Chapter 148: Monster Festival
"Masaru!"
"Big brother"
"Ma-kun"
"Ma-nyan!"
The girls all surrounded Masaru as he gave each of them a hug and kiss, "Sorry for calling you girls so soon, but we need to work fast. According to the speed of the monster, we have two days before it will reach Capital City, Victory. Roygun I want you to take charge of Hiei, lead the subordinates to safely evacuate our people forms the city. Ulrika, I want you to lead a team of our government to be ready, should anything get damage I don't want to see a single citizen on the streets until this invasion is over"
Masaru turns to look at Ingvild, Angelica, Everest, Stephani, Sakura and Ichika. "The six of you will be in charge of safeguarding the city, the rest of you girls will be following me to face off against this Chimera monster"
Diana smiled warmly as she looks at Masaru, even after hearing about Masaru's so-called company she did not flinch. "Masaru, this Hiei company"
Masaru coughed blushing a bit that he still had yet to tell his mother about it, this was something he could not reveal that easily "It's a secret Company I started for the sake of keeping our family and people safe, I will tell mom about it when everything is over"
Diana nodded as she watches the girls who were responsible for their tasks leave the house, her eyes became emotional looking at the back of her step-son whom she loved as dearly as her own. It has always been her who protected him, and now he was moving to the frontlines for her and the family's sake. 'I believe in your name my son, go forth and bring victory' she thought
"I will be back soon" Masaru spoke with a smile before he took left the house with Kuroka, Shirone, Akeno, Yui and Jeanne to face off against the creature.
"My King Diana" The once Queen of Diodora's peerage entered the room as she kneeled before Diana, soon the other once nuns entered the room wearing peculiar dark grey armours all kneeled before her.
"I have trained you, girls, to be his shadow guards, you know that the only rule is?" Diana glances at the girls like a superior looking at her subordinates, the traces of warmth was gone and reflected on her face was nothing but coldness and strict aura.
"Not to be found by Masaru or his peerage" All of them answered to which Diana nodded with a satisfied smile,
Suddenly her eyes squinted and with a serious voice she said softly, "Now go and guard him"
Whoosh!
All of the girls disappeared and only then did she smile happily, this was her sole secret she did not share with anyone even Diehauser. This was the hidden trump card she and the grimoire prepared for in case situations.
'I trained them to protect you only Masaru...' Diana thought as she had no intentions of having these girls join his family, because she wants the girls to start a family with someone else.
>\/<
"Masaru!" Azazel contacted Masaru, after summoning Issei only the eight pawn pieces came back. So the first thing he did was to contact Masaru,
[I have been waiting for your call Azazel, how are you planning to approach the current situation because I have my hands full with the monster heading for Belial Territory. I will try to finish up here as soon as I can] Masaru said,
Azazel sighed as he knew the monsters were equipped with variety of abilities so the other factions must have sent help to support them. Not to mention the number of monsters Leon Created was thirteen but incredibly strong, "Do you have contact with Ophis?"
Masaru felt perplexed why Azazel would ask this, he and Ophis naturally kept contact with each other as an agreement between them. [Yes, and if you are asking about Issei, he should be fine. She said she will save him, the only problem would be it will take some time]
"Issei is fine!?" Rias stood up vigorously as her eyes regained their spirit, hearing this Azazel sigh with relief when he heard this. The once dead spirit Gremory team regained their spirit in such a short amount of time,
'Well that idiot did touch each of their lives in a unique way' Azazel thought as he smiled.
[I will suggest you take his pawn pieces to Ajuka's hidden laboratory just to make sure the pieces are still functioning properly, you should know if a piece stops functioning it will become poison. Please note this is confidential information, so keep this to yourselves or I might be forced to kill you to keep this a secret]
Azazel glances at Rias who regained her spirit as she wanted to say something, but she was too overwhelmed that Issei was fine. "You heard him, make sure to head for Ajuka's Hidden lab and keep quiet about it too!"
