A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 1575 - 1057: Duel Between Both Sides_2

[Cid. Cyan’s two ’Soldiers’, eliminated]

The calm announcement sounded once more, causing an uproar in the VIP room where the match was being watched.

"Interesting."

Watching the battle on the screen, the Demon King smiled and stroked his chin.

"That child is Wilbert’s daughter, right? I heard that just a year ago she was an ordinary person living in the Human World, but she managed to master her Strength so quickly."

"Really, I don’t know what Wilbert was thinking."

Another Demon Clan member shook his head at that moment. frёeωebɳovel.com

"With such powerful Strength, she should have stayed in the Devil World and received proper Education. By now, she could be as strong as Lady Rias, but instead, so many years were wasted...."

The other Demons around nodded. Typically, a Demon Clan child meant to be an heir should remain in the Devil World for elite education from a young age, especially someone like Naruse Mio, who possesses the rare trait of Gravity Magic. If it were them, they would definitely have carefully guided her from a young age, not let her loose in the Human World without concern.

"Speaking of which, is it true that the Demon King has declared her separation from the Wilbert family?"

"Yes, she is now under the protection of the Tribunal and has left the family."

"What a pity....."

The Devil World currently needs a lot of talent, and it’s truly regrettable that such excellent talent is not staying in the Devil World, though the Superior Demons cannot say much, can they?

On the other side, Mary and Banriya were relentlessly pursuing the Knight and the Castle, who kept weaving through shopping malls. However, even so, Mary and Banriya kept close pursuit. Finally, in front of a rest plaza, the Knight and the Castle stopped running, turning to face the two.

"Finally had enough of running?"

Banriya was panting heavily, glaring at the enemies, when suddenly a voice called out from behind them.

"That’s right, Banriya student."

"Uh---!"

Upon hearing the voice, Banriya’s brow twitched, and she turned to look behind. There stood the student council president, Cid. Cyan, blocking their retreat with her two Archbishops.

"To be honest, my original plan wasn’t like this, but now it seems like I have no choice but to change it."

Cid. Cyan watched Mary, speaking seriously. Her initial plan had been to use the Queen, Knight, and Castle to attract Duanmu Huai’s attention and use the shopping mall terrain to outmaneuver him. Since the rules forbade destroying the mall, Duanmu Huai would undoubtedly be restricted.

But she hadn’t anticipated that Duanmu Huai wouldn’t even make a move; Mary and Naruse Mio alone had taken out her Queen and two Soldiers, making continued control tactics meaningless. So, Cyan adapted her strategy to take down the foes one by one, outnumbering them!

"So, they were used to lure us?"

"That’s right; I know Liliath will assist you, but they haven’t arrived yet. As long as we defeat you two before they get here, it will be sufficient!"

"Seems like President Cyan is quite confident."

Mary remained calm upon hearing Cid. Cyan’s answer.

"But has the president considered that perhaps Banriya and I are the bait for you?"

"Eh?"

Startled by Mary’s words, Cid. Cyan paused, and Mary whispered.

"Banriya, go ahead."

"Understood, leave it to me! Sister Mary!"

Upon hearing Mary’s words, Banriya excitedly clenched her fists, then widened her eyes at the enemies. Suddenly, an eerie pink aura radiated from Banriya’s center!

"Oh no!"

Only then did Cid. Cyan realize that she had forgotten that Banriya wasn’t a regular Demon—she was a Nightmare!

Realizing this, Cid. Cyan hurriedly tried to retreat, but then was suddenly grappled from behind by a soft figure.

"Oh, President.....!"

"Huh?!"

Suddenly hugged from behind, Cid. Cyan turned her head to see one of her Archbishops with a flushed face, eyes hazy, holding her tightly.

"I’ve always liked you, President........"

"Wait, wait, we’re in a ranking battle right now! Snap out of it!"

"I won’t, President, please answer me, do you like me?!"

"Wait, wait........!!"

While Cyan was flustered by her ally’s sudden confession, elsewhere, the Castle and Knight were also entangled.

"Snap out of it, what are you doing?!"

"Why, why is it like this? It was me first, whether being President’s follower or partnering with you, why do you like that child instead?"

"I have no idea what you’re talking about ahhhhhhh!!!!"

As for the last Archbishop, she lay on the ground, clasping her chest with one hand and panting while watching the scene unfold.

"Ahhhhhh, President X Kato student, this CP is my favorite, but Kato X President is also good... I can’t give up on either... no, no, I’m firmly President 1 Kato 0-centric....

"Aw......."

Seeing this chaotic scenario, even Mary didn’t know how to react. Indeed, though Mary appeared as the bait, the real bait was Banriya. Probably most people had forgotten that this lascivious loli, who loved hand-to-hand combat, was a Nightmare! In terms of Mind Control and disruption, Nightmares are top-tier experts among Demons!

Luckily, Mary had the Golden Pupil, which restrained all Illusion Techniques, so Banriya’s Nightmare abilities had no effect on her. That’s why Liliath paired them together. After all, if Banriya used her Nightmare powers, it didn’t differentiate between ally and enemy, and if she were paired with Naruse Mio, who knew who posed a greater threat to whom.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!"

At that moment, Liliath arrived with the Tacheng Kitten and Akeno Ushima, and upon seeing the scene, she too......

"Wow, what a disaster."

"I figured President’s plan would be effective, but not this effective......"

Seeing the scene, even the plan’s originator Liliath was dumbfounded.

But soon, she snapped back to her senses, then raised her hand.

"Well...... Attack!!"
