A certain crossover anime's nuclear-powered sword immortal

"Strange... How did that 'King of Swords' manage to sense me when he was so far away...?"

Liliana looked at Salvatore Tony who had come over and murmured in confusion.

Erica, who was standing next to her and also witnessed this scene, then spoke at this moment.

“Since they are both ‘godslayers’ like our ‘King,’ they should be able to sense each other’s presence if they are in the same city.”

In fact, Erica's deduction was correct. The 'Godslayer' could indeed detect the location of the other party within a certain range, unless the other party deliberately concealed their aura.

However, all the 'godslayers' are chosen ones with great fortune, each one proud and arrogant, not believing themselves to be weaker than other demon kings, so naturally they would never do something as low-class as hiding their aura.

At that moment, Salvatore Tony, who was standing about five meters away from Shirou, smiled.

"So, you're the seventh 'Godslayer'?"

Upon hearing the blond youth's words, Shirou stopped looking at the sea and turned to look at him. Instead of answering Salvatore Tony's question, he sighed and asked in return.

"I think this question doesn't need an answer anymore, does it?"

Upon hearing this, Salvatore Tony's face lit up with an incredibly excited smile.

"Hahaha, you're right!"

Salvatore Tony's fighting spirit surged like never before, his eyes fixed on the red-haired boy ahead.

"I can sense your power... stronger than any 'disobedient god' I have ever encountered before!"

Upon hearing this, Shirou simply shrugged and raised his right hand without saying a word. A pale blue light flickered in his raised right hand, and then a jet-black greatsword appeared in his hand.

This is the artifact "Twilight," which was stolen from Hephaestus.

"You challenged me to a fight because I've taken over all the magic societies in Italy?" Shirou asked curiously.

"Haha, I don't care about that stuff at all~ I just think you're amazing and want to challenge you!"

Salvatore Tony spoke cheerfully, his gaze sweeping over the black greatsword in Shirou's hand.

The sword was quite unique in Salvatore Tony's eyes; its rugged blade was shrouded in a solid, azure magic, with a faint, shimmering golden light emanating from it.

Just by looking at that jet-black greatsword, Salvatore Tony could feel an immense, heart-stopping power contained within it, just as awe-inspiring as when he first faced the 'Disobedient God'.

But the more this happened, the more excited Salvatore Tony became. As a battle maniac, nothing pleased him more than being able to fight to his heart's content.

"Your strength is indeed formidable, but even so, I will not back down in the slightest!"

Although Shirou didn't actually intend to fight this 'King of Swords', since the other party wanted to challenge him, he, as a fellow 'Godslayer', seemed to have no reason to refuse.

It was because of this idea that Shirou directly manifested "Twilight," the strongest weapon he could "use" so far.

This sword was originally a divine weapon forged by Hephaestus, but now it has been stripped of its control because Shirou forcibly infused it with his own 'Godslayer' power.

At this point, Salvatore Tony wasted no more time. He took down the long black box he was carrying on his back, opened it, and took out a sword that looked quite damaged from its appearance alone.

"Words can't express my excitement right now, so let's show it through battle!"

As he said this, Salvatore Tony drew the sword.

The sword was about 80 centimeters long, with a double-edged blade and a thick, robust construction.

However, judging from the material, it seems extremely rough, even inferior to the swords possessed by Erica and Liliana.

Erica and Liliana found it rather perplexing that the 'King of Swords' would wield such a weapon.

But Shirou doesn't see it that way.

Because he knew that Salvatore Tony's first and original power was called — "Silver-armtheRipper"!

This is Salvatore Toni's strongest power, the first power he usurped from the Celtic god-king 'Nuaada'.

This power can transform Salvatore Tony's right hand into a 'silver arm', and anything grasped by his 'silver arm'-transformed right hand, even a tree branch, will be endowed with the power of a deadly magic sword capable of cleaving through all matter in the world!

The power of specializing in 'severing' is extremely great; it can even sever shapeless things such as liquids, gases, spirits, and magic. If you pour all your magic power into it, you can even cut through divine artifacts like the 'Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi'.

Furthermore, the magic sword, imbued with power by Salvatore Tony, can change its shape depending on the opponent, transforming into a 'light sword' (laser sword) over a thousand meters long to cleave distant armies in two.

When fighting against 'disobedient gods' or divine beasts with enormous bodies, the blade can reach a length of nine meters and its weight will exceed three hundred kilograms. In this state, it has the power to kill a divine beast with a body that is twenty meters long in one blow.

Words cannot express my feelings.

The excitement of this moment—let us understand it in battle, let us feel the surge of emotion within us in battle!

Salvatore Tony then raised his sword above his head and loudly proclaimed.

"I swear here! I will not allow anything I cannot cut to exist! And this sword is an invincible blade that can cut and cleave everything in this world!"

As Salvatore Tony activated his power "Tearing Silver Hand" with a thought, a layer of silver substance covered his right arm, which was not covered by his short-sleeved shirt, and the substance began to spread towards the greatsword he held.

Before long, the heavy, rough-looking greatsword was transformed into a silver greatsword that was a full nine meters long.

