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

Page 183

In that brief moment of collision, Shirou even felt that the opponent's pure power was greater than that of the immortal demon king Atofi, whom he had once encountered.

But how is that possible?

How can a human possess physical strength surpassing that of a demon king?

Not to mention that Zanaba doesn't seem to have undergone rigorous training; his physique is definitely not something he developed through training, but rather something innate.

Thinking of this, Shirou suddenly recalled a rumor he had heard in the Holy Kingdom of Milis.

After rescuing his aunt Theresa, Shirou was curious about one thing: the girl named Miko whom Theresa was protecting.

Despite being a young girl, she seemed to possess the power to shake the entire Holy Kingdom of Milis.

Shirou was already puzzled at that time, but because things happened so suddenly, he didn't have time to ask about the specific situation before parting ways with the girl.

Later, Shirou privately inquired about the concept of a divine child.

This explains why the so-called Son of God had such a huge influence on the Holy Kingdom of Milis.

Simply put, some children in this world are born different.

When we talk about abnormalities, we might think of deformed children, but most of those children look quite normal.

Conversely, one can only be considered average if one's appearance is the only factor.

They are born with special abilities.

For example, they can be exceptionally fast, exceptionally strong, have more sensitive hearing than others, be as light as a feather or conversely, be extremely heavy, freeze anything they touch, breathe fire, shoot poison from their fingertips, teleport short distances instantly, shoot light from their eyes, be immune to all poisons, not get tired even after a whole day without sleeping, and not go limp even when sleeping with hundreds of women at the same time, etc.

Children born with extraordinary abilities like these seem to be called "divine children" in this world.

Of course, not every divine child possesses great power.

Some children are born with meaningless abilities, and may not even realize they have special abilities until they die.

At the same time, some children possess abilities that are almost like side effects, causing various catastrophic tragedies after birth.

Such children have names that are the opposite of divine children, such as cursed children.

Of course, that's not something we need to know right now.

In short, the existence of the divine child is not special to the people of this world. They are just superpowered individuals who are born by chance among tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of people.

The Divine Child of the Holy Kingdom of Milis is one of them, and possesses a special ability that can shake the entire Holy Kingdom of Milis.

After learning about the concept of a divine child, Shirou has now encountered Prince Zanoba of Shilon and suspects that he may also be a divine child.

Otherwise, the abnormality in the other party's power level cannot be explained.

Shirou's idea was quickly proven true.

After seeing that Shirou had not been defeated by his punch, Zanaba showed a shocked expression and said, "It's unbelievable. This is the first time I've seen someone withstand my punch. The fragile human body should not be able to withstand the monstrous strength of this divine child."

Zanaba acknowledged his status as a divine son.

In fact, Zanaba was not only a divine child, but also possessed superhuman strength and an extremely strong and tough body, in other words, he was invulnerable to weapons.

Of course, while it is said to be invulnerable to swords and spears, it is actually only effective against fragile weapons like swords and spears.

Once the power reaches a certain level, even his physical body will not be able to withstand it.

Shirou confirmed this, a knowing look on his face, and silently replied, "It's because of the armor I'm wearing; it can help me withstand damage."

"Oh? Armor? There are such special things?"

Zanaba's eyes brightened slightly.

He seemed very interested in armor and even wanted to discuss it further with Shirou.

But before that, Zanaba clearly hadn't forgotten that the two were still fighting, and he quickly got into a fighting stance again, looking like he was about to fight Shirou.

Seeing this, Shirou shook his head and said, "Forget it, you're no match for me."

"It's rare to be underestimated like this. I, the prince, am known as the Prince Who Raises His Head."

Although Zanobá spoke arrogantly, there was a strange sense of self-mockery in his tone.

Shirou didn't understand why the other party's attitude was so strange, but he showed through his actions why he thought Zanova was no match for him.

"Wow!"

As Shirou swung his demonic sword Muramasa.

His sword god style techniques were fully unleashed.

The speed of the Light Blade is so fast that the naked eye cannot keep up with it.

Although Zanova possessed superhuman strength, he was clearly no match for the Sword God style in terms of speed. Shirou easily outmaneuvered him and struck him with a single sword strike.

"Pfft!"

Although Zanaba's body is tougher than that of an ordinary person, he is clearly not immune to pain. Moreover, Shirou's swordsmanship did not stop there, and in the blink of an eye, he swung dozens more swords!

"!!!"

What seems like a long time has actually been just a moment.

Shirou silently sheathed his longsword.

Zanaba was covered in wounds, bleeding profusely, and collapsed to the ground with great effort.

"That's why I said you're no match for me. Although the power of the Divine Child makes you naturally strong, you lack skills and training, so that's all."

"That's right, I lost."

Zanaba knelt on the ground, a bitter expression on his face.

However, he didn't seem to care much about winning or losing the battle, and accepted his defeat quite easily.

Shirou became increasingly puzzled by this peculiar prince of the Kingdom of Shilon, wondering what burden he carried that led him to participate in a battle he was destined to lose.

But he didn't have time to care about other people's affairs; what was more important now was to leave with Lilia and Aisha.

After witnessing Shirou defeat even the divine child Zanova, the knights of the Kingdom of Shilon completely lost their will to fight, and all of them showed expressions of despair.

Shirou protected Lillia and Aisha as they walked step by step towards the outside of the palace.

Along the way, I saw many important figures resembling those from the Kingdom of Xilong, and it even seemed that the king of that country was among them.

But Shirou didn't care at all and continued to do what he had to do.

The Kingdom of Xilong dared not provoke this powerful plague god, and let him leave with his people without even thinking of sending anyone to stop him.

