Realizer of Death : The Reaper

"Summon!"

When the black-robed person put down his palm and said that, a circle with a strange pattern appeared on the parchment. Since it was already evening and the sky was already dark, the light emitted from the parchment was quite conspicuous.

Luckily, the area around Ziel's apartment was tranquil at that hour, and the black-robed people were doing it secretly. So it doesn't get people's attention.

"What is he doing? That circle of light with a strange pattern, is that magic circle that master once told me about?" Tenku muttered and drank the isotonic in the bottle until it was dry.

Tenku became curious and waited for what would happen once the magic circle was activated. But then, Tenku frowned when he saw several green creatures appearing from the void around the black-robed person. They were goblins with at least a dozen in number.

He quickly discovered that the parchment contained a teleportation magic circle, and the monsters were transported from somewhere using that. But there was something strange about the state of the goblins as they just stood still and stared blankly at the black-robed person.

"This is troublesome. Was he the reason those goblins suddenly appeared in the city?" Tenku watched the movements of the black-robed person carefully and saw what he would do next with the monsters.

The black-robed person took out another scroll of parchment but of a smaller size. Then he kept his distance from the monsters and opened the scroll. The goblins' empty eyes suddenly lit up as they regained consciousness and spread out over the area, following their instincts.

After seeing that, the black-robed person quickly left the place. But before that, Tenku threw a micro-tracker at him from afar and glued it to his black cloak. It was an item that Kaziya made to track the whereabouts of someone within a hundred kilometers radius. The price is relatively low because Tenku bought it in batches.

"Were the goblins unconscious due to the influence of a skill or ability, and the parchment was a means of liberating them?" Tenku rubbed his chin and analyzed what had happened before his eyes.

"I can't let those monsters rampage in this neighborhood and cause a stir because it would be annoying if Realizers came to this area. It's time to test my shooting practice results and use those goblins as targets." Tenku smiled slightly. He took out a mask from his space pocket and used it on his face.

Tenku jumped from the balcony of his apartment on the second floor of the building and rushed off to find the goblins. First, he would kill the goblins wandering around his apartment and then hunt down the others. After that, Tenku will look for the black-robed person.

It didn't take long for Tenku to find one of the goblins. He manifested his Golden Revolver and loaded it with several cores of first-level monsters into the bullet chamber.

Luckily he still had a few cores that he hadn't had the chance to sell and wouldn't be selling them after learning what those cores could be used for his second Phantasmal Object. Then Tenku pointed his gun at the goblin and aimed his head. Tenku pulled the trigger, and his heart bled from having used a core from a first-level monster as ammunition.

Bang!

Kiiikk!

Tenku's shot missed slightly and hit the goblin's shoulder, but he didn't panic and pulled the trigger again.

Bang!

Blood spurted, and Tenku's shot hit the monster's forehead this time. After confirming that the monster was dead, he rushed to find the other goblins. Tenku felt that the Golden Revolver had become stronger since he killed a bunch of skeletons a few days ago. But the amount of genesis power he got was far less than using the Devourer Scythe.

Tenku easily found the other goblins and quickly finished them with the Golden Revolver. He immediately left the place and went to look for other monsters. Tenku didn't want anyone to hear the gunshots and see him kill the goblins.

After ten minutes had passed, Tenku managed to find all the goblins and kill them. Tenku was quite satisfied with the results of his training in the shooting club, and his abilities improved significantly after using the monsters as targets. But his heart ached after remembering he used dozens of cores from first-level monsters, and some of the goblins he killed didn't have them in their bodies.

"Okay. It's time to find the black-robed man and make him pay for what he's done in my neighborhood. I hate monsters from other worlds and people who use them for their benefit." Tenku said coldly, and his anger flared slightly when he remembered his parents who had died from monsters.

Tenku used his dimension watch to track the whereabouts of the black-robed person, and he found him not far from his current location. The man waited around the area to see the results of his actions.

