"Don't have the strength to protect me?"
Karna's words initially surprised Rozen. Then, as if realizing something, he abruptly turned his head, looking forward.
There, on two large trees separated by some distance, two figures landed swiftly.
"New Servant reactions detected! And it's two of them!"
Roman's belated shout came through the communicator, allowing everyone present to see the figures on the treetops.
It was a male-female pair.
The man wore pure white attire, but his skin had an opposite, dark hue. Tall and slim, he had jet-black short hair and wielded a long bow, radiating an intense magical power, akin to flames or thunder. The pressure he emitted was completely beyond Karna.
Another top-tier Servant had appeared.
However, what astonished everyone wasn't just the power of this unknown archer but the obsessive attitude displayed towards Karna.
It was an extreme fixation disregarding everything else, solely aimed at Karna.
In response, Karna, who had been silent and still, faced the archer's appearance with a gaze as sharp as a spear.
"I finally found you, Karna."
The dark-skinned archer spoke in a low voice. Although his voice was pleasant and quite polite, an ominous power lurked beneath.
However, what surprised everyone wasn't the strength of this unknown archer but the extreme fixation he showed towards Karna.
It was a kind of obsession that disregarded everything else, focusing solely on Karna.
Facing this, Karna just met the archer's gaze and spoke slowly.
"I knew it. Even if I hide at the ends of the world, as long as I exist in this world, you will always find me."
With these words, Karna revealed the archer's true name.
"Arjuna."
—— "Arjuna."
The central figure in one of India's two great epics, the Mahabharata, he was the son of the thunder god Indra, known as the 'Endowed Hero,' and Karna's greatest adversary in life, eventually becoming the one who killed him — Arjuna.
"He... he's Arjuna...!?"
Olga Marie exclaimed in shock.
"Even... even the 'Endowed Hero' has manifested...!?"
Roman widened his eyes in disbelief.
"This is troublesome..."
Da Vinci's expression turned serious.
No one anticipated that Arjuna would manifest, and especially not on the Greek side. However, it was difficult to say for sure if he truly belonged to the Greek
faction. While the Greek side had four Servants, including Jason, Medea, and the divine hero, the remaining one was also a Servant from Greece, not an Indian Heroic Spirit.
The evidence was that, besides Arjuna, another archer appeared on the tree opposite him.
"Although I knew that fool's invitation couldn't possibly succeed and prepared for battle, it's still unpleasant to see it come to this."
The woman who spoke in an old-fashioned manner was the female Servant.
Dressed in beautiful green attire, with animal ears on her head and a tail behind her, she had sharp animal-like eyes. Her hair grew naturally, lacking the luxurious appearance of a noblewoman but possessing an indescribable wild beauty. She tightly held a black bow, and instead of appearing as a mere archer, she seemed more like a huntress.
Both Rozen and Mash, who had been recklessly charging through the Dragon Tooth Warriors, were astonished by the appearance of this huntress. The reason was that they had encountered her before.
In the first Singularity in France, summoned by Gilles de Rais using the Holy Grail and driven to madness, this Archer was a Berserker.
She was the renowned huntress in Greek mythology, abandoned by her royal father, raised by a she-bear and adopted by hunters in the mountains. She rapidly grew in strength due to her innate abilities and received the protection of the goddess of hunt Artemis.
She was once chosen as a member of the crew of the Argonauts led by Jason.
She even repelled the Calydonian Boar, recognized as a female hero comparable to many Greek heroes.
Her true name was Atalanta, a rare female hero in Greek mythology.
"It's you?"
Mash exclaimed in surprise.
However...
"Unfortunately, I don't recognize you, at least not right now."
The female archer, Atalanta, with her true name revealed, calmly spoke these words, displaying an undisturbed demeanor.
Her current composure was a complete contrast to the berserk state she manifested during the first singularity in France.
Undoubtedly, Atalanta was the fourth Servant on the Greek side. Although she might not match the great heroes like Scáthach, Karna, Arjuna, or the Berserker, this female archer possessed strength comparable to top-tier Servants.
"You two finally decided to show up!"
Seeing the male and female archers, Jason felt both excited and annoyed.
"Now that you're here, deal with them for me!"
Jason casually ordered Atalanta and Arjuna.
However...
"I told you, don't order me." Atalanta's sharp gaze turned towards Jason, and with an unyielding tone, she added, "I'm only cooperating with you because if I don't, this continent will lose all hope. Don't forget that, Jason."
Atalanta revealed her determination, causing Jason's facial muscles to twitch.
As for Arjuna...
"I never said I belonged to Greece. I came here for one reason only: to kill that man."
Arjuna coldly addressed Jason, further fueling Jason's rage.
"You...! You all...!"
Jason was practically foaming at the mouth in anger.
"Don't worry, Lord Jason." Medea, as if unable to bear it, quickly said, "No matter what, you are the king of our country."
Upon hearing these words, Jason's expression improved slightly.
"That's right, I am the king. Even if I lose two disobedient fools, I still have you, Medea. You and Berserker will definitely help me, right?"
Jason, suppressing his anger with a forced smile, made Medea nod repeatedly.
It was a performance completely deceived by Jason.
Watching Jason and Medea condescendingly standing on the Argo, observing the battlefield below where both sides were fully engaged, Rozen's eyes flickered.
In his heart, a plan began to take shape.
