Are Archers All Melee Fighters?

Heroic spirits are the reincarnations of heroes in human history after their deaths; in other words, those who become heroic spirits are all dead.

It sounds like someone is swearing.

That being said, heroic spirits are not necessarily good people; they can also be despicable.

I'm talking to you, Merlin!

——Divider——

Bronya held her breath and carefully hid in a corner to avoid being discovered by the enemy.

Half an hour ago, she and Kiana were ambushed by the enemy on their way to the Fire Moth Base One. The attackers were extremely powerful. Kiana took the initiative to lure the enemy away, buying her and Mei time to escape. Although she and Mei disagreed with Kiana's actions, the Kiana was too fast.

Now, she and Mei have also gotten separated. To make matters worse, she ran into one of the enemies she had encountered before. Heavy-Duty Rabbit 19C was destroyed by the enemy while protecting her and is still on cooldown.

As long as Bronya is still around, Heavy Cannon Rabbit can reappear.

The problem is, her life is in danger now.

The dark-skinned, white-haired, golden-eyed man sat leisurely on the roof of the teaching building, looking down at the area, searching for the escaped little rabbit.

Bronya slammed her fist on the wall and muttered, "Damn it, why is she so good at fighting? She's supposed to be an archer, but she loves melee combat so much."

Embarrassingly, the three of them were almost wiped out by two lolis who looked about the same age as Xing. The dark-skinned loli initially shot at them from a distance with a bow and arrow, but later took out a pair of black and white double blades and started melee combat.

I suddenly understand why Sachi chose the bow and arrow...

The dark-skinned little girl searched impatiently, when suddenly her eyes lit up and she jumped off the roof.

A streak of golden light flashed into her field of vision.

I was really annoyed. The car was running perfectly fine, and then it just suddenly stalled.

Jilin's translucent spirit floated out of the chariot, which then transformed back into Leg Ring. She covered her forehead and said groggily, "I'm sorry, I'm not used to maintaining this mode for a long time. Please let me go back and rest for a bit. I'll be fine in a little while." After saying that, she returned to the Stigmata Space.

So the two little ones were forced to walk. Fortunately, they opened the map in the Guidance Module and activated the Honkai Vision to search for their teammates. "Strange, weren't Kiana and the other two together before? Why are they separated now? Could they have encountered enemies?"

Just as he was thinking, a sense of crisis surged into his mind. He instinctively turned around and hugged Wendy. The next second, several arrows pierced his back.

"Brother Xing!" Wendy panicked. If Xing hadn't shielded her in front of her, she would be the one who got hit by the arrow!

The dark-skinned loli not far away scratched her head and said in distress, "Ugh, I was a step too slow, it got blocked."

Wendy was heartbroken. She cried as she pulled the arrow from Xing's back, glaring fiercely at the dark-skinned little girl. "You dare hurt my Brother Xing? You're dead!"

A blue hurricane gathered around Wendy.

Oh, Kuro, if you don't know it, please check out the anime * Magical Girl Illya*. The plot is super sweet. Ahem, I'm really not lying this time, probably.

Xing quickly stopped Qingtuan, who was about to transform, and said, "Wendy, get ready, it's time for that."

Wendy, flustered and captivated by the unexpected head pat, asked, "Hey, which one is that?"

"That's it! It's a fusion! Using your 4-star self to adjust my 4-star self!"

A powerful wind rose around the two of them, and Wendy's body, along with the lush green wind, transformed into four green halos. She leaped into the air, placing herself within the halos.

4★ + 4★ = 8★

"Unfettered winds of freedom, show me your beautiful wings, fly to the vast sky! Synchro Summon! Soar, Level 8, Gale Caller!"

(Wendy: After so many chapters, I finally have a normal card!)

Her heterochromatic eyes, green and red, sparkled. Her bare feet trod on the rising air currents, and two long ribbons fell from her shorts, making her look incredibly free and unrestrained in her crop top.

Xing glanced at her current appearance and almost severed her connection with Wendy on the spot. "Come on, Wendy, explain to me why there's so little fabric on your clothes. Even when you combine with Bronya's armor, at least she has shoes. You're just wearing a cloth cover and shorts, nothing at all!!" (Referencing Wendy from Honkai Impact 2)

There are also shawls and hand warmers~

Wendy replied weakly, "Brother Xing, I don't know what happened..." What should she do? Would Xing think she was that kind of promiscuous girl?

