### Chapter: Down in Flames ###
BOOM! The sky exploded like a fireworks show on crack. Lightning and fire were throwing down like rival gangsters, each trying to outdo the other in sheer chaos. Craters the size of buses appeared, debris was flying around like confetti, and Kuho Academy was now nothing but a glorified junkyard.
The crowd? They were losing their minds. No one gave a damn about the destruction; they were here for the raw thrill—the carnage, the blood, the spectacle.
From the wreckage, a figure plummeted to the ground with a sickening thud. As the dust settled, there she was—Akeno Himejima, the badass Queen of the Gremory clan. Her once-pristine priestess outfit was hanging on by a thread, her chest and stomach out there for everyone to see, while her lower half was barely covered by what was left of her clothes. Blood streamed down her back and chest, and her left leg was twisted like some freakish pretzel. She looked like she'd gone ten rounds with a bulldozer—charred skin, patches of burnt fabric stuck to her like some twisted badge of honor. Her breasts, barely concealed, were scorched and scarred, but the crowd? They couldn't care less. They cheered even louder, a bunch of bloodthirsty hyenas in human form.
"Akeno's down!" the announcer shouted from the stands. "Riser's Queen takes the win!"
In this brutal arena, devils treated their servants like disposable pawns, chucking them into battle without a second thought. Emotions? Empathy? Those were for the weak, not for the ruthless devils of this world.

Above the battlefield, the camera zoomed in on Yubelluna, Riser's Queen. She hovered in the air like some twisted angel of death, purple hair cascading down her back, and her massive tits barely restrained by the skimpy excuse for a top she wore. Her devil wings looked like someone had glued a bunch of twigs to her back, but she didn't care. A smug grin was plastered on her face, sweat dripping from her forehead like she'd just run a marathon.
"Thought you could beat me, huh, bitch?" Yubelluna sneered, wiping her brow with the back of her hand. "Nice try, bitch."
Despite the power gap, Akeno and Kiba were the only ones in Rias's crew who could hold their own against Riser's forces. Akeno had fought like a beast, but Yubelluna's dirty tricks and experience gave her the edge.
---
The crowd was losing it, screaming Yubelluna's name like she was some kind of rock star. But she wasn't done yet. She was gearing up for one final, devastating attack. With a wicked grin, she conjured a fireball the size of a small car, every ounce of her remaining mana going into this last-ditch effort.
"Say goodbye, bitch!" Yubelluna snarled, her voice dripping with venom. "This one's gonna leave a mark, bitch."
(A/N: The author was scrolling through YT shorts before writing this, and this one chick kept ending every sentence with "bitch." It got stuck in his head, bitch. Now, it's all he can think about, bitch. So yeah, that's why Yubelluna won't shut up with the 'bitch,' bitch.)
Akeno's lightning attacks had hit Yubelluna hard, and now she was ready to make Akeno pay. She'd trapped her, tortured her, and now she was gonna finish the job with the biggest fireball this side of hell.
"Take this, you bitch!" Yubelluna yelled, launching the fireball with all her might.
Akeno, barely holding on to consciousness, could only whisper, "Sorry," as she saw the fiery death speeding her way. The explosion rocked the entire arena, leaving a smoking crater where Akeno once lay.
"The Queen of Gremory has retired!" the announcer's voice echoed through the arena, laced with a sick, twisted kind of excitement.
---
With Akeno out of the picture, it was down to Rias, her knight Kiba, and her pawn Issei. Meanwhile, Riser still had his Queen, two knights, a rook, and four pawns in play. The odds were stacked against Rias big time.
---
Rias watched as her cute servants were being slaughtered, rage bubbling up inside her like a volcano ready to blow. Her aura flared, glowing a furious red as her nails dug into her palms.
"Enough of this bullshit," she hissed, her voice trembling with fury. "Time to end this."
Normally, Kings stayed out of the fight until the very end, too high and mighty to get their hands dirty while their servants were still standing. But Rias wasn't playing by those rules anymore. Not when her cute servants were getting their ass fucked.
