*👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!*
Rias, who was watching from the side, unconsciously clapped slowly, praising without hesitation, "Excellent. In just half a month, you six were able to kill a mid-class Devil."
Although Kaguya and the others had many cheating elements.
For example, Asuna used the Boosted Gear to enhance their power first, and performed power accumulation for magic. However, don't forget, a month ago these six girls were just ordinary humans, without any abilities whatsoever. Being able to grow this far in just half a month was already extraordinary.
This was inseparable from their own potential and hard work.
"Rias, has our current strength reached the low-class Devil you mentioned?" Asuna stored the Boosted Gear and asked.
The others also looked at Rias full of hope. After all, in everyone's eyes, only with low-class Devil strength had one truly stepped into that very mysterious supernatural realm. The standard for being listed on the Transcendent List was low-class Devil. At the same time, they could also chase after Hikaru's true footsteps.
Rias hesitated a moment, shook her head slightly, and said wisely, "With the buff from Asuna's Boosted Gear, you indeed all have low-class Devil strength. However, if setting that aside and only looking at your own strength, I can only tell you with great regret, there's still distance from low-class Devil."
"...I see."
Kaguya was slightly disappointed.
She originally thought that after they could defeat a mid-class Devil, at least they already had low-class Devil strength...
Rias seemed to see what Kaguya was thinking.
"You must never regard these Stray Devils as true opponents and enemies."
"What do you mean?"
Asuna, Shirayuki Hime, Kuroyukihime... and the others were somewhat confused. The next second, they looked at the Stray Devil on the ground that they had just killed and was still flowing fresh red blood.
What did she mean by don't regard it as a true opponent and enemy?
Rias waved her hand, and dark red Destruction Magic spurted out, destroying the fishy-smelling and bloody Stray Devil corpse, as if shattering it.
"Do you feel that I, who possess Destruction Magic, would be at the same level as this Stray Devil's combat power?"
Kaguya and the others shook their heads.
They had learned about the power of Destruction Magic lately. It originated from the unique magic of the Gremory clan which was the head of the seventy-two Pillar Devil Gods of the Underworld. Reportedly, Rias's mother came from the Gremory clan, and she and her older brother, Devil King Lucifer, were fortunate to inherit this powerful magic.
Moreover, Kaguya and the others were also very clever, and more or less understood what Rias meant.
"Although there are strong people among Stray Devils, like Toujou Kuroka, twenty-third place on the Eternal Beauty List and fifteenth place on the Transcendent List, she is a Stray Devil, and she is a very powerful existence. She not only killed her own master with her own hands, but also killed many pursuers from the Underworld."
"However, Stray Devils like Kuroka are very rare among all Stray Devils. Most Stray Devils are weaker than pure-blooded Devils, Angels... or the like, in combat power at the same level."
"So..."
After Rias's explanation, Kaguya and the others fully understood the awkward position of these Stray Devils. With Rias's Destruction Magic, perhaps at the low-class Devil level, she was already sufficient to kill a Stray Devil with mid-class Devil strength like this.
This was all the difference between individuals and races.
In Rias's eyes, she clearly placed them at the same height and level as god and devil races.
"Today's experience and mission ends here."
After Rias announced the end, when she had just been about to activate the teleportation magic circle to return to the Shinomiya residence, suddenly, her movement stopped. Her jade-green eyes full of high vigilance looked toward the depths of the forest...
"Rias, what's wrong?"
Asuna noticed Rias's strangeness, hurriedly asked.
Rias hesitated a moment, furrowed her brow, extended her jade finger and pointed toward the depths of the forest, saying, "Over there, I sensed the bloodthirsty and chaotic aura of Stray Devils that suddenly appeared... But, now it seems to be continuously disappearing?"
"Disappearing? Could it be there are people here like us annihilating Stray Devils, and more than one?" Kaguya said.
"It should be so. After all, this is Tokyo, the gathering place of most human supernatural forces like the Onmyō Agency, Onmyō Academy, Exorcists Group... It's not strange if there are people exorcising and annihilating Stray Devils."
Rias didn't know why, but she still felt something slightly strange in her heart.
She smelled a slight aura similar to the Underworld in the air, but different from the Underworld, familiar yet foreign.
"How about we go see."
Kuroyukihime, with a bit of curiosity, looked toward the depths of the forest. She had never seen others who possessed supernatural power fighting. Meanwhile, Kaguya and the others clearly didn't want to return this quickly. The Stray Devil earlier had just made them warm up.
In the end, Rias still nodded.
"Go and look. If you find something wrong, immediately destroy this."
Rias handed a crystal to Kaguya. Inside was a flash-type teleportation magic circle installed by Ajuka. If they were in danger, it could make them escape immediately.
After that, Rias walked toward the depths of the forest with her whole body alert.
Kaguya and the others also followed behind.
