Lesson 28. Flower viewing of ruin – 4
When Yumina first mentioned the word relic, Ban Yu-won thought it meant an artifact.
But no. It was a word for Relic.
“What’s the difference?”
“Artifacts refer to objects that possess magical abilities that have been created since the beginning of time. Relics belong to that subcategory, which refers to artifacts that are strengthened by the user’s thoughts. Why do they say that objects that have been used for a long time have spirits?”
When Ban Yu-won heard that, he paused.
The fact that things have souls means that most of the artifacts he possesses do not!
“Does it feel like the person with the ability dies and the soul dwells in the object…?”
“There are cases like that, but in fact, such genuine items are rare. In most cases, it is literally one person or several people using it for a long time through generations, and thoughts naturally dwell in it. Or, with a miraculous chance, an ego could be created in the artifact.”
The fact that objects that have been used for a long time are infused with thoughts is also in line with Japanese folk belief, Tsukumogami.
Korea is also a little different from tsukumogami, but since the story is handed down that goblins are born from old things such as brooms, pokers, and sandals, it can be said that all the imaginations of people in the past are there.
It’s not an artifact born with a soul, but a relic with a soul.
Banyuwon started to be interested in the rare artifact.
“Still, there is usually no big difference from other artifacts. Of course, in the case of relics left by strong talents, there are many cases where the performance is just as good or unique abilities that cannot be seen in other artifacts.”
“That alone is great. Isn’t that why the orcs started such a mess?”
“If you just get good artifacts, the number of orcs won’t grow that much. Besides, you’ve seen a classmate student, haven’t you? I even completely transformed the monster wave into an oak wave.”
Ban Yu-won nodded his head in agreement.
There must have been a reason why Yumina emphasized the part called ‘relic’ in the first place.
“Orcs are a race that is naturally gifted with a strong sense of inspiration. Should I say it’s easy to get possessed by ghosts? They have a knack for interacting deeply with thoughts embedded in objects and amplifying their power. It means that they are a race optimized for dealing with Relics.”
“…That’s why the professor was shocked to see that the orcs had relics.”
Psychometry is the ability to read the memories of objects.
Orcs probably go one step further and have a knack for dealing with the history built up by objects through contact with evil thoughts.
In fact, there were several novels and cartoonists on Earth who dealt with similar psychic powers.
“Then you could also call it spiritual power.”
“Exactly. So, in dimensions connected to spirits, orcs are usually excellent elementalists.”
They already have excellent melee combat power, but since they can even deal with spirits, I wondered if it would be okay to call them the strongest race at this point.
It is truly ironic that he was put in a position where he was corrupted into a monster and subjugated because of his natural ferocity along with his many strengths.
“No, wait a minute. I knew that an orc who obtained a relic would become very strong, but in the end, this phenomenon was not explained.”
“It’s not just the Relic’s performance that Orcs can enhance. Communing with the Relic has a great effect on the body and mind of the Orc himself. In particular, their spiritual power is greatly amplified, and this amplified spiritual power allows them to exercise absolute dominance over their own people who have less spiritual power than themselves.”
Ban Yu-won nodded, recalling the countless orcs moving in unity like an army behind the orcs running across the land carrying huge swords.
A corps controlled by one absolute From the first time I saw it, it felt different from the monster wave somewhere, but it was like that.
“Intuitively speaking, it’s like being an Orc Lord.”
“That’s right, I’ll give you a plus!”
It’s just a pity that they’re not at the academy right now.
“The scale varies greatly depending on the performance of the Relic, but the one we saw earlier was a medium-sized product even if it was not good. Even worse, the birth of the Orc Lord coincided with the monster wave. In this case, as we have seen, the monster wave is transformed into an oak wave under the influence of the Orc Lord.”
What is a monster wave? It is an infection wave that turns everything with mana into a monster.
However, the orc’s spiritual power, greatly enhanced by obtaining a relic, also affects this infection wave!
If you think about it in reverse, wouldn’t it mean that the infection wave is a power related to the soul?
