Chapter 64 - History

"You got my heart back?" Aya's mouth trembled, her eyes getting watery before the rain fell from the corner of her eyes. She looked for many words to say what she was feeling but could only utter softly with a smile, "thank you, Senpai. You really can do anything."

As soon as he heard that word, Narukami's brows slightly furrowed but disappeared in the next moment.

What she said was often said by a certain person.

Just as he was about to go back where this doctor lived and bring all the necessary tools here, he halted when he heard her words of gratitude.

What an angel! Kuzu was so captivated by her angelic smile that he wanted to kidnap her and took care of her!

Of course, such action only results in court death. If not for the fact there was Narukami, he would do it.

As his mind wandered, he had a thought, which reminds me, he faked his Level in All Beyond. Why would he do that? Does he want to be like those in novels? Hiding as an expert? Interesting.

Oblivious about Kuzu wanting to kidnap Aya, Narukami said, "I only do what I am supposed to do."

Watching the both of them interact with each other, somewhat made Kuzu felt like he was being a third wheel!

"Kuzu, I changed my mind. We should do it in your place."

After a short pause, he said hesitantly, "This is quite a sight for you to become indecisive."

This was the first time Narukami changed his decision. Usually, he would remain firm with it until the end.

"Something's wrong with this house. It is protected by a powerful seal that makes it hard for Sorcerers above Level 7 to enter."

"Doesn't that make this place safer?"

True, his place was located in an area where unofficial Sorcerers hang out. 

In short, his place wasn't that safe. Anything could happen.

"Ah right, Narukami. I forgot to tell you. My current situation is a bit complicated. Police already set their eyes on me."

He was an underground doctor which helped many outlaws after all.

Narukami didn't say anything as he listened to Kuzu.

"But don't worry, I managed to drive them away but it won't be long before they go back on their original track," Kuzu informed Narukami unhurriedly.

After a short pause, Narukami said his decision, "we'll do it in your place. Even if the unexpected happens, I could do something about it." He assured them should the worst thing happen, such as a sudden raid from the cops.

Aya and Kuzu smiled. Next, Kuzu said, "still, before we head there. I'm curious as to why such a powerful seal is built around this house. This place felt safer than my place."

"Such a powerful seal is valuable. No one in their right mind would build it for an ordinary house."

"Is that the reason why you're not on my side after we teleported? You forcefully enter it. It's a miracle you are still in one piece."

Breaking through a seal was undoubtedly a dangerous thing to do. One perhaps died before opening their eyes or perhaps died agonizingly.

Of course, the fact they were alive and an ordinary person like Aya walking around showed the seal wasn't lethal.

Narukami nonchalantly said, "the seal is quite weak with anything related to dark and space affinity."

How he achieved such a conclusion was because his teleportation worked albeit his body ended up somewhere else.

It was fortunate his body didn't end up between or in a wall.

And, if his teleportation didn't work. He and Kuzu might be lost in space quantum for a short moment.

"Aside from those elements, the seal was extremely powerful which dispersed any kind of element. Perhaps, as long as we are in this house. We couldn't circulate our spiritual energy," Narukami explained calmly.

"Fortunately, the seal isn't dangerous. It simply disrupts Sorcerer to display their elemental powers and disable them to circulate spiritual energy," he added

After hearing his speculation, Kuzu tried to circulate his spiritual energy yet before it flowed to the direction he wanted to, it abnormally shrunk back as though water went up a pipe but the pressure wasn't enough.

He slightly frowned and said excitedly, "this place is basically anti-magic!"

But he suppressed his excitement when he asked with brows knitted together, "Still, what kind of entity to be sealed with such a strange seal? Is it perhaps a monster from ancient times?" 

Narukami paused a bit and said, "That possibility can't be cast aside. When I was in the garden earlier. The seal was stronger. My spiritual energy drained drastically. Perhaps the more we go down, the greater our spiritual energy is drained," he speculated as he retracted his gaze to Aya.

While he did that, Kuzu gulped his saliva. He imagined a scene where he went down the first floor and his body became skinny the moment his spiritual energy sucked dry!

This was because of the huge difference in spiritual energy each individual stored.

Even a powerhouse like Narukami which stored lake-like spiritual energy looked a bit pale! Let alone a mere Level 4 like him!

"When did you live in this house? Did you know any of this? Have you encountered anything strange?"

Aya shook her head, "No, nothing strange happened. In fact, I only know it now from you, Senpai. Our family moved out not long after my father's company got back on track," she replied.

He nodded and warned them solemnly, "whatever is sealed beneath us is something beyond Level 9. We mustn't act carelessly."

"Can't you defeat it, Senpai?"

"Ancient beings are different, they have a whole different system from us. While we improve ourselves by killing as many Anomalies as possible. According to historical records.

Back then, Anomalies didn't exist. Except for some but they possessed intelligence."

Kuzu then explained in his stead with a nod, "vampires, werewolves, ghosts, mermaids, dragons, strange, powerful beasts and almost all mythical beings written in the book that existed in the world are all Anomalies. 

Anomalies in ancient times played an important role in the world. They mostly act behind the scenes in many important historical events.

Before I continue, do you know why they are called Anomaly in the first place?" Kuzu asked Aya.

"Because they are different from us and cause strange phenomena?" Aya guessed with a bit of doubt. She was able to answer thanks to the name "Anomaly".

"Yes, that's the case. Intelligent Anomalies such as vampires play a crucial part in most European history. With their appearances like a human and shape-shifting ability, it isn't hard for them to infiltrate human society. Then do you know how they are born?"

Aya pondered for a few breaths and replied, "from humans' belief and emotion?"
