How To Survive In The World DxD With Fragment Memories

The witches cuffed Matthew onto a slab that looks similar to those kind of sacrificial tables the witches normally use to sacrifice a life in their ritual, Sir Michael Marsh reveals that he needs Matt's blood to complete the black magic ritual that will open Raven's Gate. Masaru however already moved killing every villager while casting water magic which he called Super Glue to stick the dead villager bodies up straight as if nothing happened while he was silently killing them, it was difficult to kill them so easily if he did not have Trackless steps to slip from the views of others around him.

Meanwhile Michale was about to stab the knife into Matthew, but then something incredible happened, the power Masaru sensed from Matthew activated as if the signs of Matthew's life being threatened caused it to awaken stopping the knife just in time. Masaru used the time the witches were distracted by this event killing the two women who held Richard before teleporting him straight back into his Flat where he left a note for him, "You bastard! I thought you were just a human!" Jessy spit as she screamed out of anger at Masaru who smirked

"AH sorry, you never asked me you know" Masaru's smile disappeared as he cast ground shrink earth magic to move swiftly towards Jessy giving her a slap with his hand covered with Touki launching her only to splash like a watermelon against the wall. "Damn, I forgot human bodies are weak if not trained" Masaru spoke absentmindedly, Matthew just got himself freed allowing Masaru to teleport him to Richard's flat as well. "So you came to stop us? BWAHAHAHAHAHA But it was too late!!!" Michael screamed like a madman as he saw a trail of blood on the blade that was Matthew's which was only a scratch, he took the knife and stabbed it into the ground.

Suddenly the power plant activated, everything that was outside the marked circle appears to be covered with radiation, illusory stone pillars were raising around the tower while the ground was shaking. Beneath his feet Masaru could see the many creatures on the other side of the world, his back was covered in sweat when he felt the pressure coming from a distinct creature that appeared to be more power than the rest, Masaru was not certain if he could compare it with Ophis but he felt there was no end to this creature's powers.

When the barrier weaken because of the knife that stabbed into the ground the king of the old ones which attracted Masaru's attention began smashing it's fist into the barrier cracking it with each strike, "Bwahahaha that's it! Come out! We can rule the world together GWAAA!!!!!" Michael who was spewing out a lot of nonsense got grabbed on by the King's massive hand gripping him tightly causing the poor old man to pop like a cracker. Masaru was about to move back but suddenly he felt a pulse within his body, the once silent spellbook was making its move pulling Masaru's conscious back into the space.

Masaru, or whatever was in control over the body of Masaru was looking at the King of Old ones with scorn as he spit "You pathetic dogs need to stay where you belong" Then Masaru forced the power plant to start overload before teleporting a few miles away covered in several layers of barriers as he watched the powerplant explode but it could be thanks to the portal that was open most of the explosion and radiation was suċkėd into together with the painful screams of the King who retreated thus resealing the gate again. When it was over Masaru or whoever is controlling him hovered above the power plant chanting an incomprehensible language while ancient runes began to materialize around him before it flew off in the location of the gate sealing it up permanently.

Meanwhile, Masaru was currently in the room he never once entered freely. The dark starry door of the spellbook, he was tempted many times to enter but because he was not certain if the book dėsɨrė to control him or if he could trust it, he simply felt the cons were more than the pros to enter but here he was standing in the dark starry room as if he was standing in space. In front of him was a beautiful silver-haired lady with a voluptuous body, wearing a white-dressed with sparkling gems embedded on her dress. Her eyes were silver as well which was currently looking at Masaru.

Masaru was not certain how to start the conversation, there was many things he wanted to ask, to say... But none made it to the tip of his tongue, the lady, however, walked closer but Masaru did not feel any ill intent in fact he felt familiar and close to this lady, he thought it was because of his link to the spellbook. "We meet at last, Masaru... My Son... My host... My..." Before she could complete her sentence Masaru stopped her, "What you mean your son? I am certain my mother is dead"

The lady nodded, "Yes, the artificial body I made in order to have you reborn in a stable world did die" Masaru took a step back feeling what he just heard right now was totally unexpected, but the lady continued, "Did you never question yourself Masaru? Your past life? Why is it you can't remember anything but your personality and fragment memories of this world?" Masaru naturally wondered about these things but since he was too focused on surviving and ensuring the safety of his own and those close to him he could only shove it to the back of his mind.

"I can't tell you about my origin as your too weak to know, honestly knowing it will only bring your more troubles than it is worth... But how we first met I can tell you" The lady smiled feeling the nostalgia as she began to tell the short meeting between her and Masaru.

