Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice

Chapter 268: Chaos in the tournament

"Why? Eiji, I feel like we\'re too relaxed... We underestimated the enemy." Basara said earnestly.

Eiji looked at the protagonist and said lightly, "Basara, you\'re the one who underestimated the girls\' power too much. Now, Mio and the others are no less powerful than you."

"?You\'ll be surprised tomorrow."

[I understand Basara\'s worries about the upcoming match. There was actually a slight change in the plot. The female protagonist is more cunning than I thought. Well, but that doesn\'t matter. In the presence of my \'Future Insight\', even though I\'m only looking roughly, I\'ve calculated what percentage of our victory is.]

Can you say it more clearly?

The heroines are complaining...

Basara widened his eyes, he looked at Eiji who said that Mio and the others were now no less powerful than him with doubt in his eyes. Not that he was underestimating those girls, but his current power had also increased a lot thanks to the serious training he received from his father. ―His father had even told him that he actually had various types of power inside his body, except for the Banishing Shift that he had inherited from his father, there were also other powers that were each sealed.

Basara had already managed to break one seal in his body before he came here, he was also actually very confident.

But

"It\'s not that I\'m underestimating Mio and the others, but... Really?"

"Yes."

Eiji briefly replied, he wanted to go back inside immediately. Tsubaki is probably already awake.

Basara nodded. Eiji thought this boy would finally leave, but he asked again.

"What about the demon named Belphegor? Eiji... I think he hasn\'t given up on getting Mio and the others. So I have an idea―"

"You want to kill him secretly tomorrow when the attention of many demons in Demon Realm is focused on the match?"

"!!!"

Basara looked at Eiji in surprise, "Eiji, how did you know?"

Eiji rolled his eyes. Of course... Compared to Issei\'s protagonist in the original work, Basara\'s protagonist is actually more ruthless. He did not hesitate to do dirty tricks and kill his enemies for the sake of the heroines.

Eiji was the same, he would also do the same.

That\'s why―

"I guessed it. Don\'t worry, he\'ll die tomorrow. Basara, you just need to focus on the match."

"Huh, how?" Basara was confused, he clearly saw that earlier Eiji let Belphegor go even though he could have killed him.

Of course Basara understood that if at that time Eiji really killed the leader of the Demon Council, regardless of the outcome of the match, there would be problems such as how the people in Demon Realm viewed the representatives of the Moderate Faction.

However, what Basara didn\'t know. Eiji had never cared about the things he was worried about.

He didn\'t answer Basara\'s question and just smiled mysteriously.

...

The long-awaited day finally arrived.

The stadium that was bigger than the soccer stadium was still located in Lundvall. All 310,000 spectator seats were filled to capacity ― and actually most of them were just demons living in Lundvall. The majority of those watching the match live were Demon Lord Faction.

Those who didn\'t get a seat or the demons who lived outside of Lundvall could only watch the match through the magic network. This was a device that could display the livestream of the match.

In today\'s special event, Demon Lord Leohart authorized the use of the magic network in his territory. He wanted all the demons in Demon Realm to witness the match that determined the future of Demon Realm.

Still, the person in question was not actually in his waiting room. There was only Balflear who was staring at the five people in front of him seriously. Unlike before, each of them had a blood-red cross-shaped necklace hanging around their necks.

Their auras became stronger, even a petite demon like Luka, one of Leohart\'s most loyal subordinates also looked different from yesterday.

They became like this after receiving the objects the Council gave them.

Ignoring the others because they were people from the Council, Balflear asked Luka.

"Luka, how do you feel? Is there any discomfort in your body?"

The demon youth with a feminine appearance replied. "Nothing. Balflear-san, I feel that my body is many times stronger than before. My magic power has also increased more than tenfold... This necklace is amazing... If possible, I would like to research it."

Luka was actually a researcher, he was definitely not the fighting type. But now? The aura he exuded let Balflear know the young man\'s power had exceeded that of an S-class demon. The other four people were the same.

Balflear took out the red cross necklace from his pocket and wondered should he use it? Yesterday the Council rejected Leohart\'s request to recall his \'Eight Demon Generals\' and they had gotten these things out of nowhere to strengthen their representation.

Stepping onto the stage, one of the Council members, Mardonis addressed everyone through speaker magic.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the battle between the representatives of the Demon Lord faction and the Moderate faction officially begins!"

As the audience cheered and clapped, Mardonis\' old face was also displayed on the giant screen.

As Mardonis explained the rules of the match such as the fight will be one-on-one, there is no time limit in each fight. To keep the audience safe, the space in the arena will be a separate dimension. This is similar to the mechanism of the Rating Game arena in the Underworld and the environment in that dimension can also be arranged into any replica.

"Yep, it\'s similar to the Rating Game arena. I thought only Ajuka could make this, but the demons here actually can too."

Sitting in their waiting room separated from the other faction representatives of course. Rias who was sitting with Eiji and the others said that.

Their room also had a screen showing the livestream. At first glance, they actually looked like people who were having fun watching a movie in a theater.

