Chapter 701: Devouring
Sensing the pressure coming, the anger in Diarmaida's eyes subsided. Although he didn't agree with his opponent's actions, he wasn't inferior in strength, so he had to take this fight seriously.
Diarmuid thrust his golden spear into the ground.
Although his Golden Rose of Mutilation spear made healing the wounds inflicted by it impossible, it was far less powerful than the Crimson Rose of Exorcism. For the most part, he could only use his golden spear for instant killing. If he was facing an equal enemy, he preferred to use the Crimson Rose of Exorcism.
As Su Xiao was rushing towards Diarmuid, a dozen shields appeared around him and they immediately flew apart.
The long blade of his sword shot out. This was just a test, and Diarmuid subconsciously used the Crimson Rose of Exorcism to block this attack.
*Ding*
Sparks flew to the ground. Diarmuid felt a huge force press down on his hands, and his feet sank into the ground.
— This power...
But before Diarmuid could adjust to the pressure, Su Xiao kicked him in the side with all his might.
Diarmuid's reaction wasn't slow — he immediately bent one leg and tried to use his calf to block Su Xiao's side kick.
With a crash, Diarmuid's body flew back a few steps, and his leg went numb.
*Ding~*
Faint threads suddenly appeared around him and immediately tried to wrap around his body from all sides.
Diarmuid immediately stuck the Crimson Exorcism Rose into the ground and stood on it. The threads wrapped around the spear and Su Xiao pulled them towards him, causing the tip of the spear to leave a mark in the ground.
When Diarmuid decided to return to earth, Su Xiao stepped forward. He didn't attack immediately, but waited until Diarmuid landed on the ground.
As soon as Diarmuid's toes touched the ground, Su Xiao delivered a slashing blow.
The dragon's flash drew a pale golden arc in the air...
Now, the dragon's Flash looked so dangerous that it would make anyone feel fearful.
Since Diarmuid had just landed on the ground, his stance was unstable. His enemy's attack was made at such a tricky angle that he could neither retreat nor move forward.
In battle, everything depended on the person's experience, but in addition to experience, the outcome of the battle was influenced by many other factors. Even though a person was strong, it didn't always mean that they would definitely win in battle.
Diarmuid had no choice. He could only block this attack, but he clearly understood that if he was forced to continue blocking these attacks, he would end up at a great disadvantage because his opponent's punches were very strong.
Just as Diarmuid was preparing to fend off Su Xiao's attack, Su Xiao's longsword suddenly stopped and he took a few quick steps back.
*BOOM!*
Fire shot out from under Diarmuid's feet.
Something in the ground beneath his feet exploded.
Fragments of alchemy bombs flew apart, and Diarmuid's body was engulfed in flames.
Su Xiao held his left hand out in front of his face so that the stones wouldn't get into his eyes.
When the flames subsided a little, Su Xiao swung the Dragon Flash a couple of times towards the smoke and dust, sending out a few light blue energy blades.
*Ding-ding-ding...*
Diarmuid burst out of the smoke and flames, fending off his opponent's attacks in the process. His entire body was covered in burns, and one of his legs was torn to pieces.
As soon as he was out of the cloud of smoke and dust, Diarmuid glared at his opponent, but Su Xiao had already taken the initiative to attack him.
The Crimson Exorcism Rose hit the shield, but it couldn't penetrate it. This shocked Diarmuid. In his opinion, this shield was clearly made up of energy, so why did it withstand the attack of his red spear?
The answer was that Qing Gang Yin's energy level was different from that of the Crimson Rose Exorcism. Yes, his red spear could indeed pierce through magic and magical things, but the difference in energy levels couldn't be ignored.
If the magic level of this world was 3, then Qing Gang Yin's energy level was at least 10, and as Qing Gang Yin's level increased, the level of that energy also gradually increased.
When Diarmuid saw that his spear couldn't pierce through the shield, he knew that he was going to lose.
Now he realized that he couldn't make a single small mistake in a fight with such an opponent.
But the moment the Crimson Exorcism Rose was blocked by the shield, Su Xiao had already attacked it with his sword.
Almost instantly, the long blade pierced through the Servant's body, and a large amount of blood was spilled on the ground.
This attack was too fast, and combined with the sharpness of the Dragon's Flash, Diarmuid didn't even feel anything.
Only two seconds later, Diarmuid felt a severe pain in his left shoulder. Looking sideways, he saw that his left arm was missing. Blood flowed in an endless stream from the stump of his arm, and blue energy occasionally flashed on that wound.
With a thud, his left hand fell to the ground.
The blood that had splashed onto Diarmuid's face began to roll down his chin, and he couldn't help but chuckle miserably as he realized his situation.
— What's your name? I won't be defeated by an unknown person, right?
Hearing Diarmaida's question, Su Xiao remained silent.
He never said anything stupid during a fight.
Raising his left hand, Su Xiao enveloped it with his energy, and light blue arcs immediately enveloped the Servant's hand.
Su Xiao held the sword in his right hand, and a light blue energy shot out from his left hand.
After a moment, he decided to carry out his plan and launched the devouring core.
In theory, all Servants were made up of energy, not flesh and blood, so they were basically advanced energy creatures, and any energy that the devouring core could absorb.
Light blue smoke enveloped Diarmuid's severed arm. Blood quickly began to flow out of the stump and be absorbed by this strange energy.
A moment later, the severed arm turned into a ball of golden energy, and this ball sank into Su Xiao's palm.
It didn't absorb this energy directly — it had to be processed first.
This orb, after entering his body, will end up in the devouring core, where the golden energy of the Servant will begin to transform, purify and filter, and finally become the desired colorless energy.
When the colorless energy burst out from the devouring core, the Qing Gang Yin energy in Su Xiao's body immediately activated, as if it had seen a very delicious meal, and absorbed this colorless energy in an instant.
Su Xiao immediately noticed that the Qing Gang Yin energy in his body was getting bigger, and she was rapidly getting stronger.
Although it hadn't progressed to a new level, he could feel that this energy had become stronger.
— Compared to the energy of the tailed ones, this energy is less, but it is more pure, " a cold blue light flashed in Su Xiao's eyes. Although the devouring core was very strong, when using this ability, it was easy to go crazy due to the power obtained.
Ten seconds later, the blue light disappeared from Su Xiao's eyes. When he looked at Diarmuid again, Diarmuid subconsciously took a step back.
But Su Xiao didn't immediately attack Diarmuid. He decided to wait to see if anything would happen to the Holy Grail due to absorbing some of the energy of one of the Servants.
However, the Holy Grail didn't make a move in the end, so even though it was a great artifact, even it seemed to be helpless in some matters.
— After removing the blood from the Dragon Flash, Su Xiao slowly began to draw closer to Diarmuid.
Even though Diarmuid was a Servant, his severed arm couldn't be restored, regardless of whether or not he possessed any recovery ability.
Even his Master couldn't help him recover his lost arm.
After all, Dragonflash was at its peak right now.
[Initial Weapon Attribute 2: Eternal Wound (Passive). Sharpness +10. If the attack results in a severed limb, the creature will not be able to restore the severed limb through surgery, potions, skills, bloodline abilities, and other abilities below Rank 4 (this ability evolved from " Cuts Iron like Dirt»).]
