Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 365: Saji, who is going all out!

"Genshiro Saji?" Rias was surprised when Sona's pawn decided to face Sairaorg directly. Even though many thought of Sairaorg as a talentless guy, she knew that her cousin was strong.

Even in the previous war against the Chinese and Hindu myth, Sairaorg was on a rampage, blasting many of his enemies, especially when he was under the protection of Riser, so no matter what his wounds were, he would be healed instantly. Knowing this, he was happy and even became akin to an MPV during the war.

Moreover, while she knew that this was wrong, she didn't think that Saji could match Sairaorg.

Sairaorg had a Longinus, and he was also a pure-blood devil. Meanwhile, Saji was a reincarnated devil, and while his Sacred Gear came from one of the Dragon Kings, Vritra, it was still far from the Longinus.

So, Rias was surprised when Sona decided to send Saji.

"Well, just watch."

If Riser didn't know anything and wasn't the one who trained Saji, he knew that it was impossible for Saji to defeat Sairaorg. It wasn't because Saji didn't work hard, but his upper limit was far lower than Sairaorg's.

Sairaorg might not have a talent with Demonic Energy or the Power of Destruction, but his talent for physical ability was outrageous. Moreover, as Rias said before, he had a Longinus.

Meanwhile, Saji was just a normal human before. If there was something special about him, it was that he had a Sacred Gear made from one of the Dragon Kings, Vritra. Yet, it was also his weakness since being as strong as Vritra was his limit.

If Saji had a different talent, then he might be able to become stronger.

Yet, there was no such a thing, so being as strong as Vritra was his limit.

However, Saji wasn't a dragon. He was just human and also a reincarnated devil. Even worse, he wasn't the main character, so his current strength was impossible to be as strong as the real Vritra.

It was also the same case as Issei Hyoudo, the protagonist. There was nothing about him, and his only redemption was that he wasn't ugly and also the host of the Red Dragon Emperor. Yet, it was also due to this that his strength only be limited to being as strong as the Red Dragon Emperor, which was similar to Saji.

However, Issei was the protagonist, so he would get more chances to become stronger, which was natural by using the help of Ophis and the Great Red.

Unfortunately, Issei had died, so there was no need to talk about him anymore unless he was reincarnated.

Still, at this moment, we need to talk about Saji.

So, with a power that was limited only to as strong as Vritra, could he defeat Sairaorg?

Saji might be Sairaorg's disciple, but even so, he was going to defeat him.

"I am going to defeat you, Sensei!"

"Haha! Come to me, Saji!"

Sairaorg didn't use his Longinus and raised his fist, ready to blast Saji.

Yet

"Malebolge Vritra Promotion!"

Saji didn't hesitate and used his everything directly!

In battle, one usually wouldn't use all of their power, fighting for a while to gauge each other's strength before using everything.

However, under Riser's tutelage, Saji had a different view.

If they can end the battle faster, why do they have to fight so long?

So, the moment they were about to clash, Saji directly used his every power!

Unlike before, Saji had become stronger.

Before, even though he had a Vritra type of Sacred Gear, he only had one of them, but as he was Sona's peerage member, Riser helped him to get the rest of the Vritra type of Sacred Gear and then put all of them inside his body.

Even though it was painful, Saji could control this power, and due to this, his strength grew even stronger!

"Hahaha, let's go, Saji!"

The consciousness of Vrita inside Saji roared in excitement, especially when Saji used his everything directly.

Yes, Saji used the "Balance Breaker" version of the Vritra Sacred Gear without hesitation.

Under this "Balance Breaker," his entire body was covered in the Jet-Black Dragon Armor. Moreover, it also increased his physical ability. His abilities were also enhanced as not only could he use tentacles to absorb his opponents' energy, but he could also send deadly black flames to burn his opponents, suppress the opponent's powers, and give his black flames the ability to restrain his opponents.

In this form, he also gained a sparkling white bone-colored nodachi with blades that look almost like a saw with a dragon head on the top.

Yet, more importantly, after he used this "Balance Breaker," his body would emit a deadly curse that would curse someone to death!

Even Sairaorg was stunned that his Touki was corroded by this curse, but as he was about to strengthen his Touki, it grew even stronger. As for Saji's blade, he didn't fear it and even wished to clash it with his body.

Yet, Saji decided to go all!

"Twin Kings Dragon Tail, Dragon Fang Iron Gun!"

As Saji roared and impaled his sword forward, a gigantic dragon head like a Vritra head appeared. This head was made entirely of the deadly cursed black flames with dangerous fangs that would kill anyone who was bitten.

"ROOOOOOARRRRR!!!"

This gigantic dragon head charged forward at Sairaorg and bit him to death!

"OOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!"

However, there was no way for Sairaorg to be defeated so easily. Still, his body was severely injured by the sudden powerful attacks, and the area in the surroundings was demolished. Yet, when he was about to fight back, the dragon's head suddenly blasted deadly energy into him.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!*

"SAIRAORG-SAMA!"

All of Sairaorg's peerage members were startled by this sudden change, yet they couldn't help their master as Sona and her other peerage members took them down in a group, and some of them were even easily defeated, considering Sona chose the weak target first.

At this moment, Sairaorg's peerage members were bullied by Sona.

Sona's victory was in front of the eyes.

Nevertheless, Rias and the others, who didn't know about Sona's strength, were dumbfounded since they didn't expect Saji to be this strong.

"Dear?"

"I am just helping his training."

"..."

Compared to those self-proclaimed genius or prodigy trainers, being trained by Riser was definitely far better.

Yet, it was impossible for Sairaorg to be defeated so easily.

"My lion! King of Nemea! You, who has been called King of Lions! Answer my howl and turn into my armor!"

When Sairaorg was about to lose, he started to sing, then shouted, "Balance Break!" his body suddenly exuded a golden light, trying to fight back from Saji's deadly attack.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!*

Yet, even under such a powerful attack, there was no notice about Sairaog's disappearance. Instead, what was seen in the aftermath was a tall and strong figure with a golden lion armor whose helm has a golden mane growing from it and a lion's face on his chest.

"SAIRAORG-SAMA!"

There were many people who still believed in him, and he definitely wouldn't lose so easily!
