Bottom A, Top O - Chapter 125

Asahi said as he reassured her, “Don’t worry. They would not come, I’ve taken care of them.”

“Really?” Sera expressed her doubts.

“Yes, what? You still don’t believe it? Didn’t I always fulfill my promise?” Asahi said.

Hearing that, Sera was touched and her eyes filled with warmth as she smiled with teary eyes “Yes, you are always fulfilling your promise.”

Just imagining the pain she had been through these few days, it was torturing and she almost lost her hope.

If not for Asahi’s promise. She probably succumbed to despair and lost all hope.

But, she had to admit though, she didn’t believe in Asahi’s promise at all but as that was the only thing that made her alive, she could only hold onto it.

Seeing him fulfilling his promise, Asahi’s image in her heart rose as it could pierce through the heavens.

“Thank you, thank you. Asahi,” she smiled with tears falling. She swept her tears with her sleeve, her sleeve was wet in the end.

Asahi did not say anything as she cried. Instead, he broke the prison with a single punch of his right arm.

Although the glass was thick, before his power, it was like breaking through a blob of tofu.

Fortunately, there are no supernatural protective measurements here, Asahi silently heaved a sigh of relief.

He did not know why there were none but it was beneficial for him. He had no complaints.

If Asahi had to make a guess. Probably they were confident that no one was going to infiltrate the HQ and enter this place. With this thought, Asahi felt this was indeed the case.

It’s possible, the Fallen Nightless HQ is hard to find and no one dares to infiltrate it even if they found it. Only a bunch of idiots could do that, really wondering if those idiots existed, Asahi shook his head as he unknowingly mocked himself.

“Asahi, your right arm.” Sera was terrified as her expression was pale.

“Oh, this.” Asahi did not know how he should explain it. Sera probably had her guess on her own yet she didn’t say anything.

Asahi was more or less understood. Sera is afraid that talking about the topic, might remind Asahi of painful memories when he was here.

Asahi willed it and his arm changed to normal. Sera was shocked, “This, I thought it’s permanent.”

Asahi chuckled, “I rather ampu– cough! Cough!”

In the middle of his sentence, Asahi noticed that Sera’s body changed drastically. One could see her right arm was pale, skinny, and dry while the other let out a lustrous vibe.

Her left eye was different. Her right eye was like any other human’s while the other was constructed like a snake and its color was ember.

To not make the other party feel ashamed of her body, Asahi made the right decision of not finishing his sentence!

Being stared at by him for a few seconds straight. Sera was embarrassed but realizing her appearance, she lost her confidence in her body.

She turned away.

For a woman. The appearance was everything, more or less as important as their life.

“Come on, let’s get away from here.” Asahi reached out his hand as it went through the giant hole he created.

Hesitated, she said, “On second thought, I’m going to stay here.”

Asahi frowned, “Why?”

“With my current look. What do you think others will think aside from I’m a freak? If I get out of here, insults and mocks would be a daily thing, bullying if not. I would not be able to endure it, I’m scared, Asahi.”

Her body trembled as she hugged herself.

“Don’t worry, I’m here. You’re not as bad as you think. You’re still beautiful. If that’s not assuring you, I know someone who could change you back.”

Sera’s body moved slightly. She then turned her body to him as her eyes sparkled in anticipation, “really? There is someone who could do that?

“Wait, does that mean you hate my current look? Do you want me to change that much? You said that I was beautiful, what a lie!

“All boys are the same!” Sera slapped his hand and left the prison angrily.

Asahi blinked confusedly as he pondered to himself, What just going on? Why is she angry? I didn’t say anything wrong though…

He sighed in resignation as he gave up figuring out what the other party was thinking.

He shifted his attention to the others who were locked up.

He approached one of them and prepared a punch. His right hand changed. It looked like a gorilla arm attached to him, the only thing different was that there was no fur and the color was pale white.

Bam!

The person in the prison was dazed despite the commotion Asahi caused.

Just as Asahi was about to help this stranger to gain freedom, he was stopped as someone patted his shoulder

“Asahi, it’s useless. That guy had lost all hope. His body is alive but his mind isn’t.”

It was coming from Sera.

“But I want to save him,” Asahi said as he was unwilling.

