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

While Shirou hesitated, Badigandi silently scrutinized him, muttering, "Well, although my fiancée praises you highly, believing that you have strength comparable to a Demon King, or even surpassing all current Demon Kings, I really can't see it."

"I don't think I have that ability myself."

Shirou was not belittling himself.

If he were in the form of the Heroic Spirit Emiya, he might be confident in defeating the Demon King before him, but whether he could defeat the Demon King in his true form was truly an unknown.

"Haha, don't worry, you definitely have that ability. After all, my fiancée possesses all the demonic eyes, so she can see through everything in the world, whether it's true or false. She said you've surpassed all the demon kings, so it must be true!"

"Is it?"

"However, Chishilica can be quite careless sometimes, so it's possible she made a mistake or something."

"..."

Shirou really didn't know what to say, so he could only silently grip the long sword hanging at his waist.

"Huh? You're using a knife, not a sword?"

Badigandi was quite surprised, "Among human martial arts, swordsmanship is the strongest, isn't it?"

"Well, this can also be considered a type of swordsmanship."

"Oh, it's the Kitakami-ryu school. I know, I know, it's the school my brother-in-law founded."

Badigandi laughed heartily.

But the smile vanished in an instant, replaced by a terrifying pressure befitting the name of a demon king.

"Then, let's start fighting!"

As he spoke, Badigandi unleashed his fighting spirit.

The solid fighting spirit was almost visible to the naked eye, and its terrifying power was something Shirou had never seen in his entire life.

At least the strongest humans cannot possess such fighting spirit.

Of all the powerful figures Shirou has encountered so far, only the Immortal Demon King Atofi and the Dragon God possess a massive fighting spirit comparable to this quality!

Chapter 309 Noble Phantasm Activated, the Indestructible Extreme Spear!

As a demon king, Badigandi possesses an extremely exaggerated fighting spirit.

However, simply having strong fighting spirit does not necessarily mean being physically strong.

Just like the immortal demon king Atofi, the strength of her battle aura definitely surpasses that of the human water god and sword god, and her protective battle aura is enough to withstand any attack.

However, if Atofi were to fight against the Water God and the Sword God, the latter two would most likely be the victors.

Because the outcome of a battle cannot be determined solely by fighting spirit.

Even excessively powerful fighting spirit can sometimes become a weakness.

Because strong external forces can cause people to lose their will to train their skills, resulting in having a strong physique but lacking the corresponding martial arts skills.

This is why beings like the Dragon God and the Undying Demon King, unless absolutely necessary, will not use the power of battle qi and will fight purely based on their physical strength.

But Badigandi seemed to have no such taboos; he directly displayed an exaggerated physique, covering his entire body with demon-level battle aura.

"Alright, I grant you permission to launch the attack first."

Because of the verbal agreement they had just made, Badigandi let Shirou launch the first attack against him.

Shirou didn't hesitate much. He gripped his long sword and performed the standard starting move of the Kitakami-ryu style: the Twenty Slash.

But to his surprise, when he focused intently on the Badigandi in front of him, he suddenly felt a strange sensation, as if the Badigandi in his vision was being distorted in a bizarre way.

He couldn't understand the reason for this distortion at first, but after careful consideration, he found the answer.

That is, he can see the presence of Badigandi with one eye, but cannot see it at all with the other eye.

At first, Shirou thought it was his imagination, but upon closer inspection, he found that it was indeed true. And, perhaps coincidentally, it was his own Mystic Eye that couldn't see Badgundy.

Could it be that there's something wrong with the Mystic Eyes that Chihirika gave herself?

Just as Shirou had this question in his mind, Badigandi spoke first, "What are you surprised about... Oh, I remember now, the Mystic Eyes that Chihirika gave you are Clairvoyance. These eyes are great in every way, the only side effect is that they can be activated at any time, so it can be very troublesome if you encounter someone who is immune to Mystic Eyes. Unfortunately, I am one of those people who are immune to Mystic Eyes."

"I see……"

I never imagined that there would be individuals in this world who are immune to the magic eye.

