How To Survive In The World DxD With Fragment Memories

The next destination was in Didsbury, a suburb of Manchester. A detached house in a wide, leafy street. A gate and a path led through a garden that was perfectly neat, with an array of spring flowers. Masaru raised the knocked on the door slamming it like he was at home, he naturally knew of this woman and did not care if he offended her, he was simply furious about this Nexus group playing heroes for Humans but the fools place all the burdens on five kids, Who right in their heads just leave it all on kids?

A minute later the door opened showing a thin, dark-haired woman who stood there, not looking at them but past them or more accurate she looked at Masaru's direction, her eyes covered by two circles of black glass. "It's been a few years since I saved you in the Vatican and never would I believe you are involved in this as well" Masaru spoke, Susan was shocked she recognize this voice and it was the same boy who saved her from that hell hole all those years ago, "Masaru?" "The one and only, can we come in... Think we found one of your kids"

"I'm not her son!" Matthew retorted, "Your name was not Steve?" Masaru smirked, "I am not the same as Matthew Freeman who got involved in this situation, I have been sent to investigate those people who want to use him instead" Richard felt like he was tricked by a boy which hurt his pride, but since they were going in the left the questions for later, "Why are you getting involved?" Susan asked as she walked in the front while holding Masaru's sleeve as an excuse to stick close to him, "I got involved when I saved you in the Vatican... You people sure know how to play heroes but making more trouble than it's worth"

One of the servants of the house went and brought a pot of tea with cups placing it on the table between the couches, soon Susan began talking with Richard and Matthew including about how Matthew fits in the story about the Old Ones but she kept her explanation short since there was another man who could answer their questions about Raven's Gate, Professor Sanjay Dravid who was currently in London. Masaru answered some of Richard's questions before he and Matthew went to relax in another room so Susan and Masaru could start their private conversation.

Susan is quiet, she could feel Masaru was angry at her and Nexus, "Do you think Nexus is a secret? If we can find it then others can too! Have you ever considered that there is a spy in your group?" Susan was shaken at this thought, "So I want you to tell me Susan, is there another gate apart of this Raven Gate which I do not know of?" Susan took a deep breath and began telling Masaru about the gate they located in Peru, Nazca lines. Masaru naturally knew of the Nazca lines especially how on a night all the stars link with the lines yet for a single star, he could naturally already guess how these people were planning to unlock that gate so he immediately sent a recording device to Ajuka through teleportation magic.

"Keep the discussion between the two of us a secret, like I said we are not certain if there is a spy and best we hope there isn't... I will have the people from my side prevent them from creating a fake artificial start and prevent them from unlocking the gate..." Susan nodded at Masaru's words, she was only a blind human so she could not do much but at least thanks to her years of experience she could sense no lies in Masaru's words which placed her at ease.

"You have done flirting?" Richard asked sarcastically, "I'm only 15 you know" Richard nodded, "Yep, that would be one ticket straight to jail for such a relationship" Masaru sighed, "I know you have many questions but for your own sake ignore it, my job is only to ensure the safety of the two of you and prevent Raven's Gate from opening but I need to have concrete information why Matthew is a required ingredient for their Ritual" Richard stood up getting ready to leave, "You mean that Witchery and stuff? Does it exist?" Masaru smirked, "That hound you saw that night, was that real?"

Hearing that question Richard shut up instead, that hideous dog was definitely not something that should exist in the world since the appointment time was late at night the three of them got in their car heading straight to London. Masaru had several theories on how they needed Matthew for their ritual, but then again he might have to let this boy get captured so he could lure all the fishes with a single bait. 'I will wait it out a bit more, the information I gathered so far about the Old Ones is quite intriguing' Masaru thought as he watches the city lights going on as the night came calling.

Their destination was the Natural History Museum in South Kensington, London which Professor Sanjay Dravid recently opened, when they arrived there was nothing new he told the three of them about the Old Ones. These were dark creatures who survived on human misery many many years ago before the bible even started, how they once wanted to rule the world. But like most fictional stories they were transported to another dimension by five children with supernatural powers. The Five, or the Gatekeepers, as they are also known, then built Raven's Gate to hold the evil creatures away.

