Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 355: Kill, Seabiscuit!

"Seabiscuit..." Sona murmured. "It's a tasteful name."

"Right?"

"..." Everyone.

Still, no one said anything and looked at the Seabiscuit curiously.

After Riser taught swordsmanship to Sona, she always learned it for several hours after she finished her job as an heir of the Sitri House. Moreover, it seemed she had a good talent for it, and unlike the others, whose innate ability helped them to give a powerful attack, the "Water Manipulation" ability of the Sitri House lacked firepower, especially in the Underworld.

In the Underworld, there weren't any oceans, and the sources of water could only be found in rivers or lakes.

With the limitedness of those water sources, Sona could only rely on her outstanding Demonic Power. Frankly, her Demonic Power wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either, so there was no doubt that having a swordsmanship that made her defeat her enemies instantly was a great thing.

"Check it. I made it from Tannin's body."

"Tannin's?"

Hearing this, Sona became curious and also surprised since it meant that the quality of this Mocking Gear should be similar to Saji's, right?

Similarly, Riser also put all the Sacred Gears that were related to Vritra into Saji's body, and it seemed Saji could do well even if he had all the Vritra Sacred Gears inside his body.

"Huh?"

Still, unlike the lawless Vrita, whose body was cut into several pieces and then transformed by several Sacred Gears by God, this Vritra knew how to be humble as he knew facing Riser was different from facing the gentle God. Yet he had to say that hearing Tannin being made into a Mocking Gear startled him.

Moreover, it was easy to tell that Riser didn't only hunt down Tannin since he also got Yu Long and Fafnir, which left Tiamat and Midgardsorm as the only living Dragon Kings.

Nevertheless, Sona took her Seabiscuit, quickly understanding its ability before she tried to change its size could be changed somehow.

"Don't point it toward me. It's dangerous."

"Huh?" Sona looked at Riser and asked, "Dear, this is...?"

"I will put the information about the Seabiscuit in your head. It is faster that way."

"Okay." Sona didn't reject it, and then all the information about the Seabiscuit entered Riser's head, which dumbfounded her.

Watching Sona's reaction, Sona's peerage members felt confused and even curious about the ability of the Seabiscuit.

"Kaichou?"

Sona rubbed her temple softly and let out a long, helpless sigh. "This is a dangerous weapon." This was her impression after she learned the ability of the Seabiscuit.

"Which weapons are not dangerous?"

"...you are right."

Even the Sacred Gears, those special weapons crafted by God, were something dangerous, or rather, a weapon needed to be dangerous. If not, what was the use of it?

"How about you try it?"

"Okay."

Sona held her Japanese sword and then pointed it in the direction where there were no people. When everyone was confused about what she was about to do, her blade glowed white and extended at high speed as if trying to impale her opponents.

"..."

No one could say anything at the moment, and they were all dumbfounded.

However, Sona could feel that the blade also carried tremendous force when extending, which made her think that it could give her another possibility.

The white flash happened for a moment, yet it caused so much shock in their minds.

"Wh-What was that?"

"So fast!"

"Scary!"

Even though it was only for a moment, the aftermath of the Seabiscuit still remained, especially when the earth, forests, and everything that passed by it were all cut down, showing how cruel, merciless, and dangerous this weapon was.

All of them fell in silence, then looked at the sword in Sona's hands. Even though its size was just normal previously, suddenly, it could extend for so long.

"Dear, its ability is..."

"Yes, its ability is simple, and that is to extend."

This was the ability of the Seabiscuit, and it was quite simple, which also originated from Tannin's ability to manipulate its horns.

"Isn't that a bit too plain, Riser-sama?" Xenovia asked with some confusion.

While Riser laughed, Sona rolled her eyes at her stupid servant. "Xenovia, do you know what the length of this sword can extend?"

"How much?"

"As long as I want to."

"....." Xenovia thought for a moment and asked, "The length is good and all, but is that all?" She was confused about why this weapon was so special.

"......" Sona sighed helplessly, then said,"However, the real power of this ability is its speed." She looked at Xenovia and asked, "Do you know what is the maximum speed of this sword to extend?"

"How much?"

"Speed of light."

"..."

Everyone looked at the sword in Sona's hands, shocked and speechless since they knew that if Sona wished to, nothing could escape from her attack, and she could kill anyone and anything instantly.

However, Sona knew that she couldn't handle the speed of light since the recoil from using such a speed wasn't something that she could handle. Nevertheless, even if she couldn't speed up this sword to the speed of light, this sword wasn't something that one could take on. The best course when they faced this sword was to dodge, but when her way of fighting was using an illusion by using a mist, how could they escape from this sword?

Looking at Sona's satisfied smile, Riser knew that she was happy with her new weapon. Moreover, as a swordsman, naturally, she wished to get a good sword, so this sword was something that she needed the most. "By the way, there is also a hidden ability inside that sword."

"Really?" Sona became even more curious.

"Yeah, but you need to explore it yourselves since if I tell you everything, it won't be fun, right?"

Like the Sacred Gear without the presence of God, his Mocking Gear could develop to the imagination and the will of the users. Moreover, he also wished for them to get stronger by using his Mocking Gears so that way all the information, abilities, and experiences would be shared with him.

So, as they grew stronger, he also grew stronger.

"Do you want to try to accept the attack of this sword, Xenovia?" Sona asked.

"Ah, um, it's okay. Thank you, Kaichou." Xenovia decided to run away.

As everyone laughed, Riser also shared the information of Sairaorg with all of them. If it was Rias, she probably wouldn't have learned the situation of her opponent, but Sona was different since she was a strategy-type fighter.

"Regulus Nemea, huh?"

"Is this Longinus strong, Riser-sama?"

"Its attack is okay, but if there is something troublesome, it is immune to a projectile type of weapon."

"Immune?!"

"Sorry, that's the wrong word. It's just that it has an automatic defense toward the projectile type of a weapon, but as long as the attack is strong enough, then this defense will be broken."

Like the legend of the Nemean Lion, which was the origin of the Regulus Nemean, if one wanted to destroy it, then it could only be done by using a physical attack as it had a strong resistance toward a projectile weapon, but as expected, if one's attack was strong enough, no matter how powerful the resistance was, everything was meaningless.

Moreover, Sairaorg's stamina wasn't unlimited, and as long as he had emptied his stamina, then the protection from the Regulus Nemean was as good as gone.

Then, as everyone trained for their match with Sairaorg, he looked at Rossweisse, who had become a new member of Sona's peerage members, and she also looked at him. Their gaze met each other, and there was only one thing that they needed to do, but he suddenly received a call.

"...." Rossweisse.

Riser was helpless, but he asked regardless, "Suzaku? What's wrong?"

"Riser-sama! Help!"

"...."

Riser took a deep breath and thought that the Five Principal Clans were really useless.
