How To Survive In The World DxD With Fragment Memories - Chapter 122

Shortly Masaru along with the girls and Zhou Hai arrived at the station of Shanghai nearest to the harbour, the sun was out and winds blowing making it a mild temperature for the day. The streets were busy with only the jobless or those having a day off is currently shopping and the children were at school so it could be said to be a peaceful time to leisurely walk around, Masaru took the girls to try out a few snacks he purchased for them from the food stalls while they were being led around the area by Zhou Hai who knew the area.

“Boss, there is still an hour left before our appointment time. Should we get going?” Hearing Zhou Hai’s question, Masaru nodded while he followed the fatty who led them towards the harbour. Perhaps it was because the gods did not trust that Masaru would come that XuanLong appeared the moment they turned to walk down the street which led to the nearest harbour. “It’s been a while Masaru” Xuanlong muttered while looking at Masaru who was being held firmly by two beautiful women, even Xuanlong had to admit that they were beautiful although he prefers long legs.

“So I take it Dragon Chief God Wang Long is waiting for me?” Hearing Masaru’s question, XuanLong nodded while leading them along the street that took them towards the harbour, “It is also because we have been attacked by Bala the Insect God that did quite a large scale damage on our businesses, right now we have to guard against his shameless attacks. The worst part is the fact we are not certain if he would attack you as well” Masaru nodded while followed XuanLong.

Meanwhile, Akeno and the girls were surrounded by Heroes equipped with different sacred gears in Kobe Town’s abandoned Factory, “To think they would choose to attack us on the same time they are attacking the Gremory team” Ulrika informed Akeno while she was keeping the spiritual link she held with the subordinates under the Command seal who was keeping eyes all over Japan, Akeno scowled at the heroes that surrounded them.

She activates her Fallen Angel Mode she trained for a while now thanks to her Father and Azazel who ȧssisted her allowing her to materialize 4 pairs of angel wings while electric sparks were flickering around her body while her hair was floating in the air, her eyes were giving off a dangerous glint as the heroes took a step back unconsciously. “Lightning Empress” Akeno muttered softly as her skin began to generate lightning sparks as she sprinted towards the first hero with her fist clad in lightning.

Ingvild gathered the water vapour in the surroundings while she used her mana to ȧssist in generating more waters around her till several floating balls swirled around her body, she points her palm towards the heroes as several water spheres flew off to meet them. Everest covered her body with dragon aura since she did not want to get blood on herself she opted to kill efficiently instead of gruesome, she went together with Shirone who entered her twin tail Neko-mode covering her body with a large amount of touki giving off a feeling like a body was covered by a thick white barrier.

The heroes were told about the fact that Masaru’s peerage was strong but this was simply abnormal, the hero who faced Akeno’s punch smirked as he knew she was a bishop so her physical strength should be weaker than others but he never counted the fact Masaru trained his girls in physical bodies the most, the most he tried to grip Akeno’s wrist he felt his arm going numb at a fast rate while the fist still slammed into his ċhėst, unlike Cao Cao and the upper echelons of the Hero faction who trained like madmen these heroes were much weaker as this hero died the moment his heart was fȯrċɨbŀƴ stopped by the shocking punch of Akeno.

The other heroes wanted to join in but the water spheres exploded causing them and their surroundings to become wet before they could react they all felt a numbing feeling before they were all roasted alive by Akeno who used the conductivity of the water to instantly kill several heroes with her Lightning Empress Mode, coincidentally Akeno also have her Holy lightning Empress Mode, however, that requires her to kiss Masaru as the amount of Mana required for that mode was by no means a small amount. The heroes who managed to escape the initial strike were killed by Everest and Shirone who flanked them from both sides, by the time they were done there was no living hero for Georg to pick up.

“To think the women of Masaru is this dangerous” Cao Cao Spoke as he appeared on the room looking down the hole into the abandoned Factory where Akeno, Ingvild, Everest and Shirone was at. “You severely underestimated us I ȧssume?” Akeno spoke confidently while locking gaze with Cao Cao who began to laugh heartily while examining the dead hero bodies while nodding, “I see, your tactics are quite well-coordinated, no wonder Masaru keeps you two together” Cao Cao muttered and the two he mentioned was Akeno and Ingvild.

