At the same time... this is also a reward from Baili to those who have embarked on their destined journey.
Chapter 110 The Power of Chaos and Destruction! Ais VS Rias!
At the entrance to the tent in the stands where Baili was, Hestia leaned against the railing.
After the first group battle ended, the adventurers, merchants, and residents of the labyrinth city who came to the town ruins to watch the war game became even more interested.
They had heard the story of how the Loki Familia and the Freya Familia banished Zeus and Hera from Orario.
Now, those who have come here will witness a new chapter in history!
Hestia glanced at the still bustling scene, her eyes occasionally glancing at the tents behind her.
There was a curtain blocking the view, so the inside was completely hidden.
The only thing Hestia was clear about was what Himejima Akeno had said before she left: "There's no main event, so the mana replenishment will end quickly."
What exactly does "the main show" refer to? Why isn't it included?
What is mana replenishment? Does it mean replenishing mana?
Hestia was unaware of these things, so her attention fell on Demeter, who had established a close partnership with Baili.
Even though she arrived first, Demeter was faster.
"Hey Demeter, what exactly is this partnership you've established with Mr. Baili?"
"The special effect seeds and special vegetation that Mr. Baili and the other ladies discover during their exploration of the dungeon will be handed over to me as soon as possible, and my family and I will carry out planting and research."
"And then? You'll provide them with fruits and plants that have various enhancement effects?"
“That’s right. Besides that… I also have another deal with Mr. Baili that I can’t go into details about.”
Yeah?
The other one?
Seeing Demeter's face turn red, Hestia was eager to know the answer.
Before she could even ask, Hephaestus grabbed her shoulder and shoved her aside.
"Eek! What are you doing, Hephaestus!"
"It has nothing to do with you."
"What do you mean it's okay? I was just talking to..."
Before Hestia could finish speaking, Hephaestus rushed to Demeter.
"Explain the details of the transaction that I can't go into, how did you manage to do it..."
“Um… Miss Hephaestus, I didn’t actually do anything special, I just wanted to express my gratitude.”
"To express my gratitude..."
Demeter did that because she received help from Baili.
Hephaestus did not have that opportunity.
Her relationship with Baili was that of a person who was entrusted with a task.
From this perspective, perhaps I could take the initiative?
After all, I've already forged quite a few weapons for Baili and the others, so making a request shouldn't be a problem, right?
Before Hephaestus could find an answer, the tent flap was lifted, and several girls inside came out one by one.
Rias, who was at the very back, gently wiped her lips and then spoke to Hyakuri beside her.
"I will be in charge of the upcoming individual battles, and I don't plan to use my full strength right away."
Hephaestus saw that the two were discussing serious matters and did not go over to disturb them.
Bai Li was slightly surprised to hear Rias say that.
He had assumed that Rias was inclined to display her demonic power and path power.
"why?"
That's why I asked the question.
Rias's gaze fell upon the ruined town below.
"Back in the tent... when Baili-jun and everyone were replenishing their mana, it occurred to me: what if, in an extreme situation, I ran out of mana and the power of destiny, how would I fight?"
Her expression turned serious.
"The power of destiny bestowed by Lord Baili is not unlimited, because we are not that powerful yet."
It's like the difference between a person on a life's journey and someone who commands it.
Under normal circumstances, the former cannot bear the weight of the latter.
After all, Baili doesn't currently regard the girls as messengers, believing they still have a long way to go.
Unless he's like Aha, who's keen on watching the fun, he'll casually hand over his power to someone and then see how that person performs.
"I'm just temporarily not using it, and I want to see how far I can go."
“There’s no need for that, Rias.”
"What Baili Jun means is..."
"Instead of worrying about not being able to use that power, you should think about how to use the power of destiny better. You've seen how the kitten performed before, haven't you?"
"Yes……"
Rias remembered.
During a team battle, when facing an enemy, Toujou Koneko changed the way she used the combat skill "Neko-xiao's Purifying Flame," which she was supposed to unleash.
In that instant, the purifying flames enveloped the kitten.
"There are many ways to use the power of destiny. What you need to do is think about how to use them flexibly."
"That's right, I was completely wrong just now..."
"It's not wrong, it's one way, but it's the most foolish one."
Baili looked at Rias
"I believe you will find a more correct path."
"I will, Baili-kun..."
then……
Rias approaches Hyakuri
"If I win, tonight..."
"Everyone receives a reward."
"I would prefer it to be personal."
After saying this, Rias, who was possessive, immediately changed her mind.
"But no matter what I do, I will win."
Rias, the demon who has embarked on her destiny, firmly believes in her own strength.
[How did everyone feel about the previous team battles? Now for the main event! The swordswoman of the Loki Familia—Ais Wallenstein! And her opponent is the red-haired princess—Rias, who belongs to the Adventurers' Guild Master's faction!]
The person broadcasting the situation from the scene introduced it to everyone via the Magic Stone Broadcast.
"The Red-Haired Princess?"
Zhu Nai didn't know this nickname, but she thought it suited her perfectly. (Yue-Yi/First Release)
"Did that person come up with it themselves?"
"probably."
"Yeah, pretty much."
The kitten, Asia, and Miko reached this conclusion.
So, between the so-called genius Sword Maiden and the Red-Haired Princess, who will emerge victorious?! Let's wait and see!
At this point, two figures had already appeared on the battlefield after the team battle.
Rias stood on the west side, holding the winged spear "Sky Soaring Thunder" forged by Hephaestus;
Ais stood to the east, her right hand already drawing the weapon she had worn at her waist, a rapier with indestructible properties—the Desperate Sword.
"Esther Wallenstein, I believe you are a genius in this world, but that alone is not enough."
"I am not a genius."
"Really? The Fiora of Orario, I heard your name when I came here with them."
"That's the title people gave me; I just did what I was supposed to do."
After saying that, Ais took a small step back.
"I hope you are the opponent who will allow me to cross the wall."
Do you see me as an obstacle on your path to growth?
"It's more like a trial... because I know you're very strong."
Trials, indeed.
Rias found it very interesting.
"Defeating a strong enemy does not necessarily lead to 100% growth."
"why?"
"Sometimes, standing still isn't because you're not working hard enough, but because you haven't seized the opportunity."
"Chance?"
Ais tilted her head. ?印-3（五）柒氿硫彡尔
"Excuse me... what kind of opportunity are you referring to?"
"Oh? You want to listen to the advice of your opponent?"
