Heading south from Miyama-cho where the Tohsaka family is located, about twenty kilometers away, on an empty hillside, a man in golden armor and a golden bow stood upright, his heroic posture like a god in mythology or legend.
Karna glanced at the sky with a sense of realization, then retracted his gaze and said to Luvia, who was sitting under a big tree not far away: "Master, we have been discovered."
Luvia was not surprised. A faint smile curved up her beautiful lips. "Oh? You reacted very quickly. It seems that the current head of the Tousaka family is well prepared. Very good. This is more interesting. One-sided crushing is safe, but it also lacks some of the fun of fighting."
"You said that, but you are actually sure that you will win." Olga Marie, who was sitting opposite, looked at Luvia with some envy. "You have summoned the great hero Karna, and you are already invincible."
"That's not necessarily true." Behind the tree, a man whose real name is Solomon but who calls himself Roman cautiously poked his head out. "One of the organizers, the Matou family, already has a Servant that rivals Karna. It's hard to say that the Tousaka family, who is also a organizer and land manager, won't have a Servant of the same level. Even if they don't, it won't be much different. Miss Luvia should still be cautious."
"I see. Thank you Mr. Roman for the reminder."
Luvia nodded slightly, and her elegant and dignified demeanor as a young lady made Olga Marie even more envious.
In contrast, the servant who was rubbing the back of his head and saying "You're welcome" with a silly smile was becoming more and more dumbfounded. How could he summon such a guy? Sigh - Olga Marie felt annoyed when she thought of this.
However, the source of the annoyance came over with a silly smile on his face: "Master, why are you sighing? Did you not get enough rest last night?"
"No, I rested well, but I feel that sometimes the gap between people is really big." Olga Marie said listlessly.
"I don't think you need to be depressed, Master. You are still young now. When you reach Miss Edelfeldt's age, you will definitely be better than her."
Roman's comfort not only failed to have a positive effect, but made Olga Marie feel even worse.
"I wasn't talking about me, I was talking about you, you idiot."
"I'm sorry, I'm an idiot, I'm really sorry." Roman quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"Don't apologize all the time. I'm not saying this just to hear your apology. Really... I don't expect you to become as strong as Karna, but you should at least work harder."
"I think I have tried my best. The workshop is well built and the concealment system is well constructed. I will definitely not be discovered hiding there."
"That's it. You hide, hide, hide. Do you plan to keep hiding like this until the end?"
"It's not a bad thing." Roman whispered, "There will only be one winner in the end. Taking the initiative may not be a good thing. Maybe everyone will die in the fight."
"You-you really dare to think so!"
"Optimism is my greatest strength."
Olga Marie was so angry that her face turned red. Just when she was about to explode, Karna spoke.
"Sorry to interrupt, the enemy's main and subordinates are heading here. At this speed, they will arrive in a few minutes."
"It seems that the current head of the Tousaka family is not only quick to react, but also very capable of taking action. It's getting more and more interesting." Luvia sighed first, and then said to Roman and Olga Marie, "This is a problem between the Edelfeldt family and the Tousaka family. Please don't get involved."
"Oh, then we should stay away to avoid being affected."
"Roman! You can't just leave like this. We are allies."
The two people's attitudes are exactly opposite, one wants to leave and the other wants to stay.
The former advised: "This is the will of our allies, my Master."
The latter was unwilling: "You can't just leave without doing anything!"
"Leaving doesn't mean doing nothing. Miss Luvia takes the duel with the Tohsaka family so seriously, so we must ensure that her duel will not be disturbed by others."
Olga Marie’s anger instantly disappeared after hearing Roman’s explanation.
"Yes, that's exactly your strength. Luvia, just focus on the confrontation with the Tōsaka family, and leave the vigilance and concealment to us. Let's go, Roman, I didn't expect you to come up with useful suggestions from time to time."
"Ahahaha, it seems I'm not that useless." Roman continued to touch his hair and grinned.
"Oh, oh, with them, there is never a lack of joy." Luvia looked at the backs of the two people leaving and said with a smile, "In a sense, they are really suitable for each other."
"I agree." Karna nodded seriously.
"They are so motivated, we can't lose. Archer, you are free to play from now on. I will not restrict you in any way, including the release of the Noble Phantasm and the use of the final trump card. You have only one mission, to defeat the enemy servant!"
"Mission understood."
Karna's expression remained stern, but his voice was more upbeat.
He is honest and upright, and has almost no desires. He can get along with any servants, but even so, he is also a person with emotions. Maybe when he conflicts with the orders of the Master, he will not be affected by emotions, but when the two are in step, his state will also rise.
Just like now, Luvia placed complete trust in him, and Karna would respond to her with all his strength.
Just watch, Master. Even if I, Karna, die, I will not disappoint you.
Magic power continuously flowed into Karna's body along the contract, and then transformed into solar flames and injected into the Brahma bow in his hand, condensing into arrows.
With a slight smile on his face wrapped in brilliant light, the Son of the Sun God silently tightened the bowstring, and released it the next moment, and an arrow was shot out in the blink of an eye.
Unlike the previous message arrows that had been carefully calculated and deliberately reduced in lethality, this time it was a real attack.
The arrows made of the sun's flames far exceeded the speed of the wind and even exceeded the speed of sound.
It cut through the air, releasing a shockwave that would have been enough to shatter all the glass along the street if it had landed on the ground. What was even more surprising was that the arrow had not slowed down or lowered its altitude since it was shot, and it rushed forward like a laser in a way that violated the laws of physics.
Once hit directly by something like this, humans, no—even heroic spirits, will not be safe.
The moment it pierces the body, the entire upper body will be shattered, and then turned into ashes by the high temperature of the sun's flame, leaving no trace.
This is Karna’s true strength, the strongest unparalleled archery technique in human history.
