Lesson 25. Missing you when you get far away – 6
The structure of the bracelet analyzed by Yuwon Ban is like this.
First of all, all the information that can be checked through the general climber’s status window is dummy data.
The bracelet does not have the ability to create a protective shield or enhance attack power.
It was just that the elite who appeared wearing bracelets acted convincingly.
However, only the magical power possessed by the artifact was real, and this was used to activate the teleport.
‘To be precise, it’s not mana, it’s telekinesis. It’s not magic, it’s space movement, it’s telekinesis.’
So, unlike magic, the coordinates were quite abstract, but even so, he could not hide his identity from Ban Yu-Won, the owner of the Babylonian code.
Now, what Banyuwon is trying to do here is the method of teleportation.
Originally, when this artifact is equipped, teleportation is performed at that moment, but by slightly changing the condition, teleportation is performed just by touching the artifact.
In the process of doing so, modify the artifact so that it does not move along with it, even though it would originally move with it.
“If you throw this thing and hit it, the infinite power weapon that will send the enemy directly to the constellation Jergel is complete! Given the concept of return and control, it is easy to retrieve and re-throw. All of this configuration is an amazing price of only 39,000 won…”
―You are very excited that the one that consumes your power right now is a constellation…!
The key reason Banyuwon calls this ‘infinite power’.
It is because the constellation is in charge of all causes and karma, including the magic power consumed in space movement and the conditions for activation.
It ignores the shift of the tower and jumps over the walls of space to move, but there is no way that ordinary magical power or telekinesis can handle it.
In other words—this bracelet is nothing more than a terminal that extracts the power of the constellation Jergel!
“And Yergel can’t directly affect this room, so it can’t be stopped or retrieved…”
―He must have been convinced that by touching it in Room 34, he would activate space movement. He couldn’t have imagined that not only would he not be hooked there, but he would bring it up to Room 39 and change its function to use it… But, even if it was the
same constellation for a while, Selon seemed to sympathize with Jergel.
―I wonder how many I can send. it wouldn’t be infinite.
No, it just seemed full of the spirit of experimentation.
―Deindeindeindein――!
Just as Banyuwon put the finished weapon in his arms and held the cellon in his hand, the great bell installed on the tall watchtower rang loudly.
Finally, the carapace began to come into sight.
It was literally a wave of monsters.
The sight of a swarm of carapaces swarming through the dense forest of trees on the hill that rises halfway up the mountain where the city is located was terrifying enough to make even half-leavers who were fighting with a certain amount of confidence flinch.
“Don’t be scared. We’re on a high wall! Take a good look at these damn walls!”
“Monsters to kill, you guys can’t kill us! We’re on the wall!”
“Get off the land! We are on the wall!”
Soldiers deliberately speak harsh words to raise the spirits in order to cheer up ahead of a near-death battle.
Everyone was clinging to bows and arrow ballistas or pots of boiling oil or carrying mountains of sharp stones over the walls.
‘It’s like being in a real war movie. I think what Wright said makes a little sense.’
Though he burned the letter without hesitation because he wanted to skip the quest, it was not a lie when he told Light that he wanted to reduce the sacrifices of innocent people.
You’ll get a better reward if you don’t die as much as possible.
‘Honestly, rooms 31 through 33 were okay. … Compared to other teams, it’s not necessarily that, but it was okay for our team anyway. However, overcoming the Constellation’s intervention in Room 34 and discovering the deceit would have been well received, and burning the letter without delivering it would have been a good attempt. As long as I can break through Room 39 with good grades…!’
Ban Yu-won took a deep breath and listened to the staff.
“Now, let’s go to a bigger room.”
– I like the light.
He was going to hit the center of the group of carapaces with the volcanic explosion that he had learned through Yumina’s careful education… But before that, Selon’s voice stopped him.
―It’s light magic in Monster Wave. It wasn’t that those who dealt with light magic were given preferential treatment for nothing.
“why…? Could it be a wave?”
-that’s right. Light magic suppresses the infection wave’s activity. Since it eliminates the monster strengthening phenomenon that only occurs in waves, it’s better to hit the center with light magic injected with as much magic as possible.
Light magic wasn’t a higher level magic than elemental magic for nothing!
Ban Yu-Won immediately wondered, ‘Then what about cancer magic?’ The thought rose to the bottom of my chin, but I put it aside.
Because if I said this, it would definitely be a foreshadowing of something!
“Okay then to the light.”
An orb of light appeared in the air.
Since it was impossible to blind the soldiers guarding the castle wall, the outer surface of the sphere was temporarily sealed with a shell of weak light.
And it fills the inside with intense light.
―Have you gained a lot of magic lately?
‘When are you comparing it to?’
Ban Yu-Won snorted and focused all of Celon and his own dizziness—mana into the sphere of light.
And the moment it reached the critical point, he threw it at the group of carapaces without hesitation.
“It’s light… the magic of light!”
“My God, the mercenary was a mage! That’s also the Mage of Light!”
Seeing a huge sphere of light fall into the middle of a group of monsters under Ban Yu-Won’s guidance, the soldiers are shocked to discover the identity of his magic.
But it’s too early to be surprised.
