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

Page 172

Of course, most importantly, the biggest difference between this sword and the invincible golden sword is that this is a divine weapon.

In the original world, this would be a weapon created by a god.

However, given Shirou's abilities, it is impossible for him to create a divine weapon.

The main reason he was able to do this was because he used the Holy Sword of Milis as a foundation, a divine weapon, to complete the forging.

That's the final result.

It can be said that this forging experience gave Shirou a huge boost, making him realize the forging method of divine weapons and the possibility of forging divine weapons by his own hands.

He was so excited about it that his hands were even trembling slightly after the forging was completed.

Of course, he did not forget his original purpose. After completing the forging of this divine artifact-level holy sword, he presented it to the Pope.

"it turns out……"

Upon seeing the completed Holy Sword by Shirou, the Pope's eyes widened slightly.

He clearly didn't expect the final product to be so perfect.

It was far more perfect than the holy sword he had envisioned.

After learning about the specific forging process, he was quite surprised and said, "I didn't expect that it would consume your original holy sword, Lord Muramasa. Your passion for forging is truly admirable. I will definitely give you a sufficient reward on behalf of the church."

"Ah."

Shirou didn't offer any pleasantries at this moment.

He came to repair the Holy Sword of Milis in order to obtain the assistance of the Church of Milis; otherwise, he wouldn't have directly fused his own invincible golden sword into it.

After carefully examining the holy sword forged by Shirou, the Pope spoke up again with considerable surprise: "This sword is simply too perfect. I even feel that this is the original form of the Holy Sword Milis. In that case, I hope that Lord Muramasa can name this sword."

"Name it? Didn't you want the Holy Sword of Milis?"

"The holy sword of the past has been integrated into the new holy sword, creating a more perfect future. I think the meaning of this is more suitable for the church today."

The Pope spoke with a smile, but his attitude made it clear that the other party was plotting something.

Shirou didn't care much about this. He didn't care about the internal struggles of the church. He simply went along with the other party's request. After thinking for a while, he said, "In that case, let's call it the Golden Sword of Eternity."

Chapter 235 The Forging of the Demon Sword Muramasa! The Pope's Gratitude and Gift!

The blacksmith Muramasa repaired the once-powerful Milis Holy Sword for the Church of Milis and transformed it into a brand-new holy sword, the eternally distant golden sword.

This event caused a sensation in the Holy Kingdom of Milis, and indeed throughout the world.

Both the blacksmith Muramasa and the Holy Sword of Milis are extremely remarkable.

Now that this brand-new holy sword has been unveiled, it has naturally attracted the attention of important figures all over the world, and even the great powers.

However, the Church of Milis undoubtedly attached great importance to the safekeeping of the Holy Sword.

Although they displayed the image of the eternally distant golden sword to the outside world, they almost never allowed outsiders to touch the weapon.

Even so, just by looking at its appearance from afar, the overwhelming power of this divinely crafted weapon still shocked everyone.

Thus, the name of blacksmith Muramasa resounded throughout the world once again after many years.

Everyone believed that the blacksmith Muramasa must have already achieved something no less than that of the legendary demon blacksmith Julian Jalisco.

However, this was quickly denied by Muramasa himself.

He announced to the world through the Pope that he was able to forge the eternal and distant golden sword, a divine weapon, purely because the foundation of the Holy Sword of Milis was good enough. He created it by standing on the shoulders of giants, thus breaking through the limitations of mortals and creating an extraordinary weapon.

People expressed their understanding of Muramasa's response and once again admired him.

People realized that Muramasa truly deserved to be called a legendary blacksmith, both in terms of forging skills and character, he was worthy of the title of master.

Even the miners didn't express any dissatisfaction with this matter.

After sending people to admire the eternally distant golden sword, they expressed their praise for the reforged holy sword without any reservation, and commented that Muramasa's forging skills had reached a divine level.

Although the Miners still regard Muramasa as their greatest enemy, they clearly hope to surpass Muramasa in forging skills fairly and squarely, rather than maliciously slandering him.

