Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 49: If I endure my lust, then I won't be called a devil!

The might of the firearms surprised all of them, but Serafall held his M134 "Minigun" shot in his direction.

"DIE~!"

Even if her words were cruel, Serafall still winked at Riser, who had become a living target at this moment.

Still, Riser was calm and didn't feel angry since he knew it was good that Serafall only shot him with a machine gun instead of freezing him with her ice manipulation.

*Bang! Bang! Bang!*

There was no mercy.

Serafall shot him like he was the killer of her parents.

Nevertheless, those bullets suddenly stopped and lost all of their powers.

"..." Serafall.

"WHY?!"

Serafall felt vexed!

She thought that she could have her revenge, but what was this?

The bullets she thought could ease her heart did nothing to Riser!

"Why do you think that I ask you to learn firearms?"

"Because you are rich?"

"...because there is a fire in the firearms. As long as there is a fire, even a small candlelight will become a dangerous weapon in my hand."

His words might be arrogant, but this was the truth.

As long as there was a fire, he could practically do anything.

It also included firearms.

Then, he held the FIM-92 Stinger and pulled the trigger as he aimed at the sky.

*BOOOOOM!

The warhead soared like a rocket 10,000 meters above the ground!

It flew so fast before it exploded!

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!*

The space shook, and the sky roared.

The explosion was like the roar of a mighty beast, which shocked the heart of everyone.

Everyone was in a daze and silent as they watched this explosion, feeling the slight heat from the aftermath of the explosion, even if the explosion happened 10,000 meters above the sky.

Frankly, if Riser wasn't by their sides, they were afraid that their feet might lose their powers.

Yet, at the same time, they felt an indescribable emotion in their hearts.

Serafall, who wasn't sure when had already sat on Riser's shoulders, was also in a daze and couldn't recover until a while later.

"...did you modify the warhead?"

Serafall also had often gone to the human world, and she had seen many modern weapons, but this was too much!

The warhead of the rocket launcher was too powerful!

"No, I added magic onto it. Still, this rocket launcher is a bit too expensive, so we won't use it."

Was it his imagination, but some of them seemed to be disappointed?

However, when he thought about the cost of the warhead and the income he might generate from the "Rating Game," he felt that this was a lost business.

Moreover, if his opponents were just those average high-ranking devils that he had fought ten times after his debut in the "Rating Game," then using a warhead was simply overkill.

A simple bullet was enough.

However, if his opponents were in the top 10 of the Rating Game, then he might think of using a warhead.

Still, he decided to ignore their disappointment and continued his explanation about the combination of fire magic and firearms he planned for Marion, Burent, and Shuriya to learn.

"Now, you understand why I tell you to learn firearms, right?"

"Yes."

All of them nodded at the same time as the example; they knew how powerful firearms were.

"All of the firearms haven't been modified, and I have only added a little of my magic to it."

"...little?"

They felt speechless since the last explosion was much bigger than Yubelluna's explosion magic.

As his queen, Yubelluna's specialty was explosion magic, and it was where her nickname "Bomb Queen" came from. Though she hated this nickname, the might of her explosion was the reason why she got this nickname.

Yet, her explosion was far pale compared to the warhead that was slightly added by magic by their master. It was also why the firearms he had used before had become a wreck as they emitted smoke.

"..."

Everyone somehow became excited and waited for his explanation.

He explained what kind of magic he had added to his firearms before

The first was Bullet Speed Control.

By manipulating the fire inside the bullet, he was able to accelerate the speed of the projectiles, which in turn increased the damage taken.

The second was Trajectory Control.

By controlling the fire on the bullet, he could control the trajectory of the bullets he shot through his firearms, allowing him to injure his targets from any given angle and from longer distances, and it could also be combined with Bullet Speed Control.

The third was Acceleration.

After enhancing the speed of a bullet, he created small pellets inside the said bullet, which broke the outer shell apart and hit the opponent in rapid succession.

"The fourth is Ricochet Control. Watch this."

Riser held the Luger P08 and pulled the trigger, then the bullet flew into the ground and rebounded off a surface, increasing its power and velocity. Moreover, it launched itself at the target from various sides and different angles at the same time, giving the opponent no time to react.

"....." Everyone.

Serafall was sure that the children of Sona and Riser would become powerful devils.

So what about her children with him?

"...."

Serafall thought that their children might conquer the world.

"Now, Marion, Burent, Shuriya, choose which type of firearms you want to use."

Riser wasn't sure what Serafall thought and looked at his three pawns as he explained many types of firearms, their advantages, and their disadvantages.

