His gaze turned cold as he looked back at Freed;

He began to increase his magical output.

The King's Sword in his hand instantly emitted a surging wave of magical power.

Buzz~

The blade lightly trembled, as if excitedly yearning for battle.

Air was rapidly drawn into his abdomen, and his legs suddenly exerted force!

Badr's figure vanished from the spot in an instant, moving at a speed too fast for the naked eye to catch.

Although Freed was neurotic, his skills were not weak. At this moment, he instinctively met the direction of the magical attack with his light sword. With a clang, he blocked the incoming King's Sword.

However, in the next moment, he felt an immense force surge along the blade. The light sword in his hand was violently slapped back, smashing into his own body.

Freed's body immediately tilted backward and flew out, spewing blood wildly in mid-air!

"Blagh—"

Boom!!

Freed crashed into the wall, producing a loud bang, causing the wall to collapse.

Badr's powerful and heavy strike almost split him in half!

Even before Badr became a Devil, the King's Sword could kill a fallen angel in one blow. Now that his power had greatly increased, its might had multiplied several times.

Badr nodded in satisfaction.

Though the strike seemed ordinary, it was due to the extremely restrained power, unlike the previously radiant sword strikes that scattered energy.

Such dazzling sword light, though beautiful, wasted much energy. The recent strike, with precise control of magical power, caught the priest off guard, leading to a significant loss.

Seeing the priest bounce off the wall, fall to the ground, gasping for breath, and coughing up several mouthfuls of blood, Badr charged forward again without a word, intending to finish him off with one blow.

"Not good! Escape!!"

Seeing himself unable to match Badr, a trace of fear flashed in Freed's eyes. He took out a bullet from his pocket and slammed it to the ground.

Swish!!

A blinding holy light burst forth, severely affecting Badr, causing his skin to sting unbearably.

He had to halt his attack, summoning the Shield to block the light.

When the holy light disappeared, Freed was nowhere to be seen.

Escaped?

Badr frowned, feeling quite displeased.

How despicable to use a holy flashbang...

Damn.

Over there, Asia was staring blankly at Badr.

To be precise, she was staring at the black Devil wings behind him.

"Mr. Badr is... a Devil?"

"Why were you with someone like that?" Badr asked, his tone indifferent.

Before determining her stance, he obviously didn't trust her.

"...I, I followed the church's arrangement. I didn't expect..."

Asia looked at the half-buried corpse under the wall, her face turning pale in fright.
