Haki Supreme King.
Masa knew that if this power wasn't there, it would be difficult to take away the Boosted Gear, as the Welsh Dragon, Ddraig, would go on a rampage, yet the Haki Supreme King allowed Masa to dominate the minds of those who were weaker than him.
Still, was he interested in the Boosted Gear?
Not really; Masa just wanted to do more research about it, wondering whether he could create an artifact-like item similar to Sacred Gears or even a Longinus in the future.
The next Masa would probably be living in a dangerous world where there would be many dangerous creatures, and using those creatures, this Masa might be able to create powerful artifact-like items like the Sacred Gear.
Still, at this moment, Masa just wanted to know whether he could extract or copy the power of the Boosted Gear like how he could copy the power of the Nemean Lion before him.
However, considering the nature of the House of Gremory, Masa knew that they wouldn't allow him to do that, so he just did it quietly.
What if he was found out?
Wasn't this the very reason why he showed his power?
By showing his power, he would show everyone he wasn't someone they should mess with.
Nevertheless, when the dust disappeared and he appeared, everyone could only watch his strong back in awe as his mane-like hair danced into the air, showing his regality and heroic figure as he defeated the monster that was about to ravage the Underworld.
Still, even if Masa's aura had slowly disappeared, no one dared to get close to him as his aura was too intense, except for two girls.
"Masa!"
"Masa-sama, are you okay?"
Ravel and Asia quickly came to Masa as they thought to heal him.
"Wait, don't come over. It's scorching here."
Masa quickly reminded the two, but unlike Asia, who had trouble with the heat, Ravel came from the House of Phenex, so she was fine with the heat and quickly let him drink a Phenex Tears.
"...I am okay, you know? The one who isn't hurt isn't me, after all. Also, could you stop looking at my tail? Don't touch it."
Noticing Ravel's gaze on his tail, Masa quickly moved his tail away.
The devil might have wings, but they had no tail, so when Ravel saw his feline-like tail, she wanted to rub it somehow.
"Why not?"
"It's pretty sensitive, okay?"
Masa felt a bit helpless since even if he appeared like this, this girl didn't care at all and didn't even show respect or awe toward his power, which made him speechless, but this was probably because of their long relationship as a childhood friend.
Still, Asia also quickly came after Masa pushed away all the heat and then used her Twilight Healing to heal Masa.
Masa didn't stop Asia and let her heal him even if he was okay.
"Are you okay, Masa-sama?"
"I am a bit tired."
"Then, you need to rest."
Masa made himself a little smaller since he had to say that his height had become so high after he had undergone this transformation.
Probably, among all the humanoid types of creatures, he was the tallest.
Ah, no, many reached three meters among the devils.
Nevertheless, even if Masa's fight caused a lot of destruction, it didn't destroy the buildings where everyone stayed, yet even so, all of them quickly came to him, watching his transformation curiously as it was their first time to see someone from the House of Vapula could do all of this.
Fear?
No one had ever seen such a thing before since all of the devils were excited when the young devil had become so strong without relying on the power of others.
Not only were his Demonic Energy and his physical abilities crazy, but it also made them wish to marry all the females within their families to Masa so he could give them his genes.
Some of the husbands even thought about sending their wives away so they could have powerful children.
This was the reality among the devils, and the strong would get everything, especially those with a high status like Masa.
Still, Sona and Sairaorg wanted to go after Masa, but they were all beaten up by Sirzech, who had moved faster.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Sirzech maintained his gentle smile and said, "That was a good performance, Masa-kun."
"Thank you?"
Masa had well hidden the fact that he had taken the Boosted Gear.
As for whether Issei was still alive or not after his Boosted Gear was taken, don't be kidding; naturally, this guy would be alive since he was the protagonist, which made him as durable as a cockroach.
Moreover, while Masa had said that the Sacred Gear worked like an organ within a human's body, in the end, it was an item, something from outside, so if he made a comparison, it would be like a ring for those who had heart disease. While it was dangerous and might even cause a death when it was pulled out, it didn't mean that one couldn't live without it, especially when their situation had become better.
As the protagonist, Masa knew that Issei would be okay somehow, yet Issei's future would be different since this guy definitely wouldn't be as lucky as before.
"That was amazing. What was that power, Masa-kun~?" Sirzech asked without hesitation, causing many to frown since this was a sensitive subject, yet no one stopped him from considering his position, and everyone was also curious. Still, the way he asked was like a child who was curious, so he didn't appear rude, but—
"It's a secret~!"
Masa also played along and made his answer relatively childish.
"...." Everyone.
Sirzech was speechless, but then he said, "But I never expected that your servant would have the power of healing." His eyes on Asia quickly changed, and then he asked, "Can you also use that power to heal the dragon user boy?"
Issei's state was just horrible; he was just a normal human in the past, and suddenly, all of a sudden, he used everything as his body was taken over by Ddraig and all the previous users of the Boosted Gear.
At that moment, it was already amazing that this guy could still breathe.