Didn’t you hear that when you talked to Selon during the last wave in Room 39, you wouldn’t be affected by the infection wave if your soul was of a high level or if you had already given your soul to someone else like Ruchel?
“The phenomenon where an Orc Lord who obtained a Relic transforms a monster wave to create a large army of Orcs is called an Orc Wave. The birth of a Lord who dominates a million units of Orcs is rare enough to be listed in textbooks, so why did such a thing happen in the F-class dimension…
” .”
After conveying the seriousness of the situation to the Kingdom, the group sees them panicking and panics, and concludes that these people will not be of any help. was watching
Watching the minister, Ban Yu-won, who had heard all of Yu Mi-na’s kind explanation of the situation, suddenly became curious and asked a question.
“By the way, professor, isn’t it against the principle of special activities to borrow your magic and check the war situation?”
“This is a very new story, a classmate student. The moment you encounter the Orc Wave, your first special activity is over. This exceptional case would be impossible to deal with even if all the other first-year students were brought in, not just you.”
I don’t think this will be the case if there are a few more strong players like Ortima and Aire.
Ban Yu-won thought about that, but soon realized that they were also talented beyond the category of first graders, and shut up.
“Hmm. I am a little puzzled.”
Dokgoyeon, who was quietly looking down at the orc group, tilted his head and said,
“There is such an overwhelming number of people, why are they running in a straight line without besieging the kingdom from all sides? Are you incapable of assessing the situation? The orcs we met in the previous tower weren’t that ignorant.”
“That’s probably because the Orc Lord was born not too long ago. The Legion’s cohesion isn’t strong enough to execute complex orders yet. That is why the Orc Lord runs at the head of the pack and leads them all.”
In fact, when the scale is that large, there is no need for small tactics or strategies, Yumina added.
To put it bluntly, without Rebellion, the orcs would have marched there and trampled on the kingdom without any problems, reborn all humans as orcs, and marched with them to the next country.
…What if a freshman other than Rebellion had been assigned to this dimension? Wouldn’t Professor Jeong follow up as a leader and just get killed by those orcs?
When I thought so, my hairline became soft.
“Hmm.”
Dok-go-yeon, who had been watching the orcs, especially the road, drooled again and narrowed his eyes.
Then, all of a sudden, I muttered.
“If I drop the living giant in the middle.”
“No suddenly? You mean you were aiming for that bit of fun…?!”
“If I repeat throwing and retrieving, I think we can quickly reduce the number of Orcs and widen the gap between the Lord and the soldiers.”
Banyuwon imagined a huge golem flashing in the east and west and crushing the orcs.
If he didn’t die in the middle, there couldn’t be such a perfect plan.
The key to the plan she said was probably the containment of the Orc Lords and other Orcs.
Relying on the words that his dominance is not yet firm, he intends to properly disrupt the Legion.
“Isn’t that plausible? It’s a mass weapon that can be freely retrieved and re-thrown. It couldn’t be more reassuring in such a wide environment.”
I don’t know, but if you look at the depth of the core concept of the living giant, it’s sure to go over 1,000. If it falls on the head of the half-yuwon, he’s not confident that he’ll be safe, so how can the orcs do it!
In fact, it seemed that hundreds of thousands of Orcs would be able to do something even if the legion was scattered and sleeping and a huge mountain rolled across the battlefield.
“However, if this happens, I will not be able to deal with the Orc Lord. Can you do a semi-recreation?”
Saying that, Dok-go-yeon stares at Ban Yu-won.
The fact that she threw the words at Banyuwon, not Wright or Ruchel, made it easy to guess her intentions.
Ban Yu-won smiled and replied.
“It’s good. Rather, it’s a car I’ve been curious about, whether it’s a Relic or what. I’ll lend you Eve to try. Eve will help you move freely in the sky.”
“Sissysit!”
Despite showing a somewhat dissatisfied appearance at the thought that somehow it seems that she is more helpful to others than a semi-yuwon these days, Eve eventually completed her transformation smoothly.
Its form is none other than Lilith itself before becoming a metal egg.
