Leo's manor, basement.
Before Leo and his party left Human World, people came here every day. But after Leo and his party left Human World, this place was completely deserted, making the magic square in the basement dim for a whole month.
However, today, the magic square lit up again, emitting a dazzling red light.
In the red light, the figures of Leo and his group slowly appeared, returning to the manor again.
"Back."
"Finally back.
"It's better to be at home."
"Even the air feels different."
Yukino Yukinoshita and the others all spoke one after another with relaxed expressions, and the figures dragging suitcases seemed to become a lot lighter, making the atmosphere a little more joyful.
"Is this where Lord Leo lives in Human World?"
Ravel Phenex habitually observes the surroundings.
"It looks like it's quite big here."
"It seems that there are familiars, so the pressure on Rem and onee-sama will not be too great."
Ram and Rem were communicating with each other on the sidelines. It seemed that they were the first to regard this place as their future workplace.
To be honest, with the familiar in charge of the chores of the entire manor, the two maids Ram and Rem are really not necessary.
But since they like it themselves, Leo has no reason to object.
Look at Grayfia Lucifuge, she is still one of Underworld's strongest female Devil, her strength is on the same level as Serafall who is the current Demon King Leviathan, but she is not Gremory Clan's maid?
She is also the wife of Sirzechs, the strongest demon king, and "Queen". She is the sister-in-law of Rias Gremory, but isn't she also working as a maid?
Of course, she is a maid in name, but in fact Grayfia Lucifuge is responsible for all the affairs of the Gremory Clan, so her rights and status in the Gremory Clan are no different from those of the eldest mistress.
Since Ram and Rem insist on being maids, let them be responsible for managing the affairs of the entire manor. The familiars in the manor can be arranged and distributed by them. This does not mean they have lost their status.
While Leo was thinking about this, a figure broke in from outside the basement.
"Hey, you are back."
The hearty voice reached the basement one step ahead of the other person's figure, causing everyone to look towards the entrance of the basement.
"Musashi teacher!"
Asuna Yuuki immediately called the other party happily.
The person coming is none other than Miyamoto Musashi.
"So you're still here?"
Leo made a somewhat surprised sound.
He thought that after he and others left the manor and went to Underworld for special training, Miyamoto Musashi would follow them back to Underworld.
"This is the order from Master Serafall and Lord Sirzechs." Miyamoto Musashi saw Leo's surprise and immediately explained, "The adults said, you can go Underworld has received special training, but Old Satan Faction and Hero Faction and other forces don't know about this, so they are likely to send people over or even attack this manor."
"Considering this possibility, Masters Lord Sirzechs and Serafall decided to take advantage of the situation and send some people to wait here, or even have people pretend to be you to lure the other party into being fooled."
"If we can catch the other party's people, we might be able to get some useful information."
Therefore, Miyamoto Musashi did not return to Underworld and stayed in this manor.
"Has anyone been fooled?"
Yukino Yukinoshita immediately asked, making everyone hold their breath and look at Miyamoto Musashi.
"It is true that someone was fooled, but it was not Old Satan Faction or that Hero Faction person." Miyamoto Musashi spread his hands helplessly and said, "The other party's intelligence network seems to be very large. It is very likely that they already know that you are no longer here, so there has been no movement for the past month."
"On the contrary, the church, Fallen Angel, and even people from other Mythological System have sent some people over this month, but they are basically just some little shrimps. The purpose should be to test our reaction or your composition."
"These people are basically worthless. Even if they are caught, they won't yield any useful information."
In other words, over the past month, Miyamoto Musashi has gained nothing.
"Is that so?" Utaha Kasumigaoka curled his lips in disappointment and muttered, "I thought I could really catch some big fish."
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you can't catch it. It's just a trick laid out by the Demon King anyway. It's best to get something. It doesn't matter even if you don't get anything." Miyamoto Musashi said with relief, "Lord Sirzechs and Serafall probably didn't have high hopes. I heard that the adults have other moves. Even if there is no sound here, as long as there is sound elsewhere, it is not a loss."
With that said, Miyamoto Musashi stopped talking about this topic, but quickly glanced at everyone and narrowed his eyes.
