How To Survive In The World DxD With Fragment Memories - Chapter 124

Masaru went to borrow the kitchen after paying the manager to allow him to, by the time he arrived with the breakfast he made for the girls he noticed all of them were pouting at him feeling wronged, “Something wrong?” The one to answer was Kuroka, “You were too rough last night!”

Masaru blushed a bit but still handed over the food the girls before taking his seat among them, after tasting the food all the grievances the girls felt from last nights mess was washed away and they could only indulge themselves in the food Masaru cooked for them specifically, ‘Guess I managed to dodge this bullet’ Masaru thought while enjoying his meal.

After the meal Masaru shared the information about his new Sacred Gear Mode with the girls to allow them to understand the reason why he turned out the way he did, “We have to come up with a way to counter this otherwise we might end up getting pregnant before we even graduate” Akeno muttered with a teasing smile, Masaru was not a bit affected but instead smile broader.

“I won’t mind that” But he knew it was not the time yet for such things, so they chatted a bit more about his new sacred gear mode before the girls all got washed and dressed before teleporting back home. “Good thing I brought reinforcements Nya” Kuroka spoke with a cheeky smile, Masaru gently gripped her tail caused her to shiver with her tail hair standing straight and her eyes becoming misty, he gently pokes her forehead before climbing off the bed.

“We have to meet up with Wang Long again today, maybe we can meet with Bala the Insect God as well” Masaru got himself dressed, “You want to face against Bala don’t you?” Roygun muttered with a sly smile as she could see Masaru’s face forming an unconscious smile when he mentioned Bala, Masaru nodded before looking at Roygun with eyes filled with anticipation “Correct, it has been a while I last faced off against the Seiryuu Meng Zhang, I want to see how much I have improved by facing off against a different Mid Class God”

“Nyahaha, you really are like me” Kuroka spoke happily while clinging onto Masaru’s back with her tail waving happily, Masaru gently poke her nose before she got off his back transforming into her human form, Roygun retracted her devil horns as the three of them left their room. When they exit the Hotel room they were met with two men dressed in tuxedo’s wearing black sunglasses but Masaru could see their eyes resembling that of a bee, with them was Meng Zhang the Azure dragon.

“You sure take your time huh? Byakko host” Meng glared at Masaru who returned his gaze with a nonchalant attitude, after experiencing combat against Meng Zhang, Masaru was no longer that fearful as he already made several strategies against this man to be able to handle him, however, whether it would work was a different story. “You know you are not welcome in the Chief God Wang Long’s territory, what do you want?” Meng snorted “I am here to give you a warning not to get involved in the conflict here, this no place for an outsider” Masaru chuckled while looking at Meng Zhang with disdain.

“Says the one who uses an outsider to cope with his enemies” Hearing this Meng Zhang did not flinch but his face grew darker, “That is a servant, you think I have outside allies? No, they are servants that should serve as our feet and hands!” Masaru ċȧrėsses his chin wondering how much patience their collaborator must have to be able to deal with someone like Meng Zhang, while the latter misunderstood Masaru thinking that Masaru is not the slightest impressed with his confident words. Masaru nodded “Are you done yet? I have to meet Wang Long”

Meng Zhang’s face grew even darker when he heard Masaru’s words as if he treated his own warning like air, “Good, very good! When I see you I will break your arms and legs, make you watch your girls get slaughtered… no, we can make use of the girls” Before he could finish Masaru used a flash warp which was an instant movement skill appearing in front of Meng Zhang giving him a hard slap on the face that resounded loud enough to attract the attention of the surrounding people.

“YOU!!!” Meng Zhang held his face that turned red from the smack, he felt humiliated to the point he almost lost control over his temper that he almost leapt towards Masaru and if it was not for the bodyguards who pulled him away he might have fought Masaru here and now but the bodyguards could not allow this to happen otherwise Wang Long will treat this as a declaration of war and earnestly attack Bala’s territory. “I will get you for this!!” Meng Zhang was shoved into the car before they took off, Roygun and Kuroka’s jaws almost fell on the ground from how surprised they were of Masaru’s action.

Masaru snorted as he watched the car drive away with an intense glare, ‘You have ideas of my women huh?’ Masaru felt his heartbeat was increasing with the rage he felt it was at this moment his loyal friend spoke to him in his mind [Calm down boy otherwise you will enter Balance Breaker state in front of the humans!] When Masaru heard this he took a deep breath to calm his stirred emotion but he still felt great, smacking a mid-class god while only being an Ultimate Rank/Low God Class power was truly enjoyable. Roygun pulled Masaru into a firm embrace pressing his face into her ample brėȧsts, this allowed Masaru to calm down much faster as he closed his eyes holding her firmly.

