Chapter 125.
Isn’t It Possible?
A ripple.
Doo-ho emerged from the Gate.
A soft rustle.
Looking down, dry grass lay thinly beneath my feet.
Lifting my gaze to survey the surroundings, the snow-capped mountain range stretching far into the distance and the low-hanging white clouds formed a breathtaking vista.
This was exactly what the Tibetan Plateau looked like from those old broadcasts I’d seen.
“Is the 9th Floor a plateau?”
In that moment, a sharp and arid wind swept across.
[Biotic Assimilation Skill activates]
A breath of relief.
I exhaled softly.
“I don’t know what I would’ve done without this skill.”
It was far too useful for that.
Of course, before entering this place, I had already familiarized myself with the 9th Floor’s environment through the Hunter Gallery.
‘The Quest here was Snow Leopard subjugation, wasn’t it?’
They said its appearance resembled a white leopard.
It was powerful enough that solo hunting was impossible.
So after registering as a party through the system, clearing required hunting four to six of them?
Well….
‘I haven’t received the same Quest as regular Hunters since climbing up to this point.’
Still, I had gathered information about what kinds of beasts existed here.
“Bom-i.”
At that moment, Isto and Hawkeye emerged from the Garage, led by Bom-i.
-I was about to head out anyway, ribbit.
Following that, Isto, wearing a headband with a camera attached, surveyed the surroundings.
Wow!
-Doo-ho, sir. This open space is perfect for fighting!
Sigh.
Who could stop Isto’s sensibilities?
Meanwhile, Hawkeye, true to his Ranger nature, calmly observed the surroundings.
-It’s a difficult environment for ambushes, Mechromancer.
“Bom-i and I can always retreat into the Garage if things get dangerous.”
-That’s right. Hehe.
‘Of course, there’s also the third option of ascending into the sky.’
Bom-i had already climbed onto my shoulder.
But the creature tilted its head quizzically.
“What’s wrong?”
Master.
-Don’t move, just stay put, ribbit.
Hop.
The creature leaped high and bounded downward.
Hop, hop. Looking around.
Bom-i wandered the perimeter before coming to a halt.
-Something’s odd, ribbit.
“…?”
Bom-i tilted his head in confusion.
-I can definitely sense two Quests, but one feels strangely blurred, ribbit.
“Blurred?”
-Usually this happens when terrain makes it difficult to reach, but this is a plateau, isn’t it, ribbit.
Then Bom-i pressed his head to the ground, sensing for any presence.
-It’s not underground either, ribbit?
Bom-i lifted his head from the ground.
Puff….
His throat puffed out slightly.
-If it’s like this, I can’t retrieve both simultaneously, what do I do, ribbit?
Just as Doo-ho stepped forward to console the bewildered Bom-i.
-Master, stop, please.
For once, Meteor called out to Doo-ho urgently. Though he was still slow regardless.
Doo-ho’s foot halted.
“What is it now?”
-I was going to let the amphibian find it and then rest, but.
“But?”
-It seems he can’t find it.
At Meteor’s seemingly knowing words, Bom-i raised his head.
-Is there something I’ve missed, ribbit?
-It seems it might be because it’s not a typical location.
“Not a typical location?”
At Doo-ho’s question, Meteor spoke again.
-I can tell because I have an omniscient Meteor perspective….
Before the creature could finish speaking, Bom-i retrieved a transport ship from the Garage.
“Bom?”
-Master, wait, ribbit!
Bom-i hopped into the transport ship.
Whirrrr.
A low vibration resonated once.
Whoosh.
Bom-i’s transport ship lifted off the ground.
What was amusing was how the transport ship’s legs, which had been touching the ground, flailed in the air like a startled puppy.
Doo-ho swallowed the laughter that threatened to escape.
But then.
-Is it dog paddling?
Crack! Ow!
Hawkeye smacking Isto in the head with an arrow.
-Ironhead. You lack camaraderie.
Then he spoke to Doo-ho.
-Isn’t that right, Necromancer sir?
Ouch.
Doo-ho averted his gaze slightly.
‘Hawkeye is too much like a teacher, I’m telling you.’
As the situation gradually stabilized, the transport ship’s legs stopped thrashing about.
.
.
.
Before long, Bom-i’s transport ship had risen about five meters above the ground.
Suddenly Bom-i calls out to Doo-ho.
Master!
-Come up here, ribbit!
‘What on earth is she doing?’
Doo-ho let mana flow slightly through his feet.
Whoosh.
The floating stone trembled softly as my body lifted upward.
Thanks to the practice in the Garage, this time was much easier.
Flutter.
And thanks to flapping with the Soul Bot, I reached Bom-i’s transport ship in no time.
