Chapter 700: Seen Through

Facing the aggressive Matou Kariya, Diarmuid immediately assumed a fighting stance. Although the wound on his chest was excruciatingly painful, he was, after all, a battle-hardened warrior.

Matou Kariya had black smoke rising all over his body, and his momentum was extremely astonishing. After rushing to Diarmuid's face with messy steps, he threw a punch at Diarmuid's face.

Diarmuid tilted his head to dodge the punch, his eyes filled with disbelief, because this Berserker was simply too weak.

Easily dodging Matou Kariya's punch, Diarmuid used agile steps to circle to Matou Kariya's side. He stuck the short yellow spear in his hand into the ground, hiding it, and held the red long spear with both hands.

Diarmuid's two spears had different functions. The short yellow spear was 'Gáe Buidhe', which had the ability of 'wounds that cannot be healed', meaning wounds caused by this spear could not be healed.

As for the red long spear that Diarmuid was holding with both hands now, it was named 'Gáe Dearg', which could invalidate magic defense. If fighting a Heroic Spirit, every stab could ignore defense, equivalent to true damage.

In the case of fighting a Heroic Spirit, Diarmuid chose to use Gáe Dearg to break defense, and then find an opportunity to use Gáe Buidhe to injure the enemy.

Matou Kariya didn't care about any Gáe Dearg or Gáe Buidhe; his only thought now was to kill the enemy in front of him.

"Roar!"

Matou Kariya roared wildly, and the black smoke on his body almost turned into substance.

Diarmuid stared at Matou Kariya, and the red long spear in his hand spun, dancing several spear flowers at the tip.

"What is going on..."

Diarmuid's brows furrowed tightly. This Berserker's 'momentum' was strong enough, but his actual strength was somewhat hard to compliment. What made him even more surprised was that compared to this 'Heroic Spirit', the enemy Master was so strong that it made him shudder.

Before Diarmuid rushed into that residential house, he hadn't seen where the enemy was when a long blade occupied his vision. If he hadn't reacted fast enough, he might have already died in that residential house.

Although he was confronting Matou Kariya, Diarmuid's gaze swept toward the residential house inadvertently. The residential house was pitch black, and the hole he had crashed through was like the giant mouth of a monster.

Matou Kariya didn't care where Diarmuid was looking, because Tokiomi had to die, and he roared and rushed forward. This time it wasn't with his fists, but with both hands grabbing toward Diarmuid.

Seeing this forward lunge that was almost like suicide, Diarmuid subconsciously took two steps back, suspecting that there was a trap.

But after Matou Kariya rushed forward a few steps, Diarmuid confirmed one thing: this Heroic Spirit, apart from having astonishing 'momentum', actually posed no threat to him.

Discovering this, Diarmuid held the spear with one hand, stepped forward, and stabbed at Matou Kariya.

The spear tip pierced the air, making a slight hissing sound, like a cobra biting its prey.

If it were a normal person, they would subconsciously dodge or retreat, but who was Matou Kariya? He was a 'Berserker'. If he retreated, what would happen to the face of a 'Berserker'?

So Matou Kariya resolutely rushed toward that red long spear.

Bang!

A wave of air spread out. The red long spear pierced into Matou Kariya's chest, creating a bowl-sized dent.

Blood sprayed from the wound on Diarmuid's chest. This stab didn't feel like it had pierced a human body, but rather like it had pierced a piece of hard wood.

Whoosh~

A sharp wind-breaking sound came from behind Diarmuid. A man holding a long blade had appeared behind him at some point.

Diarmuid's pupils contracted, and he subconsciously lowered his head.

Clang!

The long blade slashed over his head. This slash was intended to cut off his head.

"Roar!"

Matou Kariya grabbed the long spear that was stuck in his chest with his bare hands. Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on Su Xiao's face. He didn't expect this guy to actually be able to help him fight.

