Expectations vs Reality

By using fusion on all the elemental essence in his core, Zoro is able to increase his stage by the number of elements he has! That means, from the fifth stage of the E rank, his strength had spiked into the eighth!

However, this demon was still stronger nonetheless.

Giro relentlessly swung his extra-curved scythe at the demon, not giving him any chance to cast a technique. he was forced to use his axe to defend and evade.

Zoro however, weaved multiple hand signs together and placed his palms on the ground, and multiple ice spikes protruded from the ground. This forced the demon to jump, but it also created space between him and the black cloaked demon, meaning they didn't have good teamwork. One of the ice spikes had even grazed the back of the black cloaked demon, causing a huge laceration!

The blue cloaked demon came close to the other one and began nervously apologizing. Because of the injury and their unstable states of mind, he was able to easily overpower them. He began by using lots of tendrils made out of the darkness element. They set up defensive walls but they were penetrated by the darkness tendrils! After a second the walls crumbled down, revealing a bloodied, perforated, miserable pair of cloaked demons.

"Haha! Why are you protecting those puny humans? Or are you perhaps,... Hisakos? Well, it doesn't matter either way. I'll make quick work of the two of you." The demon said and rushed towards the cloaked demons, slicing their heads off their bodies.

Well, that was the expectation...

Korewa genj- I mean, this is reality:

Suddenly, an invisible pressure descended on him, and he could feel as if he was near an incredibly powerful being, ready to reap the life out of him. The temperature of the air dropped massively, and he broke out in a cold sweat. The aura that descended on him was just too powerful for him to handle. he ended up bleeding from his eyes, nose, ears mouth and skin pores and fell onto his knees, still trying to resist the pressure.

Suddenly, he saw the headless body of the black cloaked demon point to its left using two fingers on its right hand which had been raised to be perpendicular to the ground.

As if this wasn't creepy enough, He saw the black cloaked demon standing about three metres from him! Meaning, the whole fight was an illusion, and he didn't even realize!

That meant that the illusion technique used on him was just too powerful!

Standing three metres away from him was the black cloaked demon, who swung his scythe from that distance, but somehow, his head was severed from his body, freeing him from the world of the living!

His head made an expression which said, 'How the actual f***?'

The humans had already made their ways towards the battle site ready for an exciting fight, only to see the most boring fight of their lives!

From their and Zoro's point of view, the black cloaked demon just looked at the other demon, and he began sweating, and then bled profusely from his eyes, nose, mouth, ears and skin pores. After that, he dropped dead after his head was severed from his head with and invisible sharp weapon!

What a scary figure! No one would want to fight against him! He didn't even move an inch, yet he had won the battle without even breaking a sweat!

"Showoff!" Tenebris said after a few minutes. By then, everyone had calmed down enough.

"How did y-" "Someone's coming." Jiro cut Zoro off quickly after he sensed the presence of someone powerful coming their way. The person had probably sensed Zoro's demonic aura.

Suddenly, their surroundings changed. They saw a vastness of pure white infront of them. Even the ground was white. Looking at it for a few seconds and you would go drowsy, feeling as if you had just stared into a white abyss.

"Let me fix your cloak here. They almost sensed us." Jiro said and waved his hand toward Zoro, but Zoro didn't feel any difference.

"What did you do? I can't feel anything different." "You can't feel the fourth dimension. No one but me can sense it. I used that to upgrade your cloak. Now when you wear it, no one can sense you if they don't have access to the fourth dimension." Jiro explained, leaving Zoro and the two humans baffled. This guy kept spewing unbelievable things with a nonchalant face like they were the commonest of things.

"Heey, you forgot someone." Tenebris said as if she were singing which prompted Jiro to add, "No one can sense you but I and Tenebris."

Immediately after he said that, before they could even ask any further questions, Jiro manifested the human form of Tenebris to them, which had her consciousness in it.

This was an idea Tenebris brought up. And lo and behold, implementing it was almost too easy. It took them a little over three seconds to complete the body, and after the body was ready, Tenebris just implanted her consciousness in it. It was a flawless success. It turns out his [Manifestation] ability was as overpowered and detailed as his status described.

This body was usually stored in Jiro's spacial space, which they were now in, to be used whenever she felt like it. Normally, living beings could not enter a spacial space, but in the fourth dimension was inconceivably stronger and unfathomable to the third, so this was possible.
