(A/N: Riser Phenex's POV!)
How did I get to this moment? Where I looked at my peerage and told them.
"What we will do for this rating game is very simple. You will stay in our base and create the strongest barrier you can make." Said Riser looking seriously at all of them.
"But how so Brother? Wasn't I our team's strategist? Don't you trust me?" asked Ravel to her Brother with a sad face.
"It's the opposite. I trust you will be able to make a barrier strong enough to keep Diehauser Belial's entire Peerage out without causing damage to our fortress and all of you. Especially in the fact that I plan to use everything. My true form and my Longinus. Both at the same time." Stated Riser, stopping to look each one in the eye for the determination he wanted.
"But brother, you don't plan to use.... that. The repercussions of that wouldn't cause you problems?" continued Ravel nervously remembering her older brother showing his true power.
"Yes, I'm sure. Not only that I see that Diehauser will see me moving and then try to resolve the situation on his own. Not only that he will have his queen with him. I will eliminate her, and then I will make a Bang." Said Riser with a smile.
"I know I can't convince you not to do this, but be careful." Said Ravel softly. Completing in unison and together with the other members of the peerage.
"Good luck!" X10
Start of Rating Game
Flying out of the castle that had been built at high speed, at the speed of Satanic Peak, Riser flew towards Diehauser's castle, dodging the houses and trees that were there. Riser had also noticed that a full sneaky group had slipped away, they were trying to slowly sneak away from Riser to attack the members of his nobility. Riser for his part could not help but smile inwardly knowing that he had hit the nail on the head.
Before he could think any more, an ice pillar with satanic class strength was suddenly launched at Riser.
Whoosh! *
Riser called his power from his well, where there was currently an amalgam of coexisting energies. Ki (Touki), Demonic Energy, Reiatsu, Haki and much more.
Coating his fist with his energy that now enveloped him in a cocoon of flames, better known as Mana Skin, his blackened fist with his Haki and his "Touki" Aura and Ki in pure hot flames like the Sun.
And then the Fist connects to the giant ice pillar that was launched with the intention of attacking his clan's "Weakness." But upon contact with his Fist.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! *
[Boost]
The ice pillar was suddenly destroyed with a single devastating punch. The shock wave was tremendous, it looked like a mini nuclear explosion (a tactical bomb), forming a mushroom cloud that quickly dispersed. The power was so devastating that the sound of the punch reverberated more than 7 times in the dimension that had been created.
Soon after the giant ice pillar others would follow after the failure. 10 more ice launches towards, were launched from Riser. Who simply punched them and moved towards Diehauser Belial's energy.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! *
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! *
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! *
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! *
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! *
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! *
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! *
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! *
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! *
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! *
Each posing punch was another shock wave along with the punch reverberation in the Rating Game arena. After destroying all the giant ice pillars, right after the "traps" you could see there panting in a clearing in the forest right in front of his fortress. It was Diehauser Belial. The champion of the Rating games and commonly known as, The Emperor. He was looking at him with pure Shock and Horror! After all neither he himself ("Diehauser Belial") or Grayfia or Serafall would come out unscathed from these attacks.
Diehauser was panting and cautious, clearly not expecting Riser to still be here.
"Hello, Diehauser. I see, clearly your plans. I realize you sent all the members of the nobilities to "Eliminate" my members. But if I knew you would wait for me to ambush with your queen. What else did I already know would happen, right?" Said Riser clearly seeing now Diehauser with wide open eyes, in shock.
"If you know all of this. So why are we talking?" Asked Diehauser.
"No, it's nothing personal. And it's just that you're just a step on my ladder. And that I decided to keep climbing, regardless of any consequences of my actions today." Stated Riser in such a flat tone as if this would happen anyway, no matter what Diehauser and his nobility tried to prevent.
"Is that a threat? Are you going to kill someone in the match?" asked Diehauser, starting to understand what might really be about to happen.
"No, you haven't done anything wrong. And I can even say you're not bad people. And they are good people. It's just that if someone ends up dying today. It happens anyway. It's the only way." Stated Riser appeasing Diehauser's doubts, who only became more annoyed.
Before Riser could say more, he felt Diehauser's queen moving behind him. To try to hit a blow from behind. His smile widened.
With his lightning-clad chokuto lowered his hand to strike the blow right on!!! Not before Riser's hand went up and created a magic circle to block the attack as a prism shield appearing in front of him.
Shock!
BoooooooooooooooM!
Before Diehauser's [Queen] could think how such a young demon was so strong.
Whooooosh! *
Bang! *
Saliva dripped from the Queen's mouth. Riser had simply "Teleported" and struck a blow to her. Just as Riser quickly turned and landed a kick to her jaw.
BAAAAAAANG! *
Crack! *
A sound of breaking bones from her jaw was heard. Diehauser's Queen was launched at high speed as if her strings had been cut and her body was thrown to the other side of the clearing.
