The situation on the battlefield was somewhat bizarre. Originally a three-way standoff, after two sides clashed, the Lancer camp surprisingly showed signs of defeat.
Clang~
The sound of metal clashing echoed from afar, the sparks especially noticeable in the night. Su Xiao and Diarmuid Ua Duibhne were entangled in combat. Diarmuid, who had already lost an arm, was retreating repeatedly and would soon be defeated.
The Counter Shield blocked Diarmuid's thrust once more, and Su Xiao struck with extreme speed, leaving a deep, bone-reaching wound on Diarmuid's right arm.
...
Kenneth, Diarmuid's Master, was watching from a distant abandoned building, his face extremely grim. If Diarmuid were to die in battle, he would lose the qualification to continue participating in the Holy Grail War.
"Why...why is there such a disparity in strength? Diarmuid, you useless fool, sigh~ No choice but to retreat for now."
