Chapter 60: Turning Point
In contrast, the battle between Achilles and Charon showed no signs of victory or defeat.
Both parties were familiar with each other during their lifetimes.
Achilles knew that the indefatigable weakness of his Noble Phantasm Warrior was in his heels, and he could either ride the undead chariot in the wind and waves, or use the comet running method to avoid the teacher from catching traces of his existence, and he could engage the teacher to his heart's content.
Charon was well aware of Achilles' weakness, and he would not have been able to defeat the other party without taking advantage of it.
As for his Noble Phantasm, the Scorpion Shot has the unwanted characteristic of deliberately drawing the bow and shooting arrows, which is very suitable for sniping enemies, and will shoot arrows directly from the constellation to kill the enemy.
It's a pity, assuming that in the face of other servants, he will quickly find the weakness of the other party, and today his enemy is Achilles, a student he taught himself, who has fully accepted his teachings, and can be called a mature hero, who will not make mistakes easily, making it very difficult for him to achieve this goal.
The two sides have been engaged in hundreds of rounds, and such a hearty battle can be regarded as the best gift for them after appearing as servants.
"I'm surprised that the teacher chose the melee method, hmm, this is Pankrasin?" Achilles engages with Charon, and unexpectedly his teacher will choose the world's first mixed martial arts technique against him.
"There is no concept of rank in the battle of a warrior, and this is the best way to fight you at close range." Charon did not doubt at all, and answered without being interrupted at all, as if he had already thought about this question, and while calmly answering each other, he continued to attack one after another, forcing Achilles to have no way to easily use his few treasures.
"Don't get distracted, or do you want to be killed by me? You care about that Atalanta, right? ”
"That's the girl who defeated my father, the object of my longing, is there anything wrong with caring about it?" Achilles replied worriedly, that was because since the beginning of this decisive battle, he felt that Atalanta was a little abnormal, that feeling of losing control of emotions, constantly blaming the inexplicable resentment of the world, not at all like the calm and composed appearance she should have.
Even when he was fighting his teacher, this feeling of concern had existed since he learned about Atalanta at a very young age, and the importance of the two was actually not much different.
"I'm not going to give you this chance!" Caron suddenly came into the distance, reminded, and fired an arrow with a bent bow.
"Ha, teacher, I won't admit defeat easily!" Achilles' body was directly subjected to arrows, which were obviously enough to easily shoot through the heavy armor, and it was like gliding over his body, without much damage.
……
In the dark corner of the Fortress of Mirenya, the sixth guide, Lingxia, took Jack's hand and walked through the ruins.
"Mom, I'm going to kill Shakespeare." Jack said unscrupulously.
"Mom doesn't know where he is." Sixth Dao Lingxia replied, "Today, without Li to help us, we need to fight by ourselves." ”
That's how she answered Jack, she was still guessing Shakespeare's location in her heart, there was no need to doubt that he wasn't outside, he must have found a safe place where the best place to observe the progress of the entire Holy Grail War, and besides, he was not the kind of servant who was good at maneuvering, and if he was sure to be a hiding place, unless he was fleeing, he would definitely not move around casually during the period.
Through careful and meticulous consideration, what did she think of-
"Jack, let's see who finds this writer who wants me to play hide and seek first."
Jack jumped up: "Mom, okay, let's play together, it seems to be very interesting." ”
Sixth Dao Lingxia applauded: "Since Jack is so active, go and find these places, the magic workshop of the Mirenya Fortress, the tower, the hall of the vain sky courtyard... Mom felt that the writer must be hiding in these places, and there would be nothing wrong. ”
"If Mom finds out first, she'll find a way to inform Jack, and that way, we'll be able to get rid of that annoying writer sooner."
Jack agreed, and in a flash, as an Assassin, she moved extremely fast, like a wind that swept through empty rooms that had long been abandoned, searching for suspicious targets hiding inside.
The Sixth Guide Lingxia went up to the vanity courtyard in the sky, followed the familiar road, and re-arrived in front of the central hall, the door was claustrophobic, since Semiramis died, they had become like this, and they had no interest in accepting illusions, and what they saw was very close to reality.
Sixth Dao Lingxia carefully pushed open the door, and then saw the target sitting on the throne in the magnificent hall, she licked her lips, thinking that the prey was caught, and it was not so time-consuming.
