The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

Atalanta's arrows, fired from her Sky Bow at full power, can even reach the A-rank level, with power equivalent to a regular C-rank Noble Phantasm.

Furthermore, the trajectory of this arrow can be controlled by magic power, so such a strike is enough to take the life of an ordinary Servant.

But at that moment, the arrow could only graze the falling wings and was deflected, landing outside the fortress.

"The chariot that once swirled with Zeus's thunderbolts was once ridden by someone to challenge me, but in the end, he fell from the sky."

Achilles' chariot emerged from the billowing dust, but one of the three horses pulling it had fallen, and the chariot bore the marks of sword slashes.

Upon seeing this, Manjustra stood up and loudly proclaimed to Achilles.

“Let me tell you, you who cannot recognize the truth and the greatness of the king.”

"Standing before you is the foremost of all heroes in the world, the king of kings. If you still cannot see him, then you deserve to die."

"I've never heard of such a character before. Your attack just now only proves that you're qualified to fight me. Don't get too cocky, Archer!"

Despite the damage to his chariot, Achilles' fighting spirit only soared.

Chapter Seventeen: The Bow of the Sky

"What an extremely rare kind of foolishness! Or is it that so-called heroes are often just characters blinded by glory?"

Manju shook his head at Achilles's high fighting spirit. Since he had stood up, he should give this hero, who had once captivated his heart, a good test.

④The stories that took place on the battlefield of Troy were something that Manjus once longed for.

Therefore, Manju did not intend to destroy the hero at the beginning, but planned to enjoy himself before deciding his fate.

2. If you can truly demonstrate bravery, then go ahead and try to take control of your own destiny and break free from the good stories that are about to be fabricated.

Si Manshu stretched out his hand and shot out lightning from his hand, aiming straight at Achilles, who was standing on the chariot.

The arrow was not shot by Manjusaka himself, but by Ninurta.

The third deity, wielding a bow and arrow and a sickle sword, shot down the monstrous bird Anzu, which had stolen the Destiny Stone, and countless other demonic beasts.

Because of this story, Ninurta is often regarded as the incarnation of the god of the hunt, and her arrows are no less skillful than Artemis's.

5. Although Achilles' chariot was damaged, it was still an incredibly fast chariot. From the moment he launched his charge again, the chariot had already sliced ​​through the air with a loud bang.

The lightning arrows struck Achilles with perfect accuracy, despite his incredible speed, aiming to force him off his chariot.

However, although the archery skills were good, they were only at the level of being able to react in time.

Achilles drew his sword and deflected two incoming lightning arrows, while dodging the third one, which he couldn't reach.

"This arrow is swift enough, but not fast enough. It should at least be able to keep up with my chariot, Archer!"

Achilles stood tall and proud, shouting.

"Show me your skills, Archer. Let me see where your so-called greatness as a king really lies. At least show me the level that matches your boastful claims!"

Achilles showed no surprise at the attack, only delight, and a defiant voice came from his mouth as the longsword at his waist was already pointed at Manjus.

Atalanta's arrows, as if to bolster Achilles's morale, were fired, grazing past the chariot and heading straight for Manjus.

"Since you keep spouting nonsense, then let us see for ourselves! Let us see this proof of heroism, this crown of the great!"

Manjushri, of course, didn't need to stand on ceremony. She raised her hands high, allowing the pure white crown to shine once again.

Now that they are standing on the nailed-down land, the royal power will naturally be revealed.

Even just establishing the origin of the city would be enough, enough to demonstrate the power of heroes and kings.

“Gushi gave birth to Ninglu, who was the foremost hero in the world.”

There's no need for excessive language; simply stating the facts in the simplest terms is sufficient. (9)

The kingship in Manju's hands was a gift from Heaven, a divine revelation bestowed upon him as God's recognition of his heroic qualities. (4)

The stigmata transformed into a simple crown, appearing on Manjusaka's head and bringing with it a covenant with this land. (8)

"If you are truly a hero, you should know that my words are not false. Behold, they are proof of being the foremost hero!" (2)

Manju grasped the crown with both hands and placed it on his head; at the same moment, a terrible weight descended. (4)

This serves as proof of the power to command all heroes; although it only affects the heroes, it is effective in almost all aspects of the Holy Grail War. (3)

The immense pressure brought by royal power was placed upon Achilles, bringing his speeding chariot to an abrupt halt. (3)

If a magician were present at this moment, they would likely see that Achilles' attributes and skill levels are all decreasing.

"What happened, Rider?" (5)

Atalanta, seeing Achilles suddenly stop and grit his teeth in a somewhat ferocious expression, asked worriedly.

“A terrible pressure has been placed upon me, and my power is being stripped away. Archer of the Black faction, you really don’t lie.”

Achilles shook his head, then exhaled and gripped his sword tighter.

"Indeed, I see your Crown Archer, but if you think you can become the leader of heroes with just that, then I have to tell you to stop dreaming!"

"A hero cannot be subdued by crowns and power. Convince me with your fists, or wait for my spear to shatter your crown."

The crown that commands heroes is not a reason for heroes to back down, at least not a reason for Achilles to back down.