But in the next moment, the smile on Su Xiao's face disappeared, because Matou Kariya actually used brute force to swing the long spear. In this way, Diarmuid used this force to pull away from Su Xiao. Sure enough, Matou Kariya was a 'pig teammate'.

In mid-air, Diarmuid raised his left hand and tapped the handle of the long spear with his palm.

Hum~

The strong vibration on the long spear made Matou Kariya loosen his grip. Diarmuid was thrown out, landed on his feet, slid for a distance after bending his body, and stood firm.

Looking at Diarmuid more than ten meters away, Matou Kariya's eyes glowed redder, and his chest was filled with unvented anger.

Just as Matou Kariya wanted to rush forward again, Su Xiao stepped on the ground and rushed behind Matou Kariya.

Su Xiao stood behind Matou Kariya and kicked sideways.

Bang.

Matou Kariya was kicked flying more than ten meters away. This made Diarmuid and the spectators somewhat confused. Everyone had a strange thought at the same time: this Master seemed to be disgusted that his Heroic Spirit was in the way.

Matou Kariya was kicked flying more than ten meters away. After getting up, his gaze was fixed on Su Xiao.

Qinggang Ying energy wrapped around Checking Zhan Long Shan. Seeing the Qinggang Ying energy, Matou Kariya was somewhat afraid and didn't dare to rush forward again.

Glancing at Matou Kariya, Su Xiao stopped paying attention to him. Matou Kariya was okay for attracting the enemy's attention, but if they fought together, it wouldn't work at all.

This guy didn't distinguish between friend and foe and didn't understand tactics. For Matou Kariya, fighting was rushing forward; if fists didn't work, he would grab with his bare hands; if he couldn't grab, he would bite.

After all, Matou Kariya relied on several types of cells to have his current ability, so one couldn't hold too high expectations for him.

After getting rid of this 'Berserker' who was in the way, Su Xiao looked at Diarmuid.

The moment he was stared at by Su Xiao, Diarmuid became vigilant.

"Kicking away your own Servant and fighting in person, what kind of Master is this."

Diarmuid took a long breath, and the wound on his chest healed slowly. This was the ability of the Heroic Spirit and Master to cooperate. The Master could use healing magecraft to help the Heroic Spirit heal from a distance. Since the Heroic Spirit's body was energy, this healing effect was greatly enhanced.

However, Diarmuid's Master had tried to help him heal a few minutes ago, but it only took effect now, which made Diarmuid feel ominous.

Diarmuid looked at the Qinggang Ying energy wrapping around Checking Zhan Long Shan.

"This is... electricity? Electricity that can block the effect of mana, and it will also have a devouring reaction with other energies. This ability..."

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration appeared in Diarmuid's mind. He couldn't help but look at Matou Kariya in the distance.

This was a Heroic Spirit who was all black and had no sanity, and this Heroic Spirit had no combat experience, only knowing how to rush and crash. Even if he was attached with a berserk state when summoned, this didn't make sense.

Conversely, the enemy Master was proficient in swordsmanship and had extremely rich combat experience. No matter his grasp of timing during battle or his various abilities, he didn't look like a mage at all.

"So that's how it is. Truly... a crazy Heroic Spirit!"

Anger surged in Diarmuid's eyes. He already knew what was going on with this strange combination in front of him.

"Actually letting your own Master become this appearance, you are not worthy of being called a Heroic Spirit. At least I, Diarmuid, do not acknowledge you as a Heroic Spirit."

Gáe Dearg danced in Diarmuid's hand, and finally, the spear pointed at Su Xiao.

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak. He had long thought that he would be seen through by others. His arrangement could only confuse the enemy once. Clearly, his strategy of disguising as a Master had taken effect. Before, Diarmuid had rushed to him almost without any defense.

Su Xiao stepped on the ground, and with a bang, gravel flew, and he rushed straight toward Diarmuid.

Although Su Xiao's speed was fast, Diarmuid's agility attribute was also A+. ===== CHAPTER 701 =====
