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

Shirou completed the final projection of Excalibur.

This was quite unexpected for him; it was unbelievable that he could actually accomplish it.

After all, Excalibur was the Noble Phantasm of King Arthur, Artoria, and was a truly divine weapon in the true sense of the word.

This weapon is even comparable to the Noble Phantasm Ea of the Heroic Spirit Gilgamesh.

Normally, Shirou has absolutely no way to project.

But Shirou has never given up on creating Excalibur over the years; he has always longed to obtain a powerful tool that can reverse everything.

Therefore, when he first learned to forge, he chose to forge the weapon that King Arthur Artoria used in his youth—the Golden Sword of Victory.

Although it was also Artoria's weapon, it was not a weapon created by a god; it was merely a fragile weapon that could be created by a mortal.

However, it is almost indistinguishable from the Noble Phantasm Excalibur, making it a weaker version of Excalibur.

Through forging the invincible golden sword, Shirou gradually understands the concept of a holy sword and realizes that the key to a holy sword is not its form, but the reserves of its core.

The emphasis in "Holy Sword" is not on the word "sword," but on the word "holy."

Only by creating a core that is unique to the Holy Sword itself can the Holy Sword's true form be created.

Having grasped this point, Shirou was able to go a step further and create the Noble Phantasm, the Golden Sword of Eternity.

This is a fictional Noble Phantasm created by Shirou himself, not belonging to history. Its appearance is that of a golden sword of certain victory, but its core is the holy sword of the Holy Kingdom of Milis.

That was a weapon held by Saint Milis, the founding pope of the Holy Kingdom of Milis.

With the power of this holy sword, he once cleaved the path of the holy sword with a single strike, annihilating countless demons.

After studying the Holy Sword of Milis, Kashirou discovered that the material of the holy sword itself was not particularly unique. The reason it possessed such exaggerated power was that Saint Milis himself had imbued it with divine essence, which made it an invincible sword with immense power.

Since Shirou was unable to create a holy sword at the time, he chose to fuse the invincible golden sword with the holy sword Milis, thus creating a truly holy sword—the eternal and distant golden sword.

At the very moment the eternally distant golden sword was born, Shirou understood the essence of the so-called holy sword, which was its unique sacredness.

Therefore, ever since then, Shirou has been pondering whether he could create a genuine Excalibur if he could find a way to fill the void of divinity.

This idea continued to ferment after it was conceived, and finally became a reality during the process of Shirou forging the distant ideal world at the Magic University.

Because Shirou realized during the process of forging the distant utopia that the distant utopia was essentially the sacred embodiment of Excalibur.

Only when the distant ideal world is combined with the sword of Excalibur, and the two are united as one, can it be considered a true holy sword.

Both originate from the same source, representing the destiny of King Arthur and Artoria, and the ultimate demise of a fearless and undaunted ruler.

What is called sacred is the blood shed by a flawless person when they sacrifice themselves.

Even if it means bleeding out completely, I will uphold my beliefs to the very end!

After grasping the essence of Excalibur, Shirou realized that he might be able to project the real Excalibur, but he did not try it immediately. Instead, he planned to try to create the real Excalibur after he regained the power of Unlimited Blade Works.

Unfortunately, the appearance of the Northern God III disrupted all his plans. The power and terror of the Northern God made him realize that he could only hope to defeat his opponent by fighting with all his might and bleeding to the last drop.

Therefore, even knowing that forcibly projecting the Excalibur might cause his own collapse, Shirou still tried it regardless.

In the process of creation, he was indeed on the verge of self-destruction.

It's not just physical decay, but also spiritual annihilation.

After all, Excalibur's status is too high. For a mortal like him to try to create a divine creation is like trying to break an iceberg with a human body—it's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

But perhaps Shirou's conviction was too strong, or perhaps it was the distant ideal world within him that was at play.

Yes, Shirou placed this Noble Phantasm into his own body immediately after forging the distant paradise, intending to use it to save those around him at a critical moment. However, he never expected that the first time it would be used would be to save himself.

Therefore, while protecting Shirou's body from destruction in the distant utopia and constantly repairing it, Shirou's own mental will was also strong enough that he was not destroyed by the pressure brought by the projected holy sword.

He ultimately succeeded in resisting the negative effects of the projected holy sword, accomplishing a feat that was almost unbelievable for mortals.

In a sense, at this moment he even surpassed the Heroic Spirit Emiya, achieving a Heroic Spirit-level feat that the Heroic Spirit Emiya himself could not do!

"Wow!"

Shirou, holding an unseen longsword, walked straight forward.

Because Excalibur is a weapon encased in a magic spell called the Wind King's Barrier, its appearance is completely indistinguishable to outsiders.

At the same time, the Wind King Barrier itself is quite powerful. The wind pressure it releases alone is enough to defeat powerful enemies and successfully neutralize Alexander's gravity magic.

"This is?"

Unlike before, Alexander could now clearly sense that Shirou was holding something extraordinary in his hand.

As the wielder of the Wanglong Sword, he shouldn't feel uneasy or afraid of any opponent's weapon, but he genuinely felt that way now.

This was undoubtedly something that Alexander himself could not accept.

Therefore, Alexander completely ignored Rudius and Paul who had been knocked away and turned his attention to the direction where Shirou was.

"I wonder what's different about it now. I hope it will bring me more fun, Shirou."

Alexander spoke in his usual condescending tone, seemingly still full of confidence, believing that his strength surpassed that of his opponent.

"..."

Shirou didn't respond to this; his first priority was to check on Rudius, Paul, and others.

Only after realizing that no one had been seriously injured or killed because of him did he breathe a sigh of relief and silently look at Alexander:

"At this point, I feel that there may be no need for this battle to continue."

