Chapter 1008 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 Naruse Mio and Maria also 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 out 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, and 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 it's okay, 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 a blur in his eyes, 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 the Kuou, the human world school where Rias-sama attends. 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. "

Transformation is a rule of chess, which means that when a soldier reaches the last row of the opposite side, he can become one of the queen, bishop, castle or knight. In reality, when a soldier demon reaches the vicinity of the opponent's base camp, he can choose to obtain the power blessing of one of them.

Although Duanmu Huai has played chess, he really didn't remember this rule. After all, when he usually plays, the first to die are the soldiers. Who cares what they can become?

"Then... the game begins."

With the ringing of the class bell, the ranking game officially began.

At this time, Rias also took out a map.

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

"Don't bother."

However, before Rias finished speaking, she was interrupted by Duanmu Huai. He stared at the window and walked over slowly. At the same time, the black power armor appeared on Duanmu Huai's body. He held the thunder hammer tightly and stared outside.

"So, now it's time to deploy troops, right?"

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

"Don't worry."

Duanmu Huai shook his head.

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

After the voice fell, Duanmu Huai shouted angrily, and the whole person suddenly rushed towards the window in front of him, and then he broke through the wall of the old school building like an angry bull, jumped high, and raised the thunder hammer in his hand!

"Go to hell!"

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

"—————————!"

At this moment, the 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 smashed the hammer, the ground in front of him collapsed directly, as if thousands of tons of TNT explosives were buried under the ground, and it exploded completely at this moment. The thick ground bulged up, and cracks like spider webs spread out in front of them. Then the forest in front of them could be seen, 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 was also affected. The violent shaking like a magnitude 10 earthquake made the entire old school building look like a small boat swept by the waves in a storm. Even the demons like Rias were unable to stand and fell to the ground.

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

"Oh my God... What happened?"

Staring blankly at the battlefield in front of her, Rias could hardly speak - in front of her, the original back mountain, the new school building in front, the gymnasium, everything had completely disappeared. Only large pieces of ruins and dust floating like mist remained.

Just one blow?

Just one blow, he destroyed the entire school! ?

Liya couldn't believe her eyes. She knew Duanmu Huai was very powerful, but she never thought that Duanmu Huai was so powerful! She had heard that in myths and legends, the first generation of demon kings had a glorious record of destroying a city with one blow. But that was a myth and legend!

And now, she really witnessed a person who destroyed almost the entire school with just one blow!

Even the maid in charge of the referee seemed dumbfounded at this moment. After a long time, her voice sounded again. Although it was still as calm as before, 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 they suffered more than a certain degree of damage and were seriously injured in the battle, they would be eliminated and forcibly teleported away from the battlefield.

Both sides had just arrived at the battlefield and had not yet spread out their chess pieces. As a result, Duanmu Huai directly smashed the opponent's basic plate with one blow, and those demons were wiped out before they had time to disperse.

Just one blow made all the demons on the opposite side seriously injured! ?

Now it seems that only the Phoenix of the Undead Clan and a bishop are alive... Well, that bishop is really lucky.

But Lesa Phoenix doesn't think he is lucky.

"What on earth happened?"

Climbing up from the rubble, Lesa looked around in horror. At this moment, there was only dust floating everywhere in front of him, like a mist. So much so that Lesa even felt like he was dreaming... How could this be possible? He had just entered the game and hadn't even given the order yet, and then... What on earth happened? Why did it turn out like this?

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

"Boom... Boom... Boom..."

At this moment, suddenly, heavy footsteps sounded. Hearing this footsteps, Lesa felt that his hair stood up all over his body, and even his blood seemed to coagulate.

Like the sound of devilish footsteps.

Although he is a demon, at this moment, Raisa had such a thought in his heart. That kind of incomparable fear, the rage of destroying everything, full of suffocating murderous intent. Just like the existence of the word demon itself... He slowly turned his head and saw the dust and mist in front of him gradually dissipated. Then, a steel warrior with a black body and cold red eyes walked out.

"So that's it, is it you?"

Looking at the steel warrior in front of him, Raisa sneered.

"Rias obviously hasn't gathered enough chess pieces, but she took the initiative to propose a ranking game. I thought she might have some hidden trump cards. But I didn't expect that she would have such a trump card... Humph, do you think this can stop our engagement? Who are you? Why do you want to help Rias? Answer me!"

"……………………"

The steel warrior said nothing, and the bright red beam flashing from the helmet fell on Raisa.

"I can feel that you are just a chess piece of a temporary contract!"

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

"Are you 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 Lexa of the Phoenix family?!"

"……………………"

The Iron Warrior didn't speak, but just silently clenched the war hammer.

"I admit that you have some skills, but do you think you can beat me!?"

I don't know whether it was out of anger or fear, Lexa roared loudly. He clenched his fists, and the hot flames sprayed out from Lexa's body, turning into wings of flames. Everything around began to melt under this hot flame, even bricks and stones were no exception.

"I want to see what you are capable of! You dare to attack us who are called firebirds, phoenixes, and the phoenix family! You are ready to bear this endless fire and burn to ashes!"

Accompanied by Lesa's roar, the surroundings completely turned into a sea of ​​fire, and he jumped up and rushed towards the iron warrior in front of him under the wrapping of flames! The surging flames burned more and more fiercely on Lesa's body, and in a moment he was wrapped into a giant of fire. Then he punched and blasted towards the iron warrior!

At this moment, Lesa completely stimulated all his strength. He was the Phoenix of the phoenix family. Logically speaking, he should not worry about his own death. But when this iron warrior appeared in front of Lesa, he felt for the first time a certain real, indescribable, and unspeakable fear of death.

It seemed that what was standing there was not a person, but death and destruction itself. Even himself, even the Phoenix of the phoenix, was no exception!

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"

Leisa burst out with all his strength, he rushed to the Iron Warrior, trying to melt it completely. When Leisa rushed in front of the Iron Warrior, he saw that the Iron Warrior was not afraid of his flames that could completely burn and devour everything in the world.

He didn't even dodge or hide, just stood there, letting the surging flames devour him like waves.

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

"————————————Boom!!!"

Leisa only felt that his body was hit by a falling meteorite at this moment. He could even clearly feel that a strong impact force directly broke into his body, and the flames in his body were directly shattered, and even the blood seemed to be blasted out of his pores.

For a moment, Leisa's mind was blank. When he regained consciousness again, he found himself lying in the ruins, his whole body soft and without any strength.

"I, what on earth am I........."

Leisa tried to raise his head and look around, but he only saw that the high-end suit he was wearing was now completely soaked in blood and a dazzling red, and in front of him was a huge gully that almost extended to the far end of the horizon. He was lying at the end of the gully, like a corpse.

Seeing this scene, Leisa was completely confused.

What happened just now?
