章 107: Rating Game: Masaru vs Diodora Part 4

[12! The complete number that requires Masaru to step onto the field has come!] The announcer cried out in excitement

"OOHHHH Demon Lord!!!"

"The time for the Demon Lord to conquer the game has come!"

When the people heard this everyone broke out in a massive cheer, however, the look on Masaru's face was neutral as he was looking at his girls. They naturally knew what Masaru was thinking, they loved him as much as he loved them, they first looked at each other before all of them nodded. Masaru nodded as well since he was allowing specific girls to stand up ready to face the enemy King head-on,

[OH!!! To think Diodora himself has decided to reveal himself!? He even took his five pawns with him, is he perhaps hoping for a battle between Kings!?] The announcer spoke out happily thinking the Rating Game would reach a climax.

However, when the people saw the girls coming out of the portal the entire arena was silent, deadly silent. But shortly afterwards the entire literally shook when the people went in an uproar, the Demon Lord has face slapped Diodora once more!

"He does not even recognize Diodora as an equal!"

"What a face smack!"

"Heh, Diodora is only good to face off against his peerage members? What an embarrassment"

Starting from the Left was Shirone in her Neko-mode wearing PE school clothes and fingerless gloves, her two tails were swinging left and right while her ears twitch every now and then.

Next to her was Akeno with a voluptuous body wearing a Miko outfit, her long black beautiful hair tied in a ponytail.

Next to Akeno was Ichika in a maid-uniform, the skirt was shorter than normal to prevent her movement from being restricted, black garters making her beautiful legs look more appealing for the eyes.

"A Miko!"

"A Maid!"

"A Neko Loli!"

"Guards! We have a lolicon here!"

Angelica was behind them wearing leather armour covering only her vitals over her gentle green shirt and black short pants.

Next to Angelica was Yui who came wearing casual clothes with a bracelet attached to her left hand which was quite known as the magical girl dress change accessory.

"Hoho! What a variety of beauties!"

The people could see Diodora was shaking, he really was shaking from the Humiliation.

[Well this is a surprise, he sent his girls without caring for giving Diodora any face? Could he be scared?] The announcer asked this deliberately despite Masaru's father being next to him, but suddenly Masaru made his appearance as a projection.

"I hope your prepared to face the consequences for defaming me" Masaru spoke looking at the Announcer, but suddenly a magic circle formed next to his ear whispering something and that was when the announcer suddenly felt the piercing gaze of Masaru was terrifying,

"I will say it right here, my girls are not pawns. A few years back Diodora humiliated my girls in a party so I am currently giving my girls the chance to teach him a lesson, I am not scared if the Astaroth Family comes to ask me for an explanation because my answer would be that Diodora is not worth it for me to personally make a move" Masaru declared

"To Humiliate Diodora for the sake of his girls... What a man!" One of the spectators spoke with a smile,

"But what happened a few years back?"

Soon the people began to search through DevOOgle to find information till they came across an old newspaper with a small article of how Diodora compared Masaru's girls to Nuns he broke, no one said anything and only silently agreed since there was an article about Diodora's open defiance against the peace treaty so no one stood up for this scum.

'I will kill his girls!' Diodora glared fiercely as he opened up his palm revealing a black snake eating its own tail in the form of an 8 but sideways signifying infinity.

Before he could make another move Akeno was already onto him while using her demonic energy to enhance her physical base abilities to several folds, since she had permission from Masaru beforehand she will not let this bastard off. She swiftly struck down her palm into the throat of Diodora to disable his voice but was blocked when he cast barrier magic.

[Pawn retired]

Five successive retirements soon followed as the girls did not hold back against their enemies as they felt they had learned more than enough from them, and their minds can get shaken by the rest of the girls that were sent to retire ahead of them.

"Useless sl*ts" Diodora spit out his curse looking at the pawn nun of his retiring one after the other, but what he did not know was the fact these girls were already being taken away by Ajuka, this was naturally not part of the plan Masaru came up with but an individual's choice to save them now.

Diodora crushed the snake allowing the energy to enter his body-boosting his power several scales higher but was the girls who trained and fought with Masaru any weaker?

Akeno sneered at Diodora who released his barrier but he was a magician type so even with the boost his body was still weak, the moment the barrier was down the girls sprinted towards him from different directions.

Akeno who was the closest slammed her palm into his throat once more before he could shoot out a demonic bullet. The force against his throat was enough to stun him from taking actions until the rest of the girls were around him beating him up.

"Hell, this scene reminds me when the Nobles trample on the commoners" One of the commoners who came with his child to watch the game felt happy.

"Those girls sure are merciless" The other spectator was covering his crotch as the scream of Diodora echoed.

"Is the Astaroth family ever going to have an heir with him being disabled?"

"heh, he got it coming"

It was a fierce stomp and fist smashing against him while Akeno, Yui and Shirone ensured that each time his casting was interrupted before it completes. It was only when his face was beaten up like a pig face that they reluctantly allowed him to retire.

