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

Alexander's expression was extremely grim. When Shirou blocked his full-force swing of the Dragon Sword, he showed a look of near-madness for the first time.

It wasn't some kind of deceptive tactic, nor was it due to an unexpected situation that left them unable to react.

Rather, they genuinely felt uneasy about the current situation and were afraid that their efforts had not yielded the desired results.

As one of the seven great powers, Kitagawa III is arguably the least imposing figure Shirou has ever encountered.

Although Shirou had not encountered many powerful figures, he was well aware of the level of mentality and will possessed by truly powerful individuals. It was a state that only true powerhouses could acquire after undergoing long periods of tempering and countless self-reflections.

However, Alexander did not give Shirou the feeling of a strong person. Not only did he not seem like a strong person, he even felt that Alexander was not as strong as the water goddess Lydia he had met before.

Although the Water God is not one of the great powers, both in terms of temperament and strength, he possesses the attitude of a true strongman. He will never be confused or shaken by anything, and he will always wield his sword accurately and decisively, no matter the circumstances.

As for Alexander, his strength was entirely due to the Wanglong Sword.

Or rather, because the Wanglong Sword itself was so powerful, Alexander had almost never experienced powerlessness and frustration in the past.

For example, Alexander is like a teenager with decent talent who, thanks to his privileged family and status, gets into a good high school, a good university, and a good company. Everything goes smoothly for him, but it's only when he enters society and encounters people at the same level that he realizes the taste of setbacks for the first time.

Because he had little experience of facing setbacks and defeats in the past, he had no idea how to deal with the inner turmoil caused by setbacks, and he couldn't even adopt a normal fighting stance, showing a quality far inferior to that of an ordinary swordsman.

Shirou understands Alexander's feelings, but he will not show mercy out of consideration for Alexander's feelings.

Now that things have come to this, even if he has to resort to despicable means, he will never stop here and will not hesitate to completely defeat this Northern God III!

"boom!"

Upon realizing that Alexander was wavering and unable to react correctly, Shirou decisively rushed forward and swung Excalibur, which was now fully in its stance, in a sudden strike of light.

After the collision, Alexander seemed to be terrified of fighting Shirou head-on. He stopped swinging the Dragon Sword and instead used gravity magic to try to escape the attack.

"Rock Cannonball!"

Seeing this, Rudeus decisively cast a spell from the side.

He had been gathering magic power and preparing to unleash his magic since just now, and the opportunity he seized was perfect. He directly shot Alexander, who was about to take off, down from the sky!

Loki also waved her staff, quickly chanted, and completed the spell.

"Show yourself, earthen wall!"

Loki created walls of rock around Alexander, preventing him from using gravity magic to dodge.

Shirou was thus able to rush up to Alexander!

“Damn it!!”

Seemingly not expecting the other side to be so ruthless, Alexander was furious but had no way to vent his anger. He could only watch helplessly as Shirou's katana of light, which was too fast for the naked eye to follow, attacked him.

"boom!"

A violent storm, carrying sand and dust, smashed a huge crater into the ground.

Shirou's attack, which showed no mercy, sent Alexander flying. Even though Alexander activated his gravity shield in time to block the fatal injury, he couldn't completely erase the power of the Blade of Light, and a clear slash mark appeared on his chest.

He retreated rapidly and landed directly in front of a cliff deep in the maze. Due to the narrow surroundings, he clearly had nowhere to escape.

In contrast, Shirou and his companions are now fully prepared and have ample combat strength.

The situation has completely turned in Shirou's favor.

"Give up, Alexander."

Watching Alexander struggle to his feet, panting heavily, Shirou gazed at him calmly, a cold expression on his face.

Although it wasn't his individual strength that defeated his opponent, he wasn't the kind of fool obsessed with winning one-on-one; he didn't care what means he used as long as he could achieve victory.

On the other side, Alexander silently got up from the ground, planted the Dragon King Sword in the ground, and leaned against the sword.

His gaze swept over Shirou and the others, seemingly unable to believe that he had been driven to such a desperate situation by such a group of weaklings, causing great confusion and unease within him.

But on the surface, he still insisted, or rather stubbornly said, "Do you think you've already won? I didn't even use my full strength just now. I didn't want to use irresistible violence against a bunch of weaklings like you, but since you've pushed me to this point, don't blame me for what happens next!"

