As he approached the ship, Caelum could see a massive hole punched straight through its hull, as if some overwhelming attack had pierced it completely.

Brushing aside the moss, the metal surface beneath was heavily corroded. Even a weapon once used to slay gods could not escape the erosion of time.

Under the Insight effect, faint traces of magic still lingered across the ship.

Caelum frowned.

"Wasn’t this supposed to be a god slaying weapon? Why is its magic tier only Tier 8?"

The spirits explained.

"This ship was only one part of a larger spell. In that battle, hundreds of ships like this were deployed."

That made sense.

Caelum could not help but marvel. The people of this world in ancient times were truly formidable.

"Can I take this ship with me?"

"If you like it, go ahead."

"It’s useless to us anyway."

"Take it!"

With that, Caelum did not hold back.

A Tier 8 magic construct. After reforging, who knew what it might become.

A hum filled the air.

Infinite Arsenal expanded and absorbed the massive ship. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

[Forge initiated]

[Forge complete]

In the next moment, a completely restored ship emerged from Infinite Arsenal, covered in dense magic arrays. The fusion of machinery and magic radiated overwhelming power.

[Godslayer Spear]

[Type: Vehicle Airship]

[Traits: Durable, Flight]

[Skill: Single use Divine Tier Magic Godslayer Spear. A miracle born of infinite wisdom that delivers judgment upon the gods]

As expected.

Above World Tier was Divine Tier.

With this, Caelum felt even more confident.

If he could reach the divine realm, he might already be hunting gods.

Using divine corpses as materials would surely produce even stronger equipment.

Just thinking about it excited him.

After wandering the forest for a while, he found nothing else of value. This place was simply a habitat for spirits.

"Alright, thanks for the hospitality. I’ll be going now."

After saying goodbye, Caelum returned to the tunnel and headed back.

"Bye!"

"Come visit us again!"

"See you next time!"

The spirits sounded reluctant to part.

Back in the mountains, Caelum exited the tree hollow and made his way toward Frontier Town.

But the moment he arrived, he noticed something was off.

The atmosphere was tense.

Everyone looked serious.

Adventurers and soldiers were fully armed, ready for battle.

He stopped someone.

"What’s going on?"

The man replied grimly.

"The Demon King’s army is marching on Frontier Town. We don’t stand a chance."

I see.

Caelum had returned at just the right time.

"Demon King’s army..."

He had almost forgotten this world had a Demon King.

Before, he had not dared to target such a figure.

Now, things were different.

He wanted to see how strong this Demon King really was.

A few excited adventurers passed by.

"Demon King’s army. I’m finally going to earn enough contribution points."

"Survive first."

"Fair."

Clearly, they were players.

A horn suddenly blared across the sky.

Outside the town, a massive black tide of demonic forces appeared, advancing like a tsunami.

"The Demon King’s army is here!"

"All forces, prepare for battle!"

"Mages ready!"

"Catapults ready!"

"Archers ready!"

War was about to begin.

"They’re fast."

Caelum smiled.

Under the astonished gaze of others, he spread his wings and flew alone toward the enemy army.

"What is he doing?"

"Probably going to die."

From above, Caelum estimated the army at over three hundred thousand.

A formidable force.

Frontier Town had no chance.

But that did not concern him.

He was here to restock Infinite Arsenal.

"Hm?"

Leading the army was a dark dragonkin with the strength of a Tier 8 mage. He frowned at the sight of Caelum.

"Griffin squad, take him down!"

"Yes!"

A group of griffins charged toward him.

Space rippled.

Caelum activated Infinite Arsenal without restraint. Hundreds of weapons hovered behind him.

"Consider this a greeting."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Hundreds of Tier 4 and Tier 5 magic weapons fired like a storm.

The griffin squad was wiped out instantly.

The dragonkin commander’s pupils shrank.

"Evade!"

Too late.

Waves of attacks rained down into the army, causing massive casualties in a single volley.

With such numbers, the average strength was low.

Most were only Tier 1 to Tier 3.

At best Tier 4.

Any hit from Caelum’s weapons was fatal.

And many carried additional effects, wiping out entire groups at once.

The scale and intensity were overwhelming.

The commander destroyed an incoming weapon but roared in fury and flew toward Caelum.

Boom!

He was instantly blasted back to the ground at even greater speed.

"Cough!"

Blood spilled from his mouth.

"So strong..."

More ripples appeared.

Hundreds of Tier 6 weapons emerged, aimed at the army below.

Caelum drew a bow and took aim at the commander.

"Next round ends this. You’re strong enough to deserve a personal gift."

He loosed the arrow.

It streaked like a meteor.

At the same time, the barrage of Tier 6 weapons descended.

Despair filled the commander’s eyes.

Boom!

The explosion swallowed him whole.

When the dust settled—

Not a single demon remained alive.

Over three hundred thousand troops wiped out.

By Caelum alone.

In less than five minutes.

The people of Frontier Town stood frozen in shock.

In the blink of an eye—

The entire army was gone.
