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

When the giant stone axe transformed into a whirlwind, it crashed down with unprecedented force beneath Shirou's twisting body!

"boom!"

The greatsword slammed into the dragon's body with a solid blow, bringing its charge to a complete halt, and the massive body of the red dragon collided intimately with the earth!

"Awooo—!!!!"

The red dragon let out a bloodcurdling scream, its pupils dilated completely, utterly unable to accept its death and defeat.

However, if the Red Dragon could see his situation from a third-person perspective at this moment, perhaps he wouldn't have so many regrets.

Because of Shirou's all-out attack, a huge crack tens of meters long was created directly on the entire earth.

The final blow that slays a hundred heads, a strike that gathers all magic power, strength, momentum, and potential energy, a strike that can even kill the earth!

Only a physical defense of the level of the Crimson Dragon could withstand this attack, with its internal organs shattered and only minor external wounds appearing.

If it were any other creature, no matter how proud it was of its body, it would probably be sliced ​​flat like tofu in the face of this attack.

"Hahaha"

With his feet firmly planted on the ground, Shirou's gaze was fixed on the red dragon's corpse, worried that the behemoth might rise from the ashes.

Although he knew in his heart that the other party was definitely dead, Shirou couldn't completely relax because everything that had just happened was too difficult.

The battle just now, though it seemed long, actually only lasted a moment.

Before those around them could even react, the battle had already been decided.

The one that fell was the Red Dragon.

Shirou survived.

This means that this twelve-year-old boy has accomplished the feat of slaying a dragon, a feat that countless adventurers have tried but never achieved!

Of course, Shirou himself did not have the real feeling of creating a great feat. He simply released the projected axe and sword. Due to the end of the overloaded battle and the sudden return of magic power, he almost lost his balance.

"Shirou!"

"Shirou-san!"

Paul and Rudius arrived from a distance.

The father and son had been hesitating about whether to come and help Shirou or follow Shirou's wishes, escape, and lead the villagers to safety.

Unexpectedly, the battle ended after less than a minute of hesitation.

In their vision, what they saw was the boy giving his all, as if risking his life to challenge a powerful enemy, and ultimately creating a miracle.

Despite the magnificent scene, they were not particularly happy or excited; instead, they were filled with bitterness and worry.

Especially Rudius.

This experience made him realize even more his own weakness and powerlessness, and that he could only hide behind others each time.

This feeling was even more unbearable for him than dying directly in the mouth of the red dragon.

Shirou seemed to have sensed his resentment.

A white-haired boy, no, a patch of white hair appeared in his red hair. He calmly patted the boy's head and said, "Don't be sad. You should be happy. We can all go home now."

After saying this, Shirou was about to take a step.

However, the overwhelming feeling of exhaustion made it almost impossible for him to support himself, and he collapsed to the ground, startling Rudius and Paul who were standing nearby!

Chapter 86 Breaking through the limits of the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

The threat of the Red Dragon is over.

With the disappearance of the Crimson Dragon, the forest of Buena gradually lost its previous magical accumulation, and the monsters scattered and fled, no longer gathering together.

The villagers then quickly returned to their village.

Although not everyone witnessed Shirou's victory over the Red Dragon, many villagers did so with their own eyes. Such a legendary feat could not be kept secret and quickly spread among the villagers, even gradually reaching places outside of Buena Village.

"That's amazing, young master of the Greirat family!"

"A dragon slayer at only twelve years old, that's something only legendary heroes could do!"

"Although I always thought Shirou was a very strong kid, I never expected him to be able to kill the Red Dragon!"

"..."

The villagers later expressed their gratitude and joy that the village had survived, and they felt even more grateful and respectful to the Grerat family who had risked their lives to protect the village.

Paul, as the head of the Grellatt family, is in a less than optimistic situation.

After returning to the Grellard's house with Rudeus and Shirou, he immediately sought out Senis and asked her to treat Shirou.

Upon seeing Shirou's appearance, Senis gasped in shock.

