Rias: "@Jibril, did you find that dragon?"
"Not yet..."
Jibril: "Hmm... sorting out the system will have to wait a bit longer."
"?"
Rias asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"
"Recovering from injuries."
Jibril said: "Because Azril looked down on me, I couldn't help but teach her a little lesson."
It still happened after all.
Rias was somewhat surprised.
Jibril is an imperfect individual among the Flugel, and also the most unpredictable one.
She often manages to achieve feats far exceeding her own strength, and Artosh also has high expectations for her.
In the original work "No Game No Life," because Jibril challenged a Dragon-kin, Azril thought she was seeking death and unintentionally provoked Jibril.
Feeling insulted in her heart, the extremely spirited Jibril immediately wanted to challenge her.
Just as Azril wanted to avoid the fight, she was stopped by Artosh and ordered to face the challenge.
The final result was naturally Jibril's victory; she survived Azril's killing blow and pierced through Azril's chest.
As Artosh's first creation and the one he poured the most power into, Azril's spirit power is more than four times that of Jibril's.
Additionally, Azril has a unique skill that seals space, which is completely capable of killing an ordinary Flugel member.
In the original work, Jibril delayed the explosion of her Heavenly Strike by a few microseconds, thereby escaping Azril's killing blow and achieving victory.
So what is the situation now?
"Can you tell me the specifics?"
Rias asked curiously.
"That idiot Azril was unexpectedly resourceful; she used a Black Box that seals space, trying to transfer the Heavenly Strike inside the box to maximize its power."
Jibril: "But unfortunately, that kind of thing is more than enough to deal with fellow race members, but in the end, it was directly cut open by me."
Because Jibril wanted to obtain a thinner, sharper weapon to cut through the scales and skin of the Dragon-kin, she achieved this Shikai.
Of course, this naturally involved Rias's manipulation, bestowing the corresponding name upon the 'Zanpakutō.'
And Azril's Black Box is unnecessary for 'creatures' ranked below them and completely useless against lives ranked above them.
Whether it's the Giant Species, Dragon-kin, Phantasmal Race, or God Species, none of these are existences that Azril's Black Box can seal.
Therefore, Azril's move is entirely an execution technique for fellow race members!
However, since it is a weapon meant to cut through Dragon-kin scales, it is only natural that Azril's Black Box was cut open.
"Although I escaped that idiot's killing blow and defeated her afterward, I still got a little injured."
Jibril: "Of course, it was mostly due to excessive consumption; even in the Magic Formula room, it will take about a year to recover."
Jibril: "Hmm, just thinking about not being able to move for over a year makes me feel so bored; I can only come here and chat in the group~"
The Flugel is considered the most perfect artificial life; each Flugel member possesses strength at the Dragon King level, with some individuals even having Heavenly Dragon-level strength, equivalent to the Transcendents level in "High School DxD."
Of course, this does not mean there are Transcendents among the Flugel; if a Transcendent were to appear among the Flugel, reaching the Dragon God Level would be inevitable.
Rather, it is a comparison with the Transcendents of the High School DxD world.
Although the Flugel is strong, they also have a not insignificant weakness.
That is their strongest move, the Heavenly Strike.
The Heavenly Strike is an extremely violent move, both for oneself and for others.
After releasing the Heavenly Strike, because one forcibly exhausts their own spirit power, the user is forcibly shrunk to maintain their existence.
Although Jibril, as a young girl, still possesses strength comparable to a Ultimate-class Devil, natural recovery would take at least over a decade.
Even in the Magic Formula room that supplies the Flugel, it would take two to three years to recover.
Judging by Jibril's appearance, she actually had strength to spare after defeating Azril.
"I see."
Rias Gremory: "The Zanpakutō forcibly elevates the sharpness of the blade by several levels, easily cutting through the Flugel's defensive Magic Formulas. This way, even when facing Azril, whose spirit power far exceeds her own, as long as she puts effort into tactics, she can still stand on equal footing and compete."
"Exactly!"
In the Magic Formula room, deliberately separating herself from Azril, the adorable Jibril flapped her small wings, fluttering excitedly, her face filled with excitement.
Although she is idle now, this period is perfect for conducting experiments, striving to further transform herself.
Currently, Jibril is only compiling defensive Magic Formulas, but to truly advance further, she needs to hear Rias's opinion.
The stronger one is, the harder it is to break through one's limits because the Flugel's limits are set right there.
Let alone surpassing limits; under normal circumstances, Jibril couldn't even surpass Azril.
Therefore, surpassing limits has never been an empty phrase!
Only an all-around person like Rias can help her!
Jibril: "Little Rias, if I want to advance further, do you have any suggestions or ideas?"
"Hmm, if we're talking solely about the Flugel, it's very difficult because the Flugel's Magic Formulas are too perfect, leaving no room for intervention."
Rias: "In terms of offense, you have the Zanpakutō; as long as you integrate it into your own Magic Formulas, you can advance further."
"The same goes for defense; you can create a similar shield, aiming to block dragon roars. How about that?"
"Finally, in terms of recovery, this is a weakness of the Flugel and needs to be addressed. The fastest method is to emulate the Phantasmal Race."
Jibril: "I see, setting up an independent Spirit Corridor, surpassing the Flugel."
Jibril gained a sudden realization in her heart.
Every Phantasmal Race possesses powerful strength and has an independent Spirit Corridor.
In other words, each Phantasmal Race is a perpetual motion machine.
Moreover, the interior of a Phantasmal Race has laws completely different from the outside world; each Phantasmal Race is equivalent to an independent Other World.
It's just that many Phantasmal Race are eliminated before they can grow to that extent.
Many Phantasmal Race possess a core; like Artosh's mount, Avant Heim, its core is fused with Azril.
In other words, Azril + Avant Heim represents her full power.
"But I don't have the ability to analyze a Phantasmal Race at all."
Jibril was somewhat frustrated.
Capturing a Phantasmal Race is an extremely difficult task.
And wanting to analyze the composition of a Phantasmal Race and apply it to oneself is equivalent to creating an artificial Other World and an artificial perpetual motion machine.
Achieving this is more difficult than imagined!
