Chapter 824: The Gradually Eliminated Heroic Spirits
Chapter 824: The Gradually Eliminated Heroic Spirits
With a single stomp, the entire Faruzuki family's residence slightly trembled.
By the time everyone reacted, they saw that the ground where Yecheng had been standing had formed a deep pit several meters deep.
The piled-up rocks and dirt behind him clearly showed the incredible force of the counter-impact that Yecheng had just unleashed.
Is thunder fast? Naturally, there's no need to elaborate on that, but at this moment, Yecheng, enveloped in a stream of magical energy, was also moving at an astonishing speed!
Conqueror Iskandar, with his bold yet carefree personality, sought to conquer his enemies, so naturally, he wouldn't choose to retreat at this moment.
Witnessing Yecheng charging directly at his Noble Phantasm with his physical body, Iskandar couldn't help but show admiration on his face, saying, "What an extraordinary display of martial prowess!
Will you conquer me with your martial arts, or will my Noble Phantasm conquer you? Let's wait and see!"
When facing such a formidable warrior, regardless of whether they are Heroic Spirits or not, it's certain to show respect. Therefore, Conqueror Iskandar shook the reins in his hand.
The flying-hoofed thunder bull, pulling the chariot, seemed to have received some instruction, as it snorted and instantly sprayed out a cloud of white mist. Its already extremely fast speed momentarily increased by another threefold!
"Distant Tyrant's Domination—!"
"Extreme Instant Impact—!"
The instant Yecheng's fist collided with the bull's horns, a massive shockwave erupted from the two, spreading outward at an astonishing speed.
"Moo——————!"
"Haa——————!"
The ground shattered, and dust several meters high swirled into the air. The path where Conqueror Iskandar's Divine Thunder Wheel had just passed was marked by a deep, charred scar. Yecheng's charge had also left a deep trench in the ground, as if a layer had been peeled away.
At the point where the two trenches met, a giant pit nearly a hundred meters in diameter appeared, and within the dissipating dust, flickers of lightning could still be vaguely seen.
Soon, a two-meter-tall Conqueror Iskandar, with red short hair, emerged unsteadily from one end of the dust cloud, still holding the Cupuret Sword, now broken in half.
"Did Conqueror win?"
Diarmuid, witnessing this scene from a distance, couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"You fool, if that guy was that easy to defeat, I would have killed him long ago!"
As if to prove that Gilgamesh's words were not false, not long after Conqueror Iskandar emerged from the dust, Yecheng's figure also slowly walked out from the other side.
Compared to Conqueror, Yecheng's appearance was even more disheveled. Not only was his arm twisted at an odd angle, but it was also continuously bleeding.
However, it was clear to anyone with a discerning eye that Conqueror had lost this direct confrontation.
In the clash, Conqueror had used a Noble Phantasm rated A+ against the enemy, while Yecheng relied on his own body and martial arts.
Don't assume that Conqueror had gained an advantage just because his injuries weren't as severe as Yecheng's. In fact, Diarmuid and the others knew that Yecheng possessed a strong ability to recover and heal himself.
Injuries like broken bones and bleeding were healed in a matter of seconds by Yecheng.
In contrast, Conqueror's broken sword, the scattered chariot fragments after the dust settled, and the fallen flying-hoofed thunder bull all turned into specks of light and vanished into the air.
It was evident that in this clash of Noble Phantasms, which seemed like an even match, Conqueror had suffered a significant loss.
Yecheng's injuries healed almost instantly, but his ox-drawn carriage and sword were destroyed in that single strike.
"Rider's chariot Noble Phantasm is destroyed, so he should be out of the fight. Now it's my turn!"
Yecheng's versatile abilities and impressive martial skills were indeed intimidating, even making Diarmuid feel his chances of victory were slim.
As a Heroic Spirit, he would never shy away from a battle, especially against such a formidable warrior, which was also his long-held desire.
Wielding his long spear, Diarmuid, the Lancer, charged towards Yecheng in just a few moments, thrusting his red rose-like spear towards Yecheng's chest.
"Demonic Red Rose" and "Deadly Yellow Rose", Lancer's Noble Phantasms, were not particularly outstanding in this Holy Grail War, but their effects were the most effective against Yecheng.
As a Mage, the spear's Demonic property was a natural counter, and the Deadly Yellow Rose effectively sealed Yecheng's healing abilities.
Compared to the straightforward clash with the Conqueror, the battle between Yecheng and Diarmuid was a true high-speed white-blade duel.
Using a two-handed weapon was more challenging, requiring attention to both weapons. With each clash of blades and spear tips, sparks flew in the darkness.
Unlike their first encounter, this time, Diarmuid simultaneously unleashed the true names of his two Noble Phantasms, one long and one short, from the start of the battle.
With the King's Fist, Yecheng's speed, strength, and mana were vastly different from before.
Diarmuid wondered if Yecheng was using some kind of forbidden magic, but when he used the "Demonic Red Rose" against Yecheng, he was astonished to find that while his red rose could dispel the red flames on Yecheng, it couldn't break through Yecheng's magical effects.
Moreover, the current Yecheng was not only stronger in terms of abilities compared to their previous encounter at the amusement park, but Diarmuid also sensed that Yecheng was surprisingly adept, even skilled in dual-wielding.
"The 'Radiant Form' of Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, even against my power, which has been doubled, you can still fight to this extent. It's truly admirable.
Unfortunately, compared to your spear, your magic sword and swordsmanship seem to have a higher reputation. That's what made you the 'Unparalleled' Chief Warrior of the Irish Fianna Knights.
Your martial skills and spirit are commendable, but to prevent your high luck of E from making you a tragedy in this Holy Grail War again, I must ask you to withdraw here!"
Was Diarmuid strong? To be honest, in both the Fourth and Fifth Holy Grail Wars, the summoned Lancer was always the embodiment of brute force.
In the mythological tales, Diarmuid's magic sword and swordsmanship were more renowned. If he were summoned as a Saber, his Spirit Origin performance would be stronger than as a Lancer, and he would possess multiple Divine Artifacts.
The current Diarmuid, not only had his Lancer power diminished, but even Sora, who provided him with mana, had lower abilities due to insufficient mana.
A Saber-class Diarmuid might have been a match for Yecheng, but the weakened Lancer Diarmuid, despite his high martial arts value, was no match for Yecheng.
After clashing for hundreds of rounds, Yecheng's "Crescent Moon Slash" broke Diarmuid's dual spears, forcing him to regretfully withdraw.
