How To Survive In The World DxD With Fragment Memories - Chapter 111

[Good Afternoon my fellow Devilish People! Today first round, the second match between the Younger Generation Devils is about to begin!! And let me tell you all that this game was chosen not to display their powers but instead their intelligence! Yes! Each of them will be restricted and the game for today’s Rating Game will be called: Capture the Flag!] The people were all cheering when they heard the newest game released for the Rating Game, [The flag will respawn at random areas in random intervals where the teams need to capture it before it runs away! Naturally each time the flag is brought back to the base the enemies can steal it as well!]

The announcer began to explain the principles behind the capture the flag game while Masaru and his girls were all getting dressed in black/white tight fitted attires for today’s match “What restriction did they place on us?” Akeno asked Masaru who was the one to get the rules. “Not much, each of us will have a gravity seal. No destruction of buildings.” Masaru smirked, “Besides it is not like the restrictions is that difficult to deal with, honestly I am feeling a bit excited to try out this kind of match that requires speed and stamina the most”

After everyone checked their equipment, Ulrika came towards Masaru with a sword wrapped in a white cloth. Looking at the cloth Masaru was quite surprised to think they would complete the sword so soon, “This is not a complete sword, it’s still incomplete but since the researchers require data from you this will be the best opportunity to try it” The sword was 1.7+ meters in length, quite broad flat blade made out of special adamantine alloy, it was quite heavy however thanks to Masaru’s training this kind of sword was not that difficult to handle for him or the girls. When he gripped the hilt he could feel a trace of Holy Demonic energy pulsating from the blade, when he took off the cloth was entered his sight was a black broad sword blade with a golden edge.

[Now then the scores will be given according to their respective pieces! 1x Pawn = 1 Point, Bishop = 3 Points, Knight = 3 Points, Rook = 5 Points, Queen = 8 Points and the King Piece is 10 points!!! The game will be set for 8 hours, but the first team to reach 100 points will win the game automatically! There is also water dispenser stations around the field for each team to hydrate during the game]

The entire field was decorated with abandoned buildings having a similar scene old battlefields during wars, half demolished buildings with rubbles scattered all over the place with very few solid complete buildings but everything was showing signs of decay and dust collected everywhere. Over everything, there were grains of sands with no signs of life or artificial lives at all. On the east side and Westside has both large buildings taller than the rest of the buildings which is the bases of Masaru’s team and Seekvaira’s team. Masaru entered the eastern building together with his team, he immediately used magic to scan the entire surroundings to create a map, when the scan was complete he pulled out a roll of clean white paper placing it on the table before he printed the map onto it.

“Is this allowed?” Akeno asked Roygun nodded “It is, there are no rules against scanning the area as long as you don’t scan the enemy building, this map could be considered perfect” Masaru looked at the map, from the looks of it flying will make it easy for them to reach the roof of the bases but that would leave them wide open as targets so the easiest way to enter the base undetected will definitely have to be done on foot. “From the looks of it, we will have to divide into three teams. One team will be the Defenders of the base, two teams will be the ȧssault team. The ȧssault teams will…” Masaru began to explain the responsibilities of each team for everyone to know, that way it will make it easier for them to cover one another if something happens.

Masaru saw how the girls were getting quite a bit excited to play this kind of game, “Ingvild, Akeno, Everest and Ichika will be the defence team. Shirone, Sakura, Ulrika and Stephani will be First Assault team while Jeanne, Angelica, Yui and Roygun will be ȧssault team two” Masaru broke up the girls into teams. Ingvild & Akeno can use the combination of water and lightning to cover both the air with a raining thunderstorm or cover the building with water and paralyze the enemies while Everest can take them down. Ichika will be the last layer defence as breaking through space barriers is more difficult. There were other tips Masaru provided for them to use for their defence since he will be around to cover the weak points.

The First ȧssault team was a combination of mostly Speed and a bit firepower, while Team two was speed and long-range firepower. “What about you?” Roygun asked feeling intrigued at Masaru’s plan, “I will be the field player, I will keep my eyes on all three teams while moving freely to support you all” Ulrika who heard this looked at her master with a trace of worry, “Will you be okay?” Masaru smiled warmly. “It will be fine, remember. Keep your senses sharp, stay vigilant and treat this game like a real battle to gain experience.” After the meeting was over the girls and Matteo relaxed since they still have 30 minutes to go before the game start, in the meantime, things at Seekvaira was a bit tenser.

