Chapter 77

#Episode 77

As soon as I entered the 4th floor, the roulette began spinning without any mercy.

The roulette filled with fear spun frantically for a moment before stopping precisely in front of the number 3.

‘3x multiplier…’

According to what I heard from Nova, this operation was so important that it would determine the fate of future battlefields.

Humanity had also assembled a massive allied force aiming to recapture Telesys.

In fact, around the flagship Void Crown we were riding, over thirty combat cruisers were accompanying us.

A miraculous fleet created by gathering the pinnacle of humanity’s advanced technology.

I thought we could easily recapture Demiurgos with this much force, but seeing Telesys in the distance made those words disappear.

“This is insane…”

“How many ships are there…?”

Alien warships, I suppose.

Bizarre-shaped alien vessels were densely filling Telesys’s atmosphere.

‘Exponential… No wonder they gave me vague information…’

The security was so tight that not even a gap could be seen, it was absurd.

Just breaking through that looked daunting from the start.

No matter how powerful I was, realistically it would be difficult to break through ships covering an entire planet.

Moreover, visibility wasn’t secured right now, so I couldn’t even find where Demiurgos was.

Forcibly breaking through the sky and crash-landing on the planet to search for hangars was out of the question.

Planet-scale exploration? I’d be exhausted before having a proper battle.

“What do we do about this…”

The other ships that joined this mission seemed equally perplexed, unable to easily take action.

Nova was also making “Ugh…” sounds while holding her head.

In the end, it meant I had to accomplish something.

First, I needed to prioritize.

The most urgent thing was Demiurgos’s exact location.

Second was breaking through the sky.

Third was securing Demiurgos, then recapturing Telesys, or at minimum escaping with Demiurgos.

‘Okay, so the exact location comes first.’

In Void Crown’s bridge, countless geniuses including Captain Hale Marcus were putting their heads together, trying to secure visibility somehow.

But it wasn’t just one or two ships – with battleships completely covering the sky, even this didn’t look easy.

Even I was getting dizzy from too many things obstructing my view, so how much worse must it be for them.

“Isn’t there some way?”

“It’s harder because this isn’t a magic-based world.”

“Should we just sweep everything away brutally?”

“That should be our last resort, since we can’t just waste time here indefinitely.”

To make matters worse, with the appearance of the Milky Way Human Alliance, the alien races were also urgently calling for reinforcements.

Alien battleships that had completed warp jumps were appearing one by one, further obscuring our vision.

Marcus had an intense discussion with his colleagues, then realizing there was no answer, approached me.

“Even if we want to make a focused breakthrough, we can’t tell what’s where…”

“Hmm… But is a focused breakthrough itself possible?”

“Yes, that much isn’t difficult. However, if time drags on and more enemy ships appear, even that might become difficult.”

“So we need to settle this as quickly as possible.”

“That’s right.”

I stared intently at Telesys visible beyond the glass.

Wasn’t there some way?

In this world, magic hits as true damage, so if I was determined to break through, it would be possible, but I didn’t know what variables might arise.

“Sigh… With the scale becoming cosmic-level, there’s really no answer…”

It felt like my brain was going on strike.

In this increasingly disadvantageous situation, just as I was wondering if I should resort to the all-out war I’d saved as a last resort.

[I… am… in…]

“Everyone be quiet!!”

A thin voice that seemed ready to break at any moment brushed past my ear.

When I shouted at the voice as light as silk-like wind, everyone reflexively shut their mouths.

‘Again, say it once more.’

In the unprepared situation, it was such a fleeting moment that I couldn’t detect it properly.

But what I definitely felt was that this voice wasn’t a physical voice or electromagnetic waves.

It was clearly the sorrowful voice of a human soul whispering.

When I closed my eyes and concentrated, I heard the faint language once more.

[I am… here…]

Tracing the flow of conversation transmitted by the soul, I felt a faint current from Telesys’s pole.

I didn’t know why I was sensing a human soul from Demiurgos, but he was definitely asking me for help right now.

‘One last time, just once more.’

We’ve almost got it.

Now we just need to pinpoint the exact location and we’re done.

As if responding to my desperation, I heard the final voice of a soul being squeezed out.

[I’m here… please… I beg you…]

With a voice so fragile it seemed ready to break, yet filled with desperation, it poured out its emotions to me.

[Please kill me.]

With those pleading words, the faint flow of the soul that had barely existed was finally completely severed.

Though we couldn’t converse any further, I had perfectly pinpointed the location.

The place where Demiurgos existed was at the Telesis Axis Pole.

‘I don’t know why a decisive weapon would ask to be killed… but I guess I’ll have to go see for myself.’

I immediately called the captain and designated the coordinates I had confirmed on the Telesis hologram.

“Demiurgos is here.”

“What?! Is that really true?”

“Yes, I’m certain.”

Marcus clicked his tongue as if troubled.

Because the location I had indicated was completely different from the coordinates they had previously held.

“I don’t know what happened, but I’ll follow your orders.”

“Yes, we’ll make a concentrated breakthrough to the axis pole, and my companions and I will take a landing craft for high-speed descent.”

“Understood.”

The chaotically moving control room began flowing smoothly at Marcus’s command.

Having always prepared for such situations, the Allied Forces’ flagship piloting skills had reached divine levels.

Just as we moved to the location I had designated and were about to begin coordinate bombardment with the other cruisers.

Suddenly, Marcus’s expression twisted with shock.

This spread contagiously to the other Allied Forces members one by one.

“What now, what’s the problem this time.”

The hologram was immediately plastered with countless red [WARNING!] messages scattered everywhere.

“Cataclysm has appeared.”

“Cataclysm? What’s that?”

At my question, Marcus pressed his brow and began speaking each word with emphasis.

