Skill extraction from Dragon Clan

Chapter 291

After carefully examining his idea, Zheng Shu felt that it was worth a try.

Most importantly, according to his thinking, almost no one will suffer losses in this incident.

According to the original book, Diarmuid finally died after the crusade against the sea demons, and Emiya Kiritsugu tricked Kenneth to use a command spell to order him to commit suicide.

The biggest impact of his death was probably that Emiya Kiritsugu exposed his own character in order to be able to kill people, making the conflict between Emiya Kiritsugu and Arturia reach the peak, but this still did not affect their subsequent battles.

To put it simply, although it is very hurtful, the only influence that Diarmuid has caused in the original work is probably that Artoria's crusade against the sea monsters is not so smooth.Of course, the bombing of the hotel where Kenneth stayed was probably considered a loss by Emiya Kiritsugu.

If Zheng Shu let Diarmuid exit here, at least Kenneth's life would be saved.

Although Kenneth will be ridiculed by his colleagues because he failed in a "third-rate country magic ceremony" after returning to the clock tower, but it is not a big problem compared to his own life.

And because Kenneth has lost the target of Emiya Kiritsugu, his place of residence will not be attacked, and the various magic costumes he rented, including the magic furnace, will not be damaged.

You know, the original world line waited until Weber became El-Melloi II, because Kenneth lost these magic dresses, which caused him to bear a lot of debt, so that he had to work day and night.

To be able to return to the clock tower alive, and not to suffer too much damage to his own property, is a good thing for both Kenneth and Weber.

As for Diarmuid...

If Zheng Shu remembered correctly, the wish of this buddy to come down from the Throne of Heroes is to truly serve his monarch again.

In other words, the moment he was summoned, his wish was basically fulfilled, but because he was targeted by Emiya Kiritsugu and was persecuted by his Master, he returned to the Throne of Heroes unwillingly.

If Zheng Shu killed him now, although Diarmuid himself would feel unwilling, he would not be so angry, at most it would be a little regretful.

Of course, having said so many reasons, the most important thing is that if such a big plot can really be changed, Zheng Shu feels that he may get the biggest impact factor so far.

On the other side, after discussing the matter about Assassin, the three servants also fell silent at the same time, looking at Berserker who was standing motionless, and fell into vigilance.

In fact, even the most upright Arturia has the idea of ​​retreating now. It is obvious that the opponent's defense strength is not something the three of them can break through. Artoria even suspects that even her own treasure may not be able to cause the opponent to suffer any damage.

After all, Iskandar's bullock cart has even been destroyed, and both of them have seen the state of Diarmuid's magic gun, knowing that the other's treasure is not too far away from being damaged.

Although both Iskandar and Arturia still have their own cards, it is unacceptable for them to expose all their cards on the second night of the Holy Grail War.

That being the case, it doesn't make any sense to simply spend it here.

The three of them exchanged glances, confirming the retreat in everyone's eyes, but the initiative is not with them now, but with Berserker in front of him who suddenly fell silent for some reason.

"Berserker, kill one at random, and then go home and sleep." At this moment, Matou Sakura's voice suddenly came.

The pupils of the remaining three servants shrank suddenly, because they found that after the master's voice fell, the momentum on Berserker's body not far away suddenly rose again.

How can it be? !Can it still improve?Could such a young child possess such amazing magical powers? !

Accompanied by a terrifying aura, Artoria suddenly found Berserker's golden eyes looking towards her.

The next moment, a figure covered in black mist had already descended in front of Artoria, without any special movement skills, just relying on pure strength to drive the speed.

Danger!

The intuition that can almost predict the future crazily conveyed the information to Artoria, and the pupils contracted violently. At such a critical moment, Artoria's body's instinctive movements were faster than her thinking.

The sword of vowed victory has been blocked in front of her, blocking Zheng Shu's fist.

boom!
With a simple punch, Arturia was sent flying again.

Even though she had prepared in advance this time, the terrifying force still caused her body to retreat continuously, sliding out of deep ravines on the ground and then falling into the sea surface of the port.

Fortunately, she was protected by the spirit of the lake, so Arturia could move freely on the water surface, but even so, she was still retreating on the sea surface as if she was floating in the water, looking extremely embarrassed.

"I come!"

With a roar, Iskandar swung his short sword and rushed forward, stopping Zheng Shu who wanted to pursue him.

Although he was quickly pushed back by Zheng Shu's punch, but relying on this short time, Arturia regained his momentum and charged Zheng Shu from a distance.

Seeing the crowd already fighting together, Diarmuid waved the magic spear in his hand and prepared to join them.

"Lancer, take advantage of this opportunity and retreat!" Unfortunately, Kenneth's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, stopping Diarmuid from taking the steps he wanted to take.

"But, Master..." Diarmuid struggled a bit.

"I said, retreat! Do you want to disobey the order?! Or do you want me to waste a Command Seal?" Kenneth's voice became more severe.

Diarmuid changed his dark colors a few times, and finally chose the latter between his own personal thoughts and the order of the lord. After all, the reason why he came down from the Hall of Valor this time was to fulfill his regrets during his lifetime.

"Yes! Master." Diarmuid glanced at Iskandar and Artoria who were being pressed and beaten by Zheng Shu with apologetic eyes.

For him, this kind of behavior is not helpful for deserting his comrades who have abandoned him.

However, the order of his master is absolute, so Diarmuid can only retreat slowly, preparing to leave here after retreating into the darkness.

Just when Diarmuid was about to retreat, Zheng Shu, who had been pressing down on the two of them, also glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally.

Sure enough, everything was going as he expected.

Whether it is the character of Kenneth or Dilumdo, he has grasped it very accurately through the original work.

