Realizer of Death : The Reaper

After Tenku and the two girls exited the cave, the nearby Drakes quickly noticed their presence. Fortunately, there were only three monsters in the area because the others were still looking for them in the east.

Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The Drakes roared and opened their mouths wide. Each of them shot a huge fireball toward the cave.

"Now!" Tenku signaled Wang Ruyue and Huang Yuxin to release their full power. The two girls nodded after hearing his words.

"Phantasmal Release..."

PHOENIX WINGS

Huang Yuxin released her Phantasmal Object first. She spread her fan, and the fireballs from the Drakes suddenly stopped right in front of them. After that, the fireballs merged and formed a giant firebird.

Kwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkk!!

The phoenix cried and entered Huang Yuxin's body. Then a pair of huge wings of fire appeared from the girl's back and burned the surroundings. Surprisingly, his clothes were not damaged in the slightest.

Tenku quickly distanced himself from her, but Wang Ruyue stayed where she was and opened her mouth.

"Phantasmal Release..."

MOON RABBIT POSSESSION

Wang Ruyue's body was enveloped by a bright light that illuminated the surroundings. It slowly compressed into his hair and turned a silver color.

On the surface, Wang Ruyue only seemed to change the color of her hair, unlike Huang Yuxin, who appeared majestically with huge wings of fire on her back. But the true effect of his Phantasmal Object ability was a limit break.

After her hair turned silver, Wang Ruyue's strength, speed, sensitivity, and reflexes skyrocketed. The effect didn't only apply to her Realizer phase but also her cultivation base. In that mode, Wang Ruyue possessed the power of a Realizer in the asteroid phase, and her cultivation base increased by one small level to the great perfection of the Earth Origin realm.

Huang Yuxin flapped her wings of fire and slowly floated in the air. Then she waved her fan at one of the Drakes, and a huge fire engulfed the monster.

Roaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The burning Drake roared at Huang Yuxin and shot another fireball. The other monsters moved and charged at Wang Ruyue. But before Drake could get closer to her, she suddenly appeared at the monster's right side and swung her sword.

Slash!

A large silver sword Qi shot out and carved a scar across the monster's neck.

Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

In that mode, Wang Ruyue could use the sword Qi. Unfortunately, the attack only left a shallow wound due to the tough defense of Drake's scales. After that, Wang Ruyue moved to the other side of the monster and slashed her blade. She continuously moved to different sides of the Drake and bombarded it with the sword Qi.

Roaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The Drake wagged its tail in annoyance with Wang Ruyue's consecutive attacks. But the girl had disappeared from her position and reappeared some distance from the monster.

Apart from increasing her body's strength and other stats, the limit break of her Phantasmal Object ability also reduced pain while she was in that mode. Because of that, Wang Ruyue could make large movements even though her body was injured.

"They fought well after using the abilities of their Phantasmal Objects. But... it doesn't look like it's going to last long. In that case, I'll take care of the one remaining Drake while they are busy with their respective opponents. I can't waste time and must help them immediately." Tenku watched their battle quietly and then shifted his eyes to a Drake that still hadn't moved until now.

Tenku moved at a terrifying speed and closed the distance with the Drake in the blink of an eye. The monster noticed his presence, but it was too late because Tenku had secretly changed his Phantasmal Object with the Devourer Sycthe.

Slash!

Roaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Tenku managed to cut half of Drake's neck, but it was still not enough to kill the monster. He quickly exchanged his Phantasmal Object for the Golden Revolver and aimed it at the wound he had made. After that, Tenku pulled the trigger.

Thousands of Bullets!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Tenku multiplied his bullets using one of the moves of the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique, and the attack was similar to the one he used in the final round of the martial arts competition.

The third-level monster cores in Golden Revolver will become dozens after being shot. It was the compression of a large amount of Qi condensed into dozens of orbs.

Even though it was strong and could save him money, the damage couldn't be compared to bullets using monster cores. But a dozen shots of the Qi bullets were enough to completely cut Drake's neck and plunge the monster into darkness forever.

"As usual, Golden Revolver overheated after I used a monster core above its current level. I can't use it often like that and have to change its form to lessen the side effects. Otherwise, my Phantasmal Object might be destroyed." Tenku looked at the Golden Revolver in his right hand and smiled bitterly.

"After killing two Drakes, the amount of genesis power I gained was about the same as when I killed over one hundred and fifty werewolves. As I thought, I can only hunt fourth-level monsters and above if I want to increase my strength quickly." Tenku closed his eyes and felt a large amount of genesis power absorbed into his body. But it was only for a moment, and he quickly opened his eyes.

"So, how is the battle of the two girls now?" Tenku turned his eyes toward Huang Yuxin and Wang Ruyue.

"Hmm... They fought well. The two of them could use their Phantasmal Objects proficiently and suppress fourth-level monsters. If they could use that in martial arts competitions, they might be able to compete with Long Aotian and Lin Zhantian.

But Wang Ruyue and Huang Yuxin seemed to be reaching their limit soon. Their current state wouldn't be able to handle that power for too long." Tenku sighed and then looked at the surroundings.

