Countless dust particles obscured the entire battlefield, preventing Achilles and the others above from seeing the situation within.
"Roarrr—!!!"
Until a sky-piercing roar erupted, Cerberus's three heads howled in different directions, directly dispersing the dust that had covered the battlefield.
Atalanta's Phoebus Catastrophe struck its massive body yet left not a single scar, merely depositing a layer of dust upon its fur.
Cerberus shook its body, dislodging the dust from its coat.
Then, it twitched its nose and ears, using the keen sense of smell and hearing of a canine to locate Achilles and the others in the sky.
"Roarrrrrr—!!!"
Furious, Cerberus bared the fangs of all three heads, each spewing hellfire. Sensing the danger, the three horses pulling Achilles's chariot immediately turned and galloped away, evading Cerberus's hellfire.
"What?! How is this possible?!" Seeing her Noble Phantasm inflict no damage on Cerberus, Atalanta widened her eyes and trembled as she spoke.
Achilles tightly gripped the reins in his hands, his expression grave. "As expected of a child of Typhon, the father of all monsters. Its physical resilience is extraordinary."
Seeing this, Karna leaped into the air, fully releasing his innate skill [Mana Burst (Flame): A], and assumed a javelin-throwing posture mid-air.
If an anti-army Noble Phantasm could cause no harm to Cerberus, then it was time to try an anti-country one.
"O Brahmastra, Curse Me (Brahmastra Kundala)—!!!"
Karna's golden spear became wreathed in red flames as he hurled it towards the roaring Cerberus on the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Several sonic booms erupted as the golden spear, shrouded in red flames, shot towards Cerberus like divine punishment.
[O Brahmastra, Curse Me (Brahmastra Kundala)]
[Rank: A+]
[Type: Anti-Country Noble Phantasm]
[Range: 2～90]
[Maximum Targets: 600 people]
[Karna's hidden Noble Phantasm, his ultimate technique. It imbues the projectile Brahmastra with the searing heat attribute that defines Karna.]
[It further expands the already vast effective range of the anti-army, anti-country Noble Phantasm Brahmastra and significantly increases its power, its performance comparable to that of a nuclear weapon.]
"Roar!!"
Sensing the threat from above, Cerberus's three heads reared back, opening their mouths wide to forcibly catch and hold the terrifyingly powerful anti-country Noble Phantasm.
However, Cerberus struggled in the process. Its three massive, ferocious heads broke out in cold sweat, and its four limbs continuously retreated backward.
"As expected of a Lancer. I never imagined he possessed a Noble Phantasm of anti-country rank." Seeing Cerberus straining, Achilles instantly showed a relieved smile.
"As long as we can pin Cerberus down, it's no different from a living target in a hunting ground."
Simultaneously, Atalanta's gaze sharpened. She took out a black beast pelt, which emitted an ominous purple aura.
[Agrius Metamorphose]
[Rank: B+]
[Type: Anti-Unit (Self) Noble Phantasm]
[Range: 0]
[Maximum Targets: 1 person]
[A cursed Noble Phantasm said to be the Calydonian Monster Boar slain by Atalanta. By wrapping its pelt around her body, she gains the power of the monster.]
[The pelt and head of the Calydonian Boar, gifted by the hero Meleager who killed the boar. At first glance it resembles a boar, but that is merely because it happened to take a boar as its host creature.]
[While worn, it seals the Bow of Heaven. All parameters except Luck rise, and she gains Rank A 'Mad Enhancement' and 'Shapeshifting'. Damage dealt to enemies restores an equal amount of her own vitality. However, her mind is controlled by the boar, rendering her unable to recognize her Master.]
[In this state, her bow's name changes to 'Dark Sky Bow'. Arrows generated from mana can be rapidly fired in succession, each possessing the power of a Noble Phantasm.]
[The boar dispatched as Artemis's divine punishment possessed a body as huge as a mountain and was ferociously cruel, capable of completely devouring the harvest of the city-state Calydon. The power gained through this Noble Phantasm is equivalent to that of the Calydonian Boar, which gathered heroes from all over Greece yet still caused heavy casualties.]
"Aaaaah—!!!"
Atalanta crushed the Calydonian pelt in her hand. Instantly, purple flames enveloped her, and she let out a pained roar mixed with frenzy.
Atalanta's entire form transformed. Her beautiful green hair turned white, with her bangs becoming pale purple. Her elegant green attire changed into a black, swimsuit-like beast pelt outfit. Her slender, lion-like yellow tail split into two short, plump, dog-like black tails.
Her black thigh-high boots transformed into black boar legs. A massive black boar head rested on her right shoulder, its yellow eyes gleaming with ferocity. Purple patterns adorned the black fur.
Simultaneously, Atalanta's class changed from Archer to Berserker.
"Aaaaaah—!!!"
With a beast-like roar, Atalanta leaped from Achilles's chariot, crashing into the ground and creating a large crater. Then, like a true beast, she charged towards Cerberus on all fours.
Currently, Cerberus was busy biting down on Karna's [O Brahmastra, Curse Me (Brahmastra Kundala)] and couldn't break free, becoming a huge, immobile target.
Just as Atalanta was about to attack Cerberus, a figure blocked her path. It was Sieg.
Sieg's arms transformed into earthen-yellow dragon arms. A sharp white blade was equipped on his left wrist. Wings and a tail of the same color appeared on his back, and patches of earthen-yellow dragon scales emerged on his face.
"Graaah—!!!"
Sieg let out a powerful draconic roar. His shout materialized into a sonic wave, forcibly repelling the Berserker-transformed Atalanta.
Atalanta dug her hands and feet into the ground to steady herself, still sliding backward and leaving several long claw marks. After stopping, she looked up at Sieg's face and said:
"Scales? The dragon scales of a top-tier Phantasmal Species, a Dragon Kind. I never imagined anyone besides heroes associated with dragons could withstand the power of a Dragon Kind."
For a fleeting moment, Sieg's eyes turned into the vertical pupils of a dragon. He swung the sword on his left wrist to attack Atalanta, who also drew her Dark Sky Bow to counterattack.
The battle between a top-tier Phantasmal Species divine beast and a Dragon Kind unfolded, while new Dragon Tooth Soldiers also appeared on the field.
