I don't want to be a heroic spirit

But that's impossible. Even if you use your Noble Phantasm, you can't break the opponent's skin...

Artoria didn't have time to explain clearly. After all, it wasn't just Achilles, Karna was also coming this way, and Mordred might not listen to her explanation. With her hot temper, she might not believe it and insist on giving it a try.

After all, Mordred, this naughty kid, should not weigh 99 kilograms out of 100 kilograms and be rebellious, but he should still have 90 kilograms of rebelliousness.

Unable to think of any good solution, Altria could only stare at Mordred seriously, emphasizing every word.

"Please, Mordred."

"..."

Mordred lowered his head, turned and ran in the direction that Altria had pointed before, leaving behind only a few words unwillingly.

"Don't give me orders!"

Watching Mordred dive into the woods and disappear, Artoria felt relieved.

"What a good boy, isn't he?"

A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but it was replaced by solemnity in an instant.

Because Karna came, and at the same time Achilles attacked him again.

Even without Atalanta's support, these two people are not simple.

Before, she had been worrying about how to deal with Karna's golden armor.

But now, she decided not to hesitate any longer.

"Now that Mordred is here, I should be more serious."

The golden light covering his entire body suddenly surged, briefly forcing Karna and Achilles back.

Altria raised her right hand with her fingers spread out.

His eyes gradually changed from emerald green to brilliant gold.

The supreme majesty that belongs only to the gods emanates from Altria's seemingly fragile body, making people unable to help but kneel down and worship her divine light.

Slowly, she opened her mouth, and a solemn voice seemed to come from the end, shaking everyone's heart.

"Holy Spear, pull out the anchor."

Chapter 204: Amakusa Shiro Tokisada Appears

The Ruler class Altria's Noble Phantasm is [Shine Brightly, My Hall of Glory], an A+ rank anti-army Noble Phantasm.

Its true form is a highly maneuverable hall called Ehangwen that can be used on land, on water, and in the air. After Artoria activates her Noble Phantasm, this vehicle will fire a huge beam of magic light at all enemies.

However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this bombardment was actually launched from the mounted Holy Spear Longomyniad, so the Ruler Artoria was actually using the same Noble Phantasm as her Lancer class. However, Artoria remained silent on this issue and did not mention it a word.

So, theoretically speaking, Altria Ruler can disassemble the Holy Lance and use it directly.

And now she does the same.

Holy Lance - Longomyniad.

The storm anchor that locks the stars, the tower at the end that connects the inside and the outside.

Although it was not a complete liberation, a corner of the shining starlight also bloomed with dazzling brilliance at this moment.

At this moment, the whole world turned into pure gold, and all the sounds and brilliance were ruthlessly stripped away by the gold.

The spear of light stretches from this side of the earth to the other side of the sky.

Karna disappeared because Artoria had aimed the attack at him.

Even the Holy Lance probably couldn't kill Karna after breaking through the golden armor, but Artoria was sure that if Karna took the blow head-on, he would definitely not feel good.

At least the opponent can't return to the battlefield for the time being.

Achilles dodged the attack, he was too fast and Artoria had no chance of hitting him.

But it doesn't matter. Now that Karna can't come back for the time being, Achilles is alone, and he is in poor condition. Artoria is fully confident that she can deal with it.

"Hehe, my current situation... doesn't seem very good?"

On the ground, Achilles knelt on one knee and forced an ugly smile.

In front of him, Altria landed lightly, her golden eyes filled with great oppression.

"This is really bad... I feel like I might die here. Seriously, I'm not going to be the first Servant to leave this Holy Grail War, am I?"

Although he spoke in self-deprecating words, there was not a trace of fear on Achilles' face as he stared straight at Artoria.

With Achilles' speed, if he really wanted to run, he would probably be able to escape.

He would never do that, and he wouldn't even have such a shameful thought.

He chose his future at a very young age.

As a brave hero, he gallops across the battlefield, but his life will be as short as a shooting star.

Live an ordinary life that is not very exciting, but the good thing is that you can live until the end of your life.

After hearing these two choices, young Achilles chose the former without hesitation, which led to the creation of a great hero in Greek mythology second only to Hercules.

Achilles never feared death; he preferred to die with honor rather than live a mediocre life.

The steel gun was stuck in the ground, and Achilles slowly stood up with a wild and unruly smile on his face.

Then he pulled the steel spear out of the ground and took a step towards Artoria.

At this moment, Artoria shifted her attention away from Achilles and looked to the side as if sensing something, while Achilles also looked in that direction.

"What? Can't you sit still?" said Altria.

"Yeah... After all, Rider and Lancer are our main force here. If they were killed here, it would be troublesome."

The white-haired priest who suddenly appeared here, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, bowed to Altria and said with a faint smile: "Nice to meet you, Ruler. I am one of the Masters of the Red Team in this Holy Grail War, the Master of Assassin - Kotomine Shirou."

"What are you doing here, dark-skinned priest?" Achilles seemed unhappy with the appearance of Amakusa Shiro Tokisada. "Are you trying to interrupt the fight between Ruler and me?"

"Rider, you should know that you have already lost."

"So what? I'm not so afraid to admit defeat! Although fighting alongside Lancer was unpleasant, I still lost, so I have nothing to say." Achilles frowned and shouted, "Battle is fair and cruel. If I win, I will kill my opponent without hesitation. Similarly, since I lose, I will not live in disgrace!"

"My life is like a shooting star! Short but incredibly bright! To defeat and ravage all enemies, and then die on the battlefield, this is my destiny! In this battle where my life is at stake, begging for mercy is the greatest insult to this honor!"

"I don't care who you are! Even if my Master comes, if he dares to beg for mercy on my behalf, I will kill him first!"

