Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

The chains, having lost their master's control, finally arrived and fell around Achilles, making a continuous sound.

The enemy disappeared, but Achilles' spirit did not relax. His expression was no longer as arrogant as before. He observed everything around him with great seriousness, alert to all possible directions of attack.

until……

whoosh-

The sound of an object cutting through the air at high speed reached Achilles' ears, and the source of the sound was right above his head!

Achilles retreated quickly, and just as his body moved away from its original position, an object that he was very familiar with passed by his eyes and nose and plunged into the ground below.

Boom!

The earth trembled once again, and the already dense cracks expanded rapidly, seemingly on the verge of collapse.

A fierce gale quickly swept across the entire area, blowing away all the smoke and dust. Even the surrounding trees were uprooted and sent high into the sky by the storm.

The two servants present were all blinded by the fierce wind. While they raised their hands to block the storm, they were also trying to see the scenery in the eye of the storm.

At the edge of the storm, Atalanta pressed her legs firmly into the ground to resist the terrifying wind.

But Achilles, who was in the storm, was not so lucky. The red ribbons were messy in the wind, and simply covering his eyes with his arms was not enough to protect him.

There was no doubt that this sudden storm came from the enemy.

A ray of golden light flickered in the center of the storm. Atalanta, who was on the outside, could not see the scenery at all, and Achilles, who was in the middle, could not even open his eyes.

But the dazzling golden light shining through his eyelids still made him quickly realize that the enemy had returned here again.

This is not good. In this state, let alone fighting, it is difficult to even see the enemy clearly.

Just as Achilles realized that the enemy had returned, a powerful impact instantly struck his abdomen.

pound! ! !

A dull sound suddenly came from his body, and the extremely heavy impact on his abdomen made Achilles feel nauseous for a moment.

"Gu..."

The saliva was instantly carried into the sky by the strong wind, and Achilles' body was also blown away from the storm.

It smashed all obstacles along the way, and after the former flew out of the wind wall, a petite blue-purple figure followed closely behind.

Achilles, who had left the eye of the storm, was finally able to see everything clearly, as well as Shuul who was following closely behind. Without thinking, he was flying backwards and stabbed the spear in his hand that he had already recalled at the latter who was rushing towards him.

Facing the oncoming spear, Xuer quickly stabbed out the "brand new" weapon in his hand in the same way.

Then, in Achilles's astonished expression.

A spear that was exactly the same as the Meteor Spear in his hand, but more gorgeous and inlaid with golden patterns, appeared before him.

……

Chapter 54: Pseudo-Scripture

—【Pseudo-Code】—【Spear Tip Galloping Across the Sky】—

That was a reproduction of Achilles' Noble Phantasm that was fully analyzed during this half-hour battle.

Although some of the abilities in the intelligence have not yet been used on him, it is enough for Shuul to build a basic "model" for it.

Combining Ex-Machina technology and magic (to restore the effects in the intelligence), it belongs to Shuul's [Spear of the Galloping Sky Star].

Just as he always did.

Two identical spears, one gold and one silver, collided with each other.

Because the scene before him was beyond Achilles' expectations, he lost his proper judgment of the situation during this period.

And Xuel naturally seized this opportunity. He controlled the spear in his hand and quickly avoided the tip of the spear in front of him, allowing it to bypass Achilles' defense and hit the latter's chest.

By this time, the latter, who had just come to his senses, had already lost the best time to counterattack.

Boom! ! !

A huge impact was instilled into Achilles' right shoulder by the tip of the spear.

The sudden burst of force made his right hand numb, and the five fingers that were originally tightly gripping the gun barrel also quickly loosened from the gun body due to the paralysis of the impact.

Achilles naturally felt that the weapon had slipped out of his right hand, but when he wanted to hold on tight, his right arm was unable to follow the instructions of his brain, and he could only rely on his left hand to prevent the weapon from slipping out of his hand again.

