Chapter 66: Completion of a promise
Bang!
Masaru dodges a punch that destroyed the rock behind him at the last moment, gripping the wrist with his left while pushing the stomach of the opponent front upwards behind throwing him into the ground.
Sairaorg who was currently in the air felt excited with today's spar as he twists his body to escape from Masaru's throw landing among the rubble of the destroyed rock.
"You have become even stronger than before" Sairaorg commented but Masaru shook his head.
"I did not, I have been practising control over my body. I wish to achieve complete control over every single muscle so I can exert my full strength without wasting my stamina with useless movements" Masaru explained.
It's the second day he had been stuck in the Bael Territory ever since he arrived in the underworld for the vacation, when he came to visit the first day just as he expected Sairaorg dragged him into his madman training regime to which Masaru was not an entire fan of but he too wanted to train his control and having an opponent like Sairaorg would be excellent.
"Control huh?" Sairaorg squinted his eyes thinking carefully about this, Masaru nodded while pointing at him
"Your punches and kicks are strong, but the moment you remove those restrictions and gravity which you use to train your body then the control over your body will decline... Because your strenght is too much for you to control"
Using radical movements while operating his Ki to enhance his speed Masaru left several afterimages while casting illusion magic which did not affect the mind nor the eyes but instead it lengthened the time the afterimages left by Masaru's speed to remain in place.
"It's quite fascinating to use magic like this" Hearing Sairaorg's envy Masaru chuckled.
"You can use it as well... Just because you don't have destruction does not mean you can't recreate it through magic" Masaru naturally knew Sairaorg had energy within him, he simply did not inherit the Destruction attribute.
Sairaorg snorted and send out a punch which released shockwaves destroying the after mages, but Masaru used trackless steps with his increased speed to enter a close range from the front of Sairaorg who noticed him and the two fists met one another.
The ground beneath them began to give in forming a small crater from the force of their punches, "You can use magic but you don't... Because you want to show them right? Those children who cave in to the pressure of the high-class nobles without firmly believing in themselves"
"It's my dream after all!" Sairoarg releases a kick which Masaru blocked and used the force of the kick to slide away from Sairaorg as he knew the next punch would be more serious, he rolled on the ground two times to kill off some of the kinetic force before entering a kneel stance looking at Sairaorg with a smile.
"Good dream it is... But" Masaru took a heavy step forward the moment he stood up and with the pressure, he kicked down he launched himself straight towards Sairaorg but soon two black holes appeared sending their stikes away from each other.
"You two! You just tried to kill one another!?" Hearing the angry voice both Sairaorg and Masaru who was so into their spar actually forgot that they began to get a bit too serious.
"So our fun has ended huh?" Masaru muttered regretfully looking at the Queen of Sairaorg's peerage, Kuisha Abaddon, blond hair in a ponytail style together with her blue eyes.
"Well, it really is a shame" Sairaorg agreed while dusting off his training track clothes.
"You two really!! Look at the area! How are you suppose we are to fix this"
Masaru looked at Sairaorg, "You got quite a queen, I feel jealous"
Sairaorg smirked "You have a Leviathan descendant as your queen not to mention she also have a Longinus holder at that... you really want to complain?"
Masaru rubbed his chin making a serious expression as if he was really considering Sairaorg's words "Now that you mentioned it, I really am lucky"
Kuisha who was completely ignored launched black holes to which Sairaorg punched out and Masaru countered them with pseudo black holes he made with space magic.
"Don't ignore me!" Seeing Kuisha was about to cry out in frustration, seeing this the two of them shrugged as they could no longer tease her.
"I guess we really went overboard, Sorry" Masaru apologized honestly while Sairaorg simply smiled because this kind of damage is common when he trains.
"Hmpf! I will let you off for Sairaorg-sama's sake"Kuisha glanced away from Masaru not daring to look into his eyes, she knew that Masaru knew of her feelings towards Sairaorg so it was complicated for her.
Masaru nudged Sairaorg, "Not that I want to get involved... But why not date your queen, She likes you"
Sairaorg looked at Kuisha who was walking away with a smile, "Maybe, but right now I simply want to reach out to my dreams"
Masaru tap the shoulder of his friend with a smile, "Well now the spar is out of the way I can get down to business with you since I did come here first thing after all"
"What would that be?" Masaru looked at him to see whether his friend would be determined.
"Do you want to awaken your mother?" Hearing this question Sairaorg was shaken but thanks to his training and strong will he could compose himself but his eyes were still shaken. "You mean..."
Masaru nodded with a confident smile, "I have a way, I experienced soul magic so I can temporarily link your soul with your mother since I have already nullified the chaotic elements within her body when I treated Ingvild. This magic is heavily depended on your emotions because it's not words you will be able to convey but emotions, do you think you're ready for that?"
Sairaorg said nothing but gripped Masaru's shoulders, his face was looking at the ground and a single teardrop crashed into the ground. Masaru knew this friend of his had many things to say and ask, the number of emotions this friend of his held was more than enough to attempt it.
