Chapter 529: Pankrasin Mutual Combat
Bang——! !
The deafening explosion made Achilles' eye twitch. Luckily, he had sensed something was wrong and pulled out the arrow, otherwise he would have been blown to bits.
When they were about fifty meters apart, Chiron's lips curled up, a light shone in his hand, and he drew his bow and fired.
The ability to add explosive properties to arrows is a skill borrowed from 'divine wisdom'. Chiron never used it in this way to deceive his opponents, and he almost tricked his own apprentice just now.
Several points of light flickered in mid-air. Achilles, who had just taken a step to close the distance but was forced back, changed his expression.
"Futurism?!"
A barrage of arrows rained down, instantly sealing off Achilles' location. He endured the barrage and swiftly retreated out of the attack's range.
With a whooshing sound, Achilles adjusted his posture in mid-air, and immediately swung his cross spear to knock the attack away after landing, his feet leaving several meters long marks on the ground.
"Really... I must say, as expected of a teacher, he foresaw everything just now."
"In that case..."
As they paused, Achilles and Chiron's expressions changed simultaneously, and a storm of heat mixed with extreme cold swept over them.
The falling beam of light and the shattered icebergs in the distance affected a large area at this moment, and Achilles quickly steadied himself with the gun.
The scene, resembling a volcanic eruption, startled Achilles; the commotion was truly enormous.
Although he, Chiron, and the other two had deliberately kept the battlefield far apart to avoid the fighting affecting the main battlefield, it seems they hadn't gone far enough yet.
Even from a distance of thousands of meters, he could see the Dragon Fang Legion blasted to pieces, and the Red Berserker excited by the sudden damage.
"This is troublesome. It seems we need to hurry. Let the teacher witness the power of this gun, which even you don't know!"
"The tip of the spear of Soaring Star!!"
The cross-shaped spear slashed across Chiron's head and landed directly behind him. Since he didn't sense any danger, Chiron didn't do anything.
Immediately afterward, the spear tip plunged into the soil, and the light emitted from the spear enveloped a large area, causing even time to stand still for a moment.
"Interesting, has the world been rewritten? That's astonishing..."
“Here, all external powers do not exist, divinity is useless, and even fate has no place to interfere.”
Achilles slowly walked towards Chiron, then stopped a few meters in front of him, recounting the world he had created.
"Time is also frozen, only the power that each possesses exists... As long as a winner is determined here, a winner will also be determined outside."
"Are you willing to accept this kind of battle, teacher?"
Achilles looked at Chiron with a serious expression, because the barrier was another realm where time was completely frozen, making it a true one-on-one situation.
Of course, if the other person being pulled into the field does not accept it, then the field's effect is meaningless; it's just a Noble Phantasm that provides the possibility of a one-on-one duel.
Chiron nodded. He would naturally not refuse such an opportunity, as the battle between the two exceptional Servants outside could affect them at any time.
"Then come on, let me see how you've grown as a warrior who will soon be dueling with you."
With his request granted, Achilles slightly distanced himself, raised his fist, and assumed a fighting stance, which surprised Chiron.
After all, the martial arts represented by this move were taught to Achilles by him, and there were really not many people who were better than him in this martial arts.
"Pankrasin, aren't you afraid I'll use my Noble Phantasm?"
"In this field, even a teacher's bow cannot be used casually."
Achilles raised his fist and clashed with Chiron; perhaps this was a Pankrasian dueling ritual.
As a powerful technique from ancient Greece, Pankrasin is quite strong, not much weaker than Divine Fist, and the two are even on the same level.
"My name is Achilles, son of the hero Peleus."
“My name is Chiron, son of the great god Cronus.”
"Let's settle this fairly and squarely!" ×2
With a soft shout, their fists immediately separated, and after taking a slight step back, the two simultaneously stepped forward, each throwing a punch at the other's abdomen.
Without any regard for defense, the two men's expressions changed simultaneously after the punch landed, and the powerful force of the punch caused blood to begin to trickle from the corners of their mouths.
Chiron glanced at his fists, took a deep breath, stepped forward, and swung out his clenched fists one after the other.
Achilles raised his arm in front of him to counterattack, his fists clashing with both defense and counterattack, and for a time the two fought fiercely and evenly matched.
Achilles sidesteps a heavy punch, immediately followed by an uppercut that forces Chiron to retreat, before lightly leaping into the air.
He flipped his body in mid-air and launched a series of kicks with his excellent leg strength, while Chiron blocked with his arms in front of him, being forced to retreat continuously by the B-level muscle strength kicks.
Chiron sidestepped, swiftly reaching out with one hand to grab Achilles' ankle, and slammed him to the ground.
As dirt splattered, Achilles landed face-first, slamming his fists into the ground near his head. He then used the force to leap up and kick Chiron in the head.
Chiron, who was blocking with both hands, was knocked back a few steps by the force. The next moment, Achilles had already closed in and his pair of iron fists came crashing down.
The two men advanced and retreated, parrying and counterattacking. Compared to Chiron and Achilles, Chiron used his legs more, and the advantage of his legs was that they were stronger than his hands.