But this also means that he will no longer be able to resist the enemy's attacks within a few breaths.

His body was instantly smashed into the ground by Xuer's blow, and the force originally directed backwards was instantly covered by the force directed towards the ground.

Achilles' body sank into the ground, tightly "embedded" in the soil.

However, facing the situation of being stepped on by the enemy, Achilles' face still retained the "doubt" that had been on his face since he saw the weapon in Shuul's hand.

His eyes were fixed on the golden and silver spear that was pressing against his right shoulder. Confusion, astonishment and other mixed emotions were in Achilles' eyes.

Xuer naturally saw the confusion of the person under his feet, but he was not prepared to answer. After all, for so long, the act of "copying" the opponent's weapon in front of the opponent would definitely make the opponent feel confused.

If you meet someone with a bad temper, they may even skip the "doubt" stage and attack you violently.

Well, I'm talking about a certain rebellious knight.

"How is it possible...the weapon in your hand is...?"

It’s no wonder that Achilles was so surprised. If it was just the same style, he wouldn’t have lost his composure so much.

The main reason is that the more gorgeous meteor spear in Shul's hand possesses the magic power unique to a "treasure".

And that magic power was exactly the same as the original meteor gun in his hand.

It was as if Achilles originally had two of these "Noble Phantasms".

It's not that there are no magic tricks that can create "fakes" in the magic world. If it weren't for the fact that the meteor gun in Shul's hand not only looks different, but also has some differences in power.

Achilles almost didn't notice the difference between the two spears in his hands and the enemy's.

Now the truth is out. This person, who has nothing to do with the Holy Grail War, is probably actively engaging in battle with Servants like him for exactly this reason.

Is this magic that can "copy" a Noble Phantasm? How terrifying.

But why use it now? It’s used after he uses the [Chariot].

You can't possibly "copy" my [Chariot] too, right?!

Of course, Shuul was not aware of Achilles' thoughts. He could indeed judge the other person's mental activities through his facial expressions and body movements.

But he doesn't have the ability to read minds.

Well, there is indeed such magic in the [Magic Encyclopedia] I obtained in the last world.

But Xuer really doesn't care what others think.

Without giving the other party more time to think, Xuel retracted the spear that was on the other party's shoulder, and at the same time raised his foot, and with the help of the leg armor, he stepped down on Achilles' head with a golden light.

The latter immediately regained his composure and naturally reacted quickly, but because his body was stuck in the ground just now, he had no time to pull his body out of the rock and soil helmet, and could only watch the other party's feet fall on his face.

Click...

A heavy blow fell on Achilles' head and sank into the ground beneath him.

The ground, which had already been shattered by the previous impact, finally sank and collapsed rapidly at this moment. In the blink of an eye, an extremely spectacular sinkhole a hundred meters deep was formed below the two people.

But it wasn't enough to just crush the earth. Xuel wasn't going to let the man under his feet go.

As the two men fell into the deep pit, Xuel suddenly leaned over and reached out to grab the red ribbon wrapped around Achilles' breastplate.

He pulled with his small hands, fitting the breastplate of the man under his feet more tightly against his own leg armor.

Without breaking that weakness and destroying Achilles' [Invincible Golden Body], any attack would be in vain.

Xuer was naturally very clear about this, but now was not the time to deal with the other party because he had not yet collected the last bit of information.

"Data collection progress:..."

"Basic... 100%."

"Noble Phantasm...89.1%"

According to the information in the Whispering Chapter, Achilles still has one last Noble Phantasm to use, and the next step is to force out the Noble Phantasm that has been hidden until now.

This time, Shuul no longer avoided Achilles' weakness and poured all his firepower on Achilles' heel.

—【Opening】—……

In Achilles' eyes, the round "hairpin" that was originally glowing faintly on the side of Shul's head suddenly lit up with a faint light.

A colorful circle instantly "projected" from the "hairpin" onto Xuer's head.

