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

Besides Rudius and his son Paul, Lochsch and others also nodded, expressing their determination to fight side by side.

"..."

Seeing everyone's attitude, Shirou remained silent at first, then a warm feeling rose from his chest.

He realized that he had indeed been too reckless. If Rudius and Paul hadn't intervened in time, he would never have been able to complete the final projection.

With reliable companions right beside him, there was no need for him to keep going.

Now he can rely on the strength of his companions instead of bearing everything alone.

After all, he is no longer alone.

"Ok."

Shirou quickly adjusted his mindset and nodded firmly. "But in this battle, you can only provide support. Do not get close to the enemy. The power of that King Dragon Sword is beyond your ability to withstand! And if possible, I hope you can hold off Alexander for a while. The sword I'm creating is still a little short of completion!"

Upon hearing Shirou's words, everyone nodded, their faces showing joy.

Clearly, Shirou's willingness to involve them in this battle is something they are quite happy about.

Paul, in particular, was already beaming with anticipation, eager to demonstrate his dignity as a father.

Of course, Shirou couldn't let Paul participate in the direct confrontation. Although Paul's strength was now a true Saint-level, or even a quasi-King-level existence, compared to Alexander, the gap between them was still as vast as an ant and a tree, with no comparability whatsoever.

Ultimately, only Shirou was qualified to fight against Alexander.

Therefore, Shirou gripped the invisible weapon in his hand tightly, strode forward, and came straight to Alexander.

"It seems you're not planning on a one-on-one confrontation with me. But that's alright. Heroes in stories always encounter obstacles, and villains always come up with new tricks when they're in dire straits. It's not a big deal. Let me show you a little of my true abilities..."

Alexander spoke like a fighting game player who had lost hundreds of matches, and confidently stepped forward, showing no sign of apprehension.

It seems that no matter how many more companions Shirou has, they are just a few more moving grasshoppers to him, who can be easily crushed with a single step.

Rudius and the others were naturally very dissatisfied with Alexander's attitude.

The group immediately took their positions, with Tarhand and Elina Lizzie leading the vanguard, Keith in charge of overall command, Rudeus and Loki providing support from the sidelines, and Paul roaming around, launching attacks at crucial moments...

Although they are destined to be no match for Alexander, as long as they can buy Shirou some time, there shouldn't be any problems.

That was what they originally thought.

But the one-sided situation that emerged right from the start of the battle caused everyone to show unpleasant expressions.

Because in the face of Alexander, they tragically discovered that they were as fragile as ants, no match for the current Northern God.

Not to mention the two front-line fighters, Alina Lige and Tarhand, they couldn't even withstand a single attack from Alexander. Rudeus and Lokishi's magic also had almost no effect on Alexander, as it was completely blocked by the gravity shield created by the King Dragon Sword!

"This is not good."

As someone who observes the situation and oversees the overall picture, Keith could see at a glance just how difficult the current situation was.

He was completely powerless to change the situation or delay Alexander's plans in any way.

After a few exchanges, Paul couldn't help but click his tongue and mutter, "This guy seems to be deliberately conserving his strength to ensure he has the upper hand in the fight against Shirou. He doesn't take us seriously at all."

Paul made this judgment because Alexander did not display the same dominance and suppressive power he had shown when fighting Shirou.

Alexander suppressed his strength throughout the fight, adopting the most relaxed posture. Even so, he easily overwhelmed Paul and the others, leaving them barely able to catch their breath.

Seeing the dire situation, Rudius realized he needed to step in and change the course of the battle.

He deeply regretted the time he had wasted at the magic university.

If he had devoted more time to studying magic at the magic university, he might have mastered more king-level or even emperor-level spells by now.

In that case, he would likely be able to delay Alexander's advance.

In an instant, feelings of regret and resentment arose in Rudius's heart, making him realize what he had wasted all these years and squandered his time.

Essentially, this is the same mistake he made in his previous life!

I discovered that my true nature had never changed at all.

This was the most painful thing for him, but it also helped him recover from his state of confusion and despair, and gave rise to a belief and awareness that was completely different from the past.

"I'll hold him off!"

Seeing everyone being driven back, Rudeus desperately stepped forward and stood alone in front of the Northern God III.

He gripped the staff he had acquired at the magic university, gathering all his magical power, determined to fight to the death to keep Alexander here, giving Shirou time to complete his preparations.

Alexander showed no interest in his presence, treating him as casually as if he were a roadside weed.

"Go away!"

Alexander casually swung the Dragon King Sword.

The pressure emanating from the greatsword nearly blew Rudeus away.

But Rudyus remained unmoved, for he immediately created an earthen wall in front of him, blocking Alexander's attack.

"You didn't chant just now?"

Alexander noticed Rudeus's incantationless magic and finally showed a slightly different attitude towards him.

However, he still didn't think much of Rudeus, because although chantless magic was rare, it wasn't non-existent, and a small number of magicians still mastered this technique.

Alexander merely glanced at Rudius before charging toward him, swinging his greatsword in the process.

"!!!"

Feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from the massive longsword in his opponent's hand, Rudeus's face showed obvious fear and unease, as if he could sense the approach of death.

