How To Survive In The World DxD With Fragment Memories - Chapter 123

Following after Zhou Hai, Masaru and the two girls arrived near a massive iron door inscribed with the name of the sect. Two guards wearing white robes with a sword attached to their hɨps, stood silently looking forward without movement as if they were statues.

“Eh!? Are those statues!?” Kuroka asked as she appeared next to the guards poking them with a curious gaze, feeling the squishy sensation she appeared shocked, “Their well made, they feel just like a human!”

“Woman, we are humans!” The guard felt irritated at the girl who poked him, if his girlfriend were to see this then she might throw a tantrum and leave him. However, he too could not help but take a glance at this girls brėȧst that was threatening to pop out from her black Yukata.

“EH!?” Kuroka leap backwards nearby Masaru looking at the guard with a shocked expression, shortly a hand chop fell on her head “OUCH!”

“Stop playing around” Masaru said with a wry smile as he knew this girl was toying with the two guards on purpose, he glanced at the two guards sensing that they were both Mid Class in strength based on their aura.

“Please notify your Inner Sect Elder that my Boss, Masaru Belial is here to initiate the Duel against Gusu Lan Sect!” Zhou Hai announced,

“What!?” Both the guards glanced at Masaru in surprise wondering if this boy was still alright in the head, they could not sense any Qi from this boy so they thought he was just simply a mortal that was trying to piss them off.

“Get lost! You think we are fools to believe that you have strength to challenge us?” The guard that felt jealous of his friend being poked by a beauty stepped forward when he saw how lovingly the girl was looking at the boy who wanted to challenge their sect.

“Will you act as my test?” Masaru asked nonchalantly,

“You asked for it!” The guard smiled sinisterly, by manipulating the qi within his dantian to enhance his body’s prowess he dashed towards Masaru leaving a trail of dust behind him.

“Iron Fist!”

The guard cried out his attack as he thrust forward his golden glowing fist, Masaru could not help but raise his eyebrow when he heard the man call out his attack so loudly. From the name he could more or less guess this was a fist as strong as iron at the very least.

“Since it’s only Iron, then there is no need to fear it” Masaru muttered as he gathered his dragon aura around his fist and thrust it to meet with the incoming fist attack head on.

“AAAAAAA!!!” The guard was launched backwards, crashing against the gate.

HONG LONG LONG!

The gate vibrates strongly while shooting the guard that was leaning against it to crash into the ground, the sound of the vibration reverberated throughout the sect alarming everyone. It did not take that long for hundreds of cultivators wearing white robes, red robes and Pale green Robes to appear.

“Who this boy?”

“This brat dare to attack our sect!?”

“That girl’s brėȧst sure is amazing, I can play with them and never get bored!”

“The other girl has a horn on her head, is she an Oni?”

Masaru glanced at the surrounding cultivators that were young in appearance, from what he sensed the highest was false Ultimate Rank just slightly weaker than him.

“B-Boss!” Zhou Hai shivered as he felt fear at the sheer numbers of cultivators that surrounded them, he did not expect his boss to use such a heavy hand to draw the attention of the sect.

“Who dares to cause trouble in the Gusu Lan Sect!?” an loud powerful voice reverberate throughout the sect, followed by the appearance of an elder wearing a grey robe.

“It’s outer sect Elder Gu!”

“Oh, to think a young lad like you would attack our Sect. Do you have a death wish!?” Elder Gu asked while glancing at Masaru with surprise, he did not expect to meet up with an expert that was close to entering the Divine realm.

“I only came to announce my dėsɨrė to initiate a duel against the sect, however, the door guard looked down on me and decided that he would become a test to see whether or not I have the qualifications to challenge the sect” Masaru explained before glancing at the knocked out guard,

“And if this is the standard, I would only be disappointed” Masaru added

“You bastard!”

“You are looking down on us?”

“I, your father will teach you a lesson”

“If I don’t beat up this brat then he will be my grandpa!”

‘The heck?’ Masaru was taken aback by how these young people would call themselves father and grandfather towards others despite being so young, don’t they feel ashamed? Or is it an eight-grade syndrome of Cultivators?

“Hoho, you sure have the confidence to say such a thing” Elder Gu said while laughing heartily, it was not the first time said such a thing and it will not be the last. hench he never took Masaru’s words seriously,

“Since you wish to initiate the duel, what is it that you dėsɨrė from our Sect?” Elder Gu asked while ċȧrėssing his pure white beard.

“Information regarding Divinity Domain, and Divine energy,” Masaru said without hesitation,

“Oho, so you must be from another power system. Since we call it Martial Soul and Immortal Qi” Elder Gu said as he felt intrigued,

“Naturally, I am a Devil,” Masaru said with a smile,

“A Devil!? To think another one would emerge within our country”

“I wonder what is the difference between me a Devil Cultivator and a real devil”

“I will relay your request, you may follow me inside, as for you little Shaolin Monk. Please stay outside” Elder Gu said while waving his hand gently, yet a fierce gale of wind burst out against the two iron doors forcing them wide open revealing the majestic sect in its full glory.

