Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 284: Tsundere

Rias, Issei, and everyone were determined to beat the shit out of Diodora!

At this moment, their spirits were blazing as they were ready to fight, but when they were teleported into the field where their Rating Game would be held.

The field where they arrived was in the shape of a spacious space. It was lined up with thick pillars, and the ground was made from rocks. When they looked around, they also noticed a big entrance to an enormous shrine in the distance.

The shrine was similar to those that appeared in the Greek myth, but there were no broken parts, as if it had just been built recently.

The sky was white, and this was where they stood.

However, Rias felt something weird. "...this is weird."

When she said so, the others also felt the same, but soon, they noticed many lights appeared and surrounded them. There was no doubt it was a magic circle for a teleportation, but—

"It isn't the symbol of Astaroth."

Whether it was Koneko, Kiba, or Akeno, they quickly prepared themselves.

"...none of the magic circles are similar. Except..."

"They are all devils. But if my memory is correct."

When Rias released a dangerous crimson aura, she saw many devils had surrounded them, glaring at them, and from their numbers alone, they easily reached thousands of them. She took a deep breath and said, "Judging from their magic circles, they are affiliated with the Old-Maou faction of Khaos Brigade."

"?!"

Issei, who had been confused, was startled.

"Hahaha... it's the sister of the loser Lucifer!"

"Let's hurry up and kill her."

"Well, don't be in a hurry. Why don't we enjoy them for a while?"

Unlike before, Rias' status was no longer scary as she was just the heiress of the Gremory House.

Rias, whose temper wasn't good, was already enraged. No, even if one had a good temper, it was impossible for them to stay calm in front of such a confrontation.

"You should be prepared to be killed by him."

Rias had decided to kill all of them without mercy, but—

"Kyaa!"

A scream!

This voice also belongs to... Asia!

Issei panicked when he saw Asia had disappeared!

"Issei-san!"

The voice came from above, and when Issei looked up, he saw Diodora, who was carrying Asia with a lewd laugh.

"Hey, Rias Gremory and Red Dragon Emperor. I will take Asia Argento with me."

"Let go of Asia, you shit! Coward! And what is the meaning of this!? Aren't we supposed to play the game?!"

Diodora smiled evilly and laughed, but he wouldn't expose everything.

"Are you dumb? This isn't a game? All of you will die here by them! Agents of the Khaos Brigade! No matter how powerful all of you are, you won't be able to take on many high-class devils and middle-class devils, right? Hahaha, so die! Perish right away!"

Rias glared at Diodora. "Are you telling me you are connected to the Khaos Brigade? A scum, and you even defiled the game, so death would be fitting for you! More than that, you try to take away my adorable Asia away from me!"

However, Diodora was too lazy to talk with Rias. He only yawned when Rias talked, then when her words were over, he said, "Well, just try to fight them. If you can stay alive, then come to the shrine since I am waiting for you. Meanwhile, I will enjoy Asia." As he licked his lips, feeling excited due to Asia's cry, he hurriedly left by using the teleportation.

However, how could they watch Asia be taken by Diodora?!

"I won't let you!"

Lightning struck down where Diadora stood, but it was too late as Diodora had disappeared.

"ASIAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Issei cried out for Asia, but he couldn't get a reply as Asia had disappeared. Like before, he couldn't protect Asia.

"I... I...."

"Isse-kun! Stay calm! We need to take care of the enemies right in front of us first! Let's go and save Asia-san after that!"

Kiba quickly said.

To be honest, they weren't sure whether they could stay alive being surrounded by so many powerful devils.

However, Issei didn't care about any of that!

His heart was filled with rage as he would never forgive Diodora!

Yet, those from the Khaos Brigade wouldn't give them mercy, and all of them had already prepared their attacks, causing Rias and the others to be nervous.

Even Koneko and Akeno, who had been trained by Riser, weren't sure whether they could defeat so many powerful devils, and they hoped for him to save them.

"Darling!"

"Riser-sama!"

Even Rias also wished for a miracle to happen, and Riser came to save them since he was the one who could save them.

