"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.
