In a deserted square:
Diarmuid, a hero with two spears, was fighting against Shiki
On the wall not far away, Lucas stood quietly, with nine jet-black tomoe spinning in his scarlet eyes.
The Mind stone and Soul stone in both hands released powerful mind power and soul power, and together with the power of the Phoenix, Lucas's pupil power was enhanced.
In the chat group:
Pirate King Roger: Group Leader, why did you come to watch the battle of this heroic spirit? His strength does not seem to be strong.
Tokiomi Tohsaka: This heroic spirit appeared in the Fourth Holy Grail War, but I didn't expect him to come again this time. Like the King of Heroes and the King of Knights, all three of them participated in the Holy Grail War twice in a row.
Lucas: In the original future, Diarmuid did not participate in the Fifth Holy Grail War. I didn't expect that he would appear again in the timeline changed by me, which is a pleasant surprise.
Lancelot: It seems that he can be so persistent in participating in the Holy Grail War. It seems that he also has the same obsession as our king. Group Leader, what is the purpose of Diarmuid's participation in the Holy Grail War?
Kariya Matou: For many magicians and heroic spirits, the Holy Grail is an artifact that can fulfill all wishes. I think this Diarmuid must have a wish to fulfill!
Uchiha Madara: It may also be to make up for the regrets in his heart!
Lucas: No, you are all wrong. Diarmuid has nothing to pursue from the Holy Grail, and he has only one purpose in participating in the Holy Grail War – to be loyal to his Master until the end. Because when he was alive, he failed to fulfill his commitment to his sovereign and the duty of due diligence.
Lancelot: What a humble wish. I did not expect this to be a poor knight too!
Lucas: Lancelot, do you feel that you are sympathetic to Diarmuid? This is not surprising! This man is indeed very similar to you – handsome in appearance, affectionate and chivalrous, and his evaluation in the community of knights is no less than yours, the flower of knights.
Lancelot: It's a pity! I couldn't participate in the Holy Grail War this time, and I didn't have my sanity in the last Holy Grail War. Otherwise, I really want to have a good fight with him.
Lucas: No need! In some respects, the two of you have already shown similarities.
Lancelot: What do you mean?
Howard Stark: I have a bad feeling.
Lucas: The two of you are similar not only in appearance and personality, but also in the shocking actions you both have made. You know? You are both excellent knights who have betrayed your lords.
Lancelot:
Shiki: No way? The Master of this kid is also a guy who disguises himself as a woman?
Lucas: No!
Pirate King Roger: Then he and his Master's wife are also spiritually in love?
Lucas: No! His lord's wife was more unrestrained, and she gave up her noble identity without hesitation and eloped with Diarmuid. The two traveled the world and repelled the pursuers sent by their lord. In the end, they even reconciled with the lord under the mediation of a third-party force.
Sebastian Shaw: Reconciled?
Lucas: Yeah! But Diarmuid's final death had a lot to do with his lord. But it was many years later. At that time, Diarmuid and his lord's wife even had several children.
Howard Stark: Lancelot, look at this guy! If you had run away with the queen, you might have been able to emulate his feat.
Lancelot: ... I don't want to talk!
Shiki: Group Leader! You came to see him fighting, but it shouldn't be because he did these things?
Lucas: Of course not! Look at the beauty mark on his face, it's a mark with magical power. Any woman who sees his beauty mark will have a strong love for him.
Irisviel: There is indeed a feeling of being charmed, but I can resist. This kind of thing should not be enough for you to make a special trip, Group Leader, right?
Lucas: You can think of this beauty mark as a skill, and the skill depends on the strength of the user. You have the strength to resist, but what if the person who uses this strength is stronger than you?
Tokiomi Tohsaka: Group Leader, do you want to use such a method?
Lucas: That's not it! Even without such a mark, my charm can make women fall in love with me irresistibly. Would I use this kind of thing? I just wanted to satisfy my curiosity.
Outside world:
After the Golden Lion had a battle with Diarmuid, he felt the fighting style of the heroic spirit, and suddenly broke out to prepare to end the battle. With more ferocious power and immortality, Shiki the Golden Lion quickly eliminated Diarmuid and sent him back to Valhalla.
"Nice job!"
"This time in the Holy Grail War, I fought very happily!"
Although he was directly beheaded by Shiki the Golden Lion, there was no disappointment on Diarmuid's face, but a heartfelt joy.
