With a crack, the mirror instantly shattered as well, seeming to have done little to block the attack.
However, the rebounding attack and the incoming pillar of fire were strangely compressed back.
Originally, Tsubaki Shinra could only summon a single mirror.
But after being transformed into one of the Pillars of Demons, she discovered that her Sacred Gear could create this four-sided encirclement.
So, could such an attack harm the target?
Yet the Phoenix family's trait was exactly that—called Phoenixes, unless overwhelmingly powerful force was used against them, it was difficult to inflict any substantial damage. Their bodies could transform into flames, as though they had no physical form.
So what would happen?
"Aaaaaaah!"
He screamed, which meant the attack had reached the point where it could harm Riser.
Seeing that, Rias did not hesitate to hurl more Magic Bullets, unleashing them in large numbers and making the screams impossible to stop.
"Ah? Stop! Rias-sama, please stop! My brother has gone silent! If this continues, you'll kill him!"
Another person, seemingly only now realizing what was happening, cried out tearfully and stepped in front of Rias, finally making her stop the barrage of magical bullets.
The tearful speaker was a petite blonde girl with twin drill pigtails—his younger sister.
Thus, after Rias stopped attacking, a terribly battered body lay in the crater formed by the destroyed ground.
He had completely lost consciousness.
"A-A cross?"
Embedded halfway into Riser's body was an object demons feared—a cross.
It was this cross that prevented Riser's body from turning into flames and becoming intangible, allowing the attacks to truly strike him.
"Rias-sama, even if you hate my brother that much, joining forces with people from the Church is going too far!"
As his younger sister, Ravel glared furiously at her, then at a nun.
