Realizer of Death : The Reaper

Chapter 28 28



After Tenku left the place, Daisuke and his team members fell on their buttocks. Their bodies were shaking with cold sweat dripping down their foreheads, especially Daisuke. His face was pale after hearing Tenku's words. He felt that he would die that night.

"Fortunately, that monster is gone!"

"What the hell is that terrifying killing intent!?"

"Yes! Just imagining it gives me goosebumps!"

"Is he really a human!?"

"The pressure he released was so intense that I couldn't even move my body."

"Not only that! He could even move that fast without using his Phantasmal Object. Doesn't that make him a monster among Realizers of his level?"

The members of Daisuke's team said in fear. They couldn't believe that such a Realizer existed. When they spoke their thoughts, only one person had remained silent since Tenku had left the place.

"Daisuke! Are you okay!?" A female Realizer asked worriedly after noticing Daisuke's condition. Her relationship with Daisuke is quite close. Because of that, she could call out his name directly without hesitation.

"Ah! Yes, I'm fine." Daisuke jolted after he heard that voice. He was drowning in fear when Tenku aimed a sharp piece of bone at his neck. Daisuke knew that Tenku did that to warn them and show them that he could easily kill them at any time.

"Are you sure you're okay?" The female Realizer repeated her question to confirm Daisuke's condition. She couldn't believe his words after seeing his pale face.

"You don't have to worry about me. We should return to the branch office immediately and report this incident to our superiors. Otherwise, they'll think we've hidden valuable items from the space collapse location." Daisuke smiled at the female Realizer and stood up. He took a deep breath and tried to stabilize his emotions.

People who had awakened their Phantasmal Objects and registered in the organization would receive their monthly salary. The amount depends on their Realizer phase as well as the contribution they have made. In addition, they will get bonuses after completing missions and also get other perks.

Realizers must report the valuable items they get from the space collapse location and sell them to their organization. The organization does not want it to fall into the hands of irresponsible people and use it for criminal activities. But everyone already knows that the real reason is to monopolize it. The organization will provide a fair price for those valuable items.

The organization will punish its members who secretly sell the items to outsiders. The lightest penalty is dishonorable dismissal, which automatically blacklists them and prevents them from joining other organizations. After that, they would lose all their advantages and privileges as a Realizer.

Realizers who have been fired won't be able to act independently because they don't know where the space collapse will appear. Only organizations have the machines to detect it. As for Wang Haotian's case, Tenku still doesn't know where the old man got the information because he never told it.

Another punishment for Realizers who have violated the rules is imprisonment. The toughest was sealing their Phantasmal Objects forever and the death penalty.

"Yes, team leader!" The realizers quickly responded to Daisuke's words.

"Before we go back, you should check the surrounding area. Make sure there are no monsters left and try to find valuable items that may be left behind. I hope he leaves some for us." Daisuke added another command.

"We understand!" The Realizers answered in unison and immediately stood up to fulfill Daisuke's orders. After they split up, Daisuke looked towards the forest entrance, and no one knew what he was thinking at the moment.

Tenku rode his motorcycle back to Tokyo. He intended to go to the Kaziya's building for the maintenance of his mount and borrow the room to refine the bones of the skeleton general and king.

When Kaziya saw Tenku return unharmed, he didn't ask anything and just gave him the key to the room next to his workshop. Tenku also didn't have time to discuss it as he needed to refine the bones and return to the Karitoshi residence quickly.

After Tenku entered the room she borrowed from Kaziya, she took off her clothes and sat cross-legged in the lotus position. Then he took out the bones from the skeleton king and general from the space pocket.

​ Tenku used ogres and orc skins for skin tempering and entered the first layer of the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art. Then he used hobgoblins and werewolves for flesh tempering. For blood tempering, Tenku uses the blood of the wyvern. As a bonus, he obtained the monster's scales and used them to create his current combat gear.

"Bone tempering will be more painful than the first three layers." Tenku smiled bitterly as he looked at the pile of bones in front of him. He manifested the Devourer Scythe and turned the bones of the skeleton kings and generals into particles. After that, Tenku took a deep breath and absorbed it into his body.

When the particles were absorbed into his body, Tenku began to break through the fourth layer and tempered his bones, according to the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art.

