=========================================
Thud… Thud… Thud…
Heavy footsteps echoed, revealing a form that was no longer human.
The woman's lower half had transformed into a monstrous, terrifying beast!
"...I thought all devils were as beautiful and cute as the President, Akeno, and Koneko," Badr couldn't help but comment.
It was an eyesore.
Seriously, her upper body was quite attractive.
But what's going on with this sudden change in the lower body?
This isn't good; I must wash my eyes thoroughly when I return.
The three beautiful girls remained silent. Badr's focus was rather odd. His first reaction to seeing the Stray Devil wasn't fear but an unusual concern for its appearance.
"Betraying or killing one's master and recklessly using power will corrupt both body and mind."
Koneko said expressionlessly, stepping forward to face the now monstrous devil.
The Stray Devil sneered, "Hypocrites, suppressing your true nature, are you even devils?"
"You dare lecture us? Betraying your master and acting wantonly to satisfy your desires is worthy of a thousand deaths."
Rias's red hair fluttered as she glared sharply at the towering monster. "In the name of Duke Gremory, I'll obliterate you!"
"Hahaha… Arrogant, aren't we? You're just an underdeveloped little girl. I'll kill you and dye your body red like your hair!"
"Minor villains always boast."
Rias was unbothered, her words infuriating the Stray Devil.
It raised a massive beastly leg, aiming to crush Rias.
As the attack came, Badr and the others didn't move.
The giant beast's foot descended but abruptly stopped just before impact, then retreated rapidly.
Koneko had moved forward, her fist raised, standing fearlessly. She had punched the monstrous attack away with terrifying strength.
Despite her petite and adorable appearance, Koneko, as a Rook, possessed immense defensive power and incredible strength.
That tiny, irresistibly cute body held astonishing power!
...
With a single strike, Koneko sent the massive beast tumbling backwards, smashing into a wall before stopping.
This was characteristic of a Rook—overwhelming strength and potent defence, effortlessly blasting away a creature several times her size.
"Akeno, it's your turn."
"Understood, President. Oh my, what should I do?"
Akeno advanced with a smile that felt like a gentle breeze, but a powerful aura of magic surged around her.
Rias explained to Badr, "Akeno, as a Queen, has the traits of all the devil pieces."
Badr inquired about his piece.
He knew his pieces combined Knight and Pawn, but he had only experienced the Knight's speed, never the Pawn's trait.
Rias smiled, "A Pawn has the promotion trait. Upon reaching the enemy's territory, you can transform into any piece except the King."
Badr's eyes lit up with understanding.
It seemed every piece had its powerful trait, even his seemingly weak Pawn.
As he pondered this, thunder rumbled ahead.
Looking over, he saw Akeno raising her right hand, a surge of magic forming a lightning bolt that struck the Stray Devil.
"Ugh!! Ahhhh!!!"
The monster convulsed violently, screaming in agony.
Despite this, it refused to die, desperately summoning its magic for an attack.
Perhaps due to consuming its master and many humans, its magic was powerful, causing Badr and the others to narrow their eyes.
"Ughhh..."
The Stray Devil howled in pain. Badr noticed its chest rapidly swelling.
What?
Badr had a bad feeling.
The next moment, he saw the Stray Devil's chest extend bizarrely...
What??
Boom! Boom!
Before Badr could process it, two terrifying beams shot from the devil's chest.
The beams swept across, destroying walls and emitting a corrosive sound, indicating they were highly toxic.
Badr saw clearly;
Those beams...
Seriously, from her chest?
What the...
Is this the legendary... Tit Beam?
Such a bizarre attack caught Badr off guard, but he reacted quickly.
Seeing the Stray Devil aiming its beams at him and Rias, Badr stepped forward without hesitation, shielding Rias.
Buzz!
A silver shield appeared in front of Badr.
He supported it with his left hand as if grasping it from thin air.
The shield floated, creating a transparent force field that blocked the incoming beams.
Rumble!
A tremor came from above as the decaying ceiling finally collapsed.
Unperturbed, Badr summoned the King's Sword, slashing swiftly to form a net of sword light above.
The falling tons of steel and concrete were easily cut into fragments and deflected by the force field.
Badr stood casually, his sword resting on the ground, seemingly indifferent to his actions.
Rias clapped lightly, smiling, "Not bad, quick reaction."
"Thanks to your training, President."
Badr responded calmly, making Rias's smile widen.
She had noticed Badr's excellent combat skills. His calmness and decisiveness were crucial traits in life-and-death battles.
"This guy... why attack that way..."
Badr couldn't help but remark.
"The more unexpected the method, the more effective."
Rias laughed softly. The Stray Devil's tactics surprised even her, making her reaction slower than Badr's.
Although such attacks couldn't harm her.
"Indeed, that Tit Beam was quite unexpected," Badr muttered.
Rias was taken aback:
"...Tit Beam?"
"Yeah, I just named it. Doesn't it fit the scene perfectly?"
Rias: "..."
Perhaps it was too fitting. Rias's mind was filled with the chaotic image of flesh and beams.
Too fitting; it's hard to unsee...
For a moment, the pureblood devil Rias was at a loss for words due to Badr.
Meanwhile, seeing the Stray Devil still attacking Badr and Rias, Akeno seemed annoyed.
"Oh my, still so lively? I guess a few more shocks are in order!"
Zap!!
Lightning struck the monster again.
"Ahhhh!!!"
The monster's Tit Beam was interrupted, its body convulsing as if it would die from the electricity.
But Akeno continued with a third lightning bolt.
Despite her gentle smile, her aura felt chillingly cold, making her warm smile terrifying.
Badr was speechless.
She... she's enjoying this, right?
Not just a gentle big sister but also a sadist?
"That's how Akeno is. Even if the enemy surrenders, she'll keep attacking until she calms down. She's a true sadist."
Rias's words confirmed Badr's suspicion.
After three minutes of continuous shocking, Akeno handed the half-dead Stray Devil to Rias.
Rias usually executed the final blow.
Rias stepped forward.
"Any last words?"
She looked down at the miserable devil like a queen.
"...Kill... me..."
The voice was broken, filled with despair and pleading, clearly tortured beyond endurance by Akeno.
"Very well, die then."
Rias's cold voice fell, and a massive magic wave shot from her hand.
Boom!!
Scorching red flames engulfed the Stray Devil, turning it to ashes.
Rias's fiery red hair fell back into place as the shockwave subsided. She turned with a beautiful smile:
"Alright, mission accomplished!"

Back at the clubroom, Rias asked Badr with a smile.
"Any thoughts or realizations?"
