Chapter 4 - 3: Guy Crimson

Blake and Ddraig had one feeling upon seeing that smile, and that was the feeling of danger. "H-hello" Blake stammered out, the situation striking a hot fear within him. The other side did not react, but something in the red haired mans smile just put them at unease. 

"You know what, Im sorry for intruding. We will leave now" Blake got out as he and Ddraig did an about face and was about to exit, but the crystalline doors slammed shut. There was no escape from here. "Well now, we wouldn't want our guests to leave so soon" said red hair as he rose from his seat and his maids and his female friend followed. 

The man wiggled his finger as if to say 'follow'. They knew there wasn't an option, and thus they followed along the path of their 'host'. "Ddraig, what do you think is gonna happen?" Blake asked Ddraig and the dragon, which had shrunk down to a more manageable size, gave his thoughts on the matter. "Well, considering his aura he is demonic. However, there is no killing intent yet so if we play it well we might make it out alive" said Ddraig and Blake gulped hearing that. 

Demons were something always depicted as evil and self-serving. He has heard there was a few works that humanized them, but he doubt actual demons would ever be that kind, it just seemed wrong to think so. Maybe if this situation ends well, he might rethink his stance. 

They walked along a long hallway and it was a couple minutes and they arrived at a balcony space where a large table was set up and chairs rose out of the ice. Blake turned his eyes and was able to feel that the ice powers came from the one with white hair. He didn't know why, but his body and eyes were able to sense these things and it did not fill him with confidence in surviving if they came to blows. He figured instant annihilation would be the best case scenario. 

After being gestured to chairs, they both sat down and the maids brought them tea to drink. Blake took the cup and said a word of thanks to the maids which seemed surprised at the thanks but said nothing. Blake took a drink and he was astonished. 'That tea tastes good' Blake thought, and Blake turned to get a look at Ddraig. He was, barely able to hold the cup with his claws and he looked a little uncomfortable in the chair. 

"Hey, sir is it okay if Ddraig stands?" Blake asked the man at the head of the table. He looked over and saw the dragon struggling, and while he was chuckling at the dragons misfortune he made a gesture and the lady made the chair melt away and it seemed Ddraig was more comfortable now. 

"Thank you sir" said Ddraig and he took a drink of his tea. "Your welcome" the host finally spoke and his voice was both masculine yet had hints of feminity. "Sir, may we have your name?" asked Blake and the host smiled. "Of course, where are my manners. I am the greatest of the primordial seven. I am of the strongest demon lords, my name is Guy Crimson" he introduced himself with a dramatic flair that seemed to suit him. 

"Guy Crimson, a nice name. My name is Blake" said Blake as he introduced himself. "Ddraig, the red dragon emperor" said Ddraig. At Ddraigs proclamation, it seemed both Guy and his lady friend took an interest in Ddraig. "Dragon emperor you say" said the lady as she slowly walked towards Ddraig. Her aura flared and surrounded the dragon in question. Despite having temperature immunity, it seemed her own aura and her own ability bypassed the resistance and he began to shiver. Frost began to cover his crimson scales and his breath now produced icy mist. 

"Yes, that is my name and title" said Ddraig, still standing strong even in the face of the 'opponent' in front of him. Her aura flared for a moment longer before it seemingly vanished and she now had a smile on her face. "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Velzard, and I am one of four true dragons to exist" said Velzard, finally introducing herself. 

"Well, you seem strong at least so you should be able to back up that title" said Velzard as she went towards Guy and sat on his chairs armrest. "He does seem strong, as does this human here. No, I suppose human is too low. I think the term the world used was saint right?" asked Guy towards Velzard as she thought for a moment and said, "I believe so."

"Saint?" asked Blake, and while he was familiar with the term for Canon saints and Buddhist saints, this term was surely more unfamiliar than what he was familiar with. "You dont know what a saint is, despite being one?" said Guy with a curiosity. "I am familiar with the term, yet I have a feeling this is different than what I am familiar with" said Blake as he sipped his tea again and was still finding something new in the tea. "The tea is good by the way" said Blake.

"I thank you for the kindness, my maids are good cooks when they put their minds to it. Though to answer your question, saints are an evolved form of humanity. A spiritual life form with immense amounts of energy and ability to match demon lords" said Guy. He seemed willing to explain and that was worthwhile for Blake and he hoped to keep it going. 

"Well, I suppose we should get to the heart of the matter" said Guy as he straightened his back and his aura began to leak from his body. It was immense, even though Blake and Ddraig knew he held back quite a bit, Ddraig even more so.

"What are you doing here?"
