...
"Understood."
The dozens mages guarding the magic circle's core activated their magic. Blue magical energy converged into beams, forming intricate patterns.
Soon, the magic circle was complete. In the next second, their energy and vitality rapidly dwindled as the magic circle began to drain their life force.
"It's a sacrificial spell," Rias recognized the magic's origin.
As she suspected, these mages' magic was based on a demonic system.
"Be careful! This magic has the destructive power of a high-class devil!"
She mainly directed her warning towards Koneko Toujou and Asia Argento. With their current strength, they wouldn't be able to withstand an attack of this level.
The magic activated swiftly. A massive blood-red blade materialized within the magic circle, radiating a sinister aura.
"Blood Formation, Activate!"Â
The leader shouted as the dozens mages poured all their remaining energy into the spell, directing it towards Rias and her peerage.
Badr stepped forward, spreading his fingers. King Shield materialized before him.
-Endless Dusk City.
The stillness effect enveloped Badr. This time, he only utilized the [Stillness] aspect of his Sacred Gear, without summoning the black fortress or triggering the power boost.
Dealing with this situation, the [Stillness] effect alone was more than sufficient.
During the previous battle in the dimensional gap, Badr had only been able to activate Endless Dusk City for five seconds, even at full power. Now, he could maintain it for over an hour.
The blood-red blade slammed down, striking Badr at the forefront. But shielded by King Shield, he remained completely unharmed.
"How...?"
The leader's eyes widened in disbelief. He had never seen a mid-class devil withstand an attack on the level of a high-class devil before.
What a monster...
Badr had no intention of giving them another chance to attack. He switched King Shield to his left hand and summoned King Sword in his right.
The amplification activated, his demonic power increasing exponentially.
Boom!!
Holy-demonic energy erupted from his body, forming a towering aura that reached dozens of meters high, a vibrant blend of crimson and gold.
Badr raised King Sword and swung it down towards the magic circle's core and the dozens mages in a simple, unadorned strike.
Blinding light engulfed the core, vaporizing the mages and the magic circle in a single blow.
The teleportation spell was finally interrupted!
"Excellent! Now let's finish off the rest of them!"Â
Rias, seeing Badr's display of power, felt her spirits soar. She was eager to press their advantage.
Badr shared her sentiment, but their enemies were numerous. He needed to find a way to alleviate the pressure on Koneko and the others.
He flipped his hand, summoning the Sealing Devil.
"Go."
With a soft command, he launched the stamp.
Hummm~
A buzzing sound filled the air as silver ripples emanated from the Sealing Devil.
Anti-Magic Field!
Instantly, the magical power of the surrounding mages was suppressed by nearly sixty percent, drastically reducing their strength!
But in the next moment, the Sealing Devil went on a rampage.
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
In the blink of an eye, the stamp imprinted itself on a large group of female mages.
And then, Rip!
Wardrobe malfunction achieved!
Having accompanied Badr for so long, the Sealing Devil, a remarkably talented Familiar, had also grown considerably. It could now seal up to fifty targets simultaneously, with the sealing duration remaining at one hour.
Moreover, this limit could be broken at the cost of reduced sealing time. The more targets sealed at once, the shorter the duration.
Currently, the Sealing Devil had sealed over one hundred and seventy female mages, reducing the sealing time to a mere minute.
But... the sight of this mass wardrobe malfunction was truly spectacular...
The mages, both male and female, were momentarily stunned.
No one had expected such a turn of events during a life-or-death battle.
Badr calmly commented on the situation.
"...This is quite the explosive scene."
Rias and the others were speechless.
"..."
They hadn't anticipated the Sealing Devil's sudden display of power.
"How pathetic," Koneko expressed her disdain without holding back.
Badr shrugged. "It's just a small matter. Stay calm."
Unfazed by the sight of the exposed female mages, he mercilessly swung his blade towards them.
With their magic sealed, they were completely defenseless against his attacks!
Boom!!!
One strike, and the area was cleared!
In terms of sheer numbers, Badr had likely eliminated more enemies than the rest of Rias peerage combined!
The sudden decrease in the number of mages quickly caught the attention of the Devils' side.
"Oh? You're quite efficient. Have you already destroyed the teleportation circle?" Azazel chuckled. "I suppose they won't be able to sit still now."
As if to confirm his words, the extermination magic in the sky activated.
Simultaneously, another magic circle materialized.
"Hm? Leviathan's magic??"
Within the defensive barrier, Serafall Leviathan looked bewildered. "Eh? What's going on? I didn't do anything..."
...
