Kapitel 95: Rating Game

*3rd POV*

Rias and her peerage walk inside the arena while waving their hand toward the spectator. Rias and her peerage have been training their ass off before this event. After the fight against Cao Cao, Rias knows that she cannot rely on her Power of Destruction for every fight she has.

Because of this, Rias begins to learn as many magic spells as she can, from Norse magic to Egyptian magic. She knows that if she doesn't use all her strength, she will be beaten by her cousin in a second.

Her magic instructor is MacGregor Mathers, Sirzechs Lucifer bishop. MacGregor's teaching is relaxed but strict. 'Magic is a delicate thing. You need to relax and be focused at the same time' That is what the man said to Rias when they started their training in magic. Unlike her other instructor.

Not only magic, but Rias also trains her physical ability. She asks her brother to train her in close combat, and he agrees at her request, so he calls his knight to train Rias and her peerage. The training is brutal. Okita Souji is a gentleman, but he becomes something that even Satan feared when it comes to training.

Okita Souji is not only a swordmaster but also a weapon master. He already mastered many kinds of weapons, and because of this, he can see which weapon is suitable for Rias and her peerage.

Okita says that Rias is not really built for a weapon fight, but he recommended her to choose a short sword or a dagger as her weapon. A short sword is good enough for her if an enemy charges at her at high speed.

However, what Rias is good at is hand-to-hand combat. She can coat her hand with the Power of Destruction and attack the enemy with it. That is why Rias did not take any weapon and train harder in her Hand-to-Hand fighting technique.

Rias queen Akeno has a whip as her weapon. Rias thought that it fitted for her fighting style and personality. Her knight Yuuto did not take another weapon to create a new weapon if needed using his Sacred Gear. Her other knights, Xenovia, also did not need another weapon as she already had a holy sword in her possession. Her rook Koneko takes a gauntlet as her weapon. Her two bishops take staff as their weapon. Lastly, her pawn Hyoudou Issei did not take any weapon as his sacred gear is enough for him.

However, even though she is training her ass out, Rias doesn't know if she and her peerage can defeat Sairaorg and his peerage.

It is a well-known fact that Sairaorg is the strongest young devil in the entire underworld. Serafall says that Sairaorg continues his insane training every day, and not only that, he does a weekly spar with one of the Lexian guardians.

This is what makes Rias nervous. Lexian guardian is one of the most powerful people in the world, and the other faction acknowledges that. His guardian and Lexian himself can also be considered one of the most powerful humans and maybe the most powerful active human in the world. The previous holder of that title Vasco Strada retired from the active duty of the church that is why Lexian was considered the most powerful human in the world that is still active.

The news of him fighting against Katerea Leviathan and Creuserey Asmodeus has a power that can be compared to the original satans and come up a winner by killing both of them.

So when the news of Sairaorg can keep up with Mordred, the Vongola family's guardian, Rias knows that Sairaorg becomes stronger every day.

Not only that, but she also doesn't have a complete peerage as Sairaorg did. She is too focused on her daily life and training to be scouting a suitable peerage member.

However, while her winning possibilities are slim, Rias will try her hardest to beat Sairaorg.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is the same as in the canon. However, there is a slight difference in the participants in the fight. I can see Sairaorg peerage members giving some face to Rias and her peerage by not doing their best.

"What the hell was that? Another fake defeat?"

I sigh a little bit at Lugh complaining.

But I must say that the fight is rather disappointing. While yes, the defeat is carefully fabricated that the other people will never notice it. Still, the people who know Sairaorg or those who have a long experience will notice it right away.

Sairaorg peerage members will continue to give a show to the people watching them by fighting Rias peerage with a flashy move even though Medea and Carol lecture them never to use them.

I look to the side, and I can see Medea have an annoyed face at the Sairaorg bishop show to us. In the end, there is only Sairaorg and his pawn Regulus left, while Rias still has Issei, Akeno, and Asia.

I then see both Sairaorg and Rias walk toward the podium and throw the dice once again. A second later, it shows a number two six, meaning that both kings can fight each other.

