"It doesn't matter"
"I will not underestimate an enemy and I will explain my strategies to him before the battle is over," Kozue said, looking at Rias and the others having fun.
"..."
Ravel looked at Kozue in frustration, but there was nothing she could do in her position.
The human next to her was not only extremely strong, but also cautious and would not give them any chance to reverse the situation.
As the strategist for his brother's nobility, Ravel was very intelligent and had already thought about what was possibly happening.
The swordsman. The key to everything was the swordsman, and Ravel had never thought he would use his skills to neutralize his brother in that way.
According to the information they had about Rias's nobility, the swordsman had a Sacred Gear that allowed him to create demonic swords with different properties, and from what he was seeing, he had created a sword that caused or amplified pain in the victim.
In this way, his brother's mind was tormented by pain and unable to regenerate properly. And if this continued, his demonic energy would soon run out, and he would lose the battle.
Of course, Queen Rias played a crucial role in this plan by electrocuting Riser so that the young Phenex could only stand still and obediently endure the abuse.
Frustrated, the little blonde girl could only go back to watch the battle and wait for it to end.
[Riser Phenex cannot continue]
[Rías Gremory wins]
And as Ravel expected, his brother was soon enveloped in a sphere of light and teleported out of the battle dimension as Satan's wife Lucifer announced Rias's victory.
"¡YYYYY!"
"WE WON!"
In the distance, Rias shouted with joy as she jumped and hugged Akeno beside her.
Koneko and Kiba also happily approached, and Rias hugged them too.
"Well, this is over," Kozue said as she sighed at one less problem, but she knew that the problems would only increase from now on and she couldn't slack off on her training.
"See you later, take care until we meet again next time," Kozue said as she rubbed the heads of the two women beside her.
"Hey!" Ravel shouted when Kozue ruffled her hair, but Kozue just laughed as she walked away.
Behind him, Ravel stared at his back with complicated emotions.
Yubelluna also had complicated emotions, as she was saddened by the defeat of her team and her King. But she was also happy that her King no longer had anything to do with Rias Gremory from now on.
"¡Kozue!"
When Kozue approached the others, Rias was the first to rush towards him with a smile on her face and her arms wide open.
Smiling, Kozue also opened his arms to receive the happy redhead and prepared to receive the force with which the redhead would reach him.
!!!!!!!
What he didn't expect was that his Observation Haki told him what the redhead wanted to do, and his mind raced, trying to figure out how to respond.
As Rias slowly approached, Kozue only came to one conclusion.
Let everything flow.
Acting surprised, Kozue opened his eyes 'surprised' when Rias jumped on him and pressed her lips against his.
!!!!!
Kozue wasn't the only one surprised, as Koneko and Kiba were also shocked to see Rias kissing Kozue.
Of course, Akeno was the only one who wasn't surprised by Rias's move and just smiled as it all happened.
.
.
.
Before Grayfia announces Rias's victory.
"Well, this is happening," said the head of the Phenex family.
Surprised by what he saw on the screen, the blond man had to hide his smile.
The head of the Phenex family was very surprised by his son's defeat, but he wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Regarding the pain and humiliation your son was going through?
The head of the Phenex family didn't care much about that, since his family's lineage made all physical injuries insignificant. Furthermore, he also hoped that the humiliation would make his son change his attitude.
"Rias had a very good plan," said Venelana Gremory, Rias's mother.
Unlike the head of the Phenex family, Venelana did not bother to hide her happiness on her face and happily watched her daughter lead her nobility to defeat her fiancé.
Beside Venelana, Zeoticus's face was ashen as he watched his plans disappear.
The head of the Phenex family was not the only one who thought about the possibility of the Phenex lineage appearing in his family.
As had once happened with the destructive power of the Bael family, Zeoticus expected the same to happen with the bloodline of immortality of the Phenex family.
Although the chances were slim, Zeoticus had nothing to lose by trying.
And since Rias was his heir and Riser was only the third child, it was easy to specify in the engagement contract that the child to be born would bear the surname Gremory.
"..."
Although his daughter was against the marriage, Zeoticus believed that she would come to see the good side of it in the future and would be even more grateful if the child miraculously awakened both of his parents' bloodlines.
But he didn't want to be called a bad father, so he offered his daughter the opportunity to annul the engagement through a Rating Game.
Given Riser's strength and complete nobility, Zeoticus didn't believe his daughter had any chance and only hoped she would finally be convinced that this marriage was right for her and good for her family.
Of course, now seeing Riser's condition and how he couldn't even defend himself, Zeoticus could only accept that he had been wrong.
And as his wife said, his daughter's battle plan was perfect for dealing with Riser's immortality and the power difference between them.
Of course, there was someone else who played a crucial role in this battle.
Looking at the human standing between the fourth daughter of the Phenex and the queen of Riser, Zeoticus wondered when such a talented human had appeared.
Without the human taking charge of Riser's nobility and leaving Riser in the hands of his daughter and her peerage, Rias would not have had the opportunity to win this Rating Game.
And seeing how young he is, Zeoticus wonders what level of power he could reach without changing his race.
The human race was the most populous race in the world, yet not the strongest. It had no advantages over any other race and was inherently weak.
The only thing that could be said to be an advantage of that human was its versatility.
Of course, until God gave them, or condemned them as many think, the Sacred Gear.
A Sacred Gear was a device that bonded with a human's soul and could grant certain abilities.
And although most of them were not so flashy and only replicated some magical or other race's ability, this gift from God could not be underestimated by the other races because the strongest Sacred Gears are capable of taking a human to extremely high levels of power; after all, these Longinus are known as being able to kill a God.
Of course, having a Sacred Gear only made many humans persecuted, but the advantages were clear.
Without a Sacred Gear or ancestry from another supernatural race, it was very difficult for a pure human to reach great heights of power.
One of the few examples is Vasco Strada, a Vatican exorcist who can confront supreme beings.
Of course, Vasco Strada was human and was now getting old.
As he recalled, Vasco Strada was already over 90 years old, and his power level had surely diminished somewhat. And although he could live for more than 200 or even 300 years with his abilities and strength, his power level was destined to continue declining over time.
Very different from a supernatural race like demons, for whom being 100 years old was still considered young.
Mortality. That was what most humans were condemned to, and only a few could say they could live longer without going through reincarnation or using certain rituals that would make them lose their humanity and look more like ghosts or monsters.
When the evil pieces created by Ajuka Beelzebub appeared, none of the humans wanted or dared to risk going through those procedures when there was a safer method to exponentially extend their life expectancies.
[Riser Phenex cannot continue]
[Rías Gremory wins]
As his eldest son's wife announced his youngest daughter's victory, Zeoticus wondered what the other races would think when they learned that a 17-year-old pure-blooded, supreme-class human had appeared.
