Chapter 88 - True Justice?

What is going on? What was that voice just now? True king? Me?"

His mind was chaotic. He somewhat couldn't believe what he just heard. Him, a true king of this world? Oh please, he had been one in every past life, surely he wouldn't be the same, right?

Not only was he tired, but he grew bored out of it. 

Literally.

Narukami then put that aside first for a short moment and took control of his chaotic mind. Although the crazy ravings were gone, he still remembered its intensity and he felt his stomach about to spill out its contents but he managed to endure it.

"I feel like it's not going to spill out the food I swallowed but also some of my organs," he said to himself.

Next, with his mind becoming calm and his body showing no signs of losing control nor injuries, he changed his position to sit cross-legged.

Just as his buttocks were about to touch the ground, he felt something.

Curious, he turned his body around and saw a book. The book had two swords and before them was the skull of a dragon.

Above this symbol was its title.

"Dawn Beneath the Moon," Narukami said its title slowly.

From the title itself, it made the book like a novel. Probably in the romance genre or something along the line.

This is my gift? Narukami asked himself with a frown but he didn't dare to underestimate it.

It was something from a terrifying and powerful monster. There was no way it would give him a romance book, right?

Accepting that speculation in his mind, he stored it in his space shadow and hurriedly went to the exit.

"Who killed the next clan head of the Furasa clan" The voice was filled with complete calmness and didn't feel anything upon someone as important as Ringo dead. He was sitting on a black chair as he exuded the air that only leaders gave out.

"He is killed by Aru. The reason is that he broke many rules and his only punishment is death," a girl beside the man politely informed him.

"I see, then who is the next clan head?" Hirohito indifferently asked.

"It's Aru," the secretary quickly replied.

"Did the elders didn't mind?" Hirohito frowned.

The clan head is always male and never female. That was what was written in most clans' rules and the Furasa clan was no exception.

However, to think they would give it to a young girl that had yet matured.

Just what those elders are thinking? Hirohito asked inwardly.

Although this was none of his problems instead their problems. Hirohito couldn't help but be suspicious of their decisions.

"Yes, they said that time has changed and they shouldn't always get caught up in the past."

"Wise words but is it really from them? I thought they are obsessed with traditions and what not?"

"Sir, the Furasa clan doesn't have any descendants with strong bloodline except Furasa Aru. Going with their customs, it is natural for her to be chosen."

"How about other members with close relationships with her father?" Hirohito changed his position as he asked calmly with sharp eyes.

"Their bloodline is thin compared to Furasa Aru."

After a long pause, he brought another question, "does she work together with Sixth? What happened to Gu?"

"She isn't working with him. We already investigate her through dreams."

Hirohito nodded and didn't say anything any further as he let his secretary continue.

"Gu is defeated, he was sent to America by a single slap. His two remaining members lost their fighting spirit as soon as Gu disappeared from the battlefield."

Before she said that, Hirohito picked up a glass of coffee and sipped it. 

However, after hearing her words, he choked and coughed heavily. He felt some of its coming out of his nose.

"Sir! Are you alright?" The secretary immediately approached him and Hirohito raised his arm towards her as he said in assurance, "I'm alright cough cough!"

The secretary hesitated before she retreated a few steps.

"How does Gu sent to America with only a slap? Isn't he someone at Level 10?"

In the air, he could stabilize himself and quickly go back to the battlefield but it appeared Sixth's strength was something beyond what they believed.

If he's only a Level 8 yet could send someone flying to the other side of the continent, how terrifying would he be once he reached Level 10?

He probably could destroy a country with a single slap!

"Gu said that he underestimated Sixth and when he was about to stabilize himself in the air, he couldn't do it as something was preventing him."

"Something?" Hirohito asked in doubt.

If that's 'something' truly what Gu had said. It would be quite unfathomable and unrivaled.

One must know if you stabilize yourself in the air, you have to circulate your spiritual energy to the entire body so as to deduct the force that caused you to fly in the first place.

If that failed, it meant one thing. You failed to circulate your spiritual energy and there was no way a Level 10 expert would fail to do something as simple as circulating their spiritual energy.

"Yes, it's unknown what Sixth had done to Gu but one thing is certain is that he is more than we all imagine.

"He has a lot of tricks up his sleeves."

Hirohito nodded in acknowledgment and said, "where is Gu now? Tell him to go back here."

"Sir, I'm sorry, I have one thing to report," apologized the secretary.

"Speak," Hirohito said.

