"What has happened?" Akina looked around and was surprised to find that the Mutant Rats had died. Then she was confused when Takaya and Noboru pointed silently behind her.

Akina turned around and became alert when she saw a person in a black coat wearing a mask standing not far from her. That person is The Reaper. Akina knew that person because she often heard senior Realizers talk about him. In addition, she also saw his fight with Daichi.

Takaya and Noboru quickly moved in front of Akina to protect her. They were also shocked because they didn't know when The Reaper appeared near them and killed the Mutant Rats. The two of them were also as wary as Akina. The Reaper is an illegal Realizer, and they fear the person has bad intentions for them.

"What do you want?" Takaya asked in a trembling voice, and he clenched his fists tightly. He didn't know why but felt terrified as he stood before him.

The Reaper wore a black jacket with several rips from the monster's attacks. Takaya saw that the person had gone through a great and fierce battle. Because of that, he and Noboru could feel an oppressive aura from The Reaper.

"I have no ill will towards you. Besides, are you sure you can stop me if I want to harm you?" Tenku said calmly.

After arriving at the place, Tenku handed Setsuka to Kaede to be taken to the healers and receive intensive treatment. He couldn't let the Realizers in that place see him carrying Setsuka in a princess hug, fearing they would misunderstand and think he would do bad to that girl.

Kaede still has many things that make her curious about Tenku, and she wants to ask him about it. One of those things is how Tenku changed his face to a middle-aged man.

Even though she knew it was a sensitive matter, her heart wouldn't be able to settle down if she didn't ask him about it. Kaede was sure that Tenku wouldn't be angry because she had sworn that she wouldn't say anything about him to anyone else.

But she knew now wasn't the right time to ask that because Setsuka had to get intensive care immediately. Kaede could find another time to meet Tenku and relieve her curiosity.

On the other hand, Kirika doesn't go with Kaede because she has to help the Realizers from the League of Heroes. Originally, she wanted to fight the monsters with Tenku but quickly gave up that intention. Kirika was afraid that the members of her organization would see her and spread gossip. It would damage her image in the League of Heroes and as a popular idol in Japan.

"Then what do you want from us?" Akina added another question to The Reaper because she couldn't believe his words. But then she frowned because she felt familiar when she saw his eyes.

Akina tried to remember where she had seen The Reaper. But no matter how hard she thought about it, she was sure this was the first time she met him.

"I don't want anything from you. I came here to kill monsters and coincidentally helped you. So you don't need to overthink and misunderstand me." Tenku explained. After that, he turned around and wanted to leave the place, but Akina stopped him.

"Wait a minute!"

"What is it?" Tenku looked at Akina and said in a hoarse voice.

"Have we met before?" Akina asked. Her words surprised Takaya and Noboru.

"No. This is the first time we've met." Tenku replied casually, and he left the place without waiting for a reply from Akina.

"Stop!!" Akina raised her voice, but Tenku didn't want to hear it and quickly disappeared from their sight.

"Why do I feel familiar with him when I see his eyes? Who's he?" Akina muttered and looked in the direction Tenku had gone. Then she shook his head and did not consider the matter further. Akina thought it was just her feelings from exhaustion after fighting monsters.

"What's wrong, Akina?" Takaya approached her and asked. Noboru followed behind him.

"It's nothing. We should hurry to help the other students. It seemed they were overwhelmed against the monsters." Akina pointed in a certain direction and reminded the two. Takaya looked where Akina was pointing, and his face darkened as she saw the Mutant Rats surrounding the students.

"You are right. Let's go now!" Takaya said with a full fighting spirit.

"Let's help them!" Noboru added. The three people nodded to each other and left the place.

After Tenku left Akina and the others, he didn't go too far from them. He stood atop a large tree branch and watched the three people from afar for fear that they would be in danger against those low-level monsters.

Additionally, Tenku uses his spiritual sense to monitor the course of the battle in that area and other locations divided by thick metal walls. He sensed that many Realizers in the Planetary phase had gathered in those two places, and their number was close to a hundred.

Tenku didn't know where the three organizations got those people, but he was sure most weren't from the Tokyo branch. Some Realizers fought Mithril Golems in this area and the rest in another location.

