Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 287: Homework

When one clapped their hands, they would create a clapping sound.

However, when someone with a height of 10,000 meters clapped his hands, it created a catastrophe!

The sound of his clapping hands was as loud as the explosion of the nuclear bomb, or even more.

It was so deafening that it eclipsed everything.

If there was something that many were grateful about, Riser still cared about them and used his "Wind Manipulation" to block the noise so most of them wouldn't die due to the impact of his clapping hands.

Yet, the Great Red wasn't a pushover.

The blast of energy in its mouth blasted Riser's hands, destroying them so that even Riser's bones could be seen.

However, everything was healed instantly.

Riser wasn't a Phenex for nothing, after all.

Yet, this also made him frown.

Still, as the Great Red was furious about being treated like this, Riser directly slammed this beast into the ground!

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!*

With his physical ability, demonic power, and size, the impact of this slam was enough to ruin everything within the vicinity.

Fortunately, Riser had already teleported Rias and the others away.

At this moment, no one could join their fights, and they could only watch everything in the distance in a daze.

After all, had they ever thought Riser would be this strong?

---

"The Great Red will become the winner, right?"

Yu-Long, the youngest and the cowardly Dragon King asked timidly when he saw the gigantic Riser, who brutally fought the Great Red.

*Gulp!*

If Riser became the winner, then...?

Yet, Ajuka reassured them. "It's going to be okay. There is no way for the Great Red to be defeated so easily." Even if he was surprised by Riser's power, he knew the Great Red wasn't an opponent that could be defeated so easily.

However, at that moment, no one noticed a small figure that observed the fight between Riser and the Great Red from a distance.

---

As the Great Red sunk and slammed into the ground, Riser never intended to stop there since he knew this opponent wasn't like any opponents that he had ever faced, especially when this opponent was quite tricky.

There wasn't any room for hesitation, and even if he might the surroundings, he had to kill this beast!

Summoning his Star Buster Star Blaster, the small blade on his hand grew twice as gigantic as his body.

Riser breathed deeply, and his body grew stronger several times as he activated all the items that he had kept. Even though his insides were bleeding and wounded due to the overflow of all the power that grew within his body, it didn't matter, as he would keep healing.

Still, as he raised his blazing red blade, he shouted, "Crimson Conquest!"

The gigantic blazing blade swung in the direction of the Great Red!

There was no destruction.

There was no explosion.

Only the world lost its color as this blade focused on the concept of cutting.

When everything was done, the space split along with the earth, creating a deep gull that might reach into the bottomless abyss.

"..."

Everyone was still in a daze, but when they saw Riser return to his normal size, many also started to wake up.

"Win?

"Has Riser-kun won?"

"Riser-sama?"

Those who were strong quickly woke up as their hearts filled with excitement when they thought Riser had won against the strongest being in the world.

"Dear!"

"Riser-sama!"

"Riser!"

Whether it was Sona, Rias, his women, his family, acquaintances, or those who were following him, they were all excited when they saw his victory.

Riser had won!

He won against the strongest being in the world!

When they thought about his victory, they were flushed with excitement as they thought that their race was invincible as long as Riser was by their side!

Yet—

"..."

Everyone became silent once again as a wave of terror swallowed the Underworld once again.

The Great Red that was cut by Riser suddenly appeared once again in the sky, high above, as everything in its surroundings crumbled due to the energy emitted from its body. Moreover, once again, it also gathered an enormous amount of energy within its mouth, which was enough to destroy this world, the Underworld.

At this moment, it was only a time before all of them died.

No one could stay alive from this disaster.

Everyone would die, and no one would remain within the Underworld.

Watching this, Riser let out a helpless sigh as he put down his blade. He knew he had underestimated the Great Red. Facing this being, his feeling was like those who had been killed by him before they died. Everything was meaningless, and it was pointless to fight it.

Everyone watched his actions, but no words came out of their mouths since they knew everything was hopeless.

Nevertheless, Riser could run away and leave everyone behind. Moreover, his power from "Wapu Wapu no Mi" allowed him to save those who were related to him and teleported them to the human world.

Yet—

Riser closed his eyes before he made up his mind. "Onee-chan."

"Eh?"

Serafall, whose spirit was crushed by the Great Red's might, woke up due to Riser's voice.

"Come closer."

"What's wrong?"

She approached him and felt confused, but all of a sudden, she was kissed!

Riser took Serafall's lips greedily and ignored the shock in his surroundings before pushing her away.

"Wh—"

Serafall, who had been in a daze and enjoyed that kiss, was startled, and at the same time, she got a bad premonition.

"Falbium! Michael! Baraqiel! Hold her no matter what!"

The three weren't sure, but they followed Riser's orders and stopped Serafall.

"Let me go! I will kill all of you if you don't let go of me! FALBIUM! MICHAEL! BARAKIEL! I WILL KILL YOU IF YOU DON'T LET GO OF ME! I WILL KILL YOU ALL OF YOU! I WILL KILL YOU!"

Serafall was mad, completely crazy, and used everything she could to attack them so she could reach Riser.

However, the three of them didn't even flinch and tried their best to stop Serafall.

Even if Serafall was a Maou-Class of Devil, the three of them weren't weak, and with Riser's entrustment, they knew this was the only thing they could do. Despite facing Serafall's bombardment, the three were full of injuries, but they kept her in a place no matter what.

"DON'T GO, RISER-CHAN! I BEG YOU! I BEG YOU! DON'T GO!!!!"

Serafall kept screaming, hoping to hear from him, but Riser had made up his mind.

Riser glanced at the distance before he looked at the Great Red again. He took a deep breath and made up his mind.

'Hey, System."

[Sup.]

"..."

While Riser was speechless, he also couldn't help but sigh helplessly. 'Say, if I win against this big guy, I'll get the rewards, right?'

[Of course, so don't die, okay?]

'Naturally.'

Riser then looked at Serafall for the last time and smiled. "Tell everyone that I am sorry."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Yet, Riser had made up his mind.

"Duelist!"

At that moment, a black hole emerged within the space and swallowed Riser and also the Great Red that was about to destroy the Underworld along with its attacks.

Then, what was left was just silence as they saw Riser and the Great Red completely disappear from this world.

---

"...."

Ajuka, Azazel, and the others stared into the distance and fell into silence.

With this, everything was over, right?

Yet, before Riser left, he didn't forget to finish his homework.

I feel like something will be missing without this chapter tonight.
