Only I Have Two Towers Episode 126

Levels Rising Rapidly

I entered the 58th Floor of the Tower of Despair.

A place densely overgrown with jungle where poison-attribute monsters were positioned.

“The bushes are moving!”

Terrified Momo hid behind Jinhyeok’s legs.

Of course, Jinhyeok also made a disgusted expression.

Since it was poison-related, there were many reptilian monsters like snakes, centipedes, and frogs.

I really hate this type.

“There’s no need to go in! I’ll blow them all away!”

Kancheo pulled out his minigun.

Not a bad choice.

Even if he couldn’t kill all the monsters, he could at least sweep away the entire jungle.

“Can I go first? I want to try using the sword.”

Yodel Ranger Kancheo, who was about to charge, straightened his posture.

“I will follow Captain Seira’s orders! Sir, yes sir!”

After a resounding salute, Kancheo stood on the same line as Jinhyeok.

Ellia and Dark also seemed to have no intention of fighting, judging by how they were chewing on jerky.

“I’ll be back.”

Seira, who had put some distance between them, drew out Raven, the Sword of Thunder.

Raven created electrical currents around its master.

‘That’s insanely cool.’

Lightning or thunder.

Along with fire, it’s one of the top two attributes that men prefer.

Seira quietly looked down at the sword, still seeming a bit unfamiliar with it.

Meanwhile, monsters began to reveal themselves from within the jungle.

As expected, most of them were reptiles.

Among them was an anaconda that must have been at least 10 meters long.

“Hssss.”

Seira lightly inhaled and stared straight ahead.

[Sword of Thunder Raven – Startup]

Crackle!!

Rough green electrical currents burst forth from the sword.

“Kieek!”

Monsters that had approached carelessly ended up charred black.

The sword hadn’t even been swung yet.

Yet with this much power, sweat began to seep from both my hands.

“Whoo.”

Seira exhaled and swung the sword in a large arc.

[Lightning Rain]

Green sword energy was scattered into the sky.

The monsters below drew question marks.

The sword energy had just grazed past them without even cutting them.

Did they think this was an opportunity?

The monsters that had been crawling sluggishly picked up speed.

And just as they were about to roar fiercely.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!!

Hundreds of lightning bolts began to fall.

Lightning rain scattered rapidly along the direction the sword energy had swept through.

The continuous thunderous roars mercilessly assaulted our ears.

“Waaaah!”

“I’m falling over!”

The power even shook the ground we stood on.

It truly felt like heaven and earth were convulsing.

Even while lifting up Kancheo and Momo, I couldn’t take my eyes off the front.

‘Where did they all go.’

The swarming monsters had completely disappeared without a trace.

The jungle that had been blocking our view was the same.

As if nothing had happened, it was cleanly devastated, providing a wide field of vision.

Ding!

[You have cleared the 58th Floor of the Tower of Despair!]

[Unique trait ‘Level Matching’ activated! Seira Kinketon, who has the highest level and grade, is selected as the standard.]

[Additional experience points are calculated based on the experience gained from the 58th Floor of the Tower of Despair.]

[You have gained a massive amount of additional experience points!]

[Level up! Current level: 76]

[Level up! Current level: 77]

[Level up! Current level: 78]

[Level up! Current level: 79]

[Level up! Current level: 80]

[All stats increase simultaneously!]

Jinhyeok covered his mouth.

Otherwise, a scream would have burst out.

His level had been relatively high compared to the floors he was climbing.

Thanks to that, clearing a single floor would typically only increase experience points and that was it.

But 5 level-ups meant that the additional experience from the Level Matching trait was far higher than the existing tower clear experience.

[Yodel Ranger Unit Deputy Commander Kancheo leveled up! Current level: 92]

[Explosive clay molding speed has increased!]

Kancheo gained three levels.

[Immortal Dalk Castro’s level has increased! Current level: 100]

[Body regeneration speed has improved!]

Dark gained one level.

[Greedy Collector Momo leveled up! Current level: 94]

[Nimble Hands level has increased! You can demonstrate abilities in various areas beyond item collection!]

Momo gained two levels.

[Star Alchemist Elia Posen’s level has increased! Current level: 107]

Ellia also gained one level.

Compared to how the experience bars had barely budged until the previous floor, this was an excellent result.

“Whoa! My level suddenly went up?”

“It feels like growth has accelerated.”

“Clay is being made super fast!”

“Momo’s hands got faster too! Look at this! Swoosh swoosh!”

I explained the Level Matching trait to my celebrating friends.

“Is this what they call a trickle-down effect?”

“Oh Ellia. You’re smart as always.”

“It’s nothing special? I’m the Star Alchemist after all.”

“Why are you acting all smug over knowing everything, you old hag!”

Ellia and Kancheo bickering as usual.

This time there was no need to stop them.

Ellia and Kancheo stopped fighting on their own and turned their gaze to one side.

Seira, who had swept through the tower in an instant and was quietly returning.

Everyone began looking at Seira with sparkling eyes.

“Why are you all like that?”

Was it burdensome?

Seira asked, slightly hesitant.

Regardless, Jinhyeok and his friends sent even more intense gazes.

Gazes of respect and awe.

Ding!

[You have cleared the 58th Floor of the Tower of Despair!]

[You have obtained poison monster appendages from the 58th floor!]

[Time taken to clear: 57 seconds. A new record has been set in the Pantheon!]

