Admission is a waste of time (359)
Lesson 70. I don’t intend to give you a break – 5
Asha’s ancestor was a true dragon, and he betrayed the other true dragons and sided with the tower lord.
There is no way to know why he betrayed the other True Dragons――but since Ban Yu-won himself has a hard time telling everyone about the people with whom he has complicated relationships, it could be that he did the same.
[At the ruins I visited last time, it was written that it was to save humans suffering from the tyranny of the true dragons.]
‘Release, do you believe that? Of course you are. There is no human being in this world who acts with pure good intentions. Everyone acts for their own desires and purposes. If it was the True Dragon, it would be especially so.’
[The master has lost faith in his good nature… … .]
There was also a phrase in the ruins of Galahad at the time that seemed to hint at the existence of the tower owner.
The enemy of the tower was the true dragon, and the traitor was also said to have been hostile to the true dragons, so it was only natural that the two would side with each other.
The cooperative relationship between the two appears to have been much stronger than expected.
Otherwise, the distant descendants of the tower lords would not have come running back to Earth to help build a new tower.
This proves that the second tower was not simply a replica built to imitate the first tower, but had another important purpose.
This also serves as proof that Jinryong, who helped the Tower Lord, still had something to gain from the Tower Lord.
[I was wondering if perhaps the Dragon Sword was made by your ancestors.]
‘Well, seeing as that sword came from Earth and caused a reaction, it seems certain that the power of the ancestors was involved.’
[Then isn’t that the answer? The owner of the Dragon Sword wanted to kill all the true dragons, but there are still true dragons alive at the bottom of the tower.]
‘ah?!’
Now that I think about it, that’s what happened.
Perhaps the reason the traitorous Jinryong passed down the Dragonslayer Sword to future generations and tried to awaken himself and take over the bodies of future generations was because there were still Jinryongs left to kill.
The tower lord who used the True Dragon as material for the tower most likely bound him with a promise that he would one day let him kill all the True Dragons.
So when will the top owner keep his promise?
That’s when the tower serves its purpose.
“Yuwon-ah, I think I found you! Oh? Ohhhh!”
When Ban Yu-won’s thoughts were in order, Asha waved her hand to call him, but then she felt the ground beneath her feet shaking and started to panic.
Asia found the spot where the vibration of the True Dragon Sword was particularly intense, she drew out her magical power and stimulated the area.
A violent shock, like an earthquake, ran through the area, and the ground began to rise around where Asha had stepped, revealing the secrets that had been hidden within it for thousands of years.
“… … This is amazing.”
Ban Ji-won sighed and muttered in shock as she watched her granddaughter-in-law find her ancestors’ legacy that she had been searching for for months without finding an answer.
How could he have known that the keys were stored outside?
“He must have kept in mind the possibility that his descendants’ will might be different from his own. That’s why he entrusted the key to the True Dragon, whose will would never change.”
―That true dragon was destroyed after its key and everything was taken away by that foolish descendant.
And the Dragon Sword was the key.
The funny thing is that the Yongsal Sword has now been reborn as the True Dragon Sword thanks to the abilities of its descendants.
Of course, the sword’s abilities were not weakened, but greatly strengthened, so that it could now perform special attacks not only on True Dragons, but on all Transcendent Beings.
Since the characteristics of the Dragon Sword clearly remain within her, she may be a hidden card that surpasses Ban Yu-won in dealing with the True Dragon.
The only reason I never thought of that before is, um… … .
“Yuwon, I did well! Right!”
Ban Yu-won’s thoughts stopped as he saw Asha jumping up and down on top of the giant ziggurat, pouring out the sand that covered his body, and begging him to praise her.
A very rude thought had just occurred to him, but his conscience would not allow him to insult her inwardly, even after she had already accomplished so much since coming to Earth.
But his contract constellation was unreserved.
-There is no separate dog.
‘Yeon, reading people’s minds is a very bad thing.’
-You should reflect a little. You have a part to play in the child becoming like that.
While Ban Yu-won was waving his hand to Asha and talking to Dokgo Yeon, the other three were looking around the ziggurat, which had completely revealed its majestic appearance, to see if there was an entrance they could enter.
The massive structure, which has been preserved without any damage over thousands of years, makes us understand why people in the past called it a tower that challenged the authority of the gods.
