Admission is a waste of time (71)
Lesson 15. Didn’t you learn to be careful when making contracts? – 5
Since there was nothing to gain from Room 10, the group took a short break and had a light snack (they saved the Elixir of Life Jam in case they got hurt on the tower) before heading straight to Room 11.
From Room 11 onwards, the rooms became larger and the level of the monsters that appeared increased, so Eve and Lilith alone could not sweep them all away, but with the assistance of the two companions with unique utility, the party was able to conquer the tower at a much faster rate than before.
“If we do well, we’ll reach room 20 today.”
“Of course. Unless Light has a seizure.”
“I said it’s okay, look! You’re swinging the spear properly!”
It wasn’t just because of Eve and Lilith.
During the previous exploration, everything was a mess as Ruchel was suffering from the urge of the mind and Light was suffering from the urge of the Holy Sword, but now both of them are in the best condition.
Even Ban Yu-won’s ability, which was the weakest member of the four, has been greatly improved, so it’s as if this party has no weaknesses now!
When I suddenly came to my senses while running so quickly.
“Oh, it’s already room 17.”
“This breaks the previous record, but it’s not that great.”
“Yuwon and I have been to room 19.”
“Beast, if you want to roast me, don’t beat around the bush… … Hmm?”
There was another reason for the rapid pace of exploration.
Unlike before, when elites would appear every other room, no special monsters appeared from Room 1 to Room 16. Perhaps this was related to their climbing records.
Fortunately, that record was broken immediately upon entering Room 17.
-Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
-Koooosh, thump, kooosh!
The footsteps of the tower spiders, which were encroaching with an eerie sound as if they were filling the walls, pillars, and floors with black paint, vibrated the entire room.
Light muttered, gripping the spear as he felt the ominous magic filling the area with him.
“They are elite.”
-Kooow!
The room expanded in an instant.
A spider as big as a house climbed down the wall and landed right in front of the group.
The spiders on the floor made an unpleasant squeaking sound.
“Another version of the Top Spider. It’s not even an Eevee, so why are there so many different evolution types?”
“This time it looks a little unusual. What is on top of the shell…?”
Although Dokgo Yeon and his group did not recognize him, Ban Yu-won was certain at first glance.
What the top spider had on its back was a cannon.
This bastard uses modern technology that climbers can’t even bring into the tower!
-Gigig, gigigig
“Hmm? I can feel his energy gathering in that cylinder. … … Is there something inside there? Is he trying to shoot it out?”
“That’s right. I don’t know what’s going to pop out, so everyone gather around me for now.”
It has already been proven through several actual battles – regardless of the type, once a weapon or bullet is fired, it immediately loses its power and disappears, having been stripped of its concept, under the influence of Ban Yu-won’s power.
In other words, the Banyuwon had a barrier that nullified live ammunition.
Just looking at this alone, it can be said to be a powerful authority!
-bang!
The group quickly gathered near the half-circle, and then the elite top spider fired a shell without any preparation.
As Mandok-an grew, his kinetic vision also grew, allowing him to accurately capture shells flying towards them.
It was a watermelon-sized bullet made of a ball of pure white thread.
‘Come to think of it… … .’
Ban Yu-won stretched out his hand and unleashed his power, dismantling and absorbing all the concepts of bullets as he thought.
‘No matter how much I can absorb the concept of things, it’s no use if I get hit before I can see it with my own eyes. The only problem is that I don’t get ambushed.’
As the bullet disintegrated, the three concepts absorbed by him were thread, magic power, and adhesion.
The thing to watch out for is probably the last stickiness.
“It has excellent adhesiveness. Be careful not to let it stick, Light.”
“Why are you singling me out for attention?”
I think he probably remembers the humiliation he suffered because of it in the past.
Light got angry for no reason and rushed at the giant spider with his spear, but the thing squeaked and quickly fired bullets at him.
“I think it matches what I’ve already seen!”
Light stomped off the ground and dodged the bullets without much difficulty, then swung his spear with a great swing and cut off the bastard’s front leg in one stroke!
Kwajik- Boom!
Then, at that moment, I hit the bastard’s head with a spear full of mana, breaking its shell and turning the blade to pierce it through.
