“This place is...?”
Looking at this fantastical world constructed by swords, Blake muttered in shock.
"What do you seek?"
"What is your will?"
A voice, as if many people's voices were overlapping, echoed around. Blake was startled and looked around, but there was no one in sight, it was as if he was in a ghostly realm.
"If you are confused, try pulling me out."
After the sharp voice sounded, the entire space became fierce. The wind, seemingly from nowhere, made Blake's face hurt, as if he were being slashed by a sword.
The sword-constructed world also trembled, with countless swords flying through the air, an awe-inspiring sight. In front of Blake, a long sword made of light particles slowly appeared.
"A sword... with a life-like aura...!?"
Looking at the dazzling sword, Blake's crystal-blue pupils flickered violently, full of disbelief.
It seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, as Blake unconsciously walked toward it and placed his hand on it—
"Spirit of the sword..."
Time passed slowly, and after an unknown amount of time, Blake slowly opened his eyes. His gaze contained a deep brilliance, and faint light spots flickered.
Magic — Sword Spirit
Consumes a large amount of energy and mental focus, allowing complete immersion in the sword, awakening both sword techniques and the intelligence of the sword itself, thereby increasing the power of both the sword techniques and the sword itself by tens of times or even more.
"The spirit of the sword... Hephaestus mentioned that the Frost Whisper awakened its spirit, so this is what she meant..."
Instead of showing wild excitement, Blake seemed deep in thought.
In many worlds, famous figures have claimed that swords have souls. And it is indeed true. To give a familiar example, in the world of High School DxD, the holy sword Durandal wielded by Xenovia has its own consciousness and intelligence, even if it isn’t very clear—otherwise, it wouldn’t be so violent.
"Clang—!"
Then, a clear sound of a blade ringing echoed. Blake's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he drew a standard long sword from beside him. Using the Sword Spirit magic, he entered a transcendental state and gently performed a vertical slash in the air.
"Whoosh—!"
In Blake's astonished eyes, what was originally just a simple slash with ordinary force, only capable of producing a slight wind sound, actually cut through the air and formed a sword energy that slashed into the wall opposite, leaving a shallow sword mark.
"Hiss, this power!"
Looking at the scene, Blake couldn’t help but suck in a breath, staring at the sword mark on the wall. Luckily, he didn’t use too much force, otherwise, the entire wall would have been sliced through.
"However, the mental and energy consumption is about one-fiftieth... I’ll need to use it carefully in the future."
After noting the consumption, Blake frowned. This was just a slight enhancement of an ordinary slash, not even a full sword technique. He couldn’t imagine how much energy would be consumed when amplifying powerful sword techniques and the sword’s full strength.
But in the next moment, Blake threw these thoughts out of his mind. Having obtained this extraordinary magic, he felt satisfied. If used as a trump card, it would make fighting above his level much easier.
"Crack—!"
Just then, a cracking sound rang out, causing Blake to pause. He looked at the standard long sword, noticing that it now had numerous cracks on it. He even heard the sword's faint whimper, almost as if it was satisfied.
"Sorry..."
Seeing this, Blake's face immediately showed a deep sense of apology. Having listened to the sound of the sword, he became even more attentive to the sword’s condition.
He hadn’t expected that using this technique would require the sword’s quality to be up to par.
With a light sigh, Blake sheathed the long sword, which was close to breaking, and carefully placed it beside the bed, planning to find a place to bury it properly.
"It’s time to use Excalibur. It wouldn’t be right to let the holy sword gather dust."
Blake murmured. He hadn’t planned to use the holy sword for now, thinking it would be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
However, now that ordinary swords couldn’t withstand his sword techniques and magic, he had no choice.
"Sia, initiate the intermediate lottery."
Blake spoke expectantly.
"Yes, Master. The current luck value is 330, and 200 will be spent."
After hearing his command, Sia responded cheerfully and began operating.
The next moment, something resembling a skill book appeared before Blake, with colorful fireworks constantly blooming, just like when he first obtained Excalibur.
"What is this...?"
As Blake’s gaze shifted to the description below, his eyes instantly gleamed with joy, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
【Ittou Shura】: When using "Ittou Shura," magical power surges violently. It forcibly draws out a power that the soul was not originally meant to use, greatly enhancing physical strength by dozens of times. After use, the user will be in a weakened state for three hours.
【Ittou Rasetsu】: A strengthened version of "Ittou Shura," condensing the "strongest minute" of "Ittou Shura" into a single strike. The physical enhancement jumps from dozens of times to several hundred times, greatly improving both the speed and strength of the strike. After use, the user will be severely weakened for a day.
PS: Derived from The Chivalry of failed kight world, the ultimate move learned by the protagonist, Kurogane Ikki. It possesses the power to turn the impossible into possible.
"Another trump card. With this power, I can finally be considered a strong person, right? However, the phrase 'System-produced products are always top-notch' is really true. Originally, 'Ittou Shura' had a side effect of a day of weakness, and 'Ittou Rasetsu' is even worse."
Blake praised, feeling utterly satisfied. Besides external factors, his current strength was probably on par with Ais, belonging to the elite middle-class devil tier. But with these trump cards, he was confident that he could defeat even the high class devils. It’s clear how much these enhancements have boosted his power—he had practically taken a leap in strength.
Although in worlds like High School DxD, where gods and devils abound, and world-destroying entities are common, he might not be considered strong, but he had at least escaped the level of cannon fodder.
However, once he defeats Apollo and gains the right to use the Longinus spear for points, Blake was confident that even Satan Class and God Class would regret underestimating him