Tenku took a short walk towards the place and saw the black-robed person hiding while monitoring the situation around him.

"Found you…" Tenku said coldly, and his figure disappeared from the place.

In a narrow street behind a large pillar, a person wearing a black robe and a spooky mask was hiding while monitoring the situation around him.

"Hmm… this is weird. Why haven't I heard the screams from the people around the area yet? Where did the goblins go? Did they not riot and hide instead?" The black-robed person spoke in annoyance.

The black-robed person released the monsters in the area, thinking that the place was the safest since not many people were passing by, but he didn't expect it to be that quiet.

"Should I herd the monsters into a more crowded neighborhood?" The black-robed person looked around and noticed that the area was quiet at that hour. As he focused on observing his surroundings, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Where are you going to lead the monsters?" someone asked coldly.

"I'll take them to a residential area not far from that place… huh!" The black-robed person gasped, and the hair on his body stood. He quickly jumped from that place and raised his vigilance to the maximum. Then he manifested his Phantasmal Object in the form of a sword.

Phantasmal name : Butcher Sword

Grade : E-Rank

But when he looked behind the pillar where he had been hiding earlier, he saw no one.

"Where is that person?" The black-robed person said in confusion and checked his surroundings.

"Was the voice I heard earlier just my imagination?" The black-robed person thought the voice wasn't real, but it sounded again and startled him.

"What are you looking for?" Someone asked from behind.

The black-robed person reflexively swung his sword, but he only cut through the air.

"Who are you?" The black-robed person was sure that the voice wasn't just his imagination.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you about that? Who are you, and what are you doing in this place?" a man with a mask covering part of his face suddenly appeared next to the black-robed person. That man was Tenku, and he had canceled the Golden Revolver manifestation. So right now, he looked defenseless.

"You! Are you from the Holy Union or some other organization?" The black-robed person asked. He felt that Tenku was a dangerous man for daring to appear in front of him. He guessed that Tenku was from one of the official Realizer organizations.

The black-robed person got suspicious when he saw Tenku's appearance with a mask and appeared unarmed. He gripped his sword tightly and thought he should kill Tenku as soon as possible and leave the place immediately.

"Why did you release those monsters in this area?" Tenku didn't answer the black-robed person's question and strolled towards him.

"That is none of your business! You must die knowing what you shouldn't know!" The black-robed person decided to attack first, thinking that Tenku had nothing to protect himself. He had the upper hand in the current situation because Tenku had carelessly not manifested his Phantasmal Object.

"Phantasmal Release..."

BLADEWORK

The black-robed person slashed his sword at Tenku in a strange style with an unpredictable trajectory. But it was useless if the target disappeared.

"What!?" The black-robed person was shocked that Tenku had suddenly disappeared from before his eyes. He was sure that Tenku didn't have a Phantasmal Object in his body. So how could he possibly move like that?

The black-robed person was trying to find Tenku's whereabouts, but he felt his left hand pulled from behind and twisted until it was severed from his body.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" The black-robed person screamed in pain, and his face was terrified when he saw Tenku reappear before him. The Phantasmal Object in his severed hand disappeared into particles of light.

"So, can you answer my question? If that's still not enough, I don't mind pulling out your other hand and your legs." Tenku said indifferently and tightly gripped the remaining hand of the black-robed person. He didn't sound joking and would do as he said if the black-robed person remained silent.

"I will say it! I will tell you everything! Please don't do that! I beg you!" The black-robed person replied in a panic and looked at Tenku in horror. His body shook violently, and his face was pale from fear that Tenku would cut off his right hand.

"Good. So, who are you? Where are you from, and why did you release monsters in this area? If I feel a lie from your answer, I will not hesitate to tear your right hand." Tenku said and tightened his grip on the black-robed person's right hand.

"I wouldn't dare! I'm a lieutenant of the Nebula Ghost organization, and I'm in charge of wreaking havoc in this area!" The black-robed person answered and didn't dare to tell a lie under Tenku's threat.
