Realizer of Death : The Reaper

Time returns to when Tenku was hit by a fireball and fell into a large hole from the attack. Even though he was swallowed up in the explosion, Tenku was unscathed as he had covered his body with a Qi membrane just before the fireball hit him.

Tenku landed safely after falling into the hole and looked at the surroundings. He took an orb from his space pocket and pressed the button. Then it glowed and illuminated the place. The orb was Kaziya's artificial lighting device and could brighten an area over a hundred meters in radius for several hours.

When the light was turned on, Tenku was slightly shocked. He didn't expect that there was a vast cavern under the meadow where they fought monsters. Tenku walked through the area carefully while checking his surroundings.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

The sound of his footsteps echoed through the cavern. After walking for a long time, Tenku suddenly stopped because he heard something. He had difficulty pinpointing the exact location because the cavern was dark, and the sounds in the place reverberated.

Grrrrrrr!

"What's that?" Tenku frowned and tried to figure out where the sound was coming from. Not long after, he arrived at a vast area, and what he saw there shocked him.

"I'm lucky to find a lot of monsters here. This huge cavern should be where that black-robed person hid the monsters he summoned in battle." Tenku grinned. He quickly turned off the lighting device in his hands so the monsters would not notice his presence.

"Why are those monsters just circling that place? Are they under someone's control? No. They are conscious, but their senses are restricted as if blocked by something. If I appear within their senses, the monsters may attack me." Zeel watched.

"Goblins, lone wolves, orcs, ogres..." Tenku mentioned the monsters in that place one by one. But his voice stopped when he saw two giant beasts lurking in the darkness at the corner of the area. His face changed when he saw that monster. Tenku checked the data from his dimension watch and frowned.

"Drake and Cactus Golem?" Tenku said in disbelief. He didn't expect to see the fourth and fifth-level monsters in the cave.

Drake is a fourth-level monster in the form of a giant wingless dragon while Cactus golem is a fifth-level monster in the form of a huge cactus plant with arms and legs and wearing a crown on its head.

"The two monsters seemed quite troublesome." Tenku sighed and then put on his main combat gear.

"I must use my full power from the start if I don't want to die in this cavern." Tenku narrowed her eyes, and the atmosphere around him changed drastically.

"Then let's start the massacre." Tenku said in a low voice and jumped into the middle of the orc horde.

The monsters reacted when he suddenly appeared, just as Tenku had expected. The orcs were shocked when they saw humans among them. The monsters didn't have time to say anything as Tenku swiftly swung his scythe in a circle and chopped off the heads of the surrounding orcs.

Roaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrr!

After Tenku started his massacre, the ogres and lone wolves not far from him also felt his presence and rushed toward him.

Tenku jumped up, swung her scythe vertically, and sliced an ogre in half. After he landed, his figure disappeared and reappeared near the horde of goblins who still hadn't noticed his presence. Tenku attacked the monsters with terrible speed. He swung his scythe and killed dozens of goblins instantly.

He had to kill the surrounding monsters before dealing with the Drake and Cactus Golem. Tenku would be troubled if ogres and lone wolves attacked him while fighting fourth and fifth-level monsters.

"I can use this situation to train the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique to the King stage." Tenku muttered and looked at the monsters of various levels around him, which numbered over three hundred.

The Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique is a scripture for training the use of all weapons. One must understand the basics of using weapons before practicing the scriptures. The Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique was divided into seven stages according to skill level.

Beginner

Intermediate

Advanced

Mastery

King

Saint

Emperor

Tenku had trained the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique to the mastery stage and had excellent control over several weapons.

Tenku smiled as he saw the orcs, lone wolves, and ogres surrounding him from all directions. As the monsters closed in on him, he gripped his scythe with both hands and swung it in circles while spinning himself so fast that it created a vortex. It grew bigger and formed a tornado that swallowed up the monsters that came to Tenku.

Roaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrr!

Kikkk!

The monsters became minced meat when they came within the range of the tornado, and the others were blown away by the impact. What hit them was not the wind but a crescent blade swung circularly at high speed.

After that, another wave of monster hordes came flooding into Tenku, but they ended the same when it came into contact with the tornado. Their bodies were torn to pieces, and they died instantly.

Tenku stopped his spin, and the tornado disappeared. Then he kept his distance from the monsters and opened his mouth.

"Rotate!"

