Seeing Hades use that move, the Plutos Homecoming Domain, which made their saint graphs tremble incessantly, all the Servants shook and broke into cold sweats. They couldn't help but remind themselves in their hearts: 'Never face Hades in a Holy Grail War in the future.'
Vroom vroom vroom vroom—!!!
At this moment, engine sounds came from somewhere high in the sky. Everyone turned to look as several Space Shuttles and Transport Planes flew towards the Hanging Gardens. The Hanging Gardens of the [Coffin of Numbers] were unable to counterattack or defend, only able to let those planes fly over the gardens.
The Transport Plane's cargo bay opened, and giant Golems descended from the sky, smashing several large holes into the Hanging Gardens like cannonballs.
The doors of the Space Shuttles also opened, and several Homunculus Soldiers leaned out. They extended their right hands, the light of magic circuitss flashing. As they drew infinitely close to the Hanging Gardens, they fired emerald-green Magic Bullets, blasting a large hole and passage into the side of the Hanging Gardens.
All the Homunculi in the Space Shuttles used Flight Magecraft to fly into the Hanging Gardens one after another. At this time, Hades also saw Darnic's figure mixed among the Homunculus army.
"Truly a man with deep obsessions," Hades said after glancing at Darnic, his eyes looking at him as if he were some clown. He then put away the Karna heroic spirit card he had just obtained.
Hades jumped into the large hole blasted by the Homunculus army, and the other Servants followed him in.
But just as Charon was about to jump in, he was immediately stopped by Achilles raising his spear. The master and disciple's eyes met. Although Achilles was frightened by Hades's Plutos Homecoming Domain, his fighting spirit had not diminished in the slightest, as he yearned to settle the score with his teacher, Charon.
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave, Teacher! We haven't settled our match yet!!" Achilles said with a sinister grin, then charged at Charon with his spear raised.
"Achilles!!" Charon notched an arrow to his bow and fired rapidly. Every arrow pierced through Achilles's armor and into his flesh. Clearly, they caused him damage, but unexpectedly, Achilles acted as if he knew no pain and continued to charge towards Charon.
Achilles took Charon and fell directly onto the back of a Space Shuttle to engage in their final master-disciple battle.
On the back of the Space Shuttle, the two of them gripped their weapons tightly, both on high alert, and remained silent for a long time.
Achilles looked at Charon and was the first to break the silence, saying, "Teacher, what is the wish you have entrusted to the Holy Grail?"
Charon lowered his bow slightly and said, "To retrieve the Immortality I entrusted to Prometheus."
One day, while mediating a dispute among the Centaurs, Charon was struck by a poison arrow from an unknown source. However, because of his Immortality, he had to endure the poison constantly. It was only after becoming sagittarius and returning his Immortality to the gods that he finally escaped this pain. Participating in the Holy Grail War, his wish for the Holy Grail is to retrieve the Immortality given to him by his parents.
In greek mythology, the rare great sage Charon was ultimately struck by a Hydra poison arrow. To escape that pain, he returned his proof of divinity, which was his Immortal Body.
The gods, feeling pity for Charon, allowed him to ascend to the sky and become a star. However, the Charon of the present world regrets returning his Immortal Body and intensely yearns to obtain it once more.
However, this is not for the sake of ascending to godhood, nor does he truly want an Immortal Body. This wish of his is entirely because he wants to find the only uniqueness he received from his parents.
"I see. In a way, you're quite pure, Teacher," Achilles said, slowly lowering the long spear in his hand with a slight smile.
In greek mythology, familial affection can be said to be worthless, as can be seen from the fact that successive generations of Greek God-Kings rose to power by killing their fathers.
Charon continued to smile and said, "Perhaps. Although I have already become a constellation twinkling in the sky, I still want to retrieve my Immortality. Even though I have never met my parents, I still love them, so I still want to retrieve my Immortality."
"Then I shall prepare a stage suitable for my battle with you, Teacher!!" Achilles said, swinging the long spear in his hand with great excitement.
"Go! My spear! My conviction! [Diatrekhon Aster Lonkhe]!"
Achilles shouted towards the starry sky, then threw the long spear behind Charon. The moment the spear hit the ground, it immediately transformed into an invisible wave of energy that spread out, causing the color of the surrounding environment to dim. It appeared that a Bounded Field had been deployed.
[Diatrekhon Aster Lonkhe]
[Rank: B+]
[Type: Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm]
[Range: 2–10]
[Maximum Catch: 1 person]
[A Noble Phantasm that can only be used when leaving the "Troias Tragoidia." It is the long spear gifted by Charon when Achilles's parents were married, and its material is the same as Charon's bow and arrows. It can create a domain for the purpose of a heroic duel, a great magecraft comparable to a Reality Marble. Since he was not summoned as a Lancer, it lacks some abilities like the unhealable curse. At the same time, due to the anecdote of his deep regret after killing the Amazon Queen Penthesilea with this spear, it cannot be activated by its True Name against women. Besides this, the spear itself possesses killing power matching its rank; when Achilles throws this spear with all his might, a single strike can erase a Servant of Charon's level from reality.]
"This is?" Charon said, looking at the dim space around him. He could clearly see that within this space, there were certain powers he could no longer use.
Achilles freed his hands and clenched them into tight fists, slowly stepping forward. "Inside this Bounded Field, even your bow, Teacher, will not have any effect. Here, only pure hand-to-hand combat can be used."
As Achilles finished speaking, he assumed a Pankration starting stance.
Hearing this, a slight smile appeared on Charon's face as he said, "Honestly, the one who taught you Pankration was me."
Although he was smiling, Charon's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. He also assumed the same starting stance as Achilles. Their fists met, and with excited smiles on their faces, they said:
"I am Achilles, son of the hero Peleus."
"I am Charon, son of the great god Kronos."
After speaking, their fists collided, and they engaged in the most primitive close-quarters combat. Fists met fists, blows landed on flesh, as they unleashed all their strength and martial skills without reservation. Achilles even used his weak point, his heel.
The final result was the same as in the original work. Achilles, relying on high-speed footwork to accelerate, punched through Charon's spiritual core and secured victory, while simultaneously dispelling the [Diatrekhon Aster Lonkhe] Bounded Field.