“Well, we got at least some good data from you girls— whoops!” Cao Cao leapt backwards as several destruction bullets were sent flying towards him, Yui stood silently on the roof facing Cao Cao while the four girls flew up through the hole landing beside her. “Destruction… I see” Cao Cao was not a bit fazed at the pressure the girls were unleashing but Georg who was next to him felt it, “Well since our experiment failed here there is no need to stay any longer, Hope we meet again girls… Also, send my regards to Masaru” Georg covered Cao Cao with the mist produced by his sacred gear before teleporting them away.

When Cao Cao and Georg left, the girls did not stick around either and teleported back to the Disciplinary Committee where Sona was waiting for them, “Afternoon Kaichou, did something happen?” Akeno asked, Sona nodded but before she could start Ichika came to give everyone a bottle of cold water to rehydrate after a battle. “I take it, you have been attacked by the Hero Faction as well?” Ingvild was the one to answer with a nod, “We just managed to handle except for Cao Cao and Georg who left” Sona sighed with a wry smile, “They have attacked Rias and her peerage as well today, luckily there was no casualties but from the looks of it one hero managed to escape by being teleported by the Dimension Lost Longinus holder”

Akeno wanted to contact Masaru to ask him for direction but instead, a projection of Ulrika appeared, “Sorry for interrupting but I just came across disturbing news” Hearing this everyone was quiet looking towards Ulrika, “Although I can’t confirm where or when, but there is a large scale rebellion planned in the devil countries, it appears that many brainwashed devils were released all over the country and from the looks of it the ones who do the brainwashing in the hero factions. The method they used to brainwash the devils were similar to how they did with their low ranked soldiers” Sona had a serious expression, “Do you have any other information?”

Ulrika shook her head, “I’m afraid none, right now Sirzech and the rest are off to have some Alliance Talk with the Pendragon Family and the Greece Mythology. Meaning we will have to handle the situation without their presence, although Masaru’s teacher is still around to keep eye so that things will not get out of hand” Sona sighed as she knew the work her older sister does is extremely important, “I will gather my peerage, we will work together as one unit to curb the Rebellion earlier. Can you perhaps mark the location of all the brainwashed Devils?”

“I’m afraid it will take a long time as there are many not accounted for” Ulrika answered, Sona nodded saying her goodbyes to head off to the Student Council office to get her own peerage ready. “How is Master?” Ichika asked Ulrika who was the one keeping active contact with Masaru, “He is doing great, right now he is heading to Shanghai to meet the Dragon Chief God Wang Long. However, Shanghai is under the siege of the Insect God so we might not hear from him in a day or two” Ichika nodded as she heads off to wash the dishes, “What about Kobe Town?” Akeno asks Ulrika.

“No need to worry, I have sent several devil ȧssassins to guard the town in our absence since Masaru would prefer we protect our home with first priority” Ulrika answered Akeno’s question, Akeno nodded. Ulrika cuts off the projection and the rest of the girls who were just arrived went to their respective tables to write their individual reports of today’s events, shortly Rias came in but when she see all the girls of Masaru’s peerage was fine did she finally relax, “What’s the matter Miss Gremory?” Sakura asks as she enters the Disciplinary Committee after her patrol activity.

“Nothing, just feeling relief you all are fine. Were you also attacked by the Hero Faction?” Akeno nodded when she finished writing her report, “We were under attack but all of them were killed and only Cao Cao along with Georg the Dimension Lost Longinus wielder managed to escape” Rias sighed as she was once again reminded that Masaru’s peerage was another level different from hers so she had to increase the intensity of her peerage’s training to keep up with them.

“What do you make of it?” Akeno shook her head, “Shame as the time they attacked multiple factions, they are trying to mass-produce Sacred Gear holders to achieve Balance Breaker” Hearing this Rias was reminded that Azazel did indeed say this as well, “Do you think they will strike in Kyoto?” Akeno could only shrug, “We only know that a problem is about to occur in the Devil World so we will not be able to think about Kyoto as well, not to mention Masaru is currently in China”

Rias sighed as she took her seat opposite of Akeno, “How is the relationship with Issei going?” Akeno asked with a teasing smile, Rias blushed “H-He…” But she could only look down with a complicated face, “He still calls you Buchou?” Rias nodded, Akeno could only sigh while tapping her chin with her index finger, “You should come straight with him Rias, or did Issei perhaps experienced something that could traumatize him to fear girls?” When Rias heard this her heart shook as she did not realize this point, Raynare… The one who left the deepest impression in Issei’s heart.

