"Exactly," Rias said.
"I'm not a matured Devil yet, so I can't participate in the official tournament. Even if I could, there are things that I need to go through, or else I can't play. In short... " Rias stopped their.
I know the reason as I sensed a presence of the enemy and its intent to kill to aiming towards us.
"I can smell something disgusting. But I can also smell something delicious. Is it sweet? Or is it sour?"
A low voice which is coming from below the ground.
"Stray Devil Vaizor. We are here to eliminate you." Rias said.
"Ketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketaketa keta..." An abnormal laughter resonated around us.
It was the infamous villain laugh. I should try that sometime, I thought.
Suddenly, a topless woman emerged from the shadows, her body unnaturally floating. But it wasn't just her—following her was a grotesque beast.
With a heavy step, a gigantic creature with a woman's upper body and the lower body of a monstrous beast appeared. The being held a spear in each of its hands.
Its lower body, equipped with four fat legs ending in sharp claws, moved with unsettling ease. A snake-like tail writhed independently behind it.
Despite the grotesque form, I couldn't help but notice the sheer size of her chest. Half monster or not, her boobs were huge.
"Leaving your master's side and rampaging as you please definitely deserves death. In the name of Duke Gremory, I will gladly eliminate you!" Rias declared, her presence more commanding and attractive than usual.
"You are cunning for a little girrrrrrl! I will rip your body, and color it in red just like your haaaaaaair!!" the monster bellowed, her voice dripping with malice.
Rias just laughed, undeterred. "Cunts sure do speak in a stylish manner," I chimed in, my voice mocking.
"Kiba, show me the power of the rings," I continued, my eyes fixed on him.
"Yes!" Kiba responded.
Swoof!
Kiba, who had been standing near me, sprinted ahead as soon as I gave the command.
He moved with blinding speed, much faster than before. The rings were clearly enhancing his abilities significantly.
"Issey, I will continue the lecture from before," Rias said, her voice calm amidst the chaos.
Lecture? Issey thought, trying to focus while I was watching the battle unfold. The thing about Evil Pieces' traits or something?
"Yes," Rias continued. "Devils like us use Evil Pieces to create our peerages, granting specific traits to our servants. Kiba here is a Knight, which means he specializes in speed and agility."
Kiba's enhanced speed allowed him to dodge Vaizor's wild swings with ease, his movements a blur.
He closed the distance between them in an instant, his sword slicing through the air with deadly precision.
The rings' power was evident; his strikes were faster, and carried an added weight, but his accuracy was little off.
"The Knights have exceptional speed, while Rooks have tremendous strength and defense," Rias explained to Issey, her eyes never leaving the fight. "Bishops excel in magical abilities, and Queens possess a balanced combination of all these traits."
Issey nodded, trying to absorb the information. "And Pawns?" she asked, curious about her own role.
"Pawns are versatile. They have the ability to promote to any other piece's abilities when they reach the enemy's base, much like in chess," Rias explained. "This makes them incredibly valuable in the right circumstances."
As the lecture continued, Kiba pressed his advantage. He weaved around Vaizor's attacks, landing blow after blow on her monster form.
For some reason, I was not satisfied with his swordplay. There were too many gaps in his technique, openings that a more skilled opponent could easily exploit.
"Kiba, tighten your guard!" I called out, my voice carrying over the clash of steel and the snarls of the Stray Devil. "You're leaving yourself open on the left!"
Kiba glanced back at me for a split second, his expression determined. "Understood!" he replied, adjusting his stance.
He swung his sword again, this time with more precision and a tighter defense. It was an improvement, but still not perfect.
"Move your step a little forward and slash your sword perpendicular to the ground," I instructed, demonstrating the motion. "Keep your center of gravity lower."
Kiba nodded, eyes focused. He adjusted his stance again, stepping forward with more confidence. His sword arced through the air, meeting Vaizor's next strike with a sharper, more controlled parry.
The improvement was immediate. Kiba's movements became smoother, his strikes more accurate than previous.
He was beginning to harness the true potential of the rings, combining their enhancements with refined technique.
Vaizor, now visibly weakened, struggled to keep up with Kiba.
"Ara, ara, Kiba-kun, you can't just have all the fun," Akeno teased, stepping forward with a mischievous smile.
She raised her hand, and sparks of electricity crackled around her fingers. With a flick of her wrist, bolts of lightning shot toward Vaizor.
While vaizor howled in pain, writhing under the assault.
A shadow figure appeared near one of her leg, that was koneko-chan.
"Damn insect," Vaizor try to stomp on koneko.
But the monster's foot didn't hit the ground. It wasn't able to stomp completely.
Gugugu...
The girl with a tiny body is lifting up the monster's foot.
LIFT!
Koneko-chan completely lifts up the monster.
"...Fly"
Koneko-chan jumps high and punches into the monster's stomach very sharply.
BANG!
The enormous body of the monster gets thrown backwards.
That little body is packing lots of power.
