Riser Phenex isn't a Villain Chapter 112 Clash of the old and
It was like a scene out of a painting.
A group of devils marched in their direction with two figures leading them.
Serafall Levithan and Sirzech Lucifer.
Even if they were unholy beings, the devils, their appearance gave a ray of hope to everyone.
It was like a single light that pierced the dark cloud that surrounded their hearts.
Their existence gave them a sense of dependence and peace of mind.
"Onii-sama!"
"Onee-sama!"
Sona and Rias were happy to see their older sister and older brother.
However, Serafall, Sirzech, and the other devils, who came to handle the problem of the fallen angel, were stunned in a place as they watched the situation before them.
Everything was in ruin.
It was like the scene of the war.
It was also due to this that they couldn't help but feel a sense of regret that they couldn't come earlier.
Nevertheless, they sighed in relief when they saw their little sisters were okay.
Yet, compared to Rias and Sona, the existence that stood at the center as he beat a familiar person on the ground stunned them the most.
"RISER-CHAN!"
Serafall didn't wait for anything and sped up to Riser's side.
As for the others, Sona was okay, so she didn't care about the rest and walked to Riser's side, looking at him worriedly as he could see how heavy his injuries were.
As for Azazel? Serafall didn't care at all that she even kicked Azazel's head, thinking that it was all due to him.
"....." Azazel.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt? Ahhh! Your hands! Your body! How could it hurt so much? Phenex Tears! Get Phenex Tears for him, Sona!"
"Ye-Yes!"
Sona was also panicked by Serafall's outburst, but she also quickly took all the Phenex Tears she had with her to Riser.
"Don't stand there. Your panties might be seen by this perverted fallen angel."
Riser couldn't help but remind Serafall.
"Yes!" Serafall nodded, kicked Azaze's head again before she moved away.
"..." Azazel.
While Azazel felt insulted by Riser's words, he didn't deny it since Riser wasn't wrong. When he was pressed on Riser's feet, he couldn't help but sneak a peak at Serafall's bottom. Unfortunately, he couldn't do that, and his plan failed.
Because of this, Azazel couldn't help but cry at how cruel Riser was.
Not only was Riser about to kill him, but Riser also didn't allow him to see panties for the last time.
How cruel!
As Serafall was cornered about Riser, and Sona was about to let him drink the "Phenex Tears," Sirzech came down and wanted to ask, but Riser beat him first.
"Sirzech Lucifer-sama, the fallen angel, had planned to initiate the Great War of the three sides! I had caught their secret weapon, the owner of the Divine Dividing and the leader of the Grigori, Azazel! We had the two of them with us! Moreover, the owner of the Divine Divider killed the cadre of the fallen angel, Kokabiel, for an unknown reason.
As long as we strike down Grigori now, then they won't be able to do anything! We have a chance to win without losing much!
"Please allow me to bring down the Grigori right now!"
His words were blazing like a volcano.
There was no trace of hesitation in his voice, and as long as Sirzech said "okay," he would have ravaged Grigori tonight.
Yet, those who heard his words fell into a daze, and they couldn't help but cast Riser in amazement.
Not only Kokabiel, the legendary cadre of the Grigori, but also Vali Lucifer, the host of the Divine Divider, and Azazel, leader of the Grigori, Riser was able to handle all of them and won.
Even though his body was battered with injuries, it wouldn't be weird for him to fall down anytime; he was still standing straight.
Still, due to his words, everyone quickly understood everything, and the group devil army behind Sirzech also couldn't help but think that it was a chance.
Grigori had lost so much.
If they attacked them now, then they could dominate the Underworld.
However, Azazel's expression was so ugly at that moment.
His life aside, he cared the most about the lives of others.
There weren't many fallen angels on the Grigori, and many of them had died.
It was due to these limited numbers that Azazel cared for each of them.
Yet, due to his action, he might cause the demise of all the fallen angels.
Azazel shuddered as he looked at the young man who had defeated him. Not only was his might greater than anyone's, but his brain was brighter as he was able to pour all the dirty water on the head of the Grigori.
Riser, at this moment, was like a military commander.
As long as he charged forward, many would follow him, including Serafall, who was also extremely pissed when Riser was beaten that he almost died like this. As for the demise of the fallen angel, she didn't care and thought that they might as well disappear from the world.
Nevertheless, it was different from Sirzech.
Sirzech didn't hope for war as he only wished for peace.
Moreover, Sirzech also didn't have a good impression of Riser as many things happened between them. Lastly, he could see his influence on all the devils here disappear as Riser said those words.
Frankly, Sirzech wished to finish everything without anything big.
Lastly, the situation of the world wasn't as simple as it seemed since there were many things that happened in the world, and the relationship between the pantheon wasn't as simple as it seemed to be, especially when their religion, Christianity, had taken the beliefs of the people that were supposed to believe in those pantheons.
Still, before that, Sirzech needed to handle the mood of the other first.
"Riser-kun, can you let go of Azazel first?"
"I am sorry, Sirzech-sama. I am afraid I can't follow that order since I am afraid that this leader of the Grigori might use a sneak attack to attack you or the other people that I care about.
If he gets his hands on those people, then we will have a disadvantage as he will have a hostage."
In other words, if you don't care about the lives of others, then go ahead and force me to let go of Azazel.
Whether Azazel or Sirzech were speechless, neither of them decided to press forward as they could feel the tension that grew due to Riser's words.
Even if Azazel was beaten by Riser, he was still the leader of the Grigori.
Wasn't it normal for him to have a secret trump card or not?
While Sirzech was secretly annoyed, he asked Azazel, "Azazel, do you wish to have a war with us?"
"Of course not! I don't want a war! I just want to go back and sleep!" Azazel sighed and said hurriedly, causing him to cough up blood as his lungs ruptured. Still, even if talking was hurt, he continued to talk since the future of the fallen angel was determined through his words.
"I know that this is my responsibility that I didn't watch over my subordinate well. But even so, give me a chance! I will explain everything, and there won't be any war!
"I swore on my name and my life!
"If someone from my group wishes for war, I will kill them immediately, and I will take my life after that!"
There was no hesitation, and Azazel bet his life to save everyone.
Hearing that, everyone was at ease since who wished for the war.
Nevertheless, Riser only rolled his eyes, feeling that all of them were naive.
Could you believe the words of the one who you had fought for so long?
"Did you hear that Riser-kun? If so, can you let him go? He had promised that a big war wouldn't happen. Naturally—"
Sirzech stopped talking since Riser just walked away without even glancing in his direction as if Riser ignored him.
Even Sona, who wanted to heal him with the "Phenex Tears," and Serafall were stunned by his action.
"...what are you doing, Riser-kun?" Sirzech asked, and his voice was so low.
"Sirzech Lucifer-sama had made his decision. What could I, a lowly devil, do?"
Riser's words were full of sarcasm, clearly showing his dissatisfaction.
Yet, everyone also understood.
Riser was almost dead, and this matter just ended like this?
Okay, that's it?
Aside from protecting his women, what did he get from this battle?
Nothing!
Riser was sure that after this battle ended, all the good things would be taken by Sirzech, including the reputation, so that the whole devil in the Underworld could see how magnanimous and kind Sirzech was.
Knowing all of that, Riser wanted to vomit.
Yet, no one stopped him.
As he walked, everyone gave him a path as if their every being told them to do so.
"Ni! Li! Come on!"
Ni and Li quickly chased after their master.
"Huh? Why are you following me?"
Riser looked at Xenovia, who suddenly appeared by his side.
"I can't stay any longer in the church after knowing all of this."
After knowing God had died, how could Xenovia die?
She felt disillusioned by the church. Moreover, she didn't think heaven and the church would let her go after knowing this secret. The only place she could stay was Riser's side, as he was the only one who came to protect her.
His figure that fought so many strong opponents to protect her still burnt deep into her heart and mind.
The only one that she could rely on in this world was him.
"I have made a lot of enemies, you know?"
"I don't care." Xenovia looked at Riser with a determined expression, then asked pitifully, "Can you let me follow you?" There was no doubt even if the church and everything betrayed her; he was the only one who would be by her side, and like him, she would stay by his side.
