"Alright, you ready?" Masaru looked towards Everest who appeared to be impatient, she looked at Masaru and simply nodded. Since this was her first real life and death combat her dragon aura was materializing around her body unconsciously because of her excitement, even Masaru was covering his body in Touki to increase his base specs. "Let's move"

Masaru cover Hrunting with a thick layer of Demonic Energy and swing down the sword destroying the front sections of the orphanage, among the rubble were dead devils and some priests. The problem was the surrounding reinforcements heard the explosion and were rushing towards him from all direction, Everest however sneaked behind the scene down the stairs revealed when Masaru destroyed a part of the Orphanage.

"It's a devil! You stupid priests go shoot your little holy pew pew!" One of the devils who identified Masaru's race immediately called out the priests following him from behind but did not forget to mock them as well. "Ptui! If it was not for our agreement I would have killed you right now" The leader of the Priest lead a small group of exorcist and priests ahead of the main group, Masaru who was standing in front of the destroyed Orphanage could only sigh thinking it will be a long night he will spent with this crazy dragon.

[HUMANS! DEVILS! BWAHAHAHA COME OFFER YOUR BLOOD FOR THIS ONE!!! Unlike those disgusting creatures I welcome your sacrifices to become blood stains for my blade anytime of the year!!! Just thinking of it makes me feel I was reaping their Virginity! (First Death for enemies)] "Shit you finally snapped!?" Masaru sprinted towards the first group of holy priests and exorcist, dodging holy arrows shot from the priests and the holy enchanted swords of the exorcist was easy but irritating as he could feel his body was shivering from the presence of holy element unlike when he use the spell book.

[Anyone would snap if their body was used to cut up disgusting creatures like that and then finally killing proper enemies... It's like a man who had sėx with a whore and a vɨrġɨn girl... It's simply incomparable!!] "You even thought of an example just how sick are you!?" [Honestly, I think my love for blood and battle made me enter a excited state. I can't help but scream I want more vɨrġɨns! (First Death for each enemy)]

Since Masaru was only stalling for time so Everest could find Shirone, He did not immediately take the priests and exorcist down it was only when their reinforcements was nearby when Masaru became serious beheading the priests and exorcist immediately to welcome his next set of enemies. [Hoh? So it was humans and now we got devils! Does some deity want me to really lose my mind from tasting such a great variety of blood!?] 'I better make note of this change of attitude during combat, it's truly a complete contrast to his calm side' Masaru thought while combating against the devils.

"Why are you attacking us!?" One of the team leaders of the Devils thought of distracting Masaru by talking with him, Masaru called out his spell book conjuring several magic circles of different elements launching bullets towards the devils. "You touched something which you should not have... So I will simply destroy your base here while taking it back" The devil was struck dumb at this man's arrogance, "You want to destroy our base!? You forgot this is the Church territory!?"

Masaru smirked as he impales the heart of a attacking Devil, "Ask that question again but this time to yourself... What race are you?" The devil who heard this was fuming with rage thinking this boy actually not shaken at all, but instead what the boy mentioned made him realized he too was in a unfavorable situation. "Call Dark Shadow! get him to deal with this brat!" The battle between the group of low to mid class devils and Masaru continued on.

"Someone is attacking the Orphanage..." Jeanne who was still chatting with Shirone felt Tremors from above, Shirone however smiled naturally since she could sense the Ki of her beloved onii-sama. Jeanne who saw this looked at Shirone "Shi-chan, could it be that brother of yours who was searching for me has arrived" Shirone nodded, "I am quite curious to meet this boy who would come all the way here for someone like me"

BANG! the door leading to the room broke apart as a dead corpse of a once living Priest crashed in the ground scaring the nearby children, later foot steps could be heard approaching the door. "Shirone-chan!" Everest called out since she was not afraid of these weak enemies she did not mind to attract them all together so she could simply slap them to death, "Everest I am over here" Everest who heard Shirone's voice rushed into the room and saw all the children inside, she spotted Shirone standing next to a blonde hair girl thinking about the reason they were here to begin with could be this girl.

"Shi-chan, who is this girl?" Shirone smiled "She is Everest, she is a rook like me and also Masaru-sama's peerage member" Jeanne made a OH face, "Shirone who is this girl?" Shirone turned towards Everest "She is the potential knight Master has been searching for, she is injured which is why I did not make any movements" Jeanne extend her hand towards Everest from her sitting position as she could not stand yet, Everest did not hesitate to shake her hand similar to Shirone she felt a bit irritation because of the holy element within the girl.

"Nice to meet you Eve-chan" Jeanne smiled brightly "Nice to meet you at last, Jeanne. Shirone we have to move fast, Masaru-sama has already contacted Diana-sama to rescue us----" BBBBAAAAAANGGG!!! a Enormous tremor akin to a earth quake shook the ground fiercely, sensing the enormous energy signature as well as the familiar presence Shirone and Everest flinched as they knew.... Diana has arrived and it appears she is pissed

>/<

a Man wearing a black dark plated hooded outfit which had some looks similar to a Death knight in the games was standing in front of Masaru, his name is Dark Shadow. a Fallen Angel Devil Hybrid who travels around the world while completing ȧssassination and mercenary contracts but only recently joined this organization that was standing against the formation of a alliance between the three largest factions. "Never would I ever thought I would called to deal with a brat like you"

Masaru smirked at the man who was looking at him condescendingly "You best be careful people who looked at me the way you do are all around me.... as corpses that is" Masaru provoked the man but Dark shadow did not move and simply felt amazed at this boy's calmness to slaughter so many people, thanks to his experience in first kill in the airplane Masaru already began to naturally build up resistance towards gore and bloody sights like these.

