Chapter 16: The Stray Devil's End

Thud... Thud... Thud...

Heavy footsteps echoed, revealing a form that was no longer human.

The woman's lower half had transformed into a monstrous, terrifying beast!

"...I thought all devils were as beautiful and cute as the President, Akeno, and Koneko," Badr couldn't help but comment.

It was an eyesore.

Seriously, her upper body was quite attractive.

But what's going on with this sudden change in the lower body?

This isn't good; I must wash my eyes thoroughly when I return.

The three beautiful girls remained silent. Badr's focus was rather odd. His first reaction to seeing the Stray Devil wasn't fear but an unusual concern for its appearance.

"Betraying or killing one's master and recklessly using power will corrupt both body and mind."

Koneko said expressionlessly, stepping forward to face the now monstrous devil.

The Stray Devil sneered, "Hypocrites, suppressing your true nature, are you even devils?"

"You dare lecture us? Betraying your master and acting wantonly to satisfy your desires is worthy of a thousand deaths."

Rias's red hair fluttered as she glared sharply at the towering monster. "In the name of Duke Gremory, I'll obliterate you!"

"Hahaha... Arrogant, aren't we? You're just an underdeveloped little girl. I'll kill you and dye your body red like your hair!"

"Minor villains always boast."

Rias was unbothered, her words infuriating the Stray Devil.

It raised a massive beastly leg, aiming to crush Rias.

As the attack came, Badr and the others didn't move.

The giant beast's foot descended but abruptly stopped just before impact, then retreated rapidly.

Koneko had moved forward, her fist raised, standing fearlessly. She had punched the monstrous attack away with terrifying strength.

Despite her petite and adorable appearance, Koneko, as a Rook, possessed immense defensive power and incredible strength.

That tiny, irresistibly cute body held astonishing power!

...

With a single strike, Koneko sent the massive beast tumbling backwards, smashing into a wall before stopping.

This was characteristic of a Rook—overwhelming strength and potent defence, effortlessly blasting away a creature several times her size.

"Akeno, it's your turn."

"Understood, President. Oh my, what should I do?"

Akeno advanced with a smile that felt like a gentle breeze, but a powerful aura of magic surged around her.

Rias explained to Badr, "Akeno, as a Queen, has the traits of all the devil pieces."

Badr inquired about his piece.

He knew his pieces combined Knight and Pawn, but he had only experienced the Knight's speed, never the Pawn's trait.

Rias smiled, "A Pawn has the promotion trait. Upon reaching the enemy's territory, you can transform into any piece except the King."

Badr's eyes lit up with understanding.

It seemed every piece had its powerful trait, even his seemingly weak Pawn.
