Stuck in The Tower

Chapter 793: Concept

When I use concepts and powers, the pressure that was weighing me down disappears.

Skills do not work in the spirit world.

Naturally, technology based on the flesh also loses meaning.

Like the souls I see, there is a high possibility that I too am in the shape of a symbol representing myself.

‘It looks the same to me.’

I guess it looks that way because I’m used to my soul, but it might be a little different when someone else sees it.

-Paang!

I kicked the floor.

There are no items.

Bare hands.

That’s because all the items I wear will be attached to my body in reality.

but.

[SSS level power, the unyielding swordsman is flashing!]

You can do it.

A blow struck with the hand.

There wasn’t even a sword.

-Clap!

An intangible shape cut the rope that was restraining me.

If it was a conceptual space anyway, I needed to throw away some of my common sense.

【You have good judgment. It’s a good quality.】

He’s still full of composure.

I guess so. This is a battlefield that is advantageous to you.

Sure enough, as soon as I cut the rope and escaped, all kinds of strange concepts and powers attacked me.

-Kugugung!

-Aaaah!

He reacted quickly and escaped.

There isn’t even a sign.

Because using the concept doesn’t require any preparatory actions.

It’s much more difficult than fighting in real life.

If that’s a good thing.

[SSS level power The eye that watches the star gains new possibilities.]

That I have power.

Even if you can’t see it, you can read it.

Punch away concepts that come at you and avoid what you can.

Perhaps because it fights as a soul, it perceives and moves in one motion.

It’s nice to be able to move quickly thanks to this.

‘This guy. In the spirit world, the concepts that can be handled increase.’

He is also free.

Rather, I am using my abilities more freely.

So far, there were five concepts he could use.

I changed a few concepts from time to time as needed, but that was it for now.

[The concept embraces you.]

[The concept depression presses you.]

There is no such thing.

He uses the concepts he has collected without hesitation.

The embrace, as warm as the summer night breeze, suddenly turns and digs into me.

Although I was full of determination to crush my entire body.

[Concept Explosion laughs.]

-Kwaaaaang!

The explosion that erupted from my soul pushed back the force that was digging into me.

When forces rushing towards each other collide, it is natural that the stronger one will win.

“Cough!”

Of course, if the person in question is me, the story is a little different.

In a war, even if one side is defeated, the land used as a battlefield becomes desolate.

‘It hurts so bad.’

It feels different than when I was injured.

A feeling that shakes not just my senses but my very existence.

no.

Correct.

It’s not just my mood, I’m really shaking.

[Tip. It is extremely difficult to recover from a direct hit to the soul!]

[Tip. Sometimes, they don’t recover at all!]

They are also kind.

They also tell you everything you know through tip messages.

still.

‘The system definitely works here too.’

So, the tip message sounds and you can use the power.

Other than that, the title, skill item inventory, and shop window seem to be completely blocked.

I narrowed my eyes at the new information.

First of all, focus.

This battle must be fought on your own without any shortcuts.

Do you agree with my realization?

【The soul is in its raw state. As a being, you have to compete.】

That guy also said something similar.

“That’s a very kind explanation!”

-Shuaaaak!

He moved forward, swinging his hand like a sword.

[The conceptual iron wall shows off its majestic appearance.]

A wall blocking me.

“go away!”

-Quaaaang!

It exploded, shattered it, and kicked up debris.

The collapsed iron wall collapsed and screamed.

-Ahhhh!

no. I felt like I was screwed.

It’s very faint, but it feels like it’s coming through the soul.

It was a sound I couldn’t hear at first.

‘I think I can hear it.’

-Clap!

Once again, I cut off the grip that was holding my foot.

Same thing this time too.

The screams become clearer than before.

It was still just a shallow, flowing sound, like the wind brushing against a collar, but once I recognized it, it was stuck in my mind.

I increased my speed due to a subtle sense of discomfort.

I didn’t know that this could also be a trick of the guy, and in order to fight him, I had to close the distance.

“Whoa.”

He let out a habitual breath and rushed like a thunderbolt.

The concept of flying in to keep me in check was still powerful.

[Concept Rebellion is with you!]

[Concept Explosion explodes everything blocking it!]

[SSS-level power, the unyielding swordsman will not be broken!]

I was not the one to suffer.

In fact, it was more powerful than I had imagined.

The concept of his behavior was ultimately collected.

Because it was taken from something other than one’s own life.

If concept is life.

My life wasn’t light enough to be weighed down by something like that.

-Quaaaaaang!

The sword touched him for the first time.

Because as I sat on the throne, I raised my hand and held onto my sword.

for a moment.

knife?

‘Chaos Sword?’

Since when did I hold a sword?

I’m sure there wasn’t a sword in the beginning.

【It seems like you’re slowly getting used to the spirit world.】

It’s not a sword.

It’s one of the forms of my soul.

A sword that has been used consistently as the successor to Alios.

The first item I got after climbing the tower was a sword with my name on it.

Evileye’s Chaos Sword, created after rescuing Framberg and using Delverton’s shell.

Among those who climbed the tower with me, I was the only one who achieved something like this.

-Tap.

There was a sound of something breaking apart.

Then, a tremendous rebound force pushed me away.

-Wooow!

A shock that felt like my stomach was turned upside down and twisted.