If Eve borrowed a little bit of Yumina’s power, it would be easier and simpler for Eve to run around the battlefield and carry out the operation to throw the living giant, but since she had already embarked on a special activity, she wanted to solve the situation without her help.
“Hmm… good. Please take good care of me, Snake.”
—Eve
replied with a very dissatisfied engine sound.
Dok-go-yeon didn’t care and got on top of Eve, but instead of sitting properly, she gathered her legs to one side and sat down.
I laughed at the fact that his modest appearance did not really suit her, but seemed to suit her oddly.
“Help Tike Dokgoyeon.” ―I
was a little relieved after attaching Tike, who could float in the sky above
Yuying and observe the battlefield, and provide support with projection at any time, to Dokgoyeon.
“Yuwon-ah, are you okay?”
Talking between Ban Yu-Won and Dok-Ko-Yeon, and finally, when Dok-Ko-Yeon got on top of Eve, who had transformed into Lilith, and looked like he was really going to carry out the operation, Yumina, like someday, forgot her usual concept and began to seriously worry about Ban-Yu-Won.
“As I said before, this Orc Wave is far beyond the level of the F-class dimension. And that’s the same even if you look at the strength of that individual Oak Lord.”
“I know.”
Perhaps this is what Yumina wants to say.
That Orc Lord is stronger than you, so I hope you don’t do anything stupid.
“are you okay. Rather good.”
However, Ban Yu-won not only guessed that, but rather knew it, so he thought Dok-go-yeon had made such a suggestion to him.
‘I’m guessing you’re trying to hit him with swordsmanship. He knew that I was getting nervous because I couldn’t create swordsmanship, so he gave me a chance to be stimulated.’
The Relic sword that the Orc Lord obtained at just the right time.
Since it was a great artifact that created an army of 1 million Orcs, there must have been something to learn from the fighting skills of the Orcs who handled it.
‘Truly true master…’
Wherever I look, the battle with the Oak Road would be the most fun, but how could Dok-go-yeon not respect him for giving it up and going ahead with the troublesome operation himself?
Looking at the back of Dok-go-yeon, who started to run through the sky on Eve, he saluted only in his heart, then looked back at the party and said.
“Would you like Light Ruchel to stop the other Orcs so that the Orc Lord and I can fight one-on-one?”
“…I would do that as much as I could, but half of the expression makes me feel bad.”
“I am a little jealous.”
Light and Ruchel nodded to his request in the end, even though they put on a puzzled expression.
But, on the other hand, where was the element that would make Ruchel jealous?
―Kuuuuuuuuuuuu!
right at that moment.
A roar that completely erased all the thoughts of the party hit the area.
“Wow…”
“Looking at it again, it’s absurd. The fact that such a monster appeared in Room 39, and the fact that student Dok-go-yeon tamed the monster.”
“Awesome mass weapon.”
In the middle of the battlefield, a huge mount golem roughly hundreds of meters high and about that wide fell down.
Greatly agitated by natural disasters, the Orc Corps stops running and distorts the ranks in an instant. No matter how few they catch, thousands of them seem to have died.
“It’s like dropping a rock on a swarm of ants… No, it’s nothing.”
It would be difficult to recover all of them intact since Banyuwon did not intervene directly and the distance was far, but in fact, even if only 100,000 of the 100,000 orcs were properly collected, it would have been a jackpot.
“Then shall we go too?”
Ban Yoo-won looked at Yumina after seeing Dokgo Kite retrieve the living giant and fly back into the sky despite the attacks flying here and there.
She sighed helplessly and nodded at him.
“I really can’t help it… If I think it’s dangerous, I’ll step in right away, so can’t I get angry?”
“Professor, what the hell is your class like?”
“Well, sister?”
“What a conscience… uh uh uh!”
When Yumina lightly waved her hand, the light, which had tackled Yumina, was blown towards the ground in order.
The destination is at the forefront of the Orc Corps.
It was in front of the Orc Lord, who was struggling to control the Orc Corps, which had been disorganized by the rampage of the living giants.
