Chapter Title: Killing All Seven at Once
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The colony lord, divided into a total of seven.
The way to slay the colony lord.
It was to kill all seven colony lords simultaneously.
"This one will reveal the positions of the seven colony lords."
"Ah, yes! I'll create some guiding light spells for you!"
At Havel's words, Elasia shot her hand up eagerly.
She looked quite adorable in her childlike form.
But the calamity and mana radiating from her astonished everyone.
"Causing a ruckus right after arriving. What the hell did you do in that short time?"
Fyodor asked incredulously, his hands clasped behind his head.
It had only been a few hours since they crossed through space into the city.
Since Havel had dashed out at light speed,
all three of them had taken quite a while trekking before finding the city.
"Nothing much."
He'd just worked to clear the floor, that was all.
Fyodor was flabbergasted by Havel's casual response.
"More importantly, can't we fix these bodies?"
Baria chimed in, gesturing at himself.
He too was in the form of a small child, just like Havel and the others.
Naturally uncomfortable with the unfamiliar size, it chafed in every way.
Havel turned to Kaal.
"Ah, one moment. I'll revert you."
Kaal adjusted his spatial abilities as he spoke.
Baria and Fyodor's forms began to grow steadily.
Soon restored to adult size, the two finally looked relieved.
Kaal then fixed Elasia's form as well.
The Zero-grade agents gaped at her.
Even as a child, her beauty had stood out, but as an adult, she was beyond imagination.
"Heh heh, my beautiful body is much more familiar, after all."
Elasia smirked smugly, basking in their stares.
No one in Havel's unit had paid her looks much mind.
"Show-off."
As expected, Fyodor eyed her with exasperation.
While Elasia, her confidence restored after so long, bickered with Fyodor,
Kaal turned to Havel.
"Havel, you too."
"I'm fine."
Havel stopped Kaal, who had been about to undo his age.
"Isn't this part of our deal?"
They had agreed: Kaal would restore Havel's age after the colony lords were slain.
Kaal's eyes widened briefly in understanding.
Then he smiled and nodded.
"Got it."
A perfect Kaal response.
Havel regarded the Zero-grade agents.
They were heading to their deaths.
Yet no fear showed on their faces.
'Freddy's influence, no doubt.'
He could see why Freddy had selected them as Zero-grade.
Beyond their abilities, it was their mindset.
That must have been his top priority.
"Lord Havel, I've marked all the light spell positions."
As Elasia said, glowing orbs of light floated beside them.
Havel glanced at Kaal.
He nodded, grasping the intent.
"From now on, we'll teleport you all in at once."
Follow the lights, and they'd face a colony lord.
Combat would follow immediately.
All nine Zero-grade agents nodded.
"I'm counting on you all."
Kaal bowed his head, wishing them victory.
"Kirin, you're in charge of all communications. Handle the signal."
"Yes, leave it to me."
Kirin could bundle and transmit intentions.
Kaal entrusted him with the signal to slay the colony lords.
"Havel, you know."
"Yeah, I'll handle that one."
Kaal pointed to the colony lord on the moon.
From what Havel had glimpsed, it harbored the deepest calamity.
The others might risk their lives to touch it, but it was borderline.
This one was closest to the true body.
Only Havel could halt its flesh regeneration.
It had to be him.
"Going."
With Kaal's word, everyone's figures vanished simultaneously.
Dispersed to different locations.
Havel opened his closed eyes.
A space filled with black tentacles unfolded before him.
The colony lord's lair inside the moon.
The colony lord remained impaled on the Dawn Meteor Sword.
But its regeneration was no ordinary feat.
It was slowly devouring the Dawn Meteor Sword itself to recover.
A little later, and it would have fully regenerated, consuming the blade.
"Good thing I came."
The calamity pouring from it intensified.
This one was thrashing about.
'Fyodor, Elasia, or Baria couldn't have handled it.'
This was essentially the real master.
Havel gripped the Dawn Meteor Sword's hilt and infused power.
