A meteor-like burst of fighting spirit exploded on Achilles' body, and in the instant that she realized something was possible, Shuoyue also stopped in her tracks.

It might be possible if he deliberately created distance, but for Achilles, as a warrior, to do so would offer absolutely no benefit. If there was any...

Noble Phantasm. "

“That’s right, just as you imagined, the new moon!” Achilles’s booming voice echoed through the courtyard. “Now you’ll experience the true power of this spear!”

The spear blade emitted a crisp clang as Achilles stood atop his chariot, bathed in the brilliant sunlight, and unleashed a perfectly executed javelin throw:

"Go! My gun, my belief—the tip of the Soaring Star's spear!"

The spear flew straight into the air and finally came to a stop. It was not a throwing attack aimed at the enemy; Achilles' spear did not even carry the slightest killing intent.

Shuoyue, on the other hand, clearly sensed the birth of the great magic.

Centered on the spear that burst forth with golden-green light, a clear barrier unfolded, instantly enveloping Achilles and Shuoyue, causing them to disappear from everyone's sight. Shuoyue, captured by Achilles's treasure, was not alarmed, but rather looked at the space with a hint of curiosity.

This little world is incredibly simple and solid.

Rather than enclosing it with walls, it's more like cutting off the space itself, creating a feeling of isolation from the world.

"I see. The Noble Phantasm that rewrites the world is almost identical to Nero's [Invitation to the Golden Theater of Exhilaration] in terms of magical principles."

Shuoyue, with her profound knowledge of magic, immediately saw through Achilles' Noble Phantasm. Although she had known this would happen as a transmigrator, experiencing it firsthand still brought a sense of novelty, which was quickly overwhelmed by a sense of crisis, simply because—

“There is no divinity or anything like that here, not to mention a third party, and the influence of luck and time is also reduced to zero.” Looking at Achilles slowly walking over, Shuoyue showed a rare hint of appreciation. “The only thing that exists here is each other’s power.”

"Then, once the battle is decided here, the other side of the world will also determine the victor," Achilles continued. "This is a space I created to settle things with that old man Hector. It's a veritable battlefield for heroes. How about giving it a try, New Moon?"

Faced with Achilles' challenge, Shuoyue casually tossed aside the gauntlet in her hand and grinned coldly.

"I can't ask for it."

Chapter 534 Pankrasin VS Bajiquan

—In the Trojan War, despite the participation of famous heroes such as Achilles and Ajax, Troy was not conquered for several years, and there are several reasons for this.

For example, Achilles' dislike of the leader Agamemnon led to internal conflicts within the invading army, and the city of Troy was impregnable and protected by the sun god Apollo.

However, all of these were merely trivial details. If that were all, the Greek army, though it might suffer some hardships, would never have fallen into despair at being unable to capture the enemy city.

The biggest reason for this can only be attributed to one man: Hector, the prince of Troy and a great hero.

Hector, a soldier, a general, a strategist, a politician, and a member of the royal family, united the entire Trojan army, keeping them fighting with high morale.

Although the Trojan War itself was brought to a standstill by Achilles' campaign against Hector, it is an undeniable fact that the Achaean army was in dire straits because of Hector's presence alone.

"That guy actually laughed and said things like, 'If I were to fight someone who is protected by the goddess, I would be punished by the heavens,' and kept running away. So, in order to have a fair one-on-one fight with him, I created this move."

"As expected of you, Achilles."

Shuoyue was somewhat speechless about this.

From a normal person's perspective, this space should be a place to gain an overwhelming advantage. For example, to enhance the user's abilities or, conversely, to weaken the enemy's abilities—creating such a space should be the original purpose of grand magic.

Despite this, the man created this great magic trick simply in pursuit of a fair and impartial battle.

Achilles, as if delighted, bumped his fists together and said:

"Just as you said, there is no such thing as divinity here. You'll bleed if you get hit, and your joints will dislocate if you get pinched. Not even luck can intervene, let alone a third party. Time stands still. And once a winner is decided here, a winner will also be decided in the outside world. How about that? It's very simple, isn't it?"

“Let me guess…” Shuoyue cracked her neck, making a 'crack' sound, “Hector accepted it back then, right?”

