At the space collapse location farthest from the scene of the battle between the Realizers and the monsters, Tenku frowned when he saw a large metal wall suddenly appear and divide the area into three. In that way, the number of Realizers was also divided, drastically reducing the combat power of the three official organizations.
Tenku was sure it wasn't the work of a monster or a Realizer because he didn't feel any fluctuations in Genesis power when the metal wall appeared.
"This must be the work of the terrorists from the Ghost Nebula. I don't know what they are planning this time, but I thank them because what they did helped me greatly." Tenku smiled and looked at the monsters that came at him.
The metal wall had divided the area into three for each space collapse, and Tenku was alone there. In other words, he could use his full power without worrying about being noticed by others. On top of that, Tenku could take all the monster cores and valuable items from around space collapse.
Tenku charged toward the monster horde and compressed the Genesis power in his Phantasmal Object. After that, he slashed it at the Orcs closing in on him.
Slash!
Half the monsters were split in two, and the rest were severely injured. Tenku quickly moved to the right and targeted the Mutant Rat horde. The monsters numbered in the hundreds and looked so disgusting if a woman saw them.
Tenku replaced his Phantsmal Object with a Golden Revolver and changed its shape to an assault rifle. He loaded his weapon with dozens of second-level monster cores and compressed it with Qi.
Thousands of Bullets!
Ratatatatatatatatata!
Tenku fired at the hundreds of Mutant Rats, and her attacks easily hit the monsters because they were clustered together. He kills one monster with one bullet. Tenku doubled the number of monster cores in his Phantasmal Object using the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique. So there wouldn't be a problem if his opponents numbered in the thousands as long as he had a few monster cores and enough Qi within his body.
After Tenku was slain hundreds of the Mutant Rats, he shifted his target to the horde of Ogres near him. Some monsters threw big clubs at him, but Tenku easily dodged and charged at them with terrifying speed.
Tenku changed his Phantasmal Object again into a Devourer Scythe and changed its shape to a great sword. He injected Qi into his weapon and swung successively at the monsters.
Tactical Rapid Slash!
Tenku showered the Ogres with dozens of sword Qi and slaughtered them all in seconds. Just as he was about to launch his next attack on the other monsters, he felt an Ogre approaching him at high speed.
He slashed his Phantasmal Object and intended to kill the monster. But a familiar voice came from the Ogre's shoulder before he landed his attack.
"Wait a minute! it's me!" Kirika shouted to Tenku, and the greatsword stopped right before her eyes. Her face was pale and cold sweat was pouring down her smooth forehead. Kirika would have died if she had spoken a little late.
"What are you doing here?" Tenku asked.
"Ah, I fought monsters near this place, and then that huge metal wall appeared. Because of that, I'm stuck here. Are you the one who has done all this?" Kirika looked at the pile of monster corpses around her and said in a trembling voice.
"Did you see anyone else in this place?" Tenku asked in return. He was lazy to answer Kirika's question.
"I'm sorry." Kirika realized she had asked the wrong question due to shock after seeing the terrifying sight before her.
She estimated that the number of low-level monster corpses in that place was at least in the thousands. It felt terrible after remembering that Tenku only fought alone.
Kirika had seen him fight and slaughter monsters at Suisei High School. But the numbers were far less than what she was seeing now, and this was the first time she had seen a Realizer slay thousands of monsters by himself.
"Then don't bother me. You can deal with low-level monsters here, and I will fight fourth-level monsters and above." Tenku gave a warning and instruction to Kirika. He didn't want her to take his prey because he needed those high-level monsters to increase one of his powers.
"I understand." Kirika nodded and used her Phantasmal Object to control the few Ogres in that place.
"That's good. Then…" Tenku was about to attack the Rock Golem, but he frowned after seeing two people approaching him. Kirika turned her head after she sensed their presence and smiled when she saw Setsuka.
"Kirika Miyazaki! What are you doing here!? Shouldn't you be fighting alongside the Realizers of the League of Heroes?" Setsuka glared at Kirika and said coldly.
"What are you saying? Wherever I go, it is my business. What does that have to do with my organization? No rule in League of Heroes requires me to fight alongside them.
