Chapter 6:

The Illusionist

Devil Creed


-You tried to kill my masters, didn't you?
-And if that's what you're going to do, impure (Demons are called impure by beings or humans against their existence as if they were an affront to everything divine)
-So you son of a bitch, I'm going to beat you up so bad you're going to beg for death


With a subtle raise of his eyebrows, the arsonist mocks the bodyguard.


-*Who does he think he is*.-That sentence echoes in his head. -* I'm going to kill him. He is no match for me*.


-Will not start? Then give me the honors.- Yuu kneels and places his hand on the ground.- Allow me to disappear...-A strange cloud starts to appear from the ground

-What you are doing?

An invisible voice answers the confused young man.

-You smart enough to bypass our security, try to use your brain and think what is this.

A vast dense fog covers the entire place, Fenix is completely blinded.

-It will be like this then.-Fenix raises his hand and invokes a magic circle that emanates an unbearable amount of heat.-You will appear with this, INFERNAL EXTENSION.

A large crimson circle appears on the ground covering the entire perimeter of the alley they were in, followed by a wave of flames that sting everything it touches, burning everything around it. With the grandeur of the flames, the fog that was thick before disappears.

-Now do me the favor of showing up you damn impure...

-As you wish.- With a quick and cunning move Yūu pulls his sword from the ground and shoots towards his opponent, and quickly delivers an overwhelming blow with his Zanbatō.- I hope you enjoy spending the rest of your life in jail .

-And I hope you like a tomb with your name in a cemetery.- With dexterity and agility the arsonist tilts his blade that could no longer bear the weight of the Zanbatō downwards, causing his opponent to plunge the sword into the ground leaving it buried in floor.

-Nice move...ARGH.

Yuu receives a direct punch to his face, strong enough to destroy a 50-story building with ease, and with flames capable of melting the highest grade demonic steel.

-It's not over yet.- Says the Incendiary shooting like a bullet towards Yūu, and proceeds with a sequence of intentional blows, Yūu can only defend himself, his opponent doesn't even give him time to breathe.

-*Shit, this guy is good, I would say that he is physically equal to Haruka. I have to get out of here. I have to distract him to start my next move!*

But the Incendiary wouldn't let him strike back, Yūu's suffering had no end.

-I think I like the new sand bag.- Says the young man throwing a punch and sending Yūu away.

-*WHAT'S WHAT I NEEDED*.- A new smokescreen appears

-The same trick again? Hmm, you don't learn, do you, you are nothing but a useless and infernal extension.


The same wave of flame floods the alley again, only this time the fog doesn't go away.


-What's going on, why didn't it disappear?


-It was a very bad approach of mine, don't you think?.- Says a voice from beyond, followed by a deep cut on the Incendiary's belly


-ARGH... WHERE ARE YOU?


-Where I am? I'm right here.- Another slash is launched, but this time towards the chest.- Try to find me, hahahahahaha


-Curse you.


-*This time I will cut off a leg. This guy needs to stop at once.*


Yūu raises his sword and shoots towards his target, but something surprises him, his opponent knew exactly where he was going to be, as if he had predicted his movements or even read his mind.


-I found you!


-*Shit*.-Yūu manages to dodge at the last moment, and by losing his concentration the fog cloud disappears.- *He couldn't have seen me unless...* You, (sigh), have a unique skill, don't you?

-Perhaps. But that shouldn't come as a surprise to someone like you. Using illusion magic or mirages technique is much rarer. I knew there was an "Illusionist" among the demons, but I didn't expect him to be so young. Anyway, enough of this bullshit, let's get down to business...

-Time accelerator, light speed.- Moving at speeds above sound is standard for almost every demon who dedicates himself to being a warrior, but there are few who move beyond light, luckily Yuu is one of them.

-Shit.- The young arsonist's eyes glow a golden light with sapphire hues.

-*That glow, Mister Jirō has the same, if it's the skill I think, there's only one way to stop it*.- Yuu puts his hands together, and a magic circle emitting an emerald glow appears in his fists and in a pass by magic, an army of figures identical to the Yamadas' bodyguards appear and begin to mingle.

-It will not work!

- You think? try to dodge it

-To try? Um, I know exactly who you are.- The arsonist's flaming fist crosses Yuu's body, but something strange was happening, there was no blood and it wasn't palpable, it was an illusion


--As I thought. Magic vision!


-Shit!


Yuu unleashes an incessant sequence of blows, on the head, neck, legs, arms, abdomen, he punishes his opponent and makes him regret the day of his birth just with this indomitable sequence of punches and kicks all charged with magical energy, making each blow was more destructive than an explosion


-*I have to get out of here, this guy is no joke, if I stay here... he's going to kill me! What monstrous strength is this*


-Hey hey, it wasn't you who was going to kill me.- Says Yuu, continuing with the series of blows. He starts to pay attention and sees that the young man was about to collapse.- *I think that was enough... Special earth and fire magic*.-Yuu's fist starts to have a silver coloration as if it were made of steel, along with a potent heat as if a volcano lives in your arm.-GOLIATH'S FURY, GLOWING HAMMER.- A straight punch, the only thing Yuu should have done during the fight, and with that the arsonist falls to the ground.

-Done, it's over. *Who is this guy, he's kinda strong, but not enough to face Lord Kojou or the other members of Devil's Creed, because he risked so much to set the city on fire. No one is so dumb as to attack the imperial capital*


-*Boy? Fenix, answer me. Are you alive?

- *I am! This guy is strong, he managed to outwit my magical vision. Even though I struggled to charge the teleportation necklace again, I thought it would be easy.*


-*ASSHOLE! I TOLD YOU OUT WHEN THE WORK WAS FINISHED, NOW THEY WILL DISCOVER US. And even worse, Hellsing will have to get involved if you don't get out of there now*

-*The necklace is almost...charged...just need...a little more time*

-*You're too tired to go out there alone, I'll ask someone to bring you from...*

*NO. I...can...by myself!*

-Yuu!

-Haruka? How did you get out of the holy water dome?

-I'll tell you later. So that's the famous arsonist, let's get him back!

-No... YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE ME ANYWHERE

A giant aura began to release, an aura so hot that it was impossible to breathe.

-Yuu, in readiness

-Yes my lord!
