Chapitre 119: Hero Faction strikes Devil's Part 1
Next morning Masaru woke up among the sleeping naked princesses who indulged in another battle last night since they felt a bit turned on when they peeked at Kuroka who thoroughly enjoyed her lovingly moment with Masaru, seeing the black and white cat sleeping while holding one another and their bodies showing similarities especially in their sizes Masaru could only think he was lucky to experience a double sister sandwich.
"Morning nyan" Kuroka woke up with a satisfied smile before letting go of Shirone so she could lean against Masaru,
"Are you fine with leaving Vali's team?" Masaru asked as he gently caressed the back of her ears making her moan softly,
Kuroka nodded, "They knew I was waiting for the time I can be with you since you enjoy going out on adventures I would naturally prefer to enjoy them with you"
Masaru chuckled before rolling with Kuroka on the bed pinning her down with him on top, "From the looks of it you're seeking quite the different kind of adventure"
Hearing this Kuroka's face blushed a bit before her eyes gaze a trace of anticipation, before they started again Masaru made sure to cover the room with a silent barrier so he will not disturb his mother's rest and chose to enjoy another dish before getting out of bed.
After while of indulging himself a bit, Masaru and Kuroka went to meet up with Azazel, Odin, Vali and the rest at the Hyoudou's Residence. When Masaru knocked on the door he was led inside by Rias.
"Morning" Masaru greeted before he was led inside,
"Morning boy, oh! How I envy the youths" Odin gave Kuroka a meaningful glance while Masaru took his seat,
"Vali, what is your objective this time?" Masaru asked while he glared at Vali, he knew Vali would only approach them with an objective in mind
Vali only shrugged his shoulders answering nonchalantly "I am only seeking to face again Loki, it won't be easy to fight a god such as him"
Masaru snorted, he had recieved reports that something was happening in the capital. However, since the devil kings were there he did not need to rush. "I doubt that is your only goal, but for now I will have to rely on you. Azazel it appears the Hero Faction has been attacking the Underworld so I will have to head back home"
"So Vali's report is correct huh?" Azazel said with a surprised look,
Hearing this Masaru gave Vali another look, "So Cao Cao began his movements?"
Vali nodded, Masaru only sighed while rubbing his forehead feeling a headache was coming. "Well, for now, I will assist the underworld and Grigori fend off the Hero Faction"
Vali looked at Kuroka who was clinging a bit with Masaru, 'So you chose to stay with him?' Vali thought before nodding thinking it was better for Kuroka this way.
After chatting a bit more, Masaru head back home together with Kuroka while he said goodbye to everyone.
"What's the matter nyan?" Kuroka asked,
Masaru gave Kuroka a look, "Vali is after something right?"
Kuroka had a playful smile since she decided to become part of Masaru's team, although she cared of them as her friends she knew Masaru would not harm them if their actions did not threaten him. So she did not have to hide it, "Yeah, he wants to obtain Fenrir"
Masaru nodded before placing his index finger against Kuroka's forehead, "Relax"
Kuroka nodded and soon a spell entered her mind, it was a monster suppression spell made to suppress powerful monsters. "I want you to support Azazel during their combat when Loki brings out the two sons of Fenrir I want you to use that spell and teleport yourself with them to me. We can have those two become familiars"
"Why not Fenrir?" Kuroka asked,
Masaru chuckled, "Because all my girls are already powerful, you just need to train hard together with me. Familiars are only for emergencies and those two wolf pups have just as much potential as their father once they are trained properly"
Kuroka nodded while walking happily with Masaru, although she felt a bit sad that she had to separate for a short while with Masaru, however, since she managed to have Masaru grant her wish when he ate her one more time before he left for the Underworld together with the rest of his peerage, she was extremely happy.
>\/<
When Masaru entered his home he could see that things recently calmed down from the looks of his grandfather's and father's faces,
"Oh Masaru you came back huh?" Dominic smiled when he saw his grandson,
"I'm home, how is the territory?" Masaru asked,
Diehauser smirked at his son's question, "It's perfect, we managed to make some money from the neighbouring territories as well since they hired our security teams to protect their lands"
Masaru laughed happily, it appears the plans he set up to punish those who suppressed the Belial Family was finally paying up. This will improve their economy, while spreading their security detail's reputation across the Devil world which will increase demands for their protection.