“You should control that temper of yours” Roygun lightly reprimanded Masaru out of concern for him that the enemies would take advantage of his love to his women, Masaru himself only smile wryly which was hidden thanks to her brėȧsts squishing against his face. ‘I only used that spark of rage to test the waters with my Dragon Mode but to think it worked. Drago, how is the transformation going?’ [You dare boost your anger like that!?] Suddenly Byakko’s sweet voice joined the conversation [Grandpa became an Azure Dragon] Drago fell silent before a loud scream and crying could be heard, ‘I-Is he okay?’ [No need to worry about grandpa, Papa make sure to be careful okay? I still want to play with papa later]

Masaru felt pity for Drago who completed his transformation earlier than expected when Masaru stirred the rage he felt when Meng Zhang mentioned he intends to do something to the girls, ‘I will have to send a few more books for him to read so he can calm down’ Masaru thought but Drago interrupted him [Be sure to create a tablet device you can equip with your sacred gear instead! I miss the times I could read all those comments on ] Masaru who heard this could only laugh wondering how Azazel will react when he hears that a dragon wants a tablet installed into the sacred gear to read books.

“Let’s go, Wang Long is probably worried by now” Masaru spoke with a smile as he held the waist of both girls at his side walking through the crowd when they turned around the corner seeing no one was around they instantly teleported to Dragon Sanctuary. The one who welcomed them at the port was Zhulong, his red hair was floating in the air with the wind, “Morning, it appears you met my brother?” Masaru smiled “Moring Zhulong, yes I met Meng Zhang and gave him my appreciation this morning for admiring my women”

Zhulong chuckled when he heard this, ‘Appreciation? More like a humiliation instead’ He thought while he lead the way for Masaru and the two girls up on the ship where Wang Long was currently talking with a messenger sent from Bala’s faction, “Your lordship, his majesty Bala Chongsen agreed to have a cease-fire if you would allow him to meet Masaru Belial who had been helping you in the last Skirmish” Wang Long snorted as he looked in disdain at the messenger, “Since when did Bala grow balls to make such a request to me huh?” The messenger felt a cold sweat run down his shivering spine as he gazes into the eyes of a dragon god.

“No no, it’s only because his Majesty Bala wishes to meet the heroes from the East” The messenger lowered his head not daring to lock eyes with the dragon god or he will get killed just form his glare alone, “Very well, I will go meet this Insect God… Then you must tell him my condition is to stop his attempt to disrupt the balance of China” The messenger turned vigorously to face Masaru who just arrived with Zhulong and the two girls rumoured to be his peerage members and fiancees. “I thought you would demand him to join the peace faction”

Masaru smirked, “I know he will not stop chasing the feet of Lin Guang, meaning he will never choose a side that is opposite of hers so I can only have him step to the side and no longer get involved in this for his selfishness, as a King of the Insects he should consider the prosperity of his people over his personal feelings in situations like this” Wang Long who heard this nodded feeling proud to have a good friend like this boy who considers the entire situation instead of only from one point of view, even the Messenger was impressed as the boy took his Lord’s personality into consideration to give a suggestion that will not go against his personal dėsɨrė but also give his people time to recuperate and prosper without conflict.

The messenger bow towards Masaru, “Thank you for your kind suggestion, I will head back to meet my lord and get his answer to your condition” Masaru nodded as the Messenger disappeared in a puff of smoke, “Good boy, you really thought of a way to make it almost impossible for Bala to reject this request” Wang Long laughed as he slapped the back of Masaru, thanks to his dragon physique Masaru was not bothered that much by the slap other than traces of divinity that tries to penetrate his body but is blocked by the spellbook that prevents unwanted energy from entering.

Wang Long’s eyes squinted as he realized that this boy indeed has the divine protection of a powerful god which makes him understand why he could at times not read the boy’s mind with his divinity, ‘Well at least from the exchanges so far and taking into consideration of his personality, I can trust this boy to help us resolve our conflict’ Wang Long thought while he went to enjoy drink together with Masaru since today Masaru came with his identity as the Heir of the Belial Family to discuss business proposal and get approval to build several Travel & Security agency branches over the lands Wang Long is in charge of.

Meanwhile at Belial Territory, “Yui watch the temperature it can’t succeed the threshold!” Elizabeth, Diehauser’s rook was currently creating the perfect sword Masaru once requested of them, they already completed the pseudo sword which was incomplete since creating a Dragon God slaying sword was something that could not be made instantly.

But this was the only trump card Masaru wanted to keep hidden from the world against Samael, since Masaru became a dragon he knew his weakness swapped from light attribute to dragon Slaying attribute, although he managed to cancel most of the weaknesses, one could not look down on the Poison created by God’s fury.

“Elizabeth hit the tip a bit more” Ajuka gave instructions to Elizabeth as he was also here to ȧssist them to create this sword, the reason for this was the fact this sword also made from the crystals Ajuka once used to make the Evil Pieces. Silently Shirone came into the workshop stopping next to Ajuka to whisper Masaru’s current state of affairs in China.

