After all, the monsters on the ghost ship seemed to regenerate. Killing them gave basically no experience and was very difficult. It was better to just evacuate and leave it to others.
Since Takeru was here, there wouldn't be any problems.
"They're leaving the ghost ship!" As Motoyasu withdrew, everyone noticed immediately.
Takeru glanced over but didn't care much. Seeing that the ghost ship seemed to have lost its target and was preparing to attack some knights, Takeru activated his Telekinesis Field.
Powerful telekinesis bound it in the air, preventing it from moving an inch. Even the skeleton captain and sea monsters on the ship could only stand frozen in place, unable to move.
As for Itsuki below, seeing the ghost ship completely frozen, he was about to attack the statue on the ship's bow. However, he found his attacks stopped by a transparent barrier just before reaching the ship.
It should be noted that Takeru hadn't only bound it. He had also used telekinesis to form a protective barrier around it.
Although the telekinesis barrier wasn't among the strongest of Takeru's defensive skills, compared to Motoyasu and Itsuki, they absolutely couldn't break it.
After handling everything, Takeru continued to monitor everyone's battles.
If a squad truly encountered danger, Takeru would secretly intervene. For example, from the beginning, although Takeru seemed to be lazing around, he had secretly released three lightning strikes to kill some monsters.
Takeru's level had also long since increased from 94 to 97. Because of the active performances of Raphtalia, Rifana, Filo, Via, Keel, and others, even though he had been sitting here the whole time, Takeru's experience points were growing very quickly.
While enjoying the food, Takeru also chatted curiously with Yui. She told him what she and Mio had been up to recently.
Upon first entering this world, they had also chosen their weapons. After choosing, she and Mio appeared simultaneously in Glass's world.
Because they appeared together, without much thought, they decided to act together. They thought they were the only two Reincarnators in this world.
As Vassal Heroes, they received friendly treatment. Soon after, they met Glass, L'arc Berg, and Therese Alexandrite. The five of them travelled together, leveling up and fighting in that world, also opposing the waves together.
Of course, many things in that world were unreasonable. So, during their travels, they also solved many problems and helped many people.
"And you, Takeru?" After finishing her own story, Yui asked Takeru curiously.
"Me? This world is much more interesting. The country that summoned me is called the Kingdom of Melromarc. However, the king and princess there had some problems. They believed in an evil cult called the Three Heroes Church. Then, they started rejecting and framing the Shield Hero."
"Later, I couldn't stand it, so I exposed the kingdom. Also, performing outstandingly during the wave, I was elected by a group of people to become the new king. Then, I started reforming and rectifying the country." Hearing Yui's words, Takeru said calmly with a smile.
"So, Takeru, you're a king now?" Hearing Takeru's words, Yui looked at him in surprise, then exclaimed.
"Exactly." Hearing Yui's words, Takeru nodded gently.
As for Glass, hearing Takeru's words, she was very clear that Takeru becoming king was definitely not as simple as he made it sound. He probably had used quite a few special means in the process.
The only thing that puzzled her was why Takeru had gone to such trouble to become a king, 'Was he preparing to stay in this world after the waves ended? But according to Yui, Takeru was supposed to be even more powerful in his own world...'
Also, his special means surprised her. After all, Esdeath and Beatrice were clearly not Heroes, and they seemed familiar with Yui, so they definitely weren't from this world. Yet Takeru had methods to bring them here.
Although deeply puzzled, Glass was smart enough not to ask too many questions.
On the contrary, she was very grateful to Takeru for providing her with information about Kizuna.
As they chatted, another half hour passed. At that moment, Filo came to Takeru's side.
"Ah, Master and Betty are so sneaky, lazing around and eating here!" Arriving, Filo spoke directly to Takeru.
"Wow, so cute! And she can talk! What's her name?" Seeing Filo, Yui said excitedly.
"I'm Filo!" Hearing Yui praise her as cute, Filo smiled and transformed back into her human form.
