Chapter 81: Feel Stupid Moment
(Sairaorg POV)
WAIT, RIAS SENT OUT (Y/N)?!
I now felt pretty horrible, I thought she was going to send out Kiba or Rossweisse, so I sent Coriana out! I looked at my Peerage, noticing how it was only me, Regulus, and Kuisha. I looked in the audience, and noticed a small girl with glasses was holding up a sign that read 'stab all the bitches'. She must be from (Y/N)'s group, still, I thought she looks like someone I should meet. I noticed that Kuisha didn't look too well for some reason, so I checked up on her. If she wasn't feeling well, I'll make her retire so she could rest. Even though I don't like any of my pieces in a romantic sense, they're like siblings to me. "Hey, Kuisha, are you okay?" I questioned my Queen piece. "You look like you're two seconds for losing your lunch."
"Forgive me Lord Sairaorg, but I believe I overate at breakfast and now the stress is getting to me." Kuisha does have a habit of overeating when she is stressed, and to be honest, I assumed she was poisoned by (Y/N). "So who do you think? Coriana with our secret technique or the Red Dragon Emperor?"
"Kuisha, what are you talking about?" I questioned my Queen piece. "The Red Dragon Emperor is in a coma." I reminded Kuisha, who looked shocked by this. "Wait, did you think that (Y/N) is the Red Dragon Emperor?"
"Wait, he's not?!" Kuisha sounded way too surprised, did she actually think that? "But (Y/N) is almost more muscular than you are, and Issei has close to nothing! Plus the armor is at least a couple centimeters taller than (Y/N), and there's no way Issei can use armor that size!"
"Kuisha, I appreciate everything you do for me and all, but please read the news." I breathed in deep disbelief, making the 'boi' hand gesture with my hands. "So what technique are you talking about? You said something about Coriana being able to defeat the red dragon."
"Well..."
I love my Peerage, but can someone please tell them to use their heads.
(Your POV)
I entered the arena via the magic circle, and noticed how the battleground for my fight was a field, but not just any field, a flower field. I wanted nothing more than to examine each and every individual flower, but I had to fight someone. A flash of light appeared before me, and from the light, a blonde woman wearing a kind of business suit appeared. She was Coriana Adrealphus, a devil from one of the extinct devil families. "So you are to be my opponent?" I asked and the woman confirmed my answer to be true. "Out of respect, I will be holding nothing back, will that be acceptable?"
"That is fine by me, good luck surviving against my technique." Coriana sounded confident, and for some reason, her voice was slightly seductive. Oh great...a new harem member?
(A/N: Yes
(A/N: I do not like this image Reader-kun/chan. Her smug aura mocks me.)
"Let the fourth match...BEGIN!"
Coriana began the fight by summoning a variety of ice spears that were aimed at me, while I caused my left hand to glow yellow along with making some runes around it, signaling that I was using Tyr's power. I waved my hand in front of me, and with a powerful gust of wind, the ice spears were knocked away from me. I didn't want to use my secret techniques right now because Coriana is already brave enough to take me on, and I should respect that. I prepared a water bullet spell by summoning Jormungandr's magic circle in front of me, and to increase its power, I summoned a Druidic magic circle at my feet to allow me to absorb the power of the flowers around me. But before I could launch the spell, I was caught off guard by Coriana's next move.
Stripping.
Coriana began by unbuttoning her business jacket for some reason before tossing it to the side. Is no one going to mention the fact that this is being broadcast across all the supernatural world?! I thought was was doing it because her magic would have destroyed her jacket, but my theory of that being the case was thrown out the window when Coriana began taking off her skirt. Behind her, I could see Sairaorg, Kuisha, and Regulus signaling for her to stop. Unfortunately for her, Coriana didn't see them.
"Uh...Miss Coriana...?" I was going to tell Coriana that her team was signaling for her to stop, instead, Coriana took it the wrong way.
"What's the matter big boy, like what you see~?" Coriana unbuttoned her shirt and tossed it aside, revealing her purple bra before she played with her breasts. I prayed to the closest thing to god out there that someone was covering the eyes of the children. "Don't worry, these breasts are all for you~! I heard about how much you like breasts~"
"Actually, I like thighs." I corrected, and Coriana's act dropped for a moment to reveal confusion.
