"Yusuke Aoki, I'll grant you the honor of being called by your name for the first time." Riser strode forward, ignoring Ravel, Yubelluna, and Isabella's persuasion. He stood with the same condescending posture, two large wings made of flame bursting from his back, fire wrapping his arms all the way to his shoulders.
"Fighting alone? Well, it seems you're not completely trash." Yusuke had probably never spoken to anyone like that before, not counting the Yanderes. He wasn't used to it, but he was trying to get there.
He honestly didn't hold any hard feelings toward the man before him. It was Yusuke's fault to begin with since he had stolen the man's fianceé and was planning to steal three more. It was perfectly normal for him to be furious and hate him.
For someone like Yusuke, who always tried not to hurt others, it should have made him feel guilty, and it actually did. But because of Riser's constant arrogance and contemptuous remarks, especially about his race, looking down on him and calling him a lowly human, that guilt had faded into something insignificant and was replaced with resentment.
"Come at me, I want to see if a fried chicken like you has the ability or if you're just bark... Hmm, wait, chickens don't bark, so it's clucking, right?" Yusuke stood still, tilting his head to the side with a disdainful smirk. He had seen this pose many times in dramas and anime; it should work, right?
Well, it did.
"How dare you call me that name! Bastard, die!" Riser had never felt so disrespected. This lowly, puny, dirty human dared call a noble Devil like him a fried chicken. He flung his arms wide and roared, "Hell Fire!"
A huge burst of flame shot from his palm and flew straight at Yusuke, the heat from the attack scorching the air around them. Riser was an arrogant, aggressive playboy with a holier-than-thou personality, but he was also a seasoned Devil who had participated in countless Rating Games, losing only twice, and one of those losses had been intentional.
This showed that he was exceptionally strong among his peers, largely due to the power he had inherited from his family's bloodline. After all, Riser was like the majority of the noble Devils; they never train and rely only on the power they inherited.
Yusuke didn't move or even try to dodge. When the flames were about to reach him, he opened his mouth wide and started sucking. The fire that should have burned him to a crisp was pulled straight into his mouth, the entire blaze rushing toward him as if drawn by a vacuum cleaner. His stomach bulged for a moment before settling back to normal. Yusuke tapped his stomach and exclaimed in disgust, "Eww, this fire tastes awful!"
Fire Dragon Slayer Magic is a type of Dragon Slayer Magic that grants the user dragon-like traits, flame-spewing lungs, fire-resistant scales, and flaming nails. It allows the user to produce and control fire from any part of their body for both melee and ranged attacks. The flames can be manipulated in type and consistency, delivering both burning and blunt damage.
The user can consume external fire to heal and restore strength, gaining immunity to most fire attacks, though they cannot consume their own flames or those they ignite.
So even without considering the difference in their basic stats, Yusuke's possession of Fire Dragon Slayer Magic alone made Riser completely helpless against him. His most prized attacks were utterly useless, and instead of harming Yusuke, they only served to strengthen him.
"What... what was that?!!!"
"Did he just eat the fire?!"
"Is he really a human?!"
Everyone except Yusuke's women and the OCR members was utterly shocked. Even the Phenex and Gremory houses stared at the screen with wide eyes, unable to believe what they had just witnessed.
'Yusuke! He looks so amazing, I really want him to hold me tightly in his strong arms. Hyaaah, I feel like I would cum the moment he touches me~!!!' Isabella was also struggling to control herself, breathing hot, foggy air, her large breasts bouncing with each breath, a dark wet patch spreading across her jeans.
Meanwhile, Yubelluna gripped her magical staff between her legs, grinding it against her pussy as she stared at Yusuke with her heart-shaped, obsessive eyes.
'As expected of Yusuke-sama, he truly is the most perfect being in existence. Even fire is nothing but food to him. Haahn! Just looking at him makes me feel so hot. Shit, my panties are already damp!' Ravel stared at Yusuke's figure with feverish worship, her breathing growing heavier until steam began rising from her mouth and nose, her eyes turning into heart shapes. A transparent line of lewd fluid dripped down her thighs. Suddenly, she remembered something. 'Shit! If Yusuke-sama wins, how am I supposed to break his relationship with Rias?!'
She wasn't the only one starting to panic. Yubelluna and Isabella felt the same way. They admired Yusuke for his abilities and felt themselves falling even deeper for him, but they also didn't want him to win. If he did, Rias would be able to break her engagement and be free to be with Yusuke, which was completely unacceptable to all of them.
"What... what did you do?! How could you eat my Hell Fire?!!!" Riser involuntarily took a step back in shock. He pointed at Yusuke with wide eyes, his voice trembling as he shouted.
"Do you think I would tell you? Do you think this is some second-rate anime where characters explain all their powers and weaknesses?" Yusuke shrugged. There was no way he would reveal his power. To him, it was common sense that skills should remain secret, especially how they worked and what their weaknesses were. It was far too stupid to explain your abilities to others, because, given time, they could easily find a way to counter them.
