Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1312 Threat
He, the once high and mighty magician, has now fallen from the clouds to the dust, and is even on the verge of a mental breakdown.

The magic circuits were destroyed and then reconnected, becoming scrap, and the continuous setbacks were like an invisible blade, cutting through his inner pride and self-esteem bit by bit.

But the most fatal blow came from the person closest to him - his fiancée Sora.

Sora, this seemingly weak but actually cruel woman, took advantage of Kenneth's most vulnerable moment and forced him to transfer Diarmuid's Command Seals. This move undoubtedly pushed Kenneth into an endless abyss.

At that moment, Kenneth's eyes were filled with despair and unwillingness. He seemed to see the end of his glorious life and the dream that was once out of reach, now turned into a bubble.

Seeing this, Luther couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart. Although he was happy to witness this dramatic change, deep down in his heart, he also felt a little sympathy for Kenneth's experience.

So, he decided to add fuel to the already chaotic situation, and told Kiritsugu Emiya where Sora and Kayneth were hiding.

After just transferring the Command Seals, Sora was still in the mood that he had gotten what he wanted and could finally do whatever he wanted to Diarmuid through the Command Seals.

“Bang bang bang bang bang!!!”

With both guns firing from Emiya Kiritsugu and Hisau Maiya, Sora never expected that anyone would know they were hiding here, in an abandoned building.

Sora's body was like a kite with a broken string, torn apart by the force of the bullets, and blood bloomed in the air like a gorgeous but short-lived flower.

Her eyes were filled with shock and confusion, and it seemed that until the last moment of her life, she could not believe that she would end up like this.

Kenneth watched Sora die with his pupils dilated.

Although he hated Sora, he didn't hate him to the point of killing him. In the original work, he signed a contract with Emiya Kiritsugu and others in exchange for himself and Sora not being harmed by Emiya Kiritsugu. In the end, he was killed by Hisau Maiya at the request of Emiya Kiritsugu.

It can be said that this is also the reason why Luther let Kiritsugu Emiya take action. He would never miss the opportunity to eliminate the master and servant pair of Diarmuid.

"Kiritsugu, I hit her in the head. She shouldn't be able to give orders to Lancer."

Hisau Maiya said.

However, the situation on the battlefield always changes rapidly.

Diarmuid realized his Master's disappearance almost instantly. The disconnection of the magic power was like an invisible bond being suddenly torn apart, causing an unprecedented anger and grief to surge in his heart.

His figure was like a flash of lightning, and he instantly appeared at the location where Kenneth and Sora were. His speed was so fast that it seemed to have crossed the limitations of space.

"Master!"

Diarmuid's voice was low and hoarse, filled with unspeakable sorrow.

His eyes fell on Kenneth's immobile body, and then quickly turned to Sora who was lying on the ground.

Her body was riddled with holes, her blood had stained the surrounding ground red, and the breath of life had long since dissipated.

Diarmuid gently helped her up with trembling hands, but it was too late. Sora's once vibrant eyes closed forever.

When Kenneth saw Diarmuid appear, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Lancer, go kill Saber's Master!"

He shouted this order with almost all his strength.

For Kenneth, Diarmuid is his only support at this moment and his last chance to turn the tables.

"As you command, Master!"

Diarmuid's voice was firm and resolute.

He knew very well that he didn't have much time left, and the loss of magic power made him feel weaker than ever before.

But even so, he would use up his last bit of strength for the safety of his Master and for his loyalty.

His anger was like a burning flame, driving him to give up protecting his Master and turn to kill the enemy. Only in this way could he resolve the Master's crisis and find some comfort in his heart.

He was like an angry lion, moving rapidly towards Emiya Kiritsugu and Hisau Maiya.

Every step was taken firmly and powerfully, as if to crush the ground.

There was a murderous gleam in his eyes, which was an endless hatred for his enemy.

"Lancer is here!"

Hisau Maiya said to Emiya Kiritsugu.

She was well aware of Diarmuid's strength and knew that she was no match for him.

Therefore, the moment Diarmuid appeared, she made the decision to escape.

She didn't even want her gun anymore, she just rappelled down from the building.

The wind whistled in her ears and her heartbeat pounded against her chest like a war drum.

Kiritsugu Emiya took a deep breath, raised the gun towards Diarmuid, and gently pulled the trigger.

Gunshots rang out, and the bullets streaked across the night sky like meteors, flying towards Diarmuid.

He had to buy time for Hisau Maiya to escape. This was the only thing he could do now.

He is quite far away and does not need to retreat for the time being.

However, is Diarmuid someone easy to deal with?

He waved the only remaining demon-breaking red rose in the air, and easily knocked away the bullet shot by Emiya Kiritsugu, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

He judged at a glance that Emiya Kiritsugu was much farther away than Hisahi Maiya, so he chose the nearest target - Hisahi Maiya.

Emiya Kiritsugu's brows were tightly furrowed, and a hint of anxiety flashed in his eyes.

He did not give up. His brain was working fast, looking for a way to force Diarmuid to give up the pursuit.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he had an idea.

He fired a shot at Kenneth's location. Although it was impossible to actually hurt Kenneth due to the angle, it was a perfect bait.

He knew that Diarmuid's loyalty to Kayneth was unquestionable, and he would never allow anyone to harm his Master.

Sure enough, the moment Diarmuid heard the gunshot, his body suddenly stopped.

There was a hint of hesitation and struggle in his eyes, a conflict between loyalty to his Master and hatred for his enemy.

He looked deeply in the direction of Kenneth, then looked at the fleeing Hisahi Maiya, and an indescribable complex emotion surged in his heart.

Seeing this, Kiritsugu Emiya immediately fired again in the direction of Kenneth.

Diarmuid couldn't bear it any longer, so he turned around and went back.

"This is enough to delay until Lancer disappears."

Kiritsugu Emiya did not stop firing to prevent Diarmuid from making a counterattack.

Kayneth endured the intimidation from Emiya Kiritsugu.