‘This combination isn’t bad at all?’
Then Bom-i speaks.
-Master, you must move exactly as I tell you, ribbit.
Unlike usual, Bom-i was in a state of heightened tension.
Probably because it was her first time ascending into the air, and she had to activate the hidden trigger in a new way.
Doo-ho spoke.
“Bom, don’t push yourself too hard.”
That won’t do!
-Once you’ve drawn the blade, you must cut through anything, ribbit!
Bom-i, brimming with determination, began directing Doo-ho on which way to move.
This time it was Doo-ho who floundered about in the sky.
Rising up a bit, then sliding sideways, then descending again.
‘Ugh, this is trickier than I thought?’
Of course, it did help with flying. It was in that moment when I was following Bom-i’s instructions.
[Hidden Trigger activated]
Two Quest windows materialized before my eyes simultaneously.
Whoosh.
The two windows immediately overlapped and merged into one.
“Huh?”
Not just me, but Bom-i was also visibly startled.
-T-This can’t be right, ribbit?!
Bom-i’s transport vessel trembled slightly in mid-air.
I took a moment to steady myself and examined the system window.
“Bom-i, this is a new window, isn’t it?”

[Hidden Main Quest
◈ Aid the Eagle Tribe (0/1)
Reward: Genesis (Authority)
Accept / Decline
A moment of silence.
Hawkeye leaped onto Bom-i’s transport vessel, carrying Isto on his shoulders.
Oh!
-We flew through the sky too!
-Quiet, you blockhead. That window takes priority right now.
-Tch!
Hawkeye narrowed his scope as he examined the Quest window.
-A Hidden Main Quest, huh….
Isto’s LED eyes widened considerably.
Authority!
-To think it would appear here!
“You know what this is?”
-Genesis is the foundation of the Mechromancer, sir.
“Foundation?”
-Didn’t I tell you when we first met! The Mechromancer is a being who breathes life into machines!
I looked at the Quest window again.
Genesis.
Creation.
The word resonated strangely within my chest.
Everything I’d done so far was merely connecting eyes and ears, arms and legs one by one to make them move.
‘If that authority is what binds them all together….’
I found myself closing my mouth.
Then this wasn’t merely a reward.
It might be the key to showing just how far the Mechromancer class could truly reach.
Doo-ho’s gaze immediately shifted to the Quest details.
Hmm….
“Help the Eagle Tribe?”
A tribe name?
Doo-ho’s eyes narrowed.
No way….
‘It can’t be an eagle owl, right?’
It was a thought that had crossed my mind as a joke, yet something about it felt oddly unsettling.
If it really was a bird of prey like an eagle owl, then I could at least understand why this Quest had caused such a commotion in the sky.
Doo-ho immediately looked up at the sky.
“Meteor. Is the beast you saw in the sky?”
-As expected, Master is sharp.
Oh no.
So it was real.
What bothered me, though.
‘A Quest to help a beast.’
But then again.
This wasn’t the first time I’d helped a beast.
“I helped Black Dragon before, didn’t I?”
Oh!
-That’s right.
-Hmm, that was the day I first met the Necromancer.
“Now that you mention it, that’s true.”
Without further deliberation, I accepted it.
After all, this was the only Quest that had appeared.
At that moment.
Rumble.
Boom!
Lightning struck down from the clear sky to the earth.
“What, what is this?”
Doo-ho turned his head in alarm.
The white clouds that had hung low over the mountain range began to churn and roil violently.
Soon, the center of the clouds opened in a perfect circle, creating a passage.
And at its end.
A pristine white Castle came into view.
Good heavens.
‘Who would ever find something like that?’
Doo-ho muttered while suspended in the air.
“So it really was a hidden main Quest.”
* * *
A moment later.
Bom-i’s transport vessel cut through the cloud corridor, carrying Doo-ho and his companions aboard.
Water droplets obscured the transport’s viewport.
Bom-i’s webbed hands moved frantically across the control panel.
-I can’t see ahead, ribbit.
Then Meteor’s unhurried voice came through.
-Just adjust your heading to one o’clock from here.
-Thanks, ribbit.
Before long, a Castle adorned in white and gold emerged from the mist.
And before it.
Demonic beasts lined the expansive Plaza in neat formation.
Apparently, they had gathered once the clouds parted.
…What?
Doo-ho’s eyes widened as he gazed through the transport’s forward viewport.
Pristine white feathers.
A face resembling an eagle-owl.
Over its body hung armor fitted to its frame, and in one taloned hand it gripped a round shield.
“The Eagle Tribe… were actually eagle-owls?”
The Eagle Tribe warriors arrayed across the Plaza all looked upward in unison.