Riser only raised his brow. "Then, come."
Xenovia smiled brightly and then nodded. "Um!"
As the four left, Sirzech was still full of dissatisfaction, but he didn't say anything and was just glad that everything was over. There was no need to press this matter further, especially when the one at fault was the Grigori, yet—
"RISER PHENEX!"
Vali Lucifer, who had seemed to be forgotten, suddenly shouted with his lungs.
"You idiot!" Azazel wanted to curse Vali.
Yet Vali, who was known as a ball of pride, was unstoppable.
"Today, I have lost, but I, Vali Lucifer, will repay this disgrace in the future! I will defeat you! So you better be ready, or I will take your life!"
"....."
Everyone fell in silence as they watched this young man say those words courageously.
Nevertheless, no one said anything as the temperature around them started to grow hotter, yet strangely enough, they felt cold.
Riser stopped his steps and then looked at Vali.
Vali also stared at Riser bravely without flinching. Even if it was hard for him to move a single muscle, he still stubbornly stared at Riser and stood up straight as if telling him that he would defeat him in the future, but—
Riser raised his finger and shot out a concentrated beam of blue fire toward Vali.
"—?!"
Vali widened his eyes as he had never thought Riser would kill him immediately.
'Ah, I am to die...'
Vali felt helpless, powerless, and, at the same time, unwilling.
Huh?
Just like this?
Was he going to die just like this?
A sense of regret burst deep within his heart.
Yet, everything was meaningless; Vali didn't even have time to fight as he was about to be burnt to ash.
"VALI!" Azazel cried while regretting not teaching Vali to be humble.
Yet—
As expected, Vali wouldn't die so easily.
After all, Sirzech made a move and stood in front of Vali to protect him. He raised his barrier and quickly blocked Riser's attack, yet that barrier was meaningless, and that concentrated beam of blue fire was about to hit him!
'Oh, no!'
Sirzech had heard from his wife that Riser had become stronger, but he didn't take it to heart, yet watching him again, he realized how strong he was, and he knew if he didn't use all of his power, he would die!
Then—
A sense of dread swept everyone away, and they felt a cold sweat as their legs were trembling due to the horror of this power.
Riser's fire beam was as if being swallowed by something, and after a moment of struggle, it vanished as if it was destroyed.
When the fire beam disappeared, everyone could see the figure that brought them so much horror.
"RISEEERRR!"
Riser Phenex isn't a Villain Chapter 113 No more good guy | Patreon
How did Sirzech take the name Maou Lucifer, yet he wasn't being troubled by the others?
After all, even the Old Satan Faction, which was led by the descendants of the original Maou, didn't go extinct. There were still many of their remains, and all of them were living together in the Underworld.
Yet, why didn't they say anything about Sirzech, who was the only member of the Gremory House?
After all, the meaning of Lucifer, the leader of all the devils, meant a lot of things to all the devils who existed in the past, present, and future.
Yet, the answer to all of this was simple.
Power.
In this moment and time, Sirzech showed Riser why he could become the Maou Lucifer.
Everyone was trembling in fear and frightened by Sirzech's power.
Even Serafall didn't expect that the situation would become so serious.
Sirzech's appearance was no longer that of a man who always had a gentle smile on his face. Instead, his body was clad in a black aura that tore apart and made the ground vanish.
Frankly, instead of a devil, Riser thought of Sirzech as a Power of Destruction in the shape of a devil.
It was said that Sirzech's power was ten times that of the original Luficer, and it seemed this news was correct.
"Step back."
Ni, Li, and Xenovia, who were scared silly, suddenly heard his voice.
"It's my problem. You don't have to face this."
"....." 3x
Hearing his words, the three of them somehow made a determined expression and stubbornly stood behind them. They might not be able to talk due to the shock and groggy feeling that they felt after being exposed to Sirzech's aura, but their eyes and actions clearly told Riser everything.
Riser was a little helpless and made a barrier for the three of them to ease the pressure they felt before he stepped forward to face Sirzech.
"Onii-sama..." Rias looked at Sirzech with a startled gaze as it was her first time to see Riser like this.
"Onee-sama...!" Sona held Serafall and asked her to help her husband.
Even if Sona didn't say anything, Serafall would help Riser, but when she was about to step it, an aura that didn't even lose to Sirzech swept over everyone.
Unlike Sirzech's aura, which brought despair and destruction, the aura that came from Riser was blazing hot.
It was like he was the Sun.
He was the one.
Even with his battered body that wouldn't be weird to fall on at any time, Riser stood proudly against Sirzech, and there was no fear on his face.
Naturally, it brought so much shock to everyone as it was their first time seeing someone who could match the might of Sirzech.
Nevertheless, everyone was trembling as they were afraid the fight between the two would cause the destruction of this country, and they might be involved in it.
"Sirzech-sama, please step back. I will kill this bastard."
"No. I won't let you kill him."
While Sirzech was surprised by Riser's power, he wouldn't let Riser kill Vali.
As for Vali, he was already passed out due to being too weak, and Sirzech was also afraid that this guy might cause more trouble.
"Did you not hear what this guy had shouted before? He shouted clearly that he wanted to kill me..." His eyes became sharper, and he asked in a low voice, yet everyone could hear it,
"—or were you saying that you were going to help him do it? Do you want to kill me by using him? Just what was your purpose in protecting him?"
"....."
Due to his words, everyone also looked at Sirzech.
Was this what Sirzech planned to do?
Using Vali to kill Riser?
Their expressions became doubtful and confused.
Moreover, with Riser's aura, which blocked and faced Sirzech's aura directly, they no longer felt the frightening aura that made them dread in terror. Due to that, even if they didn't have extreme thoughts like what Riser did, all the devils present couldn't help but cast doubt at Sirzech.
Why did Sirzech block Riser to kill Vali?
After all, everyone was clear that Vali wished to kill Riser.
Wasn't it normal for Riser to wish to kill Vali?
The tide turned, and everyone stared at Sirzech in doubt.
Frankly, the reason why Sirzech could win over all of his opponents was due to his power, and due to that power, everyone was too scared to talk or even lie. Moreover, before they could even fight, they would give up immediately, especially when Sirzech had killed all the descendants of the true Maou.
Before, by killing others, Sirzech could become Maou Lucifer, but now?
Such a method was meaningless since Sirzech knew that he needed to resolve everyone's doubts.
His aggressive attitude also disappeared, and his body was like a balloon pierced by a needle.
At this moment, Riser had grasped the heart of everyone.
Sirzech understood all of this, and it was also because of this he was slightly flustered.
What was this feeling?
The eyes of everyone... their doubts... their confusion... and their—
Even if it was only for a moment, Sirzech saw a variety of emotions in everyone for his action to help Vali, who had shouted to kill Riser, the third son of Lord Phenex and the husband of the Sona Sitri.
He could even see that doubt from Rias, his precious little sister.
Yet, their doubt was normal.
After all, with Vali's identity, which was a weapon from the Grigori, their nemesis, and his conduct that shouted to kill Riser in front of everyone, why should Sirzech Lucifer, their leader, help such a person?
Wasn't it normal for Riser to wish to kill such a person?
Nevertheless, due to this, Riser also understood what kind of person Sirzech was.
Sirzech might be powerful, but his insight into politics was quite horrible.
Still, the reason why Sirzech could stand up until now without stumbling was probably due to his enemies being as horrible as him and only relying on their brute forces.
Yet, Riser also didn't blame them either since in front of overwhelming power, which was enough to obliterate anything, and a demonic power that was ten times the original Lucifer, not even a wise mind could stay calm and use their heads.
As for those who could match him like Ajuka?
While Riser hadn't seen Ajuka, he knew that Ajuka was probably the same type as Sirzech. Ajuka might be powerful, but instead of politics, his intellect was more into research instead of politics.
—Or was Ajuka too lazy?
Nevertheless, proof of their incompetence could be seen in their confrontation with the Great King Faction.
It was almost more than half the millennium that Sirzech and Ajuka had become the Maou Lucifer and Maou Beelzebub, respectively, yet until now, they were unable to completely dominate the politics of the Underworld and even let the Great King Faction do whatever they wanted to do.
