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

Page 139

The ground changed out of thin air, flames covered the space, and began to quench everything at an extremely fast speed!

—Sword magic!

The magic that Shirou learned with the help of his teacher, Rocchi, was still quite unfamiliar to him at the time, requiring a long period of preparation and chanting before it could be activated on a large scale.

But now, after countless forging attempts and gaining a deeper understanding of weapon forging, Shirou's sword magic has unknowingly improved in the process.

After all, sword magic is essentially just using magic to forge weapons.

As Shirou gains a deeper understanding and knowledge of the forging process, the speed at which he can forge weapons using sword magic will naturally become faster!

"Wow!"

As Shirou's magic was fully activated, countless sharp blades appeared around him and transformed into swirling slashes.

The number of swords was incredibly large, at least two to three times that of the rock spears.

And after all the swords were created, they dispersed at an extremely fast speed, forming a sword storm that was almost impossible to see with the naked eye.

Such a sight left not only ordinary people wide-eyed, but even Muya stared in astonishment.

This was the first time in his life he had ever seen such unique magic. He never imagined that such a talented person could exist in the world, so much so that he suddenly felt a sense of appreciation for talent, and his resentment towards humans also diminished considerably.

However, Muya's behavior ultimately could not be stopped.

He unleashed the two powerful spells he had prepared in one breath!

"Boom!"

The Rain of Death and the Spear of Rock erupted almost simultaneously, transforming into the substance of death and tearing everything apart.

In the chaos, most people were forced out of the Adventurers' Guild, including the black-armored knights under Muya's command. As members of the Undead Legion, they finally succumbed to the storm of this magnitude.

Only a very few people were able to remain standing.

For example, Muya herself, as well as Rigel and Alice under Rigel's protection.

"Shirou...brother!!"

In her anxiety, Alice let out a chaotic cheer, and tears even welled up in her eyes. If Rigdl hadn't been holding her back, she probably would have rushed into the battlefield to help Shirou.

But Rachel Rudd still managed to stop her.

While Rijerud himself also showed some unease, he was more surprised, because as a Spelud, even though the scene was chaotic, the ruby ​​on his forehead still clearly reflected everything!

In Raji Rudd's view.

Muya's death magic was almost completely blocked by the Sevenfold Heavenly Rings. Although the Sevenfold Heavenly Rings could only block the frontal defensive barrier and could not block attacks from all directions, Shirou activated the scabbard of the Golden Sword of Victory, Avalon, at the critical moment, and used Avalon's barrier to neutralize the effects of the death magic.

As for those boundless rock spears.

Despite the large number and power of the rock spears, due to a lack of tempering and forging, none of them could even penetrate Shirou's sword magic defense.

The sword array, composed of countless swords, was both offensive and defensive. It not only tore apart all the incoming rock spears but also formed a solid defensive line, blocking all splash attacks.

In the end, despite paying a huge price, Shirou did indeed completely block Muya's attack.

However, it consumed a lot of magic power.

After the battle, Shirou knelt on the ground, exhausted. He had almost completely depleted his magical energy. Although the depletion of magical energy did not affect his use of swordsmanship and magic, it meant that one of Shirou's trump cards had been removed, and the remaining battle was destined to be very difficult.

At this point, Shirou has no more trump cards left to use; at most, he only has the Heroic Spirit Summoning Card and the Golden Sword of Certain Victory in his bag.

But neither of those things is something that can be used casually in front of others.

The former would expose her identity as the Heroic Spirit Emiya, and as for Alice, she still doesn't know her identity as Emiya.

As for the invincible golden sword, it could also reveal that he is the blacksmith Muramasa.

After all, such a special weapon is difficult for ordinary people to forge, and one would almost immediately think of famous blacksmiths, of which Muramasa is naturally among them.

Just as Shirou hesitated, unsure whether he should risk exposing his identity by using his trump card, a figure stepped in front of him first.

"Rigid Rudd?"

Shirou's eyes widened; he hadn't expected Rijkaard to show up on his own initiative.

He originally didn't want Rijerud to reveal his Spelud identity, so he kept him from making a move.

