The Epic Story of the Heroic Spirit of Emiya Giant Warrior

“It's nothing, just my clothes got wet. A little fire will fix it.”

Goddess Artemis said softly.

“It's not!”

The goddess buried her head in Shirou's arms.

“It's all because of me that 'Andariel' has become so uncontrollable… It's all my fault. I killed them… killed everyone…”

Shirou sighed softly. He wanted to say something to comfort her, but the goddess's next words made his heart clench.

“Wait a moment—”

Shirou's heart pounded violently, and not only him, but Heding, hiding behind the tree, also broke out in a cold sweat.

But without any restrictions, the literal meaning of “everyone”!

In an instant, Heding thought of his most important goddess, Freya.

Artemis said softly, "Now it can release my arrow once. That arrow will destroy this world."

“Goddess Artemis…”

Artemis clenched her hand: “It can, and it can't… That spear is a god-slaying weapon that exists to end the lives of gods. It is enough to kill Andariel, who has absorbed my divine power, but…”

Before, Artemis still had illusions, thinking that as long as someone could pull it out, even if it couldn't be completely released, it would be enough to end Andariel.

To kill "Andariel" who possesses divine power, it is necessary to release the true power of that weapon.

Whether it is skill or magic power, in front of true [divine power], it is insignificant power, like a firefly to the bright moon in the sky, a mayfly to the vast sky.

Unless—

Shirou pulled up the goddess without saying a word. He held the goddess's shoulders with both hands and stared intently into her eyes.

The goddess remembered the stories that the children of her Familia had shared with her.

However, after coming to the Lower World, the lovely children that Artemis loved the most told her that love is a wonderful thing.

Shirou said softly.

Shirou asked, “Really, is there no way?”

Artemis was silent, she pursed her lips: “No, to use Orion's…”

“Can you become my 'Orion'?”

Artemis's lips parted slightly: “Yes, there is a way, I thought of it, I thought of it…”

[Reforge the “Arrow of Orion” to forge a new artifact.]

“Go ahead, Shirou… This is the meaning of 'my' existence.”

The “goddess” showed Shirou a long-lost and most beautiful smile.

“Be careful, the arrow rain is coming.”

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, a rain of light arrows tore through the sky and fell from above.

The Noble Phantasm materialized from the concept of [Drawing Bow and Shooting Arrows].

Shoot an arrow book praying for the blessing of the moon goddess Artemis with the [Bow of the Heavens] (Tauropolos) bestowed by the guardian goddess Artemis.

The area size can be adjusted. The more compressed the area, the more concentrated the light arrows fall, and the greater the lethality.

“Projection, start.”

A heavy, giant longbow appeared in Shirou's hand.

The longbow was jet-black and exuded a cold and mysterious aura. The bow body seemed to be cast from some unknown metal, and the black luster shone with a deep light under the sunlight.

Ryuu took an arrow in the shoulder to protect the goddess. Fortunately, the damage of the light arrow to the adventurer's body was limited. A single arrow was only the strength of a Lv.2 - Lv.3 mage's attack.

At this time, they also found the pattern of the arrow rain.

In mythology, Atalanta was born in the natural paradise of Arcadia, and the moon goddess Artemis fed her with the milk of a mother bear.

Because of this kindness, she became a fervent believer of Artemis, and it is precisely because of this that Atalanta will possess [Complaint Arrow], a Noble Phantasm that calls for the blessing of the moon goddess.

Surging magic power flowed violently in the jet-black bow of [Shooting Hundred Heads], as if the strongest hero who had also ridden the “Argo” was angry.

[Skill [Roadless Valhalla] effect activated.]

[Temporarily gain development ability [Martial Training] I]

[Temporarily gain skill [Bravery]]

At this moment, Shirou's figure drawing the longbow seemed to truly overlap with that hero.

The arrow burst out from the bow, and the black light cut through the air. The arrow carried destructive power and met the falling rain of arrows with the force of thunder.

The angry dragon-like arrow carried unparalleled power, completely tearing apart and crushing countless falling arrows. That heavy blow pierced through the clouds and scattered the dark clouds and arrow rain in the sky, turning them into countless light spots that disappeared completely.

After a brief silence, Frianne said softly.

“Let's move on. It shouldn't be able to attack again for the time being.”

“We can abandon the flying dragon. It's not far away. It's faster for us to walk now.”

“Can you keep up with our speed on your own?”

Ryuu stared at Riveria, seemingly wanting to exchange people, but Riveria completely ignored her.

“Andariel is absorbing the life force of this land.”

Looking at the lifeless forest, Riveria felt both heartache and anger.

A shout came from the camp.

“Wait, don't attack, it's reinforcements! It's Lady Riveria!”

“[Gale Wind] is here too!”

“This lineup is too luxurious!”

“Lord Hermes! ! ! How dare you leave me here! ! !”

The [White Magic Staff] looked disgusted. If that guy Hegney was really useless, he would never be willing to contact any gods other than Goddess Freya.

However, facing Hermes's smile, Asfi actually forgave the other party easily, making Riveria couldn't help but secretly shake her head.

As Wei Gong spoke, he was about to project the [Sword of Arrietty].

"No, that's not it... it's not about that..."

