#317
317. Mission Type, Transcendence (2)
The operational status board at the top of the cockpit flashed.
Sleipnir, which the heroes rode on, was heading for the passage of Server 1, running between dimensions.
“Move on to the next phase.”
Siris met Yurnet’s eyes.
Yurnet nodded and took out a jet-black greatsword from her bosom.
Loki’s sword, Bifrost.
It was a medium to transfer Niflheim’s information.
[Teeling!]
[Master, the hero ‘Siris (★★★★★★)’ requests data transfer.]
[Required amount of data – 27GB: Caution! We recommend using WIFI. Data charges may apply when working in other environments.]
[Are you sure you want to do this?]
[Yes / No]
A large amount of data was required, but Amkena did not hesitate.
When the ‘Yes’ button was touched, the magic circle where Yurnet was standing emitted an intense flash.
「Transfer work, commencement.」
Yurnet drew magic formulas in the air.
Bifrost rose into the air.
[Start data transmission!]
[Downloading… … 000001/547637]
[Estimated working time – 53 minutes]
Siris crossed her arms.
‘That master knows nothing.’
Siris explained only minimal information to Amkena.
Your hero is in danger.
With that alone, that master joined the operation.
‘Intention… … I don’t know.’
Well, it doesn’t matter.
It was enough if I could be of help to the Master.
<You were able to meet the deadline. 1The task of rewriting the data on the server has also been completed.>
Sizel’s vision continued the explanation.
<From now on, Eden Battle is treated as a mission. This will probably be the last mission of Pick Me Up. You will be able to receive several bonuses in this mission. >
It was also another reason for calling Amkena.
‘The last mission.’
Once the composition of the master, hero, and monster is completed, the mission can be made compulsory.
Siris and her friends have completed dozens of difficult missions. Such an environment will be of great help in conducting operations.
<The condition of server 1 is worse than expected. The mission difficulty is high.>
“doesn’t care.”
<I see.>
click.
Siris unlocked the scabbard.
Sleipnir was entering the field next to Server 1.
Beyond this place, it was Eden.
“Full speed forward. Break through without stopping.”
Aaron raised his eyelids.
The nearby scenery passed by quickly.
He is standing on the airship deck.
After a brief briefing, the members of the 13th floor had moved places.
“Junior, have you memorized the mission role?”
At the back of the deck, Nihaku murmured.
To his left stood Lydigion.
“Can you forget?”
I memorized it hundreds of times.
‘Kill enemies that get in the way.’
Most minnows will be taken care of by the airship’s defense system, but there will be a mix of superlatives among them. Eliminating them was the role of Aaron and Lydegion.
‘finally… … .’
Jiing.
Ruin’s spear blade trembled slightly.
The most important role given to Aaron.
Breaking through the barriers between dimensions by liberating karma.
<Ten seconds before the start of the operation! This airship will enter the 1st server!>
The operator’s announcement sounded from above the deck.
“Don’t be nervous. As expected, nothing special.”
don’t be nervous
Aaron straightened the spear.
I just hoped that the girl hiding in the warehouse would never have to step out.
<5 seconds ago! Everyone on board, prepare for an impact!>
A warning window appeared in Aaron’s field of vision.
[Warning!]
[Warning!]
[Warning!]
[Warning!]
[Warning!]
A message that always appears before the start of a high-difficulty mission.
Soon after, the outline of the mission unfolded.
[Floor 0.]
[Mission Type – Transcendence]
[Goal – Break through the borderline dimension!]
The mission type was designated by Sizel himself.
I thought this word would suit you.
<3!>
<2!>
<1!>
bang!
A strong pressure that seemed to oppress the whole body.
Sleipnir entered the passage between dimensions.
The scenery outside the airship was dyed black.
<Enter the 1st server!>
thud!
Shock swept across the ship once more.
Aaron held on to the railing.
[Dimension 0000 – EDEN]
The surrounding landscape changed dramatically.
Buildings large and small and numerous roads were tangled without knowing the end.
The center of server 1, Eden.
