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

The scene just now was reality; Alexander had only used the most insignificant power of that sword to easily dodge his deadly Crane Wing Triple Strike.

If Alexander were to actually draw the Dragon Sword, anyone could imagine the incredible power it would possess!

Chapter 334 Pseudo-Spiral Sword! Piercing Through the Northern God!

Alexander revealed the true power of the King Dragon Sword—gravity manipulation.

Throughout the battle, he consistently dodged Shirou's attacks with exaggerated evasive maneuvers, while simultaneously launching counterattacks from completely unexpected angles. Combined with Kitakami-ryu's already excellent versatility in handling different situations, Shirou's battle situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and he immediately found himself at a disadvantage.

Even when he used his most proficient swords, Gan Jiang and Mo Xie, and employed the defensive swordsmanship of the Heroic Spirit Emiya, it was still difficult for him to completely cope with the opponent's offensive.

After a few short exchanges, Shirou made a mistake and was caught by Alexander, who forcefully knocked him back with his sword energy, almost knocking him against the wall.

"Although your fighting style is interesting, the gap in strength is still too great."

Alexander waved his hand dismissively, seemingly having anticipated the outcome of the battle. "As a Sword King, you've already done quite well to force out the power of my King Dragon Sword. If you give up now, I won't have to do anything more to you."

"..."

Shirou paid no attention to Alexander's seemingly lenient remark.

He simply gazed silently in Alexander's direction and slowly said, "Do you think you've already won? I've figured out a bit about your ability to manipulate gravity."

"Heh, talking big won't change anything."

Alexander's expression gradually turned cold, as if he had lost interest in continuing the fight. He re-established his stance, then suddenly leaped from the ground and appeared behind Shirou in the blink of an eye.

Shirou had never been able to effectively counter this behavior that completely disregarded the laws of gravity.

Even if he discovers Alexander behind him and tries to block him with his twin swords, he will find that Alexander's position suddenly changes, making a movement as if he were moving horizontally in the air.

Since the starting and ending points of the sword are completely unpredictable, even the most skilled swordsman would find it difficult to completely catch Alexander's sword. Not to mention that Alexander himself is also a highly skilled Northern God. Even if you were to find a sword emperor-level swordsman to fight him, it would be difficult to say whether he could win.

As the seventh of the seven great powers, perhaps only the six powers ranked higher up in the hierarchy could truly defeat each other head-on.

However, all of this is based on direct combat, that is, fighting without using any abilities other than those of a swordsman.

Shirou's skill as a swordsman is only average. He is not a genius-level swordsman, so for him, winning a battle is not only about swordsmanship.

"Projection, start!"

Faced with Alexander, who was flying in mid-air and changing direction at will, Shirou realized that it was impossible to attack him with a sword at short distances, and it would be difficult to launch an effective counterattack if he simply defended.

If Shirou possessed the King-level Water God Style, he might be able to counter Alexander's exaggerated abilities, but he currently lacks that ability and cannot deflect Alexander's attacks.

Therefore, there is only one way for him to do it.

That is to turn the passive into the active. Even if the opponent has the ability to control gravity, he may still be able to knock the opponent down from the air!

"!!!"

As Shirou completed his projection, he projected several arrows.

Shirou also took out the longbow he was carrying on his back and quickly aimed and fired at Alexander's position.

Because Shirou's archery skills had reached an indescribable level, he was so fast that he could block all of Alexander's escape routes before Alexander even arrived, and his rapid-fire shots reached his opponent with exaggerated accuracy.

"Ding,"

"Ding," "Ding,"

Alexander seemed surprised that Shirou possessed such exaggerated archery skills, and had to use the scabbard on his back to deflect the incoming arrows.

This also reveals one of Alexander's weaknesses: his opponent's body is not as strong as that of a true demon, still retaining some of the vulnerabilities of a human.

This may be because Alexander only has one-quarter demon blood, which makes human characteristics more prominent in him.

Unlike the immortal demon king Atofi and the demon king Badigandi, the opponent did not possess extremely terrifying physical abilities.

It was precisely because of this that Shirou quickly seized Alexander's weakness, firing arrows with all his might, constantly blocking the opponent's retreat and forcing him to be unable to get close to him.

Of course, this approach wouldn't be able to completely defeat Alexander.

