Realizer of Death : The Reaper



"You!" Kirika was angry and embarrassed when she heard the answers from Setsuka and the others, but she found it difficult to reply to the girls' words in the current situation because what they said was true.

Although she had an A-Rank Phantasmal Object, Kirika couldn't fight directly against monsters because her ability required an intermediary in the form of something to control, such as an inanimate object or a monster's corpse. The stronger the puppet she controlled, the stronger her battle power would be.

Kirika can also control living things with her powers, but that only applies if the target is weaker than her and requires more effort. She could easily do that if it were just an ordinary human.

Therefore, Kirika never used living things to fight and only used the corpses of strong monsters to use her abilities' full power. In addition, she must be accompanied and assisted by several Realizers when she has to fight against high-level monsters. They would be in charge of protecting her and providing puppets for her to control.

"So, can you guys help me kill some Lamia?" Kirika said in a softer voice because she was in a position to ask them for help.

"Okay. Then, you better stay back and be aware of your surroundings because we won't be able to protect you while we fight those monsters." Setsuka sighed and agreed to help her. Wang Ruyue and Kaede didn't mind either because they would kill the Lamias without Kirika saying a word.

"I understand." Kirika nodded and quickly kept her distance from Kaede and the others. Then she took out four metal dolls from her space pocket and positioned them around her. Kirika couldn't help the girls in the fight using that. Thus, she must not burden them.

Hiss!

The Lamia used spears and swords as their weapons and started moving toward the girls, while the Basilisk stayed where he was and didn't show any signs of attacking them. But Setsuka and the others didn't let down their guard as they could feel the monster's terrifying murderous gaze lock on them.

"We must kill the Lamias quickly before the Basilisk enters the battle. You must be careful with that monster because it will be troublesome if it suddenly attacks while we fight." Setsuka said to Kaede and Wang Ruyue.

"Yes, you're right. Most importantly, don't look the Basilisk in the eye directly. It affects our souls and feels very painful. If we fall into that situation, the Lamias will use that opportunity to attack us." Wang Ruyue added.

Kaede and Setsuka nodded in response to her words. Afterward, they disappeared from their position. Luckily, the Lamias that had appeared weren't too many, and only fifteen of them. The girls were confident they could finish off the monsters quickly. They spread out in three directions, each facing five Lamias.

Wang Ruyue was the first to clash with Lamia because her speed exceeded Setsuka and Kaede's. She swiftly swung her sword at one of the monsters. Originally Wang Ruyue wanted to split the Lamia in two. But he remembered that Kirika needed a complete corpse to be controlled. Hence, Wang Ruyue turned her slash into a stab in Lamia's heart and killed the monster instantly.

After killing the monster, Wang Ruyue immediately moved from her position because she noticed that one of the Lamia was swinging its tail at her. The monster was angry when it saw Wang Ruyue avoiding it. Then a Lamia opened its mouth at him and intended to unleash another attack.

"It's dangerous!" Wang Ruyue quickly kept her distance from Lamia because she knew what kind of attack the monster would use.

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

The Lamia screamed and let out a deafening sound. Fortunately, Wang Ruyue was already outside the attack range. So he wasn't affected by it. After the attack, Wang Ruyue intended to kill the monster immediately. But then he saw another Lamia moving at high speed towards that Lamia and thrusting its spear into its neck.

Spurt!

Blood spurted, and Lamia died instantly. After that monster died, it suddenly stood up again. Wang Ruyue was shocked when she saw that but quickly regained her senses after remembering Kirika's ability.

"Is this Kirika's power?" Wang Ruyue muttered when she found the two Lamia looking at her. She was sure that one of the monsters she had killed when she saw the wound on its chest. But Lamia could stand up again and fight splendidly under the control of Kirika's ability.

This was Wang Ruyue's first time seeing Kirika's power in person, and she felt amazed. Previously she had only heard about it from Tenku and the other girls. Originally Wang Ruyue thought that the combat power of the monster corpses would decrease after being controlled by Kirika. But what happened was the opposite.

She didn't expect Kirika's ability to be that great. If her strength increased, then it would be possible for her to control many high-level monsters. Then Wang Ruyue turned her eyes to Kirika, who stood far behind her and found the girl smiling proudly.

Wang Ruyue was irritated when she saw her expression but didn't have time to deal with her now because several Lamia was charging at her. She left two monsters to Kirika, and she would fight the rest.

