"As expected, even Assassin isn't his opponent?"
On top of the building at a distance of more than one kilometer from the place where Jack fought against Haru.
The huntress dressed in beautiful green clothing was looking at the battle calmly.
"Although I didn't expect Assassin to be a child, since she stepped into the battlefield, then there was no choice, after all, this is the fate of servant."
However, Atalanta's expression turned weird, when she saw how Haru emitted a pink hazy light which somehow made Jack the Ripper who was very hostile became very docile.
"..."
Atalanta wasn't sure what kind of technique that was, but it didn't really matter to her since she was about to shoot her arrows!
Her eyes became sharper, looking at her prey.
In Atalanta's eyes, everything was treated equally on the battlefield, whether it was women, men, beasts, monsters, or even children.
Atalanta had been living in a jungle during her childhood time.
In the jungle, it was law, survival, the weak being eaten, and the strong ruling over everything.
It was because of that, Atalanta had the same egotism and viewed life and death as a wild animal.
After all, even Atalanta was born as the daughter of King Iasus of Arcadia and she was born in and as the princess of the natural paradise, Atalanta ended up being abandoned in the forests and on the mountains immediately she was born as she was shunned by her father - who desired a son.
But she survived thanks to the divine protection from Artemis, a virgin goddess who felt pity for her. Artemis sent and made a female bear, a sacred beast of the goddess, nurture the girl by giving her milk and raising her up. In gratitude, Atalanta is a fervent follower of Artemis.
Thereafter, after being brought up by the female bear sent by Artemis, and later was discovered and adopted by hunters who treaded into the mountains, Atalanta has developed her skills conspicuously, perhaps due to her latent talent, and also became a huntress. Upon reaching adulthood, Atalanta grows into and becomes an excellent and peerless huntress, and she accomplishes many adventures.
There are three tales that Atalanta is famous for. The first tale is about how she was chosen, accompanied, and participated as a member of the Argonauts led by Jason. The second tale is about the extermination of the Calydonian Boar where Atalanta is most known for her participation in this hunt, but this resulted in giving rise to a tragedy right after this event. The third tale is about the dispute over Atalanta's marriage.
After the hunt of the Calydonian Boar, Atalanta then returned to her birthland, but her father, who never had a son, commanded her to get married.
When suitors began to rush for her hand, the troubled Atalanta decided to turn it into a footrace contest. As she had pledged a vow of virginity to the goddess, she proclaimed "I will only marry one who can beat me in a footrace. Those who lose will be killed." She tore through a great number of challenges.
Although Atalanta would not lose to any man in a footrace, she fell on the cowardly schemes of a man who borrowed the help of a goddess and ended up getting married half-forcibly. She lost when she was tricked into picking up irresistible golden apples thrown in front of her, and she had to break her vow. Afterward, it has been said that she was turned into a lion as a punishment, but that is unclear.
In the end, none of these tales had a particularly happy ending for her, and her distrust of men became extremely strong due to the third tale in particular as well.
Atalanta's legend was full of tragedy and she might not be as good as Achilles, however, as far as speed cornered, she who had never been beaten in a footrace definitely not inferior to Achiless's speed.
Therefore, Atalante was one of the servants with the highest speed within Holy Grail, her archery was amazing, overall, she had a very strong heroic spirit.
The bow which was held by Atalanta was a weapon that was bestowed by Artemis, the goddess of hunting, wild nature, and chastity.
Not only could the arrow which was shot from the bow be controlled, by drawing her bow to its limit she was able to perform an attack that was faster than the speed of sound that clearly exceeded an A rank strike.
In fact, drawing her bow with every ounce of strength in her body allowed her to strike the force of God.
Even Siegfried, who was known for his strong body, was pierced by Atalanta's arrow, and even it even sent him flying, head over heels and crashing into several trees
Now, Atalanta was about to pull her bow that was bestowed by the goddess to its fullness.
There were two arrows on her bow and her target wasn't Haru, but she aimed her bow toward the sky.
In the sky, there was a moon that emitted a bright moonlight.
Atalante, who had fought him in the past, knew to deal with Haru, it wasn't enough to just pull her bow to the limit.
Shirou Kotomine was also aware of this matter and he only gave Atalante one instruction.
"If you have a chance to shoot, then shoot him."
After one shot, regardless of success or failure, Shirou Kotomine would use a Command Spell to summon her back.
Therefore, in this one attack, Atalanta was going to use her Noble Phantasm!
"With my bow and arrows, I respectfully ask for the divine protection of the sun god Apollo and the moon goddess Artemis."
The dazzling light shone on the two arrows.
Atalante's Noble Phantasm isn't the bow, nor is it an arrow that is shot with the bow, it is instead the technique itself of nocking and shooting arrows with her bow.
With two arrows on her hands, she sent a complaint letter affixed to an arrow sent by to seek divine protection from Sun God Apollo, god of the bow and arrow, and Moon Goddess Artemis, goddess of the hunt, with the "Tauropolos: Bow of Heaven" that she received from her Guardian Deity, Artemis.
"I offer thee this calamity....."
Atalanta aimed her two arrows at the sky as they began to shine, before releasing them at a great enough speed that they pierced through the clouds while leaving behind a glittering trail.
"Phoebus Catastrophe!"
Shortly after, there came a faint light filling the sky and a sound similar to the falling rain, but instead of it being a rain of water, it was a rain of arrows of light falling onto the enemies like a downpour.
As the malevolent gods seek sacrifice, they scatter down "torrential rain in the name of catastrophe" on the next turn after it is invoked, carrying out an attack on all enemies.
The arrows of light fell like a downpour, instantly covering the entire corner of Bucharest, the location where Haru was located.
*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*
One after another an explosion happened on the corner of the city.
The rain of arrows of light falling from the sky hit the ground, destroying the streets, like countless cannonballs, setting off a strong wind and shockwave, destroying everything!
This was the power of B-Rank Noble Phantasm.
Under the rain of arrows of light, it seemed that no life was allowed to exist.
However, Atalanta, who did this, only watched the scene indifferently.
Then, without waiting for the end of the destruction nor confirming the life or death of the target, she jumped off decisively with all of her power!
*Swoosh!*
The next second, the space around Atalanta's body was distorted, and her body disappeared, leaving only countless arrows of light that were still raining over the town.
*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*
---
On the other side, Raikou clearly saw the rain of arrows of light that covered the corner of Bucharest.
"Dear..."
Looking at the countless arrows of light, Raikou's eyes couldn't help but show anxiety.
However, Raikou's opponent didn't allow her to look down on him this way!
"Hahahaha! All of the suppressors are so arrogant! Even if you're on the battlefield, you will look down on me! This feeling...! This feeling is...! How humiliating! Hahahaha!"
With such a loud laugh, the Berserker of Red charged toward Raikou like a tank, and the steel sword in his hand, slashing it around aggressively like a typhoon!
*Bang!*
Each of the slashes caused strong shockwaves and wind pressure, smashing the walls of the building and everything.
"Um... how troublesome..."
Raikou felt that it was not fun being on the battlefield and all she wanted was to come to her dear's side as soon as possible!
