Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

Achilles leaped directly from the Sky Garden and drove his chariot towards the Black faction.

"Come on, let's start the battle! Let me, the red team's Rider, be the vanguard!"

On the other side, facing the overwhelming army of Dragon Fang Soldiers, the Grand Duke also unleashed his Noble Phantasm.

"Come, you barbarians who trample my land, it is time for your punishment!"

"Compassion and anger will become scorching stakes that will pierce you! And these stakes are limitless and endless!"

"Despair over this, and moisten your throat with your own blood!"

"The King of Extreme Execution!"

In an instant, countless spikes erupted from the ground, and as the Grand Duke saw, all the Dragon Fang soldiers were instantly impaled on the spikes.

Rin Tohsaka: "Aren't these skeletons? How come they can be nailed to stakes?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "It's the effect of the opponent's Noble Phantasm."

Lion Robber Jie Li: "The Piercing Grand Duke truly lives up to his reputation."

"Hmph, you're here."

An arrow came flying, but the Grand Duke blocked it with a backhand thrust of his spear.

[She is Atalanta, who descended from the Sky Garden, but the Grand Duke's true adversary is not her.]

"You must be Vlad III, the Lancer of the Black Faction."

Karna landed before the Grand Duke, his expression unchanged, and asked.

[Grand Duke: "You're calling me by my real name, so you must be Lancer from the Red Team."]

Karna: "Yes, for some reason I've come to punish you, so don't blame me."

[The Grand Duke: "No, no, there's no need to blame you. You must kill me, and I must kill you."]

"Come! You criminals who have trespassed on my homeland, it's time for your execution!"

[The Grand Duke unleashed his Noble Phantasm, Executioner King, once more, unleashing a barrage of sharp spikes towards the two Red Faction Servants.]

Atalanta kept retreating and dodging, while Karna calmly dealt with the situation.

Karna: "Destruction is pointless."

[Any spike that pierces Karna's defenses fails to penetrate and instead breaks itself off.]

[Grand Duke: "Excellent armor, but it's pointless to get close!"]

The Grand Duke then charged towards Karna with his spear, aiming straight for Karna's throat.

"Magic Release!"

[Scorching flames erupted from Karna's body, instantly forcing the Grand Duke back.]

In an instant, it was as if a sun had appeared in the sky.

[Grand Duke: "This doesn't seem to be an ordinary servant."]

Karna landed and said calmly, "Do you wish to surrender?"

"Don't say things that aren't even a joke, Lancer of the Red Team. As long as I still have the desire to entrust my heart to the Holy Grail, I will not surrender."

The Grand Duke charged straight at Karna, shouting, "And how long can your magic sustain your weapons, armor, and even your flames?!"

The two sides immediately clashed.

Weber: "To think he could fight Karna to this extent, Vlad III was actually that strong."

Feng Xi: "Of course it's not that strong. This is the bonus effect of homeland and reputation."

Weber: "Enhancement?"

Feng Xi: "Heroic spirits can gain a homeland bonus by fighting on their homeland, which will enhance their strength. At the same time, if the battlefield has a high reputation for that heroic spirit, they can gain a reputation bonus, which will further enhance their strength."

Kotomine Shiro: "I see. As the guardian of Romania's past, fighting on Romanian soil gave him a huge boost."

Rin Tohsaka: "This boost is too much! It makes the Grand Duke comparable to Karna."

Grand Duke: "Little girl, what you said is true, but this way of saying it makes me very uncomfortable."

Meanwhile, Achilles is wreaking havoc on the forces of the Thousand World Tree, but is being thwarted by Avisbro.

He used the self-repairing puppet to successfully stop Achilles's advance.

An arrow then flew past, successfully attracting Achilles' attention.

"Where is Black's Archer? Let's continue the game we didn't finish last time!"

"It's closer than you thought."

Chiron's voice rang out, and a barrage of arrows came from behind, but Achilles, with his quick reflexes, blocked them.

Achilles smashed all the golems blocking his way and charged towards the direction from which the arrows had come.

[“I found you!”]

Achilles aimed his spear at Chiron's location, but upon seeing Chiron's true form, his pupils contracted involuntarily.

Chiron seized this opening and sent Achilles flying with a spinning kick.

Achilles scrambled to his feet, utterly incredulous, and exclaimed, "Teacher Chiron, why is the Black Archer you?!"

"What a stupid question. Of course, it's me, as the Black Archer, who will manifest in the world."

Chiron drew his bow and said, "You show no mercy to your enemies, but you are completely unguarded with your friends. That is your weakness, Achilles."

"But this is the Holy Grail War; there's no room for holding back, not even against you. Do you understand, Achilles?"

【"cut!"】

Achilles, looking conflicted, raised his meteor spear, preparing to face his teacher.

Heel: "Haha, if I hadn't met the teacher in the group first, I probably would have ended up like in this video."

Teacher Ma: "Achilles, this is both your strength and your weakness. Remember the lessons from the video."

Heel: "Yes, yes."

Ilya: "Aren't you still rivals? Isn't this aiding the enemy?"

Teacher Ma: "..."

Heel: "..."

Meanwhile, on the battlefield...

Sieg had arrived sometime earlier and was bandaging the wounds of the surviving androids.

Why are you here?

[Zig: "I can't abandon you, even just one of you, I want to save you."]

"...To be thrown into war, to be consumed—this is the fate of us androids; we were born for this purpose."

"We were not born to die. We have life, and we have the right to choose."

Sieg said solemnly, "Astolfo and Siegfried granted me my freedom, so I hope you will be free as well."

Gold: "This guy actually came back."

Serenika: "See? I told you this guy should have been executed sooner."

Danic: "..."

Unexpectedly, Sieg has returned, and he even plans to liberate other homunculus.

It seems I was too naive and created a huge problem.

Zieg: "...I don't think I did anything wrong."

Weber: "There is nothing wrong with wanting to save your fellow human beings from suffering."

Afu: "That's right!"

Chapter 207 - Afu Who Drives the Black Team Crazy

"Shut up, Rider!"

Sereneka angrily rebuked Afu, her eyes looking like she wanted to devour him.

Before Afu could say anything more, Chiron quickly covered his mouth.

This kid really doesn't know how to read the situation; he doesn't realize that Sieg is now the target of everyone's criticism.

In the sky garden, Kotomine Shirou watched the battle below, a restless urge stirring within him.

"Heh, even you, with the Holy Grail so close at hand, are starting to get a little excited."

The Empress approached Kotomine Shiro from behind and laughed, "But don't forget, once you die, I will also be eliminated, and all our plans will come to nothing. Do you understand?"

[Kotomine Shiro: "Yes, of course I know that."]

[Empress: "Honestly, you're a Master now. You shouldn't be stepping onto the battlefield, but why are you insisting on risking your life to fight?"]

"If my plans go against God's will, then I will surely be defeated on this battlefield."

Kotomine Shiro smiled faintly, "If that's really the case, I will simply accept death peacefully, because God has not forgiven me."
