Chapter 163: Too Weak

The kitten of Tacheng was taken away by Heige.

This girl still has something stuck in her heart, and her sister must help her to clear it up, otherwise she will most likely not listen to the advice and restore her identity and power of the cat.

Although Heige is a little unreliable, he is absolutely concerned about her sister and is also good at stimulating her. There should be no problem in handing the kitten of Tacheng to her.

Well... should it be?

Anyway, Aize thinks that this arrangement is enough. You can't let him enlighten a little cat demon who is not even an adult, right?

For such a person, one Toudou Qilin is enough, and there is absolutely no need for more.

The same is true for Kiba Yuto. Aize has no intention of enlightening him at all. Even if he is always hostile to the church and the holy sword user, that is his business and the church's business. What does it have to do with him?

Therefore, after handing the bracelet of forced awakening forbidden hand to Kiba Yuto, Aize no longer cares about him and lets him decide what to do.

Rias took the bracelet and went back to the human world. Her half-vampire follower was sealed in the old school building of Kuoh Academy.

So, in the end, only Himejima Akeno was left there. It was not right to leave or not to leave. She just stood there.

Aize still chose not to pay attention. He returned to the villa and lived a leisurely vacation-like life as before.

In this way, time came to night.

When it was completely dark, Aize left the villa.

Taking out the engine of the Tyrant Blood Scythe and activating it, Aize controlled the gravity around him and flew towards the horizon.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a lightning streaked through the night sky and rose from the direction of the villa, illuminating the space where it passed and shooting at Aize.

"Bang!"

The Tyrant Blood Scythe in Aize's hand also streaked across the space, dragging a blood light, hitting the incoming lightning, and chopped it off with a muffled sound.

After slashing away the lightning, Aize carried the Tyrant Blood Scythe and stared ahead, without any surprise or anger on his face.

In front of him, a girl with a long ponytail tied on one side, wearing a witch costume, and with devil wings spread out behind her, was flying in the air with a very bad face. One finger was stretched forward, and lightning flashed on the fingertips, telling others who the attack just now came from.

"What are you doing?"

Aize asked in a calm tone.

"...I should be the one who said this, right?"

Himejima Akeno tightened her pretty face, staring at Aize with fire in her eyes.

That was anger.

"You want to stop me?" Aize ignored the anger of Himejima Akeno and said, "Don't you hate your father the most? Why do you want to stop me?"

"That's my business." Himejima Akeno said coldly, "It has nothing to do with you."

"Of course it has something to do with me." Aize raised the Tyrant Blood Scythe, letting its blood-colored sickle blade bloom with a bewitching brilliance under the night sky, rendering it like the god of death in the dark night, and said, "Why do you think I came here? Isn't it for your master?"

"What?" Himejima Akeno was slightly startled and said in surprise, "Rias?"

"Yes." Aize said frankly, "As her queen and her first dependent, you should know it very well, right?"

"Rias Gremory, she has an engagement, and she herself strongly opposes it."

Hearing this, Himejima Akeno fell silent.

She did know about this matter, and even knew who Rias was engaged to.

That was the pure-blooded demon family, Phoenix, which was one of the seventy-two pillars together with the Gremory family.

Phoenix, the legendary sacred beast in charge of life, is revered by people. It is said that its tears can heal any injuries, and drinking its blood can make one immortal.

Although Phoenix is ​​a sacred beast, there is also a Phoenix belonging to the devil in the underworld. Its leader has the status of a demon marquis and is listed as one of the seventy-two pillars. That is Rias's fiancé.

The Phoenix in the demon world is also in charge of fire, wind and life. It has almost the same abilities as the sacred beast Phoenix. Its flames can even burn the scales of dragons. Even if it is reduced to ashes, it can be resurrected immediately. It is known as the Phoenix.

In terms of fame, Phoenix is ​​not inferior to Gremory at all, and even more so. It has a high status in the underworld and is valued by all parties.

Rias's fiancé is the third son of the Phoenix family. He is a young generation who has just debuted in recent years. He is a few years older than Rias. Except for some problems with his character, he is better than Rias now in all aspects.

Although Himejima Akeno is Rias's dependent, they are the same age and have spent the longest time together. Although they are master and servant, they are actually no different from sisters, so Himejima Akeno occasionally calls Rias by her name.

But because of this, Himejima Akeno knows very well how much Rias resists this engagement.