Shirou himself was well aware of this, so he not only kept shooting to prevent Alexander from getting close, but also gradually prepared to finish off his opponent.

"Projection, start!"

"Pseudo-Spiral Sword!"

As Shirou projected the arrows, he gradually accumulated power and unleashed the projection of the pseudo-spiral sword.

As his strongest ranged attack, Shirou mixed this deadly ability into ordinary arrows, aiming to take advantage of Alexander's accustomed shooting rhythm to make a wrong prediction.

If Shirou can hit his opponent with an arrow, Alexander will be severely injured given his physical abilities. Even if Alexander is still able to maintain his fighting state, he will not be able to exert his full strength. In that case, Shirou will have a greater chance of defeating his opponent.

"Snapped!"

As the magic power gathered further, Shirou completely locked onto Alexander's location, and the arrow in his hand, poised to be released, suddenly burst forth!

"Boom!"

Alexander seemed to have fallen completely into the trap.

The opponent had no idea that such a powerful pseudo-spiral sword would be mixed into an ordinary arrow. The moment the sword touched the latter, the violent fluctuations caused Alexander's expression to change slightly, and he unconsciously began to exert force to defend himself.

At the same time that the intense friction occurred, Shirou had already anticipated that Alexander might be able to catch the pseudo-spiral sword.

As the Northern God, and wielding the King Dragon Sword, even a pseudo-spiral sword that would be considered a sure-kill for an ordinary person wouldn't be able to defeat the opponent directly.

So, without the slightest hesitation after completing the action, Shirou drew the spear from his back almost immediately—the indestructible ultimate spear!

As a weapon that Shirou personally forged at the Magic University, he has become extremely familiar with its abilities through daily practice.

Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for him to unleash his Noble Phantasms in succession, especially since the projected Noble Phantasm is a powerful one like the Pseudo-Spiral Sword.

However, since the indestructible Extreme Spear is a forged weapon and not a projection, Shirou does not need to provide too much magical power; he only needs to fully activate the power of the Noble Phantasm.

"Target confirmed, bearing and angle fixed."

"The indestructible ultimate spear!"

Shirou poured all his power into his hand, and the attack he unleashed with all his might even gave the illusion of space itself being torn apart and shaking.

Not to mention that the moment the spear flew out, the spatial rift on a physical level almost actually appeared in front of everyone, charging towards Alexander with exaggerated power and momentum.

Due to the restriction of the pseudo-spiral sword in front, Alexander could no longer dodge the attack and could only forcefully take the double blow of the pseudo-spiral sword and the indestructible extreme spear. In addition, the physical exhaustion caused by Shirou's continuous shooting earlier caused the opponent's figure to be almost instantly swallowed up by the terrifying wave.

Of course, all of the above sounds exaggerated, but in reality, it all happened in an instant.

To others, Alexander was struck by a streak of light and his figure was quickly swallowed up, followed by a deafening roar that seemed to shake the entire labyrinth.

"boom!"

An astonishing cloud of smoke rose from the ground.

Everyone was stunned, staring at everything in the distance, still not quite understanding what had happened.

"Did Shirou win?"

Paul stared in disbelief at the scene before him. He was undoubtedly the most shocked person among everyone present. Although he had high expectations and trust in Shirou's strength, he still did not expect that the other party could be so exaggerated as to be able to defeat a Northern God head-on.

Moreover, the opponent was no ordinary Northern God; he was the seventh strongest among the seven great powers.

If Shirou can defeat his opponent head-on, wouldn't that mean Shirou has already qualified to be ranked among the top seven powers?

To have one's son be one of the Seven Great Powers... This was even more unbelievable to Paul than becoming a sword god himself; it was something he could never even dream of happening.

"Father, it would be better if you didn't make any promises."

Rudius immediately offered a reminder regarding Paul's words.

Although he also hoped that Alexander could be defeated in this way, he was even more aware of how terrifying the strength of a great power was, and that he was not an opponent that could be defeated so easily.

The people present had differing opinions on all of this.

However, their unified reaction was to look towards the area filled with smoke and dust, and many even secretly prayed that Shirou had already defeated Kitakami III.

However, what happened soon cast a shadow over everyone's expressions.

