How To Survive In The World DxD With Fragment Memories - Chapter 112

“NYA!”

“Run! This white demon will burn us all to death!” One of the teams of ten leaders shouted to the remaining three members of his team running away from a white demon cloaked in white flames that burnt anything that touched her.

“You will not get away from here! I want my big brother to praise me some more” The girl said as she stomps on the ground heavily, using the force of the stomp she hurled herself towards them in quick steps before she appeared before the next Devil.

“HIIIII!!!” The devil screamed shamefully when he saw the girl caught up almost instantly with his speed, ‘I just want to go home, little sister! I swear I will not cheat, lie or screw over prȯstɨtutės!’

“White Neko – Pervert destroying fist!” Shirone slammed her purifying flame cloaked fist into the face of the devil before blasting him off, along the way, the devil burnt till nothing was left behind that could prove his existence.

“Damn! We can’t get away from her” The nearby devil span the spear in his hands before thrusting it forward with the force he generated when he span it along with his own body strength,

Swoosh!

Shirone dodges the attack effortlessly, her eyes were sparkling ever since Masaru allowed her to move alone during this skirmish. She had been facing off against small groups that were distance away from the main army, toying with them as a form of her training before killing them with her purifying flames.

Swoosh – Swoosh!

Dodging the double thrust, Shirone came close enough to the devil. Lowering her hɨps she pulled back her left hand, along with her body twist she thrust her left fist forward in a swift motion slamming it against the shaft of the spear the devil used to protect himself.

Crack!

“What!?” The Devil’s eyes widen when he heard crackling sounds, when he glanced at his spear his face became unusually pale as sweat trickled down his spine.

BOOM!

“Guah!” Shirone heard the devil cough out his last breath before he too was sent flying by her punch, burnt away in her own flames.

“You— You monster!” The leader stuttered as he stepped back, ever since Shirone killed another one of his subordinates he already forgot how to run away from this demon or more like he knew he could not get away even if he wanted to.

“Hmph! You perverted uncle, didn’t you try to bribe me using sweets?” Shirone asked despite feeling incredibly embarrassed that she even hesitated for a moment there since she was used to taking sweets from Masaru, she did not expect to find herself almost wanting to take it unconsciously.

‘I can’t let anyone knows of this, Big brother would too worried of me if he knows’ Shirone thought as she clenched her fist tightly, a peculiar light flashed on the surface of her eyes. Controlling her breath to the point that there was almost no sound of breathing, slowly her existence began to fade from the man’s perception

‘Traceless steps’ Shirone moved radically forward towards the man, she could not help but smile at the man’s fearful face when he could no longer “see” her despite the fact she never left his line of sight. ‘Big brother’s skills are the best’ She thought for a moment

BOOM!

BBOOOMM!

Shirone slammed her fist in the last devil before using the devil as a springboard to attack the Leader, the leader did not have time to react when he suddenly could “see” Shirone once again. The last thing he saw before his life came to an abrupt end, was her little fist slamming in his face followed by an intense white flame engulfing him.

“Nya?” Shirone’s ears twitched as she started to sense the next group to pick off, however, there was none left. With a single step, she disappeared in the distance to continue the hunt.

“Lady Everest, there is no need to dirty your hands,” Ichika said as she glanced at the hordes of devils approaching the two of them, like the other girls of Masaru’s team. With exception to Akeno and Ingvild, the rest of them were responsible for surrounding and preventing the old satan faction from escaping.

“No! I only feel like I’m in a fight when I am surrounded by enemies” Everest said before charging ahead straight into the group of devils.

“What!?”

“The hell is this girl looking down on us!?”

“Just because she is Masaru’s peerage member! Kill her!”

“Hold up! That is Everest Tannin! The Barbarian Dragoness!”

“Who is the one to call me a Barbarian!” Everest roared as she manipulates her dragon aura to cover her body, her once fiery red hair began to float covered in crimson coloured dragon aura. Her eyes became fierce as well as her combat skills became cruel and deadly.

With a backswing of her fist, she slams it against the head of a devil behind her.

Splat!

The surrounding devils flinched for an instant moment at the sight of their comrade whose head exploded upon the impact of Everest’s attack, but they did not let up as they charged towards Everest in order to surround her.

