Bottom A, Top O - Chapter 127
After the Leader’s bones were broken. It gradually recovered before returning to normal. This sudden act of Narukami surprised the Leader but soon, he realized what Narukami was planning.
Right after his body recovered, the corpses continued what it was doing earlier and this time, more cruel and painful as it involved many torturing tools.
The Leader had no idea where these corpses got those but his time here would be miserable.
The Leader did not say anything as he prepared himself for another round of pain.
.
.
As the torture began, Narukami had nothing to do after he commanded these corpses what to do.
With the Leader in his hands, he successfully reached one of the steps to destroy Fallen Nightless.
But before doing the next step, Narukami was wondering what it meant by annihilating Fallen Nightless.
Was it to destroy their HQ? No, the HQ was only a place, what was important was the members.
Where there were people, there were troubles and this was the confusing part. Should Narukami kill all of the Fallen Nightless members?
Conducting a cleaning for the members without batting an eye, not leaving single fish.
This would be hard and felt not that efficient.
Most efficient would be to kill the Leader in front of his members and upper echelons, Narukami thought to himself and knew this was a good idea.
However, he then remembered that other secret organizations must not know that he was the one who did this.
Pinching his chin, he fell in deep thought.
Finally, after five minutes to be precise, Narukami nodded himself as he reached an answer.
“It’s decided, I’ll do that.” Narukami stood from his seat, command the corpses to intensify the torture and make sure the head was conscious.
After that, he left his Illusion Realm as his figure vanished and appeared in the outside world.
Next to him was a giant, black cube which ignored the wall, ceiling, and ground. This was precisely the Illusion Realm.
Narukami poked it a few times and it rippled like water. He made sure that it was thick enough that it couldn’t be destroyed from the outside.
“Asahi, you’re alive?” Narukami asked through spiritual transmission.
“Yeah, I’m alright. That aside, where am I, Narukami-san?” Asahi asked, then pondered solemnly, “How about Sera? Is she okay? That guy that is about to attack me, who is he?”
Just remember that guy appeared out of thin air and lunged at him. He felt lingering fear in his heart. He can imagine where he got bitten on the neck but what happened next was something he couldn’t imagine!
If he tried to force it, he ended up shivering and forced himself to think of other things.
“That’s the Leader of the Fallen Nightless. He’s scary, isn’t he?” Said Narukami.
“Yeah, I can tell.” His voice was solemn.
“No need to be that serious. I’ve captured the bas*ard who had been bullying you.”
Asahi fell silent as he could not say anything. No, in truth he had a lot of things to say in his mind but he could only squeeze out, “Thank you.”
His voice was filled with deep gratitude and simultaneously, he was smiling brightly.
Tears fell. Remembering the suffering he had to go through and the fact he reached this point, alive and well. He couldn’t be happier but he would be lying if he did not want the person who caused all of his suffering to not get anything back.
Unfortunately, he had no power and was weak. So upon learning Narukami had done something he could not do, he was thankful and subconsciously vowed himself to do everything for Narukami, even if the latter told him to sacrifice himself, he would not hesitate.
“Don’t cry, idiot,” Narukami said playfully.
Asahi got himself together as he swept away the tears with his sleeve and said with eyes filled with strong determination, “Narukami-san, once again, thank you!”
He bowed himself.
Narukami felt pleasant to hear someone show their gratitude.
I guess gaining material benefits can’t be compared to this, Narukami thought to himself.
“You two should get out of here,” said Narukami as he teleported to where Sera was.
Sera was startled and did not bother with her expression or say a word to her. Narukami quickly brought Asahi here. He appeared next to him.
Asahi felt his vision change again, as well as losing his footing, and shortly thereafter, he regained these two things. He looked around.
He saw Sera then Narukami.
“Asahi, thank god you’re alive.” Sera heaved a sigh of relief.
Hey, hey, how about me? Narukami silently pondered.
