Chapter 1006 Ranking Game

Rias was not slow. The next day she sent news that she had decided with the Phoenix family that the time for the ranking game would be in the evening two days later. Fortunately, the devil's characteristics were a big help to Duanmu Huai. , otherwise he wouldn’t even be able to ask for leave in broad daylight.

Eleven o'clock at night.

Everyone gathered at the Occult Research Club. Not only Himejima Akeno, Kiba Yuto and Tashiro Koneko were waiting, but even Naruse Mio and Maria came to join in the fun. Of course, the two of them will not participate in the ranking game. After all, this is a matter between the Gremory family and the Phoenix family. Naruse Mio is the heir to the Wilbert family, and Maria is a confidant of the Wilbert family. If they want to join in, the situation will become complicated.

By the way, Naruse Mio also learned about the ins and outs of this game, and her expression at the moment was also very complicated - after all, she is also the heir of the Wilbert family, and maybe the Rias of today will be the Rias of tomorrow. Naruse Mio, who can say for sure whether the Wilbert family will also find her a cheap fiancé or something...

Rias herself, on the other hand, seemed calm at the moment, drinking tea with Akeno Himejima very calmly. Koneko Tashiro was sitting on a chair reading a book, and Kiba Yuto next to him was equipped with gauntlets and a wooden sword beside him, as if he was preparing for a battle.

Strictly speaking, including Duanmu Huai, there are only five people on Rias' side participating in the game, and fifteen people on the opposite side...

Just before twelve o'clock, another magic circle appeared on the ground, and then, a silver-haired maid walked out of it.

"The time is coming, Miss Rias."

"I know, I'm ready."

Hearing the maid's words, Rias nodded, while the silver-haired maid remained silent for a moment and looked at Rias again.

"Please forgive me for being rude, Lady Rias. The opponent is the Phoenix family, known as the Phoenix family, and they have won eight out of ten games in the official ranking game. However, there are currently only five people on your side... Do you really think that Is this the right decision?"

"There's no point in talking about it now, Grayfia."

Rias shook her head and called the maid's name.

"...Okay, I understand. In addition, His Majesty the Demon King Lucifer will also watch this battle. Please don't forget this."

"Why?"

Hearing this, Rias showed a subtle expression.

"My brother will also watch it? That's right... my brother will also watch the battle..."

"Brother?"

Duanmu Huai and Naruse Mio naturally heard what Rias said, and couldn't help being surprised, looking at Rias in surprise.

"The Demon King is your brother? Your brother is Lucifer?"

After all, the name Lucifer is so familiar that Duanmuhuai never expected to meet him here.

"it's not true."

At this moment Himejima Akeno came over and explained to the two of them with a smile.

"In fact, in the previous war, the original four Demon King's Majesties have all passed away due to various reasons, but the demon system cannot operate without the Demon King, so we retained the name of the Demon King, and the demon with powerful power will inherit it. , the current four demon kings are all superior demons who inherited the name of the first generation demon king. The same is true for the president's brother. He has now given up the name of Gremory and changed his name to Serzechs Lucifer... …”

"I see."

Duanmu Huai nodded. He was previously curious as to why Rias wanted her to inherit the family even though she had a brother. It turned out that there was such a thing.

But that's fine, since the Demon King is watching the battle in person, then...he has to use some real skills.

"Time is up."

At this moment, the silver-haired maid made a calm announcement.

"Please come with me."

As the silver-haired maid finished speaking, the next moment, several teleportation circles appeared. Immediately afterwards, Duanmu Huai felt his eyes blur, and then when he opened his eyes...

"Isn't this still in the Occult Research Society?"

Looking at the room that was almost the same as before, Duanmu Huai looked confused. However, at this moment, the radio suddenly sounded, and then the voice of the silver-haired maid from before emerged from it.

"Everyone, I am Grayfia, the maid of the Gremory family. I will be the referee for this ranking game between the Gremory family and the Phoenix family. In the name of my master, Sirzechs Lucifer, I will witness this Please give me your advice on the battle between the two families. The battle field this time was prepared in a different dimension based on the opinions of Rias-sama and Lysa-sama, and is the same as the human world school Kuou that Rias-sama attended. A replica of the academy.”

"Wow."

