Chapter 73: Shattered Knighthood!

"Angra Mainyu! You are truly disgusting!!"

"Disgusting? I don't think so?"

"How about you let Jeanne Alter go?"

"Let her go? Wouldn't I lose my last trump card then!!!"

Arthur's expression became even more furious. It seemed he hadn’t expected such a shameless person to exist in the world!! Arthur gripped the sword in his hand more cautiously. However, Angra Mainyu opposite him slowly relaxed. Angra Mainyu couldn’t help but give himself a mental thumbs-up for his wisdom!

"In that case, I won’t be polite!" Angra Mainyu had already forgotten who he was! With Jeanne Alter’s help, the current Angra Mainyu dared to challenge Arthur head-on!

Right-Hand Evil Bite!!!

In Angra Mainyu’s hand, a black, strangely shaped object appeared!! Angra Mainyu reached Arthur in an instant with speed exceeding human limits, and the weapon in his hand attacked directly!!!

Black lightning tore through everything before it, but the power of light would not be buried!! Arthur’s Sword of Promised Victory was a powerful Noble Phantasm, and its power was certainly not comparable to Angra Mainyu’s weapon. The two exchanged blows, but as an originally ordinary human, even with the enhancement of magical and evil energy, he was far from Arthur, who possessed Instinct!!!

Soon, under Arthur’s superb martial arts, Angra Mainyu could only be repelled again and again. Gradually, he constantly attacked again!!

"Go die! You hypocritical bastards!!!"

"Even so, life still has value."

Angra Mainyu attacked continuously, but all he received was the fate of being suppressed. Finally, after several rounds, Angra Mainyu was kicked away by Arthur!

Looking at the fallen Angra Mainyu, a deep suspicion arose in Arthur’s heart.

"You... are probably not Angra Mainyu!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!!" Angra Mainyu stood up. He looked at Arthur before him and took out his weapon again, but Arthur didn’t attack directly. "Jeanne Alter, go!!"

With Angra Mainyu’s command, the flustered him seemed to want to hide something! Jeanne Alter rushed over, but before she could reach Arthur’s position, her figure was blocked!

"Jeanne Alter? What’s wrong?" The newcomer was Jeanne, who had just arrived. Her speed was clearly slower than Arthur’s, but now, she hadn’t arrived too late!!!

"Jeanne," Arthur called out, "Jeanne Alter is up to you. She’s being controlled right now. After I deal with this guy, you stabilize her first!"

Arthur looked at Jeanne before him, a sigh of relief in his heart. As long as Jeanne Alter was stopped, he wouldn’t show any mercy to Angra Mainyu before him!!!

Arthur’s fighting spirit finally reached its peak!!!

---

On the other side of the battlefield, Artoria and Diarmuid were still fighting.

The erupting destructive force could almost destroy everything before them. The clash of spear and sword finally slowly came to an end!!

Before the two, only their afterimages remained. Artoria looked at Diarmuid before her and said with a smile, "As expected of Diarmuid."

"No, that sentence should be mine to say," Diarmuid said humbly. In the battle just now, with Artoria’s early defense, Diarmuid’s two spears hadn’t played their role. Instead, Artoria’s attacks were sharp! Pressing forward step by step!!!

"It seems our battle will continue," Artoria said seriously, looking at the Lancer before her. At this moment, a wave of evil magical energy was sensed by both of them! "What is this? Why is such a thing happening?!"

Artoria looked ahead, and Diarmuid also realized something was wrong! Diarmuid was indeed a true knight. He put down the spear in his hand. "Go quickly, your Master should still be waiting for you."

Diarmuid spoke magnanimously to Artoria. She nodded. She knew now was not the time for impulse—her Master was still waiting for her.

Just as Artoria was about to leave, a cold voice reached her ears!!!

"Lancer!! What are you doing!!!"

"My lord, something unexpected has happened!!!"

"What unexpected thing!! There are no unexpected things in all of this!" Kenneth slowly walked out of the darkness—or rather, was pushed out!!

"My lord! This violates the code of chivalry!! A knight never forces others!!!"

Diarmuid shouted resolutely at Kenneth, but Kenneth didn’t care about him at all.

"You are truly an annoying fellow!!!" Kenneth had completely gone mad!! Now, he had placed all his hatred on Diarmuid!!

"I!! Kenneth! In the name of the Command Seal!! I command you!!"

As Kenneth finished speaking, the Command Seal on his hand flashed!!

"Before death! Saber is absolutely not allowed to leave here!!!"

The Command Seal shone, and another disappeared! Sola wanted to stop him, but it was too late. A red light enveloped Diarmuid, and his body seemed to be controlled!!

"You!!"

A look of resentment appeared in Diarmuid’s eyes! Again! Again, they used the Command Seal to destroy the honor of a knight!!

Diarmuid only wanted to thoroughly carry out the knight’s code once! But why! Why did they repeatedly subvert his dream!!

Diarmuid stared at them with wide eyes. He saw the madness on Kenneth’s face—he was laughing, as if mocking his pathetic chivalry!

"Damn it!!!"

Diarmuid’s originally handsome face twisted!! He shouted angrily at everyone! "Aren’t you even a little ashamed!!!"

But his consciousness had already been controlled by the Command Seal. All that remained was to become its puppet!!

In the last second before his consciousness disappeared, he seemed to hear that man say to him:

"Join me."

Diarmuid remembered the medal he had almost forgotten—but it was too late.

Diarmuid lost his last bit of consciousness and once again rushed madly toward Artoria. She could only helplessly continue to meet his attacks!! At this moment, Artoria had no way to escape. Her only option was to defeat Diarmuid before her!!!

Wind King Barrier!!!

Artoria unleashed the power of her Noble Phantasm, desperately hoping to defeat Diarmuid as quickly as possible.

"Arthur, I might not be able to help you with the path ahead for now! Be careful"
