"It seems… this will be a tough battle."
Sirzechs narrowed his eyes, pleased by the strength of his sister's familiars.
He'd initially thought Rias was relying solely on the devil reincarnated from eleven devil pieces, but that wasn't the case.
While few in number, each of Rias's familiars was undeniably powerful.
"Two Knights… eliminated." Yuuto smiled, leaning on his twin swords as he slowly stood up. The simple act of turning forced the two Pawns to retreat several steps.
"A promising recruit. Rias has acquired a fine familiar," Grayfia, who had also witnessed Yuuto's performance, praised.
After her praise, noticing the other battlefield, Grayfia activated the loudspeaker and announced coldly,
"One 'Rook' and three 'Pawns' of Master Riser Phenex are out."
Silence continued in the hall as everyone watched the small girl kneeling in the ruined gymnasium courtyard.
While the final blow was delivered by Akeno, the Queen, with her thunder, the large-scale attack had a long preparation time and was slow, easily allowing opponents to escape. Koneko's containment was perfect.
However, the exhausted Koneko was soon attacked and eliminated.
The attack came from a winged figure floating in the air—a cloaked woman resembling a mage.
Riser's Queen-class familiar, Yubelluna, his strongest piece.
"One 'Rook' of Miss Rias Gremory is out."
Grayfia's voice remained emotionless. The Phenex family having slightly regained the upper hand, the hall buzzed again.
"Hee hee hee. During a hunt, the prey is most vulnerable when acting. That's the easiest time to strike.
We sacrificed a few, but taking out one of yours is enough. You were already short-handed. That's a significant blow, right?
Even if you defeat us, you can't defeat Master Riser. It's all pointless. " Yubelluna, the mage-like figure, said cheerfully.
"Hmph… you…" Crackling with thunder, Akeno said angrily, having been ambushed while attacking.
"Three 'Pawns' of Master Riser Phenex are out." As Akeno and Yubelluna spoke, Grayfia's voice again echoed from the loudspeaker.
"What a powerful 'Knight.' But his performance ends here," Yubelluna said, slightly surprised, immediately trying to head towards the courtyard.
"Not a chance. You're facing me!" Golden lightning flashed past Yubelluna, Akeno's cold voice ringing out.
"Looks like I'll have to deal with you first, 'Thunderbolt Witch'!" Abandoning her plan to hunt the 'Knight,' Yubelluna pointed her staff at Akeno.
In the courtyard, Yuuto's battlefield.
"I admit you're strong, 'Knight,' but it ends here." Spreading her flame-wreathed wings, Ravel, looking like a proud princess, looked down at the battered Yuuto.
Ravel was astonished by the boy's performance. He had instantly killed two 'Knights,' then persisted against a Rook, a Bishop, and five Pawns, eliminating three Pawns.
Worthy of being a familiar of Rias, the red-haired Princess of Annihilation.
"Surrender, 'Knight.' You have no strength left to wield your sword." Ravel pointed down at the bloodied Yuuto, leaning on his sword.
"W… who knows? I think I can take one more with me." Various swords lay scattered around Yuuto, giving him the air of a tragic hero.
"Hmph, stubborn fool. Isabela, finish him."
"Understood, Ravel-sama!"
Without underestimating him, not only Isabela but also the remaining Bishop and two Pawns attacked.
Now! Yuuto's eyes narrowed. He raised his greatsword and plunged it into the ground.
"Demon Sword! Creation!" With Yuuto as the center, a field of swords bloomed!
A roar, the earsplitting sound of clashing blades, filled the courtyard. In an instant, the courtyard transformed into a sea of blades, countless swords pointing towards the heavens, destroying everything around them.
Infinite Blade Works!
Yuuto's ultimate technique, his trump card. Unfortunately, the range was small, so he'd waited for the enemy to swarm him!
"Impossible…"
"Is that the power of a forbidden divine artifact?"
Riser's familiars cried out in anguish. Their bodies were pierced by the swords erupting from the ground.
Their bodies emitted light and vanished.
Eliminated!
"Two 'Pawns,' one 'Rook,' and one 'Bishop' of Master Riser Phenex are out." Grayfia's cold voice echoed instantly.
That was my limit… but I didn't disgrace the President.
Yuuto, smiling wryly, collapsed into the forest of swords he'd created. Then, to his astonishment, the broadcast announced:
"One 'Queen' of Miss Rias Gremory is out!"
"One 'Knight' of Miss Rias Gremory is out!"
Exhausted, Yuuto also disappeared.
The ownerless swords made a dreamy sound as they shattered one by one.
Fragments of the swords, glittering silver, danced across the field, creating a fantasy-like atmosphere. Within seconds, all the swords vanished.
"What a spectacular performance, 'Knight.' You've earned the Phenex family's respect, but… unfortunately, my brother still wins this game." Ravel smiled triumphantly, hearing the two consecutive announcements.
"Ravel-sama." At that moment, Yubelluna, Riser's Queen, appeared unharmed beside Ravel.
"You used that?" Ravel raised an eyebrow.
"Reluctantly, but in a one-on-one fight, I'm no match for the 'Thunderbolt Witch.'" Yubelluna said wryly, holding an empty vial.
Phenex Tears, a powerful healing potion, instantly curing any injury. Akeno's loss wasn't unjust.
"Victory is all that matters. Now, only Rias-nee remains." Ravel smiled.
They'd obviously forgotten someone—someone in the Gremory home base, someone who was growing restless.