"Oh? You want to admit defeat?"

"No, I want you to admit defeat."

"Haha, hahahaha...!"

Upon hearing Shirou's words, Alexander let out a wanton laugh.

He seemed to have heard something particularly funny, and without any decorum, he clutched his stomach and ate for a while.

When he finally calmed down and raised his head, he said aggressively, "This is the first time anyone has said something like this to me. Very well, Shirou, this way when I kill you later, I will remember you more deeply as my rival in the Heroic Tale!"

The moment he finished speaking, Alexander brandished the King Dragon Sword and charged towards Shirou.

His inner self was clearly not as calm as it appeared, and he was uneasy about Shirou's sudden change.

However, Alexander outwardly maintained a fearless demeanor, which was clearly an inseparable source of confidence for him and a matter of pride as the god of the north.

"!!!"

Witnessing the Northern God's charge, everyone around showed tense expressions.

After experiencing the battle firsthand, they had fully realized just how terrifying Alexander's strength was and worried that Shirou would be powerless to contend with him.

"Well!"

But the moment this idea came to mind, Alexander's attack stopped abruptly.

Despite relying on gravity magic and the King Dragon Sword, he had always been unstoppable, tearing everything in his path to dust with his terrifying slashes.

But this was the first time he had ever had his weapon blocked head-on after he swung it with all his might!

The one who blocked the attack was undoubtedly Shirou.

The latter still held the unseen weapon, and the moment Alexander approached, he activated the Wind King's Barrier on the sword, unleashing a raging storm.

The storm and gravity magic cancel each other out!

Alexander's slash was also blocked by Shirou's Blade of Light.

After Alexander completely unleashed the Dragon Sword, this was the first time the two sides clashed head-on, and neither side had the upper hand!

"what?!"

For the first time, Alexander showed a look of astonishment, finding it hard to believe that his attack had been parried.

What he found even more unbelievable was what happened next.

When Alexander, wielding the King Dragon Sword, arrived in front of him, Shirou completely stopped pretending with his weapon and unleashed the full power of the Wind King Barrier, blasting him out like a cannonball in one go!

"Wind King Hammer!"

When a violent gale sweeps everything away, the air dissipates, turning into a vacuum.

That was a technique once used by King Arthur, Artoria, which could instantly unleash compressed wind to create a storm that could shatter everything.

Although it is a one-time use weapon that cannot be returned to the sword after use, it can create a surprise attack effect and severely damage the enemy if the opponent does not notice it!

"Boom!"

Right now, the wind hammer that Shirou has unleashed is something Alexander never expected.

The latter was stunned and had no time to react when he saw a gale like a cannonball rushing towards him, tearing apart the gravity magic shield in front of him in the blink of an eye and touching his body.

"boom!!"

A muffled thud resounded, echoing throughout the entire maze!

Alexander was sent flying like a cannonball, piercing through several pillars before crashing heavily into the wall.

After completing this attack, Shirou did not hesitate at all. He decisively took out the bow and arrows behind him and fired several rapid shots to replenish his supply, continuing his strategy of relentlessly pursuing and attacking the enemy!

"boom!"

"Bang!" "Bang!"

A violent storm swept everything away.

Shirou's attack completely turned Alexander's location into a thick smoke zone, and not a single sound could be heard for a long time.

Rudeus and the others looked nervously in the direction of the swirling aura, eager to know the outcome of that attack.

If they couldn't even inflict the slightest damage on Alexander, they simply couldn't imagine how they could possibly defeat this Northern God.

"Hululu..."

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, a figure reappeared before everyone.

It was a black-haired boy wielding a giant sword, which he used as a support to place on the ground, while he struggled to get up little by little.

Although the Wanglong Sword in his hand was completely undamaged by the impact, and its luster was not even dimmed, Alexander looked much weaker. There were obvious signs of his chest collapsing, and there was blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.

Shirou's Wind Hammer inflicted extremely effective damage on him, making the usually confident and composed Kitakami III experience a setback for the first time.

"...Hehe, hehehe, hehahaha!"

However, Alexander's expression did not show any gloom; instead, he let out a startling burst of wild laughter.

He smiled as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, slowly steadied himself on the ground, and looked at Shirou.

After their eyes met for a few seconds, Alexander seemed to have completely lost control of his anger and impulse, roaring, "I'm going to kill you!!!"

In an instant, Alexander charged toward Shirou with lightning speed.

The movement was faster than ever before, but because he had lost his composure, he didn't use any of the techniques of the Northern God Style.

Shirou made no unnecessary movements in the face of Alexander's arrival.

He simply seized the opportunity, took a few deep breaths, gripped the golden longsword in his hand that had revealed its true form after losing the protection of the Wind King's barrier, and unleashed his full power of the Light Katana!

"boom!"

Like two shooting stars colliding and then plummeting down!

"boom!"

Shirou and Alexander both staggered backward after the collision, and this time, they staggered back by almost the exact same distance.

This proves that there is absolutely no difference between the two.

Having made up for his shortcomings in weaponry, Shirou, now possessing the King-level Sword God style, is fully capable of fighting Alexander, the God of the North.

This undoubtedly proves once again that the Sword God Style is the world's strongest swordsmanship style!

Of course, Alexander's loss of composure was one aspect, but more importantly, it also revealed Alexander's own lack of strength.

He relied too much on the power of the Wanglong Sword, so much so that he did not hone his own skills for too long.

Just as the Second Prince of the North once said, the biggest weakness of the King Dragon Sword is that its excessive power will corrupt its wielder, causing the wielder to gradually lose its own strength.

This statement has now been completely fulfilled in Alexander himself!
