Ch 20

Fuyuki City, outside of Homurahara Academy, Night time

"Where's your servant?"

That's what Shinji asked the very moment he saw Soren.

"Caster is home, you don't need to worry"

Soren gave a smile as he said it which creeped Shinji a bit.

"Rider, Attack him if he started acting suspicious. Soren, whatever happens to you after you reach my home, it's not my fault. You can save my sister and leave if you managed to defeat my grandfather"

Shinji and Soren began their journey to his home but on the way, Soren stopped.

"I see, it's an ambush, what a boring tac-tic"

"Hu-" Before Shinji can respond to ask what Soren means, he was knocked out cold by Rider.

"I didn't expect you to be involved in this, Rider"

Soren said as he activated his | Gravity jail |.

Rider froze due to heavy gravity, and Assassin came out of her spot blitzing Soren.

Soren easily held her attack, his hands turned black as he held her attack.

He is momentarily stunned to see the beautiful face of Assassin.

Assassin using this time hit Soren in Abdomen but when she hit his stomach, she felt like she hit something immovable.

She used her [Imperial Previlige] to use a similar skill of Soren but couldn't find it in her skills which made her confused, still, she began to use a skill that has similar enhancing effects.

Soren realizing that he's about to be killed created a katana and channeled his haki through it.

"I want to see how OP Yamato can turn with Armament Haki"

Saying that Soren slashed in the air. Assassin felt pain in her shoulder and held on to it as blood dripped from it.

Soren once again slashed in the air, this time a cut formed on Assasssin's stomach.

As she knelt on a knee, Rider appeared from behind and kicked Soren into his stomach with her maximum strength.

Yet, she felt like she kicked an immovable object. Soren's eyes glowed red as Rider continued her attacks but he dodged them all.

Assassin also used her maximum to attack Soren as soon as Rider finished her attacks.

He used Conqueror's haki to knock down Rider and Assassin. However, they are heroic spirits for a reason, they can stand against it but it made them use their strength just to stand straight.

"Give up, you can't win against me" His eyes glowed, and gravitational pressure increased on Rider and Assassin who are already resisting the conquerer's Haki.

Soren pointed his katana toward the servants who can't even stand up against him.

He looked proudly at the two servants, he is obviously basking in the accomplishment of fighting the two servants. It's not really a fight, it's more of a one-sided attack.

"I'm so Overpow-"

Just as he proclaimed, Soren lost consciousness. A thick layer of water enveloped him rendering him immobile.

Cael's disguised figure appeared behind Soren.

'Nixie, make sure to hold him like that. He's too powerful to deal with, if you let him go, it's the end for us'

He gave a command to Nixie mentally and began healing Rider and Assassin.

"Rider, pick up Shinji and follow me to a place. Assassin, take rest for a while."

Rider asked, "What about saving Sakura?"

"We must deal with this threat first, he had a connection with his servant. Caster will come for this guy. So, first I have to show him why one doesn't show off their abilities in this world. I won't go back on my promise to you, you don't know how much you have helped me"

Rider picked up Shinji and they began to run towards a remote island outside of Japan.

'Just how much prana did this guy have, he's been using prana for so many hours and his concealment is powerful enough to escape my senses' Rider's observation made her both feared and relieved. Assassin's master is looking formidable and can save Sakura if she helped along.

"I will have to conduct some experiments on him, first let me transfer the command seals from Shinji to myself"

Cael used mental interference magecraft to transfer all of his command seals into his right hand.

After Cael officially became the master of Rider, he ordered Rider to send him back to Fuyuki.

Only he and Soren are left on the island. Assassin is taking rest in her spirit form.

Cael began his experiments with Soren, he did what every magus would to people like Soren who have uncanny abilities.

Defile their soul and body until they got everything they want by mutilating their body, searching their mind, and Experimenting with the soul.

If the truth of his magic circuits went out, Cael is sure he will be in place of Soren.

That's just how the magus world is.

After a few experiments, he learned some things like this Soren is ...

