Dragon of the Root

Chiron and Achilles stood face to face, and Achilles explained to Chiron why he was helping Amakusa Shirou Tokisada.

"Third Magic <Heaven'Feel>...Is that so, if Amakusa Shirou Tokisada uses the power of the Greater Grail, she can indeed reach the level of soul embodiment, thereby saving humanity." Chiron evaluated this idea from a different perspective.

"Yeah, as a fighter, don't you think it's a dream worth betting on? Chiron." asked Achilles.

"Why did you choose such a shallow path, Achilles." Chiron frowned, looking at Achilles with complete disbelief.

What Chiron said was true, this was indeed a very shallow path.

"The history of mankind is the history of war. I have lost too many friends and too many people I love. If I can free people from karma, this is what a hero should do." Achilles looked straight into Chiron eyes, his eyes showing seriousness.

"No! It's just arrogance. You don't want to fight fate, but dominate it," Chiron replied.

In this regard, Achilles was a little disdainful: "Even though this is said, don't you still cling to your lost immortal body."

"Yes, even if it turns into a legend, it is just like a star shining in the sky now." Chiron looked at Sagittarius in the sky thoughtfully.

And even though Chiron parents never loved him in the first place, and his mother even sighed for his centaur after giving birth and volunteered to become a tree, he still hoped to regain the blood relationship between himself and his parents.

"Really, even if you turn into a star, you can't get rid of karma, this is a hero."

After speaking, Achilles raised his spear and aimed at Chiron.

"Come on, Black Archer!"

"Come! Red Raiders!"

Arrows shot through the air and spearheads shot up, and the two continued to jump, sometimes Achilles fought Chiron at close range, and sometimes Chiron shot Achilles from a distance.

But overall, Achilles is at a disadvantage.

"What is it, Achilles, do you only have this ability? This disappoints me as your teacher."

"Damn it!" said Achilles angrily, dodging the arrows.

This is normal too. After all, all of the Achilles techniques were taught by Chiron. Basically, Chiron can almost tell what Achilles wants to do when he moves, and Chiron also has B+-rank Clairvoyance and A-rank Mind's Eye (True).

B-rank Clairvoyance:

Good sight. You can catch your target with your faraway eyes, thanks to this skill that enhances dynamic vision. Due to the good balance with Mind's Eye (True), limited future vision is possible.

Mind's Eye (True) A-Rank:

Insights fostered from training, discipline. Calmly understand the opponent abilities and the difficult situation at hand, and through battle, logic is able to find a way to get out of such situations.

With the effect of <Clairvoyance>, Chiron had short-term vision of the future. Although short, the effect is not small. It should be noted that even the blink of an eye can determine the outcome in most cases.

Achilles who was Chiron disciple, naturally knew his Master skills.

So...

"Diatrekhōn Astēr Lonkhē (Spear-tip of the StarTraversing the Skies)!"

Achilles immediately threw the spear at Chiron side and activated his Noble Phantasm.

The space around him became denser, and Chiron saw the changes around him and said lightly: "Is that so, is that your Noble Phantasm?"

"Yeah, it's a one-on-one match. Unless one side wins, it cannot be resolved. Here, no matter whether it was time, space, or luck, everything was invalid, including immortality and Noble Phantasm. Only one own strength can prevail here, and if one party here fails, that failure will also be transmitted to the outside."

"Although there is a feature that if the opponent is unwilling to advance, it will fail, but we are indeed fighting one-on-one at this time, and I believe Chiron master will not choose to flee."

Chiron replied: "So, as long as I have no thoughts of leaving the battle and running away, this place will not be lost, and the vision of the future will not apply if I am here."

Then Achilles takes the Pankration pose.

"Although I didn't want to fight you before, it's different now. We have a trump card."

Chiron then also left the bow in his hand.

"Since Noble Phantasm has no effect, then I will use Pankration as well."

Chiron and Achilles each touched their fists.

"I am Achilles, Son of the Hero Peleus."

"I am Chiron, Son of the Great God Cronus."

Then the two said at the same time: "Strive to win and lose!"

The two of them moved in an instant.

....

On the other hand, the sky produced colorful ripples, and a rain of arrows all over the sky immediately fell.

Sieg, Astolfo, Frankenstein, and Caules in arrow formation could no longer see them.

But Atalanta who gave up Noble Phantasm real name, didn't relax because in his perception, even though the other party aura was weakening, it didn't disappear.

After that, green thunder and lightning appeared, destroying countless arrows shot down.

Astolfo rode Sieg with the Hippogriff, and there were no traces of arrows fired at them, and even their clothes weren't wrinkled at all.

Frankenstein who had rushed forward earlier, appeared beside Caules.

"Command Seals?" Atalanta said thoughtfully, looking at Frankenstein who had disappeared.

Meanwhile, Frankenstein entire body was covered in arrows, and his body was completely crushed, and Caules, who was protected by him, was not injured in the slightest.

"Berserker…" Caules looked at Frankenstein who was covered with broken arrows, said in an indescribable tone.

Upon seeing the arrow, Caules immediately used Command Seals to bring back Frankenstein who had rushed to protect him.

(Red Archer doesn't care about Berserker, and she purposely set the scope of Noble Phantasm to this side. She is indeed a hero who left his name in history.)

"Aaaah!"

"Wait a minute, Berserker, I'll treat your wound first," Caules said to Frankenstein.

At the same time, Caules said to Astolfo and Sieg who were flying through the air with spiritual communication: "Thank Rider for restraining Archer, otherwise we won't be able to break through."

"Understood!" shouted Astolfo, and rushed with Sieg.

Atalanta who was in a hidden place, looked at the Hippogriff rushing from the sky, and immediately drew his bow and arrow.

After drawing the full sky bow again, by shooting arrows with A-rank arrows.

Atalanta Noble Phantasm <Tauropolos> (Bow of Heaven) can be upgraded to A-Rank after being completely withdrawn.

Knowing the power of this arrow, Astolfo did not choose to fight, but avoided it.

However, just as Astolford dodged, several more arrows came.

In his movement, the Hippogriff dodged the arrows frantically, but there was an arrow hidden behind another arrow. The arrow behind caught up with the arrow in front, causing both arrows to veer at the same time. Towards the Hippogriff who just dodged.

This shows how amazing the archery of this female archer is.

Astolfo knew that the arrow was unavoidable, but he didn't panic.

When the arrow hit Hippogriff, Hippogriff and Astolfo and Sieg on his back disappeared like ghosts.

Re-emergence is somewhere ahead.

"What! Is this <Dimensional Jump>?"

At this moment, the Hippogriff was almost rushing around Atalanta, and Astolfo was also happy.

"Right, this is the Hippogriff special ability <Dimensional Jump>. Even if it's only for a short time, tonight is indeed a moonless night. Don't look down on me, I'm one of Charlemagne twelve paladins!"

Astolfo had a legend of being kidnapped by the moon, so it was no surprise that Astolfo regained his rationality on a moonless night.

Astolfo immediately poured magic power into the Hippogriff, activating a B+ Rank power.

Even though the Hippogriff level was lower than that of the griffon, the beast of the Age of Gods, the devastating attack caused by the Hippogriff was comparable to an A-rank physical attack.

"Go! Hippogriff!"
