Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 279: Georg, who is confused

Georg.

That's his name.

While his name might be a common name, his origin wasn't common as he was the descendant of Johann Georg Faust, the man who made a pact with the legendary Devil, Mephisto Pheles.

However, this wasn't all, as he also had another identity, and that was the sub-leader of the Hero Faction on the Khaos Brigade.

Yes, he was the sub-leader of one of the factions within the terrorist organization.

For others, it might be strange, especially for him to join this organization, as with his identity, he could reach a high position easily in the world of magicians.

However, Georg knew no matter how high he stood within the world of magicians, he would never stand on the top among the supernatural world as he was just a human.

Nevertheless, someone came and met him, making him realize his true purpose in this world, and he wished to help that person, so he joined this terrorist organization to become a hero, protecting humanity from vile supernatural beings.

His action might be strange as he joined a terrorist organization to become a hero, but they needed more strength, and joining this group gave them even stronger strength as Ophis would give all the members of this organization part of her strength.

As for him?

Well, he didn't need to since, besides Johann Georg Faust, he was also one of the holders of Longinus, Dimensional Lost.

As the descendant of Johann Georg Faust, he was given many advantages that the majority didn't have, whether it was talents or resources. He got everything, learning all the magic that had been collected by his ancestor and the group created by his ancestor, which was even better than his ancestor, as his ancestor wasn't as good as him when he was young.

However, his real power came from the Dimensional Lost, which is ranked among the top four Longinus.

Yes, compared to Boosted Gear or even Divine Divider, the Dimensional Lost was stronger.

While some might feel unacceptable, when one understands the power of the Dimensional Lost, they would understand.

Dimension Lost has the ability to create a special mist that can block any attack, as well as transport anything inside of it into an artificial space. The mist can also be used to reinforce dimensions.

Dimensional Lost might not possess direct offensive capabilities, but it is the most powerful among Sacred Gears related to barriers and space; thus, it carries tremendous power over dimensions.

In fact, if the mist reaches the scale of countries, it can transfer along, as well as its people, into the Dimensional Gap to be destroyed.

Scary, right?

Yes, this Longinus could even destroy the world.

Fortunately, no users had reached such a level, including Georg, but he believed that he would reach that level soon. Frankly, when the Khaos Brigade lacked funds for their activity, he was the one who worked the most since, due to his Longinus, he was in charge of logistics.

While Georg wanted to complain as he wasn't a courier or a taxi driver, he knew that a fund was necessary, especially when they had so many people around them. While the majority of the Hero Faction might be teenagers and didn't need a salary to maintain them since everyone had been brainwashed to help the faction for the greater purpose, they still needed to eat.

If they wanted to eat, they needed food, and to buy food, they needed money.

Without being able to sell fake Phenex Tears, they could only become robbers or bandits.

While many were dissatisfied, they could do nothing since the strongest faction within the Khaos Brigade, the Old Satan Faction, was also helpless about this matter.

So, while they didn't want to, in the beginning, they continued to rob many to get their funds.

Nevertheless, what surprised him was their attacks on the Norse Myth a few days ago.

Whether it was, he or all the others were dumbfounded when they saw the mayhem within the Norse Myth. The proud gods that were born in the Viking era were either running or fighting. Many died, and it was a scene of terror that they had never thought of.

Was this Ragnarok?

This is what they thought at that time, and his expression became solemn when they thought everything was caused by the Old Satan Faction.

As the Old Satan Faction happily joined the war, causing more chaos along with the other members of the Khaos Brigade, once again, Georg was tasked to steal the immense wealth of the Norse Myth.

While Georg was helpless, he also didn't reject this idea since he didn't want to join this chaos. Nevertheless, due to Ragnarok, no one cared about the immense wealth as no one was sure whether they could stay alive during the crisis.

By then, everything went smoothly; only they quickly retreated since Thor, the strongest within the Norse Myth, went on a rampage and almost destroyed everything.

Still, as long as they got money, everything was good, and by now, all the funds were controlled by the Hero Faction.

Nevertheless, for the Old Satan Faction that could smoothly retreat and cause such destruction on the Norse Myth, Georg knew that he couldn't take them lightly, and he still needed to appear obedient as he wanted to know what they were planning.

Frankly, Georg felt that there was something strange about the Ragnarok on the Norse Myth, but he needed time to uncover this mystery.

"We will kill, Riser Lucifer!"

When those words fell, Georg's leader immediately agreed to lend Georg to the Old Satan Faction.

Riser Lucifer.

While this name might have been unfamiliar before, it had become the brightest star in the supernatural world.

Or rather, everyone knew his name, especially with all the feats he had done.

As the new Lucifer, Riser was known for his toughness and brutality, especially the fake Phenex Tears incident. Not only the members of the Old Satan Faction but many members of the Hero Faction were killed by him. Moreover, this guy was also the reason why they were forced to become robbers.

Georg hated this guy, so he was also happy when he thought that he could kill Riser.

With the confidence that came from destroying the Norse Myth, all of them moved together as they were ready to kill Riser Lucifer.

Riser might be Lucifer, but so what?

He was just a devil!

Not a God like Thor or others!

Moreover, Riser was definitely alone, especially when he was baited by a traitor within the Underworld.

Then, when Riser came, everything was settled; he was trapped, and it was time to kill him.

Only—

Georg was filled with terror when he saw Riser, and he directly wished to run away when he felt like Riser was staring in his direction!

'No, I need to run away!'

Georg felt that he needed to run away as far as possible or else he would die!

Yet—

"Silly Hide."

At that moment, Georg felt all the scenery before him change before he coughed but was unable to breathe.

"Wh-What?!"

Georg widened his eyes as he saw Riser had caught him and grasped his neck tightly.

"Hello."

Riser greeted Georg with a smile.
