Becoming a Shadow in the New World

Yes, that's it. I'm going to take this opportunity to complete the "Collection of Extras Falling to the Ground" achievement.

Noticing nothing amiss with Cid, Raisa took a breath and strode toward the fallen Rias. As she passed Cid, she instinctively tried to step aside, but then immediately changed her mind, glancing around once more before straightening up and intending to ram Cid aside. She was still talking when she reached Cid.

"Oh right, you haven't answered yet... Pfft!"

Before he could finish speaking, Sid suddenly turned around, using his waist to generate power in his arm, and punched Lessa hard in the face. This silent blow sent Lessa flying again, and during the flight, Lessa's face, contorted by Sid's punch, could still be seen.

"As expected... it's still more satisfying to use your fists!"

The reason I'm here must be to buy some time for Cao Cao and his men while I complete the "Extra Falls to the Ground" achievement.

"how dare you……"

Lysa, who had just gotten up from the ground, was furious and wanted to attack Sid, but he froze when he saw Sid's downcast eyes.

Anyway, the reason I appeared couldn't be because I spent the whole morning acting like a dog in front of Alexia and earned 3.4 million Zeni, all of which was melted by the flames that Lysa just attacked him with, causing me to be blinded by anger and want to beat Lysa up to vent my frustration.

The reason I came here must be to complete the "fallen extras" synopsis and, incidentally, buy some time for Cao Cao and his men.

Of course, it's perfectly reasonable that during the process of using the 48th move of the supporting character's secret technique, he accidentally got hit by Leiza's... 35 punches.

Sid raised his head, his pupils flickering slightly, glowing reddish despite the lack of magic.

Oh, right, this guy (using a vulgar expression) just now asked me why I came here, so I'll just make up some random reason as an explanation.

"I must give you a good beating to vent my anger, you dare to hurt my treasure (a vulgar expression). You better prepare to die."

His injured body leaned forward, and Sid's figure flew swiftly toward Lysa.

"Ah ah ah..."

Seeing the same look in Sid's eyes that Claire had, Lysa screamed in terror and instinctively gathered the flames of the phoenix in her hand and threw them at Sid.

The flames struck Sid, exploding at the point of impact and creating a cloud of white mist.

Sid's figure in the fog fell down with a heavy thud.

"You think I'm afraid of a mere weak human... Pfft!"

Seeing Cid fall, Rasa finally remembered that Cid's strength was far weaker than Claire's, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He wanted to say something to bolster his courage, but a figure flew out of the fog and punched him hard in the face, sending him flying.

"How could this be? How could this be? Didn't you already collapse?"

Lying on the ground, looking at the figure whose body was swaying and whose wounds were bleeding profusely, Leisa called out in confusion.

No one answered him, and he didn't have time to think about the answer to the question. Sid's body, which made it seem like he could barely stand, ran towards him again.

Another flame flew towards Sid, exploding on his body and stirring up plumes of white mist. Sid fell down again.

"So what if you get up? With the difference in strength between us, I only need one strike to knock you down."

Ignoring Lessa's voice, which sounded like either guilt or fear, Sid tried even harder to suppress his body's instinct to heal its wounds. After increasing the amount of bleeding, he quickly got up and punched Lessa hard in the face again.

There are still thirty moves of the minor character's ultimate technique that he hasn't used yet.

Sid continued charging forward, but Lysa unleashed a fiery attack that knocked Sid down. Sid got up, increased his bleeding, and punched Lysa in the face.

After several rounds, Lessa's magic was completely exhausted. Seeing Sid approaching him again, seemingly driven by anger at Sid for embarrassing him, Lessa became ruthless and charged at Sid without considering Claire.

"I don't believe that you, a human, can have a stronger regenerative ability than me, who has the blood of the phoenix."

There are still twenty-five moves of the minor character's ultimate technique that he hasn't used yet.

Seeing Lysa step forward to engage in hand-to-hand combat, Sid smiled and delivered another punch to Lysa's face.

It must be said that Lessa, with the bloodline of the phoenix, is indeed strong. Even when he is so weak, he still has the strength of C+ with his physical body alone.

Lessa's fists struck Sid's face, stomach, and back repeatedly, knocking Sid to the ground time and time again.

But it didn't matter. Since his defenses were completely broken, he only needed to continue increasing the amount of bleeding to avoid being discovered that he was faking it, and then he continued to swing his fists and smash them into Lysa's face.

Seeing Sid fall to the ground again and again, only to get up and punch himself in the face each time, Lysa broke down.

"How can you still stand up... Pfft!"

Lessa stopped resisting, but Sid ignored him. He simply straddled Lessa and continued to swing his fists, naturally smashing them into Lessa's face.

"Stop hitting, I'm surrendering..."

He wanted to surrender, but Sid's fist interrupted Lysa's words.

How could I possibly let you surrender? Before my rage is unleashed... no, you're not allowed to surrender until my supporting character's ultimate technique is used up. If you surrender, who will I vent my anger on... no, I mean, how will I use my supporting character's ultimate technique?

