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

Page 268

"that person?"

Shirou noticed the key points in Ankylosaurus's words.

But Ankylosaurus clearly had no intention of explaining. He silently said, "So give up, Shirou. Even if you try to lure me with Muramasa's forging techniques, I won't fall for your trick."

"..."

Shirou looked helpless at Ankylion's words.

If Ankylosaurus couldn't provide assistance, he truly wouldn't know how to prove to Paul and the others that he had survived the Asura Civil War.

He will now have only two choices: either abandon Ariel and stop paying attention to the internal strife in the Kingdom of Asura, or forcibly sever ties with Paul and the others, participate in the war at all costs, and abandon his duty to protect his family.

Neither of these options was a good choice for him; it was an extremely difficult decision to make.

As Shirou was grappling with his troubles, Percius suddenly spoke up: "Shirou, I know what's troubling you, but to be honest, convincing your family that you can come back alive from the Asura Civil War shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

"What do you mean?"

"Your greatest enemy in Asura is undoubtedly the current Water God of the Water God Stream. She is indeed a formidable figure. If it weren't for the Sky Fortress, I would hardly consider her a match. But for you, who are now among the seven great powers, it's not like you don't have a chance to defeat her."

"what do you mean……"

"Didn't I say before that I would help you complete that special barrier magic? During your time on the continent of Becalit, I have completed all the preparations and will do my best to help you develop that magic."

With an air of confident authority, the Ankylosaurus King said, "If you can complete that magic, I can guarantee in the name of the Ankylosaurus King that you will definitely defeat the water goddess Leda. In that case, your family will have no objections."

"..."

Shirou was taken aback when Percius said something like that, but then he realized it made sense.

He then looked at Rudius and Paul beside him.

Needless to say, Rudeus had witnessed firsthand how incredible Shirou's Unlimited Blade Works was, and he believed that if Shirou possessed that kind of power, he would definitely be able to return alive.

Although Paul didn't know what Shirou's barrier magic was, he naturally had no objections since Ankylosaurus had made such a guarantee in person.

Therefore, everything began to develop naturally, and Shirou's request changed from persuading Ankylosaurus to help Ariel to master the power of Unlimited Blade Works himself.

This is undoubtedly a good development for Shirou. Although mastering Unlimited Blade Works is destined to be difficult, it is something he must accomplish.

Before joining Ankylion to study Unlimited Blade Works, Shirou asked Percyus about Senis on Paul's behalf.

However, Ankylosaurus didn't have any good ideas about this either. He simply put forward a similar view to that of the magician who had studied curses before, believing that Senis's condition was more like a curse, and that ordinary treatments would not be effective.

Shirou and the others had no choice but to accept this reality and prepare themselves for a long time, and even the possibility that Senis might not be cured.

Of course, Ankylion's words made Shirou even more convinced that Senis's condition might be a curse.

If we utilize the power of the Myriad Talismans to break the rules, it might be possible to cure it.

As he made this judgment, Shirou followed Ankylion to a room that the other party had specially prepared, a vast and extremely large space located at the bottom level of the aerial fortress.

Around the arena, countless magic circles, their details obscured, were being inscribed one by one.

In the center of all the magic circles, there is a special doll. The doll's image is not clear, like a human model that is still under construction.

After arriving at the scene with Shirou, Ankylosaurus went straight to the point: "Inject your magic into that doll. This will project the other half of your soul directly, allowing it to meet you in reality. And if you can defeat that other you one-on-one, you might be able to fully master that power."

Chapter 345 A Deadly Battle Within the Reality Marble! Shirou VS. Heroic Spirit Emiya!

Shirou was surprised by Ankylosaurus's words. He never expected that the other party would create such an amazing thing that could materialize a soul.

It is important to know that the human soul is the most wondrous thing in the world. Ordinary people cannot even understand the concept of the soul, let alone forcibly project it into reality.

It must have involved some uncommon techniques, perhaps even legendary secret arts, and may have required some price to pay.

Shirou felt he could never repay the kindness shown to him by the Ankylosaurus, and could only keep his gratitude hidden in his heart.

