Chapter 160: Master-Apprentice Duel
The more Shinji spoke, the softer his voice became, and the expression on his face became softer and softer, until he finally showed a hint of a smile.
But this smile seemed to Astolfo to be more terrifying than Vlad III's rafters and Atalanta's "Arrow Book of Complaints", especially the eerie aura in the smile, which made his hairs stand on end.
And the punishment spoken with this smile made the intuitive Astolfo tremble.
Assassin wasn't joking or scaring people, he meant it and would do it.
In the past, relying on the non-mysterious and indestructible body of the servant and the A-rank magic power, Astolford didn't care about Serenicae's punishment, anyway, the torture tools in the workshop were either useless or no different from tickling. He was not afraid of other punishments such as confinement and tying up.
But if it's really like Shinji said, then the nature is completely different. You don't need to look at it to know how hentai that black magician who exudes the aura of death is, and he used to be incapacitated so he didn't pose a threat. Once she was given the ability to turn her ideas into reality, it was β I don't know exactly what the punishment would be, but the unknown itself was the greatest horror.
In the blink of an eye, Astolfo's cold sweat came down, and the momentum of not being afraid of heaven and earth disappeared without a trace, and the whole person looked like a trembling hamster, and said helplessly:
"I, I know, I'm not going to mess around. β
"That's good. Seeing Astolford's frightened look, Shinji's expression softened a lot, "Remember, you are responsible for the lives of many people, including me, and you are our trump card." β
"Ace?" Astolford's eyes lit up, "you meanβ"
"Bear with me for a while, when you behave. β
Shinji said, glancing meaningfully at the silent garden in the sky.
"Anyway, the air is up to you, and being able to contain half of that thing's firepower is the first thing!"
"What about you?"
"I'm going to keep an eye on some thief cat!"
Shinji pressed one hand on Astolford's shoulder, jumped up with the help of force, and levitated in the air with the help of "Hermes's feather shoes".
"Luring Spartacus, who has no distinction between enemy and enemy, to attack Ruler has to be said to be a clever move. Not only did they abolish one of our chess pieces, but they also left their own combat power free - however, whether this wishful thinking can be started or not, I have to ask if I can agree!"
With a move of his hand, the black gold war spear appeared out of thin air, aiming at the completion of the induction task, and Atalanta, who was about to retreat, was a throwing gun!
The spear that once killed the Great Sacred Mountain struck a brilliant light in the air, the color of which was the same as that of the mythical Venus - the owner of the spear, Ishtar, was the goddess of Venus!

It is also a matter of course that Achilles will be in chaos.
For him as a young man, Charon was simply an absolute symbol. Gentle and serious, his words penetrated the heart of young Achilles like magic.
For Achilles, Charon was both a father and a teacher, a brother and a good friend. For the son of a hero, blessed by the gods of Olympus, and at a young age he was the awe and wistful gaze of the soldiers, and he could be called a friend or a teacher.
And Charon is undoubtedly one of them. He was the most trustworthy presence for him on a par with his good friend Patroclus.
However, the hero is now standing in his way in his quest for the Holy Grail.
As an Archer of the Black, as an enemy, as an opponent who fights with him-
"βI'm going to go, teacher. β
"That's unnecessary, Red Rider. β
Achilles, who was slightly shrunk by the other party's harsh words, immediately cheered up and suddenly raised his gun and stabbed out. The two began to fight within a distance of being able to talk. That is, this is the composition of the approached archers and the lightly armed warriors who launched the attack.
Despite a hint of guilt, the tip of the gun was pointed sharply at the other party's heart. With Achilles' marksmanship enough to be a top-notch lancer, the average Archer would have been pierced through the heart long ago.
However, he forgot the most fatal point.
In Achilles' stunned gaze, Charon did not advance but retreated, and took a step forward to meet the path of the gun. This seemed like a fatal step, but it shifted the tip of the spear from the heart to Caron's side.
"What......!!"
"Have you forgotten, Rider. Who is the one who gave you this gun and taught you the basics of marksmanship?"
Charon's words had a huge impact on Achilles.
Indeed, as he said, Achilles' gunmanship was not honed in his own way, but was the basis for what he first learned from his master Charon. In this case, it is only natural that all the movements and habits of his body are seen through. In addition, this gun was originally a gift from Charon to his father Peleus to celebrate his parents' marriage, so he also knew the distance of this gun.
Caron then showed his amazing feat. As he took a step forward, he had loaded the arrow onto the bowstring. It can be said to be rapid-fire, an unavoidable blow from zero distance.
"-You're going to die, Rider?"
