Realizer of Death : The Reaper



Setsuka and the two girls spread out in three directions and started their battle against the Basilisk. She, Wang Ruyue, and Kaede would attack from a distance while Kirika would hit the monsters at close range using the Lamia she controlled.

Unfortunately, Kirika could only control three of the fifteen monsters that appeared because the Basilisk destroyed the rest using the purple liquid from its mouth.

Hiss!

The Basilisk looked at the girls with murderous eyes. The monster intended to use its ability on them, but they were out of attack range.

After she felt that she was within a safe distance from the monster, Setsuka started her plan and delivered the first strike.

"Phantasmal Release..."

WINTER QUEEN

A crown of ice appeared above Setsuka's head, and her hair turned blue. Afterward, she fired dozens of ice blocks toward the Basilisk.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Hiss!

The Basilisk wasn't hurt because its scales were so hard, but it was angry because a weak human had attacked it. The monster spouted purple liquid at Setsuka, but five ice walls appeared and managed to block the attack.

"Now is my turn!" Wang Ruyue said after she saw Setsuka open their battle against the Basilisk. She had to admit that Setsuka was strong and might have equal combat power with her.

"Phantasmal Release..."

MOON RABBIT POSSESSION

Wang Ruyue's hair turned silver, and her strength increased, be it the genesis power or the true Qi within her body. Then She swung her sword towards the Basilisk.

Thousands of Slashes!

Wang Ruyue released dozens of sword Qi from the slashes. It was one of the moves of the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique after he broke through to the Mastery level. Tens of Sword Qi struck the scales of the Basilisk and created the sound of metal clashing.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

Wang Ruyue's attack was sharp but couldn't break through the monster's defense. The Basilisk turned its eyes towards Wang Ruyue and spurted a purple liquid at her. Wang Ruyue quickly moved from her position to dodge it. Although the monster's attacks were extremely fast, her agility had increased drastically after using the ability of her Phantasmal Object.

"It's the same technique that Tenku used." Setsuka muttered when she saw the attack from Wang Ruyue. She thought it was natural that the girl had the same sword technique as Tenku because they had the same master.

Setsuka knew that it was not an ability of a Phantasmal Object but a part of Chinese martial arts and a technique honed by rigorous training.

Kirika and Kaede had also seen Tenku fight and quickly recognized the technique Wang Ruyue used. They knew her identity and felt jealous at the thought of her and Tenku spending time together practicing martial arts.

"I can't lose to them!" Kaede said with eyes full of fighting spirit.

"Phantasmal Release..."

FOREST OF DRYAD

Huge vines emerged from the ground and wrapped around the Basilisk's body. After that, spiky roots attacked the monster. Unfortunately, it still couldn't hurt the Basilisk.

Hiss!

Basilisk was angry and tried to free from the vines. The monster struggled, but two Lamia suddenly appeared before it and intended to stab it in the eye with spears and swords.

Kirika controlled the two Lamias to secretly approach the Basilisk while the monsters focused on the three girls. She found an opportunity when she saw it had let down its guard in anger with Setsuka and the others. Kirika watched the battle between the three girls against the Basilisk and noticed that the defense of its scales was very strong. Thus, she decided to attack its weakest part, the eyes.

The Basilisk sensed the danger from the two Lamias and opened its jaw. The monster was about to spit out a purple liquid, but other vines grew and locked its mouth. Kaede quickly acted when she saw the Basilisk wanting to attack the Lamias.

"Do it now! I won't be able to endure it any longer!" Kaede shouted at Kirika.

"I understand!" Kirika answered. She could not waste the opportunity that Wang Ruyue and the others had given her.

"Phantasmal Release..."

PUPPET MASTER

A lot of genesis power flowed from the transparent threads Kirika used to control Lamia. When she released the abilities of her Phantasmal Object, she could multiply the power of the monsters and make full use of their ability.

One of the Lamia near the Basilisk opened its mouth and let out a loud, deafening scream.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Hiss!

The Basilisk kept struggling and wanted to get away from the Lamia. Then the monster managed to destroy the vines that wrapped around it, but its body suddenly froze into an ice statue, and only its head was left.

"I won't let you go anywhere!" Kirika said coldly. Her strength doubles when she uses it in winter. Therefore, Setsuka could freeze fifth-level monsters instantly. But that attack didn't kill the Basilisk, and it wouldn't be long before the ice that had frozen its body shattered.

Of course, the other girls wouldn't miss the chance. Two Lamia suddenly jumped at the Basilisk's head and thrust their weapons into its eyes.

Spurt!

Blood spurted, and the Basilisk roared in pain. The monster was very angry and went into a berserk state. After that, the ice that was freezing its body shattered, and it sprayed purple liquid in all directions.