All of the structures were in a state of contamination and corrosion. Unidentified black solids were attached to each wall of the building, and a thick cloud of pollution was floating near the overpass.
It was the effect of the intertwined construction.
Only a month had passed in the outer dimension, but time here had passed by close to hundreds of years.
[Unidentified Contaminant Lv.???] X 565
Thousands of pairs of red eyes flashed in the cracks between buildings and roads.
It detects an intruder.
“He’s coming.”
Lydegion recited.
Contaminants resembling large spiders were coming up to the roof of the building.
The sky above the city is encroaching with the highest concentration of pollution clouds.
can’t go upwards
Like it or not, I had to break through between the buildings below.
“Whoa.”
Aaron gave strength to the spearhead.
[Unidentified Contaminant Lv.???] X 1357
Pollution has multiplied at a tremendous rate.
Their eyes were shining, blocking the road between the building and the road.
The passage itself was blocked. If you overdo it, Sleipnir will disappear without leaving a trace.
<Breakthrough begins.>
Woo woo woo.
Sleipnir started maneuvering.
[Unidentified Contaminant Lv.???] X 1421
“There are more than expected.”
Aaron bit his lip.
Pollutants were proliferating like worms.
The entire district seemed to be tinged with black.
“Believe me.”
Lydigion looked to the right.
Next to him stood Nihaku with his hands outstretched.
<Come! Brunak!>
Dismissed! Jigsaw Jigsaw!
A golden bow emerged from her right hand as vivid lightning bolted from her body.
new liberation.
The members of the 13th floor of Niflheim have the specs of a top 6-star hero by themselves.
However, they were able to demonstrate a higher level of strength by releasing the exclusive weapons given to them by their Master.
Five transcendent equipment that Loki created with a lot of time and effort.
One of them was the Brain Demon Palace Brunak.
<Umbrak. Kvura Andi. An Braum.>
Flash!
Nihaku’s eyes shone golden.
Lightning-shaped wings spread out from both sides of the golden bow.
Nihaku aimed his bow forward with a sparkling hand.
The airship was approaching a building on the outskirts of the city.
[Unidentified Contaminant Lv.???] X 1679
Bang!
A golden trail stretched out from Brunak.
Pollutants near the tracks burned in an instant.
Bang!
second shot.
The contaminant colonies crossing between buildings disappeared in one blow.
Bang!
third shot.
The cluster of contaminants that had been filling the overpass disappeared like spring snow melting.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Power closer to bombing than arrows.
Each time the shooting continued, the surroundings temporarily brightened.
In the twelfth shot, the lightning bolt faced a change.
On the way, the trajectory began to bend. The lightning bolts bent in different directions, burning monsters in all directions.
“…”
Hundreds of contaminants blocking the way were cleaned up.
Sleipnir passed through the middle of the building unhindered.
[‘Sleipnir’ has reached Eden District 1!]
A message announcing safe passage.
Ridigion said.
“Don’t worry about the mischief.”
“……yes.”
Jigsaw Jigsaw!
Each hit is a lethal force.
Spears of lightning spread around Sleipnir without rest.
‘but.’
Whoa!
A quantity more than disappeared appeared.
Spiders the size of a man constantly popped out from the pillars under the overpass, from the cracks in the collapsed buildings of the mall, and from the offices of the collapsed buildings.
[Unidentified Contaminant Lv.???] X 1932
Fight!
The anti-aircraft guns installed on the sides of the airship also opened fire.
Thunderbolt arrows and magical energy shells swept in all directions, forming a dense network.
‘… … It’s amazing.’
The limbs of the contaminants, thick black blood, and fragments of shattered buildings cascaded down the deck.
To the point of dizziness before my eyes. Having finished his ascent on the 20th floor, Aaron had never faced an enemy of this size before.
“The annihilation power is insufficient.”
“I know!”
Nihaku did somersaults and jumped high.
The lightning that surrounded her whole body spread violently.
“Chiri-chiri Special!”
Dismissed!
A bolt of lightning shot down and split into several streams.
Numerous bolts of lightning were arbitrarily combined and scattered to eliminate the monsters.