"The results of your special training - they seem to be very good?"
As an intermediary, Martial Artist, Miyamoto Musashi's intuition is very sharp, and they immediately noticed the changes in Leo and others.
Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the changes of the girls. Each one of them seems to have undergone a transformation. Their aura is restrained and calm, and they are no longer as immature as before. One can imagine what kind of growth they have undergone.
Of course, the biggest change is not in these girls, but in the master Leo.
That natural feeling and the sense of existence and detachment that were completely different from before were telling Miyamoto Musashi that the man in front of him had undergone earth-shaking changes.
This change even stimulated Miyamoto Musashi, who is Martial Artist, Battle Aura, giving her a feeling of goosebumps all over her body. When she just walked into the basement, she almost couldn't help her instinct and wanted to draw a knife on Leo.
It was not because she felt danger, but because she felt a life above her, that as Martial Artist, she instinctively wanted to draw a sword to challenge the opponent.
Challenging the stronger, constantly honing oneself in desperate situations, and growing continuously, these are the basic qualities that every qualified Martial Artist should have.
Therefore, even though Miyamoto Musashi seemed very calm throughout the whole process, as carefree as ever, she was actually patient all the time. Her palms were unconsciously pressed on the handle of the knife at her waist. She wanted to draw the knife several times, but she restrained herself in the end.
Leo actually saw this, and could vaguely feel that there was a sharp and delicate fighting spirit locked on his body, as if it might explode at any time.
"Another fighting maniac----"
Leo's face remained calm, but he was complaining in his heart.
Tiamat That's okay. After all, we are dragons and a very warlike race. But Miyamoto Musashi, what's the big deal?
She used to be a human, but now she is Devil. Neither of them are extremely bellicose beings, so why do she look like she is ready to make a move?
No, the Battle Aura and fighting spirit in Miyamoto Musashi's heart are even higher than Tiamat's.
At least, Tiamat can still control himself, but Miyamoto Musashi can hardly bear it anymore.
There was no way, she just had such a character. Before she was reincarnated into Devil, she kept traveling around as Ronin, challenging strong men and celebrities, and she was the kind who would do anything to win.
After being reincarnated into Devil, Miyamoto Musashi saw a wider world and more incredible strong people, but his heart of Martial Artist was not wiped out at all. On the contrary, he became more enthusiastic about challenging strong people. Only then did he grow from an ordinary Reincarnated Devil to an existence that is only one step away from Maou-Class in hundreds of years.
How could such a pure Martial Artist ignore a strong man who made her competitive spirit so strong?
In particular, Leo was far inferior to her before, but now he has quietly transformed into an existence that makes her feel dangerous. This makes Miyamoto Musashi's fighting spirit uncontrollably swell.
Finally, Miyamoto Musashi couldn't bear it anymore.
"It's still early, why don't you let me test your growth, young master?"
Miyamoto Musashi looked at Leo with burning eyes, as if there was a flame burning inside.
Seeing this, the expressions of Ravel Phenex, Ram and Rem changed. Just as they were about to walk out, they were stopped by Yukino Yukinoshita and others.0
"It's okay, they have been sparring often before."
Mahiru Shiina gave a comforting sound.
"Musashi teacher is so happy to see Hunter."
Asuna Yuuki smiled slightly bitterly.
"It's not just once or twice anyway."
Utaha Kasumigaoka looked indifferent.
"I also want to know who is stronger now, compared to our master and the Demon King's retinue."
Yukino Yukinoshita said this calmly, making the three Ravel Phenex look at each other, and finally chose silence.
Here, Leo was also relieved quickly.
Just like what Yukino Yukinoshita and others said, this is not the first time the two of them have fought each other, so why should they be nervous?
Did you practice sparring less often before?
Besides, I had never won a single sparring match with Miyamoto Musashi before. Now that I finally have enough strength, shouldn't I avenge my previous shame?
It's time to let yourself win once, right?
Thinking of this, Leo's fighting spirit was also inspired.
"Then come."
Without any nonsense, Leo threw the luggage in his hand to Ravel Phenex and walked to the field.
