Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 234: Fool



Chapter 234: Fool

"Strong! Strong! Strong!"

"Our Lucifer-sama is just so overwhelming!"

"Riser-chan~!"

At this moment, no one could say anything, and they could only stare in a daze as they saw Riser's might. They might have accepted Riser as their new Lucifer, but as expected, there were still many who felt that he wasn't as good as the previous Lucifer or those high-ranking within the "Rating Game."

Even though Riser had won against many strong opponents, some individuals were just too stubborn to believe the reality before them.

Still, watching how to ease Riser to defeat rank 3rd in the Rating Game, Bedeze Abaddon, their hearts shivered, wondering whether it was too late for them, especially when they felt the aura of conqueror from Riser's body.

No one really knew, but when Riser returned to the Underworld after his massacre of everyone who was related to the fake Phenex Tears, no one could look straight at him in the eyes except for those who reached a certain threshold of strength. It was like their minds, souls, and entire beings were conquered by his aura.

Many were amazed, and they knew as long as he existed, the devil would be prosperous.

Nevertheless, Bedeze, who faced Riser, was extremely helpless. To be honest, while Riser was strong, he thought that with Riser's limited experience, he could defeat him, but as expected, as a new Lucifer, he knew that he had to lose, especially when this match was nothing but to give the confidence to all the devils.

While Bedeze felt disdain at his heart, he also knew the politics, and he knew that he had to lose.

Moreover, Bedeze also knew that without the "King Piece," he was nothing.

Meanwhile, Riser got everything with his own talents, innate, something that Bedeze could only dream of.

So, Bedeze didn't mind as he also wanted to get on Riser's good side.

Yet, after they faced each other, he knew how wrong he was.

All of his peerage members had been defeated by Riser's peerage members, leaving him and Riser to have a duel.

Yet, Bedeze had to say, he didn't have any confidence to win.

As someone from an Abaddon house, Bedeze inherited the unique power of the Abaddon Clan, the Power of Hole.

The Power of Hole allows the user to create and control portals that expand and retract according to the user's will and are able to absorb attacks and reflect them as they choose. Once these holes have absorbed something in them, the user can reopen them in a different area of space nearby to release everything they've absorbed.

These spatial gaps work similarly to black holes, in which they have a gravitational pull that redirects an attack away from their target.

Hole can also be used to teleport to other locations and avoid attacks, or alternatively, even teleport portions of the user's body and even their own attacks.

There was no doubt it was a good power, and it was also the reason why Bedeze became the third rank on the "Rating Game."

However, even if he was powerful, he was still 3rd rank, and he was still defeated by the 1st rank and the 2nd rank.

Yet, when he faced the 2nd rank, there was still a chance for Bedeze to win.

As for the 1st rank?

Bedeze was helpless as the champion of the "Rating Game" wasn't for nothing.

However, Riser was different as Bedeze realized the gap of their power was simply impossible to shorten with hard work, talents, and other things.

This helpless feeling... it was more terrifying than when he faced Diehauser.

While Diehauser was skillful and defeated his opponents smartly, Riser was like a gigantic existence.

In other words, the act of struggle was simply meaningless in front of Riser.

"Azure Domination."

At that moment, everything was set ablaze in a blue color.

Usually, one would connect the blue color with calmness, yet when they saw the blue flame that was released from Riser, they realized how wrong they were.

His blue was like a rage.

It dominated, conquered, and destroyed everything.

Nothing remained.

Everything was set ablaze into nothingness.

The Power of Hole might be amazing, but there was still a limit.

Bedeze's hole might be able to absorb and then redirect the attack that came toward him before he returned it to his opponent.

However, Riser's blue flame razed the entire area!

Everything was covered in an azure color that burnt everything.

Even the "Power of Hole," which Bedeze unleashed, was burnt!

"I lose..."

Bedeze thought that he would lose in a handsome way, and the two of them would have shown a great photo together as they admitted each other's strength, yet he realized how arrogant he was.

In front of Riser, even if Bedeze held the "King Piece," everything was meaningless.

However, Bedeze didn't mind, as the one who had defeated him was everyone's dear new Lucifer.

Knowing this, Bedeze felt better as his leader was such a strong being.

Still, due to the fire, his body was burnt, but a gentle warmness suddenly enveloped it as he saw it healed.

"...this is?"

"Are you okay?"

Bedeze was surprised, but he quickly realized it was the power of Riser's.

Destruction and healing.

Everyone saw Riser's power clearly, which amazed them.

"Thank you, Lucifer-sama."

"You don't need to. I only do what I should do."

As Bedeze healed, there was no trace of hatred or anything. Instead, the relationship between the two was warm as he also showed submissive, showing incredible respect toward this young Lucifer.

This act was seen by everyone, and all of them clapped their hands warmly as they were moved by the interaction between the two.

Bedeze might have been lost, but everyone felt it was natural as his opponent was Riser Lucifer.

As everyone clapped their hands, they couldn't wait for Riser's next match against Roygun Belphegor and Diehauser Bellial.

Roygun aside, as she knew that he would lose, but she didn't mind as the purpose of this match had never been her victory. Nevertheless, watching how strong Riser was, she became curious about him.

However, Diehauser was different.

As Diehauser watched how easily Riser defeated Bedeze, he fell into silence. Many said that he should lose to Riser, so it was for everyone's future.

Yet, there was no way for him to do that.

After all, Diehauser had always upheld the righteousness and fairness. There was no way that he would agree that such unfairness would happen in the sacred game known as the "Rating Game."

Knowing this, Diehauser only shook his head when he saw how Bedeze was defeated, thinking that it was a fake match that was controlled from the beginning.

Diehauser knew that something needed to be done, as he didn't want the game that he loved the most to be tarnished by this young Lucifer.

However, there was nothing he could do with his limited power, wealth, and authority, and it was also because of this that Diehauser couldn't wait for his match with Riser Lucifer, as it was also the time when he was going to rip that fake mask.

Still, even if Riser knew what Diehauser was thinking, he could only shake his head, thinking that this guy was a fool who was easy to manipulate.

However, let's think about Diehauser later as the Youth Devil Gathering was about to start.
