"Senpai! Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Mash. Thanks for that..."
With the help of the massive shield of Camelot, Ritsuka suffered no injuries from the impact...
While Ritsuka and Mash were unharmed, the same couldn't be said for Achilles's chariot...
Troias Tragōdia is a divine chariot granted by a God, making it as durable as the Servants themselves, and its horses are immortal.
However, judging by how they fell from the sky and vanished, the impact from Kaguya's spear had been so devastating that it rendered even those immortal horses unable to fight...
"Incredible. Capable of killing immortals... those girls are impressive..."
It was then that Leonardo landed gracefully with her glider, surprised by the terrible condition of Achilles's chariot.
Kaguya and Yuzuru possessed Authority of God No. 8, which allowed them to kill gods and immortals.
Achilles's immortality meant nothing to them, and with a direct strike against the horses, it was obvious they wouldn't endure...
"Da Vinci-chan, can you do something? We have to help Rider..."
Unable to fly, Ritsuka frowned. The twins were strong, and with the wind on their side, it was possible Achilles wouldn't be able to hold out. After all, without his war chariot, Achilles wasn't nearly as agile in the sky as he was on the ground...
"I can try, but we need to force them down..."
As an innate genius, Da Vinci's mind worked at full speed, searching for the most efficient way to stop the twins. Leonardo could create several magical artifacts capable of flight or even long-range support from the ground to aid Achilles. However, with the twins controlling the wind, fighting against that was extremely difficult. The best option would be to bring them down to solid ground—and, if possible, strike them with a Noble Phantasm...
But was that even possible...?
Kaguya and Yuzuru were spirits of the wind. The sky was their home and where they held the advantage. They would never willingly give that up...
"There's no other way. We have to trust Rider..."
Reluctant as he was to accept it, Ritsuka had to agree with Leonardo...
Achilles, meanwhile, was enjoying himself—or more precisely, enduring the fight...
"For a Servant, you're not bad at all. I'll give you that."
"Surprise: defending against Kaguya and Yuzuru earns praise."
"Hahaha, if two beautiful ladies say so, I'm honored..."
Clang, clang, clang
The spears collided, scattering sparks. Although Achilles's spear was thinner compared to Kaguya's, Achilles was stronger and far more skilled. As a legendary hero, he blocked the twins' attacks without much difficulty. Even with both Yamai sisters fighting together, the battle remained at a stalemate...
But it couldn't last long. Achilles couldn't stay airborne for extended periods without his war chariot. His divinity wasn't high enough to maneuver freely and step through the sky as if it were solid ground.
Without a fixed point of support, he also couldn't fully utilize his A+ Agility. Little by little, Achilles was being cornered by the Yamai sisters' mobility...
"Kuku... I'm tired of this. Let's finish him, Yuzuru... Raphael: El Re'em!"
"Agreement: return him to the Throne of Heroes... Raphael: El Na'ash!"
That wasn't all. Activating their angel at full power, the wind grew even more violent, forming hurricanes. The weather across all of Trifas changed as storm clouds filled the sky and cyclones struck the ground...
Naturally, this drew the attention of other Servants. The scale of this Noble Phantasm was enormous...
"That thing has way too many tricks..."
Watching the clouds draw closer to his position, Blue Archer frowned. Even he had to admit that having too many Noble Phantasms was troublesome. With a snap, he leaped into the sky and vanished...
"What an incredible Noble Phantasm..."
Protected by Tiamat's energy, Illya calmly gazed at the heavens. The Magical Energy released by the Noble Phantasm was massive enough to engulf all of Trifas, yet even so, Illya remained composed. With The Beast at her side, there was nothing to fear...
And she wasn't the only one thinking that way, as another blonde-haired Loli also smiled at the sight...
"Damn it! Aerial battles aren't my specialty!"
Achilles was like a small leaf swept up by the raging winds. He cursed his luck—if his chariot hadn't been destroyed, there wouldn't have been a problem. Even within this storm, his immortal horses could have galloped through the winds. Unfortunately, Kaguya and Yuzuru knew how dangerous that chariot was, and since it was the only thing that posed a real threat, they destroyed it first...
"Hahaha, resisting is pointless. We, the hurricane sisters, are invincible..."
"Confirmation: Yuzuru and Kaguya will not lose an aerial battle..."
Seeing the legendary hero so helpless, Kaguya pointed at him and laughed. Still, she knew the wind alone wasn't enough to kill Achilles.
"Hey, Yuzuru... this is pathetic. Let's put him out of his misery."
"Affirmative: there is no need to prolong this battle..."
Yuzuru and Kaguya's power surged once more. Taking each other's hands, they held the spear together...
The metallic wings on their backs gleamed as they joined, forming a bow. The string was Yuzuru's pendulum, and the spear became the arrow. Holding the bow together, the winds converged, forming a tornado whose tip was the spear itself...
"Hey, hey—this is bad...!"
Even without any foothold and being dragged higher by the winds, Achilles felt the danger closing in...
Kaguya and Yuzuru possessed the power to kill immortals. Their arrow was more than enough to send him back to the Throne of Heroes...
"Raphael: El Kanaph!"
The twins released the string. The arrow shone as it flew, propelled by the wind itself, leaving destruction in its wake...
And just as the arrow was about to strike its target, a shield appeared before Achilles...
"Akhilleus Kosmos!"
Boommm...
Achilles truly deserved to be called one of the most complete Servants of all. He possessed many Noble Phantasms—immortality, a war chariot, weapons, and even a barrier...
His shield was a divine construct created by a God. Its barrier ranked at A+. When the twins' arrow struck it, Achilles was blown away by the combined force of the arrow and the wind. Even so, the shield held firm, and Achilles wasn't injured. But he couldn't keep this up. Once he reached sufficient altitude, Achilles clenched his teeth and activated his shield. It shone brightly, unfolding a Miniature World—an ancient city, or more precisely, the world where Achilles had lived: ancient Greece...
The wind slammed violently into the Miniature World, but it did not yield. Instead, the winds were forcibly dispersed...
"Eh?"
The twins were stunned. Their arrow was destroyed by that Miniature World, but that was to be expected. El Kanaph was ranked B++.
Likewise, Achilles's shield had been forged by Hephaestus, and its legend was extraordinary. Opposing that shield was the same as making the World itself your enemy—a foolish notion. Even if that were true, Kaguya and Yuzuru had the support of the savior of the World. There was no reason for them to fear a mere shield...
Still, one thing was true. The shield had the ability to defend against Anti-Army, Anti-Divinity, Anti-Fortress, Anti-Country, and Anti-City Noble Phantasms.
Which was exactly Raphael's domain...
"Haaaaaah!!..."
But it wasn't over yet. With the wind dispersed, Achilles propelled himself downward, diving alongside his shield. The Miniature World scattered the clouds, creating an enormous downward force...
"Impossible!"
"Disbelief: ahh."
Seeing an entire world fall upon them left the twins in shock, unable to react. It was massive, and there was no way to escape it...
BAMMM
Doing everything they could to shield themselves with the wind, the Yamai sisters collided with the Miniature World, trying to push it back into the sky. But the world was far too heavy, dragging them straight down toward the ground...
"I'm sorry, ladies! But the sky is no longer available!"