“damage!”
“Tch!”
-Quaquaquaqua!
Several bullets flew in one after another, turning the spot where Light had been into a spider’s web.
Not only had the forelegs, which had been brutally severed and were spurting blood, transformed into new cannons, but the cannons on the creature’s back had also split into four!
“half!”
“okay!”
I was already interested in the concept of adhesion.
Ban Yu-won immediately absorbed the concept of the spider web scattered on the floor and rushed towards the spider.
“Eve, Release! You take the bullets.”
“Shishishit!”
-Ppaaang!
-Squeak

The division of labor was very efficient.
Whenever the spider-thing was attacked, it would transform parts of its body into cannons and fire a barrage of horrible sticky bullets… … .
Release, who was running fast on the ground (the room was expanded with the appearance of the Elite, so he could run freely) and Eve, who was freely floating in the air, neatly absorbed them all.
“It’s finished!”
“―Huh!”
Meanwhile, Ban Yu-won and Light have completely destroyed the spider.
There was no need for Ruchel or Dokgoyeon to come forward.
[Life 1, Flesh 0.5, Beast 1, Gunnery 13, Carapace 7, Transformation 5]
“… … Sigh.”
The concept of selecting from the elite of the 15th room ends at the level of increasing Ban Yu-won’s life by only 1.
No, rather, should I say that it went up by 1?
As Ban Yu-won was organizing his thoughts, realizing in reverse how much he had grown over the past two weeks, he saw something falling under the disappearing corpse of the elite.
“Artifact?!”
Light, who surprisingly was the most sensitive to physical objects among the group, came running, cheering.
But as he checked the loot, a strange groan soon leaked out from his mouth.
“Ugh, this is gross… … Ban, come and take this quickly.”
“These days, I sometimes feel like you’re my little brother.”
“I feel like you guys are kids quite often.”
“Please include me in there… … !”
Ban Yu-won ignored the two (“Then you’re a pet,” Dokgo-yeon said, teasing Ruchel) and took the loot from Light’s hands.
Sure enough, as soon as he received the cylinder-like object, he knew why Light had been so disgusted.
It wasn’t a processed artifact, but the cannon itself that the elite top spider was carrying.
“It’s not just a piece of body left over. The parts that can be called cannons are all composite. Look, it looks like a big cylinder on the outside, but it has seven muzzles.”
“Hey, don’t push me in!”
cute.
As Light ran towards him and hid behind Dokgoyeon, Ruchel glared at Ban Yuwon again.
“Yuwon, it’s bad.”
“It’s not that gross. There’s hardly any trace of spiders.”
Ban Yu-won shrugged his shoulders and tapped the exterior made of a hard shell before checking the inside of the barrel.
It’s not just a bunch of gun barrels put together.
The synthesis was so elaborate that it seemed possible to fire seven bullets simultaneously without any problems, as long as it could be loaded.
Ban Yu-won, who was wondering if it was an artifact, soon realized the answer.
‘Oh, really? This is made with adhesive. I never thought it would stick so naturally.’
I wondered why the guy died and the concepts of cannons and adhesion didn’t come out, but it turned out that they were all concentrated in this gun barrel.
Perhaps these special byproducts with the monster’s characteristics applied will become the materials for the artifact.
No, then wouldn’t it be okay for Ban Yu-won to use this to create artifacts himself?
“I don’t know what it is, but won’t you do it later, Ban Yu-won? The path forward is blocked, but the shift isn’t happening.”
“I’m an expert at solving such things.”
Ban Yu-won put the spoils of war… the multi-barreled gun into his bosom and turned around.
After looking around, I was soon able to find a hint that would lead me to the next room.
Parts of some grand concept (perhaps the concept that would lead to the tower’s transformation) were scattered and embedded throughout the walls.
Upon closer inspection, I saw that it was a shard of a sparkling jewel.
“I found that too. But I can’t get it out. I’m a little hesitant about destroying it.”
“It’s not about taking it out or breaking it. It’s about leaving it as is.”
“You’re saying so?”
“With a spider web.”
I could be certain of this after seeing the multi-barreled gun that came out after the elite died, that the adhesive properties of the thing’s web were not just sticky, but had the ability to completely connect objects to each other – to put it rather hastily, to fuse them.
