Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 349: Longinus is too dangerous

Ocean.

It was an ability to create a literal ocean to trap his opponents.

If Riser had to say, it was an ability to create a world of water and trap his opponent inside. If he gave an example, it was like the ability of the "Dimensional Lost" or "Innovate Clear," but it created an ocean instead of another type of space.

While this might seem weaker than the "Dimensional Lost" that could practically control the space and barrier, or "Innovate Clear" that could create an ideal world, the "Ocean" gave him the ability to control water, so at this moment, not only he could control the fire, but also water.

While he knew that this ability might not help him that much, he knew that it was suitable for his wife as he could use "Link" to let her use this ability.

There was no doubt that he was surprised by the reward he gained from Grayfia. Still, compared to this reward, the satisfaction that came from sleeping with the wife of his enemy was more than that.

The next day, when everyone had woken up, Riser took the documents given by Suzaku and read them quietly.

Suzaku didn't say anything and just waited patiently until someone served her coffee. She was quite startled as she saw the beautiful figure of a mature maid, but she quickly thanked her.

"Thank you."

Grayfia only smiled politely and then stood behind Riser like a loyal maid.

Nevertheless, those who saw Grayfia's action knew what had happened.

"They must be sleeping together."

"I know it! He loves to take the woman of others the most!"

"Widow is his favorite type of woman!"

Riser frowned, especially when their discussions weren't particularly discreet, or they might even deliberately let him hear what they talked about, which made him speechless. Nevertheless, Grayfia didn't say anything and just stood behind him calmly, though her plump, mature thighs squeezed together as she thought about what had happened last night.

Grayfia didn't think her affair with Riser was something to be embarrassed about. Instead, she was sure someone would even look at her in jealousy if they knew she was held by him.

Still, Rias, who saw her sister-in-law fall into Riser's arms, was helpless. While she wished for her sister-in-law to remain loyal to her deceased older brother, she knew that this wasn't realistic, especially when Grayfia was in an unstable state, and it was better to be with Riser instead of a random man that she didn't know, but at the same time, she was unconvinced as it appeared that Riser was more obsessed with her.

Snorting, Rias thought that she was going to dry him tonight and showed him that she was far better than Grayfia.

"So, Azazel and Ajuka have been asking you to search for the owner of the Innovate Clear?"

"Yes." Suzaku nodded. "All the members of the Five Principal Clans were asked so."

"Why the Five Principal Clans?" Rias was confused.

"It should be because the owner of the Innovate Clear is in Japan."

"Have you found this owner?"

"No, not yet." Suzaku shook her head, but then she said, "But we found the clue."

"What is that?"

"The owner of the Innovate Clear is with the owner of Telos Karma."

"Telos Karma?'

Everyone was surprised since they hadn't expected that two Longinus users would appear together, showing how incredibly rare this chance was.

Among the billions of people, only a few of them had Sacred Gears, and Longinus owners were even rarer as there were only 13 Longinus in this world.

So, for two Longinus users to appear together was something incredible.

"Who is the owner of Telos Karma?"

"Momiji Nakiri." Suzaku didn't hide anything. "She is the little sister of the previous "Ouryuu" in the Nakiri clan."

"Ouryuu?"

"Those who are able to tame the yellow dragon in the Nakiri Clan. That's "Ouryuu," though they are about to be erased."

When she finished those words, Suzaku looked timidly at Riser.

"Do you want me to save them?" Riser asked.

The Five Principal Clans were no longer complete as the three holy beasts of the Five Principal Clans were taken away by Tiamat, leaving only the "Yellow Dragon" on the Nakiri clan and the Vermilion Bird on the Himejima Clan.

As of the moment, those three holy beasts were already in his hands as Tiamat gave him those Holy Beasts to him. Still, he wondered whether he should turn them directly into Mocking Gear or just use them as a pet.

This was something that he had been thinking about.

"No, it's okay. Unlike me, they hadn't paid a price."

It was clear from Suzaku's answer that the relationship between the five clans of the Five Principal Clans wasn't good, so even if the others were destroyed, as long as her clan remained, she didn't mind. Moreover, the Himejima clan's Holy Beast was a Vermilion Bird, which was quite similar to Riser, who was part of the Phoenix, so even if the Himejima Clan worshipped Riser as their new deity, it didn't really matter.

Riser nodded since he didn't want to save the Nakiri clan, considering this clan worshipped the Yellow Dragon, and he hated the dragon the most, especially those who thought that they could do anything.

"But why did Ajuka-sama and Azazel wish to get the Innovate Clear, Riser-sama?" Grayfia asked curiously since she had been away from the Underworld, so there were many things that she didn't know except those big matters, such as Tannin or the war with the Chinese and Hindu myth.

"Probably because they want to strengthen the field on the "Rating Game"? You know, they like to play the game the most, right?"

Riser wouldn't tell them that Ajuka and Azazel wished to trap him within the space of the Innovate Clear. They might be enemies for him, but he still had some respect for their impossible struggle, and frankly, he didn't hate Ajuka and Azazel that much since they didn't annoy him that much.

They might make him almost die due to the summoning of the Great Red, but they were enemies, and what kind of enemies would be kind to each other, right?

"So, are you interested in the Innovate Clear, dear?" Rias asked.

Hearing that answer, everyone was looking at Riser, waiting for his answer.

"No, I am interested in all Longinus in this world."

"Huh?"

"Or, rather, I plan to take all the Longinus to keep instead of leaving them to the hands of humans."

"....." Everyone.

"I know that my answer might surprise you, but not only Azazel but Ajuka died because the humans gained the power of Longinus. I feel like it is too dangerous for them to hold this power, so I am going to take them, as we don't know that they might kill someone we know."

Still, this plan of his startled all of them, and they could only stare at him in a daze, yet when they thought about the death of Ajuka and Azazel were all due to the owner of the True Longinus, they felt that it was reasonable for him to think so.

At least they couldn't allow their enemies to hold the Longinus as it was too dangerous.

"Should I try to search for the owner of the Innovate Clear and Telos Karma, Riser-sama?" Suzaku asked, thinking that it was a chance to gain his favorability.

"You might die, you know?"

"They won't kill us. They are kind anyway."

"...."

Riser's lips twitched, thinking that the world was really cruel to those kind people. Still, he didn't stop Suzaku if she wished to do so and told him to call him when she found the owner of those twos. Nevertheless, as he had made up his mind to take all the Longinus, he didn't hesitate and decided to take the first target.

He put his finger on his temple, then made an order, 'Vali, come to meet me.'
