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

"Your Highness Ariel!"

Luke and Sylphie looked panicked and anxiously tried to rush over to save Ariel's life.

But their abilities were simply insufficient, and they had absolutely no chance of saving Ariel.

Just as everyone was watching Ariel's impending death, a figure suddenly emerged from a corner of the venue.

"Boom!"

A blue-haired girl dressed in armor stood in front of the three Northern Kings.

Upon seeing her, Doristina exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Sister Izoruti, how did you come to know her?"

"I'm your senior sister, how could I abandon you?"

Izalute spoke up crisply, then looked at Ariel with a serious expression, "I came here privately after learning about Doristina's matter, and this has nothing to do with Master Leda."

"Grateful."

Ariel had no more words, keeping all her gratitude hidden in her heart.

Thus, the battlefield that took place at the banquet was able to maintain its balance.

Because after fighting Shirou when she was a half-step Water Saint, Isorti has now reached the level of a Water King through her outstanding talent and unremitting efforts.

With his skillful defensive Water God Style technique, he single-handedly withstood the attack of the three Northern Kings!

……

Yellow sand filled the sky, boiling and swirling.

Above the Hill of Ten Thousand Swords, the fierce battle between swords reached its climax!

"Boom!"

The moment Shirou projected the Excalibur into his hand, he swung his longsword without hesitation, unleashing a katana of light with the movements of a Sword God King!

His sword strike, in terms of both speed and power, far surpassed every previous slash.

Even the Heroic Spirit Emiya couldn't withstand this attack head-on, so he chose to use the advantages of Unlimited Blade Works to summon thousands upon thousands of swords to block Shirou's advance.

"Tsk..."

Shirou was extremely dissatisfied with this blatant tactic of delaying him, because for him now, time was everything, and he had no time to waste in this battle that had no end in sight.

Therefore, he no longer held back or had any restrictions, and directly raised the Excalibur sword in his hand above his head!

"Holy Sword, Release!"

"The Sword of Promised Victory!"

Suddenly, astonishing magic spread across the yellow sand, and the rolling dust seemed to completely envelop the entire enchanted barrier, eventually tearing everything apart!

Witnessing this scene, not to mention the Heroic Spirit Emiya, the Ankylosaurus Perkius, the familiar Sivaril, Rudeus, and Paul, who had been watching the battle, were all deeply shocked.

They never imagined that such an amazing battle could exist in the world.

Whether it's Emiya, the Heroic Spirit who wields Unlimited Blade Works, or Shirou, who contends against this world of countless swords, both exude an exaggerated sense of oppression.

The Excalibur that Shirou is using now is beyond the limits of imagination; it's as if he's going to use pure power to overturn all the laws!

"Finally, something decent has appeared."

As the Heroic Spirit Emiya looked at Shirou, who held the holy sword as if he were about to tear the entire world apart, a fearless smile appeared on his face.

He slowly raised his right hand, and a holy sword that was very similar to Excalibur, but clearly not Excalibur, was projected onto his hand.

Emiya then followed Shirou's gesture, raising their holy swords together.

After gathering all their strength, they erupted in an instant!

"Boom!"

Two torrents of light erupted completely on the plain of the Infinity Blade, clashing with each other as if splitting the world into two distinct parts.

In that instant, all color seemed to vanish completely, turning into pure black and white.

After an unknown amount of time, the flood completely subsided.

The figures of Emiya and Shirou appeared simultaneously on the plain.

Emiya looked much more disheveled. The holy sword he projected did not have the power of Excalibur and could not completely block Shirou's attack.

Shirou, however, did not appear to be in much better condition; the release of Excalibur had consumed too much of his magical energy.

After the battle with the Northern God III, Shirou even fainted due to exhaustion.

The fact that he can still stand here now is already at the limit.

"It's a real shame that you weren't able to fully master that holy sword."

The Heroic Spirit Emiya calmly spoke, "If Saber herself were to use it, I absolutely could not block it head-on. But you are not the master of that holy sword, so even if you swung that sword, you could not completely destroy this barrier. If you don't have any other moves, you will not be able to win this battle."

Emiya's words silenced Shirou. He understood the implications of the current outcome better than anyone else, and a bitter expression instinctively appeared on his face.

Chapter 349 Shirou is defeated! Ariel is checkmated! A double crisis?!

When Excalibur fell completely but failed to defeat the Heroic Spirit Emiya, Shirou already realized how difficult the battle would be.

Unable to break through Emiya's defenses on a single point, and also unable to cope with the countless sword rains within Unlimited Blade Works, he had almost no chance of defeating his opponent.

Such an outcome was naturally unacceptable to Shirou.

The civil war in the Kingdom of Asura is currently raging, and Ariel and the Boreas family could be devastated at any moment.

If I were to leave the mountain even a second later, there could be sacrifices I don't want to see.

Therefore, Shirou felt anxious and urgent almost involuntarily. Even though he knew that his magical energy was greatly depleted and his condition was not fully recovered, he still swung Excalibur in his hand without regard for anything else, aiming it at the direction of the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

"Haaah!"

Emiya remained calm in the face of Shirou's actions. He casually picked up a sword from the ground and fearlessly clashed head-on with Shirou.

The weapon in Emiya's hand was no match for Excalibur and was broken almost instantly.

But he did not hesitate and quickly projected a new weapon, easily parrying the attack.

