Chapter 216 216



"What's that?" Kaede pointed at the giant centipede and asked Kirika. She thought the girl knew about the creature because she had seen Tenku fight.

"I think that giant centipede is an ability of one of his Phantasmal Objects." Kirika replied with a trembling voice.

Even though they had killed many monsters in this mission, they still felt nauseous when they saw the scene before them. The giant centipede ruthlessly killed the low-level monsters and turned them into minced meat. Surprisingly, the creature could cut through Ogres, Orcs, and Mutant Rats precisely and avoided damaging their cores.

"How many abilities does he have? He could float in the air, and use fist and palm attacks. Now he created a giant centipede of enormous size.

Moreover, he had yet to use the abilities of his other Phantasmal Objects. Plus, I feel Tenku still hasn't shown all his strength in the previous battle." Kaede looked at Tenku in amazement.

"The first two abilities you mentioned were not from his Phantasmal Object, and you should have realized that already. If you were to talk about his Phantasmal Object in the shape of a golden gun, its abilities were terrifying." Kirika said in a deep voice, and her eyes didn't move from Tenku. She saw that he was moving closer to the Mithril Golem.

"Terrifying? What do you mean? Aren't his other Phantasmal Objects only rank F?" Kaede tilted her head and looked confused at Kirika.

"Yeah, I know about that. But the destructive power of a Phantasmal Object didn't always match its ranking. I can say that because I saw it with my eyes that his Phantasmal Object can transform into a sniper, and the bullets from his gun can penetrate the defenses of the Realizer in the planetary phase." Kirika explained.

"Impossible! Did something go wrong with the Phantasm Altar when he awakened his Phantasmal Object? But why only him? Why didn't other students experience the same thing as him?" Kaede said in disbelief.

"I don't know. But I think nothing is wrong with your school's Phantasm Altar. The Phantasmal Object had an F rank, probably for some reason. You should already know that there are many reasons for a Phantasmal Object's ranking to be low.

This could be due to low damage, consuming too much power, weak defense, and many others. It was the same for his Phantasmal Objects as well. Tenku may have managed to make up for the shortcomings of his Phantasmal Object in a way we don't know." Kirika said her conjecture.

"You're right... Huh! He has started his battle against the Mithril Golems again!" Kaede raised her voice when she saw the Mithril Golem and Tenku clash.

Clank!

"Kyaaaaa!" Kirika screamed, and Kaede hugged Setsuka to protect her as the shockwave from the impact of their attacks reached that place.

"That is… I feel that Tenku has become stronger than before." Kaede looked at Tenku and muttered.

"In the first place, it was impossible for him to kill a Sixth-level monster using the power of the Realizer in the asteroid phase. I don't know if he's hiding his strength, but I'm sure he uses other powers in his battles and doesn't use them fully for some reason." Kirika responded and seriously watched the battle between Tenku and the Mithril Golem.

"Yes, you're right. I had thought that before, but the battle before my eyes had confirmed my guess. Tenku's combat power is much stronger than his Realizer phase." Kaede agreed with Kirika.

"Huh? Why had he suddenly canceled the manifestation of his Phantasmal Object? What does he want to do? Does he intend to fight the Mithril Golem with his bare hands, just like he did before?" Kirika was confused when she saw that. Kaede also felt the same way. But it didn't take long for them to get answers to their questions.

Boooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm!

Tenku hit the Mithril Golem right in the face, and the monster was blown away dozens of meters. After that, Tenku threw his palms successively toward the Mithril Golem.

Goliath Palms!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Mithril Golem was knocked back bit by bit until its gigantic body hit the metal wall.

"Alright. It is time to end this battle." Tenku said indifferently and manifested his Phantasmal Object again. Then he changed its form into a naginata.

Tenku compressed all the genesis power and Qi from within his body into his Phantasmal Object. He also injected the spear intent, and his weapon vibrated violently. Tenku held the Devourer Scythe tightly and thrust it toward the Mithril Golem.

Imperial Spear!

The world was painted green, and Tenku's attack shot like a high-powered laser beam. The attack destroyed an area along its trajectory and engulfed the Mithril Golem. The giant laser beam obliterated the monster without a trace and hollowed out the metal wall.

Tenku sighed after he saw that. He was breathing heavily, and his vision was blurry. Tenku felt exhausted from having used up all the strength in his body. This was his first time using that attack.

It was one of the ultimate moves of the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique. Tenku was surprised by the damage from the attack and the power consumption.

"It looks like I won't be able to increase the phase of my Phantasmal Objects or my cultivation base on this mission." Tenku sighed in disappointment.

