Chapter 72: Rias vs Akeno
Under Rias's attack, the stone steps beneath Akeno's feet collapsed.
"What a violent girl," Akeno safely stepped aside.
At this moment, Rias exuded a crimson aura of destruction.
Her hair fluttered without any wind. She truly looked like the crimson haired ruin princess.
"Akeno, you've gone too far."
Rias's eyes turned cold.
What Akeno had just done crossed her boundaries, making her unable to tolerate the disrespect any longer.
"It seems the power of destruction is somewhat similar to the power of dragons. Extreme emotions like anger can successfully awaken it," Yasuhiro muttered to himself in the background.
Rias only had a basic understanding of her demonic power but she actually improved its quality under the influence of her intense emotions.
Akeno was secretly shocked.
As Rias's queen, she had a thorough understanding of her master's strength.
This sudden burst of power made Akeno feel a genuine sense of pressure which was unexpected.
If she were to face Rias using only her previous level of strength, she'd probably be overwhelmed.
Akeno sighed as she floated through the air.
"Even so, I won't give up easily. Holy lightning manifest!"
The power of thunder intertwined with the power of light, constantly leaping and arcing in Akeno's hands filled with the sheer majesty of angels.
"Holy lightning!"
Rias was startled. Akeno had combined the power of light and lightning to form holy lightning.
Holy lightning was the signature skill of Baraqiel. Its might was renowned far and wide.
During the great war, he used it to kill countless devils. Its terrifying characteristics were even recorded in the history of the underworld.
In terms of raw power, it was in no way inferior to the power of destruction.
Moreover, lightning was inherently a violent element.
When combined with the power of light, it caused extremely high damage and acted as a hard counter to devils.
"Akeno, is this your source of confidence?"
Having mastered holy lightning, Akeno was no weaker than Rias and perhaps even stronger.
At the same time, Rias was secretly happy for Akeno.
Being able to use holy lightning meant she had overcome the hurdle in her heart regarding her parents and regained the power that belonged to her just like Koneko.
After Koneko awakened her senjutsu, she used it to shield Sona's senses for a time.
She also reached the strength of a middle class.
Moreover, any overconfident high class might suffer a severe setback when facing her newly acquired senjutsu.
Now, Akeno had mastered holy lightning which greatly increased Rias's confidence for handling her engagement with Riser.
Even so, Rias still planned to teach Akeno a lesson and re establish her authority as the master.
Rias's power of destruction and Akeno's holy lightning collided violently in the air.
In the blink of an eye, all the clouds in the clear sky scattered.
The strong air currents generated by the energy collision blew fiercely toward the ground, uprooting many towering trees and sweeping them into the air.
"This is ridiculous," Yasuhiro shook his head.
If he hadn't discretely set up a barrier beforehand, the shockwave from this fluctuation would have disrupted the entire city of kuoh.
The normal residents would have thought some kind of natural disaster had struck. In that case, just appeasing the city and erasing their memories would have kept ORC busy for days.
Yasuhiro looked up at the sky.
Both girls were fighting fiercely. Rias attacking Akeno.
"Her strength is still too weak. She can't fully unleash the true power of destruction."
"If it were her brother, the residual shockwaves alone would be enough to annihilate the entire area."
Thinking of Sirzechs, Yasuhiro became serious.
He had long wanted to confront Sirzechs but never had the opportunity.
...
Despite the danger, Akeno remained perfectly calm.
Facing countless attacks, she transformed the holy lightning in her hands into a shield then skillfully protected against the assault.
