"Big Sis!"
On the other side, it seemed to be the younger sister, who became angry when she saw her older sister get knocked away.
"I'll tear you to pieces!"
Badr sneered and exchanged a few blows with her. Seizing the opportunity, he kicked her hard on the buttocks.
If you want to tear me to pieces, it's only fair that I kick your butt into eight pieces. Very reasonable, and quite merciful.
The two sisters suffered a huge loss, and Badr severely injured them both!
Badr couldn't help but wonder why they never learned their lesson.
They underestimated Badr's strength, assuming he was just an ordinary [Knight].
In reality, Badr's two attacks had already rendered these two mid-level Devil [Pawns] incapable of fighting!
Whoosh~~
A gust of wind approached. It was that girl named Mira, her face full of defiance.
"you're not a low-level Devil at all."
Badr found it amusing: "Is your role in the team just to be a vase? Are you still using Devil ranks to measure your opponents' strength?"
He was still a low-level Devil simply because he hadn't taken that annoying exam yet. His actual strength was already that of a solid mid-level Devil.
As he finished speaking, Badr calmly dodged several downward strikes from Mira's staff, found an opening, and unleashed a punch imbued with magic directly to her stomach.
"Ah..." Mira let out a scream, spat out a mouthful of blood, and her body flew out like a cannonball. Before she hit the ground, she turned into a white light and vanished.
The injury was too severe, threatening her life, and she was transported out.
Badr then swung his sword, striking the twin sisters, causing two more screams as they turned into white light and disappeared.
Meanwhile, Koneko Toujou was still fiercely fighting the girl in the cheongsam. Badr, seeing this, joined the battle without hesitation. With their combined efforts, they quickly sent the girl flying into the air.
Koneko Toujou rushed forward and punched her in the chest, causing her cheongsam to burst open. Unfortunately, Badr only caught a quick glimpse before she turned into white light and vanished.
Koneko, you did that on purpose, didn't you?
Although that girl was indeed well-endowed, Koneko's punch caused significant damage despite the distance.
Grayfia's voice soon followed over the broadcast:
"Three [Pawns] and one [Rook] of Riser Phenex are out of combat."
First victory secured.
With Badr's formidable strength, he easily dealt with Riser's three pawn pieces.
"Why do they seem so weak..."
Badr muttered to himself.
He had always thought the enemies would be strong, convinced that Riser's subordinates would also be formidable. But from the current outcome, he seemed capable of taking them down in seconds...
Koneko Toujou approached, her clothes somewhat damaged from the continuous close combat.
"Not everyone is as abnormal as you, Badr."
She said this while stretching. The torn clothes added a bit of allure, but Koneko's cute yet pure face carried an inviolable expression, making her look particularly unique.
Koneko Toujou was indeed adorable.
Badr smiled lightly: "Is that actually a compliment?"
"If you think it is, then it is," Koneko said calmly, turning to head toward the sports field.
At that moment, Badr's expression suddenly tightened. He sensed a violent surge of magic rapidly approaching Koneko Toujou's direction!
Such a fierce magic!
"Watch out!!"
Badr instantly burst into full speed, his body disappearing from sight. The [Knight] enhancement on speed was fully evident!
He flashed to Koneko Toujou's side and immediately deployed the Sacred Shield, protecting both of them within it.
Boom!!
Crack!!
The defensive barrier formed by the Sacred Shield only lasted a little over a second before cracks began to spread rapidly, on the verge of shattering!
"Run."
Badr then pushed Koneko Toujou away.
"Badr!!" Koneko cried out in surprise, her eyes filled with anxiety.
But Badr couldn't care about that now. The overwhelming force of the magic made him realize that the opponent was definitely not simple!
This power must be at the level of a High-Class Devil!
Apart from Riser, there was only one other person with such strength.
Riser's [Queen]!!
Badr's realized that Riser wouldn't just sit back and do nothing. He would definitely take action.
But he didn't expect Riser to send his [Queen] for a sneak attack.
As the barrier was about to break, Badr immediately channeled his magic, preparing to forcibly withstand the attack with the Sacred Shield.
In the outside world, it would be difficult for Badr to take this hit head-on. But now that he had a doppelganger, with shared magic power, his strength had essentially doubled, significantly increasing his chances of withstanding the attack.
