He needed time to rearrange things; he would not allow the Phoenix family to be trampled on twice in one day.
Everyone looked at Zhou Ye, waiting for his answer.
"Can".
Chapter 143 Rias: Rias, come out and fight me one-on-one!
When Heath Ledger and his son Phoenix left, their faces were as black as the bottom of a pot.
Leval walked ahead, his fists clenched tightly, his shoulders trembling slightly with humiliation and anger. His father, Heath Ledger, followed behind, his refined facade completely crumbling, each step heavy as if he wanted to crush the floor.
Sazex Lucifer was the last to leave. As he passed Zhou Ye, he paused for a moment.
The red-haired demon king said nothing, but his crimson eyes gave Zhou Ye a deep look. The emotions in his eyes were too complex to describe, there was admiration, warning, and a sense of wanting to have fun.
The oppressive atmosphere in the room eased slightly after the door closed.
"Boss, you were too reckless just now!" Nami patted her chest, still shaken. "That's the head of the Phoenix family and Lucifer, the Demon King! You just slapped them in the face like that, what if they really turned against you?"
"Turning against me?" Zhou Ye scoffed. He slumped back onto the sofa, casually picked up a potato chip, and stuffed it into his mouth with a crisp "crunch."
"If they dared to turn against us, they wouldn't have gone through all this trouble."
Zhou Ye's gaze fell on the huge magic screen in the center of the room.
"The dignity of demons, to put it bluntly, is their face. Now that I've trampled their face underfoot, what can they do except get it back in the game?"
He glanced at Nami. "To attack me, Rias's friend, in front of the Demon King? Unless the Phoenix family wants to start a war with the Gremory family, or even the entire current Demon King's faction."
Saeko Busujima gripped the hilt of her sword, licked her lips, and her eyes gleamed with undisguised excitement.
"So, in the next match, my opponent is that devil named Leval?"
"Hmm." Zhou Ye responded noncommittally, his attention completely drawn to the battle on the screen.
At this moment on the battlefield, Rias's retinue is embroiled in an unprecedented and bitter battle.
The simulated Kuoh Academy school building is now covered in charred marks from the explosion.
"Boss, things are not good."
Nami pulled out her notebook again, her fingers flying across the pages as she calculated. "That roast chicken guy over there gave each of his familiars something called 'Phoenix's Tears,' and that Queen Eubelina even got two drops!"
On the screen, Kiba Yuuto had just knocked down one of Riser's [soldiers] with his magic sword. Before he could finish him off, a warm flame erupted from the soldier's body, instantly healing his injuries. He pounced on him again, full of energy.
"This thing is so cheesy!" Shizuka Marikawa frowned as she looked at it. "Even an unkillable cockroach isn't this disgusting."
"Hmph, it's just a slightly more advanced stimulant." The miniature mechanical dragon Drage, lying on the table, scraped the surface with its metal claws with disdain. "A true powerhouse can annihilate a soul with a single blow; there's no need for such childish gadgets."
Rias's familiars were clearly also having a hard time dealing with this seemingly invincible opponent.
Castle Tower City Baiyin punched the opponent's [Castle] flying, sending it crashing through several walls, but a few seconds later, the opponent staggered back to his feet.
Although Akeno Himejima's lightning was incredibly powerful, the enemy's knights, relying on Phoenix's Tears as a backup, relentlessly attacked in waves, greatly depleting her magical energy.
"It's really ugly." Zhou Ye stuffed another potato chip into his mouth, his tone flat. "Has Rias forgotten everything she learned in the [House of Time and Spirit]?"
[I clearly taught them that against enemies with such strong regenerative abilities, they should either use overwhelming power to kill in one strike, or wear them down with continuous, unavoidable damage. Now they're fighting so chaotically, like headless flies.]
Zhou Ye was internally complaining.
As if hearing his thoughts, the situation on the battlefield finally began to change.
Aisha Alget, who had been providing support, clasped her hands together, radiating a soft golden light, and precisely delivered healing magic to each of her companions, greatly alleviating their exhaustion.
With a stable rear base, Rias's familiars changed their tactics accordingly.
"Akeno-senpai!"
With a loud shout, Kiba Yuto's demonic sword no longer aimed for a single, devastating blow, but instead transformed into countless sword shadows, tightly binding a [Knight].
At the same time, Akeno Himejima's lightning descended from the sky!
boom!
The knight didn't even have time to activate Phoenix's Tears before he was reduced to a speck of light and forced to leave the battlefield amidst the interplay of lightning and sword shadows.
"Well done!" Nami clapped her hands excitedly.
On the battlefield, Rias's familiars coordinated their attacks with remarkable fluidity.