WHooooooosh!
"You bastard!" said Diehauser angrily upon seeing his Queen receive such brutal treatment.
[Diehauser Belial's Queen Retires!]
Riser simply decided to use "That." It was when out of nowhere everything stopped, almost as if the world had frozen, or time had stopped. But what happened was different, but essentially the same. He had used his "Adora Burst of Shō Kusakabe", thanks to the Adora Link, he used his ability. Separate Universe. ["By cooling the area around his body, Shō is able to greatly reduce the heat that causes the natural expansion of the universe and "cool it down". As a result, he is able to pause the flow of time. Time does not slow down for Shō himself, however; he remains at normal speed."]
Diehauser was still standing very angry, so without wasting time. Riser flew and landed 10 Punches in his stomachs, wrapped in Haki, Ki (Touki) and Demonic energy.
Before time returned to normal, Riser had already turned and started flying back to his group. He knew it was time to go on a big explosion. After all, Diehauser Belial should be disabled for now.
Flying back to everyone he could not stop to reflect on the whole situation.
"What a strange feeling... I feel no fear at all...I see everything clearly, no matter what the results of my actions. I'm ready to accept what will come... There's no one wrong in this situation, we can't do anything about it. Everything, because... This world is too cruel." Thought Riser in his mind as he suddenly began to gain altitude and began to glow as bright as the sun.
"WATCH OUT!" someone shouted in desperation.
The buzzing grew louder, louder, louder. Suddenly, BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! A deafening explosion shook all windows.
A giant fireball rose into the sky, as bright as another sun. It set the sky ablaze in the blink of an eye, spewing flames everywhere.
The heat was unbearable. Everyone felt their skin tingle and their hair singe. Before all members of the nobility died. Being disintegrated or even erased from existence. A blue light enveloped them, teleporting them out of this scalding hell.
After the blinding glare, it was replaced by a sinister black cloud that covered the entire sky. It was shaped like a mushroom, like those storm clouds. Only this cloud brought no rain. It spewed embers and ash everywhere.
A black rain of radioactive dust began. But before everyone could get used to this Shock. A strong wind blew all the smoke and soot away. And from the center of the explosion, there was a shape that was nowhere near human, or diabolical. All that could describe was this "Thing". A being made of flames, but not just any flames. It was the Cosmic Pyrokinesis of the Phoenix Force itself. Behind it, there was a phoenix made of flames.
Its face could not be described as one, all that could be seen as resembling a face. It was just a hole, two for eyes, one for mouth, two for nose and ears. The scourge had a mocking smile etched on its face. Almost as if it was mocking everything and everyone. The light emanating from it was sacred, corrupted, and distorted. All in one, almost as if this being should be divine, but by malice and corruption. It made it an amalgam of horror.
And with a Scream from the Phoenix the Shock wave Flew and further destroying the environment. consuming and removing an almost infinite amount of molecules per second.
Riser just hovered in the air, looking in Diehauser's direction. As if teleported, or used a Flash Step. Riser appeared much closer to him. Close enough for him to see this monstrous face of his form.
A gauntlet with a green jewel suddenly appeared on his hand. Ready to be used. His gauntlet was not consumed by the Cosmic flames, as it was an essential part of himself, since all Sacred Gears connect to the soul of their wielders.
Suddenly his body, even in a non-humanoid form was enveloped by an armor [Balance Breaker – Scale Mail].
"I, who am about to awaken, Am the Heavenly Dragon who stole the principles of domination from God, I laugh at the "infinite" and worry about the "dream", I will become the Red Dragon of Domination, '' And I will sink you into the depths of crimson purgatory!"
[BoBoBoBoBoBoBoBoBoBoBoBoBoBoBoBooBoOooOOOooooooooooBoost!]
There now was A Dragon in its final form! Still with a phoenix around it that had flames that erased everything from existence.
Riser said nothing just dropped and fell to the ground. Making a reverberating sound!
Boom!
The Dragon's mouth opened spewing fire hotter than the sun's own core. The heat emanating from the figure made even the floor. Melt, and slide between his elongated fingers.
Diehauser who had barely recovered and was still coughing. Got up. And what he had seen shocked him.
[3 Pawns of Diehauser Belial Retire!]
[2 Rooks of Diehauser Belial Retire!]
[2 Knights of Diehauser Belial Retire!]
[2 Bishops of Diehauser Belial Retire!]
Diehauser just swallowed dryly, as he looked at this. And could not help but say these words.
"I surrender. I retire from this match." Said the Then Emperor of the Rating games.
A blue light enveloped Diehauser!
[King Diehauser Belial Retires!]
[Winner of the Rating Game, Riser Phenex!]
Before the blue light enveloped him and teleported him away. He made his transformation. Now it was time for him to hear the rain of shit that would come his way.
