I got into school for nothing (201)
Lesson 40. No Alien Allowed - 1
‘What to do now?’
Although he had put on a grand display, with Cellon, who had always reliably stood by his side, now gone, a subtle pressure began to build.
His vassals were following orders, attacking the Orc fleet from the outside, but compared to the Starlight Magic that had annihilated millions in an instant, the speed of their assault was akin to ants crawling.
For Ban Yuwon to annihilate that many Orcs alone was an impossibility, and the only possibility was to destroy the Relic at the core of that Orc Wave—but even then, charging into the center of the horde by himself was out of the question.
‘So, what I can do right now is block the Orcs' advance here as much as possible and wait, then, when reinforcements arrive, assault the Relic with them.’
Whether it was fortunate or not, finding the Relic wasn't difficult.
At the center of the fleet, there was a massive battleship, resembling a gigantic rock that anyone would call an asteroid, roughly carved and sanded down.
While looking at the overall scale of the Orcs, those aboard the Relic comprised less than 5% of the total, the rest were inside the other ships....
‘Presumably, those on the Relic are the elite forces.’
Cellon's Starlight Magic, Starlight Shower, though precisely aimed at the Relic, only destroyed the innocent surrounding ships.
As long as the Relic exists, the Orc Wave can be restored indefinitely—.
That's why they ruthlessly sacrificed their subordinate Orcs.
While Ban Yuwon attempted to snipe with light lasers created by photon magic, he also communicated via resonance with the vassal most exceptional in sniping.
‘Tikke, can you snipe it?’
—Whirrrr, whir-r-r-ing
Right, it's impossible after all.
Considering it was just a simple reply, its whining was unusually long, and upon reflection, it seemed that the fellow believed it was its turn to obtain Manbyeon this time.
But since it was naturally given to Cellon, it had received a great shock and was heartbroken... heartbroken?
Honestly, Ban Yuwon hadn't even thought about it.
Perhaps everyone considered this a special reward?
...Surely all of his vassals weren't thinking that, were they?
‘Next time I get one, I’ll definitely give it to you.’
—Whirrrrrrr!
Of course, Manbyeon is an extremely special, top-tier concept.
It's also one of the concepts Ban Yuwon can't even temporarily imitate....
Yet, it would be difficult to handle something like that, what on earth was Tikke thinking?
For a moment, he imagined all of his vassals obtaining Manbyeon and transforming into Lilyth-like beings, and he shuddered, but he decided that couldn't possibly be it.
He didn't know how many more vassals he'd create in the future, and if he thought about a new worry cropping up every time he created a vassal, he couldn't bear it.
‘Hiss, hiss-hiss.’
‘Hm?’
Eve, who had been freely swimming through space, looking for an opening to infiltrate the Orc fleet, overheard Ban Yuwon and Tikke's resonance and conveyed her intentions to him.
...This fellow should be able to speak Korean after obtaining Manbyeon, yet did it insist on maintaining Serpentine (the language of snakes)?
He didn't mind it too much, feeling like Harry Potter conversing with a snake.
‘Did something come to mind, Eve?’
‘Hiss.’
Eve confidently nodded and explained her plan.
Among his vassals, it was always Eve who delivered a decisive blow at critical moments.
From what he heard, it seemed plausible this time too.
‘Alright, go then. Eve, I choose you!’
‘Hiss-hiss-hiss!’
The creature, accompanied by one of Ban Yuwon's vassals as a weapon, slenderized its body and charged like an arrow.
The other vassals, having read its intentions, moved exaggeratedly to create an opening, and Eve was soon able to slip through the gaps in the Orcs.
How? By transforming into an Orc!
Starlight Shower had instantly shaved off 20% of the Orc fleet's strength, which must have caused confusion in their command structure. Eve's idea was to exploit that opening and somehow stop them.
It was an utterly daring move, and against a highly intelligent race, it would likely fail, but for Orcs, it might just work—that was the shared thought between Eve and Ban Yuwon.
‘As expected, Eve is more about versatility than burst firepower.’
He continued to fire lasers, slowly approaching the Orc fleet himself.
Meanwhile, the transformed Lilyth spaceship was seen charging towards the Orc fleet.
From within, a firebird—and a massive, nine-tailed quadruped, appearing to be both a fox and a wolf—were seen leaping out into space.
‘That fox must be Rucell.... Kiira is the firebird, is it the Authority of the Follower of Ten Thousand Kalpas? She handles it so freely even after the contract was dissolved.’
Ban Yuwon had praised himself, boasting that thanks to the concepts he possessed, he could move freely even in space, but for those two, that level of ability seemed to be a basic feature.
Especially Rucell, who had fully awakened the blood flowing through her body, swiftly claimed space as her territory, absorbing mana and moving freely. Seeing her, one could vaguely guess how formidable the Divine Beast's blood flowing through her truly was.
‘To think I was going to bestow the concept of Divinization upon someone who had awakened divine blood on their own.’
Rucell's parents, Lucia and Kanid, would scoff if they heard that.
In any case, thanks to that, Divinization and Manbyeon remained, allowing Manbyeon to be given to Cellon....
So, what should he do with Divinization?
‘It's no use for me.’
Should he give it to Eve?
If it were her, she could perfectly accept and digest this concept too....
However, it was a concept he had only obtained once so far, and he felt it would be a waste to use it casually.
‘Let's keep it for now.’
Surely, a moment would come when it would be needed.
By the time Ban Yuwon emerged from his thoughts and raised his head, Rucell, transformed into a colossal beast, had already arrived right before him.