He also discovered that the two terrorists that caused the chaotic situation were dead. Tenku suspected that senior Realizers had killed them after their disguises were exposed. He felt that the two people were not very strong and did not have high positions in the Ghost Nebula organization.

Besides, Tenku also checked Setsuka's condition and ensured the girl was fine. Due to the continuous and excessive use of his spiritual sense, his face was pale with exhaustion.

"It looks like I won't have the chance to use my power." Tenku sighed in disappointment. He returned to that location as fast as he could for three reasons.

First, Tenku wants Setsuka to get intensive care immediately so she can wake up. Second, he wanted to ensure the safety of Akina and his friends. Third, Tenku wants to kill the monsters in that place and hopes that he can increase one of his powers. But the third one seemed impossible due to the appearance of dozens of Realizers in that Planetary phase.

"I still have quite a bit of source energy in my body after I killed a lot of monsters. But what strength should I increase? Is it Golden Revolver or my cultivation base?" Tenku pondered and was confused about which power he should increase first. But after thinking about it for a bit, he quickly came up with the answer.

"I will increase my cultivation base. After I break through to the innate realm, the Qi within my body will multiply, and I can use many techniques that I couldn't use at the Sky Origin realm." Tenku said with determination. Then he closed his eyes and started to run the Heaven Swallowing Monarch Scripture.

Even though he is cultivating, Tenku keeps an eye on the situation around him to prevent anything bad from happening to him or his friends. He only needed five minutes to convert the Genesis power he obtained after killing monsters into Profound Qi.

"I could break through the innate realm if I had more Genesis power from the monsters!" Tenku said excitedly and clenched his fist tightly.

He scanned the area around him, looking for which horde of monsters he could slay. But Tenku was disappointed when he saw that the wind in the battle had changed. The Realizers on this mission, who had been under pressure, had managed to reverse the situation after the reinforcements arrived.

The senior Realizers and students from Suisei High School could also handle Mutant Rats and Orcs. So Tenku had no reason to appear and kill those monsters suddenly.

"It seems I must wait longer to break through the innate realm." Tenku sighed and shook his head. But he hoped he could slay a horde of high-level monsters one more time before the mission was complete. But Tenku suddenly raised his eyebrows after thinking about something.

"Ah, I can do that." Tenku grinned and quickly manifested the Golden Revolver. Afterward, he immediately used the ability of his Phantasmal Object.

"Phantasmal Release..."

NINE TRANSFORMATIONS

SNIPER MODE!

Tenku turned his Phantasmal Object into a sniper. He loaded his weapon with a third-level monster core and targeted one of the Cactus Golems that Kirika was fighting. Then he pulled the trigger.

Bang!

Tenku's bullet shot at terrifying speed and precisely hit the monster's head. The Realizers were confused when they saw the Cactus Golem suddenly die and its massive body falls to the ground. Only Kirika among them knew what had happened. The girl looked around and then pursed her lips because she couldn't find Tenku.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After that, one after another, the Cactus Golems and Ogres died suddenly for unknown reasons. Tenku only targeted those two monsters because he wasn't sure he could kill a Rock Golem in one hit, and it would be impossible for him to defeat a Mithril Golem with the Golden Revolver.

"Who killed my monster!?"

"Get out, you coward!"

"This must be the work of an illegal Realizer!?"

The Realizers of the three official organizations shouted angrily when the Ogre and Cactus Golem suddenly died. They had fought hard but didn't gain any Genesis power after killing those monsters. Because of that, they were furious with the person who did that.

On the other hand, Kaede was confused when she saw the Ogre in front of her suddenly die with a hole in its forehead. Then she recalled Kirika's story about the ability of Phantasmal Object Tenku.

"Is this what he did? Is he protecting me?" Kaede didn't notice that a beautiful smile bloomed on her face. She felt touched after thinking that Tenku had secretly watched over and protected her.

Kaede doesn't know that Tenku's goal is only to increase his strength and has no other intentions. But the girl had been lost in her imagination and had forgotten that Tenku was the man Setsuka loved.

After two hours of fierce battle, the Realizers finally killed all the monsters in the area, including four Mithril Golems. In other words, they had managed to deal with the double space collapse on Mount Kumotori, and the overseers declared that the mission was accomplished.