"Eh? But you're called the Oppai Dragon...?" Coriana appears to have mixed me up with Issei. Now that I think about it, a lot of people must not know what he looks like because he wears that helmet.
"No, I'm (Y/N), the King of Hope." I corrected the woman before pointing behind her. "The Red Dragon Emperor is...unavailable at the moment. I'm guessing you confused me with him because his armor boosts his height."
"S-So I was basically s-stripping for nothing...?" Coriana suddenly turned bright red for embarrassment before she covered her face with her hands. "This is so embarrassing, I want to die..."
"Ah, don't say that, I think it was a good plan." I walked to the clothes that were on the ground and picked them up for the woman. "If it was the Red Dragon, then you would have won no problem. It was just a simple mistake, everyone makes mistakes sometimes."
"I am so sorry you had to see that." Coriana took the clothes and began putting them on, all while her face was red with shame. "You can feel free to deliver a sneak attack right now if you feel like it."
"But I like Sairaorg's peerage, you guys aren't evil." I tilted my head as Coriana put her skirt back on. "I'll only use underhanded tricks against those who seek to harm the innocent. Everyone else, I'll fight fair and square."
"Please don't hold back too much on me." Coriana put her shirt and jacket back on after she finished putting on her skirt.
"Very well then, forgive me for holding back on your before." I stepped a couple feet back from Coriana, allowing her to get into a stance as I held a hand outwards. "Come to me, Nehebkau."
There was an eerie silence, but the sound of rock being broken and dirt being pushed aside could be heard before a pole-like item popped out of the ground and planted itself into my hand. This weapon was called Nehebkau, named after the primordial snake god and winner of the funniest representation from Egypt. The weapon itself was a three sectioned staff, with each section being a meter long. I then began spinning the weapon around me, and much to everyone's confusion, flute-like sounds began emitting from the weapon. This was how Nehebkau moved, the more the weapons moved, the more noise it produced, and the more noise it produced, the deadlier it became. Coriana looked at the weapon in horror, meaning the weapon's main ability must be working.
"Nehebkau: Twin Serpents." I ran towards Coriana and raised the weapon above my head before making one of the sections come down atop of Coriana. She obviously backed away but what she didn't know is that the other end of Nehebkau was behind her, ready to strike.
Nehebkau's ability is the ability to cause illusions, but only on itself, so Coriana thought the weapon was actually two serpents. The name I say often affects the illusion, like if I said Single Serpent, then she would see only one serpent. On top of that, Nehebkau's sections were pretty flexible and can't be adjusted to be curvy or straight. So I can use Nehebkau to reach the remote control on the other end of the couch! Coriana was struck in the back by Nehebkau's other end, sending her towards me, allowing me to deliver a roundhouse kick to her head. I spun Nehebkau around to strike Coriana in the head. I then finished the light off by placing my left palm against Coriana's forehead.
"You fought well." I complimented the girl before my hand of Tyr behaved like a flashbang, and by that I mean it shot out a powerful boom and flashed a dangerously bright light. Luckily the hand itself was not affected, it just radiated the noise and light. With that, Coriana was knocked out, and a bright light enveloped her to reveal that she retired.
"The winner of this match is none other than the King of Hope himself, (Y/N) (L/N)!" The announcer cheered as I folded Nehebkau so I could sheathe it on my back.
"Thank you for this opportunity." I bowed in the direction of Sairaorg's base before disappearing and reappearing in Rias' own base. "I hope I performed well."
"You did good, now let's see what the next match up is." Kiba pat my back as I sat next to him and looked at the screen.
The screen showed the two images of Rias and Sairaorg once more before rolling the numbers once more. Rias rolled a 4 and Sairaorg rolled a 5, making the total a 9. Meaning Akeno can be sent out, and that means Sairaorg can send out his queen or pawn piece, but I have my doubts that he'll send out his pawn. For starters, he's had two opportunities to send his pawn out, the first time was Rossweisse's fight and the second was Xenovia's fight. Regulus is also the biggest mystery on team Sairaorg, having no social media accounts or being from a devil family. "Akeno, you're next." Rias informed the raven haired Queen piece. "Sairaorg is most likely going to send out his Queen piece."
"Kuisha is from the Abaddon family, meaning she has an ability called Hole." I decided to give a rundown of Kuisha's stats. "She, like you, prides herself in being a magician before all else. Amazingly, she and Sairaorg are not in a romantic relationship, since she is apparently not Sairaorg's type, so they are both single."
