Chapter 126.
God Slayer
Having established the broad strokes of the operation based on the Eagle Tribe’s demands, I felt something gnawing at me.
Something didn’t sit right.
I could understand their request to drive Quetzalcoatl from the Mountain Range.
But.
‘Why would they insist on moving the island toward the Mountain Range, which would become a battlefield?’
Normally, protecting a nest meant keeping your distance from danger.
What was even stranger was that they’d already headed toward that Mountain Range several times before.
Now that I thought about it, details I hadn’t noticed at first began to surface.
The Castle, which had seemed so magnificent, bore scars of destruction throughout.
The Eagle Tribe gathered in the Plaza were in similar condition.
Barely a handful remained unwounded.
I’d already accepted the Quest.
Clearing it would grant me a reprieve for this Floor and the Necromancer’s authority as well.
That alone was reason enough to clear the Quest.
Still.
‘To clear it, I need to grasp their true intentions precisely.’
“Isto.”
Isto, who had adjusted the band with the camera attached, turned his head.
-Yes?
‘What is he even filming with that thing?’
Never mind.
That guy’s been strange for ages now.
-What’s wrong?
“Ask the Eagle Tribe Chief about their real purpose.”
-Their purpose?
“Yeah. Why they’re trying to head toward the Mountain Range.”
Isto approached the Eagle Tribe Chief.
-Caw, caw caw.
The Eagle Tribe Chief didn’t answer.
I observed the Eagle Tribe Chief for a moment. It was clear they had secrets worth keeping.
Even so.
“Isto.”
-Yes.
“Tell them this: we can’t help until we know their true purpose.”
Isto nodded and spoke in the Eagle Tribe’s language once more.
-Caw caw. Caw caw caw.
A low chorus of caws rippled through the Eagle Tribe.
The Eagle Tribe Chief fell silent for a long moment.
Then, slowly, he raised a hand formed of white feathers and pointed toward the Mountain Range.
“Koo-koo… koo-koo-koo koo-oo….”
His voice trailed downward at the end.
Isto translated his words.
-Our allies beyond the dimension have marked the return coordinates atop that Mountain Range.
“Return coordinates?”
-Indeed. And this Floating Island serves as the medium to cross over to those coordinates.
Only then did I understand.
Why they hadn’t asked me to kill Quetzalcoatl, but to push him away from the Mountain Range instead.
What they truly desired wasn’t victory.
It was escape.
The moment Quetzalcoatl was driven from the coordinates.
This Floating Island would enter the coordinates and cross over to the other dimension.
‘If only you’d explained that from the beginning, things would be so much simpler.’
I immediately revised my strategy.
Just as I was about to catch my breath.
“Koo-koo-koo-koo-koo!”
An Eagle Tribe sentinel stationed at the Castle tower cried out urgently.
My jaw dropped as I looked up.
Good heavens.
“It’s that massive?”
Quetzalcoatl, emerging over the distant Mountain Range, was so colossal that even the vast distance couldn’t diminish its overwhelming presence.
White feathers blanketed the mountain ridges, and its serpentine body coiled around the entire range.
Each time its head rose slowly, clouds scattered and vanished.
Now I fully understood why the Eagle Tribe had only asked for him to be pushed away.
‘It looks absurdly powerful….’
Tremble, tremble.
Bom-i on my shoulder quivered like an aspen leaf.
M-master…
-Isn’t that a god, croak.
I kept my eyes fixed on Quetzalcoatl while offering a hopeful jest to ease the tension.
“Bom.”
-A-a god, croak?
“We’ve got someone who’s already shattered a god’s toe, haven’t we?”
Isto’s LED eyes suddenly widened in circles.
-Ehehe~ After the toe comes the serpent, yes?
“That’s right. I’m counting on you.”
My eyes shifted as I answered, turning toward Hawkeye, who had remained silent until now.
“It’s far, but what do you think about hitting its eyes with arrows of light?”
Hawkeye’s scope narrowed toward the Mountain Range.
-I can hit it. However, I cannot guarantee the power behind the strike.
“That’s fine.”
-Is that so?
I watched Quetzalcoatl carefully.
“I just want to see how it reacts.”
Hawkeye drew back the bowstring.
Whoooosh.
Hawkeye gathered far more light than usual.
The arrow of light was visibly enormous at a glance.
-Macromancer, beyond this point the ground cannot support—
Crack!
Isto grabbed and anchored Hawkeye’s legs in place.
-Lanky, is this enough?
-I owe you one.
And simultaneously, Hawkeye drew even more light.
The brilliance was so intense the entire island turned white.
In that instant.
Whoooosh—
The arrow of light streaked across the Mountain Range.
And then.
Shrieeeeeek!!
Quetzalcoatl’s scream shook the entire Plaza.
Hawkeye concealed himself through invisibility.
To prevent the enemy from identifying his appearance and countering his movements afterward.
