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

Page 190

Also, the copied Noble Phantasm will be one level lower than the original.

All beings caught within a Reality Marble are enveloped by the Marble and cannot escape it through conventional means.

At the same time, the Reality Marble Unlimited Blade Works itself is the source of Shirou Emiya's abnormal projection ability.

Shirou Emiya is skilled in projection magic, but that is merely a byproduct of his Unlimited Blade Works, a Reality Marble formed from the materialization of his mental landscapes.

Because the Reality Marble contains countless weapons, resembling an armory of thousands, the Heroic Spirit Emiya can easily replicate any weapon he has ever seen in its prototype.

In fact, every weapon that has been copied once is registered within the barrier, and projection magic can create it even without activating the inherent barrier.

This is precisely what makes Unlimited Blade Works so unique.

As long as he is in that space, the Heroic Spirit Emiya can create any weapon he wants an unlimited number of times, and the speed of projection is far beyond that of ordinary state. Even if he releases a thousand or ten thousand weapons in an instant, it is nothing unusual, not to mention that there are A-rank or higher Noble Phantasms among them.

Not only can he freely take out and use the weapons he has stored, but he can also modify the weapons he has stored as he pleases, just like the pseudo-spiral sword. In addition, he can also make use of the property that can be reprojected to shoot out Noble Phantasms instead of arrows that are used and discarded, and then unleash the magical power of the Noble Phantasms in the "Fantasy Collapse" battle technique.

It is precisely because of such powerful skills that the Heroic Spirit Emiya is able to be ranked among the powerful Servants. Although he is not a top-tier Heroic Spirit, he is still a powerful trump card.

Shirou Emiya himself was able to defeat Angelica, who used the Gilgamesh card, and defeat the incarnation of the King of Heroes, only by relying on the power of Unlimited Blade Works.

However, Unlimited Blade Works is not an ability that can be used at will.

While Shirou Emiya did defeat Angelica using Unlimited Blade Works, he paid a severe price for it: the fragile human body could not withstand the immense soul of the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

The Infinite Blade, as the product of Emiya's path reaching its limit, is itself the embodiment of Emiya's soul.

If one cannot take the right path and see the same scenery as Emiya, one cannot truly gain the approval of Unlimited Blade Works.

When Shirou rejected the ideal of being a hero of justice and resolved to protect his sister even if it meant giving up the whole world, he had already suffered a backlash from the spirit of the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

For Emiya, the Heroic Spirit who embodies the embodiment of justice, Shirou's choice is tantamount to a betrayal of his ideals.

Therefore, Unlimited Blade Works, born from the ideal of being a partner of justice, naturally has extremely serious backlash and side effects on Shirou Emiya himself.

The strand of white hair on his forehead now is a manifestation of this influence.

If this continues, Shirou might even have his soul corrupted by the existence of the Heroic Spirit Emiya, becoming a copy of the Heroic Spirit's personality.

He certainly didn't want to see this happen.

But now, he has no other choice.

Faced with Orsteed, who could shatter Noble Phantasms with his bare hands and easily absorb all the light waves released by the Blade of Victory, Shirou had no other options. The only possible way to defeat him was to use Unlimited Blade Works!

Therefore, for the first time since arriving in this world, he chanted the incantation for the barrier—

"IAmTheBoneOfMySword."

"(Body of steel, blood of fire)"

Suddenly, as Shirou chanted the second line of Unlimited Blade Works, an immense amount of magical power erupted from his body. The materialized magical power even transformed into blue flames, surging in all directions and finally turning into scorching energy that seeped into the earth.

"This is……"

Seeing what was happening, both the black-haired girl and Alice, who were not far away, showed nervous expressions.

Both of them felt an extremely exaggerated force expanding continuously, and the extremely hot flames even made their skin feel the high temperature.

The intense heat that even they could feel, Auersted could naturally feel as well.

Moreover, Auersted's feelings were even more pronounced.

He could clearly feel a power emanating from Shirou that even made him tremble.

If that power were to be released, it would be an extremely bad thing!

Therefore, the instant the thought occurred to him, Orsteed acted almost without hesitation and rushed toward Shirou, who was chanting!

"!!!"

Shirou was unable to stop Orsteed from interrupting his chanting.

Unlimited Blade Works has one major weakness: its casting time is too long.

At this moment, he was unable to put up any resistance and could only do his best to defend against the opponent's attack!

"Snapped!"

The purple, petal-shaped shield reappeared.

Shirou chose to project the Sevenfold Ring of the Blazing Sky to counter Orsteed, attempting to use this most powerful defensive Noble Phantasm of the Heroic Spirit Emiya to withstand Orsteed's attack.

Meanwhile, his chanting continued—

"(More than a thousand swords have been handcrafted.)"

"UnawareOfBeginning. (Beginning unknown)"

"Nor AwareOfTheEnd."

As soon as the words were spoken, the power of the inherent barrier began to affect reality.

The once desolate, pitch-black lower jaw of the crimson dragon is now gradually changing color, revealing a desolate and boundless plain covered with yellow sand.

