How To Survive In The World DxD With Fragment Memories - Chapter 129

Li Tieguai leads Masaru and Thor into the mountain till they reached a small village with several small family households, men were working on the field together, while ladies cleaned laundries as well as teaching their children. “I know what you two seek, but I will not give it to you” Tieguai spoke arrogantly as he did not think he was weaker than these two, he believed he was stronger. Masaru raised his brow “Are you certain you intend to stand against us?” Masaru asked the old man.

“Xiangu told me plenty of things about you Masaru Belial” Tieguai turned to face Masaru looking into his eyes, “And from what she mentioned was you are reasonable, why are you pushing me to answer when I don’t want to?” Thor crossed his arms when he heard the old man, “Because the one you aided was my brother, you brought your country into a problem of another country.” Tieguai snorted when he heard Thor’s words.

“You think I don’t know what you do to people?” Tieguai roared with rage, “I heard how you treat the poor in your lands! And you think you can point your finger at me!?” Masaru was surprised to hear this, ‘It feels like…’ Masaru came to a conclusion as he confronts Tieguai “You have been lied to, you know that right? Loki is the god of trickery, the most basic thing about tricks is to lie” Masaru muttered as he glances at Tieguai with disappointment.

Tieguai became unreasonable “You shut up boy, you are not even a God and you dare speak at me like this!?” Masaru smirked as he stepped forward close enough he could feel the old man’s breath growing ragged, “You going to do something huh? Tieguai, you are finished as everyone knows you collaborated with outsiders. Good or evil they won’t care, all they care about is the fact you aided an outsider over your own people” Masaru smirked causing Tieguai to feel anger as he struck out a palm but the moment it reached Masaru it became a pat instead.

“It appears you still have to learn control” Masaru muttered as he felt happy his worthless aura erased the kinetic force behind the attack to slow it down, before Tieguai could move back Masaru slammed his left fist into the old man’s ċhėst making him move a few steps back. “So here’s a deal, if you win we leave. If I win, I want your answers, one on one duel” Masaru muttered to which Thor was surprised but he did not interfere as he believed from this moment it was a duel that should be honoured.

Tieguai slapped his ċhėst as if he was trying to get something off from his clothes before he took a glance at Masaru, “Very well young man” The old man was smiling happily like he managed to get what he dėsɨrėd, Masaru sighed as he smirked since he too knew this old man was teasing them.

[White Tiger Emperor Balance breaker!]

Masaru’s outfit transformed into a white shirt, grey pants with a chain belt holding it firmly around his waist, armoured black leather boots. Open cloak Jacket with a Belial Crest pattern engraved pauldron attached on his left shoulders, Deadheart was attached with Avalon acting as it’s sheathed however the design and colour were different as Deadheart and Avalon turned into a Katana with a white flame marked sheath. His left hand was wearing a full leather gauntlet till his elbow and his right hand was a similar gauntlet however it was fingerless, his ears were gone and replaced by silver tiger ears.

Seeing this transformation Tieguai clapped his hands with a broad smile, “So the rumours you achieved the Balance breaker for Byakko was true, now let this old man test it” Tieguai muttered as he disappeared from mortal sight but Masaru dodged his strikes without much effort thanks to his extraordinary heightened reflexive sensitivity. ‘To think he can dodge attacks of low-class gods without effort’ Tieguai thought as he kept sending a barrage of palm strikes at Masaru, Masaru kept waiting for the moment the old man will be careless before he made his move.

Tieguai took a step back but Masaru moved in as he begins to attack Tieguai, unlike Masaru the old man was having a difficult time dealing with strikes that stops mid-way and is instead launched somewhere else. ‘His reflex is monstrous!’ Tieguai thought till he just repeated what he just said only to realize that Byakko gave Masaru speed boost the most, so he began to unseal his divinity to match up against Masaru in speed.

Aftershocks of their battle were getting out of hand causing Thor to maintain a Barrie which he was never proficient in, “Are these two trying to tell me to learn magic?” Thor mumbled feeling quite envious how Masaru was fighting another God without care, ‘If only I was not afraid of my old man’ Thor thought as he watches Masaru and Tieguai moving unpredictably throughout the village while fighting, they did not stop when they sensed Thor sent the people away.

Tieguai snorted as he pulls back a open palm which he bends the fingers to make it look like he wants to scratch, he poured in divinity power into his palm before he struck Masaru “Tiger Destruction!” He yelled out as an illusionary tiger materialized as if to step on Masaru, pouring a massive amount of dragon aura into his left hand he punched out with a force strong enough to send out ripples of fierce winds that destroyed the illusion tiger with sheer force alone.

“Hmph!” Tiegaui snorted as he threw several needles coated with his divinity towards Masaru, but he was surprised to see how Masaru conjured several black holes to capture the needles before sending them back. But it never ended there as earth needles began to erupt from the ground along with roots of trees trying to bind the old man, “Good fuċk, where the hell do you get all these powers from!?” Tiegaui screamed out as he took off into the skies.

