Admission is for nothing (313)
Lesson 61. Innocent sinner –
Although a 3-dimensional line is called a ship for convenience, in reality it is no different from an independent dimension.
Unlike other dimensions whose coordinates are fixed, this dimension line can freely move inside the dimension wall and access countless other dimensions.
After being warned by Shati and Mira, who sensed that something was wrong, Lilith immediately tried to defeat the spaceship, but the dimension line sensed them and approached through the dimension wall, so they were trapped inside.
‘Of course I can’t go out, right?’
[I’m sorry, master…]
‘It’s okay, I decided to cheat on us, but what can I do? Even if he tried to go to Union, he must have approached somehow.’
Zenon was someone whose true intentions were unknown from the beginning.
All she knows is that she obeys the president’s words, that she is stronger than anyone except for the president, and that she handles the same annihilation magic as Shati.
And being the owner of a pseudospace imitating a tower…
―Come out.
Zenon’s chilly voice resounded like an echo in this wide space.
Lilith tried to hold on somehow, assuming that the party had been brought to this place because of herself, but the half-amusement, thinking that it would be better to go out rather than relying on Lilith’s defenses to stick together in a small place, summoned her to the inventory and went out with the group.
The dimension line―― The inside of the independent dimension was filled with dense magical energy.
I felt like an idiot for having climbed the dimensional line thinking it was a slightly wider spaceship before.
“ah.”
When they raised their heads, they could clearly see Zenon looking down at them from a high place.
Bright yellow pupils gleam in his pupils, which are dyed black even to the whites.
It was only then that the horns protruding from the temples and the wings sprouting from the back came into view.
“Could it be you, the first demon king…?!”
Did you talk about the first demon king of the Diavolo dimension while talking about the magic of extinction?
It seemed that Shati had always been suspicious of Zenon’s true identity.
However, Zenon, who was still looking down at Shati’s words in shock, reacted with a snort.
―I am not a demon. I just took away the demon’s horns and wings to wield this power.
“I beg your pardon?”
take away?
Regardless of whether that was possible, Shati bit her lip in astonishment that Zenon was hiding such a terrible fact.
It was at this moment that it became clear that Zenon was their enemy.
He slowly descended and approached, opening his mouth again.
―Do you know? everyone. The Tower connects to all dimensions, monitoring them, tearing away parts of the world in real time and incorporating them into itself.
Banyuwon had already guessed.
However, he had always thought that a part of the world, or ‘shards’, would only be taken from the world where the Tower was destroyed, but it seemed that was not the case when he listened to Zenon.
If so, more is explained.
In particular, why Dokgo-yeon’s dimensional Moorim obsessively forbids contact with the outer dimension?
Why did her dimension’s unique martial arts spread to other worlds…
―It’s a natural process of unity. The Tower will rise higher and the Union will become stronger.
“Then what about the other dimensions?”
-…however.
Zenon, frowning at Banyuwon’s refutation, continued as if he hadn’t heard.
―However, you, the president, started disrupting that perfect order.
“Ha, what’s the order…!”
As Banyuwon tried to refute again, Zenon’s horn flashed.
Then something black fell from the sky.
Ban Yu-won realized that it was targeting him and opened a barrier mixed with [Geumgang], but the barrier she encountered with it melted naturally like ice cream melts at room temperature–.
In the next moment, it was caught in the grip of Shati, who had reached out from the side.
―It’s amazing. Even someone far stronger than you wouldn’t be able to catch it with bare hands.
“is it so? There was such an advantage when dealing with the same magical power kyaha.”
It was Shati who smiled rather cheerfully, but everyone knew that she was furious.
Fiercely gripping the lump of annihilation magic she had captured, she opened her mouth.
“How is Professor Campanella?”
– not dead. she’s safe Just a little bit… yes, I got injured in the wind of a little rampage. He should be lying down in the temporary barracks built inside the Union Academy right now.
“…Aren’t you using them as hostages?”
-There seems to be a misunderstanding. Yes, it’s actually a misunderstanding. But I’m not malicious enough to hold my former fellow professor hostage.
Horns flash again.
This time, the black raindrops formed surprisingly close to each other, targeting only Banyuwon, and flying into it―― They collided with the blue lightning emitted by Ruchel.
-They’re just amazing. Even the bloodline of the Shinsoo is not funny to prevent destruction.
“Thank you for the compliment. I would be even more grateful if you let me out of this cramped place.”
Speaking sarcastically at her opponent, Ruchel leaned over and took a fighting stance.
I could feel the brains in her feet and hands roaring and venting their rage.
Even she, with her beastly intuition, would know how formidable an enemy Zenon was.
―As expected, you are dangerous. None of these… Before I met you, I didn’t have the power to defy order.
Both Shati and Ruchel are the ones who discovered the possibility that did not exist through the manipulation of the concept of anti-yuwon.
If you go a little further, the same goes for Asha, who has escaped fate and has the power of a true dragon.