The orb, which rushed in at high speed, was wary of it and was attacked by the crustaceans who were trying to intercept it in advance, but withstood it without exploding, safely reached the center of the group… and exploded!
―Suaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
it was like the sun was about to burst.
The sight of the sun descending on the ground splitting into tens of millions of fragments, exploding and engulfing the entire area–if you add a little bit of exaggeration, it would seem that even a god had descended in that place.
―Now you can create a scene like this… No, this is strange! A child who has only been introduced to magic for less than two months! No matter how much I help you!
‘I was impressed, I was shocked, you are very busy too.’
―Quhaaaaa!
―Gooooooooo!
The screams of the crustaceans overlapped several times, as if they were listening to a chorus.
However, Ban Yu-Won was more shocked than the direct destructive power of his wide-area magic.
The infection wave is the core of the phenomenon that induces the monster wave.
As soon as it was disturbed, abnormal movements of the monsters began to appear.
‘It’s real…’
―Then would I lie? Before that, do meditation or whatever you do to recover your mana. I don’t have time to relax.
Celon must have seen many battlefields like this when he was a human. Even being surprised by his magic, he urged his actions with calm words for a while.
Ban Yu-won silently nodded, sat down, and started breakfast.
―Suddenly
―Keeeeeeeeeeee!
Of course, that doesn’t mean I haven’t done anything in the meantime.
The 12 heavy rain swords floating in the air were moving instead!
There is a limitation that you can’t move well during the fortune-telling meal, but the level of difficulty itself is not high, so it wasn’t difficult to control the sword that is connected to you by resonance!
“The sword is flying… The wizard is controlling it! He must have remodeled the walls too!”
“Great mage, great mage. I never thought someone like that would come to save our city…!”
“We can’t be losing either. It’s up to us to protect Eraton! While the monsters are out of their minds, pour as much as you can to reduce their numbers!”
“Oohhhh!”
The spirited soldiers launched an attack on the carapace.
Due to the monster wave, each one of them was a carapace beast that was much stronger than the soldiers, but now it was weakened by light magic, and the war situation was unfolding infinitely in favor of the human side only with arrows that were not supposed to pierce.
“The sword wielded by the great mage protects us. Do not be afraid and face it!”
“Get off the land! We’re on the wall!”
Are you continuing with that?
* * *
The situation was the same for the other walls the Rebellion party was in charge of.
Even if multiple shifts occurred and the level of difficulty increased significantly, the strength of the Rebellion members exceeded that level.
Didn’t they already defeat the Descent of God once last week?
There is a difference between individual and group, but they were stronger than enough even considering that.
In addition to that, despite the fact that Ruchel gained even greater power after gaining a beast of prey.
“mercenary? Are you such a delicate girl? I don’t think I’m wasting my life for
nothing …” It’s a waste, it’s a waste.”
―From the outside, it didn’t seem that strong.
It’s something that doesn’t happen very often in Union… Is there still a savage prejudice that judges people by their appearance?
Ruchel, who felt that there was no need to mix in this space, as well as her own fighting style, jumped over the wall at all.
“Suck!”
“Oh oh oh oh!”
“Are you trying to commit suicide?”
It is a wall that has already been raised due to the concept of anti-yuwon.
It was not unreasonable to think that she was going to commit suicide when she saw Lucille jumping without any safety gear.
However, during the fall, she more than tripled in size in the air, and in an instant, she became half-hydrated and landed comfortably on the ground.
―Kiyi
— Kuo Oh Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
In the eyes of the crustaceans advancing toward the fortress, it was no wonder that she looked like delicious prey.
Pulling out the claws of blue lightning from both hands and feet, Ruchel raised a wild voice that couldn’t be defeated by them and howled loudly.
“Auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
The battle howling of the Beasts raises the ferocity of you and your allies and lowers the enemy’s morale.
This was the first time Ruchel had ever succeeded in a real battle howl, although he had cried before battle to cheer himself up.
‘It’s thanks to the owner.’
Connected to him, not only was he able to control his heart, but he was also able to gain the power of a giant.
Thanks to that, sign language, which I had already given up on, became possible to some extent, and there was no need to be ashamed of myself anymore.
‘So- I will dedicate this battle to the Master!’
Aaaaaang-! She cried out again and kicked the floor.
He swung his claws of blue lightning as he entered the gap between the carapaces scared away by her howling!
―Kwajijik
―Kiaaaaaaa!
“Kyaaaaaa!”
The carapaces, which destroyed a house with their front paws and withstood even the bombardment with their hard carapace, were torn like paper by Ruchel’s claws.
Not one or two, but all the monsters that attacked her were split in half and died without lasting even a second.
As she was sitting in front of the castle gate, the whole wave of monsters rushing through the gate came to a standstill.
“A freak monster?”
“Could I be infected? No, isn’t it like that when you see him fighting monsters…”
“Anyway, now is your chance! Attack, attack!”
As the gigantic beast Ruchel roared through the enemy camp like a storm, the soldiers also launched their own attacks.
Even if each individual is not strong, it is not impossible to kill the crustaceans when they are in a group.
