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

This practice goes beyond moral standards like kindness; it could even be considered saintly.

No, even a saint wouldn't necessarily do something so altruistic. Only someone with an absolute, even pathological, obsession with justice would do such a thing.

Only those who are partners in justice would make such a steadfast choice.

"Shirou..."

Alice looked at the red-haired boy who had taken her place and was being held to the neck by Thomas with a knife, and her feelings were a mix of emotions.

She had previously disliked and rejected the new tutor, and had done so many unreasonable things to her.

Now, the other party is using their own sacrifice as a condition for Alice's safety, which is completely unacceptable to Alice. It is even the first time that she has felt a sense of guilt.

Apart from Alice herself, everyone else in the Boreas family had complicated expressions.

As the head of the Boreas family, Sauros had not taken any action since Thomas went berserk. This usually hot-tempered old man, who seemed to do anything without considering the consequences, was now, for the first time, caught in a state of hesitation and indecision.

This state worsened after Shirou was captured by Thomas and a dagger was held to his neck; the old man's anxiety was even palpable.

This shows that although Sauros appears rough on the surface, he is actually a thoughtful person who values ​​his family more than anyone else.

To protect his family, he was even willing to give up his pride and dignity in order to ensure their safety.

"Shirou..."

Philip and his wife looked at Shirou with mixed feelings, happy that their daughter Alice was safe, worried about Shirou's predicament, and shocked by Shirou's choice to sacrifice himself to save her.

The couple never expected that this child from the Grellatt family would stand up for Alice and put himself in this difficult situation alone.

"..."

The couple eventually fell silent, and could only hold Alice tightly as she returned, their eyes fixed on Shirou, who was being held captive by Thomas in the distance.

Of all those present, Gilead's attitude was the most unique.

Although she was surprised by Shirou's actions, she was not too worried about Shirou replacing Alice as a hostage.

Because she was the only one among everyone who knew Shirou's immense strength, and also his unique magic that could create weapons.

Thomas probably saw that Shirou wasn't carrying any weapons, and even a highly skilled swordsman couldn't fight without a sword, so he confidently swapped him with Alice.

However, Shirou could actually use sword magic to create a weapon out of thin air and break the current dangerous situation.

Of course, even knowing that Shirou could create swords using sword magic, Kyrie Irvine could hardly imagine how Shirou could break out of his current predicament, because Thomas clearly wouldn't give him the chance to use magic. Even if Shirou created a sword through magic, the opponent's dagger would definitely pierce Shirou's neck at an even faster speed.

The current situation can be described as a dead end; even Gilead cannot imagine how Shirou could possibly break this crisis.

However, Gilead soon discovered that Shirou himself did not seem to be in as much pain as he had imagined.

Although the boy appeared to have mixed feelings, it seemed more like acting, because besides his expression and movements, what best highlights a person's emotions is his eyes.

Shirou's eyes at this moment showed none of the wavering look that only appears when someone is in dire straits.

The red-haired boy's eyes showed not so much unwavering resolve as an indescribable determination and realization!

Seeing that moment of enlightenment, Kyrie Irvine even recalled his swordsmanship teacher.

Kyrie I had never seen such a gaze before in his entire life, only in the eyes of his master.

Her master was the only sword god in the world, the strongest in the sword god school, and arguably the strongest among humans.

The thought that Shirou could have a similar look in his eyes to his master sent a complex emotion through Kyrie Irving’s heart.

While most people had mixed feelings about Shirou, Thomas wasn't thinking about it too much at the moment.

He didn't think Shirou had any ability to resist him, so after he had the boy under control, he instinctively began to think about what to do next.

First, he had just asked Philip to prepare a carriage. Next, he only needed to tie Shirou up and put him in the carriage to leave Bereas Castle and get away from the territory of Fituia.

Although he didn't do a very good job on this mission, he didn't betray the nobleman Darius, so he can go to the capital to seek refuge with Darius.

Alternatively, leaving the Kingdom of Asura directly is also an option. It is said that the Magic Kingdom in the north has been doing well recently and does not care about the identity of outsiders, making it a good place to seek refuge.