This was his previous life Masaru Belial who was named Sonoda Yozo, he was 16 years old average young man who could be find anywhere studying in college. What made him different was his obsession researching history related to magic, whether it was mythology or simply folklore that the elder tells their children. He researched them all leaving no stone left untouched in hopes to seek it, the truth whether magic does exist in this high technological world.

Because of his obsession he never really took note of Relationships nor Social skills, he only socialized when he needed something whether it was to buy or getting information. Everything around him was simply his obsession for magic, it was no secret that he was quite severely scammed at times by people who sold him fake grimoires but those people did not end up any luckier since he gave them fake money notes too.

It was only when he came across an ancient script in a second-hand store which the owner was only keeping it because it looks mysterious, after three days and three nights of pestering the owner reluctantly agreed to sell this script to him. Naturally, Sonoda Yoza was ecstatic that he finally gained something that could be real this time, the problem was the fact that the language on the paper was something he had no idea of. Studying varies languages from Modern to the very oldest, it took Masaru three years to finally decipher the magic script which was simply a ritual which requires him to stab himself with a ceremonial knife while reading a specific line which he had no idea what it meant.

He did not immediately start but chose to sit back relaxing for three days before he chose to get all the required ingredients and knife for this ritual, because he was obsessed with magic the time he needed to conclude in trying this ceremony did not take long since he believed he could still save himself by simply calling the ambulance that will take no more than five minutes to reach him. It was late at night, Sonoda was surrounded by grounded power which was a mixture of several ingredients specified by the script, in front of him was the knife.

There was no candles, nothing. Sonoda took a deep breath before picking up the knife as he speaks the lines he should, oddly he felt he could grasp the meaning of the words but at the same time he could not. He could even feel his control over his body was fading as everything moves according to the script, it was then his personality split in two. One side wanted to continue while the other wanted to stop, the clash between the two was fierce as the ritual continued with the dagger moving closer and closer to his heart.

It was when the dagger pierced he hear the clash between the two personalities abruptly stopped the ritual...

>/<

"What happened afterwards?" Masaru felt it was unbelievable but he too knew the book had no reason to lie to him, "Well that ritual was an offering ritual to allow you to become my host, if the ritual succeed you would have wielded me like you did up till now but I could leave your soul any time I feel your not worthy... When your personalities clashed something absurd happened"

The lady smiled sadly, "Your soul ripped itself in two, you had the smaller part and ended up with me keeping you alive, luckily you did not keep your obsessive side since you are the part that wanted to stop the ritual, while the other soul who had the larger part had already reincarnated back in your previous world. Since that world does not use magic as you do here, his soul can recuperate slowly along with his life..." Masaru sat on the ground taking deep breathes while listening, "Since your soul was on the brink of drying I had to move you to another world as two of the same souls can't exist in the same plane, so I looked at the memories that were written in your soul and brought you to this world but then again we can't just occupy anybody that already has a soul... So I first created a artificial body for myself and by luck, I met your father"

"Since he had a strong bloodline and power I chose him to become your father, while we copulated I started creating a artificial soul to act in your place till you will someday awaken, yet two years after being born you still did not show any signs of awakening... So I was about to do something till we got attacked by Khaos Brigade, since I saw they had no intentions to kill you I allowed my artificial body to die and have them kidnap you while I work inside your soul to awaken you" Masaru had nothing to say, thinking you have a mother that is actually a spellbook? And she had sėx with your father just to create a body for you? And simply died because she wants to awaken his soul?

"Well the rest you can remember" Masaru looked at her, he wanted to question her but he knew it... She did not hold many emotions, "No I have emotions, towards you that is... Masaru because of the Ritual went wrong I am now bound to your soul... Meaning I live as long as you do, which is why I went this far to ensure you survive" Before Masaru could ask the lady already answered, "Yes, I love you as a mother does... But because nothing else other than your survival matters I can make choices like these"

"We met because of Fate, but your time to know of me has not yet come to Masaru... My child, I really want to tell you but... For now focus on growing stronger just as you have been and follow your heart, Mother only wants to see your smile" Masaru who heard this stood up, tears were running down his face, he felt hurt that his mother was a bit emotionless towards others but her love and warmth towards him penetrated his heart. The reason he could feel it was because the Spell Book was finally fully awakened, he could feel the knowledge contained in the book but he still needed to call it out to view it.

