...
Badr remained calm, but Koneko Toujou chimed in:
"That was pathetic."
"...," Badr was momentarily speechless, "Koneko, whose side are you on?"
"I'm on the side of the women," Koneko replied bluntly.
"...I wouldn't use that move on you anyway."
"Even so, that move is still pathetic," Koneko commented, seemingly pouting.
Badr sighed, flicking the sealing magic mark that buzzed around him like a little bee, and spoke in a steady tone:
"My reputation will be ruined by you sooner or later."
...
Badr's timing for using the Forbidden Magic Field was perfect, and the remaining fallen angels were captured alive.
With the sealing magic marks restraining them, they wouldn't be able to cause any trouble in the short term.
Rias retracted her magic and, along with Akeno Himejima, walked over.
"Great timing, Badr."
She smiled, praising Badr's control over the battlefield. His intervention had thwarted the fallen angels' desperate plan and gave her the opportunity to interrogate them.
"Good morning, beautiful fallen angels."
Rias maintained an elegant smile, but to the fallen angels, she seemed high and mighty.
"Hmph, what's there to be proud of?" one of the fallen angels snorted coldly.
Although defeated, they were still defiant.
They didn't realize that this was just Rias usual demeanor. Her cold and aloof aura made her seem unattainable, which was why she was the dream goddess of all the boys at Kuoh Academy.
"Ha ha, there's nothing for me to be proud of. Defeating a few weaklings like you isn't worth my pride."
Rias elegant smile remained as she approached the fallen angels lying on the ground, looking down at them.
"So, what's your plan?"
Naturally, the fallen angels didn't cooperate, and one of them immediately burst into mocking laughter:
"Interrogate us? You're dreaming, you bitch. Do you think you can leave this space alive? That master will kill you all! Ha ha ha..."
A flash of cold light, and a sword pierced through the woman's mouth, from the right side to the left. With a twist of the blade, a severed tongue mixed with teeth and flesh flew out, and blood splattered everywhere.
Badr held the King Sword, stepping on the woman's face, pressing her head to the ground, looking down at her with a calm expression.
"You don't seem to know how to speak properly."
His tone was calm, but his black eyes were filled with an oppressive force.
This calm demeanor combined with sudden ruthlessness gave off a menacing feeling, effectively intimidating the remaining fallen angels.
Seeing Badr protecting her so fiercely, Rias smile grew wider, clearly appreciating his actions.
Meanwhile, Akeno Himejima looked regretful: "Oh my~, I should've taken that chance."
She regretted not acting in time, letting Badr steal the opportunity. It was such a good chance for some sadistic fun...
Badr calmly glanced at the four remaining fallen angels, "There are still four left."
"Ha ha, Badr, you're so considerate," Akeno Himejima chuckled. Who knows what kind of consideration that was, perhaps because Badr left her four targets for her sadistic enjoyment?
Rias glanced at Akeno, "Don't flirt with Badr."
"Ara ara~ alright~"
Badr then spoke, "Rias, if we can't get anything out of these guys, we should go check ourselves. Let's not stay here too long."
"You have two minutes," Rias instructed Akeno Himejima.
"Yes, President."
Akeno Himejima licked her lips, smiling at the fallen angels. To them, her gentle smile seemed eerie.
"What are you going to do?" The fallen angels trembled slightly, fear creeping into their hearts.
"Oh, don't worry, we have two minutes to spend together..." Akeno's tone was gentle, but her fingertips sparked with golden lightning...
Soon, the place echoed with agonizing screams.
In just two minutes, the screams went from high-pitched to weak. Badr held Asia, letting her bury her face in his chest, shielding the pure-hearted girl from the gruesome scene...
Akeno returned, her gentle smile intact, but her long, slender white legs were still stained with blood...
She didn't seem to care about her terrifying appearance at that moment and spoke to Rias and the others:
"They were quite stubborn. They only mentioned the core location of this space, which seems to be some kind of lab."
Badr nonchalantly remarked, "I see. That place must be dangerous."
"Certainly. They probably plan to ambush us there," Akeno said with a smile.
"Even so, we have to go there," Rias smiled faintly, "Let's see what kind of surprise they have prepared for us."
