At such a distance, it was absolutely impossible for him to miss; his bow and arrow had an extremely long effective range.

At such a distance, not to mention being able to aim slowly, even if you fire hastily, you have a high chance of hitting the target.

Whoosh!

The arrow leaves the bowstring.

Silently gliding into the distance across the night sky, it was like a guided missile, heading straight for its target without deviating from its course.

The children also became nervous...

Ishtar finally took control of Rin Tohsaka's body during the night.

She and Rin Tohsaka had been arguing all day, but now Rin Tohsaka seemed tired and stopped arguing with her.

She finally seized the opportunity and went out, walking alone on the streets of Fuyuki City.

This place is different from the era she lived in, and the various modern facilities piqued her curiosity.

The moon is high in the sky tonight, a rare good night, but there are very few pedestrians on the streets.

She strolled leisurely down the street, her eyes occasionally scanning the surroundings, searching for anything that interested her.

Suddenly, Ishtar sensed something was wrong, like an antelope being watched by a cheetah; her body froze, and she stopped in her tracks.

"Where?"

Ishtar quickly looked around, searching for the direction of that gaze.

Heaven!

She finally found the source of this feeling.

But at that moment, the arrow was already very close to her, and at such a high speed, she had little time to dodge.

"Hmph! You think you can hurt me with that? You underestimate me."

She didn't panic; being unable to dodge didn't mean she couldn't defend herself.

He quickly threw several gems in the direction of the arrow; this was Rin Tohsaka's Jewel Magecraft.

Possession summoning is very magical; Rin Tohsaka can borrow her power, and of course, she can also use Rin Tohsaka's Magecraft.

The Jewel Magecraft collided with the flying arrow, causing a small explosion in mid-air.

Boom!

The aftershocks of the explosion blew her hair back, but she stood firm and was unharmed.

Ishtar was furious. She was just taking a walk when she was attacked out of nowhere, and her mood immediately soured.

"I'll see who dares to ambush me!"

With a leap, her light body flew into the air, and before she could fall, a huge bow appeared beneath her feet.

Maana.

Is it there?

Ishtar found the direction from which the arrow had come and flew swiftly towards Arash and the children.

She was going to teach the person who attacked her a lesson.

Let him know that the majesty of the Venus Goddess is not something anyone can challenge at will.

"She's here!"

Arash quickly put away his bow and arrows and spoke very rapidly.

"Then let's quickly find a secluded place; we can't stay here."

The children were very excited; it was finally coming.

Their Servant, each carrying their companions, swiftly evacuated the tall building and retreated towards the distant mountains.

The children had barely left when Ishtar arrived on the roof.

She looked around and found signs of human activity in the area.

"Have they already escaped?"

Ishtar muttered to herself, "Not so easy. Just wait and see if I don't find you!"

She quickly discovered the direction the children had retreated in and immediately gave chase.

When she chased him to the foot of the mountain, she finally found the culprit who had ambushed her.

"It wasn't just one person."

Ishtar looked around and found the children waiting for her patiently.

"Don't think that just because you have more people, you can beat me."

She remained completely unfazed by any sense of crisis, displaying immense confidence in her own abilities.

As a goddess, no matter how many mortals there are, they are not worth mentioning in her eyes.

She finally fixed her gaze on Arash, who was smiling.

Arash, who was standing there with a bow and arrow in her hand, was clearly the one who had ambushed her earlier.

Ishtar glared at him. "You were the one who ambushed me just now."

"Oh dear, I had no choice."

Arash was very polite; even though Ishtar kept glaring at him, he still greeted her with a smile and showed no anger.

"Yes! We're the ones who called you here!"

The children were not going to give Ishtar a friendly look; they stood up and made their intentions clear.

"You must come out of Sakura's sister's body today!"

"Yes! Otherwise, we won't be polite!"

"When we get angry, we're even afraid of ourselves!"

Chapter 42, Section 263: That's all money! Bastard!

"Ha?"

Ishtar was dumbfounded. What were these children saying?

She was a little confused for a moment, but she also realized that these children knew Rin Tohsaka.

Sure enough, Rin Tohsaka, who had been silent all along, suddenly appeared.

She said sternly, "Stop fooling around and go home right now!"

"No way, we're just trying to help you."

