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

Page 237

"..."

Shirou never expected that this Demon King was such a love-obsessed person. He wasn't exactly uninterested in romance, but he wasn't overly concerned about it either.

For him now, the pursuit of greater power is his only goal.

"Anyway, since it was my stupid nephew who taught you this method, I won't say anything more. But there's one more thing I'm concerned about, and that's the armor you're wearing."

Budigandi pointed at Shirou's armor, "This armor is made of the kind of material that can absorb magic and battle aura, right? This stuff is usually only used as a fortress material in war. Who made you use it as armor? It's quite heavy, isn't it?"

"Well, it is indeed very heavy."

Shirou nodded silently, "But this is the armor the Sword God gave me. He hopes that I can wield the Blade of Light while wearing this armor."

"A sword god? Wielding a katana of light while wearing armor?"

Even the Demon King Badigandi was taken aback by Shirou's words.

The other person stared at Shirou closely for a few moments, then spoke with increasing disbelief: "The Sword God, the Northern God, my fiancée, and even that guy... Shirou, you have way too many backers behind you, don't you?"

In response to Badigandi's words, Shirou simply replied calmly, "The Sword God wants me to defeat the Dragon God, which is why he trains me with such demands."

"Defeat the Dragon God? The Dragon God you're talking about is Orsteed?"

"Yes."

"hiss……"

Upon hearing Shirou's words, even Badigandi couldn't help but show a strange expression, as if he were looking at a madman who was about to jump off a cliff.

But he quickly regained his senses and said quietly, "Now I finally understand why you humans always give me the feeling of fighting so hard. So that's it. If you want to take the Dragon God as your opponent, you have to risk one or two lives. There is no chance of even one in ten thousand. Hahahaha."

"indeed so."

"Alright, since that's the case, I'll teach you something. After all, I owe you a favor."

"Favor?"

Shirou doesn't remember when Badigandi owed him a favor.

Budigandi then spoke up on his own: "Long ago, I was known as the Wise Demon King. Therefore, I was originally more skilled in magic than in martial arts, so I can teach you how to cast spells more effectively."

"Will you teach me magic?"

"Of course, with my skill level, I can easily cast even the king-level or even emperor-level magic of your human race."

"This……"

Shirou didn't doubt that Badigandi could do what he said, but the problem was that he didn't know why the other man wanted to teach him magic.

Before he could even ask, Badigandi had already begun teaching him magic, even explaining the nature of magic directly to him.

The Demon King's teaching was indeed exaggerated, and it could be said that it instantly enlightened Shirou.

If the magic taught by Lokishi and Principal Genas was merely rudimentary, then the magical knowledge described by Badigandi was like opening the door to a new world.

When he came to his senses, Shirou had completely immersed himself in learning magic and felt his magical abilities improving rapidly.

Chapter 314 The complete form of [The Distant Ideal Land] is forged!

Budigandi didn't teach Shirou magic for very long, but the improvement Shirou received from his teachings was incredibly rapid.

It's possible that the opponent, being a demon king, was extremely skilled in magic, or perhaps Shirou's own accumulation had reached a critical point, resulting in his rapid absorption speed.

In short, under Badigandi's tutelage, Shirou quickly mastered Saint-level earth and fire magic.

The earth-attribute holy-level magic is called [Sandstorm]. Its effect is to stir up sand and dust, unleashing an astonishingly strong wind and gravel that covers the surrounding area. Not only will it obstruct vision, but it will also make it difficult to breathe. In essence, it is a combination of earth magic and wind magic.

The fire-attribute holy-level magic is called [Infernal Flame Bullet]. It is created by highly compressing flames, condensing terrifying flames into a fireball, and causing extremely terrifying spread damage after it explodes. It is also a product of the combination of fire and wind attribute magic.

According to Badigandi, once you reach the Saint level, it's rare to find magic created from a single element; it's usually a combination of magic from different elements.

The reason Shirou was stuck on advanced magic and unable to improve further was because he focused too much on magic of a single attribute and forgot that magic needs to be developed comprehensively in order to make progress.

Therefore, under Badigandi's guidance, Shirou's magic has undergone a comprehensive development this time.

