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

Page 182

However, as long as I can remain conscious and not be affected by the consciousness of the Heroic Spirit Emiya, it's not the worst-case scenario.

After breaking the barrier, Shirou looked at the chaotic scene before him and felt that these people from the Kingdom of Shiron should not dare to cause him any more trouble.

If Pakus had been hit by that arrow, even if he hadn't died, he would have been crippled.

"Lilia, are you alright?"

Shirou quickly brought Aisha to Lillia's side and freed her from her restraints.

Because of Lillia's physical disability, she cannot make any exaggerated movements, so Shirou can only carry her on his back with one hand while holding Aisha in front of him with the other.

If it were Shirou as a child, he definitely wouldn't have been able to do something like this.

But now he has grown tall enough to hug two people at the same time.

"Young Master Shirou, you've really grown up..."

Lilia spoke with emotion, as if in the blink of an eye, she had discovered that the once reliable boy had become an even more reliable and mature young man, which evoked mixed feelings in her.

"Mom, Shirou is just like you said, reliable, handsome, and strong!"

Aisha excitedly said to Lilia, "Aisha is so lucky to have a brother like this!"

"Ha ha……"

Lilia simply smiled and nodded at Aisha's words.

Shirou watched the mother and daughter talking with a smile. He was about to leave with them when he discovered that a large number of soldiers had surrounded the entire palace.

Chapter 247 Shirou VS. the Divine Child Zanova! The Evil Dragon Blood Armor Appears for the First Time!

Shirou's pseudo-spiral sword was so powerful that a single arrow he fired almost lit up the entire palace, making everyone in the Kingdom of Xilong tense.

At this moment, the fastest to move were undoubtedly the elite knights of the Kingdom of Xilong. They realized the attack almost instantly and surrounded the area immediately.

Upon witnessing the scene, even these elite knights couldn't help but widen their eyes in astonishment.

Because Shirou's pseudo-spiral sword is just too powerful.

Its exaggerated explosive force created an extremely exaggerated vortex the moment it shattered the barrier, engulfing the entire palace.

One can only imagine what Prince Pacus's condition was like.

Even if they survive, it's probably no different from being dead.

At the moment, although the knights immediately realized that Shirou was exceptionally powerful, they still had to fulfill their duty of guarding the royal palace and could not let Shirou go.

The female knight Jin Jie, who had just been taking care of Prince Pacus, has now joined the knight guard and is confronting Shirou alongside the soldiers.

Shirou glanced at them briefly. Although he couldn't make a very detailed judgment, he could tell that the knights were indeed much stronger than ordinary soldiers.

Most of them are intermediate and advanced levels of the Water God style.

For safety reasons, he temporarily put Lilia and Aisha down and had Aisha hold onto Avalon while the barrier was active.

“You all follow behind me.”

Shiro spoke decisively.

"Ah."

Lilia and Aisha nodded in agreement, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

After ensuring that Lillia and Aisha were under Avalon's protection, Shirou walked forward with peace of mind and addressed the group of knights: "Those who do not wish to die, step back. I have no intention of being your enemy; I only wish to save my family."

"..."

The knights exchanged hesitant glances at Shirou's words.

They clearly didn't want to fight against such a powerful stranger.

In particular, Jin Jie had already told the others that Shirou was at least a Sword Saint-level expert and possessed some strange ability to break through King-level barriers.

Such a terrifying being, even if all the knights of the Kingdom of Xilong surrounded it together, they might not be able to deal with it.

It's better to let them leave; maybe that will avoid any trouble.

The situation reached a stalemate, and the knights were generally ready to let Shirou and the others leave.

“Knock…knock…”

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from not far away.

Upon hearing this voice, the knights all showed expressions of horror and parted to make way.

Shirou could only watch as a male figure walked towards them from a distance.

This must be royalty.

Shirou made this judgment.

First of all, the visitor's attire gave off a very grand impression. It was based on black with gold embroidery everywhere, and you could tell at a glance that it was very expensive. His facial features were somewhat similar to Parkus, but he was thinner, with a long face, prominent cheekbones, and he was wearing glasses.

“I am Zanobasilon, the third prince of the Kingdom of Xilon.”

The other party's first words confirmed his royal status.

Shirou became slightly more serious and spoke in an almost formulaic manner: "I am Shirou Grellard. I have come here only to rescue my family members, Lilia and Aisha, who were stranded in the Kingdom of Shilon due to the Great Transfer. They are both members of the Grellard family. I had a conflict with you because of this, but if possible, I do not want the matter to escalate further."

"Oh? You've come only to save your family?"

Zanopa seemed to agree with Shirou's words.

But one of Pakus's soldiers quickly spoke up: "Prince Zanaba, His Highness Prince Pakus has been seriously injured by this thief and is still unconscious!"

"What did you say?"

Zanaba's glasses gleamed.

In an instant, a sense of oppression that could not be underestimated flashed in the eyes of Zanaba, who was clearly just a boy. Even Shirou rarely felt an oppression of the same level. It could only be seen occasionally in some beings on the Demon Continent. It was the gaze of beings who had killed people and did not consider killing a crime.