“Tire her out! Once she is tired we can subdue her!” The devil who was in charge of this battalion yelled out loud to improve his men’s morale,

“And you can do whatever you want with her!” He added with a lecherous smile, however, soon his body shivered when his instincts sensed a dreadful threat. Looking to the left of Everest he noticed a maid with a peculiar aura, ‘I- I’m afraid of a MAID!?’

Boom!

“Ah!” Everest continued to face off against the devils without caring of their blood splattering all over her body, her eyes were gleaming with excitement and her smile made her look like a flame demon that came from the depth of Cocytus ready to reap the lives of the devils.

“You dare have such intentions towards the women of my master?” Ichika said with her voice so cold that it made the heat gave off from the battle and blood that spread out in the surrounding instantly disperse and was replaced by coldness, utter dreadful coldness.

“Allow me to show you the true dreadfulness of space magic,” Ichika said with a warm smile, however, the devils who heard her froze up as they felt that smile was darker than the pits of Hades beckoning their approaching demise.

Glasping her hands, Ichika felt her connection with Masaru. Her smile became natural, unlike her stoic or cold smile, manipulating the spatial energy within her blood she spread it out towards the devils. Although she could not cover many of them in her domain, it was enough to break their morale.

“Fusion” Ichika muttered as several devils began to submerge into the ground as if it was quicksand.

“W-What is this!?”

“HIIII!!!! I can’t feel my legs!!!!”

“Help me! I don’t want to die!!!!”

Ichika watches how the devils were fused together with the earth, there was no way to separate their body from the earth unless another powerful space mage separates their body from the earth once more. Meaning should they break the ground…

BOOM!

“HIII!!!! Why did he die!?” One of the devils who struck the ground to loosen it so his friend could come out, was scared out of his mind when blood suddenly emerged from the ground. He was certain he did not attack the ground where the body should have been, however, with the head of his friend that was above the ground, he knew his friend was dead.

“J-Just what is going on!?” One of the devils glanced at the remaining devils who also submerged into the ground with only their heads above the ground,

“I- I can feel my body, however, it does not feel like same anymore” The devil submerged in the ground responded, he was crying out of fear.

“T-This!?” The leader was taken aback before glancing at the maid whom he underestimated, he felt this woman was the most dangerous woman he ever came across.

“Hmph! Ichika, why did you do that? Now they became wimps!” Everest complained when she noticed that no one was daring to approach her for a fight, she noticed their will were broken and their will to live was hanging on a thread.

“That’s right, I ‘fused’ them with the ground. Breaking the ground is no different from breaking their bodies” Ichika said with a smile,

“Impossible, their bodies is stronger than the ground so how can they die so easily!?” The leader yelled as he could not understand just how the fusion caused their strong bodies to become as weak as paper!

“It’s because the ground fused with their body, It’s like two parts that made a single cell strong was divided and a piece of earth was inserted. Now imagine that throughout his entire body, except for the head naturally” Ichika explained simply,

Hearing this explanation, the devils shivered before dropping their weapons on the ground. Seeing that his men gave up their will to fight, the leader snorted before turning around to leave.

“Ah no, you won’t!” Everest said as she materialized her dragon wings, with a single flash a fierce gale blew from behind her before she was launched in the direction of the fleeing leader.

“Ulrika? Can you send the Assassin over for the Seal?” Ichika called Ulrika after she secured the thousands of devils who surrendered, she was quite surprised at how fast they gave up considering they were many more. However, it appears once their arrogance and pride for their power is broken thoroughly they all drop like dominos.

“Ho? So we finally got more manpower? It honestly came just in time” Ulrika’s voice came out through the magic circle near Ichika’s voice. Ichika was one of the few girls who was the fastest to adapt to the cruelty of Masaru’s plans, hench she could turn all these devils into loyal servants without batting her eyes.

It did not take long for Hiei’s Assassin leaders to appear around the devils surrounding them, only one of the top leaders approached Ichika before bowing to her.

“Madam, we came upon the order of Madam Ulrika to commence the sealing,” The Assassin said,

“Very well, you may start,” Ichika said as she watched how the Assassin’s efficiently apply the command seal on each of the devils, even those who decided to resist was easily subdued as an example making everything smoothly.

BOOM!