The group set off immediately. After dealing with the fallen angels, there seemed to be little resistance left in this space. Badr and the others advanced unhindered to the core area.
Here stood a lab, brimming with modern technology. It seemed the fallen angels had moved human structures here.
At first glance, Badr felt the lab resembled a cage, with Holy-powered metal pillars surrounding it.
The lab's door was closed, and Badr and Koneko Toujou led the way. The door, sensing their approach, automatically opened to both sides.
The scene in the hall came into view.
"This is..."
Seeing the scene ahead, Asia covered her mouth.
In the hall, there were rows of jars filled with green liquid. Inside each jar, a naked human floated, men and women alike, nearly a hundred in total.
"Human experiments?"
Badr raised an eyebrow, sensing life signs in these people but also a strange feeling, as if they were no longer human, just empty shells.
"These insolent fools have extracted these people's souls," Rias said, her face darkening.
"Where are the people?"
"They probably ran away," Badr replied, "These people were probably useless to them, so they left them here."
"Hmph, cunning fallen angels," Rias snorted coldly.
At this moment, they heard the sound of glass breaking.
They turned to see a container's glass cracking and then shattering completely.
A human woman fell out of the liquid, coughing violently, which soon turned into low growls, indicating extreme pain.
A terrifying scene unfolded quickly. Her skin began to rot rapidly, her entire body swelling grotesquely, transforming into a hideous monster in mere seconds.
...
Accompanied by a nauseating smell, the pus-covered humanoid monster stood up, roaring at Badr and the others.
"What's happening?" Badr looked at Rias.
Rias sighed lightly, "I told you before, whether it's angels, Devils, or humans, the external form is shaped by the power of the soul. This is why the power of the soul can affect the body and sacred gears."
She looked at the humanoid monster ahead, her eyes cold:
"But if the soul is extracted or corrupted, the external body will undergo bizarre mutations, as we see here."
The Stray Devil they fought before had experienced this, though he had fallen on his own, corrupting his soul.
In other words, these humans had become soulless husks, transforming into unpredictable mutants.
"This is too cruel..." Asia was visibly shaken by the sight.
Her inherently kind nature couldn't accept such cruelty.
"Even more cruel experiments exist. But both angels and Devils currently prohibit such experiments."
Rias continued, pointing at the green liquid with a cold expression:
"This liquid seems to be a hibernation-inducing agent. Soaking in it puts the body into a dormant state. It looks like the people here sabotaged these tanks before they left."
"Someone plans to use these mutants to kill us," Akeno chuckled.
"It won't be that simple," Rias shook her head, "These mutants are too weak. The real threat lies ahead."
Badr stepped forward, channeling magic power into his sword, the King Sword glowing brightly.
The humanoid monster lunged at Badr, but the next second, it was struck by the dazzling sword light and sent flying.
"Hmm?"
Expecting to incinerate it with one blow, Badr was surprised.
"These people have Holy power in them," Rias revealed.
It seemed those conducting the experiments had significant ambitions, bestowing Holy power on ordinary humans.
Badr swung his sword again, this time with more magic power, successfully reducing the mutant to ashes.
Akeno and the others also acted, destroying all the experimental subjects in the lab before they could mutate.
"We've wasted a lot of time. The mastermind is probably ready," Badr spoke softly, aware they couldn't ignore the experimental subjects.
If the spatial barrier broke and these mutants escaped, it would cause chaos outside, becoming a significant issue.
"Ha, whatever they're planning is futile," Rias said confidently. As the heir of the Gremory family and sister to the current Satan, she had every reason to be confident.
Stepping over the debris, Badr and the group entered the lab's depths.
Soon, they encountered a new enemy.
A middle-aged man in a lab coat, with thick glasses and bloodshot eyes from lack of sleep, turned to face them.
He had the air of a mad scientist.
"Welcome. My name is Ituso Griffon, a mad scientist!"
Seeing Rias and the others, the man introduced himself with a maniacal expression, placing his right hand on his chest and giving a slow, gentlemanly bow.
"I've been waiting for you."
"Oh? The fallen angels left you to cover their retreat?" Rias stepped forward, her right hand on her hip, her red hair flowing with