>\/<
Masaru along with Kuroka, Shirone, Akeno, Yui and Jeanne were flying off towards the direction the monster was still approaching their Capital City without pause, it was incredibly large exceeding 150 meters.
It had the head of an aquatic monster, the body of a feline beast and a tail of a dragon. Due to its overwhelming size, the speed it was travelling was incredibly slow.
"So this is the power of the Annihilation Maker Longinus" Masaru was quite surprised to see this monster up close, he was once again reminded that sacred gears of Longinus class were all pinnacle gears giving unimaginable powers once trained properly.
"Let's do this!" Masaru smirked, he stretch his palms sideways. Softly he could hear Genbu's voice.
[So the time to shine has come? Poor grandpa is being neglected so easily] Genbu said teasingly,
[Hmph! It's your luck for specialzing in defense. Your only good for hiding in your turtle shell!] Drago retorted,
[Boohoo! Byakko, grandpa is mean to me] Genbu said with a fake crying voice,
[The hell!?] Drago cried out in pain as Byakko attacked him,
[Genbu Mode: Balance Breaker!]
His clothes transformed into a black scaled armour with his chest and back had the form of a turtle shell. Wearing small shields attached to his forearms, and fingerless scaled gloves.
"Four direction pillar formation!" Masaru extends his palm as a black pillar emerges from the north, White on the west, Azure on the east and red on the south. Despite the fact Masaru did not have Phoenix yet, he could still use this barrier technique using Genbu's balance breaker to make up for the absence.
Soon the Chimera was surrounded by a four coloured barrier that managed to stop its movements, each of the girls shared a kiss with Masaru before they all took off into the skies. Masaru smiled wryly looking at his girls, 'Issei gets titty flashes and I get kisses, why do I feel a bit disappointed?' he thought but it was only fleeting.
Akeno activated her fallen angel bracelet allowing her to fully transform into a fallen angel allowing her wings to sprout from her back, she extends her palm as a bolt of condense holy lightning materialized slowly shaping into that of a bow. Another bolt of condensed holy lightning-shaped into an arrow but this one had a more threatening aura than the bow, Akeno nocks the arrow on the string before she pulled it back.
"Lightning of my pledge, smite my beloved enemies in one piercing strike! Judgement Arrow!" Akeno released the arrow upon the monster.
Shirone and Kuroka "Our existences, Black and White in the form of our pledge, bring forth balance for our beloved and death for his enemies. Yin-Yang Blast!"
Both gathered their energy in the form of two spheres black and white, soon the two spheres began to swirl around each other before forming a single sphere with two six-figure halves swirling in a circular motion. With just their intention the sphere shot off towards the monster.
"Balance Breaker!" Jeanne activated her balance breaker as well, her sacred gear began to grow in number while pieces itself together swiftly it shaped into that of a white dragon with her standing on top of it holding a holy sword of her own.
"This sword represents my pledge, crucify my beloved enemy: Holistic Fantasy!" With a wave of her wave, several holy swords with powerful condensed holy power shot out from the body of the dragon followed by a dragon breath made out of pure holy power heading straight for the monster. The places where the breath fell on the ground, holy swords erupted from the ground all heading towards the beast.
Yui burst out her destruction power to cloak her body in the form of an empress dress, She raised her hand into the sky as she activates her sacred gear Incinerate Anthem "This cursed flames represents my eternal vow, burn my beloveds enemies leaving nothing behind, Incinerating Destruction!"
Pure black flames with purple tints filled with Holy / Destruction dual attribute formed a sphere above her hand, when she brought it down the sphere was unleashed upon the monster followed by a stream of holy destructive flames to propel the sphere faster while buffing its firepower.
BOOM!
An earthshattering explosion took place within the four corner barrier, first, the flames of the explosion took off into the skies followed by dark thick smoke forming a mushroom. Masaru could only smile wryly as that kind of firepower was really amazing.
