Bottom A, Top O - Chapter 137

“No, He fled.” Hikari shook her head.

Haru wore a bewildered look as he said to himself, He left? A god ran away from the battlefield?

With that thought, a wide smile plastered on his face as he clenched his fist on victory.

“We did it!” Haru said out loud excitedly. It felt like a dream, beating a god’s vessel and making it run away!

“It’s all thanks to him though, we barely do anything.” Yeanne forced out a smile.

“Yeah, I’m impressed that a human could make a deity flee from the battle. I can’t even do that,” Haru said in a self-deprecating manner.

“Being a genius sure is nice. They can do anything and everything, I hope I am one” Haru added with a voice filled with envy.

“I’m pretty sure you just want to be lazy around.” Yeanne guessed and Haru chuckled.

“We should go back before the Sorcerer sees us. See you later, Yeanne.” Haru waved his hands as his body turned to particles of light before shooting up to the sky with his body changed to a white ray of light.

Yeanne nodded as she agreed, “We should go too, Hikari-san.”

However, Hikari shook her head, “you don’t have to wait, there are more things I have to take care of here.”

Yeanne wore a slightly disappointed look as she said, “I see, that’s too bad. See you later.”

Hikari nodded in response.

Then, Yeanne turned into a white ray of light as she shot up to the sky like fireworks.

As soon as they vanished from sight, a dark bud appeared out of thin air. It then opened, revealing a person inside.

“Welcome back, Master,” Hikari greeted Narukami politely as she slightly bowed.

“Yo,” Narukami slightly raised his right hand in greeting as he walked towards Hikari. Stopping by her side.

“The deity suffers defeat, the Leader is dead. This way, the mission could be considered as completed, right?” Narukami asked.

“But Master, I suggest you kill the upper echelons and elites of the Fallen Nightless. Another new Fallen Nightless might form.” Hikari recommended it and Narukami shook his head.

“No need, what She said is to annihilate Fallen Nightless. Not the ideology behind it. If we want to make sure another organization like Fallen Nightless doesn’t exist. That might be impossible, as long as there are people, there’s only trouble.

“If I kill the upper echelons or the elite members, one of them might have the strength to build an entirely new organization like Fallen Nightless but with a different name.

“Simply put, Her task is to annihilate the current Fallen Nightless. Not the next one after that and we already did it.

“With their Leader and deity in him running away, it’s a good blow to them,” Narukami explained. Hikari listened attentively and understood.

“However, to make sure the organization is really erased. Let’s kill the entire upper echelons and one to two elites,” said Narukami.

Although what he just said was contrary to what he said earlier. There was still the possibility that the organization still stood even though their leader was dead.

To make all risks zero, it was safe to do this.

“Okay,” Hikari nodded as her body turned to a flash of light before vanishing from the spot. The same goes for Narukami but he was engulfed by a black bud.

In the Fallen Nightless HQ meeting room. Rows of chairs were surrounding a round table. The atmosphere was solemn as no one talked.

“I’ve got the news. Our Lord’s vessel ran away from the battle and His whereabouts are unknown,” a man reported as his head looked down.

“What?! Where did you get this information! It must be a fake! How dare you put down our Lord! Someone go execute him, Now!” An old man with white hair, a rough voice yelled as he was furious.

The man who reported flustered, “It’s the truth! I have my source of information and it’s trustworthy! Have I not told all of you the right information all this time? Why would I have to lie in times like this?!”

Why indeed. His argument made sense.

After a long pause, one of them continued the discussion.

“If the news is to spread. It would be bad for the organization. The believers will lose their faith and goal. The Lord descended but not with His body, rather into a vessel.

“We can consider this as completing one of our main goals. Forgive for my next words are blunt, although He got defeated, He is out there. We should lay low until He comes back.”

If the organization survived the calamity they got now and choose to not stand out, waiting for Armageddon to return.

The organization might prosper once more. With their deity by their side, it could be much more than that.

Perhaps, they could reset the world!

All the upper echelons had the same thought but there were some doubts in their heart.

After all, the reality was not as smooth as they might think.

“The strongest Sorcerers from the five major organizations are heading this way. Right now they are in a stalemate as our elite members face them but it’s only a matter of time before it breaks.”

Unlike Fallen Nightless who had their resources running low and the morale of the members dropped considerably. The Sorcerers on the other side were much better.

Although a single member of the Fallen Nightless could defeat ten people of the same Level, only those at Level 8. Above that is impossible. It was quite hard for a single person to face ten Sorcerers at Level 9.

The organizations used numbers to cover their weakness!

“We cannot wait for a miracle. We must evacuate now!” The old man with a rough voice ordered.

“Are you saying we abandon them? They are working hard for us and we leave them to rot?”

“Are you crazy?! They are nurtured for many years and have used valuable resources! We’re throwing away our many years of hard work! Please reconsider this, Elder Drey!”

The elite members were trained from when they were young and hypnotized so as to prevent betrayal and be loyal to them until their death.

Furthermore, they were nurtured, and it was no joke how expensive and time-consuming it was.

They were valuable weapon assets for the organization! It was a waste should they abandon them!

“Shut your mouth! This is what they are for! We can find human weapons like them anytime and with our Lord by our side. The loss we had now will be replaced!” Elder Drey retorted as he had already got up from his seat and opened a secret passageway to the ground, hidden beneath a green statue of a woman elf with both hands raised, there were two orbs above her hands.

The left one was a black orb and the right one was gold.

Before this statue moved, the wall behind it transformed into an empty spot and so, the statue went in as it revealed the secret passageway, Elder Drey poured his spiritual energy into the two orbs.

There was a specific amount of spiritual energy he had to pour. Exceeding it or not, the secret passageway would not open.

It has to be precise.

The two orbs change colors, black to red as blood and gold to white as jade. After which, the statue moved on its own to the side.

Btw, the statue was on the corner. Along with many statues like it. Next to the elf lady was an orc with battle armor and an axe, next was a little girl with an emotionless face yet her eyes glowing red and so on, so forth.

There were about ten statues of different races.

Elf, orc, robot, humanoid dragon with scales covering part of his skin, a catgirl, wolf girl, fox girl, humanoid demon, a magical girl dressed in a cute dress, and last but not least, a man wearing a dark robe, he looked like an ancient magician with his pointy hat and robe reaching his legs.

They were placed from left to right respectively in different positions.

These were the ten dark angels under Armageddon’s command. Their power and strength were on a completely different scale and should one fight with Narukami.

The latter were either badly injured or dead. Low chance of running away. His angels were ten times more powerful than His vessel.

Seeing the upper echelons were hesitating, Elder Drey pressed.

“Our lives are more important! If we live, the organization remains! Do you people want our hard work of blood and sweat to come to waste?!”

The room descended into silence as they pondered with a rather solemn face.

Elder Drey did not wait for their decision. Even though he wanted most of the upper echelons to survive, he valued his life more.

With the current situation, every second matters.. If the one who caused this mess was an ordinary Sorcerer, perhaps Elder Drey would not be as panicked and terrified as he was right now.
