"Okay." She grunted in acknowledgment and covered her entire body with spiritual energy, just in case. Not because she doubted Narukami, but everything could happen.
Narukami spread out his arms to his shoulder and his shadow increased in size.
Slowly, a figure rose from his shadow. It was like an undead that was called from its eternal peace.
Her figure was as though covered in black ink but it lasted shortly before it disappeared. Showing her snow skin and outstanding body figure.
"Are you okay?" Narukami asked. Even he, as the owner of the space shadow, wasn't sure if letting out a living creature was a definite safety.
"A bit dizzy but I'm alright," she said with a smile.
"Lead the way."
At this point, the effect of the golden brooch had returned and his face was void of expression.
It's rather inconvenient to not be able to express yourself, he sighed inwardly.
Furasa noticed his personality changed within a short period and was bewildered, she wanted to ask but she felt like it wasn't the appropriate time.
"This way," she politely said and Narukami followed behind her.
As they were currently in, it was in a garden with a man-made waterfall on their side and a pond with extremely clear water.
The fishes swam leisurely and sometimes surfaced before diving back in.
Narukami and Furasa walked on a stone path with bamboo on both sides.
With the waterfall falling noises in the background, it gave them a sense of peacefulness.
After walking a few breaths, they arrived before a traditional Japanese house. Its size was the same as a manor, perhaps bigger.
This house was mostly made out of wood but just in a glance, Narukami could tell it was a high-quality one. Furthermore, Narukami felt a vague sense of ancient and mysterious.
It was as though he went back in time to ancient Japan.
"How long has this house existed?" Narukami asked calmly.
"As this building was built using a special type of wood, it's supposed to stay without being damaged even after tens of thousands of years."
"That's amazing," he simply said.
Furasa nodded and halted her steps as she turned her head to the house, "it is the Furasa clan's greatest treasure."
There was great pride in her voice and Narukami reflexively smiled.
Not waiting for Narukami to utter a word, she continued and Narukami soon followed.
After twists and turns, they arrived in front of a room. However, before they reached here, Narukami noticed that the outer region was different from other regions.
While they were vast, the core region was merely a single big house.
The corridors were many and confusing but not as confusing as the last two regions.
Additionally, it had beautiful patterns of flowers, not skin-colored, looking very bland like the two others.
Furasa showed a hint of hesitation as she lifted her right hand and was about to knock on the door.
Her heart was pounding, her body was quivering and sweat flowing down across her cheek.
Her breath was hasty and heavy as though she had run a marathon of five hundred kilometers without a break.
Aware of this, Narukami assured her with a low voice, "it will be okay."
Hearing his voice eased everything in her by a great deal. Her nervousness, anxiety, fear, and almost all of her negative emotions were erased.
She developed an instinctive fear towards her brother, Narukami thought to himself in sorrow.
She took in a mouthful of breath and exuded it slowly.
Tok Tok
A brief silence later, a voice managed to enter their ears, "come in."
The voice sounds calm and nonchalant. Narukami subconsciously frowned.
Is he not aware of the ruckus out there? He asked himself.
The fight between him and Gu definitely caused spiritual energy to spread, even to the inner region. With such a ruckus, the clan members, at least one of them should inform him yet it seemed it was not the case.
Or perhaps Narukami was missing something? Either way, he raised his guard and silently circulated his spiritual energy.
Sliding the door to the side, they entered the room and what appeared in their vision was a vast room with bookshelves around it.
There was a tatami in the middle and there, a guy was resting his feet under it. Simultaneously eating oranges and reading comics, he giggled occasionally.
Narukami looked at Furasa in doubt, the person in his imagination and reality too different.
As if confirming his doubt, Furasa nodded.
Are you serious? Narukami's eyelids were slightly half-closed in wariness, a bit disappointed and shock.
He retracted his gaze to Furasa's elder brother.
Noticing two people had entered his room, Furasa's elder brother put his comic book and gazed over them with a smile.
