Admission is a waste of time (221)
Lesson 44. The Breakthrough Strike – 1
[The depth of the stigmata has become 120.]
[You have gained Gap 10. This unique ability temporarily slows down the flow of time applied to you, revealing an absolute vulnerability to your opponent only then.]
The power called Gap was a technique that created two effects, two ‘gaps’, at the same time.
First is the gap in time.
Creating a time gap that applies only to you, making the limited time feel long and allow you to move.
Second is the opponent’s gap.
Even if the enemy has a strong defense like an iron wall, it is necessary to create a gap that can be penetrated.
However, it is not as great a skill as it sounds, because it only extends a short moment, so the duration of the power is not that long, and even if the opponent’s opening is revealed, finding it and striking it within the time limit is a separate problem.
Unlike the mutant powers that activate on their own when an object is created, or the soul flames that are granted by separating a fragment of the soul, it can be seen as a high-level combat power that requires a lot of effort to properly handle.
‘Of course, that doesn’t apply to me.’
In the first place, what kind of combat skills have he learned so far? Isn’t it about controlling one’s own movements and reading the opponent’s movements to move efficiently by operating the Origin Sword based on the Yuwon Gong?
But if you could add a gap here and create an opening for your opponent, it would be extremely easy to read that and attack.
“Half-circle!”
“ah.”
Ban Yu-won, who had safely escaped the tower and had forgotten the situation while lost in thought about his newfound power, raised his head urgently at the sound of a voice calling him.
Dokgoyeon, holding a black dagger, was approaching right in front of us.
The emotion in her eyes was a hint of annoyance, and… … .
“If you got out safely, you should have something to say.”
Dokgo Yeon spoke in a strong tone, as if trying to deny the emotions that Ban Yu-won had read.
He apologized honestly.
“Sorry, something came up a bit right before we escaped.”
“… … I’m fine, so that’s fine.”
Dokgo Yeon, who turned around with a sigh of relief, suddenly chuckled.
“I also saw something funny.”
“Fun… … Ah.”
Besides Dokgo Yeon, Light was also seen nearby.
He was holding the holy sword that was emitting a dazzling light tightly, and was staring at the collapsing tower while panting.
It seemed as if he was trying not to look at Ban Yu-won, but even so, he could not overcome the power of Man-dok-an.
“You were worried too. Thanks, Light.”
“Worried? I just destroyed the tower. I thought I’d get caught up and die, but I survived.”
Ban Yu-won also ended up laughing like Dokgo Yeon at the words that clearly showed his true intentions.
Even though it looks like it’s completely gone, Light is still alive and breathing inside that body.
You could tell just by looking at the Holy Sword’s violent reaction as it suppressed the light, emitting a dazzling light like never before.
“A, did you survive… … ?”
“You defeated the divine punishment!”
“No, he saved us!”
“The person who challenged the throne and won with dignity… … Perhaps it was that person.”
Meanwhile, it wasn’t only Ban Yu-won who escaped the tower safely.
The NPCs who were sucked in ahead of him as bait to lure him out somehow managed to return safely thanks to the barrier that Ban Yu-won put up at the last moment.
Although they could not hear the conversation between the constellations and Ban Yu-won, they sensed the general atmosphere and whispered to Ban Yu-won while looking at him with respect.
It was only thanks to this that Light was able to discover them.
“iced coffee!”
Light, who seemed to have completely forgotten about their existence, then coughed loudly and raised the holy sword high in the air.
“I have saved you from those false gods! Now take up your sword and fight with me!”
“Oh, I see! Okay, I understand!”
The NPCs who had been half-released from the brainwashing effect of the Holy Sword as the constellations intervened in the middle and their powers were once again destroyed by Ban Yu-won, tilted their heads and gathered around him as Light unleashed his power once again.
I had no intention of deliberately stepping forward and brainwashing them, so I left it at that and returned to the rest of the group.
“Welcome back, master!”
“Thank you for your hard work, Ruchel.”
From the beginning, Ruchel just greeted him with a warm smile, as if she thought he couldn’t get hurt.
The monsters that were spread out at her feet were the ones that had popped out to replace the humans who had been sucked into the tower earlier.
Unlike Dokgo Yeon and Light, who were enraged at the thought that humans had turned into monsters, Ruchel knew from the beginning that they were monsters created by the constellations.
Because she shares a bit of Ban Yu-won’s reading eye along with her innate sense of humor that comes from the blood of a god.
“Wow, you’ve gotten stronger in such a short time!”
“Now that I think about it… … .”
When Ruchel was purely delighted and amazed, Dokgoyeon’s eyes, which were examining Ban Yuwon, became sharp again after hearing those words.
“Haven’t the constellations done you any harm? Sponsorships, contracts… … .”
“I tried to do something stupid… … but it’s always the same. Teasing and threatening… … and saying all sorts of unbelievable things about the tower.”
Dokgo Yeon’s expression slightly crumpled at Ban Yu-won’s last words.
“About the tower… … .”
“I was able to obtain the power that was completely mine without having to destroy the plan because there was one person I could communicate with.”
Ban Yu-won pretended not to notice her change and smiled calmly as he spoke, but Dokgo Yeon bit her lip and spoke strongly instead.
“No matter how good they may seem, no matter how trustworthy they may seem, they are ultimately enemies. You should never rely on them or trust them.”
