Naud: Tonight, we shall be using a special variant item. Behold—a Dice Figure Game! At this time, I would like to invite the Kings from each team to step up onto the special platform. For those unfamiliar with this game, allow me to explain the rules.

Each round, both Kings will roll a standard six-sided die. The sum of their dice will determine which members may enter the match. For example, if the total is eight, each team must select members whose combined value equals that number. The value of a player is based on their evil piece type—Pawns are worth one point, Knights and Bishops three points, Rooks five points, and Queens nine points.

Multiple players can be chosen per match. If the total is eight, a King might send out two Knights, or a Rook and a Knight. Additionally, a player’s value is based on how many pieces were used to reincarnate them. For instance, Issei Hyodo consists of eight Pawn pieces, making his value eight. However, no piece may be used in consecutive matches, so choose wisely, my pets.

Of course, the Kings themselves are vital. The game ends if a King is defeated. After careful deliberation, the review board has assigned point values to each King. Hold onto your hats, dears—here they are! Sairaorg Bael will be worth 12 points! Rias Gremory will be worth eight points!

Now, now, while Lord Sairaorg has a higher value, he can only participate when the roll equals 12. This may work in Rias Gremory’s favor! One final rule—phoenix tears. Courtesy of the Phoenix family, each team will have one vial available for use at any time.

CROWD CHEERING

Rudiger: Time to decide the first match! Kings, pick up your dice. Let’s roll!

Naud: Rias Gremory rolls a two! Sairaorg Bael rolls a one! The total is three. Since Pawns are too high in value, only a Bishop or a Knight may participate. Now, which fighter will each family choose?

Rudiger: You have five minutes to decide. Please select your champion within that time.
