Chapter 538 - Fallen Angels Faction Elimination Round (II)...

[Rating Game Field]

"All you might be wondering what Lightning Fast Game is… Please allow me to explain. Lightning Fast Game is a short variant of Rating Game. Lightning Fast Game only has a one-hour time limit along with the smallest Game Field. In simpler terms, it will be a quick match… a blitz" Grayfia explained to the crowd. She decided to give the audience a small break so that everyone could digest the information.

"With the one-hour time limit, whoever defeats their opponent King wins. In case neither team could defeat the enemy King, the winning team will be decided by the number of points calculated by the number of pieces each side has claimed from the other…" Grayfia finally finished her explanation and the crowd roared in cheers…

[Devil Faction Waiting Room]

"What are you doing here, Onee-san?" Sona questioned Serafall, who entered the waiting room assigned for the Devil Factions. Right now, only three teams were lounging in the room since three teams were already eliminated. 

"I am hurt, So-tan. Don't you want to see me?" Serafall sniffed and started to wipe away the tears. Sona frowned and then she started to scowl. She knew that Serafall was faking it, but she couldn't help but feel really bad.

"No! That is not what I meant. I am simply asking what are you doing here? I was just curious… please, don't cry" Sona immediately went to comfort Serafall. Tsubaki covered her mouth and started to snicker, Sona heard her snickers and gave her a dirty look.

Serafall wasn't bothered by the others and as soon as Sona was close to her, she lunged at Sona pulling her into a tight hug. Sona sighed in resignation and returned the hug. She knew that if she didn't do that then her sister would try to cry again.

"Sorry, I couldn't return yesterday… I was extremely busy with the Tournament or I wouldn't have missed your victory celebration for anything" Serafall cooed while patting Sona. The bespectacled sister looked flushed, but she didn't move away from Serafall.

"I understand, and I wasn't angry or anything. So, you don't need to apologize… By the way, what happened to Diodora Astaroth?" Sona asked and Serafall and the older sister immediately grimaced after hearing the last part. To be honest, she didn't want to burden her cute little sister with such graphic details. Of course, Serafall knew everything since Hela had told her.

"He was captured. Then Lady Hela asked Ajuka to torture him…" Serafall took a small pause. She couldn't even guess what Ajuka had gone through while lashing his brother. She has talked with Ajuka and the man seemed to be extremely tired and heartbroken,

Serafall took a deep breath. "...After extracting the necessary information, he was tortured into insanity by Unohana-tan. I dont know if the boy is still alive or not… I am yet to hear anything" Serafall finished with a shrug. 

"...Oh…" Sona breathed out. "Do you know how he got that power?" Sona asked and once again Serafall nodded her head.

"Yes, he had joined Khaos Brigade and it was Rizevim Livan Lucifer who gave him the power" Serafall explained in one go. Sona nodded her head in understanding Sona's face was completely blank, so Serafall mistook it for sadness. So, she decided to comfort her younger sister.

"Sona, he might have been a young boy, but he was a traitor. Don't feel bad for him. Diodora Astaroth had committed many atrocities… Do you know he had a thing for breaking nuns? All of his Peerage members had been nuns, he brainwashed them into sex slaves. He had also killed Lucretia Glasya-Labolas when she discovered what he did with his Peerage" Serafall quickly explained and Sona looked kind of horrified after hearing all that.

"Now, I feel bad for sparing him… If I had known all this before then I would have cracked open his skull with my bare hands" Sona growled menacingly. Serafall was taken aback by the venom in her sister's voice and she couldn't believe that Sona wanted to crack open someone's skull with her bare hands.

Now, Serafall felt extremely conflicted… One part of her wanted to chastise Sona for saying something like that and teach her that she shouldn't do something like that. Meanwhile, another part of Serafall's mind was telling her to bring a few subjects to Sona so she could perfect her skull cracking technique. As a good elder sister, it is her duty to help her younger sister, right?

"I can't believe he killed Lucretia… She was my friend and all of a sudden, she disappeared without a trace along with her Peerage" Sona breathed out in a disbelieving tone. "Now, I wish that I was there too…" Sona added in a disappointed tone while shaking her head.

Once again, Starfall found herself conflicted… but ultimately, her caring and supporting older sister part won the conflict. "Sona you need to become stronger if you want to join Lady Hela's closest aides" Serafall said in a caring tone and Sona could only nod her head…

Sona was very smart, so she obviously suspected that Lady Hela was probably grooming her to be the next leader of the Devils or some other important position or why would someone like Yachiru Unohana would want to train her just for the Rating Game Tournament… That was simply courageous!!

Sona has thought a lot and she finally reached one simple conclusion. Lady Hela was grooming her for some important position and she wanted to use the Rating Game Tournament to make Son popular. Sona also concluded that the Rating Game Tournament was a test for her. So, there was a very good chance that Lady Hela would stop investing her time in Sona if she disappointed her and that was something Sona didn't want to do…

"Don't worry Onee-san, I won't disappoint anyone, and one day… I will make you proud…" Sona declared with a bright smile on her face.

"*ahem* Sorry to interrupt but the Game has started…" Tsubaki coughed in her hand to get the attention of two sisters as the 2nd Match of the Fallen Angels Elimination round was about to start. Vali Lucifer was one of the strongest contenders of this tournament and Sona couldn't miss the Game. She needed to collect as much information she could get about Vali Lucifer's Team…

[Rating Game Field]

"I think you should have been more specific about the arena" Bikou deadpanned as they found themselves inside a random tall building of London. Vali didn't say anything, but he kind of agreed with Bikou. He should have been more specific with the location…

"Kuroka… Your role in the Game is going to be very important… You need to sense the enemies" Vali said while staring at Kuroka.

"Of course, nya~. Leave that to Kuroka, nya~" Kuroka proudly proclaimed and Vali simply nodded his head in understanding.

"Le Fay, I need you to put an Obscuring Spell on this building so that they can't locate our base" Vali said while looking at Le Fay Pendragon.

"I could put an Obscuring Spell, but it is not going to be anything strong since I don't have a lot of time" Le Fay warned Vali, and even after Le Fay's warning, Vali asked her to proceed… Any type of protection is welcome…

"Arthur, I am leaving you here in the base along with Le Fay… contact us if they find you and if we end up eliminating more than half of their Peerage members, then leave the base and join us…" Vali dished out the final order and Arthur nodded his head in understanding. There were a couple of new members in Team Vali. Some Fallen Angels had decided to join his team just for the game.

"Ok, let's go and look for Orias and his team. All of you keep in mind that Orias and his team members are pretty familiar with the Game Field, so don't get ambushed" Vali warned everyone and after a few moments, they left the building. As soon as Vali and the others were gone, Le Fay cast the Obscuring Spell to hide their base…

Finding Orias and his team members weren't that hard, especially with Kuroka's help. Orias' plan was very good… he had asked half of his team members to search for Vali's base and he had asked the other half to set up an ambush for Vali. Unfortunately for Orias, Vali discovered his plans before Orias could even finish preparing his trap.

So, using Kuroka's sensing abilities… Vali prepared the Orias' team members who were looking for his base. Since the Game Field was very small compared to the other Game Fields, travelling around was very easy. So, preparing a trap for the wayward team members of the opposing team wasn't that hard.

So, Vali and his team decided to prepare an ambush from over a tall building. They only had to wait for a couple of minutes, before their targets arrived at the scene. As soon as those wayward team members of the opposing team arrived at the street beneath their building, Vali and his team members pounced on those poor targets…
