Becoming a Shadow in the New World

"Are you really not understanding?"

"Is it possible that you're just making things up? What does it matter who you are or what it means for you to be here with me instead of fighting? Or do you have a grudge against your brother and are deliberately setting him up?"

"Of course there's a connection here, and that connection is... is..."

Levi'er wanted to continue speaking, but she suddenly stopped halfway through and couldn't get to the point.

This attitude seemed familiar to Sid. It happened when the offspring of high-ranking officials took the privileges they received because of their family background for granted, because they never considered how they got those privileges in the first place.

Levi's situation is probably because she doesn't like fighting and has been spoiled by her family, so she directly asked her brother Lessa not to participate in the battle and just watch the show.

Surprisingly, Lysa agreed and asked the organizers of the ranking game for a waiver.

"I think I understand, your brother treats you very well."

Sid nodded and sighed sincerely, but Rachel didn't think so.

After being pointed out by Sid, Raville realized how untenable her so-called reason for refusing to fight was. She felt ashamed and embarrassed, especially since it was pointed out by the person she originally thought she was guiding.

Under the influence of this emotion, Sid's heartfelt exclamation was interpreted as mockery in her ears, mocking her as a spoiled young lady who acted recklessly because of her family's pampering. This immediately made her, who was proud, explode.

"Yes, I am an arrogant and domineering young lady, but what about you? What is your reason for not fighting? Don't tell me you have a physical problem. You are very healthy, I can feel it."

"...Didn't you realize I'm not a demon?"

"?"

Shocked by Sid's words, Levi blinked, carefully examined Sid, and after confirming that she could not find any demonic aura on him, she said in surprise.

You are not a demon!!!

How did you get in?

“I am Rias’s familiar.”

"???"

Seeing the question mark on Ravelle's face, Sid thought for a moment and then explained it to her.

It was during this explanation process that, through the disappearance of Kiba Yuuto and Himejima Akeno's auras on the magic radar, Sid learned that Kiba Yuuto and Himejima Akeno had been eliminated.

Ah... now only my sister and Rias are left on the field. It looks like Rias is not far from losing. The match should be over soon...

The game is almost over, Cao Cao, why haven't you arrived yet? Are you really chickening out?

Forget it, it's better to rely on yourself than others. I'll have to step up when it matters.

"Ravia, do you know where the nearest toilet is?"

After explaining to Ravia, Sid blurted out a sentence that made Ravia look at him with a strange expression.

She had just felt a little sympathy for Sid because she knew about his special constitution, since it was really sad that he couldn't participate in the battle for this reason. Then Sid pulled this stunt on her.

Don't you know this is a crucial moment in your master's battle against my brother? How can you be in the mood to go to the toilet?

"Turn right after you leave the house."

With mixed feelings, I still pointed Sid in the right direction.

"Thanks."

After thanking him, Sid walked out the door, preparing to transform into Shadow.

Look where my sister is now... The distance between my sister and me is ten meters, nine meters, eight meters...!!!

"boom!"

A figure crashed through the wall, passed in front of Sid, and slammed to the ground with a loud thud, kicking up plumes of white smoke.

"Sid?"

In the smoke, Claire planted her sword in the ground, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, and stood up to look at Sid.

"After I kill you, Rias should give up and admit defeat on her own."

You're really going too far. I shouldn't have said I wanted Rias to admit defeat; now I have to beat you up.

Flaming wings sprouted from Raiza's back as he flew out of the hole Claire had smashed open. Blood was flowing from his arm. Following the direction Raiza had come from, Cid could see Rias lying on the ground, still conscious but unable to fight. Raiza's other familiars were gathered around Rias.

"How come Rias still has one of her familiars left to take care of?"

Leisa saw Sid standing to the side and wondered how Sid had survived until now.

"Um...I am..."

"Forget it, now that we've found out, let's just take them out. They're so weak anyway."

Sid tried to take out the truce token, but found that it was left in the room he had just left.

He tried to verbally explain his status as a patient, but Lysa was too lazy to listen and threw a ball of blazing fire at Sid.

