What in the world...?
The Echidna, it's...going berserk...
How is he still able to move with those wounds!?
You've got it backwards.
If we had inflicted even one more injury on him, he would no longer be able to take another step.
I suspect he waited until the last possible moment before he knew he would exhaust his strength.
...Let's go after them. They may have defeated Odysseus and broken through the blockade, but none of that will matter once we catch up to them at the island.
Ready the beam sails! Set a course for the island! Full speed ahead!
Yes, sir!
...My honor is also at stake. In the name of my mother and my father, I will not lose this fight!
Oh gods, I'm gonna die...
Go ahead and find a comfortable place to lie down.
You and I already did our jobs, and we did them damn well.
It won't be long now before we reach the island.
This is Nemo.
We'll keep circling the island and look for a good place to pick you all up, just like we discussed.
The rest is all up to you guys. Good luck!
Understood. Bartholomew, here's
Welp, looks like my time is just about up.
Huh? But why?
We Servants are meant to disappear once we've fulfilled our roles.
And mine was to get you all here.
But, you still
We Servants are meant to disappear once we've fulfilled our roles.
There's nothing more for me to do. I've done what I was meant to.
？！
It's okay. It's always sad to say goodbye, but I don't have any regrets. I was The Courier here, and I played that part to perfection.
...Yes, that's right. Stargazers of Chaldea...
The age of the sea is over now!
So get out there, show Artemis and Poseidon who's boss, and go cut down that Tree of Emptiness!
I, Bartholomew Roberts, might have been the greatest, most handsomest pirate in the world back when I was alive...
...but in all those years on the sea, there's one thing I never managed to accomplish. And now, I have!
Today, I brought the world hope!
There you are! I've been waiting for you to get here, Fujimaru!
We've arrived at the designated coordinates.
I'll set up the interstellar trajectory firing support camp right now!
All right!
？！
Thanks for waiting, guys! Let me get started, and I'll have the perfect firing angle for Orion ready in a jiffy.
I'll also track down Artemis's precise coordinates while I'm at it.
...Check! Everything looks good!
Orion, just to be sure, let me ask you this one more time.
Are you sure your arms can fire that bow?
Yeah. I am.
Remember, you'll only get two shots, and not just because we only have two arrows.
Two shots is as much as your Spirit Origin can take before it starts coming apart at the seams.
I am.
All right. In that case, I won't feel bad about buffing you so hard you'll drop dead when they wear off!
I might be prepared to die, but that doesn't mean you need to be happy about speeding things along!
Uh-oh. Something's headed our way!
Hey. I figured you'd all be alive, but it's still good to see you again!
Achilles!
？！
Aww, you're still alive too? Phooey.
Just so you know, that whole dark and brooding thing really isn't your style. Hahaha.
Why're you in such a good mood? It's weird. And don't touch my hair! You'll mess it up!
...Everything okay?
？！
You look ready for this now. No... That's not right. You always have.
Anyway, I'm not gonna be able to stick around much longer, so I just wanted to say goodbye first.
What, you hit your limit already? Hmph. Spineless coward.
Yup, I did.
But that doesn't mean I'm not gonna see this thing through to the end.
Chiron's not dead yet, but I'm gonna make damn sure he leaves you guys alone until your job here is done.
So don't worry about a thing except shooting down that goddess, Orion.
You got it.
And hey, Paris?
What do you want?
Well...you know.
I do feel bad about what I did to your brother. Have ever since I was alive.
And you think that's supposed to make me feel better? After all this time?
No, I don't. So I'm not asking for your forgiveness.
But after seeing how bravely you've been fighting out there, well, I just wanted you to know that. That's all.
...
I will. I promise.
I know you will.
Good luck. I hope the path you walk is always illuminated, so you never stumble or lose your way.
And I'm counting on you. I know you won't let us down.
Damn straight I won't.
I swear to you that I'll live up to your hopes for me and then some.
？！
So Achilles is going away too...
Achilles the Fleet-Footed, the great immortal hero of the Trojan War...
Dammit, why did he have to leave us now, before we even fought Poseidon?
Hmph, what a jerk.
...No fair, getting to be all heroic and stuff right to the very end.