"It's a pity that a boy like you who seem to have quite the potential to become someone truly great in this world would die under my blade... Truly regrettable, how can fate be so cru-- Urg" Before the man could complete his speech Masaru already used ground shrink to instantly appear in front of him and slashed at him, Dark shadow raised his right hand blocking the sword strike with his gauntlet but he was not prepared to face the raw power strike Masaru unleashed which blasted him into the outer walls that marked the territory of the Orphanage.

"Talk less and fight..." Masaru sprinted towards Dark Shadow but more devils came in his path to stop him and create a openingly for Dark Shadow, Masaru naturally already prepared for such situation. Runes began to materialize on top of several coloured magic circles while Masaru was chanting on the move "Beachten Sie die vier Elemente, die die Natur stärken ... Feuer, Wasser, Wind und Erde ... Manifestieren und schlagen Sie meine Feinde. Vier-Elemente-Streik"

(Heed my call the four elements that empowers the nature. Fire, water, wind and earth. Manifest and strike my enemies. Four Element strike)

Before the devils could even think of striking they were forced to back off under the ȧssaults of a repeated magic bullet attack of four different elements from different directions, thanks to this Masaru was unhindered in his path but Dark Shadow was already prepared to face him as the hybrid revealed his two pairs of Devil / Fallen angel wings. "Hmpf! You caught me off guard but you won't be so lucky this time!"

Dark shadow pulled out his dual daggers from their sheath while taking a defensive stance, Masaru began to play several scenarios of possible movements this man would make during their exchange and chose his actions based on the tactic he chose. "Erde formt sich zu einem Speer und durchbohrt meinen Feind ... Erde neelde" (Earth Needle) Sharp needles made out of earth emerged from underneath Dark Shadow making him break his stance and retreated giving Masaru the time to strike but it was blocked once again by Dark shadow.

"I told you I will not fall for it again--- ugh! GWAAAAH!" When the blades connected Masaru immediately enchanted his legs with speed and strength before releasing the world of man top ten painful attack, Masaru kicked Dark shadow's crotch extremely hard since it was a area not plated properly the leather could not even absorb the shock and raw attack output of the kick. Dark shadow could swore he heard his nuts exploded as blood were dripping from his pants, he crashed into the ground feeling a kind of pain he never experienced in his entire life. Compared to gaining bruises or injuries from blades and punches this kick was in a realm far above all those.

He wanted to cry and scream, it was only thanks to his many years of experiencing pain that he could somehow endure it while standing up with great difficulty. "You bastard! That was completely dirty!!! Who uses such attacks on men!!" Masaru tilted his head "I only battle efficiently... Whether it;s dirty or not I don't care... Since this is a battle to the death I will opted for the most efficient way to deal with you"

"I'm going to kill you!!!" Dark shadow yelled as he began to move forward although it was noticeably slower compared to his initial speed, Masaru used ground shrink to appear behind him but Dark Shadow turned around in time but not fast enough to block Masaru from impaling his heart with his sword. "Gua!!" Dark Shadow coughed out blood while raising his dagger to strike Masaru in his attempt to mutual destruction, what Dark Shadow did not realize was there was a Devil approaching the two of them to interfere in hopes to save Dark Shadow which Masaru already took note of.

"Die Brat!!" Dark shadow yelled while striking down but the sword and the boy suddenly disappeared from his view and was replaced by a devil who was a subordinate of the one who hired him, Masaru used warp space magic this time to appear behind the devil and used his palm together with the wind element magic }Gale{ to launch the devil who had his sword pointed straight in the direction of Dark Shadow and launched him to strike Dark Shadow in a different location while Dark Shadow striked him with the daggers.

"You can die together with your ally instead" Masaru swing his sword in a crescent moon splattering the blood that was on it's surface onto the ground, the remaining devils backed away when they saw Dark Shadow was killed which made them realize this boy was far more dangerous than they initially believed and that made them fear the boy. 'MONSTER!!!' Was what all of them thought until their thoughts was disrupted by a massive explosion not far from here, BANG!!!! The ground quake as surrounding buildings began to collapse.

"Shit... Diana kaa-san!" Masaru turned to look at Diana who was currently combating against elite exorcist led by Vasco Strada himself, Masaru was about to move till he noticed the Devils already made a run for it and Everest together with Shirone and a Familiar blonde hair girl emerged from the stairs that led to the underground. "Onii-sama!" Shirone jumped into Masaru's embrace while he nodded towards Everest, he looked then at Jeanne "I am certain you have questions but there is not enough time... Do you wish to stay here and become prisoner to the Church once again or follow me?" Jeanne smirked "I will follow Shi-chan, whether I join you will depend on our talk later"

Masaru nodded and led the three girls towards the direction Diana was at, soon they met up with a Devil. "Masaru-kun!" Masaru who saw the queen of Jacob smiled as he waved at her, before he could say anything she immediately materialized a communication magic circle "Target acquired!" and teleported Masaru and the three girls away from this location.

