Diabolical Hardcore!/Rulings

Player A: Activates "Diabolical Hardcore!" during the final phase.

Player B: Counters with cards like Dragon Breath, Dragonic Shoot, etc. to destroy the < > unit in Player A's center field.

Q: Will "Diabolical Hardcore!" still resolve even after the required unit was destroyed after being cast ?

Bushiroad's Email response:

In this situation, 'Diabolical Hardcore' is already being cast,therefore, the effect will still resolve if Player B destroys the <<72 Pillar>> monster in the center.
