Shirou Emiya is determined to kill all the cursed spirits and evil spirits

"Releasing a slashing blow and then splitting the object in front of you is a fairly simple attack method. However, the power of the technique ultimately comes down to who wields it."

"like this."

As he spoke, Ryomen Sukuna stretched out his left hand, and used his fingers like sword blades to gently slash towards Emiya.

"【untie】."

"?!"

Emiya, who vaguely sensed the coming crisis, immediately turned away, and the invisible slash passed through his original position and hit the wall not far away, leaving a crack that was dozens of meters long.

It looked as if some huge sword blade had really slashed at it.

"You're still feeling pretty sharp, come on, come on."

As if he had found some new and interesting toy, Ryomen Sukuna began to continuously perform [Release] with his left hand, forcing Emiya to continuously rotate and move in the entire space in order to avoid being hit head-on.

It seemed that in an instant, the offensive and defensive situation was reversed.

blah-

Even while dodging, Emiya was accidentally scratched on the shoulder by the invisible [Release], and blood spurted out directly without hindrance.

If we just maintain this situation, we will simply be played around by Ryomen Sukuna and be like a frog in boiling water.

No, I have to find a way...

Emiya knew that if he continued like this, the situation would only get worse, but Ryoumen Sukuna was obviously the type of person who could not be affected by serious injuries in the conventional sense and could take his attacks without restraint.

But on the other hand, Emiya can't do that.

His body was far from being that strong, and he didn't know any [reversal techniques] that could quickly heal injuries. Exchanging injuries for injuries was definitely the stupidest strategy.

Moreover, this "slash" was invisible and colorless, with only the air vaguely appearing to be swallowed up.

Could the way Ryoumen Sukuna waved his fingers be a prerequisite for the technique to be activated? Or was he simply deliberately trying to confuse others?

"I'll use this blade against you, Sukuna."

"Your technique is to cut through all objects, right? So, what if you encounter an immortal holy sword that can never be destroyed?"

"Trace on!"

Emiya clenched his hands slightly at his side, holding a long sword with a golden guard and a silver-white blade.

Its name is——

"Durandal." (The Indestructible Supreme Saint)

The holy sword Durandal is said to be indestructible and can cut through anything. It is often compared with Excalibur (the sword of sworn victory) as an immortal and indestructible holy sword.

This blade, symbolizing holiness and justice, was once the sword of the Paladin Roland. Before him, the owner of the Holy Sword Durandal was Hector in Greek mythology.

Even if Ryomen Sukuna's slash could really reach the space, it might not be able to cut through this indestructible holy sword.

"What a collection of bizarre weapons! Is this the Immortal Holy Sword?"

"You're so arrogant! Let me see what this so-called holy sword looks like when it's broken."

"【untie】!"

As Sukuna's fingers slashed down, the invisible slash came towards Emiya again.

However, this time, Emiya did not choose to dodge. Instead, after finding the right direction to strike, he raised the sword in his hand without hesitation and met the attack.

boom----!

"what?!"

The slash, as usual, destroyed the already unsightly wall, but Emiya, who stood still, and Durandal in his hand did not reveal any flaws.

There is no doubt that such a slash cannot harm this legendary holy sword.

Although it had no use for Emiya other than being indestructible, out of caution Emiya still stored it in the [Inherent Barrier] in advance, and it was successfully put to use at this time.

"Now, it's my turn to strike back... Sukuna!"

Volume 1: Chapter 70: Domain Expansion - [Demon Subduing and Cooking]

Is this a declaration of victory? Not really.

It's just the clarion call to charge.

After declaring a counterattack, Emiya immediately followed his words and started charging with his sword, heading straight towards the direction where the two Sukuna were.

"Damn it... [Solution]!"

Ryomen Sukuna remained standing in the same place without moving, but launched an even more powerful attack.

It's not that he didn't understand the situation and didn't have the wisdom to fight, but he simply couldn't believe that his technique could be easily broken by such a sword.

boom----!

The invisible slash slashed from bottom to top, even completely cutting off the entire underground space from beginning to end.

The ceiling, which had been blocking countless layers of buildings, was split open layer by layer, revealing the dark sky clearly and allowing some sparse rain to fall into this underground space.

This was certainly because the special-grade cursed spirit had been destroyed and the [Field of Life] was gradually dissipating, but it was also enough to prove the power of Sukuna's slash.

However, Emiya, who was in the center of the slash and holding Durandal to block in front of him, remained unharmed.

Seeing that his best efforts in [Solution] could only achieve this result, Ryomen Sukuna immediately went crazy.

"What on earth is this sword?"

Even the so-called special-grade cursed tools are mostly just slightly more powerful toys in front of Sukuna. It is almost impossible to directly withstand his [Solution].

But how could such an ordinary sword in front of me be able to achieve such a level?

"Durandal, the immortal holy sword wielded by the legendary paladin Roland and the Greek mythological hero Hector."

"It may not be very famous here, but back home, it's a holy sword as famous as King Arthur's Excalibur."

Because revealing such information would not affect Durandal's use at all, Emiya, who wanted to experiment with the effect of [Binding], chose to reveal it without hesitation.

