His voice was that of envy and seemingly losing confidence in himself.
Narukami lightly flicked his forehead and said, "what are you saying? The both of you defeat one of the higher-ups of Fallen Nightless. Even All Beyond couldn't do something like that."
Ryu smiled as his mood became better.
"You're right. By the way, Shinra, this Xain guy isn't someone that All Beyond particularly finds dangerous. How did he become one of the higher-ups of Fallen Nightless?"
Ryu spirit channeled him after all. There was no way he would miss asking who his enemy was. He was surprised when discovered he had defeated one of the higher-ups but he soon felt proud about it.
Narukami shook his head, "you didn't ask him how he became one?"
"It's too late, his soul dissipated faster than we thought. We could only ask a few questions."
Narukami grunted in acknowledgment and after a short pause, he asked, "So, who is this girl you two wanted to save so badly that you infiltrate their base without a second thought?"
Ryu felt shivered as Narukami's tone was a bit deep and there was a hint of fury in it.
He laughed awkwardly as he replied, "she's Asahi's childhood friend. It looks like his lost memories have some connections to Fallen Nightless. I don't know what he experienced in those days but I assume they kidnapped her to lure him."
As Narukami pondered, he surveyed his surroundings and realized that Asahi wasn't here. Curious, he asked, "where is he?"
"He disguised as one of the members and searched for her location."
"You're not helping?"
"I'm informing him of the situation up here. Once in a while distract some members so that he could easily go deeper," he explained.
"Why don't you simply kill someone, spirit channeling them so as to find where she was, rescue her and escape?"
As Asahi could spirit channeling them without any problem. Narukami felt it was strange they didn't do this, for the fact it was more efficient.
"...oh yeah, we could do that." After a short silence, he said it weakly and ashamed of himself.
If Narukami's lips could twitch, it would've done that convulsively!
He exuded a heavy breath as he said, "I don't understand how you manage to get this far. Just on what stars were you two born under?"
Shortly thereafter, he peeked the ground through the gaps of the ceiling. Why he didn't use spiritual senses was because he assumed there was an item that was sensitive to it.
His location was going to be revealed once he used it.
The spiritual senses he used to search for Ryu and to scan his surroundings were different.
"Do you know the layout of this place?" Narukami asked as he retracted his gaze to Ryu.
The former nodded, "Yeah, if we don't know. We wouldn't be this reckless."
"This reminds me, how did Asahi know his childhood friend was kidnapped? Did he ask Xain about it?" Narukami felt it was odd and couldn't help but to ask that.
"His memories gradually recovered after his monster form. She was kidnapped four days ago," Ryu replied.
Four days ago? Narukami recited in his mind. Simultaneously recalling if there was an odd case that All Beyond discovered.
Unfortunately, there were many cases where people vanished and it was quite impossible to remember who was who.
Of course, with the current technology. Most of the data was stored in a computer but some Sorcerers didn't bother to search for a missing person.
Not only was the reward small, the danger varied.
"Let's move, they'll notice some of their members went missing. Staying here would only be a matter of time before being discovered," Narukami ordered as he carefully crawled on the ceiling.
Ryu nodded as he followed right behind him. After crawling for a few breaths, he asked "Shinra, where are we going? Do you know this place?"
"Contact Asahi through spiritual transmission and tell him to wait at the main hall. It's rather dangerous to act with a half-baked plan.
"You have to know this is the Fallen Nightless base, not a friend's house. They are one of the most sinister, and insane cult organizations in the world.
"They even go as far as using babies' organs as a lucky charm if their members are going to get married."
Hearing his explanation, Ryu felt chills all over his body and his legs slightly went weak.
"Shinra, please don't say that! You know I'm weak with gore stuff!" He said in a hurry.
After a short pause, Narukami said, "sorry, it doesn't mean I want to scare you, but I want you to be careful. I don't want to lose someone as interesting as you."
Ryu felt warmth in his eyes and touched, "Shinra! You still worry about me! I thought you hated me!" Ryu came in his way and hugged Narukami, or at least that was what he thought when he realized he embraced an empty air.
Narukami swiftly dodged to the side as he prepared for it.
"Enough joking, we should hurry."
After finding a way of getting out of the ceiling, they covered their entire figure with a black robe.
These robes were from the members Narukami swallowed earlier. Disguised as them, both Narukami and Ryu easily arrived at the main hall.
"I can't believe it's this easy," Ryu said through spiritual transmission, a bit disbelieving.
"Probably because they haven't noticed an intruder yet-"
"Intruder. Intruder. Intruder."
Just as Narukami was about to finish his words. It was interrupted by loud warning noises and the monotone voice of a woman.
The entire main hall changed its light from white to red.
Narukami looked at Ryu for an explanation and grasping his meaning, he shook his head, "It isn't Asahi! He said it's someone else. As of now, he acts like one of the members chasing the intruder."
Narukami nodded his head upon this chance. Since someone had already made a ruckus, why not use the opportunity to make it a bit chaotic?
"Let's go, Ryu. It would only be a matter of time before they discover us. Time to decrease our enemy's forces," Narukami suddenly said.
Ryu looked at him with brows knitted together as he asked, "how are we supposed to do that?"
"Follow my lead," Narukami simply replied.
He blended in the crowd and 'accidentally' bumped into someone.
"Sorry," he apologized nonchalantly and as that person was about to utter a sound. His entire figure went weak and his muscles stiffened.
Slowly but surely, he lost his line of thought and his mind became incredibly sluggish.
What is going on? The person asked himself. He couldn't do anything as he lost his senses.
A simple shout of help was like the hardest thing in the world for him, something beyond his reach.
Finally, his eyes turned lifeless yet strangely, his body was standing as nothing happened.
Ryu turned his head around to the person Narukami bumped and frowned. He sensed something wrong with that person but couldn't pinpoint what it was.
As if reading his mind, Narukami spoke calmly, "I devour his life force."
Ryu looked at Narukami in shock.
He could easily kill someone with a bump! If that's not terrifying, then what is? Ryu thought inwardly.
"But how?"
As far as Ryu knew, devouring one's life force required a technique that drained quite a lot of spiritual energy.
"I'm a vampire, I can suck everything out of a human body. Different from blood, however, devouring one's life force is a bit tiring and complicated.
"Thankfully, I had mastered it."
He quickly added, "you don't need to know how I did it. What's more important is that we need to kill as many people as possible."
"Okay, but can I ask one more thing? Why was that guy still on his feet despite losing his life?"
He thought for a moment as he replied, "do you know my shadow clone?"
"Yeah," he nodded.
"Where do you think those things are coming from?"
Thinking for a few seconds, he found the answer and was stunned as he replied, "it's from humans?"
"Precisely. You can relax as the humans I killed are those who are about to be sentenced to death."
Ryu silently heaved a sigh of relief.
"Will they notice though that the person before him has lost signs of life?"
"They still need a hundred years to notice my tricks. I poured a bit of my blood in that guy's body, they wouldn't notice a thing."
His blood contained rich vitality. A drop was enough to bring back a Sorcerer who had his heart out of his body and lost his limbs back to his peak in seconds!
After a long pause, he said, "you prepared this much within short seconds? As expected of you, Shinra.
"You really can do everything."
"I can't do everything, I do what I was supposed to do."
Ryu smiled when he heard his response.
In the next few minutes, Narukami had already killed more than a hundred members and not a single soul noticed a thing!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
His voice was that of envy and seemingly losing confidence in himself.
Narukami lightly flicked his forehead and said, "what are you saying? The both of you defeat one of the higher-ups of Fallen Nightless. Even All Beyond couldn't do something like that."
