"What the hell is this!?" Riser screamed bloody murder as Rias stood proudly amongst the dying embers. Both Riser's flames and the ambitions he once set when he set eyes on Rias were dying slowly.
"It's what it looks like. You lose now." Rias stated raising her hand and releasing a large sphere of destruction. The red pulsing ball of magic zoomed out of her palm growing large enough to cover someone's torso
Riser was too lost in his rage to escape as his entire upper body was disintegrated into dust. His legs were still attached to the charred remains of his hips though that didn't do exactly what Rias wanted. Within seconds his entire upper body returned from the excruciatingly painful strain and with some trepidation he grinned the same shit eating grin he had earlier glaring down Rias.
"I'm immortal Rias. Nothing will get through me, and while my flames might not get through to you I can still beat this lesson into your Peerage!" Riser glared as he attempted to fly back up, wreathing his entire body in flames once more.
Rias released a bevy of smaller spheres aimed for his back which fizzled out his wings forcing him to fall back to the ground. He landed back on his feet and was about to discard all reason and charge in fist first when he heard it. That ghastly noise that seemed to creep up his spine.
"Awoo!" The Wolf howled once more. He forced himself to look back at the human mage once again. His blood ran cold for reasons that he couldn't exactly explain… the human had a dangerous gaze but he was nothing to the high ranked devil that was Riser.
Atop his mount, Ritsuka's fancy cape that seemed to move of its own volition whipped around crazily. The tips were wrapped in chains and slashed at the ground as if readying itself for more combat. The wolf had also gained some distance as well, a good five meters away, separated the trio. Rias and crew stared at the strange sight… though for some reason they felt so nervous and scared. It felt as though their lives were on the line… but only when they caught Lobo's eyes.
The sheer amount of hatred that oozed from the wolf was palpable. A suffocating mist hung around the beast as the flames danced around its maw and for some reason… it looked like the wolf was smiling.
Lobo lunged forward breaking the ground beneath its paws, flames billowing out of its mouth. The tendrils that billowed from his back shot out as he reached the three meter mark. What was worse for Riser was that his flames weren't working at the moment. The strange aura wrapped around Ritsuka seemed to overpower his abilities… he felt so much weaker than usual.
'So glad I activated Lobo's third skill. Now he can't buff himself in any way.' Ritsuka thought as he initiated Lobo's Noble Phantasm.
Throughout his time with Lobo whenever the wolf actually decided to go on their missions, he would always make certain to only activate Lobo's skills whenever his Noble Phantasm was ready to fire. The shadow Lobo's muscles seemed to bulge with great strength given his classification as a creature when his Monstrous Strength activated.
The cloak that covered Ritsuka and Lobo allowed him something special. One Cloaked in Death removed any sort of magical protection rewriting fate itself… albeit only slightly. The aura menacingly hung around the pair with every bound of Lobo's paws.
Riser took several steps back. At least, he attempted to. The tendrils that covered Ritsuka's back shot out and pierced into his flesh drilling as deep as they could get. Incapacitated, Riser watched as the wolf bound in closer, the twin crooked swords poised in that human's hands.
'I'm going to die! I'm going to die!' Riser mentally screamed since his whole body had gone into shock.
As the blades came to his neck, the failsafe of the Evil Piece System came into play. Riser was teleported out of the arena. The blades swung through empty air but that was fine. Lobo released a loud howl as the flames that billowing from his mouth sent ghostly flames around the two.
'King Riser has been retired! Winner is Rias Gremory!'
Rias and the group cheered raucously as the game came to an end… though that cheer ended when they noticed that Lobo was still on the field. It slowly stepped over to the group and sat down. Uninterested in everything now it allowed Ritsuka off of its back.
The battle over, the flames died out and the traps that had been on its legs returned. It looked over the group uncaring of them. With a small lick on Ritsuka's face it disappeared once more into his shadow. Uninstalled by Ritsuka, and unbeknownst to the rest of the viewers around as to what happened.
"Ritsuka… are you okay?" Rias was the first to step close to him. He unceremoniously sat on the ground breathing heavily.
"Yeah...gasp… peachy…" Ritsuka clutched his chest. "It's just really really hot… Lobo is not very good around people…"
"I'll see what I can do." Asia immediately rushed forward using her Sacred Gear to see if she could heal anything on Ritsuka. It looked like he was suffering through heartburn.
A small glow from Asia and Ritsuka's breathing eased down. That alleviated a lot of stress from the others as well since they had just won and didn't need to worry about their MVP falling over in exhaustion.
"See…" Ritsuka managed out.
"See what?" Rias questioned Ritsuka who turned to everyone.
"Kept my promise that you'd win." Ritsuka mentioned as his body slowly started to relax.
Rias let her smile grow until she was positively glowing. He did indeed keep his promise.
