Realizer of Death : The Reaper

Yamanaka group is one of Tokyo's leading companies, growing rapidly over the past few years. This cannot be separated from the leadership of the company's owner, Shigeru Yamanaka.

Yamanaka tower is the head office of the Yamanaka group and is one of the tallest skyscrapers in Japan. The building is located in downtown Tokyo and has over forty-five floors.

In a luxurious room on the top floor of Yamanaka tower, Shigeru was sitting at his desk, signing a pile of documents and looking at reports about his company on his computer.

It was his private place, and no one was allowed to enter without his permission because he liked the silence while working. The person who usually comes to that place is the secretary to deliver documents or ask for his signature. Even during the Golden Week holidays, Shigeru still had to come to the office because he had some work to complete directly at Yamanaka tower. But he couldn't work in peace now because he kept glancing at his smartphone periodically.

Shigeru was waiting for a report from his men. They should have texted or called him fifteen minutes ago. But they hadn't given him any news until now, and none of them he could contact. It made his heart feel uneasy.

"Did something happen to them? Did they clash with Setsuka Fuyushima while trying to catch that boy?" Shigeru put down the document in his hand and frowned. The last report he received from his men was that Tenku met Setsuka at the Tokyo station. In addition, Setsuka was accompanied by a little girl, who might be her little sister, because their faces were similar.

After that, Shigeru gets another piece of information from his men that Tenku and Setsuka visited Lake Motosu to spend their vacation together. It strengthens their suspicions that Tenku and Setsuka have a romantic relationship.

When he received the report, Shigeru felt a headache. If that were true, their task of bringing Tenku to him would be much more difficult than he had imagined. Tenku was the person he suspected the most and might have been the murderer of his son

Shigeru would not let the boy go until he had interrogated him. He must catch Tenku even though Fuyushima Temple is behind him. Thus, Shigeru asked his men to keep an eye on Tenku and act swiftly when the boy was alone. But after that, he didn't get any more reports from them until now, and he couldn't contact any of his men.

"No. I've asked them to act carefully and retreat when they meet that girl. They should be able to let me know if that happens. Then why can't any of them be contacted? Has something bad happened to them?" Shigeru's face darkened as he thought of the possibility.

"I will ask the rest of my men to come to Lake Motosu and find out what happened there." Shigeru got up from his seat and called someone on his contacts. He walked over to the window and saw the scene outside. But then Shigeru's face changed drastically as he saw something rushing at him with terrifying speed.

"Damn!" Shigeru quickly manifested his Phantasmal Object in the form of a shield. He tried to block the attacks coming at him, but it was useless. A light projectile easily punctured the bulletproof glass of the building and penetrated Shigeru's defense.

pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ "No way..." Shigeru touched his forehead, and blood covered his hand. The attack easily broke his layered defense and penetrated his head. After that, Shigeru fell, and his consciousness sank into darkness forever.

Until he died, Shigeru didn't know who had attacked him and why he had done it. But he knew it was useless to think about it because there was nothing else he could do.

At the same time, Shigeru fell in his office, Tenku lay down with a sniper in front of him, and a finger pressed on the trigger. He slowly got up and looked in shock at the Phantasmal Object in his hand.

"I didn't expect the third form of Golden Revolver to be so terrifying. Even though this weapon doesn't have a high fire rate like the second form, I can kill monsters or enemies from a very long distance using a sniper. This mode adds variety to my ranged attacks." Tenku muttered and smiled broadly.

The distance between Mount Fuji and Yamanaka Tower was at least hundreds of kilometers. Still, Tenku could hit the target with great precision because he could see Shigeru clearly from his sniper scope. In addition, his attacks could penetrate the defenses of a Realizer with a phase below Planetary. Of course, he had to use fourth-level monster cores as ammunition.

Moreover, the attacks from the third form of Golden Revolver ignore the difference in altitude with the target, wind waves, air humidity, temperature, and the Coriolis effect. Coincidentally, no buildings were blocking his shot from Mt. Fuji to Yamanaka tower. In other words, the bullet went straight toward the target according to what he saw through the sniper scope.

Although the power of his Phantasmal Object sounded almighty, as it could kill enemies anywhere, it also had a weakness.

First, the consumption of genesis power used is very large. The farther the target distance, the more genesis power is needed. In that attack, Tenku had used three-quarters of the amount of genesis power in his body, and now he felt exhausted.

Second, Tenku can only use third and fourth-level monster cores as ammunition. His attack damage would drastically decrease if he loaded it with monster cores below that level. He would not be able to injure a goblin. But if he used a fifth-level monster core, his Phantasmal Object would overheat.

It was the same as when he used the first form of Golden Revolver. His heart bled when Tenku thought he had to use high-level monster cores as bullets.

Third, Tenku cannot release continuous high-speed attacks in sniper mode because the fire rate is very low. In addition, he needed more time to reload his bullets and fire them. So the third form of Golden Revolver is not suitable for close combat.

Fourth, attacks from the third form of Golden Revolver only affect a Realizer below the planetary phase or a cultivator below the innate realm. If he shot someone above that level, the bullet would only cause them light injuries. After that, they would immediately notice someone sneakily attacking them and become alert. But this drawback would disappear when his Realizer phase increased, and he could use fifth-level monster cores.

"I don't think I'll use this third form often." Tenku smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"With this, the matter with Shigeru Yamanaka has been settled. Now it's time to return to Kohana's place." Tenku canceled the manifestation of his Phantasmal Object. He wanted to leave that place as soon as possible. But before he took a step, Tenku heard a rustling sound not far from him.

