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

It was capable of launching attacks from nine directions simultaneously, and each strike was as destructive as a pseudo-spiral sword after the collapse of fantasy. It was the pinnacle of the personal martial arts of the great Greek hero Hercules!

However, the moment Shirou swung his weapon, Orsteed had already seen through his movements and tried to create distance at an extremely fast speed, attempting to position himself further out of the attack range of the axe sword.

Shirou paid no attention to Orsteed's actions. He simply continued to slash at the hundred heads as always, but at the moment of attack, he concentrated all his fighting spirit into his weapon.

The ultimate goal of the Sword God style is absolute slashing, capable of striking even where the sword cannot reach.

The former Shirou Emiya could not do this.

But now, Shirou, having mastered the Sword God Style, is able to perform attacks that defy common sense.

Faced with Orsteed's attempt to create distance to ensure his safety, Shirou swung his sword as usual, unleashing nine powerful sword energies from nine different directions in the blink of an eye. These energies even linked together to create greater destructive power.

With his first sword strike, Shirou severed the Achilles tendon of the Dragon God Orsteed, causing the Dragon God to lose his balance and reveal an opening.

With his second strike, Shirou hit Ryujin's wrist, rendering him unable to block or counterattack.

With his third strike, Shirou pierced the Dragon God's heart, using the immense impact to knock him to the ground.

The fourth sword, the fifth sword, the sixth sword...

Every sword strike from Shirou was executed with the utmost skill, aimed at Orsteed's vital points.

Although this attack, which once easily killed the Crimson Dragon, could not even penetrate Orsteed's body now, only causing some damage, the nine incredibly powerful slashes that erupted at the same time were still impossible for him to withstand, and even briefly left him in a vulnerable state.

Shirou's final sword strike was originally intended to pierce the Dragon God's head directly.

However, the latter dodged the attack with an extremely precise movement, causing Shirou's fully unleashed sword strike to only hit the Dragon God's neck.

Even so, the sword didn't even penetrate the Dragon God's skin, only causing a few scratches and bleeding.

However, the overwhelming impact caused the Dragon God Orsteed to briefly fall into a state of shock and disorientation, unable to react for a short period of time.

Shirou's original goal wasn't to kill Orsteed at this moment, but to seize this opportunity to distract Orsteed and unleash his true killing move—

"(Enduring the pain of contradictory weapons)"

"(My hands will never be empty)"

"(However, only nothingness remained.)"

"(Therefore, as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works.)"

The incantation for Unlimited Blade Works occurs at the fastest speed.

Shirou's chanting speed seemed to have increased significantly, and his tone also changed to a deeper level.

After doing all this, Shirou raised his hand.

The dazzling flames suddenly swept everything, but instead of expanding, they completely enveloped only the dragon god Orsteed.

"Snapped!"

The completed Unlimited Blade Works did not engulf everything as it had in the past, but instead devoured only Alster.

This is also a use of inherent boundaries, which can confine a limited object within them.

However, doing so carries an extremely heavy burden, and there is also the risk of severe backlash if the inherent barrier is damaged from the inside.

But Shirou doesn't seem to be thinking that much right now.

Or rather, he no longer wants to think about it.

"call……"

After devouring the Dragon God with Unlimited Blade Works, he dragged his exhausted and even shattered body to his feet and walked forward.

The black-haired girl wearing a white mask was startled by Shirou's actions and showed obvious fear.

After all, the reason why Alster attacked Shirou was essentially because she accidentally mentioned it to Alster, which directly triggered this amazing fight.

If Shirou wants to take revenge on her now, it would be perfectly reasonable.

However, to the black-haired girl's surprise, Shirou had no intention of attacking her.

Even though the other party could easily crush him to death, Shirou did not do anything to harm her. Instead, he picked up Rigel from the ground, hugged the dying Alice on the other side, and left without looking back.

The black-haired girl who witnessed this scene felt conflicted and didn't know what to say.

She stood there for a long time, and then realized that Alsteed had somehow emerged from a void.

The silver-haired man remained silent.

He seemed to have witnessed something extremely shocking, and was so astonished that he didn't even realize he had returned to the real world.

"Olsteed?"

It wasn't until the black-haired girl asked a question that the dragon god regained his attention, silently gazing at his surroundings.

"They're all gone?"

"Ah."

The Dragon God showed a knowing expression upon hearing the black-haired girl's response.

He glanced in the direction Shirou had left, as if still savoring the astonishing scene he had witnessed after being pulled into the Reality Marble.

Because it was so exaggerated, he even began to think that the other party might not be an apostle of a god.

After all, even gods and humans would find it difficult to construct a domain forged in blood and fire.

It's hard to imagine that an being capable of creating such a world could be deceived by gods or humans.

But this thought only flashed through Auersted's mind for a moment.

He quickly dismissed this overly optimistic idea.

Based on his experience, being bewitched by gods and humans is something beyond one's control. Even the most determined person is highly likely to be lured by gods and humans and become their puppet.

Anyone who has come into contact with the existence of gods and humans, and is classified as an apostle of gods and humans, must be killed!

Alsted has lived to this day with this belief.

