...
"Excellent! Let's obliterate them!" Rias exclaimed, her morale soaring.Â
Carrying a disgusting stench and drool dripping from their mouths, the Cerberus beasts charged towards the group.
Badr faced one of the Cerberus alone. The monstrous beast galloped on all fours, and even before it got close, one of its heads opened its maw and spewed a fireball.
The fireball was too fast to dodge. Badr had no choice but to manipulate the Sacred Gear to shield himself.
Boom!
The scorching flames exploded, engulfing Badr entirely!
So hot...
Even with the protective barrier of the King's Shield, Badr still felt the surrounding air become unbearably hot.
His demonic power surged. Badr and his clone attacked the beast from two different directions.
He and the Cerberus whizzed past each other. Badr's King Sword slashed at one of the Cerberus' heads!
The targeted head snapped viciously at the King Sword!
However, it underestimated the Sword's power. Badr channeled his raging demonic power into the blade, making it incredibly dangerous in an instant!
Swish!!
With a single swing, Badr sliced off one of the massive beast's heads, sending blood spraying everywhere!
The monster howled in pain and lunged at Badr in a frenzy. At that moment, Badr's clone attacked from the side, slamming the King's Shield down with tremendous force!
A muffled thud echoed as the Cerberus was smashed to the ground by the shield, the impact shaking the very earth, demonstrating the sheer power behind the blow.
Kokabiel, observing from the sky, stared at Badr with a hint of surprise. His gaze flicked between Badr's main body and his clone before a grin spread across his face.
"This guy is somewhat interesting. Is he some new toy the Devils have cooked up?"
He seemed unaware of the previous Rating Game and didn't know about the anomaly that was Badr. This was his first time witnessing the existence of the Pawn clone piece, and he was clearly intrigued.
While Badr had the upper hand, Rias and her peerage were also pressuring their Cerberus.
"Too slow!"
Akeno Himejima blocked the Cerberus' path and unleashed a lightning strike, making the monster shriek in agony. Patches of its fur were charred black by the electricity.
Rias leaped from behind Akeno, her alluring body tracing an arc in the air. Reaching the apex of her jump, she unleashed a fierce wave of demonic power!
Her demonic power was wild and destructive, forming flames of pure annihilation!
The Cerberus retaliated, rearing its heads and spewing a torrent of flames!
The opposing forces of demonic power collided mid-air, creating a violent clash. Scorching waves of heat raged outwards.
The grass on the Kuoh Academy grounds quickly turned yellow and then ignited, burning to ashes in the blink of an eye, revealing the scorched earth beneath.
However, the Cerberus had three heads. While two were occupied with Akeno and Rias, the remaining head was still free to act. It prepared to join the fight against Rias.
But at that moment, as it was busy dealing with the two high-class Devils, a small figure had seized the opportunity to approach!
"Hiyaa!!"
Koneko Toujou, wearing her gauntlets, leaped high into the air and punched the Cerberus' head with a clean, powerful blow!
Boom!!
Koneko's strength was incredible! With a single punch, she sent the massive beast crashing to the ground!
"Hehe~, well done!"
Akeno Himejima praised Koneko's attack, her clothes instantly transforming into a Miko outfit.
As if the Miko attire granted her a power boost, the intensity of her demonic power surged!
"Let's give you another one!"
A torrent of lightning erupted, golden bolts nearly engulfing the Cerberus!
As expected of Akeno Himejima, the "Queen's" strength was truly formidable.
However, the Cerberus' vitality was remarkably tenacious. Despite being battered and bruised, it still had the strength to fight back. Rias and her peerage couldn't afford to let their guard down just yet.
On Badr's side, despite having his clone to assist him, he was more concerned about the progress of Valper Galilei's Excalibur fusion.
If Valper succeeded in creating the fused Excalibur, it would be a formidable threat.
After all, Kokabiel was still watching from above, and there was no telling when he would intervene.
Even in the midst of the fierce battle, Badr and the others had to keep an eye on Kokabiel's movements.
His mere presence exerted immense pressure on them.
As the four Excaliburs grew fainter, seemingly close to fusion, Badr's eyes narrowed.
He had to finish off this Cerberus quickly!
He activated his ability, pushing the King Sword' amplification to its limit!
Whoosh!
His already immense demonic power surged even further. This time, Badr's strength was amplified tenfold!
The surge of power created invisible shockwaves that rippled outwards from Badr. His black hair danced wildly in the wind as his aura grew intimidating.
"Hmm? Seems like he has some tricks up his sleeve..." Kokabiel observed Badr with growing interest.
The Cerberus, sensing the danger, dug its claws into the ground, its own demonic power surging.
Flames ignited across its body as its muscles bulged, and its speed increased.
"Watch out for its hellfire!"
Rias, despite being occupied with her own fight, managed to warn Badr.
But by now, Badr no longer needed to be cautious. 'The King Sword' amplification was determined by his own limits. The fact that he could withstand a tenfold amplification spoke volumes about his incredible growth. With this amplified power, he was confident he could slay the Cerberus.
Raising the silver blade high, the sheer intensity of Badr's demonic power distorted the surrounding space. Ripples of energy, created by the interaction between his magic and the air, spread outwards.
Sensing the imminent threat, the Cerberus launched a preemptive attack. However, Badr's clone appeared, using the King's Shield' protective barrier to shield Badr's main body!
