Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 337: Run away!



Chapter 337: Run away!

Unlike the members of the Hero Faction, whose names weren't even mentioned as all of them had passed out and were directly defeated by Riser's aura, executives of the Hero Faction, who was also the descendant of the famous hero, still held on.

Jeanne, the former saint of the inheritor of the spirit of the Maiden of Orleans, Joan of Arc.

Heracles is the inheritor of the spirit of the Greek mythological hero, Heracles.

Siegfriedis the artificial human created from the genes of the dragon-slaying hero Siegfried.

Leonardo, the possessor of the Longinus; Annihilation Maker.

Arthur Pendragon is the descendant of King Arthur, as well as Morgan le Fay.

Le Fay Pendragon is the descendant of Morgan Le Fay as well as King Arthur.

At the moment, only they and Cao Cao could still persist and pass out. Nevertheless, their legs were weak, and it took everything to stand up.

Still, except for Arthur, they saw Riser for the first time, and they realized the terror of this Lucifer.

Yet, Cao Cao was different. Unlike others who were frightened by Riser's aura, while he was also affected, he was more furious at the fact that he was being played!

Watching the death of Azazel, Cao Cao knew that he was nothing but a scapegoat!

Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!

Cao Cao lost his calm, and he didn't even keep his spear from piercing Azazel's heart. Usually, he was the one who played his enemies, but this time, he was being played!

Whether it was him or Azazel, they were all clowns that were nothing in this person's eyes!

Moreover, he knew that no matter who was the one that really did it, he was already trapped, and no one would believe any words he would say, as from now on, he would be labeled as the killer of Azazel!

As Cao Cao tried to think of a countermeasure for how to handle this situation, Azazel suddenly disappeared and appeared in Riser's hands.

"Azazel! Azazel! Azazel!"

Riser called Azazel names several times, shaking him, trying to wake him up, but Azazel was as good as death.

At this moment, not only Riser but everyone was also shocked since they didn't expect the former governor of the Grigori to die this way!

"Hold him. I will kill all of them."

Riser gave Azazel to the fallen angel, who was standing nearby, and he could see even if Azazel had caused many troubles for the Grigori, Azazel's position in the hearts of all the fallen angels that existed in this world was still huge as Azazel was the one who guided them after they became the fallen angel.

Still, facing this theater-like performance, Cao Cao wanted to say something, yet how could Riser allow him?

Suddenly, like Azazel disappearing and appearing, Riser appeared in front of Cao Cao as he swung the blade from the Star Buster Star Blaster. Moreover, he also used "Mirror Lion," the swing which was enough to cut down the space itself.

Yet, Cao Cao didn't die, but his left arm was cut down. Before his entire being was about to be cut down by Riser, someone pulled him into the shadow.

"RISER LUCIFER!"

The shadow on the ground suddenly expanded and became so enormous that it was ready to swallow everything before thousands of sharp blades appeared at the same time, ready to cut Riser down into pieces.

Yet—

Making a grasping motion with his palm, the one who controlled the shadow realized that he had lost control of the shadow.

"Wh-What?!"

Using the power of "Kote Kote no Mi," Riser forcefully controlled this shadow field and dominated it before a figure of a small dog was held in his hand.

"Grrr!"

The small black dog was ominous as if it was a symbol of death.

"So, this is a Canis Lykaon, huh? What a cute dog."

Still, facing this small dog, Riser felt that it might be good to give it to Ravel as it could be used as a pet and a bodyguard, so he created the dango with the power of "Kibi Kibi no Mi," which allowed him to dominate the mind of an animal.

The small black dog seemed to realize how dangerous the dango on Riser was and refused to eat it, yet facing Riser's overwhelming power, there was nothing that it could do except be forcefully fed by Riser.

The moment the dango entered the mouth of the black dog, its eyes changed before it became loyal to Riser.

"Woof~! Woof~!"

The small dog showed its loyalty to Riser, licking his palm happily.

"Good dog." Riser smiled as he gently caressed its fur.

"JIN!" Suddenly, a young man in his 20s appeared out of the shadows as he had lost control of the black dog. His appearance was that of horror as he realized his connection with his Longinus: Canis Lykaon disappeared completely.

"Your name is "Kuro" from now on, okay?"

The young man, Tobio Ikuse, wanted to get Jin (a small black dog), but his collar was pulled by Cao Cao, dodging the blade of shadow that was about to stab his brain.