Instead of directly confronting the opponent's [Castle], Shirayuki Tajo used her small size and speed to constantly harass the enemy and create opportunities for her teammates.
Soon, Riesel's fifteen followers, like felled wheat, appeared one after another on the screen with the word "Exit".
Marymai, Shulia, Mira... these once arrogant Phoenix Familia members, faced with Rias and the others' new tactics, found that drop of "Phoenix's Tear" to be their greatest death warrant.
Because of dependence, we became careless.
Just when they thought they had another chance, they were met with a devastating barrage of thunder, sword, and fist.
Finally, only Riesel's "Queen" remained on the battlefield, the woman with the hot body named Eubeluna.
"A bunch of useless trash!" Yubeluna cursed angrily as she looked at the empty space behind her.
She glared fiercely at Himejima Akeno across from her, her face twisted with jealousy.
"You're just a bastard of a fallen angel, how dare you be so insolent in front of me!"
Zhu Nai licked her lips, a morbid confidence in her eyes. "It's alright. I'll deal with you all, and then Lord Riesel will pamper me. I do have two drops of Phoenix's Tears!"
Himejima Akeno simply smiled, a smile tinged with a sadistic pleasure.
"Oh dear, what a pitiful woman."
"They can't even see what their master is thinking, and they're still daydreaming here."
She raised her hand, golden lightning crackling at her fingertips, the lightning carrying a faint aura of holiness.
"Let me purify your filthy delusions."
"Lightning!"
The enormous thunder dragon roared and charged toward Eubeluna.
Yubeluna neither dodged nor evaded, but instead took the attack head-on, flames erupting from her body.
After the roar, her body was charred black, but in the next second she was enveloped in flames, and her injuries were fully healed.
"It's no use! I am..."
Before she could finish speaking, she saw an even more delighted smile appear on Himejima Akeno's face.
"It's now."
A bolt of lightning, thicker and more violent than before, descended from the sky without warning, precisely engulfing her!
Yubeluna's confidence instantly turned into terror.
She tried to activate the second drop of [Phoenix's Tear], but found that her body, purified by the lightning, couldn't mobilize even a trace of magic.
Queen Phoenix: Exit
The large characters proclaimed the end of this war between kin.
On the screen, Riesle Phoenix's face was distorted beyond recognition.
Looking at his only remaining sister, Levi, who was clutching a phoenix doll and trembling with fear, his boundless rage finally erupted.
He suddenly soared into the sky, flying above the Komao Schoolhouse, his voice like thunder, echoing throughout the entire Mirror Space.
"Rias, come out and fight me one-on-one if you dare!"
A red figure also flew out from the shadows of the school building, confronting him.
Rias's long, crimson hair danced in the air, and her face was no longer filled with hesitation, only cold resolve.
"Hmph, I would have come looking for you even without you telling me!"
"Just accept defeat and break off this ridiculous engagement!"
Inside the spectator room, Zhou Ye put down the potato chips he was holding.
He turned his head and looked at Saeko Busujima, who had already stood up and was full of fighting spirit.
"Okay, foreplay over."
"It's our turn to perform next."
Chapter 144 Rias: I Have Quite a Few Trump Cards
Just when everyone thought the outcome was decided, a roar filled with resentment and madness suddenly erupted from the ruins.
"It's not over yet, don't get too cocky, Rias!!!"
boom!
The rubble was blasted away by a powerful magical force, and Riser Phoenix staggered out of the ruins.
He looked utterly disheveled; his magnificent aristocratic attire was now tattered, and a gruesome wound on his forehead was oozing blood, staining his handsome face with a hideous humiliation.
He stared intently at Rias in mid-air, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent.
Without the slightest hesitation, he pulled out a small bottle containing blue liquid from his pocket—it was Phoenix's Tears—and gulped it down.
The warm firelight enveloped him, and in just two or three seconds, all his injuries, including the wound on his forehead, healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning him to his original state.
Rias looked down at him, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, her face showing undisguised disdain.
"Tsk, an unkillable cockroach."
That's what she said, but she knew in her heart that the surprise attack she had just launched with the [Ring of Destruction] could not be replicated a second time.
That idiot Riesel, having learned his lesson once, will definitely be wary of this tactic.
She also took out a bottle of magic recovery potion from her spatial artifacts, tilted her head back and drank it to replenish the huge amount of energy consumed by the attack just now.
"I won't fall for that again, Rias!"
Riesel roared, his body once again enveloped in orange-red flames, and he flew towards Rias like a cannonball.
At the same time, hundreds and thousands of fire magic bullets materialized out of thin air around his body, like a dense swarm of bees, and rained down on Rias and her retinue behind her.
"Don't try to succeed!"