Several girls\' lips twitched when they heard what Rias said. Especially Sona, but unlike usual, she was too lazy to argue with that girl.

She looked at Eiji who was staring at the livestream lazily.

"Eiji, which one of us will fight first?"

"Hm? Isn\'t that Mio? She\'s already walking towards the arena."

"What about you?"

"Me?" Eiji held his chin with a thoughtful expression before saying. "I\'ll be the last one."

[Instead of that I\'m actually waiting for something else.]

The girls didn\'t know what Eiji was actually waiting for. They focused again on the livestream screen, as the camera finally stopped highlighting the spotty old man\'s face and showed Mio arriving at the arena.

"Is that Wilbert\'s rumored daughter?"

"Their hair color is the same."

"She\'s also very pretty!"

The male audience was excited, Mio ignored the crowd\'s cheers and looked at the short young man standing on the opposite side of her.

The other party was the first representative of the Demon Lord Faction.

"You are Mio Naruse? I am Luka, a follower of His Majesty. I will defeat you."

Unlike in the original work, Luka was more confident after receiving the goods from the Council. His demonic aura exploded and the spectators in the distance could even feel it. Not only that, a magic circle appeared above the arena ― a 30 meter tall giant figure with broad shoulders and a muscular body covered in crimson armor appeared.

From the screen, instead of paying attention to the creature summoned by Luka, Eiji stared at the cross-shaped necklace hanging around Luka\'s neck in amusement.

[So this is what the people from the Demon Council did after I humiliated their leader not long ago? The necklace hanging around Luka\'s neck contains demonic power similar to Bella.]

[The female protagonist is somehow helping these people behind the scenes... Looks like it\'s about time I caught up.]

More precisely, the woman wanted to buy time. Eiji knew where Bella was now because he had told his beautiful subordinates to follow her secretly.

Eiji immediately got up from his chair and told Sona and the other girl that he was going out for a while. The girls didn\'t ask and just said "Hurry back" to him. After all they already knew from his inner voice that he was off to deal with the female protagonist.

"Heroic spirit again..."

Mio stared at the giant that had the same color as her hair flatly. The aura emitted by the other party must have been enough to intimidate her a few days ago. But now it was different, Mio also didn\'t care about the cheating object that Luka used. For her, the outcome of this battle had already been decided.

Looking at Mio who was silent without saying anything, Luka thought Mio was traumatized by the Heroic Spirit because a few days ago many of them attacked Wildart City.

"I know it\'s a bit unfair since you\'re fighting two people, but it\'s not against the rules since this Heroic Spirit has already made a contract with me and is basically my familiar."

"I used all―"

"Alright I see. Can we start the fight right away?"

Mio ignored Luka who was pouting, and seemed to be annoyed that she didn\'t want to listen to his ramblings. She ignored the whispers of the spectators who thought she would lose and glanced at the referee.

The referee immediately struck a gong that echoed throughout the arena and instantly their surroundings turned into a human town square not far from the train station.

Although the Ancient Heroic Spirit that Luka had contracted was already strong, Luka who now possessed abundant demonic power strengthened the giant with his own power. The heroic spirit shone with a terrifying demonic aura all over its body, its large single eye gathering concentrated pink energy ― immediately, the attack shot out at Mio and hit her.

*Boom!*

The people of the Demon Lord Faction and Demon Council who were watching thought this battle was already over in short order.

They were cheering for Luka.

But―

"As I expected. With my current power. This level of attack is unable to hurt me, it doesn\'t even tickle me..."

"!!!"

Not just Luka, but everyone except Eiji and his girls were shocked. Mardonis who was watching with the other Council in the VIP room had an ugly expression on his face.

Ramusas who was watching the livestream from Wildart Castle widened his eyes slightly when he saw that his daughter looked fine. He was relieved and actually surprised that Mio\'s appearance had now changed.

Mio\'s school uniform was replaced with a sexy black dress that was covered with several jet-black iron plates. Her skirt was covered in iron, and both of her hands were also covered in iron gloves. On top of her head, two 6 cm tall black horns with reddish tips grew.

Along with her crimson aura which now also had crimson flames in it ― the entire space in that dimension was shaking, except for her, the temperature there was rising to an alarming level and the gravity there was becoming extremely heavy.

Luka was unable to even stand up, he and his Heroic Spirit were kneeling on the ground!

"Mio is showing off..." Rias.

"She\'s really doing it, right?" Sona.

"Well... She slapped those people in the face." Said Tsubaki whose face was brighter after exercising a lot with Eiji yesterday.

"Wow~! Mio-sama in that form is so cool! So hot―Hyaa!... Kurumi-san, why are you punching my head?!" Maria held her head and looked at Kurumi in disbelief.

Kurumi snorted.

"Loli Ero-Succubus, watch your mouth, you\'re littering the chair with your drool."

"....."

Basara who was watching Mio from the screen looked at the girl\'s figure with a surprised look. Eiji wasn\'t lying, just looking at the aura and fire burning in the space around Mio right now. Basara knew just like him, Mio\'s strength had also increased greatly.

He glanced at Yuki and the others and wondered if they were too?

...