The lady walked closer embracing the crying Masaru, even her cold heart was hurting since she first gained her emotions from Masaru when they bounded so naturally the one she cared about the most was Masaru and Masaru cared very much about his mother although she was a book but he will get over that point after some time. But then he remembered "What about that Old Ones!?" The lady gently ċȧrėsses Masaru's head "I have already sealed up the gate so they will not be entering the world just yet, you can relax as your body is currently back in the farmhouse since we can't have the girls and your family lecture you about your recent adventure now can we" The lady smiled mischievously while sticking out her tongue, Masaru laughed feeling quite closer to her.

"Although I want to talk some more but time has come" She spoke a bit sadly while ċȧrėssing Masaru's cheek, he wanted to ask for more time but she shook her head. "Please be patient okay? Although Mommy can't talk but I will always be by your side and watch over you okay?" Masaru nodded while he could feel his vision turning dark.

When Masaru woke up he found himself in the familiar bedroom he once stayed in together with his foster parent Jessy, he only got dressed in clean clothes before teleporting himself towards Dover Castle where one of the many meeting points he agreed with Edward. When he appeared the staff that was here as a messenger did not flinch at Masaru's appearance but instead took out his mobile phone, it did not take that long before Edward together with an old lady with a young-looking face, lean moderate body, her hand holding a staff wearing a dark purple magician robe, the reason Masaru speculated her age to be old was the fact some of her mana was moving around her body similar to how Ki moves within the body to keep the vitality of her cells strong.

The other old man appears to look like a certain old man he once saw on the movie that likes to train young heroes on the movies, he was not certain who it was but it sure gave him such an impression. This man was on the side of the Magician, he had a broad sword on his back, his hair was still brown but showing signs of turning grey, bulky muscular body hidden beneath his white robes. "It has been a while" Edward spoke as friendly as he could, "You guys sure were slacking when I sent off that SoS signal" Masaru spoke feeling quite tired just from the idea of arguing with them makes him want to go home instead.

"Aiya, that really was a bad timing you see. We got attacked by a strange mixed race group of Fallen Angels, Devils and Exorcist, I think there was a vampire with them as well" Edward revealed the reason they could not immediately respond, "But we managed to clean up the mess that was caused by your fights but what the hell did you fight?" Masaru looked at them, "Those creatures that came from the gate... Two of them appeared in London so I killed them which is why there are no other signs than the black dust... As for the witches in Greater and Lesser Malling, their all dead and the gate is sealed" Masaru handed over a recording to them as proof.

"Do you need anything from us?" Masaru looked at Edward wondering why this old man asking him this, "Since you already gave me the sword I owed you one, as for the extra work it was something I was already doing myself so no need to concern yourself with it" Edward turned to the two older people who nodded at him before he took out something that looked like a scabbard. It is a luxurious piece of equipment made of gold and decorated with blue enamel, Masaru could even feel a strong presence of energy within that scabbard.

"We would like you to keep this scabbard for us and return it when you no longer need it" Hearing Edward's words Masaru was sceptical, he did not reach out but instead asked, "What is that and why would you want me to keep it?" Edward nodded feeling he passed the last one, "This is called Avalon, the Scabbard of the true Excalibur before it broke. This is the sacred object the mixed Race was trying to steal from our family but you should know although we are strong, we are not invincible so we needed to choose someone who can protect it for us and return it when it's safe"

"Your quite trusting me here, do you not fear I will keep it to myself for thousands of years waiting for you all to simply die out?" Edward laughed at Masaru's question, "The reason we gave it to you in the first place is that the Excalibur is broken and even if it gets fixed it will never be the same again... Avalon is a unique piece of equipment, unlike Excalibur that was gifted to King Arthur or Clarent that chose Arthur as the king of England... Avalon chooses a guardian which unfortunately our recent successor was not able to be" Masaru still did not move forward.

"Whether you will keep this Scabbard will depends on whether it will follow you or not" Masaru was thinking of not taking it but Drago interrupted [Boy activate your sacred gear and touch it] 'Why?' [Did you forget, your sacred gear chose you for two reasons you fool, because you had a strong dėsɨrė to protect plus you hold the dignity of a king] Masaru wasn't sure why this Dragon was quite interested in this scabbard but then again having something extra will never hurt even if he does not have a chance to use it now there might be a use for it in the future.

Masaru called out his sacred gear, his bȧrė hands was soon covered by a flash of light before it revealed his hands wearing fingerless gloves when the light dimmed. Edward and them were quite surprised as they did not expect the boy to have two sacred gear which was quite already broken in terms of cheat abilities. Masaru walked over towards the scabbard held in both hands of Edward touching the scabbard, similar to how he once felt the impression his sacred gear gave him so did this scabbard but this time it was a roar of a Tiger and a cheer of a man but giving a single impression...
