Haru didn't need to look up who was the figure that appeared in front of him. He could tell instantly that it was a Rider of Red, Achilles.
"Your luck is a very good Master of Black."
Achilles was known for his speed and he might be the fastest servant in this Holy Grail so it only took him a moment when he appeared in front of Haru.
"Unexpectedly, your servant is able to match my sister's skill in archery, destroying all of her arrows, is your servant is also a powerful archer-class servant?"
Achilles played his spear on his shoulders, looking at Haru leisurely while asking this question. However, from his eyes, everyone could tell a burning fighting spirit and impatient, telling everyone that.. 'I want to fight! I want to fight! I want to fight!'
"Don't worry, I am not like my sister. I won't attack you, but still, I didn't expect to see such an interesting battle." Achilles smiled, then her expression turned serious. "So bring your servant here! You have a Command Spell, right? Summon your servant now since I want to fight your servant!"
From the beginning to the end, Haru had never glanced at Achilles, and his steps on the stairs never stopped. He climbed the stairs lazily and let out a long sigh since the one who appeared in front of him wasn't Atalanta, but rather Achilles.
Haru wanted to see after all whether Atalanta's ears and tail were real or not, but it seemed that he didn't have such a chance.
Haru knew that all servants were very arrogant and proud, especially in their minds, a Master was an existence of frail and weak. It was also the reason why Achilles never thought of him from the beginning to the end, and so, he did the same.
When Achilles appeared in front of him, Haru had never glanced at Achilles and openly ignored him, however, it seemed that Achilles didn't notice it, but that was alright since he was sure that this guy would realize it soon.
"Although I am not sure about the qualifications of your servant, if your servant can leave a scar on my body then your servant has a qualification to fight against me," Achilles said confidently.
Andreias Amarantos.
Achilles has an immortal body in the legend so when he is summoned, his Noble Phantasm, Andreias Amarantos: Amaranth of the Brave, is the Noble Phantasm that maintains Achilles' gift of immortality from having been blessed and exalted by the Olympian Gods, protecting him from all ill will and killing intent.
This Noble Phantasm was really cheating since even "Balmung" from Sigfried was unable to leave a wound on Achiless's body because of this Noble Phantasm.
Haru knew that in this war, Achilles was one of the strongest servants in the war, and Achilles had already exceeded Vlad III who was Darnic's servant. He was sure that if Achilles and Vlad III fought each other, Achilles would be the winner since Vlad III didn't have a condition to kill Achilles unless Vlad III attacked Achiless's weakness which was his heels that didn't receive protection of immortality.
When Achilles had asked his request, Haru didn't stop and kept walking as if he didn't hear Achiless's words.
Achilles frowned and said, "Are you deaf?"
When Haru was being asked this question, he looked up and asked, "Are you asking me?"
"Of course! Who else is here?" Achilles was a proud hero, and of course, he wouldn't like it when someone treated him this way.
"Oh?" Haru smiled gently and said, "I have thought that you're talking by yourself since I have heard that some heroes on the Holy Grail are a bit weird." He gave Achiless a thump up and said, "Good luck, if you can force me to summon my hero then I will forfeit from this battle." He didn't say anything afterward and kept walking.
"..."
Atalanta, who was far away, was shocked when she heard Haru's words.
Minamoto who was on the lower part of the hill was also startled by Haru's words.
Arrogant.
It was the words that could only describe Haru at this moment.
Haru was never arrogant, however, if someone acted arrogantly in front of him then he would also do the same.
If someone screwed him, then he would screw that person back. Twice the payback.
"....."
Achilles tried to hold the anger in his heart, however, his temper had never been good and as a hero who had achieved a lot of things in his life, there was no way that he would allow himself to be treated like this. His brows were tightened and there were veins on his forehead.
"You heard that, Servant of Black? I will launch an attack on your master! Don't worry, you don't need to appear in front of me since I will kill your Master right now!"
Achilles' expression had changed and he didn't hide the anger on his face. In a moment, his figure disappeared and his figure couldn't be seen showing how fast he was.
Achilles had never used a trick since he disdained such a thing. As a hero, he loved to fight direct confrontation without using underhanded hands, however, at this moment, he discarded everything and all he wanted to kill the Master in front of him!
The moment Achiless moved, and his figure was similar to a comet that appeared in the sky.
Dromeus Komētēs.
It is Achiless's Noble Phantasm, it is the embodiment of Achilles' legend that he is the fastest among all the heroes of all eras. It allows him to run through a giant battlefield in a single breath, and obstacles on the field will not slow him down even as he charges through a dense forest.
Achilles became a human comet that moved through the hill, raising his spear ready to kill Haru!
His speed had broken the speed of sound, however, at the same time, a dazzling lightning ray arrow moved in an instant, cut through space, aimed directly toward Achilles!
However, Achilles didn't reduce his speed nor did he stop his movement, however, he raised his spear to stop this arrow.
*Clang!*
The moment an arrow and a spear clashed with each other, it produced a loud sound that reverberated through the hill.
Before Achilles showed a smile on his face, he was surprised since there was another arrow that followed the previous arrow.
This arrow was similar to the first arrow that was shot by Minamoto from the trajectory, power, etc, showed the superb ability of Minamoto on archery.
However, before Achiless responded, the arrow suddenly changed its trajectory toward his forehead. If it was a normal hero then they would die, however, Achilles wasn't a normal hero.
Achilles didn't show frustration nor panicked expression, and there was a happy smile on his face.
"Only this much?!"
Achilles' body suddenly surrounded by a wind that blasted everything, creating a barrier of wind, causing the thunder arrow to be reflected.
It needed to be remembered, the process of the confrontation between Achilles and Minamoto's arrows only happened in a second, and after the confrontation ended, Achiless flashed in front of Haru, raising his spear, stabbing it in the direction of Haru's heart!