Cracks!

A cracking sound rang out from Tenku's body, and he let out a long, terrifying howl that made people shudder when they heard it.

"Aaaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhhhhh!" Tenku felt an extremely inhuman pain as he cracked all the bones in his body and crumbled into powder. His breath was panting, and his body was covered in sweat. His face was pale, and blood was pouring out of the corner of his mouth. After that, he lay on the bed weakly like a slime.

"Now it's time to reshape the bones in my body!" Tenku gritted his teeth and said with determination.

"Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Tenku condensed the particles of the skeleton king and general that had been absorbed into his body. Slowly the particles gathered and formed new bones in his body.

Thirty minutes had passed since Tenku had started condensing the particles into the new bone in his body, but it felt like months to him. The pain he felt was no less terrifying than when he crushed his entire bones in the first stage.

An hour later, all the bones in Tenku's body finally reshaped. But unlike before, the bones had a green color like jade, and their hardness was tens of times harder than diamond.

"Finally! I have finally broken through the fourth layer of the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art! I feel like I've become several times stronger than before! Please wait for me, Haruna! I'll be looking for you in Arcadia! Hahaha!" Tenku clenched his fists tightly and laughed like crazy. Then he punched the wall of the room.

Boooooooooooommmmmm!

The entire room shook violently, and even the building was slightly affected. After that, a giant cobweb-like crack was created in the one-meter thick graphene and otherworldly metal mixed wall. Soon after, the door opened, and Kaziya appeared with a panicked face.

"What are you doing, brat? Why is my building shaking!?" Kaziya shouted at Tenku. Since Tenku's room was right next to his forging workshop, he felt the vibration firsthand.

"I'm just trying my strength." Tenku answered calmly and looked at the walls of the room with satisfaction. After that, he put his clothes back on and left the place without further explanation.

When Kaziya turned his eyes towards the wall that Tenku was looking at, he couldn't help but remain silent while opening his mouth wide. Not long after, he muttered in a slightly trembling voice.

"Monster."

The next day, Tenku woke up very refreshed and went to school with Akina as usual. When Tenku returned yesterday, it was almost midnight.

Tenku had informed Wang Haotian that he had broken through the fourth layer of the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art but didn't have time to stop by his apartment because he had to return to the Karitoshi residence immediately.

Wang Haotian was happy when he heard that but didn't seem to care about Tenku's presence in his apartment. It made Tenku feel a little annoyed. After he returned, Misora greeted him with a smile, and she didn't scold him for coming home late at night.

Misora thought Tenku needed some time to calm down after what had happened at school. She knew about the result of his Phantasmal Object awakening because Akina had told her about the matter. Tenku couldn't help but smile when he saw her concern. But that's it. He didn't want to trust others too much and be betrayed like his family in the past.

Tenku had planted the phrase "Trust nobody and never let your guard down" in his brain. He didn't even trust Wang Haotian completely.

This morning all the new students from each class were gathered to apply to the organization. They were divided into three groups based on the organization they chose.

Tenku had decided to join the Holy Union because his Golden Revolver was of the Avalon type. Unfortunately, Takaya and Noboru chose the Belial Alliance because their Phantasmal Objects were of the Acheron type. But Akina will register in the same organization as him.

Apart from Akina, Asuka was also in the same group as him. Tenku saw her laughing while chatting with Akio. But the girl didn't greet Tenku when she saw him, like they didn't know each other. But Tenku doesn't care about that because the most important thing for him is to become stronger and immediately look for Haruna in Arcadia.

The students will go by bus and will be accompanied by several teachers. The branch office of the Holy Union organization is not far from Suisei High School, and it only takes thirty minutes by car.

After they arrived at their destination, the students were shocked because the place was different from their imagination. The branch office of the Holy Union organization looked like an ordinary building. But the construction seems strong and will survive even if it receives a nuclear attack. In addition, the level of security in the place is stringent and modern.

The students walked towards the entrance, and a male Realizer suddenly appeared inside the building and greeted them.

"Welcome to the Holy Union Organization, students of Suisei High School! My name is Daisuke Okamoto, and I will guide you through registration today." Daisuke said with a big smile, but his appearance made one of the students frown.