[King Retired! Winner: Masaru Belial!! Lord Diehauser and Lord Serafall the two of you were silent during the entire match, could you perhaps share your views?]

Diehauser sighed, [Some will think I am favouring my son because of what I am about to say, but there is a reason why I am in the number 1 spot for so many years. That is the same reason why my son won this match and I already expected it]

[He trained, not only his magic but body as well. Not to mention his girls would train the same menu as he does. Abilities and Inherit power becomes Worthless if they can't hit, especially when opponents are slow they get easily subdued... I hope from now on the younger generation will take this match as an example between those who train and those who don't] Diehauser stood up and left,

[Ma-kun! Don't forget your promise for my Magical Girl Show] Serafall does her pose and suddenly became quiet.

But the battlefield was not disappearing at all, even the rest of the girls were all teleported next to Akeno and them which caused all of them to feel anxious, even the stadium people were wondering what was going on, why is the battlefield still open.

Sona also appeared near the girls which caused a bigger commotion yet the people were wondering why was Serafall so quiet,

"is this Devil King alright?"

But no one had to wait long when Masaru appeared before the girls with a warm smile, "I am not someone who can always say flowery words despite the fact I feel like I want to say so many things. We have known each other for years and I feel this is the best time I could do what I wanted to do a while back"

Masaru went down on one of his knee taking out a small black container from his pants pocket, slowly opening it revealed a silver ring carved delicately with the Belial Family Crest. "I love you girls, with all my heart and my entire being."

Masaru gulped his saliva as he felt a bit too corny but he still took a deep breath to calm down before he asks, "Will you girls marry me?"

Hearing this the girls were covering their mouths some were crying while some smiled happily, it took a few years that they had endured many hardships alongside with Masaru, although their lives were happy it was difficult to get where they were.

However, at this moment. Their chosen man was kneeling before them asking for their hand in marriage, he who believed in their victory, he who gave them a chance to prove themselves. Shortly the girls looked at each other similar to how it was in the waiting room and everyone nodded.

The stadium exploded with cheers,

[He proposed! He won the match to propose to his girls!!!] The announcer cried out in surprise once more,

"Go for it Demon Lord!"

"What a man! To propose after winning a Rating Game!"

Masaru went on his knees in front of each girl asking them once more before sliding their respective ring on their ring finger and giving them a kiss.

Sona was the last one, because of Noble obligations and politics she will be the main wife so Masaru gave her even a tight hug. She was trembling as she never expected him to move this fast but she knew she loved him and he treated her the same as the rest of the girls which made her feel she made the right choice.

"You really got us here" Sona spoke for the girls with her hands on her hips but she was smiling, Masaru could not help but laugh at his fiancee looking so cute.

"It's because it was meant to be a surprise, I already planned to get engage in our first Rating Game and I will never discriminate against any of you. Your all part of my family and I will give it my all to protect it" Masaru said as he tenderly glanced at his official fiance's.

When the girls heard this all of them surrounding Masaru in a group hug which was naturally captured by several reporters that ended up as the front page of the newspaper.

>\/<

"You want us to ignore what he has done!? Even if he is your disciple this is too much!" The current head of the Astaroth Family was furious,

Ajuka gave him a single glance causing him to instantly shut up, "That you will because if you touch him I will remove you from the head position myself. You knew to leave that boy as Heir will being your family trouble but you even allowed him to brazenly spit on our Peace Alliance which meant you spit on me as well... Should I perhaps wipe Astaroth from existence? Losing one more pillar will not cause problems"

The surroundings were shivering in fear, this man was doting on his Disciple but everything he mentioned was within reason and he will do it since he was not kind like Sirzech and Serafall.

Ajuka gave the surroundings one last glance, "You will keep supporting Diodora and will not tell him I was here, you can follow the plan we drew up to the letter. If not, you best hope I don't find you since I am in need of some specimens for new research"

Hearing this was even worse than hearing the house would be removed, everyone nodding their heads seriously watching Ajuka leave.

"Lord Astaroth I would suggest we do not test this man's patience... He will destroy us all even though we are his family" The other elders agreed thus it was secretly processed that Diodora was not an Heir officially but did not announce this to public at all.

>\/<

a Day has passed and Masaru was currently sitting in a secret meeting room facing Shalba and Diodora, on the surface it appears Shalba was angry at Masaru but he was secretly rejoicing as Diodora immediately agreed to sacrifice Asia since Shalba already convinced him that he will not be able to get Asia so he might as well kill him.

"You bastard! You used me as a stepping stone to propose to your girls!?" Diodora screamed at him with rage, he felt humiliated and now he was looking at Masaru who did not seem to care what he did.

Masaru nodded with a stoic Face "Yes, I already told Shalba why I decided to thoroughly defeat you which was because of a personal grudge and besides, you needed to be taught a lesson that you need to know your place"

"You----" Diodora gritted his teeth.

