Fate/Type: I Am the Assassin!

Chapter 178: Archer Sea



"Whether it's arrows or anything else, Nine Lives' power remains the same. You've finished unleashing your Noble Phantasm; now it's my turn."

Alcides pointed at Mo Shuying, and the massive nine-headed Shadow Entity immediately stirred. Its enormous mouths opened wide, and the next second, fire! ice! lightning! poison gas! and venomous energies with negative attributes spewed forth. Each head of the colossal serpent was as large as the Golden Hind, and every attack was on par with an anti-fortress Noble Phantasm. With nine attacks descending simultaneously, it's unlikely anyone could withstand it.

"Avalon!"

But Mo Shuying had Avalon. He was about to activate Avalon to evade the attacks, but of course, Alcides wouldn't be unprepared for a move he had already witnessed once!

"Usurper of Heavenly Wind!"

From several hundred meters away, Alcides suddenly clenched his hand!

A fierce gale quickly swirled around Mo Shuying, and a pulling force erupted. The Avalon, which should have activated, was instantly yanked out of Mo Shuying's body.

"What?!"

Mo Shuying saw the golden scabbard pulled from his body and felt a strong premonition of disaster!

The next second, both he and the scabbard were engulfed by the attacks! The nine attacks merged into one, all hitting their mark!

*"Boom!!"*

The attack exploded into the sea, creating colossal waves. The surrounding seawater began to darken and change color. The scabbard, floating in the air, quickly dissolved into golden specks of light and vanished. Seeing this, Alcides lowered his right hand, and the giant serpent Shadow Entity beside him began to dissipate. Unleashing the Noble Phantasm Nine Lives for such an extended period placed a significant burden on Alcides, both mentally and physically.

Moreover, he was confident that no one, not even a god, could withstand this strike.

Indeed, just as Alcides thought, Mo Shuying's body was annihilated by the nine attacks, leaving only a spiritual form, protected within the arms of an angel radiating transparent light.

"I'm dead?"

Mo Shuying found it hard to believe. With such high HP and defense, he still couldn't hold on, and in the end, he had to rely on a revival item.

But the revival item had a five-minute cooldown. During these five minutes, he absolutely couldn't die again.

He was about to revive, and Mo Shuying was currently invincible. He saw Alcides putting away Nine Lives and quickly pondered how to defeat this ridiculously strong enemy.

He was too strong. And this was Alcides without his Divinity and immortality; otherwise, he'd be even more troublesome.

What to use? Chains of Heaven?

Don't forget, Uncle B had a history of breaking free from Chains of Heaven. If an irrational Uncle B could do it, whether a rational Alcides could be bound was questionable.

"Whoosh~"

He began to revive. Mo Shuying frowned as he appeared in the air, took a deep breath, and immediately retreated, putting distance between himself and Alcides.

"Hm? You can revive?"

Alcides was also stunned. Revival had always been his Berserker Class ability. This was the first time he had seen a human capable of reviving.

Alcides was a bit bewildered, which was exactly what Mo Shuying wanted.

As soon as the out-of-combat timer ended, Mo Shuying's vitality began to recover rapidly, regaining most of it within five seconds.

Watching his HP quickly return to full, Mo Shuying breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, not being at full health always made one uneasy.

Alcides finally reacted, tying the lion skin around his waist and gripping his bow with both hands, becoming serious.

For Alcides, while he couldn't land a shot from five hundred miles away, twenty or thirty miles was no problem. He wasn't afraid of Mo Shuying escaping. Run! Let you run for ten kilometers first!

"Go!"

*"Thwack!"*

A Mana arrow shot out fiercely, reaching him in an instant. There was no deviation, no weakening; the terrifying arrow arrived at Mo Shuying's neck in a flash.

Mo Shuying was currently without a Class Card, so he didn't have [Mind's Eye or Instinct] skills. There wasn't time to use a Class Card either. Mo Shuying could only tilt his head, and the Mana arrow flew past, taking a large chunk of flesh from his neck.

*"Splurt!"*

Blood gushed out. Half of Mo Shuying's neck was shot through, and his HP immediately dropped by half. Mo Shuying clutched his head with both hands to keep it from flying off.

This scene was somewhat comical. Bottles of Life Potion appeared in Mo Shuying's hands and were crushed, rapidly restoring his HP.

The HP recovery also repaired his wounds. Mo Shuying's physical recovery ability was astonishing, returning to normal in a few seconds.

But then, another arrow struck!

*"Splurt!"*

This time, a large hole was torn through Mo Shuying's shoulder, the edges a bloody mess!

"Bastard!! I have to seal this guy's arrows! They're too strong!"

Mo Shuying switched to Gilgamesh's card and took out a shield, barely managing to block.

But it wasn't enough.

*"Thwack!"*

The bowstring sang, and a Mana arrow twisted like erratic lightning! It was no longer a straight line but ricocheted in an irregular path!

"You f—!"

Mo Shuying twisted to dodge the arrow, but it suddenly bounced back and hit Mo Shuying's left knee, making him curse in pain.

At this rate, he would truly be worn down to death. He was running out of Life Potions.

And just then.

"You unfilial disciple! I don't recall ever teaching such a foolish student!"

Li Shuwen's voice suddenly rang out. He had arrived at the command center, and seeing Mo Shuying struggling, he couldn't help but speak up.

"Master? Master, how do I get out of this?"

Mo Shuying was straightforward; Li Shuwen definitely had more combat experience than him.

"How to get out of it? Tackle it head-on! What were you thinking, keeping your distance from an archer?"

Li Shuwen yelled, clearly frustrated. Mo Shuying gave a wry smile.

"Master! The archer you're talking about can tear apart magical beasts and divine beasts with his bare hands! And you want me to fight him in close combat?"

Mo Shuying had considered close combat, but the situation might not be much better than it was now.

"What's there to be afraid of! Are the martial arts I taught you just for show? A mere barbarian! What's there to fear about him! Go! Face him head-on! Even if you die, die with some dignity. Don't let me look down on you!"

Romani, standing nearby, covered his face, speechless at Li Shuwen's words. What he meant was that rushing in to take it head-on was also suicide, but at least it would be a dignified death.

"Ahem… If you don't have a good solution, please don't speak, Mr. Mo, I think—"

Romani was about to try a forced Spiritron Conversion to pull everyone back to Chaldea, but he hadn't finished speaking.

"I understand, Master! Master is right to reprimand me. My preconceived notions dulled my edge. You're right, when it comes to fisticuffs, what do we have to fear!"

Mo Shuying's words made Romani freeze. Li Shuwen, standing next to him, nodded in satisfaction. Then!

*Clang!*

Mo Shuying suddenly threw the shield in his hand, colliding with the arrow. Then he raised his hand! Ignoring another arrow from the opponent, he opened the Gate of Babylon and projected dozens of Noble Phantasms!
