What did they do in their past lives to end up in this situation? The guards felt like crying. They've seen how strong Narukami was.
He had just broken through the door with ease! That door was made with a special kind of material that absorbed any force.
Walking at the very front, Asahi observed the expression of those guards and was somehow satisfied. In the past, it was him who made the same expression as them.
Look how the tables turned.
"Hey, isn't that the test subject that escapes?"
"You're right! I remember him now, isn't he the one with the lowest potential to succeed? How did he escape and even bring back strong allies?"
"Crap, he's here for revenge!"
The guards were all terrified that their bodies shook. They remembered the deed they had done to Asahi.. Their faces turned pale as they slowly took a few steps back.
However, before they could run. They were struck by lightning and turned to ashes!
"Did I allow you, idiots, to speak?" Narukami asked with a calm tone. This was many times scarier than a loud one
"No! Please, have mercy on us! Argh!"
"Did I allow you to answer my question?"
That person quickly became nothing but ashes as it scattered to the air, guided by an invisible wind.
Woosh~
He nudged his right hand a few times as he said, "let's continue."
Asahi gulped down his saliva. He felt pity towards those guards. While it was a fact they did something terrible to him, wasn't that because of their surroundings? Did they deserve such an end?
They have nothing left on earth. Not even leave a single bone.
As if reading his thoughts, Narukami kicked Asahi's back after he spun his body. His kick was so powerful that Asahi crashed to the wall.
Bang!
A loud thud entered everyone's ears and fragments of the wall shot everywhere. The wall and the ground slightly trembled too.
Asahi's head was embedded into the wall as he was stuck. He was motionless.
It was luck in itself that he was still alive.
This shocked the guards and Diana. Ryu was the one who had a different reaction, a smile.
"Are you dumb? I almost puked because of your naivete. Pity them? They killed more than every terrible serial killer in the country and they still live a good life.
"Wake up, brat. In the real world, you have no time to pity others. You have to care about yourself." Narukami pulled Asahi's head from the wall by grabbing his hair and looking at his swollen face.
He almost looked like a pig but Narukami's expression remained passive.
"Apologies," said Narukami coldly as he paused and continued, "apologies to the people who those killers just killed."
Asahi did not know what was going on. Everything happened so fast. He didn't do anything or say something wrong.
What did he do to deserve this?
But when he heard Narukami's explanation, he quickly understood.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Narukami released his strong grip and let Asahi fall to the ground with a low thud. Shortly afterward, he walked away as he left Asahi in his terrible condition.
"Shinra, wait!" Ryu instantly grabbed Narukami's sleeve. Preventing him from walking any further.
"Heal him." Ryu's voice was solemn.
Narukami stared at his expression as he asked, "why?"
"Why? Asahi is your subordinate!"
"So? He was injured because of me. I have the right to recover his wounds or not.
"Don't get it wrong, Ryu. I'm not a saint that I heal everyone I see. This is my ability, not yours.
"Why do I have to use it when I don't feel like it?" Narukami's voice was deep and cold. He let out a sharp killing intent that Ryu's eyes constricted as they were shaking in fear.
"Who do you think you are, brat?" His killing intent intensified and his hair fluttered despite there being no wind.
His eyes were ice cold and profoundly deep.
Ryu was shocked by this. If he didn't back down, Narukami wouldn't hesitate to kill him! He knew this was just a threat but fear was an instinctive feeling in one's body.
Especially so if the fear was coming from a stronger individual than you.
The guards with weak mental fortitude already fainted from fear and those who still had their consciousness were no better, they kneeled as they lost all trace of fighting.
Ryu slowly lost his strength. This led him to let go of Narukami's sleeve.
Next, Narukami's killing intent calmed down that
"I'm going alone." Narukami continued his pace. It would be awkward to walk together with them after this, hence his decision to go solo.
Ryu was in a daze before realizing what Narukami had said. He didn't stop him as he felt like it was necessary.