If this wasn't incompetent, then what was it?
—Or were the devils in the Underworld so stupid?
Riser knew his words might seem too much, but "Oppai Dragon," a perverted dragon that loved to rub and suck boobs, became a popular show that generated a lot of income for the Gremory House and gained so much fame that it was loved by everyone.
When he thought all of this, he couldn't help but sigh, thinking the future of the devil was quite dim.
Nevertheless, Sirzech's current opponent was different.
Riser's might was comparable to that of him and even Ajuka, especially in Riser's current situation where Riser almost died.
Due to his "Crisis" ability, Riser's strength became stronger and stronger the more dying he was, and it wouldn't be strange if he became even more powerful than Sirzech if he continued to be hurt.
Moreover, his mind was still devious and politically keen.
For the first time, Sirzech realized Riser wasn't a young devil that he could crush anytime.

Riser Phenex isn't a Villain Chapter 114 Being a villain is so much fun~! | Patreon
With a power that was comparable to Sirzech and Ajuka...
Then, with a sharp mind that was comparable to Zekram Bael, the initiator and the leader of the Anti-Satan Faction during the Devil Civil War, and the de-facto leader of the Devils after the death of the original Four Great Satans...
Azazel could only lament why the devil was so lucky.
They had so many strong people born, and each of them was ridiculously strong.
Yet, Azazel also knew that if this continued, there was no doubt that the fallen angel's demise was just in front of his eyes.
However, in his current situation, what could he possibly do?
After all, under the pressure generated by Sirzech and Riser, there was no third person that could possibly enter.
Still, Azazel knew that everything depended on Sirzech; depending on Sirzech's answer, what he needed to do would be different.
Nevertheless, it was Sirzech's first time under so much pressure, unlike the time when he fought in the Devil Civil War. Even if his opponents were strong, he could erase their existence with the power of destruction.
Yet, could Sirzech do that with Riser? No.
Sirzech could see how strong Riser had become, and if he really did so, he knew that he wouldn't be able to bear the consequences, especially when there was no doubt his action was wrong.
Between Vali and Riser.
In the eyes of the devil, who should they help?
The answer was obvious, right?
Yet why did Sirzech save Vali?
However, as Sirzech had lived so many years, he still had the demeanor of a politician.
"Riser, you don't understand. You should see the big picture. We, the devil, aren't like before. We can't bear the consequences of the war. If war happens, then many of our kin will die, or do you want to see them dying so much due to your revenge?
"I know that his words might have hurt you, but please bear with it."
Sirzech's voice was filled with sadness and helplessness. "This is for the future of the devil. Moreover, I will make sure that the host of the Divine Dividing won't do anything to you." He then looked at Azazel, who was still on the ground, and asked, "Is that right, Azazel?"
"Of course!" Azazel quickly followed. "I won't let Vali do whatever he wants. If he does something that will hurt you, then I will kill him with my hands immediately!"
Azazel was also ruthless.
After all, even if he thought of Vali as his stepson, he had enough of Vali's stupidity, who thought that he could rule the world.
If Vali was really strong enough to kill everything and dominate the world, then Azazel might not say anything and support his action, but Vali was too weak to do that.
Moreover, Azazel would be lying if he didn't have a grudge toward Vali, especially when Vali had killed his comrade Kokabiel.
Kokabiel might be a criminal, and it wouldn't be weird of him to be killed.
Yet... yet... Kokabiel was his dear comrade who had fought so long together.
Even if that guy was a bastard, Azazel still thought of him as a friend and wished to put him in prison instead of killing him.
Nevertheless, it was impossible for Azazel to throw Vali away since, as Riser had said before, the Grigori had grown so weak that they needed to rely on many Sacred Gear users and mated with the human or the other races to increase their number.
Yet, wasn't it normal?
God had died, and it was impossible for the number of angels to increase further, so it was impossible for the angel to become the fallen angel, causing the number of the fallen angels to decimate even further.
"Now, you understand, right, Riser-kun? This is for everyone's sake. We can't bear the consequences of war, or do you want to see them dying so much for you?"
"...."
Serafall frowned at Sirzech, clenching her fists, but she didn't say anything since, as Sirzech had said, their race couldn't bear the consequences of having a war.
Yet, watching her little brother-in-law, the existence of a man who had made her interested to be belittled like this, how could she bear it?
However, what could she possibly do?
Others were also quickly affected by Sirzech's words.
With their limited minds, they thought that Sirzech was someone who cared about them and no one wished to have a war, especially when they knew they might die and their family might also be involved.
No one liked the war, after all.
Even if they were a devil, a being that was known for being malevolent in the eyes of others, they weren't much different from others. They knew what it meant to love and care about others. They knew what their family was like, and they also wished for peace.
At this moment, if Riser really forced himself to kill Vali, he would become a sinner in the eyes of others. He would become the target of hatred of every devil as he was the one who initiated this war.
There was no doubt the tide was slowly moving into Sirzech.
Once again, Sirzech became the wise and gentle leader in the eyes of everyone.
Watching this, Azazel could only shake his head and thought even though the devils were fortunate to have a lot of talented and powerful beings, their races were often fighting each other, which was something that he was glad for.
Yet, at the same time, Azazel had a feeling that there was no way for Riser to swallow all of this.
Even though Azazel knew that his life might be in danger, he still wanted to know how Riser was going to react.
Yet—
Riser wanted to vomit, and at the same time, he disdained Sirzech even more.
Was this Sizech's only means of defeating him?
Riser wanted to yawn, and at the same time, he knew that there was no need for him to hold back anymore. He knew that Sirzech came with a bad intention and wanted to screw him.
If it was before, Riser would endure it, but after so many troubles that he encountered, there was no way for him to endure all of this.
Moreover, the increase in his power, especially due to the "Crisis," greatly boosted his confidence.
There was no need for him to be polite anymore.
It was a time to tear each other's faces.
There was no need for him to hold back anymore.
"I see..."
His voice was low, yet it was heard by everyone.
Once again, Sirzech felt a sense of dread, but under this situation, he believed that there was no way for Riser to do anything but—
"Sirzech Lucifer-sama... No, Sirzech Lucifer, this might be the last time I have shown respect toward you."
Riser's expression was that of a sincere yet also sadness. "As a devil, there is no doubt that I respect you. I adore you like any other devil, but the greater my expectation is, the greater my disappointment is."
"...what do you mean, Riser-kun?"
Even if Sirzech had a good temper, being called impotently by a young generation like Riser in front of everyone, there was no way for him to be able to maintain his calmness.
Being Maou Lucifer, Sirzech had gotten used to being respected by everyone.
No, everyone should respect him since it was the meaning of being in this position.
Yet, Riser said that he was no longer going to give him respect; what did it mean?
"You wish for the peace of all the devils; what an incredible dream, yet your way makes me dread.
"By letting the secret weapon of the Grigori, the White Dragon Warrior, and currying favor to the fallen angel, you wish to have peace.
"Then, next time, you will sacrifice my life so you can gain peace.
"Then, what about next time? Are you going to sacrifice the Phenex House? Are you going to sacrifice the other Maou? The Great King Faction? If that's not enough, will you also sacrifice your family for so-called peace with the fallen angel, angel, and other pantheons?
"If they ask you to do it, will you comply with their wish like a puppy?
"Maybe you will sacrifice everyone's life here so they will shut their mouths and clean up your reputation?"
Riser looked at everyone with a meaningful smile, causing everyone to feel dread in their hearts.
That's right!
For the so-called peace, Sirzech might do what Riser had said.
If Riser, whose status was above theirs, could be abandoned by Sirzech and made into a piece on the board of chess that could be toppled down anytime, what about them?
There was no doubt that they could be thrown away like trash.
Their hearts filled with chillness as they were tense as if ready to fight anytime.
'Oh, no.'
Azazel was frightened by the terror that came from Riser's decisiveness and ingenuity.
All the tides that had been built by Sirzech crumbled like a quicksand.
It was impossible to stop it, and with few words, Riser had won the hearts of everyone.
"Sirzech Lucifer, I won't let you do that! We, the devil, are strong! We don't need to rely on others to gain peace! We don't need to sacrifice the others and the favor of the other races to gain peace!
