Chapter 629

Illya: "Does this count as a flash marriage? After all, they've only known each other for a few days."

Jeanne: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Sieg: "That, I don't have that intention toward Miss Jeanne d'Arc yet, so—"

Illya: "Oh my, it's only a matter of time."

Sieg: "..."

Gilles de Rais: "I'll kill you! I must kill you! Sieg!!!"

【"Command my body with a Command Spell—"】

【At this moment, Sieg saw Siegfried appear before his eyes.】

【Sieg didn't know what to say to him, only able to look at him with a firm gaze.】

【Siegfried smiled, nodded, and disappeared before his eyes.】

【The next moment, the swelling sword energy was like a giant wave, pushing Karna's attack back.】

【The overwhelming disadvantage began to turn into a stalemate, or rather, an advantage.】

【Karna looked at this scene, no longer knowing what expression to show.】

【Originally a clash of sword and spear, it had now become a contest between the wills of two Servants.】

Rin Tohsaka: "He actually pushed it back! Is this a counter-kill!"

Siegfried: "Impossible, even if Sieg's will is strong, my Noble Phantasm still cannot compare to Karna's. Moreover, Karna's will is not necessarily inferior to Sieg's."

Waver: "That's right, that person is, after all, a hero who has been through hundreds of battles."

【Sieg's will to survive was indeed strong, but compared to the iron will Karna had forged in his life, it was still lacking.】

【The divine spear slowly pushed the sword back; there were no miracles, no coincidences, and no reinforcements—】

【No, this really couldn't be said for sure.】

【"Haaaaaa!"】

【In the astonished gaze of everyone, a figure intervened in this clash.】

【But, the intervention was completely meaningless.】

【The Anti-Divine Noble Phantasm 'O Sun, Obey Death', with its power sufficient to kill gods, was meaningless before it, not just for heroes, but even for magical beasts, phantasmal beasts, divine beasts, shields, castles, and barriers.】

【Unless—】

【"I won't let you throw your life away!"】

【A small figure stood in front of Sieg, and a round shield was erected.】

【"That shield, what is it?"】

Caules: "Astolfo! And you said you didn't hide a Noble Phantasm! What is this?"

Astolfo: "Ah (? ◇?)?"

Astolfo: "What Noble Phantasm is this? I don't have any memory of it. Could it be that I have amnesia?"

Karna: "..."

Karna had already recognized this shield and felt quite speechless.】

Iskandar: "Eh? Isn't this yours, Achilles—"

Achilles: "... Ahem, that's right, this is my Noble Phantasm."

Everyone: "Ah???"

【"What's this? A shield?"】

【Time returned to before, Astolfo looked at the thing Achilles gave him, looking confused.】

【"This, isn't this your Noble Phantasm?"】

【Achilles: "Yes, take it, it's a gift."】

【Astolfo: "What?"】

【Achilles: "If you can use it to block Lancer's attack, perhaps you can seize an opportunity."】

【Astolfo: "No, that's not it, that's what you say, but... are you serious?"】

【Achilles: "Yes, I'm serious. Hey, don't worry, this is just me keeping a promise; it has nothing to do with you. If you don't want it, give it back."】

【Astolfo hurriedly held the shield in his arms, looking conflicted: "Is that promise really that important?"】

【Achilles: "—Yes, very important."】

【Astolfo: "Then I'll take it."】

【Achilles: "I'll tell you its true name. This shield is my world, everything I have felt through my own body."】

【This was a divine construct manufactured by the god Hephaestus, commissioned by Achilles' mother Thetis, which projected the world Achilles had seen; its true name is—】

【"'Achaean World that Encloses the Skies'!"】

Amakusa Shirou: "Sigh (ｕДｕ〃)..."

Empress: "┑(@Д@)┍"

Achilles, what are you trying to do!

It was one thing to let Jeanne d'Arc go while fighting Atalanta, but now you've given your own shield to the enemy, and it sounds like you intended for them to use it against Karna.】

What do you want? Do you have a grudge against Karna? Why help the enemy deal with him like this!】

Rin Tohsaka: "You, this is really not as practical as just switching sides."

Atalanta: "You brat, what exactly do you want to do?"

Achilles: "..."

Don't look for him; he wants to be quiet now.】

He also couldn't understand what he was doing in the video. But looking at the situation, it seemed related to the promise he made before Chiron died.】

Chiron, what exactly did you say!】

【The world engraved on the shield rotated and unfolded, forcefully blocking Karna's attack.】

【This was using a world as a shield, so except for Anti-World Noble Phantasms, any attack could be blocked, even an Anti-Divine Noble Phantasm was no exception.】

【"You're kidding..."】

【Caules looked at this scene, completely dumbfounded.】

【The Spear that Kills Gods, which he thought had no means of being blocked, was actually blocked.】

Rin Tohsaka: "It actually blocked it! And it looks like a complete defense!"】

Feng Xi: "Achilles' shield is a defensive barrier Noble Phantasm; once activated, almost all attacks can be completely defended against, except for Anti-World Noble Phantasms specifically designed to counter barriers."】

Achilles: "You know quite a bit."

Waver: "That means, even an Anti-Divine Noble Phantasm cannot break its defense."

Achilles: "Of course. After all, what is recorded on this shield is my world." ===== CHAPTER 631 =====
