Chapter 115 - Bad Joke

Especially so for Asahi. He was a rather valuable research asset in this organization. He successfully escaped but with the Leader noticing his presence, it was certain he would do everything to get him back.

"What should I do, Narukami-san?" Asahi asked worriedly.

Putting aside the argument which happened between them, his safety was more important.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine. Who do you think I am?" Narukami assured him with a calm face.

Knowing that Narukami was a reliable person, Asahi felt safe and believed him. However, Asahi was not going to rely on others entirely, he had to rely on himself in the end.

Narukami was insurance so Asahi could be at ease.. But that didn't mean he was going to idle around. He still had to save his childhood friend.

With a firm resolution, Asahi then hastened his pace to where his childhood friend's cell was.

Upon arriving, he did not see anyone. Asahi knew she was probably in the lab being experimented on and so, he rushed to where that was.

The guards did not stop him as they only gave their lives for nothing. They chose to report it to their captain.

Their captain then received their report and quickly acted by reporting it to the highest person in the position, which was the Commander.

The latter was walking with hasty steps. Hawk was behind him as he closely followed him.

"Tch, one problem coming after another. Can't those two brats relax a little?" The Commander complained as he was furious.

He thought since he had captured Narukami and Ryu, things would go smoothly but he didn't expect they would escape.

Although the prison may seem to have nothing against Narukami and Ryu. There were in truth a lot of things to pressure Narukami from getting out.

The shackles for example. It could even render a Level 10 Sorcerer as weak as an ordinary mortal! What they did not expect was that the effects on Narukami were little to none.

Same as Ryu. His physical body was as tough as steel, ten times more than that if not and with the blood of an ancient dragon in his veins, such a toy had minimal effects on him.

The Commander could be said to be negligent of his job. He should've taken more precautions.

Did the Commander regret it? Very. The only thing that could atone for this was to catch those intruders and put them in the most confined and tightest prison.

Because of this too, Hawk's impression towards the Commander sharply decreased. He had seen the Commander's amazing feats and breakthroughs but seeing him fail taking care of two prisoners, he was kind of disappointed to be under him and a bit ashamed.

He was the direct disciple of the Leader after all and taking care of those two prisoners was also his responsibility.

The Commander's failure was also his. He could have prevented that but Hawk wanted to see the Commander in action.

However, the result was far more than disappointing 

Since he had been playing passive from the start, now was the time to be aggressive.

"Commander, what are we going to do next?"

"Isn't it obvious? We have to catch those brats. We also get a report that one of the test subjects had returned.

"The Leader said we have to capture him. I'm leaving this to you. As he's valuable research material for our organization, you must not kill him. Otherwise, he would vent his anger to you and you know very well what your end is going to be," the Commander explained the situation and after which, he gave Hawk a task.

"No problem." Hawk nodded as he accepted the task. Well, he couldn't reject the task either way so he had no choice.

He heard the test subject the Commander told him about. Hawk had visited the progress of their secret project and reported it back to the Leader.

Among the test subjects, the one who escaped was the only one who was alive and with no side effects whatsoever.

The organization was probably, no, certainly eager to dissect Asahi's body so their project soared greatly.

In short, this was an important mission that could greatly strengthen the organization and so, Hawk was pleased.

For a direct disciple of the Leader, something like this was expected. The important missions should be handed to him, not others!

Then, Hawk vanished on the spot as he searched Asahi's.

"Looks like one of the elite soldiers had been dispatched to Asahi. Hmm, that kid didn't lay down but instead went somewhere else." Narukami frowned. He thought that Asahi would stay in the prison, for the fact the Leader was targeting him.

Asahi was surrounded by enemies but he chose to leave his shelter.

Narukami pondered for a short moment behind Asahi's decision. Putting it from Asahi's perspective, Narukami then figured out what he was thinking.

"So he wants to save his childhood friend and with me saying that he will be fine. He is using me as insurance, hence his bold move."

Narukami couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

Since you want to use me, very well. I'll play along, but you should think of your decision carefully next time, Narukami said to himself as his eyes narrowed interestingly.

This was perhaps the first time in eight hundred thousand years of his lifespan that someone was bold enough to use him.

There were many times where a lot of powerful organizations used him as a chess piece but never heard an individual daring enough to do that to him.

Furious? No, he found it interesting instead.

After getting what he wanted, Narukami's next move would be destroying Fallen Nightless, and killing their Leader was the fastest way.

However, in terms of raw strength. Narukami had a small chance to defeat him, let alone kill him. Perhaps only the HQ's grandmaster could obtain this feat.

But it didn't mean Narukami was afraid of pulling tricks behind the Leader.

He was someone who slept with the daughter of the strongest ruler in the world in his previous world, which led to him spending most of his life in prison, or at least that should happen but he broke shortly after.

Ah, good times, Narukami said to himself after he recalled the good memories. If he could smile, it probably formed on his face already.

In any case, what he should do next was to disrupt any plans that the Leader had. It certainly enraged the guy but Narukami was excited to see the guy's angry expression.

Evil? Him? No one was hurt. What? The Leader? He wasn't a human in the first place.

For Narukami, those who killed more people than necessary, especially to strengthen their members in a perverted and messed up way.

Narukami truly despised this.

Since it was also his mission from Amaterasu. He was willing to make the Fallen Nightless fall to rock bottom.

Aside from the fact that the Leader wanted to capture Asahi. He also wanted to use the kids Narukami found earlier for their members and suck them dry, greatly improving the strength of their members.

Narukami's expression was dark upon learning this.

Even the coldest person in the universe was not going to stay idle as they watched a bunch of innocent kids being used by adults.

Narukami was truly disgusted, "This fellow needs to know the line."

He could not solve the problem from the root but he could make his plans go haywire.

Still, though, if he wanted to do that, he must do so without alerting the Leader that he knew his plan.

This was the only advantage Narukami had. 

Out of the blue, he had a thought, "Actually, it does not make any difference. Even if he noticed I know his plan. He will not know that I'm watching him."

However, Narukami had another possibility, "no, he's an experienced Sorcerer. He probably has some means to erase Eyes of the Void."

Eyes of the Void was the technique Narukami used to spy on the Leader; it could bypass any barrier including time and space.

However, it drained his spiritual energy greatly. Fortunately, his spiritual energy was as vast as the sea.

If not for that, Narukami had to choose another method.

The golden finger of being reincarnated sure is nice, Narukami said to himself.

Next, Narukami concealed his aura as he silently went to where the room he and Ryu were in earlier.

The room was called Children of the Luck. Narukami felt strange about the name, as it did not make any sense.

How the hell are the kids in there considered to be lucky? Their life force is sucked for these lunatics to advance in their Level, what a bad joke, Narukami's mad became bad despite his calm expression.

Narukami arrived nearby the room and summoned a black shadow. This black shadow then turned its appearance to an average person that could not be picked out from the crowd.

A person with basic facial features was the best to interrupt their plans. Narukami had no plan to personally interfere, as that would make the Leader become alert.