Ban Yu-won, who had already seen the Tower of Babel in person, was less impressed, but the others, especially Kang Mi-yeon, who had lived in Korea her entire life except when she was on a business trip, were looking up at the ziggurat with their mouths wide open.
“Wow… … If we register this as a cultural heritage, it’ll be a huge hit?”
“That can’t be done. It would be nice if there was at least a sign indicating that it was owned by the Ban family.”
“Ah, ahaha… … .”
Ban Ji-won, who had been insisting that the Tower of Babel, which already had no form, was a family property, seems to have no intention of giving up on the Ziggurat that has appeared this time.
But if Ban Yu-won’s thoughts were correct, this ziggurat did not seem to have a very good effect on the Earth.
If it collapses later, I’ll at least build a new tower for Grandpa.
“Well, it matches the characteristics of the ziggurats described so far. There doesn’t appear to be an entrance underneath.”
“Then we have no choice but to climb the stairs. … … There might be some magical meaning to it, so everyone be careful.”
The party headed up the stairs to the top temple where Asha was located.
However, as if Ban Yoo-won’s prediction was right, his brave steps were in vain as he was blocked by something similar to a barrier between Kang Mi-yeon and Keira and was bounced away.
“Ouch, hot!”
“Tch, is that a barrier… …. Young Master, I’m bored, so come out and take a quick look!”
Well, the ziggurat itself is completely hidden, so how could there be no barrier?
It seemed that no one, except Asha, the owner of the True Dragon Sword, and Ban Jiwon and Ban Yuwon, the bloodline of the Tower Lords, could set foot in the ziggurat.
“Yes. I don’t think that’s possible, but please keep a close eye out to see if anything approaches.”
“Leave it to me, Yuwon!”
Not only did it reveal itself in response to the True Dragon Sword, but it was clear from the moment the barrier was set up that it had surpassed the level of Earth’s ancient heritage.
As they reached the top floor, thinking anew about the purpose for which this ziggurat had been built, Asha, who was already inspecting the entrance to the temple, waved her hand and called them.
“Come here and look, Grandpa! You too, Yuwon! There’s a hole for a sword!”
Ban Ji-won nodded his head, looking pleased at her.
“What a brave kid.”
“There was a time when I was a bit depressed, but I got better with a dramatic treatment. … … Maybe it was a reaction to that time.”

Ban Yu-won, who didn’t want to go into depth about Asha’s dark history, hurried his steps while vaguely covering it up.
Sure enough, upon reaching the entrance to the temple and checking, there was a crack blatantly exposed in the middle of the tightly closed main gate that a sword blade could easily penetrate.
“Should I put it in?”
“Yeah. … … No, wait a minute. Let’s take precautions.”
When Ban Yu-won, who had briefly received the True Dragon Sword from Asha, offered it to Eve, the boy suddenly swallowed it and then spit it out again.
Of course, it was impossible to distort the internal concept in that short period of time, but it was possible for the world to briefly accept this sword as the Dragon Sword rather than the True Dragon Sword through Eve’s illusion.
Even Asha, who had fully awakened the dragon’s factor, frowned slightly as if she was affected by it, but she gritted her teeth and accepted it.
“Then I’ll put it in right away?”
“It’s ready, so put it in quickly.”
Asha swung her sword with all her might.
The sword, which was inserted into the temple and fitted perfectly into the groove, was seen by Ban Yu-won’s eyes as it generated complex magical powers inside.
And the True Dragon Sword was pulled out again.
The door melted into the air around the part where the sword had been stuck, revealing a path leading into the temple beyond.
The lights in the hallway were slowly coming on, as if telling us to come in.
-Do you feel it? Oh. There’s something dangerous inside here.
“I was prepared for that. Grandpa, it’s dangerous, so step back for a moment.”
As I said repeatedly, Ban Yu-won was prepared to destroy this ziggurat.
However, Ban Ji-won laughed at his grandson’s words of concern and took a step forward.
“Do you think Grandfather will miss out on this historic moment? I may be clumsy in combat, but I can protect myself, so don’t worry.”
“No, but still… …what happened?”
If you think about it, there’s no way that the grandfather who had been wandering around searching for the Tower of Babel would have just backed down here.
Judging from the hallucinations I saw playing back thousands of years ago, it seems that one of the spirits has definitely been trained.
