Bottom A, Top O - Chapter 105

The fact this bulky man could do this much damage. Probably his kick had the force of a hundred elephants.

Ryu tossed away like a ragdoll and crashed into the wall. It formed a deep crater and dust filled the air.

Narukami was aware of Ryu’s tough physical body so he was shocked but that only lasted a few seconds.

He didn’t have anything to worry about.

“Is he okay?” Diana asked worriedly as she warily looked at the bulky man. Like a beast finding out its territory had been invaded and preparing for an attack.

“Don’t worry,” Narukami calmly replied.

Not long after, the bulky man sent a punch to Ryu.

He did not give Ryu a chance to rest.

Bam! Bam!

The small corridor shook and the dust on the ceiling rained down. The ground was reverberating.

For the prisoners. Each time the ground shook, it struck fear and anxiety. They were worried the prison would fall and buried them alive.

Sweat flowed down their cheeks and the heartbeat was getting faster.

“Let’s go.” Narukami walked behind the bulky man as the latter’s entire focus was on Ryu.

Diana was bewildered. His friend was getting beaten up yet he ignored it!

Does he fear this man that he ran away for his life? Diana thought to himself and her gaze filled with disgust and despise.

However, that thought soon evaporated as Narukami simply said, “I trust him.”

Diana frowned but suddenly.

Bam!

The bulky man out of the blue crashed to the prison cell on their right. Cloud of dust-covered his figure and Ryu walked out of the crater and stretched lazily as if just waking up.

He stretched his neck and bones cracking could be heard. “What a way to wake up.”

Diana was stunned as she was petrified. Ryu before him had an entirely different aura. It was the aura of death lingering around him.

Diana felt her breathing involuntarily slowed. It was hard for her to breathe under this pressure.

If Narukami could knit his brows together. He would’ve done it albeit that only lasted a few seconds.

Following this, he said with a straight face, “interesting.”

If he said so with a smile, the impact would be great but his expression was stolen and came back randomly.

“This brat used me as he wished. I have to teach him I’m not his tool.” The voice was slightly hoarse and deep. It contained an ancient feeling to it.

‘Ryu’ looked around and fell his sight onto Narukami, Ryu smiled.

He didn’t say anything as he rushed to Narukami.

What is going on? Aren’t they friends? Why did Ryu suddenly attack him? Diana was a complete loss.

Two close friends attacked one another without warning. Additionally, they didn’t fight or argue with one another.

What’s the reason?

Ryu sent three consecutive attacks. One aimed at his face, one at his neck, and one at his chest.

Narukami tilted his face to the right as he avoided, he parried the second attack with his right arm and then leaped backward for the last one.

All of this happened within short seconds.

“Bahamut, go back to sleep or I’ll have to spank you like last time.” Narukami’s voice contained a bit of threat.

Bahamut? Diana caught his words and recited them in her mind.

She soon grasped what was going on but was not sure.

“Narukami, what’s going on?” Diana asked.

“Simple story short, Ryu had an inner beast in him and it woke up,” Narukami replied without shifting his attention to Diana.

“Brat, I promise you that I’ll kill you the moment I take over this body. It’s too late for regret!” Ryu howled as he dashed forward.

He left afterimages as he appeared beside Narukami. For Diana, it was as though Ryu had teleported but for Narukami, he saw Ryu approaching him.

As the prison’s corridor was narrow. It was hard to move around but Narukami didn’t mind this.

He accumulated thousands and thousands of battle experiences. He knew what he should do and should not do when fighting in this tight space.

“You underestimate me, Bahamut.”

In that instant, spiritual energy burst out like an explosion. Ryu’s body was stunned to the ground but his lips curved up.

Narukami’s figure was engulfed with purple lightning. His eyes glowed brightly as the stars. His hair shot upwards as lightning snakes flickered.

Above the underground prison, all the members felt something dangerous coming beneath them that they kneeled.

Their instinct immediately spammed them to run away yet they couldn’t. Their legs already had turned to jelly.

Even the higher echelons felt terrified to the ground. They subconsciously forget to breathe, let alone the members with average strength.

Some of them even lost consciousness and one by one plopped to the ground like fallen leaves.

The prisoners were no exception. Their eyes rolled back and some spat out blood. Their bodies were already weak so in consideration of this, it was like their back carried ten tons of steel in a sack.

Bahamut quickly rushed forward to Narukami. The latter was calm despite the sharp killing intent locked onto him.

Diana was amazed by Narukami’s calmness. For her, he was like a small boat facing the storm in the sea.

This was due to the fact Narukami’s aura was inferior compared to Ryu.

Little did Diana know this was Narukami’s action. He protected her from feeling his aura, as he needed her to know how powerful he was so that she respected him.

Frankly, he was bragging about his power.

I need to gather as many stronger Sorcerers, after all, if I didn’t show my strength, they would not heed to my words, let alone follow me, Narukami thought to himself.

The strong were respected. That was an unwritten rule in every world.

The two experts then clashed. Sparks flew out as they exchanged blows in fluid animation.

The ground shook even greater as time passed. Ryu and Narukami didn’t hold back at all.

This was the first time she saw a fight this great. Each blow they dealt caused an explosion of spiritual energy.

The ground they stood slowly caved in, forming a crater.

The bulky man was unconscious as he just got a good punch on his head. Bahamut’s strength was not something one should underestimate.

The bulky man’s nose caved in and he looked like a certain monkey. It plummeted his appearance greatly and Bahamut did not care.

Each second passed felt like years for the prisoners. They just wished these two would fight somewhere else. They were anxious as cracks began to spread on the ceiling, seemingly about to crumble.

At this rate, this place is going to be destroyed, I need to get out of here, he thought to himself.

Narukami was aware of the effects. Not even fifteen seconds after the fight took place, the prison had begun showing signs of crumbling.

He was not a cold-blooded person. If there was a chance to save thousands of people. He wouldn’t hesitate but if he had to choose between saving the entire world or killing someone he cared. He would not hesitate to choose the first option.

Narukami kicked Ryu into the sky. He knew very well how tough Ryu’s body was so he didn’t hold back.

A loud thud could be heard and Ryu tossed to the sky as he crashed through the floors.

Ryu, or rather Bahamut at this point, couldn’t stabilize himself.

This was because before he had the chance, Narukami leaped at him as he did another round of kicking.

Bahamut did not let Narukami do as he wished. His body was swallowed by a bright flame as it danced.

He looked like the God of fire. Bahamut shot flames at Narukami. Its temperature exceeded more than thousands of celsius.

Narukami was not troubled by it. He blocked the upcoming attacks by sending lightning arrows.

They came in contact and exploded. Narukami didn’t pause his momentum and gradually closed their distance as he passed through the explosion.

Bahamut laughed before diving in. Two rays of light came to each other and as they met. They came to a halt and seconds later, the red ray of light tossed to the sky, and the blue one chased after it.

With the two of them gone.

The underground prison became silent as if nothing had happened. The ceiling had a large gap and Diana foolishly stared at the two distant figures fighting in the air.

Diana quickly came to her senses and stopped the crack with her Pyro element.

Shortly thereafter, Diana reevaluated Narukami. He was not as weak as she thought. Instead, it was Ryu who tossed around like a ragdoll!

That aside, she then pondered what her next move was going to be. From the start, they came this way to enter a secret room but sometimes, plans didn’t go well as one expected.

Should she have ventured into this secret passage and entered this secret room? But she hesitated as she didn’t know the risk.