As long as I carry out the mission properly, they free me to do anything, even to fight alone against the monsters. After all, I killed many Ogres before coming here, and the Realizers in my organization already know about it." Kirika explained. But before Setsuka could reply, she opened her mouth again.
"Then what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with the Realizers from Holy Union or the students from Suisei High School? You're the student council president of that school, and they might be in danger if you weren't there." Kirika added.
"You don't need to worry about that. The Holy Union also doesn't require me to fight alongside other members, and the number of monsters I've killed isn't any less than yours. So I'm free to do whatever I want.
Besides, I'm sure the students will be fine since the other student council members and teachers are there. If they can't deal with the monsters there, my presence won't be much helpful either." Setsuka responded with an answer similar to Kirika's.
"You..." Kirika didn't want to lose to Setsuka and intended to reply to her words. But before she could continue her sentence, Tenku cut her off.
"Stop fighting. Here is the battlefield. Please focus on the situation around you. The monsters are starting to come and will attack with much greater numbers." Tenku warned the two girls seriously.
He turned his eyes to the horde of Rock Golems and Cactus Golems approaching them. The ground shook every time the monsters took their foot.
Setsuka and Kirika fell silent and didn't dare say a word after hearing that. They looked toward the location of the space collapse and were shocked to find thousands of monsters coming at them.
"How do we deal with all those monsters?" Kaede looked at Tenku and subconsciously asked him. Even though she is her senior, Tenku is more experienced in dealing with monsters than her.
"You guys only need to fight low-level monsters and leave the rest to me. So I ask you to stop your bickering and work together to kill those monsters. Can you three do it?" Tenku looked at the three girls in turn.
He was forced to let the three girls fight alongside him because they were trapped in that place. They might be in danger if they fought the monsters separately.
If Tenku wanted to return them to the Realizers' locations, he would have to destroy the giant metal wall. He found it very inconvenient and a waste of time.
"We understand." Setsuka and Kirika looked at each other and nodded. They couldn't refute Tenku's words for fear of him getting angry.
"But will you be fine fighting those high-level monsters alone?" Setsuka couldn't help but ask because she was worried that Tenku would have to fight against that many monsters, especially Mithril Golems.
ραпdαn૦νel "You don't have to worry about me. I know my limits and wouldn't fight those monsters if I wasn't confident. I'm not a careless person." Tenku replied casually like fighting high-level monsters was nothing for him.
If no other factors suddenly appeared in the middle of the battle, Tenku was confident that he could defeat all those monsters, including Mithril Golems. But he knew the mission would not go smoothly because terrorists were lurking among the Realizers and ready to move at any moment to make the battlefield even more chaotic.
"I understand. but you still have to be careful." Setsuka said in concern. She knew that he would only be a burden if she had to fight together with Tenku. Setsuka clenched her tiny fists tightly at her helplessness. She wanted to get stronger quickly to stand with Tenku and fight alongside him.
On the other hand, Kirika felt jealous when she saw the exchange between the two. But then she thought it was natural after remembering that Setsuka had known Tenku much longer than her. Even so, Kirika believes that her relationship with Tenku will become closer as time goes by.
"In that case, I'll leave the low-level monsters to you." Tenku looked at the three girls, and they nodded in response. Then he shot toward the Rock Golem and slashed at the monsters that got in his way. After Tenku left, Kaede patted Setsuka's shoulder gently.
"I know what you're thinking. You have to get stronger, and you will be able to stand by his side. Otherwise, he will only leave you behind, and another woman will take your place." Kaede said in a low voice, but Kirika overheard it.
"She's right. You should stay away from him if you are not strong enough. You will only become a burden for him and put yourself at risk. Let me be by his side. We will fight together and kill monsters to save people." Kirika said provocatively. It was a declaration of war from him to Setsuka.
Setsuka's face darkened when she heard Kirika's words. But it didn't take long because a smile suddenly bloomed on his face.
"The person who will become a burden and endanger herself is not necessarily me. You better worry about yourself instead of thinking about me. You can only fight in the rear and can't do anything without the monsters' corpses.
So we still don't know who isn't strong enough and doesn't deserve to be by his side. We will get the answer in the future. But please listen carefully to my words. I will not lose to any woman, including you. I will fight for the man I love with my body and soul." Setsuka responded to Kirika's statement, and the monsters in the hundred-meter radius around her froze.
