Realizer of Death : The Reaper



"Setsuka!"

"Kaede!"

"Ruyue!"

Kirika cried worriedly when she saw the three girls blown away and vomiting blood. She had not expected the Basilisk to launch a sudden attack from within the purple smoke after noticing them approaching that place.

"I am fine." The one who responded to Kirika's words was Setsuka.

"Me too." Wang Ruyue said afterward.

"I feel my whole body aches." Kaede was the last to answer.

The three girls slowly stood up and drank high-level potions. Their conditions improved, but the wounds on their bodies did not heal completely.

Although the girls said they were fine, the attack hit them hard and severely injured them. Fortunately, they had high-level potions in their space pockets. So they could quickly heal their injuries. After their conditions improved, the three girls returned to Kirika.

Setsuka and the other two didn't dare to attack Basilisk hastily like before. They admitted that they had acted recklessly in wanting to kill the monster quickly.

"The basilisk seems to have been waiting for you to get close because the monster knows you want to attack it again." Kirika looked at the purple smoke and gave her opinion.

"Has the monster also been injected with the serum?" Kaede asked in surprise.

"No, I think the monster was acting on instinct. We had made the mistake of getting close to the purple smoke and not expecting the monster to attack us so accurately even though it had lost sight." Setsuka shook her head and replied.

"In that case, how do we eliminate that poisonous smoke? None of us can dispel it. We won't be able to attack the Basilisk if it stays hidden in that area.

Besides, we can't get too close to that place because the monster might swing its tail again or even spit poison liquid at us." Wang Ruyue was confused about what they should do. They couldn't leave the place nor knew how to deal with the Basilisk.

If they left it alone, the purple smoke would spread to the surrounding area. It would be dangerous for the environment and the people in Amanohashidate. Moreover, they had no idea when the Basilisk would move and spit out another purple smoke.

Setsuka and the other two girls fell silent after hearing that, and they looked at the Basilisk's location with serious faces. Not long after, one of them opened her mouth.

"Could you make the area around the Basilisk into a grove? I want the purple smoke to stick to the trees and disappear. If ten trees can't do that, then we'll use twenty, and so on. Of course, I will also help you absorb the poisonous smoke with blocks of ice. Only me and you can do that out of the four of us." Setsuka looked at Kaede and said.

"That's a great idea! I can do that since I still have enough Genesis power." Kaede quickly complied with Setsuka's request.

"Then what should I do? Am I just going to sit back and watch you fight against the Basilisk?" Wang Ruyue pouted when she heard their conversation. She was irritated that Setsuka didn't involve her in her plans, but she realized she couldn't do anything to dispel the poisonous smoke.

"No, you will help us fight the Basilisk once we clear the purple smoke in the area. Your role will be crucial in killing the monster because your long-range slash is sharp and can significantly damage it. We will attack the monster with full power and defeat the Basilisk quickly. We can't let it release another toxic fume in this place." Setsuka said seriously.

"I understand." Wang Ruyue nodded in response to her words. She was happy because she could take part in killing the Basilisk.

"Then let's start now, Kaede." Setsuka looked at her best friend and smiled.

"Yes! Let's defeat the monster!" Kaede said with determination, tapping her staff a few times on the ground.

After that, dozens of large trees grew around the Basilisk's location but quickly corroded upon coming into contact with the purple smoke. But then, another tree appears after the other one dies, and so on.

Setsuka created a pillar of ice between the trees, and the purple smoke that covered the area touched it and quickly decreased in intensity. Kaede and the others could finally see the body of the Basilisk.

Hiss!

The monster moved and wanted to spit out another purple smoke, but Setsuka noticed and immediately opened her mouth.

"The Basilisk is about to spit out purple smoke again! Attack the monsters now!" Setsuka warned and signaled the girls to attack after most of the purple smoke in the area cleared, and the Basilisk's head came into view.

Wang Ruyue was waiting for Setsuka's words and had prepared her attack. She compressed an enormous amount of Qi and Genesis power in her sword and swung it towards the Basilisk.

Thousands of Slashes!

Tens of sword Qi shot at high speed and bombarded the Basilisk's eyes.

Hiss!

The monster writhed in pain and opened its jaw to shoot the poison attack. But Kaede swiftly prevented it by using tree roots and vines. She used that to shut the Basilisk's mouth.

Kaede's attack wasn't over yet. She tapped his staff, and another colossal vine grew around the Basilisk and locked its body from neck to tail. Afterward, two spiky roots appeared in front of the monster and pierced its eyes.