Masaru followed after Elder Gu together with Kuroka and Roygun while Zhou Hai encourged Masaru while waiting outside, it was a hidden rule that during a duel other sects could not spectate the duel.

“So you’re a devil, from the underworld?” Elder Gu asked,

“Yes” Masaru answered,

“Didn’t they have their own cultivation method to achieve the Divinity Domain and how to convert your energy?” Elder Gu asked,

“Well I thought it would be convenient to learn it here since I need to do somethings here, whether I learn it here or back at home will not make much of a difference” Masaru answered with a smile,

“Hoho, that will depend on whether you can complete the challenge we will give you. So don’t get your hopes too high” Elder Gu said as the two of them arrived at the next set of doors.

“This is Elder Gu, can you please call your inner sect Elder Meng yang” Elder Gu called out,

it did not take long for a young man to appear before Masaru and Elder Gu, with long straight black hair tied in a low ponytail style, sharp looking eyebrows, obsidian coloured eyes. Wearing a yellow coloured robe to signify his status as an Inner Sect Elder.

“Gu, it sure has been a long time you have called me out specifically,” Meng Yang said with an amiable smile, he knew that whenever Gu called him out directly it could only mean one thing. He turned his head to glance at Masaru, however, when he saw the appearance of Masaru he could not help exclaiming in surprise.

“To think the host of Byakko would grace us with his presence,” Meng Yang said with a mysterious smile,

“You are the host of Byakko!?” Gu asked in surprise, he naturally knew of this manner but he never took interest in it hench he did not know Masaru was the host of Byakko.

“Pleased to meet you Inner Sect Elder Meng Yang, are you perhaps brothers with Meng Zhang?” Masaru asked curiously while glancing at Meng Yang, despite the difference in hair and eye colour the two of them had similarities.

“He is a cousin from my Mother’s side of the family, it’s a hnour to meet you, Byakko’s host” Meng Yang said,

Masaru could not help but twitch his mouth when he realized this elder was disrespecting him, he was only recognizing Masaru’s sacred gear but not Masaru himself. Even Kuroka and Roygun could not help but to frown at this attitude.

“Since you would like to initiate the duel, what is it that you dėsɨrė from our Sect?” Meng Yang asked,

“Information in regards to your martial Soul and Immortal qi” Masaru answered, he used the terms he learned form Elder Gu to make the request much simpler to understand.

“hmm… Such information is incredibly precious” Meng Yang said nonchalantly while tapping his chin wondering if such a heavy bet would be allowed by the sect,

‘This man…’ Masaru knew that the information was not much worth for the sect since it was public information for their sect members, however, here the man was debating as if the information was so important that it was related to the rise and fall of the sect itself.

“Since you asked for the duel you know that the bet should be in equavalent value right?” Meng Yang asked,

Masaru nodded so Meng Yang’s smile grew wider, “Since that information is only allowed to be read by our sect disciples, the condition on the bet is that when you lose. You will become our slave for a thousand years”

“You bastard–!” Roygun roared in rage, however, Masaru gently touched her cheek causig her to flinch and calm down almost instantly. That was just how much the girl loved Masaru, a single touch could calm her raging her. But she still glared at Meng Yang hating this man.

“Don’t you think the bet value is unreasonable?” Kuroka asked,

“There is no rule stipulating how the value is determined, it is us who determine the value at the time of the challenge. And I determined the value of Byakko’s host to be as such” Meng Yang said nonchalantly, while snickering in his heart ‘Once I complete this bet, I will be able to rise in status within our family and take the position as the true Azure Dragon God from my cousin!’

“Very well” Masaru said nonchalant, despite showing a calm expression he was quite angered. Not only was his individuality ignored but he valued so lowly almost like he was worthless. Not his bloodline ability mind you.

“It’s a good thing that you are so understanding” Meng Yang said as he could not hide his disdain look at Masaru before leading them to the arena, there was not much procedures to follow since Duels are only a rare training event and nothing more so many of the upper echelons in the sect never pitched up.

“The rules are as follow, you along with your girls will have to face our entire inner sect” Meng Yang said the “additional” rule which Zhao Hai mentioned to Masaru,

‘To think he would go out of his way to ensure I will not win, does he has ideas of his own regarding me?’ Masaru thought, he knew Meng Zhang wanted to kill him so his initial relationship with the supernatural of China was not the best.

So he was vigilant towards these cultivators, with his divine grimoire he knew he would be able to escape with the girls should anything happens. When he went up stage together with Kuroka and Roygun, the three of them was suddenly surrounded by disciples wearing red robes made for the inner sect disciples.

