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

However, that was against world-class powerhouses like the Sword King and the Sword Emperor.

Faced with a group of kidnappers who probably weren't even his superiors, he didn't need to use too many abilities. Basic physical strength was enough to defeat them all!

"Buzz!"

Shirou gripped his sword with his hands behind his back, and the sheer force of that single gesture left the kidnappers speechless.

One of the kidnappers, seemingly wavering, couldn't help but ask, "Who...who are you? Why are you getting in our way?"

"Is this important?"

Shirou responded coldly. Although he had used the kidnappers to make Alice face reality, he had no interest in people who were full of evil and only wanted them to be punished, or even die.

The leader of the kidnappers, however, was unconvinced; he believed there was no one in the world who couldn't be moved.

He grinned and said, "Since you're here, it means you're that young lady's bodyguard, right? You're probably only doing this for the money, aren't you? Do you know how much that girl in your hands is worth? We have connections that can sell her to an incredibly powerful nobleman. They're willing to pay a high price for a girl of such high status, and they can make more money than they can spend in their lifetime."

"oh……?"

Shirou was surprised to find that there was an even deeper network of interests and a more powerful mastermind behind this group, which piqued his interest.

For the Heroic Spirit Emiya, who aims for justice, eliminating such a group of pure villains would surely help him further realize their wishes.

Shirou himself has never completely given up on his ideal of being a partner of justice, and still retains a passionate blood in his heart, though cold.

So he didn't take action immediately, but instead inquired about the great nobleman.

However, his attitude caused Alice to misunderstand. The young lady thought that Shirou had been persuaded, and she immediately looked at him with a livid face.

Shirou did not give any response.

"Who is this nobleman you're talking about, and why did he capture Alice?"

"I can't say for sure, and people at our level wouldn't know, but it's said that the nobleman has a perverted fetish. He likes to capture young girls as sex slaves, and he's extremely rich. He can just throw out a little reward and that's enough for him to never have to work again. Doesn't that sound tempting?"

The kidnapper leader spoke with great pride.

He clearly believed that his words would easily move Shirou, because in his mind, there was no one in the world who was not interested in money.

But in fact, he never imagined that there were people in this world who were not only uninterested in money, but also had an unimaginable obsession with good and evil.

That is the existence known as the Allies of Justice!

"Have you finished speaking?"

Shirou watched calmly as the kidnapper leader finished speaking, standing there with an unreadable expression.

"you……"

Although the kidnapper leader felt he had spoken well enough and reasoned with the other party, Shirou's attitude made him feel a vague unease.

While observing the other person, he silently took half a step back.

At the same time, Shirou's figure left an afterimage almost in place. His movements were so fast that they were impossible for the naked eye to follow.

"Asshole!!"

The kidnappers all raised their weapons in response, intending to resist.

"Kacha!"

Just a sword.

Shirou's Gan Jiang and Mo Xie swords chopped off all the kidnappers' weapons, along with their right hands that were holding the weapons, causing a large amount of blood to splatter.

At the same time, Shirou lifted the white cloak on his back.

The cloak blocked out all the blood.

He didn't let even a single drop of blood stain Alice in his arms.

Alice's eyes widened in shock at all this!

She never expected Shirou to be so powerful, and even more unexpectedly, he showed absolutely no interest in the money and wealth promised by the kidnappers.

Alice then realized that what the other party had said when they signed the contract with her was not false; the other party genuinely did not have any ulterior motives towards her, which was why they signed the contract with her.

This result made her both happy and conflicted.

In the end, she couldn't help but focus her gaze entirely on the tall, red-haired man in front of her, as if trying to see through his appearance to his true nature.

But she couldn't see anything at all; only a strange feeling began to sprout in her heart.

Chapter 105 I am still a partner of justice!

Shirou instantly killed all the kidnappers in front of him with a single sword strike. These kidnappers were of varying skill levels, and were generally a group of farmers who had not undergone professional training, so they were not worth worrying about at all.

Some of them weren't even considered novice swordsmen.

You could say he's a complete newbie.

Perhaps if Alice were to fight them head-on, she might even have a chance to defeat these adults.

Of course, none of that matters now.

Shirou has determined that there is a deeper mastermind behind these people. Since that's the case, he won't kill them easily. At the very least, he will capture them and interrogate them with the Boreas family to find out who is behind them.

Shirou isn't good at these things, and he doesn't like interrogating others, so he'll leave everything to Philip of the Boreas family from now on.

As Shirou pondered these matters, he noticed the kidnapper leader in the distance standing there in a panic, caught in a dilemma of whether to flee or stay.

The scene of Shirou instantly killing all his companions clearly had a huge psychological impact on him, making this bandit who had been drinking blood from swords feel the terror of death.

But he was unwilling to give up. He had already captured the eldest daughter of the Boreas family. All he had to do was sell her to a powerful figure at a high price and he could enjoy a lifetime of wealth and luxury. The bright future was within his grasp. How could he just give it up like this?

"Damn it!!!"

As the saying goes, even a cornered dog will jump over the wall.

After weighing the pros and cons, the kidnapper leader did not choose to escape, but instead charged towards Shirou with his sword in hand.

He was clearly prepared to fight to the death, willing to gamble his own life to capture the eldest daughter of the Boreas family and obtain a lifetime of wealth and glory.

"A foolish choice..."

Shirou held Alice in one arm and tossed the blood-stained cloak aside.

His physique after transforming into a heroic spirit was incredibly tall, with slightly dark skin and well-developed, muscular build that would make even ordinary women unable to look away.