It was a shimmering silver-white, displaying its unique brilliance under the dim glow of the setting sun.

"Orihara brother, aren't you going to use your powers?"

Salvatore Tony looked at Shirou, who was standing on the beach holding only a black greatsword, and asked with some confusion.

"This sword is enough."

As he said this, Shirou slightly raised the jet-black greatsword "Twilight," which he had infused with magic and divine power and which was now shrouded in azure and golden aura.

"I see... It seems you're quite confident in your abilities, Orihara-kun."

Salvatore Tony wasn't angry at all; instead, he smiled expectantly.

The tense atmosphere reached its peak at this moment.

The two knight princesses who were watching all this from the nearby shore, as well as Andrei Rivera who was following the 'Sword King', were also extremely nervous.

Bang————!

With a sonic boom, Salvatore Tony's figure suddenly vanished from the spot, and sand instantly swept through the air.

Shirou's gaze easily caught Salvatore Tony's figure, and he immediately swung his sword diagonally without hesitation!

In the instant the air vibrated, swords clashed.

Clang!

A clear, resounding sound suddenly rang out, and the sand and waves swirling in the opposite direction transformed into a tornado.

The close-quarters combat between the two "kings" intensified, and the three knights on the shore could only see flashes of blue and silver light.

Continuous slashes were unleashed, splitting the earth and parting the clouds.

The surrounding buildings were constantly suffering catastrophic destruction as the two 'godslayers' fought.

"Fortunately, the nearby civilians were evacuated beforehand, otherwise, with the clash between the two 'kings,' there would definitely be heavy casualties now!"

Erica patted her chest, still somewhat shaken, her chest heaving much more than Liliana's beside her, which made the silver-haired knight grit her teeth in envy.

Liliana looked down at her flat chest, a result of her young age, and clenched her small fists.

She secretly encouraged herself, determined to make the "King's" attention lean more towards her.

The moment this thought arose in her mind, Liliana inexplicably recalled the contents of her novel.

A series of love stories unfold between a knight girl who secretly admires the "King" for saving the city and her love for him.

Just recalling those contents made Liliana's cheeks burn. She felt ashamed that she had written such things on that night after pledging allegiance to the "King," when her mind was in turmoil.

Meanwhile, the battle on the beach continues.

Clang clang clang—!!!

Amidst the surging sword energy, countless Noble Phantasms would occasionally materialize in mid-air, plummeting downwards towards Salvatore Tony.

Salvatore Tony instinctively swung his sword to shatter the swords that were constantly attacking him, but this action only brought him trouble.

The magical power within the various magical artifacts that were shattered by his silver greatsword surged out in that instant, surging wildly and exploding suddenly!

Boom boom boom————!!!

Salvatore Tony's body was sent flying through the continuous, impenetrable chain of destruction, but this alone was not enough to defeat the 'King of Swords'. The blond youth, who escaped from the smoke of the explosion, forcibly twisted his body in mid-air before landing steadily on the ground.

At this moment, it was difficult to see any intact parts of the 'Sword King's' body. Almost everywhere there were wounds and scorch marks, and his clothes were tattered. He had lost his original demeanor and looked quite disheveled.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Sword that Guides the Stars!

"Wow... those weapons are like bombs! I never knew you, Orihara-kun, had this kind of attack method. I was really careless!"

Upon hearing this, Shirou chuckled lightly and said leisurely.

"I have even more tricks up my sleeve, come and try them out."

As he said this, thousands of swords were constructed with pale blue magical light, scattering in the air above.

Then, magical energy erupted beneath Shirou's feet, and in an instant...

He approached Salvatore Tony and suddenly swung his sword!

Clang!

Salvatore Tony hurriedly raised his sword to block, but found that at the same time he blocked Shirou's sword, the swords floating in mid-air were also shooting towards him continuously with each swing of Shirou's sword!

"Is that even possible!?"

Salvatore Tony dared not be distracted for the slightest, constantly wielding his silver greatsword to defend himself.

This 'King of Swords' has indeed reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship. Under Shirou's storm-like attacks, he was able to barely withstand them.

Salvatore Tony, the sixth god-slayer who accomplished this feat two years before Shirou killed a god, was also very famous before killing a god.

However, he became famous not because of his strength, but rather because of his weakness.

He was a pure sword fanatic, almost as if he was born for the sword.

However, despite his unparalleled swordsmanship talent that left others in despair, he possessed no talent for magic.

In this world, the strong are called 'Great Knights', but they actually mainly use magic.

Magic can not only be used to enhance oneself, but it also has a wide range of applications. Almost all the powerful people known to the public are people with superb magical skills.

In the mystical world where magic is paramount, Salvatore Tony, who has no magical talent, is seen as weak and ridiculed by everyone.

However, with unimaginable perseverance, this young man found Italy's only holy knight, 'Saint Raphael', and became his disciple.

Even so, he made no progress despite having no magical talent. As a result, Salvatore Tony continued to wander. Later, by a twist of fate, he was possessed by a god and used the god's power to kill a deity, thus becoming a god-slayer.

It can be said that among the seven Godslayers of today, only Shirou relied on his own power to kill the gods and usurp their power to become a Godslayer.