Achilles meant all his words.

That's why Amakusa Shiro Tokisada found it difficult.

If possible, he certainly didn't want to lose Achilles as a fighting force.

Currently, the Red Team's main combat forces are Lancer Karna and Rider Achilles. If possible, he does not want to lose either of them.

The red team just lost a Berserker, Spartacus, who went crazy and was controlled by the black team. I believe that next time they meet, Spartacus will become one of the black team's combat forces.

If Spartacus was lost, it would be fine, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada would just sigh, but if Achilles was lost, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada would really feel heartbroken.

In particular, Achilles' defensive treasure, [The Hero's Everlasting Flower], can invalidate the attacks of all enemies without divinity. As far as Amakusa Shiro Tokisada knows, Archer seems to be the only servant on the black side who possesses divinity. In other words, as long as Achilles does not encounter Archer, it can be said that he can crush anyone on the black side.

However, things happen unexpectedly. Amakusa Shiro Tokisada could never have imagined that there would be two Rulers in this Holy Grail War, and one of them was even a god.

Not only was Achilles' immortality ineffective against her, but the opponent's fighting power was also superior to Achilles'. Even if Achilles and Karna joined forces, they could not defeat the opponent.

Oh God...is this also a test you have sent me?

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada frowned and looked away.

"What? Do you want me to help change that kid's mind?" As the light particles gathered, Atalanta revealed herself. From her tone, it was clear that she had no good feelings towards the white-haired priest. "Then you are doomed to be disappointed. That fast-footed kid is notoriously stubborn, especially on the battlefield. Once he makes a choice, not even Calydon's wild boar can pull him back."

Chapter 205: Rules of the Holy Grail War

Atalanta, also affectionately called Tamao by netizens, is a famous female archer in Greek mythology.

He is famous for shooting the first arrow to strike back the Calydonian boar.

In addition, she joined the Argonauts, which brought together many Greek heroes, completed many adventures, and obtained the legendary Golden Fleece for the gods.

In addition to Atalanta, the Argonauts also included many other heroes such as Hercules, Jason, Asclepius, Medea, and even Achilles' father was on that ship.

I would like to mention here that Achilles' father Peleus once pursued Atalanta, but Atalanta served the pure virgin goddess Artemis, so she had no intention of getting married.

Later, Atalanta could not stand the repeated harassment, so she declared that "she would only marry someone who could beat her in a race." Peleus also participated in the race, but he failed without a doubt.

However, Peleus did not forget Atalanta. Even after he married Achilles' mother and had Achilles, Peleus still could not forget Atalanta. When Achilles was a child, he often listened to his father telling stories about Atalanta.

After being summoned as a Rider, Achilles was surprised to find that Atalanta, who was often mentioned by his father, had also been summoned, and was his teammate.

Achilles called her "big sister" so affectionately because he often heard her stories when he was young. However, Atalanta did not know Achilles. Although she was slightly surprised after hearing that he was the son of Peleus and felt the magic of fate, she did not have any other feelings.

Although they didn't spend much time together, Atalanta still had a general understanding of Achilles' character. After all, she had seen too much of this so-called heroism in that era.

However, even among those heroes praised by the world, few can carry out this bravery as thoroughly as Achilles.

"Besides, even if I can persuade that kid...why do you think I would help you and not support him, Father?"

Atalanta's attitude towards Amakusa Shiro Tokisada was not very good.

After living in the forest for many years, Atalanta had developed an intuition as sharp as that of a wild beast.

When facing Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, Atalanta could always sense danger from the other party.

It wasn't the danger in terms of strength, but something deeper that made her feel deeply fearful.

Just like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark is much more dangerous than a wild boar with its fangs exposed.

After Atalanta appeared, Artoria began to look for Mordred.

After all, she had previously asked Mordred to deal with the archer in the dark, Atalanta. Now that Atalanta has appeared, it is inevitable that Mordred will show up.

Suddenly, Atalanta's expression changed and she ran a distance away in an instant. The next moment, a fierce red lightning fell on her previous position.

"Just like a hound that bites its prey and won't let go."

"You're jumping here and there. Are you a monkey? You can jump so well!"

Furious because he couldn't hit anyone, Mordred raised his sword high and roared, "Fight me head-on if you dare! I'll make sure you never get up again!"

"Idiot! What kind of archer would be so foolish as to fight someone in close combat?"

Atalanta only felt deep disdain for Mordred's words.

Just as Mordred was about to attack again, Artoria spoke.

"Mordred, come back first."

"what?"

Mordred looked at Artoria through his helmet. Although he was unhappy, he still obediently returned to Artoria's side.

"Kotomine Shirou...right?"

Altria stared at Amakusa Shirou Tokisada.

"I've said before, I have no intention of fighting with you. As Ruler, my duty is to uphold the rules of this Holy Grail War. Everything else has nothing to do with me."

Then, Altria's next sentence shocked everyone present.

"Although you were the Ruler of the last Holy Grail War, since you are the Master chosen by the Holy Grail, I have no reason to impose sanctions on you."

Everyone: "!!!"

Ruler from the last Holy Grail War?!

At this moment, everyone cast their horrified gazes at Amakusa Shiro Tokisada.

They did not doubt that what Altria said was nonsense, because she was a Ruler and had the ability to see the true names of servants.

Even Amakusa Shiro Tokisada himself was stunned in shock.

Of course, he wasn't shocked by his identity being revealed, but...

"You... don't think that my participation in this Holy Grail War as Ruler is cheating?"

"If you participated by stealing someone else's Master status, I would still think you were cheating, but since you were chosen by the Holy Grail to become a Master, then it complies with the rules."

Upon hearing this, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada gave a wry smile.

What does this mean...
