Jobless Reincarnation: Emiya the Great Hero Must Show His True Skills

After saying that, Atofi revealed a terrifying killing intent and approached Shirou at an extremely fast speed.

"!!"

Atofi's power was so exaggerated as to be unimaginable. The earth trembled violently with every step she took.

Despite her petite figure, she looks like a prehistoric beast, giving people an indescribable and astonishing sense of oppression.

In response, Shirou decisively raised his hands and deployed the projection.

"Projection, start!"

In an instant, as magic emerged, the twin swords Gan Jiang and Bakuye, which were most frequently used by the Heroic Spirit Emiya, appeared in his hands and quickly assumed a defensive stance.

"Dual swords? You're a swordsman of the Kitakami-ryu school?"

Atofi watched Shirou's actions, laughing loudly as he brandished his greatsword. "Very well, I am the founder of the Northern God School, and the wife of the Northern God Kalman Rebek! I'll show you the true Northern God School!"

Seeing Shirou's actions, Atofi mistakenly assumed that the other party was a user of the Kitakami-ryu style and entered a state of extreme excitement on his own.

She clearly had a good impression of the swordsmen of the Kitakami-ryu school.

It was only from Atofi's words that Shirou learned that her husband was actually the founder of the Kitakami-ryu, Kitakami Karman Rekbai.

A northern god and a demon king entered into a marriage.

If Shirou knew about this, he would probably find it unbelievable.

Of course, these thoughts only flashed through Shirou's mind.

In reality, he is more concerned about the actions of the immortal demon king Atofi.

As a demon lord, Atofi's speed and strength far exceed imagination. Most importantly, she also possesses terrifying techniques that allow her to fully unleash all her abilities!

As he said, the other party possesses the true Northern God Style!

"Northern God Style's First Powerful Attack: Phantom Slash!"

Atofi recited the names of the moves.

Furthermore, the greatsword in her hand launched a series of attacks on Shirou simultaneously from several directions at an unusual speed.

Of course, unlike the Secret Sword Swallow Return which launches three attacks at the same time, several parts of Atofi's greatsword are obvious feints.

Shirou's keen eye quickly spotted the flaw and he wielded Gan Jiang and Mo Xie to defend himself.

"boom!"

A huge roar sounded.

Shirou and Atofi's first clash has occurred.

The two sides were evenly matched.

"Tsk..."

Seemingly surprised by this outcome, Atofi was astonished, not only by the fact that Shirou's abilities could keep up with his own, but also by the fact that his opponent's fighting instincts were beyond imagination, and that he could instantly separate the real body from the illusion.

Even among humans, the Sword Emperor and the Northern Emperor would find it difficult to react so quickly.

What Atofi didn't know was that Shirou's Mind's Eye was something that ordinary people couldn't possess; this skill was the culmination of Emiya's experience accumulated from countless battles.

In terms of skill and Noble Phantasm, the Heroic Spirit Emiya may not be considered a true powerhouse, but in terms of combat experience, he is definitely no less than any top-tier Heroic Spirit.

"Boom!"

Shirou then launched an extremely fast attack against Artofi.

If it were Shirou in his original body, he would never be able to engage in this level of combat with an Emperor-level Demon Lord; he would be far from being able to keep up with the opponent's movements.

But now, thanks to the Dream Summoning, Shirou has gained physical abilities and condition far beyond what is normal, and he can even capture the Demon King's movements.

Although Atofi possesses the complete inheritance of the Northern God Style, his talent is ultimately limited. To this day, he is still only a Northern Emperor, not a Northern God. Therefore, in terms of pure offensive power, he cannot even penetrate Shirou's defense.

At least, Atofi is far from being able to completely tear apart Shirou's defenses with a single sword strike, just like the water goddess Reda did back then!

"boom!"

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Atofi swung his greatsword with great force, his expression showing impatience.

Shirou's extreme defensive swordsmanship made her feel genuinely uncomfortable, as if he had completely seen through all her movements and responded accordingly. Even though Atofi possessed the complete Northern God Style, she still couldn't break through Shirou's moves.

