"Like hell, I'm going to wait for you," Narukami scoffed as he moved as fast as lightning. Leaving lightning particles along the way.
Simultaneously, the runes and talisman activated but Narukami easily deactivated them. With a swing of his arm, lightning shot out to those runes.
The latter was in the shape of shiny Japanese symbols which floated in the air. As soon as his lightning hit them, these words dissipated.
Furasa in his shadow space was shocked to see how these things were easily deactivated. She knew it was in truth rather complicated but Narukami was the one who made it easy.
Furasa wanted to ask him how he did it but didn't as everyone had their secrets.
"Furasa, where are we right now?" Narukami asked as he was in the air and looked around. Furasa's house was incredibly vast and huge, it was the size of a city!
Narukami couldn't tell where he was right now. Thankfully, there was Furasa in his shadow.
Furasa replied after shortly pondering, "we're in the inner region."
"What? I felt like I've been traveling for five kilometers! Is this really a house at this point? Not a manor? I'm confident this could be called a palace!"
Furasa nodded and said, "Furasa clan history can be traced way back before Japan's first era. However, we are usually laid low from mortal affairs and only focused on spiritual matters. There are times when some powers try to ask for our assistance so as to help them but every clan head never once accepts their requests."
Narukami hesitated and said, "I feel like your clan is a bunch of hypocrites. Didn't want to be involved with mortal affairs?" He snorted and formed a mocking smile.
"Then tell me why they build a house this big! Isn't this the same as telling the world about your clan's glory and prestige?"
Indeed, no matter what the world was. Something vast and luxurious was often a way for rich people to show off their wealth.
Furasa rebuked in fury, "senior, even if I owe you my life. I'll not accept it if you insult my clan!"
Her words shocked Narukami that he didn't know what to say and after organizing his thoughts, he apologized, "Sorry, I should've known you love your clan this much."
Seeing how he apologized quickly without hesitation, Furasa began to perceive Narukami differently from other guys.
She said softly as she indicated she wasn't angry anymore, "it's okay, senior. But your words indeed have their truth."
Noticing how Furasa's fury vanished immediately eased his heart. It was uncomfortable to have a girl mad at you.
Simultaneously, he was impressed at how this girl change hearts
As Narukami kept moving forward, he lost his sense of direction. There were many halls, corridors, and rooms.
This was no different from a maze! Additionally, everything looked the same. The floors, walls, corridors, everything.
Even if he took upstairs, it would still be the same.
As of now, he was around the fifth floor. The house appeared to extend to the top of the mountain.
Yes, indeed, Narukami didn't notice there was a mountain as the outer region was quite vast and covered the inner region.
To enter the latter, Narukami had to enter a thirty-floor traditional Japanese house and exit at the peak of the floor.
By then he was in the inner region.
"Just how much do you guys spend?" Narukami asked curiously as he slid the doors to the side and arrived at the flight of stairs.
He lifted his head to the stairs and climbed it up.
Furasa answered his question, "it's unknown and most of the clan members don't know the financial state or what the clan uses their money for."
Narukami grunted in acknowledgment, "I see."
"Senior, why don't you teleport directly to my elder brother's location?"
Narukami hesitated for a short moment before replying, "there's a rumor surrounding the Furasa clan that they have a treasure hidden somewhere in their main house. I wanted to try my luck. Do you know where it is, Furasa?"
"That I don't know, this is the first time I had heard such rumors."
She continued and asked with a frown, "senior, may I know what this treasure is?"
Narukami calmly answered, "It's an item that looks like glass. If you pour water into it and wish for something, that glass will change the water into something that you want."
"That sounds like something coming out of a fairy tale," she said with a look of doubt.
"We, Sorcerers can control elements and can do something that other people thought could only be found in fiction."
Furasa grasped his meanings, it was as clear as day. For ordinary people, they were basically humans that could be found in fiction yet here they were.
So how about something that seemed to be coming out of fiction surfaced in the world? The chance of it being real was high.
"I see, but senior, I couldn't help you as it is the same as betraying my clan."
"Then killing your elder brother isn't?" Narukami asked as his brows knitted together.
"I simply clean out the trash to make the clan a better place, it is different," said Furasa with a smile.
"In the first place, my elder brother has already broken the rules. The elders knew this but couldn't do anything as he threatened them that if they tell outsiders about his plan.
Without hesitation, he's going to kill them.
With his ability, escaping from others is as easy as taking candy from a baby and even if some elders manage to escape, their lives are only a temporary one." Furasa explained solemnly with a trace of hate in her.
Narukami silently listened and thought to himself, he forced his little sister to learn sacred incantation as she killed her entire squadron. This crime couldn't be forgiven even if he was killed a hundred times, you better prepare for it!
"Furasa, don't call him your elder brother anymore. Instead of protecting you, he uses you for something despicable. What kind of brother would've done that? He's not your brother, even the coldest and heartless monsters wouldn't use their younger sisters to do it."
Narukami pretty much despised this type of person. Even in many worlds he traversed, these events were so common that they made him sick.
Rivals between one of your kin were normal but to the point of I win and have the right to do everything to you, was laughable that it made him want to slap whoever discovered the term!
"Next time, if you need someone. Tell me," Narukami added.
Although they just met, Furasa's character was similar to a person he knew in one of his past lives.
Sadly, that person was killed to break down Narukami's will and they wanted him to feel in despair.
Unfortunately for them, Narukami recovered from his state and killed them as slowly and agonizingly as humanly possible.
Despite the fact Narukami was a bit cruel to Furasa when they first met, it was because he didn't know her any better but now they did.
An urge to protect her rose from the deep of his heart.
His words made Furasa lose words. She didn't know what to say. She was in a state of being touched by him, a bit angered that he insulted his brother. This may sound naive but no matter what he did, he was still her brother. Not all the things he did to her were bad, especially his past self, and a sense of warmth filled her heart.
"Thank you, senior. But I'm okay. He may act like someone I didn't recognize anymore but he's still my brother, I can't simply cast him aside.
There must be a reason why he did this, I must figure out what it is." Furasa was determined.
Narukami fell silent and said, "you're a kind girl. Ah, too bad you're not my real little sister. If not, I definitely adore you to the point that I don't want other men to touch you." He sighed helplessly while Furasa blushed.

As the real Narukami raid the Furasa clan's main house, the shadow Narukami shared half of his consciousness and began to enter the mysterious library along with official Sorcerers.
The house was in renovation and when the workers discovered the underground library, they entered it so as to check it out but none of the workers came back.
The remaining workers called the cops and the latter called All Beyond. Reaching to where it was now.
The stairs leading underground were gloomy and eerie, some Sorcerers subconsciously gulped down their saliva.
Despite the fact, they had visited many sinister places like abandoned buildings that were used by cults in an attempt of summoning a devil or hideous ritual.
This underground stair was a hundred times more sinister, causing goosebumps to crawl on their skin.
Different from them, however, this place seemed familiar to him. It was as though it was calling for him.
He frowned as he said to himself, what is this plan? It's as though something deep inside summoning me…
