I hate when someone orders me the most

Another enemy appeared once again, and this time, the pressure emitted from this opponent was immense.

While this person's pressure might not be as strong as Vali's in his Juggernaut Drive, this person was still strong, and his immense pressure startled them.

Yet, the identity of this person was the one that caused them to feel even more tense and frightened.

"The governor of the Grigori... Azazel."

Unlike Kokabeil, who was a mere cadre, Azazel was the real leader of the Grigori.

The proof?

Naturally, it was the twelve black wings on his back.

It might be something to be born with or the setting, but 12 wings symbolized all the leaders within the three sides.

Not only fallen angels but the real leaders of the angel and devil also had 12 wings.

However, it was because of this that everyone was tense.

Not only did they face the cadre of the Grigori, they were forced to face the White Dragon Emperor, and lastly, they were going to face the leader of the Grigori.

Everyone was at a loss, and they were too exhausted to show a reaction.

What happened tonight brought them to the utmost level of exhaustion.

Frankly, all of them just wished that everything was a dream.

The one who fought might be Riser, but even if they were just an audience, they felt worn out due to facing one powerful foe after another.

Moreover—

Many had their tears as they watched Riser's lone figure, which was covered with many wounds and bleeding all over his body. They wished to help him and asked him to rest, yet with their power?

What could they do?

Facing Azazel, they were nothing but a worm.

"Azazel..."

Vali felt like a ray of hope fell upon him.

"Vali, you are so ugly now." Azazel mocked Vali with a smile.

"...."

If it was before, Vali might try to say something in the comeback, but watching Azazel, who came to help him when he was about to die, he couldn't help but feel moved and cry.

"Don't cry, you child."

Azazel sighed helplessly as he thought that Vali must be under constant terror when Vali could cry like that.

After all, even when Vali was tortured by his father and grandfather, he never cried and stayed strong, yet now, he was crying like a child.

Watching this, Azazel's heart slightly ached.

Still, Azazel couldn't help but look at Riser with a complicated gaze as he didn't expect such a powerful, pure-blooded devil to be born.

Frankly, he had been watching the battle, and he saw how Vali entered the Juggernaut State, killing Kokabiel and even ready to destroy the town.

However, even if he was the governor of the Grigori, it didn't mean that he was good at fighting.

—or rather, among the leaders, he was instead the weak one.

Yet, his advantage wasn't on the strength.

Still, even so, he was the leader of the Grigori, and his strength definitely wasn't something that could be underestimated.

Nevertheless, it still ached his heart when he saw Kokabiel dead, but facing Vali, who had gone on a rampage, he could do nothing, yet who would have thought that Riser was able to stop Vali?

In the end, when Riser is about to kill Vali, Azazel decides to step in.

Azazel knew that he might be sneaky as he didn't stop Vali when Vali was on a rampage, but when Vali was on a rampage, he didn't think that Vali could continue to live as he knew the price of the Juggernaut Drive, and he could only sigh, thinking that Vali was going to die.

However, Vali was alive and screamed for someone to help him.

Azazel's relationship with Vali had been quite long. They knew each other when Vali left his father after his grandfather killed his father.

Being on the journey to search for power, Vali met Azazel, and their relationship became so close that they were like a father and a son.

Watching Vali desperately, asking for help, how could Azazel stay indifferent?

For Kokabeil, it was something inevitable.

As it was Kokabiel who was asking for death by himself.

"How about we have a truce? Can you let him go? Naturally, I will explain everything to Sirzech and everyone about what has happened today. What do you think? It isn't a bad deal, right?"

"...."

Everyone fell into silence and didn't believe what they had heard.

They thought that Azazel was going to attack them, but it seemed that... wasn't the case.

Nevertheless, they were still wary of Azazel as he was part of the fallen angel, the leader of Kokabiel, who had attacked them.

"Geez, you don't need to be so tense. I swear here that we, the fallen angel, won't attack you once again. Naturally, I know that you are hurt and traumatized by all of their actions, so I will also compensate all of you.

"That's why, can you let him go? I beg you."

His tone was polite and full of helplessness.

Azazel was different from Vali, who was full of pride and looked down on everyone arrogantly. He was a fallen angel, a creature that tempt an angel and the like to fall into the beauty of sin.

His words, voice, and everything about him made people believe he would do nothing and just wanted everything to end.

Moreover, everyone also wished everything to stop since they were all too tired.

Fighting more than this was meaningless.

"That boy from the Phenex House. Can you let Vali go? He has almost stopped breathing due to being stomped by you."

Azazel asked helplessly.

The rest aside, as they seemed tempted by his words, Azazel could see the indifference from Riser, yet could he be blamed?

Everything came to kill him.

Whether it was Kokabiel or Vali.

Yet, it was a miracle that Riser could live, fight all of them, and win.

Even if Riser was bleeding all over and was wounded, he was the last one standing among them.

"Hey, grilled chicken! Hurry up and let him go!"

Out of nowhere, Issei, who had been scared, regained his courage again, telling Riser to stop.

While everyone was speechless, they also understood Issei's feelings as they only wished everything to stop.

Moreover, Rias and Sona also supported this idea.

It wasn't that they agreed with Issei's point of view or were tempted by Azazel's words. Instead, they were just worried about Riser.

Riser's injuries were so bad that it was amazing that he could stand up.

They didn't want anything to happen to him, so they wished for everything to be over so they could tend his wounds as soon as possible.

At this moment, everyone wished this to stop.

"Riser... can you let him go?"

"Let's just end everything here."

Issei's words might not be effective, but what about Sona and Rias?

Azazel sighed in relief.

Vali also sighed in relief since he knew that he didn't need to die.

"Husband, it's over, okay? We don't need to fight anymore."

"Yes, let's just rest."

With the voices that came from Sona and Rias, the rest also gained the courage to talk to Riser, hoping he would let go of Vali so everything would be over, but—

"SHUT THE HELL UP!"

Riser's voice echoed through the space as he scolded them.

"You are so damn annoying, you bitch!"

"....."

Everyone fell into silence instantly as they were in a daze.

"Oi, oi. How can you scold a woman like that?" Azazel looked at Riser helplessly. "You should treat them gently, you know?"

The rest wasn't much better, especially Sona, since she was in tears as she was scolded by her husband for the first time.

Nevertheless, Rias was strangely excited for some reason.

Yet, Riser was too lazy to talk to all of them and instantly used his "Trick Star."

"Eh?" 2x

Not only Vali but Azazel was confused.

Vali, who was beaten and lost one of his arms, suddenly fell from the sky, but Azazel, who was flying in the sky, was suddenly lying on the dirty ground as his chest was stomped by Riser.

"Guwah!"

Azazel coughed up blood as his lungs ruptured after they were pierced by his broken ribs like Vali and Kokabiel.

"AZAZEL!"

Vali, who fell from the sky, knew what had happened to Azazel and couldn't help but scream in horror. Frankly, his situation wasn't much better, but how could he watch his father-like figure fall into the same situation as him?

Yet, Azazel couldn't hear Vali's reminder as his chest was burnt, causing him to scream in pain.

"Listen, what I hate the most is when someone orders me around, so die."

Riser swung his blade made of concentrated blue flame, ready to kill the leader of Grigori without mercy.

I walk on the path I believe in. 

Lastly, who said "Trick Star" was a weak ability before?
