Lesson 40. No Alien Allowed - 3

The Orc Chief wasn’t just so lightweight, replaceable part as Ban Yu-won initially thought. If the re eting of an Orc and a Relic could cause imdiate Resonance, wouldn’t the universe have already been conquered by Orcs? Only certain Orcs could resonate with a Relic, and reselecting them took longer than Ban Yu-won expected.

[The Relic is breaking, so isn’t the battle over, Master?]

“That’s not the case, Luciel. The Orc Wave is still ongoing.”

Even though the Relic was being split by Eve’s fantastic infiltration followed by Abyss’s drill attack, it was hard to imagine the Relic being nullified just like that. Even trying to launch an additional attack was difficult as the Orc ships desperately gathered to protect the Relic, making it hard to find an opening.

Is Eve okay in the midst of that chaos? Can she escape safely with Abyss…?

‘Well, if it’s Eve’s Ever-changing, she’ll probably manage sohow…’

Even as Ban Yu-won thought this, he did what he could imdiately. First, he retrieved Abel, whose activity ti had ended, and fed him an elixir candy from Lilith to recover.

[Master, what’s that?!]

“That’s why I said drills are the best. Good job, Lilith.”

He fully dealt with the results of a battle that he still didn’t quite understand how it ended so cleanly.

[You have gained 20 Life, 13 Origin Body, 25 Origin Qi, 9 Soul, 50 Leadership, 15 Charm, 48 Riding, 50 Super Strength, and 4 Star Trace.]

[Punishing a great sinner deepens the depth of Judgent by 20.]

[You have personally ended the life of a distant superior enemy! The depth of Rebellion deepens by 7.]

Concepts extracted from the Orc Chief, including Wildness. Nothing particularly special or new was obtained. After all, they were Orcs he had faced plenty of tis. But even after sharing a considerable amount with Luciel, the level was still astounding. Ban Yu-won, who had been growing painfully slowly since reaching 800 Life, suddenly surpassed 900 just by taking the Chief’s head.

‘Co to think of it, it was thanks to Judgent and Rebellion that I could kill him so easily.’

Judgent, a concept that increases one’s abilities when facing evildoers, and Rebellion, a concept that enhances abilities when facing a superior enemy. With these two concepts applied simultaneously, it’s no wonder his final sword strike traced a fantastic trajectory.

‘Still, I can’t fully accept it. It wasn’t enough to devour the Constellation’s power. Moreover, a kind of power that even the Origin Blade couldn’t fully grasp was at work… Power?’

Ban Yu-won’s eyes narrowed. Was it the power of an ability that had just acted on him? Probably not his own ability. If so…

“Yu-won!”

Just before Ban Yu-won could co to a conclusion in his mind, a reinforcent ship approached their location. Ban Yu-won reverted Luciel, who had exhausted her energy, back to her human form, cradling her in one arm as he faced those appearing beyond the opening hatch of the spaceship.

Two won, two n. And none of them, as if it were natural, wore spacesuits.

“How have you been? Yu-won, you seem to get more charming every ti I see you!”

“It hasn’t been that long since we parted.”

Ban Yu-won replied with a wry smile to Aneri, the woman at the forefront of the group, recognizing her unchanged appearance.

“Anyway, thanks for coming, Aneri. I’d like to greet the others too, but the situation is urgent, so let’s focus on stopping that Orc Wave first…”

“Wait.”

One of the two n, a pale young man, raised a hand slightly and stepped forward. He wore ordinary clothes with a sword belt hanging at his waist, exuding a strangely hollow atmosphere… almost like an illusion rather than a solid presence.

“Are you Ban Yu-won?”

“Yes? Uh, yes… So, you’re a mber of Level Force, right?”

“That’s correct, but the one I support isn’t you.”

The young man replied curtly, looking at Ban Yu-won and the Luciel in his arms with a very displeased expression. Snorting once, he focused his gaze on Ban Yu-won, scrutinizing his face as if he were examining an enemy rather than a fan. There seed to be so intent, but there really wasn’t ti for this!

“This is Level Force’s No.2! His na is… what was it again?”

“Naless.”

“Right, Mr. Naless!”

That’s a pseudonym, you idiot…

For a mont, both Ban Yu-won and Naless turned to Aneri with incredulous expressions, but she just smiled brightly. No, knowing her, she probably did it on purpose. As Ban Yu-won sighed, Aneri continued speaking without erasing her smile.

“It seems the situation is indeed urgent. If the Relic maintains its spirituality even when halved, who knows how much larger the Orc Wave will grow… Mr. Naless, since we’ve started introductions, shall we finish them? Could you go ahead and stop those things?”

“Hmph.”

Naless snorted at Aneri’s attitude, which seed to treat him like a subordinate, but realizing he was wasting ti holding Ban Yu-won up in an urgent situation, he naturally drew his sword and stepped into space. In the next mont, he collided with the vanguard of the Orc fleet.

“?!”

Since completing the Origin Blade, Ban Yu-won had never completely lost track of another’s movents. Even when he clashed with the Orc Chief earlier, though he was purely outmatched in a level fight, he had analyzed and responded to the Chief’s movents. But just now… he couldn’t read the man’s movents at all. It was as if he had vanished completely from his domain. Of course, if his sword were to fly at Ban Yu-won, it would be a different story, but at least for now, it was clear that Ban Yu-won couldn’t hope to compete with him.

