This strike was flawless.
Atalanta was certain of it, just as when she had attacked Black SABER before, gathering power, aiming, and releasing a shot with A-grade damage or higher. Even Black SABER's Noble Phantasm couldn't withstand such a surprise assault.
The outcome seemed predestined, her arrow would pierce the prey's vitals as always, killing it—at least that's what Atalanta believed.
But reality was otherwise.
"—————!"
Just when her arrow was about to hit the young man, Atalanta suddenly saw a series of Magic Radiance flashes around him, followed by the triggering of various strange Shields and protective magic spells she had never seen before. Then, Atalanta saw her arrow being deflected as if it had hit an invisible wall and was sent flying away.
How could this be possible?
