Gu was startled by his words and lost his calm for a brief moment. He paused a bit longer as he wondered silently about something and he opened his mouth as he said, "Sixth, that is the higher ups' decision. For them, we are all chess pieces."
Narukami retorted indirectly, "I don't know the Third Child likes to be a chess piece, here I am expecting that you would hate it or despise it."
Gu shook his head, "how come I? Sixth, will you turn your back on a person who saved your life?"
Narukami turned silent as he wondered and quickly noticed his meaning and replied, "I'm not saying to stab them in the back in general, this is different as it is for their own good. Don't you want to try changing the person who saved your life if they became worse?"
Seeing Gu's expression flickered slightly, he pushed him, "with your character, I don't think you are going to hesitate to do it. My request is simple, so simple that the seven-year-old could do it."
"Are you saying Gu-sama isn't any better than a child?!" Vivi glared. If looks could kill, perhaps Narukami had already turned into meat paste.
Narukami ignored her and added, "don't worry, our fight continues and you could refuse my request. Think it carefully, Gu.
"Well then, come." Narukami made a provocative move with his right hand and Vivi was the one who made the first move.
Narukami didn't hold anything back and fought with his might.
This girl simply was too dangerous, he didn't know the reason but his sense of danger and battle instinct kept spamming this.
He was unsettled. Never he got this kind of feeling and even fighting with that dragon Anomaly, that feeling didn't last five seconds yet, right now.
He was perplexed.
Her body shot straight at him with incredible speed, the wind whistled as she was getting closer.
"Die!" Vivi viciously shouted as a golden and ancient spear with a red dragon coiling around it appeared from the thin air and gripped tightly in her right hand.
Narukami's eyes narrowed in danger. He realized why he was unsettled.
The moment that spear appeared, the greater that feeling was.
What is that spear? He asked himself with narrowed eyes but as their distance closed in, he put that thought aside.
Stab forward her spear and aimed at Narukami's heart, she smiled when the edge of her spear a centimeters away from him.
However, before he could hear that satisfying sound of a heart being pierced and melodious scream. She noticed that her spear stopped before the sharp point touched his left chest's skin.
All she needed was a single push and by then, his heart would be penetrated! This seemingly easy thing and something she did frequently was shockingly hard.
Her eyes and mouth were wide open. She looked at Narukami as if he was a monster.
The reason why her spear stopped was that Narukami produced black particles in the form of bacteria. Each of these particles was dense and tough.
These particles were from his Void element. Most of Void's technique was almost about debuffing and decreasing one's power count.
Let's say the kinetic energy in her spear was around two million joules and every black particle absorbed a hundred joules.
Since the black particles were around two hundred thousand, it was certain that her spear stopped.
Of course, producing one particle drained a lot of his spiritual energy. Even the average peak of Level 8 could only make ten before their spiritual energy sucked dry.
Now, Narukami's spiritual energy was seventy percent left. This was already astronomical for Narukami.
If he kept doing this, his spiritual energy probably used already before injuring Vivi.
"Closer look, you're beautiful." Narukami smiled as he leaned forward his face to her. She instinctively tilted her back.
They could feel each other's breath and warmth.
Narukami then touched her spear and before he could do anything. Vivie was alarmed. She pulled back her spear and it worked, or at least that was what she thought.
Narukami's physical strength was enormously terrifying. It was as though her spear was stuck in a mountain! It won't budge no matter how hard she struggled.
"Your expression is incredibly cute right now," Narukami smiled teasingly.
As his facial expression temporarily returned. He could say everything in his mind without being blocked.
When his expression was stolen, he somehow couldn't bring himself to express what he was feeling.
This was incredibly vexing for him and he sometimes cursed about this. But he turned silent when he thought that most of the negative effects of powerful artifacts were something between 'agonizing death' and 'living in insanity.'
Although what he was in was the latter, it was still tolerable.
So an artifact to arrange fate as though a melody exchanged for his facial expressions were a good deal, a very, very, very good deal. Notice the three words there.
Furthermore, his stolen expressions sometimes returned, allowing him to let out the feelings which were trapped in him.
"Let go!" Vivi swung her spear to her right side and Narukami let go. Vivi immediately increased their distance.
Seeing that attack of hers failed rippled her confidence. She was uncertain if she should attack or not. Should all of her attacks be easily stopped like that.
It only made a fool of herself. She wasted all of her stamina and strength yet for naught. What was the difference between hitting the air then?
At least doing so caused the air to be cut or pierced and she felt the sensation of it. Yet to Narukami, she felt nothing.
It was an unfathomable feeling and quite hard to tell with words.
"My turn now," he said simply as he vanished from the spot. Leaving electric strands in the air and the next thing she knew, he was already behind her.
Vivi turned her head and met with a sword made out of lightning that was about to pierce her stomach.
She avoided it but it was too late, his movements were too fast.
Closing her eyes as she prepared for the pain, she gritted her teeth but the pain she was anticipating never came.
Opening her eyes, she found that she was distant, and replacing her original position was a log which was struck in lightning before turning to ashes.
"Space element, this is troubling," Narukami concluded what had just transpired. Prior to Narukami's sword about to stab her, she disappeared and what reappeared was a log.
While Vivi was where that log position was.
Narukami looked at Gu and said, "I guess some rumors are just rumors, your Space element is more terrifying than what they suggest."
"It is an honor to be able to receive a compliment from you," replied him politely. The arrogance in his eyes could no longer be seen.
"The honor is on me," Narukami smiled indifferently. This was a popular trait of Gu, once he viewed his enemy seriously. The arrogance in him had already vanished, replaced with proud and aloof.
Gu unsheathed his sword and it let out a sharp glint of light, as well as that crisp and ringing voice. The former reverberated in the air for a few seconds before turning the battlefield back to its original state.
Gu assumed a fighting stance and Narukami looked at him calmly.
"Retract," Gu said and the space seemed to bend. On where Narukami was, he felt the space around him became unstable and chaotic.
Without knowing, Narukami was already in front of Gu! Relying on his battle sense, he was able to dodge Gu's attack that aimed at his body.
If it was a hair's breadth, there would be a deep and long slash across his body, causing him to lose a lot of blood and his strength might sharply decline.
If one on one, that wasn't a problem but his opponents were experts that had participated in many battles, gaining important lessons from fighting as their lives hang on the thread and All Beyond did their best effort in grooming them.
Narukami's goal was not them but Furasa's elder brother. He didn't know how strong her elder brother was and so, he absolutely had to keep as much spiritual energy as he could for the final fight.
Narukami simply swayed his arm from left to right in an arc manner. Following this were hundreds of lightning arrows that form in the air and simultaneously shot at him.
Raining down on him and had no way to escape. Instead in despair, his expression was calm as he watched those arrows raining on him.
However, before these lightning arrows could touch him. They were stopped moving in the air! All of the arrows were stopped in mid-air as soon as they almost touched Gu.
Not even his skin was injured.
"Pressure," Gu said as he clenched his fist. Thus causing the arrows to condense. These arrows didn't have any physical property in them, entirely made with spiritual energy and to use it on a bunch of arrows, showed that Narukami's spiritual qi was vast than himself.
He was shocked but thankfully could control it.
