Chapter 49 - Chapter 49: Sword Hill!

"Is it my turn?"

Hearing Roxy's words, Shirou couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Just now, Rudeus had used a water-level magic called Heavy Rain Clouds, even directly changing the weather of the entire sky.

Such an over-the-top scene undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on him, the older brother.

Although Shirou himself didn't specialize in magic, he could fully understand just how powerful magic at that level was.

He could clearly feel the huge difference in talent between them.

In fact, Emiya Shirou wasn't unfamiliar with this feeling of a gap in talent. Whether it was Emiya Shirou himself, or in Servant Emiya's memories, they were always representatives of ordinary people, constantly looking up to those geniuses who couldn't be understood with common sense, chasing after their shadows.

Let's not talk about Emiya Shirou himself. His life was full of setbacks, until that snowy night when he received Servant Emiya's gift, and only then did he achieve a single victory.

And even Servant Emiya, who seemed to have reached the peak of his ideals, often faced endless setbacks and gaps in his life.

During his studies at Clock Tower, Servant Emiya clearly felt the distance between himself and the genius Caster, the family Caster.

As an ordinary person, he never caught up with those geniuses in magic during his entire life.

However, Servant Emiya didn't give up struggling, and never abandoned his magic training because of the objective differences.

On the contrary, Servant Emiya spent his entire life, even risking everything, and after his death, finally reached the peak of his skills, and created Unlimited Blade Works, a unique magic that even a genius Caster couldn't create. He created a truly great magic.

Ordinary people may lack talent and ability, but if they discard all confusion and doubt, and retain only pure persistence, they can still achieve extraordinary miracles.

"Huff."

Shirou slowly took a deep breath, met Roxy and Rudeus' gaze, walked to the deserted wilderness, and then closed his eyes.

He focused on the meaning of the elements in his deep consciousness.

Unlike spells, magic in this world is a pure elemental structure. Magicians use it to control elements and perform magic.

Shirou had prepared enough for this moment, even staying up for days. But he knew he didn't have much magic talent. He couldn't perform water-level magic like Rudeus.

So, Shirou could only use his own way, his half-baked and opportunistic methods, to achieve his own magic.

Just like what he had done in the past, no matter what method he used, he would get to the end, however ugly it looked.

"!!"

Shirou raised his right hand, but didn't chant a spell.

In the past, even when using basic earth magic, Shirou still had to use the basic spell chants. He couldn't do chantless magic like Rudeus.

But at this moment, he truly did chantless magic.

How did Shirou do it? After he gazed into the void, the surrounding earth began to tremble strangely. The earth and rocks began to resonate.

Roxy and Rudeus quickly judged that it was magic at the intermediate level.

Although it was chantless magic, its release speed, range, and elemental power were far inferior to Rudeus's water-level magic.

Shirou's magic was the magic of an ordinary person. Anyone could see this sad fact at a glance.

However, although Roxy and Rudeus were somewhat disappointed, Shirou himself didn't seem to be shaken by his magic being too simple.

He just continued to maintain the intermediate level earth magic, like a clumsy painter, using an ordinary paintbrush to draw his own picture.

He focused on his creation.

Time slowly passed for several minutes. Shirou's earth magic only maintained that pure resonance. There were no large earth walls, nor were there many exaggerated rock spears.

The vibration of the earth was slight and maintained a certain rhythm, which made people feel bored.

Rudeus and Roxy were starting to get disappointed, they might really only see this from Shirou. They thought Shireo's magic skills could only be at this level. Then -

"I am the bone of my sword!"

Shirou suddenly said a familiar chant.

It was still just the first line of the Unlimited Blade Works chant. Shirou's ability still couldn't allow him to recite the entire chant of Unlimited Blade Works.

But just as that line fell!

"Snap!"

It was like the sound of a military order, like a signal falling silent to end war!

In the trembling of the earth, large amounts of soil suddenly floated into the air, and quickly turned and changed, turning into solid forms.

They were like countless swords covering the entire space, enveloping everything!

"How can it be so fast?!"

Seeing so many blades forming suddenly, Rudeus widened his eyes, unable to imagine how there could be such a fast construction speed.

Those weren't earth walls or earth shields. The shape of a sword was more complex than those things. It wasn't something that could be easily copied.

"It's because it's soaked with water!" Roxy saw more things than Rudeus. "The ground became soft and loose because of the water-level magic that Rudy released, and that is why the swords could take shape very quickly."

Of course, even so, it didn't explain why so many swords could be built so quickly.

Shirou had talents for building swords that ordinary people couldn't understand.

However, just building the shape of a sword was useless.

Even if countless swords were created, they were still just rock swords made of soil. Earth swords lacked attack power. Earth magic should be a synonym for defense.

However, the truth far exceeded everyone's expectations.

The space that was originally empty suddenly burst into flames. The flames tempered those ordinary earth swords. After baking the rock blades, the soil on the surface peeled off, revealing the sharp shape underneath.

"!!!"

Countless blades covered the scene.

The sharp swords had an indescribable piercing force. Even a powerful monster would probably be completely pierced by so many swords.

But there were no such enemies on the scene.

So Shirou didn't directly launch all the swords. Instead, he controlled all the blades, keeping the sword tips pointed downwards!

"Zing!"

It was like thousands of buzzing sounds.

A large number of blades were all stuck straight into the ground.

The barren wilderness that was originally empty had turned into a hill with lots of swords in it!
