Pidgey: What Is 1000 Minus 7?!

My Diarmuid's 'Demonic Rose' is the skill that counters all Magic Output. Anything formed of magic—weapons, techniques, or contracts—I, Diarmuid, can shatter with a single spear.

"Break!"

After uttering the "stillness flag, "Diarmuid thrust his red spear at "Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer," and then...

"What?!"

The brush, which in theory could destroy the root of all evil, failed. In desperation, I could only move to the side, but I was still Sky-Piercing Slash.

I was careless!

"It wasn't Magic Output, but a high-density air compression slash generated by simply swinging the sword. What terrifying swordsmanship! Such swordsmanship is truly amazing."

Having successfully escaped death, Diarmuid, whose left hand was cut and temporarily unusable, looked at Joan of Arc with awe. In the Moon World, the universal energy is magic. To launch an attack that is separated from the body, it must be a special effect added by magic. Where had he ever seen a long-range slash without any magic additives?

However, Director K was watching from afar, immediately used his healing magic to remotely heal Diarmuid after seeing him injured.

Although he didn't like the other party, ignoring them would likely result in a loss on the very first night. Wouldn't he, a Clock Tower monarch, become a laughingstock when he returned?!

"Thank you, my lord—"

Feeling the healing of his left hand injury, Diarmuid looked into the distance and solemnly declared his loyalty, "Despite the immense strength of the enemy, Diarmuid swears that victory will be brought to you!"

Director K, listening from a distance, looked annoyed and thought to himself:

"Ha, anyone can say nice things, but you can't even beat a Caster head-on, so what are you talking about!"

Keep in mind, this is the first time, and the opponent is considered the weakest caster.

Joan of Arc, standing there motionless, wasn't watching the other side lick up his health pack out of chivalry, but because the buff Mo Yi had given her with his Command Spell had been used up (the cheat had expired, please renew). Now, if she were to use her self-destructing holy sword to attack the Brush Brother, she might not be able to beat him, especially since the other side had a red brush that ignored defense.

So Joan of Arc, through the contract, spoke to Mo Yi in her heart:

"Caster, the Command Spell Seals have reached their limit—"

In fact, Joan of Arc really enjoyed the feeling of going on a rampage. In the past, she didn't know any swordsmanship. She just grabbed a battle flag with a spearhead and charged in to sweep and stab wildly. On the battlefield of that era, to survive, you didn't need great martial arts skills, but rather the luck to dodge all sorts of stray arrows.

Clearly, Joan of Arc was incredibly lucky; after all, she was a saintly virgin blessed by the gods. (Self-proclaimed)

Although Joan of Arc didn't say it explicitly, her suppressed anticipation clearly indicated that she was urging Mo Yi to hurry up and use Command Spell to replenish her power-up, since he could replenish his Command Spell as soon as he got home.

"What should I do next? I can't suppress Lancer on my own like before. Please advise."

"A troublesome fellow is rapidly approaching—"

The troublesome fellow that Mo Yi knew was King of Conquerors Iskandar. Based on speculation from the original storyline, his purpose in rushing over now was probably to stop the battle between Joan of Arc and Diarmuid, because as the battle intensified, one side would inevitably fall.

Iskandar, however, desires a thrilling conquest with all the heroes of history, and wants to see if any of their spirits will bow down in worship.

It's funny, in the original story, Brush Brother finally managed to cripple one of Saber's arms and was about to finish him off when King of Conquerors suddenly jumped out and stopped him from taking down the opponent. Did you ever think about the psychological trauma that Brush Brother and Director K suffer?

The opponent leaked information about his Noble Phantasm to seal Saber's left hand. Doesn't this mean that Director K paid such a high price for nothing? So, Director K, you're really in a bad situation!

Now, Mo Yi has the advantage and doesn't want to stop just because of the King of Conquerors's words. Does he, the Oni-Slaying King of Heroes, have no dignity?

Of course, if he could kill Brush Brother, Mo Yi wouldn't mind killing Brush Brother, one of the indirect culprits who killed Director K.

With Diarmuid dead, Director K's Holy Grail War journey is essentially over. Diarmuid will probably die for some reason later, but that's no longer Mo Yi's concern. What Mo Yi needs is for Diarmuid not to die before his game is over, so that he can contribute 100 crystals to Mo Yi.