---
The announcer's voice cut through the noise. "Ladies and gentlemen, Rias Gremory herself has entered the battlefield!"
The crowd gasped as Rias stepped in, her aura crackling with raw power. Riser smirked from his vantage point, watching with amusement as she swooped in to rescue Issei, who was being hunted down by a pair of psycho twins armed with chainsaws.
"Let us chop you up and feed you to the dogs!" the twins shrieked, their green hair whipping around like crazy as they swung their weapons with glee.
Rias's eyes blazed with anger. "Get the hell away from my cute servant, you freaks!" With a burst of destructive power, she unleashed the Power of Destruction on them, obliterating the twins before they even knew what hit them, leaving nothing but a cloud of dust in their place.
She grabbed Issei by the arm, pulling him to his feet. He was instantly glued to her boobs."Come on, we need to find Kiba."
The two of them raced across the battlefield, heading towards Kiba's location. When they arrived, they found him surrounded by two pawns and a knight, the situation looking bleaker by the second. But Rias wasn't backing down now.
"Let's finish this," she said, her voice as cold as death. The final showdown was about to begin, and the stakes had never been higher.

In the audience, particularly in Rudras group, every one was focused onto the screen.
Popcorn and chips in one hand and cold drinks prepaid, Miu, Kaori, sera and rudra every one was clutching the armrest because of the tension they are feeling even Grafiya was seated beside him and enjoying the snacks with bathed breath as she watched Donaldo dribble the ball among the crowd of enemies and finally he took the striking pose and with a -
*Strike!*
**Whose!**
"""" Goal….!!!!""""
Rudra and his ladies gang cheered as Donald pulled off nearly impossible feat inside the laptop screen as they watched Soccer.
The hell with rating game, they are just bunch of hypocrites and kids fighting in this groups eyes.
The guards standing outside the door were confused and wondered if they are on risers side.
------
Kiba was in deep shit, cornered and outnumbered, his comrades dropping like flies around him. He was on his last leg, his energy spent. But he had one last trick up his sleeve—a secret technique he'd been working on. It was still in the testing phase, not ready for battle, but he was out of options.
Steeling himself, Kiba prepared to unleash his trump card. Riser's goons weren't about to give him a breather, though. They advanced together, weapons at the ready, determined to finish him off before Rias could intervene.
Tension hung in the air like a thick fog, sweat trickling down Kiba's face as he gritted his teeth. The sight of him, all princely and sweaty, made the knight hesitate for just a split second—a fatal mistake.
On the battlefield, a millisecond could change everything. And here, Kiba had a whole minute to work with.
Flames flared around the knight's sword as she readied her stance, while the two pawns prepared their spear and knuckles for the kill.
Meanwhile, Rias was racing towards her knight, wings out, flying full speed with Issei trailing behind her.
Riser watched the drama unfold, a sneer plastered on his face, who knows what twisted thoughts going through his fried brain.
---
Kiba seized the opportunity, thrusting his sword into the ground. The opponents realized their mistake, but it was too late.
"Sword Birth: Unlimited Sword!" Kiba chanted, and a forest of swords erupted from the ground with terrifying force, ripping through the air like a tornado of steel.
Caught off guard, Riser's servants were skewered by the deadly blades, their bodies riddled with holes and mortal wounds.
"Ahhhhhhh -! Ahhhhhhh -" Their screams of agony echoed across the battlefield, giving away their location to Rias, who was desperately searching for Kiba.
But their cries were cut short as they disintegrated into particles of light, their bodies vanishing in the blink of an eye. But Kiba wasn't left unscathed.
Looking closely, you could see a sword sticking out of Kiba's chest, blood dripping from the wound. The knight, despite being impaled, had managed to pierce Kiba's heart with her final, desperate strike. Both valiant warriors vanished in a burst of light, leaving the battlefield eerily silent.