'They sure have grown' Masaru thought but suddenly his barriers began to rattle followed by another earthshattering noise but this time it sounded like it came from multiple monsters.
When the smoke dissipated the sight of several pieces left from the attack was regenerating, but it was almost like each piece of the first monster's body was now growing into independent chimaera monsters that look exactly like their predecessor.
"Did someone not notify me if this was a Chimaera breeding season?" Masaru spoke with a surprised facial expression but soon a smile formed on his face, a peculiar smile appeared on his face as excitement gleams within his eyes.
"Perhaps, things will become interesting from now on" Masaru muttered as he decides to take a step forward, undoing the genbu's balance breaker.
"Let's go my partner" Masaru said as azue dragon aura burst from his body,
[Hoho, it's time to harvest some Virgins! (First blood) again! Bwahahahaha I'm excited!] Drago became incredibly excited.
[Azure Dragon Champion!]
[BALANCE BREAKER]
BOOM!
A vortex made up from nothing but azure dragon aura swirls around Masaru who was no longer wearing an azure coloured plated armour, his appearances was mostly human with slight azure coloured skin where his dragon scales would have emerged except for his chest, abdomen, sides and head.
Instead the black armour of Genbu Balance breaker was replaced by azure coloured pants, azure boots made from dragon skin. a Pair of azure coloured gauntlets and azure coloured dragon wings. His torso was exposed, at this sight, the girls could not help but blush when they saw this. Although they wanted to enjoy the sight more, they turned their gaze back towards the hordes of Chimaeras.
"Let's get physical" Masaru muttered as he took a step forward.
>\/< Twelve hours later.
"How is the progress of evacuating the people?" Roygun asked when she turns to look at Zhou Hai who was helping her with leading the teams, Zhou Hai had his eyes peeled on the monitoring screen that was linked to several mobile feeds that were capturing key locations where the evacuations were taking place.
"Madam, they have completed about twenty percent. It is a bit of a struggle as the people actually want to fight!" Zhou Hai wipes the sweat from his forehead as he never would have imagined that the people of Belial would want to stand up and fight the monster instead of running for safety. 'Dear Satan, do these people not fear those monsters? It's like their fighting spirit was ignited when they heard young master was fighting'
Roygun giggled as this was something funny to imagine but the safety of the people was their priority, after considering some options to convince the stubborn people she replied, "Just tell them it is Masaru's wish for them to retreat safely"
Zhou Hai nodded, activating the communication formation set up at his desk he started calling several people sending out the orders at post-haste so nothing will be delayed. He had been enjoying this job, despite being stressful like this. He felt fulfilled, he was doing something meaningful with his life.
Seo just entered with a stack of papers, "Yo Lady Boss, it appears we will have company soon. I am not sure who but all the remaining loyalist of Shalbas group are all launching a suicide attack, I have already stationed several teams at places I predicted they would act"
Roygun nodded as she was about to contact Akeno when an earthquake shook the entire Belial Territory, if it was not for the fact Hiei installed formations to keep all it's buildings the it would have collapsed from how severe this shaking had been. Everyone stood silently till the quake was over in an instant, it was only when the communication magic went through
"Akeno what happened back there?" Roygun asked in a anxious voice, her heart had been beating incomparably hard after she thought something might have happened.
[Ara? Fufu, it appears Masaru got a bit excited for a moment and decimated the monster] Akeno answered nonchalantly, hearing this everyone in the office was floored.
'Dear Satan, does our boss have to overkill it by this degree!?'
"You mean to say this earthquake was caused by him!?" Roygun asked in surprise,
[Yes] Akeno answered once more nonchalantly,
"Is there any damage or casualties there?" Roygun asked while she signalled to Zhou Hai to send some subordinates to scout there in the meantime,
[Well there was no town or village nearby, and we are currently fixing the aftermath of Masaru's attack right now. It might take us a while] Akeno said, at this time the mobile camera that arrived at the location connected to the monitor remotely.