Duanmu Huai whistled. Now he felt that this ranking game was really interesting. I originally thought that the transfer failed, but I didn't expect that they were transferred to another place. From the appearance, everything here is almost exactly the same as the school in the real world, except that the sky outside is not night, but day... ...Well, the devil’s technology is quite interesting.

Although strictly speaking it is useless.

"The current location of both camps is the base camp. Rias-sama's base camp is the Occult Research Club in the old school building. Lesa-sama's base camp is the student union office in the new school building. When soldiers want to 'promote', please go to the area around the opponent's base camp. .”

Ascension is a rule of chess, which means that when a soldier reaches the last row of the opposite side, he can turn into one of the queen, bishop, castle or knight. In reality, when the soldier devil reaches the opponent's base camp, he can turn into one of them. Choose to gain the power of one of these.

Although Duanmu Huai has played chess before, he really hasn't remembered this rule - after all, when he usually plays, the first ones to die are the soldiers. Who cares what kind of ghost they can become.

"Then...the game begins."

As the class bell rang, the ranking game officially began.

At this time, Rias also took out a map.

"Okay, first we have to find a way to defeat Lesa's soldiers..."

"No need to bother."

However, before Rias could finish her words, she was interrupted by Duanmu Huai. He was seen staring at the window and walked slowly over. At the same time, the dark power armor appeared on Duanmu Huai's body. He was seen holding the thunder hammer tightly and staring outside.

"So, now it's time to set up the troops, right?"

"Yes, Lesa will definitely choose to use superior forces to put pressure on us, so..."

"Don't worry."

Duanmuhuai shook his head.

"I said, this is my battle, you just need to drink tea and watch the show next to me!"

As soon as the words fell, Duanmu Huai shouted angrily, and suddenly hit the window in front of him. Then he crashed through the wall of the old school building like an angry bull, leaped high, and raised the thunder hammer in his hand!

"go to hell!"

When Duanmu Huai landed, the thunder hammer in his hand also hit the ground.

"————————!"

At this moment, a deafening roar almost enveloped the entire school.

At the same time, Rias and others who rushed to the window saw a scene they could not imagine.

As Duanmu Huai struck down with a hammer, the ground in front of him suddenly collapsed, as if thousands of tons of TNT explosives were buried under the ground and exploded completely at this moment. The thick ground bulged high, and cracks like spider webs erupted and spread forward. Then they saw the woods in front of them, and the school buildings overturned one after another, and rushed directly into the sky under the impact of the expanding airflow.

Even the old school building where Rias was located was also affected. The violent shaking like a magnitude 10 earthquake made the entire old school building feel like a small boat swept by the waves in a storm. Even demons such as Rias, At this moment, he was also unsteady and fell to the ground.

When they came back to their senses and looked outside again, everyone was shocked.

"Oh my god...what happened?"

Staring blankly at the battlefield in front of her, Rias was almost speechless - in front of her, the original mountain at the back, as well as the new school building and gymnasium in front, everything had completely disappeared. Only large areas of ruins and dust floating like mist remained.

Just one hit?

With just one strike, he destroyed the entire school! ?

Rias couldn't believe her eyes. She knew that Duanmu Huai was very powerful, but she had never thought that Duanmu Huai was so powerful! She had heard that in myths and legends, the first-generation Demon King had a glorious record of destroying a city with one strike. But that’s a myth!

And now, she actually witnessed a man destroying almost the entire school with just one blow!

Even the maid in charge of the referee seemed dumbfounded at the moment. It took a while before her voice sounded again. Although it was still as calm as ever, the slight tremor in it could not be concealed.

"Lesa Phoenix's eight soldiers, two knights, one bishop, two castles, and one queen...were eliminated."

According to the rules of the game, as long as you receive damage above a certain level and cannot sustain serious injuries during the battle, you will be eliminated and forced to teleport away from the battlefield.

Both sides had just arrived on the battlefield and had not laid out their chess pieces. As a result, Duanmu Huai knocked over the opponent's basic board with one blow, and the demons were killed before they had time to disperse.

With just one blow, all the demons on the opposite side were seriously injured! ?

Now it seems that only Phoenix, the undead clan, has one bishop alive... Well, that bishop is really lucky.

But Lesa Phoenix doesn't think she's lucky.

"What the hell happened?"

