The surge of Badr's magic reached a crescendo, his power amplifying twentyfold. His overwhelming presence created a tangible tension in the air, and even Loki, couldn't suppress a twitch of his eyelid.
"This little devil..." Loki muttered, his eyes narrowing. For the first time, he sensed true danger emanating from the mortal before him.
Raising his hand, Loki summoned a swirling ring of divine energy, which rapidly expanded into a massive circular blade. The edges gleamed with destructive energy as the blade hurtled toward Badr with incredible speed.
Without flinching, Badr held his ground. His [King Sword] blazed with golden light as he swung it horizontally, meeting the attack head-on.
The clash sent shockwaves rippling across the battlefield as the divine blade split in two, veering off to either side. The severed halves tore through the distant landscape, obliterating entire mountains in their wake.
The spectators below—Rias, Akeno, and the others—were left momentarily speechless. Even the sheer aftermath of Loki's attack was beyond anything they'd ever seen. Yet, Badr stood unscathed, his blade unwavering in his hand.
"That power..." Akeno murmured. "This isn't a battle we could even survive, let alone win."
Above the battlefield, Badr and Loki exchanged blow after blow. Each swing of Badr's sword tore open rifts in space, the resulting shockwaves demolishing everything in their path.
Loki retaliated with bursts of divine energy, each attack aimed with lethal precision. The sky was alight with energy, a chaotic symphony of destruction.
On the ground, Saji watched intently, gripping his [Absorption Line] tightly. His sacred gear pulsed with latent energy, ready to be unleashed.
Though his strength was leagues below the combatants in the sky, he had a critical role to play. He only needed the right moment to act.
"I'll restrain him," Saji muttered to himself. "And Badr will finish him."
High above, Loki unleashed a barrage of lightning bolts, each strike faster than the last. The jagged arcs of divine energy illuminated the battlefield as they streaked toward Badr.
Yet, he was already moving, his form a blur as he weaved effortlessly between the deadly bolts. Each missed strike exploded against the ground, carving massive craters into the desolate terrain.
In response, Badr poured his immense energy into the [King Sword]. The blade hummed with power, its light growing brighter with every passing second.
Then, as if answering his call, an enormous, ancient city materialized in the sky. Its towering walls stretched endlessly, casting a foreboding shadow over the battlefield. The [Eternal Dusk City] loomed ominously, its sheer presence exuding an aura of finality.
The oppressive weight of the city's presence was palpable. On its towering black walls, rows of soldier statues stood motionless, their lifelike forms eerily silent. Rias and her team, watching from below, couldn't shake the feeling that the statues were... moving.
But Badr had no time for speculation. His focus was singular.
He raised his sword high. The air grew still, the tension suffocating.
"[King's Judgment]!" he roared, his voice resonating across the battlefield.
A colossal beam of light erupted from his blade, carving through the sky as it descended toward Loki. The sheer magnitude of the attack dwarfed anything the battlefield had seen thus far.
The radiant energy engulfed the god entirely, and for a brief moment, the world seemed to stand still.
Then, chaos erupted.
The ground quaked violently as shockwaves tore through the battlefield. The light was blinding, its brilliance outshining the sun itself. The force of the attack shattered the earth, creating chasms that stretched for miles. Dust and debris filled the air, obscuring everything.
When the dust finally settled, Loki emerged from the devastation, his white robes tattered and his face bloodied. His eyes, once filled with arrogance, now burned with rage.
"Impressive," Loki admitted, his voice cold and measured. "You're stronger than I expected. But you're still not enough to defeat me."
Badr remained calm, though inwardly he felt a pang of regret. Despite the overwhelming power of his attack, Loki had endured.
"Not bad," Badr said, gripping his sword tightly. "But I was hoping that would end things."
Loki's expression twisted into a sneer. "You'll regret not finishing me while you had the chance."
With a wave of his hand, Loki summoned reinforcements. Five massive serpents, each resembling the mighty Midgardsormr, slithered into existence. Their bodies coiled ominously as they surrounded Badr and the others.
"Great," Rias muttered. "Now he's mass-producing Midgardsormr replicas."
Loki's laughter echoed across the battlefield. "Let's see how long you last against these creatures. And don't forget, Fenrir is still very much alive."
Indeed, on the ground, Rias and her team were locked in battle with Fenrir and its offspring. The addition of the serpents stretched their already limited resources to the breaking point.
"You've got your hands full now," Loki taunted. "And when Fenrir is done with your friends, it'll come for you."
Badr sighed, glancing at the chaos below. "This is getting tiresome."
Then, to Loki's surprise, Badr's figure blurred. A moment later, two identical versions of him stood side by side.
"What...?" Loki's eyes narrowed, his composure faltering for the first time.
Badr smirked. "Don't Say I'm Bullying You."
