While exploring the surroundings and while teveryone was resting, Takeru did not rest directly. Instead, he was training his telekinesis.
Everyone saw a large number of weapons constantly rotating around Takeru, looking very dazzling.
Currently, Takeru could control five weapons with relatively high precision. Controlling more was comparatively difficult.
Five was also the result of Takeru's long training. It can be said that it was equivalent to about five people fighting...
Soon, as time passed, everyone even enjoyed lunch on the fourth floor.
After lunch and a bit more rest, they continued towards the fifth floor.
Upon descending to the fifth floor, everyone felt a wave of heat because the fifth floor was a refinery. They even saw flowing magma, and there were a large number of ordinary kobolds working.
"Let's start killing!" Although there were many kobolds, Takeru didn't plan to take it slow. Instead, he launched attacks against them with simple and brutal force.
As two kobolds pushing mine carts died, the kobolds on guard nearby also noticed something was wrong. They howled and searched for Takeru and the others, finding them on the wooden scaffolding not long after.
After discovering Takeru and the others, the kobolds howled again. Seeing this, Mio quickly released an ice arrow that directly pierced through the alert kobold that was signaling.
In other places, as kobolds howled, a large number of kobolds quickly surged out from all directions, soon surrounding Takeru and the others.
Takeru and the others were not afraid at all. They stood above, continuously killing the kobolds below...
Soon, a large number of kobolds died forever. And at this moment, an enormous kobold dragging a huge greatsword walked out.
Black and white spots, a body three times the size of an ordinary kobold, plus a fierce aura constantly impacting Mio and the others.
Seeing it, the surrounding kobolds also made way.
"That is!" Seeing the huge kobold, Mio exclaimed. Feeling its fierce aura made her keep swallowing nervously...
"Dead Spot!" Ui quickly said. Ui could also sense that Dead Spot would be troublesome. Facing it now, she would probably be in considerable danger.
As the only displayed side quest, plus the 30 gold coin bounty at the agency, everyone naturally knew about it.
"Fireball!" After seeing Dead Spot, Yui, who usually seemed a bit ditzy, quickly launched an attack. A fireball swiftly rushed towards Dead Spot.
But seeing Yui's attack, Dead Spot directly raised its greatsword and swung down hard, splitting the fireball apart.
"Hypnosis Shadow!" Seeing this, Mio also attacked Dead Spot. But perhaps due to high resistance, facing Mio's Hypnosis Shadow, Dead Spot wasn't greatly affected.
At this point, Dead Spot no longer waited. It directly swung heavily at the wooden scaffolding where Takeru and the others were. The scaffolding was instantly destroyed, forcing Takeru and the others to fall.
However, everyone was prepared for this. With a couple of quick jumps, they landed easily, only Shihoru was slightly worse off. But Takeru held her, bringing her to land safely on the ground...
Seeing Takeru and the others fall, the other kobolds also charged fiercely towards them, preparing to tear them to pieces in a group attack.
"Spider Technique!" Seeing this, Ui made several jumps, continuously landing on some kobolds, quickly killing them instantly, then swiftly retreated.
At this moment, Dead Spot also swung an attack towards Mio. Seeing this, Tsumugi stepped forward, barely blocking Dead Spot's heavy blow.
From the collision, Tsumugi even felt her hands trembling. But fortunately, she could still manage to defend.
Noticing Tsumugi struggling, Yui and Mio quickly charged their magic. Simultaneously releasing a spell, they forced Dead Spot back.
Ui seized the opportunity, delivering a backstab that caused considerable damage.
"Roar!" Feeling the pain inflicted by the girls, Dead Spot roared angrily.
Then, with a spinning slash, it tried to instantly kill Ui, but Ui had already retreated out of Dead Spot's attack range after using the backstab.
However, Dead Spot's attack did not miss. When it spun halfway, Takeru appeared behind it as if teleporting. Facing the sweeping greatsword, Takeru directly caught it with one hand.
As the greatsword met Takeru's palm, Dead Spot felt its attack hit something incredibly hard. Not only was it difficult to advance, but the recoil force was somewhat hard for it to bear.
Takeru, however, smiled slightly at the sudden increase of 188 mana points. Clearly, the attack had just been devoured by Gluttony.
"Yui, Ui, Mio, and Tsumugi, you deal with the other kobolds first. Also, Shihoru, protect yourself and help heal Yui and the others. As for Dead Spot, leave it to me first!" Takeru directly looked at everyone and said loudly.
"Yes!" Seeing Takeru block Dead Spot's sweeping attack bare-handed, everyone withdrew, leaving Dead Spot for Takeru to handle.
Seeing Takeru look down on it so much, Dead Spot felt immensely angry. It then pulled out its greatsword again and continuously attacked Takeru.
But no matter how Dead Spot attacked, Takeru just stood in place, lightly moving his hands to completely defend against all its attacks.
Amidst one attacking and the other defending, over five minutes passed. Dead Spot even seemed somewhat out of breath. Continuously attacking Takeru with full force for five minutes, plus the recoil force, made it feel somewhat tired.
Apart from its fatigue, Yui and the others had continuously killed a large number of kobolds.
Combined with high concentration, they now also seemed somewhat tired. Yet kobolds still kept pouring out like a tide, making them somewhat exhausted.
Takeru also noticed this problem. Then, he began using telekinesis to control the short swords, making them constantly slash. Soon, large numbers of kobolds quickly fell. Seeing this, Yui and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Besides killing the little kobolds, Takeru also no longer intended to keep defending.
With Dead Spot's hard work helping, Takeru's MP Reserve had already exceeded 20,000.
"Goodbye, Dead Spot!" Speaking softly, Takeru once again caught Dead Spot's swinging greatsword with one hand. But this time, Takeru used the greatsword to leap directly onto Dead Spot's head.
Looking at its huge head, Takeru's hands turned pitch black. Then, under Dead Spot's horrified gaze, Takeru's fists continuously struck its head.
Facing Takeru's heavy punches, Dead Spot was in a stunned state. Takeru didn't stop at all.
After hitting over ten punches in a row, he changed his fist into a palm, fiercely stabbing into its neck.
With Conqueror's Haki, Takeru's palm easily pierced through Dead Spot's main artery. Only after his entire arm had penetrated did Takeru withdraw his arm and distance himself.
Facing this piercing attack from Takeru, Dead Spot naturally had no strength left to resist. It fell to the ground, motionless.
The surrounding kobolds finally showed terrified expressions upon seeing this. Takeru, however, didn't plan to let them go.
Quickly releasing Rankyaku and coordinating with telekinetic short swords, soon, apart from Takeru and the others, there were no creatures left standing in the area...
After seeing all the kobolds killed, everyone finally sat down tiredly on the ground.
Although the battle was brief, the kobolds' tide-like attack just now brought immense pressure to Yui and the others. They even suspected that relaxing slightly could lead to being killed.
But the results were gratifying.
Under the tide-like attack just now, everyone's practical combat experience greatly improved. As long as they thoroughly digested it, they could handle being surrounded more easily next time.
After everyone had a good rest, Takeru began leading the group to harvest the loot. As for the huge Dead Spot, they only needed to bring back some proof to claim the bounty.