I swallowed hard, watching Quetzalcoatl with its eyes seared by the arrow of light.
“…Did it actually work?”
It would have been surprising if it did.
Quetzalcoatl’s eye sockets had been completely blown through.
But.
The damaged area began to fill in rapidly.
Master.
-Isn’t that immortality, you croak!
“Seems like it.”
-Master, it probably isn’t true immortality.
‘How would you know that?’
Meteor answered my question slowly.
-I once received a commission worth ten thousand magic stones to kill that thing.
At Meteor’s words, I was left speechless.
Ten thousand?
‘A meteor ten kilometers in size….’
Wouldn’t that mean the end of civilization itself?
-That’s correct.
And then came an even more chilling statement.
-Master will also meet his end along with the meteor….
Doo-ho and his companions exchanged glances with one another.
Then Isto flattened his LED eyes into straight lines as he spoke.
That one, that one.
-A very dangerous fellow indeed!
-Master, didn’t you give us an even larger meteor before with that opening bonus nonsense!
-Necromancer, I despise meteor endings.
Doo-ho, who told everyone to calm down, muttered under his breath.
‘Was the master ignorant, or….’
His thoughts stopped there.
Now wasn’t the time to dwell on such matters.
Meteor, returning to normal, asked a question.
-Master, I think I blacked out a moment ago.
“What happened?”
-…Nothing, sir.
While he muttered that something was strange, Doo-ho looked down at Isto.
“Tell them the operation is beginning.”
Isto immediately stretched his neck out long.
-Squuuuuuuuu───!
At Isto’s prolonged cry, the Eagle Tribe members fluttered about and began moving busily in all directions.
* * *
The Floating Island moved toward the Mountain Range.
Just as the Mountain Range drew near.
Rumble.
Quetzalcoatl twisted his body slightly.
With just that small movement, the terrain shifted absurdly in places.
Even Doo-ho, who had maintained his composure, felt his legs tremble under the pressure.
Then Doo-ho watched the Eagle Tribe members preparing to glide while glaring at Quetzalcoatl.
‘They’re truly desperate.’
I didn’t know how they came to be here.
But the intensity of their desire to return home came through loud and clear.
Doo-ho steadied his breathing.
“Kuu kuu kuu!!”
I shouted the Eagle Tribe language for ‘prepare yourselves!’ that I had learned from Isto.
Some of the Eagle Tribe members spread their wings simultaneously.
Doo-ho observed their wings and then.
Whoosh! Flutter—.
I’d fashioned wings from my Soul Bot.
Wings that bore a striking resemblance to those of the Eagle Tribe.
Even in this chaos, I was rapidly absorbing my opponent’s advantages.
Isto spoke directly into my mind.
-I shall observe and imprint the details into your consciousness.
‘…I’m counting on you.’
I channeled my mana and cried out with greater force.
“Go!(Go!)”
Flutter—.
The Eagle Tribe Chief hurled himself toward the Mountain Range first.
Flutter, flutter, flutter….
Following suit, several Eagle Tribe members leaped from the Floating Island in succession, spreading their wings.
The sight resembled a staircase suspended in mid-air.
I spoke.
“Hawkeye, I’m counting on you.”
Already cloaked in invisibility, Hawkeye brushed past me and responded.
-I shall obey your command.
Hawkeye leaped from the Floating Island, erasing all presence and sound.
Soft.
And again, soft.
Hawkeye bounded across the Eagle Tribe members’ backs as if they were steps in the void, rapidly closing in on Quetzalcoatl.
One misstep meant certain plummeting.
Yet despite attempting this method for the first time, Hawkeye’s footwork was extraordinarily precise.
Some of the Eagle Tribe members didn’t even realize Hawkeye had crossed their backs.
I called out into the empty air.
“Meteor, you said in the strategy meeting we could only use the Void Frequency for 15 seconds, right?”
-That’s right! The opponent is absurdly powerful, so that’s our limit!
In other words, we had to settle this within 15 seconds.
That was precisely when it happened.
The Eagle Tribe Chief leading the charge soared high before Quetzalcoatl’s gaping maw.
The Eagle Tribe scattered in all directions, disrupting Quetzalcoatl’s vision.
In that moment, one of them with thick legs lunged toward Quetzalcoatl’s belly, sword gripped firmly.
Gulp—.
Quetzalcoatl snapped its head down and swallowed him whole.
Watching this, I turned my head sharply.
Damn it.
‘Something that massive shouldn’t be that fast!’
Simultaneously, Hawkeye slid down Quetzalcoatl’s feather-covered body.
-The feathers are longer and denser than anticipated….
At Isto’s provocation over how troublesome this was proving to be.
—Elongated one, is that all you’ve got?
—Don’t mess around. Iron-headed fool!
Whoosh.
Hawkeye rapidly repositioned from Quetzalcoatl’s side to its back.
Thunk!
Spotting the short feathers on the creature’s back, Hawkeye wedged his body through and drove the iron rod Meteor had given him deep inside.