“Their team is really unreasonable to go up against for a younger generation match, they’re even further above Sairaorg and his team” The queen of Seekvaira’s peerage began to speak about Masaru and his team, “The method he trains them is completely different from the traditional way” Seekvaira did not say much as they all knew the current opponent was someone simply too overpowered but they did not feel threatened nor demotivated, instead they felt excited. When the clock countdown was starting they started to move onto the roof of their base where they could see the other base opposite of them, Masaru could swear he was currently staring into the eyes of Seekvaira.

Seekvaira was currently giving commands to her team and soon [Agares knight has captured a flag!] But this time there was a small skirmish when Roygun and Jeanne intercepted their route back to the base, the fierce battle caused Seekvaira to order her team to retreat. But at the same time, her queen managed to capture a flag secretly, by the time the queen and Jeanne delivered their respective flags the score was [8:8], ‘What is Masaru thinking?’ Seekvaira did not see Masaru so she thought he was in the defence team but suddenly [Belial Team King has captured a flag] suddenly the score refreshed [18:8]

Seekvaira who saw this sudden turn of the event called her two knights and sent them to attack the base, Masaru, however, was already waiting for them as he knew she would test the defence once she begins to think he was not with the defence team. Masaru called out his sacred gear to increase his speed without the need to use his demonic energy and appeared before the two knights who slashed at him, he could sense the movements they were about to make before they even made them allowing him to dodge the strikes without much effort. BOOM! Masaru smacked the first knight with the back of his left hand with enough force to knock him out in the instead followed by a kick in the abdomen against the other knight. [Agares Team: Two Knights retired!]

Ulrika was currently fighting against a fellow pawn who enjoyed fighting with their fists however Ulrika was keeping them at bay with her dual customized Glocks, “You cheating witch! Why are you using such disgraceful weapons!” One of the pawns screamed out but Ulrika was only chuckling her time away thinking how her master once told her, if there are no rules against it then it’s not cheating. Just as Shirone was about to attack from the back she was instead ambushed by two rooks, causing her to be delayed in her own ambush.

The rest of the first ȧssault team was completely occupied in keeping their enemies at bay, while Seekvaira called her queen back so she could start moving. [Belial Team: Knight has captured the flag!] Shortly afterwards the score updated [21:8], the people were cheering more for the current combat between the two teams that blew away several buildings from their aftermath shocks. Masaru even used magic to repair the buildings instantly causing the people to wonder what this odd king was currently doing, he was like a ghost appearing and disappearing all the time but not making major movements.

7 hours have passed and the current score was [81:42], if it was not for the fact that Masaru trained his girls in both Magic and physical aspects they would have had a harder time dealing with a tactical team, however, Masaru still did not make many movements other than keeping the score high while supporting his girls. It was only when there were only 30 minutes left when he pulled Ingvild with him into the skies, the rules stated that buildings should not be destroyed however bases were a different story since their defence would naturally include keeping the building intact.

“Seekvaira” Masaru spoke clearly enough for everyone to stop their actions wondering what Masaru was up to, “You wanted to see my real power I will not able to grant it but I will show it to you… The Belial Team’s true power” Masaru flew in circled while holding Ingvild at her waist and her arms were around his neck like they were dancing while Masaru was casting a Raindance spell, soon clouds began to gather, Masaru gently ċȧrėsses Ingvild’s cheek before he gave her a deep kiss, the ties that bound him and her as one began to pulsate strong energy force within her body while generating a chant for her.

“This water represents my pledge. Purify the evil surrounding my beloved! Tsunami no hebi!” Suddenly the water that was pouring from the clouds began to gather before transforming into massive snakes that slithered pass each building like a tidal wave all heading towards the defence building, Seekvaira who saw this sudden massive attack was shocked beyond belief, she wanted to tell her peerage to retreat but the snakes were simply too fast! [Agares Team: Knight, Rook, two pawns retired!] This was just the beginning as Seekvaira created a time barrier to hold back the attack, however, the power of this attack was not something she could contend against as she was blown away losing her consciousness. [Agares Team: King Retired! Team Belial won the game!]

