Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 278: Die in despair!

Riser looked at Diodora, who was surrounded by his harem. "Diodora? Are you on holiday?" Still, while he had seen them before, he had to say that Diodora was really good at finding a harem member. The only bad thing was that Diodora's method wasn't classy; it was a brute method.

"No, no. I am here to court someone, Riser-sama." Diodora maintained his gentle smile.

"Court? Oh, who is it that made the young master of the Astaroth House fall so deeply that he decided to go to the human world?"

"She is one of Rias Gremory's peerage members. Asia Argento. That's her name." Diodora admitted to Riser, the girl he loved, without hesitation before he sighed sadly. "But unfortunately, Rias didn't want to exchange her bishop with me."

Riser chuckled and said, "But this isn't going to make you give up, right?"

"Of course!" Diodora nodded. "From the moment I saw her, I knew that she was the one for me, and I wouldn't give up no matter what!"

"Then, work hard."

There was no need for him to say more as he only said those words for small talk.

Diodora also knew that Riser wouldn't help him, which made him sigh inwardly, but then he smiled once again before he showed a worried and hesitant expression. "Riser-sama... there is something that I want to talk with you..."

"Talk?"

"Yes." Diodora hurriedly nodded, showing a picture of an individual who found something unbelievable. "This is a secret that I happened to find and... I think that you need to hear it, Riser-sama."

"Then, tell me now here."

Facing such an exaggerated act, Riser only said calmly.

"....I-I can't. I-I can't let anyone hear this news except for you. If possible, can you follow me to some places?"

"Why don't you tell your older brother?"

Diodora's expression became disgusting for some reason before he shook his head. "My older brother won't believe me, but you are different, Riser-sama."

Why would you think that I would listen to you?

Nevertheless, Riser was intrigued. "Then, why don't you lead me?"

"Please follow me. I will tell you when we come near our Astaroth domain since that way, no one won't be able to listen to us."

"Well, let's go."

When Rossweisse and Ravel were about to follow, Riser stopped them. "You two go back first. I will follow him."

"But..."

"Come on, Rossweisse."

Ravel stopped Rossweisse and pulled her to the train, returning to the Phenex domain in the beautiful city crafted by Riser.

"Can you guide me now?"

"Yes, please follow me."

Diodora continued to maintain a smile as he ordered members of his peerage to give Riser the best service. "Give your best service to Riser-sama."

"Yes, Diodora-sama."

"What do you want them to do?" Riser asked curiously.

"Well... I have trained them well; do you want to taste them, Riser-sama?" Diodora asked with a smile.

"...."

"No, it's okay. I have a wife, and don't talk like that again since it is disgusting."

"...yes."

When Riser emitted his aura subconsciously, Diodora quickly covered in fear, but he held on as he thought about what he planned to do and grinned inwardly, thinking about his bright future, especially when he thought about what he was about to do.

"Then, don't waste my time."

"Yes!"

Diodora felt his body tense, nervous as he realized that Riser's weightwas growing even heavier, but at the same time, he also felt humiliated, especially when he was the young master of the Astaroth House!

How dare Riser treat him like this?!

Riser didn't care about Diodora's thoughts and only felt that Diodora was disgusting. Still, it didn't mean all the devils were like Diodora. Nevertheless, he felt sorry for the girls around Diodora since it was so easy for them to be discarded by their master. Yet, even so, they still followed him faithfully.

Still, he wondered what Diodora was planning to do.

As they entered the train, Riser sat quietly in a private room with Diodora's women, who served him wine and some food as he rejected Diodora's companion.

Diodora, who was outside, also didn't care about Riser's attitude as everything would end soon.

"Diodora-sama, are you sure about this?"

"Shut up! Don't question my decision!" Diodora got angry at his "Queen" and then snorted. "Becoming a Lucifer made him arrogant, but can he maintain that attitude after this?"

Diodora's Queen still felt that this plan would end up in failure, especially when she thought the pressure emitted by Riser. Even though it was subtle, it made her give up all the resistance and know that no matter what she did, everything was meaningless.

Diodora also felt the same way, but he thought the Old Satan Faction was stronger!

In his heart, the new government was as good as it was over, and by following the Old Satan Faction, he believed he would be able to ride on this wave and rise to a greater height!

Whatever Maous were, they were nothing but fake!

Still, Diodora, who could hear the laughter of his women in Riser's private room, felt strange and slightly annoyed, thinking that he should educate them later.

Their trip didn't take too long, as Diodora was quite impatient, and soon, they reached their destination.

"Where are you going to bring me? To be honest, isn't it better for you to talk on the train before?"

"But this is important news, and I can't let anyone else hear this news except for you, Riser-sama."

"We're already in the middle of nowhere now. Why don't you tell me now?"

At this moment, they were in the countryside within the Astaroth domain. It was a place with a small number of people or, rather, none at all. If there was something that was worthy about this place, it would be the beautiful nature within their surroundings.

Diodora didn't answer Riser's question and kept staring at his watch for a while until he smiled. "Then, I will let you know that I am related to the Khaos Brigade."

"Hmm... why do you tell me now?"

"Because you need to be erased, Riser-sama."

"Good job, Diodora!"

Then, suddenly, thousands of magic circles appeared at the same time, and many figures appeared, surrounding Riser. Whether it was devils, humans, magicians, or even monsters, they were all staring at Riser dangerously.

Riser, who sat in the middle, also realized that he was trapped within a barrier, but he ignored the thousands of enemies around him. Instead, he was more interested in the barrier user who trapped him. After all, even though this place was similar, it was different, as if it was artificially created.

If there was something that was capable of doing this, there was only one, but he needed to confirm this.

How did he confirm whether his conjecture was correct?

"A barrier?"

"Hahaha... you can't go out! You can't ask for help! You are in the middle of a barrier created by Dimensional Lost! One of the strongest Longinus that is capable of destroying the world!"

The best way to confirm whether his conjecture was correct or not was by asking it directly to his opponent as he was sure that his opponent would tell him arrogantly.

As expected, a man who seemed to be the leader quickly explained to him.

"I see, a Dimensional Lost." Riser nodded, then looked at the man, who seemed to be familiar for some reason. "Oh, right, who are you?"

"....."

Everyone fell into silence.

The man who seemed to be the leader gritted his teeth in hatred as he grew his Demonic Power that was enough to crush everyone's heart, feeling hopeless by the intense fear of this man's power.

"You damn fake! Remember my name! I am the one who will kill you, the true descendant of the Four Maou; my name is Creuserey Asmodeus! Remember my name as you feel intense regret before you fall into the abyss!"

Creuserey shouted, "Die in despair as you regret your mistake of killing Katerea Leviathan!

Riser only remembered that this man was the one that he had controlled before, but he lacked an interest in this man, and this wasn't the time for them to die, so—

*BOOOOOOOOOOMM!*

At that moment, their hearts felt like they were crushed, and their brain was hit by a hammer. Their blood was drained from their bodies as none of them were able to stand before they fell one by one, and many of them directly passed out due to fear.

However, Riser didn't care about those small fries and put his focus on the one who controlled this barrier.
