Stuck in The Tower

Episode 792: The World of Souls

Sometimes that happens.

There are times when, in a sudden moment, you make a decision in a split second and experience your body moving even faster than that.

That was me this time.

I thought it was dangerous.

[Fog Sprint (SSS) Lv.10+]

I used Fog Sprint, which is the fastest way to move at short distances.

The level has risen to the limit through repeated battles.

The foggy body passed all the obstacles and headed towards Nyangfen.

[Gold Explosion (SSS) Lv.MAX]

The moment when Nyangfun wielded a mace and used a skill.

I reached it.

Golden light flashes.

I got goosebumps all over my body from the destructive force I felt behind my back, but it didn’t stop.

It shouldn’t stay like this.

[Return of the Dead (SSS) Lv.10+]

Reclaim your body and apply buffs at the same time.

[Frozen Break (SSS) Lv.9]

[Skill level up!]

[Frozen Break (SSS) Lv.10]

[Earth Wall (S) Lv.MAX]

I built a barrier behind my back.

Using the oncoming explosion as a reaction, jump with Nyangfun in your arms.

[Equip the wingless angel’s left wing (SSS)!]

[Equip the devil’s right wing (SSS)!]

-Clud!

It rolled the nyangpun into a circle with the wings protruding from both shoulders.

I would have liked to add a few more safeguards, but I don’t have time to do so.

In fact, even if I did it again, I don’t think it would move any faster than now.

“Gongble?”

“Give me your strength.”

– Coo coo coo coo coo coo.

-Quaaaaaaaaaaa!

Roaring sound.

The feeling of thunder exploding right away, so far away from your ears.

An eerie and hot sensation arises.

-Kwasik!

-Kugugung!

I was completely engulfed in the explosion and was pushed helplessly, rolling around, hitting the ceiling and walls.

I feel like my bones will break.

The heat melted some of the skin and muscles along with the feline set.

[Excessive damage causes a fatal defect in the equipment!]

[Do you want to forcibly disable some equipment?]

“Release it!”

[The wingless angel’s left wing (SSS) is released!]

[The devil’s right wing (SSS) is released!]

The two wings disappeared again.

The wings did their job just by handling the power of the first explosion.

Since it is equipment that cannot be obtained again, it is better to retrieve it before it is completely destroyed.

If you keep it in this state, it won’t be of much help.

Then the rest.

‘I guess I’ll just have to endure it passively.’

[Iron Will (SS) Lv.MAX]

[Steel Body (SS) Lv.MAX]

[Physical Attack Resistance (SSS) Lv.MAX]

[Fire Resistance (SSS) Lv.MAX]

[Light Resistance (SSS) Lv. .MAX]

[Magic Nullification (S) Lv.MAX]

Beep—–!

My tinnitus rang from the noise that exceeded my limit, and my body was also hit by shock waves and debris and shook violently.

The feline set also lost its function a long time ago.

It breaks faster than being repaired by automatic repair.

How many shrapnel are in your back?

I don’t know.

However, I could see that the bleeding continued.

Even if you turn your body even a little, a warning sound goes off in your head.

-Chiiik.

The explosion, which seemed to go on forever, fades away.

My whole body is burning.

Not as a metaphor, but as an objective expression.

‘It’s like this even with 3 SSS level items.’

If I had just been hit, I would have died instantly.

what.

It’s a time difference, but it’s not much different now.

I still feel dizzy.

My body couldn’t move properly and my vision was blurry.

‘Die.’

Die at least once.

I was sure it was because I had died so many times.

“Gongble! “It’s okay!”

Nyangfun is restless and looking at me.

There were a few burns in the aftermath of the impact, but there were no major injuries.

I grabbed the head of the guy who was shaking.

I got dizzy from going back and forth in front of me.

As expected, the grip feels good. About 0.8 reelka.

“Will you be able to survive with that?”

He stood using Nyangpun as a cane and pointed behind him.

Truly a devastation.

The stage and the audience are no longer meaningful.

Because it was just filled with a lot of debris and collapsed debris.

Everyone here has SSS level skills.

