Admission is a waste of time (309)
Lesson 60. The Master of the House – 4
The group arrived at the parade ground in front of the mansion where the head of the family and his immediate family resided, in the realm of Prominence, in an instant, thanks to the changeling that distorted Yura’s causality. They were surrounded by an enormous number of enemies without even having time to do anything.
-The enemy.
-Oh my goodness, they’re fairies? Maybe they’ve come to free us.
“Kill them, the fairies are coming! Don’t let your guard down and push through with solid physical attacks!”
Private soldiers who protect the Prominence family, fire spirits bound by contracts, and battle dolls that are far inferior to the golems of Aire but are made by foolishly chopping up high-quality materials and are close in power.
“Ha, when you reach the S-class level, even the guard dogs that protect the house are of a different level.”
“Well, our knights aren’t getting fooled either?”
As Mira muttered while casting a curse spell on the arrows on her bow, Asha, who had become competitive, started talking nonsense that was off-topic. At that moment, Yura spread out both arms and attracted the attention of the fairies.
“The contract that binds those spirits is an unjust contract! I decided it now!”
“We are ready, Your Majesty!”
“Mom, I’ll shoot now. Do it right now.”
No one tackled that ridiculous nonsense.
Rather than that, the fairies are in perfect sync without anyone having to say anything.
The deciding blow was an arrow fired into the air by Mira.
An arrow containing a spell that even those who were well-versed in curses could not easily interpret rose high and magically tore apart something that covered the entire mansion, and then all the fairies knelt in the direction where Yura was standing.
At that moment, everyone could feel Yura’s presence expanding and covering the entire area.
“Spirits, break free from the chains that bind you and come to us now!”
Those words were enough.
-iced coffee!
―Goodbye, everyone! I have thrown off all the shackles and restraints of this world――!
-What nonsense are you talking about, the Fairy Queen over there is our new contractor!
-Burn it! Burn those bastards who abused us!
This happened within minutes of arriving at Prominence, leaving no time for tactical consideration.
The power that had been occupying a third of the army suddenly turned to the fairies and began to show its teeth and rampage towards Prominence, and it was a moment when I immediately understood why fairies were so scary.
Ban Yu-won, who was exploring the surrounding terrain, especially where his older sister was, with his hands on the ground, muttered in astonishment at the sight.
“Was it possible to just arbitrarily break a spirit contract like that?”
“That’s changeling too.”
“Don’t try to go all changeling, really.”
Mira was acting cute in a way that didn’t fit the situation, but it was so cute and fitting that it annoyed me even more.
“Stop messing around with the fairies and do what you have to do, Won!”
The group, knowing what Ban Yu-won wanted, each drew their weapons and fought against the enemy to protect him.
The enemies were S-class dimensional troops, so each and every one of them was strong enough to surpass the level of 4 Erecto, but even those who had come all the way to Prominence were quite strong, so it was possible to endure them by struggling.
“Okay.”
At that moment, Ban Yu-won lifts his hand off the ground and his eyes sparkle.
In fact, it was relatively quick to figure out the structure of the mansion itself, but it took some time because it was difficult to move through the magic barrier that spread across the entire mansion area.
Now, I had figured out the structure and even the gaps of all the barriers protecting the mansion, so it seemed like I could somehow get through them with the Origin Sword.
“I’ll be back soon. Just hold on a little longer.”
“Okay, just a minute. Okay, I’ll go with you.”
Dokgoyeon, who was swinging a sword imbued with death and destroying more than ten golems at the same time, turned around hurriedly and shouted after hearing Ban Yuwon’s words, but he firmly shook his head.
“It’s not a matter of manpower. Either way, it’ll end in an instant. Guard this place, Yeon. I’ll be back.”
“Ugh… … .”
Seeing Dokgo Yeon open his eyes wide as he realized the meaning of those words, Ban Yu-won thought to himself, “Maybe I scared you too much?” and smiled bitterly, but without hesitation, he used the Origin Sword――.
I used teleportation to take advantage of the gaps in the concept of barriers that filled this space and arrived at my destination.
Inside the mansion, a large auditorium that appears to be a parade ground or training ground.
Two large flames were seen on the verge of colliding.