Amidst a brilliant flash of light, a woman emerged from the magic circle.
She was dressed provocatively, her ample cleavage on full display, her skirt slit high, revealing almost to the base of her thighs.
She gazed at the group within the barrier, a playful smile on her lips. Her voice dripped with a flirtatious tone as she spoke.
"Hello there, current Maou Sirzechs-sama."
It was clear that this woman held no fear towards the Maou.
Sirzechs and the others recognized her immediately.
"The heir to the bloodline of the previous Leviathan, Katerea Leviathan. What's the meaning of this?"
Their eyes narrowed. This woman who had just appeared was a member of the Old Satan Faction, a direct descendant of the previous Leviathan!
Badr now understood the situation.
The previous Four Great Satans had fallen in battle. Until the new Four Great Satans ascended to their positions, the Old Satan Faction remained determined to fight to the bitter end.
However, the majority of the Devil race desired peace. Therefore, the decision was made to exile those from the Old Satan Faction who wished to continue the war.
They had been driven to a remote corner of the Underworld, while the new regime, led by the new Four Great Satans, took control.
Katerea's expression twisted with hatred and defiance.
"Almost all members of the Old Satan Faction have decided to assist the Chaos Brigade."
"Hm?"
Sirzechs frowned slightly. The name Chaos Brigade sounded vaguely familiar.
"Chaos Brigade?" Azazel grinned. "So it's those guys."
"Are you familiar with them?" Michael asked calmly.
"They've gathered dangerous individuals from all three factions, including Sacred Gear possessors who have reached the Longinus level. And we've confirmed that several humans among them possess [Sacred Gears]."
Azazel clicked his tongue, sighing with a wry smile. "My research on Sacred Gears is partly driven by self-preservation, as a precaution against this very organization."
The current situation marked a complete schism between the new and old Maou factions.
"The devils sure have it rough," Azazel chuckled, seemingly unconcerned.
"Katerea, why are you doing this? You're a devil too..."Â
Serafall Leviathan questioned, her voice laced with confusion.
"Shut up! Serafall, you stole the throne of Leviathan from me, and you have the nerve to say that? I am the rightful heir to the Leviathan bloodline! I should be the Maou!"
Badr returned to the defensive barrier with Rias and the others. In the distance, Sona Sitri and her peerage were still battling the mages. With the teleportation magic's core destroyed, the pressure on them had eased considerably.
However, this newly arrived Katerea, a member of the Old Satan Faction, posed a formidable threat.
It seemed they were not willing to relinquish their power so easily.
"Rias, Grayfia is analyzing the extermination magic circle above us. Until she makes some progress, go and assist those fighting the mages who are interfering with her. You don't need to worry about Katerea," Sirzechs instructed.
"...Understood."
Rias had no choice but to obey. Katerea's power was not to be underestimated. She was genuinely qualified to be a Maou.
The massive magic circle above them posed a significant threat. Even with King Shield's protection, Badr didn't want to face such an attack head-on.
A magic spell comparable to a God's strike... it was best to prevent it from activating altogether.
The fact that they could deploy a magic circle of this level indicated that the Chaos Brigade was a truly formidable threat.
Badr plunged into the enemy ranks, accompanied by Rias, Sona Sitri, and her [Queen], Tsubaki Shinra.
"We'll assist you as well," Sona said softly.
"Good. Let's try to eliminate all these annoying flies," Rias declared, perhaps inspired by Badr's impressive performance. She seemed eager for a fight.
Sona smiled faintly. "You've become quite assertive since gaining such a powerful comrade."
"Hehe, while Badr's presence is a factor, my own strength has also been steadily increasing. Don't fall too far behind, okay?"
"Don't worry about that," Sona replied, adjusting her glasses. "However, Badr's growth is too rapid, wouldn't you say? It's almost absurd."
"Is it fast?"
Badr swung his sword, holy-demonic energy surging forth as he effortlessly dispatched several mages.
He glanced at King Sword in his hand, murmuring to himself,Â
"I still don't feel strong enough."
"Are you still not satisfied?" Tsubaki asked, slightly exasperated.
Badr gave a faint smile and shook his head without speaking.
He did yearn for greater strength, but not in the insatiable way Tsubaki imagined.
In the past, he had struggled to survive, needing to fight with all his might against even an ordinary Fallen Angel and often relying on Rias protection.
But now, he could easily obliterate a group of such low-level Fallen Angels with a single swing of his sword. His strength had surpassed even Rias, yet he couldn't bring himself to rest.
Yes, he had become stronger, but the enemies they faced were also growing more powerful...Â