"However, things back in Capital City Lilith is still under siege" Hearing his father mentioned a problem he was here to resolve he turned to his grandfather,
"I will head to Capital City Lilith with the girls so we can accumulate some achievements, in the meantime see if you can change the compensation the families owe us for the security for shares in their companies instead" Masaru suggested,
Hearing this Diehauser and Dominic drew cold breaths, this boy sure was ruthless against enemies he was patient in dealing with.
"I see, very well young lad, this old man will handle that" Damian appeared at the door with a smirk, he too felt it was finally time to hit the people that suppressed them where it hurts the most.
"Thanks, great-grandfather" Masaru answered with a warm smile before leading the girls out of the manor to teleport towards Capital Lillith,
"Now then my son and Grandson, we have more work to do it seems" Damian smiled with a happy face which infected Dominic and Diehauser, the three D's went to work behind the scenes "negotiating" (scam) with families which were a struggle at first.
But after a few "reasons" were given they managed to complete the foundations, it did not take long for Belial Family to have a share in several noble family businesses. From this day forth, no family in the surroundings would dare to suppress or threaten the Belial Family, they were simply too shameless and dangerous!
>\/<
When Masaru appeared in the capital he saw very few buildings were destroyed, he sent out the girls to do rescue operations while he heads straight for the Military Headquarters, when the soldier that was guarding the gate saw Masaru he immediately saluted "Welcome Demon Lord"
Masaru smirked when the soldier smiled, the soldiers still called him a Demon Lord but they trusted Masaru and this was a sign of their friendship. When Masaru entered the military grounds the surrounding soldiers all paused for a moment to give Masaru a salute before continuing their work, Falbium was looking out the window with a wry smile seeing his subordinates being respectful towards this young lad.
"Lord Asmodeus, you have a guest that wish to enter" a Soldier came to report to Falbium,
"Let him in" Falbium responded,
The soldier disappeared swiftly and shortly afterwards Masaru entered the room, "It has been a while Devil King Asmodeus" Masaru spoke with a smile
Falbium smirked, "Should I call you Demon, Demon King or Masaru?"
Masaru chuckled as he enjoyed having a carefree talk with Falbium like this, "Whichever is fine since I finally got rid of that Wonder child title"
Falbium laughed heartily when he heard that, "I'm sure you are here for the harassment we have received?"
Masaru nodded with a serious expression, "I am certain it is the Hero Faction that is currently attacking"
Falbium rubbed his chin squinting his eyes as he thought for a moment of a certain instance he sensed something, "That explains why we saw humans, but it's like their simply dumping humans and only retracts those that appears like they were entering a Balance Breaker state"
"Does it look similar to how a Sacred Gear loses control?" Masaru asked,
Falbium nodded at Masaru question, "Yes, the latest one did appear like the sacred gear broke apart and was about to reform or something"
Masaru thought for a moment then remembered the information he gotten from Khaos Brigade before, "They are probably trying to mass-produce sacred gear holders who attained Balance Breaker in this manner by forcing their pawns to face against powerful enemies"
Sirzech entered the room, "Correct, I have already confirmed with Azazel about this"
Masaru bowed respectfully "Lord Lucifer"
Sirzech waved his hands, "No, I am glad you arrived when you did because I can't recklessly make movements and my peerage is currently dealing with something else so I am grateful for your peerage helping with the current situation"
"What about Sairaorg?" Masaru asked since he did not sense or pick up Sairaorg's aura in the vicinity,
"He is currently guarding the Bael Territory under the Lord Bael's orders so there is nothing I can do to change that" Sirzech said,
Masaru could only smile wryly at his friend's predicament since he became an Heir of Bael he was also chained down to that Family. 'I will have to figure out something for him' Masaru thought then turned to Sirzech.
"Kuroka is now my pawn, so I will be dealing with something that was meant to be dealt with ages ago" Masaru said with a smile,
Sirzech looked surprised, "That matter was already resolved long ago when we dealt with the King Pieces scandal, but to think you managed to get her in your peerage... No, I should rather say it was to be expected"
"I see, that's good since I will be taking Kuroka and Roygun with me when I head over to China, so I wanted to resolve any problems we might have when Kuroka moves in the open ahead of time" Masaru explained,
Sirzech nodded thinking the choices Masaru made was quite reasonable since Kuroka and Roygun were both already educated and powerful, they have no need for school and Masaru, well he is special so him skipping school would not affect him since he already finished the highschool materials.
Suddenly a series of explosions could be heard from the distance when Masaru used his detection magic he realized the girls were currently busy taking on heroes but...
"Excuse me" Masaru spoke curtly before disappearing from the office as he teleported to the southern edge of Capital city, looking down at the stone-paved surroundings covered in dense mists.
