Harem Daily Life in High School DxD

Chapter 154 Inner Worries and Perseverance

As a friend and as an opponent, Chi is worthy of respect; he seems to be holding his breath, rising again and again.

Seeing that Chi was covered in blood, panting heavily and trembling as he tried to stand up, Kuroba's eyes flashed with a hint of pity.

However, Kuroba did not say anything to stop Key's stubbornness.

Because he knew that Key was also fighting in his own way, and that he, too, was rising step by step, advancing step by step, growing step by step, just like Key.

At times like this, any attempt to dissuade him is an insult to him. The only way to show respect is to thoroughly defeat him until he can no longer stand up.

Visibly, a black mist began to spread from Chi's body. As the black mist grew larger, it seemed that Chi's spirit and body had returned to their peak state.

Is this what Azazel meant when he said that if you desire something enough, your will can be conveyed to the artifact, thus gaining even more amazing power?

Is this Frida's response in the artifact of the Key?

"Kuroba!!! I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled!! You bastard, why are you so popular with girls! You pretty boy! Even the student council president likes you!!"

Key's words caused Kuroba's expression to pause slightly, while Koneko, who had already dealt with Jinmura by fully unleashing her power, also cast a disdainful glance at Kuroba.

Not... a key? Has your focus shifted?

But regardless of whether the focus has changed, the imposing Spoon charged over, driven by jealousy.

The speed was even faster than at the beginning.

"You jerk who gets envied! Take this!!"

As it charged toward Kuroba, several dragon veins behind Key attracted all sorts of debris and threw them at him, attempting to block Kuroba's view.

However, after training, Kuroba's dynamic vision became exceptional, especially his ability to seize opportunities, which improved significantly.

He dodged the debris with minimal movement, raised his arm to block the key's hammer blow, and simultaneously punched the key away with his backhand.

The key, blasted away, crashed heavily to the ground. The fall seemed to drain all its strength, and it struggled for a long time but could no longer get up.

Knowing he no longer had the ability to fight, tears of resentment streamed down his face.

"Why is it that hard-working people are always looked down upon? It's about ability, it's about dreams. I will definitely become stronger! Even if the student council president doesn't see me, I will still strive to support her vision. Her vision is noble: to build a ranking game school without class distinctions. I will definitely become a teacher at that school someday! But... I'm not resigned to this..."

Because he was unwilling to give up, Chi took a deep breath and used all his strength to get up again.

He staggered to his feet, his eyes revealing determination.

He slowly approached Kuroba step by step, and then delivered a soft punch to Kuroba's body.

"I...tried my best..."

As the light illuminated, the key was eliminated and teleported away.

"Two of Lord Canna Xidi's soldiers have been eliminated."

The broadcast continued, but Kuroba felt no excitement whatsoever.

He looked at the kitten with a somewhat somber expression.

"Is it really that painful to eliminate a friend by your own hand?"

Upon hearing this, the kitten came over, tiptoed, and gently patted Black Feather's head.

"That's enough. You're being cool for once, you idiot senior. This is a battle, but outside of battle, we're still friends, aren't we? What we need to do now is to gain the glory that belongs to us."

"Um..."

Immediately afterwards, Kuroba enjoyed the kitten's tenderness, and in the kitten's arms, Kuroba gradually calmed down.

Just as Kuroba and Kyoko were taking a short break, the broadcast started again.

"One of Lady Rias Gremory's knights has been eliminated, and one of Lady Sona Sid's knights and one castle have been eliminated."

Kuroba was still wondering why the dragon vein on his body hadn't disappeared, but he was unconsciously drawn to the broadcast.

"One for two? In terms of numbers... we should still have the advantage, right?"

"Those are secondary, aren't they? The main thing is, you idiot senior, this..."

The kitten pointed to the dragon veins on Black Feather's body.

"It shouldn't be a big problem, right? But Key is really something else. He disappeared, but his artifact is still with me. What an incredible obsession..."

Kuroba smiled and comforted the kitten.

"Everyone, it's time to assemble and launch a full-scale attack on the main camp."

Rias's voice came through the headset. She judged that the time had come and it was time to start the final battle.

"Is it finally coming...? Let's go, little cat."

He called out to the kitten and prepared to stand up.