The two of them said nothing and went ahead towards the Hospital in the Sitri Family's territory, even Sairaorg's peerages all dropped what they were busy with and came together with him.
"Are you certain this will work?" Kuisha was second to Sairaorg most affected by this news.
Masaru looked at the window while considering how he should answer the question, "Honestly if this doesn't work then we will be back by square one, I believe this magic I will use will depend on how strong Sairaorg's love is for his mother, the stronger it is the stronger the stimulation to his mother's soul thus producing feedback before she will naturally wake up... Quite similar to using a Ping Command on a computer"
The news of the attempt to awaken Misla Bael was curbed by the Sitri Family by only have their loyal nurses and Doctors be allowed in the hospital today, so when Masaru and Sairaorg with his peerage arrived they were not hindered with paperwork or anything.
They were directly led to a room where a beautiful woman was still peacefully sleeping. Sairaorg did not say anything the entire trip he simply went over to the lady's side and took her hand, the words to describe the way how he felt, how he hopes, everything was simply too much.
"I will start"
Masaru closed his eyes as he began to use his connection with the spellbook to convert his demonic energy into soul force which then moved towards the core of Sairaorg's soul and Misla's soul.
It was like a transparent tentacles expanding from Masaru's soul who was currently acting as the Hub for the soul to soul connection. Even Sairaorg who was not proficient in magic could feel the mysterious feeling from deep within his body and he too could feel his mother in another sense other than her hand he held.
Spreading his palms several magic circles materialized around the sleeping Misla before layering on top of each other forming the magic formation Masaru prepared for this instance.
"Soul connection!"
The moment Masaru muttered the spellword, the magic formation began to pulse of a faint glowing light as it began to link the souls of Sairaorg and Misla.
{Mother!}
Don! Don!
Masaru could feel Sairaorg's scream and his passionate feeling echoes like heartbeats, the soul connection from Sairairg was like swelling up balls with each beat sending from Sairaorg to Masaru and then to Misla.
{Mother! I have so much to say!}
Don! DON! Don!
The frequency of the strong emotions being sent from his even affected Masaru a bit as he could feel it, that deep sadness. It hurts, it really does feeling the painful feeling his friend endured for so long. He too began to wish for the mother to respond to her son's call.
{I want you to watch over me once more! Let's go home to our little home!}
Do-Don! DON! Do-Don! Don! DON!
The increase of emotion was slowly beginning to affect the opposite soul as Masaru could sense faint movements, he knew that something strong was needed he wanted to tell Sairaorg but the strong force he seeks was already on its way.
{MOTHER I WANT YOU LIVE IN OUR HOUSE LIKE WE USED TO!}
The force behind the emotions was enough to shatter the spiritual link the moment it finished passing through, Masaru being the hub and the one to maintain it felt the shock more clearly than anyone else. The shock was enough to drain him of his energy, making him collapse on the floor panting heavily.
Shortly movements of Misla's fingers were felt by Sairaorg, "Mother!"
He cried while calling out, she was moving! She moved again after so long so how could he remain calm? He kept screaming out for his mother till her eyelids slowly opened.
"Wh--" Misla who slept for so long felt like she had a long long dream was now looked at the face of her son who grown to be someone to be proud of. "Sairaorg?"
Masaru did not stay long in the room as he allowed Sairaorg and his peerage to spend some time with his mother.
Masaru, however, contacted Serafall, "Yo Levia Tan-tan"
"Ma-kun? Why have you contacted me?"
"No, just calling to say I have completed your request of me. So I don't need to be the villain of your tv show"
"Ma-kun! You dare take back your words!?"
"No, I only did what you asked me years ago... She is awake now you know"
"You----... You mean you have managed to pull it off?"
"Yes, she is awake now so please arrange some people to monitor her preferably trusted people. I will be hanging up now since I am tired... I need a vacation, maybe a hot spring---"
"Fine! I will allow you to visit one of our Hot springs"
"Thank you! As for the villian part, I was only joking teehee!"
"YOU!!!"
Masaru cancelled the communication and took a seat in the guest waiting room, the nurses who heard what happened came to thank Masaru who simply waved it off saying that it was Sairaorg's honest and passion-filled heart that saved his mother.
'With this, I can finally chill for this vacation' Masaru thought.
Shortly after his call Sairaorg appeared in the waiting room, there were a bit tear stains on his face but the smile he gave was quite amazingly full of even strong vigour. "Masaru, How can I ever repay you?"
"Your my friend and my rival in Rating Games, if I were to combat you I want you to fight me with everything you have the experience, your hard work to reach where you are, your love for your mother. Come at me with the body that is your pride, that's all I desire" Masaru tapped Sairaorg's shoulder causing the latter to laugh loudly.
