Harem Daily Life in High School DxD

Similarly, Asia's almost miraculous healing abilities, after being reversed, become the most deadly poison.

After this reversal, the soft green light that had been emanating from the bishop and Asia immediately turned dark and murky.

"Uh!"

Asia let out a painful groan, her eyes filled with resentment and guilt, and the inability to utter a single word began to slowly fade away.

The bishop turned back and smiled sweetly at Cang Na.

"President... mission accomplished... I've resolved their treatment..."

After barely managing to finish speaking, the bishop who was maintaining the barrier also vanished.

“One of the bishops of Lady Rias Gremory and Lady Sona Sid has been eliminated.”

As the broadcast repeated, Sona's figure, which had been inside the barrier, slowly disappeared.

is fake?

"over there!"

As soon as the barrier dissipated, the kitten discovered Sona's true location.

On the rooftop, Sona's figure appeared.

Rias gazed at Sona's location and pondered.

"Sona, what exactly did you do to Kuroba?"

Cangna stood on the rooftop, looking down at everyone. She took out a packet of crimson liquid from her bosom.

"Rias, Kuroba's transformation isn't just visible to you; even I've witnessed him grow stronger over time. But I know that what's even more terrifying than his strength is his resilience. Because of his perseverance, he'll rise again and again after being knocked down. As long as he wants to win, he'll persist to the end, and the Crimson Dragon within him will do its utmost to respond to his wishes..."

Cang Na tossed the packet of liquid in her hand to the kitten.

"I admire and respect his tenacity, but this is a game, and I need to prove myself through victory. So, I can only defeat him with a different kind of trust. This is his blood; as a human, excessive blood loss would naturally cause him to become dizzy, weak, or even die. This is the result of my foolish yet adorable younger brother's efforts. But don't worry, I've controlled the amount; it won't cause any danger to his life. After the game ends, I just need to re-infuse the blood. However, in this game, Kuroba, your time has come to an end..."

Is that what you're planning?

Since this is a game, the rules of the game are that if a member cannot fight, they will be forcibly teleported to the medic's side. Sona knew that he could not defeat Kuroba in terms of combat power, so he chose to take another approach?

"This is a battle I'm fighting for my honor. I want everyone watching to know that in the ranking game, it's not just about bloodline and combat strength. Sometimes, even the weak can defeat the strong! At the same time, I want Kuroba to truly look me in the eye, instead of seeing me but ignoring me and only coldly calling me 'Guild Master'."

Kuroba was somewhat stunned by the second half of the speech, which was clearly close to a confession.

He then dragged his somewhat tired or rather weak body and, with the help of the kitten, managed to stand up.

"No... Cangna... Thank you for your affirmation and attention to me, and I really do not have the ability to fight anymore. You have succeeded, but... you guessed one thing wrong. I was never the protagonist of this competition."

A bright smile appeared on Kuroba's pale face.

Amidst Sona's astonished gaze, he staggered to Akeno's side, his hand trembling as he gently stroked Akeno's face.

"I'm sorry... I promised to witness the moment you overcome that milestone... but I think I'm sleepy now..."

Akane, who always greets people with a smile, couldn't help but have her eyes redden when she looked at Kuroba.

"It's okay... I've already felt your feelings, you silly thing. Really... you don't need to force yourself like this, it hurts me..."

Kuroba chuckled.

"There are still some things I can contribute to the team..."

To Akeno's astonishment, Kuroba lifted Akeno's chin and kissed her.

Suddenly, crackling golden lightning uncontrollably spread around Akeno, and Akeno felt an incredibly powerful force surging into her body.

"Bloom... Only the combination of thunder and light is the true Akeno."

Kuroba released the seal within his body and transferred all his power, belonging to both the demon and the red dragon, to Akeno.

This is a method that Kuroba researched. By using the Crimson Dragon as the center of conversion, his power can also be used by others. This is the first time Kuroba has used it.

After doing all this, Kuroba slowly dissipated.

“One of Lady Rias Gremory’s soldiers has been eliminated.”

Chapter 156 Everyone Loses Their Mind

Even after Kuroba disappeared, Akeno maintained her supporting posture.

The battle situation so far is completely unexpected for Rias's side. Despite having a natural advantage, they have lost half of their fighting force due to Sona's cunning schemes. Moreover, Sona's series of actions against Kuroba shows that she has determined that Kuroba is the spiritual pillar of Rias's team.

If Kuroba is dealt with, Rias's team will suffer a major blow, both in terms of combat strength and morale.

But... is that really the case...?

The crackling lightning behind Zhu Nai grew larger and larger, and her aura became increasingly imposing.

She began to step forward, slowly passing Rias.

Every step he took brought an indescribable sense of oppression to Cang Na.

"Rias...may I be a little presumptuous this time?"

Zhu Nai's tone lacked its usual composure and smile, and instead became somewhat gloomy.

Akeno was clearly angry about everything Sona did to Kuroba.

He even stopped calling him "President" in front of others and started addressing him by his first name.

