After seeing Takeru and the others, the little kobolds' expressions also turned extremely fierce. Then, they directly swung the shovels in their hands towards Takeru and the group.
"Ice Arrow!" Seeing this, Yui also showed a serious expression, quickly gathering ice arrow magic and releasing it directly at the kobold charging at the front.
Soon, the ice arrow directly hit the lead kobold. The terrifying penetrating power caused the kobold to fall powerlessly.
"Ommrel, Eckert, Will Dalid!" Mio here also quickly gathered a mass of shadow. Then, she struck the shadow hard with her staff. The shadow shot directly towards a kobold.
The moment the shadow hit the kobold, it transformed, wrapping around the kobold and inflicting immense pain upon it.
At this moment, Tsumugi even directly unleashed a Gale Slash skill, easily instantly killing the kobold...
And Ui, using the newly learned spider technique, quickly instant-killed two kobolds.
And Shihoru also used a smash against a kobold, directly dazing it somewhat, and Mio followed up with an ice arrow to finish off the dazed kobold.
Watching as the five kobolds were easily taken down by everyone, Takeru didn't mind and directly started harvesting the loot with everyone.
Compared to kobolds, the main drops from kobolds were talismans… items like rings worn on the nose.
Besides that, there weren't too many valuable things. The higher the level of the kobold, the higher the grade of talisman they wore.
Casually collecting the talismans, Takeru and the others continued to advance forward. Soon, they saw a pit.
Descending into it led to the second level of the mine, which was the area for ordinary kobolds.
Compared to the little kobolds on the first level of the mine, their combat power would be considerably higher. As for the third level, it even contained elder kobolds.
Elder kobolds belonged to the rulers, ordinary kobolds were laborers, and little kobolds were considered incapable of getting things done.
Using ropes, everyone easily descended to the second level, while Takeru jumped down very cleanly and decisively.
"Awooo~" Arriving on the second level, Takeru could clearly hear the howls of kobolds. However, the more he listened, the more he found they sounded like wolves...
But according to the intelligence Takeru gathered, although the sounds persisted, sleeping kobolds basically wouldn't be awakened by the noise.
As they kept moving forward, Takeru's Observation Haki also detected many holes dug into the mountain walls. Inside, there were quite a few kobolds sleeping...
Seeing the sleeping kobolds, Takeru didn't let them off either, directly signaling everyone to kill the kobolds.
The kobolds on the second level were noticeably more robust in build than those on the first level. Their weapons were also no longer shovels but pickaxes or short swords.
After killing them, besides collecting the talismans, Takeru and the others also confiscated some decent-looking short swords.
Later, Takeru and the others also encountered some awake kobolds. Facing the aggressive kobolds, Takeru very easily instantly killed them.
Then, looking at the entrance to the third underground level, Takeru didn't think much and directly jumped down, while the others still slowly slid down using the rope.
Compared to the second level, the situation on the third level wasn't much different… it was also very dim. The only difference was the addition of a type of elder kobold, larger in size than ordinary kobolds, who would even command ordinary kobolds to attack Takeru and the others.
However, facing the coordination of the five, they still posed no threat. It was basically a one-sided situation. Even though Takeru didn't lift a finger the whole time, the group resolved the battle within three minutes.
Clearly, compared to before, everyone had grown a great deal.
After successively dealing with three waves of ordinary kobolds led by elder kobolds, Takeru and the others once again arrived at the mine shaft leading to the fourth level...
"How about it, do you want to take a break?" Seeing the slightly panting group, Takeru inquired.
"It's fine!" After exchanging glances, everyone shook their heads and said.
"In that case, you guys can rest first and not take action for the moment," Looking at everyone, Takeru thought for a moment and said.
"Sorry about this..." Hearing Takeru's words, Mio spoke somewhat apologetically.
"No problem. Alright, I'll go down first, then you come down!" Shaking his head, Takeru once again jumped straight down.
The fourth level was vastly different from the first three. Firstly, the brightness… this place looked very bright, and most importantly, it had a lot of vegetation.
Moreover, it was like a town, with some penned special animals and farms.
There were even some very crude buildings, built with bricks.
"Wow, that looks so cute!" As soon as Yui came down here, she noticed the penned special animals not far away, which looked like a cross between a mole and a pig.
"Cute?" Mio and Shihoru looked at the animal before them, completely unable to find any point of cuteness.
While everyone was observing the special animals, Takeru noticed a large number of kobolds not far away.
Suddenly, Yui accidentally touched a special string, causing bells nearby to start ringing continuously.
Clearly, this was how these kobolds alerted themselves to the entry of outsiders.
Soon, kobolds hearing the commotion began searching everywhere and quickly spotted Takeru and the others.
"Awooo!" After discovering Takeru and the group, one kobold loudly howled. Then, a large number of kobolds also started charging towards Takeru's location.
Seeing the numerous and aggressive kobolds, everyone couldn't help but feel a bit tense, gripping their weapons tighter.
Takeru didn't mind at all. He directly jumped into the air. Watching the kobolds rushing over quickly, Takeru rapidly kicked out at them. Soon, two white shockwave slashes swiftly shot from Takeru's legs, directly cutting into the charging kobolds.
The terrifying power even cleanly sliced through the front two rows of kobolds at the waist.
Although the two attacks killed six or seven kobolds, the ones behind didn't die because of it.
Takeru didn't mind, kicking out into the air again. Two more white shockwave slashes shot towards the kobolds, instantly killing all the remaining kobolds.
Seeing Takeru effortlessly slaughter these kobolds like chickens, everyone once again fell silent. They originally thought they had some understanding of Takeru's strength, but now, it seemed they had clearly vastly underestimated Takeru's power.
And what skill was Takeru even using? The five of them were completely clueless. However, one thing everyone was certain of was that this skill was definitely not Takeru's trump card...
"Ui, are you sure this is only his third mission?" Seeing Takeru collecting the loot, Mio couldn't help but quietly confirm with Ui again.
"Yes," Hearing Mio's words, Ui also nodded seriously, then looked at Takeru with eyes full of admiration...
Although they were in the same batch of Reincarnators, Takeru was just different from everyone else. Even though they had experienced the same number of worlds, Takeru's strength had left everyone far behind.
Like when dealing with the abandoned building before, even though Takeru didn't act, having him there made people feel incredibly at ease...
After dealing with the first wave of kobolds, the second wave quickly arrived because the first wave had howled loudly while attacking, so the kobolds in the distance had all noticed.
Faced with their companions' deaths, these kobolds, far from being afraid, instead became even more enraged.
Seeing this, Takeru lightly shook his head. Then, he directly activated his telekinesis. Soon, five daggers or short swords floated in the air.
Then, Takeru pointed his staff at the many kobolds, and the five weapons shot out like arrows from a bow towards the rapidly approaching kobolds...
For a moment, five more kobolds fell. But this wasn't the end… it was the beginning.
Under Takeru's mental control, the five weapons flew out again from the dead kobolds' bodies, then proceeded to slaughter the remaining kobolds...
In less than a minute, the second wave of kobolds was also completely dead.
Soon, Takeru used his telekinesis to collect all the loot.
After resolving the second wave of kobolds, Takeru and the others had some free time. Since the scenery here was relatively nice, Takeru and the group decided to rest here for a while...
