Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 7: Inevitable results

Rias wanted to talk, but no words came out of her lips.

The members of her peerage also weren't much better.

During the [Rating Game], they might have lost, but it didn't mean they had lost their spirit. They could defeat several members of Riser's peerage, so they thought they had a chance, especially with Issei.

As Sekiryuutei, Issei held an unbelievable power inside him.

Everyone thought that they had a chance.

Yet... yet...

Everything was meaningless from the beginning.

Riser might be a scumbag, a playboy, but his strength... no one could doubt it.

By now, it wouldn't be weird to call him the Ultimate-Class Devil with his strength.

Meanwhile, Riser didn't care about all of that and looked at Issei, who was burnt. It was hard to see his appearance as everything about him was burnt, including the majority of his armor had melted, but maybe because he was the holder of the Boosted Gear and was in the state of the Balance Breaker that he could hold on.

However, if Riser continued to burn him, then Issei's life was no longer there since he was on his last breath.

Still, he took a Phenex Tears and dropped it onto Issei.

Then, a miracle happened.

On his last breath, Issei started to recover, and his burnt skin healed as if he wasn't hurt. Frankly, it wouldn't be weird if he passed out, but maybe because of his obsession, he was still holding on. He looked at the man who had saved him, and he was filled with fear.

Yet, how could he not be?

The feeling of being burnt was something that was still vivid in his mind.

All he could think at that time was that it was better to die rather than be tortured.

Riser also kept the fire's temperature not too hot so it wouldn't melt Issei's body.

Frankly, killing Issei might be easy and all, but when he thought about the problem in this world, he felt Issei's existence was necessary. His dream was just to have a peaceful debauchery life with his harem, so as for the other troublesome matters, he was going to leave it to Issei as this guy was, without a doubt, going to attract all the attention of the problem in this world.

As for the system?

Riser was going to ignore it.

It was impossible for him to become a villain since it was troublesome.

As for his power? Well, he felt that it was enough.

He might not be the strongest, but he wasn't weak. Moreover, it was impossible for him to die because of his "immortality" ability. He smiled inwardly, especially when he thought about Yubelluna and the rest of his peerage members.

'Hehehe... when this is over...'

Still, maybe Issei was quite sensitive toward the perverted thought of someone else as he was also a pervert, so when Riser was thinking something perverted, he could imagine that this bastard was thinking that he was going to do something perverted to his Buchou!

When Issei thought about this, his mind was tortured, and he was extremely unwilling when he thought about that possibility.

Buchou's lips... Buchou's breasts... and Buchou's virginity.

All of them would be stolen by this bastard!

"No, I won't!"

"Hmm?"

"I WON'T LET YOU GET BUCHOU'S VIRGINITY!"

As his body was healed by the Phenex Tears, Issei felt that he could move his body. He took out the holy water that he had hidden on his gauntlet and was also boosted by his Boosted Gear before he threw it into Riser!

"This sneaky little bastard!" "

"What an uneducated slave!"

"Is this how you train your slave, Rias Gremory?!"

Everyone was stunned when they saw Issei's dirty move and scolded Rias and the rest without hesitation.

In this duel, everyone was clear about who had won, and they also appreciated Riser's gentlemanly act to heal Issei even if this guy had been taunting him, yet who would have thought that Issei would throw a sneak attack?

Being scolded definitely didn't feel good, especially for Rias and the rest, yet they could say nothing since this act was too dirty. They knew that Issei wanted to win, but the match had ended, and the victory of this duel was obvious, so this despicable act was something they frowned upon.

However, they could do nothing.

Only Issei thought that it was his victory, yet...

*Sizzle!*

The sizzling sound sounded, and before the holy water reached Riser, it vaporized.

"No-No way..."

Issei fell into deeper despair as the holy water could do nothing, but he didn't give up. He raised his left fist and was ready to punch Riser once again.

"After holy water, and now is a rosary?"

Yet, Issei didn't care about his mocking and just wanted to punch Riser, however—

"ARGGGGHHHHH!!!!!"

Once again, he was burnt.

The rosary melted, and his fist scorched black because of the intense temperature.

The smell of charred meat spread everywhere, causing everyone to frown, and some almost threw up vomit.

Meanwhile, Issei could only hold his fist while crying since it was too painful!

It was so painful that he was crying!

Riser had never done anything and just stood in a place, staring at Issei like an idiot. He created clothes made of flames that act as armor. Anything that touched him would be burnt or melted because of the heat alone. Naturally, he wouldn't say this and kept this technique a secret.

"It seems that you don't learn your lesson."

Issei, who was crying, was suddenly held in a place by Riser. His stomach was stomped, and he coughed painfully. He couldn't even scream now, and all he could do was look away from him in fear.

"You have been annoying me from the beginning to the end. Usually, I can kill you, but you are my fiancee's peerage member, so I won't do that."

Hearing that, Issei fell in relief and wondered whether Riser was going to give him a Phenex Tears.

However—

Riser created the flame of the blade, raising its temperature and creating a blade of plasma.

"Your dream is to become a King of Harem, right? So what if I burn your tool?"

"—?!"

Those words caused horror on his body, especially when he saw Riser put his plasma blade near his crotch!

With a single movement, then his tool would be gone! Disappeared into ash!

"No... No... please, don't..."

He was trembling in fear when he thought he would lose his tool!

"Huh? Then, you want to die?"

"No... I-I don't want to too... please forgive me... I-I don't want to lose it."

"You want me to forgive you?"

"Ye-Yes...!"

"Then, go apologize."

"I am sorry!"

"Is that how you apologize? I don't see any sincerity from you."

Issei was lost for words, but when he thought about the future when he would lose his tool... he couldn't imagine such a thing. Yet, when he thought to apologize to this bastard while bowing his head, he also felt unwilling. He looked around and tried to seek help.

Naturally, Rias and the others could see Issei's pleas.

"Onii-sama..."

Rias might not be able to defeat Riser, but she had a good brother. Still, the disappointment on her face couldn't be hidden since she knew with this, she couldn't escape from this engagement.

Sirzech let out a helpless sigh and asked, "Riser-kun, can you let him go? If it's an apology, then my little sister will do something in Sekiryuutei's place." That was the only thing he could do.

Rias opened her lips, then closed them again since she knew that was the limit.

All of her selfishness had to end here.

"Since Sirzech-sama said so, then I will forgive you." Riser looked at Issei and magnanimously said those words.

"Hii!"

Yet, Issei let out a horrible scream when he saw the plasma sword stabbed a few centimeters away between his crotch. Fortunately, the blade didn't burn his tool into the ash. Still, the heat was obvious, and he quickly moved away as he was scared.

Though he wondered whether he could be healed once again since his burnt fist was so painful.

"By the way, the Phenex Tears that I have poured on you before aren't free. You have to repay me later."

Issei was stunned, then asked curiously. "H-How much?"

"This much..."

Issei had a cardiac arrest.

---

His "Fire Manipulation Mastery" gave him mastery over all fire-related abilities and magic... there should be an explanation for this reward later.