Even so, this was the only way Xing could fight at this point. To be fair, the coolness of this outfit was comparable to that of the black guy opposite her.

The flowing air condensed into Wings of the Sky in his hands, and as he drew the bowstring, a verdant arrow materialized.

Xiao Hei became interested and took out his bow. "Want to have an archery contest? Come on!"

Fortunately, the bowstring was released, Gale Arrow, creating a huge gust of air that carried away debris from nearby buildings, obscuring Xiao Hei's vision. "Don't even think about escaping~"

With their vision obstructed, archers are at a disadvantage, but this is not a problem for melee archers.

"Projection, begin!" The power inherited from the Emiya manifested, and the Gan Jiang Mo Ye Xie appeared in her hands. The next second, a verdant blade sliced through the air and slashed towards her.

Fortunately, he transformed the Bow of the Sky into the Blade of the Sky (a one-handed sword) and clashed it with the little black weapon.

Seeing this, Bronya, who was watching from a distance, couldn't help but complain, "Are all archers melee fighters?"

"The wind is formless and intangible; it is wrong to forcibly impose constraints on it." These were the words spoken lightly by Xing.

Kuro excitedly wielded her black and white twin blades, which gave her a significant advantage over Sachi, who only had a small sword, especially since Sachi's combat experience was clearly inferior to Kuro's.

Yes, Xing's biggest problem right now is his lack of combat experience. Although he possesses Fu Hua's 50,000 years of memories, it's too early for him to fully digest them. Therefore, although his physical potential is very high, he cannot unleash his full power.

However, this thing has so many weird and wonderful cheats!

His heterochromatic eyes gleamed, and he ignored Xiao Hei's attack, thrusting his sword forward with one hand. Xiao Hei, seeing this, couldn't help but sneer inwardly, "Fool, before your sword reaches me, my blade will chop off your head!"

A cold glint flashed from the black and white blades as they slashed towards the boy's neck, a few drops of blood falling to the ground.

Xiao Hei stared in astonishment. Gan Jiang Mo Ye's blades were less than a centimeter away from Xing's neck, but they couldn't go any further, as if they had struck something invisible.

She looked down in disbelief as the golden hilt with the jade tip pierced her chest. The once small Blade of the Sky had somehow transformed into the long spear Spine of the Sky.

Fortunately, he withdrew his spear and said slowly, "I already said that the wind is formless and intangible; don't force it into a fixed shape."

He removed the air barrier he had placed on his body, the green gust of wind dissipated, and Wendy separated from him. The two turned and left, leaving behind the little black creature whose spirit core had been pierced, collapsing helplessly, its eyes filled with resentment. She hadn't even used her Noble Phantasm yet, you bastard!

"Ilya, avenge me!" After saying this, her body disintegrated, and she vanished completely.

He suddenly turned around. She just mentioned Illya? Could it be that Illya? Oh dear, he certainly didn't want to have any heart-to-heart talks with that Magical Girl. (In a physical sense)

Miyu didn't come along, right? Then she'll have stirred up a den of lolis.

Fortunately, there weren't any exceptional Servants. If it were a powerful Servant like Arjuna or Ramses II, he probably would have just given up and given up.

"What's wrong, Brother Xing? Didn't we already win?" Wendy noticed his worry. Although they had just killed a little girl together, the girl didn't seem like a normal human being, and she was clearly the same kind of being as the old man who attacked her earlier, so she didn't feel guilty.

"It's okay, let's go." Xing shook his head, and was about to look at the map to find the next teammate when the terminal in his pocket rang. He took out the terminal and answered the phone, "Hello, this is Xing."

Bronya's anxious voice rang out. "Luckily, get Wendy out of there quickly! Hurry!"

Before he could react, a childish yet murderous voice rang out above him. "Unforgivable! How dare you kill Xiao Hei! I will never forgive you!"

The Magical Girl Illya, dressed in pink, angrily gripped her ruby wand, surging with magical power.

