Chapter 113.
Meteor’s Judgment
With Doo-ho’s extermination order.
Whirrrr. Clang clang.
Mechanical sounds echoed unexpectedly.
Bom-i, who had boarded the transport ship, shouted through the loudspeaker.
Master!
-Go far away with Hawkeye and exterminate them, ribbit!
Whoosh—, screech.
As she spoke, the transport ship finished extracting the magic stone from the chest of a Hellhound that lay limp on the ground.
Bom-i’s transport ship was already moving toward the second one.
“…Insane.”
The Hellhound, infected by the futility frequency, was so powerless that even cowardly Bom-i could extract its magic stone.
-Hurry up. Only 1 minute left, ribbit!
Doo-ho and Hawkeye caught on to Bom-i’s intention.
Doo-ho charged forward.
Slash.
The Soulbot pierced through their heads.
[You have gained experience]
[You have gained experience…]
Boom!
Hawkeye, whose specialty was speed, leaped unexpectedly high into the sky.
Whoosh whoosh. Whoosh whoosh!
Arrows rained down toward the ground below.
Thanks to recently equipping rapid-fire auxiliary parts, the firing rate had become significantly faster.
-My body is responding as I will it. This is manageable.
Meanwhile, the short Isto.
Tap tap. Thud! Clang.
Was kicking and finishing off Hellhounds lying listlessly on the ground.
[You have gained experience]
[Level up!]
For some reason, I, the tank, looked the most pathetic in this situation.
-Something feels wrong about this.
Surely, as a demonic beast!
-Shouldn’t it be charging at the tank!
It was then, as Isto guarded near Bom-i and kicked away any creatures that squirmed nearby, sending them to their end.
-10 seconds remaining.
Nine, eight, seven….
As Meteor counted down, Hawkeye finally burst out in frustration.
-You bastard! Why do you only work hard at times like this!
An arrow of fury streaks through the air, piercing the head of the Hellhound that had lifted its gaze.
And then….
-It’s over.
That was the exact moment.
One of the Hellhounds sprawled across the floor suddenly lurched to its feet.
Grrrrrowl!
Surveying its comrades who had been vanquished so pathetically, dark crimson flames churned within its maw.
It immediately bolted toward Bom-i’s transport ship with reckless abandon.
Whoooosh—.
Hawkeye, realizing the danger too late, frantically unleashed arrows of light.
Whizzzz.
Remarkably, the Hellhound twisted its body and let the arrows slip past, continuing its charge undeterred.
Watching this, Doo-ho understood that the Hellhound was no ordinary beast.
‘So the Hunter Gallery saying—one Hellhound per party—wasn’t mere exaggeration!’
Squelch!
My Soul Bot extended outward, driving its blade deep into the creature’s hind legs.
Screech!
The Hellhound’s body convulsed violently.
Yet it pressed forward even more savagely. Just as it was about to crash down upon Bom-i’s transport ship with gaping jaws.
Crack!
Isto launched himself from the ground, headbutting the Hellhound’s skull with tremendous force.
Boom!
The Hellhound’s body twisted sharply to the side, slamming hard into the floor.
And then.
[You have obtained experience points]
Another System Message appeared immediately after.

[Main Quest Complete]
Reward: Dew Crystal
A cluster of light converged before Doo-ho, and a water bottle materialized.
Plop.
I caught it quickly—it looked like ordinary water.
As Doo-ho placed the water bottle in the Garage and turned around, Isto stood before Bom-i’s transport ship.
A moment of silence.
In the cockpit, Bom-i trembled with webbed hands wrapped around her head.
Tap tap.
At the sound of something knocking, Bom-i lifted her head.
Isto’s figure appeared on the cockpit screen.
-Little frog, are you alright?
-….
Tap tap.
Isto knocked again.
Only then did Bom-i respond.
-Th…thank you, croak.
At the unexpected reply, Isto’s LED eyes blinked once. Then he gave a thumbs up toward Bom-i’s transport ship.
-Today’s VIP is the little frog! Hehehehe~.
The three who had been staring blankly at the cheerfully laughing Isto all thought the same thing simultaneously.
‘That’s what they call MVP.’
And Hawkeye gave Isto a thumbs up in return.
-You really are thick-skulled.
-I have one head, sir.
Hehehehe, hahaha, hehehehe, ribbit ribbit.
