Stuck in The Tower

Chapter 795:

As soon as I opened my eyes to find the portal, I straightened up.

There was a message saying he was dead, so this is where I am now.

“It’s the 96th floor.”

“Yes.”

“Oh! Deokchun!”

I smiled at the familiar crying sound that greeted me.

The guy jumps up to me.

I’m so happy to see you even though I haven’t seen you in a few days.

Deokchun must be happy too, as he doesn’t show much resistance even when I rub him here and there and touch him here and there.

I possessed the grandmother who saw her grandson and checked Deokchun’s condition.

“Why is she so skinny?”

“Him?”

‘What nonsense?’ It was an expression like that, but it seemed that way to my eyes.

It is clear that I lost about 100 grams.

-slap!

“Ouch. “How does it seem like your strength has gotten stronger?”

Judging by the way he suddenly touches his cheek, his personality is still the same.

I came to my senses by rubbing my numb cheek.

How much time has passed since I died?

Is Jaekyung Park, who died before me, still here?

More than anything, I’m worried that the others will be okay if I die.

First of all, from the community.

“Luckily, I don’t think we were completely wiped out or anything like that.”

There are messages left by members.

[Hair loss on your head]: Emergency escape! Wow!

[Licking the top of his head]: Hey! Gongdu! If you’re still alive, leave a reply. We may not be able to answer because we are escaping

[Mean Meow Punch]: Failed to kill the King of Worshipers ㅌㅌ!

“I guess I couldn’t kill him in the end.”

It’s unfortunate, but it doesn’t mean you can’t understand.

Don’t you know it because you’ve dealt with it? This guy is a monster.

A tower monster born from the accumulation of power beyond common sense and eons of time.

On the contrary, I felt fortunate.

I’m glad it was me who got sucked into the spirit world, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to die properly and would have been captured by that guy.

He would not be able to be resurrected or leave the tower.

Even so.

“It was a good opportunity.”

Not only did I go to the place where it was, but it also took a toll on my body as I eliminated many concepts in the spirit world.

I thought it was probably the weakest timing, but there was just one thing I overlooked.

[Mean Meow Punch]: I hit it with all my might, but it didn’t kill me!

[Hair loss on your head]: Honestly, I thought I was going to die. agreed?

“The power was weak.”

Nyangfun is the core and main character of this operation.

Nyangfun’s deal wasn’t enough.

The only one who was recognized as king was Nyangpun, so it was the last guy’s job.

I didn’t expect this.

Was the Gold Explosion not enough?

If a golden mace was used, its destructive power cannot be weak.

Maybe it was a concept weapon, so it could have been countered with a different concept.

Excluding Gold Explosion, Nyangfun is more specialized in support and utility, so its destructive power is relatively low.

I don’t know the details because I wasn’t there.

[Mean Meow Punch]: Disappointed! His body wasn’t even one piece!

[Lick the top of the head]: Honestly, if you killed him twice, wouldn’t it be the right thing to do? You don’t play fair.

[Your hair is falling out]: But you ran away the third time. He was taken aback too!

[Licking the top of his head]: Well, I’m glad I missed it, so

I think I’ll recover later. Were there even more bodies?

Then there is nothing we can do.

To him, the body is nothing more than a container to store concepts.

It was safe to say that the body was a soul.

“It wouldn’t be strange if they used concepts like avatars or dolls.”

Just destroying his body twice is a great achievement.

This is why it’s so annoying to have so many concepts.

In any case, we confirmed that the members were safe.

If you are wiped out here, you are mentally strong, but it is difficult to seize the next opportunity.

Actually, I still feel anxious.

Since they seem to be having conversations as a community, they seem to be scattered.

There must have been a battle even after I died, and the damage is considerable.

‘I think more than half of the NPCs got hit, and even the Jiri Fairy got hit. Smile Cap is unable to fight. It looks like Nyangpun fought close to self-destruction, so it seems like he won’t be able to fight for a while.’

wait for a sec.

Something suddenly occurred to me.

There was an insurance policy for situations like this.

Tsumra.

