The Epic of Leviathan - Chapter 562: ??? (I)...

[Rating Game Field]

“This is going to be our toughest Match. No matter how much I would like to say… Griselda Quarta is undoubtedly the strongest contender in the Tournament” Sona said with a grim look on her face as she was teleported along with her Peerage members inside Las Vegas. Sona’s base was on the top floor of one of the biggest casinos and Sona was sure that it was probably the same with Griselda too…

“So, what is the plan, Kaichou. I am sure that we will be able to defeat all of her Peerage members and then we can defeat her if we fight her together” Tsubaki suggested and Sona simply shook her head.

“No, it won’t be that simple. You don’t understand, all of her Team members are extremely good with Holy Magic, even though Lady Hela had corrupted the Holy Aura, it is still called Holy Aura for a reason. It is still extremely harmful to all the Devils… Well, except for me, I suppose. So, no matter how strong you are, it wouldn’t matter. Only one scratch and you are done” Sona explained with a cold look on her face.

Tsubaki wanted to protest, but she couldn’t refute Sona’s arguments because she was absolutely right. They might be strong, but Griselda’s teammates were nothing to scoff at. All of them were quite experienced as Exorcists before they were reincarnated as Brave Saints and strength wasn’t everything, battle experience was also necessary.

“…You are right…” Tsubaki admitted sullenly.

“Kaichou! You don’t mean that we would be giving up, right?” Tsubasa asked worriedly and Sona simply snorted.

“Of course, not” Sona snapped back with a sharp look on her face and Tsubasa released a relieved sigh. “The match has already started, let’s look around” Sona said looking toward the rest of her Peerage members. She didn’t want to divide her Peerage members, after all, she could not afford to lose her Peerage members by getting them ambushed.

But, before Sona and her Peerage members could even take a step towards the door, they heard an announcement. “Sona Sitri, I am waiting for you with my Peerage in front of Luxor Hotel and Casino. I have a proposition for you, I swear on my honour that none of us will attack you for the time being” Griselda Quarta’s voice rang throughout the Game Field.

“How… interesting” Sona mused with a scary grin on her face.

“What now? Are we going to meet them? I am sure that she would break her promise and ambush us as soon as we are there” Saji grumbled and Sona started to chuckle after hearing Saji’s words.

“No, Saji. She won’t attack us. Griselda Quarta is someone who would never break a promise like that. She is just like that, but that doesn’t mean that we will lower our guards” Sona said with an amused glint in her eyes.

“So, where is this Luxor Hotel and Casino?” Reya questioned as she raised her hand like she was in the class. Sona simply sighed as she shook her head, sometimes her Peerage members acted like children.

“No, but we could always fly up in the sky and locate this Luxor Hotel. This is Las Vegas… I am sure that all of the casinos are over-exaggerated” Sona said in a dismissive tone and all of the Peerage members had to admit that Sona did have a point.

Following Sona’s suggestion, everyone quickly flew out of the building and started to look for Luxor Hotel and Casino. Murayama was the one who found the said building. Luxor Hotel and Casino was designed like a Pyramid. Without wasting any time, Sona and the rest of the Peerage members made their way toward Luxor.

Just as Griselda Quarta had said, she was waiting in front of Luxor along with all of her Team members. Griselda had a small gentle smile marring her face, much like the smile of Yachiru Unohana when she was in her gentle and kind persona. Sona and her Peerage members landed several metres away from Griselda.

“Thank you for coming, miss Sitri. I was half expecting that you would not accept my offer” Griselda spoke softly as she inclined her head.

“There is no reason not to come. Knowing you I knew that you wouldn’t try to trick me or anything and you can call me Sona” Sona replied in a polite tone.

“Sona, then you may call me Griselda. As I said, I have a proposition for you” Griselda said and Sona simply gestured her to continue. Griselda gave her a polite nod. “Sona, would you like to make some modifications to the Game?” Griselda asked.

Sona raised her brows in interest. She was wary, but at the same time, her interest also peaked. “What sort of modifications?” Sona asked curiously. Griselda was glad that Sona was at least willing to hear her out.

“How about we make this a Match between Kings? None of your Peerage members or my Team members will get involved. It will be a fight between just the two of us” Griselda revealed with a smile on her face.

Sona cocked her head sideways and looked turned towards her Peerage members. Some of them were gaping from shock after hearing Griselda’s suggestion, while some, like her Queen, looked completely stoic. Sona had to admit that Griselda’s suggestion was quite interesting.

“…Let’s say I agree with your suggestion, Griselda, then what guarantee do I have that your Team members won’t attack my Peerage members or for the matter of fact attack me from the back?” Sona asked in a neutral tone.

“How dare y…!!” Griselda’s Queen began to speak, but Griselda stopped her with a simple gesture. “Sorry” the woman muttered and Griselda simply gave her a soft smile. Then she turned back towards Sona.

“I have read a rule that if both of the Kings are in accordance, then we can modify the rules of the Rating Games… Though, we might need the assistance of Lucifuge-San” Griselda spoke politely, as she glanced towards the sky from the corner of her eyes.

Moments later, a Teleportation Circle appeared in between Griselda and Sona. The Teleportation Circle had the Lucifuge Clan crest and with a silver flash, Grayfia Lucifuge appeared out of the Teleportation Circle…
