Admission is a waste of time (274)
Lesson 53. Equivalent Exchange – 6
-Wow, wow, wow!
The torrential rain sword split into hundreds of pieces and literally became a torrential rain, striking the rear of the retreating imperial army.
-Hey, run away!
―No, too fast―― Kaaaah!
If they had blocked them from the front, they would have known that each and every one of them was not very powerful, but the defeated soldiers who had lost their main force and were fleeing did not have the ability to distinguish that, and in the end, they were only able to escape after offering up about a hundred additional concepts to Ban Yu-won.
[You have gained 1,055 life, 855 physical, 1,117 magic, 1,068 imperial weapon, and 1,268 formal weapon.]
Perhaps because it was an imperial army with a unified system, there were some unique aspects to the concepts collected from them.
The concepts drawn from soldiers who handled various weapons such as swords, bows, spears, and axes were very naturally mixed to become imperial weapon techniques, and the various weapons they handled were unified into the upper concept of official weapons.
I thought it might be because the soldiers received the same training within the specific environment of the military, and their weapons were also manufactured in the same style.
I realized once again the truth that the background before conceptualizing is also important in combining lower-level concepts to create a higher-level concept, and after absorbing and internalizing all the concepts I had just collected.
[Life increases by 15, original body increases by 10, original energy increases by 20, and the depth of the original sword increases by 10.]
Most of those many concepts were broken down into pieces that were not even 1/10th of their original size, but 1/100th of their original size.
Still, I decided to be satisfied since, even by system standards, the core concepts have risen by at least one level.
When growth was at a standstill, no matter how many concepts I gathered, it was ineffective, but compared to that time, I am just moved.
“As expected, the A-class dimension is different no matter what… … Huh?”
After distributing the concept of weapons exceeding one thousand equally among the twenty-five heavy rain swords that played a major role in this battle, I turned around and saw Dokgo Yeon standing blankly in the middle of a battlefield where only corpses and scrap metal remained.
He had his hand holding the short sword pulled up to his chest and his eyes tightly shut, as if he were praying.
In a battlefield stained with blood and death, Ghidorah, she is a perfect fit.
Of course, in reality, she is just refining her unique martial arts skills that become stronger by accumulating death energy.
[That’s a really scary talent. You’re the same age, right?]
When Selon asked in a frightened voice, Ban Yu-won shrugged his shoulders and answered.
“He doesn’t seem to want to say anything, but he might be a year younger than me.”
[You could be younger? Ha. I don’t intend to insist that all strong people must be born in a higher dimension, but this guy is different. That level of systematic fighting style, absurdly dense upper-level magic power… … That kind of strength cannot exist in a lower dimension. If I hadn’t met you, a formidable fraud, I wouldn’t have been able to accept his existence.]
“Haha… … Who would have thought that Yeon would be stronger in a battle like this?”
Although the other Rebellion members were great, they could not keep up with Dokgo Yeon, who was determined and running wild. She single-handedly cut down nearly 10,000 enemies with a sword filled with death, but she maintained a clean appearance with not a single drop of blood on her clothes or even her face.
“kite?”
“Ah, Won. Are you here to help?”
As Ban Yu-won approached her and spoke to her, she slowly opened her closed eyes and smiled at him.
Ban Yu-won, momentarily captivated by the alluring sight, coughed in vain, trying not to reveal his true feelings.
“I had a rough idea. I just need to inject you with the death energy that fills this place, right?”
“We’d better hurry. It won’t be long before we all disperse… … .”
Didn’t she say earlier that the energy of this world leads to death?
The expression was indeed accurate, as the concept of a magical explosion created by the clash between the party and the enemy on this battlefield was fatally amplified and soon turned into death under the influence of the star.
A dark, red, ominous concept formed by a complex intertwining of many other concepts.
Of course, since death is an energy that cannot be accumulated, it will transform into another concept and disperse shortly after the battle ends, but Dokgoyeon, who created so many deaths, and Ban Yuwon, who controls the power of concepts, should be able to hold onto it.
