Chapter 333: The Sword of the Star and the True Infinite Kalpas in a Single Thought!
Clang—!
Clang, clang—!
Clang, clang, clang—!
Edelweiss felt the force transmitted through the platinum swords.
She had clearly only received one sword strike, yet three whole forces were transmitted at the same time.
Not only that, the upper limit of the overlap was still continuously increasing.
Four, five, and even to the point where six sword strikes overlapped at the same time.
Even then, Luke's flashing figure still showed no sign of stopping.
'And that movement method…'
Edelweiss looked at Luke's "flickering" in shock.
Without support from an additional power, humans could not touch the domain of time.
Powerful swordsmen could cross the restraints of space, but no matter what, they could not exceed the limits of time.
But Luke…
Ring—!
The two platinum longswords flowed with Edelweiss's movements, as though a platinum storm had blown up around her.
In an instant, the platinum wind destroyed all the attacks rushing in from around her.
But immediately after that, the following blades appeared around Edelweiss as though from thin air.
There was no route.
No trajectory.
Before they appeared, even Edelweiss could not sense them.
It was almost as though they had truly crossed time.
Edelweiss had seen a similar attack before, though it had been a very long time ago.
From the woman known as World Clock, she had witnessed an attack pattern that was almost the same type.
The only difference was that one used twin guns, while the other used twin swords.
Because of that, Edelweiss could be certain.
Luke had indeed touched the domain of time through swordsmanship.
It was "inhuman swordsmanship" that was not inferior to her Twin-Wings sword, and might even be a step above it.
However, the most important thing was not the sword technique itself.
It was the certain realm Luke displayed through this sword technique.
Why were space and time called superior or higher elements compared to ordinary elements?
It was because the world itself did not allow these two core elements to be easily interfered with.
Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—these elements found it difficult to damage the "world."
But time and space were different.
One careless mistake could carve wounds into the "world" that would be difficult to recover from.
Back then, during the only public battle between World Clock and Yaksha Princess, at the location that had once served as the finals venue of the Seven Star Sword Art Festival…
The giant hole in space torn open by the forbidden technique, World Crisis, still had not closed even now.
An existence like Kurono was someone loved by the world.
The world had naturally handed her the key to using a higher-level ability.
Then what about those who came after?
If people not loved by the world wanted to touch the higher realm, what should they do?
The answer was Domain!
Steal a portion of authority from the world's hands.
Watching the space gradually change alongside Luke's movements, Edelweiss was truly convinced this time.
She, who had unfolded her Sword Domain first, could clearly sense that her own Sword Domain was being impacted by another Domain.
A newborn Domain.
Its range was not large, and it was not stable enough.
It could not even be called a complete version of Domain power.
Yet it was so pure and so tenacious.
An aura of ultimate sharpness.
Completely different from her own Sword Domain.
Edelweiss looked somewhat emotionally at the sharp sword that stood in opposition to Sword Peak.
Sword Domain.
A realm countless swordsmen sought but could never obtain.
Looking across the entire world, forget swordsmen who had reached the realm of Sword Domain.
Even if one counted masters of all techniques, there were only a few who had even touched the "Domain."
Edelweiss, praised as the world's strongest swordsman, Twin-Wings, the end of all sword paths in this world, was ultimately still stopped at this realm and had not reached the next stage.
Clang—!
Feeling the sword strike transmitted through her hand, which had already stacked to seven layers, Edelweiss smiled.
'I can't let him keep going.'
The appearance of Sword Domain had indeed given Edelweiss a massive surprise.
To be honest, this had already completely exceeded her expectations for this battle.
However, if Luke wanted to defeat her with this, then he was still somewhat naive.
'Speaking of which, the name of this move is a little similar to his ability.'
Edelweiss looked at Luke, who was still continuously releasing sword strikes.
Her left hand maintained its interception, while her right hand rose above her head.
The platinum longsword pointed toward the heavens, then swung downward.
At that instant, the entire space suddenly trembled.
At the peak of Sword Peak Edelberg, the center of Edelweiss's Sword Domain, a ray of light suddenly lit up.
Then, along with the descent of Edelweiss's longsword, a sword light suddenly fell from the peak of the Sword Peak.
"Sword of the Star!"
Whoosh—!
The sword light falling from the sky carried a raging cold wind.
That was not ordinary wind.
It was a storm from the sky ten thousand meters above.
For the first time in her battle with Luke, Edelweiss released a sword technique that belonged to her.
It was a peerless sword technique created with the tip of Sword Peak Edelberg as its prototype.
At the summit of Sword Peak Edelberg, the highest peak in this world at nearly ten thousand meters…
There was ice.
The temperature remained below freezing year-round, and the sky ten thousand meters above was battered day and night by cold winds.
The low temperature turned the original mountain into permanent frozen earth.
And over the long passage of time, the storm had polished that permanent frozen earth into a sharp sword tip.
Using the world's highest peak as its base, this star-forged weapon had been created by the hands of the "world," using permanent frozen earth as its material and polished over countless years.
It was truly worthy of the name Sword of the Star.
Ordinary Blazers could not even approach this sword.
Even so-called powerhouses, if they did not defend themselves with everything they had, would absolutely be unable to escape unscathed the instant they touched its tip.
And Edelweiss's sword style was created based on this star-forged weapon.
——!
There was no roar, nor was there the clear sound of swords crossing.
There were no gorgeous or beautiful special effects either.
Beneath the Sword of the Star, aside from the cold wind, all things returned to frozen earth.
Fine ice crystals drifted through the air.
And the countless time-crossing sword strikes Luke had released had unknowingly vanished without a trace.
Dual-Life-Sword's secret technique, Six Paths Sword, had been broken!
Luke looked at the sword strike Edelweiss had released and reached out to touch the enormous wound on his chest, which had still been caused after being offset by Six Paths Sword.
Then, he smiled.
Six Paths Sword had been broken?
Of course not!
Facing the sword technique Edelweiss had finally revealed, a sword technique that truly belonged to her, Luke decided to use the true secret of Infinite Kalpas in a Single Thought, which he had not yet fully mastered.
Bang—!
The nameless sword that had finally condensed into form, representing the center of Luke's Sword Domain, instantly shattered.
As the center of his Sword Domain broke apart, the Sword Domain Luke had constructed also dissolved into the air.
However, Luke did not let them silently disappear like that.
Enduring the shock to his consciousness caused by voluntarily shattering his own Sword Domain, Luke mobilized his sword intent once again.
Whoosh—!
Violent sword intent devoured all the fragments of the Sword Domain.
Then, it disappeared.
That was right.
It disappeared quietly and without warning.
Then, in the next instant—
Clang—!
A sword light instantly appeared beside Edelweiss.
Under Edelweiss's shocked gaze as she blocked the attack, the countless blades that should have been annihilated by the Sword of the Star appeared around her one after another once again.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation.
The cycle of life and death.
Infinite kalpas in a single thought.
Eternity in a single instant.
This was the true secret of Six Paths Sword: Infinite Kalpas in a Single Thought!
