The Epic of Leviathan

Chapter 563: ??? (II)...



[Rating Game Field]

"It is possible" Grayfia said as soon as she arrived inside the scenario created by the Rating Game Field. When she noticed the interest on both Griselda's and Sona's faces, she decided to elaborate. "If the two of you come to an agreement then this Game can become a Battle of Kings" Grayfia explained.

"Oh… and what would happen to my Peerage members and her Team members?" Sona jerked her thumb towards Griselda.

"If they want to stay in Game Field then will be allowed to stay, but I protective barrier will be erected around the participants, in this case, it is the Kings and if they enter the protective Field then the Kings will receive a warning and the said member will be teleported out of the Game Field"

"And in case a member decides to attack the participants, then their respective King will lose the Match by default" Grayfia explained with a stern look on her face.

Sona turned towards her Peerage members. There was a good reason for Sona to accept Griselda's proposition. She was immune to Holy Aura due to the Incinerate Anthem, but her Peerage members didn't have any protections like that and she would be lying if she denied that she wasn't looking forward to the fight.

Griselda was the strongest King participating in the Rating Game Tournament, no arguments there. Well… Vali could very well be the strongest King in the Tournament, but it was still up for a debate. Vali is a Human-devil Hybrid and unlike Sona, he does not have any protections against Holy Weapons. So he would be weak in the presence of Griselda Quarta.

Sona couldn't help but cringe at the discomfort of her Peerage members. She easily noticed how they were being bothered by the Holy artefacts Griselda and her Team members were carrying on their bodies. They were yet to pull out their Holy weapons, Sona wondered how much discomfort that would cause her Peerage members.

So, there was a very good chance that all of her Peerage members would lose. They were already at the disadvantage because of the Holy artefacts her opponents were carrying. Sona shook her head with a thoughtful look on her face, while she would be the best opponent against Griselda, no doubt, but having Tsubaki along with her would have improved her odds.

But if she decided to ask for Tsubaki then Griselda would bring in her Queen too. Could she take the risk? Yes, they have fought against the members of the Church Faction in the Rating Games, but their powers have grown a lot weaker due to Lady Hela taking over the Heaven's System, but that was not the case with the Angels… or Brave Saints in this case.

After a few minutes of thinking thoroughly, Sona decided that she was going to face Griselda on her own. That would be for the best. Griselda was an expert Swordswoman and Magician, it would have been much better if she could get a Swordswoman, but if someone from her side was eliminated, then instead of being an advantage, it would become the stick that broke the camel's back.

"I accept your challenge" Sona accepted with a grin on her face. She barely held herself back from grinning viciously. She wouldn't deny that she had picked up some bad habits from Yachiru and Lady Hela, she also admitted that the taking the two of them as idols were also a bad thing, but she couldn't help but become excited at the prospect of getting to fight someone like Griselda Quarta.

"Sona, are you sure?" Tsubaki called out with a worried tone. Sona simply inclined her head.

"Don't worry… I will be fine and I also want to see if the legends of Griselda Quarta are anything true or just made up stories" Sona said with a grin while she glanced towards Griselda from the corner of her eyes.

After hearing Sona's words, Griselda slowly raised her hand and covered her mouth. She giggled softly. "I am glad that you are looking forward to the fight" Griselda smiled kindly.

"If both of the Kings are in accord then I will be teleporting everyone else away from this place and then, I will be erecting the barrier" Grayfia called out loudly. After getting a nod from Griselda and Sona, Grayfia raised her hand, and after a few seconds, Teleportation Circles appeared under the feet of both parties. After a flash of silver light, everyone beside Sona, Griselda, and Grayfia was gone.

After that, Grayfia raised her other hand too and several Magical Circles appeared in front of her hands and moments later, a barrier shimmered into existence surrounding Sona and Griselda. "The barrier is adaptive, so it will move along the two of you and if the two of you get too far from each other, then the barrier will divide itself to cover itself" Grayfia added before she also disappeared after activating a Teleportation Circle.

"You know, you are pretty shrewd and cunning" Sona smiled softly.

"I don't know what you are talking about. I just wanted to spare your Peerage members any discomfort and harm… After all, only you are immune to Holy Aura" Griselda replied innocently and Sona simply scoffed.

Yes, what Griselda said was right, but Sona refused to believe that it was the only reason why Griselda decided to modify the Rating Game. Griselda was technically not lying, she simply decided to reveal only a half-truth. Griselda knew that she couldn't defeat Sona easily and if by any chance her Peerage members decided to help her, then Sona might have been able to defeat her too.

Sona's Peerage members didn't have any defence against the Holy Aura, but they were still very strong. Someone among them might have surprised her. "Fine… I suppose I will believe you" Sona decided to agree with Griselda as she would not gain anything by arguing. She would simply end up portraying herself as a spoiled brat.

"Griselda Quarta and Sona Sitri have decided to modify the Normal Rating Game into a Battle of Kings. As the name suggests, it will be a battle between the Kings. Other members from their Team or Peerage aren't allowed to interfere in the fight" Grayfia announced in a neutral tone.

"Oh… Well, this is a surprise, I wasn't expecting this. So, let the Battle of Kings begin!!" Moments later, Serafall announced excitedly, but Sona didn't miss the hint of worry in Serafall's voice…
