"Ooh? You finally came. It's a shame you're late because I just finished those two big monsters. The two monsters might still have been saved if you had come earlier." Tenku said calmly and tried to stabilize his breathing. He used a lot of Qi and genesis power in his previous attack.

After Tenku killed all the monsters in that place, he got a lot of genesis power from them and divided it into three parts. For Devourer Scythe, Golden Revolver, and lastly, he converted into Qi for his cultivation.

The black-robed person's body trembled with anger after hearing Tenku's words. He clenched his fist tightly and looked at Tenku with bloodshot eyes.

The hundreds of monsters in that cavern had been entrusted by the Ghost Nebula organization to him. He had been training the monsters for several months, and the monsters would be used for their big plans.

If Tenku only killed orcs and ogres, then it wouldn't be too much of a problem for him. But the person before him had killed the drake and cactus golem. Both were fourth and fifth-class monsters that were very valuable to the organization. The black-robed person would be severely punished if Ghost Nebula found out.

"Bastard! You must die for what you have done! Kill that person for me!" The black-robed person gave an order to the monster behind him. He had been consumed by his anger and had forgotten something important; Tenku had killed the drake and cactus golem. So it wasn't a problem for him to kill the wyvern.

Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

"Another fourth-level monster. Good!" Tenku grinned under his mask and disappeared from where he stood. Even though he almost ran out of stamina after fighting the cactus golem and drake, his strength recovered a bit after absorbing the genesis power of the monsters he had killed.

The ceiling inside the cave was high enough for the wyvern to fly up and fire its attack from above. The monster released a huge fireball at Tenku, and he frowned after noticing something.

Tenku looked around him and sighed. If the fireball hit the ground, the explosion would destroy the monsters' corpses and their cores. It would make his previous battle pointless.

Tenku jumped and slashed the fireball. The attack split into several pieces and exploded in the air. He had to kill the wyvern immediately to stop it from firing another attack that could ravage the monsters' corpses on the ground. Tenku stepped through the air using the compressed Qi as a foothold and approached the Wyvern.

"What!?" The black-robed person was shocked by Tenku's action and got a bad feeling from him.

(Where did this guy come from!? Is he from the Holy Union or other official organizations? How come I didn't know those organizations had monsters like that!)

The black-robed person finally realized Tenku's power and how dangerous he was.

Tenku ran after the wyvern that kept maneuvering under the cave ceiling to avoid him. The monster was scared because his instinct told him that Tenku was dangerous. The Wyvern tried to escape from Tenku's pursuit, but the cave's narrow environment and many stalactites did not allow the monster to fly at high speed. Because of that, Tenku quickly caught up to the wyvern and swung his scythe on one of its wings.

Slash!

Blood spurted, and the wyvern's right wing was cut off. The monster lost its balance and fell.

Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The Wyvern was in pain and angry because of Tenku's attack. The monster ignored its instincts and intended to get up and shoot a fireball, but Tenku didn't give the wyvern a chance. Tenku compressed the Qi in his scythe and slashed it at the wyvern's wide-open mouth.

Slash!

The Qi blades shot out at terrifying speed and sliced the wyvern from its mouth to the tip of its tail. After the monster died, a large amount of genesis power was absorbed into Tenku's body.

Tenku looked at the monster's corpse and suddenly raised her eyebrows after feeling something. He quickly disappeared from where he was standing and reappeared a few meters away.

Splash!

Tenku saw a giant water ball fall where he was standing before. Then he turned his eyes to the black-robed person holding a dagger in his right hand.

Ocean Dagger : D-rank

The black-robed person silently manifested his Phantasmal Object and attacked when he saw the opportunity after Tenku killed the wyvern.

Even though the black-robed man was shocked by the result of the fight between Tenku and the wyvern, he quickly came back to his senses and didn't want to miss the chance to kill Tenku. Unfortunately, his actions were in vain because Tenku had already noticed his movements.

"Die!" The black-robed person shouted angrily and attacked Tenku with all his might.

"Phantasmal release..."

WATER MANIPULATION

The black-robed person created dozens of water spears and shot them at Tenku. But the attack was easily dodged by Tenku, and he slowly approached that person.