Because in this Holy Grail War, he had been fighting for his Master from beginning to end, and he died in an upright battle.
"I also appreciate your head-to-head fighting style!"
"According to your class, what you are best at should not be melee combat."
Shiki dropped the cigar in his mouth, showing respect for Diarmuid.
In the chat group:
Pirate King Roger: Since Diarmuid participated in the Holy Grail War once again, it means that he had a lot of regrets in the last Holy Grail War. Could it be that he was not loyal to the end in the last Holy Grail War, and his lord's wife was kidnapped again?
Lucas: During the last Holy Grail War, his lord's wife was indeed very interested in him. But Diarmuid stuck to the bottom line and didn't cross boundaries. Of course, it may be related to his current status as a heroic spirit and the quality of his lord's wife.
Listening to Lucas's blunt description, Howard Stark was speechless: "Then why does he have regrets?"
Lucas: Although Diarmuid stuck to the bottom line, his lord couldn't stand it! His wife was drooling at his subordinate all day long – who could stand it? Coupled with Emiya Kiritsugu's strategy, Diarmuid was beheaded by his own Master with a Command Spell, just like Gilgamesh was.
Sebastian Shaw: Poor guy! It seems that having such a beauty mark is not necessarily a good thing. Although it can make women fall in love, it will also attract men's jealousy and suspicion.
Howard Stark: More than that! That beauty mark can only work on women who don't have the strength to resist. In general, the harm outweighs the benefit.
Pirate King Roger: The battle on my side is also over, and the opponent was a very powerful female magician. Group Leader, aren't there enough dead heroic spirits?
Lucas: It's almost enough! After all, there is a heavy-duty hole punch like Gilgamesh, and the small holes opened in the world barrier are enough. The Holy Grail is about to appear, and I will go there.
Outside world:
Sensing the magical fluctuation of the Holy Grail, Lucas instantly used his space ability and appeared at the place where the Holy Grail appeared in the blink of an eye.
In the glittering Holy Grail, the surging magic power was boiling, mixed with a heart-pounding dark will, which was the will of all the evil in this world.
Lucas's eyes shot out laser-like spiritual power. The Mind stone and Soul stone on his fingers glowed at the same time, a flaming phoenix appeared on Lucas's body, and dove into the interior of the Great Holy Grail.
Although the home field advantage was lost, the Phoenix Force still had an overwhelming advantage over willpower and spiritual items. Especially with the blessing of the two Infinity Stones and Lucas's powerful spiritual power, the flame of the Phoenix's power was burning, erasing all the evil will of this world.
Lucas stared at the Great Holy Grail for a while, but finally did not enter it.
In the chat group:
Tokiomi Tohsaka: Group Leader, aren't you going to the Root?
Getting to the Root was almost every magician's dream.
Lucas: I won't go in. I'm afraid I'll ruin it.
Kariya Matou: What do you mean?
Lucas: Literally! It doesn't welcome me as an outsider, and it will be damaged if I force it.
Howard Stark: What a strange description. Is the Root so weak? It can't stop you?
Lucas: This is the origin of the planet, and it doesn't extend to the level of the universe. But if you really want to know, it's not impossible. When my strength is further improved, I can enter it without hurting it.
Sebastian Shaw: It's just the root of a planet. You should be able to go in without hurting it, right?
Lucas: It's not that simple! It would be nice if it was just the origin of a single planet. It also links the timeline and parallel worlds. There are parallel worlds in the Fate World, Naruto world, Marvel world, Stealing Star world, and DC world is also like this.
Tokiomi Tohsaka: Parallel world? My family's ancestral magic dress design seems to have a similar concept. But I doubt it, because I can't make that magic dress at all.
Lucas: That's because your qualifications are too poor, and the inheritors of your Tohsaka family from generation to generation are too unqualified. The Second Magician, Kischur Zelretch, once accepted the ancestor of your Tohsaka family – Tohsaka Nagato – as a disciple, but unfortunately Tohsaka Nagato's achievements did not satisfy him, and even made him have the idea of not wanting this apprentice.
Lucas: The design drawing of the magic dress inherited by your Tohsaka family is the homework he left to your ancestors. Once it is completed, he would recognize Tohsaka Nagato as a disciple. However, it is a pity that Tohsaka Nagato died before he could finish it.