Moreover, as long as there was a movement to check the crustacean, Ruchel, who was rampaging in the field, could double and triple.
“Auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
Ruchel battle howled again and increased the size of her fingernails.
Her feral magic was imbued with the blue sparks that burst forth.
‘They said I could pull out the aura of lightning when my arms completely matched myself…!’
Recalling Dokgoyeon’s words, she bounced back from her spot.
As she roamed the battlefield, burning and slicing everything she encountered, her appearance was already like a streak of lightning.
* * *
Meanwhile, what was Wright doing?
―Doo-doo-doo-doo
-doo ―Kuaaaaaaaa!
“I think I’m so excited, but Eve…”
After a long time, I was able to play an active role, chasing after the excited Eve and fighting the crustaceans.
Now, the guy took off the barrel of Tyche and made it longer and thicker, and changed into a machine gun with about four attached at the same time, and was madly firing magic bullets and sweeping away the group of crustaceans.
– Wow!
―Keek!
―Sissit, sissisit!
Eve’s multifaceted ability has completely risen as she devours the various concepts that Banyuwon has acquired and furthermore, she is able to follow the concepts that only she has through ‘resonance’.
The core concepts such as life and phantom beasts that he has are 400 at this point.
Compared to the crustaceans he is dealing with, it wasn’t a very high level, but Eve’s attacks were always critical hits, and the crustaceans’ The attack didn’t even touch Eve.
‘Just because the level is similar doesn’t mean that the strength is the same. It’s a phantom beast, so it’s awkward. They’re from different backgrounds.’
―As
I thought about the thoughts that suddenly came to my mind when I saw such a guy, I realized anew that these are words that only residents of higher dimensions would say.
No, but this guy was a bat at first, so I feel like a self-made man… In the end, if there wasn’t a banyuwon, Eve’s cataclysm wouldn’t have happened, right?
He made ordinary objects into artifacts, gave the artifacts the concept of creatures, and eventually evolved them into phantom beasts.
Eve was like a symbol of the miraculous power of anti-yuwon.
‘Eve started out as just an ordinary bat and became a phantom beast, and I’m still groaning like this even though I’ve been given dragon’s blood.’
―Kwajik
Maybe that is why he is more stimulated by the ability of the anti-yuwon.
I thought that if it were him, he might change my inferior self…
‘No that’s not it. Then it’s as if I’m only looking at Ban’s ability and trying to be friendly with him. Heck, what if Van misunderstood like that? Now we’ve managed to open up and become friends…’
– Kwaaaaang!
It is natural to be attracted to people with outstanding abilities.
However, not only is he reluctant to speak out about it openly, but he feels ashamed to confess that he wasn’t as good as he was.
More than anything, I hated being hated by him.
‘As expected – I’d rather not talk about my dragon’s blood. It sounds like you’re asking for help. I’m already receiving a lot of help…’
– Kwajijik! Wow!
‘Yes, because Aire is helping me too. I’ll say it after I’ve properly awakened the power of Yongin. In dealing with the holy sword… I said I would help from the beginning.’
-Suddenly! Suuu-!
Light sighed.
In the end, isn’t he just getting help from anyone?
And that’s not all.
Even this time alone, he tackled Ban Yu-Won’s actions as if he were nothing and questioned his intentions, so there was nothing to say even if his affection fell.
Anyway, since it was Wright’s rebellion, it could be done more calmly, but Ban Yu-Won, who thinks seriously and answers, is a really nice guy… After all, I didn’t want to be hated.
‘But it can’t be like this. Because I said that a proper friendship should be free of debt… So, shouldn’t I just give half as much as I received?’
―Quaaaaaang!
Light thought as he swung the spear containing terrible magic power and cut down the group of carapaces blocking his eyes.
So what can I give my friend?
“That young mercenary is amazing. How many carapaces have you been cutting by yourself?”
“Artifacts that shoot mana while moving alone are amazing, but… can a person like that really become the owner of an artifact?”
Occupied by deep thoughts and reflexively swinging his spear, he had forgotten the war before he knew it, but luckily, Eve, who was moving ahead of him, guided him straight, so he was able to clear the carapace at a speed comparable to that of Banyuwon and Ruchel.
* * *
Dokgoyeon opened his eyes and stood up.
I could feel the heavy vibration shaking the ground. It was clear that their exploration of the Tower of Babel was at a level
that was
incomparable to that of others.
A stone mountain that rose pointedly without knowing how high the sky always stood behind the city.
I don’t know what the monsters did on the other side, but right now magic was gathering at the center of the mountain and creating a nucleus.
‘It infects inanimate objects with a monster wave. It seems that the power of the constellation must have worked here as well…’
What do you call an inanimate object that has a magic core in its center?
it’s a golem
‘If this is toppled as it is, the situation will end at that moment. …As much as I can carve a mountain by myself, I hope my level goes up even a little bit this time.’
Dok-go-yeon watched as the stone mountain towering hundreds of meters gradually changed its appearance and evolved into a golem suitable for movement.
Defying the mountain alone, challenging the achievements that the Tower would certify—
“If you think that it cannot be killed just because it is inanimate, you are very mistaken.”
The girl spewed out death with her whole body.