“So this is the Kissing Prayer” Ingvild spoke with a happy smile, this move was close to really cheating as she could not imagine herself being able to perform such a massive scale attack so fast. And she was still holding back! Masaru chuckled while he lands on the roof below them where the rest of the team were waiting for them, from the looks of it he will have to spoil each of them to calm their jealousy but looking at their angry faces was simply too cute. “So this is the benefits of Kissing prayer?” Roygun spoke while unconsciously ċȧrėssing her lips, a faint blush appears on her face as she knew she too kissed Masaru quite deeply back then.

Afterwards, Masaru and his team had a signature event for the fans who came to watch their games and only when they were done did Masaru went to the hospital where Seekvaira was currently resting. “Here to visit Agares Heiress sir?” One of the nurses asked Masaru who nodded so she led him to the room Seekvaira was currently resting, from the looks of it Sona was there as well. “I knew you would come here” Sona spoke with a rare smile on her face, she would have loved to give him a hug and kiss to congratulate him but since they were in public and in front of her friend she could not do so.

“I feel stupid for challenging your so brazenly” Masaru gave Seekvaira a light chop on her head causing the latter to hold her head glaring at him, “I already said it, that I rarely admire people and your one of them. Despite knowing it will be hard you still challenged me. You should not wallow in your sadness and instead get stronger” Seekvaira widen her eyes in surprise as she never expected that he would not be here to pity her but instead to encourage her, Masaru yawned a bit light feeling slightly tired. “You— You played the game while feeling tired?” Masaru chuckled shaking his head, “Just mentally tired”

“Grrr…” Seekvaira was about to challenge Masaru but Sona intercepted by offering Seekvaira a glass of water, “You are lucky today, I will have my revenge tomorrow” Masaru smirked at this girl while resting his head on Sona’s shoulders, “I look forward to it, but next time we can bet your hand in marriage to make it more meaningful” Seekvaira blushed beet red at Masaru’s teasing even Sona was looking at Masaru with a stern gaze while Masaru was only smiling, “Hmph!” It was rare for this girl who is more noble and caring than others to display such a sight, “Well since your fine, I will have to go soon. That old man is waiting for me” Masaru stood up, “You leaving for Odin?” Masaru nodded, “I might have to ask for some days off from the school can you help me with that?” Sona smiled warmly while nodding, Masaru turned and left.

“You did not get angry at him for trying to flirt with me?” Seekvaira looked at Sona who was currently peeling an apple, “Why should I? You know him just as long as I do, so you know how he treats you. Besides, he already engaged with many girls but all of them loves him dearly and he loves them equally dearly.” Seekvaira felt her friend had changed ever since she has gotten engaged with Masaru, Sona herself knew this as well but she felt like this current lifestyle was more to her liking. Masaru allowed them to pursue their dreams without restrictions and even supporting them. “Should I accept his proposal then?” Sona looked at Seekvaira with a smile that was not a smile, “That depends on how sincere you really are with it”

“You finally arrived boy” Odin spoke while sitting on a chair, loud music were playing with waitresses wearing little to almost no clothes were serving the customers, Masaru had to alter his appearance to look like a 21-year-old male. Azazel was sitting next to Odin and from the looks of it, Barakiel was nowhere to be found but naturally, he will not come close to another woman unless he wants to anger Shuri. “You really have to visit the Titty Bars huh? You two old men” Masaru spoke causing Azazel to only laugh at him, Masaru took his seat and ordered a closed can of cola.

“Are the girls not going to be angry if they know you are in this place?” Azazel asked, Masaru only smirked “I already told them, including that it was your order so I had no choice” Azazel who heard this felt a cold sweat running down his spine thinking this boy set him up in a trap, Odin burst out laughing when he heard this, “You really know how to set up traps boy” Masaru only smiled when his drink arrived he opened the can before taking a sip, “So what is up with China, remember you told me to investigate them once we dealt with Loki” Masaru spoke while looking at Azazel.

“Yes, from the looks of it there is a potential internal war there. If possible I hope you can find a way to stop it or at least pull the group that advocates peace into our alliance” Azazel gave a general idea of the situation, Masaru nodded while Odin thought for a moment. “There are reports from my secretary that there have been Valkyries going missing there too” Azazel nodded, “Currently, the gods of China has not been in much contact with us nor any other mythology so it is hard to know what is going on there which is why we are sending you. If any of us top brass were to go, we will end up causing more problems than solutions.” Odin nodded at Azazel’s point, Masaru thought for a moment “Very well, I will ȧssist in fending off Loki. Once that is complete I will take two members of my peerage for a trip to China then”
