Realizer of Death : The Reaper



Time goes back to when Tenku fought the Mithril Golem. Setsuka and the others couldn't focus on their battle against the low-level monsters because they were worried about him.

Luckily it didn't bother them too much, and the girls managed to kill the Ogres and Orcs around them. The only monsters left in that place were a few Mutant Rats. But the other low-level monsters were still numerous in the area and scattered in all directions.

Kirika and the others had only killed a fraction of the monsters nearby and still had to fight hundreds more.

"Is it okay to let Tenku fight the monsters alone?" Kaede looked at her best friend and asked.

"I'm sure he'll be fine." Setsuka replied, but her expression was the opposite of her words. She had faith in Tenku but couldn't help but worry about him because his opponents were sixth-level monsters, especially Mithril Golems.

"You are right. He will be fine. It's just that the monster is a little troublesome." Kirika nodded in agreement with Setsuka's words.

"Yes, Mithril Golems are troublesome even for people from the organization. To defeat that monster, we need at least a group of five to six Realizers in the planetary phase or two Realizers in the star cluster phase." Setsuka added.

"This is the first time I've seen a Mithril Golem in person, and I've only gotten a bit of information from the database in the Holy Union. What makes monsters troublesome?" Kaede turned her eyes to Kirika and asked curiously.

"I don't know much about it either. I only heard the story from one of my seniors in the League of Heroes. He fought Mithril Golems a few years ago with a few Realizers." Kirika replied.

"Then what makes Mithril Golems so difficult to fight?" Kaede repeated her question. Setsuka quietly drew closer to Kirika to hear her words.

"Firstly, the Monster is a kind of golem of inanimate matter and will not feel pain when injured. The monster could notice when it was hurt but could not feel it. So the Mithril Golem could continuously attack its opponent regardless of its injuries.

Second, you probably already know about this, but I will say it anyway. The monster's defense was tough and was below the true dragon because its entire body was made of Mithril. Third, the Mithril Golem has fast and deadly attacks. The monster could fire it from anywhere from its whole body." Kirika explained.

"I see." Kaede responded curtly. Then she and Setsuka turned their attention to Tenku.

After that, everything Kirika said in her explanation happened in the fight between Tenku and Mithril Golem. The monster felt no pain when Tenku slashed at it, and its body blocked all the attacks. Moreover, the Mithril Golem shot a sword and spear from its body at high speed. Kirika and the others felt that the attack looked very dangerous.

Setsuka's attention was kept on the battle between Tenku and Mithril Golem. Her heart was in her throat when she saw the attack from the monster hit Tenku and manage to tear his jacket. She could see that Tenku was a bit overwhelmed by his opponent.

But the battle situation suddenly changed. Tenku became increasingly active in attacking Mithril Golems. He slashed at the monster's waist with his Phantasmal Objects continuously at the same point. Not long after, Tenku finally cut the Mithril Golem into pieces. The gigantic body of the monster fell to the ground and made a small earthquake.

Boooooooooommmmmmmmmm!

"Amazing. Tenku won." Kaede looked at Setsuka and said in disbelief.

"Yes, he won." Setsuka smiled when she saw that. She was relieved that Tenku managed to defeat the Mithril Golem unharmed.

"What are you surprised about? He would win because his opponent was only a sixth-level monster. He even killed the Minotaur easily and saved Mr. Benjiro. So you don't need to overreact." Kirika entered into their conversation and puffed out her chest proudly.

"Huh? What are you proud of? You don't have any relation with him. The one who should feel that way is Setsuka." Kaede replied in annoyance.

"What are you saying? Isn't she just a friend to Tenku?" Kirika sneered and glanced at Setsuka.

Kaede was angry when she heard that. But before she could answer Kirika's words, Setsuka opened her mouth first.

"Yes, you're right. I'm just a friend and senior to him. But that's only for now. I'm sure our relationship will take another step soon." Setsuka smiled and responded calmly to Kirika.

Kirika and Kaede were surprised because they could see the confidence in Setsuka's eyes. The two girls envied her for different reasons.

"Is that so? Then, I want to see if your words will come true. But I will borrow your words to reply to your statement. I will not lose to you or any woman, even though you have known her much longer than me." Kirika said with a face full of determination.

Kirika and Setsuka's eyes met, and sparks appeared between them. On the other hand, Kaede felt sad because she was being ignored by the two girls again.

"Alright. Tenku had already defeated one of the Mithril Golems. So we can't lose to him. We must immediately exterminate the low-level monsters in this area. Let's continue our competition and be prepared to lose." Setsuka said to Kirika provocatively.