“Asahi, I understand your feeling but letting him into the outside world does not make him any better. He had lost all reasons to live.

“Ever since you escaped. We thought that we had a chance and had hoped but then, they stimulated our brain with strange technology, and we became more depressed and fell in despair.

“All hope which sparked vanished as it came. Do you know how powerless we felt? Do you know the despair we felt when all hope vanished?”

Asahi had mixed emotions such as anger, hate, shame, regret, and helplessness. All emotions became inexplicable feelings that were hard to describe.

Not waiting for Asahi’s response, Sera continued, “the despair they felt is too strong and so, they chose themselves not letting hope in any form to spark in their heart, for they are afraid of falling into despair the second time.”

Asahi nodded as he grasped the situation, “I understand what’s going but Sera. I still don’t want to let them be.”

“Why are you so persistent? These people had nothing to do with you?”

“They have someone waiting for them! Do you know how I felt when you’re away? Disappear out of thin air? Do you know how worried I am?

“I don’t want others to feel the way I do. I am naive, I admit that but this is who I am. I don’t care what others think.

“There’s probably a lot of people like me in the world. I’m not special, unique, or talented but saving them is something that I must do!”

Sera was lost for words. How could she not? He said so solemnly and with strong resolution. There was no way she could persuade him!

She sighed helplessly as she shook her head, “I’m only suggesting, not telling you what to do. In the end, it’s you who decides it.

“If you want to save them, go ahead but you have to prepare for the worst.”

“Thanks, Sera! I know I fell for the right person!” Asahi said without thinking as he approached the man and talked with him.

On the other hand, Sera’s face was blushing. She was no different than a peach.

“Stupid.” She snuck out her tongue at him.

How should I help him? Asahi thought to himself and just as he was about to ponder.

“Kid, you done?” Narukami’s voice rang in his mind as he asked.

“Narukami-san? What’s wrong?” Ashai frowned.

“Prepare yourself, the Leader is chasing you and wants to eat you to recover his strength,” Narukami said solemnly.

“What?!” Asahi was shocked as he was petrified on the spot. His heart skipped.

His shout attracted Sera and as she was about to ask what was wrong, Sera’s eyes dilated as she saw someone come out of the thin air and lunged at Asahi!

“Asahi, behind you!”

Without her telling that, Asahi already felt an ominous feeling coming from behind him.

He reflexively dodged but it was too late. The Leader lunged at him with his mouth open and aimed it at his neck.

Time felt like slowing down. One might think it had stopped but that was not the case.

Is this the end? Just when I had saved her? I don’t even have the chance to confess to her! Damn it! Asahi cursed in his heart but suddenly.

“Simple Gesture: Swap.” Narukami’s voice sounded in his mind.

Before Asahi knew it, his vision shifted as he couldn’t feel his footing. Shortly thereafter, he felt his footing and he looked around in a daze.

“What just happened?” He was totally at a loss.

On the other hand, the Leader was stunned when Asahi’s figure disappeared and was replaced by Narukami!

His expression turned ugly as he was enraged.

“Sixth! I’ll kill you and everyone you love!” The Leader growled as he did not stop his momentum, continued his mouth to bite Narukami’s neck.

Despite this, Narukami was calm as he said, “Leader, you’re weaker than I thought. It seems I overestimated you, or rather. You underestimated me, it’s your fault.” Narukami tiled his body to the side and gave a good punch on the guy’s abdomen.

He was tossed like a ragdoll as he broke through walls after walls before stopping.

Narukami’s words weren’t wrong. The Leader was many times stronger than him but it’s just that he underestimated him.

Not use his full strength from the start but increased it, bit by bit.

Narukami used this to his advantage.

He knew the Leader’s loss was definite when he chose to face him without using his power to the limit.

As a being who had lived many times and still had his memories.

He knew a lot of things, starting from powerful magic, unfathomable martial arts, unrivaled cultivation techniques, and many others.

They did not disappear from his mind. He has a lot of things which was unknown to this world. With it, he could counter every situation he was in.

The most efficient way to kill Narukami was to kill him by surprise, not giving him the time to think!

A lethal and quick kill.. This was the only thing that could kill Narukami.