On the other hand, Setsuka and Kaede also killed several Lamias. Unfortunately, most of the monster's corpses were not intact. Some were frozen in ice blocks, and others were full of holes in their bodies. They only left two intact corpses that Kirika could still use to fight.

As Setsuka and Kaede were intent on killing the remaining Lamias, their faces changed after sensing danger from behind. Both saw the Basilisk move as they focused on fighting the other monsters.

"Stay away from here!" Setsuka shouted at Kaede and Wang Ruyue. The two girls quickly left the place and went to Kirika. Setsuka caught up with them from behind, and she saw the Basilisk open its mouth wide and release a purple liquid at her.

"It is a poisonous liquid!" Setsuka sensed danger from the purple liquid shot from the Basilisk's mouth. She immediately created a wall of ice to block the attack, but her face darkened when she saw it melted instantly on contact with the purple liquid.

Fortunately, the power and speed of the attack decreased. So Setsuka could easily avoid it and go to the other girls' locations.

"That liquid is very corrosive! I can't let myself get hit by that attack! I might be seriously injured if it touches my body." Setsuka said with a solemn face.

Kaede, Wang Ruyue, and Kirika also had shocked reactions on their faces. They did not expect that the Basilisk would have such a terrifying attack. The girls trembled at the thought of the purple liquid hitting their faces. Kirika and the others didn't want that to happen.

"I have read the information about the Basilisk. Although it is a fifth-level monster, its strength is almost on par with a sixth-level one. At first, I was confused when I read about it because the Holy Union's database and other sources didn't go into detail.

But now I understand the reason. That monster has a troublesome ability. Aside from the fact that the look in her eyes could affect one's soul, that purple liquid was also dangerous as it had a terrifying corrosive power." Kaede said to the two girls.

Wang Ruyue and Kirika were surprised after they heard the explanation. They knew about the Basilisk, but this was the first time they discovered its strength was on par with a sixth-level monster.

"Then what are we going to do? Shall we run away from here and leave the monster in Amanohashidate?" Kirika asked worriedly. She had thought that Kaede and Wang Ruyue would let the Realizers from the organization's headquarters handle it. But Kirika wasn't sure if they could fight the Basilisk.

Even if reinforcements arrived, they would prioritize fighting the Hydra and the mutated Wyverns as they had to catch the terrorists controlling the two monsters.

All the visitors had been evacuated to a safer place, but Amanohashidate would be doomed if they allowed the Basilisk to run amok. Besides that, no one could guarantee that the monsters would stay there and not move to other locations. Kirika feared that the Basilisk would head toward where the visitors were gathered.

"No! We will hold the monster here!" The one who answered Kirika's question was Setsuka. After dodging the attack from the Basilisk, she quickly joined the girls.

"But how do we fight that monster? Aside from the attacks from the glare in its eyes, the purple liquid from her mouth is extremely dangerous. We will be seriously injured or even die if that attack hits us. Wouldn't it be better if we contacted Tenku and handed over the monster to him?" Wang Ruyue responded to Setsuka's words. She was pessimistic that they could beat the Basilisk since its power was on par with a sixth-level monster.

"We can't bother Tenku to fight against that monster. He might be busy on another matter. Furthermore, the ones who would become his enemies were the two terrorist members of Ghost Nebula, the mutated Wyvern and the Hydra. Therefore, we must not burden him." Setsuka shook her head. She didn't want to bother Tenku by asking him to come to that place and fight the Basilisk.

Setsuka was embarrassed to have to do that. Although she couldn't help Tenku to fight his opponent, at least she shouldn't burden him. Thus, they had to deal with the monsters themselves since they were Realizers and not weak girls.

Kirika and the other two girls fell silent when they heard that. Setsuka's words were true. They would only show Tenku they were weak if they had to ask him to come to that place to deal with the Basilisk. However, Tenku had a more dangerous opponent if a battle between him and the terrorists from Ghost Nebula broke out.

"What should we do to fight it?" Kaede asked.

"I, Ruyue, and Kaede will attack from a distance while Kirika will use the corpses of the lamias and try to injure the Basilisk up close. Once we see an opportunity, we attack it with our full power and finish the monster." Setsuka explained her plan to the girls, and they nodded in agreement.

"Then let's defeat that monster!" Setsuka said with eyes full of fighting spirit.

"Yes!" Kirika and the other two answered in unison. After that, the battle between the girls and the Basilisk started.
