Izuka - Chapter 146

“Let’s go catch the rest. We don’t have time,” said Narukami as he retracted his gaze to the statues. As he did so, he could not help but feel something was odd.

“What’s wrong, Master?” Hikari asked. As they are bound with a contract, Hikari could feel what Narukami felt.

If not for that, it would be almost impossible to know what’s in Narukami’s mind as his expression was incredibly flat.

“I can’t tell what it is but it’s from those statues. They seem to be more than it looks,” replied Narukami as he pointed his finger at the statues.

“More than it looks?” Hikari recited what Narukami said as she approached the statue. Narukami would not be considered as a man if he hid behind Hikari and so, he followed as they walked side by side.

Narukami approached the ancient magician statue whereas Hikari, a fox girl.

Narukami did a glance before looking at the passageway. Shortly thereafter, he shifted his line of sight to Hikari.

Then something shocking happened. Hikari blew fire out of her mouth at the fox girl statue! It melted like a candle.

It was rather rare to see Hikari being angry. Was it because of the flick on her forehead? No matter what, she was still a Blessed of a deity! Their position was slightly lower than that of angels but the pride they had could not be compared.

What do you think would happen if an angel got flicked on their forehead by a mortal?

It was an obvious outcome. That mortal would get obliterated.

The scene was the same as an ant biting a human. The latter would not hesitate to kill it.

Narukami instinctively imagined himself in that statue position and shivered.

I’m lucky that I’m her master! If not, that would be my fate! Narukami said to himself.

“Hikari, are you mad?” Narukami asked.

Hikari halted what she was doing as she wiped her mouth with her sleeve. Shifting her line of sight to Narukami, she replied as she shook her head, “No, Master. I and this thing have something between us.”

An idiot would think Hikari had a grudge against the statue but Narukami grasped what was going on.

“So you have a deep grudge against this fox girl angel?” Narukami’s question was spot on.

“Yes. I swear by my Lady’s name that I will kill her and bring her corpse to my Lady,” vowed Hikari solemnly and it slightly terrified Narukami. How could he not? Her expression was twisted in hatred and fury! This was the first time Narukami had seen Hikari was this angry

“What did she do?” Narukami pondered curiously.

“She cursed Lady Amaterasu! I will not let that b1tch a good death!”

“That’s it?”

“That’s it.”

The edge of Narukami’s lips twitched. Here he was, expecting some kind of the story of revenge. Probably the fox girl killed Hikari’s parents and made her life turn from bad to worse and so after Hikari found out the reason.

She wanted to kill her but it was coming from that. Which was unexpected.

“What are you going to do should a mortal curse Amaterasu-sama?” Narukami pondered.

“Advise him so he doesn’t do it again and give a lecture about the might of my Lady.”

Narukami silently heaved a sigh of relief. Thank god she is still normal, Narukami said to himself.

“Well, that aside. Have you got anything?” Narukami asked as he changed the topic.

“Yes, Master. Each of these passageways isn’t connected to the building,” replied Hikari of what she got.

“Where does it lead to?” Narukami pondered.

“The coordination varies but one thing for certain is that they are still on earth.”

Narukami paused as he processed her words. It sounded confusing and did not make any sense but Hikari was not the type to say meaningless words.

It took Narukami a few seconds to understand. He successfully grasped her meaning with two keywords, ‘coordination’ and ‘still on earth.’

“By entering the passageway, they teleported to somewhere on Earth. Don’t they think that’s enough to hide them from me?” said Narukami as he mocked with a rather calm expression. It was strange.

“How are we going to find them, Master?” Hikari asked curiously. She was not worried at all about their target escaping.

She had witnessed many innumerable and miraculous feats her Master had done which left her in awe.

To Hikari’s response. If Narukami could smirk, he probably would’ve done so.

“We scan the entire Earth!” Narukami yelled as he clapped his hands on the ground. Quickly afterward, his surroundings changed as he teleported himself to the ground.

A loud thud sounded into the air as Narukami slapped his hands on the ground.

Narukami’s teleportation came out abruptly. This results in Hikari being left behind. Hikari quickly followed suit as her figure vanished to particles of light, appearing again next to Narukami as an explosion of light happened next to him.

Hikari prepared to help Narukami should something happen. Scanning the entire planet was something that only Narukami could think of.

It was reckless and seemingly did not suit Narukami’s personality. However, Hikari knew Narukami the most than her mother.

Narukami was in truth extremely reckless.

“Master, if you need any help. Please say so, there is no need to act strong,” reminded Hikari. Narukami laughed awkwardly.

“That sounds like I’m trying to impress you. Not like I want to though. Ok, let’s begin. Special Gesture: Earth’s Radar!”

Narukami poured out an enormous amount of spiritual energy but it was not enough to drain him dry. That’s just how terrifying vast his spiritual energy was.

“Amazing,” Hikari softly muttered. Even she could not do such a thing. Nevertheless, not as long as Narukami, best for five seconds before she was sucked dry.

And looking for the upper echelons that had escaped and were now scattered throughout the world.

Any Sorcerer might give up as their morale plummeted. Even if they did not, it had to require years and years of tracking the rest of the upper echelons.

Lady Amaterasu, I can understand now why you chose him, Hikari silently thought and felt like she understood Amaterasu even further.

When Hikari silently praised Narukami for his powerful strength. Narukami saw many different scenes coming into his mind.

The people of this planet, the animals, buildings, culture, geography, and other factors. He sorted out things he did not need like earlier.

As his Level had increased. He sorted things out pretty quickly. Leaving out the meaningless factor and only the important one.

It should be hard to find nine people among eight billion people on this planet. Felt like finding needles in a haystack, no, probably like finding it in the sea.

However, Narukami had some tricks under his sleeve.

Everyone has an aura and it varies. A priest would have a holy aura, a leader would have a certain aura that matches its role, a killer might intimidate normal people because of their terrifying aura.

Indeed, considering the countless number sinister things those nine people had done. They probably stand out more than any eight billion people on the planet!

Even Hitler could not be compared to these guys!

These nine people were ten times more savage than that popular mustache war crime figure, Hitler.

If they met during the war, the world would probably take a greater turn.

Anyway, with that trick applied even as we speak. Narukami saw nine auras on a different scale than the rest.

A scene in Narukami’s mind then changed to the map of the entire world instead of images flashing by.

It was as though Narukami was looking at the earth from outer space. Nine red orbs were as bright as the star, located in different locations.

Utah, Japan, Russia, Africa, UK, China, Indonesia, Arab, and Antarctica respectively.

Narukami had to admit though, the poor dude teleported to Antarctica but lucky enough, it was December. Should it have been September, he probably died with his body under the pile of snow.

Though, in the Arab one was not any better. She or maybe he teleported in the middle of the desert!

Narukami left these two so they suffer the most.

“I’ve got their locations. Do you want to come with me hunting them?” Narukami invited Hikari.

“No need, I need to take care of the elites.”

“I see. Make sure not to let anyone see you finishing them off, it will cause a sensation.”

A Blessed involved in conflicts between humans might arouse suspicion and cause unnecessary problems due to misunderstanding.

A Blessed was pretty much a deity’s helper in the mortal world. If one appeared in times like this.

The five organizations might suspect one another of working together with a deity, which was strictly prohibited regardless of the reason.

“I understand,” said Hikari as she nodded.

“I’m off. See you later, Hikari!” After that, Narukami’s figure vanished from the spot as he was devoured by a black flower.

When Narukami disappeared, Hikari gently smiled as she waved her hand, “take care, Master.”
