Asahi was amazed by Ryu's strong will, as well as worried about his mental health. He talked about opening his belly with his nails so casually that it scared Asahi!
"Are you alright?" Asahi asked with great concern.
"Don't worry," Ryu chuckled as he found Asahi worrying him as amusing. They only knew for a few days yet he showed this worry as if they were close friends for more than a decade.
"Un, very well. We'll meet again." Asahi cut the spiritual transmission as he retracted his focus to Diana.
Through spiritual transmission, he informed, "my friends are willing to help you. They are in the prison and you may meet with one another."
"How are you going to help me?" She asked skeptically. For one, she did know how powerful these people were and the fact they could infiltrate here showed how strong they were.
Following this line of thought, Diana had a thought, how do they find the HQ?
It cost her a lot of money and time to find it. Five years to be precise.
The location was perfectly concealed from the world and Fallen Nightless genuinely did not want others to know of their HQ.
"Narukami Shinra, he's the captain of my squad. Although we didn't know each other for so long, he's strong and capable.
"My other friend, Ryu. We've been fighting together against one of the higher-ups of Fallen Nightless. That's how we found their HQ."
Diana grasped something out of his words but was not sure. Confirming it, she asked, "so from that higher up, you locate this place? But how? Everyone from Fallen Nightless will have their souls evaporated the moment you spirit channel them."
"I have my ways," Asahi simply replied.
Asahi was naive but no fool. He knew a few things must be kept secret to prevent dangerous situations in the future.
"I'll give necessary information to my captain and he'll be the one who plans the situation, not me." Asahi changed the topic.
"I'll leave that to you." Diana had little knowledge about the prison and if she wanted to help, she doubted this person, Narukami believed her as easily as Asahi did.
.
.
After being tortured for straight two hours so as to get information from Diana, they let her rest as they threw her into prison.
Asahi couldn't do anything when she was tortured. It was painful seeing her screaming and struggling from such pain. If not for Ryu who occasionally contacted him through spiritual transmission, warning him to not act recklessly, he probably rushed in to save Diana.
"Shinra, will it be okay for Asahi in this line of work? Although he's powerful when we fought together to kill that bastard Xain, I feel like he's naive and not suitable.
"He could kill us all if we don't keep an eye on him. He acts based on his emotions and doesn't care about the consequences," Ryu said his piece of mind, wanting to know Narukami's intention why he reeled him in.
Despite the fact, Narukami said Asahi was more than one could imagine. A special person like Ryu but for Ryu. It felt like Asahi was a burden.
He didn't hate him or despise him. It was simply a fact.
"You don't want to see him die, right?" Narukami guessed what was in Ryu's mind.
"Un, I don't want a person like him to die."
"Why?" Narukami asked.
"No reasons and even if I do. I can't let my squad teammate die meaninglessly. Asahi's character isn't suitable for this kind of thing. Shinra, why did you invite him in?" He asked as his gaze landed on Narukami.
He looked at Narukami's eyes without changing his line of sight.
After a long silence, Narukami replied, "he had a lot of potentials to surpass someone like me. We are all going to die and that's the only thing in this world any creature can't escape from.
"This world is constantly changing and not once it was close to total annihilation. Wars can break out at any time. I may not care for it but I'm one of the idiots that live in it.
"I want to gather strong Sorcerers all over the world to keep it in order."
Narukami hasn't forgotten his true purpose: Searching for his memories but what he had said was his temporary goal before getting his memories back.
He did want to live in peace in the city he was born in but problems popped up one after another.
His goal to gather strong Sorcerers was originally something he never thought of. It only surfaced in his mind after reading the truth about All Beyond.
He had to tell this truth to everyone as this secret put everyone into a beautiful dream. They must wake up from this.
Narukami may seem rash and kind of naive, as what he was going to do had no benefits for him at all.
His enemies might multiply and turn the world into chaos yet he still wanted to do so.
He hated it if people were kept in the dark without knowing anything. Additionally, he got a strong feeling this would let him trigger memories of his past.
Therefore, to ensure the world's safety from unknown dangers. Narukami decided to gather strong Sorcerers he trusted.
"So that's the reason. I don't know why you want to gather them, I'm not going to ask anything. However, please make me the first member."
"You already are."
Ryu was shocked but then let out a bright smile.

As the guards carried Diana to her prison cell, one of them was dissatisfied as he asked, "why don't they allow us to play with her?"
*It's the Leader's decision. We can't do anything about it. We can only suck it up."
The dissatisfied guard clicked his tongue, "tch, here I am. Thinking I could see her in her broken state."
Opening the cell's door, they threw her in as she fell head first. Her hands were tightly tightened with a rope on the back.
She quickly turned her body around and glared at them.
The guards smiled at one another before one of them gave her a kick in the face.
"You're just a toy for us! How dare you look at us with such an expression!"
After the brief conversation with Ryu, Narukami lay down on his bed and recuperated silently.
He was fifty percent from his peak but this was enough.
There wasn't much limit to his movements in the prison. The only thing was a cuff that disrupted the circulation of his spiritual energy and once it detected something strange in one's body. It alarmed the guards
Thankfully, Narukami discovered a few flaws and took advantage of them.
Just as he was about to rest himself. He was disturbed by the guards making a ruckus in front of his cell.
He got up and said calmly, "hey lowlifes. Can't you keep it down?"
His question shifted the guards' reaction to him.
"Well, well. A person acting strongly on his first day. What? Did you want to be brave in front of a girl so that she could fall in love with you?" A person taunted and the guards behind that person changed their expression to that of an odd look.
In the crowd, Asahi noticed that it was coming from Narukami and he exuded a breath of relief. He thought he needed more time to linger in this place searching for them.
"So what if it is the case? Can't love to develop in such a place? I say it's more romantic that way." Ryu's voice suddenly rang out and gave Narukami a bit of surprise.
This fella said something he shouldn't… Narukami thought to himself as he raised his hand and flicked Ryu's forehead with his fingers.
A pain in agony entered everyone's ears. The guards were confused as they didn't see anyone except Narukami in the cell.
These guards did not know Ryu was hung upside down above Narukami's head. Unless they enter the cell, they couldn't see him.
The Commander and Hawk forget to mention it to most of the guards.
Knowing their expressions, Narukami suddenly had an idea.
"Follow what I have to say," Narukami ordered through spiritual transmission and Ryu quickly nodded.
A flick on the head in his current state was like adding salt to a wound. Extremely painful.
Then, a few seconds later, another scream. Louder than before as it spread throughout the hallway.
Everyone's hair stood on the edge. The scream filled with great pain and agony that the guards' hearts palpitating.
Screams here were nothing ordinary but the one they heard earlier. It was the first time they heard it.
The scream was obviously from Ryu. It was imbued with spiritual energy as it instilled in everyone's heart fear.
Ryu glued on the upside-down cross with not many special items. The only thing was the huge nail that nailed his legs.
It caused disturbance if Ryu tried to use his spiritual energy and alarm the guards.
How he could let out that scream was from Narukami's guidance as he told Ryu the flaws he had found and how to take advantage of them.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
