Manor, living room----

Under the call of Ravel Phenex, Ram and Rem, the entire Eligos Peerage people gathered here.

As soon as the four Yukino Yukinoshita, Asuna Yuuki, Utaha Kasumigaoka, and Mahiru Shiina heard that Leo was back, they all left the room one after another. They rushed here and saw Leo standing behind Kanna and Stella.

"Minister!"

"You guys are finally back."

"Where the hell have you been?"

"We are worried about you."

Seeing Leo, Asuna Yuuki's face was full of surprise, Utaha Kasumigaoka complained, Yukino Yukinoshita questioned, and Mahiru Shiina's eyes were full of worries that had not dissipated. Each emotion was different, but they fully demonstrated their personality and mood at this moment.

Ravel Phenex, Ram, and Rem understood them very well, so they did not speak and just watched quietly from the side.

As for Kanna and Stella, the former looked at the girls present with a surprised look on their faces. He kept looking at them, as if he was observing something. The latter's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was surprised that there were so many beautiful girls with outstanding looks here.

"Are these all his dependents?"

Stella glanced at the smiling Leo, thinking so in his heart, but on the surface he still looked taciturn.

Under such circumstances, Leo stood up, with a relieved and helpless smile on his face.

"It's a long story. I'll explain it to you later." Leo looked at the four Yukino Yukinoshita and said, "Are your injuries okay?"

Leo made a general observation and found that although there were no obvious injuries on the girls' bodies, at least external injuries were difficult to see, but it was not known whether there were any injuries inside the body.

Their faces were not very good-looking either, showing a sense of weakness and paleness, as if they had just recovered from a serious illness. They were all still wearing pajamas and coats, and their whole bodies exuded a delicate and serious feeling.

Leo would like to check it, but he is not good at recovery ability. Even if he checks it, it is probably difficult to detect anything.

So, he simply asked me directly.

"It's okay, I'm just a little weak."

Yukino Yukinoshita saw that Leo was concerned about their bodies first, and her expression softened a lot. Although she was a little concerned about the two girls standing behind Leo, she still answered Leo's question first.

"On that day, after leaving Different Dimension, we have already received preliminary treatment. Although it is not like Ram and Rem, because of Tears of the Phoenix, the injuries will be fully recovered soon, but as of today, our injuries are almost all healed."

Asuna Yuuki spoke in detail, and her voice was full of intimacy and gentleness, which made Kanna and Stella look sideways and look at her twice.

"The main reason is that Gremory Peerage's "bishop" is really very capable. Her Sacred Gear seems to be able to heal any injury immediately, which is why our injuries heal so quickly."

Utaha Kasumigaoka mentioned Asia Argento. Apparently the person who treated them that day was this former church saint, the Gremory Peerage "bishop" who owned Sacred Gear "Twilight Healing".

"Miss Asia Argento's healing ability is indeed very powerful. The recovery abilities of me and senior Asuna are completely incomparable to that one."

Mahiru Shiina is a little ashamed of himself. It seems that he has used his own ability to treat his companions, but the effect should be far less than that of Asia Argento who has "Twilight Healing".

"Actually, the injuries suffered by some of them are not that big of a problem. They were cured almost within the same day." Ravel Phenex interjected and said, "The real trouble is the things other than the injuries. The fights that you suffered that day were really messy. If you hadn't worked so hard, you wouldn't have needed to stay in bed for so long."

As soon as these words came out, many girls present could not help but lower their heads, even Ram and Rem.

Seeing this, Leo raised his eyebrows and called Ravel Phenex to him.

"What was the battle like that day? Tell me in detail!"

Ravel Phenex is the strategist-type talent in the team. She must know more about the battle situation than anyone else present. You are right to ask her.

The girl was not surprised at all by her master's inquiry, as if she had already prepared for this, she began to explain.

Under Ravel Phenex's vivid explanation, Leo gradually understood what the battle between his family members and Hero Faction was like that day.

According to what Ravel Phenex said, when he and Cao Cao started a big battle and moved the battlefield, Eligos Peerage and Hero Faction entered into a situation where everyone was fighting against each other.

Yukino Yukinoshita was targeted by Sharon, who had always been entangled with him, and a battle began instantly.