As they were all laughing together.
A Hidden Quest appeared before Doo-ho.

[Hidden Quest Triggered!]
◈ Annihilate the Cerberus of Hell (0/1)
Reward: Buoyant Stone
Accept / Decline
Everyone gathered around to examine the details.
Complaints about the reward erupted from the group, but Doo-ho’s thoughts were different.
‘The greatest reward of a Hidden Quest is a floor reprieve.’
It meant Seoul’s safety was guaranteed.
I could check the secondary rewards after clearing it.
So then….
“Accept.”
Doo-ho immediately looked up at the sky.
“Meteor.”
-….
“Meteor?”
Only then did a sluggish voice respond.
-…Why though.
“Your voice sounds weak. Don’t tell me even using Void Frequency puts you on cooldown?”
-Because I worked, you see.
“So how long do you need to rest?”
-30 minutes, you see.
“Then, let’s meet up when we face the Cerberus.”
The moment Doo-ho was about to move, Meteor made a suggestion for the first time.
-Master, what if we try dropping a meteor in a little while?
“Out of the blue?”
Ribbit!
Bom-i interjected with puffed cheeks.
-Meteor buddy, are you trying to throw that and then rest for three weeks, ribbit?
-Even so, communication should be possible like now, you see.
It seemed dormancy didn’t mean complete sleep.
Doo-ho nodded.
“I’ll consider it.”
-Master, ribbit?
“If I don’t use it myself, I won’t get a feel for how to apply it in the future, right?”
-I see, ribbit.
Doo-ho, who was about to move to the next location, stopped.
Wait a moment.
If communication is possible even during dormancy….
“If I use Meteor Drop, I can still use Void Frequency during the dormancy period, can’t I?”
-…!
“Frequency is a form of communication too, and you just said communication was possible a moment ago.”
-….
“Hey~ Meteor.”
Eventually, Meteor answered in a reluctant, dragging voice.
-I gueeess….
“Good. Then I’ll see you when we deal with Cerberus.”
-…Understood.
Brat.
Where did you think you were going with that nonsense?
And here I am, supposedly a Necromancer.
* * *
Isto and Bom-i entered the Garage.
Doo-ho followed Hawkeye toward the location where the large red dot had been.
The entire way, waves of heat surged up from beneath the earth. Had Hawkeye not guided the path ahead, I would have been injured several times over.
‘A Ranger truly is different.’
Wow….
As I looked up ahead, an exclamation escaped me involuntarily.
What unfolded before my eyes was a colossal Basalt Mountain.
Darkened, cooled stones were stacked in layers, rising upward, with crimson heat shimmering like heat haze in places throughout.
But more than that.
“There’s a space inside this?”
-That appears to be the entrance over there.
I shifted my gaze to where Hawkeye was pointing.
There, bright red magma churned violently. Above it, cooled stones stacked layer upon layer, only to melt away again in an endless cycle.
‘Can that really be called an entrance?’
One thing was certain.
That phenomenon had made that particular section unusually thin.
Then Isto emerged from the Garage.
Doo-ho!
-At last, the moment to reveal my true worth has come!
I called out to Isto, who was spinning his arms in circles as he headed toward the entrance.
Then I pulled out the Dew Crystal we’d received as a reward from the Garage earlier and handed it to him.
“Go spray this.”
-Huh?
-Be careful—it might shatter from the cold.
Pitter-patter.
Isto walked toward the entrance, his LED eyes now forming question marks.
-Should I just spray it?
“Yeah!”
The creature opened the bottle cap and splashed the water across in a swift motion.
But.
Sizzle—
The water turned to steam before it could even touch the entrance of the problem.
Huh?
Uh… hmm. Croak?
An involuntary sound escaped me.
No one was more bewildered than Doo-ho himself.
But then…
Isto!
“Your hand! Look at your hand!”
-Huh?
Isto’s LED eyes widened into perfect circles as he looked down at his hand.
-What is this?!
The empty bottle began to glow with a cyan light, and water started filling it.
‘Could there be a specific way to use it?’
“Isto, tilt it!”
-Like this?!
In that very instant.
Water poured from the bottle, and it began emitting an even more intense blue light.
Simultaneously, a powerful stream of water gushed forth from the bottle.
Whoa!
-Ice is mixed in with it, it’s crazy!
Doo-ho shouted.
“Spray it at the entrance!”
