Riser Phenex isn't a villain Chapter 281: Slave

"Ha...?"

Diodora was confused and wondered whether Riser had gone crazy since there was no way for him to kill himself, right?

Yet, his hands moved by themselves before they grasped his neck tightly, ready to kill himself!

"Wh-What...?!"

Even if it was hard for him to talk, Diodora was scared, silly, and completely in terror as he tried to force himself to stop, but he couldn't!

Diodora couldn't control his own body, and his hands tried to kill himself!

"Riser-sama, please forgive ! Forgive ! Please don't kill ! Stop this, Riser-sama!"

Diodora kept begging Riser, completely frightened by what was happening.

What was happening?

Why did he try to kill himself?

Was this the power of the collar?

Diodora kept crying, beginning, but Riser was just sitting, staring at him blankly.

"No! No! I don't want to die! Riser-sama! Please forgive !"

This way of death was too scary!

If it was a painless death as he was unable to do anything, Diodora might not say anything since he was unable to do anything, but this way of death was just too much!

Diodora's peerage mbers were also scared, and their faces were pale as they looked at the collars on their necks, but they didn't dare to say anything as they were afraid they might also fall into the sa fate as their master.

Yet, no matter how Diodora struggled, his body wouldn't listen to him, and all of them worked together to kill himself!

"Riser-sama..."

Diodora was crying, completely in terror, as he knew his death was near, but when he was about to die, Riser said, "Stop."

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

Diodora coughed continuously as he greedily gasped for the air.

"Drink this."

A bottle of the Phenex Tears rolled by Diodora's side, which made Diodora thank Riser.

"Thank you very much! Thank you very much!"

Diodora drank the Phenex Tears without hesitation. As for the thought that it was poison or not, there was no such thing on his head as Riser could kill him anyti.

"That's a power that I have developed. Right now, whatever order that I want you to do, you can't refuse and can only follow my words."

"Please forgive , Riser-sama. I will do anything for you as long as you forgive . Whether it is won, money, or even everything on the Astaroth House, I will give them to all of you!"

Diodora had already given up since he knew no matter what he did, there was no way for him to resist Riser. Even the Old Satan Faction, who was proud of their new power, was helpless in front of Riser.

"Don't treat like a bad guy, Diodora." Riser smiled. "Weren't you the one who tried to kill ?"

"I...."

Diodora felt endless regret and could only bow his head until his head bled. "I was blind! I was being deceived! I was being forced by them! Please forgive , Riser-sama! Please..."

Riser looked at Diodora and asked curiously, "You won't threaten by using the power of Astaroth House?"

"Wh-Why you think I would do so?" Diodora tried to force his smile.

"Usually, soone like you will threaten with cliche words by saying that you can't kill since I am the young master of the Astaroth House and the little brother of Ajuka Beelzebub."

Riser perfectly mimicked the role of an enemy with a great background who was about to lose to the protagonist in the story.

"....." Diodora.

"....." Everyone.

Diodora wanted to refute, but he couldn't since he knew he really thought of sothing like that. "I-I would never say like that... M-My life is with you after all... Moreover, what can the Astaroth House do in front of your might, Riser-sama...?" He was completely helpless since he knew no matter how strong the Astaroth House was, it was aningless in front of Riser.

As for his older brother?

Even Diodora knew that Ajuka didn't care about himself.

Riser smiled and said, "However, if you really say that, I will make an order for you and everyone here to massacre all the population of the Astaroth House, making you a criminal so that you will be killed by your own family."

"...." Everyone.

"Ah, if you are worried that I might expose my deed, then you don't need to worry since I can modify your mory about , so no one will know that I am the one who make you do all of the atrocity."

"....."

"If you don't believe , I have already modified all the mories of all the individuals in this place, so you can check them when we go back."

"No, no! I believe you, Riser-sama!"

So what if Diodora didn't believe Riser?

In front of overwhelming power, Diodora could do nothing!

Still, there must be a reason why Riser didn't kill him, so his head quickly moved and asked, "If you have sothing you wish to do, please say since I will do anything for you, Riser-sama."

"You are smart." Riser smiled. "Then, tell from the beginning what you know about the Khaos Brigade and what you did after you joined this organization. Also, let's talk while we walk."

"Yes."

"Ah, let your peerage mbers prepare wine and a cigarette."

"Yes."

Under the lead of Riser, Diodora and his peerage mbers left shakily as they looked at those who had been defeated by Riser before they looked at Riser's back in fear.

Lucifer.

They clearly understood why Riser got this title.

Nevertheless, Diodora didn't waste his ti and told everything that he knew and how he joined. He even told Riser about the Ophis's snake that made him stronger, which was sothing that he recomnded to Riser as the power of Ophis really made him stronger and also the reason why he could defeat Seekvaria Agares easily.

Still, even if Diodora and the others gained this power, it was aningless in front of Riser's might, which made them helpless.

Listening to Diodora's story under the care of Diodora's won, Riser was in silence while thinking that Diodora's "Queen" was good at massage since his tense shoulders slowly loosened up and felt good.

"There is sothing that I want you to do."

"Please tell . I will do everything for you!"

Diodora hurriedly said since he knew it was his chance to show his loyalty.

"You are about to face Rias later, right?"

"Yes." Diodora nodded, but then he asked, "What do you want to do, Riser-sama? Do you want Rias? Or the other girls?"

"Do you think I am lustful like you?"

"...."

Diodora glanced at all of his won behind Riser and didn't say anything.

"Help to kill Issei Hyoudo."

"Eh?" Diodora was surprised and asked, "Just that?"

"Just that." Riser smiled and said, "I know that you are curious about sothing, but do you have the confidence to kill him?"

"I will kill him."

Even if Diodora was told to kill Rias, he was confident since, with the protection of his family, older brother, and Riser, everything was okay.

As for Issei?

Diodora could kill him as much as he wanted to.

"You don't need to be afraid, and you don't need to worry about everything. I have set up all the settings, and all you need to do now is to focus on your match."

"Yes, Riser-sama."

"Still, I will give you power and do your best to kill him."

Diodora suddenly felt that he had gained a new power within his body, and his body was flushed with excitent due to this new power.

"I will finish your order perfectly, Riser-sama!"

"I am waiting for your good news."

Riser looked at the scenery through the window and thought that he had done what he could, and now, let's see who was going to defeat whom.

---

anwhile, Creauserey, Georg, and the others, who had woken up, felt confused as to why they stood in the middle of nowhere. But when they thought about Diodora's reminder, they knew that their plan to ambush Riser had failed, but it didn't matter as there was another chance in the future.

"Riser Phenex! I will definitely avenge, Katarea!"

Creuserey shouted with a deafening roar.

Georg, who saw this, could only shake his head and used his Dinsional Lost to return everyone to their headquarters, waiting for another chance in the future to kill Riser Lucifer.