Although Alice was just a young girl who hadn't yet experienced love, seeing Shirou's strong body and being able to feel distinct sensations against his clothes, she couldn't help but feel a strange restlessness.

Of course, Shirou was unaware of Alice's thoughts. He silently looked at the kidnapper leader walking towards him and realized that the other party's aura was not weak.

Compared to the group of weak and untrained subordinates from before, this leader was at least at the level of a superior swordsman.

Such a person is very likely a knight who once served some important figure, or a former adventurer who fell into depravity for some reason and ended up doing human trafficking.

Even though they are burdened with sin, the skills they once learned do not disappear. In fact, because they are used to living a life of bloodshed, their skills are honed to a sharper edge, giving them a suppressive power that ordinary swordsmen cannot match.

Shirou then became somewhat serious. He gently put Alice down from his arms and let her rest to the side.

He took the initiative to show himself and silently welcomed the other party's arrival.

"You appear to be a skilled swordsman, so why would you get involved in such a wicked scheme?"

Shirou spoke up silently, puzzled by this formidable kidnapper leader.

If the other person is of this caliber, there is no need for them to become a criminal. They could simply find a decent job and live quite well.

The kidnapper leader showed disgust at Shirou's words and said coldly, "Tsk, what the hell are you talking about? Are you trying to give me some life advice? Why would I commit a crime? It's simply for money. How much money do you think you can earn in your whole life as a knight and bodyguard for a nobleman?"

"Did they sell their conscience for profit?"

"Conscience? Can conscience feed you?"

The kidnapper leader spat and said bluntly, "Judging from your actions just now, you're not some naive noble knight, you're just a murderer like me... Do you think people like us still have any naive sense of justice? In the end, as long as we live well enough, that's all that matters! After I die, who cares about the world going to flood? Why should we care about other people's lives? As long as we're happy, isn't that enough?!"

"..."

"Hey, how about we team up? You've taken care of all my accomplices anyway, so we can split all the rewards! Do you know how huge that is? Not just a hundred or two hundred gold coins, but a fortune you can't even imagine! I can sense that we're on the same level, can't I?"

Shirou fell silent in the face of the kidnapper leader's attempts to persuade him.

Because he recalled how he had abandoned the Einzworth family's plan to use Miyu, the Greater Grail, to save the world in order to save Miyu, and even actively sabotaged the plan.

He killed many people, simply for his own selfish purposes.

This seems to align with the kidnappers' leader's thinking.

However, Shirou does not think he is wrong, because forcing others to sacrifice for him is itself full of all sorts of mistakes.

Even if it was a selfish choice, Shirou believed that he had made the right one.

But the behavior of these kidnappers is completely different.

Their act of kidnapping Alice and selling her to a high-ranking noble was essentially an act of forcing someone else to make sacrifices for them in order to gain their own interests.

While Shirou and the kidnapper leader's actions may appear similar on the surface, they are fundamentally different.

On that snowy night, he may have betrayed the justice he had once established in his heart, but he also pursued a more real and genuine justice.

That justice was no longer hypocrisy, not something false inherited from Kiritsugu Emiya, but something genuine that he obtained through his own power.

Thus, Shirou came to a conclusion.

He is not one of those guys.

He continues to walk the path of justice.

"..."

In an instant, as Shirou figured out this crucial question, his previous hesitation and wavering were completely overwhelmed by conviction.

"You, you bastard?"

The kidnapper leader hadn't expected his words to not only fail to persuade the other party but also provoke them. He quickly retorted, "Do you think you have any right to judge me? Aren't you and I both murderers?!"

"Yes, I am indeed a murderer, but I am definitely not the same kind of person as you."

Shirou raised his twin swords, his eyes unwavering as he spoke, "What you have done is devoid of any justice; it is nothing but selfish desire, an ugly thing like filth."

"You, what right do you have to talk to me like that? Who do you even think you are!"

The kidnapper leader became enraged and shouted angrily at Shirou.

Shirou, on the other hand, calmly said things that would make people laugh out loud, but his gaze was so firm that no one could laugh at him.

"Because I am a partner of justice."

"justice……"

Upon hearing Shirou's words, the kidnapper leader was stunned.

After a brief hesitation, he suddenly burst into maniacal laughter: "Haha, hahaha, are you trying to disgust me! Don't underestimate me!"

Driven by extreme rage, the kidnapper leader unleashed astonishing speed, charging towards Shirou like a high-speed monster.

"Snapped!"

Although the fighting style was unclear, the skill of a superior swordsman was evident in the opponent.

Fighting such an opponent, Shirou would probably need to use many of his trump cards to defeat him under normal circumstances, if he didn't use the Heroic Spirit Cards to possess him.

But the situation is completely different now; Shirou has the confidence to completely crush his opponent.

Because he now possesses the full power of the Heroic Spirit Emiya!

"Projection, start."

As the kidnapper leader drew ever closer, Shirou calmly and leisurely projected the image.

"puff!"

The burly man's iron sword sliced ​​through the air, grazing Shirou's nose, which he dodged almost effortlessly.

The kidnapper leader grew increasingly angry, but he didn't become overly nervous.

He was an experienced swordsman, but also a ruthless one who would use any means necessary. On many occasions, he was even able to defeat opponents stronger than himself through his despicable methods.

"go to hell!"

The moment the man swung his sword into the air, he suddenly raised his left hand, and a sharp dagger coated with poison emerged from his sleeve.

Northern Divine Style Hidden Weapons.

As the only one of the three major sword styles that does not advocate the use of swords, the successors of the Hokushin-ryu are generally capable of using all sorts of dark and unorthodox techniques.

This even includes traps, hidden weapons, poisoning, murder...
