Chapter 5 - 5 - Finally, Ddraig appears! (2/2)
It happened exactly when Rias spoke. A magic circle started to glow on the floor.
However, the symbol of the Gremory drawn on the magic-circle started changing into an unfamiliar pattern.
A Phoenix.
The light started blinding the room and a person stepped out from the magic circle.
FLAME!
Flames started spewing out from the magic-circle and the room was overwhelmed with heat.
However, Sasuke didn't even flinch as he continued watching.
A silhouette of a man was inside the flames.
”Fuu, it's been a while since I came to the human world.”
The man standing there was wearing a red suit with a shirt opened till his ċhėst.
The guy started looking around the room and smirked when his eyes landed on Rias.
”Raiser Phenex.”
”My lovely Rias. I came to see you.”
Raiser started approaching Rias.
”Now then, Rias. Let's go and take a look at the ceremony hall. The date has already been decided so we need to check it before then.”
So this is the guy engaged to Rias. No wonder she dosen't want to marry him.
Sasuke could not help but reveal a small smile from the corner of his lips.
This will be interesting.
Asia had taken a position behind Sasuke and was clutching a corner of his shirt.

”My, the tea made by Rias's [Queen] is superb.”
”Thank you very much.” Akeno lightly bowed.
Rias was sitting on the sofa while Riser carelessly sat next to her as he held her shoulders.
”Stop it already!”
Rias angry voice echoed through the room as she stood up and glared sharply at Riser.
”Raiser, I told you before. I don't intend to marry you.”
”I'm going to take a husband. But, I will marry someone I want to be with.”
Riser slowly shook his head while smirking.
”The entire demon world struggles to preserve the lineages of pure-blooded devils after the last war made them a rarity. Our fathers arranged this marriage for the common good.”
However, Rias remained insistent.
”I won't say it twice, Raiser. I'm not going to marry you.”
Hearing that, Riser suddenly became unpleasant as his eyes became sharper.
”You know, Rias. I'm the face of the Phenex family. I cannot have you sully my honor. I will bring you back to the Underworld, even if it means burning all your servants to death.”
CHILLS.
Raiser's hostility and killing intent started filling the room and he made a stance against Rias.
The flames started gathering around Riser's back and formed into wings of flame. Exactly like a fire bird.
Just as Raiser was about to raise his hand against Rias, someone else had already advanced forward and gripped firmly to his hand before it could be swung down.
Raiser turned around as he looked at the culprit who actually had the audacity to stop him.
”Huh? Who the hell are you?! I'm going to beat the shit out of you.” He spat.
The male culprit wearing a cloak, however, remained indifferent and composed despite the threat .