By the way, once we get there, we can sell this guy named Shirou into slavery, which should make us a lot of money.

Thomas was thinking all sorts of selfish things and fantasizing about the wonderful life he would have after leaving the Boreas family.

Unbeknownst to him, Shirou, whom he held tightly in his arms, had his right hand gradually emitting a faint light, and a trace of magic was spreading through it.

Projection, begin!

Since he couldn't alert the enemy, Shirou could only keep it to himself.

He would not be easily controlled by Thomas. Although he voluntarily exchanged Alice, it was not because he was too hypocritical, but because he was confident that he could resolve this trouble.

Although there might be some cost, for Shirou, the cost he himself would pay is the least important thing to consider.

Because this is the justice he seeks.

"Snapped!"

As nearly half of Shirou's magic circuits in his right hand began to activate, the art of projection once again erupted from his body.

Moreover, unlike the situation when he fought the Red Dragon, what Shirou is projecting now is not a powerful weapon created to defeat a strong enemy.

On the contrary, the weapon he created this time was a specially designed tool to protect himself and prevent himself from being put in danger!

"Pfft!"

As the torrent of magic gradually spread, Shirou suddenly raised his arm, and a bright silver knight's sword that looked sacred appeared in his hand!

Projection weapon, the indestructible ultimate saint!

Legend has it that Charlemagne had twelve warriors under his command, the most outstanding of whom was a man known as Roland.

The holy sword he wields is named Durandal, and is also known as the "Indestructible Holy Sword" because the blade of Durandal contains the tooth of Saint Peter, the blood of Saint Basil, the hair of Saint Denis, and a piece of the Virgin Mary's garment (another version says it contains a hair of Jesus).

The most distinctive feature of this sword is its almost unbreakable toughness. Durandal is virtually indestructible by any external force, hence its nickname, the Unbreakable Blade.

Of course, its most important characteristic is the nature of the holy sword itself, which bestows the power of protection.

Due to the sacredness of the Holy Sword itself, the user will receive various indescribable enhancements when wielding Durandal, and legend has it that they can even be protected by God and angels.

Of course, the holy sword Durandal projected by Shirou was definitely not that exaggerated.

Even so, its effects still exist, granting the holder a significant boost and providing protection.

At that moment, Shirou suddenly grabbed Durandal, fully activating the magic circuits on his arm and granting himself an attribute enhancement.

"Boom!"

Such a commotion naturally caught Thomas's attention.

The butler never expected that the boy in his arms would dare to resist at a time like this, so he slowed down and didn't act immediately.

Shirou seized the opportunity without hesitation and slashed directly at Thomas with his sword!

This sword strike unleashed the full power of his Silent Katana, aiming to instantly annihilate this greedy and vile butler!

"Snapped!"

Faced with this sword strike that seemed to cleave even space itself, Thomas didn't even sense the approach of death.

Only when the sharp blade was about to touch him, and death was imminent, did he suddenly grit his teeth and stab Shirou with the dagger in his hand!

"Pfft!"

In an instant, blood splattered from the center of the living room.

Thomas the butler stood there, his eyes wide open!

He seemed unaware until his very last moment that he had already faced death and lost his life.

"Clap!"

As Thomas's body was cleaved open by a sword, blood gushing out, Shirou, at the same time releasing the projected Durandal, suddenly felt a suffocating pain in his neck.

Although he was moving very fast, Thomas still managed to pierce his skin with the dagger.

Fortunately, it didn't completely hit any vital organs, but the continuous bleeding was still rapidly draining his strength.

"boom……"

Shirou collapsed from exhaustion.

"Shirou!"

Upon witnessing this scene, the members of the Boreas family were in a state of unprecedented panic.

The whole family completely forgot about the tragic death of Thomas and gathered around Shirou. Even Alice showed a panicked expression, extremely worried about Shirou's safety!

Chapter 112 Everyone in this family is seriously mentally ill!

After Shirou killed the butler Thomas with a single sword strike, he himself was stabbed in the throat by a dagger due to Thomas's berserk state. Fortunately, he was fast enough that Thomas didn't have time to react. In addition, Shirou used magic to enhance his abilities and even used the indestructible Extreme Saint Durandal, using this angel sword to give himself a layer of protection.

