16 Rias' New Rook
Ultear walked through the forest carefully. She was looking at her orb which was connected to other orbs who were exploring the area, looking for her opponents.
Rias had advised her to be careful as it was highly likely that either Riser or Ravel will come. Riser, unsurprisingly, was the strongest of his peerage while Ravel was a genius.
~Shrr
Ultear stopped and took a defensive stance as there was some movement in the bushes.
"Oh, only one?"
Ravel asked as she revealed herself with a smirk.
"More than enough for you!"
Ultear shot her teal orbs towards Ravel who created a protective shield around her.
"Now!"
Ravel said.
~Brrrrrrrrr
While Ultear was focused on Ravel, Ile and Nel jumped on her out of nowhere with flaming chainsaws in their hands.
"What?"
Ultear was caught off guard. It would be hard to defend when she shot most of her orbs towards Ravel but help came.
A nail flew towards Ile's leg at fast speed. The nail was connected with a chain that was held by the hooded figure standing on the branch.
~Preccce
"Aaaaaaaaa..."
Once the nail pierced, Ile's leg, the figure jumped from the branch, pulling Ile through the chain.
And once the hooded figure landed on the ground, she shot another chain nail towards Ile who was hanging from the branch, piercing her gut.
"Arghh..."
Blood came from her mouth as the nail pierced her stomach.
"Ile, Riser's pawn is eliminated!"
Grayfia announced.
Meanwhile, Ultear easily defended herself from Nel's chainsaw using one of her orbs and engaged with her as Nel started attacking her when she stepped on the ground.
"Who is she?"
Ravel asked with a frown on her face. Her strategy of landing one fatal blow on Ultear had failed because of the hooded figure.
That question was on everyone's tongue as they wanted to know who was the one with such a cool entry. Even Sona, Akeno, and Venelana weren't aware of the person's identity.
The person in the question, removed the hood, revealing themselves to everyone.
The revealed figure was of a tall, young, and beautiful woman. Her long violet hair that reached to her feet was enchanting and her slim voluptuous body was mesmerizing.
She wore a black dress and black thigh high heels that showed her amazing thighs and shoulders.
Her eyes were covered by a violet object that blocked her vision.
"Medusa!"
Jay commented as he leaned back on his couch.
"Medusa? You don't mean the one from Greek Mythology?"
Venelana asked curiously.
Jay nodded with a yes in response, giving everyone a shock.
"She was able to summon her from the FATE system!"
Boa Hancock stated. As the headmaster, she was aware of it.
"This makes her only one among "Four Young Kings" who tried their hands on FATE system to summon a heroic spirit and had succeeded."
Lady Phenex stated while biting her nail.
Four Young Kings was the title that was given to the four young Devils who are famous for having strong peerages despite being young devils, which are comparable to mature Rating Game players.
Rias Gremory and Sona Sitri were two of the Four Young Kings.
"Oh my, she's so amazing!"
Shachi laughed with happiness.
Meanwhile, the battle had proceeded.
After the loss of a pawn, Ravel didn't waste the time and called out the knights.
Ultear created a magical sword to fight the knights and the pawn with snow.
Medusa too helped her in engaging the opponents.
It soon turned into a two versus four with Ravel supporting the knights and pawns by casting defensive shields for them and shooting fireballs at them.
This situation turned unfavorable for Rias' team as they weren't able to put any decent blow.
"Medusa, take out Ravel!"
Ultear whispered in her ears as they were standing close to each other, their backs touching.
Medusa nodded and leaped towards Ravel but was Siris.
"Tch..."
Even Ultear's orb attack was stopped by her.
Seeing no way out, Medusa removed the object from her eyes.
She opened her eyes and shot an intense gaze into Ravel's eyes.
"Wha-"
Ravel couldn't think what happened to her as her body stopped moving. Slowly by slowly, her body turned to stone leaving her immobilized.
"Ravel Phenex has been eliminated!"
Grayfia announced.
"Mystic Eyes Of Petrification! In the myths, Medusa had the power to turn people into stones by looking in their eyes!"
Jay explained.
"You have the same power right, Miss Hancock?
He asked Boa Hancock.
"A similar power!"
Boa Hancock replied while nodding.
"Nel has been eliminated!"
Grayfia announced once again as just after Ravel was defeated, Ultear attacked Nel and made her unconscious leaving only Siris and Karlamine in the arena.
"Ice Make: Rosen Krone!"
Ultear screamed as she created giant roses and spiked branches, made out of ice, that surrounded the knights and attacked them with thorns.
"Siris and Karlamine have been eliminated! Lady Rias won the round!"
Grayfia announced as the audience cheered loudly while Ultear and Medusa walked to Rias' room. Medusa wore covered her eyes once again with the previous object.
As they entered the room, Rias ran towards them and hugged them by wrapping each arm around their necks.
"Ultear! Medusa! You did well. Thank you!"
Rias said with an emotional tone.
Medusa smiled softly while Ultear patted Rias' back.
"Anything to keep you away from that pervert, Rias!"
Ultear said with a light giggle as they broke the hug. Rias too laughed in response, lightening the mood of the room.
"Will you now go back, Medusa?"
Rias asked Medusa with a sad face.
After Medusa was summoned, she wasn't willing to keen on being a rook of Rias but after hearing her problem, she decided to help her for the time being. Now she had helped her, she was free to go back to the throne of heroes, a place existing outside of both the World and the time axis where heroic spirits reside.
"Do you want me to go so soon? Since I'm here why not stay here for some time."
Medusa said with a smirk as she walked towards the seat and sat down.
Rias smiled at her as she was greatly pleased that she will stay for some time more. She began rolling the dice for the next round.
~Roll
Rias looked at her dice which showed six dots.
"Rias and Riser both had rolled six. It's a total of twelve points!"
Grayfia announced.
"Rias, Riser, and his two pawns will come, they are the only ones remaining!"
Ultear said.
"Let me and Ultear go. Even if we got defeated, it will wear him out."
Yoruichi suggested.
"No. I'll go on my own. You have done enough, now defeating Riser is my responsibility."
Rias announced with determination.

- What do you guys think about Medusa as Rias' rook? Any advice on queen(only from FGO like Morgan, Jeanne(Alter), etc.), though a DxD character is already in my mind.
