Chapter 20 The Protagonist Feels This Situation Is Familiar, The Dog God Is Cruel!
After the cyan light that illuminated the place disappeared. All the ghosts and portals that Hades had created had also disappeared as if they were never there.
The green fiery candle that had originally slightly illuminated the room was also extinguished, leaving only the cyan light coming from Riser's right hand.
Riser's right hand was shrouded in cyan light in the shape of a spiral drill that spun and produced the sound of a drill.
This ability was something Riser had gotten from the system a moment ago.
Spiral Power is also known as Rasen Chikara in Japanese. Because it is easier to say, Riser chose to abbreviate the Spiral Power's name to Rasen.
Spiral Power or Rasen Energy as it was called was not actually a magic skill or anything like that, but it was a type of energy other than Qi that the system added to his body and allowed him to manipulate that energy as he wished.
The way the Rasen Energy was used was actually not limited to the form of a drill like the one in his right hand, but because he had not had much time to think before.
He chose to use the Rasen Energy to form a drill in his right hand and made it explode in all directions when he thrust it at the ghost nun.
Not only was the nun ghost destroyed in the attack, but the other ghosts and the portal Hades had created were also destroyed after being hit by the explosion of cyan light that illuminated the entire room earlier.
Fortunately, the underground room was not destroyed, otherwise Riser would have been buried alive under the ground of Misal Bael's house.
As Riser looked curiously at the drill in his right hand, he manipulated the Rasen Energy and transformed the drill in his hand into various forms. Actually this Rasen Energy was like Qi, but unlike a rank five martial artist's Qi which was difficult to mold, Rasen Energy was very flexible and easy to mold.
Riser did not know the details of this Rasen Energy, other than it was slightly superior to Qi in attack power, he felt all the fatigue in his body quickly disappear when he felt the Rasen Energy flowing through his body. It seemed that Rasen Energy also had a certain regeneration function on his body.
Riser was aware of this and how much could he actually use Rasen Energy? It seemed to have been adjusted to suit his current cultivation level.
[Host is right, Spiral Power... Cough, this Rasen Energy has been customized to grow along with your cultivation level. So the higher your cultivation level, the greater the output of Rasen Energy you can use.]
"I see."
Hearing this, Riser did not complain and was quite happy as this could also be called an increase in personal power as a villain.
He tore off Issei's face mask on his face and removed all his disguises. After returning to his original handsome appearance.
Riser grinned remembering the last sentence he had said to the ghosts before. No actually he only said that to the nun ghost, although the other ghosts heard, they were useless as they couldn't convey the message to Hades.
That nun ghost was an exception, although she had obviously been destroyed by Rasen's energy blast earlier. But in the original work, it was once mentioned that nun ghost had a rather high status in Underworld that Hades valued her more than ordinary ghosts. That nun's ghost had a way for her soul to be revived in the underworld and at the same time she could report everything that happened to Hades.
This was what Riser wanted after he pretended to be Issei earlier. That way Issei would definitely be noticed by Hades.
Of course it was the kind of bad attention where Hades would have a grudge against Issei because he ruined his plans. The Ghost King Hades in the underworld would definitely send his ghost subordinates to frequently harass Issei in the future and at the same time it would also slow down Issei's growth.
As a villain, Riser is of course happy to know that the protagonist's growth will be slower than the original work, even if it's just a little bit he will still be happy.
[Host, you're really sneaky. Intentionally pretending to be Issei so that you can pour dirty water on him.]
"Is that a compliment from you, system?"
[Of course it's a compliment, host. After all, system's official name is Ultimate Villain System.]
"I just found out you have a name like that, it sounds a bit domineering but why am I only finding out now?"
[The host didn't ask.]
Riser hummed and looked around, he was too lazy to respond to that clichéd answer. But he remembered something and asked the system, "System, if I'm not mistaken Issei's chance is also in the underground of the Lucifad Housing Complex. It shouldn't be far from here, right?"
[Host is right, from your current position. To your left or rather 40 meters from here is Issei's opportunity that he should be getting in the future.]
[Does the host want to steal that opportunity from Issei?]
"Do you need to ask about that, system? Of course I do!"
Riser wondered if the Ultimate Villain System was just a name?
[Cough, system just wants to ask.]
Without wasting any more time, Riser created a drill in one of his hands using Rasen Energy that was twice the size of his body. He then walked to the stone wall on his left and drilled straight ahead.
Not only did he cut off Issei's opportunity to solve Grayfia's housing complex problem and cure Misla's illness, but he also wanted to cut off any other opportunis Issei had in the future!
...
One hour later.
Riser returned to the surface or rather back to Misla's warehouse safely.