"Well, that guy said something like, 'If that's the case, I might still have a chance to win,' and then he agreed. But in the end, I still beat him."

Achilles stomped his foot on the ground with a "thud" as if to confirm, adopting a close-combat stance. The scene of him standing opposite Shuoyue was just like two ferocious beasts sharpening their claws.

"So, Shuoyue, do you accept?"

"Ha, bare-handed? It seems you're very confident in your boxing skills, that's good."

"Hey, don't play dumb. You're clearly skilled in martial arts yourself, aren't you?"

Shuoyue was right. Achilles's fighting style was learned from Chiron. The Pancrassians are still synonymous with brutality. Chiron even used this to knock down a swooping Red, severely injuring him and causing him to vomit blood.

Achilles' words were not wrong at all. Shuoyue's Bajiquan, which he obtained from the Destiny Compendium and has been honed to the point where it is no less than any master's, can penetrate Hei's defense with just one punch.

So-called heroes are all confident beings, but never before have they been so clearly aware that they are on the verge of death. There is no luck to protect them, no skills to help them. Once a vital point is hit, it is death. Even if Shuoyue still has a bunch of backup plans, there is no way to use them. They can only declare their death in this world. The assassin will no longer exist.

Their hearts were burning, a feeling that brought a bitter smile to their faces. For this very moment, they cast aside the Holy Grail War and their identities as Servants. Both were merely nameless warriors, and they believed that was for the best.

Clenching their fists, they collided, exchanging names in the refreshing emerald green world:

three--

“My true name is Achilles, son of the hero Peleus.”

two--

"My name is Shuoyue, I am an anonymous traveler, and I am a disciple of the ancient martial art Bajiquan."

one--

They created distance, assumed a stance, and spoke in unison:

"Here, in broad daylight—"

zero.

"Let's settle this once and for all!!!"

At the same instant his straight punch struck the new moon, his heavy blow also struck Achilles' liver.

Both roared at each other, glaring down at one another, and swinging their decisive punches with excitement.

Normally, this single blow would have been enough to decide the outcome. An ordinary person would have their head shattered by Achilles' straight punch, but after being struck by Shuoyue's Bajiquan, it wouldn't just be the liver that would be injured; almost all of their organs would be completely crushed and mixed together, turning into a pile of minced meat.

Even if the opponent is not an ordinary person, even a Servant would probably not be able to stand still unscathed. That fist has completely deviated from normal concepts; it is forged through near-mad forging.

But for the two oddballs, this was just a minor squabble, like a greeting before a major show.

Achilles coughed up a mouthful of blood and nimbly retreated to create distance, while Shuoyue wiped the blood from her forehead, her injury slowly healing.

One is a warrior who received teachings from sages in ancient Greece and reached the pinnacle of physical strength; the other is an assassin protected by the Third Law, making him almost impossible to kill.

Looking at his evenly matched opponents, Achilles sneered. Even Shuoyue snorted softly through her nose. Without saying a word, she instantly covered several meters and threw the first punch!

Raise your arm to block, strike with your left fist, dodge to the side, and clash with your fists. In the instant of their exchange, their movements change, like two giant dragons entangled in an attempt to gain the upper hand.

A bright red shawl fluttered in the wind. Shuoyue glanced at it quickly, and Achilles seized the opportunity to crouch down and dodge the punch. The muscles in his feet made a sound like springs being compressed, and then in the next moment, he soared into the air!

Realizing the danger, Shuoyue crossed her arms, and in a mere second, Achilles unleashed a meteor-like five-hit combo. Blood splattered, and Shuoyue's face twitched slightly from the intense pain. She wanted to retaliate, but Achilles had already created space with the last kick, landing gracefully in the distance before taking off in a whirlwind!

"Drink up! Drink ...

That was a breathtaking roar. The hero, known for his speed, sprinted forward, instantly accumulating terrifying impact and striking a single point—his flying kick!

That was an impact no less than that of a bullet, but Shuoyue not only did not dodge, but instead used her waist and stance as one, using her hands as a bridge, and then pushed out both palms without showing any weakness.

The tiger climbs the mountain hard!

