Bottom A, Top O - Chapter 114
Her body slightly trembled. She felt complicated inside.
“Can I change my mind?”
“No,” Narukami shook his head as he quickly replied.
Rivna exuded a long sigh. Since it came to this, she had no choice. In consideration that she had nowhere to go, staying with Narukami temporarily might give her some clues about what she wanted to do next.
Though, she was a bit uncertain if Narukami was going to let her stay by his side temporarily.
“Can I leave after destroying All Beyond?” Rivna pondered.
“Sure, that’s my plan from the start..” Narukami nodded.
Rivna heaved a sigh of relief inside.
Just like that, she dropped everything regarding leaving Narukami. If she insisted on it, she doubted that would work.
Narukami could use force when that happened and she was no masochist!
“You trapped me,” Rivna suddenly said, displeased as she pouted her cheek.
“Did I? I don’t remember.” Narukami pretended to be ignorant and Rivna felt helpless inside.
Narukami contemplated. Instead of removing the time bomb, he glued it on his back and carried it around.
Now how should I get rid of Rivna? Narukami pondered.
Killing her? Too extreme, chase her away? It only ruined his image.
“Rivna, we shall split up. It might be dangerous for us to stick together.” Narukami suggested as he looked at Rivna.
“Aren’t you afraid that I might run away?” Rivna asked.
“You are not. I could find your location easily,” Narukami calmly replied.
He had already remembered Rivna’s scent so it was the same as putting a tracking device on her. A quite efficient and hard-to-remove tracking device.
Rivna felt uncomfortable upon hearing his reply. Wasn’t that mean every move she made was being watched? Where’s her privacy then?!
As if reading her mind, he said in assurance, “don’t worry, I know only your location. Not watching you through a camera.”
“Then I’m relieved, wait. That’s not good at all!”
“We’ll meet again.” Narukami turned his body around as he quickened his pace. Each second passed was precious. The Leader probably cooked up some plan as he watched them from far away and if Narukami’s speculation was not wrong.
The Leader could only watch Rivna’s movements instead of him and as they were together, the Leader could see Narukami.
So by splitting up. It was no different than distracting an enemy’s drone away.
“Hey, wait! How should I know the meet point?…” Before Rivna could complete her sentence, Narukami had already vanished from her sight.
Why is he in a hurry? Rivna frowned as she asked herself.
She put the matter aside and wondered where she should go. He said to split up but she had no idea where to go.
Looking at the space ring, an idea came into her as she let out a bright smile.

The Leader had noticed his presence. All of the elite members probably retreated from their missions to deal with him.
Narukami used a different face so the Leader wouldn’t know if he was a Sorcerer from All Beyond.
But Narukami believed the Leader assumed him as his other identity, which was Sixth.
In the office, the Leader of Fallen Nightless sat on his chair as he looked at the holographic screen before him.
He watched every scene relating to the intruder who was brazen enough to enter and had yet to be captured.
The Leader was calm instead of infuriated. He was interested in the individual who dared to enter his lair and even made a ruckus.
As he rested his chin on his hand and his right leg on top of his left thigh, he softly muttered to himself.
“A powerful Sorcerer which could control Electro element proficiently, as well as Dark element. I’ve searched for someone with that face but did not find anyone, there’s only one person fit here.
“Sixth.” The Leader smiled as a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
He had no idea why Sixth would intrude on his HQ. Fallen Nightless never got to the bad side of Sixth so there was only one reason.
Probably All Beyond secretly contacted Sixth to destroy us, the Leader said to himself and felt this made sense.
As far as he knew about Sixth. This mysterious figure was rarely involved in matters between organizations like them and did as he pleased except for certain situations.
Such as facing the Dragon anomaly which out of the blue appeared in the middle of the city. It didn’t have anything to do with them but All Beyond was persistent that it was all Fallen Nightless doing.
They were right but the entire wasn’t their fault, they only involved only a small part. There was someone in the background.
“Don’t think you can run away just yet, Sixth,” the Leader sneered as he watched Narukami run away.
It was played on the holographic scene before him.
Indeed, Narukami’s speculation wasn’t wrong. The Leader put some kind of skill to Rivna so as to watch every move she made and when Rivna made contact with Narukami.
The Leader quickly shifted the target to Narukami.
Run, run, little boy, the Leader mocked as his smile became wide.
Quickly afterward, the Leader noticed something strange. His eyes narrowed.
Without wasting time, he tapped the air and the air rippled as though the water. Shortly thereafter, a bunch of floating scenes surrounds him.
This was his lair, not a single thing could escape from him! He could monitor everyone as long as they were inside the HQ.
Of course, it was almost impossible to do so with Narukami and his gang. Narukami put some kind of anti-tracking into Asahi and Ryu, making them impossible to be monitored.
The Leader was aware of this. As the entire HQ was being monitored by him, he could see past footage and so, he rewinds to the scene where Narukami and Ryu entered the main hall and massacred more than 80% of the people there.
As the Leader reviewed the footage, Ryu and Narukami’s figure was covered in black as if they were censored.
This was the effect of anti-tracking.
The Leader coldly snorted, “you think this is enough to stop me?”
Nothing was perfect. This included techniques. The Leader could remove the anti-tracking albeit took a few minutes but the Leader was patient.
He expected this as who he was against was Sixth. It was truly unfortunate, however, the Leader couldn’t remove the anti-tracking on the figure next to Ryu.
It was covered with layers. It might take years to uncover the real face of the figure so the Leader had no choice but to ignore it.
“I guess this is Sixth’s real face, which means this boy next to him is someone close to him?” The Leader guessed and nodded to himself as he was certain it was that way.
“Just because you hide it, does not mean we cannot figure out who you are. Don’t you know there are always alternate paths to solve a problem?
“You underestimate me, Sixth.” A trace of ridicule in his eyes.
.
.
.
Oh yes, I underestimated you, Narukami softly muttered. He knew what was going on.
Although the Leader was ten times stronger than him, it didn’t mean Narukami was afraid to pull off some tricks.
As soon as he felt someone was watching, he silently looked for the source and detected an eye in another dimension, staring at him without blinking.
Through this eye, Narukami sent one of his ones back to the Leader. The Leader’s position was unknown but to Narukami, it was easy to find it.
While others probably think finding the Leader was no different than finding a needle in a haystack, Narukami used a powerful magnet to find that needle.
Ignoring the weird analogy for a second, the point was, Narukami found where the Leader was thanks to the eyeball.
In short, they were watching each other’s backs with one oblivious that his position had already been noticed by another party.
This is Narukami’s advantage, he knew all of the Fallen Nightless’ next plans were the moment he monitored their leader.
This was like a stream snipe.
As Narukami didn’t show any odd behavior. The Leader still believed that Narukami hadn’t noticed he was being watched.
Anyway, with his goal achieved. Narukami went back to Ryu.
The Leader knew he had a close relationship with him. The Leader was not going to hesitate to kidnap Ryu to find out Narukami’s real face.
But this works too on Narukami’s side. All this time, he and Ryu were on a passive side and with Ryu as the bait, Narukami could wipe out anyone who dared to mess with them.
It made it easier for him to clean the trash without moving around.
Before he went to his side, however, Narukami warned Ryu to be careful. As well as Asahi.
A few seconds ago, the Leader noticed Asahi and was excited. Narukami didn’t know what it meant but it appeared Asahi was someone special for the Leader.
“Ryu, Asahi. The Leader of this fanatic cult has already set their eyes on you guys,” Narukami warned through spiritual transmission and their expressions became solemn.
