...

Riser laughed in anger, "You really don't know your place, do you? You probably don't even realize what you're about to face."

He looked toward the direction of the old school building. "Shuriya, you should have finished by now, right?"

As soon as he spoke, a terrifying wave of magical power emanated from the direction of the old school building.

"That's… our base…" Asia whispered.

Rias's eyes flickered slightly, and she spoke softly, "It's the [Promotion]."

Now, in Riser's team, there was an additional [Queen]!

A young girl named Shuriya flew over with a confident smile on her face.

"Master, I have successfully promoted!"

"Heh, very good, that makes things easier." Riser smiled faintly. With two Queens in a Rating Game, he was almost invincible!

"Rias, what else are you holding onto? Stop resisting and come back to the Underworld with me."

Now that he was in an advantageous position, Riser began his taunting.

Rias and Asia both felt that things were taking a turn for the worse. Their only hope now rested on Badr.

"Stop talking nonsense! I will never give up!"

With a cold snort, Rias launched an attack, even managing to sever one of Riser's arms.

However, in the next second, flames ignited, and Riser's arm regenerated, perfectly demonstrating the Phoenix's trait of resurrection.

"How stubborn… It's a pity, but I've lost my patience. Your hope is pinned on this kid, right? Fine, today I'll burn him to ashes right here! After all, accidental deaths are allowed in the game!"

Riser's killing intent intensified, and his fierce magical power surged toward Badr.

Rias wanted to help, but the two Queens had already entangled her, leaving her unable to assist.

"No!!"

Rias exclaimed in shock.

But just at that moment, Badr, who was standing there, raised his head to face the incoming attack. His lips moved slightly as he spoke softly:

"-Promotion."

…

"-Promotion!"

As Badr whispered, an immense surge of magical power suddenly erupted from his body!

The surging magic formed a towering pillar of light that shot into the sky, stirring up the clouds.

But that wasn't all; in the office of the new school building, which was Riser's base, an identical pillar of light rose up!

Boom!

Riser's magical attack was scattered by the pillar of light as it approached Badr, having no effect on him.

"...This is Promotion?"

Riser was filled with uncertainty and doubt. Even Yubelluna and the newly promoted Queen, Shuriya, stopped their attacks, looking dazed.

Everyone knew that Badr was Rias's [Knight].

But now, this [Knight] had promoted right in front of everyone…

Was everyone seeing things?

This couldn't be a [Pawn's] promotion!

And who was the other person who triggered the pillar of light?

Riser was completely confused, but the big shots watching from the outside knew a bit more of the inside story. They were all shocked by Badr.

Who would have thought that his power could be shared?

To be honest, this was ridiculously overpowered!

From the perspective of those big shots, after Akeno Himejima was defeated, Badr decisively sent his clone back to the sports field, where it headed straight for the principal's office in the new school building.

Now, Rias's side also had two top-tier [Queens] and the support of the [Bishop] Asia's Twilight Healing, which could offset some of the advantages of the Phoenix Tears…

It really was like Badr said, the outcome was still uncertain!

Whoosh!

A sound of wind cutting through the air came, and from the sky, Badr's clone descended, landing beside Badr's main body with a strong gust of wind, maintaining a cool single-knee landing stance.

One stood, the other knelt. The overwhelming magic power made it hard for anyone present to believe what they were seeing.

At this moment, his magic was so vast that it even surpassed both Riser and Rias, who were [Kings]. Such enormous power would cause any High-Class devil to turn pale!

"How is this possible? What kind of cheat method did you use?" Riser couldn't help but mutter, looking at the two Badr's, his eye twitching slightly.

"Cheat? That's a harsh word. Badr is a dual-class piece; he's not just a [Knight], but also a [Pawn]. That's why he can promote!"

Rias finally revealed this secret, her expression filled with excitement;

She had kept Badr's secret all this time, and now, she could finally make a stunning revelation.

Her expression was full of pride, as Badr was her servant, and it felt particularly satisfying for her as the master!

Badr's clone stood up, and suddenly the King's Sword appeared in his hand, with magical power frantically pouring into the blade!

He suddenly slashed toward the girls who had been sealed, sending a dazzling crescent of magic flying towards them!

Already weakened by the seal, how could those girls possibly resist?

The sword's arc grazed across them, leaving bloodstains on their bodies, and blood gushed out.

Amidst cries of pain, their bodies all turned into white light.

After the clone severely injured the girls, turning them all into white light and sending them away, Badr's main body looked at Riser.