She did not hesitate to use the spell, and Jack suddenly came to her from the depths of the fortress under her feet, and when she saw Shakespeare not far away, she rushed directly with excitement.
"Ah, welcome to the two spectators—" Shakespeare sat on the throne where Semiramis had been, not because he was attached to power or had feelings for Semiramis, but simply from the center of the courtyard, it was convenient to observe the battle around him with his magical powers.
Jack didn't have the time to talk to him, and without hesitation, he brandished a scalpel and wanted to dismember Shakespeare.
Shakespeare's body was cut in two, and strangely enough, what remained in place was a transparent dissipating mass of magic, and in another position, his figure reappeared.
"Oh, there's one less member of my troupe." Shakespeare lamented with great regret that it was James I's support for the formation of the King's Company, which was his most effective helper, and each of the actors had excellent acting skills, and could even play himself and escape death in his place.
However, in the face of Jack, who was in desperate pursuit, Shakespeare knew that the King's Theatre Company, which was incapable of fighting, could not play any other role, and he looked down at the rapier that had been sublimated by himself, and out of disgust with the desire to fight, he was unwilling to resist in this way, and besides, nothing would come of it.
"Did you really kill me, a non-combatant? Why not play your own role on this gorgeous stage! Shakespeare questioned sharply, and the next moment, the power of the treasure increased further, trying to replace the original perception of the six guides Lingxia and Jack with illusions.
Lingxia and Jack are trapped in illusions, images, sounds, smells, everything, under the interpretation of this great writer, even the smallest details are restored to life.
Sixth Director Lingxia saw unbearable memories, hidden in the depths of her heart, and even she herself never realized it or revealed it.
It was the first time she had been betrayed, she had just lost her parents, and she was in need of a warm and reliable embrace to provide comfort, but fate tricked her, and the man she trusted did not have the slightest mercy to coax her with rhetoric, let her give her money, and never return.
Until she found the man, the man neither admitted the relationship between the two, nor the fact that he got a huge amount of money from her, and even, insulted, scolded, and drove away with her new love, until she couldn't stand it anymore and realized that she couldn't recover everything that belonged to her.
At this moment, Sixth Dao Lingxia saw through everything and chose to fall completely.
Money, vanity, enjoyment, nothing can be kept in pursuit of these, she may be glamorous on the surface, but in fact she lives like the walking dead, day after day, year after year.
"Girl, don't you hate the world and let so many tragic things befall you?"
"Girl, you are really completely filthy, this world does not need your existence at all."
As Shakespeare's narration sounds, every sentence is a little harsh, even almost ridiculous, completely exposing her past and mercilessly criticizing it.
"Hehe, hehe, hehe!"
The wild laughter of the sixth guide Lingxia.
"Writer, is this your power, to be seen such a secret."
Somehow, Lingxia was no longer affected by any visions, including her Jack, who had already erected two scalpels behind Shakespeare, cutting him into several pieces whenever and wherever he could.
"What?" Shakespeare sensed the murderous intent lurking behind him, and broke out in a cold sweat, he knew very well the role of his treasure.
At the beginning of the performance, there was a thunderous applause – ostensibly to create illusions, but the real function was to reveal the innermost secrets of each actor caught up in it, and to serve as a weapon for Shakespeare's psychological attack. No matter how strong a person is, he may have a fragile heart hidden behind his back, and once he is attacked by Shakespeare, he will be in a completely defenseless negative state.
"No. My generation, my generation has not completed the masterpiece of the world, how can I leave here! Shakespeare exclaimed, he is not a great hero, is there anything strange in showing fear?
"I see, you, you're the kind of people who don't care what other people think! Therefore, my noble Phantasm has no effect on you at all. ”
"Yes, writer, you see, I actually still care about a certain teenager's thoughts, but you didn't notice it at all, so I had to let you die."
The next moment, Jack, who heard the command, cut off with his scalpel, and Shakespeare, who could no longer dodge, died, dissipated into magic, and returned to Valhalla.
"Jack, we've won!" The sixth guide, Lingxia, happily took Jack's hand and made a triumphant gesture, not noticing that Jack's condition was deteriorating, stimulated by Shakespeare's treasures, and the resentment that constituted her essence was playing a stronger and stronger role, and was about to drag her into an irreparable situation.
