Chapter 33

Sword name! Ripples of Passion!

Spear name! Cursed Yellow Rose!

Swish! Swish!

The short sword danced, and the lion's pounce was completely blocked! The short spear swung! One thrust pierced the lion's chest!

Pfft!

The spear tip pierced directly through the lion's throat. Blood flowed endlessly from the lion's wound, and within seconds, the lion collapsed to the ground, motionless.

Watching this scene before them, the three companions traveling with him widened their eyes. They knew Diarmuid was strong, but they hadn't expected him to be this strong!

After a long while, it was Conán who reacted first!

"Diarmuid! You truly are worthy of the name Diarmuid! The strongest hero said to surpass Cú Chulainn! Such a powerful lion couldn't even block a single thrust from you!"

"That's right, that's right! Diarmuid! You're too strong! Teach us, won't you!"

"Diarmuid! I want to learn spear techniques from you!"

For a moment, all his companions crowded around and surrounded Diarmuid. Listening to his companions' praise, Diarmuid waved his hands in embarrassment.

"How could I compare to Ireland's Child of Light? Though, if there were an opportunity, I would truly like to spar with him."

Cú Chulainn was a legendary hero of the 1st century and could be said to be the idol of all the knights of this generation in Ireland; however, Diarmuid was simply very confident in his own strength.

As the grandson of the legendary Fianna knight Donn and a knight trained by the god of love Aengus and the sea god Manannán, he certainly had this confidence.

And it was at this moment that a voice rang out in Diarmuid's mind.

【Life Simulation System officially activated. Would you like to begin the simulation?】

"Who is speaking! Show yourself!"

Diarmuid swung the short spear in his hand and looked around vigilantly in all directions. Unfortunately, he felt no presence, and his three companions were also looking at each other in confusion.

"Diarmuid, what's wrong with you?"

"You guys? You didn't hear anyone speaking?" Diarmuid was stunned for a moment, and the next second, the system's voice rang out again.

【Would you like to begin the simulation? If you decline, the system AI will perform the simulation on your behalf.

Yes/No】

"Playing god! Fine! I want to see what you're trying to do!"

After Diarmuid finished speaking, he directly chose Yes, and at this very moment, the life simulation officially began! Subsequently, Diarmuid also saw the following scene.

【First day at noon: You and your three companions successfully hunt the lion that has been harming people. You return with the prey, but the journey is too long, and you cannot return in time with the prey, so you decide to lodge nearby.】

【First day at night: You find a small cabin in the woods in the wilderness, and you knock on the door to enter. Inside this cabin are three people and two beasts: an old man, a woman, a cat, a goat, and a handsome black-haired man. The man tells you that he also got lost nearby and is therefore lodging here.】

【The old man agrees to let you stay and then prepares a meal for you.】

【Just as you are preparing to eat, the goat rushes over directly. The four of you immediately try to stop it, but you are shocked to discover that the four of you attacking together are actually knocked to the ground by this goat!】

【At the critical moment, the eyes of the man who is also lodging there suddenly light up, and then you see the goat's body twist, and it is thrown directly to the side. The goat gets up, looks at the man fearfully, and then slinks away.】

【You look at this young man in surprise. You express your gratitude to him and exchange names, and you learn his name.】

【Lin Ye, a traveler from a foreign land!】

(PS: I plan to write about all seven Heroic Spirits, though some will be relatively short. After all, history hasn't written much about the likes of Hassan of the Hundred Faces. For Diarmuid, I plan to give the protagonist a weapon. Do you think a sword or a spear would be better?)
