Chapter 104 - Look, Ryu, Now That's An Abomination

Following Narukami silently, Diana sized up Narukami from behind. He had an average height and jet black hair. He exuded this dangerous vibe that Diana couldn't help but remain on guard.

"Wonder if the guard already knows that we escaped?" Ryu wondered in a carefree manner.

"Probably as they didn't get a response from the guards. I have to say though, they are quite confident to deploy the guards that few despite the fact they knew who I am," said Narukami calmly.

"You meant that your other identity is exposed?" Ryu asked as he was shocked. He knew about Narukami's other identity, Sixth and this identity of his was rather sensitive.

If All Beyond discovered that Ryu knew who Sixth was. They would not hesitate to capture him and skin him alive to get Sixth's real identity.

Diana was at a loss for what they were talking about. 

Her eyes blinked rapidly in confusion, Identity? Exposed? What's going on here? Can someone fill the gap for me?

Oblivious Diana was at loss.

Narukami nodded and shortly pondered as he said, "I believe the reason why so few guards are left behind to take care of us is that they lack manpower."

"Lack of manpower. That makes sense, I mean you killed more than a hundred members after all."

Diana's eyes were wide open in shock and disbelief. There was doubt flashed over her eyes yet she didn't say anything and became a bystander.

"Speaking of which, why do they gain so many members in the main hall?

"Are they preparing for something?" Ryu asked as his brows furrowed.

Narukami was curious as well but they were in a bit of a rush. They didn't have the time to know what Fallen Nightless was planning.

In the beginning, their infiltration greatly lacked preparation and even if they sort out some kind of plan. It would not be as effective.

With Ryu around, I doubt he listens to any plan, Narukami said to himself.

So rather than cook up a half-baked plan but in the end, it turned out to be useless as Ryu frequently ignored the plan, it was best to go with the flow.

Of course, Narukami always had a plan in his mind that Ryu had no choice but to follow.

For example, right now, Narukami didn't want Ryu to free these prisoners. Despite not showing it on the outside, he was itching to let these prisoners free.

Narukami's words let him ignore this desire and decisively followed him.

The event in that white tunnel. Ryu must not repeat the same mistake! Although the mistake last time was because he dropped his guard down, he was a burden in the end.

In short, Ryu did not want to slow down Narukami and be a burden.

"A war, they want to start it with All Beyond," Diana replied to Ryu's question grimly.

Narukami didn't make any reaction and even if he could. He probably frowned. He instinctively pinched his chin and pondered with a straight face.

"A war?" Ryu was surprised and alarmed. If war did happen, it would change the world once and for all.

The world would have had no choice but to undergo a complete change as this war involved supernatural powers that technology couldn't do anything about.

"It's not an all-out war like you imagined. Fallen Nightless only suffered if that's the case.

"What I'm talking about is that they are going to cause disturbance in this world," Diana explained.

"They already did that though." Ryu was confused. Fallen Nightless already caused chaos in this world albeit silently.

But soon enough, Ryu's eyes narrowed as he reached an answer on his own.

"They're going to do it openly," Ryu softly muttered but before the ears of these two Sorcerers. It was loud and clear.

"Yes, when All Beyond discovered something which resulted in the act of Fallen Nightless. They immediately cover the scene that normal task forces like police or the military can not be involved.

"Although the police department is more involved. They only report and leave everything to All Beyond.

"Not at all involved in the matter unless the situation is dire."

Narukami and Ryu understood Diana's words.

"With Fallen Nightless going to do hideous acts openly means they are not afraid anymore of All Beyond.

"Cases which involve Fallen Nightless always have the victim killed in such a terrible way.

"If a lot of these cases appeared one after another. All Beyond might have a hard time keeping it a secret as a serial killer has a hard time pulling it off within a short period and the media cannot ignore such good content.

"If this continues, the government couldn't ignore it any longer and had to be involved." Narukami calmly speculated.

