How To Survive In The World DxD With Fragment Memories - Chapter 141

***Issei Hater’s Kindly Skip this chapter***

“H- He deflected Samael’s attack?” Issei stared at Masaru with wide eyes, Azazel chuckled as he realized what Masaru did can’t win against the poison but he should be able to keep Samael at bay. But Masaru had a different thought in mind, ‘Perhaps killing Samael will ease his sufferings and Hades will have no choice but to give himself up’ Masaru thought as he noticed Cao Cao and Georg were getting ready to join.

“Could use a little help here to deal with those two fake heroes” Masaru called out as the Gremory team began to prepare themselves for combat, “hoho I will be against the Governor again” Cao Cao spoke with a smile as he and Azazel fight in close combat, “Sensei!” Issei who equipped his Balance Breaker joins in the battle since he had experience facing Cao Cao, he could now dodge more efficiently. Georg himself was occupied dealing with the rest of the Gremory team who ȧssaulted him.

With the two fake heroes occupied Masaru sprints towards Samael who began to attack him by unleashing it’s tentacles to attack him from a distance while spitting out corrosive poison, [Damn boy! This poison is stronger than the purple pigs!] Masaru smiled wryly as he tried to use the trackless step to shift between Samael’s consciousness but this creature only followed it’s instincts which prompted Masaru to take his distance again after deflecting of Samael’s attacks with his swords.

“I need to get close but carefully too” Masaru muttered as he teleports behind Samael, but he was ȧssaulted with tentacles that sprouted out from Samael’s back. “ARGH!” Masaru roared as he slashed down the sword in his left hand cloaked with a massive amount of demonic power, enhanced with dragon-slaying properties a massive gash cut was left on Samael’s back as it began to roar out of pain and anger. Creak! The bindings on Samael’s body gave off a soft melody which alerted Cao Cao and Georg who looked towards Samael who was trying to break free from the seals.

“ROAR!!! ROOOOAAAAARRR!” Samael attacked Masaru furiously like a wild beast who lost all of its reasoning, even with Georg who ordered it to stop it did not. Masaru could feel something was wrong as his breathing was becoming ragged, Avalon vibrated as it leaked out its aura to combat against the foreign substance that enters Masaru’s body. With the help of Avalon, Masaru continued to fend of Samael’s relentless Tentacle attacks but with its mouth, open Samael suddenly unleashed a massive poison dragon breath towards Masaru.

“Merde!” Masaru cursed as he teleports out of the way, he could see that Cao Cao and Georg were losing control over Samael who went berserk from being injured by Masaru, [Papa, papa… Oneesama wants to talk] Masaru tilt his head wondering what Byakko was talking about, suddenly he heard another feminine voice [Nice to meet you, current Host of Kouryuu, I can see you are in quite a pinch]

Masaru had an urge to roll his eyes at this black turtle talking to him in his mind all of the sudden, ‘Well you have any suggestions?’ Masaru asked as he moved back for a breather, he could feel his body was acting strange but he had to remain focused on Samael who was coming out for him. [Well I have only recently awakened but, with the help of Drago and Byakko-chan we can activate your Genbu Mode to seal Samael]

Masaru snorted as he wanted to kill Samael, but facing off against Samael with a huge disadvantage was different from how it was against gods who he could taunt. “Very well” Masaru answered, [I did not expect to have a chance to show my form to the outside world again, so let’s make the most of it okay?] Genbu winked in Masaru’s mind.

Masaru stood still as his body suddenly began to give off a black pulse, soon his body was engulfed by black smoke. Using this chance, Samael unleashed another attack upon Masaru. However, the attacks came to a halt as several layers of rainbow coloured barriers surrounded Samael like a Dome, when the black smoke dissipated Masaru stood wearing black scaled armour with his ċhėst and back had the form of a turtle shell. This turtle shell can come off his body and work as an independent barrier caster, his defence increase was equal to that of Seiryuu’s increase in strength.

Only his face was exposed, as he looks at Samael who was hitting the barriers while roaring with a frustrated voice. ‘Byakoo is speed, Seiryuu is Strength, Genbu Defence, Suzaku Magic?’ Masaru thought as he found his sacred gear quite amusing, “To think you would achieve Genbu… It really is out of our calculations” Cao Cao twist his spear as he chanted, Georg used the instance Samael was being restricted to send him back to Cocytus.