[You ended the battle with a single strike! SSS+ grade achieved! Achievement gauge increases!]

[Achievement gauge fully charged! Special box is spinning!]

The special box that was always exciting to see.

The box that had been spinning for a while stopped at a symbol he’d never seen before.

[You are given a class category selection right!]

# You can select the class category for the next card you collect!

# You cannot choose a specific class!

# Please select your desired category!

Four pictures appeared before his eyes.

A sword and shield, an arrow, and a sparkling hand shape.

“Hmm.”

He rubbed his chin while examining the pictures.

Though they called them categories, the pictures were too vague.

The last one was especially ambiguous.

The first ones seemed like they could roughly be close-range dealers and tanks, ranged dealers.

The hand shape was mysterious – if you thought of it as prayer, it seemed like a healer, but also maybe not.

He turned around to look at his friends lined up behind him.

There was a crazy close-range dealer, and though slightly different, a friend who could sufficiently fill the tank role, and a ranged dealer who used explosives and alchemy. There was also the chubby one who handled most things skillfully without needing attention.

If he had to choose a class they didn’t have, the last picture seemed right.

‘I hope it’s a holy class.’

Though Ellia was an excellent pharmacist, she wasn’t a professionally born healer.

Having one just in case would be very reassuring.

[You have selected the ‘One Close to Heaven’ class category!]

Jinhyeok frowned.

The name was as ambiguous as the picture looked.

“No!!”

A sudden cry of despair rang out.

Momo, who had gone far away at some point, collapsed with a thud.

“Momooooo!!!”

When he quickly ran over, Momo weakly held out her hand with a powerless expression.

She was holding a snake’s body that had turned completely black.

“It’s all grilled! Here too! There too!”

“Ah?”

Momo’s collection had a different mechanism from the system’s own appendage acquisition.

Momo directly processed monster corpses to collect high-grade appendages.

But all the corpses on the 58th floor had turned completely black due to the lightning’s influence.

“I’ll have to refrain from using lightning from now on.”

Seira crouched down and patted Momo comfortingly.

Jinhyeok joined the patting line and smiled.

“It’s okay, Momo. We can still eat delicious food even if you collect a little less.”

“Really?!”

“Yeah. Did you forget? Our annual salary is 50 billion.”

“That’s right!”

Momo quickly brightened up when she realized there would be no hindrance to her gourmet pursuits.

“I’ll at least collect what’s still decent! I need to sell them at Older Sister’s place!”

“Okay.”

Momo rushed off and began collecting at super speed.

Corpses that quickly turned into bare bones as soon as her hands touched them.

It was an ability that was both excellent and brutal.

After Momo’s collection spree ended.

[Exiting the 58th Floor of the Tower of Despair!]

With the message, the humid jungle became blurry.

A refreshing breeze began to blow again.

Before their eyes, the beautiful green zone of Wales spread out.

Thud thud thud thud thud thud.

He looked up at the sound of an approaching helicopter.

There was still over an hour left until the appointed time.

It seemed they had come early to wait.

“Ughhhh.”

Jinhyeok stretched lazily and looked at the approaching helicopter.

Let’s go back.

To Kon Satellite.

A high-rise building located in Tokyo, Japan.

Innovation Party member Sato Tsubasa sat in the living room, staring at the TV.

“What chaos, what chaos.”

Most channels had canceled their regular programming.

And they began pouring out broadcasts about Runner.

The content varied from “Who is Runner?” to broadcasts praising the Pantheon records he had achieved.

But among them, the most talked-about topic was the steel-related conference that concluded today.

The United Kingdom, the country that imports the most steel from Europe.

Thanks to that, they played the role of decision-maker in today’s conference, but the United Kingdom became a hot topic by producing results that completely overturned expectations.

# The British Government drew a line today, stating that the conference results and Runner’s activities are completely unrelated.

“Nonsense.”

Tsubasa shook his head.

If such a message hadn’t appeared during the conference, there would have been no reason at all to adjust Korea’s upper limit.

Unlike China or Japan, Korea had nothing left to offer to the United Kingdom.

“Serves them right.”

Tsubasa chuckled and tilted his drink.

Trade Minister Masaru, a member of the ruling party.

If not for Runner, it would have been praised as an excellent negotiation, but now he was being heavily criticized for the sole reason of doing worse than Korea.

“An existence that overturns seemingly impossible situations… Nice.”

He savored Runner’s name and tilted his drink again.

More precisely, he stopped his hand while trying to tilt it.

A strange sense of déjà vu.

Come to think of it, he had similar thoughts recently.

The Yamaguchi-gumi, one of the yakuza representing Japan, was completely wiped out and Hosaka’s leader died.

As a result, the pillar they had maintained collapsed and the ruling party began to shake.

Back then, he had felt something similar to now.

“…Am I overthinking?”

Tsubasa, who had been thinking deeply, picked up his phone.

“Tell everyone to gather. We’re going to Incheon Airport.”

It didn’t matter if it was excessive speculation.

He needed to follow his intuition and verify it.

Whether the lingering scent Tsubasa had collected matched Runner’s scent.

“Hmm.”

Tsubasa let out a low murmur and smiled.

Then she rose from the sofa and quietly voiced a couple of small wishes.

Hoping they could meet the owner of the lingering scent at Incheon Airport.

And hoping that owner would be Runner.