“One of Andromeda’s Twelve Flagship Ships… Its characteristic is that it constantly deploys a barrier that completely decomposes all energy.”

“Ugh… Then what happens to our battleships’ attacks?”

“There’s a very high probability that all of Void Crown’s attacks won’t work.”

No wonder things seemed to be going too smoothly.

The hologram displayed the form of the Cataclysm that Marcus had mentioned.

It was a red battleship shaped like a crab with a grotesquely large number of legs, and indeed, there wasn’t even a trace of battle damage on Cataclysm.

Since that barrier disintegrates all attacks from the start, proper combat can’t even be established.

The only fortunate thing was that compared to its superior defensive capabilities, its offensive abilities were insignificant.

Its main role was to buy time and call in other battle cruisers.

It was the worst possible enemy for us right now.

But just because a formidable enemy had appeared didn’t mean we could just sit around sucking our thumbs – we had experienced terrible battlefields every time.

“If we can somehow deal with that barrier, can we damage the main body?”

“What? If that were possible…”

Marcus manipulated the hologram for a moment, reciting various information about Cataclysm, then nodded.

“Yes, if we can somehow deal with that barrier, it should be quite possible.”

“…Understood, please prepare two spacesuits.”

“Sp-spacesuits?! Don’t tell me you’re planning to go out there yourself?”

“Yes.”

At my calm answer, Marcus’s eyes trembled.

Marcus pressed down his cap and blinked for a moment, then nodded deeply.

“Understood, I’ll prepare combat suits for you. However, if it’s two suits, the other one is for…?”

Marcus looked at my companions.

At the mention of going out into space, my companions were horrified and shuddering.

Among them, I pointed to Hunter Baek Do-hyeon, who was trembling and grimacing.

“The remaining suit will be worn by her.”

“One women’s suit, one men’s suit, understood.”

“Ah, why me!!”

“Well then, who here has better firepower than Hunter Baek Do-hyeon?”

Hunter Baek Do-hyeon looked back, then grimaced and finally walked forward.

Indeed, when it came to pure firepower alone, there was no one who could dare compete with her.

“You’re really going to work a dead person to death.”

“I should tell the labor office not to build one.”

We exchanged brief jokes while putting on the combat suits we were given.

Surprisingly, instead of being worn like clothes, we attached badges and tapped them twice, causing transparent membranes to deploy over our bodies.

“Let’s go right away without delay.”

“I’m just going to blow up the whole battleship, so handle the aftermath yourself.”

* * *

As I emerged from the battleship wearing the combat suit, the massive Cataclysm filled my entire field of vision.

Just as Marcus had said, a slightly reddish protective barrier covered the entire Cataclysm.

“So, what’s the plan for the operation?”

“Hunter Baek Do-hyeon and I will break through the barrier, then immediate orbital precision strike from above. Simple, right?”

“Simple indeed.”

“That’s right, let’s take this opportunity to completely crush their spirit with one big hit.”

“Got it.”

Hunter Baek Do-hyeon lightly raised her mana to check her output.

I was worried that flames might not ignite in a place without air, but elemental magic that burns mana rather than air or matter as fuel could activate without any problems.

“Alright, let’s go!”

“Understood.”

This wasn’t some carelessly thrown magic, but Hunter Baek Do-hyeon’s proper elemental magic beginning to unfold for the first time in a while.

She was someone who commanded the respect of all magic-type hunters not just across the Korean Peninsula and Asia, but around the entire world.

She who could truly be called a Grand Mage carefully drew forth flames.

Arrow-like elongated pure white flames formed the framework, and wind began to flutter above it.

Around the wind that spun fiercely while containing flames, several more layers of fire and wind were overlaid.

“The efficiency is too low, probably because there’s no oxygen.”

“Is it difficult for you?”

“Not at all.”

Unfortunately, this location wasn’t suitable for summoning other elements.

She continued gathering flames and wind, compressing them countless times.

The fierce harmony of fire and wind felt even through the combat suit soon crafted an arrow about 4 meters in size.

It was a trivial size compared to that massive battleship, but the essence of elemental magic contained within was something even I couldn’t ignore.

“I’m going first with one shot.”

“Yes, I’ll be ready immediately.”

The arrow was nocked on the bow made of flames and the string was drawn.

The pure white arrow that illuminated the dark universe was drawn taut and then.

Whit-!

Her arrow, fired with a brief sound, collided with the protective barrier.

Tszzt- Tszzzzzzt!

The barrier that tried to analyze Hunter Baek Do-hyeon’s attack began to twist strangely as if it had received an incomprehensible force.

Each time a layer of compressed fire and wind peeled away, it savagely tore at the Cataclysm.

Whoooosh-!

Each collision brought a storm of flames.

Facing this power for the first time, and overwhelmed by strength beyond specifications, the barrier that had been gritting its teeth and enduring finally developed massive cracks.

“Now-!”

“I’ve been waiting!”

I didn’t miss this opportunity and struck down with the massive spear of death I had prepared in advance.

Like a giant wielding a pitch-black spear to strike down a crab, tremendous death energy came crashing down.

With no time to repair from Hunter Baek Do-hyeon’s attack, the barrier was completely shredded by the follow-up assault without a chance to analyze it.

Then a destroyer from the flagship quickly retrieved Baek Do-hyeon and me.

As soon as our safety was confirmed, the battleships’ attacks began pouring down as if they had been waiting.

As if to repay all the humiliation they had endured, an enormous amount of light poured toward the Cataclysm.

Naturally, the Cataclysm’s outer hull wasn’t excellent enough to withstand the battleships’ attacks.

“We did it-!”

Finally, a massive hole was punched through the sky above Telesys.
