章 288: Fight to death!
Three days had passed after that incident, but even so, it still couldn't erase the depression within the Underworld. Unlike when Sirzech passed away, there was an existence that brought them hope, but this time, such an existence didn't exist.
Yet, even so, unlike Sirzech, who was forgotten, everyone firmly remembered his figure.
Even if they wanted to forget him, it was impossible, especially with how enormous his size was and how powerful his opponent was.
However, in front of such a nightmare, someone still faced that beast courageously.
Naturally, many were inspired by him and wished to become like him, yet when they thought he was no longer beside them, they just... couldn't regain the spirit.
His warmth and presence, they lost them.
What's even worse is that after this incident, Tannin and his race went on a rampage. He went from one place to another, killing and destroying everything, especially the domain of the Gremory.
"IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! YOUR FAULT, SIRZECH! I WILL KILL ALL OF THE GREMORY!"
Roaring such an enraged voice, Tannin went on a rampage. He didn't care about anything, and it was as if he had become a mindless animal. Yet, even if he became mindless, his power showed everyone why he was called the Dragon King.
Facing this brutal attack, the Gremory House was in a panic, yet even so, they were unable to do anything facing Tannin. Even worse, all of Sirzech's peerage members died due to Tannin's brutality, and Lord Gremory was gravely injured. There was nothing that the Gremory House could do, and they could only ask for help, especially from the Maou class of Devil.
Naturally, no one could stay silent as they didn't want many devils to die, so Falbium, with the help of Michael and Baraqiel, came to kill Tannin. Unfortunately, even if they could push Tannin away, they weren't able to kill Tannin, and Tannin quickly ran away and attacked the other areas from the Bellial and those who were close to the area where the Gremory Domain was located.
Nevertheless, it didn't mean that the alliance was helpless as they could take down Tannin's dragon armies, yet they were powerless in facing Tannin.
Tannin might only be within the Top 10 of the Rating Game, but if he fought seriously, without caring about anything, at this moment, in the devil world except for Ajuka, no one could stop it.
Then, where was Ajuka?
Whenever Ajuka was around, Tannin would quickly leave and didn't even try to fight the current strongest Maou.
This is what troubled Ajuka, as speed wasn't his strong point, so he could only helplessly try to follow Tannin.
It was also due to Tannin's brutality and cunningness that many funerals happened in the Underworld.
In the Gremory Domain, especially since there were many who had died, including Hyoudou Issei, the pawn of Rias Gremory.
When Asia heard of Issei's death, she passed out and was unable to believe it before she accepted it since there was nothing she could do, especially when everyone was still in a crisis and they needed her help during this crisis.
Kiba and Gasper were also affected, but there was something that they needed to do since the Gremory Domain was really in need of help.
Yet, during this crisis, Rias, Akeno, and Koneko were unable to help. However, no one forced them, especially when they knew what was happening. Their eyes were dead, especially after that day.
Riser disappeared.
While many knew inwardly that person might not even exist anymore, no one dared to say it; they would receive the anger of Serafall, the Sitri House, the Phenex House, and many others.
There was no way for Riser to pass away!
Yet, when they thought about the opponent Riser fought... they just didn't have the confidence to say so.
On that day, everyone was clear since there were many who watched what was happening.
When the Underworld was about to be destroyed, Riser used a certain technique that swallowed him and the Great Red. While they weren't sure what kind of technique Lucifer had used, they knew he had sacrificed himself for everyone. They wanted to believe Lucifer was invincible, but when they thought about his opponent... once again, they just couldn't believe it.
Even if they believed so, especially when the Phenex was famous for their immortality, they knew that it might take an eternity for him to return.
Moreover, the faction created by Riser was as strong as ever since their links interlinked together with various interests, loyalty, and many others that linked them together. Even if he had disappeared, his power wouldn't disappear, as no one would let this power disappear since everyone's interests were linked together.
More importantly, Serafall was still living well.
Even though among the Four Maou, her strength might not be the strongest, she was still stronger than the majority of the devils. Lastly, after that day, she was crueler, and her stupid, cute face disappeared.
Yet, among all of those people, the one with the most complicated thought was Azazel since he was helpless at that moment. Even though Riser disappeared, his position didn't change, and he was still at the bottom, especially when the Grigori changed under the previous lead of Riser.
Even if Riser had disappeared, he wouldn't let Azazel have a comfortable life.
Moreover, Azazel knew that the danger that Vali faced hadn't completely disappeared, especially when he knew that if Ajuka wasn't busy with the matter of the Astaroth House and also the rampage of Tannin, Ajuka would come to target him to get his hand on Vali.
Did Vali think that he could stay and live well after killing Sirzech?
Azazel wished for that fantasy to happen, but he knew that it was impossible. Yet, he knew that he needed to stop this, especially when he knew how weakened this alliance had become.
If Issei was still alive, then there was no doubt that he was the best person to become the link to gather all the alliances.
However, even if Riser disappeared, he wouldn't let anyone who bothered him live well.
"...it's really troublesome to become his enemy..."
Azazel sighed helplessly.
What about killing Ajuka so Vali could be accepted by everyone?
Sometimes, such a thought crossed Azazel's mind, but could he even kill a mad devil who dared to summon the Great Red for his revenge?
Riser might be powerful and all, but his thought was still rigid and gentle.
However, Ajuka is different as he is completely cold and callous, especially when he could even sacrifice his little brother and even the reputation of his house for his revenge.
Facing an enemy that didn't care about anything else except for revenge, Azazel was completely helpless.
What about Riser?
Azazel hadn't thought too much since Riser had died. Even if Riser didn't die, it would be impossible for Riser to return so quickly since he knew that in this world, the dragon was invincible. However, he had to say, there was no way for Riser to be forgotten, especially when everyone saw his last heroic act.
"....."
Azazel closed his eyes and sighed, feeling quite regretful, before stopping his thought since he knew he needed to move on. He thought about how to face the next danger that came, especially when the fallen angel was also affected by Tannin.
Yet, Riser didn't disappear.
He was in a different space, fighting the Great Red.
Only, he really did die during this fight.
