Aware of his expression, Narukami spread his spiritual energy in the form of white tentacles. They wriggled on the ground as if there was an octopus beneath Narukami.
Soon, they coiled around Asahi. The latter felt a warm embrace of a mother.
The murmurings in his head gradually went down to the point of sounding like a crowded restaurant.
His face became soft and gentle with no hint of being in pain.
"Amazing..." Ryu could only utter that word as he was astonished.
Each of these tentacles was the result of a huge quantity of spiritual energy being condensed. The fact Narukami did so with a nonchalant face showed that his storage for spiritual energy was bigger than a huge lake!
Ryu doubted he could form a single tentacle. It simply drained him to the point he can't move.
But why didn't Narukami use a technique instead of rashly spreading his spiritual energy to calm Asahi down? This only drained him, Ryu thought silently as a frown was etched on his forehead.
He's not the type to waste. He added.
Using a technique allowed one to exert one's power without using much spiritual energy.
Of course, the stronger the technique was, the more your spiritual energy was needed.
As though reading Ryu's mind.
"Asahi's state is different from normal. Didn't I tell you that a new sorcerer's mind is sensitive? If I calm him down by directly pouring my spiritual energy into his head, he would lose control.
"This is because of the unstable murmurings in his head. Should it come into contact with my spiritual energy, which was contaminated by my vampire blood. Not only will he lose control, but he will also attract an Anomaly, become one if not." Narukami explained in detail.
Ryu was enlightened. Vampire blood was considered a foul object, it contained a tiny portion of Anomaly foul.
Although the source of Asahi's prey mark had weakened. The fact that Narukami's blood could heal anyone if one swallowed it showed that Narukami was a different breed of vampire, a rare and special one.
As such, the foul in his blood was akin to gunpowder for a weakened prey mark as the latter similar to a spark.
Should his spiritual energy come into contact with Asahi's body, the latter's prey mark would activate and let out a surge of Anomaly foul. Then it devoured Asahi's foul until it reached the limit to attract an Anomaly.
Then how did Kuroda-san survive after gulping his blood? No, there is another question, why Asahi was fine after Narukami examined his spiritual energy? As Ryu followed this line of thought, he asked himself a question.
Ryu remembered that Aya told him that Narukami gave her his blood. She told Ryu this in that cafe after Narukami got his drink.
Perhaps there is another way that I'm not aware of. I should ask Narukami after this ends, Ryu made a mental note.
Aya who saw these tentacles got a bad premonition as she took a few steps back. Perhaps she read too many nsfw works of tentacles and thought of a possibility that they were going to mess her up like the same as the nsfw content she read.
She soon got goosebumps.
After almost three minutes, Asahi stopped as he moved his finger away from the papers.
As he opened his eyes, transparent tentacles entered his vision. There were about five to six and all of which pulled back as it slowly descended to the ground, to where Narukami stood.
"If you can't hold the murmurings in your head, don't hesitate to tell us." Narukami gently reminded him.
"If I was late even for a second, I'm certain you'd lose control and attract Anomaly. This entire branch would be a battlefield."
Asahi somehow regretted his decision to withstand it and take Narukami's words to his heart.
Maybe I should depend on others a little, he noted silently in his heart.
"Thank you Narukami, for your help." He expressed his gratitude with a smile. With no response, Narukami willed it and the papers flew back in his direction.
Displaying its content and the kanji words in each paper glowed dimly as if each symbol was drawn by glowing paint. It was rather beautiful.
From left to right, the papers were written with the five elements in kanji. Water, fire, earth, wind, and lightning.
And each word let out the same glow and this caused Narukami to fall into deep thought.
His spiritual energy didn't react to these papers. This is something I have never seen but using my knowledge from those five worlds, I can only get one conclusion. Though, what happens next is either for the worst or the best.
Narukami's experience in those five worlds was still etched in his mind even after he was reincarnated. He couldn't delete those memories and those worlds.
Encountering something out of ordinary, something that should be impossible being possible, was a daily thing for him.
Like an old man said, everything has a purpose and so, this was also the reason why he managed to stay calm.
As Narukami mused in his mind, Asahi became nervous as time ticked. Like a college student looking for his name on the board after an enrollment examination.
"Asahi, you'll be okay."
What Narukami just said. It gave Asahi a bad hunch, something that he didn't want to accept. Yup, he already speculated for the worst result and that very speculation popped up in his mind.
He prayed in his heart, hoping what was in his mind didn't come true.
Too bad. God just sent what was called 'reality' to slap him.
"Narukami-san, so what are the three elements I could choose?" He asked. Asahi's mouth trembled silently. The control of his slightly shaking tone was so incredible that Ryu didn't know he was so nervous that his voice was shaking.
"It's unfortunate but it's okay. Everything has a purpose and reason. Perhaps there is a story behind your current state."
Can you spill the beans already, Narukami-san? I'm doing my best to control my nervousness and trembling body here, Asahi commented inwardly. He gradually ran out of patience.
Suddenly, he heard a whisper, "that's how Narukami bonds with you. He deliberately makes you agitated." With his hand in front of his mouth, Ryu's voice amplified.
Asahi's mouth twitched.
Ignoring what Narukami just said, Asahi asked curiously, "Humm, so what're the three elements?"
"None, you have none."
His words reverberated in Asahi's mind. His heart felt like it had been struck by lightning and at the same time winced.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Aware of his expression, Narukami spread his spiritual energy in the form of white tentacles. They wriggled on the ground as if there was an octopus beneath Narukami.
Soon, they coiled around Asahi. The latter felt a warm embrace of a mother.