As for whether Ankylosaurus might harm him, Shirou hadn't even considered that possibility. After all, even if Ankylosaurus harbored ill intentions towards him, Shirou had no other choice at the moment. Mastering Unlimited Blade Works was the only way he could convince his family to participate in the civil war in the Kingdom of Asura.

"Is it simply a matter of putting magic into it?"

"Yes."

The Ankylosaurus King spoke with great arrogance, even boastfulness: "After my own adjustments, the entire device is now quite perfect. No complicated operations are needed. It only needs to detect your magic power, and it will automatically separate the extra half of your soul. This technology originally belonged to the ancient dragon race, and now, I am probably the only one in the world who can master it."

"I understand."

Shirou nodded in response to Ankylosaurus's explanation.

Although he still had a slight hesitation and wavering in his heart, and was not yet fully prepared to face the Heroic Spirit Emiya, reality did not give him time to make such preparations. Every second that passed could put Ariel in danger, and the civil war in the Kingdom of Asura could end.

So he didn't engage in any further conversation or ask about the possible consequences and side effects of using the device. He simply stepped forward and injected his magic into it.

"..."

Upon seeing Shirou's decisive action, Ankylosaurus's eyes and pupils widened slightly; he clearly hadn't expected Shirou to be so resolute.

But he then nodded in approval, his eyes showing clear appreciation, and he became even more convinced that his choice was correct and that his efforts would not be in vain.

"Boom!"

At the same time, as Shirou poured a massive amount of magical power into the doll in front of him, an astonishing storm suddenly formed before him.

Then, the doll's appearance kept changing, and finally a tall, white-haired man with brown skin and wearing a red bodysuit slowly appeared in front of Shirou.

That was undoubtedly the figure of the Heroic Spirit Emiya!

After materializing, the Heroic Spirit Emiya silently struck a pretentious pose, crossed his arms, and looked around thoughtfully before saying, "Looks like you've finally decided to face me directly."

"I'm here to defeat you."

Without hesitation, Shirou looked firmly at the Heroic Spirit Emiya before him.

There seemed to be sparks flying between the two sides; the mere moment they met, a chilling atmosphere instantly descended upon the scene.

"Really? You think you can beat me now?"

Emiya smiled and looked at Shirou, "This is the first time I've ever been looked down upon like this."

"No matter what you think, it doesn't matter. There's only one thing I need to do: defeat you and then go save the people I want to save!"

As Shirou spoke, he placed his hand directly on the longsword at his waist.

Emiya didn't take it seriously, but he didn't underestimate it either. Instead, he silently watched Shirou's direction and then slowly raised his right hand.

"Since you want to come, then give it a try. I'm very curious to know whether the power you've found after abandoning the path of justice is true power."

"I'll prove it to you!"

"Talking is useless."

Emiya spoke silently, and then an astonishing magical power suddenly erupted from his body.

Azure flames suddenly ignited from all directions and began to spread rapidly in all directions, engulfing everything.

Upon seeing this, Shirou's expression immediately turned serious, and he did not make any attempt to interrupt.

Because he knew that he had to defeat the Heroic Spirit Emiya head-on, and Emiya at full strength, in order to prove that his path was not wrong, and was even more correct than Emiya's.

This will certainly be an extremely difficult task, but Shirou has no other choice; it is something he must accomplish!

At the same time, the familiar incantation was quickly recited by the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

“IAmTheBoneOfMySword”.

(This body was formed from a sword)

"."

(Blood tide as iron, heart as crystal)

"."

(More than a thousand swords have been made by hand)

"UnknownToDeath".

(Not knowing what death is)

"NorKnownToLife".

(He also did not know what life was.)

"."

(He often stood atop the hill of swords, reveling in victory.)

"."

(Therefore, this life has no meaning.)

"."

(Therefore, as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works)

Emiya completed the incantation for Unlimited Blade Works, and the world began to turn upside down.

The blazing furnace and the scorched earth began to replace everything, and the once enclosed environment became an endless sky, which was filled with a hazy smog and giant gears.