"I, Riser Phenex, will use my life to stop you from doing such an atrocity!"
At that moment, Riser was like a ray of hope.
The sun that was blazing and the one that could lead all of them.
"RISEEERRRR!"
Watching Sirzech cry an incompetent roar, Riser felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
The feeling of trampling those who thought that they were better than you...
The feeling of winning against those who thought they were above you...
The feeling of making your opponent could only cry an incompetent roar; Riser was afraid that he might become the villain that the system wished to be.
Yet, it couldn't be helped, right?
After all, being a villain was so much fun~!
Riser Phenex isn't a Villain Chapter 115 Shatter! | Patreon
Except for an incompetent roar, there was nothing that Sirzech could do.
Riser's method was ruthless and bold; he quickly pictured Sirzech as a cold-blooded animal that would sacrifice everyone to gain peace, yet he was also weak as he was licking the fallen angel as if the fallen angel group was his father.
While everyone was scared of Sirzech's power, they had disdain and contempt for him for showing licking the butts of the fallen angel.
As Riser had said before, they were the devil.
They might not like war, but were they so weak that they had to beg the fallen angel? No!
If they begged the fallen angel now, what about the future?
Would they beg for another race?
If they asked for their lives, would Sirzech give them up?
Sirzech's talent in politics might not be that good, but as someone who has been in the world of politics for so long, his understanding was good. He understood what Riser did and could tell that Riser's words swayed everyone.
Yet, he was also helpless, as he knew the only way for him to solve this situation was by killing Vali.
Vali, who had been saved by him.
If Sirzech killed him, then everything was clear up.
Yet, how could he allow himself to be forced into this situation?
How could he be doubted by so many devils like this?
How could he take back the decision which he had made?
Who was he?
Sirzech Lucifer!
The one who bore the name of the Lucifer among all the devils!
"Oh... you want to kill me, right? Well, that's good. I plan to kill you too."
His voice was low and cold, yet at the same time, it was different than those of Sirzech's.
This voice didn't seem to come from a living being.
Instead, it was like a certain force that was shaped into a living being.
While Sirzech knew that Riser was strong, so what?
Who hadn't he killed?
Sirzech has killed everyone, including the respected and noble-like descendants of the true Maou.
Killing Riser and all the devils that came with him, right now and right here, was nothing to him.
As for the price to do that? Nothing.
He was Maou Lucifer.
While this name might be a symbol if he wished to kill someone, who dared to say anything?
Even if he killed Riser, he was sure that the Phenex House wouldn't say anything.
Serafall?
Her power wasn't strong enough to match him.
At that moment, a stronger aura emitted from Sirzech's body swept over everyone.
All the devil's army that was brought by Sirzech and Serafall fell down and passed out on the spot. Some of those who still retained their consciousness could only fall in horror, and they knew that everything was meaningless in front of Sirzech.
This was the advantage of power.
As long as you had power, everything you did was forgiven.
Only—
If Sirzech was strong enough.
Meanwhile, Riser's aura also grew stronger, and it even matched Sirzech's.
As their aura collided, Riser didn't back down and stood on the spot. His body was battered, full of brushes, and many parts of his body were bleeding, but he still stood tall.
"Finally, you have taken that hyproscy mask off your face. I want to vomit whenever I see that face."
Riser had lost his restraint, and he didn't care about anything anymore.
If the world ends at this moment, then that's it.
After all, he knew if he hesitated, he would lose.
He knew that the reason why he could stand up and match Sirzech's power was all due to a "Crisis." However, he was dying at that moment. The stronger he was, the dying he was. Yet, it didn't matter.
Even if he died, he was going to bring Sirzech's life with him.
His eyes told everyone all of that.
Sirzech was quickly shaken by his determination, yet at that moment, Riser didn't hesitate and attacked Sirzech.
"—?!"
In this battle, the one who had the initiative won.
It was like the case when Riser fought Kokabiel, Vali, and Azazel.
As long as Riser took the initiative, Sirzech would be defeated and down like a bereaved dog.
Nevertheless, unlike before, this time, Riser was serious. He took out the "Magic Spear: Ten Commandments," which he hid, and changed its form into the strongest form of this spear, "Ravelt," increasing his power even further.
Along with his "Bajiquan Mastery," even if Sirzech might not have died, there was no doubt that Sirzech wouldn't be different from being dead.
As for the consequences of his actions?
With power, who dared to give him a punishment?
Moreover, with the backing of the Phenex House, Sitri House, and the Maou Leviathan faction, everything would be clear up.
The chance was in front of him.
There was no need to hesitate!
As long as Riser erased Sirzech, his life would be peaceful, so why not, right?
Meanwhile, Sirzech could feel the killing intent that came from Riser.
Riser was serious.
There was no doubt that Riser planned to kill him.
Even if Sirzech was unprepared, he was still Maou Lucifer, yet facing the strongest blow that came from Riser, he still needed time to prepare, yet—
"Get the hell out of there, Aneki!"
"I won't, Riser-chan!"
"Get the hell out there bitch!"
"No, I won't!"
"....."
Serafall screamed, standing in front of Sirzech as she faced Riser, who was about to stab Sirzech to death. Even if she could see how furious Riser was, she wouldn't step back, standing between them to stop them from fighting.
Facing Serafall, even if Riser was cold-blooded, there was no way for him to stab Serafall to death.
Watching Riser, who stopped his action, Serafall sighed in relief, ignoring the sharp spear that was about to stab her as she believed that Riser wouldn't do something like that before looking at Sirzech, who seemed prepared to do something.
"You too, Sirzech-chan! Stop! Stop! Don't fight anymore! Okay? Don't fight anymore!"
She was already in tears, watching her best friend and brother-in-law ready to kill each other.
Nevertheless, even if Sirzech and Riser didn't say anything, their eyes had never looked away from each other. They kept staring at each other, and when one party was ready to attack, whenever the other moved.
Serafall was annoyed and thought about the source of this problem. She looked at Vali, who had passed and was ready to kill him to solve this situation. After all, as long as this guy was killed, everything was over. Moreover, she didn't have a good impression of Vali as this guy was the cause of everything, and Vali also had threatened her brother-in-law, and the man—
Naturally, this scene was seen by Azazel, and he quickly stopped it.
"Wait! I, the governor of the fallen angel and the organization, proposed a truce! I wish for peace with the devil! In exchange for the damage that we have caused, I will give you all the data that I have about the Sacred Gear! If you don't feel it's enough, you can take whatever you want, including my life! So..."
Azazel bowed his head and groveled on the dirty ground. "Let Vali stay alive. That's all. That's my only request."
Even though he was injured, Azazel shouted all of his might.
At this moment, everyone stopped breathing, and the space gripped their neck, making them unable to breathe, showing how much pressure and terrifying their current situation was.
Even the proud leader of the Grigori could only lower his head like a dog with only a single hand, causing everyone to look at Riser in awe, fear, and amazement.
In the supernatural world, only the strong were respected.
The weak?
They could only live honestly like how a peasant and commoner were.
By now, no one had said anything like the whole decision was on Riser.
Sirzech?
With his weakling-like attitude, everyone could tell what kind of decision he would make.
Riser didn't care about Azazel as he believed he could slay down all of the fallen angels, especially when he had an "Area of Invisibility." If he couldn't be seen, how could they defend against him?
Yet, watching Serafall, who kept staring at him with teary eyes, he asked indifferently, "Are you really going to stop me?"
"Yes, Riser-chan!"
"Even if Sirzech tries to kill me?"
"I won't let him kill you! Even if he dares, then I will destroy all of his precious things."
Serafall also didn't hesitate.
If Sirzech really dared to kill Riser, then she would really go on a rampage and break the relationship between the two.
Only Sirzech was in shock as he didn't expect the relationship between him and Serafall to be broken so easily with Riser.
Riser didn't say anything and was in silence for a moment before he weaved his spear smoothly and then slammed the blunt part of the spear on the ground, causing an earthquake in the whole area.
Riser took a deep breath and put down his spear as he snapped his fingers.
When the sound of the snap of his fingers was heard, Sona and her peerage members were stunned.