“――The flame that the year holds is too weak to rise to the position of the head of the household!”
I could tell at a glance that it was an urgent situation.
The sight of the cold-blooded and murderous master, who resembles Kraton, the prominence lord he killed earlier, cornering his half-dead older sister, even though it is the first time he has seen her.
In the meantime, for some reason, I noticed Ulrike sticking to Level Force instead of Prominence, and while feeling dumbfounded, I decided to carry out the most urgent task first.
“The extra fireworks you ordered have arrived――!”
It was a remark as light as adding meat to shabu-shabu, but there was no one in this room who did not know the value of the red orb that appeared in his hand.
The head of the household fires a laser beam containing the essence of the constellation’s flames at a speed that even the half-width of the body can hardly block.
Ulrike, who was of the Prominence bloodline and reacted to it as sensitively as Ban Yoo-won, threw everything she had into blocking it.
The moment Ban Yu-won safely reached his older sister and handed over all the red flames he had collected with his magic circle to his older sister, everything was over in an instant, just as he had said to Dokgo Yeon earlier.
“Did you see it!”
Ban Yumi, who had destroyed Gaju, shouted while raising flames above her palm.
The red flame that proved her Prominence family, shining translucently like a jewel, proved that she had broken through several walls blocking her and entered the upper realm.
“If you see it, kneel down!”
“Ha, Yumi.”
“Ah, ahh.”
“This can’t be happening… … .”
Ban Yu-mi’s straightforward remark made Kang Eun-young sigh, but it was very effective for the other members of Prominence.
Perhaps the power that flowed through their veins was instinctively yielding to the higher power, that of Banyumi.
[By absorbing the concepts of an incredibly strong opponent, the depth of life has reached 1,650, the depth of the original body 1,237, the depth of the original energy 1,455, and the depth of the soul 1,778!]
[The depth of the charm has become 750. The depth of the red flame has become 1,800!]
Ban Yu-won flinched as he absorbed all the concepts he had extracted from the fresh-from-the-death family head instead of Hong-yeon, who had yielded to his older sister.

Even though the concept of the target killed by another person cannot be completely acquired, the concept of the head of the household killed by his older sister was almost completely absorbed into him.
Without it, it would have been impossible to grow from 1,500 to 1,650 in one breath.
For a moment, he cursed himself for thinking, ‘This is also changeling, since I gave up farming in exchange for giving me a weapon to kill.’
‘I don’t have to deal with Hongyeon all day and night, and since the elements that were difficult to grow have suddenly skyrocketed, this might be more beneficial.’
No, but it wouldn’t be more profitable anyway.
For now, I was satisfied with just seeing my older sister successfully rise to the top by gaining the support of the members of Prominence, so I decided to consider it a gift.
-Quaquaquaqua!
Just then a loud explosion was heard outside.
Perhaps it is the destructive power of Shati.
Ban Yu-won, thinking of the chaos that was going on outside, shivered and urged his sister on.
“Sister, the kids are fighting outside. Go out there quickly and put them out.”
“Oh, yeah? Oh, ah! Okay, you go and tell me when you get back! You all follow me!”
Ban Yu-mi, who had been insisting that he not talk about anything else, ran out with glaring eyes.
The family members are bewildered by the situation where the head of the household has changed right before their eyes, but they run after her in a panic.
Ban Yu-won waved his hand at her back and then approached Ulrike, who had taken the attack from Ga-ju on his behalf and was now lying on the ground, squirming.
She was in such a critical condition that it seemed as if she would turn into a fresh corpse if left unattended for just two minutes.
“Ugh… … Wow, you’re here… … .”
“Senior, you hit me on purpose, right? You thought I would survive if I got hit.”
“Still, kekeke… … .”
Even though a large hole was ripped through her abdomen and blood was gushing out from above and below, Ulrike somehow managed to maintain a seductive expression.
“The amount of time wasted has decreased… …?”
“That’s true. Looking at you now, if I had been hit by this, I wouldn’t have been able to just let it go.”
I thought it might be a deterrent attack since it was launched as soon as I saw Ban Yu-won, but now that I look at it, it was an attack that contained the core of the constellation.