Although Shirou appeared perfectly fine, without a single wound, his gradually turning white hair and his barely audible breathing proved that his life force had plummeted to its lowest point.

Senis used all her strength to unleash healing magic, and even Rudeus came to help, barely managing to keep Shirou alive.

The mother and son then took turns performing healing magic on Shirou, each releasing their own magic until they could no longer sustain it, and then they switched places.

Later, Senis was unable to use magic due to her low magical power, so Sylphie, who came from home, volunteered to take over the task and took turns with Rudeus to use healing magic on Shirou.

Three whole days passed in this way, and Shirou's vital signs gradually began to stabilize. He finally regained consciousness and opened his eyes again.

"I am..."

Shirou opened his eyes, the intense headache and tearing pain causing him to momentarily lose his senses and become confused about his identity.

But he soon saw the excited Grerat family and Hilfi standing nervously beside them.

Shirou then recalled himself and remembered how, in order to save his family, he chose to unleash the power of the Heroic Spirit Emiya and used the projected image of the Hundred-Headed Slayer to kill the Red Dragon.

"I'm sorry, I think I made you worry."

Shirou spoke with mixed feelings. He could tell from everyone's haggard appearance that the family hadn't slept well these past few days because of his situation.

"Don't worry about it, Shirou."

Senis was the first to rush over with a smile, pulling Shirou into her arms and pressing her skin against the boy's. "After all, you protected Paul and Rudy, and yourself. You're my hero."

“Senedes…”

Shirou could understand Senis's attitude.

When she and Rudius went to rescue Paul, Senis must have been more worried about the safety of her husband and son than anyone else.

If Paul were to die on the battlefield, or if she and Rudius were to die on the battlefield, Senis would probably feel immense pain.

Now, everyone has survived, and no one has died, which is arguably the best possible outcome.

"Shirou."

Paul walked over from the side.

Shirou originally thought that this guy would be jealous again because he and Senis were too close, just like before.

Unexpectedly, Paul didn't feel that way this time. Instead, he hugged himself just as excitedly as Senis, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Thank you so much, thank you so much."

Paul's emotions poured out like a flood.

He still remembers the excruciating pain he felt, as if his heart was being torn apart, when Rudeus was about to be devoured by the red dragon.

If Shirou hadn't suddenly intervened and saved Rudeus, Paul could hardly imagine how much regret he would have felt, or how difficult it would have been to forgive himself.

So, just as Senis considered Shirou her hero, Paul felt the same way, believing that Shirou was the hero who saved him and his family.

Needless to say, the rest of the family members are even worse off.

Apart from Norren and Aisha, who are not even a year old yet and can't even speak, everyone else—whether it's Rudeus, Lilia, or Sylphie—is filled with gratitude and respect for Shirou, regarding him as the hero who saved everything and saved their family.

Rudeus and Sylphie felt a deep sense of powerlessness because of this incident.

Both of them realized how vulnerable and powerless they were in the face of a real crisis, and that if it weren't for Shirou, they would have been completely unable to resolve such a crisis...

They all felt resentful of their own weakness.

As night fell, the Grellatt family held a grand feast to celebrate the end of the crisis and the fact that no one had been affected by it.

Although Shirou's hair can never be changed back, and there is always a wisp of white hair on his forehead, Shirou himself doesn't care about it. The change in his hair doesn't give him much to think about.

However, this strand of white hair constantly reminds the rest of the Greirat family of what Shirou had sacrificed for them.

Therefore, at the banquet, Paul behaved with unprecedented frankness.

Perhaps it was because he had been drinking, or perhaps it was just his personality, but after the banquet began, he hugged Shirou and poured out his emotions with tears streaming down his face.

As a father, he failed to protect his child, but was instead protected by his child's unwavering devotion. This left him feeling both moved and resentful, regretting that he hadn't further developed himself in the past.

To be honest, Shirou was quite helpless about Paul's overly clingy attitude. Although his body had recovered, it was not fully healed and he was still in a state of injury.

