Chapter 584: Danger! Avalon is hacked, and Arthur is pierced through the heart!
After waiting for a while, Arthur saw that Achilles at the end of the ravine hadn't made any movement, so he shook his head and said with a smile, "Your Master shouldn't even have the time to activate the Command Spell to heal you.
So, come, let's have a proper battle! Let's put a perfect end to this Holy Grail War!"
"Tsk~ What a troublesome guy! Can't you let me recover for a while?" Achilles struggled to stand up, his tone a little weak.
Clearly, the injuries inflicted by Arthur were too severe to be fully healed by Command Spells alone.
"Come on, this is your only chance. We've completely sealed off this area before you came, and the Lancers over there aren't doing very well either. So, come on! Fight me! Dying by this holy sword won't disgrace your reputation as heroes!"
Listening to Arthur's stern words, Achilles smiled bitterly, knowing that this battle was doomed to fail. With absolute defense coupled with unparalleled attack, like Zhao Yun, he had no idea how to win.
The conditions for using the Spear Tip of the Soaring Star are very harsh. Not to mention that Arthur originally planned to fight two people at once, even if Arthur agreed to fight one against one, it would be useless. Weapons can be used inside the Spear Tip barrier, but luck-based abilities are invalid.
It might be useful against that lancer with incredibly unlucky luck, but Arthur, forget it.
However, Achilles quickly adjusted his mentality, put aside all negative emotions, and just as Arthur said, put a glorious end to this Holy Grail War.
This way, even if they lose, they will live up to the title of heroes!
Achilles straightened up and waved his spear. "Let me introduce myself again. I am Achilles, the commander-in-chief of the Greek army during the Trojan War!"
Arthur was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly and said, "King of Britain, Arthur Pendragon."
Feeling their gazes, Zhao Yun held his spear upside down behind him and said calmly, "Zhao Yun, Marquis of Shunping, Han Dynasty." (Heroic spirits exist independently of time, so posthumous titles should be known. The name "Shu" was added by later generations and has a derogatory meaning for them.)
After he finished speaking, the two of them rushed forward again at super fast speed. The result was still the same as before. Both of their attacks were blocked by Avalon, as if the scene just now was being repeated.
Arthur did the same because he had no choice. Zhao Yun had the dragon gall, so he could only target Achilles, and this was what Achilles had expected!
"EXCalibur!"
"A small world surrounding the sky!"
Under Arthur's surprised gaze, the beam of light that was powerful enough to destroy the city wall was blocked. On the other side, Zhao Yun took this opportunity to thrust out his spear again at an extremely fast speed!
“Puff!”
Unexpectedly, this time the spear was not blocked by the golden light, but penetrated straight through and pierced the heart directly!
In the first confrontation, they discovered that although Arthur's defense was incredibly strong, he could not maintain that state to attack.
In other words, unlike Zhao Yun's Dragon Gall, when Arthur launches an attack, his invincible defensive ability does not exist!
This may be why Arthur's target in both attacks was Achilles, not Zhao Yun, because Longdan would also launch an attack while dodging.
But to be honest, Achilles and Zhao Yun didn't expect it to be so smooth. Arthur, who had previously performed so well, was stabbed through the heart.
It always feels a bit unreal, but Arthur's increasingly weak breath shows that this is the fact!
Arthur's heart was pierced!
"Puff~"
While the two were stunned, Arthur pulled his body out of Zhao Yun's silver spear, turned his head and looked at Zhao Yun in surprise, obviously surprised at the power of his treasure.
"You lost, King Arthur. I'm sorry." Achilles put away his shield and looked at Arthur with regret.
Obviously, he felt a little uncomfortable about working together with Zhao Yun to defeat Arthur. What he hoped more was to have a real one-on-one battle with Arthur, even if he lost.
Arthur smiled and shook his head. "That's not necessary. It was me who suggested we fight both of you at the same time. And, make no mistake, you haven't won yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, the golden light rippled over Arthur again. Suddenly, the fatal penetrating wound on Arthur disappeared without a trace.
Under the shocked gazes of Achilles and Zhao Yun, Arthur calmly waved his holy sword, "Lancer, your time is almost up. If you delay any longer, you will have no chance of winning. By the way, warm-up is over."
"call!!!"
A huge amount of magic power swept out from Arthur, stirring up dust all over the sky. Achilles' pupils shrank. He had seen this move before. Shiro Emiya used this method to increase his strength and speed.
It's just that Arthur's isn't as noticeable as Shiro's.
"clang!"
Arthur's figure suddenly disappeared, and then appeared in front of Achilles in an instant, and the holy sword slashed down fiercely!
Unfortunately, although Arthur's speed has increased a lot due to the increase in magic power, it is still far behind Achilles Zhao Yun.
Achilles held Arthur's holy sword steadily. On the other side, Zhao Yun took this opportunity to stab Arthur.
Unfortunately, Arthur, who was well prepared, launched Avalon the moment Achilles blocked the attack. The golden light covered his whole body again, making Zhao Yun return empty-handed.
This strike also marked the end of the battle, as blue light began to dissipate from Zhao Yun's body, indicating that his body was disintegrating.
The time has come for the dragon soul to possess you.
Actually, it's normal. First, he fought fiercely with Achilles for such a long time, and then was dragged down by Arthur for such a long time. His spiritual foundation could no longer hold on.
Watching the disappearing Zhao Yun, Arthur felt a little regretful. Zhao Yun could be considered first-rate in both his Noble Phantasm and martial arts, and was a perfect opponent. It was a pity that the fight was over after just a few attempts.
No matter how regretful it was, the battle had to go on as a sign of respect for Achilles. Therefore, after Arthur gave Zhao Yun a knight's salute, he turned around and continued to look at Achilles.
Achilles also saluted Zhao Yun, holding a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, and looked at Arthur seriously, then,
Turn around and run!
Just kidding, Arthur is now completely invincible, with a defensive treasure that is so strong that it is unfair, an incredible healing ability that can recover even if the heart is penetrated, and a reserve of magic power that can keep calm even after two consecutive light cannons.
Are you going to hit me on the head?
And now that Zhao Yun is dead, Zhao Yun's master naturally has no reason to continue slacking off. He can just run away with Maitreya. With his speed, Arthur will definitely not be able to catch up.
This is what Achilles thought and did. When he ran towards Miroku, he had planned at least three escape routes. Once he escaped, he would find other Masters to form an alliance and kill Saber together. Although it was unfair, it was the only way to win.
Unfortunately, the reality is cruel. When he rushed to Maitreya, he found that a girl had arrived here early. The golden chains extending from behind her tightly bound Maitreya and "Kirabi".
And around them, there was a circle of blue flames, in which he felt the power of divinity.
For a moment, Achilles began to doubt his life. Shouldn't divinity be rare? How come everyone has one now? Even the Immortal Flower is about to cry, okay?
Zhao Yun was originally going to use his position during his lifetime, but the Northern Expedition failed. Zhao Yun asked to be demoted to General Zhenjun, but he didn't think it sounded good, so he used his posthumous title. Because posthumous titles were rare at the time, it was a great honor.
