Chapter 406
The "Rating Game" is a game competition in which the superior and highest -High-class Devil become "Kings" and lead their subordinate demons to fight against other superior and highest- High-class Devil!
It is also one of the main ways to determine the status of a demon!
Excellent performance in the competition will also raise the rank of the familiar demons.
Because it is based on chess, the configuration of "Rating Game" and "Devil Chess Pieces" is the same.
One "King", one "Queen", two "Rooks", two "Knights", two "Bishops", and eight "Pawns".
Each piece has different abilities.
However, the "Pawn" Devil Chess Pieces is also extremely special.
The greater the potential of the person being reincarnated, the more "Pawn" Devil Chess Pieces will be used for reincarnation!
Thinking of this, Luo Mio glanced slightly at Yicheng, who was listening to his Club President explain the rules and Issei of the "Rating Game".
In Luo Mio's limited memory, Issei was the first familiar demon to be reborn using eight "Pawn" Devil Chess Pieces.
The biggest reason for this is Issei's "divine weapon".
One of the thirteen "Longinus" is the "Boosted Gear"!
For this reason, Issei possessed infinite possibilities and potential, and thus used Rias's eight "Pawn" Devil Chess Pieces when he was reincarnated as a demon.
"So, we're going to have a 'Rating Game' with your fiancé, Club President?"
"Um."
Rias also said.
"Because this is the only way to dissolve the engagement."
As she spoke, Rias also looked at Sona beside her.
"Previously, Sona also used this method to defeat her fiancé and break off the engagement."
Upon hearing this, Issei clenched his fists and spoke with great enthusiasm.
"Then let's help the Club President beat him to a pulp!"
Seeing Issei's enthusiastic demeanor, everyone smiled.
Meanwhile, Luo Mio glanced at Issei indifferently before looking away.
——
The next afternoon.
Issei and Asia left the classroom first and headed towards the "Occult Research Club".
Luo Mio went to the school Convenience Store first and bought a bag of delicious ice cream.
Because school had already let out, the area in front of the Convenience Store wasn't as crowded as it was during lunch break, and Luo Mio easily bought several ice creams.
Perhaps it is truly because of the Kallen Family that Luo Mio has now become a complete foodie.
When it's mealtime, Luo Mio completely transforms into a "eat-and-dry" person.
They'd love to dive headfirst into their food.
While eating ice cream, Luo Mio walked towards the Old School Building.
A short while later, Luo Mio arrived downstairs.
In order to enjoy the delicious ice cream, Luo Mio deliberately ate it very slowly, bite by bite.
When they arrived at the Old School Building, Luo Mio had only finished eating two sticks.
I walked up the stairs and arrived at the classroom door of the "Mysterious Research Club".
"Um?"
At this moment, Luo Mio also sensed a fluctuation of a Magic Circle emanating from inside.
Just as Luo Mio opened the door...
"Call----!"
Flames erupted from the Magic Circle, instantly scorching the entire room.
A wave of scorching heat instantly swept through the entire room, and sparks from the flames spread throughout the interior.
A male figure stood amidst the flames, then with a wave of his hand, the surrounding flames and heatwave vanished instantly.
If Kiba is a sunny and dashing man, then the figure in front of you is the kind of bad boy.
The man was wearing a red suit, but he didn't have the seriousness and restraint that a suit usually has. He wasn't wearing a tie, and his shirt was open, revealing his chest. He looked to be in his early twenties.
Luo Mio, standing at the door, glanced at the man in the center of the Magic Circle, then looked down at the bag of ice cream she was carrying.
In an instant, Luo Mio's face became empty and cold.
Originally, Luo Mio could have blocked the heat wave the moment it hit her.
But perhaps influenced by that little old woman, Saikyo Neine, Luo Mio has become the type who doesn't bother to dodge unless it's a fatal blow.
Only when the heatwave hit did Luo Mio realize what was happening...
She was even carrying ice cream herself.
