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

As the astonishing flames spread, the snow covering the entire land seemed to be completely burned away, and the monsters suffered heavy casualties, all fleeing back into the forest in fear.

"This... is too powerful..."

This was the first time most villagers had witnessed the two brothers from the Grerat family display their strength. Their superior swordsmanship and magic were comparable to those of professional soldiers in the Kingdom of Asra.

Now that so many people have witnessed this scene and been deeply moved, even without deliberate dissemination, the reputation of the two genius brothers of the Grerat family will likely spread automatically. They may not only become famous in the territory of Fituia, but their fame may even spread throughout the entire Kingdom of Asra.

Chapter 79 To protect my family, I will fight with everything I have!

Shirou and Rudeus's first public display of their strength shocked the entire village of Buena.

Although the people of Buyena Village had heard in the past that the two Grerat brothers were geniuses with outstanding strength, this was the first time they had witnessed them in action.

Shirou and Rudeus each displayed their abilities, their swordsmanship and magic sweeping across the entire scene, leaving only a pile of monster corpses.

This sight brought the villagers back to their senses, and they cheered.

Amid cheers from the crowd, Shirou reached the edge of the protective netting. He peered through the dark gaps in the forest and could feel the oppressive force of some terrifying monster emanating from within.

"Shirou-kun, what do we do now? Should we go into the forest?"

Rudius followed from behind, his face showing excitement.

He had just unleashed a massive amount of magic, annihilating a large number of monsters and even gaining the villagers' approval. He was now feeling quite elated, eager to perform some more great feats so that everyone would shout the name of Lord Rudeus.

"Let's not go in yet."

Shirou shook his head.

Although he was very worried about Paul's safety, it was too risky for him to go deep into the forest alone to kill monsters. He could easily get lost in it. Even though Paul was an S-class adventurer with rich experience in fighting monsters, it was hard to imagine that he could survive. But Shirou also knew very well that it was almost impossible for him and Rudeus alone to enter the forest and rescue Paul.

After all, fighting in the forest is not like fighting in the outside environment, and Rudeus's magic is difficult to use in such a confined space.

Shirou's swordsmanship is powerful, but he can only protect himself at best. If Rudeus is surrounded by monsters, he will have a hard time finding a way to protect him.

The best course of action now is to protect the surrounding environment of the forest as much as possible, ensure the safety of the village of Bouyena, and patiently wait for Paul's return.

After making the decision, Shiro quickly directed the villagers to reinforce the protective netting.

He instructed the villagers to burn as much snow as possible around the forest to prevent monsters from sneaking into the village under the cover of snow.

Because of Shirou's strength, which he had just demonstrated, and his status as the eldest son of the Grellat family, the villagers generally trusted him and no one objected at this time. They all did their best to carry out their duties.

In less than half a day, the protective netting had been completely reinforced, and the snow around the forest had been completely cleared, so there would be no problems.

But even now, Paul's figure has not appeared from the forest. In fact, the dark and gloomy atmosphere inside the forest has become even more pronounced, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression.

"Paul..."

Shirou spoke with concern, his anxiety growing as time passed.

He turned to look at Rudius behind him and found that his brother was also worried about their father Paul's safety.

Although the other party was a despicable scoundrel, Paul was an undeniably important member to everyone in the Grellatt family.

Senis and Lilia at home were probably more worried about Paul's condition than anyone else, fearing that Noren and Aisha would lose their father...

After much deliberation, Shirou made up his mind and decisively said, "I will go into the forest alone to find Paul and bring him back if I can!"

"How does this work?"

Rudius wore a complicated expression. Although he was terrified of the gloomy forest before him, he didn't want to stand idly by alone. "Paul is our father, and I want to go with you, Shirou, to save him! Besides, I can help!"

Rudius suppressed his fear, even though his legs were trembling with terror, he did not back down at this moment.

Ever since that great fire, Rudeus had made up his mind that he would never again be controlled by fear, and that he would bravely face all difficulties like Shirou.

Although this is not something that can be done just by talking, anything can only be accomplished by trying.

"Rudy..."

Upon hearing Rudeus's words, Shirou hesitated for a moment before finally nodding.

Rudeus used to read a lot of books about plants and monsters, so he might be more experienced in exploring the forest than I am, not to mention that he can use magic.

