Chapter 118 - Reeee

"Hmm, easier than I thought but I must not let my guard down," the Leader said to himself as he walked over to where Bahamut was.

Before he could arrive, however, the hand out of the blue exploded!

Dust filled the air as a red fiery figure slowly revealed himself as the dust scattered.

What a terrifying spiritual energy! The Leader exclaimed as he was alarmed. He hurriedly retreated as he leaped backward a few times.

"Suddenly attacking me. What's your problem?" Bahamut calmly asked as the flame around him began to disappear.

Noticing something was different, the Leader asked, "Who are you?"

In his viewpoint, he saw two life forms in one body in the shape of bright light. One was as bright as the stars while one was like a candle on a storm.

Flickering and could vanish at any moment.

"Whoever I am is none of your concern. Usually, I would kill you but now I'm in a good mood.

"You're the leader of this organization, right? I have to say though, you're twisted and should go to a psychiatrist.

"Oh well, it's none of my concern. Scram from my face before I change my mind." Bahamut swayed his hand as if shooing an animal.

The Leader's expression turned ugly but he couldn't do anything about it. Whatever before him was on an entirely different level for him to face.

His chance of winning was zero point thousand and fifty percent! It was so pathetic.

In truth though, it was because of Bahamut's terrifying presence that the Leader thought it that way and Bahamut took advantage of it.

The Leader has a 70% chance to win.

Hehe, if you can win an opponent with brilliance, there's no need for bullsh*t! Bahamut said to himself.

However, just as the Leader was about to leave. The ceiling broke and someone went through it.

The floor trembled and debris scattered. Dust filled the air as the figure slowly came out.

Revealing himself, the figure spoke, "Bahamut, why do you never learn?"

"Old Man Shinra, you're here. I do not have to search for you and you presented yourself before me.

"It seems I'm in luck." Bahamut smiled but inside he cursed for his bad luck. He had zero chance of winning against Narukami!

Narukami did not say anything as he diverted his focus to the Leader.

"Seems fighting you cannot be avoided," he calmly said.

"What are you, exactly? How did you find the HQ?" The Leader asked cautiously.

"You ask that as if I'm a monster. I'm still a human. Compared to you, you're no longer human but a devil in human skin," Narukami said as his voice was icy.

Hatred filled his heart and could not be contained any longer. The side effects of the brooch were lifted without him knowing it.

Narukami's expression was dark as he said in a cold and deep voice, "I'll kill you."

Boom!

The energy around Narukami intensified by a million times. Bahamut was shocked and so was the Leader.

Narukami's eyes were shining bright as his entire body was covered by lightning sparks.

His hair fluttered.

"Oi, how long are you going to stare at him like a fool? Why don't we work together?" Bahamut suggested and the Leader hesitated for a short second before agreeing with a nod.

"Okay," the Leader said before releasing his aura and energy. Showcasing his true strength after many years of concealing felt great.

Upon close inspection, one could see dark and sinister energy around the Leader.

"Even your spiritual energy corrupted and changed to Foul energy," Narukami shook his head as he rushed him.

His figure vanished on the spot and showed up beside the Leader.

The latter had already expected this and placed a trap so as soon as Narukami popped up, two hands came out of the vortex as they grabbed his legs to slow him down.

Narukami narrowed his eyes. He knew things would go awry should he get captured so before he got caught, he disappeared and reappeared where he was earlier.

The hands grabbed nothing but empty air.

"Creepy hands, same as the owner."

The Leader wasn't affected by Narukami's insult and launched another attack.

At the same time, Bahamut sent Narukami flaming balls. It was rather quick but Narukami easily dodged it.

On the other hand, vortexes appeared one after another. Hands and legs appeared as they sent Narukami consecutive attacks.

What made things harder for Narukami was that these vortexes appeared randomly and so, the attacks had no pattern.

It was quite hard for Narukami to counter it. Especially so with the fact, the Leader was many times stronger than him.

These punches and kicks were fifteen times faster than the speed of light.

There was no exception. Every punch and kick had the same speed.

Adding that with the constantly fired balls from Bahamut. Narukami could not catch his breath.

In a passive situation, he was. He could only dodge. His spiritual energy drained terrifyingly. If he remained this way, Narukami would be defeated without putting much resistance and so, his thoughts raced as he found a way in the next moment.

He threw three to five dark balls as they rolled in the ground. The Leader was aware of these things. He had seen it earlier.

Narukami could teleport to one of these balls.

"Bahamut, Narukami could teleport to one of those balls. Hold him for me."

Bahamut hated being ordered around but he had no choice.

Bahamut immediately went all out. If he kept shooting fireballs. Narukami could easily defeat him.

The vortex appearance gradually slowed down as the Leader focused his attention on destroying the black balls.

Though their speed had decreased, it was still troublesome to Narukami but he was not disappointed. He anticipated this from the start.

Bahamut dashed forward at Narukami and he punched Narukami's chest. However, he missed it as Narukami dodged to the side and returned the punch to him.

Narukami wasn't holding back even though what he hurt was Ryu's body.

That punch sent electric particles throughout Bahamut's body and paralyzed him for a short second but in a fast-paced fight.

This short second matters.

Narukami did not hold back and he sent a hundred punches within short seconds!

Being beaten up black and blue, Bahamut felt pain all over his body.

Narukami ended his attack with a strong kick to his abdomen. This attack was also imbued with a soul attack.

This means Bahamut was going to be affected and his soul would take damage.

Bahamut was helpless and enraged that he was defeated before even doing any damage to his enemy.

Bahamut flew and crashed the wall. A crack was formed and he fell to the ground.

He lifted his head as he looked at Narukami as he was enraged.

Look down by a human going to be part of his black history. This also injured his image as the strongest dragon in his time.

"Time passes, Bahamut, you'll not always be the strongest." Narukami retracted his leg as he looked down on Bahamut.

Bahamut was furious yet he could still control it.

As expected of an expert, he knows to control his anger. Sigh, facing an enemy that could control emotions is the most terrifying one, Narukami said to himself.

"It isn't bad, actually. You're a powerful human, to begin with, so there's nothing wrong being defeated by a guy like you," Bahamut casually said.

"You're admitting your defeat?" Narukami asked. He was calm on the outside but he was quite shocked.

"Obviously, I'm only hastening my death. Although being trapped in this kid's body bored me, it's better than death.

"I can't do or see anything."

"How's Ryu?"

"He's okay, relax."

"...you're being abnormally kind here." Narukami narrowed his eyes.

Knowing Bahamut's personality, he thought he was going to suppress Ryu's soul as soon as he took over his body, yet Bahamut did not.

"I still value my life. You could easily wipe out my consciousness and my chance to reincarnate," Bahamut said solemnly as he continued, "although you don't know it right now. You are probably going to ask your ancestor for assistance.

"She's the one who killed me and I have no intention of dealing with her in the future."

Narukami raised one of his eyebrows, "You know my ancestor?"

Bahamut did not reply as he closed his eyes. It appeared his soul was getting weaker than Ryu and chose to hibernate.

Narukami then noticed that Ryu was the one who controlled his body and silently heaved a sigh of relief.

He was worried that Ryu was on the verge of dying so he was happy to learn her was okay.

He did not have to worry Ryu was dying. With Bahamut's power, he could recover on his own without his help.

He caught up with the Leader's attack after all so he had no time to be attracted.

Okay, time to act!

Narukami then scattered more than ten black balls and he disappeared from the spot!