"..."

Shirou, of course, did not take Alexander's words lightly. He immediately adopted a confrontational stance and instructed Rudeus and the others to retreat as much as possible.

Although he didn't know what tricks Alexander would use, Shirou was determined to end the battle alone, so as not to let those around him get caught in the crossfire.

"Come on, let me show you the true power of me as the Northern God!"

Alexander stared coldly at the crowd before him, roared, and brandished his sword, "This is no predicament. In fact, for a hero, adversity is the best test! I will defeat you all and fulfill the mission of a hero! Come, witness this, as the Third King of the North, turning the tide!"

In an instant, Alexander unleashed an astonishing aura, and the Dragon King Sword in his hand instantly released energy that threw the entire labyrinth into chaos.

That was a complete gravity field, which completely disrupted the gravity of this space.

Not to mention Shirou who was relatively close, even Rudeus and the others who were relatively far away felt a sense of exhaustion, similar to what one feels when riding an elevator. They were instantly thrown into the air above the ceiling, and then thrown directly to the ground in the next second.

The completely chaotic gravity filled the entire space with a sense of incongruity, and the laws of nature were thrown into disarray.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!"

Taking advantage of the moment when everyone lost their composure, Alexander swung his longsword with all his might. However, he did not aim it at anyone present. Instead, he smashed the sword into the ground, or rather, the wall of the maze. After the greatsword smashed the wall, the entire maze began to shake, as if it could not maintain its support and was about to collapse at any moment!

"not good!"

Rudius immediately realized what Alexander was doing and warned him, "That guy is trying to destroy the labyrinth itself. If that happens, Mother will also be in danger!"

"Rudeus, use magic with me!"

The moment Luo Qixi realized the situation, she immediately made a judgment.

Together with Rudeus, she unleashed earth magic, forcibly constructing new earthen walls on the crumbling rampage to maintain the labyrinth's balance.

But this balance is fragile, especially since Alexander's strength is too exaggerated. If the opponent makes a similar move again, he can completely destroy the maze.

At that point, not only Senis, who is at the core of the labyrinth, but also Rudeus and others, could be severely injured by the collapsing labyrinth without the protection of gravity magic.

Faced with all this, Shirou realized that he had to stand up and stop Alexander's actions.

Although the scene was completely obscured by gravity magic and sandstorms, Shirou still managed to spot Alexander's figure immediately thanks to his Clairvoyance.

He then decisively approached his opponent at top speed and unleashed a powerful katana strike.

Alexander naturally noticed Shirou's movements. He no longer had the courage to confront Shirou head-on, so just as Shirou was about to get close, he decisively activated gravity magic, changed direction in mid-air, and successfully dodged Shirou's sword strike.

Shirou would not allow Alexander's attempt to escape. Although he could not use gravity magic, he still had ways to pursue him in mid-air.

"Snapped!"

Shirou gathered his magical power and suddenly unleashed a sword aura towards Alexander, a golden radiance emanating from his magical energy.

"boom!"

Alexander seemed to have never expected Shirou to have such a unique method. His movements in mid-air suddenly froze, and he was finally blasted away by the immense magical power.

Shirou seized the opportunity to close the distance and rushed towards Alexander once again.

At the same time, due to the inertia brought about by acceleration, even if Shirou's sword was not the Blade of Light, its speed and power were exaggerated to an unimaginable degree.

Alexander raised the Dragon King Sword in his hand to parry at his limit, but he still couldn't withstand the impact and crashed directly into the rock wall.

Shirou seized the opportunity and launched a series of slashes at Alexander, each strike embodying his understanding and mastery of swordsmanship.

That was no longer just the Sword God Style, but a unique sword style that combined the swordsmanship of the Heroic Spirit Emiya, the swordsmanship of King Arthur, the Northern God Style, the Water God Style, and other martial arts, ultimately becoming a unique style belonging to Shirou himself!

"boom!"

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Shirou unleashed countless sword strikes, almost instantly rendering Alexander immobile.

"Ahhhh!!!"

When all the magic and fighting spirit finally converged into one point, Shirou unleashed his sword intent, which had been condensed to its limit. It was an ultimate sword technique that surpassed the level that a King-level sword should possess!