With the recognition of the mining tribe, the world's acceptance of the blacksmith Muramasa has reached a new level.

Countless important figures immediately sent people to the Holy Kingdom of Milis, trying to meet the blacksmith Muramasa. Even if they couldn't win him over, having him forge a legendary weapon for them would be a wonderful thing.

Various factions within the Holy Kingdom of Milis are also eager to make moves and are very concerned about Master Muramasa, who is currently stationed in the country.

However, the Pope ultimately suppressed the actions of various domestic forces, giving Shirow a stable environment.

Today, as Pope Harry Grimmore holds an almost unquestionable position within the Holy Kingdom of Milis. His two great achievements—the prosperity of the Church and the reforging of the Holy Sword—have made him the undisputed true Pope, a position that even the Cardinals, who possess the Son of God, cannot easily shake.

With the Pope's help, Shirou also had an absolutely peaceful environment and received the Pope's full support, allowing him to freely forge any weapon he wanted in the Holy Kingdom of Milis.

With this environment, Shirou was able to calm down for a long time and begin to think about what kind of weapon he should forge next, the best one to be his actual weapon in battle.

His first thought was undoubtedly Excalibur, the Noble Phantasm that once belonged to Saber Artoria.

For Shirou, that sword was extremely important, both in terms of its value and its significance to him.

If he could, he would undoubtedly want to replicate Excalibur and have it in his own hands.

However, Shirou soon realized that this was not something that could be easily accomplished.

Excalibur is a true divine weapon, its contents and value far exceeding those of ordinary weapons, making it completely impossible to replicate.

Even if Shirou created the Eternal Golden Sword, a holy sword that is infinitely close to a divine weapon, it would still be extremely difficult to truly replicate Excalibur.

Forging the Excalibur is destined to be an extremely difficult task, requiring an exceptionally long time to achieve.

Therefore, Shirou naturally wouldn't aim too high. He planned to start with the weapons he could forge and gradually, step by step, reach the realm created by the gods.

With this in mind, Shirou began to think about what kind of weapon would be best for him.

He pondered for a long time, searching through Emiya's memories, but still couldn't find a suitable answer.

Just then, as he looked at the Demon Sword Folding Wind in his hand, at this replica called Demon Sword Folding Wind, which had actually been with him for a long time, a pseudo-demon sword suddenly came to him.

He had always been imitating, replicating the sword from the memories of the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

Then why can't I create my own sword, one that has never been born into the world?

With my current technology, it's not impossible to do this.

At first, Shirou only had a flash of inspiration and suddenly thought of this possibility, but the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.

He stayed in the forging workshop specially provided for him by the Church of Milis, constantly thinking, researching, and conceiving that brand new weapon.

For some reason, even though he had never imagined it in any way, the image of a sword definitely appeared in Shirou's mind.

It was a sword unlike any other weapon he had ever seen. It was the strongest sword he had ever imagined, but once the forging process began, it was as if such a sword had always existed.

Unlike the invincible golden sword, the sword Shirou imagined was a katana similar to the Wind Breaker. So he simply imitated the previous method and directly reforged the Wind Breaker, incorporating the materials into the newly constructed weapon.

The sword was completed without anyone noticing.

When it was actually created, Shirou didn't even realize that he had already forged the weapon.

This is a pure katana, its blade as red as flames. It has no distinguishing features and doesn't exude any sense of oppression.

From anyone's perspective, this is just an ordinary weapon that looks good but is actually useless.

Shirou thought so too.

But Shirou immediately realized that the existence of this sword did not end there.

Just as his forging skills have not yet stopped, this sword, which is sublimated from his forging experience, forging knowledge, and forging accumulation, is just like his forging itself.

It is the embodiment of Shirow's forging techniques today.

Therefore, its current strength is only average, simply because Shirou's forging skills have not yet reached their peak and he has not yet been able to touch the realm of the gods.

If he further enhances his forging skills in the future and goes further on the path of forging, this weapon, which was born at the same time as his forging art, will naturally be able to reach a higher dimension.

Upon realizing this, Shirou almost immediately understood what kind of sword it was and what kind of name he should give it.

