Stuck in The Tower

Episode 798: It’s getting smaller.

Why are these guys here?

Dumagos and I looked at them at the same time.

Although this is a desert, surprisingly, there is thick fog.

‘It’s not normal fog. How did you get in?’

Of course, it was not a natural phenomenon.

It was Dumagos’s ability.

The only concept left to him was the end, so that was it.

‘It seems like a racial trait.’

Dragon, the strongest race.

He is a forgotten person now, but if you think about it, he rose to the 100th floor and became a fragment of chaos.

This means that it is not a fog that can be penetrated through normal methods.

“I don’t know how the cowards managed to break through the fog.”

“Have we met before?”

“They are the wicked king’s minions. “They are like flies, but if they come together, they become a hindrance.”

Thanks to you, I understand.

Even when the King of Cults hunted Chaos Shards and collected Concepts, he took his Cultists with him.

Those guys showed up again.

“I guess the King of Worshipers has lost a lot of his concepts? “Is it because you got beaten up by me?”

“Hey! “Ruthless bastard!”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

Bedrock Vaaluze has started collecting concepts again.

While fighting in the spirit world, I eliminated many of the concepts it had.

Although he acted as if his concepts were infinite.

‘There is no way. That can’t be possible.’

There are clearly limits.

It’s not just me.

This was possible thanks to the efforts of other climbers and NPCs.

He imprints useful concepts into his body.

It could be said to be a concept storage warehouse.

That body collapsed twice.

When I regained my third body, I ran away.

What does that mean?

“Even the king of worshipers has no time to spare.”

There may be no way to be resurrected, or there may be no body left behind.

Either way, it was correct to say that 2/3 of the concepts they had were lost.

The dish is broken, but how can the items inside be intact?

“You bastards over there. “Is your king coming this way too?”

I asked the worshipers who were armed and forming a formation, but there was no answer.

They didn’t move too hastily, probably because they didn’t know they would run into me here.

They must be contacting their king by now.

In the end, these guys just follow orders.

It’s okay though.

‘I bought time.’

If the worshipers came from across the mountain range, the children inside the fortress are relatively safe.

The problem now is that I am in danger.

“Dumagos.”

“Why are you calling me, Mimul?”

“I don’t think now is the time to fight among ourselves.”

“Even if a few flying insects get in, they can’t do anything to this body.”

“A dragon hand that has lost its concept.”

“….”

The idiot is bluffing when he says he can’t even answer.

I admit that he is much stronger than the other Forgotten Ones, but this guy is also a Forgotten One in the end.

I’m still on guard against them.

More precisely, it seemed like he was thinking of the king of worshipers who would appear later.

“The King of Worshipers will not appear. “I’ll probably go somewhere else.”

“Why do you think that?”

“Because I came back.”

“You…”

He doesn’t appear.

I’m sure.

Even when he was restricted by the system, he fought with us, but when he lost his senses, he ran away.

You know it too. It won’t be easy to fight again in this situation.

In particular, you will be extremely reluctant to fight me here.

This is the land of the forgotten.

And I am.

‘Because he is the king of the forgotten world.’

It was best to avoid unfavorable battles, and he was no fool.

“Let’s just wipe out those guys.”

After saying those words, I threw myself away.

I still didn’t like it.

They were fooling around because they believed in the number of damn worshippers.

“Are you a little short today?”

Now there are at most 40 people.

There are no strange entities.

The one who collapsed? Of course not.

I will never bring it.

Because the concept may be lost to those who brought it with them but then forgot about it.

so.

[Fire Bomb (SSS) Lv.MAX]

[The concept explosion increases your size!]

-Quaaaaaang!

You can’t stop me.

“damage!”

“Do not approach! “Focus on long-distance shooting!”

Five people caught up in the explosion disappear into ashes.

The others quickly ran away.

well.

-Kugugugugugung!

Are you safe because you avoided me?

A huge shadow appeared, and Dumagos crushed them with his body.

Overwhelming weight.

It would be nice if it just weighed more.

-Puhuaaaaaaa!

The one who crushed them was Dumagos.

All kinds of magic circles wrapped around the body are activated and devastate the entire area.

“You have to step on bugs to make them explode.”

Seven people burst out at once.

I didn’t really use my strength, but that’s it.

