Admission is a waste of time (336)
Lesson 66. Irregular – 2
The aliens with flowers on their heads called their world the Garden of the Four Seasons.
The world is divided precisely into four seasons, and all children are sent to the Temple of Spring as soon as they are born, regardless of what season they belong to.
“And now winter is all gone.”
The only woman who spoke informally to Celon seemed to have the highest status among the group, and perhaps because of that, the flower in her hair was particularly large and showy.
“Autumn is fading away. And here it is, summer. The black spots are just beginning to appear… … and you have arrived at that very moment.”
“It was understandable that you might misunderstand. But as you can see, we are also hostile to that.”
Ban Yu-won said, tapping the hilt of the Sword of Death, which was now inside its scabbard.
The aliens who had seen the sword cut through the black dot just now nodded, swallowing hard.
“Do you know the source of destruction?”
The woman spoke again.
Instead of answering directly, Ban Yu-won asked a question.
“source?”
“Yes, many dimensions in the past were swallowed up by the coming destruction. The tower at the center of the universe―――and the one who built it―――…….”
The woman suddenly shut her mouth.
Ban Yu-won has already experienced something similar.
In the ruins located underground on the planet Galahad in the D-13 dimension, Asha’s hometown, only certain phrases were censored.
In particular, these people may seem at first glance like real people who actually lived in this world, but they are nothing more than fake NPCs created by the top based on information from the original.
Although it is possible to tell a fairly detailed story based on memories from before one’s death, there are limits to that.
“――The aftermath of their conflict had to be resolved, and we were the ones chosen as the scapegoat. So it was virtually impossible to stop it. That’s why I suspected you.”
Their clash? A scapegoat?
I was curious about what had happened before that, but seeing the woman continue talking without even realizing that the conversation had been interrupted, it seemed impossible.
Ban Yoo-won exchanged glances with the members and nodded his head while facing her.
“You never know until you try. First, prepare to escape. We’ll try to prevent destruction here.”
“Ah… …! Thank you!”
Is this the standard for clearing this room? No way.
The black dot that was being reproduced――let’s call it ‘black destruction’―was only the result of an irregular phenomenon, and Ban Yu-won guessed that the original shift condition was not to erase all life in this room.
As you climb higher in the tower, there are many missions that require you to take the allegiance of NPCs. Even then, to get through them without harming them, you have to perform tasks that are only slightly less difficult than a camel passing through the eye of a needle.
“Yuwon, I don’t think this will work… … .”
“Let’s just do it as best we can. You don’t want to just follow the tower’s will, do you?”
“You are provoking Yongin’s pride.”
“That’s why I like it,” Ire added, her determination burning.
Asha and Ruchel each revealed their True Dragon Spear and sparking gauntlets, ready to face destruction.
“The opponent is an irregular. If you think it won’t work, back off.”
“No. I finally got the chance to access the secrets of the tower. I should be grateful to the Irregulars.”
“Master, please give me your strength.”
Ban Yu-won nodded and shared the concept contained in the extermination with his colleagues’ weapons.
Of course, not completely, but from the beginning, the concept of death was completely excluded and shared, so the concept of severance and extinction would have been certainly shared.
That was the reason why the party with Ban Yoo-won could be strengthened to the extreme.
… … Although that prerequisite is a little embarrassing.
Additionally, this allows you to absorb the concept of Black Destruction from your comrades’ weapons and send it straight to the Extinction Flame that Ban Yu-won is holding.
Strengthening your companions and making your own farming easier may be the greatest power Ban Yuan has achieved for party hunting.
“Okay, the dots will start appearing at a faster rate… … .”
Ban Yu-won murmured softly as he used his Origin Sword to confirm that the red maple land, which was probably the realm of autumn, was being swallowed up in darkness in the distance.
As her colleagues nodded and dispersed to the left and right, the woman who was still there, unlike her colleagues who had already moved into the realm of spring, looked at Ban Yu-won and asked.
“Is it possible for me to receive the blessings you gave to your colleagues? I want to help you with my limited strength… … Heeeek!”
When her colleagues, each taking their positions in the vast sky, heard those words, they all turned their heads and glared at her, and the female alien retreated in fright.
Ban Yu-won said with a bitter smile.
“I can only do this for my colleagues. I’m sorry. Please take care of the children of the Temple of Spring.”
“… … Yes! I will definitely protect everyone, including Celon!”
The woman bowed her head politely and crossed the air, relying on the quickly spreading branches of the tree.
A black destruction appeared in the middle of it, but a blast of red flames fired by Ban Yu-won erased it with perfect timing.
If you have already encountered it once, whether it is a living or non-living thing, you can use the Origin Sword to determine its location and attack it the moment it appears.
Ban Yu-won thought, “As expected,” as he watched the woman who had stopped in surprise turn around, greet him, and then move on.
It started out as an irregular thing, but it seemed like Top had started interfering directly with the Black Destruction.
But if we can just block it here, the destruction won’t spread to the Spring realm.
There should be no such thing.
Even though I knew it was a lie, I didn’t want Yumina to suffer a second disaster.
[Master, I’ll go out too.]
“Shishishit.”
“Okay, then I’ll ask you something.”
It was convenient for the followers he had created himself because they could receive the concepts they needed from him without having to share them with him.
“Ta-da, here comes the release!”
A blue-haired girl appeared in the air, holding a long sword that looked half-and-half like a flame and half-requiem.
She was characterized by her artificially luminous hair, and her silver eyes, which blinked emotionlessly with a mechanical sheen, stood out even more. Her clothes were a reversed version of the Union uniform, with blue lines on a white background.
“Do I have to copy the school uniform too?”
“This sense of unity is important! Oh, Eve copied me again!”

“… … .”
Following the release, Eve was transformed into something completely identical to her, the only change being a red line drawn on her white school uniform.
