Chapter 006: The Illusion of Power

"Who are you brat? Where are you from?" A white beard man's said walking out through the broken wall. His keen gaze looked down at a enrage Ladros.

"Wait there old man it's too late to question me that. You should have asked before laying you hand on me. You are dead now!" Ladros pointed his ominous glare towards the middle age man.

The Guildmaster abruptly laughed at Ladros words. He was surprised of a small brat like Ladros would dare to talk to him in such a manner, when no one had the guts to stare into his eyes, this kid has. "You are brave or foolish to speak in such a manner towards me boy. You have no clue who you're talking to do you."

"Ladros, please stop this now!" Black yelled for Ladros to stopped his approach on the guildmaster.

"Huh, you're name is Ladros," The guildmaster muttered quietly.

"Kids this days have no respect for their elders. You're all think that you're highly strong than us elders. Now you'll find out what happens when someone like you ending up from waking me from my slumber." The guildmaster disappeared in front of Ladros eyes. He then should up behind him throwing fast punch, but his punch was stop by Vera, stopping it directly with one hand. Living everybody else shocked by her speed and how she could block one of the guildmaster punches, that no one can stop or survive it straightforward.

Vera gave a serious look at the guildmaster and said, "Master, please wait for a moment he just joined up with us his did not come here to start a fight."

"Hah, Vera. He should have just said. Alright, there are accepted to join. You can take care of the formalities of recruit him, I'm going back to my snap..no wait..I mean work." The guildmaster ran back silly upstairs to his office.

"Huh..!? What just happened?"

Everyone else were shocked and also surprised to see the guildmaster's sparing someone from disturbing his daily snap. They wondered was type of person Ladros. Because Ladros survived the guildmaster punch when othrs wouldn't survive a slap from him.

"Hey guys, from now on you're part off our family! Don't worry yourselves by thinking you're going to wash the dishes or clean the floors, that's done by others of our guildmembers," Vera excitedly smiled. She was very excited by having new recruits members for the Demon Slayer Guild. Due to the Demon Slayer Guild's being a well known guild many refuse to join up with it because usually powerful figures join up with the guild.

"What just happened? Huh?"

"Yes!!"

Derek, Riley and Asrael approach the counter with faces filled with excitement receiving the good news. Sonia couldn't contain her joy she jumped around and yelled out loud, Black nodded his head and smiled keeping his expression cool, and Ladros gasped rolling back with an care it, he murmured quietly, "Who cares about this, this isn't the only guild around here. Losers!"

Vera said, asking, "Hey, I never got to ask for your names, so what are your name?"

Sonia announced her name first then, Derek, Asrael, Riley, Ladros and Black.

"Those are foreign names. Are you guys from the surrounding countries, so that means you're strong as well."

"Yeah that's right!" Sonia said pridefully. She then saw Asrael giving a weird look at Vera. What like he was familiar with her, wondering inside if Asrael knows Vera, but how? when there just arrived and it's their first time visit here the mortal realm. 'Has he come here before?' she asking herself.

"Very good to meet you all. I'm Vera, the bar taker here and friend advisor if you need a friend to have quick chat. I'm here for you, hah! I'm happy to have new rookies, it's has been long since we've had them."

"Maybe thats why you're talking this much,"Black said murmured.

"Hey Ladros, why were you about to fight the guildmaster? You know if you were to mess things up for us, Sonia would have killed you for real this time," Black stated with a hard tone. Ladros looked aside not caring with it, "One of this days you will regret trying to piss her off, she'll teach you a very good lesson, hah!"

"What are you smirking for, I don't care about her, and that old man who made me a fool by making me look weak in front of this people." Lados said.

"Don't think about it, Sonia won't forgive if you do anything stupid to ruin this for her, just put aside your ego and pride for her Ladros," Black said.

"Yeah, yeah! Alright!"

In the afternoon while the sunset on the east. Inside of the Demon Slayer Guild's in upstairs floor room, Black and the others were unpacking their begs.

"She told me that we could stay here inside until tomorrow we sign in," Black said with casually laugh.

"She a nice person," Sonia said with a smile.

"Yeah she is..."

"What was that Black? It seem like you're starting to like her," Sonia glare curiously.

"Hmm...?"

"No, I'm not...maybe she has fascinate somehow me," Black said, looking towards the far.

Meanwhile back in the demon realm, inside the Naberius mansion.

Klaus walked inside the kitchen, finding Lydia preparing tea. He slowly approach her side grabbing her slim elegant figure pulling her close, Lydia mouth was close to his own, staring a at her sweet peach lips moving upwards to her golden yellow eyes. He said, "Hey..."

"Hey..." Lydia replied, looking at Klaus.

"I've been looking for you beautiful," Klaus said pulling her closer and closer.

"You've find me, so what?" Lydia puffed her cute red cheeks turning her away her face. Klaus faintly smiled casually looked at Lydia breath taking beauty. His lips were placed closer, as he began kissing her lips. Lydia felt a sudden touch inside her heart, while they have been with each other for many centuries the love between them it become more and more flesh. If true loves were a real thing I'm sure there'll be one of them.

Moment later, Lydia brought tea for Klaus, who was casually sitting at the backyard reading the new paper. Lydia placed it the tea down and sat on his lap, kissing him.

"Hey, I haven't seen Black around the house, where is he?" Klaus asked.

Lydia casually replied, "Oh! I forgot to tell you. Him and his friends went to explore the mortal realm."

"What! He has gone where!!"

"To the mortal realm..."

"No, I heard you before."

"What's wrong with them going there?"

"First thing, he didn't ask for my permission to go, and second, the mortal realm has gotten more dangerous than it was before."

