So I decided to rewrite chapter 10 because writing it was a stupid ass decision I've made
Tenka pov
So after that shit show I teleport into a more secluded area to make my base of operation
The best option is an old abandoned warehouse in the Tengu City industrial district because why not this would be my Lair
It's perfectly hidden and out of Fraxinus reach
But when I was about to get comfortable, realization hit me
I got no plans or simply I didn't think of it yet
All I have done until now was acting and threatening people, which I really enjoy
Time passed and night slowly came and I was brooding alone in the dark until the light that illuminate the city starts passing through the cracks and opening of this old building
That is when I find my light in the darkness
I got an idea on how to deal with all this without doing much work
"I'm gonna help Shido grow by oppressing him as a villain"
I'm sorry Westcott I'm about to take your job
L. Shido only said that I cant kill but he doesn't say anything about antagonizing people
As for my first act, I use the power which I stole from Mio to create clones of myself to help in decisions making because I'm too lazy to think
Tenka: okay, let's start the meeting...
One hour later...
Tenka: I've recognize the council have made a decision. But given that it's a stupid ass decision, I elected to ignore it.
Clone1: Well, can't say much about it. We are you after all. If you're too lazy to do things then so do us.
Clone2: Do anyone have any idea or anything we could use as a base to our plan. Like seriously, I couldn't come up with anything. We shared braincells. We need to make move now if we are to be one step ahead of our enemies.
The clones continue to argue until one clone who have been silent all the time speaks
That clone was a mysterious one, even for me
Clone3: It is said that one should keep one's allies within view, an one's enemies within reach. A valid statement. One must be able to read an ally's strengths, so as to determine how to best use them. One must similarly be able to read his enemy's weaknesses, so as to determine how to best defeat him.
Tenka: Did you just quoted star wars just now?
Clone3: Yes, I take it that you get my point.
Clone4: That's a nice quote you got there but we all need to remember that the DEM and AST interlopers would always there to make trouble. So I think our best course of action is to swept them away.
Tenka: I'm afraid that is not possible. DEM hold an important role in the global economy that if it were to disappear will results the collapse of the economy which can create problems as well as threatening the global stability. As for the AST however, they're merely a public servant, basically fill with incompetent teenage girl soldiers.
Clone2: That might be true but don't forget, they're also too well equipped. They more dangerous that you realize. They might have more skillful soldier like Origami in their ranks.
Clone3: Dangerous to us if we are a normal spirit which we are not. I'm not saying that we're invincible but the power we possessed is enough to level a continent.
Clone4: So why don't we just reveal ourselves and instilled fear in the global population. Fear will keep them in line. Fear to us.
Clone1: And what if they use that fear against us. Driven by fear they might take a drastic measures and it is possible however unlikely they might find a weakness and exploit it. Don't underestimate the capability of a human being.
Clone3: I find your argument is... reasonable.
Tenka: Then it settles. We're going to attack from the shadow. Create conflict and mistrust upon them.
Clone2: We could also use Mio's power. Remember she had the ability to create a creature from different elements. We could create an army of those mindless creature and take over the city like what you said to Kotori.
Clone3: Agreed. That will keep AST and Ratatoskr busy while we execute our plans. Remember in order for this mission to succeed is Shido growing into an independent warrior so he could be useful to Lord Shido.
