Devouring

Sensing the pressure bearing down on him, the anger in Diarmuid's eyes faded. Although he did not approve of his opponent's methods, he had to acknowledge the other's strength, so he would face him at full power.

Diarmuid stamped on the ground, driving the yellow short spear beneath the surface and hiding it.

Gae Buidhe had the ability to prevent wounds from healing, but its strength was far inferior to Gáe Dearg's. It was suitable as a weapon for delivering a killing blow, but when facing an enemy head-on, he still preferred to use Gáe Dearg.