Masaru glances at the old man flying into the skies with a smile, ‘Divinity power is quite complex for me to scan it entirely, but the majority part of it relates to what they stand for’ Masaru thought before he materialized his own dragon wings before taking off into the skies, “Seiryuukonbo: Seipanchi!” Masaru used the grimoire teleport him right in front of the old man slamming his fist into the old man’s gut, “Seiryuukonbo: Komettofurai” Masaru grips the collars of the old man before shoulder throwing him straight towards the ground.

Upon impact Tieguai coughed out blood as he gazes at Masaru with surprise, he did not sense any space fluctuations when Masaru appeared before him. “Seiryuukonbo: Suisei no kurasshu” Masaru flew downwards as his dragon aura began to harden around his body like a protective barrier, Tieguai who saw this began to sweat heavily thinking this brat wants to kill him. He rolled to the right before sprinting away before Masaru crashed into him, a mushroom cloud rose from the skies as a fierce wind blew in all directions.

Masaru stood up from the massive crater he created from his attack while dusting off his clothes, he turned to look in the direction Tiegaui was standing. “Guess I can be serious” Masaru spoke as he grips the hilt of Deadheart [What boy? Are you going to feed me that disgusting old man’s blood? No thank you, can’t you see how ugly he looks? Just placing his face on the wall will ward off evil spirits] Drago complained causing Thor to almost lose control over the barrier as he began to laugh heartily.

Tieguai began to feel his fury building up the more he heard what the dragon was saying about him, “It has been a while Drago” Masaru muttered before he broke out in a swift sprint towards the old man, “Secret Sword: Chasing the shadows” Masaru concentrated all of his muscles as he moved to pull deadheart out of its sheath at blinding speed, Tieguai was lucky he twisted his body on time as it only cost him a right arm that flew off followed by a long deep crevice forming from Masaru’s sword strike.

Blood dripped as Tieguai gripped his wound glancing at Masaru with a shocked expression, “You want to murder me!?” He complained while he used needles to stop the bleeding while Masaru undid his balance breaker, “You have asked for a fight and you got one old man, are you satisfied?” Masaru asked while he went over to pick up the arm from the ground handing it over to Tieguai, the old man snorted “I can at least say you have a good shot at surviving”

Since the battle was over Masaru used the grimoire to spread a massive green magic circle that soon began to revert everything back to the way it was, “Time Reversal” Masaru muttered as he watches everything piecing itself back. “Since you two had your fun now it is my turn” Thor spoke happily “”NO!”” Both Tieguai and Masaru rejected him causing the poor thunder god to slump his shoulders, ‘You two made me use magic I was not good at! Hmph! I will get you both back for this…at the Rating Game’ He thought

After a while, the people came back to see their village was the same causing them to wonder if they all had a hallucination but thanks to Tieguai who wiped their memories their life will continue as it should.

“Congratulations Mrs Belial, it is confirmed that you have twins” The doctor reports to Diana the results of the scan, Dieahauser was shivering from happiness. Diana smiled warmly as she clasps her hands on Diehauser making the latter wake from his stupor, “You are going to become a dad again” Diana muttered with a shaky yet voice filled with so much happiness that it caused the man who had years of life and death experience to choke in his own sobs.

“Thank you…” Diehauser spoke to the Doctor who left the room so the couples could have a time alone, “Fufu, I wonder what Masaru is going to say if he finds out he has two siblings coming for him” Diana muttered with a smile as she could imagine how ecstatic Masaru would be, Diehauser laughed as he nodded “The girls will get motivated as well though” Hearing Dieahauser’s comment Diana began to giggle as the two of them chatted happily while gazing at her abdomen with warm eyes. ‘Grow strong, siblings of Masaru’ the two of them thought at the same time.

“Masaru met up with Thor” Ulrika spoke to the rest of Masaru’s peerage who came to have a meeting at Hiei Headquarters, she gestures for the girls to open the folders as she starts to explain. “Right now the business of the Belial is expanding, but Masaru asked me to give each of you girls an ȧssignment to keep a lookout on the Devil World as he is still wary of the Hero Faction that went silent. I, Akeno and Ingvild will head to meet one of the Grim Reapers Commander Household family to get answers on Samael.”

Roygun nodded as she continues, “I will go along with Kuroka and Shirone. We will go to Grigori check up on Azazel to confirm if Vali contacted him, perhaps we can get information in regards to the hero faction from him” Ulrika nodded, “Sakura, Everest, Angelica, Stephani. You four will remain in Belial Territory to safeguard it, most of the Belial Forces are back home so it will not be dangerous for us to move around a bit”

“Shirone, do they have these meetings all the time nyan?” Kuroka asked her little sister who was currently eating a snack, Shirone shook her head “Not really, I guess it is only because Oniisama is busy oversea. Your lucky to have been with him Oneesama” Shirone muttered with a trace of Envy while Kuroka had a smug face. “Jeanne, Ichika and Yui, the two of you will remain here in Hiei making sure things run smoothly. Right now we have managed to finish the movement of covert operation staff in the area there so information will be coming.” Ulrika gave the last order Masaru sent for her before he went to meet Li Tieguai.

“Also, Masaru said he should be back within the week” Ulrika announced something all the girls were dying to know so they began to cheer.