In that gloomy environment, the figure of a black-haired boy reappeared before everyone without their noticing.

Although not completely unharmed, the other party did not seem to have suffered too much damage; they just looked a bit disheveled, with almost no wounds on their body.

This scene immediately made Shirou frown.

He never thought that an attack of this magnitude could defeat his opponent, but he also never expected that Alexander would be completely unharmed after such a powerful blow from him.

This was a carefully planned series of attacks. He originally expected that even if Alexander used the Northern God Style swordsmanship to turn the tide, he would at least suffer some injuries, giving Shirou a chance to defeat his opponent next.

However, Alexander's performance completely disappointed him.

The opponent was not only completely unharmed, but also looked relaxed and at ease, as if he had not been affected in the slightest.

Of course, Alexander was not entirely unchanged; the biggest change was that the scabbard in his hand had been completely destroyed in the recent battle.

The greatsword in his hand was no longer sealed by its scabbard, but the strongest sword that fully displayed its sharpness, embodying the words "brilliant" and "splendid"!

"..."

After a moment of silence, Shirou spoke first: "Was that the power of the King Dragon Sword just now?"

"Did you figure it out?"

Alexander did not deny Shirou's words at all. "Oh my, I am really amazed. It is amazing that you can use so many different kinds of abilities. No wonder my father values ​​you so much. You should be the most suitable candidate in his mind to succeed the Northern God."

"He never intended for me to become the Northern God."

"Heh, that's just because he thinks the title of Northern God is just an empty name, and only the technology he has mastered is the most important. At least he has never had such expectations of me."

"If I had no expectations, I wouldn't have given you the name of the Northern God along with the Dragon King Sword, would I?"

"That's hard to say. Maybe he's just looking down on me?"

"It's never a good thing to doubt your own father..."

Shirou spoke up silently, but he didn't actually know what Kitakami II was thinking.

Moreover, those things have nothing to do with the current battle.

Recalling what Alexander had mentioned before, Wang Longjian's ability was gravity manipulation, and the fact that his opponent was able to block his attack must also be related to that ability.

Shirou had also fought against the Wanglong clan and had come into contact with the mysterious gravity magic.

Therefore, he immediately determined the source of Alexander's deflection of the attack—

"Was a shield created using gravity magic?"

"bingo."

Alexander smiled slightly, acknowledging his actions just now.

Moreover, seemingly because Wang Longjian had been completely drawn, his demeanor was no longer as relaxed and at ease as before; instead, he exuded an astonishing killing intent.

Alexander quickly spoke up: "Now that the King Dragon Sword has been drawn, it is regrettable that today's battle must have a winner, otherwise it will tarnish the glory of this king's sword."

"..."

Shirou did not respond to Alexander's words, but he could already feel a terrifying pressure emanating from him.

After the Dragon King Sword was fully drawn, Alexander seemed to have received a huge boost in his basic speed and strength, as well as his fighting spirit and magic.

Even a simple sword stance exudes immense power.

At least Shirou is no longer able to face his opponent in the same level of condition as before; if he makes a wrong move, he could die at any moment.

For a moment, he felt as if he had returned to the battle with the Dragon God Orsteed, and once again felt the pressure of being in a near-desperate situation.

But unlike then, Shirou is not without a chance to win now. In fact, everything he has done and struggled for over the years has been aimed at creating victory in this situation!

Chapter 335 To the utmost! Projection, Excalibur!

"boom!"

The moment the Wanglong sword was drawn, the oppressive force emanating from Alexander instantly reached an extremely exaggerated level.

Every move the opponent made exuded a pressure no less than that of a top-tier demon king. Combined with gravity magic and swordsmanship at the level of a Northern God, it was well-deserved that he ranked seventh among the seven great powers.

"Northern God Style Standard: Twenty Cuts!"

Alexander made the first move, using the classic Twenty Cuts.

But this was undoubtedly the most terrifying slash Shirou had ever seen.

With the enhancement of the Wanglong Sword, Alexander's sword strike reached an indescribable level of power and speed, even giving the illusion of an approaching storm.

"Ooooooh!"

When using the Dragon King Sword, Alexander became more reckless than before. His movements became even more chaotic, as if he were simply wielding brute force. However, the power unleashed by this pure brute force was still not to be underestimated.
