Chapter 168 I'm Waiting for You Anytime

"Artificial artifact..."

It's natural that Rias doesn't know what an artificial artifact is.

You know, the transaction between Aize and Azazel was carried out in front of her, in her Occult Research Society.

Therefore, Rias knew very well that Aize had obtained the method of making artificial artifacts from Azazel, and had the technology and conditions to make artificial artifacts.

Because of this, Rias was not surprised at all when Aize brought out two bracelets that could help Kiba Yuto and Gasper.

But now, seeing Aize take out an artificial artifact made from the fragments of the Holy Spear, Rias just felt a little confused.

"Why are you giving me this?"

Rias asked.

"Of course it's to help you win the battle." Aize said: "Although it is unlikely that the Gremory family will lose to the family of the third young master of the Phoenix family, your strength will still be higher than that of the third young master of the Phoenix family. Above the Young Master, being strong is one thing, but whether you can win is another."

"At least, if you compete one-on-one with the third young master of the Phoenix family, you may be able to suppress him and ravage him, but you may not be able to defeat him in the ranking game."

"You should understand why I said that, right?"

After hearing Aize's words, Rias nodded with a heavy expression.

Of course she knew why Aize said that.

Because her opponent is none other than Phoenix, known as the Phoenix.

As a demon who is in charge of fire, wind and life, and has almost the same abilities as the holy beast Phoenix, every pure-blooded demon in the Phoenix family has amazing vitality.

Their injuries will recover quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even if they are wiped out, they can be resurrected immediately. They cannot be killed or defeated at all.

Although Rias's strength is higher than that of the third young master of the Phoenix family, if the two of them were to fight, it would be difficult for Rias to pose a threat to the other party.

If you want to defeat Phoenix, you can't hit him physically, but you should hit him mentally.

Physical injuries can be recovered, but mental injuries cannot.

In view of this, if you want to defeat Phoenix, you need to subject him to a serious mental blow until his spirit collapses.

This requires far more power than Phoenix.

If the opponent has god-level power, it will not be difficult to defeat Phoenix's spirit and body in one fell swoop.

But although Rias is stronger than that Phoenix, she is not strong enough to rival a god.

She had only just touched the threshold of the highest level demon. She was still far away from the demon king level, let alone the god level which was still above the demon king level.

Therefore, it is obviously impossible to defeat the opponent with strong force.

"In that case, you need to find another way."

Aize told Rias this.

"Or, some of you can use illusions and spiritual abilities, so that you can directly transcend the physical body and attack the spirit."

"Or, prepare corresponding measures to target the weaknesses of the demon race."

The former is not feasible for the time being. No one in the Gremory family is proficient in illusions or mental abilities. Even the Tacheng kittens who are supposed to make achievements in this area have developed in the direction of close combat, let alone others.

Then, Rias and others can only use the latter to deal with Phoenix.

"Everyone knows the weakness of the devil, which is nothing more than sacred items such as crosses, holy water, or holy swords."

"The light power of angels and fallen angels is also highly poisonous to demons. It just so happens that you have a half-fallen angel who can use lightning. This is an advantage."

"Although Phoenix was targeted by these sacred items, he was still able to regenerate and recover from his injuries. However, in addition to causing harm to demons, things with sacred attributes can also make them feel pain."

"This is your breaking point."

Making an enemy collapse from pain and torture is undoubtedly one of the most effective psychological blows.

Therefore, Aize made this short spear.

"Because the fragments of the Dusk Holy Spear were used when making this short spear, its holy properties are actually very strong. Even compared with the Holy Sword that demons fear most, it is not much worse."

"I have also stored a large amount of the sacred power of the Dusk Holy Spear in it. Once activated, the threat this short spear poses to demons in a short period of time will definitely not be inferior to the Holy Spear itself."

“It’s just that if the sacred power stored in the short gun is activated, it will not be able to prevent the overflow of the sacred power. The sacred power will be released in one breath until it is exhausted, and this artificial artifact will be damaged and cannot be used again. "

Aize gave a few instructions and said to Rias.

"I have made some adjustments. As long as the holder of this short spear is a demon, he will not be affected by the divine power."

"With it, even if your opponent is Phoenix, your chances of winning will not be small."