He would never back down, whether for his own sake or for the honor of his great hero father and goddess mother.

He pulled on the reins, adjusted his posture, and after his body had recovered from its weakness, he was ready to charge again.

"Alright, alright, even so, I can't stop you from still trying to reach for Yu Rongguang."

“Then I will grant your wish and let you know the origin of this glory. It was never something that came about for the sake of being.”

Although Manshu said this, he actually shook his head and sighed.

If this guy were any more rational, he should have realized that this hero's crown is not even a half-finished product.

However, heroes, at least, have plenty of basic courage, but courage alone is not enough.

Then let's put out a little bit of our true skills and let this hero taste the bitter fruit and defeat.

"I'll show you what a hunter before the gods truly represents!"

Having divine archery skills alone is not enough; one must also use a suitable bow to truly unleash that unparalleled power.

"I seek the glory of this name, hoping it will illuminate my body! Bow and shackles, scepter and time."

What Manju sought was Ninurta's warhammer and his scepter.

He will transform this hunter's scepter into a divine bow in his hand.

To deliver a truly impactful shot, one that is at least worthy of the title of a hunter before the gods.

An overwhelming aura appeared in Manju's hands, and the weapon named Sharul was crafted into a longbow, ready to be nocked an arrow.

"It's a bit of a pity, I've only just arrived in this land and haven't even hunted yet. But it's enough. If you can survive this arrow, then come and witness that shot that once pierced heaven!"

When it came time to use arrows, Manshu felt a little regretful, as he could only create them using magic.

However, it was indeed enough; a thunderous roar, enough to shatter the land beneath their feet, erupted from Manshu's hands.

-------------

I had some things to do today, so I'm writing a little late. There won't be an extra update today, but there will be one tomorrow.

Chapter Eighteen: A Ceasefire

As soon as the bowstring was drawn, a thunderous roar fell from the sky, and lightning and dense clouds filled the heavens.

The sound of a horn was blown, a blessing offered by Gabriel who was standing nearby.

Gabriel's protection of the city was bestowed upon Manjusaka, and ultimately became the bow into which a trickle of magic flowed.

The immense magical power squeezed out has even exceeded what Manshulu could possibly produce. If he weren't standing on this very ground, this would have been impossible.

This is the condensation of city-level magic power, which is then released from Manjusaka's hands.

Just like the scene on Mount Sinai, there was thunder and lightning in the sky, followed by heavenly fire falling from it.

That fire was like an arrow in Manjusaka's hand, which, even before it was released, caused the world in front of him to look on in horror.

However, this fire is not the fire that God brought down from Mount Sinai, but the fire that Nimrod fought against Abraham in the past.

This was Nimrod's worship of fire, the flame of burnt offerings, a radiant and intensely hot flame.

The arrow's ultimate target is naturally the prey offered as a sacrifice; this heaven-sent karmic fire will burn the target to ashes, leaving not a drop of blood.

Manju released the heavenly fire in his hand. Although it was made of pure magic power and he did not find a good enough arrow to carry it, its power was enough to reach the level of a high-powered Noble Phantasm.

Upon seeing the flames erupting from Manjusaka's hand, Atalanta did not hesitate for a moment and pointed her longbow at the sky.

Two arrows aimed at the sky, narrowing the range to a single point, and Atalanta unleashed her Noble Phantasm.

"Offering this calamity, the 'Arrow of the Lawsuit (Phoibos??Catastrophe)'!"

A brilliant rain of arrows then fell from the sky, shrinking the area controlled by Atalanta to a tiny size, covering only the front of Achilles' chariot.

Atalanta's Noble Phantasm is to pray to Apollo and Artemis to bring calamity upon them, compressing a vast number of light arrows into an extremely small area and firing them out in large quantities.

But the arrows only took one step forward before being completely burned by the flames, leaving not even a trace.

However, there's not much that can stop a Noble Phantasm of this level from being released.

It only extinguished a few scattered flames around the arrow before disappearing completely.

Atalanta could only charge up and fire her arrows, but the attack, only at the A-level, was much weaker than the rain of arrows she had just fired. It was useless except for extinguishing a few sparks.

Then the heavenly fire descended upon Achilles' chariot, and the two immortal steeds bestowed upon him by Poseidon were instantly burned to ashes.

The chariot was destroyed and obliterated without any resistance, and only Achilles, standing on the chariot, was able to resist it all.

(8) A shield was taken from his hand; it was the shield forged by Hephaestus, the god of forging.

Ah, this shield is engraved with heaven and earth and sky, sun and moon and stars, gods and country and man, soldiers and thieves and sacrificial animals, songs and life and death.

The vast Oceanus lies on the outside of this shield, and the magnificent sea forms the foundation of the world.

This is the world that represents the heroic life of a man, and it is the world as seen by Achilles.

⑹“‘Akhilleus Kosmos, the small world that surrounds the heavens!’”

Umbrella Achilles unleashed the true name of the Noble Phantasm in his hand, and the world engraved on the shield began to spin and expand.

The tiny world unfolds in front of the shield, reconstructing space and time.

Whether it's a person, an army, a city, a country, or a divine artifact, Si can completely withstand almost any attack.