The regenerating flesh tore apart once more.
Witnessing it, Havel plopped down right there.
His job was done.
Now, just wait for the others to fell their colony lords.
Then, a sensation stirred in Havel's mind.
Kirin's communication ability.
"Yeah."
Havel's reply brought Kirin's relieved voice.
The distance to the moon must have factored in.
Then, images projected before Havel's eyes.
Six split screens.
"That's plenty."
This would let everyone sync perfectly.
Havel praised Kirin's ability and scanned the screens.
All were charging toward their colony lords along the light trails.
"How long has it been since I just waited and trusted?"
He hoped for their smooth victory.
Havel wished briefly.
The six colony lords split from the true body.
Compared to ordinary ones, they were certainly weaker.
But that weakness was relative only to the body.
To Zero-grade agents, they were unfathomable dimensionals.
Ironclad and Fire Fox.
The pair now stood before one such colony lord.
Oblivious to the body's plight far away,
a massive wild dog-like form lay sprawled on the ground—one of the colony lords.
Red tentacles sprouted thickly from its body, hallmarks of its kind.
Its appearance was grotesquely vicious at a glance.
"Fire Fox."
In the tense standoff,
Ironclad spoke first.
His hand rested on his chest.
Zero-grade agents could burn their parasites and unleash full power for just one minute.
They had to fell the monster in that window.
To do so meant pouring everything into it.
"Your flames could be used if not targeting the colony lord."
"Yes, but it's just a perception gap. The output's still lacking."
Fire Fox had shone against the colony lord's attacks.
Yet her output fell short—that was reality.
"What if you target me instead?"
"Pardon? What do you mean?"
Fire Fox reacted with confusion to his next words.
They had come to burn their lives and slay the colony lord together.
But she hadn't expected him to ask her to attack him.
"Exactly that. I charge the colony lord, you unleash on me. Think it'll work?"
The aim was Ironclad.
But flames never burn just one thing.
The blaze spilling around would surely scorch the colony lord too.
That was his gambit.
"Hold on."
But Fire Fox couldn't endorse it outright.
"That sounds like you're telling me to fight without killing my dimensional parasite."
Sacrificing her life maximized output, regardless of target.
Yet now,
Ironclad was teaching her to fight without it.
She couldn't accept that.
But Ironclad's face remained stoically firm, as always.
"If we can spare lives, we should."
"That goes for you too, Ironclad."
"No. I can't face the colony lord while sparing mine."
Ironclad couldn't fight via perception gaps like Fire Fox.
His ability turned his body to steel.
"So, one more valid reason."
Ironclad stood.
Just then, the colony lord noticed them.
"You're the youngest Zero-grade agent."
"With Abraksas out there, does age even matter?"
The 11-year-old was fighting desperately too.
What did age have to do with it?
"That's why you're Zero-grade."
In that instant, Ironclad's hand thrust toward his heart.
Splurch!
No time to stop him—his hand pierced his chest.
The hand that hadn't struck the colony lord finally moved.
The parasite's mark tore away with his heart.
Simultaneously, steel enveloped his entire body.
Including the shredded heart.
His steel form gleamed under the light.
His innate ability promised his heart would hold longer than most.
His body's vitality surged to another level.
Confidence that he could do anything.
It radiated from him.
Even if this was his final blaze.
'Looks like the dimensional parasites were suppressing our power too.'
Such thoughts crossed his mind as he eyed Fire Fox.
Resentment flickered in her gaze.
He felt sorry for her.
But Ironclad hoped one more might survive.
He too had been saved by Freddy back in the slums.
The world needed more good souls.
Thud!
The colony lord rose then.
Red tendrils spilled from its maw as dozens of eyes gleamed.
Utterly repulsive, but its pressure was on another plane.
"My final foe."
Ironclad slammed his fist down, surging his full aura.
"I'll smash you with everything I've got."
To slay the colony lord and save the world.
That instant, one Zero-grade agent threw himself in.
