"They are opponents, not enemies. I don't think we are irreconcilable enemies."
Rias laughed when she heard Ais say that.
"You're a really interesting person... Maybe we'll get along well. Would you be interested in joining my side? With your power... I think as long as you gain Baili's approval, growing dozens of times over is no problem."
"Several times?"
Ais was completely confused.
She's reached the LV5 bottleneck and has been stuck at that level for three years. (Read thrilling novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
If it could really increase by dozens of times...
That's not as simple as just upgrading.
"Baili... did he give you all your power?"
"To be precise, it is because we expect to gain power from him that we possess all of this."
"expect……"
"Perhaps it's due to some kind of obsession."
and so……
Rias glanced at the spear in her hand.
"Just like in team battles, I will also finish the battle quickly and let you understand the power of this force."
"I am looking forward."
Do not……
Ais slightly changed her tune
"Hopefully, this battle will bring about change."
She didn't want to stagnate.
Now may be the best opportunity.
next moment--
Ais drew her longsword, the wind-attribute magic aura swirling around its blade vibrating in the air along with her golden hair.
She stepped forward with her left foot, and pointed the longsword in her right hand at Rias.
"Esther Wallenstein".
Rias whispered
"Let's begin..."
Hearing Rias say that, Ais gripped her longsword tightly, exhaled, and calmed herself down while fixing her gaze on Rias.
She then nodded slightly in response.
"Give it your all, Rias."
"Of course."
A black and red energy flow began to surge around Rias's body.
It was a fusion of the power of destiny and the power of the devil, two completely different forces intertwined perfectly under her control.
She channeled this dominant energy onto her body and the surfaces of her weapons, transforming it into combat attire.
After finishing, Rias didn't hesitate and rushed towards Ais like a bolt of lightning.
Her speed was so fast that it almost exceeded the limits of human vision, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air with each step.
Ais reacted quickly, dodging Rias's first attack by sidestepping.
However, the shockwave still made her feel suffocated.
Rias didn't stop; she turned around and swung her spear again!
"——!!!"
Ais raised her longsword to parry, and the two weapons clashed with a deafening roar, sparks flying everywhere.
Despite Ais's best efforts to resist, she could sense that the opponent's strength far exceeded her own!
Rias's every attack felt like it was tearing space itself apart, and she could barely maintain her defense.
"This power...!"
Ais felt a sharp pain in her arm; each impact felt like it was shattering her bones!
She gritted her teeth, trying her best not to let the pain affect her judgment.
We cannot back down...!
Ais silently prayed to herself, trying to find an opportunity to retaliate.
Suddenly, Rias's speed increased dramatically. Using the enhanced speed from her demonic power, she instantly circled behind Ais.
Ais sensed the danger and immediately turned around to try to fight back, but it was too late.
Rias thrust her spear out suddenly!
In that critical moment, Ais instinctively leaned back, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow.
"As expected... simply releasing this level of power is not enough."
After Rias finished speaking, her body suddenly twisted.
Ais's eyes widened as she saw everything in her field of vision expanding and dissolving!
consciousness……
No longer clear!
"That was only one percent."
Rias suddenly spoke amidst the high-speed traffic.
She became serious, her body enveloped in demonic and destiny-related power.
This attack was completely different from previous ones.
The moment Ais raised her weapon to defend herself, she realized that the terrifying power did not seem to come from the weapon in Rias's hand.
But -
The whole world?!
boom! ! !
Ais was hit, and her body flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground.
Ais struggled to stand up.
Her fingers gripped the ground tightly, her nails digging into the soil, trying to find a foothold.
"Cough cough cough...!"
Ais was breathing rapidly, her heart was pounding, and each beat was accompanied by unbearable pain.
At that moment, Ais felt as if her internal organs had been smashed by a heavy hammer!
"No...no..."
Ais murmured softly, sweat mixed with blood sliding down her forehead.
Her vision blurred, and her consciousness began to waver.
But she knew she absolutely could not give up now.
Ais strained to lift herself up, using her longsword for support as she planted it in the ground.
Ais, who was in pain all over her body after being hit by Rias's terrible attack, gasped for breath.
Her legs were trembling uncontrollably, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.
"Not yet..."
Her eyes were fixed on Rias, searching for any flaw.
Rias noticed Ais's struggle, and frowned slightly, but showed no pity.
Do you want to continue?
After she finished speaking, she walked straight over.
Ais didn't answer, but straightened her back again, preparing to face the next attack.
To deal with Rias directly in front of her, Ais concentrated all her strength in her arms, raising her longsword high above her head, ready to launch a final attack.
Rias, wielding a spear, closed the distance, but just as she was about to swing the spear again, she stopped.
Rias looked at Ais, who had raised her longsword.
"You have great perseverance, but that's all."
Rias stood still, and Ais's longsword suddenly slipped from her hand and plunged into the ground.
The next instant, Orario's Fiora lost her power and collapsed onto the ruins beside her.
Rias's previous attack had already robbed her of the ability to continue fighting.
Ais, who was barely holding on, did not last more than five seconds.
She collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily, her eyes revealing resentment and exhaustion.
Looking down at the Sword Princess, Rias gave her a good evaluation.
"Your persistence is truly admirable..."
After saying that, Rias turned around and left without looking back.
He left behind a sentence
"But... if you want to become stronger, then pursue another path."
At the same time, the announcer saw everything that happened.
She shouted again