>/<

"Never would I imagine that I will find Ultimate Rank Devils appearing in this area... What is your objective" Vasco Strada, the church's Ace was currently facing alone against Diana, Jacob and Edward. It was possible that Edward or Jacob could face him alone if they did not need to care about the surroundings but right now they were here only to rescue and leave.

"I am only here to pick up my son who got entangled in a battle with some stray devils here" Diana answered since she did not think it will be any problem to reveal this, maybe they can even form a truce for now. "You think we are so easily deceived by you devils!?" One of the exorcist yelled out, while the rest were joining in. Diana looked at Jacob's Queen who was a part of the guards Jacob was in charge of. "Go in the direction of Masaru, I sense he is coming. Once you got him report immediately, we will withdraw afterwards" "Yes Ma'm!"

The queen immediately disappeared in the direction Masaru and the three girls were approaching, the exorcist wanted to give chase but were stopped by Diana and the rest. Even Vasco could realize this entire time they have only been defending and not once used a large scale magic, 'Could it be they really are here to only pick up a family member? I read the report about the raids on Orphanages was done by a group of stray devils and exiled priests... Could it be about this' Before he could come to a conclusion he suddenly heard Diana shout.

"Plan A!" Immediately all the mages of the team immediately cast a sharp ray of light in the direction of Vasco and his team, when the light dispersed Diana and the rest were already gone. Vasco could naturally stop them but he did not because these people never battled them seriously and even took note of their surroundings, the exorcist and priests began to scream out insults towards the Devils that fled but he knew if they were serious then there would have been a catastrophic result.

>/<

"Ma-kun!" Diana stomped towards Masaru and gave him a loud resounding slap in the face, she was furious. "You promised! If things became dangerous you would leave! WHY! Why are you so reckless!" No one spoke out for Masaru, in fact everyone except for the three girls who came back with Masaru felt that they too wanted to beat up Masaru for making them worried.

Masaru said nothing till Diana stopped yelling awaiting his answer, so he began to explain the situation and how it turned into what it was. The information about the creatures he faced caused Diana's face to cramp up since not every devil was proficient in detection magic especially one that can be used to scan the body so facing creatures with no way to determine where the "core" was would become a hassle.

Diana hugged Masaru and cried while apologizing but Masaru held her firmly while rubbing her back, "You have the right to be angry Kaa-sama, I should have followed my instinct to escape immediately but I was in the end conceited and reckless.... I'm sorry" Masaru did not regret his actions but still felt apologetic to his adoptive mother who cared about him the most, even Diehauser was not notified about this situation just yet.

When everyone managed to calm down, they decided to teleport towards the Belial Manor, Shirone and Everest took Jeanne for a bath with the rest of the girls while Diehauser, Dominic, Damian, Diana, and those who participated in the battle gathered together to talk.

>/<

"It was indeed reckless of you Masaru, so I hope you will consider that slap a lesson... You should know Diana would be the last one to ever act that way, so you should understand just how much you worried her" Diehauser spoke to his son about his reckless actions first, Dominic however thought for a moment "Masaru did you record the scenes you witness with the Memory recorder Elizabeth created?" Masaru nodded "I have, here it is" Masaru placed the small device that operated with demonic energy to display a projection a memory recorded in it.

After watching the scenes Masaru experienced even Damian who was usually cheerful became serious, "I never saw such creatures before... Why have there been no sightings of such creatures?" Jacob thought for a moment and remembered something "I am not sure but Masaru, when you entered did it feel you enter a different dimension?" Masaru nodded "No wonder... If these creatures protect themselves with such isolation power then it is no wonder we never discovered them..."

"I believe we need to send this information to all four the Devil Kings immediately, if these kind of creatures attack the human world in earnest or even the Underworld it will be a harsh battle if we are unprepared" Edward voiced his suggestion, Diana nodded "I will personally report to Falbium-sama myself since I have contacts in the military so I will be able to make some movements there to prepare"

"I will inform the Bael Family, since we will require those old Devils to aid us in this battle" Jacob added, "I will then contact the heads of the other families on my part" Damian looked at the projection as if he was thinking about something which no one knew about. "Masaru, when will you be heading to Ajuka's laboratory?" Masaru shook his head "Not at least for a week, I need to talk with Jeanne I brought from the Human world to confirm whether she wish to join the peerage or not. Once that is resolved, I still need to write and compile a report before I head to his laboratory since he will look for a report with my thoughts after looking at this memory"

Diehauser nodded, "Keep the number of people you inform to a minimal and keep it only to the higher ranks, there is no need to spread chaos so the only people we will contact is the Bael Family Head, the four Devil Kings and the top rank Devil Families who hold the strongest military power"
