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

Page 284

The biggest difference between Unlimited Blade Works and ordinary magic is that once you enter Unlimited Blade Works, the power of the blade is completely unleashed.

Shirou doesn't even need to make any more projections or use any extra magic power. He only needs to maintain the existence of Unlimited Blade Works to freely activate all the weapons within the Blade Works.

This means there's no limit to the speed at which Unlimited Blade Works can be activated. If Shirou wants, he can instantly unleash thousands upon thousands of swords, completely overwhelming his opponent with sheer numbers!

Even though the Water God's Sword Realm can attack opponents without limit, Shirou can use a corresponding weapon to directly neutralize the Water God's attacks.

Moreover, there is a limit to how fast the Water God can unleash the power to strip away the Sword Realm.

The opponent's attack speed cannot be infinite.

In contrast, the number of swords in Unlimited Blade Works can be said to be truly unlimited. Shirou can fire all the weapons at speeds far exceeding those of the Blade Mastery!

This is why the Ankylosaurus was so certain that Shirou, having mastered the Unlimited Blade Works, would be able to defeat the Water God!

All of this has now been proven true!

"Pfft!!"

Under Shirou's urging, an astonishing number of swords flew up from the sword mound, circled in the air for a while, and then rushed towards the direction of the water goddess Reda.

Countless swords and blades appeared before him, flying straight down from mid-air toward him.

Such a despairing sight would have made an ordinary person close their eyes and wait in despair for death, but the water goddess Leda was not swayed. She suddenly swung the golden sword in her hand, and an amazing sword aura burst forth from her hand.

"Boom!"

An exaggerated sword aura tore through space as the water goddess Leda unleashed the ultimate technique of the Water God Style, destroying all the incoming swords and blades in mid-air.

Just as the water god breathed a sigh of relief, the same scene repeated itself.

As the earth shook violently, numerous swords on Sword Hill began to fly into the air one by one, forming a sword barrier that completely surrounded the location of the Water God.

Yes, Shirou had no intention of engaging in direct combat. He planned to use Unlimited Blade Works to wear down the Water God from a distance.

This is not despicable; it is simply dealing with the situation using appropriate methods.

After all, the first person to use this method was the Water God himself. The opponent's Sword Realm Deprivation was similar to winning the battle by restricting the opponent.

Shirou is simply giving him a taste of his own medicine!

This can be considered, in a sense, using a barrier to fight against a barrier.

Since the water god uses a barrier that deprives him of movement to restrict his opponent's movement, then I will create a barrier of swords and use countless swords to restrict the water god in return!

In fact, this was a true head-on confrontation.

The Water God's Deprivation of the Sword World and Shirou's Unlimited Blade Works are completely identical in terms of their ability concepts, so in the end, this confrontation is a contest of scale.

To determine whose domain is more powerful and whose barrier is stronger, a single battle will be enough to definitively determine the victor!

……

The perspective shifts slightly to the magical city of Sharia.

After Shirou arrived in the Kingdom of Asura aboard the Ankylosaurus's magic circle, Paul and Rudeus went back to Sharia's house first.

In this new Grerat household, everyone wore serious expressions, showing no sign of enjoying their leisurely daily life without the need for fighting.

Paul paced back and forth in the living room, and every now and then, feeling agitated, he would take out his beloved sword and run out into the yard to swing it around in order to distract himself.

Apart from Paul, everyone in the Grellatt family also showed signs of unease.

Rudeus appeared to be studying magic, but in reality, he had no ability to calm down. His gaze kept wandering around, and he couldn't concentrate at all.

The two younger sisters, Noren and Aisha, had no interest in playing like ordinary children. They sat quietly in the living room, their expressions showing obvious worry.

As a tutor, Loki was also very worried, so much so that she hadn't yet registered to become a teacher at the magic university.

As a maid, Lilia was relatively quiet; she needed to take care of Senis, who had lost her ability to move and think.

To Lilia's surprise, Senis also seemed quite unusual today.

The blonde woman's empty gaze would occasionally drift south, as if she could see through mountains and rivers to reach someone's side.

While the family members each had their own thoughts, they were all worried about Shirou, who was far away in the Kingdom of Asura. Suddenly, Aisha spoke up: "Can't we just go and find my brother?"

"Eh?"

Aisha's sudden statement surprised everyone in the Grellat family.

The group looked at each other, seemingly never having considered this option.

After a brief moment of thought, Paul seemed to make a quick decision, nodding and saying, "You're right, Aisha, I should go and support Shirou!"

Paul had been able to maintain his rationality and avoid becoming a hindrance to the Kingdom of Asura.