It was built so strong that its shape would remain even if those who were no different from walking asymmetrical weapons ran wild, but that’s about it.

Even though it is imbued with so many concepts that some alloys are looked down upon.

Of course, all the protective artifacts that Nyangfun had installed were destroyed.

It’s not that it was completely useless.

If it weren’t for the walls I built and those things, I would have died right away.

“I told you to catch that guy. Who said he would blow himself up…”

– Grumpy.

My legs lost strength and I fell down.

Nyangfun, carrying me, is urgently searching through the inventory.

“Just wait a little while! “I have elixir!”

“Save that.”

Because you will come back to life anyway.

I couldn’t continue my conversation and lost consciousness.

[You have died.]

You must quickly resurrect and fight.

I saw it clearly.

The king of worship laughs when Nyangpun swings his mace.

Damn you son of a bitch. I guess you knew it would happen like this.

Somehow, he obediently gave me everything he needed to be beaten.

You’re a sneaky bastard. Nothing comes easy.

however.

“Why aren’t you alive?”

I obviously lost my mind and died.

[The concept of the underworld holds your soul.]

What?

Have you prepared anything like this?

It’s so thorough that it’s almost ridiculous.

It’s a concept prepared for when you’re in a spiritual state.

The surroundings are blurry.

It looks like a place where the King of Worshipers fought, but it’s dark and the shapes are pulsating, so it’s hard to see clearly.

The same goes for the things emitting light over there.

Rather than a human shape, it’s something to say.

‘Burning Heart Lightning Volcano? There are gold bars and trophies too.’

Those things that look close to symbols.

“Are these children’s souls?”

I think so.

The heart is a bald man, and not to mention the gold bullion, it’s a treat. I guess it’s a trophy.

It’s just like them.

I can understand other things as well.

Same goes for the guy sitting alone on the throne.

– Coo coo coo coo coo.

A man who exudes formidable force even though he is a soul.

A corpse wearing a crown.

The guy whose soul is dead makes eye contact with me.

Along with that, my rotten self came flooding back.

I guess that’s his essence.

A monster who cannot lay down his crown even after death.

“It looks ugly.”

【Is this your first time seeing the world of spirits?】

A voice that can be heard even without a body.

Same goes for me.

Even though he is speaking, in reality, the waves of his soul have reached him.

Something is itching.

Come to think of it.

‘This is the first time I’ve seen him talk like this.’

There were some people who spoke directly.

A voice that seems to ring directly in your head, not your ears.

Kilderes was like that, and Mulan Cassen on the 98th floor was like that.

Not to mention Haiden, whom I inherited.

This can’t be right.

‘Could it have been written only by those who have experienced the spirit world?’

How many times will you die in your life?

Even if you die in the tower, you will only be resurrected, but you will not be able to get a glimpse into the spirit world like this.

This time, I could see it because of the concept he used.

【Nothing reveals a person better than the soul. Looking at it again, I feel like I sent a good gift.】

The guy laughs.

The corpse’s skin cracked, giving it an ugly appearance, but the bastard didn’t seem to care.

no wonder.

I wondered how he sent me the right gift, but he saw something different.

I quietly looked around.

What did he want from me that brought me to the spirit world?

Wasting time?

I don’t think so.

The scenery around me seemed to have stopped.

To be exact, it was moving very slowly.

In the world of the soul, time flows differently.

I narrowed my eyes.

This might be an opportunity.

‘If you kill him here, your soul dies.’

Since it has the concept of a king, I don’t know if it can be killed, but it should be possible to inflict damage.

I immediately stretched out my hand and tried to throw the fire bomb.

【It will be of no use. Because you won’t be able to kill me.】

Nothing happened.

Fire bomb does not go out.

The same applies when using other skills.

【All the skills and techniques you use are in your body.】

[Concept bondage is constricting your body.]

-Guguguguguguk.

The purple rope secures my body.

【On the other hand, the concept is not like that. A stigma engraved on the soul and proof of life. That’s the concept.】

I know that too.

It was like that when I first accepted the concept explosion into my body.

I was wondering why you called me to the spirit world.

‘I guess he called it to his advantage.’

I have three concepts, but there are countless others.