However, instead of fighting them right away, Sairaorg looked at us before saying.

"I want to challenge Rias and her peerage in an all-out attack! Rias and her remaining peerage and me with my peerage."

"OH?!? Sairaorg Bael requested an all-out fight between his peerage and Rias Gremory peerage!!!"

I chuckle a little at Sairaorg's request. It looks like that little battle maniac really wants to fight all of Rias's peerage and Rias herself really bad.

When Sirzechs ask for permission to accept Sairaorg's proposal, I immediately agree to it. While Sirzechs hide it well, I can see a relief expression on his face when all special guests agree to Sairaorg's proposal. I guess he is really worried about his little sister.

"OH! It looks like the Sairaorg proposal has been accepted! All the participants, please walk to the podium where you will be transported to the battlefield."

When they walk to the podium, I can see they are transported to the same battlefield as the canon. However, the difference is that Rias is bringing Asia this time, and Akeno is still present in this fight.

When they appear in the arena, Sairaorg says something to Rias.

"Rias, I want you all to fight me all your power. I will not hold my punch from the beginning."

"What?"

"Regulus! Balance Breaker!"

Heh, it looks like Sairaorg really wants to show off his power to the public, huh? And if he really wants to go all out, then….

"Look like Sairaorg will use it, huh?"

"Hmmm? What do you mean, Lexian?"

"You should see it in a minute, Serafall. The fight will get more interesting from now on."

"Oh?"

After his transformation, I can see Sairaorg standing in the middle of the arena wearing golden armor with a lion's head on his chest. This is Sairaorg Balance Breaker, Regulus Rey Leather Rex.

"COME!"

Without hesitation, Sairaorg charges at Rias and her peerage, ready to punch them with his fist.

Akeno and Asia try to hold Sairaorg with a magic barrier, but Sairaorg destroys them easily and continues charging toward Rias. However, before he could reach Rias, Issei arrived in front of Sairaorg and punched him in the face in his Balance Breaker form.

I can see Sairaorg catch Issei's punch, but before he could do a counter-attack, the boosted gear shines and says.

I can see Issei trying to overpower Sairaorg, but to Issei's surprise, he cannot do that even though he already boosted his physical ability by six times.

Sairaorg raises his other hand and punches Issei in the face, and throws him away. However, after punching Issei away, Rias and Akeno begin to rain down Sairaorg with the Power of Destruction and Holy Lightning. At the same time, Asia runs toward Issei and begins to heal him with her Sacred Gear.

I smirk a little when I see a familiar red flame coming from Sairaorg's hand before creating a wall made of Storm Flame that disintegrates all the incoming attack.

"Heh"

"Lexi-kun! What was that?!?"

Before I could even blink, Serafall appeared behind me and shook me with her hand while demanding what was happening.

"Well, I give Sairaorg the ability to use the Dying Will Flame."

Well, that is a lie. Sairaorg has the ability of Storm flame when he acknowledges in his heart that Faysummit is his home. The only thing that forces him to leave Faysummit is his mother. If his mother is dead, he will stay in Faysummit forever and never leave, just like many Low-level devils who lived in Faysummit or Dragonsummit.

Technically, the Sairaorg flame is coming from me as I'm the first Flame bearer, and because of me, there is a Dying Will Flame in the DxD universe. So, I'm not lying when I say that I was the one giving Sairaorg his flame.

"However, that ability only works for him and cannot be passed down to his offspring."

I immediately say that when I see a calculating face, Ajuka made when I say Sairaorg can use Dying Will Flame. Amelia already makes sure of that when she heals Sairaorg when he has a spar with Mordred and Carol.

"Ne, Lexi-kun, will you give me a Dying Will Flame?"

"Nope."

"Mou~~~."

Having Sairaorg have Storm Flame already makes me nervous, and if Serafall has a Dying Will Flame, there will be many political problems in the future.

Anyway, I go back to watch the fight between Sairaorg and Rias as the fight starts to be interesting.
