Which left the poor paralyzed dancer helpless before it. The large red ball of demonic power collided with her.

She didn't even have enough time to scream or even fall to the ground before she disappeared in light particles.

The Power of Destruction lived up to its name by forcing her to retire so quickly.

[Riser-sama's pawn, retired.]

"Shuriya!"

"What happened?"

Rias ignored the two shocked maids and called out, "Good job, Raito-kun. Perfect timing."

The baby sprite dragon flew out from a tree that had been positioned behind the three pawns. Flying over to Rias, he perched on her shoulder. He then let out a high pitched 'roar' of victory.

"A dragon?!" one of the maids exclaimed in shock.

"Yep," Rias replied easily. Rubbing Raito's head, she continued, "Raito-kun is still too young to take you out himself, but he is some very good support. By positioning him beforehand and distracting you myself, I gave him a perfect chance to stun one of you."

Naruto had suggested using Raito as a bit of support. Raito doesn't have the speed or power to fight a devil by himself yet, but that doesn't mean he isn't useful.

As long as Rias guards him, he can provide some support fire.

His lightning is strong enough to stun a typical low-class devil. More than enough time for Rias to finish them off.

The use of familiars is restricted in Rating Games, especially powerful familiars.

It is only natural when one thinks about it. Rating Games are meant to be a battle between servants.

If servants have the option to sit back and instead send powerful familiars to fight for them, it will become a battle between familiars.

It is for this reason that mainly only handy familiars are used in Rating Games.

Once Raito is fully grown, it will be exceedingly difficult to have him participate in a match.

Not to say it is impossible, but there would be restrictions that make it more difficult.

Since he is currently still a baby though, there aren't any restriction. Now it is just a matter of finding ways to appropriately put him to use.

Besides the support Raito can provide Rias, there is another benefit to using him now. Dragons have always been respected and feared.

Having Raito participate in this match is a way of announcing that Rias or one of her servants managed to turn a dragon into her familiar.

That is a powerful statement. Hopefully most of the devils watching will be impressed enough to overlook her fighting these pawns.

Rias launched another blast of her Power of Destruction at one of the remaining pawns, Raito shooting lightning at the other.

Both the pawns managed to narrowly avoid the attacks. It was close though.

"Crap! Marion, we need to promote!"

"I know."

The two immediately set off running as fast as they could, frequently dodging attacks.

Circling around Rias, they were clearly trying to bypass her to reach the old school building.

Once they step inside, they could promote. As pawns they were hopelessly outmatched, but as queens they might stand a chance.

Rias didn't seem worried by their idea though, and it quickly became clear why. A good ten meters from the old school building, a purple barrier sprung up to halt them. The barrier Rias had Raynare set.

"Marion, you take the barrier down. I'll buy you time," one of the maids claimed as she turned to face Rias.

Holding her hands out, multiple red magic circled formed in front of her. They formed a clear shield between Rias and the two of them.

Rias still didn't seem worried though. She just watched calmly. The pawn thought it was insane, but then her companion behind her whispered, "T-This is…"

"What is it?" she barked back harshly.

"This isn't a demonic barrier."

Rias just smiled at their shock, commenting casually, "Riser and you all have a great deal more experience than my group, considering your experience in Rating Games. We realized something though. That only applies to experience dealing with devils. Riser hates the human world. So you all have likely never fought a fallen angel. My group is a whole different story. I even have a former fallen angel in my peerage. I decided to use that to my advantage. I had Raynare put that barrier up to protect our base. Considering your lack of experience dealing with the fallen angel system of magic and spells, it will take quite a long time for you to bring it down. More than enough time for me to deal with you."

Growling, the two pawns realized promotion was out of the picture. They would need time to break down a fallen angel type barrier.

Something the enemy king obviously wouldn't be giving them. There was no choice but to fight Rias.

"Don't underestimate us," the two yelled out in unison. Moving to stand side by side, magic circles formed in front of them as they called upon what demonic power they had available.

They then launched it as a wave in unison towards Rias.

Rias responded by firing a wave of her own demonic power. Her attack easily managed to negate their combined attack.

It even continued on, heading towards them. They didn't stay still to take it. Moving in perfect unison, they split up by jumping to each side.

They then circled around Rias before each darting in towards Rias. They were going to flank Rias from each side.

Their hands started glowing as they focused their demonic power.

"Naïve," Rias declared, putting a hand to each side. In an instant, she managed to shoot a blast of destructive power from each hand.

The pawns tried to dodge, but their current momentum and Rias' fast action made it impossible. Both took direct shots of Rias' Power of Destruction.

Just like their compatriot, they didn't even have time to scream or hit the ground before they disappeared into light.

[Riser-sama's two pawns, retired.]

Rias smiled in satisfaction at her victory. The level of those three made her victory certain, but it was still nice. It was even easier than expected.
