Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

Chapter 388  Level 4 Divine Art Techniques

So it was basically an infinite barrage of homing blades, which was kind of terrifying. Each blade could damage souls, so catching all of them would definitely kill me, both physically and spiritually. While casting the technique, I could perceive that she just used Spacetime Magic Level 6: Transport Delay to prevent me from running away for a few seconds, reassuring herself that her technique would hit me. "I see. If I cannot avoid it, I have to counter it then." Due to the number of circles, she probably would perform a high-level divine art technique that included a high number of blades shooting at me. In that case, since I could not afford to reveal my Ultimate Arts, I thrust my hand the same way as hers and cast a technique that was kind of similar. After gathering a huge amount of fighting spirit from my body, hundreds of golden circles were neatly summoned behind me. I could see her face flinching from afar; she probably did not expect that my proficiency with Divine Sword Art would be this high. Thanks to the Sloth of the Overlord of Sins, I was able to cast my technique faster, and the circles had been laid a second before she completed her technique. With the artillery loaded, both of us unleashed our techniques in unison. "Rain of Relentless Blades." "Storm of Raging Swords." After reciting our Level 4 Divine Art techniques at the same time, our techniques finally activated, and the golden circles started to shine and spin. Immediately, golden blades were rapidly fired from each of the circles one after another at the speed of over Mach Ten, making each blade milliseconds to reach the target. Since we executed different techniques, the shapes and sizes of our golden blades were not identical. Hers were around fifteen inches long and shaped like those of Gladius. On the other hand, my blades were shaped like longswords with a length of three feet from tip to tip. My current goal was to use my blades to deflect her daggers, as many of her blades were aiming at me. I did not have time to check on her right now and could not land a blade on her concerning Edith\'s safety yet, so I was trying to protect myself for now. Clink! Clink! Clink! Clink! Clink!

Our golden blades of pure fighting spirit clashed within the space between us. The space was filled with the sparks and harsh sounds of the collision of extremely fast blades. It was so dangerous that it could be called no man\'s land, or air. The collision of the blades deflected each other, and they flew toward random locations—to the sky, the surface, and the horizon. All of the trees, boulders, and monsters nearby were not safe from the blades and were rapidly butchered into pieces by them. The violent and destructive storm of blades was not finished yet, but the area of the one kilometer radius around us had become a complete mess. The forest was cleared, trees and boulders were smashed into tiny fragments, dead monsters and animals were everywhere, and countless soul-damaging golden daggers and swords were stuck on the earth and corpses like arrows after a huge volley. The blades negated each other, and they began to dissipate slowly several seconds after the collision. If there was a survivor seeing the scene right now, they could think of it as a battlefield between two opposing nations, and they would be delighted to see an epic battle like this. Throughout the whole exchange, my opponent\'s face was getting more irritated the more her blades could not land on me. Meanwhile, my minds, including my parallel minds, were all fully occupied tracking the trajectory of her blades in order to intercept them. In addition to the numbers, their individual speeds were barely perceivable, and I fortunately managed not to miss a single dagger thanks to my newly acquired power, Eyes of Providence, which greatly enhanced my senses. After a minute or so of clashing our blades, she probably hit her limitations and lowered her hand to finally stop the barrage. I wanted her to think that I was out of juice as well, so I pretended to be out of breath and stopped firing my blades before I summoned an Umbrium longsword in my left hand and intercepted her remaining blades by using Divine Sword Art Level 2: Flash Strike. Now that I did not have distractions, I could now take a look at her using the abilities of the Eye of Providence.