The gear on the scythe rotates. The position of the blade became aligned with the shaft, and the weapon changed into a spear. More precisely, it turns into a pole sword, or called a naginata in Japan.

Tenku twirled the naginata in his hand and gave successive thrusts at the ogres in front of him. That strike was one of the moves in the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique.

Thousands of stabs!

Tenku pierced the hearts of dozens of ogres with pinpoint precision. The monsters couldn't do anything when faced with the lightning-fast attack that was invisible to their eyes.

"Shorten!" Tenku muttered, and the long shaft of the naginata shortened to the size of a sword hilt. Tenku's weapon changes to another form and becomes a great sword.

Tenku's fighting style keeps changing completely when his weapon changes. From initially a scythe user, a spear user, and now a swordsman.

Tenku dashed into the midst of the horde of monsters, swung his greatsword, and cut dozens of orcs in one fell swoop. Tenku compressed the Qi in his weapon and slashed it hundreds of times at astonishing speed at the monsters around him.

Thousands of slashes!

Hundreds of Qi blades shot out and cleanly cut the bodies of the ogres, orcs, and lone wolves in that place. The monsters had no resistance at all against Tenku.

After that, Tenku disappeared again, appeared in the middle of the monster horde, and slashed them. Wherever he appeared, blood spurted, monsters' heads floated in the air, or their bodies split in half. Tenku looks like the grim reaper who takes the lives of monsters.

The vast cavern became empty and quiet after the monsters other than the drake and cactus golems died in less than fifteen minutes.

In that battle, Tenku didn't use genesis power in his attacks but Qi. Because of that, he didn't look tired even though he had to fight hundreds of monsters alone.

Tenku sighed and looked at Drake and the cactus golem, who still didn't move from their places. He decided to collect cores from monsters around him before fighting against Drake and the cactus golem.

He excitedly picked up the cores of the monsters he had killed that scattered around him. Tenku didn't take long to collect cores from a quarter of the monster corpses in that place. As he was about to approach the nearby ogre corpse, the alarm in his mind rang loudly, and Tenku's face changed upon noticing a fireball was coming at him.

Boooooooooommmmmm!

The fireball exploded where Tenku was standing before.

"I didn't expect Drake to notice my presence and sneakily attack me. Fortunately, I was able to dodge quickly. But..." Tenku's face darkened as he saw the many monster cores destroyed by the attack.

"It seems I have to finish you before harvesting the monster cores." Tenku said seriously, and his Phantasmal Object returned to a scythe form.

Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Drake roared in anger after realizing that his attack had failed. The monster finally moved from his spot and ran toward Tenku. Every step of his feet shook the cavern.

Tenku tightly gripped his scythe. He was ready to collide with the drake that came at him, opening his jaws wide and intending to tear him apart with his fang.

Clank!

The drake's fang clashed with the Tenku's scythe and created sparks. Tenku felt his hands go numb when his weapon collided with the monster.

"After all, drakes are fourth-level monsters and are also a subspecies of dragons." Tenku narrowed her eyes and charged at the monster again. He recalled when he had fought the wyverns. At that time, Tenku also felt overwhelmed by that monster.

Apart from the fact that the monster was flying in the sky and making it difficult to attack, the wyvern also had hard scales. Tenku manages to defeat the wyvern with an extra effort, and the drake will share the same fate with that monster.

Tenku raised her eyebrows and quickly jumped up from where he was standing after seeing the drake wag its tail at him.

Booooooomm!

When his feet landed on the ground, Tenku saw Drake running towards him angrily, opening his mouth wide and intending to shoot a fireball.

Tenku smiled beneath her mask and fearlessly attacked the drake from the front. When the monster shot the fireball, Tenku suddenly surfed under the monster and slashed its scythe at the bottom of the drake's stomach.

Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr!

Drake roared in pain, but Tenku's attacks weren't over yet. He jumped into the air and compressed the Qi on his scythe. Tenku wanted to slash the drake's neck and quickly finish their battle. When Tenku was about to swing his weapon, his face changed when he saw a one-meter-long thorn shot at him at high speed. Tenku shifted the target of his attack from the drake to the large thorn.

Clank!

"Ugh!" Tenku was blown away a few meters and looked where the huge thorn was coming from.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A giant cactus humanoid walked towards Tenku, accompanied by vibrations and loud footsteps echoing through the cavern.

"This battle was becoming more and more difficult." Tenku sighed heavily, and his face became solemn when he saw the cactus golem coming at him.