If it had been someone other than Prominence’s bloodline, the attack would not have been able to be detected even by the soul, but thanks to Ulrike, who had figured out the characteristics in advance and prepared well to take it, it ended up only causing a fatal wound.
If Ban Yu-won had hit here, the bead might have been destroyed, or it might have been taken away by Ga-ju.
Also, when that time comes, other Level Force members will probably do something about it… … but as Ulrike said, I guess we can say that the amount of time wasted has been greatly reduced.
“Then please… acknowledge me.”
Ulrike’s voice became clearer as she felt her own death approaching.
“I’m on your side… … Don’t hate me… … .”
“This is a difficult problem. Don’t think of it as a slap in the face. The things my senior did before were, in fact, very hard to forgive.”
“I didn’t know… … .”
Of course you didn’t know.
If I had known, I would not have approached him so shamelessly at the Academy.
Ban Yu-won said, placing his hand on her forehead.
“If you didn’t know, will the guilt go away? It’s a bit disappointing to try to brush it off as a one-time hit.”
“It’s too much… … But still, I like it… … .”
Is this how the Prominence family originally loved?
Ban Yu-won, who pictured Keira and her older sister in his head, nodded in understanding.
It seemed like anything could happen.
He extracted all the energy of the constellations that were running wild trying to ruin Ulrike’s body, turned them into stigmata that reached a depth of 50, and absorbed them. Then he took a piece of candy from his bosom and put it in her mouth.
Ulrike’s pale complexion brightened noticeably as she considered it a token of affection.
“Thank you… … ! I love you, even if I die now, my heart will be by your side… … .”
“No, I guess you didn’t understand what I just said.”
Ban Yu-won took out the blood wine, the wine of life that flows in Eden, and poured it on her wound, activating the concept of Geas, or oath, that he had previously obtained from Woo-hyeol-rin.
“I must collect the remaining debt from my living senior.”
I felt some invisible circular ring forming around me.
This was originally a self-contained concept that allowed one to bind oneself to certain conditions in order to gain greater power, but in the process of learning ancient sorcery, he learned how to expand the object of this binding.
Here, a spell reaching a depth of two thousand was cast, and the ring surrounding Banyuwon expanded in an instant, binding him and Ulrike.
“I swear that I will protect and defend Ulrike Prominence as long as she protects me and my family.”
Has he realized the existence of a magical contract that binds him to his half-human body, and his body’s ability to recover quickly?
A look of bewilderment appeared on Ulrike’s face, who seemed satisfied with burning everything and disappearing into ashes.
“This is… … ?”
“If you noticed, you too, senior, would swear quickly.”
“I swear, I swear!”
[The Covenant is activated.]
[The depth of sorcery increases by 10, and the depth of oath increases by 20.]
The ring of oath that had been swirling around the two people melted into the air and scattered.
Ulrike looked at herself in astonishment, realizing that her body had completely recovered… … and realized that it wasn’t only that.
“Oh, how? The contract with the constellation should have been automatically terminated… … Instead of my body being ruined, it has grown even more.”
“That’s the power of a promise.”
I desperately held back the joke that it was a changeling.
I had to finish this quickly and get out of here before those damn fairies made my mind go crazy.
“As long as you protect me and my family, I will be able to handle stronger forces.”
“Oh my god… … you. Me like this.”
An indescribable emotion appeared in Ulrike’s eyes as she looked at Ban Yu-won’s explanation.
The feeling seemed too heavy and sticky to be simple love, and Ban Yu-won thought that all the women of Prominence had lost their taste.
“Okay, anyway, all the urgent work is done, so let’s wrap it up and head to the Union… … .”
But Ban Yu-won soon realized that it was a rather arrogant judgment.
Suddenly, I discovered another sun rising over Prominence.
“… … What is that?”
“Seo, constellation.”
Ulrike’s face, which had looked as if she would hang around his neck and shower him with kisses at any moment, turned pale again.
It would have been better if the wound had healed, but that wasn’t the case.
There was something about Ulrichie that was once connected to ‘that thing’ that made it possible for him to know.
“Not the clone of the follower of the eons, but the main body.”
He seemed to not believe it even though he was saying it himself.
She said, clinging to him and shuddering.
“It’s impossible, but… … the constellation itself has descended! Leading all its remaining power… … !”