Wei Gong was silent for a moment, and after a few seconds, he slowly opened his mouth: "If you are talking about this afternoon, Ryu and Mr. Hogni were not injured..."

The goddess's body and voice were constantly trembling, and crystal tears kept sliding down her face.

"The children of the Lower World, they are so beautiful, and this world is so beautiful, all because of me..."

They realized that all the people the goddess was talking about were not a specific group, such as all the members of the Artemis Familia.

Many figures flashed through Wei Gong's mind: Ryu, Syr, Goddess Hephaestus...

"Antares absorbed my divine power."

"All of this is my fault, because I violated the most important rule for gods in the Lower World, I used divine power..."

Wei Gong was silent for a long time: "Can that spear kill Antares?"

Her voice trembled: "You can forcibly use that spear, however, this method cannot unlock its true power... Forcibly driving it with vast magic power will have the same result..."

However, now that she had truly entered the [Great Tree Sea] and felt the state of divine power within Antares, Artemis truly recognized reality.

And the "Artemis's Spear", or rather, the "Arrow of Orion", is a weapon of the gods. To truly wield it, one must satisfy its rules.

The "Arrow of Orion" is destined to belong only to "Orion".

Gazing at the boy's eyes, the goddess's gaze trembled, her heart accelerated, and her breathing gradually became heavy.

"Wait, what is he going to do? This distance is too close, could it be..."

Artemis is the goddess in charge of chastity. Love, marriage, and contact with men... these things have always been what she resists the most.

"Goddess Artemis."

"Yes..."

Artemis's voice trembled with nervousness.

As she spoke, the goddess suddenly froze.

Suddenly, she remembered her initial conversation with Wei Gong.

"Nice to meet you, Goddess Artemis... My name is Wei Gong Shirou."

She stretched out her arms and wrapped them around Wei Gong's neck.

The goddess looked into Wei Gong's eyes and softly spoke of that method.

Hearing the goddess's words, Wei Gong was stunned, while Artemis gently leaned forward, gently touching her forehead to the boy's forehead.

Chapter 141 [Accusation Arrow Book] VS [Shoot Down a Hundred Heads]

Riveria raised her head and reminded him.

The magnificent rain of arrows reminded Wei Gong of a heroic spirit's Noble Phantasm—[Accusation Arrow Book (Phoibos Catastrophe)].

The Moon Goddess responds to this request, granting the "hero" protection in the form of bestowing calamity upon the enemy, with light arrows falling from the sky like a torrential rain, performing a wide-range all-out attack.

The user of [Accusation Arrow Book] is Atalante, a famous female hunter who appeared in Greek mythology, renowned for being the first to shoot the Calydonian Boar.

[Shoot Down a Hundred Heads (Nine Lives)]

This was the third round of arrow rain they had encountered since setting off today.

At their first meeting, the rain of light arrows headed straight for Goddess Artemis. Heding released lightning magic in time to meet it, but those light arrows seemed to have special resistance to the adventurers' magic, and even penetrated the lightning net and Frayna's barrier magic, almost hitting the goddess.

Welcoming the arrows falling from the sky were shots from below, the heavy blow shot by [Shoot Down a Hundred Heads] pierced through the clouds, and the roar was like a mad dragon roaring.

In addition, she is also a member of the Argonauts, a gathering of Greek heroes.

However, at this time, the one summoning the rain of arrows was not a human hero, but a monster that stole Artemis's divine power.

[Skill [Oath Under The Snow] effect activated]

[When having a close bond with the guardian object, all abilities are greatly improved, the growth of ability values is accelerated, the upper limit of ability values is broken, and the effects of magic and skills are greatly improved]

[Temporarily acquire development ability [Archer] E]

"Boom—!"

The arrows and the rain of arrows from [Accusation Arrow Book] met in mid-air, instantly erupting into a deafening roar.

Those light arrows symbolizing destruction were now like moths flying into a flame, swallowed up by the blow of [Shoot Down a Hundred Heads]. In the air, only aftershocks echoed, as if announcing that the outcome of this battle had been decided.

"This blow is definitely not Lv.2..."

Riveria reached out to catch Wei Gong who was leaning backwards, and directly carried the temporarily exhausted boy on her back, ignoring Ryu who was looking at this side expectantly.

Wei Gong: "Sister Riveria, I can walk by myself..."

Riveria did not put him down. On the other side, Heding and Ryu also carried Hermes and Artemis on their backs, respectively.

Deep into the [Great Tree Sea], the originally lush forest was gradually replaced by withered yellow trees, and the earth also changed from fertile black to pale white.

The speed at which first-level adventurers sprinted at full strength far exceeded that of flying dragons. Soon, they approached the front-line camp.

"There are also the [White Fairy Magic Staff] and the [Black Fairy Magic Sword]"

The adventurers in the front-line camp cheered with surprise, but there were also some noises among them.

A blue figure rushed out from the camp. Seeing the other party, Heding decisively threw Hermes down.

"Asfi, long time no see, you've really worked hard ~"

"Really, you big idiot..."

"Here, is this the front line facing the Elsos Ruins directly?"

Riveria carried Wei Gong directly into the camp amidst the incredulous gazes of several elf girls, and then belatedly put him down.