As long as I protect him as much as possible and give Rudeus the opportunity to use magic, everything should be fine.

After making the decision, Shirou immediately consulted with the villagers, asking them to guard the defense line on their own and protect the village while he and Rudeus went into the forest to find Paul.

However, the villagers clearly could not allow the two children to put themselves in danger.

After some discussion, the villagers of Buena Village decided to form a small team to search for Paul's whereabouts together with Shirou and Rudeus.

"OK then."

Knowing that the villagers were worried about him, Shirou couldn't refuse, especially since Sylphie's father, Roltz, was also in the party.

After the villagers formed a team, Shirou and Rudeus got ready and went with them into the forest of Buena Village.

Although it's called a forest, it's actually more of a jungle, with the Chilong Mountain Range behind it, where you can clearly see the snow-capped peaks.

Many of the monsters in the forest are wanderers from the Crimson Dragon Mountains...

Shirou took the lead, but instead of drawing his longsword as usual, he used a bow and arrow as his primary weapon.

"Snapped!"

The moment he entered the forest, Shirou's sharp eyes scanned the surroundings, and without looking up, he drew his bow and fired an arrow into the shadows!

The arrow pierced the air with incredible precision and struck a monster that had no time to escape!

"Amazing!"

Rudeus couldn't help but exclaim in surprise that Shirou possessed such powerful archery skills.

Although many of Roltz and the villagers had witnessed Shirou's divine arrows before, they still couldn't help but marvel at them when they saw them in person again.

Only Shirou himself remained calm. He walked to the monster's corpse, briefly confirmed its death, and then quickly set off again.

During the process, Shirou once again demonstrated the unique ability of Hawkeye. His observation skills were so strong that he could even sense the flow of magical energy in the air, and no monster could escape from his eyes.

Therefore, the group encountered almost no ambushes during their journey. They were able to make preparations in advance whenever they encountered monsters, relying on Shirou's archery skills or Rudeus's magic to defeat the enemies.

"This is already quite deep inside..."

Shirou frowned, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings.

He had gone on several monster hunts with Paul before, but never had they ventured this deep into the area. Further ahead lay the region of the Crimson Dragon Mountains, where the monsters were far more powerful than those in the forests of Buyena Village.

"This...this seems to have been left by Lord Paul?"

A villager suddenly spotted Paul's cloak nearby; it had been torn apart by some sharp attack and was in a tattered state.

Everyone immediately realized that Paul had passed through here, and after searching the surrounding area, they indeed found signs of a fight.

"This...is this?"

Seeing the scene unfold so rapidly, almost like a whirlwind, everyone who witnessed it couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Because in what was originally a peaceful forest, there was an area that was completely different from the surrounding environment, with overturned soil and flying broken trees, and traces of sword energy and magic everywhere.

Just seeing this scene is enough to make one realize how fierce the battle that once took place here was!

"Father, Father, could it be that..."

Seeing this, Rudius couldn't help but show signs of panic.

Shirou remained silent, but upon seeing the scene of the battle, he immediately began to observe and found the footprints that had escaped.

"Here."

Shirou decisively took the lead and moved forward.

The further they went, the more devastating the battlefield became, and the villagers would find fragments of Paul's clothes from time to time, symbolizing that he was being driven to the brink of despair by a terrifying monster.

Rudius even thought that Paul must have died at the hands of the monster.

Only Shirou did not give up.

He believed that someone as shrewd and cunning as Paul would not be so easily cornered. As a seasoned adventurer, Paul should have the ability to escape even when facing an enemy much stronger than himself.

Of course, Shirou was also aware that his thoughts were more of a desire than a wish that might come true.

But he absolutely did not want to see Paul die.

At the very least, we must not let that conversation from a year ago become the last words they ever spoke to each other in their lives!

What a pity that would be...

With this in mind, Shirou's pace even quickened instinctively.

He started running at full speed, even leaving Rudeus and the villagers of Buena behind him, and ran wildly through the forest at an extremely exaggerated speed, like a high-level swordsman.

The surrounding environment began to rush past in his vision, and Shirou saw all sorts of traces, piecing together a long battle that continued until someone's spirit and will were about to reach their limit.

He could even sense the relief and regret emanating from the man's heart as he fought this desperate battle, the desire to protect his family, but even more so, the longing to see his family alive...

