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

Page 251

When another batch of monsters came before her, Loki was almost ready to give up, and even considered giving up on survival and simply facing death.

But this thought only lasted a moment, quickly succumbing to the fear of death.

Because she knew that if she died, her body would never be found, and she would leave no belongings.

One's own death will leave nothing behind.

It was a true nothingness, a kind of fear so intense that it made one cry out, tremble uncontrollably, and feel an absolute unwillingness to accept the outcome.

Since becoming an adventurer, Loki had witnessed countless deaths and seen many people die before her very eyes. Strong warriors were cleaved in two by monsters like withered trees, and clever mages were crushed like tomatoes by monsters. There were also talented thieves, swift and agile swordsmen... all of these people lost their lives in front of her.

Therefore, Loki thought she was ready to face death, thinking that one day it would be her turn, but when it actually came, her heart was completely filled with fear.

I haven't achieved any goals yet, but there are things I want to try and dreams I want to realize.

Yes, a dream, a dream of becoming a teacher.

Since meeting Shirou and Rudeus, she has discovered that she enjoys teaching others. Although she lacks the talent to be a teacher, she still enjoys teaching others.

So she had already planned that after the Great Transfer was over and Miss Senis was successfully rescued, she would go to the Magic University to take the teaching exam and become a teacher at the school.

If possible, she would also like to experience the happiness of so-called ordinary people.

That's right. Once you become a teacher, you should have the opportunity to get married, marry the man you like, live together, and spend passionate nights together. Although you are a demon and look as small as a child, at least you still have a chance.

"Ha ha……"

As her thoughts drifted to this point, Luo Qixi couldn't help but laugh at herself.

In this situation, it's a wonder I can still think of those unrealistic dreams.

I will die here, without the chance to fulfill my dream, and will simply disappear meaninglessly like a blade of grass.

The thought of this suddenly sent a wave of immense terror through my body.

...I don't want to die.

I don't want to die here.

I want to survive. (Flirtatious)

Driven by a desire to resist death, Loki gripped her wand tightly. Even knowing she was doomed, she desperately squeezed out the last of her magic power to unleash a spell.

"The armor of the majestic earth surrounds me—Earth Fortress!"

"Water droplets fall and scatter, covering the world with water—water vapor!"

Having completed all preparations, Loki faced the endless stream of monsters and decisively waved her magic wand, shouting, "Goddess of the Azure descending from the heavens, wield your staff and freeze the world—Ice Domain!"

The monster's surface began to freeze rapidly after being hit by the water droplets.

Beneath the narrow path, the monsters had almost no way to escape the limitations of magic.

Loki then seized the opportunity to unleash her final magic.

"The Frost King, the overlord of the vast snowfields. Clad in pure white, the Zero King who steals all heat. The ice king who rules over death will freeze everything—Ice Lance Blizzard!"

The magic unleashed countless ice spears, attacking in a radial pattern.

The ice spear bypassed the frozen enemy vanguard and pierced the other monsters behind it.

This attack instantly wiped out a large number of monsters.

But before Loki could even breathe a sigh of relief, other monsters poured out of the teleportation magic circle one after another. The new monsters stepped over the dead monsters and moved forward, quickly making up for the lost combat power.

In the blink of an eye, the room was filled with monsters again.

Luo Qixi's heart was also completely filled with despair.

She still had a sliver of magic left to use in battle, but faced with the endless hordes of monsters, she was gradually losing even the courage to fight back.

To simply reduce the agonizing struggle and directly face a clean and swift death...

The moment the thought occurred to her, Luo Qixi slowed down.

In that brief moment of stagnation, the monsters seized the opportunity and surged towards her like a tidal wave. The swarm of insects with their hard shells possessed terrifying destructive power, and once a mage like Lokishi was brought close, it was almost impossible for her to mount any effective counterattack.

"no, do not want……!"

Loki waved her wand wildly, displaying her utterly pathetic state. Her despair reached its limit, and she instinctively closed her eyes, her mind filled with images from the past.

There were happy moments, sad moments, and even stories from the village of Buyena.

If I hadn't gone to Buyena village and hadn't participated in the Great Migration, would things have turned out differently?

This thought instinctively arose in Luo Qixi's mind.

But strangely, she found that she didn't feel any regret, only a deep sense of sorrow for such a tragic outcome...

If she had the chance to do it all over again, she would still make the same choice: to go to Buena village and meet those kind-hearted people once more.

The moment she realized this, Luo Qixi felt relieved.

Even the fear of death no longer existed at this moment.

What puzzled her was that, for some reason, death did not ultimately occur.

Those monsters that were so close should have torn her body apart, leaving no trace, but in reality, not a single sound was uttered.

Did I die instantly, or am I already dead?

The thought instinctively formed in Luo Qixi's mind, and she opened her eyes.

What came into view was a scene that defied description.

A streak of sword light appeared to strike from a great distance, yet it seemed to arrive nearby in an instant.

"Pfft!"

With a crisp sound, all the monsters froze instantly.

The moment Luo Qixi opened her eyes, what she witnessed was the scene of countless demons being torn apart by a single sword strike.

The monsters' hard, iron-like shells were like fragile paper in front of the sharp sword light, completely unable to withstand it.

Whether it was the Crimson Spider, the Steel Crawler, or the Mad Skeleton... after a brief pause, its body began to collapse from the inside out, instantly cleaved into thousands of pieces by the exaggerated swordsmanship. Luo Qixi even suspected that the core of the monster had been completely shattered.

For Loki, even the most powerful magic she could use could not shatter the core of a monster to such an extent.

That swordsmanship is probably beyond imagination.

