The Great Demon's Desire

The Game Starts

After that encounter with the Phoenix devil clan a match was scheduled in 10 days time to allow each team to prepare with ample time.

It was also concluded that Testarossa would not be allowed to participate due to not being a servant of the house of Gremory.

Even though it was a mutual partnership, it did not allow for her participation in the rating game which was a scared thing for the world of devils.

Phantasma did not mind that.

Following the wishes of these set rules because she had no use to intervene any way. All it would do become more of a hinderance to her and the others of her group if they got more involved in this any more.

The only right she was granted was a seat to watch this fight unfolded because she did help out Rias a bit more with increasing the number of her servants and Riser also did not have any objections to Phantasma watch the rating game either. Riser figured the more people he showed off too the better his glory would shine.

Phantasma did take this time to do a bit of research on this Devil house hold that for some reason shared the name of the Legendary immortal bird monster which was said to be unkillable as it would rise again.

Phantasma was given a book record from Grayfia because it didn't interfere with any of the rules and a little lecture on the opponents name sake was understandable for those that did not know.

Phantasma was back at the hotel room the night before the decisive fight would begin. The light of the full moon was coming in from the balcony doors. It's didn't matter whether there was light or darkness Phantasma would still be able to read regardless.

Phantasma opens up the book to a mark sectioned where it shows a picture of a fire bird with its wings spread wide open heroically.

A long time ago the mystical beast, Phoenix, was looked upon by humans as a bird that governs eternal life. It was so looked upon that it left a mark of legend in many countries in the realm of the human world where it's told that the tears of the Phoenix can heal any wounds, and the blood that flows within its body can give eternal youth to those that drink it.

But there was also another clan that is different from the mystical beast Phoenix. They are the Devils that had the rank of Marquis, and were counted as one of the 72 pillars. The "Phoenix" from the Devils' side.

The humans named the Devils' Phoenix as "Phenex "to distinguish it from the mystical beast Phoenix, however the mystical beast Phoenix has the same ability as Raiser's clan. —In other words immortality.

"That's the opponent they must fight against."

Phantasma said openly as Tiamat came out to discuss such matters with Phantasma.

" Most would have to consider it practically cheating! But in all honesty they should have some kind of weakness right?"

"Yes. They are basically considered invincible much by this world's standards. Even if you attack them, their wounds would heal right away. Their flames won't even leave a bone left."

"This Riser fellow also holds Eight wins and two losses under his belt. This is the record that Raiser has at the official "Rating Game".

He fought ten times and won eight matches. He lost two of the match on purpose as kindness to one of the households he is close to. In reality he won all of his matches. He already became a candidate to obtain a title in the official game."

No matter how strong Rias is, her parents must have known that there was no way that that their daughter could beat someone immortal. Then no matter whose daughter it is, they can't avoid getting married.