"I really can't win against you here, but if that is what you desire you will get it. Then I will be able to give it my all, since this body is all I have" Masaru nodded with a smile but then turned serious,
"Only a few people know that your mother has awakened, if you require a safe place for her just contact my father since we have several safe houses where she can live and recuperate and once she is well enough we can arrange for her to get a decent paying job that is not difficult at all" Masaru gave an option for Sairaorg as he knew the situation within the Bael Family was not optimistic at all.
"Just how much in debt you want me with you!?" Sairaorg raised his voice unintentionally out of shock, this friend of his was simply too good for him that he felt that he did not deserve.
Masaru laughed it off with a happy mood, "There is no such thing as debts among friends"
Masaru and Sairaorg spoke a bit more which include the movement of his mother to the Belial Family territory since even Sairaorg could not entirely trust the Bael Family and the Sitri Family is weak compared to the Bael Family but can contend only because of their Devil King. With everything settled Masaru left Sairaorg to spend time with his mother.
>\/<
When Masaru arrived in front of his family Manor he noticed it was quiet today, he pushed the door open seeing the servants were still normally going about their task so Masaru went into the Lounge room seeing Damian is sitting quite relaxing on the chair.
"Oh, Masaru! You came home earlier than planned" Masaru relax in the seat next to Damian.
"Well, I managed to finish what I went out for earlier so I came back." Damian nodded while looking at the fireplace, "Good work, you have been active in quite a lot of places huh?"
"Although I honestly want to kick back and relax, surviving safely... I can't seem to help feel the urge to move when those creatures are involved" Damian who heard Masaru said did not rebuke him, nor scold him, he allowed Masaru to continue to speak his mind as it was a rare chance to hear what his great-grandson felt.
"Because I personally experienced the horror those creatures pose to our world I can't sit still and wait for them to appear, so I began to move to stop the operations in South Africa but never did I expect them to have a wider network in various countries opening up gates at the same time... That gate in Kyoto was incomplete..."
Hearing this Damian's face became serious, Masaru noticed this as well so he continued to explain why. "The reason I say incomplete is that the strongest monsters that came out of that gate were Ultimate ranks. Yet the creature which tried to possess my soul back in the Vatican on the aeroplane had capabilities of a Satan / God Rank back then, I was truly lucky that my spellbook managed to save me which is why I am so vigilant towards these creatures"
"Well we are back in square one already since we can't touch the witches in Greater Malling" Hearing what Damian just said caused Masaru to look at him with utter shock, Damian felt the same back then when he too heard this.
"Before the gates opened the Witches of the Greater Malling went and registered themselves with the Magician Associations and said they are not linked to the current events. They severed their links with witches around the world while obtaining the protection from the Association"
Masaru sink back into his couch, "Politics?"
"Politics" Damian nodded at Masaru's question.
Masaru looked at the fire thinking 'To think the witches would move in such an orderly fashion, if it succeeded then they can cancel the registration but if failed they have the giant Magician Association as their backer and shield... How troublesome'
"Oh by the way, that Sakura girl you picked up... Is just as scary as the rest of your girls" Damian spoke about his peerage all of the sudden, Masaru was quite surprised that his great-grandfather would say something like that. "Scary?"
Damian chuckled helplessly, "The girls under you with Diehauser's peerage guidance became abnormally strong, but that girl from yesterday when she sparred against Edward I dare say she is already close to Edward when it comes to technique only... But she starts to lose massively when the base specs of the body and powers are included"
Masaru smiled with pride, he knew this girl had a massive amount of potential like any of his girls that needed to bloom fully "Naturally, I sparred against her for three months to build her technique foundations while sharpening my own techniques after all..."
"We're home!" Diana called out from the door soon multiple footsteps could be heard approaching the lounge room.
When the girls saw Masaru they did not hurry but they all still surrounded him so he told them he succeeded which made them happy since Masaru was a bit worried about this spell since he used his experience with the Kissing Prayer as the foundation of the spell to create a soul to soul link.
"Where is my grandson!" Calfa came from behind and soon spotted Masaru pulling him into a hug "You found such a lovely granddaughter for me!!" Masaru knew Sakura's natural polite attitude would win points with his family so he was not worried at all.
"How was the trip?" Masaru asked the girls while he was in Calfa's embrace.
"Mother-in-law Diana has taught us quite a few things" Ingvild spoke vaguely since the location they went to for two days was meant to be a secret, seeing this Masaru was not bothered as he could more or less guess it was a secret among girls and not something a guy should recklessly charge into.
Otherwise, he would have already pushed for an answer if he knew it was something else, "Sakura-chan was also helpful" Diana added causing Sakura to blush while turning her face away.
When Masaru was released from his loving grandmother he thought of something and asked, "So since that is the case I will cook dinner for everyone as thanks for the support"
This earned quite a few yes in between the soft cheers so Masaru went into the kitchen together with the servants who assisted him in cutting and preparing the ingredients for tonight's dinner which naturally include grilled steak.