"Boom!"

In the end, the terrifying sword intent completely tore apart the ground behind Alexander, creating a terrifying crack that was nearly a hundred meters long!

When it was all over, Shirou silently looked at the battlefield before him, which was now so desolate that not even a trace could be seen.

He had already vented all his emotions in the battle just now, and he had no more words to say.

Even the Third King of the North would find it hard to imagine surviving under such circumstances.

I won, I defeated the Northern God...

Despite this, Shirou felt no joy whatsoever.

After all, this battle shouldn't have happened, nor should it have occurred, but in the end, it all became a reality in such a terrible state.

Shirou could only sigh silently in his heart and turn to look at Rudeus and the others.

"We won? Did we win?!"

Rudius got up from the ground, looking disheveled.

He and the others were completely thrown away by the gravity barrier released by Alexander, and he even felt that several of his ribs were broken in the process.

But now, having discovered that the Northern God III has been completely defeated by Shirou, Rudeus completely disregards his injuries, excitedly gets up from the ground, and waves his hands.

"They actually did it..."

Paul and the others also got up from the ground. They first looked at Shirou, who was still standing there, and stared in disbelief.

Immediately afterwards, everyone's face showed the same extreme excitement as Rudius's.

"awesome!"

After the initial excitement subsided, Paul and the others quickly realized that they shouldn't get too excited, since Senis was still trapped inside the magic crystal.

The crowd immediately calmed down and stopped being so excited and happy.

Loki and Alina Lige first tried to remove the magic crystal's restriction on Senis, and found that they were able to release her from the crystal easily.

Although Senis did not immediately regain consciousness, she was still breathing.

This immediately put everyone at ease.

Especially Paul; the last time Shirou saw him so nervous was when he was in the delivery room waiting for Rudeus to be born.

He breathed a long sigh of relief after discovering that Senis was still breathing, as if he had been completely freed from the chaos.

Keith also collected all the magic crystals. Each magic crystal was a priceless treasure, and he could make a lot of money by selling them.

This is an irresistible temptation for any adventurer.

Just as everyone present was feeling extremely excited about successfully rescuing Senis and receiving a great deal of reward from the dungeon, to the point of being overjoyed, Shirou's expression suddenly became incredibly tense.

He turned around in surprise and looked at the spot where Alexander had fallen.

After being subjected to a brutal attack by Shirou that could be described as a thousand cuts, Alexander was no longer recognizable as human.

However, seemingly due to the fact that the other party was a descendant of the undead and possessed a terrifying vitality almost identical to that of the undead, Alexander still did not die.

He struggled to his feet, covered in blood, and gritted his teeth as he spoke: "I must become a hero... I must uphold justice to the very end... because I am the Third King of the Northern God, the successor of the Northern God Kalman!! I will absolutely not lose!!!"

In an instant, Alexander exuded a terrifying aura.

That was a kind of aura that Shirou had once sensed.

Long ago, during his battle with the immortal demon king Atofi, he had witnessed the existence of this aura emanating from that demon king.

That seems to be the strongest secret technique of the Northern God Style.

"Get out of here!"

Without a moment to think, Shirou reprimanded everyone while simultaneously unfurling a projection with one hand, instantly releasing a shield in the shape of flower petals—the Sevenfold Ring of Blazing Heaven!

At the same time, Alexander's terrifying slash arrived in the next instant!

Chapter 339 Liberation Oath, Sword of Victory! Bringing Alexander back to reality!

Every young person undoubtedly dreams of becoming a hero.

It could be because of an exciting story, an unexpected turn of events in a dream, or a longing inspired by someone who exists in reality...

In short, every boy must have had the time to pick up a tree branch by the roadside, make it into a wooden sword, and then use that sword to fight for justice.

Of course, as time goes by, the gravity of reality will gradually strip away this false illusion, making the teenagers who are gradually coming of age realize that the so-called hero is just an illusion, a dream, and in the end everyone still has to return to their own ordinary daily life.

But this is something that only happens to ordinary people.

Lacking special abilities, they gradually abandoned their fantasies and embraced reality.

But for those born with special abilities, or even those who stand at the pinnacle, becoming a hero is no longer a fantasy that only happens in dreams.