Grayfia and the others were happy that Riser was okay. But Grayfia was more attentive and checked Riser's body whether he had any wounds or not.
Riser smiled wryly.
"I'm fine Grayfia. By the way I also managed to solve your housing complex problem. If you go out now, you'll see that all the ghosts roaming the housing complex have disappeared."
"I already knew that a moment ago. I know it's all because of you Riser, thank you."
Grayfia smiled softly as she looked at Riser, at the same time she was also relieved that Riser looked fine after coming out of that place.
Since she couldn't hear Riser's inner voice for an hour when he was in the basement, she was already anxious thinking something bad happened to the man.
But luckily he was back safely now and managed to solve her housing complex problem at the same time.
Grayfia felt relieved and happy at the moment.
She was excited and wanted to immediately repay Riser's favor as per the promise they both agreed upon. And there was also an additional reward she wanted to give Riser, but the last one had to be in a quiet place with no one around.
Her face was a little hot at the thought.
Did she really want to do this? Well Riser had helped her a lot, so she had to repay him as best she could.
Riser nodded, he had no idea what Grayfia was thinking. He looked at Misla and Sairorg who looked relieved and happy that he had returned safely.
"Thank goodness you returned safely Mr. Riser. You must be tired why not stay here for the night? There are plenty of rooms and Miss Grayfia can also have her own room." Misla asked with a smile on her beautiful Milf face, but there was a hot look in her eyes that only Riser noticed.
Riser smiled, this Milf seemed to have something on her mind. But Riser shook his head and said, "Not to trouble you, Miss Misla. I'm not too tired and actually me and Miss Grayfia don't plan on staying in this town for much longer. The two of us should return to Kuoh soon, right Miss Grayfia?"
Seeing Riser's gaze, Grayfia naturally nodded. Although she wouldn't mind staying overnight here if Riser was really tired, but it seemed like the man wanted to leave here soon.
"Yes, Miss Misla. Sorry to decline your generous offer, but the two of us have to leave soon." said Grayfia with a faint smile with her iceberg president image that was hard to deny.
Misla who wanted to persuade the two of them immediately gave up seeing this and could only make a disappointed expression on her face.
"Well it's a pity that Miss Grayfia and Mr. Riser can't stay overnight..."
Seeing his mother's disappointed face, Sairorg who was standing beside him was confused.
Why do I get the feeling that you really want to make Mr. Riser and Miss Grayfia stay at our house?
Although there is nothing wrong with that especially after Mr. Riser cured mom's illness, but mom...
Why do I feel like your disappointed expression is too much.
Since the problems in the housing complex had already been resolved, Riser and Grayfia naturally did not stay any longer in Misla's house.
Misla and Sairorg escorted the two of them to the front of the house and bid them a friendly farewell.
As Riser got into the car with Grayfia, he certainly didn't miss the sad and reluctant look Misla hid as she watched him leave.
Riser sighed and could only shake his head. Unlike Issei in the original work who went further with Misla after successfully curing her illness, Riser did not do the same as Issei in the original work because he had something more important to take care of.
Misla is not a heroine, although she is beautiful and Riser is a little tempted by that Milf's beauty. But that's it, maybe if he has free time he can visit her in the future? Well who knows.
For now he paid more attention to the heroine sitting beside him. This silver-haired woman was more fragrant than that brown-haired Milf, Riser naturally prioritized her more.
Grayfia sometimes glanced at him a few times as if she wanted to say something but she seemed to be hesitating and didn't open her mouth a few times on the way.
Riser deliberately slowed down the car while still inside the deserted housing complex. The black clouds above the housing complex had also disappeared by now and the sky above the housing complex looked bright blue.
Grayfia felt that this quiet residential street was her chance before she and Riser got to a street with more people. So she looked at Riser who was driving beside her and said, "Riser, can you stop the car for a moment. I have something to talk to you about."
Riser slammed on the brakes to stop the car and turned to Grayfia while pretending to be confused.
"What is it Grayfia? If it's about my reward that we both agreed on. You don't need to rush, after all there's still a lot you need to handle after the ghost problem in this housing complex has been resolved. You still need to persuade the people who live here to..."
"I know, I know that... But that's not what I want to talk about, Riser..." Grayfia interrupted Riser who was not urging her to give him a reward right away and was putting her interests first.
She couldn't help but feel moved by his level of attention.
Grayfia felt ashamed of herself because earlier she was still undecided whether she should give Riser that or not. Even after Riser helped her so far to solve her problem.
Now she had thrown away her doubts and found Riser to be a very attractive man. Grayfia admitted in her heart that she now had a certain level of affection for Riser, even though she knew the other party already had a fiancé, but she was still tempted...