“*Cough cough* You— Bitch” The leader cough blood while glaring at Everest who threw him nonchalantly,

“This one too,” Everest said to the nearby ȧssassin who nodded at her order and went to apply the command seal on the ȧssassin.

“Everest… You–_” Ichika glanced at her sister in surprise, she knew Everest with her pure and honest personality would not be able to adapt this quickly. However, it appears she honestly had underestimated this dragoness’s mentality from the beginning.

Swoosh!

Pak!

Swoosh!

Pak!

“Madam Angelica truly is a divine archer!” One of the army soldiers who arrived to reinforce the borders of the Rating Game Dimension was praising Angelica who was shooting down the devils that were trying to escape fȯrċɨbŀƴ by leaving the dimension.

“Keep your guard up!” Angelica roared as she glared at the soldiers, since she had travelled with Diana for a long time she was naturally familiar with the soldiers under her command. “Although we have implemented an anti-Teleportation formation over the entire Dimension, it is still a limited area so we have to make sure they don’t leave it!”

“huh?” Angelica shivered when she felt something disgusting in the direction of the Temple, if she was not mistaken then that was where Asia who was kidnapped by Diodora was being held.

She was not sure why, however, she felt the familiar disgusting aura of Cannibals who once attacked her village in the past. “Hmph!”

Angelica snorted as she pulled out another arrow from her quiver, pulling the string of her bow while aiming the arrow in the direction she sensed the existence. Her eyes squinted as she gathered her shadow magic elements to cloak the arrow to the point it became pitch black, the moment she released it the earth beneath her feet sunk a few centimetres followed by spider web cracks spreading all over the place.

Swoosh!

“Madam Angelica, why have you attacked the Temple!?” One of the soldiers screamed out in surprise,

“I sensed something disgusting” Angelica muttered with a cold voice, it took her a lot of will power to resist the urge to end the creature herself.

She would never know that the arrow she unleashed at the temple penetrated Freed’s ȧss just when he was about to say something disgusting to Rias and her peerage.

“Master, the battlefield is almost settled” Ulrika reported, she was working together with Roygun to monitor the battlefield and keep track of every enemy.

The reason Masaru gave them the task was to keep tabs on the Hero faction as well as Qlippoth, should either of them get involved he might have to adjust his plans accordingly. However, the fate of the Old Satan Faction must end today.

“Madam Ulrika, the request of Madam Ichika to use the command seal has been completed.” one of the Intelligence Agents part of the secret squad within the Hiei, organisation Masaru started. Reported to Ulrika the update.

“Very well, contact the porter team to collect our new batch of subordinates” Ulrika ordered before glancing at the reports of Hiei.

It has been a while since She and Masaru initiated the plans to establish the organisation, so far she managed to spread out their spy network in various Devil Noble Families including Gremory, Sitri and the rest that were allies.

“It’s a good thing we managed to secure more subordinates,” Ulrika said, ever since they started to capture members of other factions to secure the information from their stronghold. The number they sacrificed was not few, so she could not initiate the plans to create a Mercenary squad like Masaru once asked her for.

“With these, we can recall our elites and start the Hiei Mercenary.” Roygun continued after Ulrika, she was told of this plan and approved of it. This way they could generate income to keep the company afloat, while they will slowly spread their subordinates even further since everything requires, MONEY!

“That too, however, now I can allocate more people around the globe to investigate Qlippoth. It feels strange we still did not manage to find them, yet they appeared in the Vampire Territory” Ulrika said with a sigh before returning her sight to the battlefield.

Suddenly a magic circle appeared near Ulrika’s ear, “Eya Ul-chan! It’s Jeanne!”

>/<

“Eya Ul-chan! It’s Jeanne” Said cheerfully, her blonde hair soaked in the blood of her enemies, her blood-stained armour made her appear like a Goddess of War surrounding by hundreds of floating holy swords.

“Yes?”

“Well I have discovered something,” Jeanne said as she glanced at a peculiar devil, despite her cheerful attitude her eyes were incredibly cold when glancing at this corpse.

“I found several Cannibals within the ranks of the Devils” Jeanne said, this caused Ulrika and Roygun to flinch and both of them stopped working at the same time.

“You serious?”