At the same time, Shirou was not always all about offense and no defense.

In his constant battles with Atofi, Gan Jiang and Mo Xie were shattered or knocked away time and time again, but he kept replenishing his weapons through projection.

No matter how many times Atofi breaks Shirou's weapon, the weapon in Shirou's hand will reappear again and again.

This is also one of the main reasons why Atofi felt anxious.

While Shirou's Gan Jiang and Mo Xie appeared to disappear after being knocked away, they were actually flying around in all directions due to the inherent characteristics of the Noble Phantasms.

After the environment was completely set up, Shirou once again displayed the technique he had used in his battle with Paul—the Crane Wing Triple Strike.

Furthermore, unlike the crudely executed Crane Wing Triple Strike that was merely a demonstration of sword magic at the time, Shirou is now performing the complete Crane Wing Triple Strike in the form of the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

He even used enhancement magic to strengthen the twin swords in his hands, further changing the appearance of Gan Jiang and Mo Xie, turning them into an extended version of the twin swords Gan Jiang and Mo Xie Overedge.

Faced with his strange actions, the immortal demon king Atofi was undoubtedly unable to understand them.

Just as she was about to launch another attack on Shirou, she instinctively felt a chill creeping over her.

It was only then that Atofi noticed the several weapons flying in the air around him, and that all the Gan Jiang and Mo Xie weapons were forming a chain of deadly traps in a strange manner.

"Crane Wings, don't fall!"

Shirou strengthened his twin swords and charged forward at an incredible speed.

"With skill and dedication, even Mount Tai can be reached!"

Numerous Gan Jiang and Mo Xie swords flew and circled in the sky, eventually forming a complete chain attacking Atofi from every angle.

"Heart Skill, Yellow River Crossing!"

Atofi only realized the danger at this moment and tried to defend himself, but he was completely unable to deal with the slashes coming from all directions. He could only do his best to deflect the weapons coming from behind.

However, her actions also left her vulnerable, unable to withstand direct attacks.

"Only name, separate from the heavens!"

"Two heroes, destined to part ways!"

Shirou showed no mercy. Since he was now facing the Immortal Demon King, he could not afford to be merciful at this moment. He unleashed the full power of his twin swords, slashing at Atofi's vulnerable body from the left and right simultaneously.

"Crane Wing Triple Combo!"

Paul was able to destroy all the weapons Shirou created at the same time with his Saint-level power because sword magic itself was fragile, and the created weapons could not withstand too strong an impact.

But now, the weapons that Shirou has projected in his Heroic Spirit form are powerful enough that even the immortal demon king Atofi cannot destroy them all!

"boom!"

As a result, Shirou's slash successfully tore apart Atofi's body, defeating the Demon King.

Were they defeated?

It seemed that Shirou had successfully eliminated Artoria, but at the moment the slash landed, Shirou clearly did not feel the reality of having successfully defeated his opponent.

Indeed, that is true.

Although Atofi's body was cleaved into pieces, the shattered pieces of flesh began to wriggle and return to Atofi's body, sticking to her arm.

Then, in the blink of an eye, it returned to its original state.

Undead demon clan.

That is true immortality.

Ordinary physical attacks are obviously ineffective against it.

This thought flashed through Shirou's mind.

Meanwhile, on Atofi's side, a massive wave had already surged forth. The Demon King's expression was extremely excited, even bordering on ecstatic. He laughed loudly and exclaimed, "Interesting! Your power is too interesting! A guy like you is more worthy of my personal guard! I've decided, Emiya, I will definitely bring you under my command and make you my subordinate!"

Chapter 199 Holy Sword Unleashed VS Absolute Slash of the Northern God Stream!

Atofi recovered quickly from his injuries and swiftly resumed his stance, raising his greatsword abruptly into a high-level stance.

Shirou clearly showed a nervous expression upon hearing this.

The Demon King's immortality far exceeded his expectations.

Shirou never expected that his opponent would possess such an exaggerated recovery ability and speed.

