Fanatio has him in his crosshairs, then he falls, then she releases the attack.
No, she releases the attack when he is still in the crosshairs. The projectile shot forward when Sigurosig's upper body was in the crosshairs.
The Heaven-Piercing Blade thrummed and began to glow, shrouded in the brilliant light of Solus. The straight line extending from its sharp point intersected directly with Sigurosig’s massive body.
“Pierce him, light!!” she cried.
Schwoo-pah!! The air itself shook as a beam of compressed sunlight shot, blinding, across the battlefield.
0 mention of Sigurosig faceplanting before the attack was executed.
Then pray tell, what memory of the mirrors is it replicating to make that light?
That's literally my argument man. It doesn't. It is literally just draining its own life and shooting it as luminous element attacks. It's literally imitating its previous function based on what the system allows it to do, that's it. It's not replicating it. It's purpose was to condense and reflect a different source of energy. So all it is doing now is using its own life as the catalyst, and blurting it out in a condensed way.
it would be generating the light the mirrors had reflected in the past.
Please read that again, I'm sure eventually you'll realize how non-sense of a sentence this was.
Just like the Blue Rose sword makes ice in the shape of roses that were once contained within the ice block it was made from.
You don't seem to realize the Rose is actually still part of the sword. Both the memory of the glacier and the rose resides within the Blue Rose Sword. And also, Rose and the Thorns are completely up to Eugeo to manifest. The ability itself is to drain the power of others. The Ability and Manifestation are two separate functions. Ability comes from the weapon, the manifestation comes from its user. That's also why to be able to utilize the memory ability of a weapon, you need to resonate with it. You are missing so many fundamental information in your thought process.
we have real life lasers, that use energy to generate beams of light that move at light speed.
I fail to see how this is relevant, considering a game engine and our reality work in different ways.
I don’t get why this is so unbelievable to you that she fired a laser.
It's not that it is unbelievable. It's that it is wrong. That's not how Divine Objects and their Memory Abilities function.
Also, you’re missing that it melted his iron hammer in half.
I haven't missed anything actually. I'm just responding cherry picked stuff you throw my way bit by bit. Glad you realized that for once, you had missing information. Sadly, that means I now have something else to explain... But hey, at least this explanation is much more interesting than all the other basic info I was sharing.
The material something is made out of doesn't matter in Underworld in the grand scheme of things. What matters is the quality of an object. The materials you use for an object does affect the quality of the weapon of course, it's not completely worthless, but it really is a matter of stats in the end. You can come at me with a steel battle hammer and I can destroy it with a twig, if my twig is classified as a higher quality object. Which is exactly the case actually. Fanatio's sword is technically a mixture of metal and glass, that's what a mirror is. Mirrors are extremely fragile after all. But you'll see it going head to head against all kinds of weaponry. Because the fact that it is a mixture of metal and glass doesn't matter. Underworld is built with a game engine, and game rules take precedence. Heck, Kirito's sword is literally wooden. Yet Kirito uses it to block Conflagration Bow's Memory Abilities.
Now, going back to the topic, Dark Territory weapons are quite ***** in their quality. The only ones that possess some sort of decent weaponry are the Dark Knights, but even that leaves a lot to be desired. Shasta's weapon was really one of the exceptions, as it was actually a divine object passed down through generations of the order. The other weapons are just standard issue stuff. And even then, the material quality is not that high in the Dark Territory to begin with, so even if you match standard weapons of both lands against each other, it will be the Dark Territory issued weapon that will crumble first in an equal match, as in one person is not outmaneuvering the other in clever ways. Just lock the swords normally against each other in a swing, and the Dark Territory weapon will shatter.
Last but not least, Incarnation factors in. Check a little bit after, when Sig goes berserk and Dakira cuts him off. The reason his war hammer defeats Dakira's greatsword is solely because his incarnation pushed the hammer to a much higher level momentarily. So in the end, if your resolve is strong enough, your weapon can withstand a lot more, or can wreak havoc a lot more. And that is a good point to circle back to, because that is also exactly what Memory Abilities of a Divine Object is all about.
It's Spatial Resources, called upon and strengthened by the Incarnation of the user. That's why the resonance needs to be there between the object and the user. Because your will needs to be in tandem with what the weapon is all about to be able to call upon that power. And that's why when you falter, so does the Memory Abilities of your weapon, because you get thrown out of that resonance.
How does simple wood withstand the fire of a phoenix? How can a piece of wood withstand the same thing that can melt cast iron with ease? How can flower petals cut through ice?
This is exactly why you need a better fundamental understanding of how Underworld functions. Because otherwise, you make silly statements like you have been doing for a while in an attempt to save face, just to be able to jerk up some fictional characters.
That’s also a magic mirror, so any interactions it has with the beam don’t work as debunks either, I just want to point that out real quick.
Oh, almost forgot about this little bit. This is incorrect. The moment you give shape to generated elements, they turn into an object of that shape, with the property of the element used as catalyst. Kirito used both Crystalline and Metallic Elements and then conjured a Mirror Shape. While it is a mirror of low quality, as you can only create low effort counterfeit products that quickly disappear due to their low life value even if you don't do anything with them using Spatial Resources, it still acts as a normal mirror for all intents and purposes.
So no, the reason why the interaction is as it is is not because that was not a mirror. It was because what tried to pierce it was not actual light.
In fact, I'll take it one step ahead. If it was truly a light beam, it simply would not have destroyed the mirror and continued towards Kirito further with a majority of its blast. Because obviously, that is not how light works, it just reflects. This one doesn't, because it is a concentrated barrage of Luminous Elements. With only a bunch of them bouncing back from the object and the rest continuing their path despite having brought to a halt for a tenth of a second.
Anyways, this was fun. If you have more confusions, feel free to bring them up. I at least hope they won't be as basic as the ones before and will require more interesting information like the final ones.
