Chapter 42

Rias, who was worrying for Naruto, couldn't help but feel a little strange that when Ravel looked at her like she knew she had done something wrong.

The fireball was heading straight towards Naruto, he tried to break free from the girls. He could heal back after the attack but the girls would be seriously hurt after this. He decided he had no choice but using 'that' technique now.

Just as the fireball was about to reach him, it suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"Huh, what happened? I didn't do anything, the fireball just...Disappeared..." Naruto said out loud in surprise as he along with everyone else were confused and wondering about the events just now.

"I'm sorry!" Ravel felt to her knees and began to cry, the Phenex Clan especially her mother and a few high-class devils immediately understood what happened.

"Hm, I think I should think about my grandchild's name!" Lord Phenex scratched his chin and chuckled while Lord Gremory and Venelana were thinking of a possible way to make up with the Phenex Clan when Rias and Riser's engagement became void. Sirzechs was shaking his head with a small laugh, his little brother sure knew how to attract girls, while Grayfia, whose face remained the same, was gripping her maid outfit a little forcefully.

Rias's mouth opened and closed in shock as she couldn't believe what just happened, tears began to well up in her eyes. Akeno was still smiling but it was a cruel smile and her eyes were like the eyes of predator and were looking at Ravel, someone needed to do a lot of explaining after this. Koneko gripped the balcony barrier hard and it slowly began to crack under her strength. Serafall was gaping like a fish, she couldn't believe someone had made a move faster than her.

"Ravel...You gave him your tears didn't you?" Riser asked with a dangerous tone.

"Yes...Onii-sama..." Ravel admitted.

The audience once again gasped in shock as they finally understood what happened. they couldn't believe so much is happening in one day and half of those are secrets kept for who knows how long.

"Kiba, what's so special about her tears anyway?" Issei looked around the stadium and saw a lot of devils smirking, laughing and even cursing. He turned to Kiba and Sairaorg, who were chatting with each other about this news, "Isn't it just like any normal Phoenix's tears?" Asia nodded her head in agreement with Issei, she too didn't understand what it means.

"Well you see Ise-kun and Asia-chan..." Kiba began to explain to them while Sairaorg was trying to calm down his distraught cousin, "Ravel Phenex-sama is a full blood Phenex and her tears are very special to her. It is an old tradition of the Phenex Clan really and it is still passed down from generation to generation. A full blood female Phenex, will give her tears, a part of herself to the one she loves to protect them. Because the tears of the true Phenex could cure any wound and could save the user even when he is near death."

"That means…" Asia finally realized what it mean.

"Yes, basically Ravel had proposed to Naruto-sama!" Kiba finished.

"But what about the fireball?"

"Well, about that...The one who holds the tears can't be hurt by the Phenex that gave her tears to him, no matter how strong the fireball, it will disappear when it comes near Naruto-sama. Because after all, you wouldn't want to hurt the one you loved, would you?" Kiba asked.

"Okay." Naruto nodded his head after he heard Kiba's explanation about the tears. He didn't know the tears had another power other than healing wounds. He had wanted to give Ravel's tears back to her but a lot of troubling matters lately, especially this fight prevented him from doing so.

"You..." Riser gritted his teeth, "To think that you would become my brother-in-law, I refuse to accept that!" He flared out his wings and attacked Naruto with a powerful fireball. This time, Naruto was prepared, he broke free from the girls who were still holding on to him and summoned a few clones to pull them out of the way.

BOOOOOOOMMMMMM!

The Phoenix's fireball hit Naruto and exploded, creating a powerful shockwave that sent dirt and earth everywhere. Riser smirked and landed on the ground with his queen at his side.

"You don't care about them do you?" Came Naruto's voice from the blast area.

"So what, they are my servants, they have to listen to my orders!" Riser said smirking, "Weak devils have to submit to the strong and elite ones, like me, RISER PHENEX!"

"I was wrong about you about you...You're even worse than I thought." They heard footsteps coming from inside the flame and widened their eyes when Naruto appear with not a single scratch on him.

At first they thought Naruto's body was covered in fire but when they looked closely, they could see his appearance had changed. This form looked similar to Sirzechs's true form but was a different color and outfit.

Naruto was covered completely in yellow energy. His hair became wilder with two distinctive pieces of hair-like horns. His eyes had changed from blue to orange, and the energy that covered his body looked like flickering flames. He had swirl designs on his stomach, shoulders and black lines covered the front half of his body.