'He's just a hormonal teenager. He was barely 16 when he died and met this being called 'R.O.B' who granted him wishes. But, really? He wants a Harem in this world with all the female servants and other beautiful girls. I mean it's not a bad dream except he will be used for all his worth and he's naive to the point that he's believing that just every girl will fall in love with him due to reading too many fanfics'

'His wishes are just random, he got | Gravity jail |, All 3 Haki, and Arc of Embodiment. He's too naive, he could have made an immortal elixir or at least make an Immortal body for himself, and the number of potential things he could do and create can make him a God-like entity, hell he can create all the scared gears of DXD as basic but his focus is on something else, well it's his life so, I can't criticize his decisions'

'It's my luck that he's just a kid, if a mature adult had these abilities. I will be f*cked in so many ways'

After laughing it off, Cael's burning eyes of desire fell on Soren's eyes.

'I took the best decision by coming here, that Sacred gear is worth all this effort. The curse on Murasame is also another asset, I can recreate the effect into a rune. I may not be able to get his Haki and Arc of Embodiment but I will definitely take the | Gravity jail | for myself and the rest of the things available, Ugh! I can't control my excitement'

He checked for any 'trackers' or anything that R.O.B has installed on the sacred gear or Soren's body and soul but he didn't find any.

If there is, his [Origin Analysis] could not work on Soren.

Cael called his Homunculi for help and transferred the sacred gear from Soren's soul to his soul.

He expected rejection but it surprisingly integrated well into his body.

"As expected from a Sacred gear. If my research on the soul is deep enough, I could also take away his 'Arc of embodiment' and 'Haki', what a pity. Well, this is already a great treasure I obtained and for the last resource I can obtain"

Outside, Cael focused his gaze on a tree. His eyes glowed as the tree for crushed due to pressure.

Next, he focused on the next tree and it began to detach itself from the ground and flew.

"Not bad, From Soren's memory. This Sacred gear can control gravity in many other ways the more one trains with it. I will focus on this gear after I left this place"

Cael returned to the workshop and began to take some water out.

"After I extract all your Ethernano, I can use it for various things. Regrettably, I can't use you like a battery. Well, Beggars can't be choosers"

The final useful thing that's left on Soren's body is his Ethernano core and the Ethernano.

Soren didn't have magic circuits but his ethernano core is similar to the magical cores of the Age of Gods.

It's a legendary experiment material Cael can't come across in his lifetime.

He contained the Ethernano and the Ethernano core.

Cael extracted Soren's soul into a mystic code called 'human Potion'. He created it just for Soren.

It dissolved his soul into a liquid form, and Soren is trapped in that mystic code as a paralyzed spirit with a lost will. He's now just a soul with a 'Magic core' and 'memories' of a person called Soren.

"Even your body is useful, everything is so useful in you. I was initially angry when you reincarnated with cheats Soren but now, I'm glad you did"

Due to the 'death' of Soren, Caster died.

"Not like it matters, It's the best way I can deal with Scathach-Skadi. Seriously, How can a 'God' is allowed in this war as a caster? Whatever, One less servant from the six"

Cael transmuted Soren's body into Liquid metal.

"Now then, there are so many new ideas, so many new mystic codes to create"

***

In a traditional Japanese house.

Caster felt her connection with her master severed, however, she didn't feel any sadness or guilt. She's a Goddess and she only participated in this war due to her intriguing master.

"What a pity, I warned that young man, his lust will be the pathway to death, naivety is his downfall"

As she faded out of existence, she can only lament

"Sadly, I can't interfere with the souls of foreigners. I can't let you enter my domain, Soren, a man from another world. I hope you have reached the afterlife of wherever you are from"

If Soren heard this he would probably be shocked. It's not difficult to tell that Soren is a foreigner and not from this world.

Even a Magus can identify that Soren is not a human from Age of Man.

Yet,  Soren is not to be blamed, He's just a kid and he didn't think much about this world seeing it as a mere fantasy.

It led to his downfall.