"Joan of Arc, finish this quickly! Use the Tome of Mathematics I gave you, use the second bomb, and take care of Diarmuid swiftly!"

Joan of Arc: "..."

Joan of Arc had no objection to Mo Yi's suggestion. After all, she had never been a strategist or a wise woman; she had only ever served as a morale-boosting mascot.

"Caster, the Noble Phantasm you gave me has so many uses, and different release methods have different incantations. Um... I don't remember the corresponding release incantation (⊙o⊙)..."

Mo Yi: "..."

"I told you to read more books, now you're paying the price!"

"Don't resist. Through the contract, I will temporarily control your body and help you liberate the Tome of Mathematics."

"OK--"

Joan of Arc d'Arc sheathed her longsword and took out the Tome of Mathematics hanging at her waist. This action made Diarmuid wary. Her class was Caster, and her swordsmanship was already so terrifying. Now, she was taking out a Grimoire that looked like her Noble Phantasm at first glance. That would be terrible.

"Lancer, it's time to end this fight!"

Although Diarmuid was somewhat uneasy, he was on high alert and dared not attack easily. After all, his opponent's close combat ability was no less than his own. It seemed unrealistic to try to kill his opponent in close combat before he could use magic, as he had done with other magicians.

Furthermore, the opponent is the legendary Archmage Merlin. We have no idea what kind of magic he possesses, but he is undoubtedly one of the strongest magicians. If we rashly attack, we might just fall into his trap. In the end, we can only prepare our stance and wait and see what happens!

"Then let's go!"

"The Second Noble Phantasm unfolds; the time for its birth has arrived. With this, all things will be restored—"

"The Grand Order is not my wish. Witness the end of our three-thousand-year legacy, which will be destroyed in this explosion—"

"Go, Pidgey!"

Joan of Arc: "..."

Even though she already knew the line, she still felt incredibly ashamed to hear herself utter such a cringeworthy line.

Of course, this didn't stop her from throwing the Tome of Mathematics after she finished chanting the spell. The Tome of Mathematics, under the light of Rune Magic, instantly transformed into a flying turtle and flew towards Diarmuid.

Diarmuid: "..."

The opponent's Noble Phantasm release line sounded pretty impressive, "Being a Grand Servant is not my choice; three thousand years of great achievements will explode here! "Diarmuid was so scared he almost broke out in a sweat. But then he just threw out his Grimoire, and the Grimoire turned into a turtle named 'Pidgey'? Are you kidding me?!

Of course, despite the complaints, Brush Brother, who suffered a great loss before, is now extremely nervous and doesn't know how to deal with the turtle that's about to crash into him.

PS: Chapter 347, Princess Arc: "For all the pain of clinging to love, for all the wounds of hate, I can no longer distinguish between love and hate. Is this how it is, blood and tears falling together! My heart is broken and weathered, but my Tsukuyomi hands cannot stop, cannot forgive, our past, burned to ashes—" As the 'Temptation of Going Home' BGM resounded in the Princess's heart, she decided to persuade Alice to temporarily unite and deal with Alice, who had stolen everyone's achievements. They would then have a showdown in the Imperial City! "I agree!" After learning from Shinki that the Princess not far from her was actually Tsukuyomi, especially considering the other party's effortless manipulation of them, and the fact that she was her mother's sister, whose combat power was undoubtedly overwhelming, Alice put aside her prejudice against Houraisan Kaguya and agreed to the other party's request for an alliance. Thus, the first collaboration between Night and Love was born. Moreover, this is the only way Alice can break the deadlock of Mo Yi's engagement. Otherwise, if she jumps out now and points at the 'Princess' saying that you two can't be together because she's your mother-in-law, Mo Yi will only think that she's causing trouble!

Chapter 448: Pidgey: What is 1000 - 7?!

"Look here!"

The tortoise that the Tome of Mathematics transformed into made strange noises as it flew toward Diarmuid.

Let's avoid it!

Last time, when Diarmuid used the Demon-Breaking Rose, he almost lost his King's Power to the opponent's slash. In the end, he chose to back down first. He was about to use the Crimson Rose of Destruction to poke such a strange Noble Phantasm. Who knows what unexpected things might happen? What if this thing also ignored the destructive effect of his Crimson Rose of Destruction and then exploded upon contact? Wouldn't he be a fool?!
