...

However, this mad scientist, deeply deceived, would not believe it.

You could say he had become a fervent believer, indifferent to life and death, convinced that even if his body perished, his soul would achieve eternal life under the protection of his god.

“Tsk tsk… the words of a devil are never to be trusted.”

Ituso’s bloodshot eyes gleamed with madness, emitting a hysterical laugh, “Well then… let me show you our great creation!”

He spread his arms, and the machinery behind him roared. The ground slowly opened a hole, lifting a cage from within.

Inside the special metal cage imbued with holy power stood a young boy with closed eyes, looking no different from an ordinary human.

But to Badr and the others, it seemed this boy harbored an immense holy power within him.

“Experiment number 02, one of our two most perfect subjects to date. Using you devils to test his power is more than fitting. Gahaha, I can’t wait to see his performance. He’s our creation, our god.”

Badr smirked, amused by the narrow-mindedness of this human scientist.

Such ignorance is indeed laughable...

“Is this level of power worthy of being called a god?”

He smiled lightly, his tone calm, but to Ituso, it sounded full of mockery.

“Hmph, you devils are as arrogant as ever. Those infiltrators before were the same, and they ended up being captured alive! Hahaha… very well, you too will be captured!”

Ituso rubbed his hands together excitedly, his gaze sweeping over Badr, Rias, and the others. He disgustingly licked his lips:

“After all, you make excellent experimental subjects…”

---

The mad scientist’s behavior directly incited Rias’s anger.

“Hah, let me show you our masterpiece. Number 02, capture them, but don’t kill them completely.”

At Ituso’s command, the cage beside him opened on its own, and the previously motionless boy abruptly opened his eyes.

Those eyes were a deep green.

Brilliant light patterns emerged on Number 02’s body, quickly forming into a suit of holy armor. Simultaneously, a light sword materialized in his hand.

Rias and Badr sensed a wave of holy power from him, seemingly close to that of a high-ranking devil?

The next moment, Number 02 launched an assault, moving at a speed rivaling Badr’s enhanced by the Knight piece.

Badr immediately raised the Shield, activating the full protective field.

Crack!!

A clear sound echoed as the protective field of the Shield was shattered with one strike!

Badr’s eyes narrowed as he grabbed the physical shield in front of him. The next moment, the blade of the light sword struck heavily against the shield.

Bang!!

A severe numbness spread through his arm, and Badr’s body was pushed back over a meter by the powerful force.

Without hesitation, Badr counterattacked with a swift slash, his magical power surging. The King’s Sword struck Number 02, but what could easily pierce holy power was blocked, only knocking Number 02 away without cutting his body.

As the dust settled, Number 02 emerged unscathed, his holy armor gleaming without a scratch.

“Huh? Not bad.”

Rias softly praised, “To think you could modify a human to this extent with your technology. It seems you’ve put in considerable effort.”

“Hahaha… are you surprised? There’s even more!” Ituso laughed proudly.

“Heh, I’m eager to see it.” Rias smiled calmly, not taking Number 02 seriously.

Watching Badr face off against Number 02, she calmly said:

“Badr, you take him on first. We’ll back you up.”

She intended to use this to train Badr’s combat abilities.

Badr nodded directly, “Leave him to me.”

The opponent indeed was a formidable enemy, and Badr intended to use this chance to test his combat strength.

Since his last breakthrough, he hadn’t fought with his full power!

Although Number 02 seemed close to a high-ranking devil in terms of holy power, he hadn’t fully surpassed that limit, making him an ideal sparring partner.

Even if Rias hadn’t suggested it, Badr wouldn’t want them to intervene.

The Shield rotated around his body as Badr gripped the King’s Sword, once again charging at Number 02.

The two clashed again, this time both prepared, neither retreating.

The clash of magic and holy power stirred up a whirlwind. The King’s Sword glowed brilliantly, its dark purple-black hue infused with Badr’s magic, while Number 02’s light sword shone golden. Their collisions sent shockwaves rippling.

The fierce exchange created air ripples, distorting the air, with both sides evenly matched.

Wherever they clashed, the floor shattered, and metal experimental devices crumbled like clay.

Both Badr and Number 02 displayed destructive power far beyond typical mid-level devils, standing out even among that tier!

“Ara… Badr’s magic has become this strong?” Akeno Himejima was slightly surprised, remembering that Badr had only recently broken through.

How had his magic surpassed many mid-level devils in such a short time?