Against such a massive frame, it was little more than a pinprick.
But….
It must have stung quite a bit, for Quetzalcoatl’s jaw snapped open and it shrieked.
As a result.
“Gugu—gu! (I’m alive!)”
The Eagle Tribe member trapped inside its mouth barely managed to escape.
That’s when Duho asked.
‘Isto, have you finished analyzing how the Eagle Tribe flies?’
—Right away! Adadadadada!
The rapid wingbeat technique of the Eagle Tribe surged forward.
In the meantime, Isto refined it to suit Duho’s situation.
‘Whenever I see things like this, Isto really is remarkable.’
Duho, suspended in midair by the floating stone, flapped his wings.
This meant that when hovering in the air, Duho could either channel mana into the floating stone to stay aloft.
Or withdraw the mana while gliding to fly.
In other words, he no longer had to rely solely on the floating stone.
He immediately glided down toward Isto and snatched him up.
Meteor!
‘Hollow frequency!’
—I was looking for it.
‘Hurry!’
—Don’t rush me… I found it.
Whooom—.
The iron rod resonated against Quetzalcoatl’s back.
Its vertical pupils dilated widely.
Kuuung!
The earth trembled, and Quetzalcoatl collapsed as if driving its head into the hillside.
Duho immediately relayed to Hawkeye the location of Quetzalcoatl’s heart that Bom-i had taught him.
Hawkeye rushed toward the heart in a single bound.
Papapapapak!
Dozens of Ecometal arrows embedded themselves deep around the heart.
Simultaneously, Duho hurled Isto forward.
The giant transformation necklace hanging like a bracelet on Isto’s arm began to glow.
[Gigantification activates.]
[Please specify the desired size.]
-I need to be as big as Quetzalcoatl.
With those words, Isto rapidly swelled in size.
Ooooh!
Even his exclamation seemed to echo with tremendous volume.
[Colossal transformation lasts only 5 seconds.]
What?!
Isto, startled, thrust his hand forward urgently.
The weakened flesh where Hawkeye had driven the echo metal arrow was seized in the creature’s enormous grip.
Crrrunch! Crrrunch! Crrrunch!!!
The flesh was torn away.
From within, a colossal magic stone was extracted.
Just as everyone was about to erupt in cheers at this impossible spectacle.
Isto shoved the colossal magic stone into his mouth.
Crunch crunch crunch crunch crunch!
Isto frantically pulverized and swallowed it.
Doo-ho and everyone else’s eyes went wide as saucers.
That’s when Meteor shouted.
-Time’s up!
The futile frequency cut off.
Simultaneously, Quetzalcoatl’s vertical pupils constricted.
Shrieeeeeeek!
Delayed agony erupted.
Bereft of its magic stone, Quetzalcoatl writhed and lunged toward Isto.
Yet absurdly, Isto’s body began shrinking rapidly at that very moment.
Quetzalcoatl’s fangs slashed through empty air.
Isto returned to his original size and crashed to the ground.
But then.
Whoooosh!
Scorching heat erupts from Isto’s chest.
His LED eyes blaze crimson.
Ooooh!
-Power! I’m bursting with power!
The rock beneath his feet glowed incandescent red before beginning to melt.
The surrounding snow piles transformed into water, then boiled away into vapor and dissipated.
Aaaagh!
-I can’t control it anymore!
Quetzalcoatl, now without its magic stone, descended upon Isto before death could claim it.
But.
Screeeeeech!
Flames erupted across Quetzalcoatl’s white feathers.
Flesh charred black as it burned away.
The searing heat radiating from Isto painted the mountainside crimson.
This is….
-Looks like indigestion!
Bom-i muttered as she watched the spectacle unfold.
-Iron Guy won’t need to eat magic stones for a while, ribbit.
Quetzalcoatl, consumed by Isto’s ultra-high temperature flames.
Beneath Duo Ho suspended in mid-air, a colossal fire demon thrashed about wildly.
A System Message chimed in Duo Ho’s ears.
[You have gained experience points.]
Unexpected experience points.
Yet Duo Ho felt oddly disappointed.
Wow….
“I can’t believe they’re counting this as just one magical beast.”
But.
That was only the beginning.
[Lllllevel…]
The system seemed to lag for a moment.
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Level…]
[You have entered D-Rank.]
[R Town is now connected to the Garage.]
[Super Intelligence summoning is now available.]

[Hidden Main Quest Complete]
Reward: Genesis
[For exceeding the objective, Mechromancer mana circuit knowledge has increased significantly.]
[You can now possess up to 10 subordinate mechanical entities of your own creation.]
And once more.

[World Announcement]
Korea Abyss Floor 9 Destruction Postponed
※ Slay the Divine.
The moment that absurd message appeared, Doo-ho clutched his head.
“No, slay the Divine?”
In that instant.
The Floating Island began moving toward coordinates above the Mountain Range.
