Volume 3 Chapter 114 – Gremory VS Phenex Rating Game Part 4

“Queen and Knight, take.” Yubelluna appeared behind Issei floating in the air.

“It’s just like with Koneko-chan… Now Akeno-san and Kiba too!” Issei gritted his teeth and taunted Riser’s Queen, “Get down here! I’ll avenge them all!”

“Heh!” But Yubelluna just sneered at him and flew away to Riser’s side where he is confronting Rias and Asia.

“Sh*t! Hold it!” Issei chased after her and neared the new school building which is the base of the opposing team, but before he could enter, he is shocked that Riser’s little sister is still fine and explained that she too is an immortal Pheonix and also explained the existence of Phoenix Tear that helps Yubelluna to defeat Akeno. Ravel tried to talk to him and make him give up the game, but she instead was ignored and threatened back.

Issei entered the building and promoted himself to ‘Queen’ increasing his overall strength.

“Sona-kaichou, How does that ‘Promotion’ works?” After seeing her calm down sufficiently, Kisuke asks Sona about the ‘Pawn’ piece.

“Ehem… Every piece is connected to the King registered in it. When we use a piece on someone, it uses our Demonic Power to promote our servant’s strength. Queen promotes overall strength largely, Bishop promotes Magic Power, Knight promotes speed, Rook promotes defense and power and Pawn promotes overall strength but in smaller quantities. But Pawns have the potential to become any of the other pieces at the expense of the King’s Demonic Power.” Sona explained cleanly.

“Heh…” Kisuke turned his focus back to the screen and thought, ‘So unless Koneko-chan gets away from Gremory-san’s influence, it’ll be hard for her to promote her strength stronger than Gremory-san’s Demonic Power. There is still a big leeway as Gremory-san’s potential is mostly untapped, but it won’t be like that forever.’

On the screen, Riser started beating up Issei who is already overloaded with magic due to his Boosted Gear and coughing blood. Asia tried to heal him but Yubelluna blocked her ability. Rias could only help Issei by throwing balls made out of Power of Destruction, but even though she wound him enough that others would instantly die from it, Riser kept regenerating even if his head was blown off. Truly an immortal Phoenix.

Kisuke, without a word, stood up and walks towards the door to exit.

“Where are you going?” Sona also stood up and ask him. She thought that Kisuke already gave up watching as it is painfully obvious that Rias couldn’t win. But she still wanted to see it through the end.

“I already know the result, so I have to leave.”

“Have to leave? Couldn’t you stay until the match ends?”

“Nope, I have to go and asks Yoruichi to help that Fried Chicken not to get killed. After all, if he dies under that hulking cat’s hands, it’s going to be a pain in the *ss.” Kisuke didn’t turn around and continues walking outside without waiting for Sona and Tsubaki’s reactions.

Sona stared blankly on the door where Kisuke just left, “…What…?” After comprehending what he just said Sona looked at the screen which features the woods, but the lying Koneko is already nowhere to be found. Sona and Tsubaki looked around and saw her walking openly on the Sporting Field while her eyes are closed and she is already in her nekomata form.

Sona furrowed her brows as Koneko is now giving off a different aura, like that of a wild beast. She didn’t want to believe that Koneko can actually kill Riser because if she’s really capable of it, then she would have to reevaluate Kisuke and Yoruichi. And they will inevitably gather attention which she didn’t want to happen at this point.

In the Gremory Mansion, Millicas sighed at his Aunt’s defeat. Even though his grandfather wants to see this result, he still wished from the bottom of his heart for Rias to win this game and attain freedom. Venelana was also disappointed at the result but didn’t say anything as she already expected this.

Only Sirzechs furrowed his brows at what’s happening which garnered Zeoticus and Venelana’s attention, “What’s wrong, Sirzechs?” Zeoticus asks, ‘So he didn’t really want to see this marriage happening.’ Venelana, after looking at his expression also thought the same.

Sirzechs shook his head, he knew what they are thinking and denied it, “That’s not it… I told you since the start of the game, right? There’s an interesting Human who trained Koneko and looking at her right now, he’s more than interesting now.

Both of them had a confused look and looked for Koneko who they thought is already out of the game. And just like Sirzechs, Zeoticus and Venelana furrowed their brows because of the feeling she is giving them right now. Even though Koneko is walking slowly and peacefully, she’s like a drawn sword, lusting after the blood of her opponent.

Riser is grabbing Issei’s head, who is already black and blue from the torture Riser gave him, and raised him in the air, “Hmmph, give it up. You have no way of winning.”

“Issei!” Rias shouted in dispair while Asia couldn’t do anything but cry in the background.

Riser turned his head to Rias, “Resign now. Don’t drag this any longer.”

Rias couldn’t answer him but she’s already thinking of resigning. But Riser thought that she’s still hesitating, so he raised his free arm and clad it flames ready to obliterate Issei’s head who’s still glaring at him, while already unconscious. His tenacity shocked even Riser. As he is about to bring his arm down, Rias shouted, “Riser! Stop! I–”

Before she could complete her words, however, she notices that Issei already disappeared from in front of Riser… along with his arm which is holding him.

“What!?” Yubelluna and Ravel exclaimed and looked around. They saw Koneko with her eyes closed carrying Issei in princess carry as she slowly walks to Rias and Asia who are crying their eyes out.

Koneko put him in front of Asia and removed the bindings that Yubelluna cast of her to stop her from moving with a wave of her hand. She then faced Rias and said, “I’m sorry for being late, Buchou.”

“Ko…Ko-neko…?” Rias stuttered as she called her name. She may be speaking calmly and has a neutral expression, but she can somehow feel her unprecedented fury. This is the first time she has seen her like this and certainly wouldn’t imagine that she’s capable of giving away this kind of demeanor.

“Koneko Toujo… Yubelluna, I thought I told you to deal with her… What is she doing here?” Ravel eyed Koneko and the bad feeling she’s getting from the start is getting worse.

“Even though I wasn’t able to retire her, I’m pretty sure that she took considerable damage and couldn’t get up for a short time.” Yubelluna defended herself.

“It doesn’t matter… No matter how fast she is, she can’t hurt me. And I doubt she can keep that kind of speed up. Although I must say that it caught me off guard… For a Rook to be able to move that fast. What if you’re a Knight instead?” Riser casually spoke and stopped them from arguing. His arm already returned to its previous state before Koneko even reach Rias.

“You’re about to resign, Rias? Just say it and–” Riser was interrupted yet again, but this time he saw clearly Koneko appeared in front of him in a strange form and grabbed his head and threw him towards the center of the Sporting Field creating a large explosion of soil and dust.