‘I understand why you asked me to find him.’

Even if nothing else is known, its destructive power is overwhelming.

I can’t lose either.

-Paang!

I rushed towards the scattered guys.

“Shoot! “Shoot!”

“Damn it! “I will hold on to you, so hold on!”

There are 4 people clinging to me to catch me.

There are three people behind them preparing a long-distance attack.

Considering that they were holding conceptual weapons, they seemed to be an elite unit.

[Concept Bangol laughs.]

“Is that going to be enough?”

Is it because he fought the king of worshipers?

It wasn’t threatening at all.

Conceptual. It’s good.

Good.

“That’s worse than using the concept directly.”

[The SSS-level power of the unyielding sword spirit flashes.]

-Evil!

-Clap!

A sword strike drawn diagonally.

The sword swung in the shape of an X emits light once.

They twisted their bodies to avoid it, but they already expected it.

[SSS-level power: Eyes watching the stars are flashing!]

Power strengthened after experiencing the spirit world.

I can feel their emotions. Where does attention go?

-Aaaah!

The three people who were approaching fell down with blood spraying out.

His eyes widened in surprise and looked at me for a moment before losing their shine.

-Quaak!

The only one who survived threw himself and hugged me.

“Just shoot! Let’s blow it up together!”

Are you saying you want to sacrifice yourself to catch me?

What great loyalty.

I placed my hand on the guy’s head out of respect.

[Fire Bomb (SSS) Lv.MAX]

-Quwaaaang!

An explosion occurred around me.

Unable to overcome the flames, he pushed the fallen man to the side.

“I like camaraderie, but I think my brain is a bit stupid.”

Didn’t you know that he had committed suicide once or twice in the meantime?

You must have done a lot of research on me.

The one stuck to it burns and acrid smoke rises.

I raised my finger towards the people on the other side who were looking at me and writing evil.

[Aurora Beam (SSS) Lv.MAX]

This is enough.

Because Aurora Beam was no longer an attack focused only on penetration.

“Sangae!”

“Spread out!”

Those who reacted to the Aurora beam scattered to both sides.

Does not matter.

[I want the concept explosion to shine!]

-Paaaaang!

Because the five brilliant colors exploded into flames.

Firecracker.

It’s overly powerful and shiny, but that’s about it.

The sparks, which once ignited and could even melt bones, tore through them like a shotgun.

Needless to say, the result was annihilation.

“You’re doing quite well, Mimul.”

“You too, try moving diligently. “There’s still as much left as I have.”

While we fought, the remaining worshipers set up camp.

The shape is nice, but the weapon it is holding is unusual.

“If you get caught by that, it becomes annoying. “It’s a weapon developed to capture fragments of chaos.”

Dumagos muttered softly.

A harpoon used only on whaling ships to catch whales.

There are more than 5 of them.

exercised his power.

[Void Harpoon (SSS)]

– This is a harpoon with void properties!

-Some of the target’s power flows into the void.

-Useful when dealing with Chaos Fragments.

This is my first time seeing the void attribute again.

Anyway, the cultists are good at making strange things.

Conceptual weapons and that too.

“I could use that ability to run an equipment business or harass people.”

Talent is being used in strange places.

What happened?

Tuk. I knocked on Dumagos.

“If you’re scared, get out of the way. “I’m going to do it.”

It’s empty, it’s bare, it’s dirty.

Equipment to catch fragments of chaos?

What should I do with this? I am not a fragment of chaos.

-Push!

A harpoon flying at you with fear.

I just stretched out my hand and grabbed it.

It is not for attack.

The power itself is not that great.

but.

-Tsuuuuuu!

It sucks the body’s strength.

Does the effect activate even if it is not plugged in?

But this.

“It doesn’t seem to mean much to me.”

To be exact, it doesn’t mean much thanks to Deokchun next to me.

Did you say it was a void trait?

“Yes.”

-Kwasik.

Deokchun, who broke the harpoon with his characteristic strength, licks his tongue.

I don’t know how great the void is.

“The nature of our frogs is chaos.”

“Hehehe.”

[Tip. The rare attribute Void is a subclass of the Chaos attribute.]

At least when it comes to attributes, it was clear that Deokchun had the upper hand.

