Since she was going to give it a try, Artoria would naturally not continue to stay in this miserable situation of being neither up nor down and being used as a target by Chiron.
She bent her waist slightly, and suddenly exerted force with her left arm that was holding the long sword, causing her body to swing upwards. Although she did it hastily, her posture was more agile than that of a professional gymnast.
This action naturally did not escape Chiron's eyes. After entering the field of calculating the future, he easily read Altria's intention.
"Oh, we need to continue the assault, then—"
One bow, two arrows, each arrow was shot along a different trajectory, respectively hitting Artoria's face and her left hand which was the only support point.
As her body moved upward, Artoria knew that Chiron would attack, and her "intuition" skill had already been activated to the maximum. The magic power converted from the dragon factor spread to every corner of her body and every nerve ending.
Success or failure depends on this one move.
The Knight King was concentrating with a clear mind. In front of him were arrows approaching in different directions. In his mind, he could picture the trajectory, landing point, and force of the arrows. His intuition, which was beyond the "A++" level he had "in his lifetime", was pushed to the limit.
"Hah!!!" Because of the activation of the dragon factor, Altria's voice also had a bit of dragon roar meaning.
The two legs that were originally together suddenly separated, and the left leg was raised high, kicking away the arrow shot at the left hand. At the same time, the holy spear in the right hand drew a simple arc, blocking the arrow aimed at the face, perfectly resolving Chiron's double arrows, which made the latter praise for a while.
But praise does not make Chiron show mercy. The more experienced Altria appears, the more he wants to defeat her.
The bow is fully strung, the magic power is overflowing - let's see how you can block my full-strength arrow!
How to block it
No need to block it! Chiron's arrow missed.
At the moment the arrow left the bow, Artoria pulled out the long sword nailed to the city wall, and then - the silver armor that wrapped her whole body and provided her with tight protection suddenly collapsed.
This was certainly not caused by Chiron's attack, but the owner of the armor took the initiative to remove the armor. This is also the reason why Artoria can bend over and do gymnastics while wearing heavy armor. She has been gradually removing the armor.
Altria's armor, the spirit clothing of the heroic spirit, is made of magic power. The more complex and heavy the equipment is, the more magic power it consumes. This magic power is not a heavy burden for Altria, who has the dragon gene and can generate magic power just by breathing, but at this critical moment, it is enough to become an important weight to determine the outcome.
Without the restraint of the armor, the Knight King's body suddenly felt lighter, and his movements were nearly twice as agile as when he was wearing armor. Not only that, the magic power used to maintain the armor was also emptied -
This time, the real magic is released with full force!
This time, Altria's A-level magic power, which was no less powerful than any other magician's, was completely converted into propulsion, turning her body into a rocket, rushing towards Chiron at an unprecedented speed.
Chiron's expression finally changed. The ease he had just shown disappeared, and was replaced by a solemn expression. The Black Lancer was betting the outcome on this attack. In other words, as long as he could successfully break this attack, victory would belong to him.
At this time, Chiron no longer relies solely on experience to predict the future. He uses the bug-level "divine wisdom". The skills suitable for prediction are not only "Clairvoyance" and "Mind's Eye·True", but also many other skills such as "Mind's Eye·False". In addition to the innate and exclusive skills, Chiron can obtain them all.
At this moment, Chiron's computing power was enhanced to the highest level. In his eyes, the advancing Artoria turned into pieces of data, which were input into his brain to produce new answers.
Speed capture.
Variable introduction.
Trajectory correction.
...
Prediction completed!
Plan selected!
These calculations only took an extremely short moment, so short that Chiron had completed the analysis before Artoria had even finished taking a step.
Right now.
Chiron held the bow in his left hand without moving, and held three arrows in his right hand. However, it was not his usual skill of shooting multiple arrows with one bow, but another technique to make up for the insufficient shooting frequency - continuous arrows.
Three arrows came one after another, covering all possible landing points of Artoria's footsteps. As long as you dare to take a step, the arrows will pierce your feet.
The arrows flew out of his hand, and Chiron shot three more arrows, a true one bow and three arrows. If Artoria used her sword and spear to block the first three arrows, these three arrows would hit her body - without armor, you can use all your magic to accelerate, but this also means that you have given up defense, and the arrows that usually can't hurt you can now cause you huge damage.
However, Artoria did not even take a step, nor did she wave her sword or spear to resist. She just raised her spear and pointed it at Chiron on the city wall.
The next moment, the atmosphere roared and the light of "The Spear Shining in the Distance" became particularly dazzling due to the change in the atmosphere.
It turned out that when Altria was hanging on the city wall, the "Wind King's Barrier" that had been wrapped around her feet had been transferred to the Holy Spear. At this moment, the "Wind King's Barrier" was completely liberated.
"Strike Air!"
The moment the barrier is released, the air bound by magic turns into a strong wind and blasts towards the enemy like an invisible cannonball. This is a long-range attack that can only be used once in a short period of time.
The air mass compressed by ultra-high pressure was freed from the invisible barrier, and it exploded with a roar like a dragon god flying into the sky, turning into a gale destruction hammer, sweeping away everything in front of it.
Baptized by the power of the "Iron Hammer of the King of Wind", the surface of the city wall, which had been worn down by the wind and frost for hundreds of years, became bumpy and complained under the heavy burden. Broken stone chips were scattered from time to time, as if an invisible giant's huge hand had pushed through, cutting a straight road and shattering Chiron's arrows.
The ultimate goal of the "Palm" is Chiron!
In this case, Chiron's three held arrows could not be released. This is also the only shortcoming of calculation skills. If the data obtained in advance is insufficient, the calculation results will be biased.
Fortunately, the cautious Chiron had taken the miscalculation into account beforehand. Seeing that things were hopeless, he immediately gave up shooting and rolled to the side to avoid the passage of the "Iron Hammer of the Wind King".
His avoidance finally gave Artoria the space to move freely. The distance of several dozen meters passed in a flash. When Chiron was about to shoot again, Artoria had already arrived in front of him and stabbed him with a gun.
The Knight King, who has suffered a lot at the hands of Chiron, will not give the world's top shooter another chance to shoot!
The gun arrives!
PS: It's a pity that the scabbards of the spears and swords were not all covered with aloof hair, otherwise it wouldn't be so hard. But Chiron is not a centaur, otherwise he would run faster, and Artoria probably really wouldn't have a chance to catch up. By the way, Chiron has a bug ability that has not been reflected. The bow he used, Achilles' spear, and many other heroes' weapons were all made by him.