I wish I could be like that...
Okay, all support spells are good to go! Let's start with the arrow you'll use to destroy her shielding!
...I can feel my blood start to boil. Vessels are popping, spilling blood outside my veins.
I pick up the golden bow and the golden arrowsthe Divine Construct Hephaestus reforged for us.
Checking all parameters... Looking good! Checking maximum trajectory output... All good!
How are the support skills holding up, Mash?
...They're holding! Everything's working fine!
Khh...!
Orion! Your arms!
I knew it! Your arms can't handle the strai
？！
I'm fine! Don't worry about it!
Take a good look, Fujimaru! It's not every day you get to see someone fire a divine bow!!!
Charge complete! Fire at will!
All right, first arrow! Releasing my Noble Phantasm...Orion Orkos!
Analyzing... Done! It worked! Her armor's destroyed, and her core's exposed now!
Fire the next shot!
You did it!
All right!
...
Orion!
？！
You're bleeding! A lot! Hold on while I treat you!
No! There's no time for that!
Orion is right. Alacrity is paramount.
That shot only succeeded because it took Artemis completely by surprise.
We won't have the same luxury for the next one.
Again!
...Right! Reactivating support spells!
I'm picking up an extremely high output magical energy reading from five-hundred thousand meters above us!
This is NOT looking good!
Two bolts, one from the ground and one from the heavens, collided in midair. The resulting clash seemed to tear the very sky asunder.
In that moment, a brilliant flash lit the all of Atlantis. A peal of thunder split the air, echoing like the roar of a great dragon.
The golden light tore through Artemis's blast.
Orion's arrow, forged by a god and fired by superhuman hands, overcame even Artemis's cannon.
...But it was not enough.
Analysis complete. Knowledge acquisition confirmed.
Reactivating primary cannon to target Hephaestus weaponry. Speed limiters removed.
Firing energy charge in one second.
Shooting Star Ortygia
...What!?
The hunter couldn't believe his eyes.
His arrow had turned to dust and disappeared before it could reach the goddess's Divine Core.
In that moment, a strange feeling overcame his entire body, as his Spirit Origin began to fall apart.
Wh-what happened!?
... ...I'm sorry!
Huh!?
She neutralized it.
I never expected her to be able to react so fast! I shouldn't have underestimated a long range interstellar battlecraft.
... ...
...
Orion!
？！
Orion!
His Spirit Origin is collapsing...
H-how did she block that!? Tell me what's going on, Technical Advisor! And hurry!
I can't believe it!
We've never seen Artemis fire her cannon twice in a row like this!
It's as though she doesn't even care that this is going to fry every magical circuit in her body!
Nothing in Hephaestus's data indicated she would ever do anything like this!
Does this mean...she's learning and adapting!?
Is that what...happened...? ...Dammit...
Wh-wh-what about arrows!? Aren't there any other arrows we can use!?
Never mind that! You need to get out of there! Now!
Wait. No way. She's getting ready to fire a third shot!?
Run!!!
...
...
...
...
...
？！
Firing energy charge in three...
Two... One...
Slight magical energy reading detected. No threat posed.
My Command Spells...!
？！
Th-that light! Is that...!?
It's a summon!
A Servant's trying to materialize this very instant!
Fujimaru!
I don't know who it could be, but...
...there's a chance this hero could help us survive this!
Then there's only one thing to do!
Come forth from the circle of binding, Guardian of the Scales!
？！
...No need to tell me what's going on.
This old man already knows exactly what to do...
...a certain green-haired lamebrain filled me in.
!!!
It's...
...!
My name is Hektor. Hektor of the Shining Helmet!
I'm the hero who's been summoned here solely for the purpose of defending you guys from the moon goddess!
Huh? You mean you're not an Archer!?
Afraid not.
But don't worry, I know what I've gotta do. This old man's here to buy you guys some time.
B-Big Brother! What do you mean!?
No, forget that! There's so many other things I want to ask you!
Hey, Paris. It's simple, really.
I'm gonna use my Noble Phantasm, Durindana Pilum, to protect you guys from Artemis's incoming blast.
That's the only reason I answered this summons.
I had to, since Achilles himself asked me!
...!