According to Professor Sanjay Dravid, Mrs Deverill and the villagers of Lesser Malling are part of a group of witches who seek the return of the Old Ones by opening Raven's Gate using witchcraft. Masaru could agree with this point since it added to everything he found out by himself and the reports he read from the Pendragons, but then another finer detail was given. They intended to sacrifice Matthew in order to open the gate.

"This whole witch and stuff... It really is difficult to believe it all... But gatekeepers? He is but a boy!" Richard took Matthew's hand and started to leave, Masaru, however, was wondering for a while now why the room became cold all of the sudden, he felt some mana was gathering on the ground floor but from the feeling, it was death attribute 'Necromancer?' Masaru thought as he stood up walking out of the room ahead of everyone, on the ground floor is where all the dinosaur bones were pieced together and some were even hanging.

Masaru went down the stair feeling the death attribute mana being quite thick in the surroundings, there was even white fog covering the floor up to his knees. He looked left and then right yet he sees no one so he cast detection magic for both Life and Undead only to find two strong signature targets outside so he went outside in a hurry because of the result he gained from those detections... Old ones, he was certain they opened a smaller gate to allow weaker creatures to come into the human world as it happened back in Kyoto.

"S-re-So, y-gu-you're the one who kept getting in our way" a Bald middle-aged man who was waiting together with a beautiful young lady in the alleyway near the Museum spoke in a broken tone, Masaru was taken aback as he did not expect to meet intelligent creatures this soon. Masaru immediately summoned his sacred gear, [Don't call me! Don't CALL ME OUT!!! I don't want to touch those disgusting things... huh? You will take your grandpa's place? Your such a cute little grand daughter] Masaru felt quite annoyed at the exchange in the middle of the current situation but he still covered his fingers with liquid metal produced from his fingerless gloves turning them sharper and pointed.

"I smell our blood in your veins... why you oppose our king?" The lady spoke but Masaru did not hear any of it as he broke off in a sprint, he unsealed his strength and manipulated his KI cycles throughout his body in full throttle as he slams his fist into the old man's face launching him into the skies. Masaru ignored the lady next to him as he leapt into the air towards the old man. From the detection he knew this old man was similar to the first creature he fought back in the Vatican, it's super regeneration ability and that single-core that moves around within his body making it hard to kill him in one stroke.

The old man did not expect to be attacked so soon, while in mid-air he started to shred off some of his skin revealing his true purple skin that was underneath but much more bulkier than his original body was before. When he saw Masaru was already onto him he threw a right Jab at Masaru who used wind magic to spin himself dodging the attack while unleashing a jab of his own smashing the old man's face causing it to cave in, it did still for a moment before the old man was launched like a bullet breaking through wind barriers a few times before crash landing into the street.

Masaru already sent an SOS signal to Pendragons so they will be on their way so Masaru could focus on handling these two, the lady already ripped off most of her skin revealing a reptile skin and her face was still the same but she has a snake tongue which was long. "Hell no!" Masaru commented as he felt a bit grossed out because of the long tongue with that ugly face, the lady leapt towards Masary who materialized his five pairs of devil wings to keep himself in the air. "DIE!"

"No no! Keep those dirty hands away!" Masaru used wind magic to compress a very large volume of air into a tiny sphere in front of his hand smashing it into the face of the woman destroying her head in the process, luckily unlike that super regeneration creature this was only had strong defence on the body but the head was relatively weak. Thanks to Masaru being able to pump out more of his strength than before he found it easier to deal with these creatures.

The old man who saw his companion get killed so easily roared out of anger but he still felt a bit of fear towards this boy, they faced him several times already it form the looks of it the boy was becoming more and more proficient in killing them and their kind which should not continue. It cannot! While the old man was having such thoughts Masaru already used warp movement magic to traverse through space appearing behind the old man with a similar sphere but this sphere was different, instead of a regular air bomb Masaru compressed multiple air blades within this sphere which was the perfect technique for this regeneration monster to cut up the core in one go.