Hahaha! Look! Your leader obviously doesn't need you as you are nothing but a burden. He decided to go alone! A voice rang out in Ryu's mind. Each word this voice uttered formed an echo.
So it was as though the voice was talking from deep inside a cave.
"Shut up, Bahamut. I won't listen to your words," Ryu retorted in his mind.
The voice earlier belongs to Bahamut. The dragon slept inside Ryu's body. He was awakened due to Narukami's killing intent.
Even he, an ancient dragon Anomaly, skipped a beat as soon as he felt Narukami's killing intent.
Of course, he kept this to himself. He didn't want to appear to be weak in front of Ryu.
"It's up to you, brat. This reminds me, your leader calls you a brat too. Do you know the reason?" Bahamut asked.
"The reason? Isn't it because he lives longer than me despite his young appearance?" Ryu answered and returned a question.
"Are you dumb? He's still the same age as you. Do you know the ability, God's Eyes?"
"Isn't that your ability that I have yet to attain? Is it possible you're going to teach me?"
"Keep dreaming and you might succeed after I control your body.
"God's Eyes, it's an ability to let one see someone else's past lives."
Ryu's eyes widened in shock, "See someone's past lives? So reincarnation is a real thing?"
"Some souls are special because they could still traverse to another world and live in a new body. Some souls vanished to the other side of the world.
"Your leader had lived more than a million years. More than my lifespan."
Ryu let that information sink in as he fell deep in contemplation.
No wonder Shinra is different from people his age. He is basically an old man that could be my ancestor! Just what kind of lives does he go through? Did he remember all of his past lives?
As he followed this line of thought, he asked Bahamut, "why did you tell me this in the first place?"
"Guess."
If Bahamut had a human face, he would be smiling right now. His fierce eyes glowing red, his dark scales and two horns. He was terrifying and with that smile that Ryu could vaguely tell, Bahamut became so creepy that Ryu immediately retracted his subconscious.
Not wasting time, he came to Asahi's side and checked his condition by sending a bit of spiritual energy through his wrist.
Other than a bad injury on his head, everything was fine.
"Everyone has a different line of thinking and one couldn't force one to change it instantly. Narukami doesn't despise you, Asahi.
"He is only strict to the person he cares about the most or to the person that has a lot of potentials," Ryu said in assurance so Asahi didn't hate Narukami or lowered his confidence.
Basically to prevent any psychological problems.
"What he said is right. I can't stay this way forever. My life changed the moment I grab that coin and I have to prepare for the worst."
Ryu frowned when he heard his words, "Coin?"
"Yeah, that kick made me recall a lot of things," said Asahi bitterly as he propped himself up and he leaned against the wall.
His entire body was weak and he barely could stand.
Seeing Ryu didn't say anything as if wanting him to continue, Asahi said, "it happened seven days ago. I went back from school and accidentally found an antique-looking coin. Its color is gold and has a strange carving. I thought it was cool and brought it back to my home.
"And that's when it happened. On my way back, I encountered people looking after me.
"I was confused but then I realized they were looking for the coin that I had picked up.
"From how I see it, there are two sides that want this coin. The good and bad and technically. I'm on the good side."
Ryu listened attentively while Diana went to one of the guards and tortured the poor guy by hanging him upside down.
She laughed like a maniac every time she kicked him. He swayed about due to the force and begging for mercy as he cried.
Regardless, she kept kicking him and laughed heartily.
Ignoring what's happening in the background for a second, Asahi continued, "these people protected me as they realized that only I could solve the mystery behind this coin.
"My memories have yet to recover so I don't know what their purpose of solving the mystery is but I can tell they view the coin as an extremely precious thing.
"I remember it's a defensive tool against the true king when it wakes up."
"True king?" Ryu's eyes narrowed. This was the first time he heard such a term.
Asahi nodded solemnly, "A king that wants to erase all supernatural means from this world. Anomaly, Sorcerer, Potion, Foul energy, spiritual energy, everything which against common sense will cease to exist."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
