Chapter 266: Debut 4

"....."

"H-How...?!"

As Sona and Rias weren't in a hurry to duel and waited until all of the fights of their servants finished, they watched all the fights that happened between their servants.

The fight between Ruruko and Issei was the most particular, as Rias didn't understand why Sona would send Ruruko against Issei.

Only Sona remained silent and didn't even explain anything.

Yet, when the result was shown, Rias was dumbfounded.

"This..."

The moment Issei's clothes ripped into pieces and Issei became naked, Rias was unable to say anything.

"From all the techniques and methods he has on his reserves, I wondered why he would choose that detestable technique."

Sona sighed.

"...." Rias.

"However, this is also karma."

Rias took a deep breath and acknowledged Sona. "You are good, Sona..." She had never thought that someone would fight Issei's technique like this. However, she had never thought to blame Sona for this as she also knew that Issei's way of fighting was just too ridiculous and it was insulting.

While it didn't matter when Issei used his technique against the opponents, she also felt wary when she thought he might use "Dress Break" on her.

Still, whether Rias or Sona thought that Issei was small, somehow, they understood why he left directly.

However, there was no doubt Rias was so disappointed.

The host of the Red Dragon Emperor would be defeated like this... Rias was speechless, but soon, she knew that there was nothing she could do, and she couldn't help Issei as she was so far away from Issei. Moreover, even if her duel with Sona hadn't started, showing her back against Sona was too dangerous and was akin to an insult.

If Rias was in Sona's place and something similar happened, she thought that Sona had already courted death!

So, even if all of her peerage members had lost, Rias didn't do anything and just closed her eyes in silence.

"Do you need me to wait for you for a while?"

"No, let's do it now." Rias knew that she had already lost, especially when she was surrounded by Sona and Sona's peerage members. The only reason why she wasn't eliminated like everyone else was because Sona still wanted to have a duel with her.

However—

"If you lose against me, then everything you have done is futile."

Rias had never thought that Sona would win against her.

"Riser is my husband, and Serafall is my older sister. Compared to them, I am nothing, but even so, I won't embarrass them and fight you fairly."

Rias stared at Sona, and she knew that her childhood friend was serious. She was jealous, yet she also knew the pressure that Sona endured was enormous, especially with Riser and Serafall.

Even so, Rias was envious of Sona!

Sona had everything, but what about her?

Rias had lost many things: her older brother, her status, and even her love!

So, here, in this place, Rias was going to defeat Sona!

Releasing an enormous amount of Demonic Power inside her body, Rias used all of her power!

"I will defeat you, Sona!"

"Come, Rias."

Rias unleashed the power of destruction and bombarded Sona without even holding back, yet—

"Huh?"

The power of destruction hit Sona's body, yet what Rias didn't expect when her attack hit Sona was that the power of destruction would pass through Sona's body and erase part of the rooftop of the department store, almost completely ruining the building.

Meanwhile, Sona was okay, completely unscathed, without a single wound being seen on her body.

"Is that all, Rias?"

"Wh-What's happening?"

How could it be?!

The power of destruction was the strongest power among all the devils' innate abilities!

No matter how strong one's attack or defense, as long as they were hit by the power of destruction, their existence would disappear!

Yet, why was Sona completely unscathed?!

"Still, your power is as strong as ever."

Sona turned her head and looked at the ruined building.

As expected of Rias, as the little sister of the previous Lucifer, she showed a talent that was even better than the original user of the power of destruction, the Bael House.

If this continued, it wouldn't be weird if Rias reached a Maou level as long as she worked hard in the future.

However, Sona knew that the Maou level was Rias' limit. It was like her, who knew the limitations within her, and that was why she was going to defeat Rias!

"Compared to you, the power of Sitri House, which is a water manipulation, is nothing. The power of our attack isn't so ridiculous like you; we also don't have a mighty defense or even an unlimited life like my husband, the Phenex House.

"However, the water is the element of change."

Rias widened her eyes as she saw several Sona appear at the same time!

Suddenly, she recalled the moment when Riser broke their engagement. "This... is this an illusion?"

"You are indeed smart, Rias."

If Riser could use his fire to create a mirage, then Sona could use her water to create a mirage.

While the methods were different, the result produced by their power was similar!

"Don't look down on me, Sona! You can do this all because of Riser!"

If Riser was her husband, would Sona have this kind of ridiculous power?

Hate, envy, jealousy, and all the negative feelings mixed within Rias' heart.

Rias had never thought that she could hate someone this much, yet it happened.

"Yes, I don't deny that, but have we not had this conversation before?" Sona sighed. "To be honest, I don't want to say this, but if you keep saying that, you acknowledge that my husband is better than the previous Lucifer, right?"

"SONAAAAAAA!"

Rias roared as the power of destruction swallowed her surroundings, erasing everything!

At that moment, she didn't care about anything, and her only thought was to defeat Sona.

"Did I get her?"

Rias gasped and breathed roughly as she observed her surroundings. Her footing had disappeared, but she could fly, spreading her devil wings, but a single voice attracted her attention.

"You lose, Rias."

"Huh?"

Rias looked up, but she saw Sona hovering in the sky so easily like it was the most natural form, yet Sona's act angered her even more!

Sona was looking down on her!

However, when she was about to attack Sona, Sona's existence became blurry as the mist filled the space, which made her unable to see her. Her eyesight was also affected, and she almost couldn't see anything.

At that moment—

"First Form: Low Clouds, Distant Haze."

Rias couldn't even react as she saw a blade thrust into her body. She widened her eyes as she couldn't hide her shock when she saw Sona suddenly appear in front of her, coming out from the mist like a goddess of water.

"Sona..."

Widening her eyes, Rias' body slowly disappeared into light as she knew she had lost.

Meanwhile, Sona sighed helplessly before sheathing her blade as her victory was announced.

[Sona Sitri is the winner!]

Sona pushed the frame of her glasses and thought that she could have a celebration with her husband soon, but before that, she thought of talking with a certain thieving cat.
