"The two factions will be moving to their [Base Formation] at first. Lady Riaz's [Base Formation] is on the east side of the second floor, while Lady Cangna's [Base Formation] is on the west side of the first floor. If a [Soldier] wishes to [Upgrade], please proceed to your opponent's [Base Formation], "Gulefia's voice was heard from the broadcast.
"No wonder it looks so familiar," Sei Itō said in realization.
The so-called shopping mall was actually a comprehensive department store. It had everything that one needed in life, whether it was a pet shop, a game center, a restaurant, a bookstore, or a pharmacy. It could be said that once one entered this building, one would not have to worry about spending money.
"There are special rules for this competition. The information has been sent to all factions, please confirm. The [Phoenix's Tear] will be given to each faction as a recovery item. Also, the duration of the battle is 30 minutes. During this period, both sides are prohibited from making contact with each other. The competition is scheduled to begin 30 minutes later, "Gulefia continued.
At the same time, maids walked into the hall one by one, delivering detailed information about the additional rules of the competition to every spectator.
Sei Itō took the information and looked at it.
"The restrictions are quite strict," Sei Itō exclaimed after roughly browsing through the additional rules.
There were two additional rules. One was [Do not destroy the Mall as the battleground], and the other was [Do not use Gaspar Verradi's divine artifact]. The first one was not much to say. It was to suppress large-scale magic attacks and turn the competition into a detailed battle to test the strategies of both sides. The second rule was more targeted. It blocked Riaz's hand, but the reason was clear. Gaspar's control over the divine artifact was still unstable. It could easily hurt himself, so he was prohibited from using the divine artifact for protection.
However, both of these rules did not seem to be in Riaz's favor. After all, Jenova's Holy Sword Dilandar was best at using Holy Impact to deal large-scale damage to its surroundings.
Sei Itō raised his head and looked at the screen.
On the screen, Riaz split into four groups after a brief discussion with her kin. The first team consisted of Kitten herself. She stayed alone on the second floor and charged head-on. A team consisting of Kiba Yuto and Jenova headed to the parking lot on the first floor of the mall. The other team was led by Gaspar, who used his vampire ability to transform into a large number of bats and flew around the mall to collect information. The remaining team consisted of Lias and Zhu Nai. They would stay in their formation for the time being and wait for the match to start before they could move.
On the other hand, Chi Qucana, who was Riaz's opponent, also made the necessary arrangements according to the information in his hands.
For example, Spoon Yuan Shirou and the little girl with two ponytails went to the second floor.
For example, the Queen — Shinra Chun-hime and the Chariot — Yui Yori and the Knight — Patrol Handle went to the underground parking lot.
For example, the remaining two did nothing but wander around the mall.
…
Just like that, both sides were unaware of each other. Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
"Time's up. Also, this match will be a short battle with a time limit of three hours. Now, let the match begin. "Gulefia's voice came from the broadcast at the right time.
"Sounds good." Sei Itō chuckled.
"Let's hope Riaz can win." Sarjex on the side added.
"Victory belongs to my Sangna-chan." At this moment, the other Demon King, Seraphle Leviathan, came to their side and spoke in a strange way of speaking.
"So this is the current [Red Dragon Emperor]?" Beside Seraphle, an old man dressed like a Muslim sized up Sei Itō and said.
Beside him was a silver-haired girl in a skirt and armor. She also looked at Sei Itō with a curious expression.
"Come, let me introduce you. This old bastard is the leader of Valhalla from the northern countryside, Odin. "Assashel introduced with a nasty tone.
"Bad boy of the Fallen Angels, that's slander." Odin said with dissatisfaction.
"Then don't do anything despicable." Assashel retorted without holding back.
"Hmph." Odin snorted and looked at Sei Itō again.
"You have a strange smell on you." A moment later, Odin's only remaining eye flashed with a glint.
Naturally. The smell he was talking about was not a real smell, but something else that Odin valued.
