Bell also brought his team here: Haruhime, Liliruca, and Welf were all together.
Although the others were very skeptical about Takatsuki saying he would deal with the six Spirits alone, they didn't voice it out of respect for Bell. Only Liliruca was muttering to herself in the back.
"Those are six Corrupted Spirit Doppelgangers, and they're not even in the same place. Even if you run, it would take half a day to get to each location."
Takatsuki heard Liliruca's muttering, but he didn't care, because Kiana and Mei trusted Takatsuki very much and had already proactively asked.
"Do you need us to do anything?"
Takatsuki nodded and took out five weapons.
"Wait for me for a bit."
A LV6 Nen was already sufficient for Takatsuki, so the original Takatsuki hadn't intended to raise the Nen level. However, it's important to know that Nen isn't just about having a special ability; its inherent power also strengthens the body, enhances attacks, and increases the intensity of Nen.
By smashing crystals to level it up twice, reaching LV8, the [Close at Hand Yet Worlds Apart] ability finally reached a possibility Takatsuki had once envisioned: simultaneously opening passages to multiple places.
LV7 merely expanded the size of the passage, allowing Takatsuki to no longer have to enter vertically, but to directly open a passage over two meters in diameter, allowing him to walk right through.
And LV8, meanwhile, allowed him to open ten passages simultaneously.
He attached his incredibly powerful Nen to the weapons in his hands and handed them to the big three and Bell respectively.
"Still one person short."
Takatsuki looked at the remaining people: Welf, Liliruca, and Haruhime. None of them could Stand alone and survive in this place.
Takatsuki felt a bit awkward looking at the last weapon in his hand.
"Takatsuki, why are you giving us these weapons? Can they defeat those Corrupted Spirit Doppelgangers?"
Takatsuki shook his head at Kiana's question.
"Sort of, but not exactly. These primarily serve as my attack anchor points. Your mission is to throw this thing in front of the enemy, and I will perform pinpoint strikes through the magic attached to the weapon. But now, we're still missing one person."
Takatsuki scratched his head, a bit troubled: "Forget it, if worst comes to worst, I'll just run to two points myself."
No sooner had Takatsuki's voice fallen than a clear voice came from the shadows.
"Need help?"
An adventurer wearing a green cloak and with a white cloth covering her face emerged from the shadows.
"Ryuu-san! Why are you here?"
The elf girl called Ryuu coughed lightly: "Syr was worried about your safety."
Without further explanation, Ryuu walked up to Takatsuki: "If it's just delivering this thing to that guy, I should be fine."
Finally, the girl added, "If you trust me."
"Of course."
Takatsuki naturally recognized the masked girl in front of him. He handed her the last weapon in his hand: "Then I'll leave it to you."
"You too, the green flesh around here might use magic attacks on you, so be careful."
After simple instructions, everyone present ran towards their respective assigned directions.
Only Bell had a whole team with him, while the others were all alone.
Takatsuki also arrived at the location of the Corrupted Spirit Doppelganger he was responsible for.
It was a monster standing there like a towering pillar. Its lower body was a massive cylindrical torso, and on the ground was a deep purple glowing magic circle that seemed to contain poison. The female upper body was singing loudly.
Its height reached the ceiling of the Tenth Floor. The giant pillar made of green flesh constantly writhed, with red, purple, and black flowers blooming on it. Just looking at it felt ominous.
Above the tree trunk, countless huge tentacles were twisting eerily.
The pillar beneath the female body had three faces each on its front, left, and right sides. Their eyeless visages, like masks, displayed the inorganic nature of the material: one smiling, one angry, and one sighing.
Upon sensing Takatsuki's arrival, the female body did not stop singing, but the surrounding tentacles had already lunged at Takatsuki.
Takatsuki did only one thing in response to the attacking tentacles.
"Shikoutazer!"
The massive Supreme Imperial Armament appeared in this Dungeon, its body directly piercing through the 13th Floor's ceiling. Its sturdy frame, crafted from countless precious materials, was impervious to the tentacles' attacks.
Instead, it clenched its fist and hammered down on the 'tiny' Corrupted Spirit Doppelganger.
However, as expected of an extremely powerful monster, it was still lively after two punches.
Takatsuki did not use artillery fire; he simply had the Shikoutazer continuously swing its fists at the Corrupted Spirit Doppelganger.
Ignoring the Shikoutazer abusing the Corrupted Spirit Doppelganger, Takatsuki, in a corner, waved his hand to open five passages.
Ryuu had already thrown her sword onto the magic circle beneath the Corrupted Spirit's feet, and Mei had just arrived. The other three were a bit slower, but it didn't matter.
In the eyes of Fels and many adventurers, golden light appeared in front of the Corrupted Spirit, and a large number of weapons shot out from the light, falling like rain onto the Corrupted Spirit's body.
For several months, Takatsuki had persistently projected weapons daily to increase his reserves. By today, he could create nearly a thousand projected weapons daily, and due to continuous practice, the number of weapons he could create at once was increasing, and the manufacturing speed was accelerating.
This led to Takatsuki's weapon storage in the King's Treasure reaching a terrifying nearly forty thousand.
If he disregarded the cost, he could essentially throw nearly ten thousand weapons at each Corrupted Spirit, enough to bury them by sheer volume alone.
Not to mention the throwing damage of the projected weapons combined with the secondary damage of Broken Phantasm.
"This Takatsuki is too terrifying. His ability allows for ultra-long-range strikes as long as he has an anchor point."
Takatsuki created a disguise, making people believe his ability was merely long-range striking, as long-range striking and arbitrary traversal are two different concepts.
At the other three Fallen Spirits, anchor points had also been delivered.
Takatsuki simultaneously unleashed a rain of weapons in five locations.
Fortunately, the King's Treasure had no restrictions on the number of open exits; the only challenge was Takatsuki's control: controlling the precision of the throwing targets and ensuring each weapon exploded after piercing into the Corrupted Spirit's body.
At five hundred weapons, the Spirit Pillar began to tilt; at one thousand, it began to collapse; at two thousand, the Spirit Pillar was already bombed to tatters.
Although the Corrupted Spirit's recovery speed was very fast, it was evident that the mastermind behind the scenes had filled the surrounding environment with magic power to allow them to absorb it continuously and restore themselves, enabling them to use magic without restraint.
However, under the storm of attacks, the recovery speed simply could not keep up with the rate of destruction.
Although each Spirit Pillar could withstand a different number of attacks, none of them endured the baptism of five thousand projected weapons.
Thus, the great crisis threatening Orario was ended in an inconceivable manner, witnessed by a host of adventurers.
Instantly, a thunderous cheer erupted. Although they didn't defeat it themselves, the joy of surviving this crisis that affected everyone in Orario made everyone cheer.
"I've come for the answer."
Somewhere in the Dungeon, Loki, carrying a magic stone lamp, arrived and spoke to a cloaked figure hidden in a small wooden cabin.
"Dionysus..."
