The next moment, Badr's king sword was easily sliced away by Freed!
Freed felt that Badr's attack was completely weightless!
Then he saw Badr flip his wrist, revealing the magic seal in his palm!
"...Huh?" The priest looked astonished.
"Seal him!"
Badr suddenly threw the seal.
With the remaining power of the Sealing Sign, it would be difficult to seal several Fallen Angels, but sealing a single priest was no problem, especially at such a close range!
Smack!!
The hard seal hit Freed's face with a resounding thud, causing his mouth to twist!
Badr then struck Freed's wrist with lightning speed. The intense pain caused Freed to instinctively loosen his wrist, and the next moment, Badr felt the weight in his hand lighten as he snatched Asia away!
Rias and Akeno Himejima's full power attacks arrived as planned, and even Koneko Toujou lifted a boulder from the park to smash at the three Fallen Angels.
Badr immediately raised the Sacred Shield, shielding himself and Asia within the protective field.
Boom!!!
Heavenly thunder and earthly fire instantly engulfed the three Fallen Angels and everyone around Badr!
Badr and Asia felt their bodies heating up; even though they were protected by Sacred Shield, they were still nearly melted by the two girls' attacks.
They truly held nothing back!
But this was necessary!
If they didn't unleash their full magical power, the Fallen Angels wouldn't be able to defend themselves with full force, and of course, they wouldn't be able to watch Badr reclaim Asia right in front of their eyes.
Subconsciously, they never expected Badr to charge forward so recklessly, but the reality was that Badr was reclaiming Asia under Rias and Akeno's attack.
"Badr!"
Asia shouted under the shield as she saw Badr spitting blood from his mouth.
...
Asia felt scared, worried, and touched;
Badr had been seriously injured before, and now he was enduring his wounds to save her...
The girl's eyes filled with tears as she immediately activated Twilight Healing and healed Badr with all her might.
Badr felt much better, but he knew that the real crisis was not over;
Using Rias and Akeno's attack to cover his reclamation of Asia was only the first step. The crucial part was how to escape unharmed after their attack stopped!
At that moment, he and Asia were trapped deep inside the enemy lines!
Rias and the others were also very worried about Badr and Asia;
Now that they understood Badr's plan, they could see him using the Sacred Shield to protect himself and Asia as they watched anxiously.
Hold on, come back safely...
Magical power began to gather again, and Rias prepared in secret, realizing that once their previous attack dissipated, Badr and Asia would immediately face the combined assault of the three Fallen Angels!
They had to intervene quickly at that moment; otherwise, Badr and Asia would be in grave danger.
Akeno's expression had become serious for a long time;
The current problem was how Badr could withstand their first combined attack?
Even if Rias and she were fast, they couldn't be faster than the three Fallen Angels right in front of Badr...
Badr had to withstand the first combined attack of the three Fallen Angels on his own, but in his current state, could he do it?
They were really worried that Badr, who was already badly injured, would be overwhelmed and killed by the three Fallen Angels in a single strike!
After all, there were two Top-Tier Fallen Angels among them, comparable to high-level Devils like Rias!
As the flames and thunder were about to dissipate, Badr knew that the greatest crisis was imminent.
He took a deep breath and said to the girl in his arms:
"Asia, heal me with all your power."
With that, he communicated with the Sword and Shield of King.
The Gear responded quickly, causing Badr's body to tremble slightly!
Splash, splash...
At that moment, everyone could clearly hear the sound of ocean waves!
Not being inexperienced, they were all astonished and immediately recognized it as the sound of magical power violently surging inside the body!
"That's..." Akeno covered her red lips with her hand, her eyes wide with surprise.
Gear Resonance!
Badr was activating Gear Resonance at this moment, causing his magical power to boil over!
This was the evolutionary path for all beings, using spiritual will to communicate with the world and elevate oneself, but it also carried an immense risk, with the slightest misstep leading to bodily harm and death!
But at this moment, Badr had no choice.
