Stuck in The Tower
Chapter 768

Episode 768: Give it back

The area is already a mess.

They dealt enough blows to each other, but this was only a prelude.

‘He’s not showing his full strength yet.’

The first strike is a pure physical attack.

It was the same after that, and this thorn was the only one that attacked using the concept.

Even that was done honestly without much modification.

It means that we fought while being moderate.

The rescue mission was not activated immediately.

This means that there has been no truly fatal blow yet.

‘I guess they want to see how much I can handle concepts.’

To see if it’s at the level where it becomes a piece of damned chaos.

I strained my legs in a not-so-pleasant mood.

The trampled one only looked like that, but did not suffer fatal injuries.

I feel it intuitively as well.

“I guess at your level, blood will turn into chaos and concepts, right?”

“If you gain something, you also lose something.”

The blood flowing from his wound stopped for a moment.

Instead, an unknown form of language flows out and spreads like spilled ink.

It was the cry and name of the concepts he had collected, and the screams and curses he uttered after being absorbed by the unworthy.

Concept and confusion literally run through his veins.

‘This is a real monster.’

I wondered where I had put the collected concepts, but I realized that I had used my body as a warehouse.

That’s why my presence has become so enlarged.

It’s not that I don’t understand.

The concepts I use are engraved on the soul.

So what about the extra concept?

It gets stuck in your body.

Even those who collapsed immediately had their body parts replaced with gifts.

He just goes through a similar process.

“But it’s a shame.”

– Guguguguguguk.

The guy muttering softly gets up.

The thorns sprouting from its back supported its body, and the thorns extending in all directions rotated at breakneck speed, threatening the surroundings.

It was a signal to move to the side.

-Taat.

I also took a step back.

There is no need to force it.

If you can handle it, it would be better.

‘Reinforcements are coming soon.’

The primary goal is to capture him.

I’m not even sure if I can catch it, but trying too hard won’t help.

Rather, only Smile Cap, who has been holding out so far, and the advanced monster I brought with him will be in trouble.

‘There are some who are still alive.’

There are exploration team members who fell but survived because their wounds were shallow or because they were lucky.

What will happen if he makes his move in earnest?

well.

I can’t take responsibility for everything.

So, do the best you can.

He has introduced conceptual uncertainty.

Now is your chance.

-Seung.

I picked up my sword.

The distance was such that if you just stretched out your arm, you could stab his face, but he didn’t show any signs of agitation.

All I could do was look into my eyes beyond the sword and sigh softly.

“How can it be that even though we have exceeded the limit, we are only halfway through it!”

“I am not a fragment of chaos.”

There’s no wonder it’s called a half-chaotic fragment.

The guy shook his head.

“I’m not saying that. I didn’t get to the 100th floor, so that’s a given. one.”

hug.

Black water droplets emerged from the guy’s fingertips.

Although it was a tiny drop of water, it is impossible to even guess how much power is contained within it.

“Not being able to use all the concepts you have is a different story.”

-Uuuuuuung.

At first glance, it seems disheartening.

Water droplets fly slowly.

The direction is also ambiguous.

An attack that says it’s okay for me to get hit, or it’s okay for me to fall somewhere else.

“Everyone bow down!”

The instinctive survival signal rang strong.

[Earth Wall (S) Lv.MAX]

[Frozen Break (SS) Lv.8]

[Skill level up!]

[Frozen Break (SS) Lv.9]

– Kugugugugugugung!

I built a wall of dirt and ice behind me.

Then he gritted his teeth and twisted his sword.

-Tuung.

A mass that was hard to believe was a water drop the size of a fingernail was felt through the chaos sword.

A drop of water splits in half with some resistance.

and.

– Coo coo coo coo coo.

-Kwaaaaaaaa!

A huge explosion engulfed the surroundings.

It’s boring.

explosion?

It was like an explosion, but different.

The feeling of a torrent of water pouring in as if a dam had burst!

I gritted my teeth against the expanding power that dyed the world black.

[Iron Will (SS) Lv.MAX]

[Steel Body (SS) Lv.MAX]

[Physical Attack Resistance (SSS) Lv.10+]

[Love and Peace (SSS) Lv.10]

[Mental Protection (SSS) ) Lv.MAX]

[Dark Resistance (SSS) Lv.10+]

A passive skill that is activated in succession.

An extremely ominous energy penetrates my armor and seeps into me.

A shock that shook my mind as well as my soul followed.

“Big!”

Cold sweat poured down like rain due to the unpleasant foreign body sensation.

It feels like an organ that shouldn’t be in your stomach appears and disappears.

A strange yet terrible pain, caused by excessive expansion, proliferation and disappearance in succession, swept through my entire body.

The wall I had built behind my back was shattered a long time ago.

“Khaaaaaaak!”

“Ugh! “Awesome!”

“Please save me!”

Those caught up in the aftermath rolled around on the floor, each holding on to their bodies.

Everyone within range, whether they were allies or not, was hit.

Still, he seemed unimpressed.

“Seeing as there is no room for more, it is true that all the dishes are full. Hmm.”

“This bastard.”

I gritted my teeth and glared at him.

The blow just now.

It was no different from compressing its territory and sending it away.

An attack using the blood of a person stained with all kinds of confusion and concepts as a medium.

Those who fell on the battlefield?

“How many alternative concepts are there?”

