The surroundings above the entire Sky Arena changed drastically.

The Great Battle between two World's Top-tier Monsters caused intense fluctuations that affected the entire Island.

Whether it was Redfield or Genryusai Shigekuni, both were too terrifying.

The entire World stared intently at the result of the final victory.

"Scarlet Moon!"

"Heaven Ash, Earth Cinder!"

The scarlet crescent moon sliced through the night sky.

Genryusai Shigekuni similarly unleashed a slash from afar at extremely high speed.

Terrifying destructive power; everything touched by the slash seemed to turn to ash and vanish.

The Great Battle lasted a full seven days and seven nights.

Both were already panting heavily, but still maintained the intense battle.

Relying on the advantage of Mind Reading Art, as the Great Battle continued, Redfield successfully closed the gap in strength.

This also caused him to severely deplete his stamina in the early stage of the Great Battle.

However, this was not a problem for him; stamina itself was his innate advantage.

The Great Battle was also nearing its final stage.

Knowing how troublesome this guy in front of him was, Genryusai Shigekuni didn't want to drag it out any longer, preparing to directly crush Redfield with a strong offensive.

Genryusai Shigekuni raised the Ryujin Jakka in his hand.

His entire body erupted with a terrifying aura; the surrounding air trembled and expanded.

Dense sword intent substantially enveloped his body.

Fire, like a swimming snake, coated the sword blade, constantly winding along his arm, enveloping his body.

His entire body was imbued with Armament Haki, fusing with the fire; the coated Haki all turned crimson.

And his entire body was as if wearing a cloak condensed from fire.

Hades saw the subtlety of this move at a glance, similar to the combination of demonic aura and Armament Haki, greatly increasing defense and lethality.

Genryusai Shigekuni directly used himself as a medium, fusing his sword intent with Armament Haki.

However, to achieve this, one needs to possess a powerful physique and a strong control ability over sword intent.

Of course, this method is very dangerous, harming both others and oneself.

This move brought powerful lethality to Genryusai Shigekuni, as if wrapped in fierce flames, attached to his body and the sword blade.

It also brings pain to himself; fire itself is violent.

But to be able to do this is simply unprecedented.

"Zanka no Tachi: Zanjitsu Gokui!"

At this moment, Genryusai Shigekuni was like a human-shaped fireball.

Even approaching him, without any defense from Armament Haki in an unguarded state, the entire person would be burned to ashes.

Redfield's heart was in his throat.

Future Sight and Mind Reading Art are two abilities; they cannot be used simultaneously.

Rarely, Redfield used the ability of Future Sight, predicting what consequences there would be if he attacked Genryusai Shigekuni.

Unsolvable, still unsolvable.

Affected by Zanka no Tachi: Zanjitsu Gokui, Genryusai Shigekuni's lethality was simply raised to the extreme.

The pain did not affect his actions; instead, it made Genryusai Shigekuni's brain even clearer.

Clang!

A flash of firelight passed before his eyes; Genryusai Shigekuni's figure appeared before him.

Redfield immediately retreated and dodged.

However, the moment Genryusai Shigekuni's body approached, terrifying heat and sword intent indiscriminately invaded his body.

Combined with Conqueror's Domain, the stress brought to him was even greater.

Sweat was being lost; moisture in the air was evaporating.

The environment's impact on Redfield was intensifying; even his mind was affected.

Genryusai Shigekuni began a fierce assault.

The lethality brought by Zanka no Tachi: Zanjitsu Gokui was simply unavoidable.

Approaching within about five meters of Genryusai Shigekuni, that continuous lethality would descend upon him.

The closer the distance, the greater the lethality.

Genryusai Shigekuni now could be said to be incredibly terrifying, especially for Redfield who was facing him directly; the feeling was even clearer.

The many Strongmen watching the Great Battle had not expected Genryusai Shigekuni to have such a method.

Could Redfield persist until the end?

Or would Genryusai Shigekuni be the first to be unable to persist?

Maintaining this move requires continuously expending more stamina.

According to the superhuman terrifying combat strength Genryusai Shigekuni is now exhibiting, Redfield should have been defeated long ago.

But it was precisely by relying on his powerful overall strength, as well as Mind Reading Art, turning passivity into activity, that he persisted until now.

Redfield's special ability is truly somewhat terrifying, even stronger than Future Sight.

Even they, these spectators, besides Hades who knew Redfield's specific ability, could feel it.

Roger was defeated in this way.

However, the final stage has arrived.

Facing Genryusai Shigekuni, facing such powerful oppression and scorching heat.

Redfield still maintained inner calmness, controlling his heartbeat, avoiding unnecessary movements to conserve stamina as much as possible.

The outcome is not yet decided; until the final moment of battle, victory and defeat are unknown.

"These two Monsters!"

The battle had already lasted nine days; both their conditions had clearly declined.

A full nine days, battling for nine days without rest, making people unable to help but sigh at their terrifying nature.

Even the audience closely following the battle situation, during this period constantly went back and forth, eating, sleeping, watching the battle, a continuous cycle.

None of this affected the two in the Great Battle.

They, these World's Top-tier Strongmen, were even clearer on how strong a physique and stamina were needed to achieve this.

Especially a continuous Great Battle of high quality.

And those audience members, through the Sword Tournament, through this battle, truly witnessed what World's Top-tier Monsters were like.

During the years the Rocks Pirates dominated the Great Sea, many people knew the terrifying and fearsome nature of the Rocks Pirates.

But as for how strong the many Cadres of the Rocks Pirates truly were, they actually never had a clear concept in their hearts.

But now, they pretty much did.

Then, as the combat power ceiling, how terrifying was Rocks D.

Xebec?

He was certainly no weaker than these two, perhaps even stronger.

Time reached the eleventh day; Redfield's body had reached its limit.

Finally, after an intense collision.

Redfield's body swayed, his umbrella sword flew out of his hand, and he fell to the ground.

As for Genryusai Shigekuni, he knelt on one knee, supporting his body with both hands on the sword handle, then slowly stood up.

He had never thought that this battle, against this young Swordsman, would be so difficult.

However, the final victor has emerged!

World's Strongest Swordsman - Genryusai Shigekuni!

The Arena, which had been calm for a long time, and even the entire World, erupted in cheers!

The Swordsmen belonging to the school excitedly embraced each other, waving their arms.

Now, their school will be completely renowned throughout the World!

Everyone felt proud of their identity.

After a short rest, Redfield had some stamina restoration, stood up, picked up his umbrella sword, and walked towards the stands.

No one looked down on him.

It should be known that there was a full eighteen-year age gap between the two.
