Seeing Kokabiel charge forward, Badr showed no fear. [King Shield], which had been with his clone, vanished and reappeared before his main body.
Badr raised his head, his black eyes blazing with a brilliant golden light!
The heavens trembled as an aura of ancient power filled the air!
[King Shield] before Badr radiated with intense light!
Facing Kokabiel, a Fallen Angel whose power surpassed that of a high-class devil, Badr finally unleashed his ultimate move!
The Endless Dusk City!
Hum~~~
The air vibrated, ripples spreading outwards!
Rias and the others stared wide-eyed, hope flickering in their gazes.
He had activated it!
Badr's [Balance Breaker]!!
It seemed their only hope now rested on this technique!
Kokabiel's Sacred power surged towards Badr in the form of a massive spear of light. Badr extended his left hand, his fingers morphing into claws.
He would meet the attack head-on!
Boom!!
Sacred light and flames erupted as the spear of light struck Badr's palm and exploded. For a moment, Badr vanished from sight.
As the light faded, Badr reappeared, completely unharmed.
His devil wings unfurled behind him as he hovered in mid-air, [King Sword] gleaming in his right hand. [King Shield] floated beside him, slowly rotating around his body.
The young man raised his head, his black eyes now completely gold, with vertical black slits in the center. Though his gaze was calm, it held an undeniable aura of authority and power, captivating and intimidating.
Above him, the ripples in the air intensified, culminating in the manifestation of a colossal, ancient city that filled the entire sky. Its vast expanse stretched endlessly towards the horizon, its limits beyond sight.
What was even more terrifying was that the portion visible to them seemed to be only a fraction of its true size. An unknown portion remained hidden within the void, unable to fully manifest!
In the distance, Sona Sitri and the others, who were maintaining the barrier, stared in awe.
Anyone who faced such a colossal entity would feel a sense of their own insignificance deep within their hearts.
"It's... even larger than before..."
Tsubaki Shinra's voice was hoarse. Standing beneath the shadow of the city, her legs trembled involuntarily. her fear of gigantic objects was acting up...
"President, can... can Badr really defeat Kokabiel?" Genshirou Saji couldn't help but ask.
"...I'm not sure."
Sona shook her head.
After all, Kokabiel was a Cadre of the Fallen Angels, whose power surpassed that of a high-class devil. Who could guarantee victory against such a formidable opponent?
But... Sona couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation for Badr.
She didn't know why, but every time she saw him, his calm and composed demeanor instilled a strange confidence in her.
She felt that if it were him, he might actually be able to pull off a miracle...
...
The black city hung in the sky, its buildings clearly visible, yet eerily empty.
The silent city, carrying the weight of countless ages, dominated the heavens, making everyone below feel a suffocating pressure.
Badr felt the power surging within him. He was currently in both the [Stasis] and [Amplification] states. [King Sword's] amplification had increased even further, reaching an astonishing fifteen times!
A glint of killing intent flashed in his eyes as he vanished without warning, reappearing instantly before Kokabiel!
[King Sword] slashed downwards, carrying a torrent of demonic power that sent shivers down everyone's spines.
The sheer might of this attack had also surpassed the level of a high-class devil!
Rias and the others were overjoyed. They hadn't expected Badr's power to reach such heights!
For the first time, Kokabiel's expression turned serious. He flapped his Fallen Angel wings with all his might, raising them like Sacred swords to block [King Sword's] attack.
Sacred and demonic power clashed violently. Aside from Badr and Kokabiel, who were locked in a fierce exchange, everyone else was sent flying by the tremendous shockwave.
Badr pressed his attack, unleashing a relentless barrage of blows upon Kokabiel.
The Fallen Angel, his heart filled with frustration, could only defend against Badr's relentless assault.
Kokabiel had never imagined that this boy could reach such a level of power!
And what was even more bizarre was that Badr completely disregarded his own defense, focusing solely on offense!
Did he think he was some easy target?!
This enraged Kokabiel beyond measure.
He finally lost his patience, deciding to land a blow on Badr even if it meant taking a hit himself!
He unleashed a deadly attack, his light blade slashing towards Badr's neck!
