In the distance, a man wearing a luxurious, deep crimson coat emerged from the shadows. The intricate embroidery on the coat depicted ancient symbols, and its material seemed to shimmer with an otherworldly quality. The man''s presence exuded an aura of both elegance and danger, his piercing gaze fixed on Yato and Lucas.


    As they noticed the approaching figure, Yato''s expression shifted, a hint of wariness in his eyes. Lucas, too, felt a subtle tension in the air. The man continued his measured approach, a mysterious smile ying on his lips.


    "…demon"


    Yato muttered as he saw two horns on the man''s head.


    Although the former did not give off a terrifying aura, a pressuring feeling had emerged across the surroundings, causing the entire streets to be deathly silent.


    -Tap! -Tap!


    Slowly, stopping a fair bit of distance from Yato and Lucas, the man looked towards his surroundings. His indifferent face briefly nced at the demons on the floor. However, it was only for a brief moment as they soon paused on a particr demon in the distance.


    Looking at a particr demon whose body was broken into millions of pieces by Yato''s punch, the man softly said with a trace of pity in his voice


    "…so he died too"


    Thereafter, frowning slightly, the Patriarch looked towards Yato and Lucas. Staring at him for what felt an eternity, the Patriarch slowly spoke


    "…I don''t know who are you but if you step away now I''ll let you live. I have some business with that boy"


    Yato looked at the demon and chuckled, "Sorry can''t do that. You see he is my only disciple and I can''t just hand over my disciple to anyone Even if anyone is a demon for a matter of fact."


    Meanwhile, Lucas was frozen on the spot, Why? Because he knew this demon.


    After all, he was the one writing this demon character when writing his novel.


    The demon was the head of The Malic n, a sub-branch of the demon n of Envy.


    His name is Vorath.


    He is the one who ordered Samual to abduct Isabe, He is the one who turned Samuel into a fallen human.


    Lucas knew he was here to take revenge on him for killing Samual.


    After all, Virath had received a huge cksh when Samuel died and not only that his reputation as head of malic was also ruined in demon society.


    Vorath had be a mockery of high-ranking demons and the only way Vorath felt at ease was by killing Lucas.


    However, in his way stood Yato.


    "I see, it seems you wish to die," Voratg replied coldly.


    "Lucas get away from here," Yato said as he raised to Vorath,  Lucas nodded his head and got away from them.


    He knows he couldn''t fight Vorath, he was too strong for Lucas.


    Once Lucas was away from them, Yato turned his head toward him and said, "Lucas, Today, I want you to observe two things, my dear disciple. Watch how a real sh between two high-level entities goes down. And witness my secret technique, one you''ll soon inherit as my disciple."


    Vorath red at Yato, he didn''t like the way Yato was talking.


    With resolute determination etched on his face, Vorath summoned a long silver crossguard sword into his grasp.


    Suddenly, spikes sprouted from the hilt of the sword, impaling Vorath''s grip, and in the next moment, its silver de turned a deep shade of crimson.


    Ignoring Vorath, Yato continued his talk. "This ability is only special to me and no one in the world could able to master it unless I tell them how to master it, Do you want to know what ability I''m talking about?"


    I frowned a bit and thought. I don''t know anything about Yato if I have to say because I haven''t written his character but from the memories of previous Lucas, Yato is known for having a powerful ability.


    No one has this ability name or its power. Because those who encountered it are not alive.


    "I don''t know, Master." giving up, I said to Yato.


    "Well, you will know in a few seconds."


    "Don''t you dare to ignore me, You human" Vorath shouted in anger as he saw Yato was still talking to me.


    Observing that Yato yet ignored him again, Vorath tried to attack, only to discover that he couldn''t move an inch.


    Vorath eyes widened, but regardless of his efforts, his feet were firmly anchored to the ground.


    A crease formed on his forehead as he looked down.


    He saw there was nothing, however soon enough his eyes widened, and at rapid speed, his mana core emptied.


    He didn''t use any spell, ability, or any art. Even so, his mana tank bes empty.


    Before he could think of a solution, an overwhelming pressure descended upon the Vorath''s shoulders, akin to a mountain falling upon him.


    Despite his inhuman strength, Vorath''s knees buckled, and he copsed onto all fours.


    Ignoring Vorath''s struggle, Yato continued his talk.


    "It''s actually a domain, there are only a few in the world who have a domain and each domain is different from the other. When a person activates his domain, that person surpasses their power until the domain is activated."


    My eyes widened as Yatopleted his word.


    ''A domain? Why I didn''t think of that before?''


    Yato is written there only a few handful people can even hope to have a domain.


    And one of those few is a student council president, Seraphina.


    I knew at Silva City when I was about to die by hoards of monsters, she had activated her domain.


    As Yato said every person has a different domain and Seraphina had [ Ice Domain].


    She killed every monster in the area when she activated her domain.


    "So what''s your domain, Master?"  The desire to know tugged at me—a mix of curiosity and excitement. Yes, I don''t know why but I was excited.


    Noticing the glimmer in my eyes, Yato spoke up with a genuine smile:


    "It''s [Mana Domain]."