Nevertheless, Issei was in shock when he heard Rias' expression, but suddenly, he felt a shudder.

Not only Isseibut all the devils that affiliated with the Khaos Brigade felt their beings were so cold that they started being dangerous beings.

As expected, at that moment, a hand suddenly emerged from the space, tearing the space apart before he emerged in front of everyone.

"Darling!"

"Riser-sama!"

"Riser!"

When they saw Riser, who suddenly appeared, all of them were filled with hope.

Even Issei, who hated Riser incredibly, also felt relief, but at that moment, he looked in the direction of the shrine and directly ran into that place.

"Issei!"

Rias scolded Issei for suddenly running in the direction of the shrine. She knew that Issei was worried about Asia, but there was something that one should do or not, right?

Especially when Riser came to save all of them.

Moreover, did Issei not know how dangerous it was to run by himself?

However, all the enemies were stunned by Riser's aura, especially when his "Villain" was activated. In front of his aura, all the beings that were weaker than him would have no power to fight back and would quickly give up.

If there was a weaker being who could still have the will to fight him, it would be those who were related to the main protagonists or had a certain role within the story.

However, the thousands of devils in front of him definitely weren't part of the story.

"Rias, you should go back. I will handle this."

"What about Issei and Asia?" Rias quickly asked.

Riser didn't bother to say anything.

"...."

Koneko and Akeno didn't say anything, but while they didn't care about Issei, they were worried about Asia.

Gasper and Kiba said nothing, but their eyes occasionally glanced toward the direction of the shrine as they were worried about Issei.

Rias fell in silence, then said, "I-I can't leave. I need to save them. They are my cute servants, after all."

"You might lose your life, you know?"

"Even so!"

"Then, go. I will handle this place."

Rias smiled and leaped into Riser, ready to kiss him, but Riser directly pushed her away and didn't allow her to kiss him.

"Why didn't you let me kiss you?!"

"Should I throw you into the enemies now?"

"....."

Rias pursed her lips and understood what type of man Riser was.

Tsundere!

There was no doubt Riser was this type of guy!

Riser's mouth might be dishonest, but his body was definitely honest!

While Riser wasn't sure what this crazy girl was thinking, he could only scold her. "Hurry up! You might let him die there!"

"Thank you! I will give you my virginity to you later!"

"...."

While Koneko and Akeno only rolled their eyes, Gasper and Kiba sighed and felt relief, for Issei had already left since they were sure Issei's heart wouldn't be able to take it if he heard Rias' words.

However, whether Kiba or Gasper, they didn't stop Rias' advance toward Riser since they knew this was the best for the Gremory House.

"Rias, wait!"

"What's wrong?"

"Be careful of Azazel."

Rias was stunned in place, but then her face showed determination, and she nodded. "I will."

Watching them leave, Riser hasn't said anything since after this, everything would be over.

Nevertheless, as Riser and Rias seemed to flirt with each other, the Khaos Brigade was all in silence, and no one seemed ready to talk until—

"Hmph!"

A figure suddenly appeared in front of all the members of the Khaos Brigade.

"What a coward?! How could you cower in fear facing the fake Lucifer!"

Creuserey Asmodeus.

There was no doubt this man had the greatest hatred toward Riser, especially when his lover was killed by Riser.

"Now, it's time to kill—"

Before Creuserey finished his words, his body suddenly split in half, and he died.

Just like that, the descendant of the original Maou died.

Riser only moved his finger slightly, using the power "Kama Kama no Mi," killing Creuserey instantly with the blade of wind with ease. He looked at all of them and asked, "So, do you want to fight?"

"..." Everyone.

What should they do?

Was it possible for them to return and follow Riser?

Yet—

"Azure Riot."

Thousands of gigantic wind blades came and rained on them as they killed all of them without mercy.

As expected, Riser Lucifer was as tough as ever.

However, he slowed down his speed and wasn't in a hurry since if he defeated them so fast, it would be hard for a certain someone to be killed.
