Bottom A, Top O - Chapter 160

Though such occurrences were hard to come by.

“What are you?” He asked slowly as his senses get back to him and he prepares himself by circulating his spiritual energy.

His arms let out a white glow before it turned to armor. From a glance, it was an expensive armor as the carvings and three gems, red blue, and yellow respectively were embedded. It let out a certain aura that was inexplicable. If vaguely described, it should be the mix of grand and majestic.

Narukami briefly immersed with his arm armors but then, he felt it odd.

“Why only your arms?” Narukami pondered. His answer was replied through actions as Jericho moved towards him as he left a bunch of afterimages.

Narukami did not bother to move from his position. He just stood there with a calm look.

From an outsider’s perspective, Narukami had a lot of openings to a seasoned fighter like Jericho, Narukami had no openings at all.

His expression was calm which made him unpredictable. Again, his posture did not assume a fighting stance, it made Jericho enraged and a bit nervous.

Enraged because it was like Narukami looked down upon him and nervous because he could not find any openings no matter how hard he scanned Narukami again and again.

As Jericho was a few meters away from Narukami, he changed his tactic by moving around Narukami at a speed far faster than the last time.

He stopped once in a while before picking up his speed again.

You could hear the wind whistling each time Jericho moved again after he stopped. He was akin to a spring in a tight space.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Narukami’s eyes did not move despite Jericho’s speed beyond the speed of sound.

Feeling that he confused Narukami by flying here and there like an annoying cockroach, Jericho stopped and attacked from behind.

Narukami did not hurriedly react as his face was facing forward. Jericho smiled as he could launch an attack!

Suddenly, something happened when he was three meters away from Narukami.

“You did well,” said Narukami abruptly as he instantly turned his head with a calm look. Yes, his toe was facing forward.

Jericho could hear Narukami’s neck produce cracking noises and Jericho was startled as he instinctively let out a terrified shriek and his pale went pale.

His attacks lost their strength because of this.

He had seen something terrifying than this but this was something new and it was too sudden. He did not get used to jumping scare either so it was not weird for him to be this terrified.

In the next instant, a lightning palm formed above Jericho, and like a fly, he got crushed while at the same time his body received a stinging and burning sensation.

He immediately lost his consciousness as his eyes rolled back. His mouth was agape as he let out one last shout of pain.

“Argh!”

With the palm hitting the ground, it was obvious it would make palm print on it with Jericho’s charred black figure in the center.

Black smoke came out of his body as he exuded a burnt smell.

Narukami looked at Jericho’s body for a few seconds straight before turning his head around.

He was a vampire. Injuries like head-turning in the direction should not be a biggie.

“It’s still uncomfortable to do that, though,” said Narukami as he stretched his neck by moving his head to the right and left.

After he finished his business here, he left this dimension. He did not have to care about Jericho as he probably teleported to somewhere else.

The best he could do was hope that Jericho did not fall from high places. With a body like that, he was no different than ordinary humans.

Though such a thing was unlikely to happen as Narukami had already made sure something like that was not going to happen.

“Next is to watch Jim, huh? I don’t know why but I feel like something bad is going to happen. I have to hurry!” Said Narukami as he narrowed his eyes or so he thought when he realized he couldn’t.

“Tsk, annoying.” Narukami’s figure then vanished like a transparent illusion.

Appearing again in the place where he just disappeared, Narukami looked around and found out no one noticed this.

It was because he put a barrier that prevented ordinary people from seeing him. Such concealment was easy.

“I should have done this instead, huh?” Narukami thought to himself and felt like an idiot. How could he forget such a simple thing?

Regardless, there was no point thinking about it. His main focus shall be stalking Jim.

Scanning his surroundings so as to look for him, Narukami did not find him. It seemed he spent a bit of time in that dimension.

How annoying, Narukami thought to himself as he walked down the stairs and reached the ground, he walked to the train as he jumped the turnstile. No one noticed this as he was no different than a ghost.

Narukami spread out his spiritual senses to the entire station and enormous scenes played in his mind but nothing was to his liking. He did not find Jim in this crowd.

If spiritual senses did not work, then there was one thing that could be done. Narukami couched as he planted his hands on the ground and he scanned the ground so as to find Jim’s footsteps. Everyone walked differently and Narukami remembered Jim’s walking style the first thing they met.

Though, it was quite hard. With all the crowd here, it was hard to distinguish Jim’s steps from others. Narukami then filtered and erased one by one rapidly.

In the process, Narukami noticed that a train was coming in a few seconds. If that arrived before Narukami could find Jim, it would be hard to find him.

Luckily, if that was impossible. Narukami could have just entered the train station and gone another round of seeking.

It could not be called hide and seek as the other party was not hiding, he just got followed without his consent.

Wait a minute, is there a case where someone followed you with your consent? Narukami’s mind was a bit jumpy but he got back to the matter at hand rather instantly.

“Come on, come on,” softly Narukami muttered.

In his ears, there were hundreds of footsteps but then gradually decreased to the point of a few footsteps.

Finally, he found it. Narukami opened his eyes. He closed it when he proceeded to look for Jim so he could get more focused.

Narukami raised his body and walked to where Jim was. Through the gaps of the crowds, Narukami found him.

He was looking at the screen on his phone rather nervously and seemed a bit shocked.

“Why are they looking for information about him?” Jim asked himself with a low tone.

Narukami frowned or he hoped he could do that. The best thing he could do was squeeze his chin.

Him? What is he talking about? Narukami asked himself and grew a bit curious. He wanted to go near Jim as he had the advantage of being discovered low but just not.

Better be safe than sorry. Jim was the reincarnation of Narukami’s enemies and he was powerful for that! Though chances were low.

He might awaken the power in his soul. Everyone has secret weapons in their soul, it was just that one has to find it with the right tool.

If Jim accidentally awaken his power and remembered his memories, things might turn for the worst.

Narukami had to avoid this no matter what!

Just to inform you, Narukami did not afraid because of this single reason, it was also because He might be involved.

The god who had been reincarnated Narukami five times in a row. He loved to see Narukami in his despair and he rise from that state.

There was one time where Narukami was a prince and he lost everything he cared about. His brother, people, and country.

That god laughed His ass off as if watching an extremely funny video.

Remembering that memory pissed Narukami. He vowed after that moment onwards, he would not follow what He wanted.

Being a chess piece of someone else was something he despised. He could not control his fate.

Though, he could not do anything about it. Man cannot control his fate, not wait. Let one change it. Men cannot control their fate entirely, which means there are things Narukami can’t change.

“This must be His plan. So close, if I go and take a peek at Jim’s phone. Something unexpected might happen.” Narukami heaved a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, He was standing on His throne. Watching Narukami as he was stirring his cup of tea.

“How boring,” He said with a chuckle before taking a sip. He was ready to do something ‘fun’.

Well for him at least, not for Narukami.

Able to endure his curiosity, Narukami stood a few meters away from Jim.
