The Epic of Leviathan - Chapter 525: Let's Start The Games (IV)...

[Rating Game Field]

Just like Sona has predicted, Seekvaira avoided any sort of direct confrontation. As soon as Seekvaira’s Peerage would notice the enemy Peerage members, they would quickly hightail out of the area. Obviously, Zephyrdor’s Peerage members reported back to him regarding this phenomenon

After that, Zephyrdor used his infinite wisdom and came to the conclusion that Seekvaira must be afraid of him. Zephyrdor was sure that Seekvaira had selected this forest as their battlefield so that she could easily hide from him. So, he ordered his Peerage members to stop looking for the objects and search for Seekvaira instead. That was his first mistake.

Zephyrdor wanted to leave this forest as soon as possible, but unfortunately for him, Seekvaira had been able to avoid him masterfully.

“Two objects have been destroyed by Seekvaira Agares’ Peerage” All of a sudden Zephyrdor froze when Grayfia announced that two objects had already been destroyed. Zephyrdor didn’t know how to continue… Should he continue to look for Seekvaira or should he tell his Peerage members to search for the objects?

After a few minutes of contemplation, in his infinite wisdom, he decided to do both at the same time. He asked half of his Peerage members to keep looking for Seekvaira while he told the other half to search for the objects. After another hour, his Peerage was finally able to locate one object.

So, he decided to destroy the object before he could continue to look for Seekvaira. Unfortunately for him, Seekvaira had also located another object. So before Zephyrdor could celebrate, another announcement rang throughout the arena, making Zephyrdor grit his teeth in anger.

“Three objects have been destroyed by Seekvaira Agares’ Peerage” after a small pause, another announcement was heard. “One object has been destroyed by Zephyrdor Glasya-Labolas’ Peerage”

Zephyrdor was almost frothing from his mouth. The Agares bitch was making him look bad, and if this continued at a pace like this, then he would lose the Game. So, he asked his Servants who were looking for the objects to fan out.

He wasn’t bothered by the fact that by separating his group, he was allowing Seekvaira to hunt down his Servants one by one…

And that is what started to happen only after a few minutes. “One Bishop of Zephyrdor Glasya-Labolas has been eliminated” The announcement rang out throughout the arena and Zephyrdor froze with a dumb look on his face. He simply couldn’t believe this was happening. It must have been his weaker Bishop. Yes!! That was the most probable reason. He will deal with her later.

“Four objects have been destroyed by Seekvaira Agares’ Peerage” only after a few moments, another announcement rang throughout the arena. Zephyrdor could only grit his teeth in anger. Even after the failure of his so-called brilliant plan, he decided to continue using the same plan.

“Two Pawns of Zephyrdor Glasya-Labolas has been eliminated” Another announcement rang throughout the arena and this time, Zephyrdor was downright furious. He was sure that Seekvaira was somehow cheating and there was a chance that the girl was cheating.

Zephyrdor was about to start moving again, but all of sudden he froze and moments later, he threw himself to the side and several Magical attacks rained down on the spot he had been standing. Zephyrdor wasn’t going to get a break as several Magical attacks slammed on his side as he tried to get up.

Zephyrdor was belated away and slammed against a tree. He spat out some blood and started to look around, and he finally noticed where the attacks were coming from, but there wasn’t anything he could do about that right now since several attacks were coming in his direction.

Zephyrdor used all of his power to jump away from the spot where he had landed. His face was marred with complete disbelief. He couldn’t believe he was being pushed around by none other than the King of enemy Peerage, Seekvaira Agares. He continued to gape in disbelief as the girl kept pushing him around with Magical Attacks. Magical Attacks!!!

Magic was the speciality of the Glasya-Labolas Clan and he was pretty sure that he was the best among the young Devils, so how did Seekvaira Agares get so good at it, and that wasn’t the only problem, she was so good with her Magic that he wasn’t getting any chance to counter-attack.

“How did you get so good at Magic, you bitch?” Zephyrdor screamed out in rage. He couldn’t keep jumping around like this… He was feeling like a monkey and the previous attack had injured him more than he had expected, now he was having troubles moving around.

For whatever reason, Seekvaira didn’t bother to humour Zephyrdor with an answer and continued to attack him from a safe distance. “Enough!! I won’t be treated like this by an uppity bitch!!” Zephyrdor exclaimed in anger as he pointed his palm in Seekvaira’s direction. Several Glasya-Labolas Clan Magical Circles appeared in front of his palm, but before he could activate them, he felt something slash against his back.