"Indeed but what is their purpose?" Diana blurted out a question.

"They worship an evil deity. They need a lot of negative emotions, blood, and soul. Probably this war is like a ritual so this evil deity could descend into this world."

Hearing his words, Diana felt it made sense.

"We're almost there. Everyone, prepare yourselves." Narukami calmly warned.

Ryu readied himself by engulfing his entire arm with dancing flame whereas Diana by misty ice covering her entire body.

The danger was unknown so it might be better to be prepared for this, but seeing that Narukami didn't do anything to prepare himself, they felt like they were probably just being overcautious.

After halting his steps, the group arrived before a dead end but this trick was not enough to trick his eyes.

There were many senses in one's body, which were more reliable than the eyes.

He reached out his hand and put it on the wall.

Quickly afterward, Narukami's entire body was covered in lightning particles. Protecting his whole figure.

The duo was confused about this. There were no enemies that were yet to come but Narukami already protected himself?

With that kind of lightning shield, the duo could faintly tell it was a strong one.

As they were in the midst of their thoughts. The wall before them abruptly burst out as a guy whose height was more than two meters with a bulky build coming out of it and kicked Narukami.

The latter was blown away by the force. The duo was stunned!

The whole thing was quite fast for them. Before they knew it, Narukami had already passed them causing their hair to softly flutter. 

Narukami bounced on the ground as he rolled. He quickly stabilized himself.

"You're still alive?" The bulky man couldn't believe what he had seen. Despite that, a smile was plastered on his face.

He could withstand my attack… Finally, a new toy! The bulky man exclaimed excitedly as he licked his lips.

All of my opponents admit defeat or died after a single kick of mine, the gods must have heard my prey! He added in his mind with eyes filled with content and lust.

Dust slowly scattered and a man appeared in the vision but the first thing they felt was goosebumps. Their eyes slightly dilated as their face became pale.

"I felt like this guy is dangerous and weird. It's as if he's going to defile me!" Ryu said uncomfortably and Diana quickly nodded in agreement.

The dust had disappeared and they saw the bulky man.

He didn't have anything to cover his torso except his lower part. Well, there was actually. He wore a black bra and it was a question of who bra he stole from.

It made him ridiculous and odd. Ryu's mouth was agape and Diana's eyes twitched.

What's with this abomination before me? Ryu said to himself as he wanted to pluck out his eyes and clean them.

This is a pervert! She yelled in her heart.

Beside that bra which was imprinted in their minds. He wore white jeans.

Calming his thoughts, he analyzed the enemy.

Regardless of his appearance, he was quite strong as the spiritual fluctuation around him was dense. Compared to him, Ryu's density was like water while the bulky man was like mercury.

But that alone couldn't decide the winner of a battle. Ryu was confident in his strength and all the things Narukami had taught him.

And with the dragon power he had. He could win!

"Diana-san, Shinra, you can go. I'll handle this." Ryu hurriedly said as he dashed forward. His speed was so fast that his figure became blurry, leaving a long tail of flame like a comet.

Ryu appeared beside the bulky man and sent an uppercut.

The bulky man viewed Ryu as a weakling and wanted to finish him as quickly as possible but the way his attack alarmed every single cell in him.

Should he get this attack head-on, he lost the battle before it even started! Therefore, he quickly tilted his head to the side and kicked Ryu's stomach.

Ryu felt sharp pain transmitted to his brain and he coughed out blood. That force was enough to jumble his internal organs like jelly.

What a strong kick! This guy imbued twenty percent of his spiritual energy into his leg! Ryu quickly realized what was going on.

Ryu's physical body was extremely tough even if he jumped from a skyscraper. He would be okay except for a slight numbness in his legs.

The wound he suffered on the torturing was because before he was nailed. He was injected with some kind of serum that greatly reduced the toughness of his body.

After the itching ointment disappeared. He recovered considerably and was now back to its peak
