Chapter 108: Ants
"I can’t take any more of this shit!"
I blinked as the world around me changed, being the very appealing forms of Rias and Akeno one moment, and then the much less appealing form of Riser Phenex a moment later.
The man looked exactly how I remembered him, if a bit more deranged overall, and not all that different from the other male Phenex’s I had seen - that being his father and older brother. He was decently tall, looking close to six feet in height, with bright blonde hair and a decently muscular frame.
His frame was very visible, and to say the sight in front of me was unappealing was understating it, as Riser was butt-naked and bent over. I glanced around, taking in the room around us quickly.
It was clearly a bedroom, and a pretty luxurious one, too. There was a large bed in the corner, which, judging by the red sheets, red pillows, and even red headboard behind it, definitely belonged to Riser. There were a few dressers in the room as well, along with a massive mirror, which nearly took up the entire room.
Red walls, a red bed, and a massive mirror to stare at yourself all day? This was definitely the bedroom of Riser Phenex.
"J-Just calm down, please, L-Lord Riser!" A more feminine voice spoke, being the familiar tone of Yubelluna.
The reason Yubelluna broke the orb was pretty clear, as the contrast between their demeanors was stark. She was on her shapely rear, sitting in the corner of the rather extravagant room around us as she held up her hands defensively, looking more than a bit nervous and fearful.
She’d clearly been in some type of scuffle, as her usual robe looked slightly torn in some places, and her hair was ruffled and messy.
"No! I can’t! That bastard ruined my life, and I won’t just sit here and take it! I’ll do whatever I want!" By comparison, Riser looked furious. His face was red with anger, twisted in rage, and there were even flames dancing dangerously on his palms as his eyes scanned over Yubelluna’s body.
"First Ravel... then you... then even my own mother!" Riser shouted, hunched over a bit as he towered over Yubelluna, his eyes a bit crazed and flames flaring up around his shoulders, "That bastard! I can’t listen to you rave about that piece of shit any longer!"
Wasn’t this guy’s whole bit that he usually referred to himself in the third person? He must be really pissed to be using ’I!’
