[Rating Game Field]

Everything was going completely fine and Diodora's Peerage members were steadily decreasing. By the time Tsubasa and Saji had taken down half of their Peerage members, Diodora had decided that it wasn't worth it to keep flying in the sky and become an easy target. So, he ordered his remaining Peerage members to stick to the ground.

That was a very bad move… Since the attackers were still up in the air, they were still on a better vantage point to continue their attacks. The onslaught continued and this time, the attacks were much more precise than the last time. Diodora Astaroth finally understood his mistake, but it was too late to rectify anything.

He was the last man standing… literally. After all, Diodora Astaroth didn't have any men in his Peerage. A couple of his Peerage members were dead, while the rest were severely injured. None of them would be getting up any time soon. Diodora had never imagined that Sona Sitri would be so vicious. For fuck's sake, Sona Sitri and her Peerage members weren't supposed to be this strong in the first place.

Diodora finally realized that there was no way he could win now and outright surrendering would ruin his reputation. He also realized that defending himself with Magic wasn't against the rules. So, he created a barrier to protect himself, but the barrier wasn't strong enough to withstand the onslaught. The barrier shattered like glass only after two attacks.

Diodora barely threw himself to the ground the Golden Ball attack passed over his head. Diodora immediately decided to use the Power he has received. He was sure that nobody would notice it since he was still going to use the Devil Magic to defend himself. Several people immediately noticed that something was wrong with Diodora's Magic.

Diodora's Magic surged forward as he created a new barrier, his Magical Power was multiplied several times in a span of a few seconds. Obviously, even an average-brained person would know that something was wrong. Once again, the barrier was attacked by Tsubasa, but this time, the barrier didn't even shake when the Golden Ball collided against the barrier.

"Hahaha!! You can't bring down this barrier. This is my strongest barrier!" Diodora started to boast. Not that, Sona heard his words since she was very far away from Diodora.

"We don't need to attack the moron anymore" Sona ordered and Saji stopped who was about to attack Diodora with the Golden Ball. "Let him stay in there… we will simply defeat him by scoring more points. After all, the team with more points would win the Game when the timer runs out" Sona shrugged with a devious grin on her face.

Saji also shrugged and passed the ball to Tsubaki. They already knew the location of the Golden Hoop, so Tsubaki simply threw the Golden Ball into the Golden Hoop, earning 9 points for the team.

"Tsubaki Shinra has earned 9 Points for team Sona Sitri!" Grayfia announced cheerfully, this time she was much more cheerful than the last time. Grayfia also knew that something was very wrong with Diodora Astaroth, but she wasn't going to act since it wasn't her place to act in the first place.

"Sona Sitri has earned 10 Points for her team!" Once again Grayfia announced in a cheerful tone. After that, similar types of announcements were heard throughout the arena for nearly an hour. Sona and her Peerage members became bored and decided to play Pass the Ball. That was more interesting than scoring goals when they had already won the Game.

Diodora was still hiding inside his barrier… Sona didn't know why Diodora haven't surrendered yet, but it wasn't her place to judge a moron, so she simply shrugged and decided to ignore the stupid moron.

Meanwhile, Diodora Astaroth was seething in anger. He has never felt so humiliated by anyone. He knew that he would be safe inside the barrier, and he was right, he was completely safe inside the barrier and that was the only thing he had speculated correctly.

He had thought that Sona Sitri would continue to attack and humiliate herself, but the girl had stopped attacking him and continued to score goals. Now, Diodora could dismiss the barrier, but he wouldn't be able to create a barrier like this for the second time. So, he had to hide in here like a coward while Sona Sitri continued to score more Points for her team.

What was even more humiliating was the fact that they stopped scoring any more Points and play Pass the Ball. Diodora felt like he had been slapped on his face… In fact, he felt that it would have been much better if he had been slapped on the face. Diodora finally started to regret his decision of using barriers to protect himself.

Diodora gritted his teeth so hard that it was a surprise that his teeth didn't shatter under the pressure. "I forfeit!!" Diodora declared while looking towards the sky. Previously, Diodora had decided not to Forfeit the match to protect his reputation, but right now, Forfeiting the match was much better than being humiliated for the rest of the match, especially when he already knew that he couldn't win anymore.