Whoooosh!
A fierce torrent of water surged toward the center of the entrance, which was filled with scorching heat.
And then.
Boom—crash!
The moment the searing heat and frigid water collided, the magma blocking the entrance expanded with a deafening roar and burst open in an instant.
-Whoa! What, what is happening?!
A moment later.
As the thick heat dissipated, the interior was revealed.
“It’s open.”
The entrance that had been scorching hot just moments before had cooled as if by magic.
* * *
As we stepped inside.
A low, heavy growl echoed from within.
The three of us looked ahead.
There, crouched in the darkness, was an enormous three-headed beast.
A massive three-headed fighting dog was crouched there.
Doo-ho’s entire body bristled with goosebumps at the mere sight of it.
From three maws, scorching breath simultaneously poured forth.
Splat.
When a drop of saliva from one of them fell to the ground—
Ssssshhh.
The floor melted and corroded.
The most terrifying three-headed hound he’d encountered yet.
Doo-ho reached into the Garage.
Clink.
What he withdrew was a Gigantification Necklace.
‘So this is where I use it.’
The weight class disparity between Isto and the three-headed hound was simply too severe.
No matter how formidable Isto was, facing such a colossal beast would prove troublesome.
Isto’s LED eyes widened dramatically upon seeing the necklace.
Oh!
-Is this the hidden reward from the 8th Floor?
“Let’s use this.”
-Huh?
Doo-ho fastened the necklace around Isto’s arm like a bracelet.
Click.
In that instant, a system window materialized before Doo-ho.
[Gigantification will now activate]
[Duration decreases proportionally with size]
[Cooldown time is one day]
Doo-ho rapidly assessed the three-headed hound’s dimensions.
“Ten meters.”

[10 meters can be sustained for 30 seconds]
Accept / Modify / Cancel
“30 seconds feels short. Should I reduce the size?”
-No way!
Isto clenched his fist.
-Let’s go big and bold!
Doo-ho turned his gaze to Hawkeye before accepting.
“You harass Cerberus relentlessly with invisibility.”
-Of course, Necromancer.
‘It’s better to gauge Cerberus’s strength first, then test Meteor’s meteorite.’
Doo-ho accepted the gigantification.
Whoooosh.
At the same moment, Isto’s body swelled to enormous proportions.
Ooooooooo!
-I’m getting taller!
Firework effects exploded wildly across his LED eyes.
Though his limbs remained stubbornly short regardless.
‘He really seems to love this.’
Thud.
Isto strode forward, wiggling his fingers.
-Happy, come here and lie down!
Then.
Whoosh!
Hawkeye’s light arrow, cloaked in invisibility, pierced straight into one of Cerberus’s heads.
Shrieeeek!
The wound that had opened sealed itself shut as Cerberus howled.
Doo-ho swallowed hard.
‘Regeneration is practically cheating, isn’t it?’
Boom boom boom
Isto charged forward head-on.
His colossal fist smashed into one of Cerberus’s heads.
Splurch!
The skull burst sideways, spraying blood and flesh fragments in all directions.
But.
Crunch crunch!
The remaining head latched onto Isto’s arm, biting down savagely.
Another head breathed flames directly at Isto’s face.
-Hey, that’s dirty!
Boom!
Cerberus’s massive body finally knocked Isto off his feet.
The interior shook violently as dust cascaded from the ceiling, and the ground beneath their feet trembled chaotically.
Doo-ho and Hawkeye were barely managing to keep their balance.
And then.
Writhe.
Writhe.
The flesh from the head that Isto had blown away moments ago convulsed.
Crack, crunch.
Crushed bone and tissue pressed outward, reforming the head’s shape once more.
ROOOAAARRR!!
The three-headed hound threw its head back and roared.
Startled, Doo-ho quickly gazed into empty space and spoke.
“Meteor!”
-Why, yesss.
“It’s been over 30 minutes.”
-It has, yesss.
That was when it happened.
Boom, boom.
Crash crash crash.
The three-headed hound and Isto were locked in a furious melee.
‘Good heavens. This is a disaster.’
That was when Meteor asked.
-How many magic stones will you use to throw the meteorite, yesss.
“The base size is 10 magic stones for 30 meters, right?”
-5 additional meters per 5 stones, and the cooldown increases by one day each time, yesss.
No matter how urgent the situation, this calculation mattered.
