**********

'I'm loving my broken defense more and more' thought Yuki with a twisted grin on his face… he probably could have withstood this kind of attack with his diamond body alone… No! even his physical body without any abilities was quite terrifying…

"What in the hell are you?" Asked Elmesia with a shocked look, but Yuki simply chuckled slightly and said "I'm what they call a bitch slapper"

"W-what—" Elmesia's brain couldn't process what Yuki just said, and the slaps that landed on her face right after made it even harder for her to focus her mind…

In just a few instants, Yuki landed 30 slaps on her face and turned her cute appearance into a hideous one before he let go of her "This is going to be your punishment for today" Said Yuki… Meanwhile, as all of this was happening, no one noticed that a certain ghost-looking boy had disappeared from his previous position…

"I won't forgive you!" said Elmesia suddenly with a venomous tone and a dangerous aura gushed from her body as she activated two unique skills, empower and multiple cast…

Empower just as the name suggests can strengthen the effect of anything she casts… and this time instead of hundreds of fireballs, hundreds of fire suns emerged in the air threatening to swallow the whole auction house!

"Retreat immediately.;. Her highness is enraged"

"Quick! cast defensive spells!"

"Protect me with your lives you stupid servants!"

People's reactions were varied, but only one person acted selflessly… It was the masked woman Shizue Izawa, the emperor of flames!

And just as Elmesia launched her attack, Shizue moved in front of Yuki surprising him as she said "Unique skill Degenerate!"

Suddenly, all the huge fireballs that were flying through the air began merging thanks to Shizue's unique skill and she ended up creating an enormous fireball that even caused Yuki to sweat slightly which she quickly manipulated to change its shape before she dragged it out of the auction and sent it to explode high up in the air creating a terrifying explosion like a small sun exploding that sent a terrifying heat shockwave throughout the capital of Sarion!

"Please stop this senseless fight, innocent people are going to get hurt" Said Shizue, with her hand shaking slightly which didn't escape Yuki's notice as he thought 'What's this girl doing here, isn't she supposed to be teaching kids or something?' Thought Yuki before he said with a shameless smile "I'm flattered that you think I'm innocent"

'No, she definitely didn't mean you' was the thought on everyone's mind… Meanwhile, Elmesia regained some of her sanity as she cast a healing spell on herself that healed her from her injuries and glared at Yuki

"Hero Shizue Izawa I respect you a lot, but you better not stand in my way or you will also be my enemy!" said Elmesia with a snort, and Yuki couldn't help but think 'What the hell? Are you a tsundere or what'?

"I won't move since you're are putting the lives of everyone in danger, we came here for an auction, not to fight for our lives" said Shizue unrelenting, and just as Elmesia was about to retort, Hinata suddenly landed beside them and stared silently at Shizue before she turned toward Elmesia and Yuki and said "You two need to solve your problems somewhere else"

"Tch how cold, I like Shizue more" muttered Yuki which annoyed Hinata as she put her hand on her sword and said "You want me to shop you up?"

"No thanks, I'm good as a whole beautiful piece of art" said Yuki with a prideful face that made the three girls nauseated… Meanwhile, the royal guards soon rushed into the auction house from everywhere... Yuki found their reaction quite terrifying. After all, the fight didn't take more than a minute…

Sacha and Kayle ran towards Yuki and kept checking on his appearance to make sure he was alright…

"How are you planning to compensate me!" said Elmesia seeing that she might gain the western church as an enemy if she takes action right now so she thought of the next best thing money…

"I can give you this much gold coins" said Yuki while rising his middle finger at her "What do you think?"

Elmesia almost spat blood from anger and even Hinata and Shizue were starting to feel that he was a hopeless case and it's better if he just dies...

"You bastard, you really want to die don't you?" said Elmesia through gritted teeth but Yuki simply shrugged and said "Go ahead kill me, but be ready to feel the wrath of Leon Cromwell"

Shizue shivered slightly when she heard the name Leon, but she tried to hide it as much as possible, although it didn't escape Yuki who was using absolute focus to observe the tiniest of actions from these people in case they try anything sneeky… After all, only those close to him knew that his goofy actions were just a disguise to make people let their guard around him, while in reality he was observing everything closely and contemplating many possibilities and plans!

"Your majesty, what's going on?" Asked a man with slit eyes… This was the archduke of Sarion Erald Grimwald, someone who can even rival the empress in strength! And he rushed to the auction house the moment he received words that there was trouble and the empress was involved.

Elmesia quickly communicated the situation to Erald telepathically and the latter immediately had a dangerous aura around him as he glared at Yuki before he said "what started this conflict?"