Asuna Yuuki and Jeanne d'Arc, who inherited the soul of the saint who saved the country, were approached by Jeanne d'Arc who also possessed Sacred Gear "Sword Birth|, and a duel began between the female holy swordsman and the female holy swordsman.

Utaha Kasumigaoka and Heracles, who inherited the soul of the great hero Heracles and possessed Sacred Gear "Dimension Lost", faced each other. One is good at attack and the other is good at defense. It is a battle between the strongest spear and the strongest shield.

Mahiru Shiina was regarded as an opponent by Siegfried, the former top warrior of the church, who held multiple magic swords and inherited the factors of Dragon Slayer Hero Sigurd, and had to fight with this powerful Magic Swordsman.

As for Ravel Phenex, Ram, and Rem, they faced off against the remaining two holders of Longinus.

Georg, Georg·Descendant of Faust, a man proficient in Northern Europe Spell Formula, Devil Spell Formula, Fallen Angel Spell Formula,

There are various magic fields such as black magic, white magic, elf magic, etc., and there are also powerful magicians like Longinus"Dimension Lost|.

Leonardo, a descendant of the talented artist Leonardo Leonardo da Vinci, is the youngest member of Hero Faction with Longinus"Annihilation Maker|. Although he is young and does not control Sacred Gear well enough, he still possesses extremely dangerous battlefield suppression capabilities.

Facing these two people, Ravel Phenex, Ram, and Rem can only go together, otherwise the chance of winning alone is slim.

This was Ravel Phenex's judgment. For this reason, she was mentally prepared to deal with the harassment from the remaining members of Hero Faction, and formulated relevant tactics, which was very careful.

Hero Faction Of course, there are more than just the members mentioned above, there are also many peripheral members.

They are either Sacred Gear User, or they have inherited the bloodline or ability of a certain hero in human history. Their strength is not bad, but they are just not as outstanding as the above members.

On that day, Hero Faction came out in full force. In fact, the number of people was far superior to Eligos Peerage.

Therefore, not only Ravel Phenex, but also the girls including Yukino Yukinoshita are mentally prepared to face the enemy's encirclement and suppression in one-to-many situations.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the other members of Hero Faction had no intention of intervening in the battle.

No, it should be said that they had this plan, but were stopped.

"Although the members of Hero Faction are all humans, none of them hold ideals that are too heavy for humans. I can see that from the bottom of their hearts they don't want to rely on other people's power to defeat us. They prefer one-on-one duels and rely on their own strength to defeat their opponents."

Ravel Phenex calm analysis.

"Of course, this was just the situation at the time. Judging from their style, they should not mind attacking in groups if necessary. As long as they can achieve their goals, they will do whatever it takes."

"The reason why they didn't do this that day is not so much that they have a bottom line as heroes, but rather that they were overconfident in their own strength and became arrogant unintentionally."

"They may not think that they need help from others to defeat us. Even if they don't say it, I can tell that they are looking down on us."

Ravel Phenex's words made Yukino Yukinoshita and others sneer or wryly smile one by one.

Leo knows that this is a normal phenomenon.

In the entire Eligos Peerage, except for him, the others are all little girls at most eighteen years old. They are all so pretty, how can they not be looked down upon?

Especially the four Yukino Yukinoshita, Asuna Yuuki, Utaha Kasumigaoka and Mahiru Shiina, the first of them to become the Yukino Yukinoshita of the spring genus Leo E has been reincarnated as Devil for only half a year. Even if it is the host of "Absolute Demise" and the holder of Longinus, how strong can it be?

The members of Hero Faction are all humans, and they are basically all Sacred Gear User, so they know Sacred Gear far better than ordinary people. They know that in just half a year, even the holder of Longinus who can destroy the balance of power cannot become very strong, let alone Yukino Yukinoshita and others were just ordinary humans before reincarnation.

Although the members of Hero Faction are also humans, most of them have inherited the power of a certain hero, and their potential and abilities are far beyond those of ordinary humans.

Therefore, in their view, it is impossible for Yukino Yukinoshita and others who are just ordinary humans to surpass themselves within half a year.

