Raising his foot, Riser stomped Vali's side, causing the whole island to sink slightly due to the impact.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!*
"AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!
"WHY THE HELL YOU HAVE TO ATTACK ME?! WHY THE HELL YOU TRY TO PROVOKE ME?! WHY DO YOU WANT TO DESTROY MY LIFE?! CAN YOU JUST SEARCH FOR SOMEONE ELSE?! WHY CAN YOU JUST LET ME HAVE A NORMAL LIFE?!
"WHY DO YOU WANT TO FORCE ME TO BECOME A MURDER? WHY DO YOU WANT ME TO EXPERIENCE ALL OF THIS?!
"WHY?! WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY?!
"IF YOU ARE WEAK, THEN WHY YOU PRETEND LIKE YOU ARE STRONG! IF YOU ARE STRONG, THEN WHY DO YOU COME TO FIGHT ME INSTEAD OF THOSE WHO ARE ABOVE, LIKE OPHIS, AJUKA, OR EVEN THE GREAT RED?
"WHY ME?!
Riser roared with all of his might, destroying everything within the island and stopping his urge to kill Vali. It was fortunate that he had set up their meeting on the small island on the Pacific Ocean.
If their meeting was held on the mainland of Japan, he was sure that they would attract so much attention, and it was impossible to hide anything, especially with the damage caused by his anger.
After he screamed and destroyed everything, Riser slumped on the ground and just murmured.
"...I just want to have a peaceful life... why is it so difficult..."
Riser had never wished to become a villain.
Yet, why did everyone wish for him to become a villain?
Did they think that it was comfortable to kill others?
Did they think that he enjoyed this role?
Why was he forced into this role?
To be honest, killing everything would be easier, but he knew that if he killed all of those beings who interrupted him with his own hands, there was no doubt that those who were related to those who were killed by him would send their revenge at him.
Even though they knew they didn't have power, they wouldn't give up and used their everything, struggling to annoy him to death.
Kill, kill, kill, and kill.
How long did he have to endure this kind of life?
Sometimes, he thought what Ravel had proposed to him previously wasn't as bad as he thought since that way, he could have a peaceful life without being troubled by others.
Only the two of them, living together, without anyone bothering them.
Such a life definitely wasn't bad.
Yet, when he thought how those who had interrupted his life would be living in heaven, full of laughter, and standing above others, being looked up by everyone as if it was something natural, it pissed him off.
Why did he have to hide just for those cockroaches?
Why did he have to sacrifice his comfortable life just for them?
Riser suddenly wondered how everything started.
If he thought carefully, everything started with his father and Lord Gremory, who wished to engage him with Rias. By then, Sirzech, who wished his little sister to marry someone she wished to, was the holder of "Boosted Gear," Issei Hyoudou.
However, such a problem wasn't a problem anymore as Sirzech had already died.
Yet, the source of all of this problem was still living well and even comfortably.
Rias Gremory.
When Riser thought about this bitch, he suddenly felt furious as he thought that this was the source of all the trouble.
If this woman didn't exist, would he have to face all of this trouble?
Would he have to fight Vali?
Would he be forced to kill Vali's parents?
Would he be forced to create a conspiracy and manipulate everyone so many would die?
Would he be forced to become a target of hatred of that perverted dragon?
Would he be forced to become a villain?
Why did he have to work hard until he bled while feeling afraid that he might be killed the next day?
Yet, he knew that this woman was the main heroine, so he might subconsciously ignore the cause and effect caused by this woman for his life. His lust for Rias' body, appearance, and boobs blinded him, making his judgment blunt and blind as he never realized the source of all of his trouble.
However, he was no longer blind and knew that this woman was the cause of everything.
Still, what made him angry was the fact that while he faced this tough and almost tortured life, enduring everything as he was unable to say to anyone about his problem while Rias was still living well and even thought of herself as a tragic heroine who wished to make her family grow and avenge her older brother by using him and also Issei like they were her slaves.
Riser sighed and realized how stupid he was while thinking how lucky a man he was for having Sona.
Yet, at the same time, he also thought that Sona was too naive as she thought that Rias' life was pitiful.
Still, due to this, there was no hesitation anymore.
Riser then looked at Vali, who was still living, which made him sigh, thinking that the power of the plot was really amazing. However, he didn't intend to heal Vali. Instead, he manipulated Vali's memory with his "Memo Memo no Mi."
As he had said before, it would be their last time to meet each other.
In Vali's memory, Riser changed the culprit of Vali's misfortune into another person. Nevertheless, everything had to be perfect, and he had to fully erase his existence from Vali's memory except for their meeting during the attack on Kuoh so Vali wouldn't question the strangeness that happened within his memory.
The "Memo Memo no MI' was powerful and all, but once the target noticed the inconsistency within their memories, they would notice their memory had been manipulated.
It was also the reason why he had to think about what kind of memory he should put into Vali's brain carefully.
First, Riser made the culprit blur, a black existence that wasn't known by Vali.
However, behind this existence was the face of Vali's grandfather, Rizevim, so the moment Vali realized everything, he would put all the blame on Rizevim.
Yet, this wasn't enough.
Riser put another identity behind Rizevim, making this person the real source of Vali's misfortune.
As for him?
Riser was nothing but a powerful opponent that had cut Vali's left hand previously. He had nothing to do with everything that happened to Vali after that.
When he was done and everything was finished, Riser wasn't in the mood to stay or glance at Vali's face for a single second. After this, the two of them would be strangers. Still, he didn't want anyone to see how horrible his mood was, so he thought about how to solve this problem.
Still, in case someone helped Vali, he also decided to put his existence in Vali's memory since, as an important character in the story, Vali's luck was quite good.
Moreover, to play with the fire, he needed to let himself be burnt so no one would question him.
Yet, even so, he knew this wasn't perfect, but it didn't matter since what he wanted was just to bait everyone who wished to kill him so that he could clear them up altogether.
When everything was finished, suddenly, he got an idea.
Riser took his smartphone and called someone.
"Darling?"
Akeno's voice was excited, yet also relatively low, as it seemed that she was still in the Occult Research Club. Nevertheless, she didn't want to make him wait, but she knew if the others knew about their relationship, it would lead to a troublesome situation.
However, Riser didn't care about any of that.
"Akeno, prepare your luggage. Come with me on a trip."
At that moment, Riser's heart felt better as he thought he was about to put Rias in her place.
