Chapter 6 - Chapter 006: The Illusion of Power

"Hah, who are you brat? Its exciting to know that there's someone else who can take my strength," The guildmaster faintly laughed, while casually blocking Ladros attacks.

Ladros gritted his teeth throwing a flurry of attacks at the old guildmaster. But most of his attacks were deflected and dodged with easy. The struggle quite irritated Ladros side. He muttered, "I don't care anymore if you're the guildmaster or not, nobody dare to disrespect me and escapes. You're about to be a deadman!"

The guildmastered faintly laughed hearing Ladros bold claim. He also admired his sudden increase in speed of his attacking. "You are brave or might be stupid to say such thing to me, let's find out who's the deadman." His eye glimmer with a bit of excitement in them, he immediately grabbed Ladros leg while throwing a kick at him. The old man grip the leg , he then spun Ladros around before throwing him off far.

Ladros was sent crashing down on his back, before immediately standing up to his two feet. He began releasing small portion of his aura, as he was taking the fight serious then. Black and the others immediately sensed his aura coming out from him.

"Ladros, stop!!" Black yelling.

"Huh, I guess your name is Ladros? What a interesting name you have there," The guildmaster mutteredwith a intrigue expression.

"I guess kids this days have forgotten to show respect for their elders. You think your incredible power makes you superior to others, but to tell you the truth it doesn't. Your generation might be blessed with a lot of power, but you also lack the intelligence to use your brain." The guildmaster stated.

He quickly dashed forward reaching Ladros side in seconds, pulling back his arm he was launching a serious punch at him. A the punch covered the distance between Ladros it was immediately stopped by a single hand. The figure to have shown stopping the punch was a angry looking Vera, who had her serious glare on her face.

The spectators simply froze at seeing her blocking the punch. Black was caught in bewildered by Vera fast speed, he did not see her move pass him, but only saw her when she was about to stop the punch. Sonia sneered her face glancing at her side.

Vera firmly stared down the guildmaster with a hard glare. Her expression changed the guildmaster early serious expression to a soft one. She seriously questioned his actions and saying, "Guildmaster, is this how we treat new members now?"

"Huh, what!? What are you saying Vera? Is he a new member?" The guildmaster was insantly confused by the claim of Vera. But his whole body immediately tense up catching a glimpse of her serious gaze.

He nervously apologized for his actions, he then turned to apologise to Ladros also. He turned back his face at Vera saying, "I really sorry I had no clue who the boy was. He should have said something to me before things got that far." The old nervously said looking at Vera face.

Everyone else present excitedly shouted at the moment. They laughed at the guildmaster while he was being scolded by Vera. To them it was something priceless seeing the guildmaster getting like a child. Some were admiring Ladros strength in taking the old man hits.

"Truly, I didn't know he was a newbie. If I would have known that I would have never done anything." The guildmaster muttered.

"Oh, so you would have only no fight him if you knew he was new," Vera abruptly colsed her eyes and deeply sighed through his mouth. "Did we not discuss this the other day. You have to stop fighting anyone who enters your office. No everyone is an assassin."

She started to laugh as her facial expression turning menacing. Her awkward laugh made the guildmaster feel uncomfortable. He awkwardly laughed.

"What are we seeing right now?"

"I don't have a clue, but I'm glad that they were stopped."

Derek and Asrael quietly stated with a sign of worried looks. They both began walking toward the bar canter. Riley casually approached bumping her shoulder with Sonia. She muttered in excitement at the scene that just happened. Turning her face, Sonia had a menacing stare on her.

"She amazing," Black quietly murmured.

Sonia and the other turned their faces at him questioning his words. Black simply coughed avoiding to utter his comment again. Derek mocked him for seemly blushing. Riley quietly looked at him with a dislike face.

"Stop, I wasn't blushing. I am simply impressed by her speed, she move so fast I didn't see her pass me." Black said with a firm look.

"Me too, I was surprised to see her there so fast. In a moment shewas stand the canter, then she immediately appeared in front of the there. I never thought mortals were this fast. " said Asrael. Sonia, Riley and Derek casually nodded their heads in agreement to his comment.

Moment later, Vera walked around the canter, she face directly at Black group. She frowned her facial expression apologizingnto the group. "I would like to apologize for the guildmaster actions. He is really sorry for his actions towards your friend. I would understand if you guys don't want to join up with our guild now."