“He’s a man of many secrets. He’s definitely one of our early mbers, though.”

“How did you bring him in?”

“The president arranged it. We picked him up from the C-grade Dinsion’s Third Terminal.”

Ban Yu-won didn’t quite understand what a dinsion terminal was, but he guessed it might be a kind of rest stop for dinsional rcenaries who usually stayed in space.

“Correct! You know how dinsional walls intersect infinitely? There are quite a few small spaces within the fragnted dinsions that don’t form independent civilizations. They classify and number them by the grade of nearby dinsions, creating spaces where those who frequently cross dinsions can rest, which is what a dinsion terminal is.”

“Thanks for the detailed explanation. But as I said earlier, we don’t have ti to be leisurely…”

“Look.”

Aneri grinned and pointed forward, prompting Ban Yu-won to squint and turn around. There, he saw dozens of Orc ships being brutally destroyed.

“What… is that?”

It made the efforts of Ban Yu-won’s group seem foolish. Of course, if they hadn’t stepped in to decapitate the Orc Chief, no matter how strong, it would have been difficult to push the enemy back like that. But now, with the man’s abilities, Ban Yu-won was sure he could have handled the Orc Chief easily.

Aneri puffed out her chest proudly, even though she wasn’t the one fighting.

“He’s strong. I knew it the mont I saw him.”

“He’s really strong. Was there even a need for

to co?”

A woman, presumably a mber of Level Force, stepped forward, agreeing with Aneri. She wore a deep hood, and though her voice and mannerisms were entirely those of an old woman, the power she exuded was so deep and vast that Ban Yu-won couldn’t fathom it.

“Since he doesn’t want to reveal his na, I’ll keep mine hidden too. I joined Level Force as the ninth mber. You can call

Honey Nine.”

“Nine… ma’am.”

“You can just call

Grandma if you prefer.”

Judging by her deanor, she certainly seed like a grandma… But as seen with Mina, who was 500 years old, age is often just a decoration for transcendents. Moreover, such people often turn out to be peerless beauties… Ban Yu-won decided to call her Nine until the box was opened.

“Ms. Nine was the first to express her intention to participate. She joined at the A-grade Dinsion Terminal! At the A-grade dinsion level, there are fewer dinsional fragnts, so there’s only one terminal.”

“Thanks for reading the textbook verbatim.”

“Master.”

As Ban Yu-won was caught in the surreal developnt of greeting fan club mbers in the middle of space, Luciel called out to him. Her eyes were fixed on the middle-aged man, No.2, who was committing overwhelming slaughter ahead.

“That person, it’s not his real body.”

“What do you an, Luciel? Are you saying that man slicing ships with a single sword strike is a fake?”

“Yes. My eyes can’t be fooled. It’s a kind of clone created with massive Magic Power. I know because if I grow a bit more, I can do sothing similar.”

Ban Yu-won, who possessed the All-Reading Eyes, hadn’t detected anything. But Luciel’s eyes, shining with a mysterious light, held no deceit. To create such a powerful clone, how strong must No.2’s true form be…?

“Is it true…”

“Ho, I just realized it too. You’re quite sothing, young lady.”

“Mr. No.2? …Of course, I knew all along!”

Nine nodded, seemingly impressed, while Aneri feigned ignorance with a poker face. Ban Yu-won realized an important fact from their reactions. His All-Reading Eyes could indeed read everything, but there were limits. It wasn’t that there was a limit to what he could read. Since his All-Reading Eyes depended on Ban Yu-won himself, they didn’t work well against those far stronger than him.

‘I can’t believe I forgot such an obvious fact.’

In fact, even after spending considerable ti with Yumina, he could only read her surface emotions. When it ca to the Principal or Xenon, it was out of the question. He had only recently begun to faintly understand Dokgo Yeon’s emotions, so no matter how strong his abilities were, they were aningless if he didn’t grow stronger himself. This realization was a good opportunity to reflect on his growing arrogance.

“…Huh?”

After a mont of reflection, Ban Yu-won noticed a man standing a bit away from the group, maintaining an indifferent attitude as if he had nothing to do with them.

“And who is this? He doesn’t seem like a fan club mber. Is he perhaps…”

“Yes, he’s a newcor!”

“Tsk…!”

A large man clicked his tongue openly at Ban Yu-won.

“You’re the one who killed Ketra, aren’t you? I understand there were various things between the two… no, three of you, but Ketra was my comrade. If you think I’ll lend my strength willingly…”

“Newbie, charge.”

“Sister, I’m talking here!”

“Charge. Into that Orc fleet.”

“Damn… youuuuuuuuu!”

The man, unable to protest further, grabbed his weapon and bravely charged into space. Aneri is rciless even with her subordinates. Ban Yu-won thought this with a wry smile as he spoke.

“Then let’s go too. No matter how strong Mr. Naless is, he can’t handle the fleet alone…”

“…Huh? Look over there.”

Despite having just t, Nine, who had already started speaking casually to everyone, raised her hand and pointed forward again. Ban Yu-won turned his head, wondering if No.2 had finally destroyed the flagship. What he saw was the fragnts of hundreds of asteroids glowing red. The problem was that thousands of Orc ships were also glowing red.

“The Constellation… is sacrificing its power to do sothing.”

Nine spat out the words with disdain.

“Those damned things.”

And then it began. A teor shower targeting Earth.