As I flew backwards and rolled over, I stared at him and saw something amazing.

A reality that appears blurry beyond the world of the soul.

The body of the guy there collapsed, albeit slightly.

As he said, I am gradually adapting to this world, and I am seeing things that I had never seen before.

Numerous threads connecting the body and the person’s soul.

Several of them were broken and broken.

A trace of the concept I destroyed.

‘The concept he has was not something he built up on his own.’

Even now, he is forcibly using the concepts stored in his body.

In the process, I was hit and the concept was broken to me.

‘It goes back to him intact!’

It’s the same with this guy who fights by gnawing at himself.

That’s good news.

The more you fight with him, the more you get rid of his concepts, the more damage he gets.

As long as he has a concept king, Nyangfun must step in.

In that case, I weaken him as much as possible.

-Suung!

-Paaaang!

As soon as I finish thinking, an attack comes.

To avoid the bitter cold that penetrated my side, I rolled my body and shot forward elastically.

The guy’s fingers twitch.

-Cow!

“Keuuuuu!”

Feeling the pressure again!

It’s the same as the one that first crushed me and threw me away a moment ago.

It’s not a concept. If that were the case, I would have been able to recognize it with authority.

He looks down at me.

[The karma accumulated by the soul has its own weight.]

An attack made by moving one’s soul itself.

My soul, enlarged as I had lived for eons, weighed down on me.

It proves that the time accumulated so far makes a difference.

“What should I do, old man?”

-Clap!

It cut off the pressure.

Keep pressing. In the end, if this is his soul, it will take a hit.

It was still not easy, but it didn’t seem like there was a chance of winning.

Weren’t there already people who fought him?

Those who spoke through their souls.

Why were they able to glimpse the spirit world?

What is it?

‘It’s probably because I fought the King of Worshipers on the 99th floor.’

Because all of those who had a soul conversation were people who had climbed to at least the 99th floor.

It means that the king of all of them was pushed to the point where he summoned the spirit world.

I don’t know how many people will go further than this.

Just one person.

There was definitely someone who overcame it.

‘Heiden defeated him.’

From what I’m saying, it seems like I had to give up my life three times to do that.

In the end, what matters is that you overcome it.

As he said, it is true that those who have lived for a long time have an advantage in the spirit world, but it proves that it is not absolute.

And I am.

[The concept’s backbone shakes even more violently.]

I learned how to handle concepts from Haiden.

-Rumble!

The soul beats like a heart.

There is no need to think hard.

Ultimately, the concept is one with the soul. It would not be impossible to overcome the limit now.

【…You don’t know what’s appropriate!】

He also seemed to sense that something was out of the ordinary, and for the first time, he let out a rage.

Then, along with his soul, countless concepts flooded in.

[The concept giant grows bigger!]

[The concept vortex swirls!]

[The concept gravedigger lifts the shovel!]

.

.

.

Each shape becomes entangled and comes together to form a lump.

For a moment, I feel like the entire spirit world is rushing towards me.

It was a feast of overwhelming and absolute power.

Amazingly.

‘I’m not afraid.’

I was confident that I could take it.

Everything that catches my eye attacks me with malice.

Nothing can be seen and the screams of the concept gradually become stronger.

A wave that touches your soul so much that it almost explodes with sound!

One side of the soul that resonates and swells as if it is about to explode is quiet.

[The concept explosion adds strength.]

[The concept rebellious stares at the person who is using something that is not his.]

[The eyes that are watching the SSS level power star give a mixed look.]

Eventually, the sound reaches its peak.

Paradoxically, an explosion occurred quietly.

As if walking down the street among the crowd, the explosions and rebellious thoughts that spread out among the crowds of concepts gradually grew in presence.

-Wood-dud-dud-duk.

-Cough! Kuddud!

-Quaaaaaaaaa!

Numerous concepts were shattered all at once.

It was loud and flashy, like a window bursting with a loud noise.

-Kyaaa!

-Ahhhh!

Ttuduk.

I heard the sound of the concepts connected to it being cut off.

A scream-like bursting sound rings out, and a cluster of colorful lights spreads out.

Particles of light floating in the air as if in slow motion.

Numerous shapes pass by as transparent particles like pieces of glass.

They were no longer something black or a strange, evil curse.

-Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

It was life.

It was someone’s confession and also a fight.

There was a child leisurely splashing in the sea and an old woman singing.

The winner of the competition was cheering, and there was a man crying while hugging his dead mother.

Their voices, which had only been heard as screams, were heard.

A very brief moment.

“ah.”

I was able to catch a glimpse of the concept.

It’s fleeting, but it seems like it will last forever.

The fragments that flew back in time, depicting the life of a being, showed off their own colors and soon faded away.

anywhere.

The guy was nowhere to be seen.

-Kkii.

His throne is shaking.

A corpse wearing a crown.

I no longer felt any sense of superiority from him.

At least that’s how it seemed to me.

Instead, it just looks more shabby and ugly.

Concept is evidence of life engraved in the soul.

Losing a concept ultimately meant losing life.

“You don’t have much left in your life?”

A monster that greedily devours the lives of others.

He had no life of his own.

A king from the past who is just struggling to fill the void.

“Aren’t you ashamed of your life?”

I asked him a question.

Do you agree with what I said?

[Concept Shame sticks out its head.]

The hidden concept responded.
