After a few minutes of fierce fighting, Ryuga finally found a chance to win.
On the battlefield.
With the support of her ghostly body's unlimited physical strength, Ryuga brandished her two swords at the critical moment, forcing Karna to defend himself with all his might. There was almost no room for him to counterattack.
However, because of the golden armor, Karna did not show any signs of weakness. If this continued, the battle might not end even after an hour of fierce fighting.
However, because of Ryuga's continuous rapid attacks, Karna could barely fight back a few times before. But now, he was only focused on defending himself and did not have the slightest chance to counterattack.
"Form Four: Illusory Rainbow."
When Ryuga forced Karna to defend himself, she suddenly broke free. Her speed increased again, and she spun around Karna at a speed that left countless afterimages behind her.
Karna didn't let his guard down in the slightest. He knew that he was only escaping now to prepare for the grand attack that was to follow. He immediately calmed himself down and quickly scanned his surroundings.
"Form Two: Flaming Tiger."
Then, while Karna was fully alert, two enormous flaming tigers that were five meters tall jumped out of the afterimages around him and roared at the same time, lunging at him with their fangs.
"This attack is useless against me. So, your goal is … to block my vision?"
Karna was very experienced in fighting, and he saw through Ryuga's goal at a glance.
Even so, he had no choice but to kill the two Flaming Tigers. If his vision was truly blocked, then he would truly be finished.
"Form Eight: Thousandfold Circulation."
In an instant, with a violent rotation, two fire dragons appeared on Ryuga's swords, leaving a winding trail in the air. They roared and pounced in Karna's direction.
The sword skills that he had learned in the world of the Blade of Exorcism could not keep up with his footsteps.
Fortunately, when he was in Chaldea, he had asked for Skaha's help. The two of them worked together to make some modifications, extending the original technique and removing some unnecessary steps, making the sword technique more exquisite. Even in a battle between Sacred Swordsmen, the sword technique wouldn't fall behind at all.
"A sword skill that greatly increases its power as it revolves?"
As soon as Karna defeated the two flaming tigers, the two flaming dragons had already arrived in front of him. After the Illusory Sun Rainbow spun dozens of times, their power had increased by more than fifty percent.
Karna's expression turned grave. Even if it were him, if he chose to take such a blow head-on, the damage through his golden armor would most likely be enough to inflict severe injuries on him.
Once he was injured, he wouldn't be able to display his full strength. That would basically mean defeat.
He clenched the steel spear in his hand and gathered all the strength in his body to the limit. Facing the two fire dragons that were attacking him, he thrust out an explosive spear.
"Boom — —!!!"
A violent rumble that sounded like an earthquake boomed all of a sudden. Countless spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground under their feet from the collision.
Just the shockwave alone caused the ground to sink by more than a foot, forming a huge pit with a diameter of more than three meters.
"Pfff!"
Karna abruptly spat out a large mouthful of blood, and he couldn't help but hurriedly retreat from the impact. Even his aura seemed to have withered for a moment.
But in the end, he managed to survive the fatal blow.
Fortunately, he had the golden armor. Otherwise, he might be dead by now.
At the same time, his heart relaxed for a moment, and he didn't even notice that his chest was wide open.
At the next moment —
"Form Thirteen —"
However, after sending him flying, Ryuga didn't stop at all. Instead, she stepped forward abruptly and abandoned the katana in her left hand. She gripped the katana in her right hand tightly with both hands and pointed the tip of the sword at Karna's heart.
At this moment, he released a sharp sword intent that seemed to be able to destroy everything. It was as if the next sword strike would be able to destroy everything.
"What?"
At that moment, even Karna couldn't help but be shocked.
"That sword strike just now wasn't a sure-kill move?!"
Indeed, it wasn't.
After all, she didn't really defeat him, so of course, it wasn't a sure-kill move.
The so-called sure-kill move was bound to have the iron law of defeat when the sword was drawn.
And the next sword strike was Ryuga's sure-kill move in the true sense.
"— Blind Triple Thrust."
In a hundredth of a second, Ryuga gathered all the strength in her body and stomped her feet. She stepped out continuously at a speed as if she was teleporting.
One step, she exceeded the speed of sound.
Two steps, there was no gap between them.
Three steps, she used the Invincible Blade.
Three steps in a row.
Ryuga had already arrived in front of Karna with the katana in her hand. With superb skills and lightning speed, she stabbed the katana in her hand horizontally.
At that moment, Karna was slightly relieved. He, who was wide open, couldn't defend against this sudden sword strike at all.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
It wasn't the three stabs that came one after the other.
Instead, the first stab contained the second stab and the third stab. In other words, there were three stabs that existed at the same time.
The three stabs were focused on one point and landed on the same spot at the same time.
The power of the three stabs overlapped with each other and had the ultimate destructive power. Most substances would be destroyed by such a sword strike and couldn't be defended against.
However, the Golden Armor was a godly artifact bestowed by the Sun God, and it couldn't be destroyed by such a strike. Still, the damage caused by the combination of the three stabs landed on Karna's body.
"Ahh-!"
Even though he was a hero who was doing charity, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and spit out a mouthful of blood after being hit by this sword strike. Then, he was sent flying, and his aura quickly withered.
Even though 90% of the damage caused by the combination of the three stabs was weakened by the Golden Armor, it still severely injured Karna.
"Puff!"
After being sent flying for hundreds of meters, Karna couldn't help but kneel on the ground and spit out another mouthful of blood. He felt that the Qi and blood in his heart were surging, and his spiritual core was almost shattered by this strike.
"It's not just a move. There are other forces as well … Is it a special attack ability?"
The injuries hovering around his body were obviously unusual, as if he had been targeted by something.
Karna immediately knew that it was a special attack ability. The Black Saber must have a special attack ability, and he happened to be in the range of the opponent's special attack.
"You didn't use it before because you wanted to give me a hard blow … Beautiful!"
The essence of special attack abilities was to increase the damage.
The wounds that Liu Xia had inflicted on Karna were too light. Even if he used Mystic Killer, he wouldn't be able to determine the outcome of the battle. On the contrary, it would only alert Karna, so he didn't use it. Instead, he gave Karna a vicious blow.
At this moment.
In the blink of an eye, the outcome was decided.