A guy who became an archmage not through skills, but through his own abilities.

[Petit Gongdue]: Gong☆Du Boo♡Bow!

[Petit Gongdu]: Isn’t there a tsumra there? I had decided to use transmission magic to escape if it was dangerous, but

I had asked Kellen and Miler Rebecca to do it.

Please protect Tsumra more than anyone else.

Because when things went wrong, it was the only way to get out together.

-Tiring. Tiring.

As soon as I post a post, an alarm rings.

[Mean Meow Punch]: Gongdu survived!

[Hair loss on your head]: Haha! I knew it would happen!

[Lick the top of the head]: When I go, I

guess I want to check the location of the portal.

Tsumra is alive.

Still, he did not escape right away.

Capturing the king of worshipers. If that wasn’t possible, I had to at least figure out the location of the portal.

A portal said to have been created by Fellain.

at the same time.

‘A portal that the King of Worship pushes through to create fragments of chaos.’

I don’t know the exact mechanism, but the king of worship sends people there who will become fragments of chaos.

It is certain that the exploration team confirmed it through observation.

Although it was just a prediction, it seems like the problem arose when the portal was forced to open.

The King of Worshipers takes advantage of that.

As a result, it is a portal that should not be used.

“There’s no harm in investigating.”

If you can figure out the problematic part, you might be able to make it into a normal portal.

That’s plan B.

I wish I were there.

I had power.

[The eyes that are watching the SSS-level power star become brighter.]

Perhaps because I experienced the spirit world, I began to see things that were different from before.

A scene similar to what I saw in the spirit world appears to overlap with reality.

It wasn’t clear, but it was possible to get a glimpse.

“Huh?”

I could see a green aura flickering from Deokchun.

It means a state of mental peace.

Is that all? The form of the soul and other miscellaneous information also became more detailed.

That’s it.

He patted Deokchun.

“Deokchun, was the investigation outside the mountains successful?”

“Geueheh.”

I need to check this before going up.

What was beyond the mountains? What kind of traces did you see then?

I can roughly guess.

There is something I saw before I died.

The title, which is still active today, proved that what I saw back then was not in vain.

[The title King of the Forgotten World flutters.]

King of the Forgotten World.

A title received after clearing the Purgatory scenario.

There are forgotten people beyond the mountains.

That’s my prediction.

[Unforgettable Lancer (SSS) Lv.MAX]

“Kyaaaa!”

Mangu, who had been investigating along with Deokchun, was summoned for verification.

Ususoo.

When I turn over the subspace items I gave her before we parted ways, all kinds of things fall out.

Numerous drawings and miscellaneous items drawn in notebooks.

“oh? Who drew it? “You draw well.”

“Hehehe.”

I was surprised that the picture was more elaborate than I expected.

After all, it’s a super frog. I thought he only knew how to slap people, but he’s good with his hands.

‘shadow. Or beings that resemble wavering shapes.’

Dots next to the picture. Next to it, an effect is drawn in the form of something disappearing.

“Gwak Gwak! “Yes.”

“Quaagh! “Kyaa!”

Guys next to me who explain something with hand gestures and foot gestures.

If I had to guess roughly.

“You mean it appears and then disappears over time?”

“Okay. “Okay.”

I nodded.

Since some of the concepts that make up the body have been taken away, it must be difficult to maintain its form.

“Those who have been injected with the concept have collapsed because their bodies have collapsed. “Are you saying they are the opposite?”

Now that I think about it, I think I saw it when I stayed for a while beyond the mountain range.

Something that looked like a huge dragon appeared and disappeared.

I thought it was a unique object, but it seems to be a common characteristic shared by forgotten people.

-Chollarak.

I quickly flipped through my notebook.

There are more than dozens of pictures. There are at least this many people beyond the mountain range.

And this.

Miscellaneous things.

All of them are strange.

They were like dolls made of clay, but each one had a different appearance.

There were many different types, including cup-shaped ones and people holding flags, carriages, or something else.

The only thing they have in common is chaos.

Before I didn’t know what this meant, but now I know.