The old man only felt a cold hand slamming his back, it could be because of the body he possessed but his spinal cord snapped at the heavy blow of Masaru's palm strike before he felt something slicing everything within him to pieces till he exploded like a bloated balloon. Looking at the two bodies turning into Dust this confirmed that they were indeed creatures summoned from the Old One's dimension to posses Human bodies, but when Masaru turned to sense where Matthew was to see if they're fine he could not sense them at all. Not to mention Sanjay Dravid was dead, 'The Pendragons are not here yet!' He thought, he sensed the museum again but he could not pick up signs of Richard either, could it be the both of them got kidnapped while He was distracted by the creatures?

Masaru could not wait for them any longer so he teleported towards Lesser malling which required him to jump several teleportations before he could reach there as he wanted to check the road along the way to see if he could find Matthew's kidnappers, he was certain that it was Deverill since the woman detected his tracker and removed it from Matthew. "This is going to be a shitty night", Masaru finally arrived in Lesser Mailings however there were no signs of Matthew at all, even the power plant there was no activity. "I will camp the night here" Masaru spoke to himself as he flew the highest point of the power plant to sleep for the night as he was a tad bit tired from his confrontations, he felt better though, the fact he could feel his soul was close to completely healed.

It was late morning Matthew woke up in a wooden room after being captured by Deverill and Noah last night in the Museum, the last thing he remembered was Richard was buried among the rubble before he lost consciousness. But he had to get out, Matthew removed the mattress pulling off a piece of iron about 10 centimetres flattening one end, one by one Matthew started to pull off the nails out of the wooden floors so he could take out a plank each time. When it comes for lunch Matthew covered the hole he made in the floor with a mat to cover it, and when Noah left the room he continued his works and it was only later that night the hole was large enough for an ȧduŀt to fall down from the second floor crashing through the first floor into the ground floor.

When the time came Noah enters the room to take Matt to Mrs Deverill, Matthew taunts Noah to come and get him but did not take note of the mat so when he stepped on it he fell into the first floor with his sickle in his hand but the moment he crashed into the ground floor the sickle impaled his ċhėst and he died. With no time to waste Matthew ran out of the room not daring to waste time to check if Noah was dead or not, he immediately took off on the road running and running, the worst thing was the fact it was raining tonight so his clothes were stuck onto his body from being soaked in rain, luckily for him tonight there was no loop magic so he was still running but soon a car arrived next to him.

The car that arrived was a black sports car, jaguar made. "Good Heavens!" Michael Mars came out of the car helping Matthew into the car, while they were driving Matthew began telling everything that happened and Michael said that he would have the people investigate the power plant but then Matthew remembered Masaru's words and he was about to act but the smart old man already had a tazer knocking Matthew right out. Masaru who was standing and watching this entire scene playing out in front of him could finally sense Richard being inside the power plant and Matthew was coming, so he removed his disguise that the Pendragons gave him changing his clothes into villager attire.

Using Trackless steps Masaru merged within the crowds following them inside towards the reactor chamber, the reactor chamber was a great circle with silver walls and a domed ceiling at least thirty metres high. The floor was covered with black and white squares, and the roof was made of

steel, with red and blue gantries extending over each over like crosses high above the ground. On the second floor, there was the Observation Window that went around in a circle which was where Masaru was currently taking his seat among all the people, currently he was waiting for everyone to gather before he would start his attack in earnest.

Across the centre of the chamber two railway tracks ran parallel with each other and there was a

massive tower mounted on wheels so that it could move backwards and forwards. The tower dominated the chamber. For the moment, it was still. Masaru could see that Richard was being held captive but he had to wait for Matthew to be here and have them start to be sure that everyone involved was here. But luckily he did not have to wait that long....
