a long
time since the whole school students gathered in front of the tower every Friday morning as a kind of event
.
The superiority and inferiority of a team, evident by the order of entering the tower.
Some show off and some envy.
Perhaps the academy is deliberately emphasizing rank.
The right timing and sense of inferiority were perfect stimulants to encourage students’ competitiveness and develop more rapidly.
It was, of course, Rebellion that won the honor of entering the first exploration in the second semester.
“I think there are more people than in the first semester.”
“The seniors must have been waiting without entering the tower first.”
Standing in the center of the four is Yu-Won Ban, who, as always, is loosening his uniform jacket.
Similarly, Ruchel, in her school uniform, was walking clinging to him, just like in the first semester.
However, the other two were different from usual.
It was usual for Light to cling to Ban Yu-Won as if he were competing with Ruchel, and Dok-Ko-Yeon to walk behind him and look at Light or Ruchel pathetically.
“Is Banyuwon really okay? I haven’t worked with that bug even once since school started.”
Now, which is rare now, Dokgo-yeon was walking in sync with Ban Yu-won.
Of course, the outfit was a black uniform that was no different from the first semester, but at the time it was given to students, it was processed with various enchantments and special materials, unlike school uniforms that boast defense power comparable to artifacts, it was not magically processed at all.
Even so, even though Dok-go-yeon fought throughout the first semester, I couldn’t see the time burned or torn, so it must be a ghost passed down from her hometown.
Maybe there is a unique concept that anti-yuwon doesn’t know…
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“…nothing. And if it’s light, you don’t have to worry. I promised that as a team member, I would follow my instructions and climb the tower until the special match. right light?”
Ban Yu-Won looked back and said.
Speaking of Light, who originally took the position of Dokgoyeon.
“joy. I don’t want to go along with this pointless thing, but a contract is a contract.”
Right now, he was walking as far away from the group as possible, and he was saying things that terminally ill patients would say.
It was the same as in the first semester wearing thick plate armor that was probably only for the royal family, but the difference was that the face exposed after taking off the helmet became quite masculine.
The figure of Light, with his hair cut short and shining blue eyes, was indeed a blonde prince who came out of a fairy tale.
“Aslight, right? It’s completely different from the first semester, isn’t it?”
“Did you not know? Well, it might be because it doesn’t show up in Rebellion videos these days.”
“I don’t know what happened during the vacation… but it’s cool.”
The outside galleries, who don’t even know how upset Wright is right now, just say that he’s become more manly.
The sound coming from around them made Ban Yu-won and the others feel like their stomachs were turned upside down.
This guy can’t be a man! Because I’m not a man!
“joy.”
Wright stretched out his chest and showed off his arrogance as if he deserved attention, and the rest of the group ignored it as if they had made a promise.
After a half-tortured time, the group finally arrived in front of the Tower of Babel.
The tower has not changed, but the Rebellion members are completely different from when they first entered the tower in the first semester…
“Are you ready?”
Yumina, who greeted them in front of the tower, cheered them on with a warm smile as always.
Light shyly turned his head away from her gaze.
“Go in quickly.”
“Yes, you should go in.”
I exchanged eye contact with Yumina and took a step inside the tower.
At about the same timing as Ruchel, who was hanging from his arm, and Dokgo Yeon, who was walking beside him at the same time.
Lastly, the moment when Light, who was wandering around as if he wanted to get away from them right away, was pushed by Yumina and took a step forward.
The world melted and moved them to Room 130.
“This place…”
Right before entering, Wright, who had expressed his dislike of it, was now looking around the 130-room Eden with an interesting look on his face.
Even before the vacation, he was the one who cleared room 130 with them, as if he had just entered Eden for the first time.
Ban Yu-won tried to ignore him and approached the fountain in the center of the room.
What overflows there is not clean water, but sake with a fragrant smell that makes your heart thump somewhere.
It was an all-around restorative blood wine that could only be obtained in Eden.
“The depth of blood attention is no joke, is it? I can make up for all the amount consumed during the vacation.”