When he thought about that, Tenku suddenly raised his eyebrows after feeling much energy absorbed into his body. Tenku quickly converted that into Qi and Genesis power. Afterward, his condition got better. It was the source of the energy he got after he and the giant centipede killed the Mithril Golems and the monsters in the area.

"Okay. I must quickly go to the students' place to help Akina and the others." Tenku said in a low voice and ran to Setsuka's place.

At the same time, Kirika and Kaede were dumbfounded after they saw the battle.

"What kind of attack was that?" Kaede pointed at the large hole in the metal wall that had divided the area into three.

"I don't know." Kirika shook her head. She was shocked when she saw the destructive power of Tenku's attack. It looked terrible for her.

Even though Kirika had seen Tenku fight against the terrorists in the Planetary phase, his strength at that time was far below what she now saw.

Tenku obliterated the Mithril Golem and hollowed out the thick metal wall in one strike. His strength in that battle was at least in the star cluster phase.

A fifteen-year-old boy possessed power on par with the leaders of the strongest Realizer group in Japan. On top of that, he managed to defeat a Mithril Golem in its berserk state single-handedly. That sounded incredible, and no one would believe it if others didn't see it in person, Kirika included.

"He is so amazing. No wonder Setsuka fell in love with him." Kaede said with sparkling eyes, and her heart suddenly pounded very fast.

Kirika raised her eyebrows and turned her eyes to Kaede. She felt something was off about the girl when she heard her words and expression. Kirika wanted to say something to Kaede but stopped when she saw Tenku approaching them.

"I have killed all the monsters in this area without one left. The space collapse in this place will soon be closed. We can return to the locations of the Realizers from the three organizations now." Tenku said to the two girls without looking at them as his eyes focused on Setsuka on the ground. He sighed with relief when he found out the girl's condition was stable.

Even so, Tenku regretted that he couldn't increase his strength after killing so many monsters and accidentally destroyed the body of a Mithril Golem without a trace. But the cores of the Ogres, Orcs, and other high-level monsters could at least ease his feelings of disappointment a little. Apart from that, he also obtained many valuable items around space collapse.

"Ah, yes." Kaede replied curtly, and Kirika nodded in response.

"I don't know how much you two know about me, but please keep everything that happened here and my identity a secret." Tenku shifted his eyes to Kirika and then looked at Kaede for a long time. He was sure that Kaede knew his identity because Setsuka confided in almost anything to her best friend.

"I understand. I swear I will not say anything about you and what happened here to anyone." Kaede answered thoughtfully because she understood Tenku's words were meant for her, not Kirika's.

"Thank You. Then, let's leave this place now." Tenku approached Setsuka and carried her in a princess hug.

Kaede and Kirika nodded in response to his words. They feel jealous when they see Setsuka but don't show their feelings.

After that, the three people quickly left the place, and the space collapsed in the area slowly closed and returned to normal.

Meanwhile, the battle between the Realizers of the three official organizations against the monsters was fierce. Akina and the students from Suisei High School were depressed because the low-level monsters' strength had suddenly increased after going into a berserk state.

Reinforcements had arrived after the overseers sent a signal to their respective organizations. Those people were Realizers in the planetary phase, and there were dozens of them. Even so, the situation of the students from Suisei High School had not changed since those people had come to deal with the high-level monsters and Mithril Golems.

Luckily, there were no casualties from the students because the senior Realizers from the organization were protecting them. But some of them received light injuries when fighting low-level monsters, and the rest were in serious condition. One of them is Daichi, Akio's best friend.

"Michiko! Quickly get Daichi out of this place! You must take him to the healers for treatment!" Akio shouted to Michiko while fighting fiercely against the orcs, whose strength had increased drastically.

"I understand!" Michiko nodded and immediately carried Daichi away from that place. He had a large gash extending from his shoulder to his waist and nearly lost consciousness from blood loss.

On the other hand, Akina, Takaya, and Noboru were fighting some distance away from Akio and the others. They were overwhelmed because they had to fight against many Mutant Rats.

"Damn! They just keep popping up like it's endless!" Takaya said and hitting the monsters with full force.

"We must hold off the Mutant Rats until the Realizers kill the high-level monsters!" Noboru responded and thrust his Phantasmal Object into the Mutant Rat's stomach.

"Yeah, we have to wait..." Akina wanted to add another word, but Noboru cut her off.

"Watch out, Akina! There's a monster behind you!" Noboru shouted frantically.

Akina quickly turned her body around, and she was startled when she saw the Mutant Rat open its jaws at her. She and the monster were so close that she couldn't avoid it. Akina gritted her teeth and closed her eyes.

She was ready to accept the pain from the monster's bite. But no matter how long she waited, Akina didn't feel anything. Then, she worked up the courage to open her eyes. Akina was stunned after seeing all the Mutant Rats in the place had died.

"What has happened?"