Seeing this, Shirou became increasingly impatient. He unleashed his full power without regard for anything else, as if he wanted to defeat the man in front of him as quickly as possible and completely master Unlimited Blade Works.

But the more anxious he became, the more the situation developed in a direction unfavorable to him.

In the end, due to Shirou's abuse of magic, he even completely lost the power to maintain Excalibur, and the holy sword in his hand completely dissipated and turned into nothingness.

"ended."

Emiya looked at Shirou coldly, as if he were looking at a fool whose eyes had been blinded. "It seems you are very worried about that princess's situation. What, do you like her that much?"

"it's not true."

"Then why are you so anxious?"

"I……"

Shirou was unable to respond to Emiya's words.

Because he truly realized that he was being too flustered and uneasy.

In battles of this caliber, it is difficult to achieve victory if one cannot remain calm and rational throughout the fight.

The kind of situation where you can unleash tremendous power simply by relying on willpower and shouting, as if shouting loudly could unleash a powerful force, only happens in the plots of novels and anime.

In real-world battles, a lack of composure can lead to unintentional mistakes and utter defeat.

Even though Shirou knew all this, he still couldn't maintain his rationality. His inner anxiety grew stronger and stronger, and he even felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Seeing Shirou's expression, the Heroic Spirit Emiya seemed to have seen through everything. He smiled and said, "You've used up all your trump cards and see no hope of victory. I understand your anxiety and despair right now, but it's precisely at times like these that you must remain rational and never act impulsively. Otherwise, you're not qualified to be a partner of justice. After all, upholding justice is always more difficult than succumbing to evil. A partner of justice must be ten thousand times stronger than the leader of evil in order to truly realize justice."

"...I have abandoned justice."

Shirou silently responded to Emiya's words.

After making a series of choices that deny justice, he no longer has any right to call himself a partner of justice.

Upon hearing Shirou's words, the Heroic Spirit Emiya revealed a calm expression and said in a mocking tone, "Are you sure you've given up? If you've truly abandoned justice, why are you risking your life to fight me here?"

"That's because we need to rescue Ariel and the others..."

"But why did you go to save people?"

"because……"

Shirou's words caught in his throat. He couldn't give a perfect response and didn't know how to give the right answer.

Unlike before, this time he is not fighting for his family.

In the past, whenever facing any enemy, Shirou firmly stated that he would give anything to save his family. He saved Miyu for this, and in this world, he also saved Senis...

However, at present, he does not actually have a very reasonable reason to participate in the civil war of the Kingdom of Asura.

Shirou found it difficult to respond to Emiya's questions, and his inner confusion deepened once again.

Meanwhile, the fighting never stopped during the dialogue between the two sides.

Both Emiya and Shirou had exhausted much of their magical energy in the previous clash, and neither had much magic energy left to create a projection. Instead, they began to rely on their physical strength and engage in hand-to-hand combat using the most basic weapons.

"Ding,"

Two swords clashed against two swords.

Because of his inner confusion, Shirou was a beat slower than the Heroic Spirit Emiya and almost had his arm cut off. He barely managed to dodge by rolling around in a sorry state.

Emiya decisively seized the opportunity, opening his right hand towards Shirou, and several longswords flew up from the Unlimited Blade Works dunes, suddenly attacking the latter.

"Ding,"

"Ding," "Ding,"

Shirou went all out and fought with all his might to finally block the opponent's attack, but he also suffered a lot of injuries.

"Confusion is a sign of weakness, and you are no different from a weak person right now."

Looking at Shirou's expression, the Heroic Spirit Emiya calmly commented, "So what if you've abandoned justice? Have you been clinging to that ideal of justice all along? In reality, haven't you already made up your mind about your path?"

"..."

Emiya's words silenced Shirou.

He did indeed solidify his path, but that didn't mean he lost his sense of direction. In fact, he had doubted more than once whether his current path and choices were the right ones.

He once chose to abandon justice in order to protect his family, and even if it meant going down a path contrary to justice, he was determined to protect his family to the very end.

However, Shirou has once again betrayed his own beliefs.

He knew that the important family members were the ones who had to take on the responsibility of the Grerat family, yet he still risked his life to participate in the civil war of the Kingdom of Asura, even though he might not be able to come back alive. Shirou had made a completely different choice once again, abandoning his belief in protecting his family.

Faced with his own treachery, Shirou couldn't help but question himself from the bottom of his heart.

What is it that I really want?

Shirou couldn't answer this question, which is why his confusion persisted and even affected the outcome of the battle.

Heroic Spirit Emiya noticed Shirou's confusion, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he activated the countless blades on the sword mound without hesitation.

"boom!"

"Bang!" "Bang!"

This time, Shirou had no way to avoid being hit by a large number of swords after exhausting his magic power. His figure disappeared into a cloud of dust.

"Shirou!"

"Shirou-san!"

Paul and Rudius, seeing this from a distance, immediately showed signs of panic and even wanted to forcibly stop the fight.

But all of this was stopped by Ankylosaurus.

As the one who initiated this trial, Ankylosaurus obviously wouldn't interrupt it halfway through, and he wouldn't show any mercy even if Shirou himself were to die in the battle.

Rudius and Paulo were undoubtedly finding this result difficult to accept.

The two are now even beginning to regret why they let Shirou participate in such a crazy experiment. Perhaps they should have forcibly stopped Shirou from participating in the civil war of the Kingdom of Asura from the very beginning, and stopped him from taking such a meaningless action!

……

The royal capital of Ars.

"Miss Izoruti!"
