Kaineth looked at the Moon Cell Essence, which had already been broken open with a large hole, his expression somewhat grim. If his Reinforcement Magic hadn't been decent, he and Waver would have been done for just now.
(Reinforcement Magic: Can be used to escape, not to tank head-on!)
"A bunch of guys worse than amoebas, wouldn't it be better to just wait quietly to die?"
Seeing his attack miss, just as Fu Yuan was preparing to throw a second one, the spear in his hand suddenly changed and thrust to the side.
"You're asking for death!"
Seeing a bloody gash appear on his fair arm, Fu Yuan looked at the charging Diarmuid with anger.
(Diarmuid
Strength: A-
Agility: A
Luck: E)
Diarmuid looked at the wound he had inflicted with obvious regret. This spear wasn't aimed at his arm.
Golden ripples appeared in the air, and from them emerged the spear that had nearly ended Waver and the others.
Without any need for charging or preamble, the Spears of Constraint were fired the moment they appeared.
They weren't aimed at a single spot, but covered that entire area.
Diarmuid's expression turned serious. He continuously swung the spear in his hand, trying his best to minimize the damage he would take.
Then, a dramatic scene unfolded. The moment those spears, imbued with Honkai energy, were struck by the red rose in his hand, they... instantly dissipated.
"..."
"..."
The scene fell silent for a moment. Diarmuid looked at the spear in his hand with astonishment.
Seeing Saber wielding spears like that, he thought they were all real Noble Phantasms like Archer's!
Turns out, that's all it was!
After confirming that Saber's spears were merely conjured magic, Diarmuid's confidence clearly surged!
Iskandar, seeing this from the side, increased the frequency of his attacks even while at a disadvantage.
They absolutely couldn't let them switch opponents!
"Saber, release your Noble Phantasm!"
When Kiritsugu Emiya realized Lancelot was tied up and couldn't switch opponents, he decisively used a Command Spell.
Then... nothing happened.
(Fu Yuan
Alignment: Chaotic·Neutral
Noble Phantasm: --)
Diarmuid assumed a defensive stance and waited for a long time, finally feeling confused. He had seen the Command Spell being used!
So, where was the effect?
"..."
"..."
The scene quieted down again. Fu Yuan, currently unaware of the strange atmosphere, stared at the still unhealed wound on his arm.
He glared at Diarmuid expressionlessly.
Diarmuid, seeing that nothing had changed in the arena, moved his hands despite his confusion.
The red rose in his right hand thrust directly at the clearly peculiar Fu Yuan, while the yellow rose in his left hand was poised for action.
Upon seeing this, Fu Yuan suddenly laughed, a laugh so arrogant!
He didn't even dodge, reaching out with his bare hands to grab the spear thrusting at him.
Chains appeared in the air, instinctively blocking the yellow rose, which couldn't break through magic.
Feeling the pain in his left hand and the force of the spear, Fu Yuan ignored Diarmuid's shock and closed the distance.
His waist bent slightly, all fourteen joints of his body exerted force simultaneously, propelling his body forward with the powerful recoil from the ground.
Inch Punch: Mountain Collapse!
The発力 technique ingrained in his bones, his body instinctively adopted the perfect posture when the opportunity arose.
With a single blow, Diarmuid was sent flying backward.
Disbelief filled Diarmuid's eyes. His body told him that if he had tried to tank this hit, it would have shattered him.
Fu Yuan didn't press his advantage. Instead, he stood still, silently waiting for Diarmuid to get up.
After Diarmuid mustered his strongest breath, Fu Yuan... snapped the red rose in front of him.
"There's one more."
Fu Yuan casually tossed aside the already shattered red rose, the wound on his left hand already beginning to heal.
The one on his arm would be gone soon too!
Kishida had a certain m2p thought he wasn't sure he should voice: Can you be any more reckless?!
"Sigh! One last strike! Berserker."
Knowing victory was impossible, Kishida prepared to make a final stand.
Riding the Storm of Domination - Chariot of God
He charged towards Lancelot with an seemingly unstoppable momentum, the warhorse's iron hooves accompanied by faint rumbling thunder!
However, this seemingly unstoppable chariot was forcefully halted by Lancelot with a single sword.