"Really? Maybe there's something wrong with your nose, "Sei Itō, who also understood this, raised an eyebrow and retorted without any fear.
"Is that so? Probably. "Odin looked at Sei Itō seriously and chuckled.
Then, the two of them skipped the topic. Instead, they focused on watching the Ratinggame that was playing on the screen.
Beside them, Sagex and Assashel looked at each other and did not say anything. They quietly watched the game that was going on.
"One of Lady Riaz Jimenry's [Monk] has left the stage." At this moment, Gulefia's announcement came from the broadcast.
The [Monk] that was left was Gaspar. Under the intentional guidance of the two followers of Chikura who were wandering around, Gaspar, who had turned into a bat, was lured to the food area. Due to the large number of bat clones that had gathered, Gaspar returned to his human form and fainted from the smell of garlic in the food area.
"Small trick," Odin said with disdain.
"Being able to use the advantage of the venue reasonably and finding a way to counter the opponent is also a smart move." Assashel chuckled.
At the same time, Kitten on the second floor and Shiba Yudou and Jenova on the first floor's parking lot also met their opponents, Shiba Motoshiro and Rinmuru Ryuko, as well as Shinra Chunji, Yuri Yori, and Shiba Kuba.
Then, the screen that was playing the scene on the second floor where the kitten was suddenly turned into a blazing white. However, it quickly returned to normal and the scene on the second floor was replayed.
At this moment, Little Kitten, who had cat ears on her head and a cat tail on her back, had entered Nekomata state and activated her mystical ability. She closed her eyes and resisted the attacks of the twin-tailed girl named Renmuru Ryuko with all her might. At the same time, a light blue energy beam connected her to the divine artifact in her hand — Black Dragon Vein's Key Motoshiro. Little Kitten's power was absorbed by Key Motoshiro's divine artifact.
However, this situation quickly changed. Little Kitten, who had recovered her vision, counterattacked, and Renmuru Ryuko's body began to wobble. Her eyes were in a daze as if she was having a psychotic episode.
Seizing this opportunity, Little Cat instantly punched out with his fists covered in a faint white mist towards Ren Village Liu Zi's chest.
Bam!
With a dull thud, Renmuru Ryuko knelt on the ground as expected.
"Mystical ability," Athasher exclaimed.
"Good teaching," Sei Itō said to Tacheng Heige beside him.
"One of Lord Cangna Sytry's [Soldier] has left the field." At the right time, Gulefia's announcement came from the broadcast.
Then, the kitten in the picture turned around and rushed toward Keyless Scholar.
Unwilling to wait for death, Key gathered a ball of mana in his hand and turned it into a magic bullet, which he shot at Little Kitten.
Little Kitten's figure flashed as she advanced. She suddenly turned into an afterimage and disappeared from the front of the magic bullet. Then, she appeared in front of Key and punched out with her fists covered in white mist.
Bam!
Key's body was instantly thrown back.
Compared to Renmuru Ryuko, who had a close-combat divine artifact, Key's close-combat ability was weak. He was no match for Little Kitten who specialized in punching and kicking. So, after a while. Gulefia's announcement sounded in everyone's ears again.
"One of Lord Cangna Sytry's [Soldier] has left the field."
Then, Little Kitten turned around and moved towards the enemy's main camp.
On the other side, in the parking lot on the first floor.
After a short conversation, the five people from both sides immediately started fighting.
It was worth mentioning that the weapon in Jenova's hand wasn't her sacred sword, Dilandar. Instead, it was the 'bribe' that Michael gave to Sei Itō as a gift — Akaslon. As for why Jenova got her hands on it. Due to the drawbacks of the sacred sword Dilandar, after the instructor of the Supernatural Research Club, Athashel, had assigned everyone a training mission, he borrowed the dragon-slaying sacred sword Ascalon from Ito Sei and gave it to Jenova to familiarize himself with.
The two sides fought fiercely.