"You do know Heroes do not cower like turtles in their shells right?" Masaru spoke with a mocking tone,
He landed on the ground looking at four shadows approaching, the closer they got the more detailed the shadows became.
The first to appear was Cao Cao, wearing his usual combination of a Japanese school uniform along with Ancient Chinese garbs while holding the true Longinus spear on his shoulder the way he always does.
Next to him was Georg, a young man with black hair wearing spectacles. Wearing a combination of a Japanese school uniform and a mage-style robe over his uniform with a feathered cape.
Next, to appear was Siegfried wearing similar Japanese school uniform with a priest coat over it, for girls he would look quite handsome with his silver-white hair and red eyes.
Last to appear was Leonardo, a short dark-skinned young boy with grey-blue hair and purple eyes.
"I see you already picked us up the moment you arrived here as expected" Cao Cao spoke nonchalantly,
Masaru was already used to this weirdo for a long time now, so to see the manner he was acting Masaru was not the least bit affected by it.
"Wonder what that God behind you really wants" Masaru spoke clearly, although the faces of the heroes were stoic Masaru picked a few signs of twitches on the fingers.
"Are you going to stand in our way as well?" Cao Cao spoke with a smiling face,
Masaru knew this guy was a battle enthusiastic so he was not surprised. "Well since I am already done investigating Khaos Brigade there is nothing new to learn for me except for one"
Cao Cao smirked feeling prideful that Masaru could not investigate their origins thoroughly, "Us?"
Masaru shook his head, "You guys are not worth my time since I already have a clear idea of your plans, however, I am more concerned about your tradings with a different group, they are more dangerous than you"
Cao Cao was not angry at Masaru's evaluation but he did not know was Masaru was highly vigilant against them but wanted to appear like he did not care about them, a common trick.
"So I can finally have a chance to appreciate a battle against you?" Cao Cao said while tapping his spear on his shoulder.
Hearing Cao Cao's words Masaru could only smile with a mocking look in his eyes, this look infuriated the people who supported Cao Cao but the moment they were about to move Masaru flickered with radical movements combining both earth and space magic to appear in front of Siegfried slamming his fist into his abdomen
"Guah!" Siegfried who was caught off guard did not prepare for the strike feeling all the oxygen in his body left him breathless before he was launched like a catapult rock into a boulder.
BOOM!
Crashing right through the boulder before landing on the ground, rolling along the way. Siegfried coughed a bit of blood while holding his stomach, Masaru ignored him and glanced at the rest of teh heroes.
The rest of them looked at Masaru with surprised faces "How the hell!?" Leonardo cried out in surprise.
Almost as if he blurred away from their sight, Masaru moved using his accelerated speed along with the radical movements and breathing patterns of trackless steps movement technique, Masaru rushed towards Georg who was preparing to teleport them away from here.
Georg immediately used his Longinus Dimension lost but Masaru was faster since he already scanned the energy properties of every sacred gear, "Worthless" immediately the surrounding mist vanished disabling the connection Georg had with his sacred gear, the only problem was Masaru only had a few seconds to deal with them.
But the moment Masaru was close to taking down Georg, with only one of a step forward to take, Cao Cao appeared before him forcing Masaru to draw his broadsword attached to his back.
CLANG!
BOOM!
Aftershocks blew a fierce gale around Masaru and Cao Cao lifting up dust and dirt, Masaru could feel the threatening aura from the spear that can kill even a god, his eyes remained focused as he knew one nick with this spear and he might meet the dead old man.
"Oiya, I never knew you went an made a new sword for yourself? Where is the other sword?" Cao Cao asked,
Masaru smirked at Cao Cao who loved to investigate his enemies, "In my pants"
Cao Cao was not intrigued with this joke and became quite serious as Masaru and Cao Cao started to trade strikes and blocks with one another, just like Masaru who used technique to divert Cao Cao's attacks the same was done to him by Cao Cao causing the two to trade blows but no direct hits.
"Huh!?" When Masaru moved away Georg felt his connection with Dimension Lost was restored thus making him relieved but looking at Masaru and Cao Cao's fight he speculated that Masaru could not disable the true Longinus.
However, that is only because Masaru had yet to reach High God-Level and only then can he disable the connection link of a Longinus like this spear. Since the Longinus spear was something God created and it was soaked in the blood of a God as well.
"You have some restriction on your worthless huh?" Cao Cao muttered,
Masaru smirked and only continued to attack Cao Cao harder, compared to other enemies Masaru could say Cao Cao was really at the top of using techniques. But his strategic mind, and analyzing abilities were equally something to look out for.