Meanwhile, Saji was pale and wanted to go to the bathroom to check, afraid that he was affected.
Riser then looked at Azazel and said, as he narrowed his eyes, "Please welcome me when I visit your headquarters."
"Ah, un, please come." Azazel's face was so ugly, but then, why did Riser snap his fingers? Nevertheless, he sighed in relief when Riser didn't press this matter forward.
"Ni! Li! Xenovia! Let's go."
The three quickly followed after him.
Sona also wanted to follow him, but—
"Don't follow me."
"...eh?"
"Give me time to be alone."
His voice was cold, which was so much different from how he was so affectionate toward her.
Yet, Riser didn't even glance at Sona and just left with the three in a teleportation circle.
Serafall was stunned and wanted to stop him. "He-Hey, why did you fight? So-chan! Riser-chan!" However, it was too late to stop Riser, and she didn't know where he went. Moreover—
"Onee-chan!"
Sona cried and hugged her older sister tightly since she thought Riser had hated her.
Serafall also wasn't sure what to do as she knew that she had made him angry, too.
Nevertheless, was it over?
Everything is over, right?
Yet—
All the devils that were brought by Sirzech and Serafall for an emergency were erased by Sirzech cruelly.
"AAARRGGGHHHH!"
"Sirzech-sama!"
"Why...?!"
Sirzech didn't say anything and just killed all of them with a flat expression.
"Sirzech..." Serafall hugged her little sister tightly so Sona didn't see all of this. Still, she was helpless, but she didn't stop Sirzech.
Azazel was the same and just sat relaxed since his life and Vali's life were saved, ignoring the death of the devils, but the others couldn't believe what they had seen and felt like their world was spinning and feeling the cruelty of the weak.
After killing all of them with ease, Sirzech looked at all of them with a gentle smile.
"Okay, everything is over. How about you go back and rest?"
"....." Everyone.
While everyone was frightened, Rias looked in the direction where Riser had disappeared absentmindedly.
Meanwhile, Riser, Ni, Li, and Xenovia appeared on the sacred mountain where they stayed before.
Riser, Ni, and Li aside, Xenovia looked at the scenery in her surroundings curiously.
"Hey, your trip took a long time—" Magari stopped when she saw Riser's situation. "What has happened?"
Riser didn't say anything and looked at the system that gave him a quest.
[How dare you! How dare you! How dare you!]
[Wash away this humiliation!]
[Defeat Sirzech Lucifer!]
[Reward: The Ruler.]
Even if the system didn't ask him so, he would do so, but before that, he really wanted to sleep.
*Plop!*
As he passed out, everyone became panicked.
"RISER (RISER-SAMA)!"
NOTE:
Writing those two chapters is tough, and each of them has so many words, but please enjoy it.

Ni, Li, and Xenovia panicked as they watched Riser had fallen.
"Riser-sama!"
"Don't die, Nyaa!"
"Riser! Riser!"
The three wanted to shake him to wake him up, but they were all pushed away by Magari.
"Bring him to my room. I will heal him."
Hearing those words, they nodded obediently.
While Xenovia didn't know who Magari was, she could see the trust between Ni and Li toward this woman in a beautiful Sakura pattern kimono.
"What's happening?"
As they brought him into the room, Magari couldn't help but ask, wondering who had made Riser so beaten. After all, she knew that Riser had an "Immorality" trait, and she knew how strong he was, so she wondered how he could be in this situation.
Ni, Li, and Xenovia didn't hide anything and told everything.
Yet, for Magari, who listened, she couldn't help but shudder and look at Riser in amazement.
If someone other than Riser met such a situation, there was no doubt that they would die.
Yet, Riser was able to win all of them, and if Serafall didn't stop him, then Sirzech Lucifer, the strongest devil of all, might die at his hands.
"..."
Magari looked at Riser for a moment without a single word. She took a deep breath and then said, "Give me a space. I need to concentrate to heal him."
"Can we stay?"
Ni, Li, and Xenovia wanted to be by his side all the time.
"If you want him to be in this condition all the time, then go ahead."
"..." 3x
In the end, the three of them left, leaving Magari alone with Riser.
When Magari was alone, she looked at Riser, who lay on the bed, losing consciousness. His expensive and luxurious suit was no longer there, and what was left was only his pants and battered body with many degrees of various wounds.
"Geez, your women are too careless."
She looked helplessly as she caressed his neck with her slender, long fingers.
As long as she wished, with one move, she could take his life with her sharp nails.
Even now, she still hadn't forgotten what he did to all of them. He destroyed the East Youkai Faction and dominated it. Even though he didn't manage them much and just left everything like before, there was no doubt that he was the one who had given them the feeling of despair.
The feeling of defeat...
The feeling of being unable to do anything when your friends were hurt...
And the feeling when one could only beg to save one's life.
Those humiliations she still remembered, and it was impossible for her to forget about them.
Yet, she wondered why she didn't hate him.
She didn't even have any intention of killing him as she continued to trace his well-defined body from his neck, chest, and the big bulge within his pants.
She even boldly held it in her hand, causing it to expand and swell at a size that caused her to gasp.
"Now... I know why your women are crazy about you..."
With a face that shouldn't have been shown by a woman around her age, she crept toward him, pressing their bodies together as she licked his chin, neck, and chest lustfully.
"Hmnh~!"
---
Riser had a dream.
He was dreaming that he was sleeping with Grayfia as he was pushing her from behind.
"Now, you are screaming like a bitch. Didn't you swear that your body is only for your husband?"
With a defiant expression, Grayfia tried to fight back, but the pleasure on her body was too much to handle that she could only moan like a little woman.
Yet, the feeling of pleasure disappeared.
Gone.
He stopped and looked at her with a smile.
"Wh-Why did you stop...?" Her voice was so low as she asked that question, feeling her body was hot as if she was bathed with magma.
"Why shouldn't I? Did you not want to do this with me?"
"....."
Grayfia looked at Riser hatefully as if it was too late.
He shouldn't say that when his spear had already pierced her hole.
Yet, even if he didn't move, the walls of her vagina seemed to squeeze him, moving on its own as if seeking pleasure.
There was no doubt that she had fallen.
"Come on. Why don't you beg?"
"Be-Beg?"
Yet, as her body grew hotter and more sensitive, Grayfia was unable to do anything except stare at him hatefully.
"If you beg, I will make it even better, you know?"
She bit her lower lip, trying to resist him with her last will, yet with just a light movement, she felt her head turned into mush, and the pleasure that she felt previously was incomparable to this one.
"Hmm?"
"I want to..."
"I can't hear you."
"I want you to fuck me hard!"
"Good girl. This is your reward."
Then, as he moved, she fell even deeper into the abyss, forgetting her husband, son, and family, only enjoying the pleasure with him.
"Ahnn~! You're much better than my husband~!"
As he enjoyed taming Grayfia, he seemed to realize that the pleasure he felt in his body was real.
'Wait! Wait! Wait!'
At that moment, he was stunned and confused.
The last time he remembered, he was fighting against Sirzech but was stopped by Serafall, and then he went to hide on the sacred mountain, yet why did someone fuck him?
Wait, did he get raped?
This was rape, right?
He was speechless, wondering what kind of beast would do something so dirty to him when his entire body was hurt.
Wait... it seemed that he wasn't hurt anymore.
He felt that his body was slowly filled with vitality.
Even though that fight would make him enough to lay on the bed for a week, he seemed okay now, which made him confused as he didn't remember getting a new ability that made him able to recover faster.
However, when he opened his eyes, he was stunned.
"...Magari?"
The most calm-headed, polite, yet elegant beauty in the East Youkai Faction was riding on his waist like a wild animal. Her waist moved in a lewd manner, and her long black hair was moving unruly while some stuck onto her face due to the sweat. Her face was full of ecstasy and joy as she had fallen into bliss.
"Ahnn~!"
Then, at that moment, her body shivered and tense, seemingly having cum after her deep exercise.
"Riser-sama, have you woken up?"
"...what are you doing?"
"You were hurt, so I performed "Bouchujutsu" on you." Magari moved her body to face him and leaned forward, hugging him as she licked his chin and cheek affectionately.