He had already reached a bottleneck through the expansion of his contract and had planned to try to break through with the Gear Resonance upon his return, but then Asia was found by the Fallen Angels.
Since that was the case, he could only seek victory in danger!
As long as he broke through to the intermediate Devil level of magical power here, he might be able to withstand a blow from the three Fallen Angels.
It didn't have to be much, just one hit would be enough!
After that, he could leave the rest to Rias and Akeno.
Badr's body trembled slightly as the violent magical power resonated with the world through the Gear;
The intense pain within his body surged like landslides, overwhelming him wave after wave!
Blood veins appeared in his eyes as he gritted his teeth and endured in silence, his mind echoing Rias teachings.
"Gears resonate with the host's thoughts, and with the host's willpower, the Gear's power can be increased infinitely, but it all depends on how long the host's will can endure and the body's ability to withstand it."
In other words... as long as one's will is strong enough and one's body can withstand it, one can use the power of the Gear to break through limits!
With Asia healing his body, he could ignore it... it was all about how strong his will was!
At that moment, Badr's consciousness sank into the dark spiritual space, his gaze landing on the gleaming King Sword & Shield and the towering, majestic black ancient city. His eyes focused on the bronze bell hanging on the fortress wall.
Without hesitation, he resolutely charged at it with his spiritual will!
"Clang!!!"
The spiritual will collided with the bronze bell, and the sound waves from the bell actually echoed into reality!
"What kind of sound is that!?"
The three Fallen Angels were startled, momentarily distracted as they fended off Rias and Akeno's fire and lightning, their eyes involuntarily drawn to Badr.
From the sound of the bell, they sensed a vast, overwhelming energy that seemed capable of destroying them!
With the resonance of the bell, the sword and shield of King glowed brightly, and the magical power within Badr surged even more violently!
Splash, splash...
Several wounds burst open on the boy's body, leaving him instantly covered in blood!
"Ah!"
Asia was worried, watching the boy with her eyes closed, healing his body with all her might.
In his mental space, Badr growled, "Again."
"Clang!!"
The bell sounded ancient and long.
He clearly felt the bottleneck loosening.
This was indeed a dangerous evolutionary path, and Badr felt excruciating pain.
It was as if his soul was being torn apart.
Normally, cultivation and evolution wouldn't be so painful, but Badr chose the most aggressive breakthrough method.
As a result, the pain increased tenfold.
Badr gritted his teeth;
He had to break through or he would die here.
If that happened, Asia might also die, and Rias might have to accept her family's arrangements and marry someone she didn't love, and then there was Mai Sakurajima...
In his mental space, Badr looked up at the bronze bell, his gaze becoming calm.
His spiritual will formed into a shape, he clenched his fists, and with unwavering determination, he struck the bronze bell.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
Three consecutive strikes.
This was followed by three long, prolonged clangs of the bell!
Badr's body burst with blood, turning him into a blood-soaked figure in an instant.
But in his spiritual world, the black ancient city began to glow with golden patterns that spread from his feet to the distance.
It was as if an ancient beast had awakened!
In the real world, Rias and Akeno's suppression vanished, and the three Fallen Angels immediately launched an attack on Badr!
"Kid, die!"
At that moment, Badr's magic power suddenly increased tenfold!
He suddenly opened his eyes, and a black ancient city was reflected in his pupils, with golden patterns rapidly spreading out.
The golden glow quickly filled the boy's black eyes, transforming them into dazzling, intimidating golden pupils.
Vaguely, the outline of a black ancient city appeared in his pupils, faintly discernible...
...
The sudden increase in Badr's aura startled the three Fallen Angels.
Had this child really broken through their magical power bottleneck?
Breaking through in battle, what was he thinking?
Although they were surprised, they weren't worried.
What if he became a mid-level Devil?
They were two Top-Tier fallen angels and one high-level fallen angel!!
Sacred holy light burst out, carrying an overwhelming power, and attacked Badr.
For these fallen angels to wield such holy power was indeed ironic, no wonder the angels despised them, seeing them as tarnishing the angelic name.
