Chapter 117: Let's go home, okay?

After a long treatment, Magari was exhausted and slept on his strong chest directly like a docile cat as her several tails moved gently, trying to grasp him.

Meanwhile, Riser was in silence as he thought of all the crazy things that he had done.

The matter of Magari aside, he realized how crazy he was after he calmed down.

Previously, due to being hurt and the effect of "Crisis," he was like a bull.

Nothing could stop him, and he kept charging forward crazily.

He even dared to provoke and kill Sirzech in front of everyone.

Moreover, he even pushed Sona away, which gave him a headache.

As he sighed, he decided to throw away all the troublesome matters as he thought about the quest that was given by the system before he passed out.

'Defeat Sirzech...'

Defeating Sirzech aside, the reward was amazing.

The Ruler.

It was an ability to "invert" all the magical attacks and power effects used against the user.

All attacks and weaknesses were converted into healing and fortification. Even the effects of others' powers were completely inverted.

If he gave an example, if Sirzech used the power of destruction on him instead of destroying his body, it would heal him instead.

It was the ultimate ability to invert everything.

Naturally, if someone healed him, he would be hurt.

However, such a weakness could be overcome by deactivating that power.

Yet, was it possible for one to think such a countermeasure?

In a world where the "Oppai Dragon" became so popular that it was sought by everyone, the IQ of the supernatural beings and the people who lived in this world was quite doubtful.

Even if one could think of a countermeasure to defeat him, he had a "Crisis," so even if he was hurt, he could become stronger.

In other words, as long as he had this ability, he would be invincible.

Nevertheless, this reward wasn't so easy to get, as he needed to defeat Sirzech.

He might have had a chance before, but Serafall stopped him, and there was no way for Sirzech to give him an opening like before. Moreover, he needed to almost die if he wanted to have a power that matched Sirzech.

Yet, would Sirzech give him a chance to power up?

Probably not, as Sirzech might have erased him immediately.

Nevertheless, he was confident that he could become stronger.

Even if he couldn't defeat Sirzech, he could run away, especially when he had an "Area of Invisibility."

If there was something that troubled him, it was his family.

If he was alone, then he might not care about anything, but he wasn't alone. He had many people who cared about him, and it was impossible to abandon them.

Moreover, he also didn't want to leave the Underworld.

Even if he had to face Sirzech, he felt that the Underworld was much safer than the human world.

Frankly, he had had enough of the human world, especially with how many troubles he had faced.

Yet he knew he couldn't escape and needed to charge forward.

The moment he showed hesitation, he would be crushed to death.

He shouldn't have shown hesitation; he needed to be ruthless.

[Somehow, I am happy.]

"....." Riser.

While he was helpless, he also understood why the system was so happy.

With how many troubles he faced, it was impossible for him to have a lazy pig-like life.

Instead... might he have become a qualified villain?

"....."

While he felt quite conflicted, he knew that he couldn't escape as it was the path that he had taken.

He couldn't regret it.

It was probably also the same case for Magari, who walked behind him in a graceful manner as if she did nothing. The lewd woman that rode his waist like a wild beast could no longer be seen. What was seen was only the graceful and poised beauty of a Japanese beauty.

Still, before he took care of Ni and Li, he needed to take care of someone first.

"Xenovia."

"Riser-sama."

Xenovia changed how she called him as she knew from now on, she would become his servant, and moreover... she didn't hate the idea of being his servant, especially after she heard the story from Ni and Li.

If it was the usual protagonist, they would feel uncomfortable being called "-sama" as they didn't feel comfortable standing above others.

However, Riser was fine with it.

He looked at Xenovia, and Xenovia also stared at him.

"........"

Why were you blushing?

He sighed helplessly and asked, "What's your plan after this?"

"...plan?" Xenovia tilted her head, then thought for a moment before she looked at him firmly. "I want to follow you and be your peerage member! I have heard that a human can become a reincarnated devil, right?

"...or is it impossible?"

Xenovia would be lying if she wasn't nervous, especially when she had no one that she could rely on.

The only person that she could rely on was Riser, who had come to help and save her.

While others would only bow down against Sirzech Lucifer, Riser dared to fight him.

For such a man... Xenovia wanted to follow him forever.

Hearing Xenovia's request, Riser hesitated, and he could see the tense expression on Ni and Li.

Why?

It was because his peerage members were full.

Still—

"My peerage members are full, so I can't make you into my peerage members."

"I-I see..."

It was easy to tell that Xenovia was so sad.

"However, if you don't mind, I will ask my wife to make you her peerage member."

If it wasn't possible, then he might as well ask Ravel.

There was no doubt that Xenovia was full of potential, especially when she was the holder of both Excalibur Destruction and Durandal. Even if she didn't have two swords, for her, being chosen by two holy swords definitely made her special.

"You have a wife?" Xenovia was surprised.

"Yes."

"Oh." Xenovia fell in silence again, then asked, "Um, Riser-sama, can I ask another request?"

"Yes?"

"Can I become your lover and have your children?" Xenovia asked bluntly.

"....." Ni, Li, and Magari.

While they wished to mate with Riser, they were quite subtle and never expressed that intention directly as they were female. While if they were alone with him, it might be different as there was no need to be embarrassed in front of him, the problem was Xenovia talked about this matter in public!

"...let's get to know each other before that."

"Okay."

Xenovia nodded with a smile and felt optimistic as he didn't reject her.

"...."

Riser stared at Xenovia for a moment and decided not to say anything.

"Riser-sama, what about our plan after this?"

"Our plan?" Riser thought for a moment, then looked at Xenovia. "Xenovia."

"What's wrong?"

"Do you want to visit the Underworld?"

Yet, when he anticipated his homecoming, he didn't expect various troubles that were waiting for him.
