=========================================
"You're a demon now. Human principles no longer apply to you. Whoever shows killing intent towards you, kill them with all your might. No hesitation. Our world is cruel like that."
Rias was genuinely concerned for Badr.
With that thought, Badr's gaze sharpened, and a silver sword materialized in his hand.
Whoosh!
The boy's body vanished from the spot at an incredible speed.
This was the power of the Knight piece, which granted extraordinary speed.
Badr had been enhanced by two Knight pieces, making him even faster. Despite being a low-rank devil, his strength was not to be underestimated!
Badr's sudden disappearance shocked the fallen angel, Belgrano.
"What?!"
She felt a cold and sharp sensation on her neck, her battle instincts screaming in alarm!
Almost instinctively, she bent her flexible waist backwards to dodge.
In the next moment, Badr's figure, radiating killing intent, appeared before her, the tip of his sword grazing her throat.
Close call!
Belgrano flipped backwards multiple times, creating distance. Cold sweat covered her body from the close encounter.
Underestimated him!
She was both fearful and furious. Spreading her wings, a spear of light reformed in her hand. Her exposed areas jiggled with her movements.
Badr closed in again instantly, not giving her any chance to recover.
The sword in his hand, gleaming with silver light, slashed towards Belgrano's neck.
With a clang, the slash was blocked by her spear of light. Belgrano's face darkened as she quickly exchanged a few blows with Badr. Sparks flew from their clashing weapons.
However, after just a few exchanges, Belgrano noticed her spear of light showing signs of breaking!
She could handle Badr's strength, but that sword enhanced his attacks significantly, making it hard for her to fend off his blows!
She struggled against a low-rank devil-like Badr despite being a former high-rank angel.
Is this sword a Sacred Gear?
After a few more clashes, Belgrano realized she couldn't keep up with his relentless attacks, which deeply hurt her pride.
I can't stay passive!
Expending much of her divine power, she pushed Badr back a few steps and quickly retreated with a flap of her wings.
"Thorns of Light!"
Belgrano shouted coldly—golden thorns formed behind her, shooting towards Badr.
Badr's eyes narrowed, feeling a sharp pain on his skin and a chilling sensation.
These thorns are deadly!
Using his extraordinary speed, Badr dodged the incoming thorns.
But there were too many, sealing off his escape routes. Despite his caution, a thorn pierced his calf.
An excruciating pain surged through him, causing his body to tremble violently.
Why is this wound so painful?
Badr's heart sank. These thorns had an unexpected effect.
Seeing Badr trembling in pain, Belgrano laughed heartily.
"What's wrong? Aren't you fast? Why do you look so shocked? Didn't you know light is poison to low-rank devils? Hahaha…"
Her laugh was unrestrained, thinking Badr was now powerless.
With a cold gaze, Badr silently raised his sword and charged at Belgrano again, albeit a bit slower.
Belgrano's eyes widened, and she dodged clumsily.
"You… can still move fast after being poisoned by light?"
The fallen angel was both angry and confused. Why wasn't he affected?
Badr was affected. He felt like his body was tearing apart.
But thanks to the Gear's power and his demonic body's self-healing, he endured the pain with sheer willpower.
However, he knew he couldn't last long.
I need to finish this quickly!
Badr decided.
He poured all his magic power into his sword, revealing more of its true power. An overwhelming aura pinned Belgrano in place.
Seeing Badr's cold eyes, Belgrano desperately summoned more thorns of light, but Badr ignored them!
Is he insane? Does he want to die with me?
Belgrano's eyes turned crazed. OK, a death match it is!
With my higher-rank angel body, I should withstand this!
Let's see who dies first!!!
...
Determined to trade injuries for victory, Belgrano crazily summoned more thorns to impale Badr.
Badr, ignoring the incoming thorns, rushed towards the fallen angel.
Belgrano's once pretty face twisted with rage as she faced Badr's sword.
"Die!!"
She screamed as if they had an unresolvable grudge.
But her crazed expression froze as a silver shield materialized before Badr, emitting a powerful force field.
The force field protected Badr, shattering the incoming thorns instantly!
Swish!
The sword slashed through the fallen angel, and Badr stopped behind her.
Belgrano, still in shock, sprayed blood from a long wound from her shoulder to her rib, and the upper part of her body slid off.
Badr turned to look at the fallen angel's body on the ground and coldly said:
"Idiot."
Who would want to die with someone like her?
She wasn't a significant figure; dying with her wouldn't benefit him.
Dying with someone like her would be a joke.
From the start, Badr hid the shield.
More potent than the sword, the Gear was the silver shield that could protect its wielder.
Its proper name was Divine Lament.
On the ground, Belgrano, still alive due to her strong vitality, couldn't believe a low-rank devil like Badr had defeated her.
Badr calmly walked over and delivered the final blow.
The sword's power annihilated the fallen angel, leaving only ashes scattered in the wind.
Badr, his body weak, looked up to see the barrier disappearing with its caster's death.
He raised his hand, a dark red devil crest forming on his palm.
Previously isolated by the barrier, he couldn't call Rias. Luckily, he managed to kill the fallen angel.
He needed to be more careful. Today's luck was good; the fallen angel wasn't powerful.
Badr sighed inwardly, realizing he needed to find a contract partner soon, or he might not be so lucky next time.
A dark red magic circle appeared, and Rias, Akeno, and Koneko emerged, rushing to Badr's side.
"Badr! What happened?"
Upon receiving Badr's signal, Rias transported over with Akeno immediately;
Rias looked severe, and seeing Badr's bleeding wound, her eyes flashed with anger.
"This… is a light spear wound! Who did this to you?"
Rias's demonic aura flared with a murderous intent.
Seeing her beloved servant injured, Rias was truly enraged.
Badr looked at Rias, feeling her concern, and his cold gaze softened.
"President, don't worry, the one who hurt me is now ashes."
Badr waved his hand, using his sword to stand, enduring the pain.
"Hiss… President… How do I cure this light poison? It's killing me!"
Sweat dripped from his face, his clothes soaked.
"Light poison?"
Rias was startled, then understood:
"You mean the divine light? It's deadly to low-rank devils, causing immense pain. Come with me; I'll heal you."
"Okay… Sorry for troubling you again." Badr apologized, enduring the pain.
"Why say that, my cute little fool? I'm your master."
Rias supported Badr, letting him lean on her, instructing Akeno and Koneko:
"Clean up here and find out about that fallen angel!"
"Ara ara, leave it to us." Akeno smiled, her smile carrying a hint of danger.
Nodding, Rias transported Badr back to his home, immediately starting to heal him.
...
As Rias's soft, white body pressed against his back, Badr remembered what happened that night with Rias...
He had been held like this, slowly transformed into a devil by her soft body.
Damn, that's sensual.
"Badr, your heart is racing."
Rias hugged Badr from behind, her hand on his heart, laughing softly.
Besides feeling her smooth skin, Badr felt pure, dense magic transferring into him through contact.
Under its influence, the excruciating pain tormenting him faded away, the agony finally disappearing.
Badr pressed his lips together: "I didn't expect healing to be like this."
"Eh? Do you mind? Don't you like my body?" Rias teased, whispering in his ear.