"Well, please."

Rias nodded and agreed to Akeno's request, because she was also angry, angry that she had been constantly schemed against and that Kuroba had ultimately borne the brunt of everything.

If she weren't the king, the most important piece in the entire game, she probably would have played herself.

Having obtained Rias's consent, Akeno revealed a strange smile. Spending so much time with Kuroba had made her almost forget her true nature. When facing enemies, she was the Thunder Priestess who struck fear into the hearts of all, an extremely sadistic demon.

"I won't let you off easily. Kuroba promised me he would watch me cross this barrier, but it's all because of you... It's time to face my wrath!"

Boom! !

With Zhu Nai's angry shout, everyone was surprised to find that the entire sky had turned dark, and lightning containing infinite threats was like a thunder dragon shuttling through the dark clouds, constantly making crackling sounds.

"Destroy!"

With a cold and chilling remark, Akeno pointed at Kusashita Reiya, another bishop of Sona.

As if given a command, the already turbulent thunderclouds unleashed countless thunderbolts, surging towards the grass like a vast army.

The instant the lightning struck her, Kusashita felt her entire body stiffen from the electric shock. She gritted her teeth and screamed, enduring the tingling pain throughout her body.

"Reverse!"

But the moment the words left his mouth, Kusashi's figure vanished from the field. It was clear that a third party had determined that if Kusashi had taken the lightning bolt head-on, it would have directly endangered his life, and he was forced out of the game.

Seeing the sound disappear under the grass, Akeno's anger was clearly not completely vented. She turned to look at Vice President Shinra, who was being tightly entangled by Yuuki.

"This is a power I hate, but because of its existence, my lightning is no longer just simple lightning. Lightning combined with light is enough to shatter and annihilate everything!"

It seems that Kuroba's departure had a huge impact on Akeno, who is usually the most composed person, and she now appears somewhat crazy.

It was this irrational attack that made Jinra feel the hairs on her body stand on end. She took a hit from Yuuki's sword and tried to escape into the room.

"Where to run!"

Yuuma, who had been protecting Rias, suddenly volunteered to fight. She appeared like a ghost on Shinra's escape route, holding a long spear of light that shimmered with endless brilliance firmly in her hand and sweeping it towards Shinra.

Upon seeing Yuuma blocking her way, Shinra revealed a triumphant smile and summoned a mirror.

This is information that Rias already knows: the artifact 'Mirror of Memories'. Because of its existence, Shinra can be considered a master of counter-attack style, able to reflect damage back at double the value.

However, she underestimated Yuuma's determination and the anger she had been suppressing in her heart.

Kuroba's elimination has angered more than just a couple of people.

"Even if I'm eliminated, I'll take someone down with me!"

Yuma's face hardened with determination. She switched from sweeping to thrusting with her spear, channeling all her strength into a fierce attack on Shinra.

"Oh!"

With a crisp shattering sound, Shinra's Mirror of Remembrance shattered, and Yuuma's spear of light, still carrying its residual power, pierced deep into her body.

At the same time, the rebound force from the shattering of the Mirror of Remembrance was also fully poured into Yuuma's body.

Yuma grunted, but a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"Kuroba... I tried my best."

"One bishop and one queen of Lord Sona Sid have been eliminated, and one soldier of Lord Rias Gremory has been eliminated."

Sona was now all alone. Rias spread her wings and flew to the rooftop to face Sona directly.

"Sona, let me fill in the gaps in what Kuroba didn't say..."

The moment Rias saw Sona, she spoke.

"I heard in the headset that Kuroba was very disappointed when he defeated Key. At the same time, he also admired your wisdom. To be honest, that was my shortcoming. I lost to you. But you misjudged one thing. Kuroba is indeed our spiritual pillar, but if you try every means to defeat him, what will be met is not a decline in our morale, but an even more frantic fight."

Rias conjured a fireball in her hand and pointed it directly at Sona.

"You're not the only one fighting desperately, and Kuroba isn't the only one in my retinue. We're inseparable. Losing one of our members won't make us lose our fighting ability; it will only make us stronger! Come on, Sona, let's have the final battle!"

No one on Rias's side stopped her, because everyone knew that Rias was also harboring a lot of anger. Things had developed to the point where they could no longer be resolved simply by winning or losing.

This is not just a duel between Sona and Rias, but a battle between the two of them to respond to their feelings for Kuroba.

Cangna naturally understood this as well, and a rich water magic began to emanate from her surroundings.

"Games are games, and reality is reality. I will not give up. I will make Kuroba take me seriously!"

Countless compressed magical fireballs appeared around Rias, while in front of Sona was a thick wall formed of heavy water. Both girls had a defiant look in their eyes.

What followed was the fusion of water and fire, with large amounts of water vapor rising up as if it were free, lingering for a long time.

All people could hear were the booming explosions coming from inside, but they had no idea what was happening inside.

Then, the broadcast started.

"The battle is over. Lady Rias Gremory is the victor."