[Noble Phantasm]: Lake of Unbroken Light:
Rank: A++
Effect: When this sword is drawn, Lancelot's parameters are all increased by one rank.
The moment this sword appeared, the black mist around Lancelot seemed to dissipate slightly, and his eyes appeared clearer.
Simultaneously, as he drew his sword, his own stats were revealed.
Strength: A+
Agility: A++
Endurance: A+
Magic: C+
After the chariot's charge was completely blocked, Kishida could no longer maintain the previous stalemate.
He strained to block Lancelot's sword, barely managing to push Lancelot back a little, his expression filled with helplessness.
"It seems my journey in this war must end here!"
"..."
Diarmuid looked at Fu Yuan, who had grown taller again, with a similar expression of helplessness. He hadn't expected Saber to become even stronger.
In his eyes, Fu Yuan's combat power had increased ridiculously, going from 1.58 meters to 1.65 meters.
And now, from 1.65 meters to 1.78 meters...
"Lancer, I command you, fight with all your might!"
Kaineth's voice also held a hint of resignation. What else could he do at this point?
"I suppose I've managed to fulfill my wish in a way!"
Diarmuid felt the almost imperceptible growth and became energized once more.
"..."
Fu Yuan was depressed!
A few minutes ago, Fu Yuan had resisted his body's changes with a furious expression, though outwardly he looked scared!
But he had still grown to 1.78 meters, his attire neat, exuding the aura of a successful person, a lawful Fu Yuan.
Before he could recover from his depression, Heavenly Fire materialized in his hands.
Then, gripping it with both hands, Heavenly Fire - Unsheathe!
Diarmuid, who had just become excited, returned to the Hall of Heroes.
The small wound on Fu Yuan's arm had completely healed, but the pain from being burned by the zeroth rated power of Heavenly Fire now assaulted his nerves in waves.
These Command Spells are poisonous!
Fu Yuan looked at the culprit responsible for all this, Kiritsugu Emiya, his expression resentful. In the end, he could only reluctantly direct his anger towards Rider.
If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be like this, right?
The Command Spells surely had a time limit. Although the fight seemed long, it had only lasted less than a minute.
When Fu Yuan looked over, Lancelot clearly panicked. His attacks became even faster, as if afraid his opponent would be snatched away.
Chapter 50: Isn't Kirei Kotomine a Yandere?
(Let me tell you something here, don't underestimate light novels, they're garbage!
Just my opinion, illogical, forced emotional pain, ridiculous plots, lowers IQ!
Maybe it was popular when it was first released
But it really doesn't align with current perspectives
This is just the Fourth Holy Grail War
I haven't read the novel for the Fifth Holy Grail War yet)
The battle was over. The moment Lancelot drew that sword, the outcome of this fight was already decided.
"Rider!"
"...By the Command Spells, survive!"
Fu Yuan, who was quietly tending to the wounds on his arm, gave him a surprised glance. They actually had a decent relationship.
Iskandar felt his body regain some strength and pushed Lancelot back again. Without looking back, he boldly shouted to Waver.
"Waver! Don't be sad!"
"Live on! Your journey isn't over yet!"
"Waver... don't forget your wish... you will surely become someone recognized by this world!"
Knowing he would die, Iskandar still showed no fear as he charged forward. He launched his final assault.
The battle ended at this moment. Lancelot's technique was as sharp as ever, giving him the final resting place befitting a warrior.
As he died, the bounded field also dissipated, and the group returned to Ryudoji Temple.
A sky with only a few stars, and the floor blown open with a large hole!
Waver knelt there powerlessly. Although Rider often teased him, he was truly the only one who recognized him.
Therefore, he couldn't let down those who believed in him. He would definitely make this world know he had been here!
Waver regained his previous demeanor, the only difference being that this time his eyes held faith, or rather, a goal...
"Do you want to kill them?"
Fu Yuan calmly spoke these words. Even though he was now Lawful Neutral.
The way this alignment was judged should be by intention, not by action, otherwise his alignment would be Lawful Evil.
He would show mercy to the innocent, but if it were for something more important, he could abandon them.
This was how he had become after truly growing up, having experienced the philosophies of Green Lot, Kevin, and Sue—Forerunner-Yuan.