‘Master, please ride me!’
“Alright.”
Her intention pierced directly into his mind.
He readily accepted Rucell's suggestion, as she moved more deftly in space than he did, and the firebird flying behind them said with a hint of regret.
‘Ah, I wanted to try that too!’
Perhaps because the vastness of space distorted perspective, once he mounted Rucell's back, her height was almost thirty meters.
She must be thoroughly burning the Wildness she had diligently accumulated, and after this battle, she would surely achieve tremendous growth once again.
Furthermore, among the core concepts of the enemy Orcs they were facing, there was Wildness....
“I’ll pour Wildness into you by the asteroid-load, so look forward to it.”
‘Hahahaha... Thank you. I love you, Master.’
‘You two, all that flirting all the time, that wasn't just a concept, it was real?’
A battlefield with an infinite fuel supply.
As long as Rucell was there, they wouldn't be the first to collapse from exhaustion.
The problem was that this wasn't a hunting ground where they could hunt freely, but a battlefield where they absolutely had to block the enemy....
‘Should I leave that to Eve...?’
It was truly astonishing, but it seemed its movements were effective, as the fleet's advance was already slowing down.
While he didn't expect it to deal with the main ship (asteroid), just buying time like this would create suitable conditions for Ban Yuwon's party to wreak havoc.
Now then.
‘Lilyth.’
‘I'm ready!’
Since all the passengers were out, Lilyth no longer needed to maintain her spaceship form.
Lilyth, having completed her core transformation, slashed through space and charged straight towards the fleet, expressing her desperate resolve to Ban Yuwon.
‘If I survive without dying, you have to give that entire Relic to me!’
‘I don't know if that'll even fall into my hands, but I'll do my best to make it happen!’
Frost Fortress, Hell Auger, Heaven-Shattering Cannon, and Gwangjo and Heukrang, each using their bulk to destroy ships one by one, received Lilyth's signal and sequentially raised their heads.
Then, towards Lilyth, who was flying in as if to block the fleet's path, they flung themselves one by one and combined!
The combined robot, Abel, completed in an instant, found its true stage and displayed its valiant form, but unfortunately, the Orc Wave's ships were too massive for it to block.
However, this was not the end.
‘Master!’
‘Take it!’
Ban Yuwon bestowed all the concept of a giant that he had obtained during a solo exploration of the Tower, upon Abel.
The Language Magic, exerted with full power by permanently consuming a fixed concept—also had fantastic compatibility, successfully inflating Abel's size by at least tenfold!
‘I can only hold out for 5 more minutes!’
‘Don't overdo it, if you feel you can't hold on, just escape!’
Lilyth spoke as if she was apologetic, but from Ban Yuwon's perspective, the operating time had increased by 2 minutes compared to last time, which was a relief.
“Rucell, let's follow behind that!”
‘Yes!’
‘No, what is that?!’
Kiira, who had witnessed the combined robot Abel, as well as the obligatory giant transformation seen in robot movie adaptations, from the best possible vantage point, exclaimed in bewilderment, but there was no time to slowly explain it to her now!
“Kiira, charge! Abel will create an opening, and we'll exploit it!”
‘Tsk, no choice then!’
The colossal robot sped through space, blocking the vanguard of the fleet!
Following behind, a gigantic land beast and a flying beast, each claiming the right and left flanks, unleashed their Authorities, causing even the Orc Wave to falter.
If he could have simply watched this absurd clash on a monitor, he would have just clapped, calling it truly thrilling, but he couldn't understand how he had ended up in the middle of it all.
“Destroy them all! Any concept we obtain, we use it right here, right now!”
‘Understood!’
If one were to forcibly name Rucell's current form, would it be something like a Nine-tailed Devourer Wolf?
No, there couldn't possibly be a beast that had awakened both the blood of a Nine-tailed Fox and a Devourer Wolf, so Rucell could only be described as Rucell.
—Boom! CRASH!
As Abel, Rucell, and Kiira simultaneously raged, unleashing colossal swords, lightning, and flames, the Orc fleet's vanguard was miserably shattered by the dreadful clash of magic.
Ban Yuwon absorbed all those concepts, including those left by the 20% of Orcs annihilated by long-range bombardment earlier, and instantly bestowed them upon his companions.
Even consuming all four core concepts: Life, Body, Mana, and Soul!
‘Even so, for Orcs, no matter how much they absorb this, permanent growth is hard to expect. But what if I use this with Language Magic? What if I burn it all for this very moment?’
He didn't even wish for the same efficiency as Rucell's Wildness Furnace.
However, the concepts created as countless Orcs died were consumed on the spot, becoming an excellent energy source that propelled not only Ban Yuwon, Rucell, and Kiira, but also Abel, allowing them to rampage at full power without exhaustion!
‘Master, our operating time has increased! As expected, core concepts are efficient!’
‘Huh, what's this? What's this?!’
‘Master... give me Wildness too!’
It was something he had never done before, but its efficiency was outstanding.
Ban Yuwon once again understood why his Authority was so overpowered.
Until now, he had merely focused on accumulating concepts, never once daring to entertain the extravagant idea of consuming all those concepts on the spot.
His Authority truly shone brightest on a battlefield overflowing with enemies!
“Good, we can do this... Tikke, are you recording properly?”
—Whirrrrrrr!
If he uploaded this video to the Rebellion channel, ten billion views were a sure thing!
Ban Yuwon bestowed the entire Wildness that poured out as one Orc fleet was shattered upon Rucell, and shouted loudly.
“Damn Orcs! Earth is off-limits to aliens!”
