Chapter 143: Meteor Gun
Even without the "brave do not wither", Achilles still has an A-level durability.
The so-called durability refers to the strength of the body, and although Shinji's hand is heavy, it is unlikely to bring much injury to Achilles - normally, when Shinji lands, Achilles should get up.
But Achilles didn't, because he was once again subverted by Shinji's cognition - the human servant who had no divinity and no god-made treasure actually broke through his proud immortal body and caused him harm.
Despite being light, the soreness in the chest is not fake.
For the first time, the warrior who stood up under the protection of the shield showed a solemn expression, and he carefully looked at the enemy in front of him, hoping to find the reason.
Soon, he noticed a hint of anomaly - the strange assassin's right hand turned black at some point, exuding a strange aura that blended with the night.
However, this aura is not a divine power, divinity, or power associated with the night, but another mystery. This mystery may not be as powerful as the power of the gods, but it is even more strange and ominous.
After thinking carefully about the fall between the lightning and the fire, Achilles got the answer.
"I see. ”
When Shinji's right hand grabbed his chest, a strange force invaded his body. For some reason, the "Brave Don't Withere" that was supposed to be effective didn't mean to target this alien force at all, and let him wreak havoc in his body.
"This hand is ——?"
"This is the 'black hand'. Shinji replied.
Achilles waited quietly, but did not wait for anything, so he had to ask.
"And then?"
"You can break through your immortal body. ”
"Why?"
"I can't tell you that unless you become my companion. ”
Hearing Shinji say this, Achilles pouted unhappily: "Bah, it's not refreshing at all, it's the same as that uncle." ”
"It's not unpleasant to take the initiative to explain your abilities to the enemy, it's stupid! Why don't you wait for me to kill you, and then explain to your corpse?"
"Uh......" Achilles was stunned and said, "We are followers, and we disappear directly after death, and there are no bodies." ”
This answer made Shinji stunned: "I can't see it, you are quite humorous." ”
"Don't compare me to your saber, didn't I say it? Then at least be happier when it dissipates. ”
"I feel the same way, so go ahead - win with a smile on your face, or die with a smile on your face!"
Shen Er's center of gravity shifted downward, his hands were linked, his right hand was as black as ink, and his left hand was full of golden light, putting on a posture that Achilles felt very familiar.
"Pankrasin?"
"Yes, it's Pankrasin. ”
"You're also a hero of Greece?"
"You'll know the answer when you kill me or I kill you. ”
"It's still so unpleasant. Achilles shrugged helplessly and put away his shield, "Forget it, since you used Pankrasin, then I will follow the traditional etiquette and have a wrestling duel with you." ”
Pankrasin is not only the oldest mixed martial arts technique in ancient Greece, but also a traditional sport that has swept the whole of Greece. As a disciple of Caron, as the bravest warrior of the Trojan War, how could Achilles not? In fact, he not only could, but he was a master.
Shinji is very clear about this, but compared with playing with weapons, it is still a greater chance of winning in hand-to-hand combat.
"Let's get started. ”
Just as Shinji was about to attack, Achilles suddenly raised his hand and made a pause gesture.
"Wait. ”
"What's the matter? The famous Achilles isn't afraid to wrestle with me as a nobody, right?"
"I'm not afraid, I'm just a little worried. Achilles didn't hide it either, and said frankly, "You are too similar to that uncle, and I'm worried that you will suddenly use the treasure in the process of wrestling." ”
"Uh......"
Shinji was a little embarrassed, it seemed that he had played too many bad moves, and his trust had dropped to the freezing point.
"I said no, and I guess you don't believe it either, although this time I really didn't plan to play any tricks. ”
"It's easy to trust me, look at this—" Achilles said as he took a few steps back, picking up the dropped spear, "this is my Noble Phantasm, and it represents my beliefs—go, 'Diatreohon Astir Lonchi'." ”
The gun flew impartially into the air, and finally fell to the midpoint of the line between the two.
It wasn't a throwing attack aimed at Shinji, neither a gun nor a person even had the slightest murderous aura.
Then, the laws of time and space were replaced again.
Unlike the "small world that surrounds the sky", this world has no mountains, no sea, and no magnificent scenes.