After sending a signal to Sakura to give her an order to attack, Zheng Shu took the initiative to attack, but he did not choose Diarmuid as the first target.

Because of Kenneth's character, after confirming that Zheng Shu cannot be dealt with by these people alone, if he finds that his servant is listed as the main attack target, he will most likely activate the Command Spell directly to teleport him away.

With Kenneth's decisiveness, this kind of action is still very possible.

However, if Zheng Shu chooses the other two as the main target, according to Kenneth's personality, it is very likely that Diarmuid will evacuate on his own according to the most rational idea.

After all, Command Seals are still quite precious, and it is of course a good thing to be able to use one less.

With Diarmuid's character, it is easy to follow orders that do not violate his own philosophy, so this situation will appear.

However, neither Kenneth nor Diarmuid overlooked one thing. In a sense, Diarmuid was out of touch with the other two during the retreat.

In other words, he is now "isolated and helpless".

Zheng Shu looked at Diarmuid who was about to hide his body into the darkness, and pushed Iskandar and Artoria away with both hands.

With a turn of the body, the magic light burst out from the legs, and the magic power was released in an instant to greatly increase his movement speed.

"what?!"

"not good!"

Arturia and Iskandar also understood Zheng Shu's thoughts. In fact, they had already discovered the fact that Diarmuid retreated quietly before, but everyone is actually in a state of hostility now, so they have no position to blame the other party for such behavior.

But they didn't expect that Berserker, whom they had always regarded as utterly irrational, would suddenly act like this.

But it was too late to find out now, and Iskandar and Arturia could only shout helplessly, trying to remind Diarmuid.

"Damn it!" Looking at Berserker who appeared in front of him in just a moment, Diarmuid also understood his current situation.

It is impossible to run at such a distance, but for Diarmuid, it is enough to hold it.Whether it is waiting for his master to use the command spell to let him move in space, or waiting for the support of the other two servants, it only takes a short time to complete.

Looking at Diarmuid's defensive posture, Zheng Shu also understood what he was thinking, but Zheng Shu just silently raised his fist.

"!!!"

The high-pitched Long Wen read from Zheng Shu's mouth. Although it was not on his follower panel, Zheng Shu could still use the language.

Ordinary mixed races need to chant the spirit of speech for several minutes. Zheng Shu relied on his three-generation dragon blood, and used a singing method similar to high-speed divine words to compress it into one syllable.

The moment Zheng Shu just raised his hand, he had finished singing his words, and the surging flame elements quickly gathered on his arms and fists, mixed with Zheng Shu's own magic light, making his arms emit a distorted black-red brilliance.

Instead of releasing the flame element aroused by Yan Ling into a light cannon, Zheng Shu chose to condense it on his arm.

The high-intensity flame element and Zheng Shu's own magic power made his arm look like a combination of a plasma cutter and a [-]-ton hydraulic press in a short time.

Seeing the terrifying energy erupting from Zheng Shu's arm, Diarmuid gritted his teeth and raised his two magic spears to block in front of him.

On the other side, after discovering that his servant was stopped by that Berserker, Kenneth could only curse secretly, and raised his hand to use the Command Seal.

Zheng Shu's eyes moved slightly, and he already felt the magic power around Diarmuid's body began to fluctuate, which was a sign that the Command Spell had begun to work.

It seems that Kenneth is quite decisive, but unfortunately, it is a bit too late now.

Fist!

Zheng Shu's fist swung down decisively, and without hesitation, a sonic boom cloud appeared in front of his fist peak for a short time.

Bang!Click!

Zheng Shu's fist easily crushed Diarmuid's yellow short spear that was already full of cracks, and then his fist bombarded the red long spear. The high-heat flame energy and surging black magic power worked together to smash the intact red magic spear directly at the moment of contact.

puff!
Even after the reduction of the two treasures, Zheng Shu's arm still carried a lot of power.

The fist with residual strength hit Diarmuid's chest, piercing through his skin and bones.

"Cough!" Diarmuid's actions stopped suddenly, and he could only cough up a cloud of blood weakly.

In front of his chest, Zheng Shu's fist had already sunk into his body, protruding from his back - Zheng Shu's fist directly pierced his body.

"You..." Diarmuid looked up into Zheng Shu's eyes, and being able to make such a decision showed that this berserker hadn't completely lost his mind as they understood at the beginning.

But the moment he saw Zheng Shu's eyes, his intuition as a warrior from the Age of Gods began to play a role: "Are you...helping me?"

Hearing his words, Zheng Shu's eyes became surprised for a moment, unable to understand how this guy came to such a conclusion, but then he smiled, and his agile appearance didn't look like a person who had lost his mind at all.

Diarmuid could not understand the information he read, but he still chose to trust his intuition.

"Although I don't know... But thank you, it's just a pity... I couldn't tell each other's names." Diarmuid's eyes dimmed, and the power of returning light quickly pulled away from his body.

Looking at Diarmuid whose body had already started to turn into spirit particles, Zheng Shu pulled back his arm, and the blood on his arm also turned into spirit particles and dissipated along with Diarmuid's body.

After being silent for a while, Zheng Shu walked towards Jian Tongying.

"Berserker, are you not injured?" Jian Tongying also ran to Zheng Shu's side, grabbed his palm and examined it carefully.

"Who can hurt this guy!" This was the inner complaint of everyone present.

Zheng Shu didn't care about those guys around, just looked at Matou Ying and shook his head slightly.

"Okay, then let's go back today." Matou Sakura's expression immediately became very happy.

Zheng Shu nodded, stretched out his hand to hold Matou Ying's hand, and left here with her.

The other people present were silent for a moment as they watched the figures leaving, one big and one small.