Masaru immediately materialized several hundred layer magic circle and fired off an elemental beam at the group of heroes that were spectating, this move forced Cao Cao to retreat to protect his team, using the opening Masaru flickered towards Cao Cao who was moving and slammed his fist into the face of Cao Cao.
BOOM!!
Just as Masaru expected Georg managed to teleport the beam into the Dimensional Gap, it was only a distraction he made since he knew Cao Cao would not allow useful pawns to get killed so easily.
Cao Cao crashed into the ground, he gazes sternly at Masaru before spitting out some blood. "That is quite low" Cao Cao muttered without feeling too bothered for being tricked like this,
"I'm a devil after all," Masaru said nonchalantly
"Cao Cao, we have finished our objective. Time to leave" Georg reported,
"I see, it's a shame that I can't continue our battle but I hope to face you again where we can determine who is right between our argument of being a hero. You or me? Only the strong one is right after all" Cao Cao said.
Before Masaru could make another move Georg already used the dimension lost to teleport them away, Masaru sighed feeling a bit let down since he still wanted to sharpen his techniques against Cao Cao since the thrill of walking next to death while facing off against that dangerous spear was enough to pressure him and the benefits was a sharper sense, technique and battle reflexes.
"Masaru, the remaining heroes were all disposed of" Akeno came flying together with Ingvild,
"I see, hand over the bodies for Ajuka's research facility while secretly keeping a few for our own." Masaru ordered,
Akeno nodded while contacting Ulrika to move some subordinates.
"Are you okay?" Ingvild came closer to inspect Masaru, but from the looks of it there were no injuries, it was thanks to Masaru's extensive training to enhance his reflexive sensitivity to the utmost degree that he could dodge strikes made by Cao Cao,
"I'm fine" Masaru answered before pulling Ingvild to give her a light kiss on the lips, Akeno who saw this pouted till Masaru pulled her into the embrace as well to kiss her lightly.
"For now we will have to guard the Capital City, Ingvild can you take Ulrika, Roygun, Everest, Angelica, Sakura, Ichika and Yui with you and help father protect our territory since I am certain more territories will soon call for security guards to protect their lands" Masaru ordered, Ingvild nodded before leaving,
"So it will only be Me, Stephani, Jeanne and Shirone with you here?" Akeno asked,
"Yeah, since Sirzech is here as well we can have him do some work from the shadows like my teacher" Masaru spoke while walking into the city, some of his subordinates of the organisation was already doing rescue operations in the meantime. From the looks of it, the damage was minimal from the estimated
"I will head over to the Military Headquarters, can you book a hotel for us to sleep at?" Masaru smiled, Akeno nodded before leaving in a different direction.
>\/<
"We will stop harassing the Devils for now" Cao Cao spoke while he held a bag of ice against the side of his face Masaru punched him,
"Are you serious!?" Georg asked Cao Cao with a surprised expression,
Cao Cao nodded "If we continue to send our batches of trainee's while Masaru and his peerage is there, they will be killed before they can even achieve balance breaker"
Heracles, however, snorted when he heard this, "Why not just send me and I will handle him"
Cao Cao gave Heracles a glance causing the latter to flinch, "If you flinch like that in my gaze then you will not survive against Masaru, neither him nor I have gone all out but to think he too would use my weakness to strike a solid blow on me huh? I have one more thing to work on"
"Anyway, we will concentrate our effort on the other factions" Cao Cao stood up while taking the true Longinus with him, Georg fixed the position of his spectacles before following after his leader loyally.
Heracles snorted "Hmph! If I was up against that Wonder Child I can rip him to pieces"
Siegfried felt a bit disappointed as he could not get the chance to face off against Masaru, he was thrashed before he could even make a move by a sneak attack. But he will be sure to strike first the moment he sees him again in the future.
>\/<
"It appears Loki has not reappeared which means he will surely strike the moment Odin goes to sign the treaties" Sirzech spoke while he read the reports he gotten from Azazel, he looked towards Masaru, "Also I have announced that Kuroka is your pawn to the Council so they will not make any movements against her"
Masaru nodded with a smile, "I will be staying in the capital for two days, afterwards I will head towards Grigory to give them support"
Sirzech felt relieved, "That's good news, my peerage will be here by tomorrow morning so you can go earlier if you want"
Masaru caress his chin while nodding, 'If I can go earlier then it will be better' He thought, for some reason he felt there will no longer be any attacks here but there will be at Grigori.
