Chapter 86: Epic-Grade Doll Acquired!
Ever since the forced contract was signed, she had remained mostly silent.
There was no point in resisting, so she decided to just go along with whatever was commanded.
However, after the destiny quest was triggered and she began to gradually consume the Demon King’s blood, Jorogumo started to slightly change her view of the person controlling her.
At least, by staying with this guy, she could get something to eat.
Dodging the pouncing attacks of several potfish monsters, she skillfully maneuvered her flexible body, and every time she struck with her spider blades, a shrill scream echoed from the enemy’s gaping fish mouths.
**Bone Corrosion:** Any attack penetrates deep into the bone, ignoring 20% of the target’s defense, and doubles the sensation of pain.
A perfect tool for tormenting enemies. And with the Onmyoji not around today, she could fully vent her pent-up negative emotions.
Her spider silk scattered like a fishing net, affecting every potfish monster that tried to leap toward her.
With her sharp spider blades in hand, Jorogumo started harvesting the filthy creatures one by one.
At that moment, she felt a familiar soul presence—Fang Bo had ventured deep into the cave.
She cursed under her breath, and her eyes clouded over, her expression turning dull and lifeless.
Jorogumo still hadn’t forgiven the rough treatment from that day, when both her soul and body were ravaged by this man—an experience she would never forget.
Expect her to actively cooperate?
He could wait until the destiny quest was complete; otherwise, everything would just be empty words.
[Potfish Monster (Parasitic)]
[Attack Tendency: Strong]
[Attribute Focus: Perception]
[Trait: Fast Crawler]
[Threat Level: Extremely Weak]
“A threat level of ‘extremely weak’ means their attributes are probably just over ten points.”
If the timing was right, it might be possible to use Jorogumo’s ultimate skill for a wide-range attack.
Leaping to the shikigami’s side, Fang Bo lightly shook his wrist, and a small hypnotic device that had been tied there slid down immediately.
A large group of potfish monsters were now focused on him, making this the perfect time to cast a group hypnosis spell.
“Sleep, sleep, sleep!”
Several of the fastest potfish monsters had already lunged toward him, but just as they opened their gaping mouths, their bodies collapsed helplessly to the ground.
Taking a moment amidst the action, Fang Bo glanced at his remaining spiritual energy and was satisfied with the hypnosis spell’s efficiency.
**Spirit: 25/27**
No matter how many enemies there were, each hypnosis spell consumed only 2 points of spiritual energy.
One enemy, ten enemies, a hundred—it didn’t matter. Of course, the more there were, the greater the chance some might escape the effect.
Just like the few potfish monsters at the front, which had managed to resist the hypnosis spell due to their perceptual abilities.
Thanks to his study of illusion techniques, Fang Bo’s hypnosis spell was now equivalent to a level 3 ability.
Otherwise, many more of the potfish monsters would have remained unaffected.
“Take out as many as you can, Jorogumo!”
Upon hearing her master’s command, she immediately unleashed her most powerful move, *Devour Heart and Consume Marrow.*
**Devour Heart and Consume Marrow:** D-rank, releases small spiders that gnaw at the target, with a chance to cause 5 seconds of dizziness. Cooldown time: 300 seconds.
Each spider consumed 2 points of spiritual energy. To ensure they all hit their targets, Jorogumo had to release a large number of small spiders all at once.
The luckier enemies would only suffer from gnawing and dizziness, while the less fortunate ones would have their ceramic pots struck, triggering a fatal blow.
Seeing the enemies fall in droves, Fang Bo smiled to himself. He was far beyond the level where these lowly creatures could pose any threat.
*Bang!*
A single shot took down the potfish monster in front of him. Then, he summoned the headless doll and leaped into the fray, slashing away at the remaining enemies.
By the time the potfish monsters had fully regained consciousness, half of them had already died by Fang Bo’s hand.
“The kill rate is still a bit slow,” he muttered, then unleashed his giant summoning technique.
The three giant brothers charged in, engaging the enemies in brutal combat, while Fang Bo remained at the rear, controlling the doll to fight.
If he had some more powerful skills in his arsenal, this battle would end more quickly.
He briefly considered summoning another creature, but Fang Bo found himself wavering slightly.
Sometimes, when watching others unleash a single powerful skill to obliterate a boss, he couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy.
If he could master something like *Heat Drive* or *Black Flash*, his kill efficiency would soar.
“The problem is the high spiritual energy consumption. My endurance will inevitably weaken.”
Watching a group of potfish monsters surround him, Fang Bo concentrated, activating his battle sense.
With his *Ammo Master* skill activated, he threw out a shot without looking back.
The armor-piercing bullet blew apart an enemy sneaking up behind him. He then bent low, dodging the massive jaws lunging at him from the left.
Though his movements were graceful, perfectly reading the enemy’s intentions, his agility stat was still too low.
A potfish monster attacking from the right was something he simply couldn’t avoid.
Fortunately, his companion, Little Lick, moved with lightning speed and slammed the enemy away just in time.
For Fang Bo, his battle sense could even be used to control his summoned creatures. At least his initial experiment had proven successful.
With his doll back at his side and the three giant brothers providing cover, Fang Bo managed to eliminate all the potfish monsters without sustaining any injuries.
Of course, these weren’t all of them—he could still sense many more lurking around. They were all creations of Upper Moon Five.