So even though Shirou's throat was slashed by a dagger, he was not actually in any danger of dying.

Although it appears to have bled a lot, it can be completely healed with a simple healing magic trick, or even just by bandaging.

However, Shirou never expected that the Boreas family didn't seem to think that way about his condition.

The people in this family are generally a group of stubborn freaks who think "I have to think," not "you have to think." So much so that even though Shirou clearly doesn't think he has any serious illness, he is still forced to stay in the medical clinic and is personally cared for by several beastman maids from the Boreas family.

Shaoluos even summoned the best doctors and healers to conduct a comprehensive examination of Shirou's body to prevent any long-term effects.

Shirou was truly exasperated by the Boreas family's overreaction.

But he didn't feel bad about it.

He could feel the care the Boreas family showed him through their actions. Although their actions were a bit excessive, it was still a reflection of the Boreas family's love for their members and how they truly regarded Shirou as a member of their family.

Of course, no matter how psychologically you feel about it.

In reality, Shirou was somewhat uncomfortable with several animal-eared maids constantly surrounding him, and with him not allowed to go out at all.

So every evening, he would try his best to sneak out of the ward when no one was around and find a secluded place to practice his swordsmanship.

This fusion with the Heroic Spirit Card brought him a step closer to understanding the power of the Heroic Spirit Emiya, and allowed him to further comprehend what true projection is.

However, the magic circuits at the Heroic Spirit level were still a huge burden for him.

Each use of it causes the power of the heroic spirit to further erode him.

Like this time, when using projection to create an indestructible ultimate saint, although the intensity of this projection was far less than the one that shot down a hundred heads, Shirou could clearly notice that the white hair on his head had expanded a bit more than before after it ended, which meant that he had been further affected by the power of the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

This was undoubtedly unacceptable to Shirou, and he began to look for a way to replace the projection and enhance his normal combat power.

But at present, apart from learning the Sword God style, he can't find any particularly good way.

Shirou can only set his sights on the higher-level Sword God style for the time being.

Besides these matters, the trial of Thomas and the kidnappers has also come to an end.

The Boreas family has essentially confirmed that the mastermind behind the kidnapping is Darius, a high-ranking nobleman in the capital.

The mention of Darius's name inexplicably weighed heavily on the hearts of everyone in the Boreas family.

The reason is simple: the other party's status is simply too high.

Darius was born into a prominent family and was bathed in the aura of power from a young age. He easily rose to the pinnacle of power and became a high-ranking minister in the Kingdom of Asura.

He not only wielded great power and held a prominent position, but also possessed an extremely elite private army, which was said to be able to rival the kingdom's army.

Meanwhile, Darius himself continued to climb the ladder of power, and his influence was virtually ubiquitous throughout the kingdom.

He used his power to manipulate the kingdom's decisions, exclude dissidents, and consolidate his own position.

Ultimately, he not only eliminated all his political enemies in the kingdom's upper echelons and built up his own power base, but even the heir to the throne had to rely on him to ensure his own ascension to the throne.

Of course, if that were all, Darius would at most be considered a tyrant, not a pure villain.

But even such a man, who had reached the pinnacle of power, gradually had his mind corrupted by the passage of time, making him increasingly greedy and cruel.

His morbid obsession with little girls pushed him into a moral abyss, turning him into a despicable monster.

To satisfy his own desires, he secretly plotted a series of heinous schemes, especially targeting the children of noble families.

For targets he was interested in or liked, he would often send people to secretly kidnap them to his territory. After playing with them at will and losing interest, he would send them to the slave market or execute them.

It can be said that Darius was pure evil.

He twisted power into a tool to satisfy his own selfish desires, and he also trampled on the lives and dignity of others without any mercy.

Therefore, when the Boreas family learned that Alice's kidnapping was related to a high-ranking noble, they were almost 100% certain that it was Darius's doing.

However, the Bereas clan was helpless in this matter. They had no way to confront or punish Darius. Even though they knew he was the murderer, they could only pretend nothing was wrong and swallow their anger.

Shirou fully understands the choice made by the Boreas family.
