Chapter 56 Surprise before actual surprise

"Are you still going to fight?" Ravel asked Issei who is going towards Rias.

"You are still…!" Issei asked since he defeated others together with Kiba but somehow she is unharmed.

"I, the invincible Phoenix, won't be done so easily." She then takes out a bottle with red liquid. "Are you aware of phoenix tears? This can cure any wounds without fail. Both queen and I have these in this game." Ravel said to stop Issei.

"Is that even legal?!" Issei asked since it can bring any player in the game again.

"Of course. Rules clearly state that two items are allowed per game so it's fair." Ravel said with pride. She wanted to say more but Issei just ignored her. "Hey wait! Are you ignoring me!?" Ravel said. "You are going to lose anyway! So just stand here and talk with me where it's safe!?" She said because she wanted to stall him here. It was her strategy which Riser has nothing to do anything. He is way overconfident in himself.

"Go and talk to yourself. Come any closer and I will strip your clothes off." Issei said like an angry but perverted MC. She is taken back by his resolve.

"Don't say I didn't warn you!" Ravel shouted but he just left her. "Jeez what an idiot." She was about to fly go towards when her whole body paralyzed and she falls to the ground. She doesn't know what just happened. She then saw herself with the same appearance and same demonic power. She can't believe that she can see herself now.

"Poor chicken~. Just sit here and enjoy some quiet time. Meanwhile, I will roast your brother. Hehehe." Fake Ravel said with a mischievous smile

-------

"President!!" Issei announced his arrival. "Issei Hyoudou reporting."

"Issei","Ise-san" both Rias and Asia become happy.

"So the dragon kid slips by from Ravel huh..?" Riser said because he has to deal with another trash.

"Riser sama shall I take care of that pawn?" Yubelluna asked.

"No need. I will take care of them. They will finally respect me." Riser said with pride.

"Fuck you!" Rias attacks him with a lousy Destruction spell from where he recovered in no time.

"Rias, if you keep doing this, you will make your father and Sirzechs sama look bad. I have already got a checkmate." Riser said with self-healing.

"Onii sama! I am sorry I have failed to stop him." Riser then heard his sister's voice but it has more respect than before.

"It's okay I will take care of them." Riser said.

"Shut up Riser! I will not give up. Not as long as I, the king stands by." Rias said with cliche 'Never give up' line.

"That's right I am also here," Issei said taking his stance in front of heroine. "Get back after you are done healing." He said to Asia who started to heal him.

"That's not happening," Yubelluna said and trapped Asia in the barrier.

Riser doesn't want to drag this any longer by letting recover his enemies. Issei tried his boosted gear but he gets the backlash.

"Issei!" Rias said running towards him.

"Boosted gears also harm the user. You should know this. You have reached your limits." Riser said reminding the hero like a proper villain.

"I won't give up. Let's go buchou!" Issei said in a bloody state. Then the fight started between Riser and Rias and her pawn. They both tried their best but Riser's regenerative ability can't let them. Riser beat Issei continues who like 'I won't give up' protagonist fought bravely but still get his ass kicked and Rias decided to become a useless heroine and depend on MC.

-------

"Hahaha. See this. He is the 'never give up' protagonist of the show. And our Rias who was so pumped up decided to become useless to depend on our hero. Can't believe where her brain went at the time like this." I said and shook my head. She was so like Tsunade ordering her subordinates but when a fight comes to her she became Sakura Haruno to cry for a hero.

"Don't say that for my friend. Odds are against her. What do you think she would have done?" Sona asked with an angry voice. She is also disappointed in her friend who displayed this kind of play. Tsubaki thinks the same.

"So-chan, tell me. Both Rias and You know what phoenix ability is right?" I asked.

"Yes. Its regenerative ability until their spirit broke." Sona said. She didn't say that they are immortals since if that was the case then a demon king would have been from his clan too.

"Right. And tell me what measures Rias take against his ability?" I asked then they look down. "I will ask you again. You are against a practically immortal opponent who can't be beaten down and you can't kill him. What would be an alternative?"

"Seal him," Sona answered instantly without even thinking then both of them opened their eyes wide at how unprepared her friend was.

"That's what I like about you," I said then Sona blushed and push her glasses upward. "See that's how she unprepared was. She has firepower but lacks proper strategy. If I or you were to fight with Riser, I would have taken great measures against his regenerative ability and prepare some kind of sealing magic or weapon." I said then they look sad. She knew her friend underestimated Riser's bloodline ability greatly. She could just fight with pure firepower which she has but not using properly. "I will ask you So-chan again, what is her second mistake?"

"S-she forgot about Phoenix Tears which he used more frequently in previous games. How come she forgot about that? She must have taken this into account…!" Sona can't believe how much under prepared her friend is. She must have read reports about his previous games. Even if she didn't, she must know about Phoenix tears which are prepared by her opponent's ability.

"See that's why I called her useless in this situation. Against tricky opponents like him, pure firepower won't work. He can regenerate but it doesn't mean he is invincible. If two items are allowed and the opponent is Riser then you should have known what he is bringing. That's what difference is between you and her. You said Riser has regenerative ability but she considers him immortal like other devils. If they were so immortal then a devil king must have elected from them." I said and Sona smiles proudly.

"Sigh* she is strong but she forgot or didn't prepare any drastic measures against him. She must have used some kind of poison or serum to halt his regeneration and steal Phoenix tears. What my rival was even doing?" Sona said. This information is not secretive and with her sources, she would have got this but she ignores all of this.

"Hehe. Don't worry show is not over yet. It's time for a surprise now." I said and look towards the screen. They did the same and are stunned by what they just saw.