Jeanne squatted down next to the corpse using her holy sword to move it’s arm away revealing strange inscription carved into the body of the devil, “Yes, there are also some inscriptions written on them. Although I don’t want to accuse anyone, however, these inscriptions are written in Elvish language”

“I will send some men to pick up the corpses, and I will contact Angelica to hear if she knows anything about this”

“Thanks, I was honestly bummed about this” Jeanne said with a giggle before closing the call after finalizing a few things with Ulrika.

“You reported to Ulrika?” Sakura arrived after she cleaned her katana, both she and Jeanne were responsible for defending this side of the field since it was in the direction of the Belial Territory.

Unlike Ichika, the two of them did not have the leisure to capture their enemies since their main priority was to kill anyone who arrives here otherwise it might bring forth trouble to the Belial Territory that was prospering now.

“Yes Saki-chan” Jeanne said with a broad smile,

“Sakura! Don’t call me Saki-chan since it sounds like you are calling me Jackie Chan” Sakura mumbled, she had been in contact with many people after becoming Masaru’s pawn and naturally she became aware of many movies the villages liked to watch, especially movies made by this specific actor.

“hehehe” Jeanne giggled,

Suddenly magic circle appeared on each and every girl’s ear, reporting a single thing. “Mission Complete, the skirmish is over”

“Aiya! And I have only started to enjoy this battle” Jeanne said as she mumbled, her eyes squinted when she glanced in the direction of the Temple when a baleful aura erupted in the far distance, she was not certain what was going on but all she felt was that whatever was there simply wanted to destroy.

>/<

“Ulrika, I’m teleporting Yui to you,” Masaru said without waiting for both Azazel at his side, or Ulrika on the magic communication to respond as he teleports Yui to Hiei’s headquarters.

“Something went wrong at the temple, I am going to check it out. We can’t fail to terminate the old satan faction” Masaru said as he glanced at Azazel before he teleported away in the direction of the Temple.

“Sheesh! He could just have said he was worried about that idiot disciple” Azazel said as he shook his head with a smile,

>/<

“ROAR!!!!!”

Masaru who appeared nearby noticed Issei who activated his Juggernaut drive in an incomplete state had lost his mind, yet as a fellow dragon, he could feel the heart-wrenching scream contained within the roars of Issei.

“Masaru!” Rias called out in surprise,

“Senpai!” Yuuto followed after,

“Masaru Senpai!” Gasper cried as he appeared clinging on Masaru in a flash,

“Masaru,” Barold said with an anxious voice, his eyes never left Issei for a moment, Xenovia was listless ever since she lost her dearest friend and now another one she cared for turned out like this.

“What happened?” Masaru asked Rias who started to explain the situation, it appears right when Shalba killed Asia, Issei lost himself in his rage and ended up like this.

“Geez, to think my rival would lose himself like this. And I thought he made some progress after activating his Juggernaut drive” Vali who appeared together with Bikou and Arthur approached Rias’s team.

“Asia!” Rias called out in surprise, yet before anyone could reach her. Xenovia already appeared before Asia in Arthur’s hands and took her from him in a tight embrace.

“Oh, we found this girl in the Dimensional gap while we were moving around” Vali said nonchalantly while gazing at Issei who was destroying his surroundings, “But you all sure are lucky he end up in this state here, if it was on earth then he would have decimated an entire country”

“Masaru, can we save him?” Barold asked,

“First we have to calm his mind. There is nothing we can do if he rampage like that, according to legends it was always a song that calmed dragons” Masaru said,

“That’s correct, however, neither of the Heavenly dragons has a song dedicated to them” Vali added,

“But Ma-kun has a song dedicated to him by me-nyan!” Kuroka who was hiding appeared behind Masaru and hugged him while squeezing the back of his head in her brėȧst.

Masaru smiled wryly at this carefree girl who does whatever she liked and act however she wanted.

“We have a song!” Irina who was sent by Azazel who managed to arrive at the location where Sirzech was, sent Irina along with a mobile hi-fi.

“heh,” Masaru smirked when he saw that Hi-Fi, if he was not mistaken then it would be “That”. Something created by Sirzech, Serafall and Azazel.

“What is that?” Rias asked since she caught the sinister smile on Masaru’s face, she would never expect that this song would cause another heap of trouble for both her and Issei.