Rajirud, however, clearly couldn't sit still any longer.

He had wanted to take action the moment the Demon King's guards appeared, but when he saw that Shirou's strength was beyond his expectations, he was stunned and did not make a move immediately.

But he has now made up his mind that he must help Shirou, even if it means exposing his Spelud identity.

"Let me do it."

The moment Rijerud drew his trident, all the demon guards showed expressions of extreme vigilance, a tension a thousand times greater than that of Shirou.

Even Muya, who had been calm just moments before, now showed a look of confusion, exclaiming, "Spelud spears? You...you are Deadend!?"

Chapter 196 Heroic Spirit Form Unveiled! Surprise Attack on the Demon King's Castle!

Rajirud's self-disclosure of his identity drew everyone's attention. Although he did not reveal any obvious evidence of his Spelud clan identity, the trident in his hand almost certainly indicated his identity.

As for the Spelud race, even the demons on the Demon Continent wished to eliminate them as soon as possible; they were the most hated beings.

Almost all the members of the demon royal guard drew their weapons and surrounded Rijrud as quickly as possible.

Muya adopted an even more frightening attitude than before, and although his face was not clearly visible under his black helmet, anyone could sense a hint of seriousness and tension from him.

"Oh...ah..."

The adventurers of the Adventurers' Guild, and even its members, were trembling all over, filled with despair and fear. This fear was far more exaggerated than when Shirou had instantly killed a group of demons; it was as if terror and despair were engraved in their souls.

Although Rigel hadn't done anything compared to Shirou, who had killed someone, the moment he revealed the symbol of the Spelud clan, the entire Adventurers' Guild was filled with hostility and fear towards him—an almost uncontrollable instinctive impulse.

"Deadend... I never expected to find it here."

After a brief confirmation, Muya, the captain of the demon's personal guard, almost confirmed Rijrud's identity.

He raised his hand and summoned a jet of water, spraying it towards Rijrud.

Although the latter blocked the attack with his spear, his hair, which had been stained black by mud, quickly returned to its original state.

That was green hair, a color unique to the Spelud.

Silphie was once bullied in the village of Buena because of her green hair.

“That’s right, I am Deadend, a Spelud from the Ragnarok Speludia clan.”

Having his identity exposed, Rijrud was completely resigned to his fate. He even unwrapped the bandage on his forehead, revealing the ruby. "Since my identity has been exposed, I have no choice but to kill everyone. The two children behind me were threatened by me to do these things. It has nothing to do with them; it was all forced upon them by this demon."

Rachel Rudd explained everything with her clumsy acting, taking all the blame upon herself.

His tone was insincere, but his murderous aura was so realistic that it was impossible to ignore, and it instinctively evoked a sense of terror.

"Aa ...

I don't know who screamed first.

Everyone in the Adventurers' Guild, whether adventurers, guild members, or passing girls and young men, dropped what they were holding and ran away shouting.

Only the black-armored knights remained in place, but each knight's expression was one of indescribable terror and solemnity, as if they were even prepared to face death.

In that instant, Shirou clearly realized just how outrageous the Spelud race truly was in this world.

The terrifying truth is that it is not something that can be changed at will; the prejudices in people's hearts are like mountains that can never be moved.

Even though he was the one who killed countless people and committed numerous crimes within the Adventurers' Guild, Rijrud was transformed into someone far more wicked and terrifying simply by revealing his Spelud identity.

The change was undoubtedly too sudden.

Of course, Shirou didn't think that Rijkaard was without fault either.

After all, the blood debts committed by the Spelud are indeed a fact, and no matter how things are explained, those who made the mistakes must ultimately bear all the responsibility.

However, this is irrelevant to the current situation.

Because Shirou did not want Rigel to take the blame for him.

However, Shirou's mind couldn't shake anything in the end.

After confirming that Rijerud was a Spelud, Muya, the captain of the demon guard, immediately ordered her men to engage him in fierce combat.