"She doesn't want to fulfill this engagement, but she is the eldest daughter of a noble family and the successor to the clan leader. Things like engagements are naturally as everyone knows, and they are very popular and she can't make her own decisions."

"Then what should she do?"

"It's very simple, the only way is to resist."

As if he could see the future, Aize spoke calmly as if he was making a prophecy.

"If this continues, the Gremory family and the Phoenix family will definitely do something about this matter."

"The demon world is a place where strength is respected and power is used to speak."

"Remember it's called the ranking game?" Aize said to Jijima Akeno with a half-smile: "Don't you think that with your master's stubbornness, the two families will definitely propose to use the most popular game in the demon world to decide the final outcome of this marriage?"

Jijima Akeno's face changed slightly.

She suddenly realized that this matter might really be the same as Aize said, and it would eventually evolve into a situation where both parties used the ranking game to decide the result of the marriage.

The ranking game is the most respected and popular game among demons today, and its status is comparable to the Star Martial Festival in the world of learning wars.

The results of the ranking game can even determine the status of a demon and whether he can rise.

Those who perform well in the ranking game may be promoted to the highest-level demon if they are kings, and may be promoted to intermediate demons or even upper demons if they are followers, and stand out in the demon world.

When they are in doubt, they will play a ranking game. This is already a fixed way for many upper demons to resolve conflicts and decide some things.

However, if Rias and her fiancée were to play a ranking game, they would have little chance of winning.

"The third young master of the Phoenix family has already made his debut, and his followers are already full. He has also participated in several ranking games. It can be said that he has both strength and experience."

"And what about the Gremory followers?"

"You haven't even filled up yet."

Aize pointed this out.

The followers of demons are not unlimited, but there is a certain number.

This number is based on the real-world chess game. The superior demon who is the master is regarded as the "king", and the rest are one "queen", two "castles", two "bishops", two "knights" and eight "soldiers", a total of sixteen.

For this reason, the current demon king Beelzebub has also developed a demon chess piece for reincarnating demons. By using this chess piece on the person who wants to be a servant, a master-servant relationship can be established, and the person of another race can be reincarnated into a demon.

Every upper-level demon can receive these demon chess pieces. Except for the "king" who is himself and has no chess pieces, the remaining fifteen followers are all reincarnated by the corresponding demon chess pieces. Once the chess pieces are used up, no new ones can be obtained.

These demon chess pieces also have their own characteristics. Once the chess pieces are fused and reincarnated into demons, they can obtain this characteristic and obtain a certain degree of enhancement.

Like the castle, its characteristics are strong attack and defense, which is equivalent to five soldiers.

Like the bishop, its characteristics are magic amplification, which is equivalent to three soldiers.

Like the knight, its characteristics are speed, which is also equivalent to three soldiers.

As for the queen, it has the power of all chess pieces and is equivalent to nine soldiers.

Himejima Akeno is Rias's queen. She has the characteristics of all demon chess pieces, so her strength is the closest to Rias among the Gremory followers.

Kiba Yuto is the knight, Tajo Kitten is the castle, and the sealed vampire is the bishop. Together with Himejima Akeno as the queen, Rias' followers are these.

In other words, she still has eleven demon chess pieces that she hasn't used yet. Generally speaking, she needs to collect eleven followers to be full.

And what about the third young master of the Phoenix family?

The other party has already collected all the followers, and there is no demon chess piece left.

If the two sides start a ranking game, even if the king is included, it will be five to sixteen, and the number difference is more than twice.

In addition, the opponent's king is still the Phoenix known as the Phoenix. Regardless of strength, it is almost impossible to defeat him.

"In other words, once the fight starts, you will definitely lose."

Aize pointed this out mercilessly.

"But I owe Rias Gremory something, and I don't want to see her lose."

"Then what should I do?"

"Of course, I will make you as strong as possible, and use quality to make up for quantity."

Aize's eyes began to narrow as he looked at Himejima Akeno.

"I know you all have some pasts that you cannot bear to look back on, but at this time, as Rias's followers, you still deliberately seal your own power for something you cannot let go of, and watch your master lose happiness?"

"Is this the deep affection of the Gremory followers?"

"Then your affection is too weak, isn't it? I feel sorry for Rias!"

Aize's ruthless accusation did not make Himejima Akeno angry this time.

She just kept silent, her eyes slightly dim.