"Lord Shirou, please explain why you hurt my brother."

Zanopa didn't get angry directly; instead, he questioned Shirou with reason and evidence.

Shirou then replied seriously, "Because Pakus captured Lilia and trapped me with a King-level barrier, it's understandable that I hurt him in order to fight back."

In reality, Shirou had already completely decided to kill him.

Only Parkus reacted quickly enough that the arrow did not pierce the opponent's heart.

This also gave Shirou some room to maneuver.

Otherwise, if Shirou has already killed a prince of the Kingdom of Shiron, his only option now is to break through the encirclement with Lilia and Aisha as soon as possible and escape the Kingdom of Shiron.

After all, this means that the two sides have formed a blood feud that will last until death.

“Parcus is indeed a treacherous and cunning fellow.”

As Pakus's brother, Zanoba didn't seem too distressed about Pakus's injury, speaking as if he were commenting on a stranger.

This made Shirou vaguely aware of the way royal children interacted.

I think this matter can most likely just be left alone.

He could leave with Lilia and Aisha without having to become a complete enemy of the Kingdom of Xilong.

To Shirou's surprise, Zanopa suddenly became extremely serious and said, "I regret that although it was Pakus who started this and it was my disobedient younger brother's own fault, Your Excellency's trespassing into the palace and injuring people, if you are not punished, it will damage the kingdom's reputation. That is why Father sent me here."

"What do you mean?"

Shirou was slightly surprised.

From Zanoba's words, he sensed that the other party seemed to be considering fighting him.

He was quite surprised that someone in such a small country would have the courage to challenge him, a sword saint.

Could it be that Zanaba, despite his young age, is actually a genius like Izuru? Has his skill reached the Saint level, or even higher?

While Shirou was pondering, Pakus calmly walked out from among the knights.

The soldiers of the Kingdom of Shiron were not surprised at all by his apparent desire to fight Shirou one-on-one; instead, they calmly watched the scene unfold before them.

This was taken for granted by them.

"..."

Shirou couldn't understand what was going on, so he could only place his hand on Muramasa at his waist to ensure that he could attack at any time, no matter what the other party did.

To his surprise, Zanaba did not display any particularly exaggerated skills.

To the other party, he simply stood still, and then, like an ordinary person, struck a pose resembling a street thug fighting.

"What does it mean?"

Shirou couldn't understand it and even thought the other person was joking with him.

But Zanaba seemed very serious.

He prepared himself in a stance reminiscent of ordinary street thugs in a brawl, got into position, and then charged towards Shirou.

"Drink ah ah ah!!"

Shirou found it increasingly difficult to understand Zanaba's actions.

They even suspected that the knights were sending the prince to his death.

Because Zanoba's movements had too many flaws.

There's absolutely no indication that they've received any professional training.

Shirou suspected that even a street thug with extensive fighting experience could perform better than Zanover.

While Shirou stood there, stunned, unable to understand.

Zanaba was already very close to him.

Shirou calmly made a defensive move, because Zanova's performance was so inexperienced that he didn't even think about drawing his sword.

However, this relaxed state lasted until the moment Zanopa approached him, when it suddenly vanished as Shirou felt an indescribable sense of urgency.

It was a kind of pressure that couldn't be described in words, like the kind of fear that humans instinctively feel when facing a meat grinder.

When Shirou saw Zanova's fist, his body instinctively felt this fear!

In the chaos, Shirou immediately drew his sword to defend himself.

"boom!"

Zanaba's fist was delivered entirely to his sword.

To describe the feeling of that blow in words is like being hit head-on by a speeding heavy truck, or facing a train traveling at full speed.

Shirou didn't even have the ability to think, and he paid the price for letting his guard down.

"boom!"

After smashing through two walls and clearly feeling the exaggerated destructive power that defies description, Shirou finally managed to get up from the ground with difficulty.

This isn't right.

Shirou was clearly aware of this fact.

Despite being just a human, Zanobá's power was even more astonishing than that of Atofi, the immortal demon king he had once encountered.

At the same time, Zanaba was also very surprised. Looking at Shirou's appearance, he murmured, "Why? Why isn't your sword broken? And you were able to get up so quickly? Aren't you injured?"

In Zanaba’s view, his blow just now would have dislocated most people’s internal organs, let alone allowed them to stand up again.

A fragile body can hardly withstand excessive force.

Shirou said nothing to this, but simply removed the armor beneath his clothes—

Blood Armor of the Evil Dragon.

It can withstand all attacks below Rank B.

In this world, it's equivalent to ignoring all damage below the Saint level, while also significantly reducing high-level damage.

It was precisely because he possessed such an extravagant treasure that he was so confident in coming to the Kingdom of Xilong, even wanting to fight against an entire nation by himself.

Chapter 248 Defeating the Divine Child! Subduing the Kingdom of Xilong!

With the help of the Evil Dragon Blood Armor, Shirou successfully blocked the attack of the prince of the Kingdom of Shilon.

However, he did not feel proud of this; on the contrary, he showed great vigilance.

After all, Prince Zanoba's power was very strange.