“Then what should we do?”
“Hmm? What did you do with the beasts and fools?”
Dokgo Yeon blinks and asks Ban Yu-won, who is speaking nervously for no reason.
When he told her how he had changed Ruchel’s concept of her body and how he had intervened in Asha’s contract with the Dragon Sword, she took two steps back, extremely embarrassed.
“Wh, what— you don’t need to come inside me! … … Huh?”
Dokgo Yeon, who realized that the words he had blurted out in a hurry could be interpreted strangely, was so flustered and embarrassed that he stamped his feet in place.
His neck and face were so red it looked like they would explode with a bang if someone pricked them.
“No, that came out weird just now. What I mean is that if you just gather your energy, it shouldn’t be that hard for me to accept it— No, really! You’re saying weird things!”
“Is it my fault?!”
The cross in her eyes was spinning rapidly.
Since it seemed like he would be hypnotized if he just stared at them like that, Ban Yu-won decided to quickly wrap things up.
“Yeon, calm down. As you said, your situation is different from those two. I think just holding hands will be enough.”
“Cow, hand.”
But it seems that even that wasn’t such a simple task for Dokgo Yeon.
After hesitating for a while, she finally made up her mind, as if all the energy she had left on the battlefield would dissipate, and cautiously reached out her hand to him.
“It’s not like it’s the first time I’ve caught it.”
“The inspector doesn’t give up his hand easily.”
“Okay, okay.”
“It pisses me off to be so relaxed… … .”
He carefully holds Dokgo Yeon’s hand with both of his, who is grumbling with his lips sticking out, and then takes in all the concepts of [death] that fill the battlefield, refines them, and then delivers them.
He never even thought of building it himself.
There was no way he could endure the death accumulating inside his body when he couldn’t even properly handle the toy knife he received from the previous president.
“Haaah… … .”
Since the concept of the body does not require contact, the concept was conveyed smoothly even though they were only holding hands.
She used her martial arts to absorb all the concepts that came rushing in, storing them up in her body one by one, and let out a strangely languid sigh.
The two people are handling it steadily, but it originally had the energy to go wild and blow away an arm without a problem if there was even the slightest movement.
The process of all the death that filled the battlefield being concentrated into one point and then transformed into energy that humans could handle through martial arts control was something that even the constellations could not easily imitate.
“――Okay. This is too much.”
Soon, Dokgo Yeon opened his eyes and declared, and Ban Yu-won also nodded and dispersed his remaining energy.
A peaceful atmosphere was suddenly spreading across the battlefield, where just approaching it would cause a crushing sense of oppression.
“Whew… … I expected this, but this is really it.”

“It seems like it was successful.”
Dokgo Yeon let out a deep sigh and shook his head as if Ban Yu-won’s question was funny.
“It was beyond my expectations. The environment and your help were both appropriate. Thanks to that, I was able to see the wall blocking me more clearly… … .”
“wall?”
“Don’t worry about it, it’s not a problem that will be solved soon… … More importantly, the battle today went pretty well.”
Ban Yu-won decided to adjust to Dokgo Yeon’s blatant change of subject.
“Yeah, I’ve fought a lot of individual battles, but this was my first time fighting against the military, and I think it meshed well.”
“If only my hands were a little more free, I could have easily overcome it.”
“No, how could I have such a heavenly teacher… … .”
“Again and again.”
Dokgo Yeon’s eyes sharpened at the word teacher, and he reached out and grabbed his lips.
But then, Ruchel appeared next to her and pushed her hand away, pulling Ban Yu-won into her arms.
“Dokgoyeon, no matter how much I like you, if you keep harassing me, I won’t be able to use you.”
“Bullying me? This guy was the one who teased me first… … Ah.”
Dokgo Yeon, who was speechless as if something came to mind instead of refuting him, blushed brightly and stepped away from his lips.
Despite having defended the half-circle, Ruchel looked dissatisfied.