“So we are surrounded right of the bat huh?” Masaru said as he sensed the prowess of the surrounding disciples were that of False ultimate ranks, although he had Roygun and Kuroka who had similar strength as him it will be a harsh battle for them.

‘Since recovery items were not banned from this duel, I can use it but also have to expect them to have as well’ Masaru thought as he glanced at the leader of the group who stepped forward.

“Young ladies, there is no need to risk your lives for this worthless man. If you join our sect then we can promise you all the riches, fame and even guide you to become powerful cultivators” The leader spoke haughtily while glancing at Kuroka and Roygun with lecherous eyes.

“Nya? Compared to master, I definitely won’t follow someone as disgusting as you” Kuroka said while pinching her nose, although she done it instinctively it was the Ki surrounding the man that made her feel incredibly disgusted.

Masaru too sensed the murky Ki surrounding the man, killing someone would give them the aura of a killer, however, this man had a disgusting aura that made Masaru speculate that he was a rapist.

“Ho! It’s the yin depriver! To think Elder Meng Yang chose him to lead, we will win!!!”

Hearing what the cultivators were talking amongst themselves, Masaru realized that his speculation was indeed correct.

“From the sound of your title, I would rather choose my master over you” Roygun uttered with a cold harsh tone, her eyes looked at the leader with disdain.

“Fufu, you two will soon learn of the pŀėȧsurės of being born as women when I lay the both of you on the bed” The leader said as he licked his lips, he took a step forward feelign there was no need to wait any longer to have his way with the two girls and put on a show for his fellow disciples.

BOOM!

Masaru who was showing a stoic face, was incredibly furious to the point he dragonified his arms. His arms was covered in white dragon scales reflecting the sunlight, even the sensation of punching the leader felt no different from swatting a pillow.

The area Masaru dileberately aimed for was the location of the Dantian, according to Zhou Hai if an attack at the region of the dantian exceed what the body can handle then it was possible to cripple the cultivator for the rest of their life unless they recieve a miracle potion to heal it.

Blood spurted out from the leader’s mouth splattering along the path he flew before he crashed into the surrounding disciples taking some along before they crashed on the ground like a heap of corpses.

“This—”

“What power…”

The disciples glanced at Masaru with surprise, they did not expect that Masaru was no weaker than any of them. In fact he was slightly stronger than them, feeling a hot sensation in their face as if they have been smacked. The disciples roared in rage as they pounced on Masaru and the two girls.

“For Brother hėntȧɨ!”

“Kill him!”

“Nyahahaha” Kuroka giggled as several formation filled with yokai inscription, she launched a tri-sphere attack towards several disciples.

“What is this!?”

“GYA!!! My balls!”

The disciples that were touched by the sphere all collapsed on the ground while holding their crotches, Kuroka smiled sinisterly as she remembered these worthless people dared to look at her so lecherously. She would only allow her master to look at her with such eyes, in fact she wanted him to look at her like that every single second of her life.

“Damn you!” The disciple who managed to dodge teh attack dashed towards Kuroka, he did not notice her two cat tails and black cat ears emerged from her body as she revealed her true form.

Her eyes squinted playfully as she took a step back dodging the incoming strike, swinging her right hand she gripped the cultivator’s face while her claws pierced into the skin. “AAAA!!!”

Before the cultivator could counter, she stretched her right leg right behind both his legs before pushing with her magic enhanched strength slamming his head into the ground creating a miniature crater knocking him right out.

“Fierce Gale Sword strike!” Another disciple appeared near her slashing towards her neck, her ears twitched when she heard teh sound of the approaching sword dodging the sword strike at the last moment while taking a step back with her left hand clenched into a fist and her right palm pushing against her fist as she slammed her left elbow into the solar plexus of the cultivator.

“Guah!” The cultivator dropped his sword as he blanked out for an instant under the impact of the elbow strike, he leaned forward with his hands closing to cover his stomach. However, Kuroka already jumped into the sky twisting her body in a spiral motion before kicking the side of the cultivator’s face launching him similar to how Masaru did with the leader to crash long with several fellow cultivators into the ground.

BOOM!

“Nyahahaha, this is fun!” Kuroka giggled as she sprints towards the disciples, dodging each strike while attacking them ruthlessly, towards their eyes, their throats and even their crotches without care.

“This–” Meng Yang glanced in surprise at how powerful these people turned out to be, although they were similar in power strength compared to the Inner Sect Disciples. Masaru and the girls had much more battle experience, especially life and death battles compared to the Disciples of his sect.

“Damn it… Will I have to attract the Core disciples into this?” He whispered feeling that the condition he made would not be enough to defeat the host of Byakko.