The gold and silver gun body began to light up with countless patterns similar to those on Shur's body.

Randomly, the gun head suddenly "cracked" slightly in the middle. Amidst the sound of machines, the gun head quickly split into two. In the middle of the gun head, a tiny black hole appeared, and a dazzling light condensed in it.

In Achilles' surprised expression, Shuul pulled it away from the former's shoulder and aimed it at the former's feet.

An incomparable amount of magic power "leaked" around Xuer, and the dazzling golden light instantly dispelled the darkness in the giant pit.

—【Pseudo-Code】—【Fantasy Greatsword: The Fall of the Demonic Sword】

A golden beam of light burst out from the pit, shooting straight into the sky, and "piercing" through the layers of dark clouds in the sky.

……

In the huge torrent of magic power.

Achilles felt his entire body being washed over by golden "waves," his limbs losing sensation, and his armor rapidly deforming, charring, and finally shattering.

The cloth armor under the armor was quickly torn apart by this "wash", revealing the strong flesh underneath. The unprotected flesh also quickly became charred and corroded when it came into contact with the golden energy.

As the center of the attack, Achilles' feet completely lost their sensation at this moment, with only intense pain coming from his calves.

He began to get injured, and most of the armor on his body quickly collapsed under this attack. This meant that his [Invincible Golden Body] that could withstand all attacks had been broken by Xuel at this moment.

Xuer's attack came extremely quickly and was far beyond common sense. There was no pre-swing, and even Achilles was unable to react. The massive amount of magic power that erupted in that instant was comparable to the full release of an A-level treasure.

Fortunately, although he still failed to block the bombardment that was like an A-level treasure that fell on him at that moment, Achilles still used the ability that was enough to save his life before the situation was irreversible.

Achilles quickly raised his arms, and green magic power quickly condensed and increased dramatically at the place where his hands were crossed.

The armor on his hands had collapsed long before he raised his hands, and his unprotected flesh was quickly charred against the torrent of energy.

But Achilles ignored the severe pain in his hands, and resolutely stretched out his arms, gathering all his strength.

"[A Small World Surrounding the Sky/Achilles Cosmos]!"

As he shouted out the true name of the treasure, surging green magic power quickly condensed in his hands, and a silver shield large enough to cover his entire body appeared in front of him in an instant.

And at this time.

Shuul, who was originally about to be crushed to death by Achilles, was also completely pressed against the shield the moment the shield appeared.

The red ribbon that he had been holding tightly in his hand had already turned into ashes in the torrent of energy. Having lost his fixed position, Xuer naturally lost his balance for a moment when the angle suddenly rose.

However, Achilles failed to seize this opportunity. Under Shuul's attack, he had already devoted himself to the defense of his Noble Phantasm shield.

In addition, the overwhelming golden light blocked his vision, so he naturally could not see Xuul behind the shield and his not-so-obvious movements.

A silver shield stood in front of him, blocking all the golden energy.

At this time, the two had already fallen into the deepest part of the pit.

Under Xuul's bombardment, the original 100-meter-high pit has been "flushed" by energy, forming a 1,000-meter-deep cavity.

Before falling into the golden slurry pool at the bottom of the deep pit, Xuel stomped on the shield under his feet and moved his body away from Achilles.

Then, two sounds of falling into water, one heavy and one light, were heard at the bottom of the deep pit.

"Ha ha……"

Supporting himself with the shield in front of him, Achilles stood up from the water that was up to his knees.

"call……"

He held the shield in one hand and grabbed the armor on his body, which had not yet completely collapsed but was completely deformed, with the other hand, stripped it off his body, and threw it into the pulp pool beside him.

Deformed and damaged armor not only fails to provide defense, but also becomes a burden, so it is better to throw it away directly.

poof...

A large piece of deformed armor fell into the pool of slurry, splashing a golden "splash".

"So, this is your true full strength now, right?"