Of all those present, only Rudeus had ever witnessed the scenery of Unlimited Blade Works, but he still showed a shocked expression.

The others, such as Paul and Ankylion's familiars, were seeing Unlimited Blade Works for the first time. The moment they saw it, they all widened their eyes and stared in astonishment.

Even Ankylosaurus himself, though he had prepared himself mentally, still showed a shocked expression when he saw Unlimited Blade Works, his heart surging with emotion at this exaggerated barrier magic.

Despite the attitudes of the crowd, the Heroic Spirit Emiya, who had unleashed Unlimited Blade Works, remained calm.

He stood silently atop the highest point of the yellow sand dunes, looking down at Shirou standing before him, and slowly spoke in an inspiring tone: "I have witnessed everything you have experienced over the years. In fact, I have been witnessing everything you have done and watching the choices you have made. I will not comment on your actions, but given your current strength, I do not believe you can win."

"Even if I have defeated the Northern God III and become one of the seven great powers, do you still think so?"

"Hehe, after all, among the seven great powers, apart from that Dragon God, I don't think I would lose to the others."

The Heroic Spirit Emiya spoke with great confidence, brimming with self-assurance regarding his own strength.

Regardless of the expressions of the people present, Shirou's expression was undoubtedly very serious upon hearing his words.

He didn't think that Emiya's words were too arrogant. In fact, after using the Heroic Spirit Card and possessing the power of the Heroic Spirits within himself, he understood better than anyone else in the world the terrifying strength that Emiya possessed.

Even without the power of Unlimited Blade Works, he was already able to contend with the great powers.

The Heroic Spirit Emiya himself can use Unlimited Blade Works, and his strength is definitely no less than that of the top powers!

Even so, Shirou knew that he absolutely could not be afraid, much less admit defeat. He had to overcome everything and defeat all the powerful enemies, including himself!

"I will defeat you and regain control of the power of Unlimited Blade Works!"

"Then let's try it."

The Heroic Spirit Emiya spoke silently, "We understand the weight of this power better than anyone else. If you want to prove that you are qualified to use it, then surpass me, and prove that you are more suitable to be its master than I am, and prove that your path is more correct than mine!"

The moment Emiya's words fell, all the weapons in Unlimited Blade Works emitted a crisp hum, as if it were a manifestation of Emiya's own fighting spirit.

Without hesitation, Shirou drew his sword, ready to fight the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

His current weapon is just an ordinary weapon he forged on the spot; the original Phoenix Dragon Sword was destroyed in the battle with the Third Prince of the North.

But for Shirou now, weapons are no longer a concern.

He had long since transcended the realm of relying on weapons.

Now, as a swordsman, only his own strength is truly reliable!

"boom!"

The next instant, Shirou and the Heroic Spirit Emiya disappeared from their original positions almost simultaneously, and before anyone could keep up with their vision, they suddenly collided.

The clash of swords amidst the sand dunes whips up astonishing amounts of sand, symbolizing the start of a fierce battle between selves and souls!

……

While Shirou battles Emiya, attempting to master the power of the Unlimited Blade Works, something earth-shattering is happening in the distant Kingdom of Asura.

With the fall of the second prince, Halphas, the faction of the first prince, Gravel, completely seized control of the entire kingdom.

And behind the first prince Gravel was undoubtedly the minister Darius.

As the current minister, Darius was severely injured by Shirou in the form of a heroic spirit, and even his lower body was crippled. After that, he remained quiet for a long time.

It is said that he later tried various methods to cure his lower body, but to no avail. Darius originally wanted to seek help from Pope Milis and try to use Milis's divine magic to cure himself, but after Milis learned that Darius was the worst of the worst, he directly blocked him from entering the country and gave him a firm rejection.

This incident enraged Darius, and he became increasingly paranoid.

He began to try every means to gain power and to make the whole world feel his pain.

To this end, he supported the first prince, Gravel, and suppressed the second prince, Halphas. He also plotted to assassinate the second princess, Ariel.