"Do not come close!" The black-robed person finally realized Tenku's power. He fired dozens of water bullets at him. Unfortunately, that attack had no effect as Tenku's body had reached the fourth layer of the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art. The water bullets from the Realizer in the asteroid phase couldn't penetrate his defenses, let alone injure him.

Tenku walked slowly and ignored the water bullets that hit his body. When the black-robed person saw that, he immediately decided to flee from that place. He turned around and wanted to run toward the cave's exit, but Tenku suddenly appeared in front of him. Tenku grabbed him by the face and slammed him to the ground.

Booooommm!

"Argh!" The black-robed person vomited blood and his Phantasmal Object dissipated into particles as it was forcibly canceled.

"So, can we talk for a minute?" Tenku said in a low voice. The black-robed person could only nod his head under Tenku's terrifying gaze.

"Are you a captain of the Ghost Nebula? What is your goal at Lake Shima? Explain to me in detail, or I will separate your head from your body." Tenku said and pressed his scythe against the black-robed person's neck.

"You! How did you know about that!? Could it be you are the one who killed Chi!?" The black-robed person was shocked after hearing Tenku's question.

"Chi? Do you mean that white mask? I killed him and will do the same to you if you talk too much." Tenku threatened and looked at him coldly.

"I understand I won't talk! I won't talk!" The black-robed person felt a chill down his spine and didn't dare disobey Tenku's words.

"Then, you can start answering my questions." Tenku said indifferently and urged the black-robed person to answer his question.

After that, the black-robed person told everything he knew. But most of the information he gave was the same as the people he killed in his neighborhood.

The new information that Tenku got was that the black-robed person was named Rho, and the one he had killed was named Chi. The members of the Ghost Nebula are named after the Greek alphabet, and the strongest person in the organization is codenamed Alpha.

Apart from that, Rho also told his purpose. The monsters have been in the cavern since several months ago. The organization assigned him to train and also look after those monsters.

Rho doesn't know where the monster came from and what the organization ordered him to do it for. He only knew that the monsters would be used for their plans. But a few days ago, Rho was given an additional task from Ghost Nebula.

He suddenly received an order from his organization to give false reports about space collapse and the presence of monsters in Lake Shima to trap new Realizers from the official organization. After that, he had to kill all the Realizers that came without exception. But Rho didn't know the Ghost Nebula's purpose in giving that task. He was running errands and dared not question it.

Tenku fell silent after he heard Rho's explanation. He felt that the Ghost Nebula was very mysterious and dangerous. Even though Tenku wasn't afraid of them, he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble. Moreover, he didn't know how strong Alpha was, and Rho knew nothing about that person.

"Is there nothing else you know of that organization? If you dare to hide something from me, you already know what will happen to you, right?" Tenku said and pressed his scythe deeper into Rho's neck.

"No! I dare not hide anything from you! I have already told you what I know!" Rho panicked after feeling Tenku's scythe pressed against his neck and blood slowly flowing.

Tenku saw that Rho wasn't lying to him and knew that he couldn't get any more information out of him, no matter how cruelly he threatened him.

"Give me your smartphone." Tenku held out his hand to Rho. He had to check that person's smartphone to ensure there wasn't any more information he was hiding. Rho quickly took out his smartphone, unlocked it, and gave it to Tenku.

"The contents of his smartphone are the same as those I have killed. That organization is extremely careful in their every move and doesn't leave any traces behind." Tenku muttered after looking at the smartphone's contents and then crushed it into pieces.

"All right, you can go now." Tenku looked at Rho and said.

"Are you letting me go?" Rho asked in disbelief.

"Do you want to die here?" Tenku asked in return.

"No, no, no! I will leave this place." Rho stood up and intended to leave the cave immediately to report the matter to his organization. But then, he felt something strange because his legs couldn't move. His gaze slowly fell, and he could see his own body. After that, Rho realized that his head had been cut off. He couldn't speak anything and could only look at Tenku in horror.

"I won't let you go and bring me trouble." Tenku looked at Rho's dead body and said coldly. After that, he intended to collect monster cores but frowned upon hearing footsteps approaching the place.

"Who are you?" A familiar girl's voice rang in his ear.