But the moment he stood up, Kuroba experienced an unprecedented dizziness. He stumbled and fell towards a nearby vending machine.

"Idiot senior!"

The kitten quickly caught Black Feather and asked with concern in her eyes.

"Are you alright? Your face is very pale... Were you injured earlier?"

Kuroba broke free from the kitten's support and gently patted its head in comfort.

"I'm fine... Let's go."

After saying that, Kuroba walked ahead alone. After avoiding the kitten's gaze, Kuroba glanced almost imperceptibly at the dragon veins on his body that stretched all the way to the local base camp.

Is it because of this thing...?

Was Chi's surprise at that moment not because he was surprised by my question, but because I guessed correctly?

My strength is slowly waning...

Kuroba shook his head, forced himself to stay focused, and steadied himself as he approached the central plaza.

That is the battlefield of the final battle. At this moment, Kuroba cannot fall, because he promised Akeno that he would watch her confidently shine.

You have to grit your teeth and persevere until this condition is met.

At the same time, Sona and Rias made the same decision, choosing to head towards the central square, the only route to their base.

That's the only relatively open space in the entire mall, usually used as a resting place for tourists.

There, their respective strengths would not be constrained by the indestructible marketplace, a condition that restricts everyone's actions.

For Sona, besides her schemes, she was also very confident in the strength of her familiars. She wanted to defeat Rias fair and square to prove her excellence, her ideals, and that she deserved someone's attention.

Chapter 155 Shine Brightly, Akeno!

Kitten and Kuroba were the first to arrive on Rias's side, but they weren't the first to arrive.

Because at this very moment, Sona's figure had appeared before his eyes.

Standing next to Sona was a student council member, who, if I remember correctly, held the position of bishop.

At this moment, Sona and that member were standing in a well-prepared barrier. Kuroba could clearly see that the dragon veins on his body extended all the way to the position of the bishop.

Could it be that the bishop was behind all of this?

"It seems you two are the ones who ran into Key and Nimura, Miyamoto Kuroba and Toujou Koneko."

Upon seeing Kuroba's appearance, Sona's eyes flickered for a moment, but she quickly calmed down and spoke.

Before Kuroba could speak, the vice president of the Sona camp, Shinra Tsubaki, also appeared. She was an older sister who also wore glasses. Unlike the president, she had long, straight black hair that rivaled Yuuma's, and her figure was more rounded and full, but her waist was incredibly slender, a truly devilish figure.

Jinra's appearance was like a switch being turned on, and people gradually gathered together.

It was Yuuki who appeared.

This also proves that it was Xenovia who was eliminated...

"Cangna, you've appeared openly and honestly. It seems you're quite confident?"

Rias's voice appeared, and as Rias's figure emerged, Akeno, Asia, and Yuuma also appeared one by one.

"Aren't you one too? You appeared as the king as well."

"That's true... After all, we've entered the final showdown, it's time for a head-on battle. But... Sona, I really can't underestimate you."

Rias's voice sounded somewhat grave, because the match was originally one she was certain to win, but Sona's series of schemes had completely disrupted her plans.

However, Sona did not respond to Rias; instead, she turned her gaze towards Kuroba's direction.

Seeing Kuroba's swaying posture, Sona's face revealed a triumphant smile.

"I have to commend you... Kuroba, you really have the perseverance, but it's about time you reached your limit."

Only then did Rias notice that Kuroba, who had been silent all along, was deathly pale, completely devoid of color, and looked so weak that he could be blown away by the wind.

"Kuroba? What happened to you!"

Rias immediately lost her composure and tried to run to Kuroba's side.

Kuroba reached out and stopped Rias from coming over.

"Stay calm, you are the king, Rias."

"Then at least let Asia help you with the treatment."

Rias knew she couldn't lose her composure at a time like this, so she immediately had Asia treat her.

Asia immediately emitted a green light, wanting to come to the rescue.

"Don't think about it!"

A bishop from the Sona camp suddenly rushed out of the barrier and stood between Asia and Kuroba.

The abundant green light was completely intercepted by the bishop and enveloped him.

Her eyes were filled with determination.

"Reverse!"

The so-called reversal is the transformation of matter. On the battlefield unknown to Kuroba, Xenovia was also defeated by this reversal.

It can transform matter, turning light into darkness, and harmful into harmless.