As he watched the ball of flame hurtling toward him, Sid thought of many things in that instant.

A major crisis for the extra's identity!!!

The flame wasn't very powerful, at least not to Sid; it was the kind of flame that couldn't even break through his defenses.

The question is, how can he fake being seriously injured?

The world cannot be used; using it will only stop time in this small space of the venue. The audience outside the venue will not be affected, as there is a void space between them that cannot be extended. The void is truly nothing.

Even super-fast body movement won't work; there are too many strong people in the audience, and someone might spot you.

Dodge? No, that's too fast. How can someone with B- level strength dodge that?

It seems there's only one way.

"puff!!!"

The flames thrown by Lessa slammed into the ground, and from the impact, Sid coughed up a mouthful of blood. Parts of his body were charred black, and white mist rose from his body.

Because of the high-speed surge of magic, coupled with the special adjustment of the magic color and a certain angle of deviation, the light emitted by the magic through the body produces an effect similar to that of an LED light.

"Didn't kill it?"

Seeing that Sid had not been eliminated and teleported away due to the venue's protection mechanism, Lessa frowned.

But he didn't think much of it, assuming that the damage from that attack was too low and didn't meet the venue's standard for serious injury. Just like Rias, who had clearly been defeated, but because her injuries weren't severe enough and she stubbornly refused to surrender, the match continued.

A flame rose in his hand again. This time, Leiza was serious. Since Rias had placed his hopes of victory on her familiars, he would eliminate all of Rias's familiars before finally eliminating Rias herself.

"call!"

A black magic bullet shot out from the front, shattering Lysa's flaming arm.

"what!"

A scream of pain escaped Leisa, who quickly turned her head to see the source of the attack.

"You...how dare you hurt Sid!!!"

Chapter 103 Claire's Fury

As things changed on the field, the group of strong players sitting at the highest point finally made a move, or in simpler terms, they finally focused their attention on the competition.

How boring. Did I lose my mind to agree to come here with the publicity department?

Sid was right; most of the invited guests at this conference shared his idea.

To be fair, although Rias was dominated by Raiza in this match, there were still many exciting moments.

Judging from the reactions of the audience, this was a very good match.

The question is, who are they?

A bunch of top-50 powerhouses in the world, it's better to spare them the pleasure of watching this kind of weakling fight.

They didn't care about engagements or anything like that. They were somewhat interested in gossip, but that interest wasn't enough to bring them here.

The title of "strongest among the younger generation of demons in the underworld" might have attracted them here, but that title is fake. If "strongest among the younger generation of demons in the underworld" really meant this much strength, they would be laughing their heads off.

It's fair to say that because they were inexplicably driven mad by the Underworld's propaganda department, forcing them to come and watch this amateurish match that wasted a lot of their time, many have already decided to cause trouble for the demons when they get back.

Now, with the changes on the field, a few people are finally paying attention to the game.

"Interesting. It's a similar power, but unlike the weak so-called Kingdom Knights of World Three, this power is much stronger and more omnipotent. If this power grows to its complete form, it should be no weaker than me."

It seems the appearance of the Shadow was no accident. World Three is not as weak as it appears; it definitely holds a lot of secrets.

Asahiel became excited as he watched the scene below, and even took out a piece of paper to write down everything that was about to happen.

Seeing his friend like this, Ajaka smiled helplessly. He knew that his friend's research desire had been aroused and he wanted to say something, but he paused and looked to the side.

Like Ajaka, the other three demons also turned their gazes to the side, and the object of their stares was a man wearing a crown and a priest's robe, holding a skull in his hand.

"Is Mr. Hades already planning to leave? The match is only just getting exciting."

Faced with this god of the underworld, it was Sazex, the leader whom the four had tacitly agreed to, who spoke up.

"No, this kind of competition is really boring. It's much more comfortable to go back to my underworld."

Although it didn't utter a sound, its eerie voice seemed to emanate from all around.

"Then let's hope that old man Hades can return to the Underworld as soon as possible and that nothing unexpected happens on the way."

"Can I take this as a threat, bat?"
