(Big Chapter. Around 1600 translated words.)
On a floating island, in a remote corner…
“No, it can’t be… How could Raynare, a mere Raynare, become this powerful? It’s impossible!”
Lying on the ground, bloodied and battered, Chessia’s face was filled with incredulity. She had actually lost. She had lost to the likes of Raynare!
“What’s wrong? Can’t accept reality, my dear Chessia?” Looking down from a higher position, Raynare wore a sinister, and cruel smile on her face as she spoke.
“I don’t believe it!” Chessia couldn’t accept the fact that she had lost to Raynare. She conjured a lance of light, preparing to thrust it toward Raynare with a mad look in her eyes.
But—
“Ah!”
Raynare’s foot stomped onto Chessia’s abdomen, and Chessia let out a wretched scream.
“Ah, what a wonderful sound. Louder, Chessia, scream louder!”
“HāHāHāHāHā…”
Her foot ground forcefully into Chessia’s stomach, and as she watched Chessia’s pained expression and listened to her agonizing screams, Raynare felt a perverse sense of pleasure. Her own soul trembled with delight, and her crazed, distorted laughter echoed around her.
Was this really the Chessia she had once feared? She was so weak now, so weak that she was like a dog, allowing herself to be bullied!
“Raynare-Sama.”
Voices from Mittelt and Kalawarner echoed as the two girls descended from the sky, tossing the barely conscious Fallen Angel girls to the ground.
Seeing her subordinates, and herself still being tormented by Raynare, Chessia’s face turned pale.
They couldn’t even defeat Mittelt and Kalawarner. What a bunch of worthless subordinates! Worthless!
However, before Chessia could continue berating her useless subordinates in her mind, intense pain once again surged from her abdomen and Chessia let out another agonized scream.
After what felt like a long time, when Raynare had finally had her fill of tormenting Chessia, the latter was left barely conscious. Her throat had grown hoarse from screaming.
Chessia couldn’t understand. She couldn’t comprehend why Raynare, who had once fawned over her, had become so powerful.
But none of that mattered now. All she felt for Raynare was deep fear.
Ignoring the other underlings, Raynare lifted Chessia from the ground—
“Tell me, Chessia, how should I deal with you?”
Licking her lips, Raynare pressed her blood-stained face against Chessia’s, wearing a bloodthirsty smile.
“N-No, don’t kill me, Raynare. I’ll never oppose you again. Please, don’t kill me…” Trembling with fear, Chessia pleaded desperately. She wasn’t done living yet. She didn’t want to die.
“Don’t worry. I won’t kill any of you. You all still have value.” Caressing Chessia’s cheek, Raynare smiled slyly as she spoke.
“Th-Thank you, Raynare. Thank you…”
Chessia’s face twisted into a smile that looked worse than crying. Inside, she roared with madness—
Damn you, Raynare. Just wait. Just wait!
But—
“You should indeed thank me, as I plan to offer all of you to our master.”
“Feel honored, Chessia. From now on, you will all become tools and bitches for our master, just like me.”
With cold and heartless words, Raynare’s twisted smile reappeared on her face.
Hearing this, Chessia was initially stunned, then she struggled desperately—
“No, I won’t! I won’t…”
She didn’t want to become a tool. She didn’t want to be anyone’s bitch!
Damn you, Raynare. If you choose to be a degenerate, that’s your choice, but don’t drag me down with you!
Though Chessia struggled and resisted, as the defeated party, she had no right to choose. Raynare let out a cold snort and punched Chessia in the abdomen. Chessia screamed, her eyes bulging, before fainting.
“Don’t let anyone find out. Take them all back to the Human World.” Throwing Chessia to the ground, Raynare said indifferently.
“Yes, Raynare-Sama!”
Mittelt and Kalawarner’s bodies trembled as they quickly responded. Faced with the increasingly dark and twisted Raynare, they were filled with deep fear.
Activating a swirling vortex of light, Mittelt and Kalawarner took Chessia and the other barely conscious Fallen Angels back to the Human World. Raynare lazily stretched and then headed toward the venue of the competition.
After all, she had played with Chessia and the others for so long, she didn’t even know how Tenraku-Sama’s match was going. She should go take a look…
…
“The rest period is over. Both sides’ 【Queens】 and 【Bishops】, please prepare yourselves. We will begin the next match shortly.”
The Devil Girls who had performed their dance routines left the stage, and the host’s voice once again resounded in the air.
“This opponent is not simple. Do your best and don’t be reckless.”
Yubelluna, Tosca, and Mihae walked onto the stage, while Tenraku instructed the three women.