Within just three seconds, the low-level defensive barrier shattered completely. The magic force only slightly weakened, then came crashing down on Badr!
His body was instantly engulfed in flames, even knocking Koneko Toujou away again, rolling several times on the ground before stopping.
"Heh..."
A cold laugh came from the sky. A mature woman in a magician's cloak, holding a staff, hovered in the air. The cloak spread out like wings, looking very imposing.
Riser's [Queen], Yubelluna!
"Did I break it?"
Yubelluna smiled confidently, believing that Badr, as a mere Knight, couldn't possibly withstand her attack.
However, a calm voice soon emerged from the explosion's smoke and dust.
"You're overthinking it."
Yubelluna's expression immediately froze.
She saw the smoke and dust on the field clear, revealing Badr's tall and slender figure standing intact.
Although the surrounding ground had sunk nearly five meters, the spot where he stood remained unscathed!
Above his head, a silver shield shone brightly, adorned with scenes of worshippers, birds, and flowers, exuding a grand and majestic aura.
"He actually blocked it?"
Yubelluna was secretly shocked. "How is this possible? Isn't he just a [Knight]? How did he block an attack from a [Queen] like me?"
In the Rating Game, the [Queen] piece possesses the strongest combat ability of all pieces because the only [Queen] combines the attributes of all other pieces!
For example, the [Rook]'s defense and strength, the [Knight]'s speed, the [Bishop]'s magic power, etc., making the [Queen]'s combat power unparalleled!
Koneko Toujou, who had been worried that Badr was out, was overjoyed:
"You're okay, that's great..."
"Almost got ambushed."
Badr smiled, thankful for the double magic power from his doppelganger, allowing him to withstand the attack.
At this moment, Badr heard Rias Gremory's voice through his magic communicator. She had given them these communicators before they set out for real-time contact.
"What just happened?"
"Nothing much, Riser's [Queen] is here," Badr explained the situation.
Rias was startled: "Are you okay? Do you need me to come over right away?"
She remembered Badr's plan for her to hold off Riser's [Queen] so that Akeno Himejima could deal with the remaining Rook and Knights.
"No need, I just took out three soldiers." Badr declined Rias offer. Rias couldn't leave now; otherwise, their base would be exposed.
At that moment, a thunderous sound came from afar, followed by Grayfia's announcement:
"Two [Pawns] and one [Bishop] of Riser Phenex are out of combat."
It was Akeno Himejima; she must have caught the enemy's sneaky team.
Badr couldn't help but smile. This battle was going smoother than expected; they had taken down seven enemies so quickly!
"I'll handle her," Akeno's voice came from a distance. She descended from the sky, standing between Badr and Yubelluna.
She had already set up the illusion array and, after dealing with the three attackers, was now free.
"Alright, Akeno, you hold her off for a bit. I'll go find the others."
Badr smiled, leaving with Koneko Toujou. Soon, more good news came.
His doppelganger had found Riser's other team.
Judging by the lineup, there was a [Bishop], two [Knights], two [Pawns], and a [Rook].
Six in total, almost all the pieces.
Odd... where's the other [Pawn]?
Badr pondered, realizing that Riser, having suffered a major loss, must have taken this seriously. That [Pawn] was likely trying to sneak into their base for a promotion.
If they succeeded, with Yubelluna's help, they would have two [Queens], plus Riser himself, securing victory!
Just as he had planned...
However, Badr's doppelganger was the most secret weapon in this battle. Riser had no idea Badr had such a cheat-like existence!
The doppelganger was entirely in the shadows...
Hehe, maybe he could give Riser a big surprise later...
---
"Rias, I've found the last pieces. They're all near the playground."
Badr relayed the information to Rias through the magic communicator.
Hearing this, Rias thoughts aligned with Badr's.
"Should I come over and launch an attack?"
"Sure, I'll coordinate with you."
Badr kept an eye on the group of pieces through his clone's perspective, while his main body, along with Koneko Toujou, headed towards the playground!
Rias soon arrived at the playground with Asia in tow, and from a distance, they could see Riser team clearing the magical energy from the illusion array.
After clearing one of the array's nodes, one of the [Rook] could see Rias old school building in the distance and grinned:
"Did they really think they could block us with just this illusion array? How naive."
The illusion array set up by Akeno Himejima was indeed useful, but it mostly lacked offensive capabilities and served only to delay time.