"Oh yeah, Sairaorg was always more into girls with big round glasses and single gray stripes through their hair." Rias practically just described Ayako, so maybe they two can meet each other one day.
"Well, wish me luck." Akeno walked towards the magic circle, but before she did, she suddenly kissed my cheek for absolutely no reason. "For luck~"
Akeno disappeared and reappeared in the battle ground. Akeno's area took the form of an old English city with dark, looming towers. Akeno perfectly balanced herself atop one of these towers, and just as I predicted, Sairaorg's Queen appeared on a different tower. Despite this being a rating game, I noticed how Kuisha looked kind of sick, like she was on the verge of throwing up. I used my mask to scan her homeostasis's condition, and noticed how her levels of stress were up and her stomach was full of what appeared to be shrimp.
"So, you came just like I thought Priestess of Thunder and Light." Kuisha sounded confident, but I could see through her act, she was about to vomit. That is until I noticed she began focusing her magic around her stomach, which allows her to hold off throwing up.
"Indeed I did, I thank you for this learning experience." Akeno bowed slightly before the opposing Queen. "May the better queen win."
"Likewise"
"Let the fifth round...BEGIN!"
Right after the announcer said that, both Akeno and Kuisha summoned their wings and soared into the air. Akeno evidently didn't only know how to use lightning, because she sent a small ball of fire towards Kuisha, who responded by summoning a wall of ice to block the attack, followed by her launching several ice spears at Akeno. Akeno dodged this attack by summoning a stream of water to shoot towards Kuisha, who responded by dodging. Kuisha then shot forth three blades of wind to fly at Akeno, but the girl dodged the wind. Akeno soared higher into the sky as dark clouds began forming above the battlefield, followed by a bolt of holy lightning coming down from the heavens to strike at Kuisha, but it was quickly absorbed by a hole in space and time that Kuisha summoned above her. In response to this, Akeno pulled what I like to call a 'feel stupid moment'. Akeno, instead of doing the responsible thing and disappearing amongst the clouds to use hit and run tactics so as not to give Kuisha enough room to cast her spells. Instead, Akeno unleashed more lightning from the clouds, and some were even aimed at the towers around her. Kuisha's response was to summon a large variety of holes to absorb the lightning, and before Akeno could move, even more holes in space surrounded the girl.
"For the record, I can not only absorb things with my magic, but also control or change them." Kuisha pointed her finger at Akeno. "For example, I'll remove the lightning aspect of your holy lightning to leave only holy."
From the various holes that surrounded Akeno, a bright light enveloped Akeno, causing burns to appear all over her body before knocking her unconscious. Akeno began falling to the ground, but light enveloped our Queen piece to make her disappear from the battlefield. "And the winner is-" Before the announcer could finish his stomach, Kuisha suddenly fell onto a nearby ceiling while clutching her stomach. Suddenly, Kuisha lost her lunch over the edge of the ceiling, in front of an audience before suddenly collapsing from the stress. Suddenly I feel really bad for Sairaorg's peerage. "Um...who won this game?"
"Screw it, let's just say Sairaorg won." Someone behind the camera suggested. "Also, Kuisha is in no fighting condition, so let's retire her."
"Good idea." The announcer focused back on the camera. "Alright folks, the winner is Sairaorg's group. And I wonder who would win, Team Gremory has more people while Sairorg's Remaining Pieces is no laughing matter. Would the king pieces please roll once again."
The kings did as they were told, and both of the kings rolled 6, making the total a twelve. I looked at Sairaorg's base and noticed him taking off his coat to reveal a tight undershirt that looked like it would be used for workouts. "Rias, send Rossweisse, Xenovia, Connla, and I into the battlefield." Kiba was actually giving Rias orders? Something he never does? "Xenovia and I are 6 together, Rossweisse is 5 points, and Connla is 1, making the total twelve."
"I was actually going to send in (Y/N), Rossweisse, and Connla." Rias pointed out, but Xenovia shook her head at this idea.
"Don't send in (Y/N) yet, we don't have any information on him, meaning we would be at a disadvantage." Kiba pointed out. "The four of us will wear down Sairaorg as much as we can while (Y/N) comes up with a plan."
"Kiba, this is a terrible plan." I decided to say my opinion of his plan.
