"Immortality... that really was an enviable ability." Shirou looked sourly at Achilles, who had emerged from the explosion completely unscathed.
But that was all there was to it. His parents were both human, not gods.
"You bastard, it's a good thing you're fighting me. Any other Servant would've had a hard time surviving that explosion." Achilles laughed loudly, making no effort to hide his killing intent.