Timeskip
Over the course of one month, Tengu City have been under a siege put by me causing great panic among the confused citizen
Plus a hoard of monstrous being wrecking havoc in every corner of the city
The inhabitants continue to barricade themselves inside spacequake bunkers until the situations calm which totally not gonna happen anytime soon
The AST have been fighting violently every single day to defend the city
They suffered heavy casualties to the point they were incapable to send any more troops as the elemental creature suppress them in numbers and size
They might be mindless but that is the best thing about it, they're not stopping until their target is killed or they themselves were destroyed
And the best thing is the world knows nothing of this as all communication have been cut off completely
Which means this would gone unaware and DEM won't be notified any time soon
As for Shido and other unsealed spirit, the council decided to create a scenario that would lead to Shido's direct meeting with the said spirits
There is also several occasions where Mio directly appear in the city, curious about the creatures that are oddly similar to her's that she created in the past to deceive Kurumi
She could sense my presence which cause her to be more alert
3rd person pov
Kotori, the Loli commander have just enter Fraxinus command bridge looking more miserable than ever after dealing with several issues to the fact the entire city is under a siege and all communication attempts failed
Kotori pov
This is nuts, I can't believe all of this was cause by one spirit
She said it's gonna be a demonstrative takeover
But those creatures said otherwise, it's a full scale invasion of this city and thanks to the city's location inside a giant crater, we were completely cut off from outside world
It's been one month yet no one have noticed what happen here
Kyouhei just reports that AST could no longer do anything as they have exhausted their resources and the number of soldiers are decreasing at a fast rate
But surprisingly, the process of sealing the spirits have been done without any problem
We were somehow able to find hermit unconscious right in front of a shrine which give Shido opportunity to rescue her and gain her affection in the process
She's now currently living one the Fraxinus and I'm glad she's comfortable here
As for the crew, they look no different then Reine on her regular , they look like a sleep deprived zombie, working none stop for days
Bzzz...
Kotori: Wait is it, Shido?
Shido(via earpiece): "Kotori! Tohka have engage into a fight with one of those creatures!
Kotori: Dammit, it seems no rest for me today.
Scene change
Tenka pov
I was on a high rise building overlooking the city watching the destruction that have spread as far as eyes can see then I sense a gaze from the shadow
Tenka: You may come out...I know you're there...
And come out from the shadow was none other than the infamous Nightmare or Kurumi.
Kurumi: So you notice me. Well you seems to be an interesting one. I take it that you're the one who responsible for all this. Then, you must be powerful. I would like to have a taste you.
Tenka: You will try.
I stood still while Kurumi summons a hoard of herself readied with pistols and muskets
She then spreads her clones and surround me before firing at me from all direction
Creating a huge cloud of dust upon contact however as the dust clear
I appear unscratch earning a dumbfounded look from Kurumi
Tenka: Fall.
All Kurumi clones suddenly pinned on the ground by an invisible force then one of the clones which turn out to be the real Kurumi try to stand up but fall back due to immense pressure
She try over and over again but all end up in a complete failure
It was very amusing but she doesn't seem to give up
Tenka: You are alone child. You should know your opponent before you do anything stupid. You are strong child...but I'm beyond strength.
I slowly approach her and I can see a hint off fear and anger in her eyes
Kurumi: Damn you!!
Tenka: Your struggle is futile. Hahaha, you reminds me of what I once was...A weak and naive spirit like you...but I found it...beneath me, so that's when I become who I am.
Kurumi: What the hell are you?!!
Tenka: If you insist on knowing who am I then let me tell you a story... Before there was time, before there was anything, there was nothing... And before there was nothing, there were monsters...And among those monster was me.
I then show her a glimpse of my power
The power of spitting nonsense that is
However due to me saying that with a straight face, Kurumi was unable to deter if I'm lying or not
That's when Kurumi realize she is no match for me
She then sink into her own shadow, probably running for her life, leaving her clones behind

3rd person pov
Shido and the Fraxinus crew including Kotori have live full time inside Fraxinus due to their house was already been reduce to rubble by monsters
Timeskip
Shido pov
Shido: Where am I?
Tenka: We meet again, Sealer.
Shido: It's you! Why did you do all this?
Tenka: Why are you to question my action?
Shido: I was trying to help you!
Tenka: Do I look like I need your help?
Shido: B-But...
Tenka: (sigh) Maybe if I'd raised you I could've made you better. And not some weak, sniveling p*ssy who can't event stand on your own two feet.
Shido: What?
Tenka: You're a f*cking disappointment.
I then flick on his forehead causing him to passed out
.....
I honestly don't know what I'm writing right now