The world is so simple and solid. It's not so much about enclosing the walls, it's about taking out the space itself. Although on the surface it seems to be the same as before, and the scenery has not changed in any way, there is no doubt that this place no longer belongs to the world that Shinji is familiar with. However, because the supply of magic has not been cut off, it is not completely cut off from the world.
In this world, the unconcealable divinity of Achilles disappeared without a trace, and the Ishtar war spear and Indra and the like stuck in the ground also lost their divine power and became ordinary golden pestles and war spears.
That's right, this world is cut off from the power of God, and nothing related to God can function here, and only the power of humanity itself is unlimited.
This is a variant of the inherent enchantment, a great magic created by Achilles not as a demigod, but simply as a human being. Although he is a warrior, he has surpassed the miracles of many magicians.
"This is the space I've created to fight Uncle Hector. ”
In the Trojan War, there were several reasons why famous heroes such as Achilles and Ajax were involved, but they failed to capture Troy for several years.
Achilles was disgusted by the strongness and arrogance of his leader, Agamemnon, and abandoned the battlefield.
After their return, they continued to be opposed, and because of such internal contradictions, even if they were higher in combat power than the united Troy, their morale was far inferior to that of their opponents.
Perhaps the city of Troy has a strong structure that is rarely seen in history, and it is protected by the sun god Apollo.
But all of this is nothing more than trivial minutiae. If this were the case, the Akā'í army, though it would have suffered a little, would never have fallen into despair of not being able to capture the enemy city.
One of the biggest reasons can only be attributed to one man. That is the existence of the prince of Troy, the great hero Hector.
Hector, a soldier and a general, a military advisor and statesman, and a member of the royal family, united the entire Trojan army and continued to fight with high morale.
Although the Trojan War itself was caused by the defeat of Troy due to the defeat of Hector by Achilles, who stood up for his friend, it is an indisputable fact that the Achai army was in a difficult situation because of Hector's presence alone.
"That guy kept running away with a smile and saying, 'If I fight you who are blessed by the goddess, I will be damned,' so I created this trick in order to have a fair one-on-one fight with him. ”
Although he already knew the effect of this treasure, Shinji still felt shocked. This man, blessed by the gods of Olympus, a warrior who was so close to the gods, gave up all of this to create such a space for the sake of a fair and selfless battle - a warrior who loved fighting, enjoyed fighting, and was truly worthy of respect.
"There is no divinity here at all, as long as you are beaten, you will bleed, and if you are pinched to the joint, you will dislocate. Not to mention a third party, even luck has no room to intervene, and time stands still. And once the winner is decided here, the winner will also be decided in the outside world. How's that, it's easy, right?"
"That's why Hector agreed to fight you in a duel. Shinji sighed.
"Well, the guy said 'If that's the case, I probably have a chance to win,' and he agreed. In the end, though, I managed to defeat him - so, Black Assassin, do you accept it?"
Achilles kicked off the ground with a "thump" and asked Shinji for a duel.
PS: Using Pankrasin as a competitive event shows how fierce the ancient Greeks were.
PS2: Diatrechon Astir Lonchi (Ancient Greek for "Meteor Gun")
Grade: B+
Species: Treasure to people
Range: 2~10
Maximum capture: 1 person
The Noble Phantasm of Achilles. A Noble Phantasm that can only be used when the "Troias Tragōidia" is departed. It was a spear given to Achilles by Charon when his parents got married.
It can create a field for the purpose of heroes going head-to-head, completely blocking time and the surrounding environment, and it is a fighting arena that will not be lifted until one of them is defeated, and it is a great magic that rivals the inherent enchantment. Isolate all the intervention of God and luck, and ultimately determine the winner by strength. Achilles used it during the war with Hector.
It is worth mentioning that this gun cannot be used except against opponents who want to "go head-to-head" with Achilles, that is, Achilles will only use this gun when Achilles wants to fight and the opponent has the courage and strength to respond to him. However, even if Achilles himself wanted to be able to fight, he could not force a one-on-one duel if the opponent did not want to, and it was a treasure that could be used very limitedly.
If summoned as Lancer, this gun will have the effect "Wounds from this gun cannot be healed", which is similar to the "Yellow Rose of Mortality" class, although it does not own a chariot, but when Achilles approaches with a speed and swings this gun, it is difficult to shoot anyway.
In addition, due to the anecdotes of remorse for killing the Amazon queen Pentesilea with this shot, it is impossible to launch it against women under their real names.