But what happened next shocked him to his core. Badr took the hit head-on, his flesh and blood resisting the Sacred blade. His neck, which should have been severed, somehow withstood the attack!
Not even a scratch!
What the hell was going on?!
Kokabiel had participated in countless battles, but he had never encountered an ability like this.
His full-powered attack, as a Cadre of the Fallen Angels, hadn't even broken his opponent's skin. Who would believe such a thing...?
As the price for tanking the attack, Badr's sword slammed into Kokabiel's shoulder, nearly severing his arm!
The Endless Dusk City had been successfully activated. In this state, Badr was invincible. His body was in [Stasis], eternally frozen in his current condition. He couldn't be injured, but his existing wounds wouldn't heal either.
Without the need for defense, Badr could focus entirely on offense. For the duration of the Endless Dusk City, all he needed to do was attack relentlessly.
With his increased demonic power, he could maintain this state for fifteen minutes. This was the most crucial period!
Badr soared into the sky, clashing with Kokabiel high above the ground.
Their bodies became streaks of light, trailing long tails of demonic and Sacred energy as they exchanged blows at incredible speeds.
Badr attacked relentlessly, while Kokabiel's attacks were rendered useless, forcing him to constantly defend.
This battle was incredibly frustrating for Kokabiel!
"Damn it... how can there be such a unreasonable ability?!"
He spread his hands, Sacred power surging around him and forming a massive wave that crashed towards Badr, attempting to halt his advance.
But it was all in vain. Badr ignored the attack completely, his body withstanding the impact as he emerged from the wave, [King Sword] slashing downwards.
Thud!

Two black wings of the Fallen Angel were severed by a single sword strike!
"Aagh!! Damn it, you cut off my wings!!"
"What's there to be arrogant about? You're just a Pigeon with black wings," Badr said coldly, relentlessly slashing with his sword.
Kokabiel was furious but couldn't do anything against Badr.
At this moment, Badr's power had surpassed Kokabiel's!
He was suppressing the Fallen Angel Cadre!
Witnessing this scene, Rias, Akeno, and the others were dumbfounded...
They knew that Badr would be formidable after activating his Balance Breaker, but they hadn't expected him to be this powerful...
"Quick, stop the magic circle!"
Rias snapped out of her daze and immediately ordered Akeno and the others to disable the magic circle. With Badr holding the front line and Kokabiel preoccupied, it was the perfect opportunity.
Badr felt the drain on his demonic power and sighed inwardly.
The consumption rate was still too high. Even with his Promotion and King Sword's amplification, he couldn't sustain it indefinitely.
Could he completely defeat this guy within the time limit...?
If not, things would get troublesome.
Without the Endless Dusk City, Badr was just a Mid-Class devil. Though he could exert the combat power of a High-Class devil, he was still far from Kokabiel's level.
He had to finish this quickly...
Badr thought to himself, his attacks accelerating.
Being overwhelmed by someone he had initially looked down upon enraged Kokabiel.
"Don't get cocky, you damn insect! Your current state can't last long, can it? Let's see how long you can hold out!"
Being a creature who had lived for eons, Kokabiel's judgment was sharp. He quickly identified Badr's weakness.
He was confident that Badr couldn't maintain this invincible state for long. Once it faded, it would be his turn to unleash his fury!
Badr responded with an emotionless, cold snort.
"Shut up."
King Sword unleashed a torrent of sword strikes, focusing solely on offense. Coupled with his superior power, Badr quickly dismantled Kokabiel's Fallen Angel wings, which had been used for defense.
The ten-winged Fallen Angel was plucked clean by Badr!
Thud!!
Seizing the opening, Badr kicked Kokabiel in the face, sending him stumbling.
Kokabiel went berserk. He had never suffered such humiliation!
Boom!!!
An unimaginable surge of Sacred power erupted as the enraged Kokabiel unleashed a super-tier spell!
"-Judgment of the Seraphim!"
Kokabiel roared. Though he was far from possessing the power of a Seraph, the name of the spell was indeed intimidating. It was a devastatingly powerful technique. If successfully cast, its destructive force would be catastrophic!
Rias and the others' expressions changed drastically.
There was no doubt that Kokabiel possessed the power to destroy the entire city. If he unleashed this spell, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Its destructive power was definitely no less than the magic circle's explosion!