"Considering half of your plans are to beat up the guy in front of you, I don't wanna hear that." Connla flicked my forehead.
"Very well then, do your best everyone." Rias sighed as the four pieces in question moved to a magic circle. The four of them disappeared, and the announcer shouted to announce this fight.
"Rias, why did you allow them to go?" I asked, and Rias didn't give me a response, she has been ignoring me almost this entire game. I can't say Rias looked to be enjoying it though.
"Um...why did you allow them to go out?" Asia questioned Rias, since the redhead in particular wasn't giving me an answer.
"Because all four of them can be rather stubborn, so I decided to let them go out anyways." Rias appeared to be regretting this decision.
"Let us pray that our friends live to laugh at this decision." I crossed my arms and looked at the screen.
The current battlefield was a forest clearing with a lake in the middle of it, yet that didn't matter to Sairaorg in the slightest. Sairaorg appeared to be covered in a white aura, and from what I can tell, it was touki. Rossweisse has hundreds of magic circles behind her before she fired all of them at Sairaorg, who disappeared. Kiba summoned one of his swords and attempted to slash at where Sairaorg was, but Sairaorg managed to punch Kiba's side to send him flying before he punched the air, causing Xenovia to suddenly appear where he punched. Now I see it, Sairaorg was able to keep up there speed. Connla, with his balance breaker activated, appeared behind Sairaorg to deliver a kick to the man's head, who did not even flinch at the impact. Sairaorg then delivered a solid blow to Rossweisse's stomach, and instantly, she was covered in a bright light before she disappeared. Xenovia was no better, disappearing after a single strike. "That power...I don't even (Y/N) can do that..." Connla was horrified by this sudden revelation. "Kiba, do it."
"Glory Drag Trooper!" Kiba summoned his army of armored knights with holy blades, and Connla enveloped them in shadows.
"Dark Dome!" Connla enveloped Sairaorg within a dark sphere made of shadows.
This is purely my guess, but Connla is most likely using the Glory Drag Troopers to attack Sairaorg mercilessly inside the dome, attacking from all directions and from such a short distance without any room to breathe is close to impossible to defend against. Despite that, Sairaorg somehow managed to disperse the shadow and sent multiple troops flying into the nearby lake. Before they could process what was going on, Connla was suddenly punched in the face, causing him to start flying before he was forced to retire. "You guys are brave, I respect that." Sairaorg then punched Kiba's chest. "Rias is lucky to have guys like you on her team, but my pieces are better." Sairaorg was joking in that last part.
"The winner of this match is Sairaorg Bael!" The announcer shouted and cheers filled the audience. The announcer was about to ask the kings to rol the die, but Sairaorg asked something first.
"Hey announcer, is it cool if we kick this rating game off with Rias and (Y/N) vs Regulus and I?" Sairaorg questioned the announcer as he put his hands on his hips. "I kind of want to kick this rating game off with a bang, but if we continue with the dice rule, there's no way all four of us can face off against one another. Plus I don't wanna hurt Asia, since she's a healer, I'd feel kind of bad if anything happens to her.
"Um...sure, just get out of the arena so we can change it." The announcer then cleared his throat. "Looks like you're in for a treat folks! The Princess of Destruction, Rias Gremory and the King of Hope, (Y/N) (L/N) vs the Strongest Youth Sairaorg Bael and his Masked Pawn, Regulus!
"You can stay here, Asia, you've done good for us, but it's time for the two of us to go out." Rias got up from her chair as she walked to the magic circle where I was standing. "I wonder who would win, the Dog or the Lion."
Let's finish this rating game once and for all, because I think everyone from both sides is having a lot of 'Feel stupid moments'. Like Koneko was crushed by Gandoma, Coriana mistook me for Issei, Kuisha vomited on live TV, and a large chunk of Rias' forces were taken out by Sairaorg, who didn't even try.
(A/N: Ah Perry the Platypus, I see you have fallen straight for my trap, now behold, my latest invention: The Cliffhangerinator! With this device, I can make any of my readers despise me until I release the next chapter. Now I can watch as the whole Tri State Area suffers in agony, knowing they'll have to wait for the next chapter! Which would probably take a day? No 2 days? Not if I keep working on 'Mythia', 'Historia', or 'The Place with the Rainbow Stars', two of which will possibly NEVER GET RELEASED! Mwahahahaha!
