Crossover Anime: Starting from Jobless Reincarnation

The passage was narrow and damp; apart from the light at the stone gate, it was pitch black once inside.

The pitch-black tunnel meant nothing to the two of them. Luo Ya raised his hand, and a fireball the size of a fist rose up, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

The musty smell in the air made Roya feel a little uncomfortable, which was why he slowed down.

Claire also smelled the foul odor. Her face contorted in pain as she covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve and walked deeper into the area.

After passing through the tunnel, we arrived at the ancestral hall at the end of the passage. The surrounding area was still rock, and there was a stone path in the vast open space of the ancestral hall.

At the end of this road, which is also the front of the ancestral hall, there is an altar.

On the altar, a sword was engraved with exquisite patterns. The sword was ancient and emitted a faint glow, which stood out in the not-so-bright space.

Roya glanced at Claire, gently nudged her, and said, "Go for it."

Claire took a deep breath, her expression becoming extremely serious. The girl walked to the holy sword stuck in the center of the altar, stretched out her right hand, gripped the hilt tightly, and began to chant: "——————Proud spirit sealed within the ancient holy sword, you should serve me as your master, form a pact, and I will be your scabbard——————"

As Claire's voice echoed in the empty room, a massive energy surge began to spread outwards along the sword, accompanied by a whirlwind that caused Roja's long hair and clothes to sway wildly.

As the girl continuously infused her divine power, the force grew stronger and stronger, and the gale became even more unrestrained, carrying sand and stones in all directions. Roya narrowed his eyes; although he had prepared in advance, he was still surprised.

Roya knew that Claire's divine power was not small, but the current level of divine power already exceeded that of most of the academy's spirit users.

Even so, this divine power still couldn't defeat the opponent.

Even Roya, who was on the periphery, was affected by this divine energy, let alone Claire, who was in the very center.

At this moment, the berserk divine power continued to spread, and the divine power injected into her hands was like a spark igniting explosives. Claire's divine power was constantly resisting the divine power coming from the holy sword.

This process was not easy, but Claire persevered through gritted teeth.

With a resolute expression, the girl gritted her teeth and finished reciting the last verse: "——————I command you to make a pact with me——————"

Claire continuously infused her divine power, attempting to communicate with the spirit residing within the sword.

Unfortunately, the spirit within the sword refused to communicate.

The sword that Claire was holding tightly trembled violently, suddenly bursting forth with astonishing light. With divine power several times greater than before, it launched an attack on Claire. The sword emitted a strong shock, and Claire was directly thrown away by this powerful shock.

Claire let out a painful cry. Seeing that things were not going well, Roya stepped forward and hugged the girl in his arms, relieving her of her strength, and caught her in a princess carry.

Even with their previous close contact, Claire's cheeks flushed instantly at being held in such a shameful position.

"you you you you you"

Claire stammered for a long time without being able to utter a complete sentence. Roya said impatiently, "Stop 'you,' if you want to thank me, wait until later."

As soon as the words were spoken, the silver-white altar suddenly burst out with dazzling light, and a beam of white light shot into the sky, hurtling towards Roya's location at an extremely exaggerated speed.

Four thousand words

Chapter 189 Stalemate

Ignoring Claire's struggles in Roja's arms, Roja quickly dodged to the side. A dazzling white light streaked across the air and, the instant Roja's foot left, pierced the spot where Roja had just been standing.

Even though the attack missed, the dazzling light showed no sign of stopping. The opponent hovered in mid-air, revealing its true appearance.

This is a sword, a steel sword with a silver sheen, its design quite luxurious, immediately giving the impression of its extraordinary nature. The surface of the steel sword is currently enveloped in a faint layer of divine power, and the magnificent blade radiates a formidable aura of divine might.

"As expected, it's a steel-attribute sword spirit."

Claire murmured, looking at the longsword floating in mid-air, radiating powerful divine might, with a longing expression. However, this expression quickly faded, replaced by disappointment.

Without a doubt, she had failed; this sword spirit was far more powerful than she had imagined.

Elves also have different levels.

Generally speaking, from low to high, the levels of spirits in the elemental spirit world can be divided into three tiers: low, middle, and high. However, there is another category of spirits among these three categories: the highest-ranking spirits. These spirits are extremely rare and scarce, and it is very difficult to become their master. Just now, Claire clearly did not gain the other party's recognition. If it weren't for Roya's timely intervention, Claire would already be lying on the floor.

"It seems your contract failed, not only freeing the spirit sealed within the sword, but also causing it to seem to have entered a state of out of control." Roya frowned slightly as he looked at the sword spirit floating in mid-air and spoke to the girl in his arms.

Claire remained silent. The divine power she infused had stimulated the previously dormant elf, making it twice as difficult to form a contract with it now.

After touching Claire's forehead, Roya put her down and said to the girl, "Since you failed, it's my turn next."

Claire opened her mouth, then said defiantly, "I haven't failed. This is just the beginning."

Then, he actually stood directly in front of Roya and quickly chanted: "——————Guardian of the Crimson Flame, Sleepless Keeper of the Hearth——————"

"——————Hereby, the blood pact is fulfilled; obey my commands——————"

Claire's right hand was covered in elven markings, and a scorching aura spread from all around. A crimson color emanated from the back of her hand as powerful divine energy poured into it, and Claire was quickly enveloped in flames.

"Go, Scarlett!"

The flames transformed into a fireball, sweeping towards the location of the sword spirit. The scorching heat surprised even Roya.

