Episode 217 – Babel
Halo.
In other words, I remember the feeling of maintaining the sacred state. Not with your head, but with your body.
But the problem is that this is not something that can be realized just by knowing it sensuously.
Even if you try to approach it with the feeling of ‘creating a circle outside the body’ like I did back then, it doesn’t really work.
I didn’t change anything at the time, but the fact that it didn’t work… Maybe.
‘I guess it’s because I wasn’t pushed into an extreme situation.’
Because I was in a situation where I would die if I couldn’t grow to the next level right away.
Moreover, not only my life but also the lives of my friends were in danger.
‘… It’s a big deal.’
It’s already been two months.
It means that two months have passed since the attack by Leon and Nightmare.
However, divinity has not yet been created. Not once.
‘As expected.’
What I need now is not training.
You just need practice to push yourself to the limit.
But another problem arises here.
How many enemies are left in this world that are difficult to defeat even with all my might?
At least you can’t just go to random places and catch scoundrels who are trying to make a name for themselves.
Even when I went to experience the last rear battle line, there was never any danger except for the Four Heavenly Kings.
The only thing I can find close by is Di Nanastia, but fighting them is just a form of training.
Even if you lose, there is no particular risk. Because of this, it is impossible to push yourself to the limit.
Then there is only one thing left.
“Babel.”
The Tower of Omniscience is said to contain all the knowledge of the universe. It was time to head there.
There will definitely be a lot of strong enemies there.
At present, it is an unknown tower that has never been conquered by humans.
In other words, even the strong people who have existed so far have failed to climb to the top of the tower.
Even the warriors of the past.
‘If it had been a party of heroes who had reached divinity, they could have made it to the top.’
Except for me, the only warrior party that reached the level of divinity was the first warrior party, but in that era of war, there was probably no time to climb Babel.
It was a place I had to go to anyway.
Things about the devil. Things about demons.
And even things about divinity. Because there were a lot of things I wanted to know.

Once you have decided on your destination, there is no reason to delay.
Straight away, Stia, Dina, Selly, Ceria, Scarlett, Kania, and Jasangnam.
I unilaterally notified the best party members in my opinion.
“What?! “I don’t want to go!”
Scarlett expressed her intention that she did not want to go with her whole body… What can I do?
From the beginning, she had no choice.
Stia and Celie had a mission to fight the devil together with me, so there was no reason to refuse in the first place.
Seria is just a set with Selly.
Dina… Even before I suggested that he go first, he said he would follow.
Jasangnam actually welcomed the message that he was heading to Babel and told him to follow him.
“A sacred battle awaits me! Valhalla——!”
The child became even more strange after not seeing him for a while. Now it seems that the race itself has changed to barbarian.
And lastly, Cania.
“Do you want to go?”
“… ….”
Nod.
Kania just had no thoughts.
Anyway, the members to head to Babel have been decided.
Now there is one difficulty that needs to be resolved, and that is the academy.
We are still students at the academy. If you miss the class without permission, you will be marked as absent.
We all gathered together and thought about it together for about 15 minutes, but while we couldn’t think of a suitable solution, Jasangnam said.
“Can’t we just hit the academy?”
It was crazy.
For me, the academy is already a home-like space. The shabby house I lived in when I first became possessed has long since been erased from my memory.

In that sense, the option of missing the Academy for a few days was enough, but the option of giving up and leaving was in my head… Uh?
“Isn’t it okay to just skip school without permission?”
Lately, I’ve been absent a lot without permission, so my attendance days are a little intermittent….
If you conquer the barbell in two weeks and come back, wouldn’t you be narrowly safe?
Unlike regular schools, the number of days of attendance at the academy is somewhat limited.
‘There must be so many unique people.’
From people with unique circumstances to students with distinct personalities, to students with so much pride that they quit the academy and go on missions.
It is a bit loose due to various overlapping circumstances.
And from now on, we are students with so much pride that they leave the academy and go on a mission. I plan to go into this category.
“Okay! Let’s do it!”
“Eh?! Nope! I have to study… !”