Sairaorg’s 【Queen】 was a descendant of that extra story, the Devil House of Abaddon. She was said to possess a unique ability similar to a Sacred Gear named “Hole” and had shown remarkable performance in previous matches, she is practically undefeated.
Although Yubelluna, Tosca, and Mihae were exceptional members of Tenraku-Sama’s Peerage, facing such a formidable ability, they might not have a good strategy. Therefore, it was no surprise that even if the three of them lost the upcoming match, it wouldn’t be unexpected for Tenraku.
“Yes, Tenraku-Sama.” They saluted Tenraku-Sama and replied, determination gleaming in their eyes.
While Tenraku-Sama advised them to do their best, they were determined to give it their all.
It was not just for Tenraku-Sama’s victory, but also for their own pride!
Following the host’s instructions, the 【Queens】 and 【Bishops】 from both sides stepped forward onto the platform and were simultaneously transported into a different dimension as a brilliant light shone.
Amidst the cheers of countless spectators, finally, the third round of the Queen’s battle began!
…
Unlike the previous two battlefields, the arena for the third match was a group of towers constructed from countless massive stones.
As rays of light shimmered, Yubelluna and her companions appeared at the top of one tower. On the opposite tower, not far away, stood Sairaorg’s two 【Bishops】 and 【Queen】.
“I’ve heard of you, Bomb Queen. I am Kuisha Abaddon, the 【Queen】 of Sairaorg, your opponent for this match.”
Elegantly poised, Kuisha smiled as she stood at the forefront. Then, the two 【Bishops】 beside her introduced themselves:
“We are Sairaorg-Sama’s 【Bishops】—”
“Coriana.”
“Misteeta Sabnock.”
The 【Bishop】 known as Coriana was a mature woman with beautiful, golden, curly hair. Misteeta Sabnock, the other 【Bishop】, held a wand, and despite appearing petite, was actually quite the handsome young man, both in name and voice!
“I am Yubelluna, 【Queen】 of Tenraku-Sama. These are his 【Bishops】, Mihae and Tosca. Please take care of us in the upcoming match.”
Stepping forward, Yubelluna gracefully introduced her companions, while Mihae and Tosca nodded politely.
Although the next battle would be a ruthless fight, the intelligent young women knew better than to behave rudely at this moment and tarnish Tenraku-Sama’s reputation.
“Prepare yourselves, competitors. Now, I announce that the match has begun!”
As the host’s voice echoed, Yubelluna and Kuisha both emanated powerful Magic Power. The peaceful atmosphere from a moment ago was replaced by a fierce determination.
“Mihae, Tosca, support me from behind!”
“Yes!”
After giving the command to Mihae and Tosca, Yubelluna ascended into the air. On the opposite side, the 【Queen】 of the opposing team also gave the same order to her companions before taking flight.
Simultaneously, the two sides cast massive magic arrays in the air, and the battle between the 【Queens】 began!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Yubelluna released gigantic fireball attacks, while Kuisha conjured sturdy ice shields to defend against them.
Yubelluna summoned raging torrents of water, only for Kuisha to summon violent hurricanes to disperse them.
Yubelluna sent forth hundreds of lightning bolts, and Kuisha erected earthen walls to protect herself and her companions.
…
If the 【Knight】’s duel was characterized by elegant sword techniques and the 【Rook】’s duel emphasized strength and aesthetics, then this battle between the 【Queens】 was a feast of Magic!
Flashes of lightning, bursts of flames, torrents of water— countless diverse magical spells were cast by Yubelluna and Kuisha. Supported by their respective 【Bishops】, the two women unleashed all they had in a fierce battle.
Boom! Crash!
The towers around them collapsed and crumbled as Yubelluna and Kuisha continued to unleash hundreds of spells in just a matter of minutes. The intense and spectacular battle captivated the spectators outside the different dimension, prompting them to cheer incessantly.
Boom! Boom!
Yet another collision of Magic appeared, and then Yubelluna and Kuisha tacitly ceased their attacks. Both women panted as they returned to their respective towers.
Now aware of each other’s strength, their mastery of Magic was on par. Continuing like this, it seemed unlikely they could determine a victor even after three days and three nights.
“Yubelluna, are you alright?” Quickly healing Yubelluna’s injuries and replenishing her Magic Power, Mihae and Tosca both expressed their concern.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine.” Yubelluna signaled to them that she was alright, but her expression was serious.
The fact that the opponent could compete evenly with her without even using their 【Hole】 ability meant that they were facing a challenging situation…