For some reason, I wondered if Chaos Fragments only used concepts without skills, and this was probably the reason.

Dense.

It must have been a trap prepared because he knew that I had a life ahead of him.

Gradually, the force that was squeezing me became stronger, but I forced myself to raise the corners of my mouth.

I’m thinking of getting some information out of this situation.

I was curious after seeing his reaction.

“Did you know I was going to attack you?”

【The world of the soul is an honest law. Your emotions are filled with anger.】

Indeed.

You can hide your facial expressions, but you can’t hide your inner feelings.

just as expected.

As I look around, the colors emanating from my soul are subtly different.

Usually red.

There was no need to think about what it meant.

Because I was feeling emotions without a filter.

anger. Or fear. Underneath the thick pain, faint sadness and excitement can be seen.

It was okay when I wasn’t conscious of it, but once I became conscious of it, it came in like a flood.

“Woof!”

I feel sick, like when I drink too much alcohol.

【Humans are overwhelmed by their own emotions. This is why you can’t completely understand others.】

Because the moment you fully understand, you can’t handle it.

The guy was muttering something behind his back, but I didn’t have time to pay attention to that.

Just trying to control my condition right now is making me break into a cold sweat.

‘How did the other guys survive?’

Is there a separate training method?

Or maybe I’m just used to it.

As the influence of others increases, my own territory decreases.

Whether intentional or not, we are being directly affected.

Is it thanks to that? I can feel his emotions as well.

Boring. A feeble joy. joy.

His body must have been torn to pieces, but he didn’t feel any pain.

Now I understand.

Just like last time, this time too, he had no interest in being physically injured.

In the first place, for him, the body is nothing more than a vessel in which he stores concepts.

That’s its true form.

It is a soul.

【A person who has not achieved the status of a soul. It will eventually collapse. I will even check your qualifications.】

The corpse sitting on the throne slowly raises its finger.

be mad

As if to prove that he is the true king, his spirit was amazing, and just by making eye contact, I felt like my heart had been mortgaged.

I guess it’s similar since I’m actually caught in his restraints.

[Eyes watching the SSS-level power star frown at the first star.]

Shall we say it is fortunate?

It seems like the power works beyond the concept.

[Concept submission weighs you down.]

-Kugugung!

“Keuuuuu!”

The force weighing me down becomes stronger.

A feeling of stagnation, as if you were being sucked somewhere underground!

I feel like my strong-held soul will be crushed.

【You will become a masterpiece. A new star will be born.】

A star. That damn star!

A fragment of chaos that receives a new name from the tower.

Why do you want to make me like that?

He even gives me a damn hidden quest and calls me to the 100th floor, and he’s obsessed with me.

【We are observers of a world about to be destroyed.】

Sigh!

I feel like my body will break as I try to hold on.

He wants a kingdom.

He seeks to establish an immortal kingdom within a tower that will exist forever.

【It won’t be long before new people arrive.】

Some of those coming up from the destroyed world will become worshipers.

That’s how his kingdom will be maintained.

A truly frightening obsession.

I felt like my soul was going to burst from the immense pressure, but my head was spinning quickly.

I understand why he creates chaos fragments.

To maintain the tower.

To create a new people.

But the reason is still not solved.

‘The reason why you want to make me more than an ordinary fragment of chaos!’

Did all the Chaos Shards have quests like mine?

I think absolutely not.

Then there is only one thing left.

I trembled and turned my head.

I forcefully raised the corners of my mouth.

“Do you need something in the tower?”

There is a problem with the tower.

So, let’s be evil and want a new star.

I’ve been thinking about it for a while.

Is it enough to simply climb to the 100th floor?

No one knows about those who reached the 100th floor.

At most, it was only known that the fragments of chaos had reached the 100th floor.

It is not clear whether reaching the 100th floor will save the world or not.

Heiden said it was meaningless to say it, but I need to know.

Fortunately, thanks to him, I found a clue.

so.

“…The conversation ends here, damn you.”

[Conceptual rebelliousness exposes its teeth!]

[SSS-level power, the unyielding swordsman overcomes external pressure!]

I’m out of here.