P. S.: The little black guy who was just killed was her sister. (That's what she believes.)

The muscular, nervous, vascular, and lymphatic systems—all the physiological tissues of the human body—were transformed into magical circuits under the body of the heroic spirit.

Despite the excruciating pain, Illya gritted her teeth and unleashed her Noble Phantasm, "This is all I have...! 'Quintet Feuer'!"

A powerful magic cannon shot out from the magic wand, striking Sachi like lightning. A huge mushroom cloud rose as it hit the ground, and after it dissipated, a deep crater appeared where Sachi had been standing.

"Huff, huff, huff..." Ilya gasped for breath. Although she didn't have to worry about mana consumption, unleashing her Noble Phantasm was still a significant burden. That guy who killed Kuro, she should have taken him down by now, right?

Most people would probably give up if they were hit in the face by a beam of light, but this guy is the main character. If I kill him off, how am I supposed to move the plot forward? (Luck: I can do it!)

With his two pink fox ears drooping down, Speed-type Sachi put Wendy down and looked at the huge crater that Ilya had blasted out with lingering fear. If Bronya hadn't warned him in advance, he probably wouldn't have been able to dodge it even if he switched to Speed-type.

"Thanks, Bronya, are you ready?" He followed the guidance of the Honkai Vision and came to Silver Wolf's side.

"Bring it on!"

The two intertwined their fingers, and a vortex of black and gold rose beneath their feet.

"Take me!"

"Me too!"

"Stack them!"

"A burning heart will awaken a cold body. Plan your future with reason! Xyz Summon! Appear, Rank 4, Otherworld Hacker!"

Under the cover of night, the hacker rode the Heavy Cannon Rabbit whose refresh time had ended and headed towards Ilya in the distance. Wendy, left behind, looked resentful. Why didn't they continue using her?

Ilya, who was floating in the air, noticed the hacker approaching her, waved her magic wand, and fired several magic bullets at the hacker.

Fortunately, he drove the motorcycle steadily, dodging all of Ilya's magic bullets with agile maneuvers. Then he floored the accelerator, and sparks flew from the chassis of the Heavy Cannon Rabbit, sending it soaring into the sky.

A row of Floating Cannon emerged from both sides of the motorcycle and launched an attack on Ilya. The technological lasers and the magical bullets collided fiercely in the air. As ranged units, the two distanced themselves and began to fight each other from a distance.

Phew, finally a proper mage! Wait a minute, contestant Xing rushed forward on his own initiative. What is he planning to do?

"Bronya, put all your energy into the Defense Field. I'm going to show her the terror of a melee mage!"

Ya Ya complained, "Luckily, we believe in science, not magicians."

Um, this Ilya seems to be a melee mage too... Never mind that!

The Floating Cannon changed direction and became propulsion engines to accelerate the vehicle.

The Defense Field was activated, but it quickly developed cracks under Ilya's intense firepower. According to Bronya's calculations, given the current energy replenishment and the enemy's firepower level, it could only reach within three meters of Ilya at most.

"That's enough!"

Red Feathers emerged from Xing's body, forming a pair of Abnormal Twin Guns. Xing drove with one hand and held a Mortal Tribulation Difficult to Cross in the other, aiming it at Ilya and pulling the trigger.

Ilya didn't care about that. The Ruby was the highest-grade Mystic Code, so it wasn't a problem to withstand a little attack. But the problem was that the bullets Mortal Tribulation Difficult to Cross, not only physically but also mentally.

The bullet pierced the ruby barrier and struck Ilya in the forehead, instantly freezing her expression.

"Now! Bronya, full power, ram her!"

"Where's the melee mage we were promised?!"

"I don't know any magic, so what kind of mage am I!"

Amidst their bickering, the Heavy Cannon Rabbit went full throttle and rammed into Ilya, unleashing a close-range cannon shot that shattered the magic barrier and sent her flying.

"Ugh, you guys are so mean..." Ilya thought as she regained consciousness on her deathbed.

Bullying a little girl, that's mean!

Author's Note—

Fortunately, he managed to figure out how to use his cheat codes, but poor Black and Illya were forced to die in the plot. (Sad)

Furthermore, You Hui hasn't played FGO in a long time, so he doesn't remember much about the Servants' personalities.