Bouchujutsu or Bedroom Method.
It was part of the healing technique of the Senjutsu, a rare technique that only the previous Sennin and high-level Youkai were able to learn.
Using this technique, Magari shared her "ki" with Riser, healing him.
"...is having my dick in your hole necessary?"
"Of course, or..." Magari whispered lovingly. "Do you hate to do it with this old lady?"
"...."
Old lady.
Those words might not be wrong to describe Magari as she was 800 years or so.
Yet, her body, appearance, and everything was like a woman in her 20s.
How could she be an old lady?
"I don't hate it at all."
The two looked at each other, then started to kiss, and worked together to perform Bouchujutsu.
As it was a difficult technique, his help was needed, and as a man, how could he leave everything to Magari?
Only with the cooperation of the two could the result of this technique be improved.
Still, he wondered whether he could learn this technique since he could tell that it was extremely useful.
[Congratulations, you have received "Bouchujutsu Mastery."]
"..."
As expected by the system, but he decided to check it later as he was still hurt and he needed to focus on his treatment first, right?
Riser Phenex isn't a Villain Chapter 117 Let's go home, okay? | Patreon
After a long treatment, Magari was exhausted and slept on his strong chest directly like a docile cat as her several tails moved gently, trying to grasp him.
Meanwhile, Riser was in silence as he thought of all the crazy things that he had done.
The matter of Magari aside, he realized how crazy he was after he calmed down.
Previously, due to being hurt and the effect of "Crisis," he was like a bull.
Nothing could stop him, and he kept charging forward crazily.
He even dared to provoke and kill Sirzech in front of everyone.
Moreover, he even pushed Sona away, which gave him a headache.
As he sighed, he decided to throw away all the troublesome matters as he thought about the quest that was given by the system before he passed out.
'Defeat Sirzech...'
Defeating Sirzech aside, the reward was amazing.
The Ruler.
It was an ability to "reverse" all the magical attacks and power effects used against the user.
All attacks and weaknesses were converted into healing and fortification. Even the effects of others' powers were completely reversed.
If he gave an example, if Sirzech used the power of destruction on him instead of destroying his body, it would heal him instead.
It was the ultimate ability to reverse everything.
Naturally, if someone healed him, he would be hurt.
However, such a weakness could be overcome by deactivating that power.
Yet, was it possible for one to think such a countermeasure?
In a world where the "Oppai Dragon" became so popular that it was sought by everyone, the IQ of the supernatural beings and the people who lived in this world was quite small and even stupid.
Even if one could think of a countermeasure to defeat him, he had a "Crisis," so even if he was hurt, he could become stronger.
In other word, as long as he had this ability, he would be invincible.
Nevertheless, this reward wasn't so easy to get, as he needed to defeat Sirzech.
He might have had a chance before, but Serafall stopped him, and there was no way for Sirzech to give him an opening like previously. Moreover, he needed to almost die if he wanted to have a power that matched Sirzech.
Yet, would Sirzech give him a chance to power up?
Probably not, as Sirzech might have erased him immediately.
Nevertheless, he was confident that he could become stronger.
Even if he couldn't defeat Sirzech, he could run away, especially when he had an "Area of Invisibility."
If there was something that troubled him, it was his family.
If he was alone, then he might not care about anything, but he wasn't alone. He had many people who cared about him, and it was impossible to abandon them.
Moreover, he also didn't want to leave the Underworld.
Even if he had to face Sirzech, he felt that the Underworld was much safer than the human world.
Frankly, he had had enough of the human world, especially with how many troubles he had faced.
Yet he knew he couldn't escape and needed to charge forward.
The moment he showed hesitation, he would be crushed to death.
He shouldn't have shown hesitation; he needed to be ruthless.
[Somehow, I am happy.]
"....." Riser.
While he was helpless, he also understood why the system was so happy.
With how many troubles he faced, it was impossible for him to have a lazy pig-like life.
Instead... might he have become a qualified villain?
"....."
While he felt quite conflicted, he knew that he couldn't escape as it was the path that he had chosen.
He couldn't regret it.
No, he should make those who made him into the enemy regret their action!
[By the way, you forgot about the reward that you had received after you had beaten up Azazel.]
'Now that you've mentioned it.'
[Congratulations, you have received "Researcher."]
Researcher.
It was an ability that gave him several sub-skills: Omni Analysis, Spatial Storage, and Transmutation.
This ability might not have helped him in the battle, but there was no doubt he loved it.
Still, he might need to explain the use of those three skills as he was sure that many would be curious.
The first was transmutation.
It was an ability to finely alter the properties of certain materials, making it useful in the forging process.
Frankly, this ability reminded him of the legend of King Midas, the king who could turn anything into gold with a touch.
This ability also allowed him to do a similar feat, yet unlike King Midas, who could only turn something into gold, he could turn something into a variety of materials.
The second ability was Spatial Storage.
This ability allowed him to store things away in a sub-space.
Frankly, there was no doubt that this was the bread and butter of the ability of every reincarnation story protagonist.
If he had this ability, then there was no need for him to turn his spear into a mini size and keep it in his pocket.
By using Spatial Storage, he could keep anything he wanted, which was extremely useful.
Now, the last ability, which was the third ability, was Omni Analysis.
This ability allowed him to analyze any item and make a replica from available materials.
It was also the reason why this ability might be named "Researcher."
While he knew this ability might not help him in the battle, there was no doubt that it was extremely useful.
When he defeated Azazel, he used this ability on Azazel's broken armor and knew that it was an Artificial Sacred Gear made by making a contract with the legendary dragon, Fafnir.
Nevertheless, this item wasn't perfect, and it was one used item.
Yet, was it powerful?
It was okay.
However, Azazel's talent for fighting and his ruthlessness were quite lacking, so he couldn't utilize this Artificial Sacred Gear to the fullest.
Still, with his ability, he could make one.
Frankly, if he wished to, he should be able to make a real Sacred Gear instead of the Artificial one.
If there was a problem, then there was no doubt it was to put the legendary beings or powerful beings into such an item.
Nevertheless, even if he didn't make such an item, it didn't matter as he still had his "Magic Spear: Ten Commandments." Using his "Researcher," he should be able to make a copy or something similar for his peerage members. Moreover, there was also Excalibur and Durandal.
Frankly, this ability was amazing, and he was glad that he charged forward previously.
He couldn't wait to go back to the Underworld and started to craft various legendary items.
Still, he had another reward that he needed to check.
'Bouchujutsu Mastery...'
"..."
Was there even a need to explain?
---
"Riser-sama!" 2x
Ni and Li were happy when they saw Riser had recovered.
There were no traces of wounds or brushes from his previous battle.
He was as fit as before.
"Thank you."
Still, was it his imagination that he seemed they were even more clingy than before?
It was as if they wished to be impregnated by him.
It was probably also the same case for Magari, who walked behind him in a graceful manner as if she did nothing. The lewd woman that rode his waist like a wild beast could no longer be seen. What was seen was only the graceful and poised beauty of a Japanese woman.
Still, before he took care of Ni and Li, he needed to take care of someone first.
"Xenovia."
"Riser-sama."
Xenovia changed how she called him as she knew from now on, she would become his servant, and moreover... she didn't hate the idea of being his servant, especially after she heard the story from Ni and Li.
If it was the usual protagonist, they would feel uncomfortable being called "-sama" as they didn't feel comfortable standing above others.
However, Riser was fine with it.
He looked at Xenovia, and Xenovia also stared at him.
"..."
Why were you blushing?"
He sighed helplessly and asked, "What's your plan after this?"
"...plan?" Xenovia tilted her head, then thought for a moment before she looked at him firmly. "I want to follow you and be your peerage member! I have heard that a human can become a reincarnated devil, right?
"...or is it impossible?"
Xenovia would be lying if she wasn't nervous, especially when she had no one that she could rely on.
The only person that she could rely on was Riser, who had come to help and save her.
While others would only bow down against Sirzech Lucifer, Riser dared to fight him.
For such a man... Xenovia wanted to follow him forever.
Hearing Xenovia's request, Riser hesitated, and he could see the tense expression on Ni and Li.
Why?