"Un, after being sent away by Sixth. Gu reported that he landed on one of the biggest bases that Fallen Nightless had.

"That base is located somewhere in the desert of Nevada, America."

Hirohito pondered for a short moment and said, "it can't be a coincidence."

The secretary hesitated before saying, "that we can't be certain of. However, from the event. We could only think that it isn't a coincidence but a plan from Sixth."

"Is Sixth planning on wiping out Fallen Nightless?" Hirohito asked himself but his voice was out loud.

It was heard by his secretary and the latter commented, "it is possible. He's someone from a mysterious background and his goal is unknown.

"If his goal is to destroy the world, I wouldn't think that it's weird. He's neither benevolent nor malevolent.

"This is my opinion, Sir but I do think his existence in this world will change it completely."

If Sixth was indeed planning on annihilating Fallen Nightless. By sending Gu to one of their bases, he didn't have to dirty his hands and simply waited, letting someone else do his job.

Gu on the other hand, who was aware being used to clean 'garbages', couldn't do anything as ignoring an enemy base instead of destroying it was the same as colluding with the enemy, and should that be the case.

His end would be terrific.

After a long silence, Hirohito ordered, "if his goal is to destroy Fallen Nightless. That would be beneficial to this world and the five major organizations. Report this to the HQ and see how they react.

"Either they want to work together with Sixth or not, it'll benefit this branch."

As Sixth resided in the area of their jurisdiction. Other branches or HQ couldn't intervene directly unless the situation was dire.

With a potential enemy as Sixth, who was also powerful. The HQ would surely give as many resources to them in order for the branch's Sorcerers to catch him.

"Understand, sir." The secretary bowed politely before walking away.

After she left his office, Hirohito leaned his back against the chair, lifted his gaze to the ceiling, and sighed heavily.

"Narukami Shinra, Sixth. Just what is your goal?" He squinted his eyes.

Standing at the peak of a deserted mountain with corpses scattered around him. Gu looked at one of the bodies beneath him.

"Wake up, I know you're pretending to be sleeping," Gu said as he lightly kicked the 'corpse.'

It seemed to be a light kick but for him, who sustained heavy injuries. That kick was ten times painful and he couldn't help but groan.

His blood gushed out after that kick and his bones were cracking. His face was distorted in pain.

Gritting his teeth as he endured the intense pain, he cursed, "All Beyond's dogs! You kill us mercilessly without knowing anything and even said to yourself that you're on the side of justice.

"What's justice if you massacre a bunch of people who you didn't like?! Gah!"

Gu stomped his head indifferently and coldly. The latter's head was easily crushed like it was tofu.

"Only the strong have the right to speak while weaklings like you should shut up and answer my question obediently."

Gu didn't realize he killed the guy and he frowned in confusion as to why he didn't hear any words.

Lifting his feet, he then realized he was dead.

"You couldn't even handle this, scram." Gu kicked the man's body and the latter tossed to the air like a doll.

After which, he sat on the peak of the mountain and looked down at the world in disdain.

With corpses reaching hundreds to thousands laying on the body of the mountain to the foot of it, making him like a battle god that had just stood victory by himself after fighting against a whole army.

No, it's not an assumption at this point but something that truly happened.

On the mountain, there were many deep craters with their depths varying from two to five meters and smoke kept coming out of those craters.

Long and deep slashes were carved on the mountain. Forming a deep ditch. If Gu didn't control his strength, the mountain would have been destroyed a long time ago.

As his wind fluttered by the breeze of the wind, he noticed a few cars in the distance coming in his way.

From their appearance, they were from the military. Their cream color with a heavy machine gun on the hood and some people wearing military uniforms with goggles.

In one of the cars, at the very front to be precise. There was a guy who observed the mountain where Gu was and noticed corpses lingered around.

The guy felt chills and that feeling even intensified as he saw a celestial being sitting at the peak of the mountain.

"Who is he?" He asked himself in shock and after he said that. The celestial looked at him and smiled.

The guy jolted back in surprise and said inwardly in shock, he can see me from that distance?

Seeing that staying here any longer was a waste of time, Gu was about to leave when suddenly, he felt a presence from behind

He hurriedly turned his head behind and saw a girl with abnormal beauty, making her look like a goddess.

She had sun hairpin on her gorgeous hairstyle which was a small bun and black hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

She was Hikari, Narukami's servant.

As he opened his mouth, the girl didn't give him a chance to utter anything as she quickly bowed politely and said, "thank you for your assistance."
