With the ability to transform, I am a judge.

Swift as lightning, shattering the heavens!

After unleashing his ultimate attack, Yang Li immediately activated his magic power, causing an ice and snow temple to rise from the ground in front of him.

Magic was poured into her frantically; the Godslayer Spear was aimed at her, an attack that was destined to annihilate a single individual, its power surpassing even the limited Ea.

To block that attack, the only option is a defense comparable to that of the world itself, to resist an attack that even the gods fear.

The Temple of the Sun can support the sky and is itself a unique kind of inherent barrier. Yang Li activated his EX-level Thousand-Mile Vision and successfully captured the trajectory of the God-Slaying Spear as it fell.

The rising Temple of the Sun created an inherent barrier, and then swallowed it up through the barrier. Yang Li's face was somewhat pale.

The lines on her forehead slowly faded. Yang Li had broken her contract with her Master Fiore on her own. In her current state, if she absorbed the magic power provided by her Master, she would be able to wear Fiore down to death.

With her "Heaven's Feel: Evil" fully unleashed, Yang Li walked towards Karna, who had already fallen to the ground, her brows furrowed tightly.

The Temple of the Sun was destroyed, and the incredibly powerful attack, after being absorbed, crashed directly into the temple itself, which was comparable to the concept of the heavens.

The ability to obliterate anything did not destroy the heavens, but the power of the divine spear itself still destroyed the main body of the barrier—Yang Li lost a treasure!

Moreover, not only that, the lightning and fire on the God-Slaying Spear also achieved other intractable effects...

“My temple has been destroyed. Your God-Slaying Spear is indeed extremely powerful.”

Yang Li stood beside Karna, the son of the sun god, who was now covered in blood. Her sword had nearly cleaved him in two, and he had also lost an arm.

The distant mountain peaks affected by the attack had inexplicably disappeared in parts; Yang Li, who had made extensive preparations beforehand, had won this battle.

"Did I lose?"

There was no question, only a complete statement: Karna, having lost his God-Slaying Spear and Golden Armor, was already in a terrible state.

He knew he had already lost. The concept represented by the temple that his opponent had manifested was of a very high level, and this kind of inherent barrier was quite effective against the God-Slaying Spear.

Karna showed no resentment or emotional fluctuations; in fact, he felt quite satisfied. Although he had lost, it was a fair and square duel, and he was simply outmatched in skill.

He wasn't invincible; otherwise, he wouldn't have died and become a Heroic Spirit. It's still quite satisfying to be able to fight against an opponent of equal strength.

Yang Li looked at Karna, whose body was beginning to dissipate, and fell silent.

"I'll borrow your spirit core for a moment."

"Take it, I hope it can help you."

Karna closed his eyes, feeling his soul core being taken away, then transformed into countless spirit particles and returned to the Throne of Heroes. Thus, the Red Lancer departed the stage...

Yang Li silently got up. Although the surroundings were still a mess, as if the scene had been bombed by more than a dozen nuclear bombs, Karna had already left.

First, she picked up the orange treasure chest on the ground, opened the [Face of Calamity], and threw Karna's spirit core into it. She now had two of the three golden targets.

Not only did they have Gilgamesh, the strongest human being, but now they also have Karna, who went straight to Tier 5 with full power, making this trip a complete success.

She had intended to obtain Karna's spirit core from the beginning, and Yang Li had also considered Achilles, who was slightly weaker than him.

The green hair is quite off-putting, and the [Hero's Unfading Flower] does have some limitations, after all, Achilles is just a Servant.

If faced with an extremely powerful attack, even if the attack itself is not divine, it is still possible to break through the defense.

Of course, it would be great to get them. The [Comet Run] is a relatively valuable Noble Phantasm, and the [Undying Chariot of Gale and Raging Waves] is also quite valuable.

Yang Li's clothes changed subtly, and she squinted as she looked at the garden flying in the air, her hands shimmering with gold.

The top-tier illusion technique unfolded, and a dazzling halo, as bright as the sun, slowly rose. Since this thing can't be taken with us anyway, it's better to throw it away.

Yang Li carefully sensed it and found that there were hundreds of aurora beams on the large light wheel, equivalent to hundreds of instantaneous curry sticks...

Chapter 528, Section 539: The Battle of Chiron and Achilles

Chapter 528: The Battle Between Chiron and Achilles

It was to be expected that Achilles would lose his composure upon seeing the familiar man before him, after all, this was his mentor.

To the once young Achilles, Chiron, gentle yet stern, was someone worthy of a lifetime of respect.

For Achilles, Chiron was not only a father and mentor, but also an elder brother and a close friend.

For him, the son of a hero, blessed by the Olympian gods, and ranked among the top three heroes of Greece, there were very few people who could be called friends or teachers.

This person was someone of equal importance to him, someone who could be compared to his good friend Patroclus.

But at this moment, he never expected that he would encounter Chiron in the Holy Grail War, and that they would be on opposing sides.

"Red Rider, you joined this war for the Holy Grail, so you shouldn't hesitate in a war!"

"!!"

Achilles was being scolded by his teacher just like before, and his somewhat dejected state immediately disappeared, replaced by a confident smile.

He raised the crossbow and aimed it at his teacher, no longer hesitating for the sake of their teacher-student relationship; that would be so unlike him.

With a stomp of his foot, the incredibly fast Achilles rushed in front of Chiron, thrusting his cross spear toward Chiron's heart.