He originally thought that after killing the Demon King, the opponent would be somewhat restricted or even become weaker. However, he did not expect that the opponent would recover almost instantly. In just a few seconds, the opponent had completely recovered from the injury, as if nothing had happened.

This regenerative ability is comparable to that of the Heroic Spirit Hercules; the extremely fast healing speed is more like a reversal of time than a restoration.

Of course, Shirou also knew that there was no such thing as absolute regeneration in this world.

If someone possessed the power to freely heal from any injury, they would not only be invincible, but they would also be impossible to confine to such a small place as the Demon Continent.

The immortal demon king Atofi definitely has a weakness that belongs to his opponent.

That could be due to the severity of the fatal injury. For example, if Shirou's Crane Wing Triple Strike had been powerful enough, it could have instantly killed the opponent, leaving them unable to even revive. It could also be due to the number of kills required, similar to the Twelve Trials of the Heroic Spirit Hercules. If enough kills are performed, the possibility of revival can be eliminated.

Of course, regardless of the possibility, it doesn't change the fact that Shirou is currently facing a formidable enemy who is virtually invincible.

After all, Atofi's normal combat ability is comparable to his Heroic Spirit form, not to mention that the opponent also has a near-immortal regeneration ability.

Without using any special power, under normal circumstances, Shirou doesn't think he has any chance of defeating his opponent.

"..."

While Shirou fell silent, contemplating tactics, Rigel, who was tied to a pillar in the distance, was gradually awakened by the commotion of the battle and awoke from his unconsciousness.

He immediately figured out his location and realized that he had been captured by the Demon King of the Demon Continent.

He also began to speculate about his possible fate.

After all, the Spelud are hated by all races and creatures.

Even the Demon King of the Demon Race would most likely end up executing a Spelud who has committed numerous evils.

At this moment, although Rigelrude regrets that his life is about to end, he is not completely unprepared for this ending. When he came to save Shirou and the others, he had already prepared to face death. However, Rigelrude still regrets that he did not tell Shirou and Alice more about the knowledge of the Demon Continent, and help them solve the many difficulties they might encounter on their journey, so that they would have a better chance of returning home.

Just as Rajirud was bracing himself for death, the battle raging in the distance caught his attention.

The battle between Shirou and Atofi was incredibly loud.

The two were not only extremely fast, but each collision could be described as creating a storm.

With the special insight granted by the red gem on the forehead of the Spelud race, Rijerud clearly sensed the course of the battle.

It can be said that even Rachel Rudd was deeply shocked by such a fierce battle, never expecting that someone could actually compete with the mighty Undying Demon King.

He didn't recognize Shirou.

After all, under the summoning of the dream, Shirou's appearance has changed drastically, and even his physique is completely different from before, including some changes on the soul level.

Therefore, it is impossible for anyone to make contact between Shirou's Heroic Spirit form and his true form.

But precisely because of this, Rijrud couldn't imagine why such a master would be fighting the immortal demon king Atofi here.

He had no idea that Shirou might have come to rescue him; he simply watched the battle unfold in bewilderment.

"..."

On the other side, when Shirou sensed Atofi's movements, a chill suddenly ran down his spine.

He felt that although Atofi still took the same actions as before, the aura emanating from him had suddenly become completely different.

In his Heroic Spirit form, Shirou's abilities in all aspects are greatly enhanced.

Therefore, he found it hard to imagine that anyone could instantly defeat him in this form, or at least be able to defend against the opponent's attacks.

However, in his Heroic Spirit form, Shirou's Mind's Eye ability was greatly amplified and strengthened, allowing him to even feel a clear sense of crisis and deduce some possible outcomes.

At this moment, Mind's Eye sensed that Atofi was preparing an extremely terrifying power, and if he wasn't fully prepared, he might be defeated instantly!

Although it was something hard to imagine and incomprehensible how it could happen, Shirou always had unwavering trust in his intuition.

"!!!"

In an instant, Shirou had no other thoughts. He immediately began to gather magical power, unfold a new projection, and accelerate his speed as much as possible to project a brand new Noble Phantasm.

However, he soon realized that he might not be fast enough to project his Noble Phantasm.
