Glory to the Shogun and her everlasting reign.
This is the slogan shouted by the Inazuma soldiers as they rushed to the front line.
From the moment of birth, humans will have a strong yearning and curiosity about the world. This is the anchor point for understanding the world and the foundation for building reason.
The world of the Inazuma people is also like this.
There, thunder, lightning, wind, and rain were primordial facts of life, as well as light, and the sea... and the Raiden Shogun.
It was the Shogun who sent down thunder from the sky, ignited the trees, and brought fire to the people.
It was the Shogun who brought down the rain, moistened the earth, and brought wealth to the people.
It was the Shogun who protected Inazuma, defeated the demon god, and brought stability to the people.
The shogun's reputation has long escaped the shackles of life and turned into a belief that Inazuma will inherit forever.
With this reputation and power, people have reason to believe that their descendants will also witness the same scenery, build their hearts with the same faith, and continue this inheritance.
This is the eternal paradise that the Almighty shogun promised her people!
Even if two of the Tri-commision have been infiltrated by the fatui, the shogun's thunder is still so dazzling.
The woman who walked out of the castle tower was wearing a purple fitted kimono with a gentian flower pattern on it.
Compared with traditional kimonos, the main collar of this kimono is not tight, but is separated to the shoulders. At the same time, the hem is much shorter than ordinary kimonos, only reaching the thighs.
This is a very suitable outfit for fighting. It is beautiful and will not be restricted by the clothes.
The dark purple long hair is tied into a braid and hangs behind the back. The closer to the end, the lighter the hair color.
Although this hairstyle reminds people of a village woman, it is just right for her.
She didn't have many head ornaments, only a combination of blue violet flower and a folding fan.
The golden tassels hanging behind her ears gave her a more noble look.
The most amazing thing was the teardrop mole at the corner of her right eye. Its existence not only did not destroy the beauty of the general, but also suppressed the coldness in the corner of her eyes.
"Glory to the Shogun and her everlasting reign!"
After Raiden Shogun came out, under the leadership of Kujou Sara, everyone shouted this slogan that had already resounded throughout the Inazuma.
There was no expression on General Raiden's face, and there seemed to be a faint flash of lightning in her light purple eyes.
Bai Luo crouched on a sakura tree near the martial arts field of the castle tower, not daring to breathe.
Because he was not sure whether General Raiden would notice his presence.
Fortunately, after she came out, her eyes fell more on the young man who challenged Kujou Sara to a duel in front of the throne, and it seemed that she did not see through Bai Luo's invisibility, which also made him feel relieved.
"Start."
There was no lengthy speech, nor was there any pre-war mobilization.
General Raiden stood tall in front of the castle tower, responding to the enthusiasm of his people without any emotion.
As a puppet pushed by the Electro Archon in front of the curtain, General Raiden only had things that must be done and things that must not be done.
For her, a duel in front of the throne was just a matter of nodding, and there was no third option.
Kujou Sara, who was already familiar with General Raiden's style, took a deep breath, walked down the steps, and came to the martial arts field.
Seeing this, the boy put down the white cat in his arms, stroked its little head, and signaled it to wait somewhere else.
I don't know if it was a coincidence, but it ran to the only Sakura bloom tree in the entire martial arts field.
This also made Bai Luo, who had been here for a long time, very nervous.
"At this point, there is no room for regret. Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? I will try my best to help you fulfill them."
Pulling out the katana in her hand, Kujou Sara sighed secretly.
"Wish?"
The boy spit out the grass leaves in his mouth, and also held the sword in his hand, looking at the condescending shogun with a fiery gaze.
"I have eaten the food I wanted to eat, and I have also seen the castle tower. Except for that Musou no Hitotachi sword, I have nothing else to ask for."
"I know."
Just want to die?
As the arm of the hatamoto general Shima Masaoki fell, the duel in front of the throne officially began.
Both sides are holders of the Electro Vision , and their fighting style is also vigorous and resolute.
Kujou Sara was the first to swing her katana, creating a flash of lightning and aiming the opponent's head directly.
If you trace the origin of Inazuma's swordsmanship, it actually all comes from the same person.
That is the Electro Archon.
The naginata technique, swordsmanship, and sword-forging technique were all passed down directly by the Electro Archon.
Later, it developed into different branches according to different people.
But in the final analysis, some similar shadows can still be seen.
Therefore, in addition to the factor of the Vision, this kind of duel also depends on the understanding and application of the sword by all parties.
Kujou Sara's swordsmanship originated from the military camp, and there was a little more solemnity in the opening and closing.
After being trained by General Raiden, it has a little more divine power.
[A/N: Here, Divine power means that she possess more Lightning compared to other normal Vision Holders]
The boy who fought against her was different.
He has been wandering around the world for many years, so he always has a little more leeway when he draws his sword.
This also led to him being suppressed by Kujou Sara at the beginning.
Even so, it does not mean that he will definitely lose.
To put it another way, Kujou Sara is an explosive player, while the boy is a persistent player.
Although her momentum is very strong, after this breath is over, it will be the boy's home court.
The first breath is strong, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted.
If she can't defeat the boy with this breath, then it's time for the opponent to counterattack.
But as the fight went on, Kujou Sara noticed something wrong.
The three magistrates who were watching the battle next to the martial arts field were not sitting on the chairs at this time.
After all, the Raiden Shogun was still standing, how dare they sit down.
Kamisato Ayato, who was watching the battle, also noticed something wrong with Kujou Sara on the field.
In the eyes of others, he may know some swordsmanship as he has been in power for many years, but at most it is for personal use.
Little did they know that he himself is also the owner of the Vision and has excellent combat effectiveness.
He could see that Kujou Sara's explosive breath had almost exhausted all hed strength, but the boy never used it to fight back.
Most of the time, it was Kujou Sara who was attacking, while he was counterattacking slowly.
Even when there were opportunities to attack, he seemed not to see them and missed them.
Rather than a duel in front of the emperor, it was more of a farce.
"Ding——"
After finding a chance, Kujou Sara's sword lightly flicked, shook off the weapon in the boy's hand, and pulled him to put the sharp blade on his neck.
The boy did not resist throughout the whole process, and even threw his weapon out somewhat obediently, allowing the other party to subdue him.
This time, not only Kamisato Ayato, but even Hiiragi Shinsuke, who was not famous for his force, saw some clues.
"Do you know what you are doing?!"
The sharp blade flashing with cold light was placed on the opponent's neck, and Kujou Sara's hands kept shaking.
She never felt that her swordsmanship could beat the opponent, after all, she was mainly based on archery.
According to her expectation, she would use sword skills to lower the opponent's vigilance, then switch to bows and arrows, catch the opponent off guard, and win the battle.
But she never expected that the duel in front of the emperor would end in such a dramatic situation.
"I still have to save my energy to face the Shogun's sword."
The boy had an apology in his eyes.
Because he understood what such a duel meant to her.
But he destroyed the solemnity of this duel in front of the throne.
"You can't stop it."
Putting away her katana, Kujou Sara said very seriously.
She had followed General Raiden in battle for many years and had the honor of seeing the shogun take action.
That sword condensed the ultimate martial arts of General Raiden.
The profoundest of the profound is the Musou no Hitotachi. A sword art without parallel in all the world.
No one can survive under that sword.
Even the demon god can't stop it.
