Not only Achilles encountered obstruction from the shadow servants, but so did the others in the chariot.
When Chiron encountered space turbulence, he quickly pulled Master Colles, so the two were not separated.
As soon as the space distortion was resolved, a dense rain of arrows fell from the sky, leaving no time for people to react. Only an all-round archer like Chiron who knows everything can wield the bow as a club, but if it was Atalanta, she might have been injured in this round of sneak attacks, not to mention protecting Corles from the rain of arrows.
After a round of arrow rain, Chiron returned the favor with a set of "five arrows in a row". Although he did not see the enemy, with his ability, it was not difficult for him to calculate the specific position by the angle and force of the arrow attack.
The identity of the enemy had already been confirmed: the Shadow Archer, an archer with superb archery skills who had been hindered by him and Atalanta since the start of the air battle.
"Master, stay behind me and protect yourself."
"Understood, Primal Spirit Raptor!"
Colles released the prepared beast spirit at the fastest speed.
...
Atalanta came to a closed room. The room was not large and was surrounded by solid walls, as if the walls were intended to block her swift feet.
In the center of the room stood a burly man with his upper body naked. Although his body was made of black shadows, Atalanta could still clearly see the man's bulging muscles.
The man's weapons were two strangely shaped large swords. A servant usually had to use both hands to wield a weapon, but he held it with one hand, and it looked effortless. Just looking at this figure, Atalanta felt as if her chest was being pressed down, and it was difficult to breathe.
But these were not the most difficult things. The most difficult thing was the aura of the man - the man in front of him had similar characteristics to himself. That was not what a human should have, but the aura of a beast.
If Atalanta is a cat, then this man is a wolf, a vicious wolf that will tear its prey into pieces and devour it. And now, this wolf has already stared at the cat that broke into the chassis and may attack at any time.
"You really picked a good prey for me."
The bow of the sky was drawn silently.
The narrow terrain and the enemy with terrifying power meant that Atalanta was at an absolute disadvantage from the very beginning.
But she was not shaken by this. She had been fighting various prey since she was born. Powerful prey not only did not scare her, but instead stimulated her fighting spirit.
Grabbing an arrow and injecting magic power into the arrowhead, the civet cat's eyes met the wolf's eyes.
"Dedicate this hunt to the great goddess Artemis!"
Release your finger - the arrow releases a huge amount of magic power, and the legendary huntress begins to hunt!
...
Because of the extraordinary anti-magic power possessed by the Judge, Jeanne was the only one who was not affected by the space distortion. However, her current situation was the most dangerous of all.
The chariot disappeared and the body fell naturally.
At this moment, a black shadow jumped out from the bushes below and attacked the girl in mid-air.
Thanks to her powerful perception ability, Joan of Arc was prepared before the black shadow took off into the air, adjusting her body position and launching an attack.
However, the holy flag waved with great force had no effect on the attacker. The unarmed black shadow cleverly avoided the tip of the holy flag, used one hand to gain leverage on the flagpole, and actually climbed up the holy flag. The remaining hands and feet were not idle, and they continuously struck Jeanne's head and face.
The attack speed was so fast that even the A-level "revelation" had no time to react. In the short few seconds from the air to the ground, Jeanne had been attacked dozens of times, and suddenly she saw stars and was completely dazed.
After landing, the black shadow not only did not slow down its attack, but because one hand was freed, its attack speed became even faster.
In desperation, Joan of Arc could only release the holy flag once again. With absolute defensive power, she temporarily blocked the enemy outside the barrier. However, this method was not a long-term solution after all.
The Noble Phantasm consumes a huge amount of magical power, and when releasing the Noble Phantasm, Joan of Arc herself must remain still and hold the flag. This is equivalent to being a turtle that cannot move, cannot counterattack, and can only passively take a beating - and there is a limit to the damage this turtle shell can withstand.
The biggest flaw of the Holy Flag is that it accumulates damage every time it is used. When the damage accumulates to a certain level, the Holy Flag will break and can no longer be used. After many liberations, tiny cracks have appeared on the surface of the Iris Flag.
We must find a way before the flag reaches its limit.
Because he is a Servant who has recently linked to the Greater Holy Grail, the Command Spells he possesses are ineffective against the enemy, and the only job skill he can rely on is "True Name Seer".
Shaking her head to quickly get rid of the dizziness caused by the attack, Jeanne was finally able to focus her attention on the sneak attacking Shadow Servant.
This is a male servant with a handsome face and a well-proportioned body. There seems to be some pattern carved on his naked back, but it is covered by the shadow.
At the same time, his real name and basic information naturally appeared before his eyes.
Occupation: Assassin
Real name: Yan Qing
Seeing this name, combined with the knowledge granted by the Holy Grail, Joan of Arc instantly understood everything.
Yan Qing, the Wanderer, is a character in Water Margin, one of the four great Chinese classical novels. He is highly skilled in martial arts, especially famous for his boxing. It is said that the "Mi Zong Quan", a martial art in the Chinese martial arts world, was passed down by Yan Qing, so it is also called "Yan Qing Quan".
The first principle of "Yanqing Fist" is "speed". As the founder of "Yanqing Fist", Yanqing has undoubtedly reached the highest level of this boxing. Only in this way can he deliver a series of fierce attacks that even Joan of Arc would be dazzled and unable to react in time. The "Chinese Martial Arts" skill of up to EX level in the skill panel also provides strong evidence.
For Joan of Arc, Yan Qing was the worst enemy. His superb boxing skills made it difficult for her, who was not good at martial arts, to deal with him, and his mysterious and agile body movements cut off her possibility of retreat. In addition, Joan of Arc herself lacked offensive treasures, so it was not difficult to understand why the situation developed into this.
What should we do
I can't win by fighting, and I can't escape either. Should I use that treasure to die together
No, no, that's definitely not what you should be using right now.
The only option left was to call for reinforcements.
Achilles, Atalanta, and Chiron should be in a similar situation as himself, and calling them rashly might be dangerous.
Astolfo is destroying the black coffin, no.
Avisbronn and Shinji are preparing secret weapons, which is not allowed.
Mordred and his master, Lion Robber, are together, and if they are separated rashly, the latter will be in danger.
The remaining person... well, it's decided to be you!
"I give this order in the name of Ruler Jeanne, using the Command Seal!"
PS: Yan Qing is a fictional character in the novel, and the "Mi Zong Quan" was passed down by Yan Qing, but later generations used Yan Qing's name. However, because it is widely spread and deeply rooted in people's hearts, the resulting belief has elevated the existence of "Yan Qing" to the "Throne of Heroes", and he has become an imaginary heroic spirit that does not really exist. Whenever someone summons "Yan Qing", the "Throne of Heroes" will select the closest existence in history to him and send him down under the name of "Yan Qing" - probably the ancestor of the "Mi Zong Quan".
PS2: Joan of Arc—I can’t fight, but I can call for help.