"Your turn."

Riser, the third son of the Phoenix family, had never been underestimated like this before.

"Damn it! So what if you're dual-class? How dare you look down on me like this? The Phoenix family is not something you can desecrate! Die!!"

His anger surged, and he unleashed his magic, launching a fierce assault on Badr!

Badr scoffed inwardly, thinking, who wants to desecrate your so-called glory?

"I have no interest in desecrating your glory. I just want to beat you up."

He spoke calmly, and the clone stepped forward, mercilessly slashing with the King's Sword!

The sword unleashed an overwhelming force, and facing the Phoenix Riser, it successfully broke through Riser's magical defense, injuring him.

"Master!"

Yubelluna and Shuriya were worried and rushed forward to help.

Rias was about to stop them when she heard Badr's calm voice: "Rias, leave them to me."

Hearing this, Rias smiled, stopped trying to block the two, and instead took Asia and Ravel to stand together, happily watching the show…

Badr's main body fought Riser one-on-one, while his clone wielded the King's Sword and faced Yubelluna and Shuriya.

After the promotion, Badr felt stronger than ever, with the strength of a Rook, the speed of a Knight, and the magic power of a Bishop. His combined attributes had doubled.

Riser's two Queens had just flown close when they were met with a fierce attack from Badr, and as soon as they clashed, Riser's two Queens were shocked!

They were being completely suppressed.

Badr's strength was overwhelming!

Even in the promoted state, Shuriya was sent flying by a single sword strike from Badr!

"This is impossible! Why is it that even though we both promoted, your power has increased so much more than mine?" Shuriya crashed heavily onto the ground, her face filled with disbelief.

"Hehe, you just used a single [Pawn], while Badr used eight!"

Rias chimed in with her sarcastic remarks, unable to hide the pride on her face.

Her words stunned everyone, and they looked at Badr as if he were a monster.

Yes, eight [Pawns] and two [Knights] were all used on one person. What kind of terrifying potential was this…

Ravel was already dumbfounded, her cute little mouth agape, not knowing what to say.

She realized that Riser might lose today…

But Riser wasn't going to admit defeat.

"I am the Phoenix who commands wind and fire! Do you really think you can defeat me?"

His flesh regenerated, and his injured body quickly healed, as he recklessly engaged in a bloody battle with Badr's main body.

Badr calmly controlled the Sacred Shield. Not only was his clone invincible, but even his Sacred Gear was overpowered. The Sword and Shield could be split and used separately, which meant he essentially had two Sacred Gears…

No matter how Riser attacked, he couldn't break through Badr's defense, and his frustration grew with every strike.

Until he heard two cries of pain from afar.

When he turned his head, he saw Badr's clone holding the King's Sword, defeating and eliminating both of his Queens.

At that moment, Badr's main body smiled faintly:

"Riser, checkmate."

…

With just a simple phrase, Riser almost lost his mind.

Because it was said by Badr, someone who was only at the lower-ranked devil level.

And yet, he, a noble high-ranking devil, a pure-blood devil with innate advantages, was about to lose to such a person?

If he were to lose to someone like Badr, he would truly become a laughingstock!

"Are you kidding me? How dare you say 'checkmate' to me?"

Riser's magic was on the verge of exploding.

"Brother, don't be stupid!" Ravel frowned, seeing that Riser was about to go all out.

Despite Riser's usual haughty demeanor, he took his family's honor very seriously.

He could accept losing in a fight with Rias, as she was also a pureblood devil, but he could not accept losing solely because of Badr.

Yes, today, everything boiled down to Badr. Riser had lost entirely because of Badr alone, with Rias having no part in it.

This was something he couldn't accept.

Wasn't this essentially saying that a pureblood devil was inferior to Badr, a reincarnated devil?

If he had to carry such a burden, Riser couldn't forgive himself!

Boom!!

Magic surged uncontrollably, with his radiant crimson-gold magic blazing like pure golden flames. Riser had reached the point of desperation, launching a ferocious attack on Badr!

Even Rias furrowed her brow slightly, as Riser's current state made her feel a bit anxious for Badr.

Seeing Riser's posture, Badr's eyes lowered slightly.

He could somewhat understand Riser's determination and the unwillingness in his heart.

However... that doesn't mean he didn't deserve a beating.

Badr spread his hands wide, and the Sacred Shield and the King's Sword hovered in front of him, radiating brilliant light and spinning continuously around him.