Chiron, having been kicked back, took a deep breath to adjust his rhythm and stepped forward to throw a punch that landed on Achilles' outstretched hands.
Having taken the blow head-on, Chiron involuntarily took a step back. Achilles then leaped slightly and delivered a powerful kick, striking Chiron squarely in the chin.
Chiron, struck hard, felt a sudden darkness before his eyes. Instinctively, he grabbed Achilles' ankle and flung him away with a sudden burst of strength.
Bang——! !
The tree was broken, and Achilles, his face contorted in obvious pain, slowly rose to his feet; his ankle had been crushed.
Fortunately, the [Unfading Flower of the Brave] was temporarily ineffective within the area, and the weakness did not exist for the time being; otherwise, he would not have been so bold as to attack with his foot.
"Teacher, my Pankrasin isn't weak either."
"As expected of the Swift Kick, that was truly incredible."
Chiron coughed up blood; Achilles' kick had broken his jaw, but luckily he dodged in time and wasn't hit in a more dangerous spot.
Achilles has some advantages over Chiron, namely that Achilles' speed is more terrifying, to the point that his speed can generate extremely strong explosive power.
Although Chiron could also manifest his centaur form to even out the speed difference, he decided not to use his centaur form in this rare duel.
Because they had exchanged several punches in the hand-to-hand combat, Achilles and Chiron both looked somewhat disheveled, with obvious marks on their faces.
Wiping his mouth, Chiron stomped his foot and charged towards Achilles...
PS: 1. This is the nineteenth update today.
Chapter 530, Section 541: The Final Scorpion Shot
Chapter 530: The Final Scorpion Shot
He was sent flying by a single punch. A teacher is a teacher after all; Chiron's Pankrasin was ultimately superior to Achilles.
Once the rhythm is controlled, Achilles has no chance to counterattack and can only put his arms in front of him and do his best to defend.
Chiron roared as he smashed away the arms blocking his face and swung his fist down hard on Achilles' face.
The brutal, bone-crushing attacks left Achilles momentarily dizzy. A single defensive lapse was followed by a relentless barrage of blows; Chiron's fist techniques were even more formidable than Achilles'.
With a powerful stomp, Achilles, relying on his superior leg strength, forcefully broke free from the battle, and then Chiron's foot landed on his chest.
The immense force of the impact sent Achilles flying backward, crashing heavily into a tree, snapping it in two, and then tumbling a distance.
With his face covered in blood, Achilles pushed himself up with his hands, took deep breaths to calm himself, and even his vision was shaky.
'The teacher's fist is really strong...'
As he pondered this in his heart, Achilles realized that his punches had been read, and his only advantage now was speed.
With one of the highest speeds among Servants, he can unleash even greater explosive power than Chiron, and this formidable leg strength is his only chance of victory.
Achilles slammed his feet into the ground and flew out like a cannonball, throwing a punch with a sonic boom behind him, his speed instantly soaring to its limit.
Chiron, with his arms crossed in front of his chest, took the punch head-on, and immediately turned to the side to deflect the force, then twisted his body and punched Achilles, forcing him back.
The muscles in Chiron's arm twitched as he pulled back with his left hand and threw a powerful hook with his right, which Achilles skillfully dodged.
With a swift turn and a whip kick, Achilles, having repelled Chiron, strode forward and delivered a straight punch toward Chiron's chest.
The astonishing speed brought forth a violent force, and Chiron, who was holding his arm in front of him, changed his expression; his arm was most likely broken.
With a sharp look in his eyes, Chiron, enduring the pain, clenched his left fist and swung it toward Achilles' face, only to be caught off guard by Achilles.
Dodging the direct attack by tilting his head, Achilles immediately reached out with his right hand and punched Chiron in the unsuspecting chest, but at the same time Achilles' expression changed.
Because of his broken left arm, Chiron didn't put any real force into his left-hand punch; it was just a feint.
With his right hand clenched tightly, Chiron would strike Achilles in the chest with the same blow, even as his chest was about to be pierced.
Time seemed to stand still, and the barrier created by Achilles disappeared, indicating that the two had already decided the victor.
Large splatter of blood fell, and Chiron coughed up a mouthful of blood, staggered back a few steps, and fell to the ground.
Achilles' blood-stained right hand trembled, and he immediately collapsed to his knees. The hole in his chest was no smaller than Chiron's.
Fortunately, he still has an A-rank combat continuation ability. Although he will still die if his spirit core is pierced, at least he can hold on for a longer period of time than Chiron.
"How cunning you are, teacher."
"Haha! You're still too naive, too innocent..."
Achilles struggled to his feet, but his body was still unsteady and he almost fell again, so he could only hold onto his spear to maintain his balance.
Seeing Chiron with his eyes closed and his body gradually dissipating, Achilles also coughed up blood.
"Thank you, teacher. My skills and strength are all thanks to you."
"..."
Chiron didn't speak, but looked at Achilles with a gentle, elder-like gaze. Achilles was one of his most prized disciples.
The two fought fiercely due to their differing stances, even resulting in their mutual destruction—a cruel twist of fate.
"I am proud to have taught you. Come and end my Holy Grail War, though even if you don't make a move, my Holy Grail War is already over."