The fierce hellfire, a purplish-black inferno, surged towards Badr like a fire dragon, slamming into the King's Shield' barrier.
The barrier, reinforced by the amplified demonic power, was much stronger than before and easily withstood the attack.
Badr's main body held the King Sword aloft, the demonic power forming a tangible blade of light that extended from the sword, transforming it into a massive, 100-meter long purplish-black greatsword!
"Hehe, this move looks somewhat familiar. It even resembles a Holy Sword attack. For a moment, I almost couldn't tell whether yours was the true Holy Sword or if it was Valper's over there."
Kokabiel commented with a chuckle, unconcerned about the fate of the Cerberus below.
Badr ignored him and swung the greatsword down towards the Cerberus!!
...
The purplish-black greatsword descended with furious force. The Cerberus desperately channeled its demonic power to resist.
But no matter how much it struggled, the greatsword continued its relentless descent!
Already battered and wounded from its previous fight with Badr, the Cerberus had reached its limit.
The greatsword struck the massive beast, black blood spraying out and instantly evaporating as the overwhelming energy was unleashed.
Demonic power surged, shattering the stone pavement and carving a deep chasm five meters wide and over a hundred meters long into the ground.
As the light faded, everyone saw the Cerberus' body, cleaved in two, slowly collapsing to the ground.
Rias and her peerage were slightly excited. The power Badr had displayed was comparable to that of a high-class Devil.
"Let's step it up and finish it off!"
The Cerberus possessed a strong regenerative ability. They didn't have destructive attacks like Badr's, so they could only rely on attrition to wear it down.
Suddenly, a voice rang out, "I'll help too."
Following the voice, a beautiful figure dashed towards them, wielding a large sword with surprising agility.
It was the Holy Sword wielder, Xenovia.
She held the Excalibur Destruction. Appearing beside the Cerberus in a flash, she sliced off one of its heads with a single swing.
"Excellent!"
Rias was overjoyed. The seven Excaliburs were forged from fragments of the original King Sword and possessed immense destructive power against Devils. Xenovia's sudden attack had dealt a significant blow to the Cerberus.
Just as the girls were about to finish off the Cerberus, before Badr could even breathe a sigh of relief, he sensed a suffocating, terrifying aura emanating from the distant pillar of light!
He whipped his head around and saw the four Excaliburs completely fade away. In the center of the magic circle, a beautiful, shimmering greatsword slowly materialized!
"It's complete!!"
Valper Galilei's excited voice rang out!
"Oh, not bad. The four Excalibur swords are about to become one." Kokabiel chuckled, leisurely sitting on his throne in the sky, enjoying the spectacle below.
He appeared utterly nonchalant, wielding absolute power. The people below were mere ants in his eyes, easily crushed at any moment.
On the school grounds, the holy light expanded as the new Excalibur, forged from the fusion of the four swords, was fully revealed!
It radiated a dazzling, blinding light, forcing everyone to shield their eyes. As the blinding light gradually subsided, a beautiful Holy Sword, enveloped in blue-white flames, hovered in the air!
"The power of the combined Excalibur has fully activated the magic formula. In twenty minutes, this city will be completely destroyed by this formula. The only way to stop it is to defeat Kokabiel."
Valper Galilei explained to Rias with a smug grin. Rias and her peerage, having just slain the Cerberus, were horrified!
"He's... insane..."
Rias gritted her teeth. As expected of the war maniac Kokabiel, he intended to obliterate the entire town. This would be a catastrophic event, and even the intervention of the Satans wouldn't be able to prevent it.
"Hehe, if you want to stop me, then come and wage war against me."
Kokabiel spread his arms, laughing maniacally without a care in the world.
"Stop this at once!"
Rias immediately launched an attack at the Fallen Angel, her fierce demonic flames surging towards the throne in the sky, threatening to engulf it entirely.
However, faced with such an attack, Kokabiel merely raised a hand with a bored expression.
Holy power erupted, instantly shattering Rias demonic power and dispersing her attack.
"How dull. You're ruining my entertainment."
Kokabiel raised his hand and flicked his wrist. A surge of holy power slammed towards Rias. Akeno Himejima intervened just in time, joining forces with Rias to block the fierce attack.
"Hehe, how utterly boring. I'll play with you for a bit."
Kokabiel, still seated on his throne, launched effortless attacks, forcing Rias and her peerage to struggle just to defend themselves.
Valper Galilei clapped his hands lightly.
"It's time to test the power of the new Excalibur."
With that, a dimensional portal opened beside him, and a young girl with long black hair stepped out, her expression emotionless.
"Allow me to introduce you. This is the Excalibur wielder I've spent so much effort cultivating."
Badr's eyes narrowed, recalling the Number Two he had defeated previously.
Had this girl also been created through their soul extraction method?
"That experimental facility in the dimensional gap was indeed for cultivating test subjects."
Badr spoke softly, recalling the humans trapped in containers within the laboratory. He wondered how many other lives had been sacrificed at the hands of the mad scientist, Valper Galilei.
"Hehe, because a certain factor is required to wield Excalibur, I created that laboratory. We identified individuals with that factor, extracted it, and crystallized it, resulting in the current Excalibur wielder. What do you think? Impressive, isn't it?"
Valper Galilei excitedly presented his experimental results, eager to show off his progress like a child with a new toy.Â