“Thank you for your advice” Rias thank Akeno before leaving the office in a hurry, tomorrow was the trip to Kyoto so Rias was probably in a hurry to do something. Ingvild came to take the seat where Rias was before “What was that about?” Akeno lips formed a profound smile, “Youth, she needed a push to realize her love life” Ingvild could only sigh thinking this girl is acting like a housewife after she got eaten by Masaru, although Ingvild herself could not blame her as she too felt more mȧturė ever since their relationship broke through a barrier.

Azazel was currently sitting in the office facing Barakiel who was packed, “I heard Akeno and the girls were attacked?” Azazel looked at the worried face of his best friend wondering why he was so overreacting when it came to his wife and daughter, “They’re fine, in fact I feel sorrier for the heroes that got roasted alive by your daughter instead” When Barakiel heard this he felt a bit more relaxed, “That’s good, but do you know the reason the heroes are using these harassment tactics again?” Azazel could only sigh, “It appears they are trying to finish up their batches of Balance Breaker soon”

Azazel took out a piece of paper and handed it over to Barakiel, “These are the list of locations Loki was spotted at before he came to Japan, we might get some clues behind who is working in China” Barakiel nodded as he took the paper and placed it in his pocket, “Also be sure to send my regards to your son-in-law” Barakiel wanted to snort but when he saw the lecherous smile his friend had on his face, it felt like his blood ran cold, there was no need to ask a question as Azazel knew what he wanted to ask so he immediately nodded. This caused Barakiel to explode with Rage as he stomps out of the office rearing to go to China and beat up the bastard that ate his daughter.

“We are here” Xuanlong took Masaru and the rest along a secret route that took them to a hidden harbour that was built in an alternate space that was like a mirror facing Shanghai Harbour, here the buildings were more leaning towards the ancient era with massive boats that relies of wind to move instead of mechanical propellers. Xuanlong led them to the largest Ship which is under the command of Wang Long himself. The ship was built out of special Nanmu wood out found in China and dragon scales that fell off after every shedding season, there was several borders around the boat of pure gold.

At both sides were several opening compartments at the side of the boat where several canons were placed for self-defence, “Mind your step” XuanLong warned Masaru and the rest before he took his step onto a boarding plank that gave them entry onto the ship, Masaru was surprised that the number of people that were manning the ship was lesser than he expected, at the back of the ship going upstairs standing behind the ship steering wheel was a middle-age bulky man wearing a pirate articles of clothing which consists of a white shirt, white pants, black leather boots and a blue colour decorate jacket with a black pirate hate ontop of his head, strange thing was the fact he did not have a beard but his black hair was long hanging loosely behind his hack.

Masaru could feel the heavy pressure of this man, ‘He should be at the higher level’ Masaru thought as he could tell just from Wang Long’s presence gave him more pressure compared to when he fought against Meng Zhang (QingLong), when Masaru saw that his existence was detected by this Dragon Chief God he followed after XuanLong. “I would have never expected that the boy I heard so many great deals of things about would be a Dragon… And a Devil… Which one is it?” Masaru chuckled as he gripped the hand Wang Long presented, “I’m a Devil Dragon, but I still keep my Devil Characteristics which allows me to remain a King for my peerage”

“I see, well I’m sure you have noticed it by now but I am the Dragon Chief God Wang Long, in charge of the sea tradings. Is what I would like to say but that ċȯċkroach just won’t die” Wang Long spit out in rage when he thinks of Bala who constantly harass them but refused to fight head-on, “Masaru Belial, if you don’t mind I can help you on one condition if you won’t mind” Wang Long had a smile as if he already expected this while he looked towards Masaru who continued, “I want you to accept the peace alliance, we are moving forward where we will soon reach an era where there will be War seekers and Peace Seekers… Those in the middle will be dragged in by the war seekers even if they want to live in peace.”

“What makes you think you can negotiate with me”? Masaru gazes deeply into the eyes of this old man, “Because you don’t have much dėsɨrė for war, you might love to fight which can be found by participating in the Rating Game. As for the other reason is the fact you would like to start trading in earnest by the sea don’t you?” Wang Long smirked before he stuck out his hand, “Get rid of the ċȯċkroach and I will agree to your terms” Masaru nodded as he shook hands with Wang Long, the two of them went down the stairs entering the Captain’s chambers right below where they had a drink together with XuanLong, Kuroka, Roygun and the easily passed out after two drinks Zhou Hai.