"Coupled with your own strength, there is really no reason to lose now."

Ai Ze opened his mouth with a smile, as if he had done everything he needed to do.

"This is the last thing I do for you."

Hearing this, Rias no longer cared to carefully examine the artificial artifact in her hand, and suddenly raised her head and looked at the smiling Aize.

"...In other words, you are ready to retire after your success, right?"

Rias had already keenly noticed that Aize was planning to leave.

"Everything that needs to be done has been done, and the rest is your own business." Ai Ze said calmly: "If you lose in the end, then it proves that this is your life, so just accept it obediently. For your family arrangements, go and be a housewife to Phoenix."

These words, without any surprise, made Rias raise her eyebrows.

"There is no way that I, Rias Gremory, will marry into the Phoenix family to raise a husband and children and be a housewife."

Rias said these words in a tone that left no room for doubt.

"I have my own dreams and things I want to do."

Rias's dream is to reach the top of the ranking game.

She wants to become the champion of the ranking game and become the top demon who lives up to the name of Gremory and the name of a relative of the Demon King.

She is so resistant to the marriage contract with the Phoenix family. In addition to the fact that the other party is not her type and she wants to find the person of her choice, the existence of the marriage contract will prevent her from realizing her dream. This is also an important reason. .

Anyway, no matter which angle you think about it, it is impossible for her to fulfill this engagement.

"That won't be easy?" Aize naturally knew what Rias's dream was, and said unhurriedly: "I heard that although the people at the top of the game are all top-level demons, they are all They all have demon king-level strength.”

"They are also the foundation of the demon world. Once there is a crisis, they will be awarded important tasks by the demon world."

"If you want to reach the top of the ranking game and become the champion, then it's basically the same as defeating the devil, right?"

Just think about how difficult this is.

"Of course I know it's difficult." Rias flipped her hair, smiled sweetly, and said, "But it's precisely because of this that it's worth the challenge."

If it's not difficult at all, what's the value of the challenge?

Rias believed that her brother could become the strongest Demon King, and since she had the same destructive magic power as him, there was no reason why she couldn't reach the top of the ranking game.

The same goes for her lovely servants, all of them are so outstanding. Rias believes that they will help her achieve this dream.

"When I succeed..."

Rias suddenly thought of something and looked at Aize with a serious face.

"When I succeed, I will challenge you again."

Rias's words actually surprised Aize.

"Me?"

Aize didn't expect Rias to say that.

"certainly."

Rias was very serious and solemn, and there seemed to be fire burning in her eyes when she looked at Aize.

It was the same fighting spirit that Wally had against the strong.

It was the same fighting spirit generated by Cao Cao against a powerful enemy.

"When I was in the human world, I attacked you twice, and I was defeated both times. There was no suspense about the defeat."

"After more than a month of special training here, my servants and I challenged you countless times, but we didn't win even once."

"I can't accept losing all the time, let alone not winning even once."

The red-haired girl swears here.

"I know that we are still very weak now, and there is no way we can be your opponent who can even match the gods."

"But we will get stronger, keep getting stronger, so strong that we can defeat even the devil and reach the top of the ranking game."

"When the time comes, I will definitely challenge you again, challenge you at full strength."

Rias knew that even in this more than a month of special training, Aize had never given his full strength.

He never drew out his holy spear once. He always used the magic sword that he didn't know where it came from, and defeated the entire Gremory family again and again.

Vali can still force Aize to use the forbidden hand, but he and others are not even qualified to let the other party use the holy spear?

How could Rias be willing to do this?

Her pride did not allow her to turn a blind eye to this.

"Just wait." Rias showed a fearless look and said, "My servants and I will definitely surpass you."

The weight of these words was not heavy, but Ai Ze could still detect the seriousness and persistence in them.

"OK."

At that moment, Aize also showed a fearless smile.

"I'm waiting for you anytime."

Ai Ze is still looking forward to it.

After all, they are the protagonist group of the original work, the current and future core characters of this world, they are still worth looking forward to, right?

If Rias and others really do it, Aize will definitely be happy to fight them with all his strength.

The two looked at each other for a while, and then quietly looked at the night sky, enjoying the tranquility.