Shirou seized the time to continue chanting, trying to chant the complete Unlimited Blade Works lyrics even faster.

But before that, the dragon god Orsteed had already appeared before him.

"boom!"

Alsteed made no unnecessary moves, simply throwing a punch.

Shirou sensed the Kitakami-ryu technique on that fist.

The last time I experienced this feeling was when I faced the immortal demon king Atofi.

Orsteed actually knows the Northern God Style's ultimate technique, the Absolute Slash Northern God Style, which only Atofi would use!

"Boom!"

At the moment the devastating strike erupted, Shirou could even clearly see the space being shattered, and the moment his fist touched the Sevenfold Ring of the Blazing Heaven, the thick, wall-like shield instantly turned into sand and disappeared.

"boom!"

The moment the shield shattered, Orsteed seized the opportunity and took a step directly towards Shirou!

His right hand was still pointing towards Shirou, while his left hand was first placed at his waist. Then, he assumed the stance for the "Ten-Zan" move and swung it towards Shirou's heart...

There was clearly no sword.

It's simply using your hand as a sword.

But Shirou sensed a violence in it that was many times more exaggerated than that of Atofi!

"……Well!"

His instinct was to choose to avoid it, but the chanting of Unlimited Blade Works could not be interrupted.

Caught in a dilemma, Shirou was unable to move and was ultimately struck directly by Alsterd's iron fist!

"Kacha!"

That was the sound of flesh and skeleton being pulverized.

Orsteed punched Shirou in the chest.

The next second, the other party began to move away from Shirou's sight at an astonishing speed, or rather, everything was moving away from Shirou at an extremely fast speed.

Immediately afterwards, heaven and earth began to reverse.

The scene initially appeared fragmented and lacked proper understanding.

"—!!"

Before he could even form a single thought, Shirou was sent flying, bouncing repeatedly along the narrow path of the red dragon's jaw before crashing straight into the ground with an unbelievable roar.

"Ah...cough..."

Consciousness reconnected.

But Shirou would rather not stay awake.

The moment consciousness returned, a pain as if his internal organs were being torn apart surged through his entire body.

Almost no part of his body remained intact.

The internal organs were shattered beyond repair.

If it weren't for his Heroic Spirit form, Shirou would probably have met with physical death instantly.

"ended."

Alsteed calmly clenched his fist.

Shirou was at a loss.

The biggest flaw of Unlimited Blade Works was exploited by the opponent, who interrupted the incantation before it could be completed.

This fact left Shirou helpless, feeling an indescribable sense of powerlessness.

In the end, we still couldn't defeat such a terrifying opponent.

"Have you given up?"

Looking at Shirou's immobile state, Orsteed revealed a cold expression, "Very well, then obediently die, apostle of God and man."

"..."

Shirou could not refute Orsteed's words, nor did he want to.

He didn't care whether it was a human god or a dragon god.

For him, there was only one belief: to protect the people he wanted to protect.

Therefore, even if his body is shattered and his bones are broken, what he wants to do will not change!

"Cough, cough, cough!"

However, before Shirou could even move, thick blood flowed from his body, splattering all over the ground, proving that human willpower does indeed have its limits.

He was powerless to do anything, and could not even maintain consciousness, so he fell into a coma.

"go to hell."

Looking at Shirou's appearance, Alster showed a cold attitude, grabbed him and was about to crush his body completely.

"Shirou! Brother!! No!!"

Alice screamed upon seeing this.

Her body was already covered in injuries, and she couldn't even stand up, yet she still crawled over with all her might.

Seeing this, Orsteed spoke with pity and indifference: "Is she important to you? I'm sorry, Alice Bereas Greirat, but one day you will understand why I killed all these apostles of God! One day you will know the truth!"

As he spoke, he showed no sign of stopping.

Even though Shirou's body was shattered beyond repair, like a lump of mud, he still wanted to tear it apart completely and erase the existence of the God Apostle.

However, Alsteed was unable to complete his action.

Because a strange feeling stopped him from killing Shirou before he could actually do it.

Moreover, Shirou Emiya, who had previously lost consciousness, suddenly opened his eyes for some unknown reason. The boyish innocence in his pupils had faded, as if he had been replaced by a mature face.

Most importantly, even though his body was severely damaged, the other party still managed to complete the action!

"Projection, start!"

"Shoot a hundred heads!"

Chapter 257 Shooting Down a Hundred Heads! Repelling the Dragon God!

Shirou's sudden awakening caught Orsteed completely off guard.

The latter had already prepared to turn back and leave, completely unprepared for Shirou's sudden action, resulting in an unexpected surprise attack.

"Projection, shoot down a hundred!"

In an instant, a jet-black axe-sword appeared in Shirou's hand.

The axe-sword was shaped like a saw, exuding an extremely heavy pressure. Most importantly, Shirou projected the weapon at an extremely fast speed, so fast that even Orsteed couldn't react in time.

"Kacha!"

A massive axe appeared in Shirou's hand.

Despite his already battered and bruised body, the latter still swung the massive, black axe with all his might, displaying an ultimate martial art known as "Shooting Down a Hundred Heads."