If it were him in the past, he would probably have backed down out of fear at this moment, lacking the courage to face an attack that could bring him death.

But now he is prepared for the consequences.

Even if it means death, we must never let the enemy advance even a single step!

"Rock Cannonball!"

Rudeus raised his wand and instantly created a large number of rock projectiles around him. This was his most proficient magic, so he released dozens of them almost instantly.

At the same time, Rudeus created a swamp under the feet of the Northern God III, dragging the opponent's steps down.

This combo was once an invincible weapon for Rudeus.

As a child, she even used this trick to defeat Shirou, and it worked every time at the Magic Academy, making her invincible.

However, when they reunited at the magic academy after growing up, Rudeus was unable to defeat Shirou even when he used the same ability.

At that time, Rudius had already realized that he was the only one who had stagnated.

He indulged his desires and wasted his talents.

Now, the same trick still didn't work on the Northern God. The opponent wasn't hindered by the swamp at all, and instead of dodging, he easily deflected all the rock cannonballs with his sword.

Rudius thus realized that his rock cannonballs were not powerful enough, so he chose to unleash an even more powerful attack.

"Homemade gun!"

Rudeus manipulated the soil, conjuring sharp rock spears that sprang from the ground in an attempt to defeat the Northern God by surprise.

"A boring tactic."

However, this skill had no effect whatsoever when facing Alexander's gravity shield, and he was immediately stuck in mid-air.

Then it was crushed flat by the immense gravity!

"What's wrong? Is this all you've got?"

Alexander's words made Rudius break out in a cold sweat.

He realized that the gap between himself and his opponent was too great, and that he simply did not have any further means to defeat him.

In that case, should we give up?

Rudius's mind raced with various thoughts, and he was suddenly thrown into confusion by extreme turmoil.

Alexander showed no mercy. The moment Rudeus was stunned, he destroyed all the rock formations with a single blow and rushed in front of Rudeus.

"Ahhhh!!!"

at this time.

A dark figure darted out from beside Alexander like a comet.

Paul gripped his longsword and, with a near-suicidal effort, used all his strength to attack the Northern God.

Although Alexander blocked the attack, he was slowed down, giving Rudius a chance to escape. However, Paul himself got caught in a head-on collision with Alexander. Before they could even exchange a few blows, Paul was hit by a terrifying gravity spell, blood spilling from his mouth as he collapsed to the ground.

"Father!!!"

Rudius panicked completely when he saw this.

He couldn't accept that Paul was in such a desperate situation to protect himself, so he risked his life to help him.

But his magic had no effect on Alexander in the slightest, and naturally could not save Paul from his predicament.

On the other side, Paul did not give up after being suppressed by gravity magic. He almost scrambled to his feet and, in a manner completely devoid of swordsmanship, pounced on Alexander like a mad dog.

Alexander seemed quite disgusted by this, and kicked Paul, sending him flying.

He then raised his longsword, ready to stab the latter.

"stop!"

Rudius, naturally, could not allow this to happen. Inspired by Paul, he also abandoned his magician's reserve and rushed towards Alexander with a desperate move.

However, his physical abilities as a mage were powerless to resist. He couldn't even withstand the pressure of gravity magic and was directly crushed to the ground by the immense gravity.

The father and son both collapsed.

But Paul was not disappointed. He looked at Rudius with an optimistic expression and said with a smile, "Don't give up, Rudius. Even if we die, we must never give up!"

"……it is good."

Upon hearing Paul's words, Rudius inexplicably burst into tears.

Unlike their previous arguments over fighting the Northern God, the father and son are now completely at peace and share a common will.

But willpower cannot change the despairing reality.

Alexander still stood before the two with an almost terrifying aura of dominance, and said with apparent disinterest, "Honestly, you've wasted so much time on boring extras. In return, I'll cut off one of your hands!"

"..."

Rudius's eyes widened at Alexander's words.

He has been gathering magic power from the very beginning.

Now, after careful preparation, it suddenly erupted—

"Wow!"

It was a vast swamp that not only caused the ground to collapse, but also caused problems with the load-bearing walls of the maze next to it, and even the ceiling collapsed!

Upon seeing this, Alexander instinctively retreated.

Paul seized the opportunity decisively, even at the risk of being crushed to death by rocks, to rush in front of his opponent and plunge his sword into the chest of the Northern God!

"Foolishness!"

Alexander seemed to be angered by this despicable tactic.

"Boom!"

He unleashed the full power of the Dragon King Sword, shattering all the rocks in one strike, and sending Rudeus and Paul flying on the spot.

Alexander was now completely unrestrained, and the pressure of gravity magic was about to directly approach the father and son.

If hit by this blow, it wouldn't just be an arm; it could even be crushed to death.

"boom!"

At this critical moment, a storm of magical power emerged from afar, and the longsword Shirou had conjured in his hand suddenly took shape, finally catching up at the last moment!

"I kept you waiting!"

Like a calm spot in the vortex of a storm!

As the longsword in Shirou's hand, which was invisible to the naked eye, was fully formed.

The violent storm ignited the magic throughout the labyrinth, unleashing a devastating explosion that completely neutralized Alexander's gravity magic!
