The Origami flew much higher than the buildings in the city, and from the air, the streets of Snowfield City looked like thin lines.
She flew over the edge of the city and into the western mountainous and hilly area.
Tiné secretly lifted her head from Origami's shoulder.
There are no cities below.
Instead, there were rolling low hills and exposed rocks.
The shrubs were sparsely distributed on the hillside, casting small shadows in the sunlight.
The terrain to the west of Snowfield City is mountainous and hilly, sparsely populated, and almost devoid of buildings.
A solitary figure.
I stood atop the highest point of a distant hill.
There was no hiding.
Instead, they stayed where they were, waiting for the Origami to arrive.
I also saw Origami.
A tall man.
His upper body was mostly bare, his skin was dark red, and his muscles were clearly defined.
His face was covered by animal hides and chains.
He held a huge longbow in his hand.
There are still several kilometers to go.
But their eyes met.
A few seconds later.
Origami's silhouette appeared at the edge of the horizon.
The person hasn't arrived yet.
Ten dark light bullets were fired first.
Ten dark streaks of light streaked across the sky, heading straight for the figure atop the hill.
Alcides ' body slumped slightly.
His intuition was warning him.
Life-threatening.
Each of the ten flares is deadly.
He suddenly exerted force with both legs and jumped to the side.
His body traced an arc in the air and landed on the other side of the hill.
Ten light blasts swept past him and landed on the hilltop where he had just been standing.
boom.
The entire rocky hill was destroyed.
Gravel and dirt shot into the sky like a fountain, and dust filled an area of hundreds of meters.
The top of the hill was completely flattened.
Tiné lifted her head from the Origami's embrace, looked at the destroyed hill, and her mouth gaped open.
One strike.
A single strike leveled a hill.
" Origami -sama..."
"Um."
The sound of Origami was smooth and even.
She hovered in the air, looking at the dusty hills.
That man is still alive.
The scent hadn't disappeared.
Seeing that the opponent dodged, Origami fired several more rounds of light projectiles.
Ten shots, twenty shots, thirty shots.
Dark light projectiles rained down from the sky, covering the entire space around the hill.
This time, however, the man did not choose to dodge.
He stood on the flattened ruins of the hill and raised his great bow.
The bowstring is drawn taut.
Then he began firing arrows with unimaginable speed.
One after another.
Each arrow struck the light projectiles flying towards him with pinpoint accuracy, detonating them mid-air.
Bang bang bang bang bang.
The light blast exploded in mid-air.
The smoke from the explosion filled the valley, obscuring Origami's view.
Origami squinted.
Two streams of magical energy shot out from the smoke.
Two arrows pierced through the smoke, but did not aim at her.
They were aiming at Tiné, who was in her arms.
That's a really underhanded trick.
They actually plan to attack their Master directly.
But Origami reacts even faster.
Of the ten wings of light on her back, two automatically flew in front of Tiné, blocking the trajectory of the arrow.
bite.
Ripples spread across the surface of the two wings of light, and the arrows were deflected the moment they touched them.
It landed in the bushes on the hillside below.
"..."
Origami looked down at Tiné in her arms.
"Hold on tight."
Origami looked up at the dark red figure in the distance.
How could one possibly break through their own attack in this way?
Intercept the light projectile with arrows, then use smoke to obscure the view before launching a sneak attack on the Master.
That's interesting.
How about this move?
The ten wings of light behind the Origami suddenly took flight.
They moved rapidly above her, forming a perfect circle.
" Shemesh."
The ten light wings began to rotate.
The rotation speed is increasing.
Then.
The light projectiles began to fire indiscriminately in all directions.
360 degrees.
Up, down, left, and right.
Each of the light wings was constantly firing dark light bullets as it rotated, and the entire valley was instantly covered by the light bullets.
The sky turned dark.
The ground turned dark.
The light projectiles formed a giant net, enveloping the area within several kilometers of the hill.
No matter which direction you run, you will be hit by the light bullet.
Alcides's intuition kicked in again, sending a frantic alarm.
This is no longer an attack that can be dodged by skill alone.
Too many, too wide in coverage, too fast in speed.
It's virtually impossible to dodge this attack using only skill.
So the only option is to find a way to block it.
Or escape.
His right hand was extended forward, palm open.
[ Twelve Glories - Erymanthian Boar ]
The air distorted in front of his palm.
A wild boar, as large as a mountain, appeared out of nowhere in front of him.
Its massive body was covered in gray-black fur, its curved fangs were like two giant swords, and its four hooves pounded the ground with a dull thud.
The entire hill sagged slightly under its weight.
The wild boar stood in front of Alcides, forming a living wall with its mountain-like body.
The energy blast hit the wild boar.
The explosion erupted on the wild boar's fur, engulfing it in intense heat and shockwave.
But its body is too big.
The power of the light blast that exploded on it was not enough to destroy it in a single shot.
The wild boar roared, using its body to withstand more than a dozen light blasts.
Then.
Its form began to become transparent.
The cost of more than a dozen flares.
The wild boar finally vanished completely into thin air.
But Alcides didn't waste those few seconds.
As the wild boar shielded him from the energy blast, his other hand reached out to the side.
[ Twelve Glories - Golden Hind ]
A golden deer appeared beside him.
It is not large in size, but has long limbs, mottled fur, and a pair of golden antlers on its head.
Ceryneian Golden Hind.
The Golden Hind glanced at Alcides.
Then its body transformed into a ball of golden light.
The light surged toward Alcides and merged into his body.
In an instant.
Alcides has temporarily gained the ability to travel long distances through space.
His figure disappeared from the spot.
The Shemesh light beams continued to rain down on the valley, but their target was no longer there.
Origami sensed that the other person's presence had vanished from the spot.
When it reappeared, it was already several kilometers away from here.
It landed on the top of another hill.
Of course, this distance is nothing to top-tier Servant.
Origami stopped the Shemesh's attack.
The ten wings of light returned to her back, resuming their unfolded state.
The valley was filled with scorch marks and smoke left by the explosion of the light bombs.
It involves both summoning large magical beasts and long-distance teleportation.
Why are these red-skinned savages' abilities so strange?
These are Servant I don't recognize at all.
Alcides raised his great bow once more.
He drew the bowstring taut.
The bow arm let out a low groan under the tension.
A Divinity power was infused into the arrow.
Alcides released the bowstring.
An arrow was fired with full force.
The arrow began to split before it had traveled halfway through the air.
One became nine.
Nine enormous, bird-shaped magical entities unfurled from the trajectory of the arrow, each spreading its magical wings.
They let out sharp screechs, like nine monstrous birds flying out of hell, and swooped down toward Origami and Tiné.
Each bird was shrouded in a dark purple mist.
That's the Hydra's Poison.
The nine strange birds flew in different trajectories, simultaneously surrounding the Origami from nine different angles.
This is a combined attack consisting of the Arrow of the Monstrous Bird, the Hydra's Poison, the ability to Nine Lives, and the War God's War Belt.