This is the arrogance of Hero Faction.

Although they call themselves heroes, they do not inherit the hero's advantages, but they inherit all the heroes' shortcomings.

This is also what Leo despises most about Hero Faction. He keeps saying that he is a weak human being, but in fact the people who despise weak, ordinary and inconspicuous humans the most are the so-called descendants of heroes who are born to inherit the power of heroes.

Just like the original work, Red Dragon Emperor is known as the weakest in history, but Issei Hyoudou, who was born as an ordinary human, was despised by Cao Cao, and was later blinded in one eye by Issei Hyoudou.

Of course, since then, Hero Faction no longer dares to look down upon Issei Hyoudou, and even regards it as a powerful enemy that needs special attention. This is considered an advantage of Hero Faction. Once it is aware of a problem, it will immediately find ways to make up for it.

Unfortunately, that was only after suffering a loss.

At least, when they first faced Eligos Peerage, Yukino Yukinoshita and others, they were still arrogant.

Their overconfidence in their own strength caused them to stumble this time.

The first one to stumble was Sharon, who rushed directly in front of Yukino Yukinoshita without saying a word.

At that time, she only wanted to take revenge and redeem the failure last time. She made a lot of preparations for this, and she did not dare to be as careless as she was last time and fall into the trap of Yukino Yukinoshita.

But she had no idea that Yukino Yukinoshita had become much stronger than last time.

After the incident where Leif·Trix attacked, Yukino Yukinoshita went through many special trainings and exercises. Compared with the last time he fought with Sharon, his strength is no longer at the same level.

At that time, Yukino Yukinoshita was just a rookie that Demonic Power had not yet broken through to the High-Class Devil level, and Sacred Gear's abilities had not yet been fully explored. Today's Yukino Yukinoshita not only broke through Demonic Power to the level of High-Class Devil, but also completely mastered the abilities of "Absolute Demise", and even reached Balance Breaker, completely transformed.

Looking back at Sharon, she hasn't changed much from last time, at least she's not completely transformed like Yukino Yukinoshita.

She thought she was careless last time and fell into Yukino Yukinoshita's scheme, which was why she capsized in the gutter.

This time, as long as you are extra careful and don't follow Yukino Yukinoshita's tricks, you can defeat the opponent.

After all, she had an absolute advantage last time. If it hadn't been for Yukino Yukinoshita's trick, there was no way she would have lost.

Unexpectedly, this time, Yukino Yukinoshita no longer needed to use tricks to defeat her.

Balance Breaker didn't even activate. Yukino Yukinoshita showed overwhelming strength and defeated Sharon in one confrontation.

She had no intention of being merciful at all. She showed her true strength as soon as she came up, and Sharon was so overwhelmed that she had no ability to fight back. She couldn't believe that this was Yukino Yukinoshita's strength.

Sharon hadn't even completely suppressed the shock in his heart, and he didn't even react. Just like last time, he turned into an ice sculpture.

The difference is that last time she was reduced to this state because of the technique that Yukinoshita Yukino deliberately learned, but this time she was frozen into an ice sculpture by Hyouhime who followed Yukinoshita Yukino's orders, completely losing her fighting ability.

"----The fate between me and that woman should end here."

When this matter was brought up, Yukino Yukinoshita said this with a complicated face.

In her opinion, after this battle, Sharon is no longer her opponent, can no longer pose a threat to her, and naturally cannot continue to pester her.

She couldn't even force out her Balance Breaker, but was unilaterally suppressed by her and easily defeated. How could Sharon fight her in the future?

From now on, that woman won't be able to pester her anymore.

"Not necessarily. Who knows what that crazy woman will do in the future?"

Leo actually feels that with Sharon's madness, even if he gains some forbidden power and becomes stronger quickly, it is not something to be surprised about.

For example, Ophis's "snake" may be disdainful to people with Hero Faction, but Sharon may not necessarily feel repulsed by it.

If that woman swallowed Ophis's "snake", she might be able to pose a threat to Yukino Yukinoshita.

However, that is also a matter of the future.

The victory of Yukino Yukinoshita was also the first highlight of Eligos Peerage that day.

Behind it is the highlight of Hero Faction.