"Took you long enough," he said as he slid his arm over the table, sweeping over the oranges' skin and their seeds to the edge of the table and welcoming those trashes with his right palm.
Ended up there, he clenched his hand and they turned to ashes as they immediately scattered as soon as he opened his palm.
Furasa didn't move as she warily looked at her elder brother. His action was incredibly odd.
Receiving such a gaze from his little sister, he said with a dejected look and sigh, "even my little sister looked at me as if I'm a man-eating monster. Don't worry, I won't bite, especially that a certain person is here."
As he said his last few words, he shifted his gaze from Furasa to Narukami with a probing look.
Narukami didn't change his facial expression. Even if he wanted to, it would be extremely hard.
Narukami nodded upon his gaze.
"You're as disgusting as I remember. Maybe, even more, even the most disgusting toad is better than you," she coldly insulted him.
"And that toad never tastes a swan's meat," he lipped his lips pervertedly.
Furasa felt chills throughout her body and she subconsciously took a few steps back.
"How about it, Aru? Why don't we do it again? I'll do it gently and I'm sure you like it, very, very much." His voice was deep and reverberating to the entire room. His eyes squinted as it filled with lust, the latter applied to his words too
Out of the blue, Narukami vanished from his spot and appeared behind her elder brother with a cold and sharp gaze.
Killing intent locked onto him that he couldn't move as though his body had been shackled by strange magic.
Before his throat, there was a sinister black dagger that was ready to slit his throat.
Her elder brother could hear the agonizing scream of the dead from it, it was as though a scream of sinister souls from the very depths of hell
Some let out a shrieking scream, and some screamed while sobbing. These screams merged into one, made it shockingly eerie, and terrified him.
His heart rate rapidly increased and sweat was drenching his back.
"Don't say a word until I say so. If not, I'll slit your throat and your soul will be trapped in this blade. Let me warn though, you will be tortured for eternity." His voice was icy, making him feel like he was in a house made out of ice.
He nodded but didn't take Narukami's words seriously. Instead, he smiled and said provocatively, "I doubt you dare to-"
The blade slashed his throat and blood gushed out vigorously, painting the ground with red, majestic flowers.
The sharp scent of blood lingered in the air and Furasa who saw this ruthless scene covered her mouth in shock.
However, shortly thereafter, the scene rippled and broke into fragments like a mirror that had just been smashed with a bat.
"An illusion?" She asked herself. Her eyes were wide open and mouth agape.
"Did you know? When one's soul is separated from the body. It felt like hundred swords piercing you, there is no such thing as painless death.
Only those who haven't experienced death dare to openly say that."
Furasa and her elder brother were confused by his words, did this mean Narukami had died before?
"Reincarnation?" Furasa softly muttered.
There was such a thing in this world but it required a ridiculous price and the process itself was unknown.
Narukami didn't affirm it, nor did he deny it.
Her elder brother who just experienced a quick death. This death seemed to be painless but in truth shockingly painful, he nodded his head as he confirmed Narukami's words.
Next, Narukami shifted his line of sight to Furasa and the latter instantly grasped his meaning.
"Why did you do this?"
Her elder brother didn't say anything as he recalled Narukami's threat. Narukami nonchalantly said, "speak."
Hearing his words, he nodded and gazed at Furasa.
He hesitated for a short moment before replying, "to bring back the Furasa clan to its peak once again."
For glory, huh? Narukami silently pondered.
"Are you planning on fighting All Beyond?" She asked with her eyebrows knitted together. How she came up with this question was because of her elder brother's previous goal: decreasing All Beyond's manpower.
"It's beyond that and even if I tell you. You wouldn't understand."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Okay." She grunted in acknowledgment and covered her entire body with spiritual energy, just in case. Not because she doubted Narukami, but everything could happen.
Narukami spread out his arms to his shoulder and his shadow increased in size.