Badr, however, remained calm, his eyes narrowed.
"You're losing your composure. Do you think I'm just a decoration?"
He swung his sword and simultaneously activated the Sealing Devil. The terrifying sword pressure and the unique effect of the Sealing Devil disrupted Kokabiel's spellcasting, rendering it stillborn!
Did he really think he was foolish enough to let him cast such a costly and easily interruptible spell right in front of him?
...
Kokabiel had indeed been driven to irrationality by anger.
Previously, he had held an inflated ego, believing himself invincible and in complete control.
But Badr's appearance had dealt a severe blow to his pride!
Who could have predicted this?
After all, before this, Badr had appeared to be nothing more than a weak, mid-class devil. Kokabiel could have crushed him with a single finger!
Who could have imagined that this boy possessed such a hidden ability, capable of boosting his power to such terrifying heights?
This boy was a monster...
Kokabiel finally panicked. The failed spellcasting and the resulting disruption of his Holy power made him feel like vomiting blood.
Badr pressed his advantage, his composure unwavering. He maintained firm control over the battle. Despite the time constraint, he remained calm, meticulously chipping away at the Fallen Angel's strength.
He was waiting for the perfect moment to deliver the final blow!
Meanwhile, high above in the distance, a white-haired young man spoke calmly to a man beside him.
"Azazel, it seems my intervention is no longer necessary."
The white-haired young man floated effortlessly in the air. Beside him stood the leader of all Fallen Angels, the Governor General, Azazel!
Azazel looked up at the colossal city in the sky, his face filled with intrigue.
"Now, now, don't be hasty, Vali. Let's observe a little longer. That boy is exceeding expectations. I'm quite curious if he can actually defeat that idiot."
"He made the mistake of attempting to cast a spell at the wrong time. The outcome is clear," Vali said calmly. "That boy's Sacred Gear is powerful, no less than my [Divine Dividing]. It's undoubtedly a Longinus-class Sacred Gear."
"Heh, of course, I can see that!"
Azazel chuckled. "That's why I'm curious. Speaking of which, that Sacred Gear is remarkable. It has granted him invincibility for so long. And that giant city in the sky... I wonder what its effects are. I've been eagerly waiting..."
"Give it up. With that boy's current power, he shouldn't be able to unleash the true power of that ancient city."
Vali gazed up at the city in the sky, a flicker of fighting spirit in his eyes.
It was conceivable that once this boy reached his full potential, his power would be terrifying. The thought excited Vali.
If possible, he would love to have a battle with this boy.
Azazel found Vali's words reasonable and felt a tinge of regret.
"Damn it. If only that boy's power was a bit stronger, we might have witnessed the true power of that ancient city. Now my curiosity is piqued, and it's quite frustrating..."
"The outcome will be decided soon. That boy is gathering his power..."
Vali suddenly declared.
Within the barrier, Kokabiel was starting to panic.
"Y... damn it! I admit.. you're stronger now!"
Kokabiel, struggling to suppress his anger, desperately fended off Badr's attacks. He spoke urgently,
"A strong individual like you shouldn't be content to be someone else's dog! Why not join me? We can overthrow those in power together! You can have anything you desire then!"
"Is that so?"
Badr responded indifferently. "What can you offer me?"
"With our combined strength, we can achieve anything! Why remain subservient to others?!"
Kokabiel pressed on, seeing a potential opening in Badr's demeanor.
His words alarmed Rias and the others. "Don't listen to him! That guy is cunning!"
Badr was inwardly amused. He wasn't that gullible.
"Are you joking? Trying to tempt a devil? We're the masters of manipulation."
He spoke calmly, then a smirk spread across his face as if he had just thought of something.
"Besides, why do you assume I'm subservient? I'm on top of Rias every night! I'm quite enjoying being her servant."
Kokabiel: "...??"
Rias: "...??"
Everyone: "Eh...???"
For a moment, everyone was stunned into silence.
Rias face flushed crimson as she realized what Badr meant...
Taking advantage of Kokabiel's momentary shock, Badr unleashed the demonic power he had been accumulating!
Hum!!
His vast demonic power surged outwards, distorting the surrounding space. The sheer amount of demonic power released was terrifying!