“He intends to meet Bala Chongshen?” Ajuka was a bit surprised as he did not think Masaru would make such a bold gamble, but considering the fact he did not know many people there it will only be reasonable, he will have to take some gambles. “Contact Thor to hurry up” Shirone nodded as she sprints away towards Ingvild who was in charge of keeping contact with every faction Masaru personally knows.

“Alright let the sword rest in the furnace to heat up, now let’s start refining the star fragment Odin sent for us” Ajuka led Elizabeth and Yui to work with the Star Fragment, it was truly by luck that the process was not halted here since the fragment requires and intense fire to refine it and Yui’s newly acquired Anthem Incinerate was just the right Longinus for the job.

“HMPH! That brat! I am going to slaughter him” Meng Zhang trashed around his manor breaking some valuable decorations in the process till Lin Guang stopped him, “Calm down! Or you want to ruin my house further!?” Meng who heard this froze turning to look at Lin wondering why she said her house instead of theirs, but Lin did not give him much time to ponder about it as she continues “Right now we need to ensure that Bala does not join their side at all, otherwise our plan for driving out Wang Long will be ruined, how else will we be able to disrupt the Ritual if he is still there!?”

Meng sneered “It is your responsibility to ensure that happens! You said to leave Bala in your hands as you will manipulate his feelings for you to make him attack Wang Long, but now you are already failing since Bala wants to meet Masaru personally!” Lin snorted, “I will be attending the meeting as well so I will naturally not fail, but you. You better keep your temper in check, you ruined our plans a few years ago and I will not allow you to ruin it again, you hear me!?” Meng snorted as he left the manor with angry stomps, Lin smiled sinisterly as she thought ‘When I take the power of Kouryuu for myself I will kill him and I can get all the men I dėsɨrė in the world to lick my feet’

Just when Meng was about to leave the area he was stopped by a shadow, when he focuses his sight he realized it was the silver-haired devil liaison they used to create the opportunity to extract the power of both Byakko and Kouryuu, “To think your woman would turn against you after so many years…” Hearing the devil speaking towards him with a mocking tone Meng simply ignored it “What do you want? To mock me?” The devil shook his head as he hands over a videotape, “I simply want you to realize that you have been plotted against, I suggest you watch yourself”

“What is this videotape?” The devil chuckled at Meng’s question before answering, “The one you thought loved you never did and only saw you as her slave, that video would be proof. I only want you to cooperate with me so we can bring down Masaru together” Meng did not instantly trust the man’s words but instead, “I will watch this first and think about it before I give my answer” The devil nodded with a satisfied smile “Good, you think about it and contact me. I look forward to our future endeavour” The Devil disappeared in the shadows leaving Meng Zhang looking at the tape in his hands.

“Your majesty Chongshen!” The messenger kneeled before the handsome young male who was wearing extravagantly decorated clothes fitting for an emperor with his sleek black long hair hidden at his back, “Wang Wei, tell me what was your discovery about this young boy?” The Messenger or should it be Wang Wei stood up tall as he began to explain how he met Masaru including the condition Masaru gave before he would come to meet Bala, naturally, Bala who heard this began to laugh heartily.

“No wonder that Old Lizard Wang would hang out with that boy, so he even took my personality into consideration huh? He is indeed worthy of meeting” Bala smiled as he looks out the wing, his friend Wei could understand how his lord was feeling since the two of them grew up together. Bala was selfish and always wanted to have the things he wants, the harder it is to get it the more obsessed he becomes with it. It was similar to the case with Lin Guang until Bala learnt of the strange movements of Lin meeting multiple different men caused him to reconsider his feelings towards her and the last thing to hit the axe in the tree was the existence of Masaru who intrigued him.

“Agree with his condition, I want to meet this interesting boy” Bala spoke with a domineering voice as he could not show a weak side to anyone as the world of the Insects was different from others, here a simple display of weakness could get him abdicated from his throne. Wei nodded as he turned to leave but when he approached the opening door he saw Lin Guang came to visit, this caused his face to become dark as he realized this woman was here to cause trouble once more. “Lala, I came to visit you!” Lin came skipping with a bright smile towards Bala who returned her smile although his heart was extremely cold and vigilant towards this woman, “It’s good to see your beautiful face that makes my day happy again”

Lin giggled a bit before she leaned on Bala’s ċhėst while drawing circles on it, “Are you going to meet that outsider?” Bala’s eye twitches for an instant but he smiled “Yes, I heard plenty of things about this boy so I want to meet him for myself” Lin lifted her head looking with a sad face, “You’re not going to turn against me are you?” Bala shook his head with a smile, “Of course not” ‘Because the boy proposed something better for me than becoming your enemy’ Bala thought, “That’s good” Lin felt relieved thinking that her plan was not foiled but instead Bala had a hidden smile “Yes it is” ‘For who that is’
