Chapter 90 - Faster Than Expected

By this alone, Narukami could tell just how harsh the trial was and it also proved that the grandmaster was shockingly powerful. 

The question now was, can he kill him? Not only was he clueless about how strong the current grandmaster was, but he also never saw him 

Heck, no one in the organization had seen him except the Seventh Child and those who were given permission.

Seeing wandering in his mind serves no purpose, he closed the book as he stored it in his space shadow. At the deepest part of it, for he was afraid his little brother read it out of curiosity.

Right after that, he spread his spiritual senses. He was looking for Ryu and Asahi who had been missing since yesterday.

Furthermore, Ryu's house had signs of a fierce battle.

Narukami wasn't worried about him, instead, he wanted to know where he was and asked him a few questions.

After expanding his spiritual senses to the half of the city, he quickly retracted it as soon as he found someone familiar.

It wasn't Ryu but someone he knew. His background was a mystery but his strength was beyond imagination, perhaps he's three times stronger than him.

Strange, however, that his name wasn't known by many people. With that kind of strength, he had a spot in Seventh Child.

Before Narukami could teleport to where that person was, a voice rang out in his mind.

"Is this you, Narukami?"

Narukami looked around yet found no one. He quickly assumed this was from the spiritual transmission.

"Good afternoon, Z-san."

The fact that Z talked through spiritual transmission despite their vast distance showed how enormous his spiritual energy was. 

"Who are you looking for? I sense someone uses their spiritual sense and I thought it's an enemy. Are you looking for Ryu?" He calmly asked.

"Yeah, I want to ask some questions."

"If you're looking for him, he's probably in the HQ of Fallen Nightless."

"..."

Narukami frowned and doubted his ears.

"What did you say just now?"

*Ryu and one more person infiltrate Fallen Nightless' HQ," he replied.

"Why and how do you know this?"

"I have my source of information and I keep up to date about what's going on in the city, no, the world.

"The information I told you isn't a secret either. Almost everyone knows, well, only the members of the Fallen Nightless that is."

After a long pause, he wondered, "why don't you report this to All Beyond?"

"That wolf under sheep's skin organization? Why would I? I will probably end up being chased by their dogs in the end," he said as he scoffed.

"You know the truth?" Narukami asked.

"What truth?" He answered as he pretended not to know what Narukami was talking about.

Seeing he had no intention to talk about the matter, he brought up another question, "why are they foolish enough to infiltrate Fallen Nightless HQ? No, how did they even manage to find it?"

All Beyond had been looking for their HQ yet their attempt was all for naught. Fallen Nightless HQ was perfectly hidden and dangerous.

Once, there was a time where All Beyond's spy successfully slipped into their HQ by disguising as one of the members and before he could inform it to All Beyond.

His disguise was discovered and he was killed on the spot.

"According to my informant, they killed one of the higher-ups of Fallen Nightless and spirit channeled his soul."

Narukami wore a confused look as he asked, "how is that possible? Every member of Fallen Nightless would have their soul vaporized when someone tried to spirit channeling them."

Spirit channeling was a method for Sorcerers to get information from the dead.

Using this method, the soul of the deceased couldn't lie and answer their questions truthfully.

Vaporizing one's soul meant speeding up the process of that soul to vanished from the world.

To use spirit channeling, the preparation took a few seconds and before they could even interrogate the deceased. The latter's soul would've already gone.

"They found a way but I am not sure how they do it."

"They found a way…" Narukami recited his words as he pinched his chin before asking, "who Ryu killed?"

"Xain Fuhrer," he simply answered.

This name rings a bell, Narukami narrowed his eyes.

Just then, he remembered something.

This is the guy that swindled Aya's father! But I thought his criminal activities weren't that hideous. I didn't expect him to be one of the higher-ups in that organization.

"How is he one of the higher-ups in that organization?"

Narukami's memory was terrifying. He even remembered the memories he had when he was a three months old toddler.

Before asking that question, Narukami recalled in his mind everything and anything about Xain Fuhrer.

In the past, Narukami occasionally read about every member of Fallen Nightless in his free time.

Like a computer, he easily found the 'files' and 'data' he needed.

Xain Fuhrer, his criminal activities are light and harmless. Probably this was the reason why All Beyond didn't bat an eye at this guy.

Z shrugged his shoulders off as he replied, "I don't know how lunatics are thinking. Though, their line of thinking is unpredictable. This is what makes them dangerous. This Xain Fuhrer probably did something heinous and sinister more than we could imagine.

"He's a dangerous criminal and one of your members can finish him off." As he kept going, he ended it with a slight shock and disbelief.

"That makes me more unsettled! Ryu and Asahi's end would be miserable once they get caught, those fools underestimate Fallen Nightless HQ and recklessly infiltrate it to save a single girl!" He said hurriedly and anxiously. Perhaps this was the first time his stolen expression returned due to his anxiousness and restlessness.

"Are you going to save them?" Z asked curiously.

"They are my squad members, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth if I ignore it," Narukami said in response with a smile.

Then, he cut the spiritual transmission as he teleported himself to somewhere in a secluded place near All Beyond's branch.

He wasn't bold enough to barge in Fallen Nightless HQ all alone by himself. He needed some assistance.

He didn't know many strong people but All Beyond met that requirement. All the five major organizations meet it.

Narukami looked at the branch from a distance for a few seconds before sighing heavily.

It seems I have to quick things up, he thought to himself.

The preparation in his mind to annihilate Fallen Nightless vanished in an instant. Now the situation called for it, he had no choice but to hasten his preparations and plans.

Damn those brats! I swear I'm going to spank their butts until they can't feel their a$$ anymore! Narukami was infuriated as he vowed in his mind.

What Ryu and Asahi did was troublesome and caused an extreme headache to his head.

He approached the branch and arrived at the front door. Following this, he closed his eyes as he exuded a thick foul aura and spread it to the entire city.

This aura was like a delicious stench of a piece of meat for Anomalies. Even those in another city and even different countries were attracted by such a smell.

This aura was something his body produced and it usually spread to the entire city before the sun disappeared from the horizon. 

The reason why his body produced this was because of the boundless amount of spiritual energy he had.

He was both vampire and human. Although his human blood was thin, it couldn't be denied it was in his body.

His vampire blood and spiritual energy contained foul energy and as it coexisted with the human blood, the latter would be corrupted.

To avoid that, his body diligently separated the foul energy from his blood and stored it at one spot. Compared to the others who emit this energy rather slowly.

His body chose to emit it all at once, this led to an explosion. As the latter was quite strong, it attracted Anomalies even from another country.

The number of Anomalies that came at him never changes and always three hundred, never exceeding four.

This was because Narukami held out the amount of foul energy he exuded, just in case.

"Who knows my decision is correct?" Narukami said to himself.

Simultaneously, around three hundred showed themselves around the city.

Abruptly, a lot of people came out of the branch as they hurriedly went out to the city to protect them. As they came out, they did so hurriedly that they pushed each other, some even fell but quickly got up.

Some of their expressions were that of concern, some calm, and some panic.

Narukami was drowned by the crowds as soon as the bunch of people came out of the building. He was in front of it after all.

He simply stood there and people subconsciously avoided bumping him.

It was as though he was a sturdy pillar.

After a few seconds, almost all Sorcerers had already gone to the city, the branch was as silent as a cemetery.

With a snap of his finger, lightning arrows shot to all of the cameras watching the front door. 

Next, he stood before the door and put up an ad poster telling where Fallen Nightless HQ was.

Finishing his job, his entire figure swallowed by a black, sinister-looking bud