Climbing up from the rubble, Lesa looked around in horror. At this moment, there was only mist-like dust floating everywhere in front of his eyes. So much so that Lesa felt like she was in a dream... How is this possible? I had just entered the game, and I hadn't even finished giving the order, and then... what happened? Why does this happen?

Lesa also heard the report on the radio, but his brain refused to accept the fact. How could all those powerful demons he possessed be destroyed in just one encounter? ! This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Something must have gone wrong! That's right! It must be like this…………!

"Dong...dong...dong..."

At this moment, suddenly, heavy footsteps sounded. Hearing the footsteps, Lesa felt that the hairs all over her body were standing on end, and even her blood seemed to be congealed.

It sounded like demonic footsteps.

Although he was a devil, at this moment, Lesa had such an idea deep in his heart. That kind of unparalleled fear, the rage that destroys everything, and is full of suffocating murderous intent. It was as if the word devil itself existed... He slowly turned his head and saw that the dust and fog in front of him gradually dispersed, and then, a steel warrior with a black body and cold red eyes walked out.

"I see, is it you?"

Looking at the Iron Warrior in front of him, Lesa sneered.

"Rias clearly didn't have enough chess pieces, but she took the initiative to play a ranking game. I thought that she might have some hidden trump card. But I didn't expect that she would actually have such a trump card... Humph, you Do you think this can stop our engagement? Who are you? Why are you helping Rias? Answer me!"

"………………"

The Iron Warrior said nothing, and the bright red beam of light flashing from his helmet fell on Lessa.

"What I can feel is that you are just a pawn in a temporary contract!"

Looking at the Iron Warrior in front of him, Lesa continued to speak. He didn't know why, but the sense of oppression brought by the other party made him feel that if he didn't say something, he would be completely suppressed by the other party!

"You are Rias's trump card? What did Rias give you? Money? Women? Status? Who dared you to stand in front of me? Don't you know that I am Lessa of the Phoenix family?! "

"………………"

The Iron Warrior did not speak, but silently clenched the war hammer.

"I admit that you are quite capable, but do you think you can beat me!?"

Not knowing whether it was out of anger or fear, Lesa roared loudly. He clenched his fists, and hot flames spurted out from Lesa's body, turning into wings of flames. Everything around him began to melt under the hot flames, even the masonry was no exception.

"I want to see what you are capable of! How dare you take action against us, who are called the Firebird, Phoenix, and Phoenix clans! Just be prepared to bear the endless fire of karma and burn it out!"

With Lesa's roar, the surroundings completely turned into a sea of ​​fire, and he jumped up and rushed toward the Iron Warrior in front of him, wrapped in flames! I saw the surging flames burning more and more fiercely on Lesa's body. In a moment, he was wrapped into a flame giant. Then he swung his fist and blasted towards the Iron Warrior!

At this moment, Lesa completely aroused all his power. He was the Phoenix of the Phoenix family. Logically speaking, he should not worry about his death at all. But when this Iron Warrior appeared in front of Lesa, he felt some real, indescribable, and unspeakable fear of death for the first time.

It was as if what was standing there was not a person, but death and destruction itself. Even myself, even the Phoenix Phoenix, are no exception!

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Lysa exploded with all his strength, and he rushed towards the Iron Warrior, trying to melt it completely. And just when Lysa rushed in front of the Iron Warrior, he saw that the Iron Warrior was completely unafraid of his own fire, which was enough to completely burn and devour everything in the world.

He didn't even dodge or hide, he just stood there and allowed the surging flames to swallow him up like a wave.

Then, the Iron Warrior raised the war hammer in his hand high, and then swung it forward.

“——————————Boom!!!”

Lesa felt as if his body had been hit by a falling meteorite at this moment. He could even clearly feel that a strong impact directly penetrated his body, and the flames in his body were directly shocked. Scattered, even the blood seemed to be blasted out of the pores.

For a moment, Lesa's mind went blank. When he regained consciousness, he found himself lying in the ruins, his whole body limp and without any strength.

"I, what am I......"

Lesa reluctantly tried to raise his head and look around, but he only saw that the high-end suit he was wearing was now a dazzling red that was completely soaked in blood. And in front of him, there was a line that almost stretched to the far end of the horizon. Huge ravine. He was lying at the end of the ravine like a corpse.

Seeing this scene, Lesa was completely stunned.

What happened just now?