"J-Jin..." Tobio was shocked by Jin's aggressiveness and hostility.

Kuro, who was Jin previously, meanwhile glared at Tobio angrily as if Tobio werea stranger.

"Give up. That Lucifer-sama seems able to take control of your Longinus, or rather..."

Cao Cao felt pain as his arm was lost, and also felt sad as he saw his left arm was burnt into ashes. He knew there was no way for him to be able to recover his burnt ashes, but as Tobio had saved him, he needed to save Tobio. Lastly, he still needed Tobio's power.

Yet, the one that made him surprised the most—

"Lucifer-sama, you seem to have the ability to steal others' Sacred Gear." Cao Cao still maintained his calm smile as he looked at the blade in Riser's hand. "If I am not wrong, that blade should be a Star Buster Star Blaster. Now, I understand why you like to hunt the Hero Faction."

If there was a reason why Riser often targeted the Hero Faction, it was all because all the members of this organization were Sacred Gear users. By targeting this organization, Riser could gain a Sacred Gear.

Nevertheless, while such a power was amazing, there must be a limit.

Especially when he saw how Canis Lykaon on Riser's hands was different from when it was on Tobio's hands, riser also realized this, and it seemed that he missed something from Tobio since, except for manipulating darkness and shadow, Canis Lykaon couldn't create a powerful blade-like Tobio had done before.

"As expected of Lucifer-sama, how mighty! How powerful!" Cao Cao boasted Riser, then smiled. "If we defeat you here, then I am sure that our name will echo throughout the world as we will become the real hero."

Was it the power of the plot?

Or were they idiots?

Riser didn't know, but those small characters, whose names he didn't even remember, also came to Cao Cao's side as they tried to challenge him.

"You coward! Where's Okaa-sama?! Return Okaa-sama!"

Kunou, who couldn't wait to see her mother, cried when she saw the kidnappers of her mother.

"Calm down, Kunou. I will definitely get Yasaka back. Hold this one."

"Yes, Riser-sama."

Kunou held Kuro (Jin) in her small arms as she glared at Cao Cao and his group.

Serafall and the others also followed Riser, standing behind him as they were ready for the battle.

Xenovia and the rest also followed.

Even if they didn't say anything, the intensity and sheer pressure that came from them was enough to cause Cao Cao and the others to sweat.

"How scary..." Even so, Cao Cao didn't lose his smile.

"Where is Yasaka?" Riser asked.

"You don't need to get impatient, Lucifer-sama. Not all of the participants that I have invited have arrived yet. Please be patient since I have set up the perfect party for you that matches your status."

There was no way for Cao Cao to show Yasaka, especially when he saw how Riser could teleport Azazel or teleport himself. If he dared to show Yasaka, he was sure that Riser could take Yasaka back without even moving, and by then, he would be at a disadvantage.

Cao Cao knew that the reason why Riser didn't attack them was all due to Yasaka. If he lost Yasaka, then he knew that they were as good as dead.

Suddenly, Cao Cao realized the danger and the threat of death for the first time, yet this was nothing. After all, what kind of a hero who hadn't faced their adversity?

Moreover, Cao Cao still wanted to talk with Riser as it seemed Riser was still an interesting guy, yet he was confused as to why Riser moved his head around as if searching for something. Still, his eyes widened, and he was about to shout, but it was too late.

"You talk too much."

Suddenly, Yasaka appeared in Riser's arms.

"Okaa-sama!" Kunou was excited.

Still, due to this shout, Yasaka's eyes trembled as she opened her eyes, feeling an intense heat that made her body blaze like an inferno. "Where am—" She stopped her words as she saw the valiant figure that held her body tightly, giving her a sense of security and this strange feeling that spread to her entire body.

"Stay here."

"Ah, um."

Yasaka nodded obediently, as she felt at a loss when he let go of her.

"Okaa-sama!" Kunou hugged her mother excitedly.

"Kunou!" Yasaka was also excited to meet her daughter as she quickly realized and remembered what was happening.

Only Serafall stared at Riser in silence.

"GEORG, WE NEED TO RUN!"

Cao Cao shouted with all of his might as his eyes widened when he saw what appeared before his eyes. His heart was dreaded, and his pupils shrank in fear as he knew he was unable to dodge the blade that was about to take his life.

"Goodbye."