Then, they suddenly stopped. Jenova and Kiba Yuto switched opponents.
Then, the two sides started fighting again.
But soon, an unexpected change occurred. Under Jenova's attack, the huge decorative mirror that suddenly appeared in front of Shinra Chunji shattered. Then, Jenova spat out a mouthful of blood. She fell to the ground.
"That's … the Divine Artifact [Mirror of Remembrance], right?" Athasiel sighed.
The Mirror of Remembrance was a Divine Artifact that, when damaged, could return the damage back to the opponent. Other than that, it could only be used when it was in perfect condition. It could be used to summon Mutants from another dimension to attack. It was quite a powerful Divine Artifact.
Then, a new change appeared on the screen.
After Jenova fell to the ground, Shiba Yuto, who was enraged, shouted loudly. Using the Divine Spirit Aura from the alternate dimension that Jenova created for him to store Holy Sword Dilandar, he combined it with his Divine Artifact [Demon Sword Creation] to create a large number of Holy Demon Swords with the aura of Holy Sword Dilandar. The swords were stabbed into the ground like rain.
"One of Lord Cangna Sytry's [Chariot] and [Knight] has left the field."
"One of Lord Riaz's [Knight] has left the field." Along with Kiba Yuto's attack, Gulefia's voice was heard through the broadcast.
After finishing their respective battles, Kitten, Kiba Yuto, Riaz, and Junai, who hadn't moved much, walked towards Cangna and the others.
After a while, everyone gathered together. Kiba Yuto swung the Holy Demon Sword in his hand and cut off the blue energy threads that were still connected to Kitten even though the original owner had left the field.
Even so, such a long period of extraction still made the kitten dizzy and her face pale. So, her legs soon went soft and she sat on the ground. Lying down, she barely kept her consciousness and did not faint. But it was impossible for her to fight now.
After that, Riaz and Zhi Qu Cangna chatted for a while before the battle began.
"Sigh, she's been led around by her opponent. Is this the combat level of the next head of the Gimli Family? "
"Compared to the Sytry Family, the Gimli Family's princess has always been at a disadvantage."
"It's her first time, so it's inevitable that she's inexperienced."
"…"
Watching the battle on the screen, similar comments immediately rang out in the entire viewing hall. However, judging from the comments, they all had a slightly worse impression of Riaz's battle.
But it couldn't be helped. Without Hyoto Issei's presence and the miraculous skill of Breast Translation, Riaz, who didn't know that she had been tricked into a barrier, was fighting with the Essence Illusion inside the barrier. It was only when Junai and Kiba Yuto's battle broke out that the illusion was broken. In the end, with Kitten's reminder, Riaz discovered Cangna's real body that was hiding on the roof.
So it was natural that the comments were low.
Fortunately, in the final battle between the [King] and the [King], Riaz used her destructive magic to defeat Zhi Qu Cangna, who possessed water magic. She then killed the [King] and won the battle. So in the end, while the comments of the higher-ups weren't full of praises, it was still acceptable. They were quite satisfied with the performance of Riaz and her family.
At this point, Riaz's first official ratinggame ended with her victory. Compared to the original work where she lost to Phoenix, it was much better. At least there wasn't so much gossip.
"Ratinggames are really interesting." Sei Itō chuckled.
"Didn't you already make the chess pieces? How about it? Do you want to participate in the invitations for a while? "Assashel glanced at Tacheng Heiga, who was standing beside Sei Itō, and laughed.
"Forget it, that would make a good match into a complete farce." Sei Itō said softly.
"That's true." Assashel agreed.
"Okay, excuse me. I'm going to see Riaz and the others." Sei Itō said.
"Let's go together." Sarjex smiled.
"Okay." Sei Itō nodded in agreement.
Then the two of them said goodbye to Odin and Seraphle and walked out of the audience hall together. They came to the area specially used to receive and settle the wounded in the ratinggame. They found Riaz's room and walked in.