I really don’t know why, but she only transformed into someone else’s appearance.
I knew that she could transform into a complete and unique human form two years ago, when I swallowed Zenon’s Orb and left the realm of the beasts to enter the realm of the divine beasts…
Her rank was now strictly equal to Ruchel’s.
Since Lucille is in human form, it is only natural that Eve can also be transformed into human form.
“I’m telling you, you’re embarrassed. It would be nice if you could show off your appearance and be liked like me.”
“… … ?”
Eve just tilted her head in silence.
It was a look of genuine bewilderment.
Lilith, who was flaunting the attitude of ‘You… …?’ with the same face as herself, was about to draw her sword at her sister at any moment――but she was unable to do so due to the black destruction that began to appear one after another in all directions.
“Tch, just wait and see when this is over! I’ll show off how much love I have for my master… … Aaaah!”
“… … !”
It seems like Top has started his exams in earnest.
Ban Yu-won looked up at the sky, wondering if there might be a giant eye looking down at him from up there. He then chuckled and grabbed the flame.
“Let’s get started.”
* * *
About five hours had passed.
The Rebellion members, who borrowed power from Ban Yu-won, began to take turns fighting against destruction because it was too much.
Ban Yu-won took over the Storm Sword that had died heroically two years ago after completing its mission, and he called out the Storm Sword ver. 2, which he had newly prepared to match the concept of the changed Extinction Sword, from his inventory and was erasing the black dots that were appearing simultaneously.
“Ugh.”
“Master, if you are tired, would you like to rest for a bit?”
A still-lively release leaped through the space toward him and asked.
Ban Yu-won shook his head firmly.
“What’s this? I haven’t even eaten the candy yet. I can hold out for a few more hours.”
Close your eyes tightly and erase any feelings of exhaustion or fatigue from yourself.
I was able to use the power I had never dared to dream of before, and I was able to challenge myself to think that if I could even put the flow of concepts that appeared to me into words, I could also amplify or erase them, and I succeeded.
One side effect of being able to create and erase one’s own emotions at will in this way is that one begins to feel somewhat fearful of one’s own power.
“Phew.”
“Ugh, you erased it again. That’s a bit scary.”
“… … .”
As Lilith was about to say something in shock, Eve suddenly appeared behind her, grabbed her, and threw her into the air.
Release was furious as she wiped out the black destruction that appeared at the exact point where she was thrown, but of course Eve did not listen.
He just shows a hint of worry on his expressionless face, hugs Ban Yu-won once, then lets go and steps back.
It was amazing how different the impression was even though it was the same face as the release.
“Thank you, Eve.”
“… … .”
Eve nodded, turned around, and leaped through space.
By now, in the original history, the summer realm would have already been taken over.
However, as destruction continued to be erased thanks to the ability of the half-wielding spirit to erase destruction as it was and the team members and subordinates who shared and handled it, the tower decided to start pouring out destruction.
Dozens of raindrops streaking across the sky, Eve and Lilith, and the team members burning with fighting spirit.
Ban Yu-won narrowed his eyes as he felt the sense of disconnection and annihilation flowing from them all, filling his room with despair.
“The more risky it is, the more rewarding it is. The only thing I’m worried about is the balance with death… … .”
The miraculous balance of extinction is possible because severance, death, and annihilation are in perfect balance, and it is surrounded by the transformed power of prominence, annihilation.
But now, only disconnection and destruction were coming, so even though there were no immediate problems, if it continued like this, it would really go out of control and become a demonic sword that would drag not only the user but also everyone around them into it.
But that was a foolish worry.
―He smiles gently, saying that he will fill in what Death’s eyes lack.
After all, his contracted constellation is the one that controls the entire energy of death.
Originally, she released all the power she could handle into the contract with Ban Yu-won, but from the moment she finished the contract, the stigmata symbolizing her influence as a constellation and her own unique powers began to accumulate, and even she was at a loss.
The reason is simple. Since Ban Yu-won is a being that receives the attention of the entire universe just by existing, he was able to gain more power just by existing as his contract constellation.
――Perhaps the fact that he is the successor to the tower also had an influence on that.
“Okay, then let’s ask you later. Not here, but somewhere where there’s less waste of energy.”
―The eyes of death blush as they tell you not to smile so viciously.
It’s nice that the constellation messages automatically reveal some of the emotions even when they’re not in front of you, Ban Yu-won thought with a smirk.
-Crunch
He swings his sword again.
The black dot distorts, spits out some concepts, and disappears.
At that moment, his colleagues all stopped and exclaimed in admiration.
“What is this? It won’t show up anymore.”
“No way… … Did you really stop it?”
“Then what about external destruction?”
That’s not possible.
All that was allowed in this room was just consumed.
Ban Yu-won raised his head as he saw that the black destruction was no longer appearing.
This time, he finally discovered the giant eyes spying on him.
And beyond that, a ball of golden thread flutters down by the will of the tower.
“It’s the tower’s reward!”
“It’s been a really long time… … . It was a huge task, really.”
“Level up.”
The team members were given rewards, and he personally reached out and collected his share of the rewards.
[The depth of life has become 4,025, and the depth of soul has become 5,250.]
“oh.”
Ban Yu-won’s eyes narrowed.
“The depth went up by 25 degrees. It was worth the adventure.”
“Wow, what the heck? We only went up one level!”
“Isn’t it incredible to go up one level from your current level? Not as much as yours, Master.”
“Ah, shift… … .”
As soon as the reward was given, Shift got up without even having time to say hello to Yumina’s fellow countrymen who were heading to the Spring Realm.
Was this reward really meant to be eaten and then gone? Ban Yu-won thought with a smirk.
Still, it was a little disappointing that I never got to see the young Yumina again.