However, before Asia said anything, Masa stood in front of her and said, "I am sorry. She has been healing me previously, so her magic and life force have been consumed, or do you want me to force Asia to be sacrificed to help someone who wanted to destroy the Underworld, Sirzech-sama?"
"...you are right." Sirzech knew that he couldn't force Asia to heal Masa, especially after what Issei wanted to do to the Underworld. More importantly, as Masa had said before, Asia also appeared a little haggard as she was panicking and using everything she could to heal Masa, so if she had healed Issei, then she might have died.
"I didn't kill him, so if you act fast and bring him to the hospital, you should be able to heal him so he can be judged by everyone in the Underworld, or do you want to continue to talk with me here?"
Grayfia frowned when she heard Masa's words. If it was before, she would scold Masa for his insolence, but now?
Did she dare?
Previously, she would have done so, but this time, she didn't since she knew well after Masa showed his strength that it was impossible to treat him similarly to before.
Was it worth it to make someone like Masa the enemy of the House of Gremory for a pervert like Issei?
Naturally, no, but Grayfia knew that they had to save that pervert since Issei's strength was necessary for the House of Gremory.
Nevertheless, at this moment, the stage was for Sirzech and Masa; what about the rest?
No one had a place since their strength couldn't be compared to either.
"That's great then." Sirzech nodded softly and said, "Thank you for giving him mercy. I will help my sister to educate him more. Right, Rias?"
"Ah, yes, Onii-sama." Rias could only lower her head since she knew what kind of a mess that she had made.
"By the way, Masa-kun, I have heard that you don't have a fiancee, right?"
'Don't tell me...'
Everyone somehow had a gut feeling about what Sirzech planned to do, and Masa also looked at this unbelievably, but he nodded. "Yes."
"That isn't good, is it? As a devil, you should know that our number is low, and as a noble, you have a duty to create the next generation, so..." Sirzech showed a similar gentle smile and asked, "What do you think of my little sister? Will you take her as your wife?"
"....."
Masa was in a daze, never expecting this guy to say those words, and when he looked at Rias instead of hatred, she looked at him shyly before she lowered her head with a blush.
Yet, while many said that Sirzech was shameless, no one could say anything since this guy had the power to do whatever he wanted at a whim.
Masa's power was obvious, and all, including his children, must have inherited his ability, which allowed him to transform themselves. More importantly, he had noble blood, and his family was affluent.
So, how could they not be tempted to send their female relative to him?
Yet, there was no doubt that it brought a crisis and panic to those who were close to him.
Naturally, those from the House of Phenex had their faces turned ugly, never expecting Sirzech to do this, yet what could they do except endure their anger?
Everyone knew that if Masa wished to, he could marry anyone he wished to be, yet he had never said anything, remaining in silence, even if he was clear about the feelings of the girls.
So, was it due to this?
In his eyes, were interests something that he could see?
Yet, when everyone was anxious, Masa said, "I am sorry, but I am in love with someone else."
"..." Rias.
"Really? Then, why didn't you make her your fiancee? Is your partner not a pure-blood devil? While I know that love is important, you shouldn't forget your duty, Masa-kun.
As Sirzech said this, he couldn't help but glance at Asia, the nun who was picked up by Masa from the human world and became his only peerage member.
If there was someone that Masa loved, it should be this girl who had made him make a move for the first time, even if many had tried to seduce him in the past.
Nevertheless, Masa didn't get angry since he knew that this was just a tiny harassment attempt by the loser.
In the supernatural world, only strength mattered.
So what if you have your status?
If you die, then everything is worthless.
So—
As Masa made up his mind, everyone could only wait for his answer, waiting for him, believing in him.
At that moment, Sona felt his eyes were on her, which made her heart that was so stuffy before filled with expectation, yet—
"I am sorry, Asia."
"It's fine, Masa-sama. I am happy as long as I can be with you."
As long as she could stay by Masa's side, she was happy, even if she knew she couldn't be his official wife.
Yes, if there was one woman that Masa could choose as his wife, then it would be only one girl.
The one who had stayed by his side from childhood never strayed and always been with him.
While some parts of her were a bit annoying, Masa knew that he was the one who always took advantage of her kindness, and for someone who had entrusted her heart to him, he wouldn't betray her, so—
Ravel noticed him, who was looking at her softly yet with a determined expression, which made her heart race and a certain expectation born within her heart.
"I should have said this before, so I can claim you from anyone."
Masa looked at Ravel and said firmly, "Ravel Phenex, will you be my wife?"
At that moment, as those words fell, Ravel's eyes filled with tears, and her smile bloomed like the most beautiful flower.
"Um, I will, Masa."
Her feelings were overflowing, and they couldn't be contained. She clung to him and kissed his lips.
Masa also had no fear anymore, and he could express his feelings, claiming this girl only for himself.
---
Now, there is no cliff.
By the way, the fourth Masa will appear soon.
Please look forward to it.
As for Masa DxD's fiancee, it is good, right?
