"No! My Lord!"
Diarmuid, who had been retreating as ordered, turned around only to find himself and Fionn separated by life and death.
At this moment, Diarmuid's heart felt like it was being torn apart. The Lord he had sworn allegiance to was harmed right before his eyes, and the chance he had to save him was slipping through his fingers.
"Kill!"
Unlimited rage erupted in his chest. With a mighty roar, Diarmuid, along with the Celtic warriors, charged forward again!
As he charged, Diarmuid suddenly saw Fionn turn his head to look at him, blood still gushing from his throat and mouth. His lips trembled, as if he was trying to say something to him.
"My Lord!"
Seeing this, Diarmuid sped up again. His primary concern now was to save Fionn. Perhaps with Fionn's Noble Phantasm, he might still be able to heal himself.
However.
"Pfft!"
After spitting out a large mouthful of blood, Fionn vanished into golden light, truly annihilated.
"No! You! You will all die with my Lord!"
Diarmuid's eyes were bloodshot as he directly charged at Mo Shuying. His target was clear: he would personally slay the one who had murdered his king!
Mo Shuying put away the Chains of Heaven and waved his hand.
"Leave the ordinary soldiers to you all. I'll handle this Radiant Visage."
With that, Mo Shuying took a step forward, charging towards Diarmuid.
Diarmuid's eyes flashed fiercely at the sight, and he thrust both his red and yellow spears simultaneously.
"Die!"
The demon-slaying Gae Dearg combined with the inescapable Gae Buidhe, along with Diarmuid's impeccable martial arts, should have made him an invincible force on the battlefield. But unfortunately, he was a Lancer. No matter how good his equipment, he was still a Lancer.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Golden light circles appeared around Mo Shuying, and several Noble Phantasms shot towards Diarmuid.
"Boom boom boom!"
Diarmuid leaped to dodge, but then Mo Shuying pushed his hand forward! A Mountain Giant Sword emerged from the space behind Mo Shuying!
"Clang!"
Diarmuid, airborne, couldn't evade this massive attack. He could only block it with his twin spears to deflect the force, rapidly retreating to land.
But the moment he landed, Mo Shuying had already rushed over. He picked up a Noble Phantasm longsword embedded in the ground and launched a fierce attack on the newly landed Diarmuid. Although this wasn't Arthur's Class Card, after using Arthur's Class Card multiple times, Mo Shuying's proficiency and understanding of swordsmanship were still top-notch.
"Clang clang clang clang!"
The sword in Mo Shuying's hand was like a torrential storm, pressing Diarmuid back continuously. The Mana aura released by the two of them kept the Celtic warriors from approaching, forcing them to target Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others instead, effectively engaging in suicidal behavior.
"Diarmuid!"
Mo Shuying's sword slashed across Diarmuid's cheek, almost cutting off the cursed mole.
Diarmuid gritted his teeth and thrust a spear back at Mo Shuying's chest. It was the inescapable Gae Buidhe; if this thrust connected, the injury would not heal.
But!
"Clang!"
The yellow spear tip stopped three centimeters from Mo Shuying's body, unable to penetrate further. Various shimmering armors blocked the long spear, preventing it from breaking through his defenses! Which meant it couldn't cause any harm!
This scene reminded Diarmuid of his tragic death in his previous life, fighting an invincibly defended demonic boar. Because he only had Gae Buidhe with him at the time, it was useless against the incredibly tough demonic boar, and he ultimately died in bitter defeat.
How similar was this scene, only this time, he had Gae Dearg!
"Demon-Slaying!"
"Swish!"
The other red long spear came like lightning. This spear had the property of ignoring Mana defenses. Mo Shuying could ignore Gae Buidhe, but he had been constantly wary of Gae Dearg. With a sweep of his longsword, he parried Gae Dearg. However, Diarmuid, seizing the moment Mo Shuying drew his sword back for defense, thrust his spear out like a dragon! The demon-slaying Gae Dearg launched a rain of attacks. Although wielding the spear with one hand reduced its power, it significantly increased attack speed. For a moment, Mo Shuying's vision was filled with red spear shadows!
"Hmph!"
Mo Shuying retreated with quick steps. Diarmuid tried to pursue, but Mo Shuying spoke.
"Do you want to know what Fionn's last words were?"
"Huh?!"
Diarmuid paused, looking at Mo Shuying with a confused, disbelieving expression.
"Do you know? I actually doubt if you truly wanted to save your Lord. He was clearly captured by me, his life in my hands, yet you still charged forward. Is it that you think your Lord has lived too long? Oh, right, Fionn thought so too."
"!!!"
At Mo Shuying's words, Diarmuid's face changed dramatically. He shouted with a distorted expression,
"No! My loyalty is witnessed by heaven and earth!"
"Witnessed by heaven and earth? A man who abandoned his Lord and his comrades for a woman, and you talk about loyalty witnessed by heaven and earth?"
"This…"
"Actually, Fionn probably wasn't too fond of you when he saw you this time either, right? After all, his ultimate decline had a lot to do with you. Do you know what he said in the end? He said he hated you."
"..."
Mo Shuying wasn't lying about that. Fionn's throat was damaged at the time, making him speak with a lisp, but those really were the words he said to Diarmuid.
This shows that even though Diarmuid was loyal, Fionn never trusted Diarmuid after being betrayed by him once before.
"No, no… that's not true!!"
Diarmuid trembled all over. He had served Fionn with his whole heart, only to receive such a statement in the end. He couldn't believe it!
"It was you! You killed the Lord! And now you're trying to deceive me with these words! You're asking for death!!"
Diarmuid pointed his spear at Mo Shuying and, after a roar, charged at Mo Shuying again like a wild beast!
"Why… don't you believe it…"
Mo Shuying raised his hand, and the longsword in his hand slipped. The moment it hit the ground, Diarmuid was already in front of Mo Shuying, thrusting his red spear at Mo Shuying's neck. But Mo Shuying twisted his body, dodging the attack, then instantly accelerated his steps, rushing into Diarmuid's personal space, closing the distance between them.
An inch longer, an inch stronger, but an inch shorter, an inch more dangerous! Mo Shuying clenched his fists, ignoring Gae Buidhe's attack, parrying Gae Dearg's attack with one hand. Right fist!
"Ora!"
*"Bang!"*
A punch landed on Diarmuid's chest, the crisp sound of bones breaking making Diarmuid's eyes widen as he was sent flying!
"Come!"
However, just as Diarmuid flew out, he was pulled back by a terrifying suction! Crushing Hand Splitter grabbed him! Diarmuid, in mid-air, thrust his spear at Mo Shuying's face! But Mo Shuying grabbed the hilt of Gae Dearg! He then stepped forward and delivered an elbow strike!
*"Bang!"*
*"Pfft!"*
Diarmuid's chest took another heavy blow, this time more severe. And because Gae Dearg was grabbed by Mo Shuying, Diarmuid's hand went limp and he released Gae Dearg.
Mo Shuying smoothly reversed his grip on Gae Dearg and then pointed it at Diarmuid.
"Here, have it back."
*"Boom!"*