"Next time we meet, I will definitely kill you."

Alsted spoke silently, then calmly walked away with the black-haired girl.

Seeing this, the black-haired girl wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to start. She could only look back at the direction Shirou had left in, and finally followed Alster with mixed feelings.

……

Shirou dragged Rigel and Alice along as they ran, escaping the red dragon's jaws.

His body bled and collapsed continuously during the process, until finally he could no longer maintain the form of a heroic spirit, reverted to his original appearance, and collapsed to the ground.

Alice, the only one still conscious, was frantic, but because she was not good at healing magic, she could only drag Shirou and Rigel to a safe cave to hide.

During the process, Shirou fell into a deep coma, and he found himself back on the sword mound, where he saw the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

"Thank you this time."

Looking at the white-haired, red-clad man standing alone atop the sword hill, leaving only his back to the viewer, Shirou expressed his gratitude.

Why do you do that?

The reason he was able to defeat the Dragon God and save Rigel and Iris in such an extreme state during the final battle was because of the brief possession of the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

Yes, the being that projected at the last moment, who shot down a hundred heads and even trapped the Dragon God with Unlimited Blade Works, was not Shirou himself, but the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

Emiya's brief possession allowed Shirou to trigger the special skill of Battle Continuation, and also enabled him to utilize Projection Technique and Unlimited Blade Works faster than Shirou himself.

On the path of projection, Emiya went further than Shirou.

"You shouldn't be grateful to me, but rather you should surpass me."

The Heroic Spirit Emiya spoke calmly, "Didn't you say you wanted to become stronger, to become someone stronger than me?"

"..."

Shirou fell silent in response to Emiya's attitude.

He didn't expect the other person to say such a thing, but he quickly understood why the other person had said these words to him.

He nodded and replied, "I may not be good enough now, but I will try."

"Okay, then go ahead, go surpass me, and then surpass that Dragon God."

An expectant look appeared in Emiya's eyes.

He didn't say anything more after that, and just quietly left.

Shirou thought he would regain consciousness, but to his surprise, he found himself in a white space the next second.

The figure of the god reappeared before him.

"Hey, are you alright?"

The situation between the god and the human appeared as before, and the god spoke with a hint of sarcasm, "I didn't expect you to get beaten up so badly."

Shirou remained indifferent to the gloating of the gods and humans, and spoke directly:

"Let me leave."

"Uh, don't you want to ask me anything?"

The god seemed to have not expected Shirou to react this way, and he showed a miserable expression, like a stray dog ​​that had been rejected.

Shirou remained silent on the matter.

Although he had always told this guy called "God" to get lost whenever he saw him before, this time the situation was too special for him to say that.

After all, the Dragon God suddenly attacked him as soon as he heard that he knew a human god.

This time, I was inexplicably made a fool of myself by taking the blame for someone else.

It would be unreasonable not to seek some compensation from the other party.

Shirou sighed and said, "Tell me about the Dragon God. You should know about that guy, right?"

Chapter 258 Shirou is going to become an apostle of God and Man?

"Huh? You actually encountered Alsteed?"

The god looked surprised when he heard Shirou's words.

This attitude puzzled Shirou, who asked incomprehension, "What? You don't know about my encounter with the Dragon God? Can't you see what's happening to me?"

"Well, I know most things, but Orstide is the only exception."

"Is Alsteid an exception?"

"Yes, I can't see most of the things about the Dragon God, neither in the future nor in the present, so I didn't know you would run into that guy."

"..."

Upon hearing the words of the gods and humans, Shirou asked in confusion, "Why is it that only the Dragon God cannot see them?"

"Because that guy is under a curse that causes this."

"Is this a curse?"

"Hmm, don't you have children like that in your world? Children born with abnormal magical abilities, who possess some kind of strange power."

The words of the god reminded Shirou of Miyu.

According to the other party, Miyu might also be under some kind of curse, but Shirou ultimately couldn't know the specifics.

He decided to trust the other party for the time being and said:

"The situation is roughly the same."

"Right, in that case you should be able to understand easily. Here, such beings are called cursed ones because they are born with special characteristics that lead to strange troubles. As far as I know, Orsteed has as many as three or four curses on him, and they are all bizarre curses."

The god spoke with a grin, seemingly pleased with Shirou's cooperative attitude. He became unusually talkative, saying, "By the way, the opposite of the cursed ones are the divine ones. They possess meaningful abilities and have different special effects. You should have encountered them before."

"That's it."

Shirou has encountered two divine children so far: one is the divine child of the Holy Kingdom of Milis, and the other is the divine child of the Kingdom of Shilon, Zanova.

The Holy Son of Milis is unaware of his true nature, but Zanoba possesses superhuman strength surpassing that of the immortal demon king Atofi.

"In fact, the existence of divine children and cursed children is the same concept. They are both people with special magical powers, but humans like to view them separately."

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me about the Dragon God."

Regarding Shirou's attitude, the god smiled and said, "Oh dear, don't rush things. The topic always needs to be developed slowly. In short, the Dragon God is burdened with a special curse that makes all creatures in this world fear him. You should have noticed that the people around you have completely different attitudes towards him."

"This……"