"Hmm… you people started it, didn't she just explain the situation to you through telepathy?" said Yuki while tilting his head curiously acting cute, although the people here knew that he was anything but that, especially when they remembered how he mercilessly kept slapping Elmesia…

'This kid is dangerous' thought Erald, but although it was their fault, they couldn't admit to it or they will lose even more face…

"Kid, you attacked our people and humiliated our empress, demon lord Leon better be ready to pay the price for this! Our country isn't something to be trifled with"

Multiple terrifying auras suddenly gushed from Erald's body as well as some of the people that followed him…

'This guy is only using a homunculus as some sort of clone and yet his power is already at calamity level… If his real body was here… hmmm let's test something out, if push comes to shove, I will just call Milim here and let the flood destroy them.' Thought Yuki quickly before he turned to Kayle beside him and said

"Yo, Leon-chan, for how long are you going to keep watching the show when they are bullying your buddy like this"

"Yuki-sama what are you…" Asked Kayle who didn't understand what Yuki was doing while Elmesia said "Stop bluffing, Leon doesn't care about anyone to this extent to keep an eye on them—"

Just as Elmesia finished speaking, light suddenly gushed from the token that Kayle held that represented Leon's authority and transformed into his figure, although it was clearly just a projection "I've seen what happened, these people indeed insulted us first, if anyone of you dares to touch Yuki or the servants I assigned for him, war is what awaits you"

Everyone shivered when they heard Leon's cold words, clearly he valued Yuki more than what they thought. No even Yuki was slightly surprised and his eyes shifted in contemplation... Meanwhile, Elmesia couldn't help but say "Would you rather lose all friendships with Sarion just for one man?"

"Yes, I do" Said Leon while staring at the woman he knew for a long time and was on quite the friendly terms with, but this time he was even determined to break all relations with them for some reason!

'Wait doesn't that mean he knows that I was trying to scam him from his money?' wondered Yuki while Leon and Elmesia negotiated before they came to terms that no more fights are to happen today and both sides should just accept the outcome since they both went overboard… This was the power of one of the strongest demon lords!

After the discussions were over, Leon shot Shizue a glance before he disappeared "Well, are we all good now?" Said Yuki with a shameless smile and Elmesia simply snorted before she ignored him…

"I'm going to stay in Sarion for a few days, hope you don't mind" said Yuki, but he didn't receive a response once more, and this time he was approached by the archduke Erald who said "You can stay on the premise that you don't cause any trouble"

"Sure, just don't try to kill me in my sleep dearest Elmesia" said Yuki with a charming grin and everyone almost stumbled over their feet… 'Just how does your brain work' thought Kayle while observing Yuki…

Meanwhile, Elmesia snorted at him and said "Hmph, I don't like you but I'm not someone who uses underhanded tactics"

"Sure sure, I almost believed you, a ruler that doesn't use underhanded tactics, yup right" Elmesia had dark lines on her face and she felt like she aged by a few years from talking to this annoying guy so she quickly took her leave…

"Thanks for your help" said Yuki to Shizue with a smile and the latter nodded at him without saying anything which made Yuki's eyes flicker slightly with annoyance before he said with a smile

"Want to go eat together?" said Yuki before he directly held her by the waist and she tried to struggle away from him but she was so… weak. This made Yuki frown slightly as he whispered in her ear so that only she could hear him "I know what you are going through, relax I'm going to get you something to help you…"

"What are you doing?" Asked Hinata ready to kill Yuki on the spot but Shizue waved at her before she nodded at Yuki "little hero, we can have our date at a later time" said Yuki as he left with Shizue still held close to him and she also wrapped her arm around him making them appear like a couple… although Yuki was only doing this because he noticed that this woman who valiantly saved him was barely standing on her feat…

Kayle and Sacha followed behind Yuki, the latter with a blush on her face, and they completely didn't notice Yurei's absence… This was the effect of his ability, Hidden presence…

Hinata stared silently at Yuki before she took her leave…

***

After walking some distance away from the auction, Yuki went directly toward an inn and rented three rooms and he immediately placed Shizue on a bed in one of the rooms gently…

"Are you okay?" he asked and Kayle and Sacha finally realized that the condition of this masked woman wasn't right

"I-I'm f-fine" Shizue barely uttered these words and Yuki couldn't help but say "Are you losing control?"

Shizue stared at him with shock in her eyes before she nodded silently…

"Yurei, give me that stone" said Yuki, seemingly to the empty air, but Sacha was startled when Yurei appeared from right behind her as if he was there the whole time and gave Yuki the clarity stone…

"Here you go, everything was settled as planned as well" said Yurei, and Yuki couldn't help but nod at him in appreciation

"Good job"

Then he turned to Shizue and said "here, hold this, it will help you clear up your mind and focus on regaining control over your body"

'Isn't this the stone the minister from Doran purchased? Why's it in Yuki's possession?' she thought as Yuki placed the stone on top of her stomach before he placed both her hands on top of it and she heard him say

"Just clear your mind from any distractions for now, anything else can be discussed later"

Knowing that what he said was true, Shizue put some of her magicules inside the clarity stone and activated its effect and she immediately felt the raging Ifrit that was trying to take control over her body slowly growing weaker… NO, she was growing stronger inside her own mind!
