Chapter 84 - A Mistake

Seeing him seriously saying that, Furasa decided not to ask anything regarding that question.

"What makes you impatient?" Furasa blurted out a question.

"I don't understand what you are talking about," he replied after thinking for a sec.

"You're the type of person who wants to get something, not a single thing could change your mind.

"Even if you're tortured, your decision will not budge."

"So?" He simply said as his eyelids creased in a frown.

"If only you're not paving this path!"

Right after she said this, tears flowed down across her cheek as she gritted her mouth so as to held back her tears, preventing the latter from falling but it's futile.

With tears raining down, she glared at her elder brother and said in fury," Why, Ringen-nii sama? Why?! You're a determined, hard-working, reliable person. As a little sister, I respect and admire you.

"If only... If only you didn't walk in this path, it would be a matter of time before our clan stood at the peak!"

Ringen clicked his tongue in annoyance, "what do you understand, oh my little sister? Father is dying and won't wake up at any moment! All of his works shifted onto me! Do you know how heavy that responsibility is?

"You, as my little sister, sure have it easy. Your job is to kill Anomalies all day long, hanging out with friends and being spoiled to the core by the clan! What a good life you're having, Aru!" His voice raised.

"You're wrong!" Aru quickly retorted with a strong body language of denial.

"I'm wrong? Then tell me this, why does Father give you twice the resources?" He asked as he narrowed his eyes, seemingly taking a peek into her secrets.

"That's..." Furasa wanted to say that there was a reason but those words stuck in her throat. From others' viewpoints, Furasa was indeed spoiled by the clan.

Perhaps in regard to this, she couldn't utter a word as his words were true.

"So what?" Narukami's voice suddenly rang out. It was calm and contained a bit of disdain.

"Hah?"

Narukami didn't say anything as he examined Ringen's confused expression and said, "I'm not going to bother explaining it to you but since you can't understand it, then I'm going to give you a hint."

Not giving a chance to Ringen say a thing, Narukami hurriedly yet nonchalantly continued, "this is for Furasa, not for you."

"As far as I know, most parents will act fairly to their children. Have you thought about the reason behind your father's words?"

"Are you trying to lecture me?" Ringen asked.

"I didn't say a thing about lecturing you, I simply asked a question."

After that, Ringen began to ponder his question.

"Isn't it because my father sees something special in her?" Ringen guessed and Narukami only wore an expressionless face, not replying to his words.

"Brother, it's not that. It's because father gave me a personal mission," she interrupted.

"A personal mission?" His brows furrowed.

Furasa nodded and said, "yes, but sorry Ringen-nii sama, father told me not to tell anyone, even to you what this mission is. Should I tell you, the risk would be immeasurable." Her voice was solemn.

Ringen became silent and sighed in regret, "it seems there's always another side of the coin. So, are you going to kill me?"

"Yes, what you did is unforgivable. Even a hundred deaths aren't enough to atone your sin." Her voice was cold and deep.

Just remembering what her elder brother did to her. Although she felt fear just by remembering it, hatred and anger in her surpassed that feeling.

"If I die, all the things I carried behind my back will become yours. Are you sure?"

"Yes, father's mission is important. Killing someone who gets in the way of it is more important. After I killed you, I simply have to say what I just said to you earlier."

Because of Ringen's orders, Furasa's movements were extremely limited as though she was in a confined room of 2x2.

Having no choice, she had to delay the mission and endure it, finding a chance to stop this.

When enduring it, a day was akin to ten years and a sense of urgency rapidly grew in her heart. Causing her to be restless.

"No way out, huh," he softly muttered.

"Ringen-nii sama, why are you so calm?" She asked curiously.

In the face of death, most people would do everything at their disposal to struggle, grasping every chance to increase one's survival and to see the next sunrise.

However, that didn't apply to those who didn't fear death, those who lost all of their hopes and dreams in life.

"Calm? Is that so? If not for the fact I promise to myself to not let my suffering and weaknesses be known to outsiders, I would probably talk nonstop to stop you and this person."

"Then why don't you break that promise? You're running short either way," Narukami suddenly said and Ringen laughed.

"That would be interesting but it's going to be more interesting if I don't," he smiled proudly.

"You seem to be confident in facing death. Does the pain of getting stabbed by hundreds of swords doesn't shrink your bravery?" Narukami asked.

"It's the opposite, I'll face that pain and smile at the end after it ends!"

"You're an odd guy," said Narukami nonchalantly and shortly.

Not waiting for his response, he said, "Before you die, tell me where the Djinn Glass is."

"Djinn Glass?" He recited Narukami's words and pondered.

After a few seconds of that, he shook his head, "we don't have that but we have a book that passed down from our ancestor to generations after generations.

It contained profound notes and secrets that ordinary people shouldn't learn. Otherwise, they would die before knowing the cause.

"A book?" Narukami's curiosity piqued as he probed deeper.

"Un, All Beyond also pursues this book. It seems it contained secrets about that organization."

Drawing back his black dagger from Ringen's throat, Narukami then exited the room but before that, however, he advised Furasa, "his life is in your hands, he's yours. You can kill him slowly by skinning him alive, tear his limbs one by one, pour salt on his wound, and then put a certain rat on top of his stomach and expose it to extreme heat, it would try its best to escape from such heat it by digging its was down and hide in his stomach or you could end him instantly."

After he said that, he was gone. Leaving Furasa and her elder brother speechless.

Isn't that too savage? They probably thought.

In front of the door, Narukami closed his eyes and teleported himself to where his shadow was.

At this point, the group went downstairs to the mysterious library and they were incredibly tense that they didn't notice a person behind them suddenly rippled like water. Next, it changed to a black bud and a figure walked out of it.

This process was extremely short as though nothing happened.

This feeling, I recognized it but didn't know where it came from, he said inwardly as he tried to find the source in his mind but failed.

He couldn't tell where he felt this mysterious feeling before but the more he thought about it, the familiar it became.

In the midst of his thoughts, the group had already entered the mysterious library.

"Captain, what is this place? It's entirely different from a normal library but I couldn't tell what makes it that way," a man nervously asked.

"I have no idea either as information regarding this place is almost none, as a matter of fact. Perhaps this is the first time All Beyond encountered something like this."

As the biggest and most powerful organization in the world, they basically had complete information of ancient and mysterious buildings.

But this mysterious library was the first one that All Beyond was clueless about. Well, let's just add 'almost' in front of the clueless.

They at least knew what the library's danger level was, its location, and the right to enter it.

Anyway, as the last person entering the mysterious library. Narukami could see everyone's backs trembling.

Then, out of the blue, something flashed over his mind. It was a memory.

It seemed he had experienced this before but in truth, he never had.

In the memory, all the people that had entered this mysterious library would cause a massacre to the entire world.

Strangely, he didn't see himself joining that destruction. This memory from everyone's perspective.

As he watched these fifteen people massacre the entire world, Narukami felt remorse and grief he never felt before. He wanted to stop these people from dying the world red but never could.

No one in this world could stop these fifteen people.

The memory ended and his breath was hasty. His upper body appeared to be heavy and he staggered.

He had to lean against the nearest wall and sit.

What was that just now? Is it my memory before my first reincarnation?