"Where's that old man? Shouldn't he act when he sees their current state? Is he serious about asking me to protect the two girls?" Tenku said in annoyance.

He thought that Wang Haotian was joking about his request for Tenku to protect the two girls and that geezer would still appear to help them when they were in danger. But his thoughts turned out to be wrong. Wang Haotian really threw the responsibility onto his disciple.

"This is troublesome. He added unnecessary work to me." Tenku sighed a second time and complained in a low voice. But he still had to because he didn't want the two girls hurting.

Tenku loaded his Golden Revolver with second-level monster cores and then aimed it at the eyes of the Drake that Wang Ruyue was fighting against. After confirming the target, he pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The bullet shot at lightning speed and easily pierced one of the monster's softest parts, the eye.

Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The Drake went berserk after being injured in the eye and losing its sight ability. On the other hand, Wang Ruyue didn't need to guess what had happened. She already knew that Tenku had helped her when she heard the gunshots.

Wang Ruyue didn't want to waste the chance that he had created. She moved to the Drake's right side and compressed the genesis power in her blade. After that, Wang Ruyue slashed at the shallow gash on the monster's neck that she had made.

Thousands of Slashes!

Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Wang Ruyue released dozens of aura blades and cut Drake's wound deeper and deeper until the monster's throat was cut open, and it died.

"Okay, another one has fallen. Next, I have to help Huang Yuxin. But before that…." Tenku looked at Drake's corpse beside him and quickly dug out the monster core from that giant's body. After storing it in his space pocket, he jumped into the sky and positioned himself directly above the Drake, who was having a fierce battle with Huang Yuxin.

"Phantasmal Release..."

NINE TRANSFORMATIONS

SECOND FORM : ASSAULT RIFLE MODE

Tenku unleashed the ability of his Phantasmal Object and transformed his Golden Revolver into an assault rifle. Then he loaded the magazine with third-level monster cores. This way, his Phantasmal Object would not overheat even if he used high-level bullets. Tenku pointed the weapon at Drake below and then pulled the trigger.

Thousands of Bullets!

Ratatatatatatatatatatatatatatata!

Tenku showered the Drake with massive amounts of bullets from monster cores and compressed Qi. Even though the defense of Drake's scales was very strong, Tenku managed to make a lot of shallow wounds on the monster's body with his successive attacks.

Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Drake roared and finally noticed Tenku's presence in the sky. Huang Yuxin also followed its gaze. She was happy that Tenku had come to help her and was surprised to see that his Phantasmal Object had changed shape. But Huang Yuxin didn't have time to think about that because she had to kill the Drake when Tenku distracted that monster.

Huang Yuxin created dozens of flaming spears and then dropped them right at the wound Tenku had made. Her attack pierced all parts of Drake's body, including its head. Huang Yuxin's fiery spear could easily penetrate Drake's defenses because Tenku had opened a path for her.

Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The Drake didn't expect Huang Yuxin to attack so lethally when its attention briefly shifted to Tenku. The monster turned its eyes to Huang Yuxin but couldn't do anything as its consciousness slowly faded, and its body fell to the ground. The Drake has been killed.

"I succeeded… eh?" Huang Yuxin said excitedly but suddenly felt dizzy, and her vision blurred. The wings of fire on her back disappeared, and she lost his ability to fly. If she fell from that height, then she would die. But a few meters before Huang Yuxin hit the ground, someone suddenly appeared and hugged her slender waist.

"Oops...that was close." Tenku used his condensed Qi to step through the air and save Huang Yuxin.

"Tenku?" Huang Yuxin was familiar with the voice of the person who saved her and could faintly see his face. But before Tenku replied to her words, he heard a roar from a distance. The other Drakes had returned after they noticed the battle at that place.

Tenku turned his eyes towards Wang Ruyue and found that girl collapsed on her knees from exhaustion and pain. He quickly darted towards her and took her in another hand.

"Huh!? Tenku!?" Wang Ruyue was initially startled when she saw someone suddenly appear and put an arm around her waist. But when she saw that the person was Tenku, she calmed down and felt happy. Tenku took the two girls back into the cave and let them sit on a large rock.

"Good job. Now you two must recover your condition and leave the rest to me." Tenku smiled and patted the two girls' heads gently to compliment them.

Wang Ruyue and Huang Yuxin closed their eyes and enjoyed her treatment. But then they panicked after remembering his words. They opened their eyes, but Tenku was gone and left only one sentence.

"Please trust me."

Huang Yuxin and Wang Ruyue fell silent when they heard that words. They clenched their fists tightly and decided to believe him.

"I pray for your victory."

"You must return safely."

The two girls looked towards the cave entrance and said simultaneously.

After exiting the cave and leaving the two girls inside, Tenku saw dozens of Drakes approaching his location.

"It seems like I should fight more seriously. But I wonder how much my strength will increase after killing all those Drakes." Tenku grinned and manifested the Devourer Scythe in his left hand. After that, he shot toward the Drake horde like a cannonball.
