Chapter 623

【This is a simulated rifling effect, an archery method that a biological being could never use.】

Jeanne: "This attack method—"

Emiya Kiritsugu: "Actually shooting the arrow in the way of a bullet?"

Caules: "Good guy, it's truly too bizarre, this attack method."

Rin Tohsaka: "Atalanta has completely turned into a monster."

Waver: "It should be said, a Demonic Beast."

Achilles: "You saw it, Big Sis, you have been controlled by the Demonic Beast of Calydon."

Atalanta: "..."

【The destructive power of this arrow is absolutely comparable to a Noble Phantasm; once it hits, Jeanne is definitely dead.】

【But just the next moment, her arrow was actually knocked down by an attack.】

【"What!"】

【Atalanta was stunned, then quickly retreated and fired five arrows in a row, but all were knocked down.】

【"Who is it? Who can knock down my arrows so calmly?"】

【Reason swallowed, Atalanta's vision had become blurry, and even the sound couldn't be heard clearly.】

【"Alright, ■ first ■, this is the ■■ for me and ■■ to make a break."】

【"... I ■■, then ■■, ■■, wish you success."】

【"■ died, don't dawdle—you hurry ■■■■—"】

【"Can't see who it is, can't hear the opponent's voice either... forget it, as long as I kill."】

【Atalanta roared and killed toward that person, and the object of her attack was the person who called her Big Sis with a smile all day long.】

【"... The one who will defeat you is me!"】

【Although the vital point was pierced, this didn't affect the man's martial power at all.】

【Achilles, now, was about to take action against the person he respected most.】

【Just because of respect, so he had to stop the opponent.】

Waver: "Sure enough, it's completely unable to distinguish between enemy and friend."

Semiramis: "You two, what exactly are you doing!"

Such a good situation, it was about to solve Jeanne, but you two actually started fighting among yourselves; it really made her angry to death.】

What does Achilles want to do? Can't he wait until Jeanne is killed by Atalanta before taking action?】

Sure enough, these guys say they will obey orders on the surface, but actually, each of them has different intentions.】

Amakusa Shirou: "Forget it, anyway, we have already lost."】

Semiramis: "Hmph!"】

【Achilles leaped to meet Atalanta; the opponent shot an arrow directly, breaking through Achilles' defense with powerful brute force and inserting it into the opponent's shoulder.】

【But Achilles didn't have the slightest wavering, directly grabbing Atalanta and slamming her heavily onto the stone platform.】

【Atalanta, who couldn't break free, actually forcibly twisted her whole body, maintaining a head-down, feet-up state, and continued to shoot arrows at Achilles in this weird posture.】

【Achilles didn't expect the opponent to have such a ridiculous attack method, hurriedly dodging backward, but still had his neck scratched, and blood overflowed.】

Achilles: "Uh, Big Sis, this attack method of yours is really... unexpected."

Atalanta: "Are you mocking me?"

Achilles: "How could that be, you're overthinking it."

【Achilles didn't dare to be careless anymore, directly pulling up the meteor spear to block the subsequent arrows.】

【Atalanta rushed up, Achilles directly hit the opponent with a heavy blow and flew her out, but his own chest also took a hit from the opponent. Fortunately, he was wearing a breastplate, so the injury wasn't heavy.】

【Turning into such a situation, Achilles couldn't help but think of the curse of the meteor spear in his hand.】

【Although this spear had defeated many heroes, it had received a curse.】

【One day, this spear will kill the object you respect—】

【That was shortly after defeating Hector; Amazon Queen Penthesilea led troops to support Troy, but they all died by his hand.】

【Because of curiosity, Achilles took off the opponent's helmet, wanting to see what the opponent looked like, but committed a great taboo.】

【Achilles' behavior was a great humiliation to the opponent.】

【Therefore, before Penthesilea died, she planted a curse on Achilles.】

【"I curse you, that spear of yours will one day pierce the object you respect—"】

【Achilles didn't take it seriously at all, because he died not long after.】

【But didn't expect, now that he had obtained a second life, her curse actually came true!】

【He now must pay the price for his superficial curiosity.】

Achilles: "... Sigh."

Waver: "So there was such a curse on your spear?"

Achilles: "Yes, I almost forgot this curse myself; didn't expect..."

Rin Tohsaka: "It's okay, at least it didn't take effect now, right?"

Achilles: "That's true; it seems this Holy Grail War changing drastically is still a good thing for me."

【Achilles dodged Atalanta's three arrows; the injury on his heel was worsening.】

【Atalanta also discovered this and immediately took the fastest speed, starting to launch attacks around Achilles.】

【First shoot an arrow from the front, then quickly go behind him and shoot another arrow; both were blocked by Achilles.】

【But this also reached the limit of Achilles' current speed.】

【The next arrow, Atalanta directly used the greatest strength, aiming straight for Achilles' forehead.】

【"Ooooooh—"】

【Achilles roared, pouring all his strength to block this arrow.】

【But as a price, his whole body cracked, blood flowed, his internal organs were severely damaged, and even his seven orifices began to bleed.】

【This appearance was almost no different from being dead.】

Illya: "My god! So tragic."

Rin Tohsaka: "Seeing you so calm before, I thought there was nothing serious; didn't expect—"

Achilles: "How could it be nothing serious; that is my vital point."

Chiron: "If you stop fighting to treat it, maybe you can hold on for a while longer."

Achilles: "Don't joke, as a warrior, you have to die on the battlefield; lingering on is not my style."

【Achilles stood there, enduring it; Atalanta could feel his breath was weak and he was on the verge of death; even if she didn't care about him, it wouldn't matter.】

【But Atalanta, although reason was swallowed, still had some judgment.】

【The opponent is a Heroic Spirit; as long as he is not dead, there is a chance to reverse the victory or defeat.】

【"Bow of the Dark Sky—pierce through!"】

【Without any holding back, Atalanta landed in front of Achilles, an arrow aiming straight for the opponent's spirit core.】

【He was about to welcome his second death; Achilles had already accepted this point.】

【Although he accepted it, there was still one thing he couldn't concede.】

【His spear was cursed.】

【"Go! Dromeus Kometes!"】

【The meteor spear and the black arrow crossed, not colliding together.】

【Achilles willingly accepted the black arrow, while Atalanta tried to dodge, but was a step slow; a few short seconds decided success or failure.】

【"Wu..."】

【Atalanta's abdomen was pierced; although it was a fatal injury, it wouldn't lead to death.】

【"Wu haaaaa—!"】

【Achilles, however, dragged his heavily injured body and quickly ran across the battlefield.】

【Atalanta wanted to meet the attack, but her movements were completely blocked by the spear piercing her body.】

【So Atalanta could only draw her bow and shoot three arrows in a row, but didn't expect Achilles to have no intention of dodging at all.】

【Abdomen, thigh, chest cavity.】

【These injuries were meaningless, because Achilles was already covered in wounds.】

Waver: "Because it was destined to be eliminated, he didn't care about the injuries on his body at all."

Rin Tohsaka: "It really is, too tragic."