After all, she had never been close to another man so far. Many other men who pursued her before made her disgusted and it was difficult to like them.
Those men lacked the self-control not to stare at her body with lewd gazes and there were also those who were greedy to become the son-in-law of the Lucifuge family.
How could she like such people?
Even if they tried to please her with things like flowers or expensive jewelry. To be honest it was all useless and only made her feel disgusted by the way they blatantly wanted to please her.
Riser on the other hand was different from those guys, he at least had good self-control, the eyes he used to look at her did not have dirt like other guys, the way he treated her also did not make her feel bothered and instead felt comfortable with him.
His face was also very handsome and his inner voice that she could hear also made her even more comfortable as he never had any disgusting thoughts while being with her.
An example of a repulsive thought is like Issei's inner voice that often thinks of doing lewd things with her without having such a relationship with her.
Well let's not talk about that disgusting man now because she only wants to think about the man who is currently looking at her with a puzzled look in front of her.
Actually it looks rather cute.
Making the corners of her mouth lift involuntarily and revealing a smile that captivated the country.
Riser was mesmerized by that smile, especially since he was looking at it from a very close distance.
[Protagonist will cry with envy when she sees Grayfia smiling like that at me. Hahaha! I wonder where that person is now? Didn't he come to the Lucifad Housing Complex a few hours ago?]
Grayfia who was about to say something first before doing so suddenly frowned hearing this.
This man... At a time like this instead of just thinking of me, you're thinking of someone else and it's a man?!
Is where Issei is more interesting to your curiosity than thinking of the beautiful woman currently right in front of your face?!
Grayfia clenched her fists and could not help but want to monopolize Riser's attention for her.
At least for now and for the next few minutes.
Riser Phenex, you just have to think about me!
Riser felt something was wrong with Grayfia's gaze that suddenly turned from gentle to aggressive.
He was about to ask if something was wrong, but suddenly Grayfia leaned forward and slapped his lips!
His head was even held back by both of Grayfia's hands so that she could not turn his face away.
Riser was surprised by how domineering this woman was, but he quickly retaliated and hugged Grayfia's waist into his lap.
The two kissed passionately, their tongues both entangled with each other. Making both of them drunk while kissing in the car.
But at such a time the two forgot to close the car window, and let a man dressed in a floral shirt see the scene from a distance.
The man's face froze and his expression turned ugly.
That man was none other than the protagonist Issei!
Issei found this situation familiar and wondered why he had to experience this a second time?
The dog god is cruel!
[Ahh! Ahh! Ahhh!!! Grayfia, why? Why are you kissing another man so passionately in the car? I'm jealous! I want it too!]
[Why not me, Grayfia? I'm your fiancee! You're cheating on me with that man again, even showing it in front of my eyes... Woo... Woo... I didn't mind letting you be my concubine. But you did something like this again in front of me.]
[I... Huh? No, there's clearly something wrong here. Isn't it clear that Grayfia was threatened by that man? Just like before? Yes, it must be because of that! Grayfia was forced to kiss that bastard on the mouth because she was threatened... Grayfia, wait for me. I'll save you right now!]
The heroines who heard Issei's inner voice shook their heads.
Feeling this protagonist was pathetic, but at the same time they were also disgusted because this person seemed to have a serious brain problem.
From the inner voice they had heard all along, it seemed clear that this Grayfia had never liked Issei. Even the engagement status seemed to be forced by her grandfather and Issei.
Grayfia did not have a good relationship with Issei at all. So if Grayfia had a relationship with another man, they felt it was fine.
It's just that protagonist Issei feels cheated on...
And kept denying that Grayfia was being threatened by the man she was kissing or something.
Speaking of the man Grayfia kissed.
Was it Riser?
Some heroines realized this, especially the red-haired heroine who currently had an ugly expression on her pretty face.
Rias clenched her fists on the table shakily.
Angry, upset, feeling like something important was stolen from her.
And the thief was the silver-haired woman.
"Grayfia Lucifige! You bitch! Shameless, how dare you kiss my fiancé!"
"You just wait! Even if you kiss him, so what? I'm his fiancée! I'm the woman who's going to marry him! In the end you'll be the woman left behind."
Finished scolding the silver-haired woman from a distance.
Rias panted and drank the water on the table as she felt her throat dry after yelling so loudly.
Fortunately, the office was soundproof, so her screams couldn't be heard by everyone in the company.
Everything was fine, except for her fiancé who was currently with another woman.
Rias was feeling very competitive at the moment, and she wanted Riser to come home soon so she could start her plans sooner.