But after this long wait, his rationality has gradually been worn away, and he is now completely controlled by his uncontrollable emotions. He is determined to rush to the Kingdom of Asura to help, rather than stay at home and wait to die.

"I'll go with you, Father!"

Rudy Rameus nodded quickly; he shared the same thought and didn't want to waste time doing nothing.

"But Master and Young Master Rudius, you've both left. What will happen to the family?"

Lilia hesitated before speaking, "Lady Senis is still in this condition and I have to take care of her, but I can't do anything about Aisha and Norren."

"This……"

Paul and Rudius hesitated upon hearing Lilia's words, seemingly also feeling that abandoning their home and heading straight to the Kingdom of Asura was not a good idea.

Aisha then seized the opportunity to continue, saying, "Why don't we all go together? Anyway, with Dad and Brother Rudeus there, there won't be any danger."

"No, this is too..."

Paul and Rudius exchanged glances, feeling that the proposal was too dangerous.

But after careful consideration, the two realized that this was indeed the best choice, since having everyone by their side was clearly the better option than having them stay at home.

Furthermore, they could borrow the teleportation magic circle from the Ankylosaurus King, which would allow them to reach the Kingdom of Asura instantly without having to travel a great distance.

In this way, the risk is greatly reduced.

With that in mind, Paul urged Rudeus to first try borrowing a magic circle from the Ankylosaurus King, and if that didn't work, they would think of another idea.

Rudeus hesitated for a moment before going to see the Ankylosaurus King, only to find that the other party was very generous and offered to lend him the teleportation magic circle.

This surprised and delighted the Grerat family, who immediately made preparations to travel to the Kingdom of Asra.

The only one who cannot go is Loki, because as a demon, she is not allowed to go to the Ankylosaurus King's aerial fortress.

This undoubtedly frustrated Luo Qixi, but there was nothing she could do but watch everyone depart.

As the head of the family, Paul took on the responsibility of ensuring the safety of the trip. He was quite excited throughout the journey, as if he was recalling the long trip that Shirou and Rudeus took when they were young. Back then, because Rudeus was autistic, they were unable to complete that family trip, and now they had the opportunity to make up for it.

The journey was also significant for the rest of the Grellat family, who expressed their excitement.

But after the initial excitement, most people quickly regained their senses and realized that helping Shirou was more important than the family trip.

Aisha, who made the proposal, showed obvious excitement and anticipation. Her undisguised attitude was almost abnormal, as if she couldn't wait to arrive in the Kingdom of Asura.

Chapter 362 Shirou Achieves King-Level Status in Three Styles! The Water God's Last Dance!

"Ding,"

"Ding," "Ding,"

Thousands of swords raged across the sword mound, like a storm of blades, completely engulfing and swallowing the aged figure of the water goddess Leda.

However, before these astonishingly numerous swords could even touch the body of the water goddess Leda, they were torn apart in mid-air by unseen sword energy. Brilliant sparks bloomed in mid-air, like dazzling fireworks exploding, bursting into dazzling flames and releasing explosive flames.

"Boom!"

The battle between Shirou and the Water God had reached a fever pitch after both sides unleashed their full power.

The Unlimited Blade Works activated by Shirou and the Blade Deprivation Realm released by the Water God collided and fought fiercely like a meat grinder.

The first to have a vulnerability was undoubtedly Leda, the water goddess.

As the current water goddess, Lydia's swordsmanship and fighting spirit are undoubtedly at a god-level. Her strength is enough to crush any being below the lower ranks. Even though Shirou is currently ranked seventh among the strong, he does not have the ability to rival the water goddess in swordsmanship.

The reason Shirou has been able to fight the Water God to this point, and even suppress the Water God to a certain extent, is purely due to the unlimited ranged attrition method of Unlimited Blade Works.

If Shirou didn't possess the Unlimited Blade Works ability, he would never have been able to contend with the Water God's Deprivation Blade World from the very beginning, let alone fight the Water God head-on.

However, it is precisely because of Unlimited Blade Works that Shirou is able to make up for the gap between himself and Reda, the water goddess, even though his own skill level is somewhat inferior.

At this point, the fatal flaw of the water goddess Leda gradually became apparent over time.

The fatal flaw of the water god was none other than the fact that he was too old and frail.

The Water God was far too old. As a human, no matter how powerful an individual was, his physical functions would gradually decline over time, until his cells failed and his organs deteriorated.

Although the Water Goddess has not yet reached the point of being completely old and even unable to fight, the fact that she is getting old has made her blood and energy not as abundant as when she was young. Most importantly, her physical strength is far less endurance than that of a young person, and her attention will begin to scatter after a long period of concentration.

