Chapter 327

【Suddenly, Achilles initiated a change in tactics, rushing into Chiron's embrace. Chiron subconsciously executed a right knee strike, but the opponent grabbed his knee and performed a counter-throw, slamming him face-down onto the ground.】

【Chiron rolled over, wanting to counterattack, but Achilles grabbed his ankle tightly and wouldn't let go, then exerted force, intending to destroy his knee.】

【Achilles had expected Chiron to perform a reverse rotation to execute a kicking technique to counter, but he didn't expect the opponent to simply support himself with both hands on the ground and lift Achilles up with the strength of his single right leg.】

【Helpless, Achilles could only let go and open up distance from Chiron.】

Rin Tohsaka: "Oh, what an intense battle; both of their moves were unexpected by the other."】

Chiron: "Hahaha, I didn't expect to be the one to slip up first. You did well, Achilles."】

Achilles: "Haha, I've also grown since leaving you, Teacher. Instead, you also surprised me, actually thinking of relying on strength to break the deadlock."】

Chiron: "After all, you and I know each other too well."】

【Chiron reflected on himself; because the opponent was his own student and they knew each other too well, he had involuntarily relaxed his vigilance—truly inexcusable.】

【The exchange between the two began again. This time, Chiron initiated the attack first, a mid-air flying kick aimed at Achilles' temple, which was blocked by the opponent raising his hand.】

【Chiron directly used the momentum to reverse, another flying kick. This time, Achilles did not defend, but seized the opportunity to punch.】

【Achilles' head took a heavy blow, and Chiron's chest also suffered a heavy hit.】

【Achilles endured the intense pain and kicked at the face of the landing Chiron.】

【This time it was Chiron's turn to raise his hand to defend, and he was directly kicked away with great force.】

【Achilles used the "Comet Run" to catch up and unleashed a flurry of punches.】

【Chiron judged and caught Achilles' fist, but then his whole body felt a strong sense of crisis.】

【Achilles had long guessed that Chiron could catch his fist, so he accelerated the speed of his other fist to a point where Chiron couldn't react, turning his fist into a blade and aiming straight for Chiron's throat.】

【However, Chiron also reacted quickly, successfully grabbing the opponent's arm before being hit, resolving the crisis, and then wrapping his feet around Achilles' neck, exerting force to break Achilles' left arm.】

【But Achilles also seized this opportunity, enduring the intense pain to pierce Chiron's chest with his right fist.】

【Although he paid with a left arm, he felt it was quite worth it.】

【As long as he returned to reality, his left arm would immediately recover.】

Waver: "Hiss, that really is tragic."】

Achilles: "Hahaha, what's a little injury like this?"】

Rin Tohsaka: "Trading injury for injury, that really is a wild combat method."】

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "..."】

He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he always felt that his eldest daughter was very interested in this kind of battle.】

【Chiron endured the intense pain and executed a right roundhouse kick, but it was dodged by Achilles. Just as the opponent was about to counterattack, he also felt a strong sense of crisis.】

【Chiron quickly changed his tactics, kicking out fiercely, but it was successfully blocked by Achilles, who had reacted.】

【Achilles also seized this opportunity, punching Chiron's heel; the intense pain directly caused Chiron to lose his balance.】

【Achilles pressed the attack, grabbing the opponent to throw him out, but in the blink of an eye, it was he who was thrown out.】

【It was the same situation as before.】

Chiron: "Haha, Achilles, you suffered a loss just now, why didn't you learn your lesson?"】

Achilles: "Fighting to that extent, how could I think about so much?"】

【Both sides entered the fist-to-flesh punching segment again, only this time Chiron was the main attacker, while Achilles was constantly defending.】

【He was looking for an opportunity for a one-hit kill.】

【Finally, he seized a flaw and punched Chiron's Spirit Core.】

【"Teacher Chiron, Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take this. This is my fist, my sword, my spear, my strike, my everything!"】

【What kind of training was this move the product of? What kind of opponent could it defeat? And could he himself withstand it?】

【The moment he took the hit, Chiron understood.】

【The first thought that flashed through his mind was the praise of 'Beautiful'.】

【This punch wasn't something just anyone could throw; it was a punch that existed in a realm reached only by a hero born as a hero and who studied without slackening, not in the least inferior to a Noble Phantasm.】

【"... eautiful."】

【"... hank you."】

【Chiron fell heavily, unable to climb up again.】

Fiore: "Sigh..."】

Rin Tohsaka: "To think it was a one-hit victory."】

Iskandar: "Oh, this is a punch trained to the extreme!"】

Feng Xi: "This is what is called, I can make many mistakes, but you can only make one."】