Not only fire and earth magic, but even water and wind magic were raised to the intermediate level, which allowed them to complete the Saint-level [Sandstorm] and [Infernal Flame Bullet].

It was only at this moment that Shirou realized that his sword magic had been in the realm of mixed magic from the very beginning.

After further development, his sword magic was essentially a type of Saint-level magic.

Shirou could have easily claimed to be an Earth Saint-level mage or a Fire Saint-level mage, but because sword magic is relatively simple and lacks the exaggerated destructive power and extreme environmental impact of other Saint-level magic, laymen wouldn't accept it even if he said so.

Only seasoned magicians would realize just how extraordinary Shirou's sword magic truly is.

In any case, Shirou now possesses the strength of a Saint-level mage.

Although he simply couldn't use sword magic without casting a spell.

However, there are very few magicians in this world who can perform spells without chanting. The only magicians Shirou knows who can perform spells without chanting are Rudeus and Fitz.

When the dragon god Austerd was first encountered, he had to chant a simple incantation before casting his magic.

Huh? Come to think of it, the Silphi I met in Buena Village back then also seems to know magic without chanting?

Speaking of which, Fitz and Sylphie...

I feel like there's some kind of coincidence involved.

Shirou suddenly thought of a possibility, but he wasn't entirely sure, so he could only keep the idea to himself for the time being and find an opportunity to verify it later.

Incidentally, Badigand also asked Shirou about Unlimited Blade Works.

Badigandi seems to have mistakenly believed that the Unlimited Blade Works that Shirou used at the time was a type of barrier magic.

While Unlimited Blade Works is indeed a Reality Marble, it is quite different from the barrier magic of this world. This is because the latter is essentially an external manifestation of the mental world, a sublimation of personal spirit, and not a barrier magic purely based on technical skill.

Since he had already demonstrated the power of Unlimited Blade Works to this Demon Lord, Shirou didn't hide much and explained the abilities of Unlimited Blade Works quite frankly, while also mentioning the problem that he couldn't use Unlimited Blade Works smoothly at the moment.

"Well, I don't know much about barrier magic, but I think there's someone who definitely does."

"who is it?"

"Perkius, the Ankylosaurus King, is currently the only god-level mage in this world, and also an authority on summoning magic and barrier magic. If it's a question about barrier magic, he can definitely answer it for you."

"King Ankylosaurus..."

Shirou had naturally heard of this person's name.

Or rather, within the Kingdom of Asura, this was a fact known to everyone.

If he had the ability to discuss barrier magic with such a person, Shirou would naturally be willing, but only if the other person was willing to talk to him.

At least Shirou didn't think he was capable of getting close to such important figures.

After learning of Shirou's thoughts, Badigandi showed an ambiguous expression.

But he didn't pay much attention to it, just smiled and patted Shirou on the shoulder, and then, just like before, he disappeared without a trace.

Shirou didn't care about this and continued practicing magic by himself for a while before returning to his blacksmith workshop, where he immediately spotted Nana.

The other person seems to have a subconscious tendency to mess up their surroundings; their room was always a mess before.

Shirou's forging workshop was originally very clean and tidy, but after only two days since Shichisei arrived, it has become a messy doghouse.

Juliet spends all her time cleaning every day, but it's still not as much as Seven's antics.

Despite the terrible environment, the research on the Seven Stars seems to have yielded fruitful results.

The other party's preliminary plan for the distant ideal world was almost exactly what Shirou longed for, making him very glad that he had asked the other party for help.

The reason it went so smoothly was because Shichisei himself had some understanding of the concept of Noble Phantasms.

Compared to most people in this world, Shichisei has a clear understanding of Shirou's world, so he can fully understand many ideas even without Shirou describing them. He is a very capable helper, and he will do things on his own without Shirou having to say anything.

Of course, it would be even better if the other party could avoid making the room so messy.

Shirou returned to the forging workshop, intending only to check on the progress of the Seven Stars, but to his surprise, as soon as he entered, he saw the black-haired girl stand up excitedly and exclaim, "Alright, the final design is now complete. Hmm, Avalon must have this function!"

"what?"

Shirou looked completely bewildered by the Seven Stars' mutterings.

Seven Stars immediately turned around, a happy smile on his face, and said, "I have completed the design of all the functions of Avalon, including the ability to integrate into the body and become one with the holder!"

