Karlamine STOP!" ordered Riser, realizing what had happened but it was too late and they quickly heard a female cry of pain echo from within the forest.
"Riser Phenex's Knight has retired!" shouted the announcer, making all the Devil's grit their teeth in frustration.
"Everyone get away from the trees, stay in the centre of the clearing and stick together!" ordered Ravel, and the peerage followed her directions as they formed a loose circle around Riser.
Elsewhere in the woods two cat-like eyes narrowed as they saw the Devil's new formation, indeed the child was a good tactician to give such orders. But they were underestimating the skill of the Chaste Huntress, no matter the conditions her arrows would not miss their marks, even at this range.
All Mihae felt was a sudden pain in her chest before she suddenly blacked out, to the rest of the Devils the Bishop was there one second before an arrow embedded itself in her breast and Mihae collapsed to the ground before her body disappeared.
"Riser Phenex's Bishop has been retired!" cried the commentator as the crowd was on the edge of their seats at the sudden turnaround of the match.
"Damn it, how can she hit us? Just who the hell are we dealing with?" snarled Riser as a second arrow came flying at his head, only for Siris to quickly push him to the ground.
"That's it! If that damn Nekoshou wants to hide in the trees then so be it! Ravel come with me, the rest of you act as our bodyguards," snarled Riser, getting nods from his remaining peerage members as they advanced towards the tree line.
Suddenly Riser had an enormous cone of fire erupt from his hands as he began burning the surrounding forest to cinders, with Ravel following his example after a moment's hesitation. The two members of the Phoenix clan continued trying to smoke out the huntress as they slowly pushed further into the woods, the smoke blocking the moonlight as flames danced along the forest floor.
"Brother, we should fall back we're going too far into the forest and wasting too much power in doing this," advised Ravel, causing a low growl to escape the older sibling.
"NO! That damned Nekoshou will pay for insulting me like this!" snarled Riser as his rage began burning even hotter than the flames surrounding them.
"Searching for me Devil?" asked an amused voice.
The Devils all spun around and readied their weapons as they saw the green clad huntress emerge from within the smoke, the flames seeming to part before her as she approached them. Riser just snarled as his two Rooks moved to shield him from her bow, their Rook defense giving them the best chance at surviving the hit.
The huntress just gazed at the two peerage members before she glared at Riser, "I fear to ask but…why are all thou's peerage female?"
"Ha, they are my harem. Of course they would all be female," he replied with a laugh, causing the huntress' eyes to narrow.
"So thou had no intention of being faithful to Rias in the first place? Even after thou forced her into a marriage contract?" she asked, in a deadly calm voice.
Riser just scoffed, "why should I? Rias will be mine regardless of what she wants, so why should I need to care about things like that?"
The Nekoshou just tightened the grip on her bow before she turned her gaze to Ravel, "and what about that one?"
Riser smirked as he beckoned Ravel closer and gently caressed her cheeks, "this is my dear little sister Ravel, and one of my favourite types."
Riser and the rest of his peerage then took a fearful step back as they saw the huntress glance at Ravel again, before a look of rage crossed her face as she slowly walked towards them. "That is a child…thou's own flesh and blood! Does thou have no shame? Treating her like that! Treating all of them as if they're are mere toys!" growled the girl as she glared at the Devils.
Suddenly they all saw the gems decorating her body begin glowing a bright green as the Nekoshou closed her eyes, her tail now standing rigid against her back. "I wasn't going to use this but now…Riser Phenex…now thou hast made me mad," she snarled, opening her eyes to reveal them glowing the same colour as the gems.
Not a word was spoken from Riser or his peerage, even the crowd watching the Rating Game was in silent shock as they saw a blood crimson energy explode out from the girl and blast into her opponents, knocking them off their feet as the winds quickly smothered what flames remained. As they slowly got to their feet, the Devils saw small green spheres beginning to float around the huntress. Shadows obscuring her face and leaving only her glowing eyes visible as they heard soft sobs begin to echo across the forest.
"We are the ones who laugh at the Infinite," chanted the huntress, sounding as if hundreds of voices were speaking at once.
Everyone watched as the red dragon woven into her clothing began to move, climbing up from her long black boots and uncurling from the apple before reaching out to the green sleeves and coming to rest on her left shoulder. Then the Devils all gasped as they saw a snarling red dragon head materialize on her left shoulder as spots of black began to appear on her green clothes, like blood spreading across still water.
"We are the ones who grieve at the Dream," she continued, the green orbs floating around her multiplying and growing louder as the energy swirling around the huntress increased and began spreading out from her body.
Riser and his peerage looked at the approaching energy fearfully as they saw it strip the leaves from the trees, while all but the strongest of plants snapped like twigs as the red outline passed over them. The huntress then took another step forward as a black pelt seemed to materialize over her clothes, her gauntlet's fingers becoming sharp talons and her teeth morphing into sharp canines.
"We are the ones who chose the path of ruin," called the girl in a harsh voice as the light from the moon vanished behind the clouds, leaving only her glowing gems to bathe the forest in its ominous green light.
As the pelt covered her body, a second glow of a pure black appeared around her form alongside the crimson aura before the two energies began to intertwine, creating an oppressive and threating atmosphere as the last of the remaining plant life surrounding them was destroyed. The Devils could only watch and tremble as they saw a pure black snarling boar head appear on the huntress' right shoulder, contrasting the bright crimson dragon head on her left.
"We are what the world desires," she announced, as Riser fearfully threw a large fireball at her, only to see it hit nothing as the huntress gave a lazy half turn.
"What are all of you waiting for? Attack! Before she finishes that spell!" he ordered his peerage, causing them to snap out of their fear induced states and ready their ranged spells.
His peerage fired their spells at the huntress, only to see the attacks fizzle and fade away to nothing once they reached their target, as if something had canceled out the spells themselves. All the Devils had their jaws drop at this before they tried again with similar results.
"We are what the world rejects," continued the huntress, ignoring the failing attacks as the ground beneath them starting to shake and everyone felt the power surrounding her increase even further.
Back in the observation stands Sirzechs and the rest of his fellow Maou were watching the event unfolding before them on the screen with a strange sense of foreboding. "This power it almost feels like…no that's not possible, there's been no sigh of it appearing since it's last wielder," frowned Beelzebub, getting worried looks from his fellow Maou as they watched the fight.
"Ajuka, what's wrong?" asked Sirzechs, only to get silence from his friend as the Devil continued studying the transforming huntress, making the Crimson Satan frown before turning his attention back to the fight.
"We are power," stated the numerous voices, as the last patches of green on the girl's clothing disappeared and was replaced by black with red and purple lines joining each of the gems over her body.
Riser and his peerage instantly took to the skies as soon as they felt the ground shake, fearing some form of attack from bellow, their black bat-like wings completely camouflaged against starless night, while Riser and Ravel's burned like bright beacons. Realizing that low level magic wasn't going to work, Yubelluna readied one of her signature fire 'bomb' spells and sent it at the huntress.
Suddenly everyone gasped as they heard the sound of bones shifting and changing as two giant red skeletal wing-like structures erupted from the girl's back before moving to block the spell, which appeared to do no damage to it as the bomb detonated and left not a single blemish. Riser turned to order his Queen to attack once more, only to find Yubelluna and the rest of his peerage trembling in fright, the King was about to berate his peerage when he caught sight o
f the huntress' green glowing eyes and found his protests died unspoken.