So the classic way to conquer this room would probably be to move around and deal with the elite, then trick him into shooting web bullets at the wall, and then connect the fragments embedded in the wall with webs.
So that all the fragments that were separated can be connected and the concept can become complete.
“How… … is such an idea possible?”
“Yu-won is a genius.”
Dokgoyeon made a puzzled expression, not understanding why Ruchel was so happy.
Ban Yu-won has now become accustomed to that kind of appearance.
“Surprised by this, this kind of thing comes up quite often when playing games. Connecting distributed power sources with wires or something… … Fortunately, this can be done by simply combining them without any rules for connection.”
Now that the elite that shoots sticky bullets is dead, isn’t it impossible to break through this room?
It is unlikely that the tower will ever completely block the climber’s view.
Because it was designed to cause a shift even if the fragments were destroyed all at once.
However, just like how you found a shortcut and experienced multiple shifts in the previous 6 rooms, you can expect to receive a lot of additional rewards if you conquer it in a standard way.
“And surprisingly, I can attack in a way that goes beyond the classics.”
“Ban Yu-won, do you know that? You’re really unlucky right now.”
“So cool… … !”
“Ruchel, the more you keep asking, the weirder the class gets.”
In the first place, the semi-circle, which absorbs and verbalizes concepts from all things, does not necessarily need to borrow the power of the concept of adhesion.
As Ban Yu-won stretched out his hand, strings of concepts emerged simultaneously from the sparkling shards of jewels embedded in the wall.
“ah.”
“The jewel is broken… … .”
“It doesn’t matter if the contents are like an empty jewel.”
Soon, all the concepts came together in his mind and became one, emitting a dazzling light.
Ban Yu-won was able to read the concepts of ‘manbyeon (萬變)’, ‘origin (根源)’, ‘concealment (隱匿)’, and ‘channel (通路)’ in it.
However, they were ingeniously intertwined with the rules of the tower that Ban-yu-won could not yet follow, so it seemed impossible to separate or process any part of them.
“Now, if we just inject this into the wall.”
The moment the concept extended from his hand touched the wall, it expanded with waves of light radiating from its center, creating a hole large enough for a person to enter.
I guarantee that beyond this point, it won’t just end with a shift happening.
Could this be a shortcut to room 20?
“how is it.”
When Ban Yu-won looked around the group, everyone was showing the expected reaction.
Open-mouthed admiration is the proper audience attitude.
“… … Since the class has been clearing out everything, whether it’s traps or mazes, it no longer feels real whether we’re climbing the same tower as the other students.”
“Calm down, Light. The real tower hasn’t even started yet. According to the class, once you pass 100 rooms, the size of the rooms starts to grow out of control.”
“Didn’t we agree not to use expressions like “~~” when we passed those few rooms?”
However, for the revival of the Rebellion Channel, it may be better to increase the size of the room.
To be honest, there wasn’t much to salvage from the footage I shot today.
“It’s too easy and monotonous, what should I do? I wonder if it would have been better to have gotten caught in a maze or trap at least once… … .”
“What you just showed me is interesting enough.”
Dokgo Yeon responded in bewilderment at Ban Yu-won’s peaceful words.
But what really got interesting was from now on.
-Oh my God, an individual surpassed the design of the tower? In just 17 rooms!
―I believed you, damn it! I never thought you’d do something this big… … !
―Child, the endless life force that springs up within you has borne fruit so early!
“……huh?”
Just as the group was about to step into the hole of light.
―The tower stopped and the voices of the constellations began to be heard.
That’s quite a lot.
-The tower stopped. Because of what happened right here!
―I can’t believe we’re meeting again like this already, my dear child! May the Observer of Manan bless this meeting!
―Oh, I will appoint this place as a temporary sanctuary. Stars, please be cautious and cautious in your approach.
The surroundings turned pure white, and glowing spheres rose up from all over, enveloping the group.
A phenomenon that occurs when a large number of constellations gather in one place – constellation transformation.
A place where people can choose their constellations, rather than the constellations choosing them.
It was a moment of miracle that has never happened before in history.