“Use 70 magic stones.”
-That’s 14 more days of cooldown. Are you sure, yesss.
Watching the three-headed hound’s savage form, Doo-ho tensed and shook his head.
A basic 30-meter meteorite?
That was laughable.
‘Any meteorite under 50 meters will burn up in the atmosphere before hitting the ground.’
So let’s go bigger to be sure.
“100 magic stones!”
* * *
Meteor drifted slowly through the cosmic void.
Beneath its colossal form, only a portion of the planet glowed red.
The rest of the vast space had been hollowed out, as if someone had carved it away in a perfect circle.
That was when.
“Let’s go bigger to be sure. 100 magic stones!”
Lim Doo-ho’s voice echoed across the cosmic expanse.
In truth, sound shouldn’t exist in the vacuum of space.
But Meteor heard it with perfect clarity.
-Understood.
Uuuuung.
The massive ring attached to Meteor’s side resonated with a low hum. Moments later, the mana stones flowing through the Garage were sucked into the main body.
Crunch.
Crunch, crunch-crunch!
Each time a mana stone shattered into fragments, luminous energy began accumulating around Meteor’s enormous ring.
Meteor spoke slowly.
-This master certainly has a sharp mind.
Everyone else failed on their first attempt.
Whoooosh.
The ring, folded in countless layers, unfurled like an accordion.
Light converged inward toward the ring’s interior.
Crackle.
Crackle-snap!
Sparks scattered in all directions.
The light swept across Meteor’s main body before dispersing into the pitch-black void.
And then.
Whoosh───pop!!
A portion of gray meteorite became visible inside the ring.
Uuuuung—!
More of the gray meteorite emerged.
Black dust and stone fragments scattered in all directions across its rough surface.
-For this first activation, I’m going down an extra 150 meters.
At those words, Doo-ho’s voice rang out loudly.
“Wait, why?!”
-First activation service.
Grooooan….
The massive gray meteorite was pushed out beyond the ring and began plummeting toward the planet.
* * *
Wait….
What do you mean first activation?
That’s when it happened.
[Gigantification will end shortly]
Seeing the system message, Doo-ho shouted urgently.
Isto!
“Get back to the Garage as soon as gigantification ends!
At those words, the other two heads of the three-headed hound lunged from left and right, tearing at Isto.
Each time the massive bodies collided, the interior shook violently as if possessed.
-No way! This is worth a shot!
Doo-ho bellowed at the top of his lungs.
“The meteor’s coming down!!”
In that instant
Isto’s LED eyes narrowed into sharp slits.
-Happy guy, your antics end here.
Then Meteor’s warning reached us.
-The meteor’s falling now.
The moment those words left Meteor’s mouth, Isto extended both arms and shoved the three-headed hound’s massive body backward.
Boom—!
Losing its balance, the colossal beast’s frame twisted and crashed violently against the rocky cliff face.
Isto’s body rapidly shrinking in that same instant.
Hawkeye didn’t miss the opening, dropping invisibility and rushing in at full speed.
-Iron skull!
-Huh?
Snap.
Hawkeye returned to Doo-ho’s side with Isto tucked under one arm.
Grrrrrrrrgh!
The instant all three of the hound’s heads erupted in flames simultaneously.
Doo-ho’s party frantically shoved themselves into the Garage.
With Meteor still outside, time continued to flow.
Doo-ho immediately placed the monitoring device on the workbench.
“Hey, can’t you show us what’s happening out there?”
-Hibernation mode…
“But we can still communicate.”
-You’re quite the demanding master.
With those words, the external view appeared on the monitor’s magnified display.
A single dot was visible against the black sky.
Trailing thick plumes of fire and smoke, a colossal meteor descended.
Doo-ho’s jaw dropped involuntarily.
Good heavens.
‘This is actually working?’
Kuuuuuuoom….
A deafening roar that the monitor’s speaker couldn’t fully capture erupted, followed by a blinding white flash that consumed everything in sight.
And then.

[Hidden Quest Complete!]
Reward: Floating Stone
The system window appeared immediately after.

[World Announcement]
South Korea Abyss 8th Floor Annihilation Reprieve
※ Meteor of Judgment
A moment of silence fell.
Doo-ho still stood with his mouth half-open.
Gulp.
Doo-ho swallowed the saliva trickling down and muttered.
“…This is insane.”