Loki rarely came into contact with powerful swordsmen, but as an adventurer, she had heard of the legends of the Sword God School.

It is said that the swords wielded by swordsmen of the King level or above are not only so fast that the human eye cannot keep up with them, but the sword energy after extreme acceleration can also easily cut through even fine steel and rocks.

Although Luo Qixi did not witness the whole process, just seeing this result was enough to almost confirm that the newcomer was definitely a Sword King.

"……what?"

But why would the mighty Sword King appear here?

Luo Qixi knew a little about the Sword God School and knew that there were fewer than two people in the world with the strength of Sword King or above. Apart from Sword Gods and Sword Emperors, there were only about two or three people who truly possessed the strength of Sword King.

Most of them inherit the Sword God style in the Holy Land of Swords, do not go out, and rarely become adventurers.

The only Sword King who acts as an adventurer is none other than the former S-rank adventurer, Black Wolf Sword King Kyrie Irwin.

Did Paul and his companions invite Gilead?

Did Gilead save him?

As soon as the thought crossed Luo Qixi's mind, she quickly dismissed it, because she had already seen that the figure in front of her was not a woman, but a young man holding a long sword.

The moment Luo Qixi saw the other person, her heart instinctively raced, and she heard a thud in her chest.

If Luo Qixi was still too young and didn't quite understand what longing felt like before, she now completely understands this feeling.

On the other side, the moment Shirou saw Rocchi, he found that she was standing still.

He was startled, thinking the other person might be injured somewhere, so he rushed over immediately and asked anxiously, "Are you hurt anywhere?"

"No, no, I'm fine..."

Luo Qixi realized the other party had misunderstood and quickly responded.

Shirou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He then smiled and said, "It was such a close call. Luckily, the distance between us wasn't far, and we made it in time by rushing at full speed. If you, Luo Qixi, had died, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life."

"Huh? You know my name?"

Luo Qixi froze, a look of surprise on her face.

Shirou was also at a loss for words until he saw his reflection in the girl's pupils and realized the reason.

Because so much time has passed, Shirou has long since grown from the boy from Buena Village into a more mature young man than in his previous life.

He's almost as tall as Emiya now.

Luo Qixi naturally couldn't recognize him.

Shirou instinctively wanted to explain, but in the next instant, he suddenly pulled Rocchi into his arms.

"Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?!"

Luo Qixi was startled.

Most importantly, she realized that she hadn't showered for over a month and must be incredibly smelly. She tried desperately to push Shirou away, but found that he was holding her shoulders firmly and showed no intention of letting go.

Does this stranger have some strange fetish? If that's the case, perhaps I could accept it...

Luo Qixi was filled with complex thoughts.

She soon realized that Shirou hadn't suddenly hugged her because of any fetish.

The reason the other party did this was because they were wary of a figure emerging from the darkness.

It was a young man with black hair, who was pushing open a stone wall and walking over.

"Boom."

The walls, no matter how thick, were like fragile tiles in his hands, easily torn apart.

At the same time, he seemed to know what was happening here, and said to Shirou, "Oh my, I never thought there was such an outstanding hero as you in this world. I noticed the girl's danger just now, but I was not as fast as you. It seems that I am still far from my father's level and need to be trained more before I can become a great hero who can realize all justice in the world and complete all good deeds."

"you are?"

Shirou looked at the newcomer with a puzzled expression, feeling a sense of familiarity with the black-haired youth.

Without the slightest hesitation, the latter replied immediately, "Oh, I haven't given my name yet, my apologies. My name is Alexander Rebek, an adventurer passing through this place!"

Chapter 328 Alexander the Great III? Shirou and Alexander the Great's Debate on Justice!

"Alexander Rebek?"

Upon hearing the name, Shirou felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place any famous person associated with it.

Moreover, judging from the other party's appearance, they certainly don't seem to be anything special.

The other party was not only dressed in an ordinary adventurer's trench coat, but also carried two sword sheaths like most Northern God Swordsmen. He looked travel-worn, as if he had been trapped in this teleportation labyrinth for a long time. The only special thing about him was that there were almost no traces of monster blood on him.

Even a ranged mage like Lokishi would have been covered in the blood of monsters, yet Alexander appeared completely untouched by battle, which was undoubtedly perplexing.

Besides that, what bothered Shirou the most was the scene of his opponent tearing the stone wall apart with his bare hands. Although it wasn't anything extraordinary, Shirou could easily tear such a wall apart with a single sword strike. The problem was that his opponent's movements were far too effortless, as if he hadn't used even a trace of extra strength, as easily as casually flipping a piece of paper.

Moreover, the sword behind the young man named Alexander was also unusually large. Although it was still sheathed, it was so big that it was not like an ordinary weapon, but more like a huge battle axe.

Because Alexander wasn't particularly tall, his enormous sword sheath almost dragged on the ground...

As Shirou observed Alexander before him and felt a slight sense of apprehension, Alexander himself stepped forward with great optimism.

At the same time, the huge scabbard on his back dragged along the ground with his steps, leaving long tracks on the narrow road.

"Oh dear, this place is really narrow."

Alexander seemed to have opinions about his surroundings.

He then casually made a gesture of drawing his sword.

Although the opponent did not draw the sword from its sheath, but instead swung it along with the sheath, the speed was so fast that it was almost impossible for the naked eye to keep up.

"Boom."

Before Luo Qixi could even see what was happening, she discovered that a huge gap had been cleaved open in the narrow passageway by a single sword strike, and the intense sword energy surge had carved out a long path.

It can create such power without even drawing the sword!

She couldn't help but cover her mouth, unable to believe what had just happened.
