As Yuki was having a confrontation with the empress of the Sorcerer's dynasty Sarion. Yurei on the other hand was about to finish his assigned mission…
He carefully followed the people from the kingdom of Doran that almost appeared to be fleeing for their lives from how they hurried to leave the auction house, and currently they were all riding on carriages or horses, and driving at their top speed back to their kingdom.
Inside one of the carriages, the minister from Doran was holding the box that contained the clarity stone close to his chest to protect it. And everyone else had the same mentality as they rushed at top speed back to their kingdom while surrounding the carriage with this rare treasure in the middle in a protective formation…
Yurei who was latching under this same main carriage started contemplating…'According to what I know about Yuki, he'd rather I do it sneakily to avoid future trouble… no, he probably would also love if I bring with me additional rewards as well and leave them completely naked if possible…'
Indeed, Yuki's greed was deeply ingrained into this innocent ghost… 'Let's do It as an accident then' he thought before he used his telekinesis skill to break the wheel of the carriage ahead of them which created a terrifying reaction as a huge crash instantly happened
"Careful…" Yelled some of the guards but it was too late as Yurei perfectly manipulated the situation to maximize the chaos before he sneakily picked up a random stone and approached the flipped-up carriage with the minister inside of it…
He was a B rank in strength, but he was still taken by surprise from the sudden crash and ended up losing hold of the box that contained the clarity stone… But it was tightly shut so he wasn't too worried about it…
"Where's it? where's it?" said the minister hurriedly, but he soon caught sight of the box on the ground near him and quickly picked it up and left the destroyed carriage while heaving a sigh of relief… However, he would never expect that a certain ghost had just replaced the treasure inside the box with a normal stone…
And that wasn't all because he also stole a few boxes of gold from the other carriages before he vanished underground without anyone detecting his presence from start to finish…
….
A little bit away from the chaos he caused, Yuki stared at the three boxes filled with gold in front of him and muttered "Tch, Yuki we've made it rich, you're going to be proud of me!" thought the 16 years old Yurei happily before he suddenly felt Yuki communicating with him through their link and immediately hid the gold boxes and only took with him the stone of clarity before he teleported back to Yuki using his new skill Loyal!

Meanwhile, back at the auction house, the guards were disgusted by the look on Yuki's face as he was eyeing Elmesia like a prey, and even Hinata inched slightly away from him as they heard Elmesia say
"Hinata-san, are you siding with this kind of trash?" questioned Elmesia but Hinata only stared at her coldly and said "I'm just enjoying the show" which made Elmesia frown…
"Can we solve this peacefully?" Asked Yuki with a weird smile, but he only received an earth bullet as a response which he tilted his head to dodge
"That's not nice" said Yuki before he picked a broken piece of the reinforced glass and shot it at the elf that just attacked him impaling him in the process but he didn't target a fatal area yet…
"Kill" yelled the guard leader as they all started chanting all kinds of high-level spells
"Oy, oy, you are going to hurt my dear servants, and if that happens, the scene will turn quite bloody" said Yuki as an eerie aura gushed out from him, but he only received a snort from Elmesia in return and the guard continued their chanting…
"So be it then" muttered Yuki as Yurei suddenly appeared behind him and Yuki calmly said to him "Protect them for me buddy"
"Yes sir" Yurei made a military salute before he stepped in front of the nervous Sacha and Kayle, and Kayle couldn't help but ask
"Aren't you worried about your lord?"
"Worried? Hahahahaha" His laugh echoed despite the chaotic auction full of mockery before he said "Believe me, I feel pity for those who oppose Yuki… No matter hero or demon, monster or beast… They all regret it in the end!"
Kayle's heart shook slightly since he could see the absolute confidence in Yurei's eerie blue eyes, and Hinata was the same after sensing that he was telling the truth and couldn't help but stare at Yuki curiously only to see him take out a pitch-black sword from out of nowhere with red lines running through it like veins…
"Are you hungry?" Muttered Yuki and the sword responded by vibrating slightly and Yuki smirked slightly as he heard the captain of the elves yell…
"RELEASE"
Countless spells rained on Yuki… Magic missiles, great fireballs, wind blades, light rays and so on… and yet, a barrier appeared in front of Yuki as Yurei raised his hand slowly…
BOOOOOM
Huge dust clouds rose in the air blocking the vision for the people who already retreated to a safe distance to watch the show…
"He should be dead right?"
