"Don't be noisy. It's in the middle of the night. Everyone is sleeping, you know? What if you wake everyone?"
Riser raised his brows, but Vali ignored him.
"DIVINE DIVIDING SCALE MAIL!"
There was no hesitation.
Vali quickly used a "Balance Breaker," as his opponent wasn't someone he could take on lightly.
No, he was going to use everything he did to defeat this guy!
Yet, why?
Why was this guy smiling?
Despite facing such a massive Demonic Power that Vali emitted and the power of Divine Dividing, Riser was as calm as ever.
Riser even had this small smirk on his lips as if everything was under his control, and Vali was nothing in his eyes.
This made Vali, who was the combination of Lucifer and the White Dragon Emperor, which were two embodiments of pride that combined together, unable to control his emotion, staring at Riser dangerously, yet he didn't approach Riser carelessly as he didn't know what Riser was planning.
"Geez, you really don't listen to people, huh? However, do you still wish to fight me even if you know that you don't have a chance against me? You should know that death is your only destination, and you only have one arm to fight me now; even so, you still dare to fight me?"
Even if Vali stared at him with a provoking gazer, Riser was still calm and asked those questions with ease.
To be honest, he was amazed by Vali's courage and stupidity. While he knew that it was quite insulting for Vali, he felt like he was facing Issei. The two of them weren't much different, and they seemed to have short-term memory loss, which caused them to provoke him all the time, even though they knew they weren't his opponents.
Was it due to the fact that he was too kind?
[Yes.]
Really?
[There is no need to hesitate as you should erase this type of opponent who has a bad head.]
Bad head... somehow Riser felt that the system was correct as he knew that Vali didn't go to school.
While Issei might seem to be more stupid than Vali, to be honest, their IQ was quite similar to each other.
Even though Vali knew that he was weak and wasn't even Riser's opponent, he still provoked Riser.
Frankly, Riser also agreed that this type of opponent should be erased as having this type of opponent was troublesome as they didn't know the word "give up" in their dictionary. However, with what he had gained, he knew Vali could only bow down to him and never dared to fight again.
Moreover, Riser felt it was too wasteful if he didn't use this bastard, as Vali was definitely a good tool.
"I am!"
Vali answered loudly without fear. "I won't forgive what you have done! Moreover, if you feel hatred toward me, then come at me instead of acting like a coward by attacking the others!"
"...."
Riser was speechless.
Coward?
Was there a coward who dared to charge into the headquarters of Grigori, facing the full-blown of all the fallen angels alone?
However, Riser knew that it was impossible for Vali to understand what he was planning.
Moreover, talking to stupid people was a waste of time.
"Sure, then. Let's fight, but let's change our location."
Riser turned, showing his back to Vali.
"...."
Vali frowned, thinking that Riser was too careless or underestimated him as Riser dared to show his back against him, yet as a dragon and the descendant of Lucifer, he was going to fight his opponent in a fair and just manner instead of using a dirty trick.
Yet—
"Oh, I dropped something."
Riser squatted down as he picked something on the ground, but watching the things that dropped by him, Vali felt his heart stop before beating so fast.
Vali's eyes widened as he was unable to believe what he had seen.
What was dropped by Riser was a photo.
Yes, a photo.
It was a photo which Riser took in Italy with Gabriel.
In the photo which had been edited, there were two children and the mother of two.
If it were others, they might not understand who those people were.
Even Riser didn't know what their identity was in the beginning. After all, he knew nothing and only came to Italy due to his "Location" ability. However, after he saw those three people, he instantly understood who those three were.
As expected, the moment Vali saw this photo, he showed a strong reaction as he was unable to believe what he had seen.
Nevertheless, Riser ignored Vali's reaction and only smiled. "Have you been to Italy? If not, then you should since there were many kind people there."
"I WILL KILL YOU, RISERRRRR!"
Vali was in a rage and unable to control his emotions since those people in the photo were three people who shouldn't be touched by anyone!
In that photo, it was a picture of Vali's mother and step-siblings.
After his father was killed, Vali's mother was separated from him, and her memory was erased so she wouldn't be involved in the supernatural world once again.
Vali was happy with it as he knew that there was no need for his mother to be in sadness and pain again. Even if she forgot about him, it was okay since he knew his existence would bring nothing but misery to her.
While Vali hated his father and grandfather, he loved his mother as she was the only person who had given him kindness.
It was also due to this that he wanted to give her happiness, and he was glad that she gained happiness, especially after she remarried and started a new family.
Yet... yet... once again, his existence brought misery to her.
Riser had brought a danger to his mother and his step-siblings!
This guy dared to touch what he shouldn't have touched!
Similarly, Albion was also in a rage due to Riser's lowly and cowardly move.
The two had decided to erase Riser from this world!
Yet, facing this anger, Riser was even more in rage!
Riser's wish was simple, and he only wished for a peaceful life.
He only wanted to spend his days with his women without being troubled by anything.
Was his wish too much?
He never asked much.
He had never troubled others, and he also wasn't a twisted guy who had an urge to kill every person who touched him slightly.
Yet, why did enemies keep coming toward him?
Why was the world so cruel toward him?
Why did he have to face so many of these troubles?
Moreover, did Vali forget who was the one who had threatened to kill him?
Did Vali forget what kind of trouble Vali had brought for him?
Did Vali think that he would do nothing and let himself be killed by him?
Don't joke around!
If you want to kill me, then I will kill you first!
However, Riser knew killing Vali would give him endless trouble, especially when he knew he might become the sinner who would make the peace of the three factions end up in failure.
Even if he had controlled the fallen angels, it didn't mean they couldn't betray him since, as long as they saw a chance, they would bring him down.
Moreover, there was also Sirzech.
If Sirzech moved, then Ajuka would also move.
Azazel was the same since Riser knew what kind of two-face hypocrite and liar this guy was.
While Serafall, his family, and the Sitri family would help him, he knew their help was limited.
By then, it wouldn't be strange for him to live in jail and be blamed for all the failures.
While there was also another path by joining the criminal, living in the darkness, Riser didn't want that as he wanted to live in the light.
Such a future definitely wasn't something that he wanted to see!
So, he was going to become cruel!
Be a demon!
Be a monster!
Become their nightmare!
For all of his enemies, he was going to make them regret and make them live in misery as he killed them slowly.
