"The Rating Game begins!!" The announcer's shout echoed throughout the coliseum. Both locker rooms, Rias Gremory's and Riser's, opened at the same time, and a moment later, the two competing groups were revealed.
"Rias!!" Riser, the first to leave his locker room, spread his flame wings and rose into the air. His arrogant face quickly filled with joy, "If you surrender now, I promise I will be gentle with you..." he said while looking at Rias's group not far away.
"Only three devils?" Riser narrowed his eyes, looked a little more closely, then shook his head, "I suppose so, it does not matter for now, anyway I do not like lolis hahaha."
In Lord Phenex's box, he could not help but smile slightly and then shake his head, gently patting young Ravel's head while looking on with shining eyes.
"Riser still does not know how to behave, he always embarrasses the clan," Ravel murmured with dissatisfaction, "However, it is surprising that you are not participating in the battle," Lord Phenex murmured with a slight smile.
"Me? Ha! It is not necessary, Rias Gremory has lost two important pieces in her peerage, she cannot stand against..." Ravel did not finish speaking. At that exact moment in the arena, Issei had rushed forward, charging like a berserker.
"Itachi..." Issei murmured in a low voice. His gauntlet appeared before the eyes of everyone watching the scene in the coliseum.
Several high- and mid-ranking devils in the stands immediately stood up, watching Issei with wide eyes as serious expressions spread across their faces.
"Red Dragon Emperor..."
The murmur of these devils could be heard throughout the arena. In an instant, the atmosphere shifted from lively to completely serious. Almost no one dared to make a sound.
...
"Is that the Red Dragon Emperor?" Lord Gremory asked as he set his wine glass down on the table. Sirzechs, not far from him, nodded while narrowing his eyes, Grayfia, to his right, however, smiled brightly.
"It seems Lady Rias has been lucky this time," Grayfia acted arrogantly, smiling radiantly, she was truly happy for the redhead in this moment.
"Luck? Hahaha, no, no..." Sirzechs intervened, "Rias has always been talented," As her older brother, of course, he was very pleased, though Lord Gremory remained silent.
...
"Do you think it will be enough to defeat Riser?" Lady Phenex asked not far from Lord Phenex, but there was no answer to her question.
In the other balconies of the Bael and Sitri clans, the reactions of surprise varied, from seriousness to cheerful comments.
On the battlefield, Issei gritted his teeth, "Boost!!" The shout came from his right arm, his hands moved quickly, and he formed a hand seal rapidly.
"Fire Style: Flare!!" Issei stopped not far from two cat girls slightly dazed by the excitement, he inhaled and spewed a large fireball in their direction.
"Tsk!!" Riser, who had been watching all of this, let out a snort, moved quickly, positioned himself in front of the two cat girls, and then condensed a massive fire attack into a column that clashed with Issei's flame.
Clash
The impact of the two fire attacks created a small shockwave. However, Issei's flame was quickly overwhelmed by Riser's fire, and the poor boy could not help but be pushed back.
"What the hell are you all doing?!" Riser shouted. The pieces of his peerage seemed to wake from their daze, they quickly nodded to one another and began moving.
Issei jumped to the side, narrowly avoiding Riser's attack, "Worthless trash... I think I know where this strange attack comes from..." Riser narrowed his eyes, looked at Issei not far away, then raised his head toward the Uchiha clan's balcony.
"Is that Lord Uchiha who taught you personally how to use chakra?" Riser asked himself before smiling and shaking his head, "It does not matter..."
"Kalarmine, Isabela!!" Riser shouted. The next moment, two tall, beautiful women with swords rushed at high speed to attack Issei.
The poor boy dodged quickly and retreated a great distance, he moved his hands to form another hand seal, and once again, "Fire Style: Flare!!" This time, he fired a massive flame toward Isabela.
"Again with the same trick? It will not work..." Isabela easily dodged, while Kalarmine approached Issei dangerously.
"Boost!!" Issei's arm sounded again, he saw Kalarmine closing in with a powerful thrust, moved his body swiftly, and pushed his fist forward to clash against Kalarmine's sword.
Clash
The tip of Kalarmine's sword collided with Issei's gauntlet-covered fist.
A small shockwave spread as Kalarmine smiled,u¡ "Is that all?" Isabela had already taken position behind Issei. She moved swiftly, swinging her sword toward Issei's neck.
However, that was not all. Niube and Burent, under previous orders from Riser, had also rushed in to attack Issei.
Now facing four melee fighters, Issei's face looked somewhat calm. From his waist, he pulled out a small scroll and threw it quickly into the air.
"Huh?" Kalarmine, Isabela, Niube, and Burent were all surprised at the same time. However, a moment later, the scroll acted like a small flash bomb, exploding and temporarily blinding them.
"Aaaghh!!" The four female demons let out a slight cry of pain as their eyes were completely hit by the sudden light.
...
"Water Style: Water Wall!!" Akeno summoned a wall of water to defend herself from the combined fireball of Mira and Marion. Then she moved her hands again rapidly.
"Water Style: Water Bullet!!" The masochist moved quickly, launching a powerful water bullet the size of a large ball toward Mira and Marion.
"Is that all?" Marion smiled, extended her hands, and controlled a whip of fire that quickly caused the water bullet to explode into multiple droplets that scattered around, slightly wetting her clothes and the ground.
"Hehehe..." Akeno laughed slightly, then used her demonic magic to unleash a barrage of bright yellow lightning. However, since she had already summoned a large amount of water, the floor where Mira and Marion stood was completely wet.
Akeno quickly launched her lightning in the direction of the nearest wet area, and as a result, both Mira and Marion were unable to dodge.
"Graagh!!" The screams of both girls echoed as Akeno continued to unleash her lightning. The powerful noise caught everyone's attention, especially due to the cleverness of the girl in combining her attacks.
