Narukami sank into his mind as he deeply wondered.

This task of "Hers" is definitely the hardest one, he silently thought. 

Destroying a cult organization and kill the current grandmaster of All Beyond's HQ. Both were incredibly hard and quite risky.

What he was most worried about was destroying Fallen Nightless. Despite hiding in the dark, it was one of the biggest organizations in the underground world.

For a cult organization, that itself was amazing. 

Based on what Narukami knew, the Fallen Nightless were always involved in dark magic and summoning rituals.

Most were used to summon devils and according to some people, it worked but it was unclear.

Devils in humanoid form were quite dangerous. Should Narukami find one, he had to think twice before facing it. 

Not only that, there were demigods in Fallen Nightless. If he just barged in from the front door, that wasn't different from seeking death.

He had to plan this carefully and thoroughly.

At this point, he suddenly recalled something and asked, "I forget, what's my reward?"

"Two potion formulas to advance two levels and ingredients to concoct the next potion."

Her offer made sense. It was of the same value to the task he was given. Ingredients for the next potion were so rare that finding one was like finding a needle in a sea.

Especially the main ingredients. It was extremely vacant and almost impossible to find one.

Now that "She" gave him a way to advance to the next Level, he would be a fool to miss out on the chance.

Knowing "She" was a goddess, a trustworthy one. Narukami had little doubt that "She" would break "Her" promise

Given how feared "She" was towards "Him", Narukami dared to reach such a conclusion. 

"Also, you could get all the spoils. But if you want to, you could sacrifice some of the spoils to "Her."

Narukami instantly noticed her meaning and lamented in his heart, women sure love to give guys hints and take roundabout ways… 

"Very well, but is it okay for me to have you help me?" He asked. He required as many helpers as possible. The merrier, the better. 

This time, his target was a large, dangerous organization and a person who held the highest position in All Beyond.

Targeting that grandmaster caused a severe headache in him. Let alone come into his room and silently kill him, he probably couldn't even step into the HQ. 

The HQ had many protective measurements against an opponent who excels in teleportation and binding its invaders.

"Does Fallen Nightless has bad blood with All Beyond?" Narukami asked Hikari. He didn't expect an answer though, it was simply a question he blurted out without a second thought.

But who would've thought she would reply as though prepare such a question to be shot from Narukami's mouth?

"They have deeper resentment than one would think. On the surface, they seem to be light and dark that didn't have much hatred but in reality, Fallen Nightless hate All Beyond to the point that if their member found a Sorcerer from All Beyond.

They must kill the Sorcerer's family, friends, and everyone he knew, as well as make that Sorcerer die while feeling great resentment towards All Beyond.

Right afterward, the soul would turn as an evil spirit and be used to fight All Beyond."

Narukami didn't expect their scars would be so deep that there was no way to coexist with each other.

He was surprised to know such a thing happened in secret. Probably because the city he lived in didn't attract Fallen Nightless that he barely knew this.

They were like ghosts, they did make a ruckus but quickly disappeared so Narukami never found one.

Even further, the way they hid was like camouflage animals. They blend in with society perfectly and commit crimes silently and as soon as Sorcerers or the cops notice anything strange.

They would run away.

"How come you could say that with a straight face?" Narukami was slightly bewildered. Such a beauty utter something so villainous and despicable was rather strange.

Hikari smiled as she ignored Narukami's words and said solemnly, "master, feel free to use me however you like. My life has been destined to be by your side forever. In hard times or not, as long as I breathe, I will not leave your side."

The soft spot in Narukami's heart was touched. He then recorded this feeling into his heart. Such a serious vow from a woman to side by your side forever was something every man had to cherish. 

"Thank you, Hikari. But to let you know, I will not let you die. If that happens, "She" will send a divine punishment to me and when that happens, even "He" can't save me." Narukami's voice was gentle but when reaching the few last words, it became heavy and deadly serious.

Hikari's heart beat faster and she slightly pondered what was happening to her heart but ignored it.

Hikari spent most of her life in a shrine and taught nothing but how to take care of Amaterasu's shrine.

When she became Blessed, she was sent to a training camp and was taught many things. 

Martial arts, secret arts, history, culture, Anomalies, Sorcerers, potions, mystical plants, organizations, hidden races, beasts, basically all she needed to complete missions from "Her".

Hikari was like a robot, carried out tasks without reasoning and did so without hesitation. If she was ordered to kill innocent lives, she would do so. 

Of course, Amaterasu wasn't an evil god who took human lives for joy.

After many missions, Hikari had completed, beyond hundreds to be precise.

And a few years ago, she was given one last mission, which was to serve Narukami until her death.

Narukami was aware of Hikari's situation. In fact, the first time he met her, her eyes were dead and in it was a boundless and vast lifeless sea, filled neither with life nor hope.

"Then I would trouble you with this then, infiltrate the Fallen Nightless base and find out what problems they are facing. Find me at once if you find it. We have one month, time's running short." He ordered and Hikari nodded.

"Master, before I go. Is there anything else?" She asked.

Narukami shook his head. He wanted to visit All Beyond's HQ so as to set up a plan to assassinate the grandmaster. With Hikari helping him take care of the other side, he was at ease. That's just how much he trusted her.

Then, Hikari vanished into the thin air with a flash of light. Narukami collapsed onto the bed and let out a long sigh.

He rubbed his glabella for a second as he thought, I already found a suitable plan to deal with these tasks but sacrifices are necessary. I hope "She" wouldn't mind it. 

Thinking about what was going to be taken if he proceeded with his current plan, he couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart.

He didn't want to act according to this plan but the rewards she gave were tempting. Surely it was worth it.

Of course, he didn't let greed get the better of him. He still revised his plan so as to minimize the loss of life, including the innocent ones but no matter how hard he tried.

He seemed troubled to reach a satisfying result. 

Finding no purpose in continuing it, he stood up and teleported himself to where Honza rested.

Carrying him with his shoulder, he teleported back to his home and put Honza on his bed. After that, he continued to go out, preparing the necessary things so that his plan would go smoothly.

Unfortunately, he didn't manage to find anything and only spent the entire night wandering around like a fool. 

This didn't infuriate him, what he needed was something almost impossible to find by wandering aimlessly, he simply tried his luck tonight. So this result was to be expected. 

At the very least, he killed some seventh Rank Anomalies. That increases his progression to level up but he needed far more.

Killing that dragon Anomaly rapidly improved his progression. 

If only such a being popped out once more, Narukami thought silently and shook his head.

Killing the innocents was really not his thing. Although he liked the idea of the population decreased, he wasn't cold and emotionless enough to see people being slaughtered in front of his eyes

He noticed it was a contradictory thing upon closer thought and it felt uncomfortable. It also made him look like a hypocrite.

After a high spend with little to gain, he went back to his home and prepared breakfast for his family.

He was a creature who lived in the night, who needed sleeping?

Simultaneously, in Narukami's bedroom. Honza opened his eyes and examined his surroundings.

Laying on a bed, there was a study desk right next to it. The room was vast but only filled with convenient things like shelves of books, a wardrobe with a mirror, Narukami's school uniform hung on the wall, carpet covered the floor, AC above the bed, a mini-fridge, a computer sat on top of a table next to the mini-fridge, a television on the opposite direction of the bed and a small table in the middle of the room. This room looked like an apartment. It was also clean and spotless. 

Out of the blue, Honza murmured bewilderedly, "kill the families in this household?"

A cold, chilling smile soon spread. He just got another vision! It was always exciting when this happened, for the fact each time he completed the vision's mission. Something interesting would happen!