“That’s because he’s been training diligently,” Rias’s expression softened.

She always knew Badr trained seriously every day, not only in contract signing but also using the dangerous Gear resonance method nightly.

Every day, he strived to become stronger, leaving no method untouched.

His progress didn’t surprise Rias at all.

He deserved it.

Asia also knew this well, having aided Badr in his training. The injuries from his training often shocked her, making her want him to stop.

But she knew he wouldn’t give up easily, so she persevered, growing her healing abilities by treating his training injuries…

“Damn it, Number 02, what are you doing? Can’t even handle a single devil?”

Ituso was frustrated, not seeing Number 02 dominate as expected.

After all, Number 02 had easily torn apart mid-level devil spies before.

Number 02 seemed to receive the order, his holy power boiling, the light sword shining brilliantly as he adopted a do-or-die approach.

Badr remained composed, blocking the fierce attacks with the Sacred Shield. Despite the increasing assault, he withstood each blow.

Ituso wasn’t blind, quickly realizing something was wrong.

“What’s with that shield? Is it… a Sacred Gear?”

“Oh? You have good eyes, recognizing it as a Sacred Gear.” Rias smiled proudly, clearly pleased with Badr’s performance.

Thinking back, Badr had never disappointed her, his excellence beyond reproach.

“Damn it, so it’s a Sacred Gear… Well, Sacred Gears aren’t invincible. It’s time to see Number 02’s true power! Watch closely; even I don’t know the outcome!”

He laughed maniacally, commanding Number 02, “Use the Holy Sword!!”

Hearing Ituso’s command, Rias’s expression finally changed!

“Holy Sword!?”

---

The term “Holy Sword” made Rias’s expression serious.

Upon Ituso’s command, Number 02 dismissed the light sword, and the next moment, a long sword exuding holy aura appeared in his hand.

The appearance of this sword caused all the devils present to feel a chill, as if a natural enemy had arrived.

Badr’s gaze swept over the Holy Sword, sensing it was a formidable weapon despite not fully understanding it.

“This is one of the six Holy Relics held by the Church? How did you get it…”

Rias’s eyes darkened as she stepped forward, “Badr, be careful. We’ll face him together.”

“Okay.”

Badr nodded without hesitation.

It seemed Rias knew the Holy Sword’s destructive power and was concerned Badr might not be its match, hence deciding to join forces.

Ituso laughed, “All my experiments aim to make humans suitable for wielding Holy Swords. Behold my research results! Great, isn’t it?!”

“I see. I’ve heard of the [Holy Sword Project]. Was that your work too?” Rias asked coldly.

“Heh, surprised you know about it. Yes, it was my teacher’s project. Joining it allowed me to delve into the truth of life and soul.”

Ituso spread his arms, looking like he wanted to embrace something, appearing quite deranged.

Rias took a deep breath, understanding the gravity of the situation. The Church’s powerful Holy Sword was here, suggesting possible Church involvement in this plan.

The situation had too many uncertainties, but defeating this guy was paramount now.

“All members, attack!”

Rias spread her fingers, opting for the safest, most direct gang-up method to avoid injuries.

Number 02 wielded the Holy Sword, his already substantial holy power becoming even more overwhelming;

Badr took a slash with the Sacred Shield, his arm numb, and noticed the magic within the shield being extinguished, signaling a dire situation.

“Holy Swords are historical relics, kingly weapons passed down through history. Avoid being struck, or you’ll suffer greatly.”

Rias warned Badr while casting her spells.

However, the Holy Sword’s terrifying power began to show. In Number 02’s suicidal attack style, it not only nullified Rias and the others’ attacks but also deterred Koneko from engaging.

The Holy Sword’s anti-devil properties made its impact significantly damaging, causing extreme pain even from a minor cut.

Koneko, relying on her strength and defense, felt constrained by the Holy Sword’s

 restraint, unable to exert her full power.

After a fierce clash, Number 02’s Holy Sword cut through the air, narrowly missing Akeno’s side and destroying a significant portion of the experimental equipment.

Dust settled, and even Ituso, from a distance, was terrified by the terrifying power of the Holy Sword.

“Hah, how’s that! This is the power of a god’s weapon, the Holy Sword!”

“Shut up,” Rias couldn’t contain her anger, launching a surge of magic power in her hands, continuously attacking Number 02.

Asia also cast healing spells to maintain Badr and others’ battle strength.