Scarlett tried to voice her disapproval, but Dinah wouldn’t listen and she said, “Mate!” She said and clapped her hands.
The very next moment, we were several kilometers away from the academy.
‘As expected, it’s convenient to have a wizard.’
Unlike the last time I had a chase with the teacher, I was able to escape from the academy very easily.
Moreover, Dinah didn’t look tired at all. Since she teleported this many people, it must have taken a lot of magical power….
‘Dina is a munchkin….’
If this world were a novel, wouldn’t Dina be the main character?
Black magic and magic that looks very strong and ominous at first glance. Munchkin-like force that is as strong as the effect.
A graceful and beautiful appearance that can be described as a goddess.
A past family situation that cannot be seen without tears.
No matter where you put it, you can only see it as the main character.
I also want to be the main character… ! I swallow my anger and move on.
“Okay. Now let’s go to Babel.”
We packed plenty of food and weapons in our respective subspace bracelets. Now all that’s left is to really get into the barbell.
But….
“Does anyone know where to go?”
The problem is that you don’t know the way. Besides, I’m not the only one who doesn’t know. Everyone seems to have no idea which way to go.
“Ha….”
These guys, even though they live in a world blessed by the goddess of the Internet, don’t they even have common sense?
“I’m sorry, Siwoo. I do not know….”
“It’s okay, Dina. You may not know. “Actually, I asked because I didn’t know.”
Isn’t common sense something that changes little by little with the times and the flow of the world?
I thought it was possible.
However, there was one person among us who was unexpected and had real common sense.
“I know.”
“What… !”
That’s what Kania said as she slightly raised her hand!
‘That’s right! ‘She seems to live with her brain blank, so I sometimes forget her, but Kania is basically an honor student!’
His written test scores are always at the top, and his practical skills seem to be lacking compared to other children, including me, but he almost always gets a perfect score by academy standards.
Although he usually appears a bit foolish and absent-minded… ! Actually, we were the real fools!
“Road. Shall I tell you?”
“Yes! “Which way should I go?”
“Um… “I won’t tell you.”
“Yes?”
I didn’t expect this.
After being dazed for a moment at the completely unexpected answer, I finally came to my senses and asked.
“Why… Is it okay if I ask if you don’t want to tell me….”
“Just?”
“… Maybe I did something wrong? “If that’s the case, I sincerely apologize.”
“Hmm.”
Cania doesn’t look very desirable. She made a small gesture, and she fell to her knees right then and there.
“Please… ! Please let me know… ! “The road to Babel!”
“Hmm….”
While Kania was touching her chin and contemplating, Dina could be heard struggling behind her.
“Si, Siu… What are you doing so dirty? .”
“It’s dirty! I am sincerely trying to apologize to Kania for her, but are you saying this heart of mine is dirty?”
“That’s not it, there’s dirt on her knees…” .”
“Aha.”
I tried to stand up slowly after hearing those words.
“Hmmm….”
Her eyes met with Kania, who was looking at me intently and making noises again, and then she quietly got down on her knees again.
What is it? What did I really do wrong? Nothing in particular comes to mind?
‘Oh, perhaps.’
Did someone steal the snacks that Kania hid under her desk and ate in secret?
Or is it because I hit him too hard during sparring last time?
Maybe Dina cheated on the text message she sent me while we were sparring for a date?
Either that or….
Just as all my thoughts were coming to my mind, I suddenly heard a voice.
Growling─.
I searched to see where this thunderous noise was coming from, and found that it was none other than Cania’s ship.
Are you hungry? Maybe you were in a bad mood because you were hungry?
Do you think it would be okay if I take a break first and then go after eating here? ?
Then something suddenly occurred to me.
“… Do you want to drink blood?”
He had been forgetting about his regular blood transfusions with Kania for several months.
“Would you like to drink?”
As expected. Cania smiled broadly and nodded her head, which was rare.
… Okay. If you want to drink blood, you should. I felt Dina’s hot gaze from behind… If Cania does not guide her, she may collapse from exhaustion before the party can reach Babel.
