At the end of her words, Rias watched Micael quickly advance towards Koneko without uttering any words.
With quick steps in a boxing pose, Micael reached the girl without asking if she was ready or not.
Then, getting close enough, his arm moved with a sound through the swing, heading straight for her face.
From an outside, ignorant point of view, it would appear that a young brute was attacking a small, fragile young woman like a mindless animal, but the reality was quite different from what this moment portrayed.
For proof in the next second, Micael watched in silent observation as Koneko almost languidly moved her hand in front of her face and intercepted the punch with her palm.
Thud
With a muffled thud, Micael observed that even with all his strength, all his speed, he was easily blocked, however, this did not surprise him.
Then, without uttering any sound or word, he continued the attack.
Removing his arm from the punch, he executed a left cross in quick succession.
But, unsurprisingly, he saw the girl moving the same hand, intending to block the punch.
But this left cross, despite appearing to have full force, was just a feint.
With his fist slamming into her palm with practically no force, he instantly executed a direct kick aimed at her stomach.
But even though it seemed to catch her by surprise, as it was hard to tell with her neutral face, the girl easily dodged it by taking a step back and effortlessly avoiding the kick with minimal distance, his toes literally hitting a few strands of her hair.
But once again expecting this, Micael continued the attack, a rotational kick with the other leg.
But just like a moment ago, she dodged again, taking another large step back, the tip of his toe brushing against her clothes.
But even though it seemed to catch her by surprise, as it was hard to tell with her neutral face, the girl easily dodged it by taking a step back and effortlessly avoiding the kick with minimal distance, his toes literally hitting a few strands of her hair.
With her dodges demonstrating the girl's clear physical superiority, Micael was not shaken, on the contrary, after missing the second kick, he continued to attack relentlessly.
Following the attack with another kick, then switching to a punch, following with another and then moving on to elbow and knee attacks, he attacked in different forms of different martial arts.
This continued for a moment, with him attacking continuously, his movements accompanied by the occasional sound of his limbs moving through the air or his rapid exhalation through his nose with each attack.
And this too continued for a whole minute, with him attacking and her effortlessly dodging, this scene demonstrating how resilient Micael was, but also making it clear that if he continued attacking like this it would be useless, but he wouldn't need to change his strategy, because the girl had finally stopped dodging.
After another unsuccessful attack, Micael immediately followed up with a punch, but this time instead of dodging, she blocked the punch, deflecting it to the side, leaving Micael exposed to a counterattack.
Already expecting something like this to happen at some point, but also with his punch having been thrown with full force, he just anticipated her attack, purposefully guiding it to hit his stomach.
Consciously without using his eyes, he just waited for her attack, already moving his other arm to block the attack and mitigate the damage.
Koneko, realizing what he had done thanks to the movement of his arm, narrowed her eyes, but still continued the counterattack, aiming exactly where he wanted her to hit and where she intended to hit.
Then, with her right arm drawn back in preparation, she soon punched him straight in the stomach, uttering in a low tone.
"Hey."
Thud!—
Accompanied by a dull thud, the girl's small fist hit Micael's forearm, which was on his belly in protection.
Feeling the ridiculous strength behind that small fist, Micael was speechless, even though he had already expected this nonsense.
And this realization became even more absurd due to the fact that she was not using all her strength, because if she did, he would certainly already be dead.
With the impact of the punch affecting him, Mical felt his body being pushed back, taking advantage of this he pushed himself back taking several steps, moving away from Koneko.
With his bare feet touching the grass and crushing it beneath him, Micael slowly took a deep breath as he looked at Koneko.
The girl remained where she was, her body still in punching pose for a moment before straightening up, standing still and looking at him, calmly blinking her eyes.
Looking at the still neutral-faced girl for a moment, he moved his gaze to his left forearm, turning around and seeing the red stain that was now there.
Opening and closing his hand, he felt the dull pain that was now present in his forearm, he thought in his mind as he felt it.
'I think she's stronger than Baki... and not by a small margin I think, he can win because he has more technique and experience, but even that is doubtful, besides if she used touki... Baki wouldn't stand a chance.'
'It's bizarre that if you think that a girl like this, who is barely five feet tall, has the strength to completely crush one of the most revered characters like a "Chad".'
Reflecting to himself on the discrepancy of this image, he also thought that, even though DxD is a world focused on things of a sexual nature, the level of power in this universe is quite absurd, it is almost a Fate verse in a discounted version, of course, without that whole alternate reality thing and all that other crazy stuff.
Returning his mind to focus, he braced himself again, this time just leaning forward slightly with his arms perpendicular to his body.