With those gleaming, round eyes, no less.
Despite being demonic beasts, there was something oddly endearing about their appearance.

Hawkeye narrowed his scope.
-These are proper examiners, Necromancer.
Meaning they’re quite formidable.
Doo-ho swallowed hard.
Just then, Isto’s LED eyes shifted into a straight line.
-Still just sword-wielders at the end of the day.
Uuuung.
The transport ship descended slowly.
The heads of the Eagle Tribe warriors lined up in the Plaza moved in unison, tracking the descending vessel.
Their bodies remained still, only their heads turning.
At the sight, Doo-ho scratched his cheek.
‘That’s kind of cute, actually.’
The transport ship landed in the center of the Plaza.
Screech.
As the hatch opened, Hawkeye descended first.
He swept his narrowed scope across the Plaza.
-For now, they show no signs of hostility, Necromancer.
Only then did Doo-ho emerge from the transport ship.
The gleaming eyes of the Eagle Tribe warriors all turned toward him in unison.
Doo-ho awkwardly raised his hand.
“Uh… hello?”
“Coo, cooo-cooo.”
An Eagle Tribe warrior in the front row bowed his head slightly.
The surrounding Eagle Tribe members followed suit, bowing and making sounds.
“Coo-coo, coo-coo-coo.”
Doo-ho hesitated, momentarily flustered.
‘Wait, we don’t even speak the same language—what am I supposed to do here?’
Then Isto stepped forward.
-Leave it to me, Doo-ho.
“What do you mean?”
Patter-patter.
Isto walked confidently toward the Eagle Tribe warrior.
And then.
-Coo-coo-coo. Coo-coo.
Isto was making the exact same owl calls!
Doo-ho’s mouth fell half-open without thinking.
‘He spoke the Ratkin language before too.’
It works here as well?
The Eagle Tribe warrior blinked his round eyes.
“Coo-coo?”
-Goo goo goo goo.
Isto responded confidently.
He turned his head to look at Doo-ho and conveyed his meaning.
-He’s asking if you’ll come along to catch a snake.
“…A snake?”
A grand mission notification just for catching a mere snake?
…No, that couldn’t be right.
Isto!
“Ask him exactly what kind of snake it is.”
At Doo-ho’s command, Isto posed the question again.
-Goo goo goo, goo.
“Goo─ goo.”
When all Doo-ho’s ears could still register was goo, Isto suddenly spread both his hands wide and spoke.
-A snake this massive with wings, it is.
At those words, Bom-i on Doo-ho’s shoulder began trembling violently.
-C-could you possibly mean Quetzalcoatl, ribbit?
Isto immediately gave a thumbs up.
Oh!
-That’s exactly right, you clever frog!
Doo-ho felt a chill of foreboding as he looked at Bom-i.
“What is that?”
Hawkeye answered instead, narrowing his scope.
-A winged serpent covered entirely in feathers, larger than this Castle itself.
“….”
Ah.
My head suddenly began to throb.
I thought things were finally getting easier.
‘Meteor.’
-Yes, sir.
‘When can you use the meteorite?’
-Still quite a ways off, sir.
‘Right, that’s what I thought.’
Moreover, my Furious Charge was still on cooldown as well.
I lifted my head and gazed up at the Castle.
Up close, even just the castle walls towered as high and massive as a decent building.
And yet there existed a snake even larger than that.
“You’re asking us to catch that…?”
Isto answered cheerfully.
-Correct it is. Hehehehe.
They say when humans are too flabbergasted, laughter erupts instead.
Doo-ho gazed at the Eagle Tribe with a hollow laugh.
Then a sudden thought crossed his mind.
After all, they would have fought Quetzalcoatl even without us.
So they must have some means on their side too.
The first idea that came to him was this.
Meteor would shake their movements with his void frequency, while the Eagle Tribe would create openings through wave attacks.
The problem was the finishing blow.
Doo-ho’s gaze turned to the gigantification amulet hanging from Isto’s wrist.
If I added his count punch to that….
‘Wouldn’t it be possible?’
Then his gaze shifted to Hawkeye.
‘Or should I tell him to turn invisible, slip into its belly, and slash around with arrows?’
Surely it wouldn’t digest metal….
Heh heh.
Hawkeye, sensing an inexplicable unease, lowered his scope.
-Didn’t you just have an ominous thought, Macromanser?
“No.”
-Hmm….
As Super Intelligence stared intently, Doo-ho averted his gaze slightly.
‘Does Super Intelligence have good instincts too?’
Anyway.
“Isto.”
-Yes?
“Relay everything I ask directly to them so we can gauge their full strength.”
In Doo-ho’s mind, force combinations began calculating rapidly.