“….”
Watching Banyuwon pull out the whole concept of blood liquor from the fountain and keep it, Wright put on an indescribable expression.
Dok-go-yeon glanced at the light and turned his gaze to Yu-won Ban.
“Once we’re done, let’s leave quickly. I want to reach 150 rooms within the weekend.”
“okay.”
“I’ll never really forgive you if you hold Wright’s ankle.”
“Ankle? under.”
Could it be that he’s studying a snoring pattern?
Light, who brilliantly responded to Dokgoyeon’s provocation with a snort that even felt craftsmanship, declared without hesitation, pulling out the holy sword and holding it.
“You’ll have to be careful not to grab my ankle.”
* * *
Room 131 of the Tower of Babel was a desert.
There were about ten bright suns, and the hot sand burned in response to stimulation with each step.
As you can tell by looking at the ten suns, it was not a naturally created environment.
Ten hells that even the body of a trained superhuman cannot endure.
Ban Yu-Won was convinced when he saw that the heat-resistance barrier created by speech magic was broken.
Don’t think of it as just heat.
From now on, the environment is clearly the enemy that is targeting them.
“I forgot that the tower was a fucking environment because I cleared rooms 100 through 130 so easily.”
“Lord, master, save me….”
Ruchel, who was very hot, worried that someone might not be an animal, leaned against him panting with her tongue out all the way, despite the fact that he put on a barrier.
It’s very cute, but sticking together in a situation like this only makes it hotter.
“Use the beast’s inner strength! I didn’t teach you martial arts to exchange for candy!”
On the other hand, Dok-go-yeon maintained a calm complexion even though she refused Ban Yu-won’s barrier to put on her, thanks to her internal energy, which rotates fiercely inside her body to maintain her body temperature and block the intrusion of heat.
The reason why Ban Yu-Won, whose heat-resistance barrier was pierced, is calm is because she uses internal energy just like her.
Yuwon-gong’s energy was also a universal energy that could change into anything, and if it was mixed and operated with the appropriate cool air, there was no need for an air conditioner.
“I’m doing it… my energy…”
On the other hand, as a nine-tailed fox, Ruchel deals with two attributes, including the power of flame and the newly awakened power of thunderbolt.
Her internal energy is naturally based on that energy, so it seemed that she could not protect herself from the heat, even though it would be strengthened in this environment full of heat.
Just as if a cobra that handles deadly venom dies without fail if bitten by another cobra…
“It can’t be helped.”
Ban Yu-Won took the ring of seal from his hand and put it on Ruchel’s hand.
“Used to seal the heat. The sealed heat can be released later when you deal with the flames.”
The Ring of Seal is a high-ranking artifact that is at the top of all the artifacts obtained by Ban Yu-Won from the Tower.
In the meantime, thanks to Ban Yu-won’s diligent addition to the concept of sealing, the depth of the seal has now risen to 600, and thanks to that, with a little magical power, the invasion of heat can be blocked at the source.
“master…!”
Ruchel put it on her ring finger, which Ban Yu-Won had put on her index finger, and clung to him with sparkling eyes.
There was no change in sticking either way.
Dokgoyeon clicked his tongue.
“Beast, did you get a disease that would kill you if you didn’t stick to it every time something happened? I think I will become hotter.”
“Hey, this much fuss.”
The light pattern has increased by one.
I don’t know if it’s because of the holy sword, but he didn’t shed a drop of sweat like Dokgo Yeon.
Then Light spoke with Ruchel and the ring on her hand.
“It’s like relying on things because you can’t overcome this heat.”
“You who holds the holy sword said that?!”
I don’t know who’s inside Light’s body right now, but his head looks worse than Light’s.
At least Light knew at least what he was being swayed by!
“Ha Seonggum is one body with me. There is no need to distinguish between me and the Holy Sword.”
Light’s pattern increased by another.
Ban Yu-won gave up tackling him any further and decided to explore the room.