It was because his peerage members were full.
Still—
"My peerage members are full, so I can't make you into my peerage members."
"I-I see..."
It was easy to tell that Xenovia was so sad.
"However, if you don't mind, I will ask my wife to make you her peerage member."
If it wasn't possible, then he might as well ask Ravel.
There was no doubt that Xenovia was full of potential, especially when she was the holder of both Excalibur Destruction and Durandal. Even if she didn't have two swords, for her, being chosen by two holy swords definitely made her special.
"You have a wife?" Xenovia was surprised.
"Yes."
"Oh." Xenovia fell in silence again, then asked, "Um, Riser-sama, can I ask another request?"
"Yes?"
"Can I become your lover and have your children?" Xenovia asked bluntly.
"....." Ni, Li, and Magari.
While they wished to mate with Riser, they were quite subtle and never expressed that intention directly as they were female. While if they were alone with him, it might be different as there was no need to be embarrassed in front of him, the problem was Xenovia talked about this matter in public!
"...let's get to know each other before that."
"Okay."
Xenovia nodded with a smile and felt optimistic as he didn't reject her.
"...."
Riser stared at Xenovia for a moment and decided not to say anything.
"Riser-sama, what about our plan after this?"
"Our plan?" Riser thought for a moment, then looked at Xenovia. "Xenovia."
"What's wrong?"
"Do you want to visit the Underworld?"
Yet, when he anticipated his homecoming, he didn't expect various troubles that were waiting for him.

Riser Phenex isn't a Villain Chapter 118 Reset | Patreon
Riser remembered a good proverb.
When one does a good deed, no one probably hears it.
However, when one does a bad deed, everyone will hear it.
However, he was different.
When he did a good deed, everyone in the Underworld needed to know.
Still, as expected, after he came to the Underworld, even though he expected that he would continue to have a lazy pig-like day, he didn't expect that he would be extremely busy. He was swamped with many things, especially in the aftermath of his problem.
After that battle at the Kuoh Academy, he naturally published his good deed on his family's media company as he had Ni and Li record his fight previously.
Not only did he fight Kokabiel, the cadre of Grigori, but he also fought Vali, the current generation of Divine Dividing, and Azazel, the leader of the Grigori, winning all of them, beating them to the pulp that two had one of their hands missing.
As for Kokabiel?
Riser truthfully exposed that Kokabiel was killed by Vali.
Why did he do this?
Was he such a good guy that he would tell the truth?
Obviously not.
He knew that Azazel wished to save Vali due to their close relationship, but what about the other fallen angel?
Was their relationship so close to Vali?
Riser didn't think so. Instead, he knew that they might feel resentment toward Vali.
After all, Vali wasn't a fallen angel. He was half-devil and half-human. Even though he was the host of the White Dragon Emperor, Albion, in the eyes of many fallen angels, he was still an outsider.
Moreover, compared to Vali, the relationship of the fallen angel was closer to Kokabiel.
When Vali was still wet on his bed, those fallen angels fought together, side by side, and they were comrades who could trust each other back.
So, there was no doubt the act of Vali killing Kokabiel would cause a lot of dissatisfaction and probably might cause another conflict among the Grigori.
Even worse, Azazel made a hasty decision, wishing to save Vali even if he had to have a truce with the devil and had all of the research data made by his fallen angel taken.
Frankly, it would be amazing if no one would complain or two since Azazel's decision was selfish.
It was selfish, but Riser had to say he didn't hate Azazel as he knew Azazel viewed Vali like his own son.
To save his son's life, Azazel could even give up his life.
If it was the others, they would move by his decision. Unfortunately, Azazel met Riser.
Moreover, they had caused him so much trouble, especially when he had to have a direct confrontation with Sirzech.
Riser didn't feel afraid to have a fight with Sirzech, but he was cautious. While he might have become powerful, he didn't have a 100% chance of winning. Sirzech was powerful as he was ten times stronger than the original Lucifer, the father of all the devils.
Facing such an irrational existence, Riser needed to be extra careful as he didn't want to lose his life.
Yet, what had happened previously forced him to face Sirzech, throwing their ambiguous face and determining their position as an enemy.
He was probably the first one who dared to do this.
Even the Old Satan Faction didn't dare to challenge Sirzech openly like him.
Did he regret this? No.
He didn't regret anything, but it was different from his family and his wife's family.
There was no doubt that with his deeds, he could be promoted to an Ultimate-Class Devil rank.
There was no doubt that it was good news for him as being an Ultimate-Class Devil would give him many privileges.
The only Ultimate-Class Devil in the Phenex House was his father, Lord Phenex, and it was all due to his position as the head of the Phenex House.
Even his older brother, Ruval Phenex, who was the heir of the Phenex House, was still a High-Class Devil.
If Riser became an Ultimate-Class Devil, there was no doubt that it would raise the Phenex House even further.
However, he couldn't be promoted due to the doubt asked by the politicians affiliated with Sirzech's clique.
Frankly, Riser didn't expect Sirzech to be so ruthless that Sirzech would kill all the devils that accompanied him to the Kuoh Academy previously.
Due to this, no one knew exactly what happened at the Kuoh Academy.
If Riser hadn't asked Ni and Li to record his fight, then his deeds would probably have been denied, and no one would have acknowledged it.
As for Serafall, Sona, Rias, and the others?
They could help him, but it definitely wasn't easy, as Sirzech definitely wouldn't let him go.
Naturally, he also knew how to play, and he also didn't expose his confrontation with Sirzech.
No, probably, he couldn't, as his family also didn't dare to, and they were scared to death, watching how Riser dared to kill Sirzech openly.
Unlike him, who was born earlier and didn't know how cruel Sirzech was, his older brothers, parents, and the others had lived quite long. They also had participated in the Devil Civil War, and they also had seen how cruel and powerful Sirzech was.
Watching Riser, who could match Sirzech and fought Sirzech openly, his family was gratified and happy.
It also made Sirzech wary of him as he also tried to fight him to death.
His image as a ruthless person was a good advertisement.
Riser dared to fight someone even if he died, and he wouldn't give up until he crippled or killed his opponent.
Facing such a crazy opponent, even if Sirzech was powerful, he didn't want to fight him, especially when the benefit of making him into an opponent was far from the disadvantage.
It was also due to this that Sirzech and his clique set up a requirement.
"As long as Riser Phenex apologizes openly to Sirzech Lucifer for his rudeness, then he will become the Ultimate-Class Devil."
Those words clearly told everyone that Sirzech didn't want to fight him, and as long as Riser apologized, everything would be cleared up.
His family definitely supported this and asked him to apologize since an apology was cheap.
Even if Riser hated Sirzech in his heart or if the apology was sincere or not, it didn't matter.
As long as Riser apologized, the position of the Ultimate-Class Devil was his.
This time, the Phenex House and the Sitri House urged him to apologize since if he could get the Ultimate-Class Devil, then would the method matter?
This time Serafall also didn't say anything as her heart was complete, feeling confused about what to do.
On one hand, Sirzech was her best friend, a comrade who had fought together during the Devil Civil War.
Meanwhile, Riser was her brother-in-law and the person her heart had ever—
Nevertheless, Serafall didn't express her opinion.
As for Sona?
What did he expect from Sona?
She might be the heir, but she was just an heir.
The ruler of the Sitri House was Lord Sitri.
Moreover, they were also in the middle of an argument.
Nevertheless, no one wished for a direct confrontation with Sirzech.
All of them asked him to apologize.
Being urged, Riser didn't say anything, and he just holed up inside the hut within the area of the resort city he created. He hadn't come out for a few days and just stayed absentmindedly, smoking, trying to numb his nerves.
Did they wish for him to lick the spit that he had thrown on the ground?
Even though it was dirty?
Did they wish for him to throw away his pride for a mere position?
"..."
He knew that it was an easy thing to do, yet when he thought of Sirzech's proud expression, he couldn't help but clench his fist tightly as his palms became bloody.
It was all due to this he gave Xenovia to others after he returned to the Underworld.
He knew he was being irresponsible, but he just needed to think this through.
Nevertheless, being unable to rely on his family and being betrayed like this put him in a foul mood.