" He asked for my permission, and I said yes for him to go, what's wrong with that?"

"There's nothing wrong, but he should have asked for my permission ."

"So you're saying my permission that's matter if you don't agree with me, is that right." said Lydia.

Klaus saying, "No, you're misunderstanding my words. It's just that I had things to show him about controlling hellfire better."

"Oh that's bad, they already left the demon realm 3 days ago."

"They left after the festival day. What! That boy," Klaus said shocked.

"What are you worried about? He's old enough to walk his own path now, Klaus sir," Lydia said with a sarcastic voice.

Klaus nodded his head agreeing, and asked "It's nothing, you're right. But where is Issac?"

"Oh that one! He is at his friend house now."

"Uh, I guess my sons don't need me anymore, hhm!" Klaus yawn.

Lydia casually brushes his back and said, "You have me." Klaus and Lydia began laughing, and continued to romance each other.

It's morning in the mortal realm, the sun hasn't fully rised, but it light is still brighten the sky. Sparks of fire coming from the backyard of the guild house. They came from Black, who was training his new hellfire technique.

'How does he do it? But I've master the basic steps. What could I be missing? The technique<<Hellfire Burning-Prison Storm>> Father has never shown anyone how to use it only me, it's the only technique he had taught me. Wow I'm really pressure to learn it fast now I have to protect my friends, I hope <<Hellfire Burning-Prison Storm>> it strong enough to protect them all."

"Mmm...!! Hellfire Burning-Prison Storm!! Hhy aah!!" Black kept on firing <<Hellfire Burning-Prison Storm>> that many hours passed he wasn't close enough to master it.

He took a break on the grass. Casually blowing hellfire off his mouth. Watching him the guildmaster, he then walk towards him. "Huh! So your a demon," He said slowly approaching him, faintly smiling.

"Huh!...What...! What do you mean by that, I'm a ordinary person just like everyone else."

"The flames you wete using before, are called hellfire right."

Black looked at him with shock, he knows! Clearly he has see it before. He casually serious his face not showing his true expression.

"I've fought many opponents in my life but would not forget those flames. Hellfire it is used by the demon-wolves right. So that would make you a demon-wolf if I am right there."

'Hh..man, I'm find out now, how does this old man know so much about demon-wolves, who is he?'

"Don't worry, I won't slay you right," The guildmaster winked at Black, "But your face is kinda like the dem...." Before he could fininsh he was disturb by Vera, rushing towards them.

"Master, we have trouble. Were being attack."

"Is it them again?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Wow man, those foolish kids never learn their lessons."

"Master come on this isn't the time to talk about it, there destroying the guild hall. Hey handsome, ain't you going to join us."

"Nah, I think not," Black said refusing.

"Wow, a strong person like you refusing to fight, why?"

"It's better if the both of us go, he might end up killing them all."

"What!?"

"Nothing, let's go." Vera and the guildmaster ran inside, arrived in the guild hall. Four strange boys were firing attacks throughout the room destroy it. Their names were Paul, Ramos, Thomas and Kisame. They called themselves the four horsemen, who go around causing chaos by destroying guilds trying to prove to people that guilds are useless and people should put too much hopes on them protecting them, there're not superheroes.

"Hey you four there! Stop this now, or you're going to regret it," said Vera with a angry facial expression.

"You four don't seem to get the memo when I keep on beating you up, okay fine, I'm not going to go easy on you today you brought this on yourself. I'll beet the living hell out of you four." The guildmaster spoke with a hard and deep tone.

"Old man you're not going to beat us now, we have power magic with us now," The one who spoke was Ramos, who was arrogant and prideful. He had brown hair and dark brown eyes. He wore black jackets, black pants, and brown shoes. He had a tall stature of all the four , having a large masculine body also.

"Magic items level 5, sixteen gate open <<<Shinning Kingdom>>>"

Ramos fired light daggers surrounding the guildmaster in every direction. The guildmaster look up with out any hesitation dispelling all of them. Ramos fired non stop attacks at him, he was still shocked by how easily the guildmaster is dispelling, like there not even effecting him at all.

"How is this impossible, this old man is dispelling my attacks like it's nothing, how is that impossible."

"It is impossible! The magic you have gives you so much power. What level are you using , maybe the level you're using too low for him," said Paul. He had dark hair and brown eyes. He wore a white shirt with black lines all around, and blue pants. He was the leader of the group. He was quite handsome and intelligent also. He didn't have Ramos physic but he was quite fit also.

"I'm now using level 7." said Ramos.

"What! The old man is that strong, woww this is going to be hard than I thought," said Paul.

Exchanges were given on Vera side fight the other two, Thomas and Kisame. Thomas had blue hair and ocean blue eyes. He wore a blue jacket with a black shirt, and dark blue pants.

Kisame, he had black hair and dark brown eyes. He wore a samurai outfit, also carries a katana on his leftside of figure. Comparing him the the other three he didn't talk much, but do more actions. Between the four of them he was the most power of the four.

"How is this happening? This wasn't supposed to be this hard this time," Ramos murmured with a worried expression on his face. He was thinking that if the had any chance of beating the old man. He had used level 9 of his magic item, but it didn't scare the old man at all, he started to wonder if he should use the item in-full power, but it's risky if he uses it, it could end up killing him by do it. Magic item are weapons that have been manufactured using magic. The weapons comes in all size and shapes. Some are used to increase a user magic power by boosting the strength and spiritual power by double, causing them to surpass their limits. Some of the magic were built from the war 5 000 years ago. Mostly were used by humans, because humans had less chances of fight off demons back then. Manufactured by the famous blacksmith from the demon realm, Malak Naberius, a demon-wolf.