Setsuka created a giant ice dome and confined the Basilisk to block the attack. But it quickly melted after it came into contact with the purple liquid shot from the monster. As the Basilisk's strength increased, the destructive power of its attacks also became terrifying. Setsuka didn't care about that as she temporarily restrained the Basilisk and retreated to gather with the other girls.

"What are we going to do, Setsuka? The Basilisk had gone into a berserk state. It has become a sixth-level monster now!" Kaede asked frantically.

"We will continue to fight the Basilisk. Even though the monster had entered a berserk state and its strength had increased, its sight had disappeared. So this is our chance to kill it!" Setsuka answered seriously.

"Yes, she's right. We must keep hitting the monster's eyes repeatedly until we can penetrate its head." Wang Ruyue agreed after hearing her words, as she also thought the same as Setsuka. She didn't want to waste the opportunity to defeat the Basilisk.

"Then let's do it!" Kirika shouted in response to their words. She was far from the three girls, so she had to raise her voice.

"I understand. Let's defeat that monster." Kaede nodded and couldn't say anything else after the three girls decided.

Hiss!

The Basilisk emerged from the ice dome and stared at the girls with murderous intent.

Kaede tapped the staff in her hand on the ground several times. Afterward, dozens of gigantic roots appeared and wrapped the Basilisk's body again. But Kaede's attack still wasn't finished. Tens of large trees grew around the Basilisk, making it difficult for the monsters to move.

The Basilisk tried to escape from the trees, but a giant block of ice appeared above it and fell on its head.

Hiss!

After Setsuka's attack, Wang Ruyue bombarded the Basilisk's eyes with the sword Qi and the monster's wounds became deeper and worse. Kirika didn't want to miss that opportunity. She controlled the Lamia and tried to put another stab in the monster's eye.

Unfortunately, the Basilisk noticed it and fired an attack from its mouth. This time it wasn't liquid but purple smoke.

"Stay away from that monster!" Wang Ruyue shouted to warn Setsuka and the others.

The girls quickly left the place after they sensed the danger from the purple smoke. Sure enough, everything it touched was corroded and melted. Kirika and the others were shocked when they saw that. They did not expect the Basilisk to turn its attacks into poisonous smoke.

"What should we do? We can't attack the Basilisk while it's in the smog. Besides, I have lost the corpses of the three Lamias. I can no longer help you fight the Basilisk because there are no other monsters I can control." Kirika said with a solemn face. She could no longer fight against the Basilisk because all three Lamia corpses were destroyed after being hit by the poisonous purple smoke.

"I know. But we can't leave the Basilisk here once it's gone into a berserk state. The monster might enter a densely populated settlement and release that poisonous purple smoke. If that happened, you should already know the consequences." Setsuka said in a trembling voice.

Kirika and the other two girls' faces darkened after they heard that. What Setsuka said was right. If they didn't kill the Basilisk now, the monsters would move to another area. If that happened, the damage to the environment and the number of casualties would be appalling, considering the purple smoke's destructive power.

"Then attack the Basilisk from afar as we have done before. This time we will use full power. Direct your attacks toward the eyes until it penetrates the brain. But before that, we have to get rid of the purple smoke covering the area to get a proper aim at the Basilisk!" Setsuka looked at Kaede, Wang Ruyue, and then Kirika.

"Can't you control inanimate objects? Can you move tree trunks at high speed?" Setsuka asked.

"Do you mean you want me to join the attack?" Kirika asked in return.

"Yes, Kaede will create a spiky tree root, and you just have to throw it at the monster's eyes. " Setsuka nodded in response to Kirika's question.

"I can do it." Kirika showed a determined face. After that, Setsuka turned her eyes to Kaede.

"Please make a big spear out of a giant tree root, Kaede." Setsuka said.

"I understand." Kaede tapped her cane, and two large spiky tree roots grew from the ground.

"Alright, I'll leave that to you." Setsuka spoke to Kirika.

"Leave that thing to me! We will kill that monster!" Kirika said confidently.

"That's good! Then, let's defeat the Basilisk." Setsuka looked at Kaede and Wang Ruyue. The two girls nodded, and they moved closer to the monster. The girls intended to dispel the purple smoke in the area and fired their strongest ranged attacks.

But their faces changed drastically as they approached the purple smog. The alarms in their minds rang loudly. Not long after, Kaede and the others saw the tail of the Basilisk swinging at high speed toward them.

Setsuka quickly created a layered ice barrier while Kaede grew a giant tree to block the attack. Sadly, their efforts were in vain. Their defense crumbled after clashing with the Basilisk's tail, and the attack hit the three girls.

Spurt!

Setsuka, Wang Ruyue, and Kaede were blown away dozens of meters and vomited blood.