“Now I understand how Gyokko found Swordsmith Village.”
Once the potfish monsters found the cave’s exit, the two Upper Moons could invade the village in an instant.
After a moment of thought, Fang Bo came up with a plan.
Retrieving Kotetsu’s grandfather’s notes, he quickly retreated from the cave, following the path he had taken earlier.
Luckily, the area was large, and he encountered no further resistance—those monsters clearly hadn’t found the exit yet.
“Mission accomplished.” Hearing the system prompt in his ear, Fang Bo smiled in satisfaction.
[Side Quest: Lost Art (Completed)]
[You have earned the right to study the notes.]
“You can take a look first, and then we can start repairing the doll together,” Kotetsu said excitedly.
After helping him retrieve his grandfather’s techniques, the boy’s attitude had become much more respectful.
Telling him to wait a moment, Fang Bo summoned his crow and quickly relayed the message that the Upper Moons were planning an attack on Swordsmith Village.
The sight of the adorable little crow delivering such a serious message startled even Kotetsu, who dropped the repair materials he was holding.
“Shouldn’t we hide somewhere?!” he asked in a panic.
“It’s too late.” Watching the crow fly away, Fang Bo turned to him with a grave expression. “The attack is already happening. From here on out, we have to fight with all our might and slay the demons.”
Upon hearing this, Kotetsu seemed to make up his mind, closing his eyes and shouting, “Alright, for everyone’s safety, I agree to sell you the doll!”
Sell?!
Catching Fang Bo’s odd look, Kotetsu confidently added, “Of course, even if I have my grandfather’s techniques, I’ll still need a lot of materials to craft a new doll. How can I do that without money?”
Well, he had a point. Fang Bo knew acquiring an epic-grade doll wouldn’t be easy.
First, he had to have the privilege of being a Pillar—without it, he wouldn’t have even had the chance to touch Yoriichi Type Zero.
Second, he needed to understand how to control dolls; otherwise, Kotetsu wouldn’t have trusted him enough to hand it over.
To finally acquire the purchase rights, you must first complete the mission.
For any other reincarnator, they’d likely run themselves ragged without ever finishing the series of tasks.
[Story character Kotetsu is requesting 2000 story points from you. Do you accept?]
“Damn, this kid is such a swindler,” Fang Bo muttered with an annoyed expression, silently confirming the request.
With his newly acquired Yoriichi Type Zero, the first thing Fang Bo did was equip it with the Crimson Nichirin Blade.
[Name: Crimson Nichirin Blade]
[Grade: Epic ]
[Category: Weapon]
[Attack Power: 8-10 ]
[Durability: 80/80]
[Attribute Boost: Strength +2, Agility +2]
[Usage Requirement: Strength 14]
[Equipment Effect: Demon Slayer]
[Origin: *Demon Slayer*]
[Equipment Evaluation: No demon can escape its judgment.]
[Demon Slayer (Passive Skill): +20% critical damage to demon-type creatures, +100% fatal damage.]
This was a special reward from the Blue Spider Lily, a weapon specifically designed to deal massive damage to demon-type creatures.
It was the perfect decapitating tool, not to mention that its base attack power was quite formidable.
If he could gather six epic-grade weapons and equip Yoriichi Type Zero with them, he could slice through even Upper Moons, and Muzan wouldn’t stand a chance.
Ending his unrealistic daydreaming, Fang Bo refocused on the task at hand.
Looking at his newly learned skill, *Puppet Making and Repair LV1*, the next step was to fully repair Yoriichi Type Zero.
“Oh right, make sure to find me five blades. We can’t fight with training wooden swords.”
“Got it.”
Kotetsu agreed readily, but then…
[Story character Kotetsu is requesting 500 story points from you. Do you accept?]
“Damn it, more money? How can a kid this young be so ruthless?!”
With an irritated face, Fang Bo begrudgingly handed over another 500 story points.
**Story Points Remaining: 810**
Seeing his remaining reward points, he knew he was back to living frugally again.
Luckily, the kid hadn’t completely gone black-hearted—he didn’t charge Fang Bo for the materials needed to repair the puppet. Otherwise, Fang Bo would really be begging on the streets.
Two novice puppet makers squatted down, painstakingly working on Yoriichi Type Zero.
“Here, here.”
“Replace this part.”
“This section is damaged; you’ll need to apply some lubricant.”
“Hmm, it seems like we need to replace an arm.”
After tireless effort and careful study, Yoriichi Type Zero finally looked as good as new, with even its facial features restored.
Just standing in front of Muzan like this, even the mighty Demon King would probably turn around and flee.
**Durability: 320/320**
“Perfect, it’s finally done,” Fang Bo said, deeply satisfied.
To get this thing, he had nearly drained all his resources. The next step would be testing it in battle.
In terms of base performance, Yoriichi Type Zero wasn’t drastically stronger than the headless puppet, so he would have to be extra careful when controlling it.
Its greatest strength, of course, lay in the six mechanical arms on either side of its body.
The damage dealt by swinging six weapons simultaneously would undoubtedly be immense, and Fang Bo eagerly awaited that moment.
“Oh, right.” Kotetsu scratched his head and suddenly dropped a bombshell: “I forgot to mention—the entrance to the cave isn’t here.”