If anything, Ban Yu-won could have protected him, so he nodded his head in a trembling manner and went into the ruins with him.
“It’s very modern and clean.”
“Yes, it was so clean that I wondered if it would have looked strange to people at the time.”
The hallway was quite long, and as we walked along, we could see intricate cuneiform inscriptions here and there.
There were several languages spoken in the area when this tower was built, but if we were to choose the most formal language, it would definitely be Akkadian.
The famous Code of Hammurabi was also written in Akkadian… … Of course, it was about a thousand years before this ziggurat was built.
However, Seonjo wanted to make the language unrecognizable to others, so he created a new alphabet by adding his own unique rules, but even so, he could not escape the power of Ban Yu-won.
“What does it say, Yuwon?”
“Just think about it, what could there be to say at length after erecting such a magnificent building?”
“Could this be a record of how the tower was built?”
“That’s right. If you mix more than half of your bragging into it, it’s perfect.”
Ban Yu-won, who intuitively understands all languages as soon as he sees them, concluded that more than 90% of the letters written in this hallway were useless, but Ban Ji-won’s excitement at discovering the letters left behind by his ancestors was indescribable.
“This is truly a historic moment… …! Our granddaughter-in-law is very talented!”
“Hehehe.”
It seems that Ban Ji-won also realized how to deal with Asha.
Asha, who would appeal to Ban Yu-won after hearing her grandfather’s praise, was cute, but a little annoying.
-I want to hit you once… …Huh? Well, I think the hallway is finally over. I see some different letters.
Ban Yu-won, who raised his head at Dokgo Yeon’s words, realized that he had reached the end of the long hallway.
Even here, if you don’t know the purpose of the tower’s construction, you have no choice but to have Asha hold back her grandfather and then tearfully beat him to pieces…
Ban Yu-won, who approached with an anxious heart, realized that a small cavity had formed at the end.
There was writing on that wall, but it wasn’t Akkadian.
It was the writing of the dragons that had been seen in the tomb of the dragon in the past.
“……ah.”
Asha was speechless when she saw it.
Ban Yu-won was inwardly surprised, wondering if the guy could read the characters his ancestors used, but as he looked at the Jinryong Sword vibrating violently, he could tell that was not the case.
“Yuwon, this is… … .”
“This kid never changes.”
A long list of texts explaining in detail why all the true dragons must die.
Moreover, even at this point, in case she had not yet taken control of her descendant’s body, she had prepared a magic that would activate the moment Asha read the text.
The problem is that the spirit of the ancestor that was supposed to be activated by magic has already been cleanly separated from Asha and oxidized into the material of the True Dragon Sword.
“To destroy the dragon and unite the dimensions once again… ….”
“Oh, ohhh!”
Indeed, it seems that Asha’s ancestors had completely identical goals with Ban Yu-won’s ancestors.
As Ban Yu-won smiled bitterly, Asha raised her voice in surprise next to him.
“It feels like the sword is getting stronger! Not only that, but the dragon element inside me… …!”
“ah.”
Could it be that the magic designed to enhance the power of the ancestors simultaneously strengthens both the True Dragon Sword and Asha, which were made from that ancestor’s materials?
Well, it couldn’t be any more profitable than this!
―Warning. System abnormality detected. Concept transfer is causing an unexpected reaction.
―If you do not normalize the system, you may be labeled an intruder.
An unfamiliar warning sound echoed inside, but now it was impossible to return the power that the True Dragon Sword had absorbed.
After the magic left by the ancient True Dragon swept through once, Ban Yu-won turned his gaze back to the wall, where Asha was holding the reinforced True Dragon Sword with shining eyes. He could see that the letters left by the True Dragon had disappeared and were replaced by the letters of the ancestors that he had seen in the hallway earlier.
“… … Ah, indeed.”
As Ban Yu-won had hoped, it was there that he was able to discover the purpose for which the second tower, the ziggurat, had been built.
“Since we failed to unify the dimensions, we decided to use the Tower of Babel to gather information from all other dimensions and aim to create a single, complete and perfect dimension. … … That dimension is Earth? So this tower would be a receiver that receives the energy that would change Earth?”
-Well, I guessed it would be like that anyway.
The problem was that his purpose was even worse than he thought.
