Realizer of Death : The Reaper

Chapter 48 48

?"What do you want?" Tenku asked.

"I originally planned to lure you out of the tent and lead you into the forest. But I didn't think you would come to this place alone, which made my plans easier." Masaru said playfully.

"What do you mean by that? Have you forgotten that harming your fellow students at Suisei High School is prohibited? Aren't you afraid of punishment from the school and the organization?" Tenku's face remained calm even though he knew their purpose for following him.

"Hehe… That applies if the teachers or senior Realizers know our actions. But if they didn't know it, attacking fellow students were allowed. Isn't that right, Shinji?" Masaru smiled evilly and looked at the male student beside him.

"You shouldn't go near Akina and stay away from her as soon as I warned you. Unfortunately, you didn't want to listen and instead bravely answered it. Therefore, I have no choice but to eliminate you." Shinji said nonchalantly.

"You want to kill me just because of that?" Tenku felt strange with Shinji's excuse. He had only met him this afternoon, and their matter was very trivial. Tenku didn't think that because of that problem, Shinji intended to kill him.

Tenku felt there was something strange about Shinji's actions. Shinji was just a high school student, or a freshman, to be precise. He shouldn't have thought that far just because of a girl.

"Yes. I feel that you will be my biggest obstacle to getting Akina. If I don't get rid of you quickly and let you continue to be around him, I'll never have a chance to make Akina look at me." Shinji replied coldly.

"I see. Then, how about you? Isn't Asuka already not close to me? Then why did you come with him? Were you the one who had provoked that boy to get rid of me?" Tenku narrowed his eyes at Masaru.

"Ahaha… From the first day of high school, I knew that Asuka was no longer close to you. But my hatred for you since middle school is still there until now even bigger. If it weren't for you, my relationship with her would have been very close now. I must have become the most important person to her! If it weren't for you, Asuka wouldn't be close to that bastard Akio! It's all your fault! Therefore, you must leave this world in return for your mistakes!" Masaru said like a madman.

Shinji frowned when he heard that. He slowly keeps his distance from Masaru because that boy looks like a psychopath.

"I've wasted my energy in vain talking to you because you won't listen. I didn't think you would be like that just because of a girl. Don't you realize that you look like a student with a mental disorder?" Tenku sighed and shook his head. He was a little surprised to see Masaru's exaggerated response.

"Shut up! I'm not crazy, and I'm still very sane! You have no idea how much I like Asuka! You should know that she has helped me many times in the past! Because of that, I fell in love with her! I want to stay with her and protect her! But you suddenly appeared and made Asuka stay away from me! You are a loser who has blocked my way! Everything is your fault! Otherwise, Asuka would have been mine by now!" Masaru roared at Tenku with bloodshot eyes.

"Are you sure your feeling is love and not an obsession?" Tenku looked at Masaru and then Shinji. They have the exact reason for eliminating him, but Masaru looks crazier and more excited. Tenku could sense that the boy had a strong desire to kill him.

"Whether it's love or obsession, I don't need to explain it to someone about to die. Isn't that right, Shinji?" Masaru smirked and looked at Shinji, who had kept his distance from him.

"Yes." Shinji gritted his teeth. Even though he suddenly hesitated with his actions, he couldn't back down because Tenku was going to report the matter to the teachers and senior Realizers. Shinji will be expelled from school or even imprisoned. He didn't want that to happen.

"Let's finish him quickly and return. Otherwise, the teachers and senior Realizers would be suspicious if they knew we weren't in our tent." Shinji said determinedly and manifested his sword-shaped Phantasmal Object.

Wild Saber : B-rank

"You are right. Let's kill him! Don't give him a chance to manifest his Phantasmal Object! We can drown his corpse in the lake so it doesn't leave any traces." Masaru nodded in agreement and also manifested his Phantasmal Object.

Claw Sickle : C-rank

"After seeing your actions, I'm allowed to defend myself, right? Originally, I wanted to let you go if you left this place immediately and forgot about your intentions. But how could I let you go after you manifested your Phantasmal Object and unleashed killing intent on me? I will never spare an enemy who will become a problem for me in the future." Tenku said coldly.

Tenku never and does not want to interfere with other people's business. But if the other party touched him first and even bared his fangs at him, then what he had to do was only one. Kill! It was something he had learned from his past and his master, Wang Haotian.

