[Ask for subscription!] Ask for a tip! Ask for recommendations! 】
Outside of the Archer Guard, Archer was watching the battlefield in the distance through the forest, holding a black-painted bow in her hand that was longer than her height. This bow is a treasure worthy of any archer, and nothing that cannot be shot through it does not exist.
It is rumored to have been given the Bow of the Celestial Dome by the goddess of hunting (Artemis), whose name is Tauropolos, another name for the goddess Artemis, who has the nickname of the bull killer.
As for the female Archer, she is a master hunter born after receiving the blessing of the goddess of hunting. Her bow skills have entered the realm of the gods, and her footsteps are beyond the reach of all men.
She is none other than the Greek myth of Atalanta, the supreme huntress!
Now she didn't try to draw the confession and shoot arrows as hard as she did just now, but looked at Lu Bu Fengxian, who was facing the Francis Liberation Treasure.
This guy is really different from other Servants, who are careful to hide their real names and treasures to prevent their weaknesses from being known by others, but this guy has no scruples to report his name. If it doesn't have amazing martial arts, then there must be something wrong with the brain.
"I hope you don't have no self-knowledge!" Atalanta withdrew her gaze and looked to another part of the forest, where Archer's perception told her that a hostile Servant was approaching.
"Want to take me down with a melee fight?!"
Atalanta's eyes flickered, her expression unfazed, and in fact, no matter how fast the hostile Servant ran, the distance from here was enough to take her a long time. And, the closer you get here. The more powerful her archery skills are, the higher the possibility that the opponent will kill himself.
"Let's get some results here!" With that, Atalanta pulled her longbow apart, using arrows dyed black beforehand, which were used for night battles, to eliminate the risk of being spotted during flight.
Squeak squeak
The bowstring tightened more and more. Gradually pull to the state of perfection.
Any bow is a weapon with more force than the tighter the string, the more powerful the arrow carries. Atalanta's bow is particularly powerful because it is the Celestial Vault Bow granted by the goddess of the hunt (Artemis) - when she stretches the bowstring to the limit, the arrow's pure physical attack power rises to the level of an A-rank Noble Phantasm. If you add more magic power, the power of the arrow will increase again, and it will be like a missile!
And now, she is gradually pulling the bowstring harder, and the power of the arrow is rapidly climbing to the A level.
For her, who is accustomed to hunting in the deep forest, sniping at distant creatures is not a difficult task at all, and the task of aiming is easily done. The sense of excellence that comes with being an archer has also captured the aura of hostile Servant action. No matter how agile the prey is, the arrow that is about to be fired will surely pierce its heart.
"It's a bit of a shame not to know your real name, but you'd better return to Valhalla!" After the cold words were spoken, the bowstring of the Perfection State was immediately released, and the strong elasticity pushed the arrow, breaking through the air at a speed faster than the sound, and flying rapidly!
With a wealth of experience in hunting, she is confident. The arrow was sure to pierce the heart of her prey, and her eyes were about to catch the Servant's return to Valhalla.
However,
Boom - !!
The arrows that burst through the air burst out a few meters from their prey as they passed through the tops of a large tree. The powerful impact of the explosion blew the canopy of the tree away. Unfortunately, this level of impact did not affect the speed of the prey in the slightest, and the opponent was still moving at high speed in this direction.
"My arrows...... Shot down!? Faced with this unbelievable fact, Atalanta quickly realized that the enemy-owned Archer was actually quite capable. Although the opponent could not shoot down her own arrows with more spare time, she did help her Servant escape from the enemy, her own arrows, and this was the first time in her life!
Boom - !!
Atalanta's sniping undoubtedly tells the "prey" that it has been discovered. So after she sniped, the "prey" immediately released an enhanced speed with its magical power, rushing towards this side at a speed beyond the sound, breaking through the sonic boom caused by the air along the way, and blowing straight to the big tree in a straight line. Bring up a rolling dragon.
"Bastard, so fast!!"
Atalanta reacted immediately, and since the hostile Archer was no match for her in archery, she would step up her offensive and snipe the approaching opponent.
So, this time, she took out three arrows in one go, and aimed at the approaching figure at the same time. In a breath, Atalanta had already aimed three arrows at the opponent's chest, head, and footsteps in action, and shot them without hesitation.
The local Archer is undoubtedly inferior to himself, and even if one is shot down, the other two arrows can hit the other. Taking a step back, it doesn't matter if the other party can't die, as long as the action pauses slightly, she can snipe the other party in the same way, but the extra reload is nothing.
Boom - !!
As she expected, the hostile Archer was able to snipe out one of the arrows before they were about to hit her, and the other two were powerless. But the so-called "guessed the beginning but did not guess the end" thing appeared at this moment.
The other two arrows that were not sniped off were dodged by the opponent at the moment when they could not be fired, and the other was simply blown away by the opponent's weapon that could not see clearly. And in the process of doing these actions, the opponent's speed did not slow down, but just deviated from the direction.
And after the aftermath of the arrow was resolved, the other party adjusted its direction again and killed this side.
"What a scary fellow!"
Atalanta secretly said that the strength of the opponent's melee combat was really extraordinary, and it would be too disadvantageous for him to fight in close combat. Thinking so, she decisively gave up the fight. For her, who has beastly thinking, her task is just to cover Lu Bufeng's entry into the Yuansaka Mansion first, and since she has completed the task, there is no point in continuing to fight.
Moreover, her Master's decision also coincides with her.
"Archer, come back. The situation there was taken over by Saber. ”
"Understood."
Atalanta replied as she slung her bow on her back, glanced at the approaching Servant from a distance, and leaped into the distance.
"Do you want to run away without a fight, Archer?"
The awe-inspiring knight girl shouted loudly and launched a pursuit at a speed beyond the distance.
However, Archer was just too fast.
Atalanta was originally a hunter in ancient Greece who prided himself on not losing anyone's foot power. She declares to suitors who are seduced by her wild beauty, "She will grow old with someone who outraces her in the race." But the price of defeat is death", and as a result, no male could run past her head-on, and the strength of her feet can be seen.
Even if the Servant here uses [Mana Release] to increase his speed, he can still only watch Atalanta gradually disappear from in front of him. The unwilling Servant chased after him for a while, and when he was about to leave, the aura that belonged to the Servant alone rushed towards this side at high speed.
"It's the enemy Servant!" Knowing that his Servant would not arrive so soon, Saber stopped heavily, stood quietly in place, silently checking his situation, Caster's mana supply was still very smooth, and his mana was also sufficient, one or two battles were enough.
Boom - !!
The attacking Servant moves very heroically, coming all the way with a rolling earth dragon in a way very similar to Saber.
"Haha, is it a Servant of the Saber rank? What an interesting encounter! (To be continued.) )