‘A symbol that represents oneself. The form of the soul.’

I could feel the remaining intention in the clay doll.

The will to not want to disappear.

The desperation of struggling not to forget one’s own existence.

This is on them.

“It’s a portrait.”

It was an act to record a time when the person was perfect.

I made up my mind.

The direction was also set.

Does it really take just one king to catch him?

If nyangpun isn’t enough.

“I do it.”

Now that the number of NPCs has decreased, there is a need to somehow increase power.

Did they say that the enemy of my enemy is my friend?

I lead the guys who lost their concept and try again.

-Sigh.

He solemnly took out a crown from his inventory and placed it on his head.

I have two crowns.

One was the Magnarok crown given to Nyangpun.

The only one left.

[The dancing master’s crown (B) shows off its light!]

This.

A familiar yet cute texture.

It looks a bit weird, but what is it?

I’m not sure if the title alone is enough to qualify me as a king, so I’ll have to wear a crown as well.

The moment I nodded in inner satisfaction.

-Kkiik.

“Evileye is here! I have something to give you… eh. “He’s doing something strange again.”

The door opened and Lilka, who had stuck her head out, quietly walked out into the street.

Was it an illusion that the eyes were filled with sorrow?

hmm. What can I say?

“Are you in a bad mood for no reason?”

“Why wham! What!”

-Wow!

Feeling somewhat offended, I kicked down the door and went out into the night.

This should be okay before going up.

* * *

99th floor.

After Evileye’s death and several skirmishes with the King of Worship, they were moving quickly.

A strange fortress filled with all kinds of strange beings and concepts.

To find a portal somewhere there.

“Huh. Go first. “Because we move together, the speed decreases.”

“No, it’s not in good condition!”

“that’s right. Your eyes are accurate. “There is no recovery from this.”

Toouk.

Smile Cap pushed Sexy Guy, who was supporting him.

The first huge explosion set off by Nyangfun.

He used that as an opportunity to kill the king of the worshipers.

The body was broken, scattering black concepts.

New skin sprouted again between the broken corpses.

[The concept phoenix begins a new life.]

The phoenix is a concept that comes back to life under the condition of death.

It was a deceptive ability that would repeat the same effect as an adult.

Its only weakness was that it would not be resurrected if killed before its body fully grew, but that was not the only safety device he had prepared.

The concept hidden beneath the collapsed building was unleashed.

[The concept average controls the age of the body.]

The concept absorbed the ages of those within its range and transferred it to the king of worshipers in a baby state.

Smilecap’s response was quick.

He swung his ax and blew those around him out of the area.

Therefore, I was affected by it alone and my body became younger.

A person who was invited to the tower at the beginning of the cataclysm.

He had lived in a tower where time passed faster than outside for nearly 20 years, so he avoided becoming a child.

[An error has occurred!]

[The climber’s age has been arbitrarily adjusted.]

[You are not included in the invitation list.]

[A penalty will be given.]

[The expulsion system will be activated for those in error.]

You are too young.

The ages of those invited to the top range from 17 to 35.

Smilecap’s physical age is 16 years old.

Because I was subject to an error and received a system penalty.

‘Not long left.’

I could feel it.

You won’t be able to hold on for long and will be thrown out of the tower.

As he was mortally wounded trying to catch the resurrected king of worshipers, he could no longer be of any help.

So there is no need to be supported.

Because it was better for Sexy Guy to get out at that time.

“Go quickly.”

“older brother.”

“You’re the older brother now? Hehe! “Kek!”

Smilecap threw up his hand and giggled, spitting out blood.

I felt my body disappearing little by little.

“damn! “I’ll definitely see you outside!”

After repeated urgings, Sexy Guy left and Smilecap, holding his knees with trembling hands, moved forward with difficulty.

“Grrr.”

[Concept rumor glances at you.]

An entity rejected by the system.

Is it because we are in the process of getting out of the tower?

The strange objects and concepts that were bothering me did not come to me.

It was good news for him.

“Whew. It’s good to be rejuvenated.”

Now that there were no obstacles, finding the portal would not have been impossible.