“Gahhh!!” Zephyrdor turned around only to find Seekvaira’s Knight has attacked him from the back like a coward. The stupid bitch wasn’t alone like he had thought, but he was going to make them pay. Unfortunately for Zephyrdor, his desire was going to stay unfulfilled as several Magical attacks slammed on his body from the side.

Zephyrdor was surprised and distracted by the Knight’s attack and Seekvaira only needed a small distraction to deal with the moron. So, while Zephyrdor was planning on how to make them pay, Seekvaira decided to deliver the final blow.

“B-bit…”Zephyrdor started to stutter something, but he faded into white particles.

“Zephyrdor Glasya-Labolas has been eliminated. Seekvaira Agares herself along with her Knight has secured the victory for their Peerage by eliminating the King of their opposing Peerage!!” Grayfia exclaimed loudly and the arena was filled with cheers of the crowd. The Factions might not like the Devils, but all of them knew how to appreciate a good victory like this.

“Hah… That wasn’t that hard” Seekvaira’s Knight declared while releasing a content sigh.

“He was a moron. He made it a lot easier for us to win. If he wasn’t stupid enough to split his Peerage members like that, then we would have to work much harder” Seekvaira replied with a grin.

“Yep… He was really stupid to lurk around on his own” Seekvaira’s Knight, Bafeel Furcas agreed with Seekvaira…

“With this, the 1st Rating Game of the Devil Faction Elimination Round is finally over!” Grayfia announced the Amazon Forest started to disappear. “The 2nd Rating Game of the Devil Faction Elimination Round will start after a 30-minute break” Grayfia added and the Amazon Forest completely disappeared.

“Now, I would ask Sona Sitri and Diodora Astaroth to join me on the stage, so that we could decide what your variant of Rating Game is going to be” Grayfia announced and everyone still present inside the arena knew that it was their cue to leave.

So, Seekvaira quickly gathered her Peerage Members and they happily made their way towards the Devil Faction Waiting Room along with the disheartened, saddened, and afraid members of Zephyrdor’s Peerage…

[Devil Faction Waiting Room]

“I suppose that’s our cue…” Sona said with a blank look on her face. She gave a sidelong glance towards Diodora Astaroth and his Peerage members. She didn’t know what was wrong with the group, but she is going to find it.

After a couple of minutes, Sona Sitri and Diodora Astaroth found themselves on top of the stage. On the way to the stage, Sona Sitri along with her Peerage members congratulated Seekvaira Agares on her victory, while Diodora Astaroth simply gave Seekvaira a polite nod.

Once again, Grayfia summoned the glass bowl filled with paper slips. Diodora politely asked Sona to choose, so Sona simply shrugged and picked up a paper slip. She slowly opened the paper slip, revealing what was written on the paper.

As soon as Sona read the contents, a displeased look appeared on her face. She couldn’t help but curse her own luck. She got the most annoying variant of the Rating Games, anything would have been better than what she had picked up.

Moments later, the name of the Rating Game appeared on the Screens. Sona Sitri and Diodora Astaroth were going to face each other in a Rampage Ball type Rating Game. The Devil side of the spectator stand groaned in annoyance, just like the last time, the spectator stand could look at each other with confused looks on their faces.

“Do either of you have any preferences for the arena?” Grayfia asked. Even Grayfia was displeased with Sona’s luck, but she was going to follow through with her job like a real pro, or she would be making a bad impression of Lady Hela. After all, Grayfia is Lady Hela’s maid. So, Grayfia acted completely normal.

Even Diodora didn’t know what to say, so he simply stared at Sona for a moment, and then he turned back to Grayfia. “Random!” Diodora said politely with a small nod of his head. Then after that, Grayfia glanced towards Sona.

“Random” Sona also decided to go with the ‘Random’ option. She simply wanted to get over with the Game, she had lost all of her excitement.

“Random it is” Grayfia confirmed with a nod of her head. “The Kings have decided to go with the Random option, the AI will be selecting an environment for the Game on its own” Grayfia announced looking at the crowd. She told Sona and Diodora that they could either wait in the arena or they could go back to the Waiting Room.

Both Sona and Diodora opted to stay and wait in the arena. Then once again Grayfia decided to address the crowd. “Now, I am sure that the other Factions must be wondering what this Rampage Ball type Rating Game is… Then don’t fret, just like the last time, I will be giving all of you an explanation…”
