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

Shirou knew he couldn't gain trust immediately, so he pulled out Avalon.

The magic stone inside the scabbard had already been completely used up by Alice, and now only a little bit of magic power remained, so Shirou simply used it all up as well.

Under the warm light, the injuries on the orc children were immediately relieved.

"Thank you... sob... for saving us..."

A girl with dog ears shyly covered herself while thanking him.

Shirou sensed the children's shame and, after thinking for a moment, simply used projection magic to project several cloaks onto them.

"Is this magic?"

"That's it."

Shirou didn't explain the projection magic in much detail. He simply untied all the children and asked them if anyone else was still locked up there.

In response, a beast-girl with cat ears suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Holy Beast Master, we must go save the Holy Beast Master, meow!!"

"Meow? A sacred beast?"

Putting aside the other person's peculiar verbal tic, Shirou realized that there were other important people imprisoned here, who might be the ones Giles wanted him to rescue.

Chapter 210 Misunderstanding and Hostility? Shirou Instantly Defeats the Beastman Rescue Team!

Shirou was undoubtedly quite interested in the sacred beast the beast girl spoke of, but when he tried to get more information from her, she stammered and couldn't say anything.

Shirou realized that the matter concerning the sacred beasts might be some kind of secret within the beast race, and that he, as an outsider, shouldn't inquire about it casually.

So he settled for second best and began asking about the children's condition.

Why were you brought here?

"Meow?"

Shirou asked the cat-eared girl a question. He chose her because she was clearly the bravest of all the children present.

The reason for this judgment is that she was the only one of the seven children whose face did not show any signs of crying, but on the contrary, she had bruises and fractures on her body.

Upon hearing Shirou's question, the cat-eared girl hesitated before answering, "We were playing in the forest when we were suddenly grabbed by a strange man, meow!"

"..."

Shirou has tried his best to adapt to the girl's peculiar verbal tic.

After casually ignoring it, he replied, "So, you were all forcibly brought here?"

Shirou's words elicited nods of agreement from all the beast children.

This further convinced Shirou that these smuggling gangs deserved to die.

If he hadn't known that Ridge Rudd would be absolutely ruthless, he might have even gone over to help finish him off.

As Shirou was talking to the children, Rigel walked in from outside. He had shaved off all his newly grown hair and covered up the ruby ​​on his forehead.

Even so, Rijrud's overly fierce appearance still frightened many of the orc children.

Shirou tried his best to appease him and spoke with Rigdl.

"Is it over? Have any other people who were arrested been found?"

"No."

"No?"

"Hmm, I didn't detect any human traces."

Upon hearing Rigel's words, Shirou realized that the sacred beast was probably not human, but he couldn't figure out what it could be. So he asked Rigel to look after the children while he went to search for the sacred beast.

Once outside, Shirou realized just how ruthless Rigel's methods were.

The house was surrounded by corpses.

Everyone was killed instantly by a blow to the heart and throat.

Even Shirou admired Rigel's skillful killing techniques. Shirou himself was no match for him. Perhaps only the Heroic Spirit Emiya could be compared to him, or even far surpass him.

After all, the number of people Emiya has killed is probably more than Rigel's entire life combined.

Fearing the smell of the corpses would attract monsters, Shirou instructed Rigel to move the children out as soon as possible, while he sped up the search for the whereabouts of the sacred beast.

Even after searching the entire mansion, Shirou couldn't find the sacred beast.

He began to doubt whether such a thing really existed, or perhaps it was just a lie told by children.

Moreover, those things in this world that are named after saints or gods are often not simple things, such as the God of Swords, the God of the North, the God of Water, the God of Mines, and even that annoying human god.

In short, if sacred beasts really exist, it's hard to imagine that beings of that level would be kidnapped by a group of smugglers.

The child must have made a mistake.

As Shirou was thinking this, he passed by a room and suddenly sensed a clear flow of magical energy in the walls of the room.

After examining the wall, he discovered that it indeed had a hidden layer.

After finding a way to break through, Shirou discovered a magic circle emitting a faint light. In the center of the magic circle, a large animal chained with iron chains lay on the floor.

Although the light was dim, Shirou could still make out the animal's physical characteristics; it seemed to be a large white dog, but he couldn't tell the breed.

Shirou dared not underestimate this seemingly normal creature, for it was bound by both magic circles and chains, a level of control even stricter than that of the Spelud tribe's Rijerud, demonstrating the smuggling gang's seriousness.

Could this thing be a sacred beast?

As Shirou hesitated, the large white dog stared at him with a suspicious look. It didn't make any unnecessary movements, neither wagging its tail nor barking, but just lay listlessly on the ground.

Are you so hungry you have no energy?

Shirou looked at the large white dog and thought about releasing it, but found that the magic circle's protection was extremely strong, and ordinary people could not get close at all.

Shirou was pleasantly surprised by this.

Because he discovered that this magic circle was actually a self-charging structure, a semi-permanent structure built through internal circulation without the need for external magic stones to replenish it!

If Shirou can figure out this magic circle, he might be able to create a self-charging barrier that doesn't need to be replenished with magic stones!

This was incredibly fortunate for him to create the true scabbard, Avalon!