Asahi nodded to Sera before shifting his line of sight to Narukami. With the latter’s image in his heart as high as the sun, Asahi looked at Narukami with admiration and respect.
Then, he hesitated before requesting, “Narukami-san, could you turn my friend back to normal?”
Sera was furious as she said, “Does that mean you’ve seen me as abnormal?” She let out a cold hmph before looking away with her arms crossed.
“Also, how can he fix me, anyway?” Sera asked curiously.
“You’ll see,” Asahi replied ambiguously and Sera did not say any longer.
Narukami could help her regain her original state. It’s easier as if walking in the park. It’s just that Narukami did not want to be a walking healing potion in the eyes of others.
“You have to do something for me, is that clear?” Narukami asked.
“Yes, I will do anything. Please turn her back to her beautiful normal self, I did not mind the current her but I would like her more if she recovered from her current state,” he replied with a straight face and seriously.
Sera was blushing as she turned her head around.
How did this guy say it so smoothly and without being embarrassed? Narukami said inwardly, a bit impressed.
“Okay, your name is Sera, right. Open your mouth.” Narukami bit his thumb.
She was incredibly curious how Narukami was going to turn her back but she was stunned when she saw that.
Hesitated and filled with doubt, Sera averted her line of sight to Asahi. The latter nodded as if saying it’s okay.
Sera believed Asahi’s judgement and opened her mouth.
Narukami moved his thumb above her mouth and let it fall.
The thick, red blood which filled with rich life energy went into her tongue, all the way into her stomach.
The energy spread out as her body greedily absorbed it. Her arm went back to normal, it turned from pale to lustrous, white skin which exuded youth.
Her other eye was no different.
It all happened within short seconds that Sera could not believe what had happened.
Narukami grabbed a mirror from his space shadow and gave it to Sera.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Sera was thrilled with happiness. She had the urge to hop a few times like a rabbit.
Her heart was beating crazily even as we spoke.
His eyes were filled with gratitude to Narukami, as well as to Asahi.
Although she had a lot of things to say, she reorganized her words, bowed as she said, “thank you very much, Narukami-san.”
“Right, Narukami-san, you’re talking about leaving.”
“Yeah, there’s nothing left for you here either.”
Asahi nodded, “How should we get out?”
Hearing that, Sera’s eyes lit up. She was sick of this place and wanted to leave as soon as possible! His legs were itching!
“Teleportation,” Narukami said.
Asahi moved his head up and down as he nodded, understood.
“How about you, Narukami-san?” Asahi blurted out.
“I’m staying. There’s something I must do. Well then, see you later.”
Right after he said so, Narukami snapped his finger. Beneath their feet, two black flowers rise their petals and engulf their figure. Asahi and Sera were swallowed by them and vanished as it came.
With that, Narukami teleported to where Ryu was.
He then approached him, letting him swallow a drop of blood. He quickly regained his consciousness.
“Naru…Kami?” Ryu asked with a long pause in the middle of his sentence.
“Yeah, how’s your doing?” Narukami asked.
“Feels like sh*t. I cannot feel my legs and arms. Damn it, why must Bahamut go as reckless as facing you?”
Narukami shrugged his shoulders, “I don’t know what monsters are thinking. Why don’t you ask him?”
Ryu shook his head, “Bahamut’s soul is quite weak. He’s in hibernation. I cannot use my power as powerfully as before.”
Bahamut and Ryu’s power was heavily connected. If anything happened to Bahamut, Ryu would be affected.
“You need to rest for the next few days then.” Narukami’s voice was calm.
“You’re not mad?” Ryu pondered.
Narukami let out a rare chuckle, “why would I? You’re heavily injured. I would be a monster if I forced you to complete missions.”
“Then I’m relieved.” Ryu smiled as he continued, if there’s nothing, I’m going to go to sleep, feeling… really tired…”
A single drop of blood was not enough to fix Ryu to his peak.. A complete difference from Sera who was a normal human being.
