Your wife is mine

With a woman by his side, Riser watched her figure who slept so soundly and peacefully on his arm. If it was a normal man, they would feel numb by this action, but he didn't feel so and didn't feel much except for excitement, considering what kind of a woman he had been with. 

Riser had been with many women, after all, and if he wished to, there would be many beautiful women with fantastic figures who would jump into his arms without a second thought, yet a widow of his enemy really gave him a different feeling. 

Grayfia might be a mother of one, and she had been married to Sirzech. 

Yet, such a woman was in his arms, crying lewdly, abandoning her status as a wife and a mother as she was held by him, enjoying the act of sex with a man other than her husband. 

Even though Sirzech had a long death, Riser still recalled how many troubles he had been given by that hypocritical guy. If he was the only one who was harassed, then he didn't mind, but that bastard also harassed his family. He might have finished his revenge by killing that bastard, and he could also harass that bastard's family. 

Yet, Riser didn't do that as he had a gentle heart, and this was also the reason why he took care of that bastard's wife. 

Still, he had to say it was so fun to break the stoic expression into a lewd one and abandon all of her reserves as she was held by him. 

Suddenly, he was glad of Rossweisse, who had caused a mess and made all of them drunk. If the incident hadn't happened, then he might not have been able to comfort Grayfia, who was hurt. 

Nevertheless, as he had gained his peace, it was his time to check his rewards from his previous war. 

[Congratulations, you have received "Agni, Lord of Charity," "Haniel, Lord of Glory," and "Hastur, Lord of Star Wind."]

"..." 

He had to say his rewards were amazing.

Let's start one by one. 

His first reward was Agni, Lord of Charity, which gave him an ability known as "Charity." 

This ability allows him to amplify something near-infinitely. When used on a person, it can be used to either increase their strength to or past the limit of their bodies, resulting in living things being burned alive by their own body heat or otherwise falling apart. When used on an attack, the result is absolutely catastrophic, increasing its power to the absolute limit and creating the strongest offensive power.

If he gave an example, this power was like the "Boosted Gear" owned by Issei. 

In his case, he didn't need the "Boosted Gear," and the "Boosted Gear" was unable to burn the opponent alive like him. 

In other words, his ability was stronger than Issei's, which made him wonder how Issei would defeat him. 

Yet, this wasn't his only reward since there were two left. 

Haniel, Lord of the Glory. 

This was his second reward, an ability that centered around balance, offering a perfect blend of offensive and defensive powers. It's also a Passive Skill.

This skill gives him five skills, which: Attack Sense, an ability to see through the enemy's traps; Hostility Detection, an ability to ascertain the enemy's movements; Accord of Energy, an ability to change unfavorable attributes to advantageous ones; Offensive-Defensive Balance Adjustment, an ability to convert the power of attack into defense and the power of defense into attack; and Automatic Recovery, an ability to automatically heals all wounds.

Riser had to say that all of those abilities were useful to him, especially the last one. 

It might seem weird why he said that, but even though he was a Phoenix and couldn't do it no matter what, it didn't mean that couldn't hurt since all of his actions needed to start with a thought. If he wanted to heal his body, he needed to think so first. However, with this ability, if he wanted to heal his body, it could be done automatically. 

As for the others, such as "Attack Sense" and "Hostility Detection," there was no doubt that they were useful. 

However, the "Accord of Energy" and "Offensive-Defensive Balance Adjustment" were so unique. 

In the case of "Accord of Energy," which was an ability to change unfavorable attributes to advantageous ones, it was like when he was exhausted after running so long, that exhaustion would disappear as it was unfavorable to him. 

If he had to say, it was like the application of the "Ruler" within his body. What hurt him would make him stronger, yet it was done within his body instead of the external, which was a lower version of the "Ruler," yet, unlike the "Ruler" that needed to be activated, this ability was passive, so no matter how one would try to invade his mind, it was meaningless since this ability would activate automatically. 

The "Offensive-Defensive Balance Adjustment" was also an interesting skill since it gave him the ability to have the ultimate defense and an ultimate attack like the ability of Falbium Asmodeus. 

In case he wanted to attack, this skill would adjust automatically to turn everything into an attack, so his attack would become stronger. But in case he wanted to defend, this skill would also adjust to turn everything into a defense, making his defense impregnable. 

There were those five abilities within a single ability, and there was no doubt showing how much this skill was worth. 

Those two skills had made him much stronger, but this wasn't the end since he still had his last reward. 

Hastur, Lord of Star Wind. 

This skill gave him various abilities, and some of the abilities were quite similar to those he owned in the past, but the main abilities of this skill were "Weather Domination" and "Sound and Wind Domination." 

With this skill, he could control the weather; whether it was a storm, snow, or sun, he could change whatever he wished, causing the entire world to be in chaos. Somehow, this skill reminded him of the 2nd strongest Longinus owned by the angel side, Zenith Tempest. 

Still, Riser didn't have much of a good impression of those Longinus users, as all of them felt like they were special. While that was the truth, it made him know that those individuals loved to cause trouble, and they were confident in themselves, thinking as if whatever they did was for the good. 

Before someone refuted him since he was the same, he had to say that he wasn't a good person, and he was different from those who believed that they were good even though their purpose was selfish. 

In the future, he wouldn't be surprised if there was trouble on the angel's side; the owner of the Zenith Tempest would take part on the side of those who had caused trouble. 

Suddenly, it made him think that he should take all the Longinus in this world, taking him by himself, so no one could bother him anymore. 

With that idea, he felt that he needed to do it as soon as possible. 

Oh, as for "Sound and Wind Domination"?

Wasn't it obvious?

It gave him the ability to govern over the sound and wind. 

It was frightening, right?

"Riser-sama?" 

"Did I wake you up?" 

"No, it's okay." 

"Let's sleep. You must be tired." 

Grayfia stared at Riser, who had tossed her body around with a sigh, then snuggled in his arms, feeling the long-lost comfort that she longed after. 

Kissing her white, round shoulder, Riser thought that the window of the enemy was great. 

Still, this also made him wonder what kind of ability he had received from Grayfia. 

[Congratulations, you have received "Ocean."]

"...." Riser.
