My gratitude for bunching up," smirked the huntress as the rain of red arrows lit up the night sky.
There was a brief moment of serenity, almost like the calm before the storm as everyone stared at the beautiful light show illuminating the night sky before the red arrows began their descent to the earth. Then all the audience could see was a hail of crimson arrows as the light projectiles rained down on the Devils, the arrows' light element poisoning their bodies with every strike. Mira turned back to face the huntress as she felt her body get pierced by numerous arrows, watching as the girl disappeared back into the forest. 'We never stood a chance,' she realized in resignation before finally succumbing to the pain and blacking out.
Sirzechs and the rest of the Maou just watched the crimson rain in shock, "did she just say…what I think she did?" asked Serafall in shock, getting nods from her fellow Maous.
"Tauropolos…but it can't be that weapon was lost years ago!" exclaimed Ajuka in shock.
"What's lost can eventually be found again," pointed out Sirzechs with a frown. "The more important question is where did they get it and why is it functioning like that? Legends said that only the champion of Artemis could use Phoebus Catastrophe."
"There's no way a member of the Celts could ever use that weapon," agreed Ajuka as his eyes narrowed. "Sirzechs just what is going on here?
The Maou looked over to Scathach and her party, noting the lack of the descendant of Cu Chulainn, before he began to walk over to them. Ajuka seeing his expression and following close behind him as they approached, causing Scathach to give him a smug smile as she turned to face him.
"Maou, are you enjoying the fight?" she asked, smugly.
"What game are you playing at Scathach? You told me a member of the Celts would be fighting Riser, not a missing champion of the Greeks!" he growled, softly.
Upon hearing this Asia moved to hide behind Zelretch while Scathach's smile just widened, "when did I tell you that? I merely said a member of my faction would fight Riser, how was I supposed to know you thought I meant the Celts?"
"Scathach…you know as well as I that the Greeks will be angry at this, and they might even take it out on us Devils for not informing them," sighed the Crimson Satan tiredly.
The witch shrugged, "if you think we've cheated you somehow then by all means call off this fight, I doubt you sister will get another chance like this though."
"Whatever you decide Sirzechs, I'm with you," assured Ajuka, making the Maou smile at his friend before turning back to face the fight with a conflicted expression.
The Maou briefly thought about imprisoning the witch and just simply handing her over to the Greeks after the fight when he remembered the old man standing behind her, watching the scene unfolding before him like a child watching his favourite movie. 'I still don't know the extent of his abilities, even with Ajuka here I don't know if we could win,' he sighed.
"Alright Scathach you win, but just answer me one thing," frowned the Maou.
"And what's that?" asked the Godslayer, curiously.
"This new faction you're a part of…what is it?" questioned Sirzechs, making an amused smile appear on her face.
"One of a kind," she replied, before turning back to the fight.
"R-R-Riser Phenex's Pawns have all been eliminated!" yelled the commentator, causing the remaining members of Riser's peerage to blink in shock.
"What?!" cried Ravel as she heard the announcement.
That shouldn't have been possible, they had all Promoted! They were all Queens! What could be so powerful that it was able to defeat multiple Queens?!
"Um Ravel what do we do now?" whispered Yubelluna with a worried expression, only for them both to see an arrow come soaring out of the tree line and impact Riser in the head.
"Brother/ Riser-sama!" cried his peerage as they saw the Nekoshou emerge from the trees and quickly got into defensive positions.
"Thou's regeneration is impressive, let us see how it compares to Berserker of Red's," commented the girl, watching as half of Riser's face was swiftly regenerated.
"Thou might have the power of a Phoenix, but thou art still a Devil. No matter what, thou will always be weak when forced into the light," commented the huntress as she once again nocked her arrows and pointed Tauropolos towards the moon.
"With my bow and arrows, I respectfully ask for the divine protection of the Sun God Apollo and the Moon Goddess Artemis. I offer thee this calamity," she chanted, causing the arrows to glow a bright crimson.
"Phoebus Catastrophe: Compliant Message on the Arrow!" she shouted, activating the Noble Phantasm as it rushed towards the moon, delivering its complaint to its Gods.
Once again, they heard the same sound of falling rain and Riser's peerage fearfully looked up at the sky, only to see one single large arrow of light come barreling towards Riser at an unimaginable speed. The Devil tried to dodge the attack but wasn't quick enough and he cried out in pain as the red arrow slammed into him, the light element poisoning his body.
To the observers it was a horrible sight, the bottom half Devil's body was simply blown away from the arrow, and to make matters worse his regeneration was slowing, the light element inflicting heavy damage on the Devil as it continued to poison his body. His remaining peerage members quickly dragged him out of the huntress' sight while Karlamine and Siris charged the archer, distracting her while the rest quickly used a Phoenix Tear on Riser's struggling body.
"That damn Nekoshou!" growled Riser as his body finally regenerated, the Phoenix Tears and his own regeneration purging the light element from his body.
Meanwhile the two Devil Knights were struggling to fight with the huntress, finding out the hard way that their speed was useless here. No matter how hard they pushed themselves, the huntress was just too quick, easily outmaneuvering them despite holding the large bow in her hand. Siris watched as the girl ducked under her swing before grabbing the Devil's wrist and throwing Siris into Karlamine, the two Knights colliding with each other and collapsing to the ground.
The huntress then readied another arrow only to be hit with what felt like a bomb as her Magic Resistance failed to cancel out the attack, making the huntress quickly glance at Yubelluna whom was already creating another magic circle. Realizing the threat the Queen posed she immediately shot her readied arrow at the Devil, sending Yubelluna tumbling to the earth as the force from Tauropolos impacted with the power of an A ranked attack and easily overwhelmed her Queen defense.
The huntress growled in frustration as the two Devil Knights used this time to untangle themselves while Ravel rushed over with their final vial of Phoenix Tears, quickly administering it before the Queen had to be forcibly retired. Unfortunately, upon seeing this the Devil Knights lowered their guard as relief flooded them, it was only a momentary relapse but for the huntress it was all she needed. Jumping over Siris' Zweihänder the huntress kicked her in the gut before pushing her away with a shoulder charge, knocking the Devil to the ground.
Seeing that Siris was temporarily dealt with the huntress turned her attention back to Karlamine as she leapt backwards, using her greater speed to her advantage as she retreated back into the forest with her prey following close behind. The Devil Knight stopped at the edge of the clearing, wary of following the huntress into the darken woods alone.
"Look, this is the fruit of fate. This glorious treasure once sparked the burning of Troy. Come closer if you wish for it," beckoned a voice from within the woods.
Karlamine frowned before she saw her beloved Riser appear in the edge of the tree line fearfully looking at something behind him as he urgently beckoned her closer, causing the Knight's mind to focus in on him. He was in danger! He needed her! Her King was in danger and as his Knight she would not allow that!
The rest of the peerage could do nothing as they saw a dazed expression appear on the Knight's face, before her eyes widened and she ran into the forest with an urgent look on her face. "Hold
on Riser-sama!" screamed the Knight as she disappeared into the forest.
