''Get ready you two!'' Declared Riser going full tilt towards Altair.

Riser tried to punch Altair in the face, but Altair, using his reflexes, deflected by turning to the side and landed a swift front kick to his face.

Renewed Taekondo: Hwechook

The kick was strong enough to cause an impact wave behind Riser's head.

Riser flew towards a tree, but in mid-air, he managed to balance himself and land quietly on the ground.

''What a force...'' Riser thought as he set his jaw back into place.

This was by far the most powerful human he had ever faced in his entire life. To be honest, Riser was even wondering if Altair was really a human.

Altair knew he couldn't relax now and this was realized when he felt someone behind him.

Turning his body to the side, he could see a hand passing by where his body had previously been.

This blow was struck by Issei, who tried to attack him from behind.

Altair quickly grabbed his arm and turning quickly landed a kick using his left leg on the left side of Issei's head, and using the other leg landed another kick on the opposite side of his head, and then jumped up and landed another kick on the back of his head using his left leg.

Third Posture: Hwechook

Upon receiving the third kick, Issei was brutally sent towards a rock in front of him, destroying it after the impact with his body.

The devils who were watching this battle were all shocked, because a human had managed to easily overpower two devils, and it should be known that these two devils were not ordinary, as one belonged to the Phenex clan, while the other simply had one of the 13 Longinus.

''But what happened? Just one blow was enough to overpower him?!'' Rias inquired in disbelief at the scene that had happened in front of her.

"No, Rias. Actually, it was three blows.'' Sirzechs said making her sister's eyes widen at that statement.

''But... I only saw one hit...'' she said causing Sirzechs to sigh slightly.

''You're still not fast enough to see them, it was three hits in one second.'' Sirzechs explained making Rias' eyes widen even more.

...

...

Meanwhile, in a further part of the forest.

Artoria and Jeanne were facing their ten opponents, who were surrounding them.

So that Sirzechs had decided to leave most of the enemies to them, in an attempt to find out more about their abilities.

''You two don't seem like great things, I wonder why Sirzechs-sama didn't teleport us near the Riser-same?'' Yubelluna inquired looking scornfully at the two girls.

''And I will know, ask him when you get back there.'' Artoria said quietly, but that only served to leave Yubelluna with a pulsing vein in her forehead.

''You bitch... Ni and Li, go after that other woman, while Ile and Nel, go after that blonde with no breasts.'' Yubelluna ordered, causing the four mentioned, to start walking, slowly, towards their respective targets.

''Jeanne, let's split up, we'll only get in the way if we stay together.'' Instructed Artoria to Jeanne, who half uncomprehendingly nodded in confirmation.

''Understood.'' Confirmed Jeanne as she unfastened her black rapier and jumped towards another place with Riser's two handmaidens at her tail.

''Are you sure that fighting all of us alone is a good idea?'' Inquired Yubelluna confused by Artoria's decision.

Artoria didn't answer, but a smile had formed on her face, this time she would not hold back in her attacks.

The weather began to get darker, as a black fog began to surround the place, the vegetation began to wither, the trees began to rot, the leaves to fall...

''What is it? This feeling...' Yubelluna thought with a shiver running up her spine.

''Hey, you, girl who is flying...'' This call made Yubelluna wake up from her reveries.

''What?'' She inquired angrily.

What did you call me anyway? The blonde inquired.

The cold tone in her voice caused all the girls to shiver.

"Chestless blonde. Why? Did you get angry?'' Yubelluna inquired, smiling.

Artoria, upon hearing this, let a cold smile form on her face.

The twins took a step back, afraid of what was coming next.

After that, the mist started to become even more abundant around them, causing them all to widen their eyes as they finally realized the source of it all.

As the mist grew thicker, strange black ribbons began to emerge from the ground around Artoria. She raised her right hand high and in the next second, her black sword appeared in her hand.

As she lowered it all at once, reddish rays began to crackle around her as the ribbons enveloped her completely. And the second after...