Hiss!

The Basilisk was angry and struggled to open its mouth. The roots and vines from Kaede's attack slowly shattered, but the monster's mouth suddenly froze before it could open wide.

Setsuka brandished her Phantasmal Object, and two gigantic ice swords appeared above the Basilisk's head. It fell right into the monster's eye, making its wound deeper and worse.

"Now, Kirika!" Setsuka looked back and shouted.

"I understand!" Kirika replied with a solemn face. Then she pointed her two hands at the two giant spiky roots and unleashed her power. After that, the two big roots slowly floated up, and she swung them toward the Basilisk's eyes.

"Die!" Kirika roared and threw the two spiky roots. She had to use all of the Genesis power in her body to move it at high speed. The two giant spiky roots shot out like a spear and precisely pierced the monster's eye.

Hiss!

The Basilisk was in pain and tried to shake off the two large tree roots stabbing into its eyes. But no matter how hard the monster attempted, it couldn't get rid of it because it was stuck deep enough. Before long, the Basilisk no longer struggled, and its body stopped moving.

Setsuka and the others were delighted to see they had killed the Basilisk. But then the monster suddenly moved again. Its scales turned red, and the Basilisk went berserk. The vines and ice that had locked onto its body shattered.

The girls were shocked when they saw that, and their faces turned pale. They didn't expect the attack wasn't enough to kill the monster. They don't know what to do in that situation. The girls had exhausted the source of energy in their bodies after their previous attacks.

Even so, they took their stand to fight and were ready to fight the Basilisk. Wang Ruyue and the other two girls knew they couldn't face that monster in their current state. Moreover, the three girls were still injured from the Basilisk's attack. But they have no other choice but to fight the monster.

They were worried that the Basilisk would move into a densely populated area in a rampage and deal terrible damage. The girls didn't want that to happen.

Hiss!

The Basilisk turned its face to Setsuka's group and slowly moved towards them. Although the monster couldn't see their position clearly, it could sense their presence. But the girls didn't know that.

Setsuka and the others tensed up and gripped their weapons tightly. They were nearly exhausted, and their speed had dropped drastically. So the girls wouldn't be able to dodge or block if the Basilisk wanted to attack them.

"What should we do now, Setsuka?" Kaede asked breathlessly. Her face was pale because she had used too much of her power to create a small forest to dispel the purple smoke in the area.

"We have to keep fighting the Basilisk. If we leave that monster here, we don't know where it will go! So we must defeat it to eliminate the risk of the Basilisk running amok in another location." Setsuka answered and ground her teeth.

"Yeah, you're right. But how are we going to deal with that monster? We are exhausted and have difficulty moving in our current condition. So there's no way we can fight against the Basilisk." Wang Ruyue responded to Setsuka's words. She also wanted to defeat the Basilisk and remove the danger to Amanohashidate. Still, she realized she couldn't do that in her weak body condition.

"We will fight against the Basilisk using the remaining strength in our bodies. Even if we can't win, we can keep the monster here and buy it time for a while. I'm sure Tenku will notice what happened here." Setsuka said and smiled bitterly. She couldn't help but have to rely on Tenku to fight the Basilisk because she realized that they were not the opponent of the monsters.

The monster was already on a different level and was beyond their strength. So Setsuka thought they could only wait for Tenku to defeat the Basilisk. She felt sad and disappointed with herself, but she couldn't do anything about it because her opponent was so strong and she was weak.

Wang Ruyue and the others also felt disappointed after they heard that. They try to show Tenku they are strong, but they still need his help.

As they were lost in their feelings, the girls returned to their senses after hearing the snake's hiss and found that the Basilisk was opening its mouth toward them. Setsuka and the others didn't expect the monsters could figure out their position.

"This is dangerous! The Basilisk will rerelease noxious fumes! Stop that monster!" Setsuka raised her voice to warn the other girls. But it was too late, and they couldn't do anything in their current state.

"Are we going to die here? If I had known this would happen, I would have spent more time with Tenku." Setsuka muttered and smiled sadly when she saw the Basilisk's open jaw. Wang Ruyue, Kaede, and Kirika also had the same feelings as her.

When the girls saw the purple liquid gathering in the Basilisk's mouth, they had already resigned themselves to their deaths. But the gigantic sword Qi rushed at terrifying speed towards the monster and easily cut its neck.

Slash!