As soon as Deokchun grabbed the harpoon, his abilities disappeared.

“Suppress Dumagos!”

“Any remaining manpower, catch that guy!”

They were confused for a moment.

Divide into squads right away.

There is one group that catches Dumagos.

The rest are coming for me.

“I guess I’ll have to get rid of everyone except one.”

-Paaah!

I also met them.

The guy who swung his sword, caused an explosion, and inadvertently intervened.

“Yes!”

“Khaak!”

Deokchun was sorted out in the line.

I think I’ve somehow become stronger because I traveled across the mountain range with Mangu.

It’s not difficult to deal with.

However, there is something a little puzzling.

‘You came to catch Dumagos with such a poor arrangement?’

I understand after fighting it myself.

Although there are elite soldiers mixed in, the overall level is low.

Most of the people who attacked me were already dead, and the people who tried to subdue Dumagos were already dead.

“catch! “Don’t get dragged away!”

“Ugh! “It definitely has to work!”

“You’re not shooting properly!”

Contrary to the momentum, they were struggling.

“Did you know that this body would suffer the same fate!”

Because it was so big, it was hit by a few of the harpoons they fired, but it wasn’t enough to subdue it.

The power that the body possesses is also power.

“You use magic. “It’s not a dragon for nothing.”

The guy used magic together.

Among the fragments of chaos you’ve met so far, was there anyone who used magic like that?

I don’t think I saw it.

It’s not impossible.

If you learn magic yourself rather than using it as a skill, you can use it.

You can’t use Chaos Fragments as a skill, it’s not like you can’t use other skills.

And the magic.

‘It’s definitely academic.’

When I was on an exploration team, I learned simple magic common sense from Tsumra.

As a result, I didn’t understand a single thing, but I do know that magic can be done through systematic learning and training.

The same goes for Dumagos.

Although he is now a forgotten person, he cannot use magic like in the past.

“Why can’t we worship the great being who brought about the apocalypse?”

-Tzuzuzuzu.

-Kugugugugugung!

If it is related to a concept, the story is a little different.

A hugely expanded magic circle soars high into the sky.

The intense heat felt along with it.

Something huge passing through the blazing magic circle.

“It’s Meteo! Damn it!”

“I never thought he still had that much power!”

It was a meteorite.

Worshipers run away in shock.

I also cleared away the guys who had attacked me and looked up at the sky in a daze.

“Hey. “It’s been a while since I saw a meteorite.”

Isn’t this the first time since Moonlight’s Okto Teacher?

The sight of the red-hot stone falling to the ground was unrealistically impressive.

of course.

– Coo coo coo coo coo.

-Quaaaaaaaaa!

Although it may not be true from the perspective of someone who is right about it.

The ground begins to crack with a roar.

Dust rising like a tsunami and shock waves tearing through the air.

Huge craters form one after another, and debris the size of houses flies in from all directions.

Overwhelming destructive power that destroys everything within range.

The aftermath extended all the way to where I am.

[Strong body (SS) Lv.MAX]

[Physical attack resistance (SSS) Lv.MAX]

[Fire resistance (SSS) Lv.MAX]

This level is enough to endure.

-Whoa.

After some time passes, the dust settles little by little.

As for the feeling, there are zero admirers left.

With one Meteor blow, the remaining guys were wiped out.

“okay! Kneel to the power of this body! “The guy who said he would be king over me would have been reduced to dust!”

“Let’s keep one person alive. “You should ask where the King of Worship is.”

“ah. “Are you alive?”

Just in case, this bastard deliberately dropped Meteor where I was.

He seems like a guy I don’t like.

That’s it.

“Why are you shriveled up?”

“bouncer! Looking down at this body! “Can’t you just bow your head!”

This guy used great magic once and became smaller.

“Him?”

“I’m not eating it, Deokchun. “Jiji.”

A little bigger than Deokchun?

After soothing Deokchun to regain his appetite, he stood in front of him.

Knock knock. I tapped my fingers.

The worshiper was sorted out for now. What’s left?

“You said earlier that you and I would sort out the rankings, right?”

“…I’ve never done that before!”

oh. Shameless.

He had a confident appearance, perhaps because of his iron face.

“No, no, I wanted to do it.”

A fist can pierce iron-faced blood.

He grinned and raised his fist.
