Chapter 122: Be his strength!
Riser stared at everyone who had made their decision and fell into silence for a moment.
He suddenly thought of the original Riser.
Even though the original Riser might be pictured as a bad guy, considering he was the first strong opponent that was faced by the protagonist, the truth was he wasn't bad at all.
Even though many works pictured him as a scumbag and evil, forcing cute girls and beautiful women into his peerage members, the truth wasn't like that at all.
Instead, Riser had never forced anyone to become his peerage member.
He asked them to become his peerage members, giving them some benefits.
If they didn't want to, he wouldn't force them and just leave as he didn't lack anything in his life.nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.
Life in this world was hard.
This was the case with Issei, who could only be a tool to fight all dangerous beings in the world.
The others were in the same situation.
While this world might appear like a happy harem comedy work, many living beings were living worse than social animals who worked 12 hours a day and six days a week. Those who were affiliated with the supernatural world also weren't an exception.
With modernization, the life of supernatural beings wasn't as good as it seemed.
The number of humans increased, and it made supernatural beings lose their homes, like an animal who lost their habitat due to the development of a human.
Moreover, the supernatural world was a place where the strong ate the weak.
It was a survival in the fittest world.
The same case was with his peerage members.
Except for their supernatural power, what could they rely upon?
Did they want to live as criminals and hide in the sewer like a rat?
Being invited into Riser's peerage members and living as his harem member was definitely better.
The original Riser was handsome and talented, and his prowess on the bed was amazing as he was coming from the Phenex House. Moreover, he was rich enough to make all of them live a comfortable life.
Then, what about him?
There was no doubt he was even better.
It might sound narcissistic, but as he had said before, having "Sex Mastery," "Command T," "Healthy Body," and "Immorality" turned him into the ultimate weapon to defeat a woman.
Still, as they had decided to follow him, he needed to remind them.
"As you have decided not to leave and follow me, then you need to be prepared for this "Rating Game" definitely isn't easy."
"Are you going to fight the Emperor, Riser-sama?"
Ile, the chainsaw user, asked with a joking tone, but her eyes were a little nervous.
The rest was also the same as they waited for his answer.
Riser shook his head. "No. Probably not."
"...Rudiger Rosenkreutz or Tannin."
All of them murmured those names while Xenovia was confused, "Who are they?"
Riser wasn't surprised by her confusion and explained.
Rudiger Rosenkreutz.
While this figure might not be famous in the human world, he was famous in the Underworld as he was in the top ten in the Rating Game. With his ingenious strategy, mastery over the psychological of the opponents, and witty methods, he gained the title of "Upsetting Sorcerer."
Rudiger might not be the most powerful, but his strategy, mind, and deep research on his opponents make him a powerful foe in the "Rating Game."
Still, instead of Rudiger, they were more worried about Tannin.
While Rudiger might be smart, all of them felt that Riser was smarter, especially when Riser had made various techniques, magic, and unique tricks.
However, Tannin was different as he was one of the Five Dragon Kings, which were unique Dragons recognized for their strength and nobility. Their highly destructive powers rival those of Ultimate-Class Devils or even the Four Great Satans.
Tannin was one of those Five Dragon Kings.
"While there is a chance Rugider might be our enemy in the "Rating Game," I believe that Tannin will be our opponent."
Especially when Sirzech wanted to see the fight between the Phoenix and the Dragon during Riser's previous engagement with Rias.
Sirzech's sick hobby definitely continued with Riser's return to "Rating Game."
Riser might be able to defeat Issei, the Oppai Dragon, but what about Tannin?
Blaze Meteor Dragon.
Would Riser be stronger than Tannin?
After all, compared to Kokabiel, Vali, or Azazel, there was no doubt Tannin was stronger.
Riser looked at everyone's expression, then asked, "Are you scared?"
"..."
They wanted to say "no," but they weren't sure.
"You don't need to worry. I have prepared several strategies, and I will make sure that we will win.
As for Tannin? I will fight him alone to show everyone that way. No one can stop me from getting a promotion to the "Ultimate Class Devil."
"..."
They were in a daze for a moment as they thought his figure was so dazzling.
"Yes, Riser-sama!"
A man with ambition.
There was no doubt Riser was the most charming at this moment.
Still, all of them felt quite envious of Ni, Li, and Xenovia, who could see his fight against all the legendary beings with their own eyes, but then again, they believed those fights wouldn't be the last time they would see him fighting against those strong legendary beings.
Due to that, they knew they needed to become stronger so they could become his strength.