The fireball that rushed towards the sword spirit exploded, revealing its true form.

It was an elf, a fire cat that was entirely red and engulfed in flames.

This was the first time Roya had seen the spirit that Claire had contracted. Feeling the divine power emanating from the spirit, Roya was slightly surprised.

Because this fire spirit's level is not low; on the contrary, the opponent is a high-level spirit.

In an era when there were very few top-ranking spirits, high-ranking spirits were basically the strongest spirits that spirit users could contract. Even though Claire possessed such a spirit, she still wanted to contract an even more powerful spirit.

Luo Ya sighed helplessly and continued to focus his attention on the battle.

The cat named Scarlet lunged at its opponent. The surrounding air was distorted and deformed by the high temperature generated by the flames carried by the fire spirit. The fire spirit hissed, stretched out its front paws, its body enveloped in flames, and grabbed directly at its opponent.

Although his movements were a bit strange, Roya did not underestimate his opponent at all.

The holy sword, suspended in mid-air, was prepared. It released its divine power once more, and the silver-white longsword transformed into a dazzling white light, rushing towards the fire spirit.

The steel sword's speed remained incredibly fast; ordinary people could only see a blurry afterimage. Of course, this speed was still far from overwhelming the Flame Spirit.

The flames on the fire spirit's body diminished, while the flames in the cat's outstretched paws expanded rapidly, enveloping its front paws as it fiercely clawed at the oncoming steel sword.

The claws, radiating terrifying heat, collided with the steel sword, and in an instant, sparks rained down from mid-air.

The two collided, sparks flew, and scorching heat flowed from the cat's front paws, wrapping around the steel sword.

Of course, the Holy Sword wouldn't be so foolish as to let itself be enveloped in flames. The sword transformed into a streak of silver light and retreated explosively towards its location.

Seeing this, Claire's face lit up with joy, and she shouted to Roya, "It worked!"

However, Roya's brows remained furrowed. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he shouted to Claire, "This isn't the full power of that sword spirit! Be careful, Claire!"

As soon as Roya finished speaking, while Claire was still in a state of joy, the sharp steel sword suddenly stopped, and then suddenly burst out with a terrifying divine power, like lightning, directly stabbing towards the location of Fire Cat.

This time, the speed suddenly increased several times, so fast that Claire didn't even have time to react.

*Pfft*

The silver-white steel sword pierced through Firecat's body with ease.

"Meow!"

Firecat let out a shrill cry, then struggled violently as it fell from the sky.

Claire's pupils suddenly contracted, and she ran desperately towards the location of the fire spirit, crying out in anguish, "Scarlett!"

Claire's actions were undoubtedly extremely foolish, but she couldn't think that far ahead right now. Although Scarlet was an elf, he had been by her side since childhood and could be considered half family. If anyone could make Claire feel a little warmth in this cold world, Scarlet would undoubtedly be one of them.

The steel sword that pierced through the Flame Spirit turned around, hovering in mid-air before turning back, and its target at this moment was—Claire!

The next moment, the sharp steel sword, transformed into an arrow, once again ripped through space, descending from the sky and shooting swiftly towards Claire's back.

Just as the steel sword was about to strike, a figure silently appeared behind it. Roya grabbed the hilt of the steel sword, activating his dragon blood and magic power simultaneously. His golden eyes shone brightly in that instant. The silver-white steel sword realized it had been grabbed by the elf and tried to struggle, but it quickly realized something was wrong.

It couldn't break free from the boy's wrist; the boy's strength was astonishing.

Chapter 190 Contract Successful

Of course, the steel sword did not give up the struggle. A huge wave of divine power began to surge from its body, attempting to repel Roya directly.

Roya directly channeled his divine power energy into his right hand. The powerful and intense divine power clashed with the divine power contained within the steel sword, causing them to mutually deplete each other.

However, Roya's actions undoubtedly struck the steel sword hard, causing it to tremble violently. At the same time, Roya raised an eyebrow, feeling a surge of divine power that forcefully resisted the divine power he had released.

This was the first time Roya had encountered such a situation.

Luo Ya murmured, "Even without a master, can it contend with my branch hall on its own? I'm determined to have this sword."

What Roya has always been most proud of is his terrifying magical power. Even though he cannot use magic in this world, his magic can be transformed into divine power without any loss. He has never seen anyone who can directly resist his magic.

He mobilized all the magic power in his body, quickly converting it into divine might. The violent fluctuations of divine might spread outwards in all directions, and the sharp steel sword seemed to be truly enraged.

Amidst the tremors of the air and space, an even more ferocious divine power erupted. This divine power transformed into a shockwave, striking the divine energy attacking from Roya's right hand.

The two divine powers clashed once more, the divine power carrying a strong, scorching aura continuously burning the divine power emanating from the steel sword, the two different types of divine power intertwining with each other.

The violent power spread in all directions, and the gale blew everything in sight away. Even Claire took two steps back under this terrifying force. Before she could even grieve for her lost elf, Claire stared in disbelief at the aftershocks of the collision between Roya and the Holy Sword.

This was the first time Claire had seen Roya in action. Claire knew Roya was strong, but she had no idea he was this powerful.

This level of divine power alone is enough to place him at the top of the entire academy.

If Roya knew Claire's thoughts, he would probably burst out laughing.

In fact, let alone the entire academy, there are probably very few people on the entire continent who can rival Roya in terms of divine power.

This time, however, Roya had met his match. The two sides were locked in a stalemate, their divine powers clashing and neither giving way, yet they remained evenly matched.