"You launched your attack; now it's my turn," he said. He clenched his fist, and flames erupted around it. Then he tapped the ground lightly, his figure blurring, and in the next instant, he was in front of Riser. He swung his fist forward, striking him squarely on the head.
Bang!
The fist landed on Riser's head, and what happened next was that his head and neck were completely blasted, but they did not turn into gory blood and flesh; only fire burned. Riser's body stumbled backward three steps before collapsing to the ground.
"So fast!" Yubelluna exclaimed, shocked to realize that she couldn't even follow Yusuke's movements. He was moving at godlike speed!
Less than a second later, Riser's head and neck had fully recovered, and he slowly stood up. He dusted off his red suit and spoke confidently, "I admit that, for a lowly human, your strength has surpassed my highest expectations. However! If you think you can defeat me, you can keep on dreaming! I am an Immortal. No one can defeat me!"
The Phenex House's Immortality is an incredibly powerful regenerative ability, allowing its user to restore lost limbs and recover from wounds almost instantly. However, this regeneration is entirely dependent on the user's level of Demonic energy and their mental endurance.
In other words, if the damage exceeds their Demonic energy or mental endurance, they will be unable to regenerate.
Rias, Sona, Tsubaki, and Akeno told him everything they knew about the House of Phenex, so he understood the limitations of their "Immortality." In other words, as long as Yusuke targeted their weak points, he could defeat Riser. And that was exactly what he intended to do. "You are an Immortal? We'll see about that!"
Yusuke stepped forward, closing the gap between them. To defeat him, he had to either drain Riser's Demonic energy or shatter his mental endurance. Without hesitation, Yusuke stood in front of Riser and delivered a lightning-fast kick.
"Aghhhhhh! Aghhhhhh! Aghhhhhh!!!!!!"
His leg hit Riser right between the legs. Riser froze, his eyes bulging so violently they seemed ready to pop from their sockets. He grabbed his crotch and collapsed to the ground, rolling unceasingly while hoarsely roaring in pain.
"No hard feelings, bro, but that's the fastest way to deal with you." Yusuke winced at the scene. Even though he was the one who landed the attack, he felt a sting in his heart and balls just from watching. Any man knows that when you get hit in the balls, the real pain isn't in the balls themselves but in the sharp, stinging pain that shoots straight up to your chest.
"Riser-sama! You bastard!" Excluding Yubelluna, Isabella, and Ravel, all the remaining peerage members shouted in panic and fury as they rushed toward Yusuke.
Yusuke glanced at them casually, and with a single thought, all of them, including Riser, were suddenly lifted into the air. "What is this? Put us down! Bastard!" The twins, Ni and Li, struggled frantically, glaring at Yusuke as they shouted furiously.
The other women also glared at him, struggling to break free from his control, but they were completely powerless.
"You want me to put you down?" Yusuke spoke lightly. "If that is your wish."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
By his will, he slammed them all into the ground with a violent impact. Riser and his peerage were buried in the earth, and Yusuke made sure they were all facing downward so that when he slammed them with his Telekinesis, their faces kissed the hard floor.
Swoosh!
He willed them into the air once again, and without giving them a moment to recover, he slammed them down.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
He repeated the process more than ten times before finally hearing Grayfia's cold voice.
[Riser Phenex-sama's four Pawns and Knight, retire!]
As soon as her words rang out, the figures of Ni, Li, Shuriya, Marion, and Karlamine were enveloped in light and vanished.
"Yusuke-sama is... is so strong!" Ravel stared at the scene, frozen in place. She wanted to do something to stop him and help the others, but she could do nothing. She didn't have strong fighting abilities and rarely fought at all, specializing mostly in strategizing and planning.
"This is bad!" Yubelluna could no longer hold back. She gripped her staff and pointed it at Yusuke. Even though it pained her and made her feel conflicted, she couldn't allow him to succeed. She had to help the others, because on her own, there was no way she could defeat him!
BOOMMM!
An explosion suddenly engulfed Yusuke, fire and smoke spreading over ten meters around him.
BOOMM! BOOMM!! BOOMMM!! BOOOM!!
Determined to defeat him, Yubelluna did not stop. More and more explosions erupted in the same spot, detonating over thirty times in rapid succession. The entire area was swallowed by dense smoke and flames, the ground beneath him searing and cracking under the relentless blasts.
"Yusuke!" Rias, who was watching in fascination as he destroyed Riser and his peerage, suddenly shot to her feet in horror. How did this happen?! 'Yusuke! Yusuke! You cannot be harmed, please don't be harmed!' She ran toward him with a pale face, her heart feeling as if it were squeezed tightly by a ghostly hand.
In her panic and fear, she completely forgot that Yusuke had told her about his skill called Observation Haki, which allowed him to predict attacks. Normally, no one should be able to catch him by surprise.
When she was halfway to him, the smoke suddenly dispersed as if pushed aside by some force. Revealed before her was a completely unharmed Yusuke, standing on the same spot he had been before. The area around him was utterly destroyed, except for the spot he was standing on.
