Bottom A, Top O - Chapter 110
In an office of Fallen Nightless HQ.
“What?! More than fifteen underground floors were destroyed and you people didn’t manage to capture them?!” A woman’s voice rang out in the air as she was infuriated.
These people are so unreliable! The woman added in her heart.
The room had five people. Their heads cast downward as they fear the woman’s gaze.
Someone before her said, “We got some data and it showed they are around the peak of Level 8. Except for the elites, we couldn’t face them.”
The woman wore a pondering expression as she caressed her chin.
“The elite troops are away on a mission.. The only ones who guard this place are the Commander, Hawk, and a few Sorcerer at Level 8.
“Sigh, where’s the Commander and Hawk? What are they undoing in such a situation?!”
Problems coming one after another, can’t I have a good day? Here I am, thinking I could catch up with the drama series I haven’t watched for many years.
“They are organizing the troops.”
“The troops, ah right. I’ve heard one of the intruders kill most of our troops. Is It possible this intruder also destroyed the floors?”
“Yes,” the person nodded.
The woman’s eyes lit up in excitement. She got up off of her seat and left the room, leaving the people inside stunned silly.
For her, this intruder was more interesting than floors being destroyed. Although she hated the fact that the intruder does what they want without being caught, it would be a lie if she didn’t want to meet them and have a fierce dance with them.
If only I could make this to serve us. An idea surfaced from her mind and she anticipated for such a thing to happen
Not only would her position rise, but she would also contribute a lot to this organization. Thus seizing more resources for her to advance her Level.
She had been in her bottleneck for more than two hundred years.
It’s time for me to advance! The woman said in high spirit.

Narukami arrived before a wall and he put his hand on it. He poured out a strand of his spiritual energy as it scanned the wall.
The structure of the wall surfaced in his mind and as he will his spiritual energy to venture deeper into the wall, he sensed something flowed in and out of a tiny passageway.
The size was rather small, only a little boy could enter it. As long as the boy crouched and ventured deeper, it would not be a problem.
But Ryu couldn’t enter.
Should I let Ryu guard here and I’m the one who enters it? Narukami pondered to himself and decided that it might be best.
Originally, he wanted to let Ryu enter the passageway as a form of training.
Lately, he didn’t meet any strong Sorcerer and powerful Anomalies ran away as soon as they discovered Ryu’s flame.
Its source was from Bahamut after all. That beast’s presence was like a disgusting stench that turned away any beasts, but this time they ran away as they were afraid.
Without saying much, Narukami changed his body to that of a toddler. His clothes were made of special material so they wouldn’t loosen.
It would fit Narukami no matter what body he was in.
“What are you doing?” Ryu asked.
“The passageway is too small for me to enter with my regular height.”
“Would it be okay? There should be traps in it.”
“I would be okay. My recovery speed is abnormally fast.” Narukami assured him as he sent a powerful electric shock to the wall.
The wall trembled before finally exploding. It resisted for three seconds by the way.
Just as Narukami was in a crawling position and about to enter the passageway. He felt a powerful vibration coming from behind!
Narukami halted whatever he wanted to as he raised his body and looked at the source of the commotion.
Dust filled the air as it slowly scattered. However, it vanished as a strong wind exploded from deep inside the cloud of dust.
Woosh!
Ryu closed his eyes so as to prevent dust from entering his eyes while Narukami expressionlessly watched.
His body was constantly protected by electric particles. As soon as dust entered its ranger, it rebounded.
Narukami’s hair wildly swayed and the same thing happened to Ryu.
After the wind settled down, Narukami saw a woman with a seducing face and an alluring figure.
She was a great beauty that every man would fall in love with after a simple look.
“You’re the guy who destroyed those floors?” The woman asked with a laid-back, kind of tone.
“You seem to be calm.” Narukami thought this woman was infuriated.
“I did but because it means more work for me. As you see, I’m overseeing everything that happens in the underground and with heavy damage that you cause.
“I have a lot of work! I’ll make you serve me because of what you did” She pointed her finger to Ryu.
“It’s too late for regret!” She yelled as she smiled.
Ryu wore a strange and confused expression. Wasn’t she talking with Narukami? Yet why did she point her finger at him?
“You talk to the wrong person, he’s the one who has been talking with you,” Ryu said awkwardly as he pointed his finger to the toddler like Narukami.
“… Eh?” The woman was so stunned that she could only utter that sound. She felt humiliated and felt this was a deliberate act of them to humiliate her!
Yes, that must be the case!
“How dare you trick me!” She screamed and a red energy wave came at them wave by wave.
If Narukami could frown, his brows would be knitted together that it would almost come in contact.
It’s a psychic attack! Narukami got a bad feeling. He might be fine but the same couldn’t be told to Ryu.
Although he had Bahamut in his body. That bastard refused in any form to help its vessel and Ryu entered the mysticism world a few months ago.
He had no way to protect himself against psychic attacks. Especially the one that specialized in attacking one’s mind.
This b!tch appeared to be that.
“Are you Rivna?” Narukami asked as he touched Ryu’s shoulder and protected him with electric particles.
“You know about me? Then this might be faster. Surrender me, brat. You know my power and I doubt your weak element could protect you.”
“We’ll see.” Narukami’s voice was calm.
“Acting tough, eh? I can’t wait for your expression when you realize it’s futile to fight me.”
Narukami ignored her as he stabilized the electric particles that had formed around Ryu.
Ordinary electric particles might be useless against this kind o f attack but Narukami’s was different.
As soon as Rivna used her attack, Narukami quickly put some effect into it so he could withstand her attack.
The lightning particles protecting them were invisible to the naked eye but upon closer look, it showed that there were more than billions of particles rapidly moving around their body.
Ryu could feel a sense of security despite couldn’t see what was protecting him.
He was nervous when he met with such an attack. Especially so after Bahamut tells him about the side effects of Rivna’s psychic attack.
“Thank you,” Ryu said with a smile and Narukami nodded as he retracted his gaze to Rivna.
Her mouth agape that a fly could mistake it for a cave and enter it for a rest. Her eyes were open wide that they could fall off their sockets at any moment.
“How…” She was in disbelief and shocked. Then it was replaced with anger.
“I’ll kill you!” She let out a battle cry as she used different types of psychic attacks but before Narukami’s electric particles, it was like different types of arrows such as poison, explosion, corrosive arrow shooting at a tank.
Regardless, Narukami planned to end this quickly.
Rivna’s expression turned ugly when she saw Narukami move closer to her. Her high Level wasn’t for a show, she could defend against Narukami in close combat and flee once in a while.
However, that only lasted shortly. Narukami specialized in close-range combat. In consideration of the battle experiences, he had accumulated throughout his past lives.
It was like an adult bullying a toddler that barely knew anything. It felt… Unexpectedly good.
Probably because his opponent this time was a beautiful woman and bullying her was no different than a tease.
But the difference here was that. A single mishap and she was dead. Narukami didn’t hesitate to kill a woman even though the latter was abnormally beautiful that any man would give everything to her.
“If you admit defeat, I will stop,” Narukami suddenly said.
“You said that just to lower my guard. Do you think I would fall before such a trick?”
“I could’ve killed you many times before. Why do I have to use tricks?”