The atmosphere around Tenku suddenly changed drastically. Usually, he looks lazy and indifferent. But now his eyes turned sharp, and terrifying killing intent overflowed from his body. Shinji and Masaru felt intense pressure from Tenku's aura, even though he had not yet manifested his Phantasmal Object.

"What the hell is this!? Wasn't he just a weak student who awakened an F-rank Phantasmal Object!? How could he release such a terrifying aura!?" Shinji said in a trembling voice.

"Do not be afraid! He's just bluffing! I'm sure he has a device that can make him release such an aura! We must kill him immediately!" Masaru tries to convince Shinji. Even though he felt strange about the current situation, he would never have thought that the Tenku were stronger than them.

"Yes!" Shinji gripped his sword tightly and then opened his mouth.

"Phantasmal Release..."

BERSERKER MODE

Shinji's face turned red, and he looked like someone filled with anger. His muscles grew bigger and bigger and great strength overflowed from his body. He used that power to escape Tenku's pressure. Then Shinji looked at Tenku with bloodshot eyes and charged at him.

"Die for me!" Shinji slashed his sword with full power and intended to cut Tenku in half.

Tenku calmly looked at the attack. He shifted his body slightly to avoid the slash. Then Tenku coated his leg with Qi and gave a kick to Shinji's stomach.

"Ugh!" Shinji vomited blood and felt excruciating pain in his stomach. He felt that the internal organs in his body had been badly damaged.

Tenku didn't use much force in his attack and only focused on one point. Otherwise, he would create a commotion, put the teachers and senior Realizers on high alert, and come to the forest to check it out.

Masaru was shocked when he saw that. But then he smiled evilly because he felt that Tenku had let his guard down after successfully taking down Shinji, and now was the best chance for him to attack. Masaru gripped his sickle tightly and unleashed his ability.

"Phantasmal Release..."

BEAST WRATH

"Die!" Masaru slashed his sickle. Then a huge claw appeared in front of him and shot towards Tenku. He has trained his basics at the club, although not perfectly. But Masaru thought that was enough if added to his ability to kill Tenku.

Tenku just stood still and had no intention of dodging the attack. He clenched his fists and coated them with Qi.

"Let's see how strong my punches are after I break through to the fourth layer of the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art." Tenku swung his fist toward the attack that came at him.

Crack!

When Tenku's fist and fangs met, there was a cracking sound from the latter, and then it shattered.

"Impossible!" Masaru screamed in disbelief when he saw that. He finally realized that Tenku was not as weak as he thought. Tenku is very strong and can be said to be terrible for a first-year student in high school. He fought like a senior Realizer.

"I have to get out of here immediately!" Masaru decides to run away and leaves Shinji. He felt that he would die if he stayed in that place. But Tenku never intended to let him go since Masaru directed his killing intent at him.

Before Masaru could take a step, Tenku suddenly appeared in front of him. He twisted Masaru's wrist, made his Phantasmal Object fall, and then clutched his face.

"Let me go! I promise I won't bother you again! You can't kill me! If the teachers and senior Realizers find out, you will be severely punished! You're strong, but you can't go against the organization!" Masaru pleaded and threatened at the same time. He will do anything to survive. After he had managed to escape, he would think of ways to take revenge in the future.

"He's right! You can't kill us! My father is the owner of one of the leading companies in Tokyo!" Shinji tried to stand up, but his condition didn't allow him to do that. He didn't expect just one kick from Tenku and made him severely injured.

"Ooh? So you are threatening me now? Have you forgotten what you said to me? I will be punished for killing you, but that only applies if someone sees me doing it. But there are only three of us here, so don't blame me if I act cruel because you started it first." Tenku snorted and slammed Masaru's head against the rocks on the ground until it exploded like a watermelon.

"What!?" Shinji was shocked when he saw the terrible sight. He vomited when he saw Masaru's condition. Shinji felt a chill run down his spine as he imagined the same thing would happen to him. Then he saw Tenku walking to him, smiling.

"No! Do not come close! I'm sorry! I promise not to chase after Akina again! Please don't kill me!" Shinji trembled in fear until he wet his pants. Although Tenku smiled, Shinji saw him as a god of death from the deepest hell. Shinji tried to move, but his body wouldn't allow it.

Tenku looked at Shinji coldly and didn't care what he said. He swung his left hand, and a scythe appeared, cutting off Shinji's head.

"You!" Shinji looked at Tenku in horror when he saw the scythe. He regretted having been provoked by Masaru's words, but he knew it was too late, and his consciousness fell into eternal darkness.