“Of course. By the way, it seems like the real boss is about to show up.”
“really……?”
Everyone except Ban Yu-won thought that the condition for clearing Room 149 was to collapse the tower, so the moment he came out, they relaxed their battle stance, but Ban Yu-won was not fooled.

The sanctuary built inside the tower was originally a space created by the constellations to avoid the tower’s eyes.
There’s no way the room will be cleared just by destroying that device.
Moreover, the room they are currently in is an irregular room that was created by ignoring the conditions of the trick room and causing a shift.
Considering the number of rooms skipped and the conditions destroyed, it is impossible for it to end with just destroying one building.
-Whoooooooooo
And, as expected, changes began to occur immediately after Ban Yoo-won gave his warning.
The fragments of the tower that had been shattered by the two power attackers, Dokgo Yeon and Light, were writhing and moving.
Light called them false gods, and each one of them, which contained the power of the constellations and even the possession rate, had the potential to become a lethal bullet.
And they were all now assigned to one constellation… … .
– You really have a keen eye. It would be really painful to lose a talented person like you.
The voice of the constellation heard by all the party is, of course, that of the merciful north wind.
But Ban Yu-won, who is from Korea, knows it very well.
The fact that the cold wind blowing from the north cannot be completely merciful.
―You are now in a crevice in the tower. If you die now… …you might really die.
-And then you’ll be dragged this way.
– Okay. Then let me ask you again.
The merciful voice of the north wind, which swept in like a typhoon and struck the minds of the party, made them grit their teeth and draw their weapons.
One by one, the winds of the constellations, each one containing an excessively thick aura, rushed in and were absorbed into the remains of the tower.
Hoooow, with the sound of a spinning top, the pieces of the tower rose into the air and spun all at once.
-Will you make a contract with me on your terms, human?
“Go eat some shit.”
He responds with a snicker and adds strength to the hand holding the beheader’s longsword.
The power that was embedded in the longsword was the Holy Light, the power of Celon, the partner of the half-widow that the constellations had demanded.
The dazzling starlight swirled around the sword, mimicking the north wind.
It’s imperfect starlight, but it’s still starlight.
There, Ban Yu-won could perform tricks that were impossible for the current Celon.
‘It’s probably close to the Holy Light magic that Celon used when he was a constellation.’
That is the source of the power of the constellations, adding the stigmata!
Adding the stigmata, the power of the constellations, to the holy light that destroys the power of the constellations was like a dragon holding a dragon slayer and going wild, but it was a feat that was possible because he had mastered the Yuwon Gong that could create and control all energies.
… … Huh? But isn’t that guy right next to me?
-Is that the answer? Then I’ll destroy it terribly first!
The typhoon expanded in an instant and engulfed the group!
This is not an ordinary natural phenomenon.
It was a merciful descendant of the North Wind that had descended, using the fragments of the tower as its host!
Light, who had recognized the truth, stepped forward with glaring eyes.
“I’ll do it!”
“Everyone is resting because you worked hard to save me.”
Ban Yu-won, who had been biting the light with a smirk, raised the decapitator’s longsword.
I just used the power I had just learned.
Gap.
Even if it is a disaster created by the closest thing to perfection, it cannot help but reveal a ‘crack’ in front of it.
“under—!”
In a moment that extends close to eternity, Ban Yu-won’s keen eye for reading, which has found a gap in the typhoon, flashes fiercely.
The longsword of the beheader was swung with a single shout, and a trail of starlight extended from it.
Crunch, huh?
There was no way to hear a sound, but the typhoon split in two so cleanly that such an auditory hallucination could be heard.
-under…….
In the midst of the decapitating typhoon, the fragments of the tower lost their strength and collided with each other, destroying themselves.
The merciful North Wind is simply absurd.
―You’re handling it so perfectly, just a few minutes after gaining that bastard’s powers… … .
It seemed as if he was going to say something more, but it didn’t last long before it crackled like a noisy radio and then died away.
In Room 149, the constellation’s energy completely disappeared.
[Obtained 10 Divine Wind, 5 Destruction, and 30 Stigmata.]
[The gap depth has become 15.]
The concept of reward may seem dull considering that many gods have been involved in the work, but even the most unremarkable stigmata are worth 30 points of depth.
Moreover, when it came to divine wind or destruction, it was an enormous treasure that could be used anywhere to replace it with an artifact.
‘Okay, I can use it properly.’
Ban Yu-won smiled as he concluded that the power given to him by the One who can measure the moment was just right for him.
As always, Ruchel clapped and cheered for his performance, but Light opened his mouth wide as if his jaw would fall off.
“What is that… … .”
“It’ll be no fun if I tell you everything. Just know that this is a new power I’ve gained.”
“… … You, really.”
Even Dokgo Yeon, who was always happy for his growth, was looking at him with a strange expression that was hard to describe.
It was natural for him to react that way, since he had not only destroyed the constellation’s descending body without even doing anything classic.
“Oh, ohhh.”
“As expected… … he will save us!”
The NPCs that Light had somehow regained control of completely turned to him after seeing the last blow from Ban Yu-won.
No, there’s no point in trying to seduce NPCs since the chain room is already over.
Ban Yu-won thought about it like that and waved his hand at them.
To conclude, it was a huge mistake.