Aiming at the opponent's skull, Kajon fired an arrow without hesitation.
Achilles reflexively dodged by leaning back. With incredible speed and the actions that can only be achieved by consciousness, he barely escaped this crisis situation on the line of life and death.
At this point, Charon unleashed a kick. Achilles, who was unbalanced, was kicked away and slammed into the tree. At the moment of distance, Caron loaded the arrow on the bowstring again.
A certain part of Achilles' mind switched. He gritted his teeth and stared at his teacher with a resolute gaze as he lunged straight ahead at the arrow. As he leaned forward to dodge the arrow, he immediately raised his gun and unleashed a sweeping attack - which was dodged.
An inexplicable joy welled up in my heart. He let out a roar as he continued to swing his spear.
Achilles dodged a bullet-like bullet attack, deftly adjusting the distance while winding his arrow.
It's impossible for an archer to engage in close combat, and once you're within range of your gun, you can win - it's foolish to think that you're shallow. The opponent is Charon. Not only himself, but also Hercules, Iazon, Castor, Asclepius, and many other star-studded heroes have also been taught by him, and he is a veritable great sage.
In close conditions, it can barely reach a draw. Under this premise, if you don't use all your strength to attack, you will definitely lose......!
Achilles nimbly used forward stabs, sweeps, and bounges to launch a fierce offensive against Charon.
On the other hand, Kajon sometimes dodges, sometimes blocks with a bow, and sometimes even uses a combination of punches and kicks, drawing a bow and shooting arrows whenever he sees an opportunity.
was sniped at zero distance, and Achilles' body was also stabbed. Even the flesh, blessed by the gods, was defenseless against the attacks of the same "divine" Caron.
All of your attacks are seen through by the opponent, and the opponent's attacks are always unpredictable at critical times. Although he can still maintain a balanced state with his innate strong physique, he will definitely be forced into a dead end if he continues like this.
Achilles tried to temporarily distract his thoughts from the battle in front of him. The reason why his tricks were seen through was because his foundation was all from the teaching of the man in front of him. This is true for stances and timing of stabs, as well as sweeps and other moves.
- Don't be fooled.
Indeed, he taught the foundation. However, after devoting himself to fighting as a young man, he did not rely on these foundations alone to achieve victory. There are various applied skills, and there has been a way to survive in desperate situations. I've fought against many heroes.,I'm constantly honing my skills.γ
In all kinds of battles, in all kinds of crisis situations, how did you find a way to survive? By the way, like yourself at that time-
Achilles' movements changed. Instead of using basic skills and overwhelming speed to force a breakthrough, he began to add a variety of clever variations to his moves.
As soon as he saw him suddenly let go of the gun, the next moment he kicked Charon in the face with his "ankle", which was originally his Achilles' heel.
Kick the falling gun, then jump into the air to catch the gun while swinging it at the target. The tip of the spear grazed Keron's neck, and blood gushed out.
"Woo......!!"
Charon couldn't help but pull away. As if to say, "How?" Achilles casually spun his spear.
The two of them crossed their gazes, and each showed fearless smiles.
"Hmm, is it really strong enough to become a heroic spirit? β
"Of course. Unlike you, who are just teaching others, I've been through countless battlefields. β
He has intersected with many heroic blades, fought with each other, and even had soul exchanges. I did learn the basics from Charon. But the heavy corpses accumulated in the battle - for Caron is also an indisputable fact.
"Oops, that's great. After all, it is very uncomfortable to unilaterally kill one's own students. β
Charon said this with a laugh, and Achilles laughed too.
He has completely put aside the hesitation of fighting with his mentor, and now all he has is the joy of fighting with the strong.
Achilles was hesitating whether he should shorten the distance or pull it away. While it is common sense to shorten the distance and launch an offensive is the most reasonable thing to do, it may be time to abandon this conventional wisdom.
Originally, the spear he held was a weapon whose main purpose was to throw, a weapon that existed to break through all means of protection and penetrate the hero's chest. Charon knew better than anyone how terrible this gun was, after all, the giver was himself.
- So, what to do?
Eyes intertwined. Red Rider and Black Archer - both watch each other's every move, imagining their next move.
Both had smiles on their faces. There is a bond between them. The strong "joy" that can still be felt even after putting aside this love and overflowing the heart of the teacher and the disciple, the friends and friends who trust each other from the bottom of their hearts, really exists in the hearts of the two of them.
PS: With Achilles' marksmanship enough to be a top-level lancer, the average Archer has already been pierced through the heart - the problem is that the summoned Archer is basically not average, and the melee combat is basically good?10