Although this basic rule of the world of sorcery is strange, it is not difficult to understand: revealing information or restricting its use in exchange for an improvement in one's [binding style].

Even after completing this [binding] himself, Emiya could clearly feel the changes in Durandal.

The effect of [Binding] was not strong, so the surface of the blade was only inexplicably blessed with a certain amount of cursed power, and had no effect on Durandal himself.

As for the effect, it would of course hurt more if it hit the cursed spirit.

"...the holy sword from myth and legend?"

The expression on Ryoumen Sukuna's face was a little hard to describe, but in short, he looked completely incredulous.

As someone who was active thousands of years ago, doesn't he know whether there are ghosts and gods in this world?

But he could actually feel the [restraint] on Emiya, which meant that the other party was not lying about this matter.

"It doesn't matter. As long as I destroy this annoying sword, it doesn't matter what its origin is."

"【untie】!"

Since a simple slashing attack cannot break through the defense, he will give up the single slashing attack and use a more frequent attack method instead.

Even armor has gaps in its defense, let alone a sword?

Buzz-buzz-!

Dozens of slashes together formed a death grid. The momentum of them combined could even cut the air into a vacuum state and surge inward. The actual flying speed was far greater than the speed of sound.

In fact, Emiya is not good at using a long sword like this, but at the moment of completing the projection, he also copied the original owner's martial arts.

enough.

boom----!

The speed of the 'slash' is very fast, but so what?

As long as the sword is swung fast enough and the trajectory is delicate enough, it can form a perfect defensive arc. Even the raindrops falling from the sky can hardly get close to it, let alone this fast but powerful slash?

As gravel flew up from the ground, Emiya suddenly accelerated and rushed to Ryomen Sukuna, swinging his sword down.

blah-

Sukuna was dodging, and the protective curse was working, but Durandal's sword still left a shallow wound on its abdomen.

For Ryoumen Sukuna, this would only take a moment to recover, but it was ultimately an indelible shame.

boom--!

He used his palm like a sharp claw to grab at Emiya's face, but it was immediately split in half by the tough holy sword, making a sound of steel clashing.

Perhaps out of anger, Ryomen Sukuna completely gave up using long-range techniques, and instead used his palms to engage in close combat with Emiya who was holding the holy sword.

Although Sukuna's long nails were merely compared to sharp claws, his claw strikes were fully capable of matching the holy sword in Emiya's hand.

Sparks caused by the violent collision continued to burst out around the two people, illuminating the entire underground space from time to time.

puff-

Finally, after the battle was stalemate for dozens of seconds, the sword in Emiya's hand successfully pierced Sukuna's body.

But there was no anger on Sukuna's face. Instead, he smiled strangely.

"caught you."

Ryoumen Sukuna did not try to grab Emiya, but instead reached out and grasped Durandal's sword, and did not let go even though the blood spilt.

"【eight】."

Instead of the [Resolution] he had been using, Ryoumen Sukuna recited the name of another obscure technique.

Click——!

Under the effect of this unknown technique, clearly visible cracks appeared on the holy sword that was said to be immortal and indestructible, and this was exactly what Ryoumen Sukuna wanted to see.

Under his technique, there is nothing that cannot be cut or destroyed.

But once again, to his surprise, Emiya not only did not show any distressed look, but immediately loosened his hand and retreated a hundred meters away.

"Broken Phantasm."

The already cracked sword immediately showed more lines, with golden light flashing in it, and then -

----boom!!!!!!

A terrifying flame burst out from the slender sword blade, easily engulfing the entire underground space, and even the two-story building above was completely overturned.

The juvenile detention center that was standing here just a moment ago no longer exists.

The rain gradually stopped falling, but the sky remained gloomy. However, Emiya had no energy to pay attention to these things. His eyes were still fixed on the center of the huge ruins.

"Ahem, ahem... You really don't feel sorry for me at all, kid, you're wasting such a gift."

"But it's also gradually making me feel hot."

Ryoumen Sukuna, whose body was covered in blood but quickly recovered under the effect of the [Reversal Technique], walked out of the smoke and flames and headed straight towards Emiya.

"Then I will show you the secret of the technique."

Without any hesitation or warning, Ryomen Sukuna put his palms together in a unique gesture.

"The field expands!"

“——【Demon Subduing Chef】!!!”

ps: Mr. Sukuna has four hands, two of which are used for dual swords and two for bows and arrows. His domain is still...

Volume 1: Chapter 71 The body is made of sword.

【Field expansion】

The ultimate mystery of this world of spells must ultimately be classified as a type of barrier technique.

Its essence is to use the power of the curse to materialize the [Domain of Life] into reality, and to inject the spell engraved on the body into it, consuming a huge amount of curse power to construct the [Domain of Life] with the spell applied around it.

The caster in the field will be blessed with cursed power, body, five senses and even will, and the spell cast to inject into the field will definitely hit the target.

Since it is a barrier technique, chanting or making hand seals is one of the essential rituals.

What is different from the Indra seal that Gojo Satoru formed with one hand back then is that the one used by Ryomen Sukuna now is the Yama seal with both hands clasped together.