Shirou did not doubt Badigandi's words and quickly adjusted his state.

Although the Clairvoyant couldn't see Badigandi, fortunately, for a long time after obtaining the Clairvoyant, Shirou wore an eyepatch on one eye to prevent the Mystic Eye from going berserk.

Therefore, he had long been accustomed to fighting with only one eye.

He didn't close his Demon Eye, but instead gave up using its function and focused his gaze on Badigandi with his pure eyes, making movements and launching slashes with ease.

"Twenty cuts!"

As the only powerful offensive move in the Hokushin-ryu style, the Twenty Slash is almost as fast as the Light Blade, but its only advantage is speed; its power is far inferior to the Light Blade.

Shirou's purpose in launching this attack was not to defeat Badigandi, but to test just how exaggerated the opponent's protective fighting spirit really was.

The result naturally surprised him.

His full-force Twenty Slashes not only failed to break through the battle aura, but didn't even create a ripple; he was simply bounced away!

"Hmm, your movements and strength are quite good. In human terms, you could be considered a Northern Saint, but that alone is not enough to defeat the Demon King."

Badigandi rubbed his shoulder nonchalantly, as if he had just been bitten by a mosquito. "This won't do. This Demon King doesn't want to be accused of bullying the weak. Show me your full power!"

As he spoke, Badigandi charged straight at Shirou.

As an immortal demon king, the oppressive force emanating from him should not be underestimated.

Even a simple fist contains the power to pierce through terrifying monsters.

Faced with such an attack, the old Shirou might have relied on the high mobility of the Sword God Style to dodge, nimbly avoiding the opponent's attack and launching a damage-free attack.

But now, Shirou always wears the armor given to him by the Sword God, and performs swordsmanship skills while wearing shackles.

So he wasn't confident he could completely dodge the Demon King's punch, and instead chose to take it head-on!

"Boom!"

The Demon King's iron fist struck Shirou, but it didn't cause much of a commotion.

Shirou calmly took the attack, then turned and slashed at Badigandi with his sword, posing no threat whatsoever.

The two went back and forth, scraping each other's skin dozens of times before finally stopping.

Badigandi laughed and said, "It's been a long time since I've encountered such a straightforward opponent. Although you're relying on the power of your armor, it's truly admirable that you can go toe-to-toe with me, Badigandi!"

"..."

Shirou didn't care that the armor's advantages had been seen through.

Beneath the armor given to him by the Sword God, he was wearing the Blood Armor of the Evil Dragon.

Relying on the ultimate defensive power brought by the Evil Dragon Blood Armor, Shirou was able to easily withstand Badigandi's attacks, and even used the Water God Style technique to counterattack, but still could not break through the defense.

That's how abnormal the battle aura of a demon king is.

If the offensive capability is not strong enough, there is absolutely no way to break through.

Among Shirou's current methods, without relying on the power of his Noble Phantasm and relying solely on his own skills, perhaps only the Sword God Style's Light Blade can achieve this.

However, the Blade of Light is now sealed, so we must find another way.

"..."

Thinking of this, Shirou decisively changed his approach and took out a long spear from behind him.

Just now, when Badigandi attacked, he specifically asked Juliet to go back to the forge and bring out all the weapons he had forged.

The spear in his hand was not one he had casually acquired during his time as an adventurer, but a treasure he had specially forged during this period to serve as his primary weapon—an indestructible ultimate spear.

The so-called indestructible ultimate spear is a Noble Phantasm that corresponds to another Noble Phantasm, the indestructible ultimate saint.

According to legend, the indestructible ultimate weapon was transformed into a sword after the indestructible ultimate spear was lost.

In other words, the indestructible Extreme Gun is the original true form.

Its real name is also Durandal, but its effect is more aggressive than the sword Durandal.

As Hector's Noble Phantasm, the indestructible Lance possesses the ability to pierce through anything. As a weapon, whether thrust out or thrown, it can unleash astonishing destructive power, causing massive damage to the enemy.

Having the experience of forging the indestructible Extreme Saint, Shirou's forging of the indestructible Extreme Spear went extremely smoothly, and he completed the weapon forging very easily.