Rustle!

"Who!?" Tenku quickly manifested his Golden Revolver again and shot a second-level monster core at that place.

Boom!

Tenku moved at high speed toward the source of the sound. But when he got there, he found nothing.

"Is it just the sound of leaves or grass blown by the wind?" Tenku released his divine consciousness to check the area around him and ensure no one else was there. Then he sighed because he couldn't find anyone after searching for quite a while.

"I guess that's just my feeling. In that case, I'd better get back to the two girls immediately. I have been in this place too long, and they must be waiting for me." Tenku muttered and quickly left the place.

***

Time goes back to when Setsuka entrusted Kohana to the two members of the Fuyushima Temple. The girl rushed after Tenku because she felt the boy had a problem.

Even though Setsuka knew that Tenku was powerful, she couldn't help but feel worried. She had to see his situation firsthand to calm her heart. Setsuka hopes to catch up to Tenku as soon as possible.

She shot out at high speed and held a small pentagon wooden plaque. It was a talisman of Fuyushima Temple and served to dispel her presence, be it her body, aura, breath, heartbeat, and pulse. In other words, Setsuka would become like an invisible corpse. She used the talisman so Tenku would not notice her presence. Setsuka didn't want him to become angry with her for following him.

When she arrived at the foot of Mt. Fuji, Setsuka suddenly stopped after she heard a familiar voice. She walked slowly and tried not to make the slightest sound.

Setsuka stopped behind a large tree and peeked in the direction the sound was coming from. She saw Tenku talking to the people in black suits he met yesterday in front of the apartment.

(Those guys again!? What exactly do they want from Tenku!? I should have warned them yesterday not to bother him anymore!)

Setsuka clenched her fists tightly and felt extremely angry when she saw those people. After that, she overheard the topic of their conversation. It turned out that the men in black suits were Shigeru Yamanaka's men, and they wanted to force Tenku to be interrogated about Shinji's death.

She knew about it and didn't care because the teachers had already taken over it. Setsuka didn't expect Shinji's father to act personally and take away the people he suspected.

But then Setsuka felt the atmosphere in the area change after the leader threatened Tenku with one of his friends. Tenku instantly appeared before the black suit people and slashed them in half.

Setsuka quickly covered her mouth, worried she would scream because the sight was horrifying. Her body trembled because this was the first time she saw Tenku make such a cold expression and kill someone without blinking.

Then Tenku devoured their corpses with his Phantasmal Object and climbed Mount Fuji. Setsuka immediately suppressed her fear and followed suit.

After arriving at the top of Mount Fuji, Setsuka was shocked by what she saw and heard. Tenku turned his Phantasmal Object into a sniper and killed Shigeru from there. If Setsuka remembered correctly, the distance between Mt. Fuji and Yamanaka tower should be hundreds of kilometers. But Tenku can kill someone from that distance with great precision.

In other words, that boy could kill anyone within the Tokyo area. Setsuka felt a chill down her spine when she imagined it. She thought she already knew Tenku's true power but was wrong. He is full of mystery, and his strength is unfathomable.

After Tenku kills Shigeru, he intends to leave the place, and Setsuka wants to return to lake Motosu before him. But the girl accidentally stepped on the grass and made a rustling sound.

Rustle!

"Who!?"

(Not good!)

Setsuka ran with all her might and immediately left that place.

Boom!

Setsuka heard an explosion from behind but didn't intend to look at it and continued moving at high speed toward Kohana's place.

It didn't take long for Setsuka to return to Lake Motosu. Her face was full of sweat, and she was panting heavily. She was almost exhausted after running at full speed from the top of Mt. Fuji to Lake Motosu without stopping.

"Fortunately, I was able to return earlier than him." Setsuka sighed and tried to stabilize her breathing. After that, she wiped the sweat off her face and approached Kohana. When the two people saw her return, they greeted her.

"Are your business finished, miss?" The woman asked.

"Yes. Thank you for looking after Kohana for me. Now you can go back or enjoy the scenery here according to your plan." Setsuka said to the two people and smiled.

"You don't need to thank us, miss. This is a trivial matter. In that case, we will be taking our leave now." The man replied, and the two quickly left Setsuka and Kohana.

"Big sister!" Kohana jogged towards Setsuka after noticing her appearance.

"Where have you been!? Where is big brother!?" The little girl looked around but did not find Tenku.

"He..." Setsuka wanted to answer that Tenku had important business. But before continuing her sentence, she heard a voice from behind.

"I'm sorry for making you two wait so long." Tenku walked up to the two girls and said apologetically.

"Big brother!" Kohana jumped into his arms, and the other party caught her gently. She pouted and complained because Tenku had left her for too long.

Kohana had become very close to Tenku after spending time together today. So she didn't hold back from being spoiled by him. Tenku could only smile helplessly and rubbed the little girl's head to comfort her.

Setsuka smiled when she saw that heartwarming sight. She noticed that Tenku's expression became softer when he was with Kohana, making the fear in her heart disappear completely.

She shouldn't be frightened when she saw Tenku slaughter those people because he couldn't have done it without reason. Setsuka is sure that Tenku will never hurt them. She felt guilty for thinking badly of him even if only for a moment.

"Then, should we go home now?" Setsuka looked at the two people, and they nodded simultaneously. Her smile became even wider when she saw the harmony between them.