Roygun swallowed her saliva, soon a projection of the area where Masaru and the girls fought the monster was displayed but it was not a plain, nor forest but an oversized crater charred black. "Jesus... Is that the boss's doing?" Seo stared at the screen his cigarette almost falling from his mouth, he did not even seem to notice that it burnt a hole on his pants.
Shortly a magic circle materialized next to Roygun's ear,
[Dear] Masaru called out with an embarrassed tone,
Roygun smiled when she heard Masaru's voice, she could hear how embarrassed he was for losing himself in his excited state. He really did not face a good punching bag like this one in a long time.
[Sorry I left some work for you girls. Tell Ulrika she only needs to keep the people in the shelters for the day to make sure no more monsters appear. In the meantime I will be heading out to the Sitri Family Territory to deal with the monster that appeared in their territory] Masar reported,
"Will you be fine?" Roygun asked,
[Yes, it has been a real long time I managed to face something that could take some hits. Thanks to it I managed to test my personal magic techniques, I have been relying too much on the Grimoire lately. Make sure to keep things running okay? Love you] Masaru said with a smile,
>\/< One day passed
Masaru moved from one territory's capital city to another territory's capital city facing off against the smaller monsters which Azazel had named Bandersnatch, if it was not for how their appearance was then Masaru would have been certain their most dominant genetic code was the Cockroach for how difficult it is to kill them with their regeneration power.
Currently, Masaru was heading for the second last Bandersnatch that was currently being pushed back by a team of Valkyries sent by Asgard for support. Masaru admired how they could keep it sealed without it being able to cause much casualties, it was known that these creatures were made with several properties which included being strong against Valkyries and Devils.
"Keep it occupied!" a Beautiful woman was giving orders to the group of Valkyries who were attracting the monster's attention while another team attack it from the blindspot. Leading them was a beautiful woman with long light blue hair wearing similar Valkyrie armour.
[Balance Breaker! Azure Dragon Champion Mode!]
Masaru landed right in front of the valkyries who were attacking the monster, his eyes became slits as he licked his lips unconsciously while his knuckles made crackling sounds as he clenched them into fists.
"Who is this?" One of the valkyries questioned, although she could not add on how hot Masaru appeared while not wearing anything over his torso.
"Codex of the Worthless: Worthless Punch" Masaru muttered as he appeared right in front of the monster using earthen steps to explosively increase his movement speed, the monster did not react until Masaru slammed his fist cloaked with divine dragon aura with worthless attribute imbued within it.
BANG!
"GROOOOHHHHH!!!" The monster roared in pain, the location where Masaru slammed his fist caused it's flesh to cave in along with tears within the skin where it could not bear the brunt of Masaru's attack with blood flowing out. Seconds went by, yet the Monster was not regenerating.
This was a punch technique, using dragon aura to increase his power explosively. He imbued worthless within the attack to nullify the energy that was being supplied to allow it to recover faster, naturally, this attack could also nullify varies things. Yet for this moment, Masaru felt the need to first deal with its regeneration before he continued his attack.
"Codex of the Worthless: Worthless domain!" Masaru called out as a massive formation appeared with the monster as the centre, causing magical, divine and ki in the surroundings to suddenly become non-existent. Even the monster suddenly realized that it was in trouble unless it could get out of this domain.
"H-He is powerful" One of the girls who used debuff domain magic knew how powerful this monster was and Masaru's abilities was higher.
"Who are you!?" The leader of the Valkyrie called out to Masaru who smirked, he did not answer her question as he once more sprint towards the monster. Roars in pain followed by air explosion caused by Masaru's attacks resounded throughout the area,
"I'm an ally and that is all you need to know, can all of you step back? I am about to explode this big guy" Masaru said before he continued to slam his fist cloaked in worthless attribute after trials and error Masaru perfected his ability to shut down specific organs within the body.
Similar to what he did when he caused Dohnaseek to disintegrate when he cancelled the energy that kept the cells connected with one another, he started to disable specific organs required for one to control their magical energy from rampaging within their bodies. It was the kind of technique Masaru had already created a theory with, yet due to its fearsome display in power and the grotesque sight, he could not make use of this idea yet.
