"Uh..."
Su Yang wrinkled his nose.
He had thought he would only draw things that could help improve his strength. He hadn't expected something this entertainment-oriented.
Well, maybe it wasn't entirely for entertainment.
It would be quite useful for Heige and Koneko. If he could travel to a world like Dog Days, one filled with catgirls, it would be even more useful.
"Yang-kun, I didn't expect you to be this strong. Your next opponent is me!~"
Sona's Rook, Yura Tsubasa, assumed a fighting stance before Su Yang.
"Su Yang-senpai, me too."
Koneko put on her boxing gloves as well.
A Rook combination!
Since Koneko had yet to resolve the knot in her heart, she wasn't using the Cat Demon's power.
"You two should be careful. A Rook's defense is useless before me."
Su Xi said with a smile.
Because he was currently using the Authority of [Narasimha]!
Vishnu had once incarnated as a boar—his third Avatar—and overthrown Hiranyakashipu's twin brother, Hiranyaksha. He had also lifted the land submerged beneath the sea back above the waves.
Brahma granted Hiranyakashipu a boon: neither man nor beast, neither indoors nor outdoors, neither day nor night, and no weapon of any kind could harm him. Believing himself invincible, he acted without restraint, turning heaven and earth upside down.
Yet his son Prahlada was a devout follower of Vishnu.
One day, Hiranyakashipu kicked a Stone pillar and asked Prahlada, "If your god is everywhere, then is he inside this Stone pillar too?"
You couldn't just raise death flags. Vishnu immediately emerged from the Stone pillar in the form of Narasimha and killed Hiranyakashipu at the doorway at twilight.
Because Narasimha was half man and half lion, he was neither man nor beast.
Because he stood at the doorway, he was neither indoors nor outdoors.
Because it was dusk, it was neither day nor night.
Because he used his claws, they were not weapons.
And so, Hiranyakashipu was easily slain.
The powers Su Yang had developed from Narasimha included, at the very least, the ability to pierce through all defenses! As well as the ability to heed the calls of his followers and instantly arrive at their location!
The power Su Yang was using now was the ability to ignore all defenses. That was why the Defense Array on Kiba's body had been completely useless earlier, and Kiba had been instantly defeated.
"Haahhhhh!~~"
As Su Yang slowly advanced toward their position, aside from the two Rooks blocking him head-on, artillery support came from behind them as well.
Tsubaki Shinra's ice-element Magic Circle unfolded!
Since Sona's family specialized in this field, Tsubaki Shinra's attainments in it were quite profound.
But... magic at the level of a mere High-class Devil was nothing in Su Yang's eyes!
Before Su Yang even came into contact with Koneko and Yura Tsubasa, he casually waved a hand in that direction.
"Crack... crack-crack-crack!~~~"
The Magic Circle that had only just formed instantly turned into specks of starlight and vanished into the air!
Unlike when he had dispersed Heige's Magic Circle with a wave earlier, Heige's Magic Circle had collapsed because he found its weakness. Tsubaki Shinra's Magic Circle, however, had simply dissipated in an instant!
"It disappeared?! Is this the ability Koneko mentioned—the one that dispersed her Sister's magic?"
Rias's eyes filled with hope.
If it was Su Yang, then perhaps he really could turn that Fried Chicken... uh... no, turn Raisa Phoenix into an actual fried chicken!
"I think I can see it now. The place that dispersed first was precisely the weak point in our Sitri family's magic. But Yang-kun has never studied our Sitri family's magic."
"So you're saying Yang-kun saw it at a glance—or rather, calculated the weakness in your family's Magic Circle?"
Rias swallowed.
Did I really strike it rich?
"I think I understand what Lord Achuka meant now."
There was a trace of tenderness in Sona's gaze. She had never looked at a man with such eyes before.
Su Yang... he really is worthy of being the one I value.
Still... it would be even better if Rias could be removed from the equation.
The more outstanding Su Yang became, the stronger such desires grew within Sona.
Just as Sona was thinking that she would ask for Yang-kun back once Rias had settled the matter with Fried Chicken, Rias suddenly spoke.
"Sona, do you think it was a mistake for us not to take the field?"
"Hm? What do you mean?"
Sona didn't understand at first.
"Just look at the field." Rias gave a bitter smile.
She had originally thought this match would put pressure on Su Yang. She hadn't expected it to put pressure on herself instead. Wouldn't it be humiliating if her own Servants easily surpassed—or even crushed—her?
