Karna.
Karna appeared in the Mahabharata, one of the two major mythological epics in India. However, he was not the protagonist of the story, but the protagonist's archenemy and biggest opponent.
He was the son of Suriya, the sun god. However, he was abandoned by his mother and became the adopted son of a carriage couple. By chance, he met his half-brother, Arjuna. The Mahabharata was a tragic story about the fight between the protagonist, Arjuna, and Karna.
Although Karna was the villain of the story, he had a very noble character and was nicknamed the [Hero of Charity]. Even if he was killed by the protagonist, Arjuna, at the end of the story, he had no complaints in his heart. The resistance to the caste system shown in the story made him very popular until now.
Because he was the son of Suriya, the sun god, he inherited from his father the golden armor that even the gods could not destroy. The Brahmin axe-wielding Rama also gave him a powerful weapon, the [Indestructible Blade]. Coupled with his martial arts skills, he had a powerful spiritual level that was one of the best among all the servants.
Karna's martial arts skills were very strong.
Although his Golden Steel Spear had terrifying power and increased his strength by a level, his Spear Technique was also terrifying. It had reached a level that was comparable to that of a God. In other words, he was a God's Domain.
When the spear was blasted out, the huge explosive force exploded the surrounding air, causing the air to surge and make a violent explosion sound. It easily broke through the sound barrier.
The tip of the steel spear was far faster than the speed of sound, and in the deafening roar, it stabbed toward Ryuga's chest without hesitation.
The lethality of this attack was definitely at the A-level, and it could easily break through any defense.
Even in the Holy Grail War where Heroic Spirits gathered, most of the Heroic Spirits would be defeated on the spot after receiving such a blow.
However, Ryuga was of course not included.
The moment Karna attacked with his spear, Ryuga's muscles were completely tense. Without hesitation, she raised her two swords in front of her and then swept them out.
"Clang!"
In an instant, the blades of the two blades landed on the body of the golden spear by a hair's breadth, firmly stopping its momentum.
The tip and body of the Golden Steel Spear were curved like the sun, and there were several spikes that were evenly distributed like pendulums. It looked very ferocious.
However, as long as he could catch the body of the spear, he could use the shape of the spear to block it. However, this required a very strong reaction speed.
Boom!
In the span of a breath after the collision, Ryuga's hands suddenly exerted force, causing the two blades to block the golden spear in front of him.
At the same time, he brandished his two blades, causing two streams of sword qi to intersect and spiral towards Karna's chest.
With Ryuga's current realm, the sword aura she unleashed was equally powerful, not at all inferior to Karna's Divine Domain Spear. If a second or third-rate servant were to take it head-on, they would immediately be sent back to their Seats of Heroes.
However, Karna didn't dodge when he saw this. Instead, he faced it head-on and swept the deflected spear horizontally, emitting a sharp wind that could cut through gold and jade.
The spiral sword qi landed on his body, but it only made him tremble slightly. Then, he swept the spear towards Ryuga without any obstruction.
Ryuga used the same old trick. Without hesitation, he took a step back and dodged the sweeping spear. However, the sharp wind from the spear still tore a flat hole in Ryuga's windbreaker, and a white mark appeared on the skin of his chest.
This windbreaker was a magic robe. The more magic power it was infused with, the stronger its defense would be. However, there was a limit to the defensive power of the magic robe. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been unable to block Karna's spear wind.
Fortunately, his Ghost King body also had defensive power that made it difficult for swords and sabers to hurt him. With the combination of the two, as long as he wasn't hit by the spear directly, he would be fine.
"The key is that golden armor. The legends say that even the gods can't destroy it. It really is true."
As these thoughts flashed through Liu Xia's mind, she unhesitatingly swung her blade again. A circular sword Qi that resembled a full moon was released from the blade. It tore through the air and the earth as it enveloped Karna.
Karna withdrew the sweeping spear and placed it in front of him. In the instant that the two collided, his arms trembled, and he took a step back. The full moon of sword qi was blocked, and it didn't seem to have done any damage at all.
Theoretically speaking, Ryuga's sword qi, which was at the Sword Saint realm and A + grade strength, should be able to easily break through the defense of Asura's avatar. However, when it landed on Karna's golden armor, it was inexplicably weakened by too much.
"This feeling …"
Ryuga narrowed his eyes. He couldn't help but speculate as he recalled that he had experienced a somewhat familiar battle in the past.
"Your golden armor shouldn't be a pure defense. Instead, it should be some kind of conceptual ability that reduces the damage of attacks, right?"
"Oh?"
When Karna heard this, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face. He said emotionally, "You've figured out the ability of my armor in just two or three moves. Your eyesight is unparalleled!"
His golden armor was one of the relics that he owned. It was called [Sun Wheel, Armor]. It was a powerful defensive relic that was integrated with his body and was often activated.
Its function was to weaken any hostile interference, including physical attacks, magic spells, curses, and so on. It could reduce the damage that Karna suffered to one-tenth.
Ryuga's sword qi was indeed powerful, but if it was reduced to one-tenth, it would be nothing to Karna.
In the past, when he was in the Deep-sea Computer Paradise, he had met Suzaku Gozen, who had obtained the KP ability from the School of Killing and could also reduce damage to one-tenth. Therefore, Ryuga could quickly see through the ability of Karna's armor.
This defensive ability was indeed extraordinarily powerful. Even the gods couldn't break it. Even Ryuga, who was in the Sword Saint realm, couldn't forcefully cut it. It was a very troublesome power for any heroic spirit.
Ryuga's attack didn't hurt him at all, but he could launch counterattacks against Ryuga without caring about anything. This way, even if Ryuga's strength surpassed his opponent, she couldn't easily defeat him.
"However, this ability doesn't work on me."
Ryuga didn't look discouraged at all. He was no longer who he used to be. Therefore, he made such a declaration while raising the two swords in his hands.
"— Show yourself, Shura Incarnation."
In an instant, after releasing the hidden power of the two swords with magic power, a huge storm suddenly appeared, causing a set of dark blue armor to emerge from the alternate space and cover Ryuga's entire body tightly.