“well. “I don’t know because I haven’t looked at it.”

Dozens and hundreds of concepts that spread explosively collapsed due to the aftereffects that penetrated the body.

It is a similar attack to the one that occurred when the cultists invaded the capital a while ago.

I have already absorbed 3 concepts without any gaps, but what about other people?

“Geugeuggeukgeuk. Haha!”

“Get the hell away! “It’s a monster!”

“Just cut it! “There is no way to come back!”

If there was any concept that fit the bill, it would have been forcibly absorbed, and anyone who failed to digest it would have become a monster.

How many people here have more than two concepts?

A battlefield that became chaos in an instant.

Half monster, half crawling on the floor, groaning in pain.

Smile Cap, who was fighting at the front, wasn’t free either.

“It hurts so bad.”

Bang!

He was barely able to stand against the window, but his body was swelling and shrinking in real time.

I know what that phenomenon is.

The process of absorbing concepts.

What the outcome would be could only be known after time passed.

“damn!”

Now I had to catch him to prevent him from doing any more tricks.

Move forward and cut horizontally.

The guy pulls back lightly.

“It appears to be perfectly balanced, as it hasn’t been affected much.”

“shut up.”

The floor was kicked and dirt was sprinkled.

A low-level but always effective method.

Of course, it didn’t work on him.

It’s okay though.

The current guy has no uncertainty and cannot teleport.

[Earth Wall (S) Lv.MAX]

[Earth Wall (S) Lv.MAX]

-Cow!

The walls rising on both sides hit him like a sandwich.

Quang!

Almost immediately, the wall collapsed and the guy appeared.

In that brief moment, the sword was stretched forward.

[Love and Peace (SSS) Lv.10+]

[Sword Gang]

[Enchant (S) Lv.MAX]

[Aurora Beam (SSS) Lv.MAX]

Suppress its power with divine power, the power most opposite to chaos. Focused on penetration.

Cough!

There’s a hole in his collarbone.

The blood and concepts that flowed with him.

‘You have to get the concept out as much as possible.’

No matter how much of a bastard he is, he doesn’t have infinite concepts.

Of course, I know that this is impossible.

As if I had absorbed the blood back.

[Concept collection picks up the concepts that were thrown away.]

-Sssssss.

Because the concept that escaped from the outside went back into him and filled the wound.

That’s all.

Didn’t he say that too?

‘I have good balance.’

The three concepts are perfectly balanced to ensure stability.

I, too, had a gut-wrenching experience from his attack.

Those who failed to do so all fell.

Here’s the problem.

What about him?

-I flinch.

It wasn’t very noticeable, but I noticed that the guy flinched.

It wouldn’t be easy for even a guy to reabsorb those concepts.

The bigger the wound, the more blood it bleeds, the more painful it is.

The only difference is that in his case, it’s not blood, but concepts.

‘He also has a hit.’

If there weren’t any restrictions, I would have just burst out in anger a long time ago.

Either way, the guy who didn’t show anything was gesturing towards me.

“Even though I’ve absorbed the concept to near perfection, why can’t I use my full power?”

“What are you so dissatisfied with? “Can you explode more?”

“It seems like Haiden’s greed has become poison.”

I narrowed my eyebrows.

I understand why he does that.

The concept I have is rebelliousness and an explosion of shame.

Among these, I have used ‘Bangol’ and ‘Explosion’, but I have not used ‘Shame’.

It’s not something you can write if you want to.

It was a concept I did not acquire on my own, but rather as a successor to Haiden.

It’s not a direct concept like an explosion.

“In the meantime, it’s an evaluation.”

“No, this is an important issue. Seed of this generation.”

He spread his arms.

“If you do not awaken, your feat will not be successful.”

-Uuuuuuung.

Water droplets formed on his fingertips again.

A total of 10 water droplets.

“I myself will help you realize your power. “For a great position, you must have the dignity to match.”

That has to be stopped.

Even though it exploded only once, the entire battlefield was paralyzed.

Above all, there is no way that Smilecap, which is barely holding on, can withstand such an attack.

“Numerous stimuli and crises. “You will be able to do it.”

-Quaaang!

Regardless of what the guy said or not, I threw myself into it.

The wings behind his back spread wide and his speed increased.

-Kwagwagwagwang!

Adding acceleration by causing an explosion is a bonus.

Just before the drop of water leaves.

[Cling (S) Lv.MAX]

I grabbed the guy and soared into the sky.

can do.

[Demonization (SSS) Lv.2]

[Absolute Domain (SSS) Lv.2]

At least if something happens within my domain, it will be able to reduce the impact to a minimum.

Did I know it would be like this?

The corners of his mouth rise.

“Your choices determine your life. “I respect you.”

“Shut up.”

How high did it rise?

Is the distance enough?

That’s unknown.

but.

-hug.

A black water droplet that condensed all of its power left the guy’s hand.

[Concept rebels hate unpleasant aggregates!]

[Frozen Break (SS) Lv.9]

[Clinging (S) Lv.MAX]

I froze the surroundings as I hugged him.

The water droplets stick together so they don’t fall out.

As a result.

-Kwaaaaaaaa!

A total of 10.

A deluge of concepts arose.

Me too.

“Because I didn’t come up here to please you.”

[Giving Back (SSS) Lv.10]

[Concept Explosion supports all of this!]

I plan to give everything back.