"Is this the only guild our here?" said Black. Sonia casually slapped his shoulder.

"He is joking. We still want to join up with your guild. The matter has been handled and you guys have apologized for your actions." Sonia stated.

Vera faintly smiled, hearing Sonia words. "Hey, I never got to ask for your names, what are your name?"

Black quietly stared at her. He thought about uttering his real name to her. But Sonia, Riley, Derek and Asrael uttered their names at Vera side. Vera then respond back by saying hers also.

"Those name are quite unique. Oh, I remember you calling him Ladros right, and what is yours?" Vera asked looking at Black. Black quietly stared at her face not responding. He thought of telling her his name, but she might end up recognising it. He immediately turned his face sense a some tension coming from the side.

Looking, he saw Sonia giving him a hard stare. He slightly smiled shaking his head. "Sorry, I'm Black."

"It's nice to me you guys. I'm the guild manager. I am the one allow to recruit people to the guild and the guildmaster has the finally respond," Vera spoke with a soft tone.

"So you might be strong to be incharge of such a job," Black muttered looking at Vera.

"You might say that, but I'm not as strong as the others." Vera replied.

Black started laughing looking at Ladros direction. " Hey Ladros, why were you fighting the guildmaster? You know if you were about to mess things up for us. If you stunt caused us to be locked out, Sonia was going to kill you."

"One of this days you will regret trying to piss her off, don't come running to me if she tries to kill you fool, hah!" Black casually laughed.

"You can laugh if you want she will never do anything to me. I don't care about her, and I will kill that old man when I get the chance." Ladros 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! I told you I don't care Black. It's not my problem to satisfy her needs," said Ladros. Black quietly laughed.

In the afternoon.

Inside of the Demon Slayer guild in the up floors of the place, Sonia and Riley were unpacking the luggage.

"It was kind for her to let us stay here." said Sonia.

"I never thought we'll be staying inside a guild. I have heard stories about this places, but I never thought I'll stay in them. It was good that she separate us from the boys, it just us girls!" Riley muttered with a excited voice.

Suddenly, the door of the room was open with Black walking inside. He walked up to Sonia and Riley while they were unpacking their luggage. He said, "Isn't this place amazing. The rooms look quiet great inside and clean. I guess this guild takes care of itself."

"I guess that Vera girl is a nice person," Sonia faintly smiled looking at Black.

"Yeah, but I would talk so highly about her." Black said with a serious look; He was cautious of allowing themselves to trust people as many mortals in the mortal realm hated demons.

"Black, you should allow yourself to relax a bit. Not everyone is a bad person," Sonia said.

"I already know that, you starting to forget that we are in the mortal realm. And the mortals not known for their kindness towards other beings." Black said, looking towards the far.

Meanwhile, inside the demon realm.

At the Naberius resident.

Klaus walked inside the kitchen, finding Hayley as she was preparing tea. He then approached side grabbing her waist with one hand. He slide his both his hands through her element dress next to her waist. Hayley face came close to his, as he brushed his nose to hers. Looking, down at her her soft pink coloured lips and staring into her golden yellow eyes.

Hayley cheeks turned red brushing looking at Klaus eyes. The two stared into each other eyes. There surrounding completely disappeared, the only thing that exist was the twomof them.

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

"You've find me, so what?" Hayley puffed her cute red cheeks turning her away her face. Klaus faintly smiled casually looked at Hayley beauty. His lips were placed closer, as he began kissing her lips. Hayley 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, Hayley brought tea for Klaus, who was casually sitting at the backyard reading the new paper. Hayley 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.

Hayley 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." Hayley said looking at Klaus.

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

"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," Hayley aid 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.

Hayley casually brushes his back and said, "You have me." Klaus and Hayley 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<> 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 <> it strong enough to protect them all."

"Mmm...!! Hellfire Burning-Prison Storm!! Hhy aah!!" Black kept on firing <> 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 demon," 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.

[Sixteen Gate - The Shinning Kingdom] Ramos fired up a 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 had dark hair and white pale skin tone. He wore a white shirt, with dark blue pants and black shoes. The a quiet presence about him, showing g him as someone who did not talk too much.

"How is this happening? This wasn't supposed to be this hard this time!" Ramos had a angry with. 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.
