In a daze, in a deserted forest, Diarmuid looked seriously at the servant standing opposite him, holding a piece of chalk in his hand.
"I didn't expect that you would be the one to invite the war this time."
"I'm not the kind of knight who doesn't want to make progress. Maybe you don't know, but Britain's foreign wars are basically fought by me."
Anno's blue pupils reflected Diarmuid's stern expression, and he held the Holy Sword Chalk tightly in his hand.
The red long spear and the yellow short spear were held in Diarmait's hands, and his mood sank slightly.
This battle... may be disastrous.
But Annuo didn't seem to be in a hurry to start a war with Lancer.
"Your breath seems to be a little different."
"You seem to be in an unusually depressed mood."
"It seems that this Holy Grail War is not a pleasant trip for you."
Diarmait frowned after listening to Annuo's words, as if he wanted to be angry, but then he seemed to be discouraged.
He gritted his teeth and said rather forcefully.
"At least, I can still guarantee my loyalty."
At any other time, maybe he would have scolded the other party, but...
"And, Saber."
Zheng——
The red spear pointed at Anno, Diarmait said with a chuckle.
"The tiredness and helplessness in your eyes are nothing less than what I want."
Jian An smiled.
"yes."
He just admitted it with a smile.
The cold evening wind blew on Annuo's back, which was split into two halves by the broad back, and then passed across Diarmait's fingertips.
--call out!
In an instant, both of them took action.
--boom!!!
The swords and guns collided instantly, and a huge roar of magic sounded. Neither Irisviel nor Sora, who was hiding, could react.
Diarmait's performance as a servant is definitely not low, it is much above the normal level.
but--
Still feeling so oppressive!
Ping!
Red rose and yellow rose scratched the white armor worn by Annuo from the side, and Annuo frowned slightly.
He remembered the characteristics of these two spears - Demon Breaking and Destruction. They could be said to be the two weapons of the Noble Phantasm Killer. During the battle with Lancer at the port, he was struck by these two spears.
, the treasure armor presented by the fairy disappeared.
If it weren't for Anno's ability to eliminate special effects on himself, his armor would never have returned, and the battle with Gilgamesh would have been disastrous.
Now, it's still the case.
Annuo's upper body was only left with a black, close-fitting lining, which meant that his weak points were completely exposed to Diarmuid.
Even Annuo would die if his heart was pierced.
but......
Diarmait did not dare to take anything lightly.
Annuo exposed his weakness?
The premise is that you can really find opportunities to successfully attack his weaknesses in his storm-like offensive.
Buzz——
White light shrouded Annuo's holy sword for an instant, and the surrounding air seemed to become heavier. Diarmait took a step back involuntarily.
Holy light has its own characteristics, and the characteristics of [Sighing Chalk] are heaviness and murderous intent. This is the holy sword that can fully display Annuo's own characteristics.
The holy sword is raised high——
boom!!!
With a backward roll, Diarmait avoided Annuo's hugely destructive blow, and then turned over vigorously. The demon-breaking Red Rose moved forward and attacked Annuo.
The spear originally had an advantage in terms of attack range, but when facing Anno, Diarmait did not have such an advantage.
The length of [Sighing Chalk] is the standard length of a British two-handed sword, but...because of the shining light, the chalk's attack range will be greatly increased.
Ping!
The spear thrust forward, Annuo held the holy sword back, and the broad blade blocked the sharp spear tip. At this moment, the characteristics of breaking demons came into play, the holy light was extinguished, and turned into the original form of Chalk, Dilm.
De's eyes lit up.
Chance!
The inevitable yellow rose stabbed Annuo from the flank.
Faced with Diarmuid's almost desperate attempt to kill him, Annuo didn't panic at all.
Taking half a step back, Huang Qiangwei stabbed the air, and Annuo immediately used his backhand to clamp Diarmait's left hand.
Clamping and grabbing Diarmait's left arm, Annuo pulled Diarmait towards him -
Bang!
The heads of the two collided. Annuo didn't feel anything. Diarmait's eyes were filled with stars, but Annuo's offensive was not over yet.
Taking advantage of Diarmait's moment of confusion, Annuo pinched Diarmait's left wrist.
Click——
"Uh-huh——"
Diarmait let out a cry of pain uncontrollably, and let go of his left hand involuntarily.
The inevitable yellow rose fell to the ground.
Bang!
A kick hit Diarmait in the stomach, and Diarmait was kicked away directly. He hit a big tree that was as thick as several people could hug him, and actually broke the big tree directly.
"Lancer!"
A cry of surprise came from somewhere in the woods.
Anno protected Irisviel behind him, leaned down, and picked up the inevitable yellow rose that fell on the ground.
"...As a weapon, it may not be powerful, but its characteristics are extremely difficult."
After sheathing the chalk for the time being, Annuo grasped the two ends of the yellow rose with both hands, and exerted a little force——
Wow!
The inevitable yellow rose is broken.
call out--
But at this moment, a shadow almost shot out from the smoke and dust stirred up by Diarmuid who was knocked away by Annuo.
Diarmait held the gun in both hands and killed Annuo with lightning speed.
Holding the white chalk in his hand again, the light of the holy sword has been restored, and he slashes horizontally. Annuo's attack pressed towards Diarmait before Diarmait arrived.
There was a calm murderous intent in Diarmait's eyes. His arm had just been forcibly taken back by himself. He lowered his body and rolled to avoid Annuo's holy light. The red rose that broke the demon in his hand suddenly stabbed.
out!!!
Ping!
Spears and swords collided, magic roared, and the two men launched their attacks at the same time.
Annuo remained calm, guarding against Diarmait's thrust and looking for opportunities to counterattack. Diarmait's attack was faster than before, even with a hint of madness.
In this Holy Grail War, which was harsh and difficult for him, this kind of battle was the only thing he could enjoy for a short period of time.
Sora hid in the darkness, watching the battle between Diarmait and Annuo worriedly, biting his lip.
She could see it clearly from the side.
Diarmait has always been at a disadvantage.
Gotta find an opportunity...
We need to find an opportunity for Lancer to retreat...!