Samael roared out of rage for being forced back to Cocytus as it glared at Masaru one last time before it disappeared, “Balance BREAKER!” Cao Cao called out as he activates the true Longinus balance breaker for the first time in front of Azazel and Gremory team. “This is my True Longinus’s Balance-Breaker, [Polar Night Longinus Chakravartine]. It seems I misjudged the Kouryuu’s unique existence so I will no longer play around”

Still holding the spear in his hand seven orbs floated around Cao Cao, Masaru speculated that each of them had a peculiar ability. Several Magic Circles surrounded Cao Cao, “Hmph! I will not destroy them” He snorted but Masaru this time used active scanning magic to scan each orb before he moved forward [Byakko Mode!] His attire changed back to his first balance breaker as Masaru sprint towards Cao Cao.

Azazel conjured several Light magic spears sending them flying while Issei launched his Dragon Shot, Cao Cao smirked “Mala Ratana” suddenly the orb redirected Azazel and Issei’s attacks towards the girls who were facing off against Georg who was using his Dimension Lost Longinus to nullify most of their attacks. Masaru snorted as he teleports right in front of the approaching attacks, he had scanned Azazel and Issei’s power wavelength long ago.

“OOOOO!!!” Masaru thrust both his hands as he launched two beams of demonic energy enhanced with worthless attribute to nullify both attacks “Thanks Masaru!” Issei called out as he jets straight at Cao Cao, Masaru stood silently glancing at the seven orbs around Cao Cao “I will not allow you to study me! Atsusa Ratana” Cao Cao suddenly appears in front of Masaru striking his spear at Masaru who dodged it swinging his fist towards Cao Cao who manipulated a peculiar orb to intervene.

“Balinayaka Ratana!” Masaru slammed his fist which is said to be the strongest of the seven orbs, Destruction vs Worthless. Masaru tilts backwards from the aftershocks while Cao Cao flew back several meters away and if it was not for his orb Hatsutei Ratana he would have crashed into the ground from this attack just now. “I see, so that second orb that is lurking around the women is the reason they can’t fight Georg with their usual prowess?”

“I can only admit that seeing someone studying me like how I study others, feels strangely unpleasant” Cao Cao muttered with his cheerful face being gone, Masaru smirked as several hundreds of magic circles materialized around Cao Cao unleashing several attribute attacks all at once. “Atsusa Ratana” Cao Cao teleported away but Masaru already teleported towards Cao Cao swinging down his sword, Cao Cao blocked the attack with his spear but under the sheer force of the blow, Cao Cao crashed into the ground creating a crater.

“Cough Cough!” Cao Cao stood up as Georg appeared next to him, “We have to retreat! We can’t take on Masaru, his change is too unpredictable, unlike the two heavenly dragons!” Cao Cao nodded but just as they were about to teleport away suddenly the surrounding was filled with Grim Reapers which emerged from the ground. Masaru sneered ‘Finally the bastards I want to capture is biting the bait’ Masaru thought as he looks around but so far only weak Grim Reapers were emerging.

Masaru immediately teleported everyone back into the restaurant room, “We need to alert the people outside, Who will do it?” Masaru asked as he glanced at Rias, she turns to look at Ravel. “But I—” Ravel wanted to say she wanted to stay and fight but Issei cut her off, “You are my manager and a guest Ravel, I can’t have you get hurt for my sake. Please let Sirzech know of this” Ravel nodded reluctantly. Azazel convinced Irina and Xenovia to head for heaven to get reinforcements from them as well.

Masaru nodded the first the did was unleash attacks specifically at the devices that was forming a barrier around the space before he teleported Ravel, Irina and Xenovia out of the dimension back into the underworld so she could get reinforcements, right now they had to remain here so they could keep the Grim Reapers here for proof of Hades involvement. “I actually hoped that the skeleton will be smarter than this” Azazel muttered as he glances out the window where the Grim Reapers were all emerging from, they were here to kill off Masaru, Azazel and the Gremory team to suppress the news of Samael.

Meanwhile, outside “I see, so that is how Shalba repaid our help huh?” Cao Cao spoke as he looked at Georg, “Do you have a spell to switch places with Siegfried, I have to see if Ophis is with Vali” Georg nods as he began to chant an incantation which swapped the places with Siegfried, “I would have never imagined you would use a new spell you created using Dimension lost as the base for it” Sieg spoke towards Georg with a smile.