Shirou dragged the Water God into a tug-of-war, relying on the power of Unlimited Blade Works to gradually wear down his opponent's stamina. Although this method of wearing down the old man was despicable, it was indeed quite effective.

As time went on, the water goddess Leda's combat abilities gradually declined. Eventually, she could no longer rely entirely on the Sword Realm to block all the weapons flying from Unlimited Blade Works, and had to take steps to dodge the attacks of the sword works.

However, this dodging action itself was distracting the already limited attention of the water goddess Ledanah.

The ability to strip away sword realm requires complete concentration to function; if the user relaxes their attention even slightly, it will create a flaw in the sword realm.

The water goddess herself realized this. After being nearly hit by flying swords several times, she finally realized that her Sword World could not compete with Unlimited Blade Works.

She therefore immediately released her grip on the golden sword and voluntarily disarmed herself of the Sword Realm.

"!!"

Seeing Reda's sudden change of action, Shirou's attention immediately focused. He had already confirmed that Unlimited Blade Works countered Deprivation Blade World, so he had been waiting for Reda to change her tactics. After all, only by using abilities other than Deprivation Blade World could the opponent possibly defeat him.

Shirou must keep a close eye on the Water God's movements and see through all of his opponent's hidden cards in order to ensure that his victory is not in jeopardy!

"Kacha!"

The instant the Water God released the golden sword and dispelled the sword barrier, countless swords and blades that surged forth from his surroundings were no longer restrained and charged straight toward the Water God.

The old woman's body seemed to be submerged in a sea of ​​swords in an instant, and she disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.

Shirou remained vigilant, still able to clearly sense the presence of the water god; he knew the water god was not so easily defeated.

"boom!"

Indeed, it was exactly as he had thought.

Almost instantly, the figure of the water goddess Reda appeared from the sea of ​​swords. The golden sword in her hand had somehow changed to a reverse grip, and at the same time, the water goddess herself casually grabbed a sword from Unlimited Blade Works, and charged towards Shirou with the action of holding two swords in one hand.

Shirou was surprised by the water god's actions.

After all, the Water God School has always prioritized defense over offense. As the current Water God, Lydia's previous battles have generally focused on defense and counterattacks, rarely using direct offensive techniques. Even the Sword Realm Deprivation technique is essentially a way to restrict the opponent's mobility rather than directly killing them.

Now that the Water God has suddenly switched from defense to offense, it's hard to imagine what tricks or trump cards the opponent will use.

"Hehe, are you trying to guess what other tricks I have up my sleeve?"

Compared to Shirou's serious expression, the water goddess Reda seemed to have thought far less about it, revealing a very open-minded smile. "Actually, I have no more trump cards left. Depriving you of the Sword World is my strongest ability. If even this move can't defeat you, then I'm completely out of options. However, there's a saying that goes, 'When one truly has nothing left, one can unleash their strongest power.' The same applies to swordsmanship. When one is no longer bound by specific moves and fights with the purest will, that is when one is at their strongest."

"..."

Before Shirou could react, the water god's words had even finished when he noticed an indescribable, terrifying fighting spirit erupting from the old woman.

The opponent seemed to have completely disregarded everything and unleashed all their power.

After abandoning the Sword Realm of Deprivation, the Water God no longer needed to rely on extra abilities to maintain it. Instead, it freed her from all restrictions, allowing her to unleash all her power spontaneously!

"Boom!"

Faced with the water god charging straight at him, Shirou had no time to think. He immediately opened his right hand and summoned countless swords from his Reality Marble to rush towards the enemy.

However, the water goddess Leda had no intention of dodging. She let the thousands of swords rush towards her, and then silently swung her sword!

"Crack——!"

It was as if everything had suddenly been frozen in time, or as if the world, which was originally full of color, had been turned into black and white in an instant!

"boom!"

The terrifying power unleashed by the Water God's sword directly tore apart thousands of swords, leaving countless fragments of blades scattered across the sword mound.

However, the water god himself did not seem to be unscathed.

After abandoning the Sword Realm, the Water Goddess essentially abandoned all defenses, making her body as fragile as an ordinary person. Even the flying debris of swords and blades could completely tear her body apart.

But the Water God didn't care about the extra wounds on his body at all. In fact, he seemed to enjoy the feeling of being attacked by his opponent. With a smile on his lips, he continued to charge towards Shirou.

The distance between the two suddenly became extremely close.

Shirou had no other choice. It was impossible for him to use the power of Unlimited Blade Works at such close range. Instead, he summoned a pair of twin swords and charged towards the Water God.
