098 Legendary Fisherman

Gooooo-!!

Just like Myung-jun, Byung-tae, who was nervously watching the operation, began pressing buttons with a trembling heart as soon as Myung-juns awaited command came.

Main and sub propulsion device stop! Front propulsion device to maximum output! Cable towing equipment operation initiated!

All crew members, brace for impact!

Instantly, the massive hull of the Liberator, which had been rising upwards with the movement of the Leviathan, churned up tremendous foam and came to a stop in its place.

Then, gradually increasing speed, it began to reverse.



At the same time, the giant winch that had just been releasing the cable at a terrifying speed came to a halt and began to rotate in the opposite direction.

The Leviathan, the largest creature in human history, one of the Twelve Heavenly Lords, and the first of its kind to appear on Earth.

For the purpose of catching the Ocean King Leviathan.

Even with all the capabilities of the Liberator, which had a larger hull than the supercarriers known as the Gerald R. Ford-class carriers, it was by no means an easy task.









Activate auxiliary Crystal routes 1 through 12 simultaneously! Spare no Crystal stones!

Soo-jeong meticulously checked the condition of the Liberator as if caring for a patient under anesthesia, issuing necessary instructions.

Sending power where needed and dispatching repair robots where repairs were necessary.

Thanks to her efforts, the giant ocean Leviathan, surpassing the size imaginable by humans, was slowly being pulled towards the direction of the Liberator, feeling tremendous pain.

Whats the current distance?!

Current depth 2000, distance to target 4500! We need to pull it closer! Wait! Current depth 2200! 2400! Is it being pulled downwards?!

Add ballast tank drainage and adjust hull angle! We need to align with the Leviathans position to receive maximum force!

Towing equipment durability at 15% of its limit! If pulled any harder, the winch could be torn off completely!

Hmm. Even though we made it so sturdy.

She felt a surge of anger.

The situation, where the opponents power far exceeded the specifications of the equipment she thought had been completed beyond the level required for the operation, made her feel powerless again, just like she did at the Battle of Banara.

An opponent unaffected even by the firepower of a turret she had helped Myung-jun create.

In the end, what subdued Banara was not the equipment she had made, but the power of the Knight summoned by Myung-juns abilities.

Soo-jeong was not pleased with this fact.

Fool! Idiot! You promised you wouldnt create the same situation again!

There was also an injustice from her perspective.

If the fight had taken place on land rather than in the depths, they could have diverted all the output of the Liberator to reinforce the cables.

But doing so now would risk damaging the sturdy external armor of the Liberator under the overwhelming pressure of the depths.

If only they had designed it from the beginning for submersion, but the Liberator she had designed was not a ship specialized for submersion but rather a ship where submersion was possible.

It was the fatal limit of universal equipment designed to be capable of anything.

Towing equipment durability down to 3%!

Just as Soo-jeong was about to panic in the urgent situation, a tender voice, seemingly rescuing her, echoed through the situation room speakers.



Myung-jun?

[Senior, leave the towing equipment durability issue to me. You, just focus on power distribution.]

Having opened the emergency deck hatch and entered the hold, Myung-jun, once the pressure adjustment task was complete, leaped into the location of the towing equipment, clad in Abyss.

Then, standing before the massive winch emitting an eerie sound as if metal were screaming, he slowly raised his hand.

On the other side of that barrier, the abyssal monster, resembling a giant catfish, twisted its body madly, tethered to the cables.

It seemed to be several times the size of the Liberator Taylor was riding, but Taylor maintained a steady gaze without any sign of wavering in front of the gigantic creature.

As Myung-jun had said, even if they failed, they could simply run away.

However, while Taylor thought so in his head, in his heart blazed a fervent determination to bring down the opponent with this strike.

Not to let all their efforts go to waste, but solely to prove his own abilities.

As the spear in his hand gradually glowed with a brilliant light, Taylor raised the spear onto his shoulder.

Facing the Leviathan, which opened its enormous mouth in rage, seemingly intending to swallow the entire Liberator and his precious comrades whole, Taylor stared back with eyes filled with determination.

And at that moment, a system message announcing the commencement of the attack resounded in Taylors ear.



Take care.

Taylors final words were muttered almost like a whisper, as if to himself.

And simultaneously with that murmur, Taylor hurled the spear with all his might forward and then fell forward.

At that moment, numerous rockets behind the spear ignited simultaneously, propelling the spear thrown by Taylor to accelerate like mad.

Thus, the spear released from Taylors hand, in less than 0.1 second after launch, shot forward at a speed fifteen times the speed of sound in a straight line toward the Leviathan like a shooting star.

It was as if a single meteor were plummeting from the sky into the abyss.

Did it fail?

For a moment, Taylor anxiously raised his head, wondering if the absence of any sound meant the operation had failed.

And then, as he looked at the result of his creation, his expression turned astonished.

What in the world is that!?

The absence of sound might have been an expected result.

Just as there was no sound when slicing through tofu with a knife, the spear thrown by Taylor pierced through the head of the giant Leviathan as if encountering no resistance at all.

If one were to judge by sound alone, the quietness could make it seem as if nothing had happened, despite the fact that the spear had penetrated the head of the gigantic Leviathan in an instant.

However, the result created by that silence was so astonishing that it was hardly believable that it was caused by a single small spear.

A hole.

No, it would be more appropriate to call it a giant passage stretching from the Leviathans snout to its tail.

And that hole, under the 120,000-degree heat that could even vaporize tungsten, was melting down mercilessly like styrofoam hitting a soldering iron.

Flesh, bones, all sorts of muscles and organs.

The sight of a creature of such immense size that it could easily withstand a direct hit from a nuclear bomb, dying from a single blow, conveyed an unimaginable wonder even to those who witnessed it.

This This Did I?

At that moment, Myung-jun, who had released his hand from the winch due to lack of pulling force, opened the hatch of the Abyss and came out.

Upon seeing the sight before him, he spoke with a worried voice.

If thats the case, even Mr. Ho-chang wouldnt be able to block it with a shield, it would just evaporate, right?

Only then did Taylor, who had finally come to his senses, shout desperately.

Right! Ho-chang! Are you alright?!

As he could not even imagine that his attack would have such power, Taylors cry was filled with concern for Ho-changs well-being.

However, Ho-chang, in a strong voice as if to reassure him that his concern was unnecessary, answered Taylors question.

Damn it, I almost died for real! If anyone asks whether the spear is stronger or the shield is stronger, always answer that its the spear! This isnt something a shield can block!!?

Thus, the battle with the giant creature, which may have completely taken the ocean away from humanity, was neatly concluded with a single blow from the strongest spear of humanity.

Or so they thought.

Until, that is, the moment when Myung-jun and Taylor simultaneously looked up upon hearing the urgent call from Soo-jeong, who performed a wide-ranging scan to recover the materials.

Theres a massive life response at the enemys location! Its still alive!

The moment Soo-jeongs cry reached them, both Myung-jun and Taylor lifted their heads simultaneously.

What they saw with their eyes were the furious, bloodshot eyes of the Leviathan, aiming at the Liberator with immense tunnels pierced through its entire body, despite its massive size, radiating a fearsome crimson glow.