Fists and feet collided, the crisp sound of bones cracking echoed through the sky with the sonic boom, but the expressions of the two did not change in the slightest. Shuoyue twisted her body and swung her leg, while Achilles raised his fist to block, but his stance was broken in an instant.

"What……!?"

Achilles' eyes widened instantly. The moment his fist was deflected, Shuoyue had already cut into his arms. Achilles raised his knee without hesitation to strike, but Shuoyue grabbed his right knee, damaged the knee joint, broke the bone, and threw Achilles' body backward.

Amidst billowing dust, a figure crashed into the house in the courtyard, passing through three walls before finally coming to a stop.

It wasn't that he was floating in the air, but rather that his body felt like it was being tossed around like a toy—followed by a strong impact to his face. In a brief moment of disorientation, a black figure approached like a ghost, its fist slamming straight towards his head like a steel spear!

The martial artist's senses saved Achilles' life. He rolled away, his whole body instantly drenched in a warning sweat, because he was still not out of danger. A whistling wind came from the back of his head, like a kicking ball. Shuoyue kicked out, her foot blade aimed at Achilles' head!

With a push of his arms, he leaped into the air to dodge the kick. However, this was not a defensive move. With astonishing control, Achilles executed a spinning kick in mid-air as a counterattack.

It was like ink splashing freely on paper. Shuoyue braced herself up to receive the attack, but that kick was not only an attack but also a fulcrum. Achilles, who was already floating in the air, used this to step into the air, and his other leg struck Shuoyue's face with destructive power.

Double spinning kick!

This was a miracle that only a hero known for his leg strength could accomplish. The strike, swift as a meteor, took only a moment, and it took only a moment for Shuoyue to recover from the dizziness of the concussion. Blood covered his right eye, but he didn't look at it and grabbed Achilles' heel with both hands.

At the cost of a life-threatening injury, they seized Achilles' greatest weakness, and then—twisted it!

The unparalleled Bajiquan once again unleashed its killing power, tearing apart the intricate muscles as if they were being slashed by a hot knife. A heavy and intense pain instantly swept through his entire body. It was a miracle that Achilles didn't cry out in pain. Even so, he gritted his teeth and used his other intact foot to kick off Shuoyue's arm, thus escaping.

The distance widened again, and in less than twenty seconds, the battle was bloody and remarkable.

Achilles's roundhouse kick destroyed the new moon's right eye and broke his arm.

The new moon's fist twisted Achilles' tendon, halting his swift gait.

In terms of the severity of the injuries, the new moon's injuries were far more severe, but in terms of the degree of severity, Achilles was in critical condition.

The fierce, life-or-death struggle gave them a chance to catch their breath.

"As expected of the Swift Kick." Shuoyue exclaimed, her head still reeling from the blow to the side of her head, her consciousness even a little blurred. "It actually managed to damage my eyes."

“But that’s all. You also squeezed my ankle so hard when I kicked it.” Achilles kicked his toes, no longer as agile as before. “Still so ruthless.”

"Once you've got your hands on someone, you have to destroy them. Whether it's Pankrasin or Bajiquan, isn't that how all killing techniques work?"

"Yes, that's what my teacher taught me too, I remember it very clearly!"

Even with his ankle injured, Achilles still managed to close in on Shuoyue in a blur before he finished speaking. The two of them lowered their bodies and threw punches at each other, dealing heavy damage to each other while facing the blows head-on!

"I will not fall unless my skull is destroyed or my heart is ripped out!" Achilles swore in his heart.

So what if the comet runs? Know that my Eight Extremes technique needs no second strike! The new moon's only remaining left eye turned rainbow blue, its killing intent cold and insane.

The fight to the death... continues!

Chapter 535 Warriors, Needless to Say

In a pristine and pure world, two figures roared and unleashed fists powerful enough to shatter the world.

Regardless of who is better or worse, the nature of their punches is still very different.

The new moon, which directly targeted Achilles' vital points, was practically a one-hit kill.

Achilles, on the other hand, launched a fierce attack at top speed, manipulating the new moon with meteor-like punches—a style of boxing designed to kill his opponent.

Just as expected—Shuoyue thought to herself.

Achilles' fists do indeed possess unparalleled power, but they still tend to be linear, a way of increasing destructiveness by abandoning variation.