At such high temperatures, the ice cream melted into a sticky liquid the moment it was touched.
"..."
The man then raised his eyes and looked inside the room.
"Ah~ It's been so long since I've been to the human world."
When his eyes met Rias, he smiled immediately.
"My dear Rias, I've come to see you."
When Rias saw him, her expression was not as happy and joyful as he had imagined; instead, she was indifferent and rejected him.
Instead, she slightly opened her mouth, looking at him with a very subtle expression.
Even Akeno, who was standing next to Rias, covered her mouth with one hand, seemingly laughing at something.
Similarly, apart from the expressionless Koneko Toujou, everyone else also seemed unsure of what to say.
However, the man vaguely sensed a hint of schadenfreude in the expressions of Rias and the others.
"Liya..."
Before he could finish saying "ss," the man suddenly felt a sharp, rapid whooshing sound behind him.
Before the man could react...
A fist containing immense force struck his back instantly.
"Goo-ah—!"
The immense force caused him to scream in pain.
Then the man's figure was seen flying into the room.
Just as it was about to smash into the wall, Rias gently moved her hand.
A bright red Magic Circle suddenly appeared in front of the wall.
"Bang--!"
Because of the Magic Circle, the man was not smashed into the wall of the room.
After being attacked, the man immediately turned around, and at the same time, scalding hot flames emerged from behind him.
But in the next second, he still hadn't seen where the enemy who attacked him was.
A figure, as dark and icy as night, appeared before him in an instant, like a ghost.
He grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up.
The moment he was grasped, the man was shocked to discover that he could not use his magic.
No matter how hard I try, I can't unleash my magic.
And when the man looked down...
A woman with pure white hair as white as paper and flawless beauty was looking at him with cold, emotionless eyes.
"Hey, roast chicken, have you figured out how to make up for my ice cream?"
Chapter Ten: Ten Days!
"..."
The words were hollow, yet the tone sent a chill down the man's spine.
But his pride as the third son of the Phoenix Family made him glare angrily at the silver-haired girl in front of him.
Because subconsciously he thought that the silver-haired girl in front of him was Rias's servant.
How could he, who was about to become Rias's husband, be grabbed by the neck and lifted up by his future wife's servant?
"You rascal..."
The man angrily berated Luo Mio while using all his strength to summon magic to break free from Luo Mio's restraints.
But he was still being too naive.
The magic within him and the proud flame of his Phenex family were both impossible to unleash, no matter what method he used, as if they were "sealed."
Looking at the man, Luo Mio spoke slowly once again.
"Have you figured out how you're going to compensate me for the ice cream?"
The man didn't understand what Luo Mio said either.
Huh?
Hearing the question in the man's voice, Luo Mio also sighed slightly.
Then he slowly raised his head.
"Alas!"
Luo Mio looked at the man and smiled sweetly.
"I remember demons are terrified of crosses, right?"
Upon hearing this, the man's eyes twitched slightly.
"What... what do you want to do?!"
Luo Mio's sweet smile was as terrifying as a demon in the man's eyes.
"It's nothing..."
After saying that, Luo Mio turned to Asia and spoke.
"Asia".
"Yes... yes!"
Luo Mio turned her head to look at Asia and said with a gentle smile.
"Excuse me, could I borrow your old cross?"
This made it clear to everyone else what Luo Mio was planning to do.
It's important to know that before Asia was reincarnated as a demon, she was a Saintess in the church.
The kind where you carry a cross with you.
And just then...
Inside the room, a silver-white Magic Circle appeared once again.
Feeling the fluctuations of the Magic Circle, Luo Mio also turned her head slightly.
Then, in Rias's and Issei's eyes...
A group of beautiful women of all shapes and sizes appeared inside the "Occult Research Club".
And leading the group was none other than the "Queen" of the Demon King Sirzechs, the silver-haired mature maid that Luo Mio saw next to Sirzechs yesterday.