"Coincidentally, that is the line I wanted to say to you. Please don't cry after you lose to me." Kirika smiled broadly and responded fearlessly to Setsuka's words.

The two girls wanted to go where the low-level monsters gathered. But before moving from their positions, Kirika and Setsuka found the sky suddenly covered by a large magic circle.

"What's that?" Kaede said in confusion.

"I don't know." Setsuka answered briefly. Kirika shook her head and showed that she knew nothing about it.

Not long after, a magic circle in the sky rotated, and a tiny purple light appeared and fell like raindrops.

"What's this?" Setsuka stretched out her hand and touched the purple light. But she couldn't feel anything from it.

Setsuka also didn't notice any change in her body after she touched that purple light. She thought it would not affect her. But then Kaede suddenly shouted frantically at her.

"Look at that, Setsuka!" Kaede pointed at the horde of Ogres.

Setsuka turned his eyes to where Kaede was pointing, and she was shocked to see the monsters roaring and their eyes turning blood red. Aside from the Ogre, the other low-level monsters were also in the same state after being touched by the purple light.

"They went into a berserk state." Kirika muttered after seeing the state of the monsters.

"But how could that be? They were in their normal state before and didn't fight with anyone. So how come they suddenly went into a berserk state?" Kaede asked Kirika. She knew the Ogres, Orcs, and Mutant Rats showed symptoms when they entered a berserk state. But Kaede was confused about the reason the monsters had become like that.

"I think the cause is this rain of purple light. We don't feel anything from it, but it affects the monsters. Those purple lights seemed to change their psychology and made them angry. The result was that the monsters went into a berserk state." The one who answered Kaede's question was Setsuka.

She came to such a conclusion after watching the monsters after the purple light touched their bodies. Setsuka was sure that Kaede would be able to figure it out on her own after she analyzed the situation.

"You are right. This rain of light seems to have been created by the terrorists to mess up this mission." Kirika agreed to Setsuka's words.

"A member of the Ghost Nebula organization?" Kaede frowned when she heard that. Kirika didn't say anything and just nodded in response.

"That gigantic metal wall could also be the work of those people. The terrorists want to split the power of the three official organizations and weaken us. After that, those people will strengthen the monsters by making them go into a berserk state." Setsuka said in a deep voice.

"Yes. From the start, we've felt pressured because the number of monsters that emerged from space collapse is far greater than the Realizers participating in this mission. If our opponent's strength were to increase suddenly, our fighting spirit would crumble, and they would fall into a depressed state because of this dangerous situation.

In other words, we won't be able to complete this mission because the Realizers' mentality is destroyed, and our strength is far below that of the monsters. So we will die on Mount Kumotori in the end." Kirika added, and the three girls' faces turned gloomy.

"So what about the students from Suisei High School?" Kaede looked at Setsuka and asked frantically.

"What we can do now is kill all the low-level monsters in this area quickly and destroy that metal wall. After that, we can help them." Setsuka answered.

Then she turned her eyes to Tenku. Setsuka felt the same way as Kaede but was even more worried about Tenku because the Mithril Golem had turned into a seventh-level monster. The monster's strength must have increased drastically after it entered its berserk state.

Tenku was overwhelmed when he fought a Mithril Golem before, and the monster managed to rip his jacket. Setsuka feared Tenku would be in danger if he fought the current Mithril Golem.

"You don't need to worry. We must believe in him. Hadn't he defeated one of those monsters? I'm sure that Tenku will be able to face the Mithril Golem even though the monster has entered a berserk state. We should focus on the lower-level monsters around us now. We must kill them all before Tenku finishes his battle with the Mithril Golem." Kaede patted Setsuka on the shoulder and tried to calm her down.

She could feel Setsuka's concern for Tenku when she saw his best friend's face. Even though Kaede wasn't sure, she could only trust Tenku because he was the only person in the area who could face Sixth-level monsters one-on-one. Kaede hoped that Tenku could kill the Mithril Golem. Otherwise, they couldn't leave that place and help the students from Suisei High School.

"She's right. We should focus on fighting those low-level monsters for now, though I know that an Ogre can no longer be said to be one of them after going into a berserk state." Kirika added.

"I understand. Then, let's finish off those monsters quickly." Setsuka nodded at their words. Afterward, they spread out and attacked the low-level monsters near them. At the same time, the battle between Tenku and the Seventh-level monsters started.
