Chapter 221 - Chapter 221: Shirou vs. Karna, Achilles, and Atalanta

"Is it a Reality Marble?!" Looking at the surrounding environment, Achilles, who knew Shirou's class, couldn't help but exclaim. "Seriously, the strongest magecraft in this Holy Grail War turns out to be two Assassins! How ironic!" Everyone around them looked horrified at the sight before them. After all, it was incredibly absurd that someone capable of using such Grand Magecraft wasn't a Caster. Semiramis at least had a dual class, possessing both Assassin and Caster classes. But Shirou only had the Assassin class.

"Chiron, Jeanne, you two go deal with Avicebron, Semiramis, and Shirou Kotomine."

"As for the remaining three, I'll handle them all!" Hearing Shirou's arrogant words, the brows of Karna, Achilles, and Atalanta all furrowed. Was this guy looking down on them, or did he really have the ability to fight three against one?

"Can you do it, Shirou?" Looking at Shirou's resolute face, Jeanne couldn't help but ask. After all, Karna and the other two were the Red Faction's main combat force!

"Don't worry. Outside, I might only be able to go one-on-one with Karna and Achilles, but here, I can definitely take on all three."

"After all, this is my domain!"

"Trust me!" Listening to Shirou's firm voice and looking at his formidable back, Jeanne felt her heart rate gradually accelerating. Could it be that Laeticia was influenced by Shirou's charm and was developing feelings for him? The innocent maiden who had never experienced love thought so. As the French girl possessed by Jeanne, Laeticia was not in a dormant state; she was conscious.

Therefore, she was fully aware of everything Jeanne experienced. As a single entity, if she developed feelings, Jeanne should also show some signs. This was why Jeanne thought this way.

"I, I understand! Then I'll leave this place to you, Shirou!"

"We're counting on you, Shirou!" With that, Jeanne and Chiron rushed towards Shirou Kotomine and the other two Red Faction Servants in the back.

"Where are you going? Master, your opponent is me!"

Looking at Chiron running to one side, Achilles gripped his spear, intending to charge at him.

"Where do you think you're going?" Shirou, standing atop a snowdrift, waved his hand. Dozens of weapons swiftly shot out from their positions, heading straight for Achilles.

"What?" Achilles, unprepared for these weapons to be anything but decorative, was caught off guard and found himself in danger. But as a great hero famous throughout the world, what kind of situation hadn't he encountered?

Wielding his throwing spear and employing spear

techniques that had reached the divine realm, Achilles

struck down all the flying weapons.

"You think you can hurt me with just these?" Although he said this, Achilles now dared not look for his Master anymore. After all, Shirou's weapons could indeed harm him. Achilles's Noble Phantasm was a conceptual Noble Phantasm, and thus his weakness was also conceptual.

Anyone with divinity, regardless of whether the attack was directly from them, could bypass his defense. This was just like the arrows shot by his Master, Chiron.

"I see, your Noble Phantasm seems somewhat similar to Black Lancer's Noble Phantasm!" During his duel with Vlad III in Romania, Karna had experienced the terror of his twenty thousand wooden stakes. Under the regional amplification, his stakes could even be launched. Above, below, his stakes were everywhere! This had a similar effect to Shirou's flying swords.

"Is that so? But I'm not shooting wooden stakes, I'm shooting Noble Phantasms!" In his previous duel with Angelica, Shirou analyzed and projected countless Noble Phantasms, and the existence of these Noble Phantasms greatly replenished Shirou's inventory. "As for whether they can hurt you, try this!" Against Achilles's provocation, Shirou waved his hand, and the swords throughout the Reality Marble trembled. Then, they slowly rose!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, do you really have to be so over the top?!" Looking at the black cloud of swords before them, Achilles and the other two could clearly feel the surging killing intent. Even Jeanne and the other four on the distant battlefield couldn't help but stop their movements and observe this battlefield! Even world-renowned great heroes would be shocked by this scene. After all, who had ever seen a scene of ten thousand swords flying at once? Moreover, these were not ordinary arrows, but Noble Phantasms representing a hero's glory.

"This is no laughing matter!" Sensing the chilling killing intent, Achilles quickly whistled, summoning his chariot.

"Big Sis, get in!" Achilles knew very well that in this situation, Atalanta was the most vulnerable. Although she was a top archer, she was far inferior to him and Karna in close combat. So, facing a barrage of ten thousand swords, she would have a hard time coping. He had to escort her.

"Coming!" Not refusing Achilles's good intentions, Atalanta was also very clear about the current situation. Therefore, she directly jumped onto Achilles's chariot, stood at the back of the chariot, began to draw her bowstring, and aimed at Shirou's position.

"Swish!" With a flick of her finger, Atalanta shot more than a dozen arrows in succession, each aimed at Shirou's vital points. But unfortunately, Shirou in Unlimited Blade Works was virtually invincible. As the arrows flew, they were overtaken by a dozen weapons from the side and all blocked. That's right, besides attacking, these weapons could also defend.

"Tsk! No effect?"

"Careful, Big Sis, the enemy's attack is coming!" As soon as Achilles finished speaking, a black dragon composed of countless weapons rushed towards them. Each of those incredibly sharp weapons gleamed with killing intent!

"Go!" With the Red Faction Heroic Spirits now connected to the Greater Grail, Achilles no longer needed to worry about magical energy consumption. Therefore, Achilles unreservedly urged his Noble Phantasm, "Troias Tragoidia (Storm of the Undying Chariot)!" As the medium through which Achilles was summoned in the Rider class, "Troias Tragoidia" ravaged the battlefield with its divine speed, capable of dealing additional damage proportional to its increasing speed. It could reach the speed of sound in an instant, and at its highest speed, it was like a rapidly moving giant meat grinder; its speed alone had reached the concept of an independent Noble Phantasm.

And among the three divine horses pulling the chariot, two possessed immortality. In other words, in terms of sheer toughness, these two horses were superior to even Servants. When Achilles was summoned as a Rider, this chariot consumed the most magical energy. If he fully utilized this chariot, the magical energy consumed could possibly be enough to summon another Servant besides Achilles. Therefore, Achilles had never fully utilized this Noble Phantasm before. He relied more on close combat.

But now, the Red Faction Servants were connected to the Greater Grail, and their magical energy consumption was no longer supported by their Masters. Therefore, he finally, after a long time, fully utilized his chariot.

"Destroy everything relentlessly! Troias Tragoidia (Storm of the Undying Chariot)!" With Achilles's roar, the chariot, enveloped in magical energy, continuously accelerated. Finally, it broke out of Shirou's Noble Phantasm encirclement!
