Achilles possesses an immortal body called the "Immortal Flower of the Brave". Except for the weak tendons, other parts of his body will not be harmed unless they are attacked by divine power.
Shinji himself was a mortal, and the stones he used as ammunition were just picked out from the city wall before the battle, so this attack would naturally not cause any harm to Achilles. Of course, he did not expect to be able to hurt this powerful enemy so easily, his intention was just to declare his presence.
Achilles, hearing the sound of the wind, swung his javelin and easily blocked the attack.
Looking at the stone chips breaking apart in front of his eyes and feeling the slight force coming from the gun, he instantly understood the purpose of the stone.
"Are you trying to lure me over?"
Achilles cast his gaze in the direction from which the stone came. At the end of his sight was a jungle, from which a faint breath of a Servant could be faintly heard. This elusive feeling was truly the mark of the Black Assassin.
Forest
Indeed, the complex terrain of the forest is a good cover for the assassin, who can make full use of the terrain advantage and "breath blocking" to deal with the enemy. From a tactical point of view, there is nothing wrong with this.
But if you think you can deal with me, Achilles, in this way, you are totally wrong - you will taste the taste of defeat because of your correct choice, just like that uncle!
"For the sake of my father who is a great hero, my mother who is a goddess, and my reputation as an eternal friend who has shared the joys and sorrows of life with me, I will definitely defeat you, Black Assassin!" (If you dare, add your teacher as well.)
Achilles roared and used the "Comet Run" to rush towards the forest where Shinji was.
Seeing Achilles starting to speed up, Shinji restrained the aura he had deliberately released to lure him and fled deeper into the jungle.
The moment the former stepped into the forest, his right hand once again grasped three inconspicuous stones - this time they were not ubiquitous mainland goods, but carefully selected and enchanted magic bullets, each of which was attached with the "Original Rune".
Following the principle of "continuous arrows", three magic bullets were shot out one after another.
The first one, aim for the heart.
Achilles blocked with his javelin, and as the stone shattered, a rune flashed by, and the exploding flames engulfed the advancing hero.
However, although the primordial fire contained in the "Fehu" rune was terrifying, it could not break through the protection of the "Eternal Flower of the Brave". Achilles walked straight through the flames without even blinking.
At this time, the second magic bullet arrived. The airflow became chaotic because of this magic bullet, and the flame attached to Achilles' spirit clothes became violent again.
"Is fire after wind? Mudamudamuda!"
The Red Rider, whose momentum was rising, didn't even bother to block. He ignored the obstruction of the atmosphere and increased his speed further.
The "Hagalaz" hurricane rune is not the eighteen original runes, but the twenty-four derived runes. Achilles has a C-level magic resistance, which can be directly resisted.
"Any other tricks?"
"Of course." The voice still couldn't tell the direction, and the third magic bullet fell to the ground.
That’s right, it landed, and this magic bullet itself was not aimed at Achilles.
The moment the runes engraved on the surface of the stone lit up, the ground centered on Achilles suddenly sank, and flickering runes could be vaguely seen from the cracks in the earth.
It's a trap!!!
The first two magic bullets were just baits to lure Achilles into the trap, and the third magic bullet was the real deal, its purpose was to trigger the trap that had been set long ago.
When was it laid
Of course, it was during the night tour a few days ago. In order to obtain the Holy Grail, Shinji made various preparations, and the trap was just one of them. However, at that time, he was not sure who it was used against, but just prepared for a rainy day. Now, this arrangement finally came in handy.
The densely packed runes buried underground together formed a magic spell, turning the ground under Achilles' feet and the surrounding land into a quagmire.
Both "The Brave's Immortal Flower" and "Anti-Magic Power" can only negate magic that directly affects the body. This kind of area magic that changes the terrain is not within their range.
The swamp created by magic had a great impact on Achilles' movements, and his proud top speed was also greatly reduced.
"Now!"
Shinji put away the slingshot, grasped the Ishtar spear with his backhand, and threw it out - although it was not an anti-military weapon, the divine power in the Ishtar spear was enough to cover the entire swamp.
"You think you can defeat me with just this little trick? There's a limit to how much you can underestimate someone, Black Assassin!"
Achilles roared in anticipation of a head-on confrontation. As soon as the unusual movement appeared underground, he concentrated all his attention on guarding against possible attacks at any time.
When the God's War Spear, which he had felt once before, appeared, he had already guessed the enemy's plan.
Then he leaped up and used his feet to kick the nearby tree trunks to move at high speed. Although this was a superhuman physical ability, it was not impossible for a Servant to do it.
However, even if we take the fact that he is a Servant into consideration, it is still too fast, almost like teleportation, and it seems that the terrain has no effect on him at all.
Yes, this is the essence of Achilles' "Comet Run". As long as he has a foothold, he can unleash his swift footsteps, which are known as the "fastest human speed".
When the lance fell into the swamp, the divine power was released, causing violent tremors. Achilles had already run a considerable distance and was rushing in the direction where the lance came from at an astonishing speed.
"Where to escape to?"
Achilles moves through the woods with a more agile body than an ape, and uses hearing more sensitive than a horse to detect the enemy's position - using a Noble Phantasm of this scale, no Servant can immediately eliminate all traces, and Achilles will not give the enemy a chance to hide.
I heard a small "Sha!" sound, it seems the other party has also moved.
Because they were still moving in the shadows of the trees, he could only vaguely see a figure passing by. If it was Atalanta, maybe she could use the smell as a clue, but Achilles did not have her wild sense of smell honed from endless hunting.
Fortunately, Achilles can use his innate divinity to capture the breath of the divine creation that has not yet dissipated.
Another rune magic bullet came through the air.
He smiled and blocked them one by one with his gun. It was very easy to dodge or block them.
Although these magic bullets were considered good flying props when he was alive, they are meaningless in front of the "Immortal Flower of the Brave".
He had already forced his opponent into a desperate situation, otherwise he wouldn't have used this kind of attack that was almost exposing his own position - he had this real feeling.
"Found it!"
Achilles revealed a bloodthirsty smile, increased his speed to the maximum, replaced the javelin in his hand with a shield, and rushed towards the clearly visible figure in his field of vision with both the man and the shield.
"A small world (Aos) surrounding the sky!!!"
The Noble Phantasm that was interrupted last time finally released its true name.
PS: Andreas Amarantos (Ancient Greek for "unfading warrior")
Grade: B
Type: Anti-personnel (self) Noble Phantasm
Distance: 0
Maximum capture: 1 person
The entire body except the heel carries the blessing of immortality given by the mother goddess Thetis. All attacks are invalidated. However, this feature also has two flaws. First, this effect will be canceled against people with "divine" skills above a certain level. Second, if it is not an attack, it is not applicable to friendly actions such as vampire assimilation. The Achilles tendon, which is a weak point, loses its effect after being hit.
Additionally, unless the level of his divinity is the same or higher, it cannot actually do damage. Level D reduces the damage to 75%, and level E reduces it to 50%.
Additional setting: Even if there is no divinity, if the Noble Phantasm is a divine weapon, it will still be damaged. The damage calculation at this time will change according to the level of the divine weapon. (This is the point that knocks the heel off the altar, otherwise a lot of heroes without divinity will be miserable when they meet the heel, especially our Chinese heroes, who have no divinity but can fight a lot.)
