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

Page 287

Seemingly because it was unexpected for the armored man, Izuru's full-force attack not only interrupted his movements but also knocked the armor off his head.

Thus, its true colors were exposed to everyone.

"babble!"

Upon seeing that figure, everyone present felt fear.

Some people lost control of their bladders, some collapsed to the ground, and others were hostile towards them.

However, almost everyone had the same thought in their minds—that everyone would die.

Only two people present were not frightened by the man's true appearance: Shirou and Rudeus.

Leaving aside Rudeus, who was completely bewildered and had no idea what had happened, Shirou's eyes widened the moment he saw Rudeus's true face.

When he saw the person's appearance clearly, he suddenly realized that the other party's true identity was none other than the current Dragon God, Orsteed!

Chapter 365 Shirou's confrontation with the Dragon God! Has the Dragon God's favorability also increased?

With silver hair and golden eyes, he exuded a terrifying killing intent that suppressed the entire scene without even being angry.

This is the impression that the Dragon God Orsteed gives to everyone.

When it appeared, the entire execution ground, which was like a ruin, fell into absolute silence.

The nobles of the Kingdom of Asura all showed expressions of terror and fear, not daring to meet his gaze even slightly. Many of them even became so terrified the moment they saw the man's true face that their legs went weak and they were unable to stand.

Even Izuru, the water king who had just stepped in to save the water goddess Leda and repel Orsteed, was stunned when she saw the true face of the dragon god Orsteed. She trembled with extreme fear and was covered in cold sweat.

This further confirms that the other party is indeed the Dragon God, Orsteed.

Because the dragon god Orsteed is burdened with a curse that is hated by the world, anyone who sees him will tremble with fear and be unable to control themselves the moment they see him.

"It's actually... the Dragon God! Why? Why did you kill my master?"

Orsteed remained indifferent to Izoruti's incomprehension.

He seemed to disregard the mortals present from the very beginning, his expression remaining cold as he stared at the water goddess Leda lying on the ground, and said to Izuru, "You don't need to know why I'm doing this. If you don't want to die here, abandon the water goddess and obediently step back."

Although Orsteed spoke in this way, his attitude clearly indicated that he did not believe Izoruti would be easily swayed.

Indeed, even when faced with the threat from the Dragon God, Izuru was unwilling to give up the Water God and held her sword tightly to block the Dragon God.

"I refuse! Even if it costs me my life, I will never allow you to kill my master!"

Izuru had already made up her mind.

Even before, when Shirou was fighting the water goddess Reda, Isorti had already wavered and wanted to intervene in the battle to stop it.

After all, she neither wanted to see the water god killed by Shirou, nor did she want Shirou to be killed by the water god.

For her, the best outcome would undoubtedly be if both sides could stop fighting and both survive.

However, Isorti soon realized that she was not strong enough to intervene in the battle and could only watch it unfold.

It wasn't until the final battle between Shirou and the water god came to a complete end that Isorti realized with dismay that she had accomplished nothing in the end.

But she also made a decision: she would save the water god's life no matter what.

After all, the water goddess was not only an important teacher to her, but also her grandmother and her most important relative. Izoruti could not stand by and watch Lydia die.

However, Izuru never expected that the person she would ultimately have to fight was not Shirou or Ariel's faction, but the dragon god Austerd who suddenly appeared.

Faced with such an overwhelmingly powerful enemy, Izuru felt despair almost instantly.

Even if she felt utterly hopeless and powerless, she would never give up. She would risk her life to save the people she wanted to save.

"To risk your life, huh... Well, that's the kind of person you are, Izuru Tecruel."

Orsteed, as if he knew Izuruti very well, silently raised his right hand. "Well, anyway, when I was killing Darius and preparing to come here to kill the water god, I was already prepared to possibly kill you as well. Unfortunately, Izuruti, you will perish with this water god."

"Killed Darius? Darius is already dead?"

Alsted's words elicited a gasp from Ariel, who was standing nearby.

To this, Orstide casually replied, "Well, I've already killed him. Don't worry, I haven't touched any of your men. You can smoothly become the queen of this country and inherit the throne, Ariel Anemoisla."

"This……"

Ariel fell silent at Orstide's words, a look of confusion on her face.

After all, judging from Orstid's words, it seemed that the other party was helping him ascend to the throne, clearing away the obstacles in his path to becoming king.