"Get up! Aren't you the phoenix? I still have fifteen moves to make..."

The other person kept opening his mouth as if to surrender, but Sid continued to punch him to interrupt.

"Please, don't hit me..."

Beating...beating...

"No...stop...let..."

Sid continued to beat her as naturally as flowing water, and Lessa stopped moving at some point.

It wasn't until the entire alternate dimension suddenly trembled that Sid came to his senses, grabbing the unconscious Lessa by the collar and looking around.

"Has Cao Cao... made his move?"

Chapter 106 The Revealed Conspiracy

"This is so interesting!"

Seeing the several reversals that occurred in just over ten minutes, the powerful figures in the audience all became excited.

From the very beginning of the match, these powerful figures from various factions already regretted coming here.

Although they had mentally prepared themselves for a boring battle before coming here, they still felt that there would be at least one or two exciting moments.

But what they saw was actors, actors, and still more actors.

At the top of the audience seats, apart from a dozen or so people from World 2 and World 3, most of the people in the arena were strong people from World 1. This was not due to discrimination from the Underworld, but rather because of the difference in status between the worlds.

Of the three worlds, the strongest is World Number One, with at least one member from each of the major pantheons ranked in the top fifteen (High School DxD).

World Two is second, but with three vampire progenitors from the top fifteen of the worlds, it can stand on equal footing with the gods of World One (Strike the Blood).

World Three is the weakest, with hardly any Demon Kings or God-level (SS) beings. Theoretically, it doesn't even qualify to participate in the World Alliance and is only fit to be divided up by them... But World Three has a Shadow (Shadow Power User) who is among the top five in the world.

Most of the strong individuals in the audience, while not necessarily intimately familiar with each other, were certainly at least acquainted with each other's fathers.

In this situation, they could immediately tell just how much Rias's retinue was acting.

Could it be that the "Empress" named Himejima Akeno thinks that just because she has a pair of demon wings, they can't recognize the strong aura of a fallen angel emanating from her?

Not only did they recognize him, but some of them even guessed who Himejima Akeno's father was based on the [Lightning] talent in the Fallen Angel's aura. Don't ask, the answer is that they fought each other.

And that white-haired cat demon, you're a mage who can use magic, yet you're playing the [Castle] warrior class? You're really something.

Oh, that cardboard box vampire must be the most dramatic one. He has a divine artifact that can stop time, a noble vampire bloodline that is not afraid of sunlight, and the power of one of the top fifteen parts of a world that is suspected to be dead. These three combined power guarantee at least SS rank, yet he is the first one to be eliminated at the start.

In other words, the Underworld invited them to this competition without charging them a single penny; otherwise, they would have been yelling, "Damn it, give me my money back!"

But not receiving money doesn't change the fact that this was a trash match. Rias's side was already weaker than Raiza and his retinue, and they even put on an act, so what was the point of fighting?

The previous battles seemed exciting, but they found them boring. Isn't it natural for the strong to defeat the weak?

What they really wanted to see was not this boring scene, but Rias using her wisdom and strategy to overcome the odds, not this seemingly exciting battle that was actually no different from the classic case of three being greater than two.

Claire's subsequent outburst did attract some people's interest. After all, it was obvious that Claire unleashed such power because Lysa had injured someone very important to her. This might be a hidden emotional power in World Three, which easily attracted the attention of some people.

But that's all there is to it. Claire's power had already reached SS level at that time, so wasn't it only natural that she would win?

Not to mention that Claire later seemed to have become an actress as well, and it was as if her name had been banned. She suddenly collapsed, which they could see clearly. Claire's body hadn't reached its limit yet.

Now things have returned to the way they were before. On paper, Lessa was already greater than Rias, and this was even more true after Lessa consumed the Phoenix's Tears and recovered more than Rias.

As everyone expected, Raiza defeated Rias.

This is such an obvious and predictable ending, let's just get it over with.

Just as the group of powerful figures were deciding the outcome of the match with this in mind, a young man burst in.

Their only impression of the boy was that his injury caused Claire to go berserk, nothing more.

At first, no one paid attention to the boy, because in their view, the outcome of the match had already been decided.

No one cared about what the boy said. In their eyes, the anger contained in it was just a momentary youthful impetuosity. How many people can use emotions to overcome physical instincts?

When the boy stood up for the first time, some people glanced at him and then looked away, thinking that the boy's limit was probably falling down a second time.

The boy stood up a second time, somewhat unexpectedly, but this was probably his limit.

When he stood up for the third time, some people began to take Sid seriously, which exceeded their expectations.

For the fifth time, everyone in the arena focused their attention on Sid.

On the eighth occasion, some people in the audience began to breathe heavily, and for the first time, they looked at Sid directly.

It's a miracle, a true miracle. It would have been obvious if they had collapsed immediately, but they were able to get back up again and again because of their emotions.

Every time Sid fell, everyone's reason told them that this was Sid's limit, that he couldn't get up. But Sid defied common sense and got up again and again.

Sid now resembles a madman who has loaded five bullets into a revolver, preparing to shoot himself.
