As the light swelled up, the booming sound of the explosion was heard.
Yet, no one was prepared as they could only watch this disaster in a daze before they subconsciously closed their eyes and ears to protect themselves.
The camera shook for a while, and the video on the screen created a "bzzt! bzzt!" sound for a while before it recovered.
At this moment, no one talked as their hearts were filled with terror and shock.
This was the case with Issei, Rias, and many others, especially since they had fought Riser before.
When Riser and Rias were engaged to each other, they had a "Rating Game." They might have lost, but they didn't think that they would lose against Riser as they had the power to defeat Riser's peerage members, and the power of those women in Riser's peerage was just so-so.
However, when they saw their might on the screen, they started to ask a question.
Could they defeat them?
Were they just lowering their level so they would match them?
If they were hit by such a might, could they do something?
The answer was obvious.
Even if they didn't want to admit it, they knew if they faced Riser now, all that was left was only their dust.
[All the pawns of Tannin have retired.]
[All the knights of Tannin have retired.]
[All the bishops of Tannin have retired.]
[The queen of Tannin has retired.]
One by one, the announcement was heard and caused everyone's heart to shake.
Whether it was Issei or Ddraig, they were unable to say anything.
One of the Dragon Kings, Tannin, was just defeated like that.
There was no resistance.
In front of such an overwhelming power, even a dragon would die.
Meanwhile, Sirzech was in a complicated mood before he glanced at Zekram Bael, who sat close. While Sairaorg, Lord Bael, and the other associates were in shock due to Riser's magic combination, he could see Zekram Bael's expression was quite calm, yet the smile on his face was so noticeable.
Nevertheless, whatever everyone's thought at this moment had nothing to do with Riser.
Riser still calmly stood as he looked at his masterpiece.
When the explosion happened, he created a barrier of fire to protect everyone so they wouldn't be affected by their combination of magic.
The might of their combination magic was without a doubt, but as expected, if they weren't careful, they would be affected too. Moreover, their Demonic Power was emptied, so they couldn't do anything except let themselves be protected by him.
Meanwhile, Ravel, Yubelluna, Ni, Li, and all of his peerage members could only watch the might of their magic in a daze. While it wasn't their first time using this magic, it was their first time using all of their Demonic Power into this magic and combining it with Riser's wind ability. All of them might be exhausted, but there was no doubt their hearts were filled with excitement, thinking the victory was as good as theirs.
Frankly, while many thoughts of him were spending his time on research, working as an architect or accountant, or working on his physical ability, he spent most of his time developing his wind manipulation ability.
There were many notes and books about all the wind abilities developed by his ancestors and all the descendants, whether they were the main or branch families. Still, the development of the wind manipulation wasn't as good as the fire manipulation as it lacked power.
If one wanted to develop wind manipulation better, one needed to have either talent, a lot of Demonic Power, or creativity.
In other words, it was troublesome to develop wind manipulation ability.
However, the fire manipulation was different from just a basic control; it was good enough, especially when the fire of the Phenex was special.
Nevertheless, he decided to train his wind manipulation as he knew the potential of the wind manipulation ability was limitless. Moreover, it was meaningless to train his fire manipulation ability as he had mastered it. Lastly, with his "High Intelligence," it was easy for him if he wished to train or develop his abilities, and it seemed his talent for this wind manipulation was quite good.
Frankly, the "Lost Hurricane" might seem like a complicated technique, but in the end, it was just a giant tornado with a mirage from his fire manipulation.
If there was something that was complicated, it was how to gather the oxygen into the center of the tornado.
Due to the excessive oxygen inside the tornado, it slowed down the breathing and heart rate to dangerous levels.
Even a dragon needed to breathe, after all, so this move affected them so much.
Moreover, with their little brain, could they think of the countermeasure of this invisible attack?
However, Riser felt that this wasn't enough.
The sand and dust from the desert were also absorbed into the tornado, causing an even more chaotic environment inside the tornado, but what would happen when the sand, the dust, oxygen, and an explosion combined?
It would create a bigger explosion.
By this point, it wouldn't be weird if Tannin and his peerage members died.
Yet, so what?
If Tannin was a pure-blood devil and the direct line of a noble family in the Underworld, then it would be different. However, even if he was a Dragon King, he was just a reincarnated devil.
No matter how much Tannin's status had risen, he was just a slave, after all.
As expected, in that explosion, all the peerage members of Tannin were eliminated, but—
"BASTARD!"
Suddenly, something flew out of the dust.
Tannin, whose body was riddled with various wounds, flew out in rage, and he blew a gigantic fire from his mouth.
Even if the scale of this fire breathing was smaller than their explosions, for Riser's peerage members, whose side was as big as a normal human, it was already huge!
Moreover, they were unable to move as their Demonic Power was emptied.
Everyone's heart was tense as they thought about Tannin's counterattack.
Issei was happy when he saw the reversal of the fight and cheered Tannin loudly.
"Go, old man!"
Yet, when they thought they were in crisis, Riser snapped his fingers, and all the fire suddenly disappeared.
"....." Everyone.
"..." Issei.
However, Tannin surprised everyone again as he dove from a high altitude and smashed his body into Riser.
When Riser erased his fire breathing, Tannin, who was in a rage when he thought how all of his comrades and son were tortured by Riser's magic, didn't care about anything. He was going to make this young man pay for what he had done!
"DIE, BRAT!"
Tannin might be surprised, but his obsession with beating the hell shit of Riser never changed.
So, in that moment, Riser was blasted away directly, smashed by Tannin's body smash.
Tannin's power as a dragon was already outrageous, and he was also a Dragon King, so his physical ability was stronger than the majority of dragons. Moreover, due to his being reincarnated from the Queen piece, his physical ability, speed, and durability increased even more. Lastly, adding the force of falling and gravity caused his body to smash enough to crush a mountain in smithereens.
"ONII-SAMA (RISER-SAMA)!"
Ravel, Yubulla, and the others were startled when Riser blasted away, and their hearts were gloomy, filled with anger, yet when they saw Tannin staring at them with rage and red eyes, their hearts were filled with terror.
The sudden reversal changed everyone.
[Remember, partner. Don't ever make a dragon angry. When they get angry, no one can stop them. The dragon is the symbol of terror].
*Gulp!*
Hearing Ddraig's words, Issei gulped and filled with fear as he saw Tannin's aggressive appearance, yet at the same time, his heart was filled with excitement.
Nevertheless, every audience member also felt shocked and frightened as they had never seen Tannin be like this.
Even many started to panic, thinking that they should stop Tannin right away, or else he might kill Riser and his peerage members.
The wrath of the dragon.
When it happened, no one could stop it.
Yet, at the moment when Tannin was going to make Riser feel the feeling of loss he previously felt, suddenly, he felt a tremendous and powerful impact on his stomach.
The black flash radiated on the battlefield before a booming sound echoed.
Tannin, whose body was as huge as a hill, was smashed into the edge of the game field.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!*
"...." Everyone.
Everyone was in a daze again as they saw a bloody figure standing in front of Ravel and everyone.
*Gulp!*
When they thought everything was over, his figure appeared once again, bringing hope when the light was shrouded by dark clouds, piercing it with an enormous single pillar of light, telling everyone this wasn't the end.
