Sasuke remained impervious to his insults as he replied with a single sentence.
”Raiser Phenex--”
”I will show you what is real flames.”
The air around Sasuke started changing and the temperature momentarily dropped; causing a chill down Raiser's spine.

Back at the dining hall, the members of the distinguished devil families were all looking at the battle scene, confused at the actions of Sasuke.
”Has Sasuke-kun given up?” Akeno looked over at Rias, who was displaying all sorts of emotions on her face.
”Sasuke...”
- - - -
”OI! WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?! I AM GOING TO BURN YOU COMPLETELY!”
The wall of flames came advancing towards Sasuke and it was at that moment, Sasuke opened his right eye-
”Amaterasu!{Heavenly illumination}”
Amaterasu--
Black flames that were produced at the focal point of the user's vision.
The black flames produced from Sasuke's right Mangekyo started devouring Raiser's flame as though burning through paper.
”WHAT THE...?!”
Within seconds, Raiser's flames were completely burned out and the black flames dropped onto the ground, continuing to burn away.
Sasuke then shifted his sight towards Raiser and the black flames followed his field of vision.
”GET AWAY FROM ME!”
Raiser tried desperately to escape but the black flames persistently followed him and he was soon completely enveloped in black flames like a cocoon--
”ARGHHHH!!!!! GET IT OFF ME!!! GET IT OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Even though his body tried desperately in vain to repair the burned cells, the produced black flames didn't let go of its target and continued burning away; that was truly the flames of hell.
Raiser squirmed in agony as he felt as though the flames were penetrating all the way into his soul.
....What is this.
No ---- this is a different dimension in terms of high temperature.
How can I, the heir of the Phenex clan, get burned by fire?!
Raiser managed to squeeze out a few words.
”Th...That eye of yours...you...just what are you...?”
Sasuke slowly took a few steps forward.
”These black flames are said to be inextinguishable, forever burning until it's target burns to ashes. They will continue to burn until the target is eradicated, even if the target is fire itself.”
”With your high regenerative capabilities, you might bȧrėly survive. But, once ignited, it will continue burning for seven days and seven nights; no amount of water can put out these flames.”
”Raiser Phenex, the amount of pain you will suffer through these seven days will make you wish you were dead.”

The spectators were shocked beyond belief.
A member of the Phenex clan was actually defeated with flames?!
How could such a thing even happen?
Sirzechs looked at the screen on display and could not help but reveal a smile.
”Ajuka was right. This man certainly is interesting. That eye of his--”
Various conversation started igniting in the dining hall.
”The heir of the Phenex clan lost to the Sekiryuutei?”
”Incredible. He put out the flames with even more flames.”
”But--I didn't even see him really use the power of the Boosted Gear. Does this mean his power is not from the Sacred Gear?”
”Just what were those black flames?!”
- - - - -
Sasuke took one last glance at Raiser who was still enshrouded and engulfed by black flames.
A portal then appeared in front of Raiser and a young girl, with long blonde hair tied into twin-tails shaped like large drill-like curls, appeared.
”Onii-sama!”
She then spread her arms wide as though to cover for him.
However, Sasuke simply turned around and closed his eyes.
”I suggest not to get near those flames.”
The girl's face reddened for a second as Sasuke left such parting words and the field started to crumble.

The medical personnel had to enclose Raiser, who was still writhing in agony, inside a special barrier as they led him away.
”Sekiryuutei--”
”No, Sasuke-kun. What do you want as a reward for winning?” Sirzechs asked Sasuke, who was the winner of the battle.
”Sirzechs-sama?!”
The relatives started criticizing at Sirzechs offer. However--
”It is fitting since he is the winner. We have to honor that. Now then. I can give you anything. A peerage? Or perhaps the most beautiful woman?”
Sirzechs asked Sasuke, ignoring the voices of the others around him.
”Listen to your daughter's wishes.”
Rias father didn't say anything and closed his eyes.
The surrounding people could only react in disbelief.
That's all he is asking?He could have wished for something more grand! Is he crazy or just plain stupid?
At the side, Rias's face was suddenly kissed pink like a spring rose as she gazed over at Sasuke.

In a mysterious hideout:
”Vali--”A beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure; long black hair with split bangs, wearing a black Kimono, passed over a file to a young man.
”Here is the report you requested, Nyaa”, the girl spoke with an alluring voice.
The young man called Vali; had light silver hair, hazel eyes, and was wearing a dark green V-neck shirt, with a high collared black leather jacket over it.
”Thank you, Kuroka.”
”Hou, so this is the Sekiryuutei. Black flames that were powerful enough to burn through even the flames of the Phenex family...--”
A smile started to spread across Vali's face as he continued reading the report.
”It seems his power does not even rely on the Boosted Gear. HAHAHA! This should be the first time a possessor of the Boosted Gear has not relied on its power. This man is already strong without the Sacred Gear. If he were to fully master the powers of the Boosted Gear--he will clearly be unstoppable...”
However, Kuroka was seemingly worried as she voiced her concern.
”Aren't you worried you will lose to him, Vali?”
However, a fearless smile formed on his face instead.
”Worried? I, Vali Lucifer, only seek strong opponents. That is my goal in life. The Sekiryuutei--To think that my rival of destiny would be such a strong character. This makes me very excited!”
Vali looked upwards as he declared.

”Uchiha Sasuke--”
”I'm looking forward to the day we meet.”
