Soon, everyone began to act separately.
Millianna brought Takeshi to the floor he was responsible for.
As soon as they arrived, they didn't need to search, the opponent had already come to them.
"So many people!"
Millianna was startled by the sheer number of opponents. Her magic was actually quite average, primarily functional. Once bound by her magic, one couldn't use magic. It was very effective for one-on-one combat or sneak attacks. However, against so many people, her magic had little effect.
Full Body Takeover: Ace!
Takeshi transformed into Ace. Ace was a purple card, consuming much less energy than a gold card. Ace's Logia-type Flame-Flame Fruit was very strong, most suitable for dealing with these cannon fodder.
"Kill him!!"
"Jellal said that whoever kills him will get 100 million!"
"Charge!"
Numerous guards rushed at Takeshi. These were all forces Jellal had secretly nurtured over the years, many operating as Dark Guilds. This time, to deal with Takeshi, he naturally brought out all his assets and promised these people a high reward.
Fire Fist!
Takeshi's arm transformed into a giant flame of super-high temperature, then the flame quickly swept past these guards.
"Ahhhhh!"
Everyone screamed as they were sent flying, then fell to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, all the numerous guards on this floor were cleared by Takeshi.
"So... so powerful!"
Although Millianna had already witnessed Takeshi's terrifying strength, seeing him so easily dispatch these people still made her exclaim in admiration.
Takeshi raised his hand and gripped the iron cage, and the scorching flames immediately melted it.
"Millianna?"
"What's going on?!"
"Why did Jellal lock us up?"
Everyone in the iron cage was in a panic. Seeing their acquaintance Millianna, they quickly asked.
Millianna said, "Everyone has been deceived by Jellal. Eight years ago, Jellal betrayed us, not Erza. Now that the Tower of Heaven is built, Jellal wants to eliminate the evidence, so he wants to kill us."
"What?!"
"How could this be?!"
Everyone present was incredulous upon hearing Millianna's words, but the facts were already before them, leaving them no choice but to believe.
"Damn it! What was all our work for him these past years?!"
"Alright, everyone, hurry and leave, it's very dangerous."
Everyone knew that staying here wouldn't help and they would only be a burden, so they all quickly left after bidding farewell to Millianna.
At this time, similar things were happening on other floors. Compared to strangers like Takeshi, they were more willing to trust familiar people like Simon.
Soon, Takeshi arrived at the next floor he was responsible for.
He unleashed another Fire Fist, incapacitating most of the guards, and easily dealt with the remaining few.
He quickly swept through half of the floors he was responsible for, and he also noticed that the higher up he went, the stronger the guards became, which made him spend a little more effort.
"Hey! Have you seen enough?"
Suddenly, Takeshi spoke, "You've been following for several floors now, aren't you going to make a move?"
"What?"
Millianna was a little confused, not knowing what Takeshi meant by that.
Just then, a monster with an owl's head and a human body emerged from the corner.
"As expected of the legendary Takeshi. Your notoriety has already spread to our guild. The warrior of justice, Fukuro, will eliminate evil today."
"Just obediently die."
Fukuro crouched down, and what looked like a bazooka-like magical tool on his back began to spray.
Jet-Propulsion!
Fukuro's body rapidly rushed towards Takeshi.
Takeshi raised his palm and calmly chanted, "Mirror Flame."
Whoosh!
Takeshi's palm suddenly spewed out a large sheet of flames, forming a giant wall of fire.
Upon seeing this, Fukuro quickly changed direction, ascending ninety degrees into the air, avoiding crashing into the wall of fire. Then, he quickly rushed down from the air towards Takeshi, raising his foot to kick him.
As Takeshi dodged sideways, his body rapidly rotated, kicking Fukuro in the face.
Fukuro was kicked away, but quickly stopped steadily.
"Oh! He's got something."
Ace's stats weren't top-tier, but they weren't low either. Takeshi didn't expect that after one kick, the opponent could act as if nothing had happened.
"Takeshi, I know your weakness clearly. Your transformation is very powerful, even once defeating Jose of the Ten Wizard Saints, but the stronger your transformation, the more magic power it consumes. So your biggest weakness is magic power."
"Your transformation consumes magic power every moment. Those previous battles must have consumed a lot of your magic power. How much longer can you last now?"
"I just need to keep stalling you, making you consume magic power, and when your magic power is depleted and you are at your weakest, I will attack. That way, I will achieve ultimate victory."
Fukuro looked as if victory was already in his grasp.
Takeshi raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "Oh? You've investigated quite thoroughly. But do you think you can last that long?"
Fukuro patted his chest. "The warrior of justice, Fukuro, will never be defeated by evil."
Full Body Takeover: Gojo Satoru!
Takeshi's body began to rapidly change, and in a blink of an eye, he transformed into Gojo Satoru.
He asked, "Have you seen this form before?"
"Is it a new form? As expected of an evil fellow. The warrior of justice, Fukuro, will not allow you to do evil with a new identity."
The two bazookas on Fukuro's back flew towards Takeshi.
Takeshi didn't move, and the two bazookas just stopped in front of him.
"What's going on?!"
Fukuro was startled and immediately controlled the magical tools to increase their firepower, but no matter how he urged them, the bazookas just couldn't get close to Takeshi.
Cursed Technique Reversal: Blue!
Takeshi raised his hand and touched the two bazookas. The next instant, they rapidly twisted, turning into an iron ball that fell to the ground.
"What?!"
The bazookas turning into an iron ball made Fukuro momentarily stunned.
Bang!
Almost at the same instant the iron ball landed, Takeshi appeared in front of Fukuro.
"Not good!"
Fukuro's face changed drastically, and he immediately prepared to retreat, but it was already too late. Takeshi's fist, imbued with powerful cursed energy, struck his abdomen.
Black Flash!
Bang!
Crack!
Black and red lightning erupted.
"Ahhhhh!"
Fukuro felt an intense pain in his abdomen. Blood splattered from his mouth as he was sent flying backward.
Boom... Boom...
Fukuro's body smashed through several walls, ultimately falling from the Tower of Heaven.
Takeshi said disdainfully, "So much nonsense. I was just trying to save some energy, but now, any random cat or dog dares to come and cause trouble."