The city within a one kilometer radius was scorched. The fierce red flames burned and crushed everything around the area that Mio passed through which had now activated her full form. This was Wilbert\'s legacy and her own power that had been raised 100% after she drank the Potion of Ascension a few days ago.

She had not actually moved, or taken the initiative to attack. All the scenes of destruction around him were purely due to the release of the power that many in the Demon Realm had been eyeing.

Looking at the Heroic Spirit who was burnt to a crisp, but insisted on continuing to recover himself and the feminine youth who was supporting the giant with his magic power.

"You two are dying. Don\'t you want to give up?"

Although her appearance now looked sexy and evil, Mio was still Mio. Her pink eyes looked at Luka who was trying to hold back the surrounding temperature with the magic that enveloped him normally.

"No way! I... I will not disappoint Your Majesty. I will fight to the end!"

Luka ordered the Heroic Spirit to attack Mio ― with its huge body that continued to be devoured by flames and regenerated simultaneously. The giant ran towards Mio with earth-shaking strides and huge fists shrouded in magic power.

"So that\'s your answer. Then don\'t blame me for what happens next because it will be too much..."

Mio stared at the giant fist that was about to hit her calmly, she stretched out one hand and just then―

*!!!*

The Heroic Spirit\'s body as well as Luka and everything in front of her palm were swallowed up by the crimson light. There was a cracking sound as it happened and shortly afterward a shattering sound. Many spectators were horrified as the attack actually shattered a separate dimension as well!

Fortunately, Mio immediately shifted her hand upwards. Otherwise, not the sky above the arena that now had the effect of being burned and colored with crimson light but those sitting in the audience seats ― especially Mardonis and the other Demon Council members who were in the VIP room aligned with Mio\'s palm would have been wiped out!

"..."

Cold sweat ran down Mardonis\' back. Actually a few minutes ago after seeing Mio\'s beautiful appearance and the power she displayed, he was greedy for the girl and still thought that he could make his daughter Wilbert the Demon Council\'s toy.

Mardonis\' confidence was not without reason. Although their leader, Belphegor, had just been defeated by Eiji yesterday which made them anxious.

But shortly after that a mysterious person offered them items such as a cross necklace that could strengthen them. Mardonis and the others were certainly suspicious, but somehow they trusted the mysterious person and used the items she gave them.

But the result? Luka and his Heroic Spirit that could be classified as S-class combat power were easily defeated by Mio!

"Mardonis! This is bad, Mio Naruse\'s power is more dangerous than we thought!"

"Right Mardonis, if this is the case... Forget if the representatives we sent won. I\'m sure they\'re not as strong as that girl and there\'s still a boy who can defeat Belphegor-dono!"

"Even if we win, we can\'t get the girl because she\'s too strong unless..."

Mardonis was dizzy from hearing the other Council\'s ramblings.

"Wait a minute, before we decide to use that. Is Belphegor-dono still out of contact?"

It was actually not that Belphegor could not come here because he was too lazy and preferred to have fun in his \'Flower Garden\' with his two dicks. Their leader was actually out of contact.

"Through the magic network, I cannot contact him."

"Me too... Maybe he\'s busy exercising in his garden."

"Yes, Belphegor-dono is definitely having fun right now."

Mardonis frowned. Then he remembered something.

"I haven\'t seen Leohart since the match started. He can\'t be contacted either."

"This is strange, something is wrong with this situation."

When Mardonis and the other Council members were suspicious about the bad things that might be happening behind them.

The alarm sound connected to the Demon Council headquarters\' basement defense mechanism suddenly sounded from their pockets which actually contained a cellphone-like device.

Looking at the notification on the device, Mardonis and the others had ugly expressions.

"Damn! That bitch...how dare she escape!"

"We haven\'t even tasted her yet!"

"But how could she? There\'s no way she could destroy that room. Not unless someone might have infiltrated."

"Is it Leohart? That puppet dares to play tricks with the Demon Council!"

Mardonis and the others panicked. Actually they were at a loss for what to do because on one side there was Mio and the ongoing tournament.

Other side there was Laila, their beautiful doll that even Belphegor had been craving for fun had actually escaped from her cage!

However, Mardonis had already decided. He would directly use one of the Demon Council\'s trump cards!

He would release the Demon God, Chaos into the arena and order the creature to kill everyone including Mio who posed a threat to their future rule!

If it can\'t have it, better destroy it and they will capture Laila while waiting―

"Uwaah these old people are disgusting... They can still think with their dicks in this situation."

"I agree with you, kill them all quickly and finish the task given by Eiji-sama."

"Let me do it."

"Sure, you\'re actually enough yourself."

"Zeta, do it quickly."

Hearing those feminine voices.

Mardonis who wanted to press the button and the other council froze.

At this moment, they only realized the presence of three beautiful girls in black suits standing not far behind them.

But it was too late, under the gaze of Alpha and Epilson. Zeta created two black machetes from her slime suit and a brutal scene quickly unfolded in the room.

Mardonis and the other council members who were actually stronger than Zolgear did not even have time to scream.

Before they knew it, their heads were already flying and falling to the floor.
