"Riser, I'm coming for you!"
At this moment, their respective battles began.
Everyone knew Issei's intentions and promptly made their moves, allowing him a clear path.
When Riser's two Rooks blocked his way, Koneko didn't hesitate and intercepted both of them.
Looking at them, she took up a fighting stance and beckoned to Riser's Rooks with her finger.
The taunt was complete.
Yuuto intercepted two Knights, and Koneko fought two Rooks alone.
Yubelluna flew in the air, looked at Issei, then raised her staff and aimed.
The staff began to charge.
"Explo…"
"Lightning Strike!"
Yubelluna hadn't finished speaking when a voice sounded from nearby.
She quickly left her original position but it was still too late, and she was grazed by Akeno's lightning.
"Oh my. I didn't expect the famous 'Bomb Queen' to be someone who likes sneak attacks."
"You're no different, Rias's Priestess of Thunder."
"Ara. Yubelluna-san, let me correct you, I am not the Priestess of Thunder but the Priestess of Lightning."
Saying that, Akeno pointed her finger, and a bolt of lightning instantly struck towards Yubelluna, but Yubelluna was not to be underestimated, she also started with a high-level magic.
At this moment, the battle of the two Queens began.
On the field, only Rias and her two Bishops remained.
Riser still had seven Pawns and one Bishop, while Ravel was not participating, merely a bystander.
Issei looked at the seven Pawns blocking him, feeling a bit tricky.
Just as Issei was about to make his move, Rias appeared in front of him with Gasper and Valerie. "Issei, if you want to do it, just go for it boldly. Leave this to us."
"That's right, leave this to us and President."
"Issei-senpai, go for it."
Issei looked at Rias and his comrades and muttered, "Everyone…"
The next second, he was filled with passion again.
"Alright! I'll leave this to you!"
With that, he bypassed Riser's Pawns and charged towards Riser.
He wanted to bring victory to Rias.
Riser's Pawns did not stop him. Instead, they looked at Rias.
The King is the main target.
The seven of us, plus the Bishop providing support from the outside, should have no problem dealing with Rias and the two Bishops.
As long as we take down Rias, this match can end.
As for Issei?
Just a mere Pawn, our master can handle him.
At this moment, Rias and her two Bishops faced Riser's seven Pawns and his Bishop.
Issei looked at Riser not far away and charged without hesitation.
"Come on! You grilled chicken!"
"How dare you!"
Riser was slightly provoked by the word chicken.
His whole body became engulfed in flames, and he crashed into Issei.

Inside the Student Council.
Everyone watched the battle on the live broadcast.
"So… so amazing!"
Shizuka's eyes glowed as she watched the battle scene.
The intertwining of lightning and explosions, the direct crushing of swordsmanship, and the flesh-on-flesh impact of martial arts.
This was truly a Shonen manga!
At this moment, she also wanted to try it herself.
Sona asked, "Abel, how long do you think it will take to finish?"
Facing Sona's question, Abel said with a smile, "That depends on when Riser collapses."
After all, Riser's Rating Game wins mostly came from his 'immortality'.

Exclusive viewing room.
Sirzechs and Ajuka's virtual projections were chatting.
"Sirzechs, why don't we pick a day for Rias and my brother to get engaged?"
"We can, but this matter will have to wait until after the Three Factions Conference."
Listening to Sirzechs' words, Ajuka felt it made sense. However, he didn't take the Three Factions Conference to heart.
After all, for such an important event, the Old Satan Faction would definitely cause some trouble.
Instead of dwelling on these matters, Ajuka discussed with Sirzechs how the engagement banquet should be held.
Riser's elder brother, Ruvel, sat by, saying nothing. After all, his words were useless.
...
The scene returned to the battlefield.
Yuuto's figure was like a phantom. As the sound of metal clashing and sparks constantly flashed, Riser's two Pawns looked at Yuuto with some disbelief.
How could he be so fast?
They were all Knights, so why was his speed so many times greater than theirs?
During these seven days, besides Issei, Yuuto was the second most diligent.
During the day, he studied breathing techniques with Kanae. At night, he continuously refined his swordsmanship.
Abandoning the guidance of magic, he used pure sword techniques and breathing.
"Hoo..."
Yuuto held his sword with both hands and let out a long breath.
Riser's two Knights seemed to sense something and quickly raised their swords to block.
Clang!
The greatsword and longsword in their hands broke in the middle. Only then did they realize that every one of Yuuto's strikes had hit the same spot.
Before they could feel anything, their bodies felt a sharp pain and both of them were pierced through.
Immediately after came—
Sword Birth!
Thus, Riser's Knights were engulfed by swords, then eliminated from the field as particles emanated from their bodies.
[Riser's Knights Eliminated X2]
Following this, good news came one after another.
[Riser's Queen Eliminated.]
[Riser's Rooks Eliminated X2]
In the sky, Akeno's hands glowed with lightning.
In a deep pit on the ground, Yubelluna lied there, her body still surging with electricity. Now she finally understood why Akeno called herself the Priestess of Lightning. The lightning also contained the light attribute, which devils feared the most.
After being struck by Akeno, she not only had to feel the power of the lightning but also the light attribute eroding her body.
Yubelluna pulled out a small, crystal-clear bottle.
The blood inside was like a gem, this was Phenex tears.
This small movement was noticed by Akeno.
"Ara ara. Yubelluna-san, I've had enough fun. So please, exit the stage."
A towering bolt of lightning struck Yubelluna. There was no scream, she was directly eliminated from the game.