Shirou successfully led Lillia and Aisha away from the palace, achieving the feat of fighting against an entire nation single-handedly.

……

After Shirou brought Lillia and Aysha back to the inn, he completely relaxed and talked with Lillia and her daughter about what had happened during this time.

He learned that Lilia and Aisha were directly transferred to the Kingdom of Xilong due to the effects of the Great Transfer.

Because of the influence that Loki had once left in this country, the mother and daughter were not initially treated badly. In fact, because the Kingdom of Xilong thought that Loki might return at any time, they were treated fairly well.

However, as Lokishi's absence continued for longer and longer, the Kingdom of Xilong gradually lost interest in the mother and daughter and began to treat them casually.

At this moment, Prince Pakus seized the opportunity and, in order to obtain clues about Loki, forcibly placed Lilia and Aisha under his jurisdiction and imprisoned them immediately.

Parkus was not originally capable of doing so much.

But this prince was very capable. He secretly made connections with the slave market and then used those connections to hire private soldiers, kidnap the soldiers' families, and apparently threatened the soldiers that if they valued their lives, they should obey his orders.

In this situation, Lilia and Aisha were completely powerless to resist.

Although Aisha tried to write to Paul for help, all her attempts were thwarted by Parkus.

It wasn't until Shirou arrived that the mother and daughter were finally freed.

In fact, it wasn't just Lilia and her daughter Aisha who were freed; all of Pakus's soldiers were also liberated thanks to Pakus's punishment.

Shirou's arrow nearly rendered Pakus incapable of taking care of himself. Although he was kept alive, he was practically dead.

The soldiers who had been threatened by Pakus were all overjoyed.

The female knight named Jin Jie even secretly came to find Shirou to express her gratitude.

As for Zanoba.

According to Shirou's inquiries, although the other party is a god's child, he is not well received in this country.

Because Zanoba didn't know how to control his abilities when he was young, he accidentally strangled the king's son to death with his bare hands and then ripped his head off at his birthday banquet.

This earned him the title of "Prince Who Pulls His Head Out".

If the king hadn't valued the power of his divine son, he probably would have executed him long ago.

Zanova was probably spared because of this, so even if she was unwilling, she would still run out to fight Shirou in order to protect the kingdom.

Although Shirou had lost interest in the affairs of the Kingdom of Shiron, the results still reached his ears.

First, the Kingdom of Shiron did everything it could to keep all news from spreading, so that no one would know that Shirou had broken in and taken back Lilia and her daughter Aisha.

Secondly, Pakussilon was exiled by the king for his various crimes.

The divine son Zanopa was also exiled abroad by the king for his inaction, supposedly to study at a magic university.

The reason is probably that after this incident, the king realized that Zanaba's strength was not as great as he had imagined, and he was no longer willing to spend money to raise the child.

But this was only the king's own opinion.

Zanaba was not weak, but he just happened to encounter a counter to the Sword God Style.

If it were to deal with a slower style like the Water God Style, the opponent's unimaginable strength would likely be able to break through any defense.

In short, Shirou has now officially concluded his trip to the Kingdom of Shiron. After settling Lillia and Aisha in, he will embark on another journey.

The next stop is the Kingdom of Asura, which I have been longing to visit for a long time.

At that time, this journey across the world will come to a complete end!

Chapter 249 Young Master Shirou, let Aika be your wife or concubine.

After discussing it with Lillia, Shirou decided to send her and her daughter Aisha to the Holy Kingdom of Milis.

After all, the territory of Fituia no longer exists, so even if the two were sent back to the Kingdom of Asura, they would have nowhere to go.

Although Lilia herself seems to have a family home, she hasn't been back much over the years, so the relationship must have become distant.

It would be better to have Paul help look after them.

Aisha must also want to be by her father's side.

However, when Shirou told Lillia and Aishina about his idea, Lillia naturally didn't react, but Aishina actually seemed very dissatisfied.

Even when she defied her mother, she cried and made a scene, insisting on staying by Shirou's side.

"No, Aisha, you must be obedient and not cause trouble for Master Shirou."

Lilia would naturally not allow her daughter to do something so impactful.

Given the long journey ahead, Shirou and the others couldn't possibly take a young girl with them as a burden; they had to send Aysha to Paul's side.

Aisha, however, was quite unconvinced and stubbornly declared, "I'm not a burden. As a maid, I've done my job perfectly and can help my brother!"

"This……"

Shirou didn't know what to say about Aisha and Lilia's argument.

However, Alice took the initiative to jump out after seeing this scene and came to Aisha's side.

When Aisha and Alice first met, Alice asked about Aisha's identity. After learning that Aisha was Shirou's sister, she seemed to treat Aisha as a sister as well and established a good relationship with her. The two often chatted.

Seeing Aisha's complaints, Alice said quite seriously, "Children need to grow up properly first. Only when they become strong enough can they be of help."

"Sister Alice?"

Aisha was stunned when she realized that Alice would speak to her so seriously.

Alice, with a complicated expression, said, "Don't take other people's help for granted. When you are being protected, you should also think about the people who protect you. They work very hard."

Alice has grown like never before after this journey.

She has completely shed her former arrogant temperament and become as straightforward and easy-going as an ordinary person. She even loses her temper less and less, becomes more and more serious, and learns more and more.

Seeing Alice speaking to her so earnestly, Aisha finally stopped complaining and nodded silently.

"..."

Seeing that Aisha still seemed a little disappointed, Alice couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, when you grow up, Shirou will definitely take you with him. After all, he has always cared about his little sister."