“I’m going crazy!”
Huge sparks ricocheted across the airspace.
Meanwhile.
“Report on the status.”
Siris on board muttered.
The girl sitting in the operator’s seat opened her mouth.
“Contaminant counts are 37% higher than predicted. Other conditions are within acceptable limits.”
Siris nodded.
A holographic map of the dashboard. The green dot pointing to the Sleipnir was advancing towards the destination. A state full of red dots around the green dots. It was a mark pointing to enemies.
Among the members of the 13th floor, Nihaku specializes in mass annihilation.
The contaminants covering the entire airship were quickly being cleaned by Nihaku’s fire and auxiliary fire from anti-aircraft guns.
‘the problem is… … .’
Whether or not there are elite individuals capable of penetrating Nihaku and Airship’s defense system.
Sure enough, when we reached the center of District 1, an unusually bright red dot appeared on the dashboard.
[Shadow of the Fallen God Lv.137]
“Elite instances appear.”
Siris looked at the monitor.
Beneath the airship, a human-shaped shadow was climbing up the skyscraper.
‘The shadow of a fallen god.’
It was the monster that Yurnet told me to be especially careful with.
Its true identity is the remnants of the godhead absorbed by Loki combined with pollutants.
It is equipped with a force that is different from that of normal pollution.
“What about Ridigion?”
“They say they are ready.”
Siris nodded.
I can’t bring a guy like that to the airship. After he distanced himself, he had to deal with it.
That role belonged to Ridigion, who specialized in interpersonal warfare.
“Tell them to remove it.”
“As commanded.”
The operator pressed the red button.
Then, Lidigion’s voice rang in my ears.
<I’m sorry about this. Are you going to send me alone under the swarm of them?>
“…”
<It’s a joke.>
A new type of Lidigion landed under the airship.
After he’s done with the object of interest, he’ll use the hearthstone to get back on deck.
‘It’s going well so far.’
The number of monsters is slightly large.
The distribution of the pollution cloud also seemed quite thick.
However, it is a variable within the assumed range.
Although the classification difficulty of the mission is S-class, the members of the 1st party cleared this level of mission in Niflheim to the point of getting tired of it.
Combat is minimal.
You don’t even have to deal with them one by one.
After removing only the ones blocking the way to a minimum, we arrive at the barrier blocking the border.
And when Aaron’s spear pierced the hole and entered the interior to finish the work, the operation was over.
‘The key is simple.’
Sleipnir was an airship specialized in single-point breakthroughs.
At some point, the airships broke through Area 1.
[‘Sleipnir’ has reached Eden District 2!]
The final destination is located in District 3.
If all goes according to plan, we should be able to get there in 30 minutes.
“Lidigion, you have returned.”
After less than 10 minutes, the return signal came.
Ridigion had finished processing the monster.
‘also… … .’
Siris was stronger than she knew.
This shadow was a low-level deity, but that didn’t compare to normal monsters.
[Downloading… … 213401/547637]
[Estimated working time – 21 minutes]
The data transmission between Yurnet and Amkena was also going smoothly.
“Speed up. We’ll be there in five minutes.”
“yes!”
well worth it
If she does her part, the mission will be completed without a problem.
‘Master, please wait.’
Levatein’s blade was halfway out of the scabbard.
That moment.
rattle!
The lights in the cockpit dimmed for an instant, and the interior shook violently.
Siris looked at the status board. It was not a physical attack. Because there was no damaged part of the airship. However, Sleipnir was stopped in the middle of District 2.
“What?”
“It’s unidentified data interference!”
“Data interference?”
Siris looked back at Yurnet.
She was busy sending data.
‘If it’s data interference… … .’
Is it a hacking attempt?
whoever.
“Siris, the target has requested communication.”
“Isn’t it Sizel?”
“Communication code is different.”
“Connect.”
Siris stared at the monitor in front.
support position.
Noise flashed across the screen.
“Until you come… … wait… … .」
A muffled voice echoed through the cockpit.
“Hindrance… … if… … kill… … .”
“What is the communication code name?”
“FREY.”