The children resolutely refused Rin Tohsaka. They had gone to great lengths to sneak out and lure Ishtar here; how could they just leave like this?

Rin Tohsaka's forehead veins bulged; she had no way to deal with the children and hastily said something.

"Don't hurt them."

Then he relinquished control of his body to Ishtar and retreated back into his own body.

Ishtar laughed.

"Since we're acquaintances, I'll have to teach you a lesson on behalf of your elders."

She clenched her fists, her knuckles cracking, and the smile on her face looked somewhat frightening.

The children stepped back and hid behind the Servant.

"Go and catch her right now!"

With Rin Tohsaka warning her, Ishtar naturally wouldn't target children, but she had no qualms about Servant.

With a light push of her feet, Maana fired several arrows, each aimed at Servant.

Arash, in particular, was targeted by her, and she fired the most shots at him.

Ishtar still remembered the man who attacked her; she shouldn't think that a few smiles would make her let bygones be bygones.

Arash dodged left and right, frantically avoiding Ishtar's attacks.

He dodged while laughing and said, "Oh dear, what Mind's Eye goddess."

King Hassan, Jeanne d'Arc, and Heracles all easily blocked the incoming arrows of light without moving.

Only the Earl lunged forward as he defended; he was about to make his move.

The edges of the pitch-black flame emitted wisps of blue light, appearing extremely eerie in the darkness.

As the Earl approached her, Ishtar frowned, sensing the intense, almost tangible, resentment emanating from Earl.

Who are you?!

"I am the embodiment of vengeance, Kuhahahaha!"

The Earl's arrogant laughter sent a chill down one's spine in the Serenity of the night.

"Since you are a goddess, then show me the way... or let me show you the face of hell!"

The Earl moved swiftly, his movements too fast for the naked eye to follow, leaving only a faint blue trail of light in everyone's sight, indicating his path.

With Maana as her means of transportation, Ishtar was able to dodge even the Earl's attacks, no matter how fast he was, and launch counterattacks.

The two fought back and forth, locked in combat.

Ishtar was surprised to find that the Servant in front of her Servant was covered in black flames, was able to keep up with Maana's speed.

She fired a barrage of arrows at Earl count, attempting to hinder his advance.

The Earl charged forward recklessly, making no attempt to dodge; the arrows piercing his skin did nothing to hinder his movements.

With an iron will, the Earl was able to block out his own pain; this little injury was nothing more than a tickle to him.

"Hey! You're going way too far!"

Ishtar yelled. This kind of unorthodox fighting was giving her a headache. Who would choose such a self-destructive fighting style that would inflict heavy damage on the enemy?

Abby watched with great concern. She clasped her hands together and said anxiously, "The Earl is injured. Is he alright...?"

Jeanne d'Arc was observing the battle intently. She said, "Now is the time for that goddess to have a headache. The King of the Cavern's attacks are making it difficult for her to cope."

"All of you, attack her together! Don't hold back!"

The children encouraged the others to join in attacking Ishtar, and they didn't think that outnumbering the enemy was a bad thing.

Jeanne d'Arc shook her head. "It's difficult for outsiders to interfere in their battle now; they might accidentally injure the King of the Cavern."

In such battles, having more people does not necessarily guarantee an advantage.

There was no tacit understanding between them, and rushing forward would only get in their way and prevent them from fully utilizing their abilities.

Moreover, given the Earl's temperament, he might include his own people in the attack, which would be the worst thing.

Ishtar was put in a rather awkward position by the Earl, and her mood immediately soured.

As a goddess, being chased and beaten by an unknown person made her feel very embarrassed and lose face.

With a wave of her hand, she threw out a handful of various gems.

Boom boom boom!

The violent explosion temporarily halted the Earl's attack.

Rin Tohsaka screamed inwardly, "Don't waste jewels! You bastards! That's money! Money!!!"

The Tohsaka Family's Jewel Magecraft is extremely expensive. Since Tokiomi Tohsaka's death, the Tohsaka Family's assets have been shrinking. It is already quite an achievement that Rin Tohsaka has been able to collect so many gems.

Seeing Ishtar squander the gems like this, Rin Tohsaka's heart bled. These were gems she had painstakingly accumulated, and they were being scattered like grains of rice.

She could almost see her impoverished life ahead...