Until now...
Hearing Masaru's words the girls hesitated till their leader nodded at them pulling back.
Seeing that the Valkyrie all pulled back, Masaru smile became wider. 'Teacher once tried to teach me his formulae, however, after we debated over it we both realized that his technique did not work with me. At first, I thought I was not talented, luckily I managed to find it after all. My own path' Masaru thought as he smiled.
'Teacher pursue creation, manipulating the laws. However, I pursue the path of the Worthless. Before my sight, everything should simply be worthless. No need to calculate, as long as I know it's properties. Regardless of what it is, it's worthless once I know it.' Masaru smiled as he finally managed to piece it together, all his techniques linked with his worthless ability. He came up with a name for it. "Codex of the Worthless: Mana disruption"
At the utter of Masaru's voice, the mana within the monster suddenly became berserk beyond its control causing its body to deflate like a balloon, it did not take long for its body to start tearing with blood oozing out. "Wuuuuu!!!!" The monster cried out in pain, yet its body did not show signs of stopping at it continues to expand.
"Ah damn!" Masaru shrank back when he realized that he underestimated this attack of his, he points his right palm towards the creature as a transparent box barrier surrounds it.
"Codex of the Worthless: Punishment Room of the Worthless" With the barrier set up to nullify the explosion from going further than it's a range, Masaru heaved a sigh relief until an earth-shattering explosion occurred.
KABOOM!
The explosion shook the surroundings, yet not a single energy escaped the barrier Masaru placed. He sweated a bit with a smirk as he focused on containing the blast, he did miscalculated that the noise was not prevented which caused the surrounding to shake despite the fact that the explosion was contained by him.
When the fire died off all that was left was ashes of what was once the monster, with a wave of his hand Masaru compresses the barrier before teleporting it into the dimensional Gap. He was not certain if the monster might contain a virus that could kill devils, he did not take chances and simply got rid of it immediately. He naturally notified Sirzech of this approach as well.
When he turned around undoing his balance breaker, the girls held their breath looking at him with strange gazes.
"Masaru Belial, I am currently the mobile support" Masaru introduced himself after everything was under control,
The beautiful leader stood in front of her team saluting "Brynhildr, daughter of Odin and Support from Asgard, Captain of the Valkyrie"
Brynhildr greets herself while her cheeks were blushing a bit, 'This is Masaru Father wanted me to meet?' She thought as she found Masaru to be incredibly handsome, powerful and he appears to be responsible.
She took an interest in this man, Masaru Belial. Although it was because she did not have a chance to meet many men other than those lousy Asgardians that were mostly battle junkies and drunks.
"It's an honour to meet the strongest Valkyrie" Masaru smiled as he did not expect for Odin to send his daughter as support, he considered that old pervert took this alliance seriously so he welcomed her aid. He would have never guessed that old man was trying to sell his daughter to him like he did with Rosseweise to Rias.
"Thank you, it is an honour to meet you as well, my father told me a lot about you" Brynhilde escorted Masaru as the two of them went off to report to the Devil in charge of the defence here.
"I will be heading off to the last location Bandersnatch is at then for Lilith" Masaru mentioned this before they entered the room.
Brynhildr paused for a moment before asking "Can I join you?"
Masaru paused as he looked behind him, a smile appears on his face since he was thinking of getting someone to help him. "Sure, I could use an extra pair of hands. My team is currently taking care of Belial Territory for me"
Brynhildr knew he was speaking about his women, this gave her hesitation at first. Yet she still continued to follow after him, it was because there was a part of the reason that she still wanted to learn more about Masaru. Because of the fact, Masaru was the first person her father suggested of dating so seriously to her surprise, she did not object this time since he appeared so seriously but did not agree either.
'Just what is that old man seeing in him?' She thought as she followed feeling incredibly curious about who and what he is.
