Chapter 303: Chapter 303: Falling Star Iron Colossus
The Falling Star Iron Colossus was not fifteen meters tall.
It was not twenty.
It rose from the depths like a moving cliff.
Its head emerged first, faceless and crowned with broken meteor rings. Then shoulders wider than fortress gates. Then arms made of layered star-iron plates, each plate scarred by ancient impacts. Its chest held a furnace-like core, but unlike the Sentinels’ silver cores, this one burned deep blue and gold.
The ravine itself responded to it.
Veins lit up.
Meteor fragments trembled.
The Command Weapon Embryo inside Qin Yuheng’s inventory shook violently.
A warning appeared.
[Command Weapon Embryo exposed to Colossus Heart Metal resonance.]
[Stability:
84% → 78%]
[Warning:
Resonance valuable but dangerous.]
Qin Yuheng immediately narrowed the connection again.
The embryo stabilized at seventy-eight percent.
Not good.
Not disastrous.
The mission panel updated.
[Final Boss Appeared]
[Falling Star Iron Colossus]
[Level Equivalent: 78]
[Type:
Giant-class impact-law construct / star-iron sovereign]
[Abilities:
- Falling Star Impact
- Impact Memory Body
- Star-Iron Regeneration
- Ravine Force Command
- Heart Metal Resonance]
[Warning:
Repeated direct attacks may strengthen Impact Memory Body.]
Qin Mo read the warning and went silent.
Qin Yuchen’s expression was grim.
Qin Lian whispered, "It remembers attacks."
Qin Yuheng nodded.
The Colossus was not merely reflecting force.
It learned from impact.
Every strike against it would become part of its defense.
That meant the battle could not be won by repeating methods.
The Colossus lifted one arm.
The sky answered.
A falling star changed direction.
Qin Mo’s voice cracked.
"It can pull meteors."
The meteor descended toward them.
Qin Yuheng’s command field pulsed.
Scatter. Not backward. Along the wall.
They moved.
The meteor hit where they had stood and released a shockwave that carved a crater into the ravine floor.
The Colossus stepped forward.
Its foot landed.
Another shockwave.
This enemy did not need speed.
The ravine was its weapon.
Qin Yuheng’s first priority was survival and observation.
"Do not attack core yet. Test limbs with varied force."
Qin Yuchen used a low slash against the ankle seam.
The strike landed.
The Colossus shifted slightly, but the seam hardened immediately afterward.
Impact Memory.
Qin Lian attacked from shadow at a shoulder plate.
The shadow entry point sealed after her strike.
Qin Mo launched a force-reading needle.
The needle embedded, transmitted data for one breath, then was crushed by metal growth.
Qin Mo swallowed.
"It adapts locally. Hit the same place twice and it becomes worse."
Qin Yuheng considered.
Then they needed rotating attack points, layered tools, and a final strike using a method not previously shown.
The Colossus raised both hands.
The ravine walls glowed.
Metal spikes erupted from the ground.
Qin Yuheng moved through them with Void Thunder Shadow Step, but one spike grazed his side. Blood fell onto star-iron dust and hissed.
The Command Weapon Embryo pulsed again.
Not bloodline.
Blood.
Qin Yuheng’s eyes sharpened. He immediately sealed the droplet with thunder and destroyed the residue.
No blood resonance.
Not here.
Not before Level 1000.
The Colossus’s head turned slightly, as if disappointed.
Qin Mo noticed.
"It reacted to your blood."
"I destroyed it."
"Good. Please continue not bleeding on ancient metal giants."
Qin Yuheng agreed silently.
They needed to avoid letting the Colossus learn Qin bloodline resonance, even dormant.
The fight shifted.
Qin Yuheng drew the Colossus toward the basin where the Sentinels had fallen. There were impact sink formations and broken meteor rods already in place. Qin Mo could use them.
The Colossus followed slowly, each step creating danger.
Qin Yuchen and Qin Lian attacked only once per location. Qin Mo placed anchors that did not attack, only measured.
Qin Yuheng used different forces each time:
Physical body strike.
Compressed thunder.
Command field pressure.
Grounding seal.
Force deflection.
Empty feint.
He refused repetition.
The Colossus adapted, but not fast enough to everything at once.
Still, they were not truly damaging it.
Its regeneration repaired plates after each exchange.
Qin Mo shouted, "We need its Heart Metal exposed!"
"How?"
"Make it use Falling Star Impact three times! Its core opens to draw meteor force!"
Qin Yuheng looked up.
Three falling star impacts from that monster might kill them.
But there was no better path.
"Prepare sink field."
Qin Mo stared.
"I keep hearing impossible tasks today."
"Can you?"
"Yes, but I will complain."
"Complain while doing it."
Qin Mo began placing the largest formation of the floor.
A Triple Impact Sink Array.
It would not stop meteors. It would reduce shockwave spread and redirect part of the force into ravine veins.
Qin Yuheng had to bait three Falling Star Impacts into the formation zones.
The first was difficult.
He released Command Weapon Embryo resonance briefly. The Colossus’s chest core opened. A meteor shifted downward.
Qin Yuheng sealed the embryo and moved.
Impact.
The first zone held barely.
The Command Weapon Embryo stability dropped.
[Stability:
78% → 74%]
Second impact.
This time the Colossus predicted his movement and aimed ahead.
Qin Yuheng used Void Thunder Shadow Step, but the shockwave caught him. He crashed into a metal ridge, ribs aching.
The second zone held.
[Command Weapon Embryo Stability:
74% → 69%]
Warning red.
Qin Mo shouted, "One more but no more than one!"
The third impact would decide everything.
Qin Yuheng stood in the center of the final sink zone.
He opened the embryo resonance wider than before.
The Command Weapon Embryo hummed, almost like a challenge.
The Colossus’s chest core opened fully.
A massive falling star descended.
Qin Yuheng did not run immediately.
He waited.
Rightful time.
The meteor reached the final breath.
Then he moved.
The meteor struck.
The Triple Impact Sink Array screamed under pressure. Qin Mo vomited blood from formation backlash but held the array. Qin Yuchen braced him from behind. Qin Lian cut unstable resonance threads.
The shockwave sank into the ravine.
The Colossus’s chest remained open.
Heart Metal exposed.
Qin Yuheng charged.
The Colossus remembered physical strikes, thunder strikes, command pressure, and deflection.
So Qin Yuheng used something else.
The unfinished Command Weapon Embryo.
He drew it out, not as a complete weapon, but as a resonant spear-sword core wrapped in command aura.
He did not stab with bloodline.
He stabbed with command path.
Willing allies’ trust, war without crown, self-ownership, fulfilled command, clean exchange, living values—all converged into the embryo’s edge.
The strike pierced the exposed Heart Metal.
The Colossus froze.
For the first time, it made sound.
A deep metallic roar.
Qin Yuheng twisted the embryo and pulled.
A chunk of blue-gold metal tore free.
[Star-Iron Giant Heart Metal obtained.]
[Main Mission Objective acquired.]
The Colossus did not die.
Its core dimmed but began regenerating.
Qin Mo shouted, "We can leave after mission extraction!"
But the panel had not declared completion.
The Colossus still stood.
To earn SSS, they needed defeat.
Qin Yuheng resealed the heart metal and looked at the giant.
Its adaptation had slowed.
The removed Heart Metal created a permanent wound.
Now it could be killed.
He gripped the Command Weapon Embryo again.
"Then we finish it."