Chiron: "... ell said, I hit so many times, yet it wasn't as effective as your one hit."】

Chiron: "Achilles, you actually taught me, your teacher, a lesson this time."】

Achilles: "Hehe."】

【Achilles endured the intense pain in his body and stepped forward to pull out the meteor spear. The arena was dispelled, and the surroundings immediately returned to normal.】

【Although his abilities were restored, Achilles' injuries still needed time to heal, and Chiron's Spirit Core could not be repaired.】

【Achilles: "Teacher, thank you."】

【Chiron: "Achilles, I should be the one thanking you... You are strong, truly the strongest."】

【Achilles: "Teacher... my strength, my technique, were all obtained because of you; it is all thanks to your excellent teaching."】

【Chiron: "Don't call me Teacher anymore; I am no longer in a position to be called that by you. Since the duel is over, you should call me Black Archer. Achilles, send me on my way."】

【Achilles: "... can't do it."】

Waver: "Although he won, to have to personally finish off his own teacher, that is still..."】

Kayneth: "Hmph, the Spirit Core is shattered; even if Achilles doesn't do it, Chiron won't last long."】

Achilles: "You lost the battle, yet you say such things. Teacher Chiron, you really are heartless."】

Chiron: "Hahaha, Achilles, let your teacher give you one last lesson."】

Achilles: "Ah???"】

【Chiron: "... he reason I didn't use a Noble Phantasm when I fought you is because there was a reason."】

【"A reason?"】

【Achilles was stunned for a moment, then felt a chill run through his whole body, hurriedly opening up distance from Chiron.】

【"The star hanging in the sky, if that is me, then I am always nocking an arrow."】

【Chiron smiled faintly: "In other words, the Noble Phantasm has already been activated, and the target point has been set. I don't need to accumulate magical energy, I don't even need to call out the true name to activate it, because I have already completed—the action of aiming and firing."】

【"Antares Snipe," activated!】

【The meteor transformed into an arrow and fell, directly piercing Achilles' heel.】

【"Aaaaaaaaaa..."】

【The familiar pain from his memory came; his weakness was pierced. Even a tough guy like Achilles couldn't help but cry out in pain for a moment.】

【"Archer, you!"】

【"Did my star correctly pierce the point it should have?... ntil the very end, I seem to have finally completed my task as a Servant."】

【The plane crashed; Achilles endured the intense pain and jumped to another plane, while Chiron disappeared into points of light as the plane fell.】

【Black Archer, Chiron, exits.】

【"... eacher, you are treacherous."】

【Achilles had a bitter expression; he didn't expect that in the end, he would still be taught a lesson by his teacher.】

【Do not forget the opponent's identity, and do not relax your vigilance until the very last moment.】

Achilles: "Damn it! Teacher, you actually backstabbed me!"】

Chiron: "Hahaha, this is 'all is fair in war'; it seems your training is still not enough."】

Rin Tohsaka: "As expected of Teacher Horse, to give his student a lesson even at the very end."】

Achilles: "I was really thoroughly educated."】

The Empress: "Idiot, you clearly won, yet you flipped the car at the last moment."】

Achilles: "None of your business."】

Waver: "Achilles' heel was pierced; Achilles' strength will definitely be greatly reduced. Chiron helped the Black faction one last time before exiting."】

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "But even so, Achilles is still alive, and the Red faction still has a great enemy in Karna, while the Black faction has lost a Servant first. No matter how you look at it, the situation is disadvantageous for the Black faction."】

Fiore: "Indeed."】

【"Ah!!!"】

【Just as Achilles was still feeling emotional, an unreasonable roar suddenly drew his attention back.】

【"What is that?"】

【Achilles looked in the direction of the sound, and when he saw that familiar yet strange figure, he was stunned.】

【What he was looking at was the demon-transformed Atalanta who was fighting Jeanne.】

【Time returned to before.】

【A piece of flesh was torn from her shoulder; stimulated by the pain, Jeanne finally reacted and hurriedly swung her holy banner to force Atalanta back.】

【However, the demon-transformed Atalanta was completely different from before; not only had her speed increased significantly, but her attacks had also become completely without pattern, leaving Jeanne at a loss for how to deal with it for a moment.】

【The current Atalanta could no longer be considered a Heroic Spirit, but a Phantasmal Beast.】