Usually, in deserts like this, the main pattern is for giant scorpions to appear and attack from the seemingly empty sand floor, but taking the role of such a natural idea, you can also expect a pattern of enemies appearing from the sky… “I can’t feel anything yet.
”
During vacation, Ban Yu-Won learned the sword and evolved into Yu-Won-Gong, and was able to read and react to all concepts in real time, but if the tower changed faster than his reaction speed, there was no way to use his hands.
“I don’t think it’s a trick room, but…”
“There must be a possibility of a chain room. It is a pleasure.”
An environment that tests the limits of the body and mind, the scale of a huge room that they have never experienced before.
With these conditions created, it would be unbelievable if it ended with just one room.
It’s common for other first year students to have never experienced even a trick room, let alone a chain room, but Rebellion has already gone beyond the standard for a first year.
When they realized that the environment they were in was not easy, all the members, including Ruchel, who was laughing while looking at the ring, tensed up and felt moderate tension.
Regardless of whether or not you have worked hard throughout the vacation, TOP will not take care of the student’s situation and will test you as you please.
“As expected, it comes from below!”
Sensing the concept of a very large scale rising from the floor, Banyuwon manifested the concept of leap and flight and jumped up and shouted.
The next moment when Ruchel and Dokgo-yeon jump together as if they were waiting for his words.
The desert is off.
“her…?”
Dok-go-yeon let out an inexplicable voice.
As she looked down, all she could see was a black hole.
Ban Yu-won, who belatedly figured out the identity, shouted again.
“It’s a whale!”
“So that’s a whale’s throat…?”
Looking at the huge black hole that was a hundred meters in diameter, Dok-go-yeon was stunned.
For a moment, I thought what it would be like to throw a living giant down my throat, but fortunately I didn’t say it.
Ruchel, who had pulled out all nine tails and spun like a propeller, floating in the sky without difficulty, narrowed her eyes and looked at the whale that appeared above the desert.
“Maybe the Tower of Babel thought we would have a hard time if we let out a huge monster?”
“Stop comparing the Tower of Babel to third-rate game developers.”
“…But what about the lights?”
At Dok-go-yeon’s words, Ruchel looked around with a sound, but of course he was nowhere to be seen.
“It’s scary to say these dirty words, and it’s a nuisance again…!”
“No wait.”
As Dokgoyeon widened her eyes and tried to descend toward the whale, Yuwon Ban grabbed her.
It was because he read the flow of unusual concepts while searching the surroundings with the prayer sword after listening to her words.
“Leave it, Banyuwon. No matter how much we hate to look at it, if the bugs are retired, we have to leave without moving… hm?”
Dokgoyeon must have sensed it too, so she closed her mouth and looked down at her feet.
The whale, which opened its huge mouth wide and leaped to devour the party, finally failed to complete its purpose and was seen diving back into the sand.
No, to be exact, he lost his balance right before that and rolled on the sandy floor, causing a roar and an earthquake.
“no way?”
The moment after carefully memorizing the magic spell.
The whale’s body shattered and a blue light gushed out!
[I got 50 Shakyong(沙鯨). It is the concept of a higher creature that humans cannot possess.]
Literally a sand whale.
What kind of higher creature is this?
Since the monster was dead, Ban Yu-Won, who reflexively reached out and retrieved the concept, was able to confirm the figure of Light appearing among the corpses of the disappearing monsters.
It is unbelievable that he went in and out of the belly of a whale.
“…huh.”
Light looked up at the half-yuwon party floating in the sky, tilted the corners of his mouth and smiled, adding another pattern.
Ruchel opened her mouth and said quietly next to Ban Yu-won, who desperately stopped Dok-go-yeon, who was furious with his attitude, from trying to activate martial arts.
“…Couldn’t the current light be better than the original light?”
To say without hesitation what everyone had been thinking about but deliberately never uttered!
Ban Yu-won shuddered, but couldn’t bear to deny it.
However, at the same time, it also meant that the level of light being ‘eaten’ by the holy sword was more serious than at the beginning of the first semester… In just one day,
the party succeeded in breaking through to 140 rooms.