Looking at the silent girl with a calm face, Micael slowly took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, and then, taking a step forward, attacked again.
However, unlike before, when his body arrived a short distance away, his body abruptly shot forward at high speed, as if an invisible force was pulling or pushing him from behind, but if one paid attention, they would hear a noise that It resembled a gust of wind.
With his body moving at high speed through the air, Micael didn't take long to execute a kick as soon as he reached Koneko.
Shoosh—
Accompanied by the sound of his kick cutting through the air, he unsurprisingly passed over Koneko, whose body moved to the right as she dodged.
And with that, his body continued moving at high speed through the air, but instead of continuing he stopped abruptly, as if the same force that was pushing him had stopped him.
And with that, his body, which was still in the air, rapidly rotated as he performed a spinning heel kick without any support, his movement accompanied by a strong sound of wind.
And to those watching, they could see what appeared to be a literal gust of wind pushing against his foot, increasing his speed and being the force that helped him execute the kick.
With his kick at high speed, he attacked once again aiming for Koneko's head.
But just like before, the girl dodged, the upper part of her body leaning back.
Shoosh—
With his kick once again making noise as it cut through the wind, his heel only missed the girl's head by a few inches as she dodged.
And with this failed kick, Micael found himself once again exposed to a counterattack, he soon saw that the girl, after successfully dodging it, was already preparing to punch him, her arm retracting in preparation as she straightened her upper body.
But this time, reacting faster than before, from his position still in the air he moved his right arm forward, throwing a punch towards her, obviously due to the distance his fist wouldn't hit her, but that wasn't the intention.
Koneko, from her counterattack position, watched almost in slow motion with her superior time perception as the boy seemingly punched the air in front of her uselessly.
However, she already expected that with this action the boy would use the invisible force, which was apparently the wind, to attack her, so she was on alert, waiting for a strong wind or even something similar to a blade of wind to attack her, but that's not what happened.
She watched closely as the arm was extended and, once close to her, she slowly saw what appeared to be a flare of fire emerge from his fist.
Seeing this, her eyes, which until then had not made any movement for anything other than a neutral expression, widened slightly as she was taken by surprise, a shiver running down the back of her neck warning her to dodge.
And doing just that, his movement was practically a blur as his foot weighed heavily on the ground, propelling his body backwards at high speed, appearing as a blurred shape in Micael's perspective.
As a result of her movement on the ground under her sinking foot, she moved away from the attack which soon reached the position she was in a moment ago.
She observed, as if it were a flamethrower, a large amount of fire with great force coming straight from Micael's closed fist and hitting the ground.
Fhoosh!—
With the sound of fire pushing through the air at high speed, it hit the ground as it spread to the sides for a moment, with the attack only lasting a short second before stopping.
With him ending the firebending attack, his body that was in the air and had been propelled slightly backwards by the fire and with him increasing this push with wind, he finally fell, landing his bare feet in front of the burnt grass.
Smelling the burning grass rising up his nose, he looked at the ground and saw that the burn on the ground extended to at least a radius of two meters in diameter.
Looking at it silently for a moment, he then looked away at the girl who was watching him from afar.
Receiving his gaze, the girl nodded slightly as if acknowledging his strength, she then spoke in her neutral tone.
"Be careful, I will use more force from now on."
As he heard the words said, Micael walked to the side, moving away from the burnt grass, stopping, he adopted a fighting pose in response to the girl's words, saying.
"Come on."
Seeing his words as a sign, Koneko then moved, her foot extending forward as she leaned forward, her foot then touched the ground, exerting a great force that pushed her towards Micael at high speed.
With that single movement making her body move through the air over a distance of another five meters as if it were nothing, she advanced at a speed that Micael would be unable to react to normally.
That is, of course, if his perception of time had not been improved, with him using it from the moment he positioned himself, so he watched almost in slow motion as the girl made all these movements.
Calmly observing the girl approaching him slowly through the air, he made a movement, this movement actually being faster than it normally would be.
With almost superhuman speed, his right leg moved as he lifted it to his waist, then forcefully lowered it as he stepped onto the ground.
With that, a large chunk of the ground was ejected right in front of his foot, it was a square shape, with rocks at the bottom and the top covered by dirt and grass.
With that part of the floor reaching the level of his face, he looked at the girl who was now moving directly towards that part of the floor, and this time her eyebrows slowly rising as she witnessed this in sign of her surprise.
But not letting the girl get closer, Micael moved his arm and punched the stone, causing it to be thrown hard against the girl.
Seeing that large chunk of ground being thrown towards her, Koneko quickly dodged, stepping onto the ground and pushing herself to the side.