"Diodora Astaroth has decided to Forfeit. Sona Sitri wins the 2nd Rating Game of the Devil Faction Elimination Round" Grayfia announced and Diodora along with his Peerage members were teleported into the infirmary as soon as the Game Field was dissolved. "The 3rd Rating Game if the Devil Faction Elimination Round will start after a 30-minute break" Grayfia announced and slowly platform rose up from the ground.

Moments later, Grayfia teleported on the platform. "Now, would ask for Rias Gremory and Sairaorg Bael to join me on this stage" Grayfia said and Sona knew that they were dismissed, so she quickly led her Peerage towards Devil Faction waiting room. The boring Game had taken a toll on them, but it was quite good when they were laying waste on Diodora's Peerage. It was good while it lasted…

Rias Gremory was a nervous wreck… she knew that she was going to lose. She wasn't delusional enough to think that she could pull a miracle and end up winning the Game. Sairaorg was on a completely different level. Rias has already accepted the fact that she was going to lose, but that didn't make it any better for her.

Rias was so lost in her thoughts that she even forgot to congratulate Sona. Sairaorg along with his Peerage members obviously congratulated Sona when they met her on their way to the platform. Sairaorg was pretty impressed with the display… Yes, he would have preferred if Sona wasn't so callous about killing, but that was also a part of the game, so he couldn't complain.

Sairaorg had also expected that the Rampage Ball Game was going to be boring as usual, and he was really disappointed over the fact that there were still some Devils who still considered the Rampage Ball Game to be one of the variants of the Rating Games. The inclusion of Rampage Ball Game in the category of Rating Games was simply hilarious… if not downright insulting.

Sairaorg and his Peerage had been quite surprised by the way Sona had twisted the rules of the Game to get her way and turn it into a battle. Sairaorg had heard a lot of things about Sona Sitri, he knew that the Sitri Family Heiress was known for her smarts, so Sairaorg honestly wasn't expecting her Peerage members to be that strong. Sairaorg couldn't help but feel excited over the prospect of fighting such strong opponents.

Both Sairaorg and Rias found themselves standing on the platform in front of Grayfia. Grayfia produced the glass bowl filled with paper slips and extended it towards Rias and Sairaorg. Like a gentleman, Sairaorg allowed Rias to pick the paper slip. Rias took a deep breath and grabbed a paper slip from the bowl.

Before Sona's graphic display in the Rampage Ball Game, Rias would have preferred to participate in the Rampage Ball Game against Sairaorg, but now she desperately wanted to avoid picking up the Rampage Ball Game. She knew that Sairaorg wasn't probably vicious or ruthless like Sona, but it would be better if she could avoid that Game altogether.

Rias slowly opened the paper slip to reveal the contents of the paper and she almost released a relieved sigh when she saw what was written on the paper. Moments later, the contents of the paper were displayed on Magical Screens. Once again, the Devil Faction spectator stand roared in cheers. Rias Gremory and Sairaorg Bael were going to face each other in a Yggdrasil Climb type Rating Game.

Yes, you could win the Game by defeating the King of the opposing Peerage, but this Game was much better than the options for Rias Gremory since Yggdrasil Climb wasn't a combat-centric variant of Rating Game. it was very to fight while climbing the Yggdrasil…

Unlike the other Rating Games, Yggdrasil Climb Game could be only played in a specific setting of the arena. You can't have a custom arena in Yggdrasil Climb. So, Grayfia simply told them to wait in the Game Field or they could return to the waiting room. Both Rias and Sairaorg opted to stay.

Then Grayfia decided to address the crowd since none of the other Factions besides the Devil Faction knew what Yggdrasil Climb was, but it wasn't that hard to deduce since there was born Yggdrasil and Climb in the name of the Game.

"Some of you might have already guessed the objective of the Game, but allow me to clear all of your doubts…" Grayfia announced as she started to explain what Yggdrasil Climb was…
