How did it suddenly appear here, in the hands of a pure-blood Devil!' ... Riser was so shocked that he was trembling, and he gasped in disbelief. "Th-that's a holy sword!? How can you—wield a holy sword?" Although Riser was too shocked to immediately identify it as Excalibur, he could clearly sense the terrifying power emanating from the blade. Among all weapons—those imbued with holy power, holy water—were the most effective against Devils. Holy swords, in particular—were a Devil's worst nightmare. A scratch from a holy sword could inflict a grievous wound on a Devil, one that was incredibly difficult to heal. A direct hit or impalement could be fatal unless the Devil was exceptionally powerful. But now, Rias was wielding a holy sword. Unless she had received a blessing from the Angels of Heaven, such a thing should be impossible! But the Seraphim and Angels of Heaven were even more bewildered than Riser! Rias, as a Devil—was their sworn enemy. There was no way they would help her! Even more perplexing to the Angels was why [Excalibur], a weapon made from the faith of humanity, would choose a Devil as its wielder. Unlike the ignorant masses, Sirzechs, who had more knowledge on the matter, understood that the legendary [Sword of the Planet] was fundamentally different from the holy swords forged in Heaven! "Rias could never be the wielder of [Excalibur]. A holy sword would never choose a Devil. So, there's only one possibility!" In an instant, Sirzechs thought of Hibari Kyoya. Sirzechs's eyes shone brightly, and he was thrilled. "It's that human, Hibari Kyoya. He must be the true wielder of [Sword of Promised Victory]!" And it wasn't just Sirzechs who had figured it out. Cao Cao of the Hero Faction, Vali, and Lux, among others, had also deduced Kyoya's connection to the sword. But the uninformed Devils watching the match were utterly terrified, not understanding what was going on. ... 'How can Rias wield a holy sword? We're afraid of them—but she can just use one? What the hell is happening?' On the battlefield, Riser was trembling uncontrollably, his body instinctively shifting into his Phoenix form. Even so, he still felt a chill run down his spine! Riser felt the threat of death looming over him, making him shudder uncontrollably. He wanted to escape, but fear rooted him to the spot. Just then, the holy sword in Rias's hand flared with a blinding light. She had clearly finished charging her attack, and a terrifying beam of energy was about to be unleashed on Riser. As if foreseeing his own death, Riser screamed at the top of his lungs, "Stop! I surrender!!!!!" The moment Riser surrendered, Evelyn—as the referee, quickly intervened to stop Rias's attack. Rias, hearing Riser's surrender, quickly changed the direction of the holy sword's attack. Suddenly, the holy sword released an intense flash of light, like a beam of pure annihilation, that engulfed a distant city, obliterating everything in its path. Riser stared at the scene in horror, unable to believe his eyes. He slumped to the ground, paralyzed by fear, knowing he had just escaped death's grasp. But as fate would have it, an accident occurred at that very moment! ... Kiyome quickly shouted, "Buchou, run! Rayquaza's attack can't be stopped! It's coming!" "!!!!" Everyone looked up at Rayquaza, stunned. They thought the danger had passed. Who knew this dragon still had an attack brewing! Rayquaza thought to itself, 'I've been watching here for so long, and you still won't let me attack. Now I can't stop even if I wanted to. Here, have a taste of my spit!' Seeing the terrifying scene, Evelyn quickly used all her power to create a magic barrier to protect Rias and Riser. "Roar!!" A beam of blue energy erupted from Rayquaza's mouth. —Dragon's Rage!!! As the meteor-like [Dragon's Rage] descended, everyone's jaws dropped. BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM! Rayquaza's Dragon's Rage collided with Evelyn's magic barrier. A blinding light erupted, followed by a shockwave that swept across the entire area! Riser, who was within the barrier, stared blankly at the scene, unable to utter a word. Just then, Evelyn, horrified—realized that her magic barrier was cracking under the strain. "Oh no!!!" In an instant, the magic barrier shattered, and the three of them were engulfed by the attack!! "Rias!" "Buchou!!" "Onii-sama!!!" Seeing the three engulfed by the attack, Akeno and the others, as well as Ravel—cried out in alarm. ... In the Occult Research Club. Kyoya also stood up abruptly. "Crap, Rayquaza..." Sona was also worried. "Will they be alright?" "They should be fine. Rayquaza didn't use its full strength. And Evelyn is almost at the peak Ultimate-class. She should have been able to withstand the attack." I said after thinking for a moment. "Hmm!" ... Soon, the blinding light faded. The scene finally calmed down. But when the spectators saw the state of Rias, Riser, and Evelyn, they were shocked! Rias and Riser were mostly unharmed, but Evelyn was in a terrible state. One of her arms was severely injured and covered in blood! "!!!!" 'What the hell? This Rating Game getting crazier by the minute!' 'First, Rias's peerage crushed Riser's. Then, Rias, a Devil—wielded a holy sword. And after Riser surrendered, this unknown dragon attacked, severely injuring even Evelyn—the Queen of Maou Sirzechs!' It was all too much. It was completely challenging their ability to process what was happening. Rias, seeing Evelyn's injuries, quickly asked, "Sister-in-law, are you alright? Is it life-threatening?" Evelyn, still in shock from looking at Rayquaza, recovered upon hearing Rias's concern and replied, "Don't worry, Rias-sama. These injuries are manageable. I can heal them." Hearing Evelyn's words, Rias breathed a sigh of relief. In the audience seating area, Maou Sirzechs also relaxed slightly, seeing that his wife wasn't in any serious danger. Meanwhile, Riser, having experienced the shadow of death several times now, had completely lost his composure. He screamed hysterically, "I surrender! I forfeit the engagement! Send me back! I don't want to stay here anymore!!" "I declare this Rating Game to be Rias-sama's victory." Evelyn appeared before Riser, glanced at him in his terrified state—then announced the result of the Rating Game to Rias. ❁❁❁❁ ~ Push the story forward with your Power Stones ~ Every 400 PS = Bonus Chapter! ❁❁❁❁ ~ If you're interested. you can read 17 Advanced Chapters : https://p-atreon.com/dragonnx (Just remove the hyphen to access Patreon normally.)