The effect is almost identical to the original version.

Shirou merely fiddled with it casually during the trial, yet the astonishing destructive power it unleashed was enough to pierce through ordinary magic circle barriers.

The reason for this is that the indestructible Extreme Spear, as Hector's weapon, is characterized by its extreme destructive power against cities. When used to destroy highly defensive city walls, it can unleash power comparable to higher-level weapons.

Within a defensive barrier, only a treasure of the level of the Sevenfold Heavenly Ring could possibly withstand the attack of the indestructible Extreme Spear head-on.

Shirou now gripped the spear with the same movements as Hokushin-ryu, instantly radiating an oppressive force akin to a Heroic Spirit activating a Noble Phantasm.

Even the immortal demon king Badigandi couldn't help but show a serious expression upon seeing this scene, and his previously perfunctory actions began to become earnest.

"Be careful."

"Well, come on!"

Seeing that Badigandi had already taken a defensive stance, Shirou didn't say anything more.

He simply used the most unadorned movements to perform one of the most common techniques among the many skills of the Kitakami-ryu school—throwing techniques.

The Kitakami-ryu school has a variety of methods, and throwing one's weapon is one of them.

This, combined with the indestructible Extreme Gun, a throwing weapon, is an extremely suitable match.

This is also one of the reasons why Shirou forged this weapon as his sidearm.

"Snapped!"

Right now, Shirou has taken out the indestructible Supreme Saint and, after aiming it at the location of Badrigand, decisively unleashed the power of the Noble Phantasm.

"Target confirmed, bearing and angle fixed! Indestructible Extreme Gun!"

In an instant, Shirou's spear shot straight toward Badigandi like a meteor!

The ultimate magical power unleashed a dazzling light. Shirou brought the secrets of the Northern God Style to their fullest potential. Combined with the weapon's exaggerated characteristics, the power of this attack was absolutely no less than that of a Noble Phantasm comparable to the Pseudo-Spiral Sword or the Sword of Victory!

"Boom!"

As the spear reached the Demon King, Shirou's spear pierced through the fighting spirit covering Badigandi's entire body almost instantly, cutting through his body like tofu, and penetrating his chest!

With just this one strike, Badigandi was completely hit.

And with a loud bang, his entire upper body was instantly shattered into pieces.

Upon seeing this, Shirou froze, wondering if he had gone too far.

After all, this strike was the strongest killing move he had been developing during this period of time, and its offensive power was already in the top tier among all his current methods.

If this shot can't finish off his opponent, he probably won't be able to find a more lethal way to attack.

But precisely because of this, Shirou seems to have overestimated the Demon King's defensive capabilities, and there was no need to use such a deadly move right from the start.

Thinking about it carefully, even the immortal demon king Atofi, who was known as the strongest demon king, couldn't catch the invincible golden sword that Atofi swung with all his might.

While it's true that the Noble Phantasm is more powerful in the form of the Heroic Spirit Emiya, it also shows that the so-called Immortal Demon King's defense is not as terrifying as imagined, at least not as exaggerated as the Dragon God.

Shirou had always regarded the Dragon God as his opponent, and unknowingly forgot that apart from the Dragon God, no one else in this world possessed such exaggerated overall strength.

Shirou was therefore very worried that he would kill Badigandi with a single shot.

Just as he was worrying, he discovered that the six-armed demon king quickly emerged from the smoke and reappeared in front of him.

Although the Demon King looked much weaker than before and his aura wasn't as strong, he was still standing in the same spot.

"Hahaha, that was a powerful blow! If I didn't possess a regenerative ability far superior to my sister's, I probably wouldn't have escaped this fate!"

"..."

Badigandi's performance surprised Shirou.

He never expected that his opponent would be so powerful as to withstand the indestructible power of the Supreme Saint and remain completely unharmed.

This regenerative ability can truly be described as abnormal.

For a moment, Shirou was truly stumped, not knowing how to truly defeat such an outrageous demon king!

"Although I have technically lost this match, I'm still somewhat unconvinced. So, let the battle continue!"