"boom!"

Finally, after Shirou had been running wildly for who knows how long, a clear sound of the earth colliding echoed in the distance.

A colossal black shadow emerged in the wind and snow, its exaggerated form revealing a giant dragon with outstretched wings ferociously devouring everything around it. A man, so small as to appear pitiful, was teetering on the brink of death under the dragon's claws, seemingly on the verge of falling at any moment!

"Paul!"

Shirou didn't have time for further thought; at that moment, he only had one reaction left!

He will do anything to protect his family!!

Chapter 80: The Story of Paul.

Paul Grealat never imagined he would face such a situation, much less that his life would undergo such a tremendous change.

As the heir to the Grellatt family name, Paul was destined for greatness from birth.

His bloodline made him a high-ranking nobleman in the Kingdom of Asura from birth. In fact, his father was the head of the Notos family, one of the four major lords of the Kingdom of Asura.

From the moment he was born, his existence was destined to remain in the most glorious seat in the Kingdom of Asura, spending his decadent life amidst the extravagance and debauchery of the nobles.

However, Paul was more unique than anyone imagined. He never coveted the power of the nobility. Although he did use his noble status to make advances on women in the capital, from young girls to mature ladies, he never failed to appraise any of them. But Paul always relied on his personal charm to attract other women and never used power to force anyone.

For Paul, neither Notos nor Greirat were a huge burden; he had no attachment to such empty titles, nor did he want to inherit the family's power.

Therefore, before he came of age, before the battle for the family headship had even begun, Paul decisively abandoned his noble status and left the bustling capital.

In his view, although the capital was prosperous, it was merely a hypocritical place that was all show and no substance.

He couldn't find a place for himself there, nor did he consider that magnificent and solemn place to be home.

After leaving the capital, Paul wandered for a long time. He was a merchant and a swordsman. He both helped the weak and oppressed the strong, and persecuted women. He was also a womanizer.

For Paul, life was like a journey with no end in sight and no beginning. He kept moving forward on this road, recklessly moving forward, not to reach a certain destination, nor to return to any place. He just kept moving forward...

Because of this lack of purpose, Paul only has a short attention span for everything he does. He rarely focuses all his energy on one thing, whether it's his work, his swordsmanship, or the women he pursues.

Once he accomplishes something or achieves a goal, it's the end for him. He won't look at it again, and he won't invest much enthusiasm in things he's lost interest in.

Therefore, he only learned the advanced levels of three sword styles: Sword God Style, Northern God Style, and Water God Style, and he pursued countless women only to abandon them.

This aimless progress continued for an unknown period of time until he finally rediscovered his passion for one thing: becoming an adventurer.

It might be because the profession of adventurer is a good fit for his nomadic lifestyle, or it might be because Paul himself likes the profession of adventurer, which involves continuous combat and interaction with all kinds of people, especially outstanding women.

Paul became an adventurer and traveled down this path for a long time.

Looking back, he even became the captain of the S-class adventurer team Black Wolf Fang. He led his team to create countless miracles and his fame spread to various places.

That was the happiest time of his life, and also the time when his self-awareness reached its peak.

If it weren't for that sudden accident, he would probably have spent his entire life wandering as an adventurer until his short yet long life came to a complete end.

However, the unexpected still happened, and he met that beautiful yet strong girl.

A girl named Senis, for reasons similar to her own, escaped her original aristocratic life and became an adventurer based on instinct.

At first, Paul didn't have many thoughts about Senis. He simply regarded her as an innocent and foolish girl, embarking on an adventurer's journey with almost adorable fantasies. As expected, he was deceived by cunning and treacherous people and almost sold into slavery.

Paul may be a scumbag, but he only has no bottom line when it comes to womanizing. In reality, he is a more upright guy than many others.

So Paul rescued Senis without hesitation, fantasizing that she would fall in love with him at first sight and repay him with her body.

However, the outcome did not develop as he had expected.

Senis was certainly grateful for her actions and for saving her, but the other party did not lose her independent personality as a result and still firmly maintained her original intentions.

Paul felt very sorry about this and tried several times to take advantage of her kindness to make a move against her, but Senis forcibly stopped him each time.

But Senis may still have been thinking about repaying the debt of gratitude, so she later chose to join Paul's team and work with the team members.