"Filo-chan? You can even transform? Amazing!" Seeing Filo transform, Yui excitedly came to Filo's side and kept patting her head.
Then, Filo started playing with Yui, even enjoying being fed by her. With Yui feeding her, Filo forgot all about Takeru and Beatrice lazing around.
In the blink of an eye, another hour passed. Filo then returned to the battlefield, replacing Raphtalia and Rifana.
Feeling the aura emanating from Raphtalia and Rifana, Glass was somewhat surprised.
She knew very clearly that they were no ordinary opponents. Perhaps even going all out, she would have difficulty defeating them.
Yui didn't think about it too much. She just chatted and laughed with them. She never tired of good-hearted friends.
After a brief introduction, everyone sat together talking. When the time was about right, the two went back to leveling. Seeing them work so hard made the lazy Yui feel a bit embarrassed.
Soon, as the wave's duration reached over five hours, seeing the many knights very exhausted, Takeru felt it was about time.
"Hey, Yui, it might be a while before we meet again. Here, take this." Looking at Yui, Takeru directly took out a large amount of food. Because it was grown in this world, it didn't require points to manifest. Only taking it back to the main world would cost points.
"Can you really give me this?" Seeing the large amount of food, Yui exclaimed excitedly.
"Of course. Some of it is for Mio too. Work hard when you get back. Now, I'm going to completely end this wave." As he spoke, Takeru instantly teleported onto the bound ghost ship.
Looking at the completely immobilized skeleton captain and sea monsters, he first used a simple Light spell, then struck their shadows with several lightning bolts. Then, a large number of Soul Eaters emerged from the shadows.
Then, before everyone's eyes, all the Soul Eaters gathered together, directly transforming into a special fish monster. This was the wave's final boss, the Dimensional Soul Eater.
The moment the Dimensional Soul Eater appeared, it opened its mouth wide and charged at Takeru, trying to swallow him whole.
Seeing this, Takeru's gaze focused. Then, just as it got close, he punched out.
Boom!
A loud explosion sounded. Everyone only saw a dazzling flash of light.
When they came back to their senses, they noticed the light came from above the ghost ship. Instantly understanding, they cheered for Takeru.
"Phew, Takeru finally acted. But leveling up six times in over five hours was pretty good too." Looking at his own level increase, Naofumi showed a slight smile.
Over at the ghost ship, with Takeru's energy-charged punch, the Dimensional Soul Eater suffered a deadly blow. Its entire body went limp. Its sharp teeth scattered on the ground. Then, Takeru directly collected the completely dead Dimensional Soul Eater into his item bar.
At that moment, another Dimensional Soul Eater emerged from below the ship's hull. Seeing this, Takeru wasn't surprised at all.
He had already detected earlier that the gathered Soul Eaters were only half of those on the ghost ship. The remaining half had gathered to form this one.
"Intermediate Hurricane!" The nascent Dimensional Soul Eater, just as it emerged, was attacked by an excitedly rushing Filo. A powerful tornado quickly appeared, completely fixing the Dimensional Soul Eater in the middle of the ship's hull.
Then, two flashes of light passed simultaneously.
As two figures appeared, the Dimensional Soul Eater was cut into three segments. The ones who had just attacked were, naturally, Raphtalia and Rifana.
With the death of the second Dimensional Soul Eater, the monsters on the ground and in the sky quickly disappeared. The ship also seemed to lose its special abilities, becoming an ordinary large vessel.
Yui and Glass, on top of the cliff, also jumped down onto the large ship.
"Goodbye, Takeru." Feeling themselves also being drawn by a special force, Yui waved to Takeru with some reluctance.
"Yes, goodbye. Give my regards to Mio." Hearing her words, Takeru said with a smile.
"I will." Shouting loudly, Yui and Glass floated into the air, finally turning into light and disappearing from the spot.
With their disappearance, the ominous colored vortex and red fog in the sky also quickly dissipated.
