Alex put his arm around Rias's head, gently stroking her head.
"Mmm…"
Feeling Alex's gentleness, Rias's lips curled slightly.
But soon, she pinched Alex, saying jealously, "Are you like this with your other Dependents too?"
"How could that be? Only you are my childhood friend, you are special."
Alex embraced Rias, whispering in her ear.
This was a lie.
But he wasn't a fool.
Naturally, he wouldn't bring trouble upon himself.
"Hmph, sweet talk."
Although she said that, a hint of secret joy flashed in Rias's eyes.
"By the way, this is your attribute information, take a look."
Rias, who took it casually, began to read.
At first, there was nothing much.
But soon, her eyes lit up.
[Eye of Destruction]?
This was simply an upgraded version of their family's Destruction Magic Power.
Wherever her gaze fell.
The Light of Destruction would annihilate everything.
What a domineering skill!
She smiled and murmured softly:
"This is great. With this Eye of Destruction, I believe even the Undying Body of the Phoenix Family will definitely not be able to withstand it."
"Still thinking about your engagement, huh?"
Alex shook his head with a laugh, "Actually, you don't have to worry. I'm about to go resolve this matter."
"???"
Rias was a little bewildered.
"You don't really think I'd let you, my childhood friend, fall into someone else's hands, do you?"
He hadn't acted before purely because there was plenty of time and his strength wasn't sufficient.
But now.
Although he hadn't reached the level of not eating beef.
He no longer had to be timid about everything.
"Don't be reckless! Even if you are a Demon Lord now, some things are not easy to shake."
Rias was first touched, then worried.
"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, no need to worry."
After comforting Rias, Alex walked into the bathroom.
There were too many marks on his body; it was uncomfortable not to shower.
Underworld!
Phoenix Family Castle.
Inside the study.
Leval, the next head of the Phoenix Family, was sitting at his desk.
Creak—
The door was pushed open, and a man in a red suit, without a tie, and with a somewhat fierce expression, walked in.
He was the third young master of the Phoenix Family.
Ryser Phoenix.
"I told you to go to the Human World to see your fiancée and foster some affection, so why haven't you done anything?"
Leval's expression was quite displeased.
As the leader of the family, he had to consider its interests.
This marriage alliance, for the benefit of the pure-blooded families, had to proceed.
Ryser leaned back on the sofa, crossing his legs: "What's there to go for? When the time comes, we'll just get married."
Leval shook his head, lamenting his brother's lack of ambition: "Do you really think this marriage is set in stone?"
"Even if this alliance was jointly promoted by all the pure-blooded families, it's not necessarily going to happen."
He had deep worries.
In fact, he had already noticed it long ago.
Rias's brother, Sazex, was not satisfied with this engagement.
As one of the Four Great Devil Kings, and an Beyonder (Transcendent) himself.
His strength was already top-tier in the Underworld.
He didn't openly object, merely playing by the rules.
But if one day he decided to overturn the table...
Those old fogeys might not be of much use.
Ultimately,
this world still respected strength.
Just then, in the distant sky, clouds exploded, and a figure appeared above the Phoenix Family's castle.
Boom!
A vast and mighty pressure permeated downwards, directly shaking the atmosphere, and the entire Phoenix Family's castle began to tremble continuously.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Countless devils and servants in the castle were instantly pressed to the ground, trembling from head to toe.
"What on earth is happening? Whose aura is this?"
