The Supreme Satanic System

Diana then further added, "The fiery family of Chimeras[1] made an alliance with the Werewolves as they also had some enmity with vampires while The Treant Guardian family of Elves joined the alliance with Vampires as they had been brooding over those Chimeras for burning the forest unnecessarily. The Healer family remained neutral. Then they all began an all-out war. But just a few days later, a man wearing a shinigami mask [2] appeared suddenly and announced to them to stop immediately. But some strong-headed strongmen of the four olden families ignored his words and continued the battle. Then,.."

Bobby held her hands suddenly, making her halt. "Then, what? Don't you like me holding your hands? Fine, I will just…" He smiled at her.

"No," she said briskly and continued, "Then, the man unseals his katana for a fraction of seconds. But all the heads of those who didn't listen to him fell to the ground." The story continued as,

The others who were about to act also suddenly stopped after seeing that.

"Do I have your attention now?" the man wearing the Shinigami mask asked.

Everyone turned their attention toward him.

"Oh, do you all still wish to continue? If you do, then I shall be happy to cut more of your head today. " said the mask-man. Suddenly he felt something and looked up at the sky and spoke loudly, "You can come out now, four friends. Your ambush will not work on me."

"Hah, you know we are here!" A man appeared out of thin air and stood in the air.

"How do you even know we are even here?" Another man also appeared in the air.

"Heehee, now it is becoming interesting." A beautiful lady who seemed to be in her early 30s also stood in the air. "Karl, are you still not coming out?"

A thin youth appeared in the air soon. All four of them kept a distance between them.

"Fine, you four must be the current heads of the four olden families, right?" asked the masked man.

"Yep, and who are you?" Karl replied and asked without beating on the bush.

"I am a member of the Hunter family." He then further added, "Can you all stop this farce already? You will settle nothing with bloodshed, anyway. But, if you still insist on throwing away the scabbard then, today I shall be happy to cut all of your heads off today."

"Impudence!" the family head of the Fiery Family shouted, "So what, even if you are from the Hunter family? What right do you still have to interfere in our dispute?"

"Hey, Flamy Dumbhead, stop talking nonsense. If you want to challenge a hunter, feel free to challenge yourself but I...." the lady who was also the family head of the Elves scolded him.

p But interrupted abruptly before she even finished her words.

"Right!! Hahaha…" The masked man continued, "Hey, I will be happier to watch you all kill each other like before. But this time, you all have broken our eternal pledge."

"What eternal pledge, but I don't remember one?" Karl, the head of the Werewolves of the Blood Moon, asked while frowning.

"Hmm, so, all forget it. Fine, I will make you all remember it today. Have you all forgotten about the prophecy, because we Hunters haven't still? " responded the masked man and asked them,

No one replied.

After a couple of minutes, the masked man continued speaking, "Hah, so you all don't remember! Your progenitors would be so freaking happy if they learn about this. Well, I won't stoop to your level. I'll be a better man and remind you all about that pledge, 'We, the members of the Ancient Six families, must abide to stay low and rule the earth from behind the scenes. The sky of the Earth is still murky and dark, even if it looks clearer and beautiful to the eyes. Until the 'Child Of Destiny' was born and led the six families of ours into a new age, the earth, wind, water, sun, moon, and the heavenly bodies in the night sky would be the only ones to know our existence…. So, does it ring a bell for any of you?" "So, now you all are fighting outside openly here, showing our existence to the outside world. Don't you all think you are all breaking that pledge? Still, our Hunter family shall keep the pledge, even if it means exterminating all your four families. Believe me, we could do the job within a day. "

"Aren't those the words written on our family's mandatory plate? " A vampire from among the crowd blurted out loud.

"Right, we all recite those rhymes every year when we all give homage to our deceased ancestors." Another man from among werewolves added.

"That means he is telling the truth."

Soon, a commotion broke out.

"Silence!" Karl shouted, shutting all their mouths at once. "Fine, we will stop our fight here. But you, on the other hand, need to give a better explanation for killing my men. I am not afraid of the Hunters. Otherwise,...."

"Yes, you better be," the other three families' heads also agreed to him.

"Ho ho ho!" The masked man started laughing. He then suddenly shouted, "Otherwise, what?" "I have already been kind enough to not kill all of you here for breaking the pledge."

"How about a fight between us four? If you can defeat us, you can leave. But, if you don't, give us five gallons of dragon blood to each of us." Karl suggested. Hearing his propositions, the other three family's head also nodded their heads agreeing to him.

"Do you think I am a pussy? " The masked man continued, "Well, well, well. But I will change a bit of that bet. Hmm...if I win, then you all must give me 10 gallons of dragon blood to me. " He doubled the price.

"No, we disagree!!" The three family's head responded at the same time.

"Hahaha! I imagine you all must have a ball challenging me. Are you all chickening out?" The masked man laughed and said in a mocking voice.

"Fine," Karl said.

"Are you stupid, Karl?" The female head of the Elven family retorted.

"Hey, Lian, don't worry. I will take out 50% of the total dragon blood if we lose. If we win then, we all get our shares equally." Karl suggested shrewdly, which the other three couldn't deny.

At last, they all agreed and said, "Deal!"

[1]Chimeras: There are different versions of Chimeras but, here in this arc, they have nothing different from any human. It is just that when they transform into their true form; they turn into a fiery human-like monster.