―However, the president does not know that you are trying to destroy the order of the tower, and you are pretending to be a servant. It shouldn’t be. He is mistaken. The tower was perfect when he and I were the admins, but it’s not like that now.
It’s as if it’s been a taste of it so far.
Destruction began to pour in from all sides.
A crescent-shaped aura that drips from above like a guillotine.
An aura that blooms like poison smoke from below and tries to melt their legs first.
The energy that coalesces into a sphere and quickly flies in like a pinball to harpoon their bodies.
The party used their abilities to block them, but it was impossible to continue like this.
―The tower is fine as it is. I don’t like the variable called you. And even the great president…
“What do you want?”
―Like this, the eternal reign of the tower. Students who continue to climb the tower that they cannot climb and nourish it. And the sinners who quietly manage the dimensions on a leash.
Zenon opened his eyes wide and spread his arms.
The condensed annihilation mana at the tips of his hands filled all directions in an instant, forming a huge magic circle just like Shati’s power.
‘Dangerous–!’
In an instant, the world was dyed black, but the barrier created by Ban Yu-Won with the help of [Rebellion], [Stigma], [Red Flame], and [Sorcery] managed to block it and shattered.
“Heh heh heh…”
“It was really dangerous…”
“Yuwon, are you okay? policy!”
Inside the independent dimension that had returned to its original state, Zenon chewed his lips as he looked down at Banyuwon, who was gasping for breath due to the unreasonable exercise of power.
-It’s only one year. What am I supposed to think of you, who has grown to the level of blocking attacks with all my might in one year?
Zenon seemed to still have a lot of energy left, even if it was power, and Banyuwon felt like his heart and brain were burning as he created a shield that mixed many language concepts in a short moment.
I finally realized
Zenon was now jealous of him.
It is laughable to think that the vice-president of Union Academy, who is in awe of everyone who cannot read his inner thoughts, was actually such a child.
‘Come to think of it, even in the first semester, Zenon reacted differently when he saw me dealing with power in the pseudo space.’
I should have realized at that time, but I never dreamed that a person who could be the vice-president of Union was a person who moved with jealousy.
It’s not just that I’m jealous of him.
Blindly following the president, he may not have been pleased with the president’s interest in Ban Yu-won… Especially, the president’s blatant attitude in the second semester may have encouraged his unexpected behavior.
―In my opinion, I want to hold you for a long time and make you realize your level, but I don’t know how long Exodus will be able to hold you, so I’ll have to finish it soon.
“Whoever wants to.”
From Ruchel Asha Dokgo Yeon Mira Aire to Shati.
In a way, even against the girls, who could be said to have been caught up in this situation because of Banyuwon, and Zenon, who exuded the majesty of the absolute, he did not back down and stepped forward as if to protect Banyuwon.
―You don’t have a supervisor. All of them, including the descendants of the cheeky lizard, have powers they don’t like… but you alone won’t be able to change the tower. I want to see you.
“under.”
Asha snorted.
“Listen, listen, and you’re talking loudly about what you’re good at when you’ve been complaining like a child since earlier.”
Ban Yu-won admired Asha’s insight.
Or did he just figure it out because he was a kid himself?
―As you may have heard earlier, I do not enjoy persecuting innocent people. One classmate student is enough. You guys will only erase the memory and send it back intact. So…
“You can’t keep talking about a pierced mouth, Professor Zenon. My fiancé is already one with me. I consider the attack on Yoowon as an attack on me.”
“When did you get engaged?”
“The meeting is over.”
– I’m still young, so I’m not afraid. I don’t have time, so I’ll deal with you a little bit.
Zenon spread his wings wide, and an even greater pressure pressed the party down.
It really doesn’t work this way.
Although they went through a lot during the year, especially with the experience gained from defeating many strong enemies and ending with the Constellation in this expedition, they were a group that achieved growth close to transformation, but the gap with Zenon did not diminish.
‘…Wait, why? There’s no way it wouldn’t have decreased. I didn’t get this kind of feeling either against the head of a teenage family or against the Constellation.’
Ban Yu-wen shook her head as she desperately tried to probe him.
Well, if Zenon was only stronger than the previous head of Prominence and the followers of the constellation, there was nothing to say, but even taking that into account, the gap was too great.
Moreover, Ban Yu-Won killed the family head, once killed the Constellation, and once again grew up.
Isn’t it too contrived that such a semi-yuwon could not resist Zenon at all?
As if it was made up of lies…
‘Wait. make up?’
Thinking of it for a moment, Banyuwon quickly explored the surroundings.
The prayer sword, which was activated by mobilizing Mandok-an and Man-cheong-i, who had grown even more by seeing through the constellations, took control of the area in an instant and searched for what he wanted.
I don’t know if I didn’t know anything, but if I figured out the cause…!
―It’s okay.
It started raining all over the space.
A rain of destruction that melts away everything that has been seen before in school-wide special activities.
The banyuwon party was not easily affected by it as they were not monsters of a lower dimension, but the tricky thing about that was that it destroyed all concepts of the realm of rain.