Hearing his explanation, the three of them had made up their minds.

"Riser-sama, I will take a pistol. Can I take two of them?" Burent asked as she felt she was more comfortable with pistols since they were small and easy to use. Nevertheless, their might was incredible, and instead of shooting from a distance, she loved to do it at a close distance so she could see the despair on her opponents' faces clearly.

"Sure."

"I will take a sniper riffle, Riser-sama." Marion thought for a moment and felt that shooting from a distance was quite good, especially when the might of the sniper was like a laser beam when magic was added.

Defeating the opponent from a distance without them realizing it, Marion felt that it was interesting.

"Riser-sama, I want the machine gun and all the big ones!" Meanwhile, Shuriya was more interested in bombs and massive explosions. She wanted to go mad and cause destruction, so she chose the big one.

"I don't mind, so learn all of those magics that I will teach you later."

"Yes!" 3x

The three of them nodded and vowed to learn with all of their might.

Riser nodded and felt satisfied, but then he felt many gazes on him. He turned and saw that all of the rest of his peerage members were looking at him with envy and hope. He sighed, then said, "You can get them too if you want."

"Yay~!"

All of them were happy, but Riser wondered why Serafall also felt happy.

"Riser-chan~! I want the one with a pink color with Magical Levia-tan written on the body of the firearm~!"

"...um, sure."

Riser had mooched his wife's family, and a single pink firearm was nothing in front of all the books that were gathered by the Sitri clan.

"Also, if you are going to have a "Rating Game," then tell me, okay~? I will watch you, Riser-chan~!"

"You don't need to worry." Riser nodded, but then Ravel asked, "Um, Onii-sama. Can I ask something?"

"What's wrong, Ravel?"

"I was just wondering..." Ravel thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of team do you want to create."

What kind of team did he want to create?

Ravel also wanted to do something and help him, but she knew she wasn't powerful enough, so she thought she wanted to help him with the strategy, but she wanted to know what kind of team he wanted to create.

"I also have thought about this question before, and fortunately, I have found the perfect phrase to describe the team I want to create."

"Phrase?"

"Yes, it is from the famous Chinese military general, then popularized by a powerful feudal Lord in Japan."

"What kind of phrase is it?" Even Serafall was curious.

"Fuurinkazan."

"Fuurinkazan? You mean... wind, forest, fire, mountain?"

Even if Riser talked in Japanese, everyone could understand it as being a devil would instantly make one understand all the languages in the world.

"Yes, I want our team to be like the wind, forest, fire, and mountain.

As swift as the wind, as gentle as forest, as fierce as fire, and as unshakable as the mountain."

Riser looked firmly at everyone and said, "That's the kind of team that I want to create."

The moment he learned this phrase, he knew that this was the best way to describe what kind of team he wished to be.

Moreover, this phrase was quite suitable for him, especially when he was born from the Phenex Family, who governed over the fire and the wind.

"...as swift as the wind, as gentle as forest, as fierce as fire, and as unshakable as the mountain."

Everyone muttered and put those words as their maxim inside their hearts.

This would be the ideology of their team.

Nevertheless, their expression on him changed, and how much they wished to enter his chamber tonight.

However, such a thing was impossible since Serafall came, so in the end, they spent their time learning all the magic that he was going to teach them as they looked at the number of firearms that existed, types, colors, and accessories for their chosen firearm.

Then, when the night came, they rested in the hot spring and ate dinner before they went back to rest.

With Serafall around, it was impossible for his peerage members to sneak into his room, so he spent a lonely night alone on his head. The only fortunate thing was that Sona would return tomorrow, so he was thinking about what kind of poses he should use on Sona tomorrow.

'Should it be this pose? No, that pose is also good.'

He fell into a dilemma since there were many things that he wanted to try on Sona's body.

Yet, he realized that a devil was a being that moved based on their emotions, so even if they knew the danger, they still charged forward.

Even if he was ready to sleep, someone suddenly slipped into his room and approached him cautiously before straddling his waist.

While the little Riser had woken up, he shivered when he thought of the consequences of jumping into the fire, but then, he took a deep breath and made up his mind.

Serafall might be strong and quite scary even if she appeared childish, but if he backed down and endured his lust, then he wouldn't be called a devil!

Riser opened his eyes as he felt excited by playing with the fire.

However—

"Riser-chan~!"

"...."

Riser blinked his eyes since he didn't expect the courageous hero who dared to invade his room under the presence of the devil king to be Serafall herself.