“Be careful, Masaru is far stronger than we anticipated—” BOOM BOOM! Suddenly the surrounding Grim Reapers were ȧssaulted by a massive amount of elemental attacks from Masaru and Azazel who flew out of the window, the Gremory team followed after them as Siegfried smirked “I see my two swordsmen are here” Sieg left Georg behind as he followed the Grim Reapers in the direction where Kiba was fending off the grim reapers.

“There is too many of them” Azazel complained as he and Masaru attacked the grim reapers with wide-scale magic attacks, [Promotion: Welsh Blaster Bishop!] Ddraig announced as Issei transforms into his Bishop form of his Triana and unleashed another wide-scale attack. “I will be troubled if you look down on Grim Reapers like cannon fodders” a mysterious voice appeared from above Masaru who smirked.

Wearing a black robe with a hood over his head and a clown mask on his face, Masaru speculated this Grim Reaper was an Ultimate Class. “I presume all the pieces are here now?” Masaru spoke towards the grim reaper who snorted “You have been a thorn in our side for a while now Wonder Child Masaru Belial, this Pluto will surely transcend if I were to kill you” Masaru chuckled when he heard what Pluto said.

Taking a deep breath Masaru twitch his neck a bit before a massive amount of dragon aura burst out from his body, “I will be keeping your body here” Masaru spoke with a cold voice, with a single wave of his hand Masaru conjured an uncountable number of magic circles that rained down attacks killing more than half the grim reapers “You…” Pluto took a step back but Masaru appeared right in front of him with dragon aura enhanced with Worthless attribute, he slammed his fist into Pluto’s face cracking the mask as Pluto was sent flying.

Seeing that their target has arrived Azazel began to fight earnestly, right now the existence of Pluto was more required than these low-level grim reapers which Hades could discard. But discarding an ultimate rank will not be so easy even for that God. BOOM BOOM! Pluto was anxiously trying to block Masaru’s attacks but none of them managed to block, each and every one of his attacks was connecting against Pluto’s body.

“You— Why have you not fought with this power against Cao Cao!?” Pluto screamed feeling that his treatment was unfair, he thought Masaru was a weak ultimate rank Devil Dragon but did not expect him to be this powerful. “Well that bastard have a High-Class God above him so right now I can’t deal with him, but you are a different case. Everyone is after your boss and you presented yourself to us like a cake for a birthday” Masaru answered sarcastically.

Georg felt shaken when he saw how powerful Masaru really was, but hearing Masaru’s words sent a shiver down his spine ‘If we did not have Lord Indra behind us… He would have killed us long ago’ He thought, under Masaru’s fierce aura the dimension was cracking. “Retreat!” Pluto called out as the Grim Reapers all began to flee but Masaru sealed Pluto in a barrier the moment he swapped modes back to [Genbu Mode] “You are not going anywhere my friend” Masaru spoke with a smirk.

Seeing the Grim Reapers were fleeing, both Georg and Siegfried pulled back, but above them, Shalba appeared holding Leon the Annihilation Maker Longinus host in his grasp. “LEON!” Georg called out to which Siegfried growled: “This is how you repay us for saving you Shalba! Let go of Leon!” Shalba laughed happily “Hey Siegfried. I certainly did get lots of ȧssistance from you people. You have my gratitude. Thanks to that, my wounds have healed. And I am having this boy ȧssist me by doing this”

Shalba activated a strange blackish magic circle causing Leon to scream out a terrifying painful scream, beneath Leon a massive shadow expanded endlessly as Masaru could feel an enormous amount of power was flowing out from the boy’s sacred gear. “You devils are all crazy!” Pluto was shaken seeing how crazy Shalba was to fȯrċɨbŀƴ make the Annihilation Maker go berserk, soon a massive monster emerged from the shadow.

The size of the monster was incredible, but it did not stop there as several smaller monsters began to emerge from the shadows. Shalba activated the Magic Circle sending them off, seeing this Masaru already contacted his girls to move out in case those were sent to the underworld. “It has been a while Shalba, you still acting like a fool you do?” Masaru spoke with a smirk on his face as the surrounding Dimensional space was breaking down.