"Huh? They can even do something like that?"

"Yes, fortunately, Orsteed had shown me a similar technique before. It seems to be some kind of secret art that the dragons used to possess."

"The secret techniques of the dragon race..."

Shirou felt inexplicably uneasy about Seven Stars's use of Orsteed's skills to help him.

If he were to fight Orstide in the future and his skills were exposed, Orstide might discover the Seven Stars' betrayal, leading to the Seven Stars being persecuted.

Shirou still doesn't want the people around him to get hurt because of his problems.

However, Shichisei herself seemed to have no such concerns. She simply handed the design to Shirou with great interest and asked him to forge it.

Seeing that Shichihoshi looked even more excited about the finished product than he did, Shirou, though still harboring some reservations, ultimately couldn't refuse.

He then voiced his concerns, and as expected, they were not taken seriously by Qi Xing himself.

The girl seemed completely oblivious to how terrifying it was to betray the Dragon God, nonchalantly stating that she didn't care at all, and then settled down in the forging workshop on her own.

Yes, the forging workshop is probably larger than Seven Stars' own laboratory, and with Juliet serving him, he has no intention of moving out and has completely made this place his home.

Since the forging workshop was a large space, and Juliet liked the Seven Stars quite a bit without any complaints, Shirou naturally didn't bother to send her away and let her stay there.

There might be another reason why the Seven Stars stayed: they fell in love with Shirou's... cooking.

Yes, Shichihoko already knew that Shirou was good at cooking. After tasting the food Shirou made for the first time, her eyes lit up. She looked like she wouldn't complain even if she were to be transported to another world to eat Shirou's cooking.

Shirou even suspected that if the other person continued like this, they might not want to go back to their original world anymore.

Regardless, Shirou was still very grateful for Nana's help. Having someone who knew his true identity by his side made him feel very relaxed.

Soon, Shirou devoted himself entirely to forging the Noble Phantasm, Avalon.

The design of the Seven Stars is very complex.

On the surface, it may seem like just adding some simple magic circles during the forging process, but in reality, each magic circle is subtly connected to the others, and there are even some exaggerated magic circles that Shirou himself cannot understand or analyze.

At first, he was able to imitate the design and create the magic circle required by the Seven Stars.

But later, even his own abilities reached their limit, and he had to seek help from Principal Genius.

Principal Genius had no interest in forging, so he had never paid any attention to Shirou's forging workshop. However, after hearing about the magic circle, he rushed over to help, only to find himself in the same predicament as Shirou.

Unexpectedly, even a king-level mage like Shirou struggled to complete the carving of the seven-star magic circle, leaving him in a dilemma.

Left with no other choice, Shirou had to resort to a human wave tactic, gathering every magician he could find to help him complete the creation of the magic circle.

Fortunately, this is a magic university, where magicians are plentiful.

Moreover, given Shirou's reputation, most magicians would not refuse his request, and Shirou generously offered to pay him.

Therefore, countless Palu recruits soon came to answer the call.

Rudius and Fitz were naturally among them.

Compared to ordinary mages, Rudeus and Fitz, two mages who do not chant, performed far better.

Carving a magic circle is an extremely difficult task that requires a lot of effort. If the incantation step can be omitted, the efficiency of completing the magic circle can be greatly improved.

"By the way, Shirou, what kind of gadget are you trying to create?"

Because Shirou's forging was so loud, even Princess Ariel was attracted to it.

Upon arriving, she was immediately surprised by the enormous forging workshop, and then she inquired without hesitation about Shirou's forging goals.

"Uh, I guess it's a magical item..."

In order to prevent Ariel from realizing his relationship with Muramasa, Shirou naturally wouldn't admit that he was forging weapons, but instead used the forging of magical items as a cover.

In fact, Avalon is more like a magical artifact than a weapon, so it's not really a mistake.

"A magical item?"

Upon hearing this answer, Ariel nodded thoughtfully. "Is there a funding gap? Perhaps I can help."

"In this regard... Principal Genius has already given me a lot of help."

"Hey, that stingy principal is actually willing to help you?"

Ariel's eyes revealed obvious suspicion, and she was surprised by Shirou's identity.

Shirou scratched his head awkwardly.
