Chapter 933 Saintly: The Holy Sword Durandal is Nothing More Than This
"I never expected that it would be an artifact related to Samael, the 'Dragon Eater'. Although I was a little surprised, it does indeed conform to the way the God of the Bible does."

When the two Heavenly Dragons interfered in the three-way war, the God of the Bible ultimately turned them into the God-Destroying Gear "Red Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets" and "White Dragon Emperor's Wings of Light".

Since he hated Samael so much, there was no reason to let only his body and soul be tormented by Hades.

"When I first saw the black longsword in Seiya-kun's hand, I thought it was the famous dragon-slaying holy sword 'Grammar' from Norse mythology, but I never expected it to be Samael..."

"Although the artifact itself doesn't reach the level of a 'God-Slaying Tool,' because it possesses the power of a 'Dragon Eater,' it's probably far more terrifying to the dragon race than a God-Slaying Tool, isn't it?"

Hearing Azazel and Sazex's discussion, Sona and Rias looked puzzled, not understanding why Azazel and the others were reacting so strongly to Seiya's artifact.

“Samael the Dragon Eater, he possesses the most ferocious dragon-slaying power.”

Faced with the "Dragon Eater," let alone the "Two Heavenly Dragons," even the infinite dragon god Orpheus might not be able to put up a fight.

As for the likes of the "Five Great Dragon Kings," they were utterly powerless against Samael.

This has nothing to do with strength; it's simply absolute restraint. A divine weapon created using Samael's blood—the name of the Dragon Slayer is truly well-deserved.

"Lord Sazex, since Seiya's divine weapon is so powerful, why isn't it among the 'God-Slaying Gear'?"

Before Sazex could answer Canna's question, Azazel, who had been studying divine artifacts, took the initiative to explain: "In addition to possessing the powerful ability to kill gods and demons, the 'God-Slaying Gear' also..."

Another reason is that "God-Slaying Gear" generally contains a complete soul.

It is also because it possesses a soul that the "Godslayer Gear" can use the "Overlord" power above the Balance Breaker.

Moreover, while the divine artifact "Dragon Slayer" might unleash power exceeding that of a divine weapon for dragons, it is merely an ordinary divine artifact for non-dragon races.

However, if Samael's soul could be added to the "Dragon Slayer," it would have the potential to become a "God-Slaying Tool."

After all, Samael, the "Dragon Eater," was no less valuable as a raw material than the "Two Heavenly Dragons."

As he spoke of this, Azazel stroked his beard, clearly quite interested in the research.

As a fervent researcher of artifacts, he has recently begun working on creating "artificial artifacts."

However, due to limitations in technology and material strength, the artificial artifacts currently created by Azazel only possess the strength and level of ordinary artifacts.

If he had the chance to participate in the experiment of upgrading ordinary divine artifacts into "God-Slaying Gears", Azazel would probably be more than willing to do so.

Getting back to the point, seeing Seiya use the artifact, which resembled a black swamp, to condense into a black longsword, Xenovia frowned slightly and said, "You intend to compete with me in swordsmanship?"

Judging from Seiya's previous fighting style, he is clearly a master of individual techniques.

But now that he was going to use a sword against her, Xenovia couldn't help but feel that she was being looked down upon.

"Compared to my physical skills, I am actually more confident in my swordsmanship."

Kiba Yuuto and Shinra Tsubaki were all skeptical of Seiya's words. After all, they had all witnessed Seiya's actions before, and even fought with him. Seiya always used his bare hands, so how could he know any swordsmanship?

As for Xenovia, she now believed that Seiya was simply humiliating her!

His swordsmanship is stronger than his previous physical skills? That's a load of rubbish!

A person's energy is limited. If you have mastered such strong fighting skills, how is it possible to further refine your swordsmanship?

"Then I'll see just how amazing your swordsmanship is. I'll use Durandal to cut your dark sword in two!"

Compared to when she used the "Holy Sword of Destruction," Xenovia's speed and reaction time when using Durandal were noticeably worse.

In terms of the strength of the Holy Sword, Durandal is definitely much stronger than the fragment of the King's Sword, which is the Holy Sword of Destruction.

However, precisely because Durandal is so powerful, Xenovia has not yet fully mastered its magic and techniques.

Seeing Xenovia's sword-wielding movements riddled with flaws, Seiya, who had originally wanted to show off his skills, sighed and said, "With the swordsmanship you're displaying now, even if I don't really have much swordsmanship skill, I can still easily crush you."

An infant wielding a peerless divine weapon is far less intimidating than an adult carrying an ordinary dagger.

Xenovia already hated demons, and now, as the Holy Sword Wielder, she was being pointed at and criticized by them. How could her pride bear this?

With all her magic flowing freely into the holy sword Durandal in her hand, Xenovia muttered to herself with an extremely stubborn expression, "Please, even if I only manage to swing this sword once, I can defeat the demon in front of me!"

Xenovia was very confident in the power of the Holy Sword Durandal. As a Holy Sword comparable to the Sword of Kings, its power was far beyond that of the Holy Sword of Destruction.

"clang------!"

Seeing the holy sword Durandal, radiating light, slash down at him, Seiya still did not choose to dodge, nor did he leave the place where he was standing. Instead, he also gripped the black sword in his hand and charged towards Durandal to meet the attack!

The moment the longswords clashed, a powerful shockwave erupted between the two, causing the already shattered ground to collapse extensively under the second impact.

The impact of the collision between the holy sword and the divine artifact even caused a slight tremor throughout the entire Kuoh Academy.

As Xenovia, wielding her swords with both hands, felt a terrifying force directly act on her arms through the holy sword Durandal the moment the blades clashed.

Almost the instant the power was felt, the Holy Sword Durandal flew out of Xenovia's hand, spun many times in the air, and was finally caught by Seiya as it fell.

What Xenovia found even more unacceptable was that Durandal, who was incredibly violent in her hands like an uncontrollable lion, became as docile as a lamb when Seiya held him in his hands.

This scene seems to further confirm Seiya's earlier statement that "it is people who choose the sword, not the sword that chooses people."

As a born holy swordsman and the user of Durandal, she couldn't even hold the sword in her hand, while the other party, who was clearly a demon, gave the impression that he was the holy knight Roland as he held Durandal!
Not only was he utterly defeated in swordsmanship, but his status as a Holy Swordsman was also trampled upon.