But why would they do that?

What reason would a mighty dragon god, ranked second among the great powers, have to help an ordinary princess become king?

What benefit does this bring him?

A variety of thoughts flashed through Ariel's mind, and she couldn't help but wonder about Alsterd's true intentions.

Compared to Ariel's wavering, the nobles present, because of the Dragon God's words, no longer dared to have any intention of resisting Ariel.

Because they all regarded the Dragon God Orsteed as Ariel's ally, they never expected that Ariel not only had Shirou, a powerful companion who could defeat the Water God head-on, but also had a connection with the Dragon God Orsteed, who could be said to be the strongest in the world today.

Such overwhelming power made the nobles no longer dare to have any extra thoughts about preventing Ariel from becoming queen, and their hearts were filled with fear of Ariel.

While some may have considered the possibility that Alstead might not have any connection with Ariel, the fact that Alstead was willing to kill Darius in order for Ariel to become queen makes it difficult to doubt that the two are not related.

It can be said that things have developed to this point, and there are no longer any obstacles to Ariel becoming the Queen of the Kingdom of Asura. All that lies ahead for her is a smooth road.

In a sense, becoming queen was also beyond Ariel's own will.

Now, regardless of Ariel's true intentions, her becoming queen is an inevitable outcome.

While the nobles were preoccupied with their own thoughts, Orstid silently looked at Izuru and slowly said, "I'll give you one last chance. Leave the water goddess Leda's side, and I won't hurt you in the slightest."

"I will never abandon my master!"

"Is that so? Then I have nothing more to say. You two, grandfather and grandson, may die together."

The moment Orsteed finished speaking, his figure vanished from the spot as if by teleportation, and when he reappeared, he was already behind Izoruti.

"!!!"

Despite being the mighty Water Queen, Izuru couldn't even catch a glimpse of Alsteed's movements. Despite her best efforts to dodge, she was still pierced through the shoulder by the Dragon God's arm.

"He actually dodged it?"

But Orsteed seemed dissatisfied with the result. He looked surprised at Izuru's actions and said, "You shouldn't have this much strength at this time... Is it a change in your mindset, or are you influenced by someone? Well, that's all. Your talent doesn't support you to go any higher. This is where it ends."

"Damn it!!!"

Izoruti couldn't accept being looked down upon like this. Although she knew that the gap between her and the Dragon God was like that between an ant and an elephant, she, as a fragile ant, would never back down even if she was destined to die!

Therefore, despite her pierced body, Izuru forced herself to unleash the secret technique of the Water God Style, briefly repelling the Dragon God.

“Izalte…”

Looking at her granddaughter's unwavering determination, the Water God couldn't help but show a pained expression. He said, "This is no match for you. You don't need to go to such lengths for me. I don't have much time left to live anyway."

"I won't! How could I possibly watch you die in front of me, Master! I absolutely cannot accept that!"

Izuru gritted her teeth. Although her vision was becoming increasingly blurred due to the bleeding and her body was gradually losing its balance, she still did not fall down, nor was she willing to give up.

Looking at Izuru, who was already at her last gasp but still refused to give up, a flash of sympathy crossed Alster's eyes.

But that sympathy vanished almost instantly, turning into absolute killing intent.

"There are many unacceptable things in this world. No matter how strong you are, there are bound to be things you can't do. If you insist on persisting, then pay the price with your life."

The moment Orsteed finished speaking, he appeared in front of Izuru once again as if by teleportation, his straight palm transforming into a sharp knife, about to pierce Izuru's heart.

Faced with the fact that Water Queen Izuru was about to die, everyone present couldn't help but close their eyes, unable to bear watching that cruel scene unfold.

"Ding,"

However, what appeared the next second was not the image of Izuru's death, but rather the crisp sound of a sharp object colliding.

Just as the Dragon God's hand blade was about to pierce Izuru, it was directly blocked by a sharp longsword.

Despite being greatly exhausted from the battle with the water goddess Reda, Shirou still managed to stand between Izuru and the Dragon God at the crucial moment, blocking the fatal attack.

"Shi-Shirou...?!"

Izuru looked surprised, seemingly not expecting Shirou to help her.

Shirou spoke up quietly, "I heard that you saved Ariel's life before, Isorty. In that case, I will repay this favor."