As a Servant with top-tier Lancer skills, Achilles is confident that he can kill any archer with a single shot at this distance, because the distance is simply too close.

However, Chiron, who was opposite him, suddenly reached out and grabbed the tip of the spear, just as he had done when he restrained Achilles.

The instant he gripped the spear tip, he nocked an arrow, and without hesitation, fired it.

"Have you forgotten again? Who made your gun for you? Who taught you marksmanship?"

"And this arrow will kill you."

Achilles, facing a divine-level arrow at extremely close range, barely managed to dodge the fatal shot by twisting his body to the side and bending over, but a bloody gash appeared on his cheek.

Upon seeing this, Chiron immediately kicked Achilles, sending him flying, and then drew his bow and continued the pursuit.

Achilles crashed into a tree, flipped himself up, and with a thrust of his spear, deflected Chiron's arrow.

He realized he had been too arrogant; before him stood a renowned Greek sage, a great teacher who had instructed countless heroes.

The idea that bows are limited by distance and cannot compete with spears at close range is wrong from the start.

The Divine Realm level means breaking common sense and surpassing the human realm. For a powerhouse like Chiron, a close-range arrow is equally threatening.

He only has a 50% chance of winning if he gets close; that's the situation for Achilles. If he's kept at a distance, he's bound to lose.

After all, there were no chariots left. Unless he brought out an extra-standard, cheating shield, he would have no chance of winning once the distance was created, given Chiron's familiarity with him.

With his cross spear gripped tightly, Achilles launched a fierce attack, smashing, swinging, feinting, and piercing... He roared as he used every trick in the book.

He was completely focused and fearless. If possible, he wanted to use this battle to let his teacher witness his growth.

Chiron chuckled and leaped away, sometimes dodging and sometimes defending with his fists and feet. Every arrow he shot forced Achilles into a corner, and each of his arrows was extremely threatening.

The "Unfading Flower of the Brave" was completely ineffective against Chiron; the arrows either drew blood from his body or pierced his flesh directly.

With his A-grade durability and high mobility, these injuries are not a big deal, but if things continue like this, he will surely lose.

His foundation was entirely taught by Chiron, which meant that Chiron could see through his every move and launch defenses and counterattacks, while he lacked Chiron's insight.

Achilles pondered quickly. His foundation was all taught by Chiron, but he was no longer the same person he was when he first left Chiron.

His advancement was entirely self-taught, and his fighting style, if unleashed, should not have been known to Chiron...

"I understand now. The idea of ​​showing my growth to the teacher was restricting me!"

"This is a battle to the death!!"

With a roar, Achilles hurled his spear, then suddenly closed in on Chiron, dodging the arrow with a sharp turn of his head, before kicking out with his foot.

Chiron had not anticipated that Chiron would launch an attack on his ankle, which was considered a fatal weakness. When Chiron raised his arm to defend, he was put at a disadvantage.

If Achilles hadn't used his arm to defend, but instead had thrown a direct punch, he would surely have fallen to the ground by now. This peculiar situation was quite unexpected.

Achilles caught the cross spear as he leaped up, having taken the arrow to the abdomen, and then grazed Chiron's neck with the spear.

Chiron pressed his hand against the wound, and at the same time bent his knee and kicked Achilles, who was still not on the ground, sending him flying.

"This level of strength is probably top-tier even for a Lancer class."

"Of course, I was taught by you, teacher, and I've been through countless battlefields!"

Achilles flicked his spear, looking quite smug, and casually pulled the arrow from his abdomen, his face beaming with excitement.

Achilles had never imagined that he would be able to fight his teacher to the death, but now he was filled with joy. Indeed, it was this kind of life-or-death battle that brought him joy.

"That's great, we don't have to unilaterally slaughter our own students."

"Hmph, we don't know who will win or lose yet! Take this..."

With a roar, Achilles laughed wildly and stomped his foot, his cross spear turning into a blur of shadows.

Chiron, with a solemn expression, stepped back as he drew his bow and nocked an arrow. The sharp arrow flew toward Achilles, but was deflected by a single spear thrust, with a seemingly effortless air.

The cross-shaped spear swept out in an arc, cutting a large tree in half. Chiron, who was originally in front of the tree, had already leaped onto the tree.

With a leap, Chiron shot three arrows into the distance, a sinister smile playing on his lips.

Achilles charged toward Chiron, spear in hand, deflecting arrows with his crossbow as he approached, though Chiron's arrows still needed to be guarded against.

The spear tip deflected the first arrow, which, as always, flew upwards before being struck by the second arrow aimed at Achilles' head. The two arrows were derailed in mid-air.

But a third arrow suddenly arrived, colliding with the tails of the two arrows and striking Achilles directly in the shoulder.

The sound of hooves rang out, and Chiron, who had suddenly transformed back into a centaur, accelerated, his raised hoof striking Achilles directly in the chest, catching two arrows in mid-air.

The bowstring twanged, and two arrows, piercing the air, struck Achilles in quick succession, hitting his head and chest—both fatal spots.

In mid-air, Achilles swung his cross spear with his right hand and shielded his face with his left. In the end, one arrow was deflected, and another pierced his arm.

"...As expected of a teacher, did I underestimate him?"

Achilles looked at the arrow that had nearly broken his left arm; luckily, he used his skill in time to prevent the arrow from penetrating too far...