“I will have the last laugh since I have sent the monsters to kill off the devils, that includes the children and everyone else who denied my birthright!” Shalba screamed out with an excited face, “You bastard!” Issei flew towards Shalba as the two of them began to fight, “We should move” Masaru suggested as Azazel nodded, suddenly Ophis emerge from Masaru’s body appearing before him.

“Ophis?” Shalba became excited but Ophis glared at him sending a shiver down his spine as he turns around to flee, “I will not let you go!” Issei flew after him, “Wait! Issei!” Rias wanted to stop Issei but Issei turn and look “I will be back soon, I can survive in the Dimensional Gap with my armour” Masaru felt a bit insecure about Issei heading off to face Shalba alone but his priorities are to see to his family and people is safe.

He could feel how the barrier was breaking down, Masaru glances at Ophis “Can you look after Issei? The rest of us can’t last long in the Dimensional Gap and I fear that fool will do something outrageous” Masaru felt a bit concerned for his friend who left but he needed to keep Pluto in his hands, and see that the girls were fine as he was not certain how powerful those monsters Shalba had sent off was “I will perform the dragon gate summoning in a while, so be ready”

Ophis nodded as she disappears after Issei, Masaru turns to face the rest of the people teleporting them to the Gremory Manor. “I will be taking this prisoner to Sirzech” Masaru spoke to Azazel who nodded before he teleported himself and pluto who was sealed in a box barrier into the offices of Sirzech. But this time Grayfia was not in the office, this meant the monsters were more of a problem than Masaru expected.

“You finally came! Who is this grim reaper?” Sirzech was happy that Masaru arrived on time after the entire Capital Lilith was filled with the remaining of Shalba’s old satan faction devils that filled the streets, even some of the Heroes who were brainwashed by Shalba are attacking. (AN: Not the Main Hero team btw), “This guy here is Pluto, he is proof that Hades collaborated with the Hero Faction to unseal Samael, which the Hero faction used to attack us a while ago”

Sirzech glared at Pluto who felt his soul going colder than normal, Sirzech was quite furious to hear his sister was attacked by a High-Class god’s subordinate. “I see, I will handle him. You will need to lead your team to safeguard Belial Territory, try to finish it fast as possible to support the main army protecting Capital Lilith” Masaru nodded as he undoes his Genbu transformation while Sirzech restrained Pluto himself. “Understood but I would like a raise in my salary for being your agent” hearing Masaru’s request Sirzech chuckled but his eyes were coldly fixed on Pluto.

Just when Masaru came out of the office Ophis contacted him, [Issei is dying…] Just when Masaru was about to say something, but mysteriously Ophis knew what he was going to ask so she continues [I can save him with Great Red, will be quiet for a while] Meanwhile, in the Dimensional Gap Ophis and Great Red were talking while they decided to save Issei together because Issei was the friend of Masaru. The initial processes made some sacrifices but it all went well, Ophis glances at Issei’s soul which is enclosed in his balance breaker armour, ‘Maybe Masaru will pat my head when I come back?’ She thought

Masaru just arrived near the Belial Territory, one of the monsters Shalba sent to attack their Capital City Victory. “Welcome home” Akeno welcomed Masaru who entered the house with a stern expression, “Where is my father?” Masaru asked “Current he took his peerage to help prepare the defensive line for Capital Lilith” Akeno explained, Masaru began to rub his forehead “Can you call all of the girls except for Sona to come? We need to start planning to evacuate our people from Capital City Victory” Masaru kissed Akeno gently on her lips before she left to call the girls.

“Is it about the monsters that appeared all of a sudden?” Calfa came through the kitchen when she heard Masaru’s voice, Masaru nodded “Yes, I never expected Shalba to lose his mind like this. Those monsters are equipped with abilities specifically designed to deal with Devils, so it will not be easy” Masaru smiled wryly before he went up the stairs to his office, the first thing he did was take out a large map of Belial Territory laying it on the desk.

Diana soon came in carrying two glasses of Juice, “Mother” Masaru went closer to take the glasses from Diana to place them on the table before hugging her. “Welcome back Ma-kun” Diana hugged her son gently, Masaru led her to sit on his chair while the two of them began to discuss the plans to save Belial Territory from a monster that had the appearance of a chimaera.