"...The Muramasa Sword, I'll call you Muramasa."

As Shirou gripped the Muramasa sword, his emotions fluctuated slightly, and he became increasingly aware of the path he would take in the future and the direction he would reach.

Even if the road is full of thorns and twists and turns, he will still try his best to reach the destination.

……

After completing the Muramasa Demon Sword, Shirou did not leave the forge but continued to devote himself to forging.

The reason for this was that, in addition to forging weapons for himself, he also planned to forge a spear for Rijrud as a reward for protecting him and Alice during this period.

This was something Shirou had already planned, intending to forge a weapon for him called the Crimson Rose that breaks the demon.

Compared to the eternally distant Golden Sword and the Muramasa Sword, the Demon-Slaying Crimson Rose is not difficult to forge.

With Shirou's current forging skills, he can easily complete this Demon-Slaying Spear once he has enough materials.

The gun body was entirely red, with a sufficient amount of anti-magic stones filling the tip.

Whether it's a defense constructed of magic or an unfinished spell, it can be easily destroyed as long as the tip of this spear touches it.

It is precisely this sharp demon-slaying spear.

Having achieved his goal, Shirou went to bid farewell to the Pope of the Holy Kingdom of Milis.

He originally thought there wouldn't be any unnecessary complications.

Unexpectedly, when he met the Pope, he received an unexpected gift from him.

"Mr. Muramasa, please accept this."

The Pope handed Shirou a silver-white holy sword, along with a special badge bearing the seal of the Holy Kingdom of Milis. "This is the Sword of Victory that I once bought from you. I once tried to use this sword as a new holy sword to unite faith, but I failed. Now that I have obtained a holy sword sufficient to unite faith, this meaningless holy sword is returned to you."

"This……"

Shirou would naturally not easily accept the Pope's actions.

But the Pope was adamant that he must accept it no matter what.

Shirou had no choice but to obey.

Moreover, the holy sword of the hero Gawain also held certain significance for him, namely, it could provide a home for the scabbard Avalon that he had just repaired.

After all, the invincible golden sword has already been integrated into the eternal golden sword, and for the time being, its sheath still needs the assistance of a holy sword.

The Pope then explained the significance of the emblem to Shirou.

"This is a special badge given by the Holy Kingdom of Milis to allies with whom we have a permanent friendly relationship. If Lord Muramasa has any needs in the future, we will do our best to fulfill them for you, as long as it is within our capabilities."

"...Thank you."

Realizing that this was the old pope's way of expressing his gratitude, Shirou naturally stopped being polite and readily nodded in acceptance.

Thus, in the eyes of the world, Muramasa officially left the Church of Milis and went nowhere.

In reality, Shirou simply changed his identity and returned to the tavern under Paul's cover.

Chapter 236 Shirou Cooks! Part One of the Grellard Family's Meals!

Back at the tavern where Paul's investigation team was located, Shirou was finally able to remove Muramasa's disguise and return to his original appearance.

Paul didn't say anything about his role as Muramasa.

Because Paul basically did not witness any direct contact between Shillah and the church.

Most of the information was obtained from Paul's father-in-law, Carlisle.

Although it was already astonishing to hear that Shirou had met with the most important figures in the entire Holy Kingdom of Milis all by himself, for some reason, Paul did not think that Shirou was incapable of doing such a thing, or rather, in his view, it was only natural that Shirou could do it.

After returning to the base, Shirou discussed leaving the Holy Kingdom of Milis with Paul.

Shirou ultimately decided to escort Alice back to the Kingdom of Asura.

He had already wasted a lot of time staying here as the Muramasa, so he had to make the most of it and set off immediately.

Paul tried to provide financial support for this.

But Shirou resolutely refused.

The investigation team still has many other places where they need money, and he wouldn't let Paul spend it.

Moreover, Shiro gave Paul a lot of money in return, which was the cost of forging weapons for him by the Milis Church. He received a considerable reward from the Milis Church.

Paul was undoubtedly deeply moved by Shiro's support.

But he didn't say much, let alone any words of thanks.

Everything is implied.