In other words, it interfered with the search for the prayer sword.
“The head of the planning department is doing it alone again.”
“I tried to do it secretly and quickly, but it broke. Please cooperate. We have to keep it from raining.”
“I’ll try.”
“I guess I have to go too.”
Shati and Dokgoyeon, who are optimized to deal with extinction magic, stepped forward.
The mass of annihilation magic that Shati had captured had turned into a long, sharp spear, and she smiled as she displayed her powers on it.
“You know I can’t last long, right?”
“I will try to do it as quickly as possible. Please open.”
“Leave it to me. May I borrow a sword?”
The moment he heard that, Ban Yu-won was conflicted.
If he is as deeply connected to Dokgoyeon as he is to Ruchel, he could lend Requiem.
Simple is fine, so what should I do now?
Shall we kiss?
No, can I blow the opportunity I’ve been saving for the two of them for that reason?
Still, rather than putting the kite in danger…!
[There’s no way that woman will be able to hold the Requiem that is subordinate to her master with just a kiss.]
Lilith’s cold-hearted tackle made Banyuwon regain her sanity.
Apparently, he too was distracted by the appearance of a formidable enemy named Zenon.
When he handed over the beheader’s longsword, Dokgoyeon accepted it with a small smile.
“It is your favorite sword. I don’t think I’ll lose if I hold this.”
“I’m so anxious that I’m going to die, so please don’t talk about ominous things…”
The two men in combat readiness kicked into the air.
Zenon snorted and attacked the two with a mass of annihilating mana he created from all sides, but the two of them, who dared to discuss being the best among the party, did not dodge and swung their weapons to easily eliminate it.
―It might really kill you.
“There is no one more ridiculous than those who talk about death lightly.”
―If that is your wish!
A lump of energy in a black grid spreads at once and attacks the two.
Shati and Dokgo-yeon rush to Zenon again, tearing it apart with force.
“How about this, Professor!”
―Are you trying to surpass me with that power!
Just before the explosion from Shati’s authority struck Zenon, his annihilation magic attacked it, suppressed it, and then lightly stretched out the poison kite that surged from behind, and the arm bounced away.
As Zenon focused on dealing with the two, the raindrops became thinner and the room for the prayer sword to penetrate increased.
-plaguy…!
Even in the midst of this, Zenon took out his strength and attacked Banyuwon, but the remaining party by his side pulled it off.
Asha laughed with her teeth exposed as she removed the magic power of destruction with the Jinryongsword, which had regained its light before she knew it.
“It will happen too. It’s not something you can do alone with Lucille!”
“Were you caring about that again?”
“Haaaaaaaaa!”
After painting half of the wide space with black paint, the party erased it again as hard as they could.
Ban Yu-won stretched out his strength in each area where the paint was erased and repeated his search—and finally found what he wanted.
Zenon must have sensed it as well, and Dokgo-yeon, who was bothering him, said,
“Eve————!”
In fact, there was nothing to put into words.
The moment when Eve, who secretly moved across the space with her small body, bit off the orb that was hidden in the wide space.
The party was inside the dimension line.
“under.”
A fairly familiar space.
Of course, it was wide, but it wasn’t a space like space where there was nothing like the group fighting earlier.
The magical energy that had been infesting him also disappeared, and the horns and wings from Zenon’s head and back also disappeared without leaving a trace.
“Aww! what is this?”
Shati, who had bounced far away while trying to dispel the extinction magic that Zenon had extended, bumped her back against a metal wall that had suddenly formed and murmured in pain.
However, only Dokgo Yeon, who was facing weapons at close range with Zenon, felt his momentum diminish and realized what had happened so far and laughed.
“It was a pseudo space, right?”
A space modeled after a tower that spreads out in an extremely limited area due to the orb that the president and Zenon made together.
Within it, Zenon becomes a god, and students who have been granted authority can enjoy the power of the tower to their heart’s content.
The orb that created that miracle was now being crushed in the mouth of Eve, a member of the Banyuwon family.
“I was a little taken aback because I didn’t know that the orb could be moved, but I still believed the gap wasn’t that great.”
“――Tsk.”
Zenon clicked his tongue with an annoyed expression.
“It was supposed to be over in an instant.”
“Did you forget that I naturally exercised power over you in the pseudospace you created?”
“Somehow, despite the space I created, the output of power was strange. What a great ability. Thanks to that, it’s bothered me…”
Zenon shook his head as if he had no regrets despite the destruction of the orb that ensured his absolute victory, and continued, creating a wriggling black mass on his hand.
“The pseudospace was created to hide what I did, but the gap between us is still large. Now that I know your authority, it would be much better to fight here.”
The thing that was thrown was destroyed by Dokgoyeon’s sword attack.
In return, the longsword of the beheader also melted, and Zenon stretched out both hands to create an orb of equal power and attacked Dokgoyeon again, wringing a smile at the corner of his mouth.
“Before that, I have to kill you, who has the upper power of my magical power.”