A huge amount of reddish colored magical energy was shot towards everyone in the place, who, as they were together, had no way to escape.

The massive mana beam continued, devastating everything in its path, trees were uprooted by the pressure of the attack.

After another two seconds, the beam stopped, thus revealing the state the forest was in.

There was a huge trail of devastation galore within all that devastation.

The ribbons began to drift away from their owner, thus revealing their current appearance.

Artoria found herself wearing her black armor over her gothic dress and with a black visor with some reddish cracks covering her eyes.

''Where did they go?'' Inquired Artoria emotionlessly as she looked around for any sign of Riser's peerage.

That was a close one...'' Xuelan commented with a sigh of relief.

Looking up, Artoria saw that some girls had managed to evade his attack just now.

The girls who had managed to dodge it were standing on top of a magic circle in the air, probably because of some of Yubelluna's magic.

A Bishop and a Riser Phenex Knight were eliminated!

Yubelluna clicked his tongue in displeasure.

''Ile and Nel, go help the other twins. We will take care of this girl.'' Ordered Yubelluna, and the aforementioned, jumped out of the magic circle as they ran to where their other two companions had previously gone.

''Are they still alive? What a surprise...'' Artoria commented looking indifferently at them.

What an arrogant woman...'' Xuelan growled angrily.

"Don't be reckless. Look what she did with just one attack!" Isabella scolded, and Xuelan looked at the trail of destruction caused by Artoria, and she couldn't help but feel a chill run through her body.

"I'll go first. Said Karlamine to the amazement of the other girls.

"You're crazy! We need a plan to finish her off! Xuelan exclaimed in surprise at her friend's statement.

''Yes! She can't against all of us!'' Isabella declared with Xuelan agreeing with her line.

''Don't be idiots! Don't you see that she is much more powerful than us? Questioned Karlamine annoyed with her friends' lack of perception.

''Look here-'' Xuelan cannot finish her speech, as she was hit by an extremely powerful black beam.

Followed by Karlamine being hit, without having any chance to react.

''XUELAN! KARLAMINE!'' Shouted Isabella in despair as she saw the others disappear into blue particles.

A Rock and a Riser Phenex Knight was eliminated!

''YOU BITCH!'' Shouted Isabela going all out on Artoria, who just sighed in dismay.

"DIE! She shouted, trying to throw a frontal punch, but Artoria just held the punch with one hand, making her eyes widen in shock.

''What a disappointment...'' Artoria muttered, and using the same hand she used to block Isabela's attack, she landed a blow on her chin, making Isabela lose her posture, becoming semi-conscious.

Taking advantage of her current position, Artoria raised her sword, and brought it down hard, breaking it in half and causing a huge beam of black mana to destroy everything in its path.

A Riser Phenex Rock was knocked out!

''D- Damn...'' muttered Yubelluna in fright.

With that she proceeded to fly desperately towards her King.

Is she trying to escape? inquired Artoria indifferently.

While flying, Yubelluna felt something grab her left leg, and as she looked at her leg, she saw one of those ribbons wrapping around it. And after that, she was pulled brutally towards the ground.

But she, still in the air, managed to balance herself to land on the ground.

''Pathetic.''

Yubelluna heard a cold comment before more red ribbons appeared around her. Wide-eyed, she tried to fly away from that place, but the ribbon tied to her leg would not allow something like that.

"Not that one! She thought before the ribbons began to tie certain parts of her body together.

First her right arm, that ribbon made her suspended off the ground. Then another ribbon was tied around her legs, holding her down. And the third ribbon, was around her neck.

With a wave of her hands, Artoria made the ribbons throw Yubelluna towards herself.

And raising her sword high, she concentrated a large amount of black mana on her sword and brought it down with everything, shooting a huge black beam towards Yubelluna.

A Queen of Riser Phenex was knocked out!

''How boring...'' muttered Artoria indifferently as she kept her Excalibur Morgan in her shadow.

With that, she proceeded to walk towards where Jeanne had previously gone. But at the same time, being fully aware that, perhaps, she might not be in that direction.