"Haha!"
Miyamoto Musashi immediately laughed happily, and ran to the opposite side of Leo without saying a word. The hand on the knife at his waist had completely grasped the handle of the knife, and his fighting spirit was released without reservation.
"Let's stay away."
Upon seeing this, Yukino Yukinoshita immediately spoke and led everyone to retreat some distance away.
"Is that person strong?"
Rem Seeing everyone's serious faces, he couldn't help but ask.
She doesn't know Miyamoto Musashi, let alone how strong this female swordsman is.
In her opinion, there is no doubt about the strength of Leo. Even herself after Oni Transformation can easily solve it. Even her favorite sister cannot do such a thing. Do she still need to be afraid of a female swordsman who doesn't look very reliable?
Unless the opponent is a Dragon King Class like Lord Tiamat, otherwise, it is completely impossible for your master to lose, okay?
Rem, who was thinking this way, was soon shocked by his sister's words.
"----That female swordsman should be stronger than me."
Ram stared at Miyamoto Musashi and said something that surprised Rem.
"She----is stronger than onee-sama?"
Rem I can't believe it.
Seeing Rem like this, Ravel Phenex made a sound.
"She is the "knight" of the current Demon King Leviathan. She has been fighting under Lord Leviathan for hundreds of years. It is said that her sword skills are very powerful. Even in the entire Underworld, there is no one with stronger sword skills than her. Devil, who once defeated the cadres of Fallen Angel and the highest-level warrior in the church, is the most powerful evil Magic Swordsman who is called "Flower of Tengen" by the people of Three Factions."
As the daughter of the Phenex Clan, although Ravel Phenex has never met Miyamoto Musashi, he has heard about Miyamoto Musashi's deeds.
The subordinates of the Demon King are basically all famous people in Underworld, and Miyamoto Musashi is one of them, so Ravel Phenex can be considered a treasure to Miyamoto Musashi's deeds.
Therefore, she can tell Rem with certainty.
"Miyamoto-sama is indeed very strong. Even the existence of Maou-Class may not be able to defeat her. Whether Leo-sama can defeat that person is really a bit of a mystery."
At the same time that Ravel Phenex said this, Leo and Miyamoto Musashi, who were walking towards the field, also started to move.
"Ugh!"
Leo showed Devil Wings and suddenly flew into the air, occupying the air superiority.
"Ten wings?"
Seeing the number of wings behind Leo, it was Miyamoto Musashi's turn to be surprised.
But then, Miyamoto Musashi became excited.
"Sure enough, you have changed a lot this time."
Having confirmed this, Miyamoto Nozo not only did not feel burdened by his official duties, but instead became more motivated.
Although the ten wings were just a pair of wings added before Ben, the two are completely incomparable.
Even though the previous Leo had Longinus, he was still one level behind her when competing with her, but now Leo has reached the same level as her and has reached the position closest to Maou-Class.
Such Leo, plus the world's second strongest Longinus----
No wonder you are so eager to fight!
"It seems that I can be on full fire from the beginning!"
Miyamoto Tozo grinned and slowly drew out the two swords on his waist.
Full firepower, this is definitely not something you say casually.
The evidence is that as Miyamoto Nozo slowly draws out the sword, the aura released from her body expands at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When Miyamoto Tozo completely drew his double swords and lowered the tips of the swords to the ground naturally, the aura from his body was so powerful that it made the surrounding ground tremble slightly.
That scene was like an invisible Sword Qi raging in the air.
sharp.
sharp.
Unrivaled.
Faced with Miyamoto Tozo like this, Leo's response was very simple.
"Boom-
The familiar roaring pill was now in the air, and the ceiling of the basement was suddenly occupied by bursts of sudden dark clouds.
There was lightning and thunder in the dark clouds, making the air extremely oppressive and heavy.
At this moment, Leo's body was emitting a wave of arrogant energy that was no less than that of Miyamoto Tozo who was at full strength!
So far, there is still something wrong!
Seeing this scene, the girls knew it.
The intensity of this battle will probably exceed Lingling's previous sparring sessions and reach an unprecedented level.
The war is about to break out.