Shalba tapped his shoulder causing Diodora to snort before leaving the room with only Shalba, Creserey and Masaru. "I have already secured the assistance of the Hero Faction to help us with a plan, they managed to get information about this "Reverse" Grigori made and intends to use it on that hateful woman's bishop by reversing the Healing effect while boosting its power to several folds"

Masaru thought for a moment since countering Reverse is not so difficult, he was more concerned of something else "Are you certain you can trust Cao Cao? That man appears like he won't hesitate to use you as a guinea pig for an experiment"

Shalba did not get angry as he too knew of that man's personality, he nodded "We have what he wants so he will naturally assist us completely, so the time we will attack will be when Diodora has his match with that woman. We will infiltrate and make changes to the Rating Game settings then Ambush them since Ajuka is dead the management around the Rating Game became sloppy. As for you, I would like you to remain at the side of the Devil Kings, once we strike we will create an opening for you to kill Sirzech"

Masaru nodded to confirm he received his order. Once the meeting was over, Masaru teleported back home. When he confirmed it was safe he immediately teleported once again.

>\/<

Masaru entered a room where the Shinto Chief God, Amaterasu was sitting with Odin next to her. She had black long hair hanging loosely with a golden crown on top of her head, wearing white and red Miko outfit.

Azazel was there along with Baraqiel, Michael came alone while Sirzech was together with Ajuka, Falbium and Serafall. When Amaterasu looked at Masaru she was quite angry "So you're the one who caused that massive commotion back at the shrine?"

Masaru bowed politely, and approached her honestly "Yes, I apologize for the method I used but I still believed I used was lighter compared to what they originally wanted me to do"

Amaterasu looked at the boy then locked gazes with him, after her many years of experience she knew this boy was not lying but to think they would scheme and make use of the enemy to have her understand the kind of situation she was in did not make her feel happy at all. "I will let this go since you did not go too overboard, but I hope that you will count this as you owe me a favour"

Masaru smiled nodding his head, Amaterasu felt this boy was reasonable and knew when to take responsibility even if it was for the greater good. "Now then, since you came here while we were talking I suppose you have some information?" Sirzech spoke.

Masaru nodded, he began to report the next movement of the Devils, how Shalba intends to use Rias, Asia and Diodora. Sirzech who heard this felt his anger was growing too rapidly recently at how these people kept scheming against his sister.

"Also I would like to bring it under your attention Qlippoth I told you I was investigating, I found no information but I am certain they are bound to make some movements since the Hero Faction will be joining in this endeavour as well" Masaru speculated since he is really desperate to find out just who was the leader of Qlippoth.

"You're quite capable, how about becoming mine?" Amaterasu asked since she wanted to test this boy.

Masaru politely bowed, "I apologize but I am engaged with my peerage girls and Miss Sona Sitri, I love them and will not betray them"

Amaterasu nodded feeling she could trust this boy who was loyal to his girls, such a man is worth trying to trust once "You passed, since that is the case I have a mission for you, in a few months some gods in China will try to make use of Khaos Brigade's name to cause trouble with us. I would like you to investigate it for me, consider this as repayment for what you did"

Masaru thought for a moment, then nodded to agree. He had not gone to China yet, so he wanted to see what kind of supernaturals were in that country. The reason behind his agreement as he too had to cause some chaos to bring the righteous factions of China to join the Peace Alliance.

"Well although you should have asked us first since we caused some trouble I accept it as well" Sirzech originally wanted to reject but agreed since he too knew of the incident Masaru caused and it was their orders, he would at least take responsibility for it. Amaterasu wanted to continue but then Rossweisse came into the room.

"Lord Odin, Loki has escaped so he will definitely make trouble for you to prevent Norse for signing an alliance with the gods of Japan!" Rossweisee reported

Masaru smirked, "I have a plan, we might have to ask Chief God Odin and Chief God Amaterasu to wait a moment"

Masaru began to share his plan with Odin by having him go around Japan in a few months as a "Vacation" while openly declaring he will sign a peace alliance within Asgard to pull out the traitors since their pride will not allow him to succeed. "Hoho, your quite ruthless boy" Odin laughed as he approved of this plan as a God of War.

Masaru laughed, "I am quite used to how people of Khaos Brigade move, since we are dealing with a famous God we need a reason to take them down or they will use this reason to stimulate a rebellion and other factions that are not yet part of the alliance will become vigilant towards us"

"As for the plan to deal with Shalba, Masaru I want you to act as my Bodyguard for that day" Sirzech spoke,

"The news of Ajuka needs to be under wraps so he can remain our trump card, I will have to ask Chief God Odin to appear at the location my Sister and her peerage will be teleported to. Your appearance will shock the opposition enough for you to deal with them, The rest of us will move to a separate viewing room while lowering the defence to allow them to infiltrate into our room" Sirzech continued to talk about the current plan that will be initiated when the Rating Game starts, Masaru's next opponent was Zelphydyr after he had his match with Sairaorg.

"Sensei, is the Astaroth Family fine?" Masaru spoke to Ajuka who smiled warmly at his Disciple, even if he knew he was right he still cared if Ajuka was fine with his family.

"No need to worry, I opened their eyes properly so they will not cause you any trouble," Ajuka said reassuringly.
