Battler tightened his hold on Amakusa, and he could hear the guy choking to try and breathe. He was stronger than before however Bernkastel hadn't anticipated that Amakusa would attack him like that and kill him previously, so she may have granted him more power this time around, along with a second life.

While he was holding the man, he turned to look at Ange, smirking, "...I told you before, I want to rip your limbs off and hear you scream. But first..."

He turned to Amakusa, delivering a blow to his gut- and the silver-haired man let out a cry when he was hit. Amakusa knew how to handle this guy though, after he was let go and he regained some composure, he suddenly had a pistol in his hand, and he aimed it at the guy- firing...!

...And then nothing. He fired at him, he heard the shot, but the he noticed a rather intimidating looking barrier around him. He was granted more power indeed... Battler chuckled at his attempts, he reached out and grabbed the pistol, crushing it in his hand. He then brought his hand back, slamming it into Amakusa's face, and the man stumbled. He attacked him again and again, punching him, kicking him, using the power of darkness itself to ensnare Amakusa and tear bits off.

The poor bodyguard... was dripping with blood.
