I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

"What's going on? What happened?"

The sudden shaking almost caused Achilles to fall while he was running. He looked left and right, trying to find the source of the shaking.

"It came from over there."

Chiron reacted faster than Achilles. He carried Cowles on his back and looked into the distance.

"That's the palace area..."

"That's the altar where the Great Holy Grail is placed."

Avisbronn, standing on the shoulders of giants, spoke.

"This explosion should be related to the Black Assassin."

"Hmph, that guy is working hard, but the Great Holy Grail seems to be still alive. I wonder how that guy is doing."

After careful sensing, Achilles confirmed this fact. Although he is the top warrior, Achilles's magic literacy is also very high, otherwise he would not have created a variant of the inherent barrier to isolate the duel space from the interference of gods.

Just when Achilles was about to jump to a higher place for further confirmation, Astolfo's anxious voice came from above.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be in a daze there, I can't stop it anymore, help me, I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die!!!"

When I looked up, I saw Hydera and Bashum with ten heads in total chasing the Pegasus Bekasas and biting them.

It turned out that the shaking of the earth attracted the attention of the followers but had no impact on the two monsters. After all, they could cause huge vibrations even if they moved by themselves. They were already used to it, so they just shook their bodies and continued to attack.

The first ones to bear the brunt were the weak Astolfo and the timid Beccasas who were standing on the front line. They were frightened to death.

As for Sieg...well, he had already fainted, being shaken by various high-speed motors.

Upon receiving the call for help from his companions, Avisbron immediately ordered the giant to rush forward. Chiron followed closely behind, and a barrage of arrows once again made Hydra blind.

Achilles stepped on the ground a few times, and after finding his balance, he was ready to rush forward, but he saw Atalanta still standing there in a daze, mumbling.

"Really happened?"

"What happened, sis?"

Atalanta didn't answer, she just drew her bow and shot an arrow in the direction of the Great Holy Grail.

Achilles asked: "What are you—?"

Atalanta's expression was complicated: "It's nothing, just fulfilling an agreement with someone."

"Someone?"

"Well, there is a guy who is desperate for revenge. Although that guy is very annoying, but... forget it, Rider, let's deal with this quickly. There may be a monster to hunt later."

"Anything else? Okay, no problem, I'm going in. Sister, you cover me."

The figure flashed, and Achilles turned into a stream of light.

Atalanta then opened her bow and launched her unique skill "Seven Arrows of the Big Dipper".

After a round of arrow rain, she looked at the source of the shock again and said silently in her heart.

"Don't die. Maybe I don't care, and you don't care either, but little Jack cares, Master cares, and there are many people waiting for you."

◇◇◇

No matter how powerful the explosion was, it could not last, and soon the storm caused by the two huge energies subsided.

I don't know if Atalanta's wish took effect. The space collapse did not kill Shinji, but only left him with a bloody head and some skin injuries.

Unfortunately, his opponent, Shirou, did not die in the explosion and space collapse. Although he lost his arms and was in tatters and looked much miserable than Shinji, he managed to survive.

More importantly, the Great Holy Grail that he protected behind him was also successfully preserved. Although the outer shell was destroyed by the explosion and lost half of its volume, the Great Holy Grail still did not lose its brilliance and was still fulfilling its responsibilities. And it continues to buzz.

If this continues, it won't be long before the Great Holy Grail's functions are restored.

Shirou, who was half-kneeling on the ground, let out a long breath when he saw this:

"Very good, very good. Use the rules of 'The Roar of the Flawed Beast' to store magic power in the 'receptive' state to trigger self-destruction, and then return to being a servant at the critical moment to pursue with 'Fantasy Collapse'. Your use of the Noble Phantasm It’s already very good, but unfortunately it’s still my ‘Double Wrist Zero Concentration’ technique that’s one step ahead.”

"Yes, you are more skilled, but the battle is not over yet."

Shenji admitted frankly, his expression was very calm, completely different from his previous expression full of hatred and distortion. The wounds caused by the explosion healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the "roar of the beast" given by Spartacus was still in effect.

"No, you have no chance."

Shirou stood up, and two rows of bright red marks were revealed in the broken monastic clothes. One-third of them were dimmed, and then three more were dimmed.

"I restore my body with a command spell."

The miraculous magic power gathered, and the force reassembled the souls, and Shirou's hands recovered faster than the "Roar of the Flawed Beast".

"It's okay. Although the destroyed Noble Phantasm has not been restored, the sword swing is not affected. As expected, the more Command Spells, the better."

The boy shook the new student's hands, patted the badly damaged shirt with one hand, picked up the tachi that fell at his feet with the other, waved it twice, and finally pointed at Shenji, who had empty hands.

"Are you going to continue fighting with me without a weapon? Let me make it clear first, the same tricks are useless against me. I will not give you another chance to accumulate magic power and explode yourself."

The self-destruction of the "Flawed Beast" must accumulate enough damage to have a chance to destroy the Great Holy Grail, so the most correct way is to kill it quickly without giving it a chance to accumulate power, and Shirou has this ability.

"Yeah, I know-"

Shinji's expression remained calm, as if the person standing opposite him was not a sword master who had understood the ultimate power of the sword (tachi). He raised his head and looked through the roof of the palace that was destroyed by the explosion.

"——So I will fight for it myself."

Before he finished speaking, a black shadow smoothly passed through the air and landed at Shen Er's feet, making no sound during the entire process.

"This is--?"

This is an arrow painted black, which looks very inconspicuous. It is an arrow used by hunters hunting in the dark to sneak up on their prey. The arrow itself is nothing eye-catching. The key is the something that exists in the state of a spirit child that is wrapped around the arrow.

The moment Shinji's hand touched the arrow, the spirit child transformed into an entity - a piece of cloth that was also pitch black, like the fur of some kind of animal, exuding chilling resentment.

"This is my chance. You should know the name of this piece of fur and the conditions for its use."

"I... boar skin, 'Boar of God's Punishment' - haven't you had enough!" Shirou was no longer able to curse.

"The Boar of Divine Punishment", Atalanta's second Noble Phantasm, after using it, you gain the power of the terrifying beast that summoned warriors from all over Greece, but still suffered many casualties. As a price, your spirit will be controlled by the boar, rationality Disappear and become a monster that only knows destruction and killing.

For the user, this is equivalent to self-destruction in another sense.

This is the fourth halal combo after the weakened version of halal strike, the full version of halal strike, and the ultimate version of halal strike!

Three red plus EX self-destruction combo, I ask you if you are afraid!
