Rias doesn't like being called a coward, especially since she was a princess and the sister of a satan.
So being called coward triggered her fury, so she gave a glare to Akeno who just sneered at her as if she wasn't a threat to her.
'I'll show you.' Rias decided that she'll face this arrogant sorcerer alone, so she can show her, her place.
Meanwhile, Sona just frowns a being called a coward by the other party, although she also doesn't like being called a coward, unlike Rias, it doesn't make her mad or anything.
Meanwhile, Sairaorg just doesn't care, ever since he was born without the clan's inherited bloodline, he was shunned by everyone, leaving only his mother who truly cares for him, unfortunately, a disaster struck, and an unknown disease caught up to her, making her bedridden for eternity.
No cure has ever been found even to this day, though there is still hope that the Sorcerer Supreme could cure her, but he wasn't some big shot that could meet him directly.
Shaking his head out of these thoughts, Sairaorg wanted to fight already. Although he was a bit disappointed that Duy passed out and he can't fight him anymore. But there is still Shang-Chi who could cure his thirst for a battle.
Meanwhile, Shang-Chi felt Sairaorg's gaze on him and saw that he was another guy like Vasco.
'Geez~ another one?' Shang-Chi sighed in annoyance.
He turns his head to Akeno before saying, "So, the same way?"
Akeno nodded before pointing towards Rias, "I'll take the spoiled princess.", Shang-Chi nodded.
One of Akeno's hates is those who rely on their bloodline to climb the top. She's an advocate of Hard work beats talent.
So seeing the spoiled princess who does nothing to increase her strength or something, instead, she relies on her bloodline ability, Destruction energy, and the status of her brother as a satan.
"Then I'll take him." Shang-Chi points toward Sairaorg.
"Then, Leslie, take that girl." Akeno said while pointing to Sona before continuing, "Gasper, just stay back and watch out for Duy."
Leslie nodded at her, while Gasper was fine with this since he also wanted to rest.
Of course, the devils heard this. Rias was angered by Akeno's words, while Sona just frowns but still accepted to fight her opponent. She just hopes that Leslie is already exhausted, so this'll be an easy fight.
Meanwhile, Sairaorg grins when he heard Shang-Chi. He's been wanting to fight someone who also practices martial arts.
Because all the devils were arrogant, they ignored the martial arts that humans created. Not knowing the potential it holds.
But Sairaorg was different, he knows its potential, so that's why he dedicated himself to mastering all forms of martial arts, at the same time, he also activates his Touki.
Combined with the devil body, deadly martial arts, and last but not the least, Touki. Sairaorg is a deadly opponent for everyone.
Even Shang-Chi felt danger emanating from him, so he had to be careful when fighting him.
Soon, Akeno was the first to move away while gesturing for Rias to follow her, which she did.
The same happened to Shang-Chi/Sairaorg, and Sona/Leslie, while Gasper just stayed with Duy.
Soon, both groups were finally separated while having their own opponent.
-Akeno and Rias-
"I'll make you regret looking down on me!" She pointed her finger towards Akeno while angrily speaking.
"Then, please entertain me." Akeno bowed and said, mocking her which increases Rias's anger.
And since she was angry, Rias was the first one to attack, by launching several balls of destruction at her.
Maybe because her aim was bad, but Akeno easily dodged all her attacks and countered with her own.
One of the basics she learned in Eldritch Magic, was the Tao Mandalas. It can be used for both defending and attacking.

Casting the Tao Mandalas, Akeno rushed up towards Rias, intending to finish her as fast as she can.
She's not gonna use her lightning magic in this battle since she wanted to practice in Eldritch Magic, because she noticed how she was relying too much on her lightning talent.
Sorcerers are meant to be an all-rounder. They can defend, attack, and can even turn the tides of battle if they're a master.
If Akeno were to rely on lightning magic too much, then what if she encounters someone who excels at wind magic?
According to the teachings of her master, water is weak against earth but strong against fire. Fire is weak against water and strong against wind, which is strong against lightning.
Back to the battle.
Rias was already ready when she saw Akeno quickly running up to her. So she went to defend herself.
Casting another ball of destruction, she willed it to fly towards Akeno, but Akeno easily dodged this, much to Rias's annoyance, so she tries to cast another ball of destruction.
Soon, Akeno catched up to her, and her Tao Mandalas were already changed to an eldritch whip.
*sizzle*
She used the whip to slap Rias's wrist, which stops her for a second, but a second is all that Akeno needed to defeat her.
Flashing behind her, she used the whip to choke her from behind.
"Gaakhh!" Rias tries to break free, but because she relies too much on her destruction magic, she neglected her physical strength.
But to Akeno's surprise, Rias suddenly glowed in purple destruction magic, before exploding.
Akeno immediately backed away, just in time for her to avoid getting disintegrated.
The surroundings of Rias were turned into ashes, including the ground.
Meanwhile, Rias just used half of her magic capacity, so she was exhausted right now.
Akeno sees this as her chance to finish her quickly. So with a dash, she quickly arrived behind Rias, and before she can react, Akeno chopped the back of her neck, knocking her out.
After Akeno knocks Rias out. Her brother seems to be proud that his sister could reach this far in the event.
If it was the previous Rias, then she'll never be able to make it this far. So Sirzechs was thankful that he forced her to train.
Meanwhile, Serafall was cheering for her sister, even though she can't hear her.
"You can do this, Sona-tann~!" She waved her hands in the air, while cutely cheering her.
Back on the battlefield, Sona seems to be having a hard time-fighting Leslie. Not only her opponent excels in range combat, but she's also a master at close combat.
So Sona was forced to think of various plans in her mind, trying to find a way to defeat her.
'Fighting her in close combat is out of the question, while the ranged combat is possible but she's a sharpshooter in her rifle, so ranged combat is crossed. I could only gamble which one of us, become exhausted first.' Sona mused in her mind.
Meanwhile, Leslie was having a good time, using Sona as her practice dummy, for mastering her marksmanship.