"how do you know?"

Izuru was stunned when she heard this, not understanding why Shirou knew about it, but she quickly realized the reason.

She noticed that Alice winked at her from a distance, clearly indicating that Alice had told Shirou the news, which made him decide to come and save them.

At this moment, Shirou blocked the Dragon God's movement with his sword, and the two stared at each other at extremely close range, their pupils reflecting each other's images.

"Should I say it's been a long time, Shirou Grellard?"

Dragon God Orsteed spoke quietly, "I've heard about your recent achievements. Not only did you defeat the Northern God III, but you also defeated the Water God Leda. Such rapid growth is rare even among the entire human race."

Shirou was undoubtedly quite surprised to hear Orsteed's blatant praise.

He couldn't understand the other party's attitude at all, and he didn't understand why the other party wasn't like when they met at the Red Dragon's Jaw, where they would start fighting at the slightest disagreement.

"Why are you here, Dragon God? Why did you kill the Water God?"

"Because this water god is an apostle of the god of men."

When the water god was mentioned, Orstid's words instantly became serious, even angry. "All apostles of the gods should die. For this reason, I killed the first apostle, Darius, and the water god I will kill next is the second apostle."

"An apostle of God and Man? You attacked me because you thought I was an apostle of God and Man?"

"Yes, at the time I mistakenly thought you were an apostle of God and wanted to make you disappear, but later I realized that I had misunderstood you."

Why do you think I am not an apostle of God?

“The apostles of gods and men would not help Ariel ascend the throne. Only those who prevent Ariel from ascending the throne could be the apostles of gods and men. Therefore, when I learned that you fought against the water god in order to make Ariel queen, I already judged that you were not an apostle.”

"Why does helping Ariel necessarily mean one is not an apostle of God?"

"I can't talk about this."

"This……"

Orsteed clearly had no intention of revealing everything to Shirou. He spoke frankly, "In short, Shirou, you deserve a lot of credit for Ariel's ascension to the throne. Consider it a favor I owe you. I also apologize for the matter of the Red Dragon's jaw; I misunderstood you."

To my utter surprise, Alsteed would show such sincerity and even apologize to me.

For a moment, Shirou even showed a hint of unreality.

But he quickly regained his composure, not wanting to be easily misled by the other party's simple words, and said seriously, "You said you owe me a favor, so if I said I hoped you wouldn't kill the Water God, could you do that?"

"of course can."

Without the slightest hesitation, Alsted calmly nodded, "Although the water goddess is an apostle of the gods, now that Darius is dead, she is no longer easily controlled by the gods. Moreover, with you here, Ariel's ascension to the throne is almost certain to remain unshaken. If you offer your terms, I can spare her life."

"..."

Shirou was completely confused by Orstide's attitude.

His impression of the other person had completely changed compared to the last time.

After learning that he was not an apostle of the gods, Alsted not only completely lost his hostility towards him, but also behaved quite kindly and amiably, his favorability towards him skyrocketed, and he suddenly became very human.

This left Shirou unsure how to vent all his emotions, and he even felt completely deflated.

However, he remained somewhat nervous, suspecting that Orstide's words were merely a ploy to lower his guard, and that she would actually kill the water goddess Leda.

But Orsteed really did nothing. He just glanced at the people of the Kingdom of Asura and left without looking back.

It wasn't until Orsteed truly disappeared from sight that everyone belatedly realized that the battle for the throne of the Kingdom of Asura seemed to have come to a complete end!

Chapter 366 I am Rudeus from the future, here to save you in the present!

The civil war in the Kingdom of Asura has ended.

With Shirou defeating the water goddess Reda and solidifying his strength beyond that of the strongest in the Asura Kingdom, the struggle for the throne was essentially a foregone conclusion.

Not to mention that the dragon god Orsteed also appeared during the process and described the fact that he killed Darius.

As a result, the nobles generally suspected that the dragon god Orsteed and Ariel were allies, and dared not have any thoughts about Ariel.

The faction of the first prince, Gravel, disbanded on the spot, and Gravel himself surrendered outright, abandoning his ambition to inherit the throne.

Several leaders of the Gravel faction also chose to submit to Ariel.

Plemon, the head of the Notos family, chose to relinquish his position as head of the family in order to beg Ariel for a chance to live.