While he knew that they thought of the best for him, they didn't understand him.
It was the case with Sona before, who wished for him to stop fighting as she was worried about him.
Riser continued to smoke as his thoughts swayed, thinking that it might be better to follow their wish and take revenge secretly.
Was pride necessary?
As long as he could take down his opponent, then it was all good, right?
Yet—
The door of his hut was opened suddenly.
"Onii-sama—" Ravel was caught in a room full of smoke. "Cough! Cough! Onii-sama, you should slow down your smoking habit!" As she covered her nose and furrowed her brows, she opened the window and used her wind manipulation to clear up the smoke inside his room.
"Ravel..."
He looked at Ravel without saying anything, and his eyes were blank.
"Geez, look how sloppy you are." Ravel was full of helplessness. "You need to have someone to watch over you."
Riser didn't say anything and continued to smoke, but his cigarette was taken by Ravel.
"Come on. You need to come out from this gloomy hut."
"...give me a little time to think."
Ravel looked at her older brother in silence and asked hesitantly, "...are you going to apologize to Sirzech-sama, Onii-sama?" Similarly, she was asked by everyone to ask Riser to apologize to Sirzech. Frankly, like others, she was stunned when her older brother dared to kill Sirzech.
If Serafall hadn't stepped in back then, then it was said that Sirzech might have died.
Nevertheless, everyone said that Sirzech was magnanimous and kind, especially when he only wished for Riser to apologize to him so Riser would be forgiven.
Ravel knew that her older brother was staying in this hut, holing up for a few days due to this problem.
"...I haven't made my decision. Give me a little more time."
Riser tried to smile as he didn't want Ravel to worry about him. "Give me a little more time; then I will return to how I used to be. You don't need to worry. Just leave me—"
Riser was unable to finish his words and widened his eyes in shock.
Ravel didn't know what she was thinking at that moment, but for one thing, she didn't regret her decision.
She took a step forward and did something that she had always wished to do yet was unable to do.
She kissed the lips of her older brother.
'Onii-sama...'
Riser Phenex isn't a Villain Chapter 119 Snowflake | Patreon
As Ravel was intoxicated by their first kiss, Riser was in shock. His head was blank, and his body was freezing, unable to think what was happening.
Usually, this wouldn't happen as he has a lot of experience in this area.
Even if Magari attacked him when he was sleeping, he was still calm, yet this?
This was different.
Being kissed by Ravel made him unable to think or give a proper reaction.
He was just stunned still as her small, pink lips were taken over his lips.
It wasn't when she was about to put her tongue inside his mouth that his sanity quickly recovered, and he was frightened.
"Ravel!"
He slapped her cheek subconsciously and caused her to collide with the bookshelf near the wall.
His breathing was heavy as he thought about what they had done.
What did they have just done?
Did they just kiss?
However, when he saw Ravel, whose cheek turned swollen due to his slap, he panicked and quickly approached her hurriedly as he healed her.
"I... I...."
"It's okay, Onii-sama." Ravel hugged him gently. "Ravel is okay." There was no blame on her voice, only love.
"...."
He fell into silence as he didn't know what he had to do.
There was no doubt that he let his little sister kiss his lips, but this also made him disgusted with himself as he knew clearly that he let himself be swallowed by his weakness.
He let Ravel pamper him and used her love toward him.
He wasn't blind and could tell Ravel's feelings toward him, yet it was also due to this that he pretended that he didn't realize it.
Frankly, he knew he was selfish as he told her to bury her feelings with his indirect action, forcing her to play the role of a good little sister when the truth was she was in love with him.
However, with their relationship as a family, could this feeling be forgiven?
Yet, he knew with this incident, there was nothing that could be hidden anymore as he wanted someone to believe in him.
"You only need to believe in yourselves. Whatever you believe, Ravel will support you."
"...even if I will have to fight Sirzech Lucifer?"
Frankly, he knew how stupid he was.
He might become powerful, but was he comparable to Sirzech? No.
His Demonic Power might have increased by nine times, but even so, he just slightly matched the true Lucifer, the father of all the Devils.
While he could become even more powerful, he needed several conditions to reach the power to overcome the original Lucifer.
However, even if Sirzech was in a normal situation, his power was ten times stronger than the original Lucifer.
Facing such an abnormal individual and even fighting against it, in the eyes of others, Riser was abnormal.
Frankly, the most natural, the most normal thing was to make an ally and follow behind the back of Sirzech, letting him become the leader of all.
Yet, how could he do that?
Riser knew he was stupid, especially when he was still weak, yet—
"Even if you fight Sirzech Lucifer."
Ravel stared at Riser's eyes, and there was no lie. Every word that came from her mouth was the truth, something that came from her heart.
"Even if the others are telling you to give up, I won't do so. Even if others think you are wrong, I will support you. I will believe in you. Whatever you do, I will be the first person who is going to stand beside you, so..."
He could only be in a daze, watching him kissing his forehead with love before hugging him gently again.
"So, be like before, okay, Onii-sama? You don't need to be afraid of anything. Believe in yourselves like how Ravel believes in you. Be the cool older brother like you always do, and... and... I am sorry for kissing you before.
"This might be Ravel's selfishness, and the last time Ravel will do something like this, but after this... after this, Ravel will return to the good little sister like before."
She felt that that kiss was enough.
She was satisfied with it, and she was going to remember it forever.
There was no doubt that the kiss was going to become her most precious memory.
Nevertheless, even if she loved the taste of that kiss and had a feeling more than a mere sibling toward him, she didn't wish to trouble him as she only wished to stay by his side and support him.
Yet... yet... it was hard to hold back her tears.
"..."
Riser looked at his little sister, who tried to hold her tears. He felt that his heart was grasped and that it made him hard to breathe.
If she wasn't his little sister...
If she wasn't his family...
Then—
Yet, the relationship between them was doomed.
Even if the devil was known for being bad, evil, and malevolent being, certain values and common sense were similar to those of a human.
However, when the others told him to apologize to Sirzech and be like a good boy like before, she was the only one who supported him and told him to do what he believed.
Even when his wife, sister-in-law, and even his family didn't support him, Ravel was the only one.
Facing such a sincere feeling, it was impossible for him to remain indifferent.
The two hugged each other for a moment, and neither said anything until Ravel said, "Then, Ravel will leave first. Ravel will wait for Onii-sama."
Yet, when she was about to leave, he didn't let her go and hugged her.
"O-Onii-sama...?"
She was stunned and surprised, but before she was able to react, he kissed her lips.
Her eyes widened before she was in tears, and she hugged him tightly.
Unlike before, there was no hesitation in his eyes and heart.
He was sure that he wanted her.
While he knew that it was taboo, he still touched it.
Even if it was forbidden, he still dared to do it.
There was no way he was going to give her to anyone.
Their chaste, full-of-love kiss had begun to change into a lewd kiss.
Their tongues were locked against each other, sucking each other deeply as they hugged each other, hoping they could become one.
Yet, this wasn't enough.
He used his wind manipulation to close the door and put her into his bed.
"Onii-sama..."
Her prim and lady-like appearance was no longer there.
Her demeanor was that of a woman and slightly disheveled due to their exchange.
Her eyes were staring at him, filled with misty and desire to give herself to him.
"It's okay..."
Her voice was full of shyness, yet her eagerness couldn't be hidden.
Facing such a request, he was a little helpless, yet he didn't deny it as he also wished for it.
"Ravel..."
"Onii-sama..."
As they looked at each other, he softly kissed her lips.
Their relationship was probably like snow crystals.
There was no doubt it was beautiful, but it was fragile and could melt away and disappear.
Nevertheless, they didn't have any regrets as from now on; they were no longer mere siblings but two pairs who loved each other.
"I love you, Onii-sama..."
Staring into her eyes, which filled with deep affection, the words that he kept deep inside his heart came out naturally.
"I love you, Ravel."
Only he was a bit hesitant to step further, but—
She pushed him down before she straddled his waist.
"I won't let you go, Onii-sama..."
Staring into his eyes obsessedly, she said those words seductively.
"..." Riser.
NOTE:
This is inevitable, okay? This is the most natural development, but what do you think?
Is this okay