“How dare you act like such an innocent teenage girl… … I just saw the two of you holding hands.”
“That’s because Won is helping me practice my martial arts… … .”
“Didn’t you keep holding my hand under the pretext of martial arts? It’s puberty after all.”
“puberty?”
Then a real teenage girl appeared behind them.
“What were you talking about without me? Puberty? What’s puberty at our age?”
“ah.”
Asha tilted her head, seemingly unaware of the meaning of the gazes of the Rebellion members all focused on her.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Then shall we go back? At this rate, even the Demon King will listen to what my senior says.”
“Yeah.”
“Yu-won, I will protect you no matter who you are, so just stay by my side. Okay?”
“Hey guys? Why are you ignoring me?”
After they returned from the battlefield after gathering all they could, Shati, Mira, and Aire, who were well aware of their abilities, greeted them with indifferent expressions, but only one person, Kron, had his mouth wide open like the first time he saw Shati’s power.
“Da, how did you… … .”
The person he was talking to was Dokgo Yeon, who had shown overwhelming divine power in battle.
It was easy to mistake Dokgo Yeon for controlling blood magic, since he was able to read and manipulate the energy that filled the battlefield and eventually absorb it all.
“You only know what you see. I wonder if you realize that the magic you are dealing with is closer to unrefined explosives.”
Of course, Dokgo Yeon snorted and laughed at Kron… … But Ban Yu-won read the unusual heat in Kron’s eyes as he looked at Dokgo Yeon and hit his forehead.
“Our master has done it again.”
“You, come here.”
Dokgo Yeon, who was unable to read the changes in Kron, thought that Ban Yu-won was just making fun of him and carried out his sentence.
The half-human being who was being treated felt like death, but to Kron, it seemed like it was proof that the two were close, and he began to glare at him with eyes that held even more hostility than before.
Ban Yu-won, who had barely escaped from Dokgoyeon, made a request to Shati with a sour expression.
“Senior, please do something about my younger sibling.”
“Why me? I’m glad I can finally break free from that obsession.”
“The devil is not a devil for nothing.”
“Don’t worry, all that’s left to do is go back once you meet the Demon King.”
But it wasn’t.
After defeating the Human Empire Army and finally entering the Demon King’s Castle, what greeted them was not the Black Horsemen that the Demon King had promised to give to Shati, but a military force directly under the Demon King created to subdue them.
But that was the moment when my foolish thought that he was Shati’s father and would not do anything bad to them was shattered.
“I thought it was a no-no, but it really was.”
Their first impression of the Demon King, who appeared only after they were surrounded by hundreds of Evil Ones, was that he was extremely large.
The skin is a dark black shell, and the two eyes are naturalized blue blazing flowers.
The man, holding a greatsword made of bone in one hand and a shield made of ice in the other, was staring at Dokgoyeon just as his son had been staring at him.
“The world of martial arts, the origin of nothingness. I heard it was isolated. Who would have thought that there really were fools who escaped from there without knowing anything and crawled all the way here?”
“what?”
“For countless years, we have used blood magic and suffered from blood magic… …. With you, we can finally escape the side effects of blood magic and become stronger.”
Could it be that the strange attitude that Cron showed earlier was a foreshadowing of the current situation?
“……senior?”
At the sight of the Demon King talking as if he knew something about Dokgo Yeon’s home dimension, Ban Yu-won reflexively stepped between him and Dokgo Yeon to block their gaze, and sent a look to Shati that seemed to imply that he wanted her to solve the problem.
“under.”
She sighed, stepped forward in front of the group, and slammed the scepter she had been given onto the floor.
“Demon King, stop playing tricks and give me your troops.”
“Of course I will keep my promise, my daughter. But I don’t think there was anything in that promise that said I would not touch your group.”
“Oh, okay.”
There was venom in Shati’s eyes.
The scepter she held was filled with a terrible density of destructive magic――.
“――As expected, it was good that you followed me.”
The next moment, a man covered in black robes appeared in the air.
It was anonymous.