He had thought he would need to go to the Adventurers' Guild headquarters to find clues, but he never expected to find something similar in the Holy Kingdom of Milis.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. The Holy Kingdom of Milis is the capital of priests, and priests are most skilled at using various barrier magic, so it's natural that they would research self-charging magic arrays.

Without thinking twice, Shirou simply lay down next to the magic circle to observe it firsthand.

After observing for a while, Shirou was disappointed to find that even this magic circle was not truly self-charging. Its magic power came from a lantern in the second-floor room, with a magic crystal in the center of the lantern.

Although magic crystals have several times more magic capacity than magic stones, they are not true self-charging magic.

However, Shirou did not come away empty-handed.

With this magic crystal, Shirou could replace the magic stone in Avalon with the magic crystal if he had the means, thus allowing Avalon, which had lost its magic, to continue functioning.

Incidentally, after Shirou took the magic crystal, the magic circle that had trapped the white dog also disappeared on the spot.

"Ugh...!"

The big white dog seems very intelligent.

Seeing Shirou break the magic circle, it immediately realized that the boy in front of it was not a threat to it, and its original wary expression suddenly disappeared.

However, because it was bound by chains, it was unable to stand up.

"Enhance magic, reverse engineering."

Shirou has also studied enhancement magic over the years.

He discovered that by reversing the operation of enhancement magic, a deterioration effect could be achieved. Although this was difficult to use in actual combat, it had a special effect in such situations.

Under the effect of the deterioration magic, the iron chain around the dog's neck suddenly became very fragile and fell off with a gentle touch.

After the chains were removed, the dog immediately became more energetic. It excitedly rushed to Shirou's side and kept rubbing against his legs, as if it was trying to show some kind of affection.

"This……"

Shirou became increasingly suspicious of the dog's behavior, wondering if it was some kind of sacred beast.

If it's just a regular pet, wouldn't it be enough to simply return it to its original owner?

As Shirou was thinking this, he suddenly felt an extremely dangerous sensation through his mind's eye.

"What are you doing to the Holy Beast?!"

"!!!"

The moment a sound came, Shirou, aided by his Mind's Eye, instinctively dodged to the right, avoiding an arrow flying from a distance.

The arrow was sharp and pointed, and if Shirou hadn't been careful, he would have been pierced by it in an instant!

Shirou was undoubtedly very nervous about this attack that threatened his life. He thought it was a smuggler who had escaped the net, and immediately drew his katana from his waist. However, he soon realized that he seemed to have made a mistake.

The creature that appeared before him was not human, but a middle-aged orc with chocolate-colored skin, animal-like ears, and a tiger-like tail.

He bears a strange resemblance to Gilead.

However, despite their similarities, there are also many obvious differences.

Most importantly, it's a man.

"A beastman?"

Shirou quickly realized that it must be the beastmen who had come to rescue them.

While this is a good thing, the timing is terrible.

Shirou and his companions had just rescued the beastmen children and hadn't even had time to clean up the scene when they encountered the beastmen's rescue team. This could easily lead the latter to mistake them for members of the kidnappers.

Moreover, this orc man launched an attack without any explanation, which is quite illogical!

Most importantly, isn't all of this a bit too much of a coincidence?

As countless thoughts raced through Shirou's mind and he realized he might have fallen into a trap, the beastmen in the distance had already assembled their forces and begun their attack.

"Woohoohoohoohoohoohoohoohoohoohoo!"

It first opens its mouth and emits an overwhelming volume, which is not a simple roar, but a kind of ultrasonic power that directly impacts the periosteum and brain.

The moment Shirou heard that sound, he felt as if he almost lost weight.

Fortunately, his sword saint-level physique was strong enough to barely support the pillar and prevent him from falling.

Seeing Shirou holding his ground, the beastmen in the distance became even more suspicious that he was some powerful enemy, and gathered a large group of beastmen to surround him.

Faced with this situation, Shirou knew he had no chance of holding back, so he could only draw his demon sword, Windbreaker, turn the blade around, and launch a counterattack with the back of the sword.

Now that he knew they might have fallen for some kind of trick, Shirou realized that the beastmen were not villains, but had simply been deceived by someone.

If he kills the beastmen now, it will be tantamount to making a permanent feud with the beastmen, a fight to the death.

That would be tantamount to completely fulfilling the wishes of the designer behind it all.

Shirou would never do something so foolish.

However, he couldn't just surrender here.

In that case, there is only one way to do it: war!

"You started this, so don't complain later."

As soon as Shirou drew his longsword, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted.

Before the beastman could even react, an astonishing sword light, like a crescent moon, rushed towards him.

And in the blink of an eye, all the male beastmen fell to the ground.

The orc man found this scene hard to believe, but he had seen similar sights before, or rather, he had witnessed a similar ability in a human long, long ago.

That man's name is Galfarion!

According to the human race, he also has another name: Sword God!

Chapter 211 I apologize for misunderstanding your behavior before, Lord Shirou!

Faced with the encirclement of the beastman rescue force, Shirou had no choice but to fight, and with the skill of the Blade of Light, he almost instantly killed all his opponents.

This is only natural, after all, Shirou is a great sword saint, and his Light Blade technique is incomparable to that of opponents of different levels.

As the ultimate technique of the Sword God style, the Light Katana is like a special skill that can instantly kill the opponent.

When they do act, they always achieve astonishing results.