As the captain of the guard, Muya's strength is evident. He easily suppressed Shirou, who had used all his trump cards, all by himself. Now, he even disregards his reputation and leads his subordinates to gang up on Rijerud.

Even if Rijkaard is indeed very strong, he can't withstand such a large group attack.

Finally, he was captured by Muya using a special sealing magic.

"Since everything was the fault of this Spelud tribe, we will not pursue the rest."

Muya glanced at Shirou, her eyes showing a calm attitude. When Muya fought Shirou earlier, she had already recognized the talent of this young man.

After all, as a magician, Muya was very happy that someone could create magic that impressed her.

Previously, the only reason I had to fight Shirou was because of a conflict of stances.

Now that the Spelud clan, the masterminds, have been brought to justice and the issue of their positions has been resolved, Muya naturally no longer harbors any resentment towards Shirou.

"This Spelud will be judged personally by the Demon King, so you two don't need to worry and can relax."

"..."

Shirou did not respond to Muya's words, because he knew that explaining would not solve the problem at this time, and would only waste the painstaking efforts that Rigd had made by sacrificing himself.

Rather than acting impulsively now, it would be better to accept Rigel's kindness and find another way to rescue Rigel from the Demon King.

However, although Shirou had made the right decision, Alice clearly could not easily accept reality.

She desperately wanted to save Rijerud, but because she couldn't speak the demon language, she couldn't communicate at all, nor could she resist the oppression of the black-armored knights. In the end, she had no choice but to give up and watch helplessly as Rijerud was taken away by the black-armored knights.

"Damn it, what are those guys up to? Why did they kidnap Ridge Rudd?!"

Due to the language barrier, Alice was completely bewildered.

Shirou briefly explained the situation and quietly said, "The Spelud clan casts a very deep shadow on this world. They even abandoned logic after learning that Rigelud was a Spelud. It's conceivable that they wouldn't let Rigelud go through normal means."

"What?! Rachel Rudd didn't do anything wrong."

"..."

Shirou waved his hand dismissively at Alice's words.

In this world, good and evil cannot be used to distinguish everything.

So-called justice is by no means a concept of black and white opposition. Only by confirming the facts based on the current situation and making a choice from the heart can one achieve true justice.

Of course, even putting aside the issue of justice, Shirou cannot tolerate Rijerud sacrificing himself for them.

We must find a way to rescue Rachel Rudd as soon as possible.

As Shirou's thoughts began to unfold, the members of the Adventurers' Guild regrouped.

Since Shirou had just made a name for himself, no demon adventurer dared to provoke him anymore and instead avoided him.

Shirou, however, did not intend to ignore these people. Instead, he took the initiative to walk over and came to the horse-headed man named Nocbara.

"I...I'm sorry...I...I didn't expect you to be so strong, please...please spare me!"

Nokbara had completely lost his previous arrogance and promptly knelt down to beg for mercy.

Shirou didn't dislike him too much, after all, Nocbara had been trying to persuade him to avoid risks, and wasn't a real bad person.

He didn't react much, but simply asked quietly, "Where were those black-armored knights just now?"

"This……"

Unexpectedly, Shirou asked such a question, and the quick-witted Nocbara immediately guessed that Shirou might want to go and save Rigel.

He couldn't help but earnestly persuade them again: "Those guys are subordinates of the Undying Demon King Atofi. That Spelud has been captured and taken to the Demon King's castle, Old Kisilica. The guards of that castle are no joke; outsiders never return."

"Stop talking nonsense, Rijrud is in the old city of Chisilica, right?"

After confirming the facts, Shirou immediately took action.

He sent Alice back to the hotel and told her to stay home as much as possible.

He quickly left the inn and took out the card for summoning heroic spirits.

"Dream Summoning, begin!"

As the power of the Heroic Spirit Emiya once again attached itself to Shirou, his appearance changed significantly again, transforming from a boy into a tall adult male with bronze skin, a white cloak, a crimson headscarf, and a shroud covering his entire arm.

This is undoubtedly the figure of the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

Yes, Shirou had already made up his mind to rescue Rijerud no matter what when he witnessed Rijerud being captured.