Most importantly, ever since his magic circuits were fully activated, he has been emitting a faint pain, which has even affected his entire body.

This is clearly a side effect of overusing the abilities of the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

Yes, after experiencing this battle, Shirou finally realized the consequences of merging his own soul with that of the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

Now, a part of Shirou's body has become equivalent to the structure of the Heroic Spirit Emiya. If he continues to use the power of the Heroic Spirit Emiya, it will cause him to shift further towards the direction of a Heroic Spirit. Not only will his original physical body gradually perish and he begin to become a Heroic Spirit, but his spirit and will will also be further influenced by the Heroic Spirit Emiya, and he may even become the Heroic Spirit Emiya himself.

Although Shirou himself doesn't care whether his mind will be distorted, nor does he mind his body starting to become a Heroic Spirit, the consequence of becoming a Heroic Spirit is that his upper limit will also be locked by the upper limit of the Heroic Spirit Emiya. The highest limit is the limit that the Heroic Spirit Emiya can reach.

That was definitely something Shirou didn't want to see.

His past life experience made him realize that the power of the Heroic Spirit Emiya alone was insufficient to protect those he wanted to protect.

If you want to defeat all enemies and protect the people you care about, you must completely surpass the limits of the Heroic Spirit Emiya and reach an even higher level!

Therefore, Shirou resolved that he would never again use the power of the Heroic Spirit Emiya unless absolutely necessary.

As Shirou was filled with various thoughts, the banquet at the Grellard family went on until very late.

Originally, Shirou was supposed to be the one cleaning up after the banquet, but everyone stepped forward to help him out.

Shirou was sent straight to his room to sleep.

Shirou was both happy and helpless about this novel situation. After returning to his room, he had nothing to do, so he simply started studying magic.

"The Crane Wing Triple Strike and the Shooting of a Hundred Heads—I've now regained control of both of these powers..."

Shirou opened his magic notebook and reorganized and restructured its contents. Finally, his gaze fell on the last page of the notebook, where the words "Unlimited Blade Works" were written.

As the most powerful ability of the Heroic Spirit Emiya, Shirou is naturally well aware of the weight of this power.

If he could, he hoped he would never have the opportunity to use this power in his lifetime.

However, Shirou also knew very well that fate was often unreasonable.

Often, the more you don't want something to happen, the more likely it is to appear before you in a cruel way at an unexpected moment.

Looking at the cunning moonlight outside the window, Shirou felt a vague sense of pressure and crisis.

At least this time, the red dragon made him feel very strange. He had a strange feeling that the red dragon had appeared here because of him.

But he quickly abandoned this cowardly idea.

Whatever the reason why the Red Dragon appeared in this village, what he wants to do will not change: he must become stronger, strong enough to change all the tragedies and protect the people he wants to protect!

Therefore, he still held the original idea that he should not be immersed in the powerful strength of the Heroic Spirit Emiya, but should instead focus on the abilities that the Heroic Spirit Emiya did not possess!

He still needs to take another step forward on the path of the Sword God style.

……

Winter passes and spring comes.

Time slipped away once again without us realizing it.

After the Battle of the Red Dragon, the village of Buena returned to peace.

One day, a tall orc woman with long gray hair and wolf ears came to the village. She had a strange black longsword hanging at her waist and a letter bearing the mark of Grerat in her hand as she entered the village.

Paul's former teammate, the Sword King Gilead Thied Rudia, has arrived.

Chapter 87 Shirou, who became famous for slaying dragons, and the arrival of the Sword King Kyrie Irvine!

In the courtyard of the Grellard's house, Shirou, dragging his still slightly unrecovered body, picked up his training sword and began his day's rehabilitation training.

Since his battle with the Red Dragon, his body has been affected by the full activation of his magic circuits, causing him to experience strange, intense pain from time to time, and his body has not yet fully recovered.

But this wasn't without its benefits. Shirou felt that his magical energy flowed much more smoothly than before, and even his height inexplicably increased.