"Indeed, that combined attack could even kill an A Rank"
The people were confident that the fight was over which made them disappointed, but the dust slowly settled and to their shock, Yuki stood there unharmed with his sword still in his hand and a smirk on his face…
"Hmm not bad Yurei" muttered Yuki to the shock of the crowd before he raised his free hand and said "Frozen snare" instantly all the guards that were surrounding Yuki, as well as Elmesia, found themselves gripped with many Ice-cold hands that appeared from thin air and held them in place, they even froze their magicules and made it hard for them to use magic!
"What kind of skill is this?" Muttered Elmesia in shock since she couldn't even react before she found herself bound along with her subordinate and she immediately tried to break free by using her terrifying magic, but before she could, Yuki suddenly disappeared using quick step and reappeared behind her and tried to stab his sword right through her spine to immobilize her, but she dodged it at the last second using an instant teleport from one of her magic items…
This was a disaster level being, equal to the demon lords in strength, so she can't be underestimated…
"Oh, not bad…" Said Yuki with a smirk as he used magic sense to locate where Elmesia reappeared and she was already conjuring a destructive spell to attack him, although not too destructive since she can't risk harming the other people present…
"Die" She said but before just as she threw the recently conjured Ice Lance at him. Yuki simply grinned and grabbed a guard near him and threw him at the lance without any care which made Elmesia blurt out "You bastard" before she manipulated the lance to change its directions while Yuki used this distraction to get rid of the rest of the guards…
As all of this was happening, the rest of the people watched with wide-open mouths, but no one interfered yet since Yuki was clearly not killing any of the guards, and after he got rid of all of them. He immediately rushed at Elmesia with his sword in hand…
"As I said, attacking my servants will have blood spilled as a consequent" said Yuki with an eerie tone as he approached Elmesia who attacked him with tens of spells but Yuki easily dodged everything since they were all single target spells and slowly closed the distance on Elmesia and sent her flying with a kick smashing her into a wall…
But she quickly rose from the rubble as she actually created a barrier to cover herself at the last second
"Oh, not bad, your reaction speed is quite terrifying" said Yuki as he approached her again, and this time he was prepared to attack with his sword!
Countless clashes occurred in mere seconds between the two of them, although Elmesia was simply thrashed around by Yuki since she can only defend in this situation without the ability to use her most powerful spells…
"Damn you I…" She tried to say something but Yuki instantly cut her off with a slap that echoed throughout the sorcerer's dynasty of Sarion…
The auction house fell silent, and you could only hear the people gulping nervously at what kind of guts Yuki had… At this point, it was official that there was no escape for him from Sarion…
Elmesia was also shocked by what just happened as some blood dripped from her mouth, but before she could gather her thoughts, another tight slap landed on her other cheeks making her slightly dizzy…
"H-How dare you harm her highness, guards assist her highness quickly!" Yelled someone fro another country who was horny for the beautiful Elmesia and was courting her for years to no avail…
'What a simp' thought Yuki before he turned around and said to the crowd "Everyone, please beware, my hands tend to slip when I hold a sword and I might end up killing you if you get near me…"
The crowd was left speechless at such a proclamation while only Yurei took these words seriously as his face turned serious and said "Oh my god, this is the legendary slipping knife style Ashiya talked about?"
"Slipping what style?" Hinata stared at him with a ridiculous look on her face and so did anyone that heard him, but Yurei only stared at them like idiots before he shook his head and thought 'Unwise fools…'
Meanwhile, many people didn't heed Yuki's warning and ended up smashing into walls or gaining new holes in their bodies, while Elmesia tried to blink again but Yuki's hand suddenly moved at lighting speed and removed any items that held any traces of magic he could find on her and stored them inside his space ring…
"Now then, as a mage, you are trash in such a close distance, you won't have any chance to cast any strong spells, and even if you can insta cast weak spell, they are useless against me" said Yuki with a smug look on his face but Elmesia suddenly shot him a rage filled look as she said
"Are you sure?" As she thought 'Unique skill Multiple casting! And immediately attacked Yuki with hundreds of fireballs that accumulated into a terrifying inferno!
She wasn't a +2000 Years old disaster-level threat for nothing!
"He must be dead now right?" said the simp that tried to help Elmesia after standing from the rubble created after he was hit by one of his subordinates getting launched at him by Yuki… And most of the people in the auction shared the same sentiment with him
But only Elmesia knew that the hand that was holding her by the neck surprisingly didn't budge at all despite the raging inferno and she finally begin to feel terror rising inside her heart…
