Only I Have Two Towers Episode 132

Traces

I wiped the sweat flowing down my forehead.

‘I should have come without showering.’

A swamp area filled with poisonous fog.

It’s disgustingly humid, so I’m drenched in sweat the moment I entered.

Saaaaa.

I turned my head toward the cool sensation.

A small ice chunk filled with a thousand years of cold energy.

After giving Dark a thumbs up, I received the ice chunk and rubbed it against my neck.

“Are you a Player?”

A small badger walked over.

The Tower resident who would guide us through the 59th and 60th floors.

Jinhyeok opened his mouth at the familiar appearance.

“Konu?”

“Don’t compare me to that bee bastard! He’s a complete con artist! He said it would be more comfortable here, but it’s disgustingly hot, stuffy, and humid.”

Quite a feisty fellow.

“Anyway! My name is Loro. I’m the guide for the 59th and 60th floors.”

“I’m Jinhyeok. This is Dark.”

“The path is still being created, so wait. The waiting time isn’t included in the record, so don’t worry. Actually, you can’t set records here anyway, so don’t get your hopes up.”

Loro waved his hands dismissively.

The 59th floor with its complex maze and various poisons laid out in different sections.

More than a few Players have died rushing to save time.

“I’m the boss here. Got it? On a ship, the captain’s word is law. It’s exactly the same! If you don’t listen to me and rush ahead, I won’t guide you.”

“We listen well, so don’t worry.”

It’s fortunate that Yodel Ranger Kancheo isn’t here.

If he were, Loro would have gotten drop-kicked for insubordination and flown far away.

“But what’s that? It feels kind of cool.”

“This? It’s a portable air… that Dark made for me? Huh? Loro?”

The moment I held out the ice chunk, Loro froze solid.

The cold energy was too strong for a badger to endure.

“Lorooo!”

I quickly put away the ice chunk and warmed up his body.

Only then did Loro barely regain consciousness.

“What was that? Everything went dark before my eyes.”

I let out a sigh of relief.

I almost sent the guide away right at the start.

[The path has been completed!]

[Various poisons will be laid throughout each section!]

[The guide must be with you when passing through the final path!]

“Loro, you’re fine with any poison, right?”

I saw it on Tower Site.

The guide is a badger immune to all poisons.

“Of course! No poison can kill me! But you be careful! Even breathing in a little could send you straight to your grave.”

“Oh. Good.”

I took out the Yodel Compass and looked at Dark.

Dark nodded and scooped up Loro.

“Huh? What are you doing? Are you going to carry me? There’s no need for this! Just because you’re being nice to me doesn’t mean the poisonous fog will lessen. And like this, I can’t find the path. It changes every time, so I have to search for it each time too.”

“I know.”

“If you know, put me down.”

This time, instead of answering, I showed a smile.

And then, I started running.

Loro’s eyebrows fluttered wildly in the wind.

It was faster than any speed he had ever experienced.

Loro’s eyes widened as the first poisonous fog rapidly approached.

“Whoooooa! You’re going to die like this!”

He pounded Dark’s body with his small fists.

Regardless, the two kept running straight ahead.

Seeing them completely ignore him, Loro shook his head.

‘Oh Tower God. Another one is ascending.’

Dark and Jinhyeok entered the poisonous fog.

Even so, their speed didn’t decrease.

Loro was puzzled.

They should have collapsed by now?

‘Do they have good cardiopulmonary function?!’

They even have good luck.

Even though they seem to be choosing randomly, looking back, it’s always a perfect shortcut.

These shortcuts are hard to find even for Loro, the guide, without careful observation – this is truly incredible fortune.

Their speed was so fast that the end of the first poisonous fog was already visible.

“Now you really have to go slowly! Hidden weapons fly out from the poisonous fog! You’ll become a pincushion… Eek!”

Dark threw Loro away.

Jinhyeok, who was following behind, caught Loro and held him in his arms.

“Hey! I’m not a bouncy ball!! I’m a noble guide! Put me down quickly!”

Ignoring him, Dark kicked off the ground.

A dark blue energy gathered at both ends of the Eternal Cold Iron.

He struck down with it.

Craaaack!

Massive ice mountains formed on both sides.

“Kuheooooook!”

Loro’s mouth fell open.

Instead of avoiding the hidden weapons, he blocked them from the start.

This was a first.

Such a brutish yet simple and clear breakthrough method.

Loro, who had been struggling to escape, became docile.

Because he realized.

If he crawled out now, he’d freeze to death immediately.

“Left! You have to go left! Listen to me this time! If you go right, there’s poison that melts your brain!”

Was he a tree frog in his past life?

Dark and Jinhyeok turned right without hesitation.

‘Hopeless!’

Loro squeezed his eyes shut.

There had been several Players with terrible stubbornness.

But these humans were the first to so cleanly ignore the guide.

Soon, brown fog engulfed Jinhyeok’s group.

Loro looked up at Jinhyeok.

Was he going to break through brutishly by holding his breath again? This section is much longer than before?

‘Huh?’

He squinted his eyes.

He thought he was seeing things wrong.

“Idiot! Hold your breath!”

Jinhyeok was breathing very evenly.

Didn’t he know that what was surrounding him was poisonous fog?

“It’s fine. It’s fine.”

“What do you mean it’s fine! Now brain fluid is going to flow out of my nose, eyes, and ears!”

He shouted angrily, but Jinhyeok just smiled and said it was okay.

And in reality.

‘What?!’

Jinhyeok was fine.

The amount of poisonous fog he had already inhaled should have been enormous.

‘What are these humans? What kind of bodies do they have?’

With his hand on Jinhyeok’s arm, he looked at the poisonous fog section they were quickly passing through.

Now he could see they hadn’t come to the right for no reason.

It was a shortcut incomparably shorter than the left section.

He couldn’t gauge what awakening class this human was at all.

Clang! Swoosh!

After that, Jinhyeok’s group passed through a couple more poisonous fogs without any trouble.

Every choice was still a shortcut.

Loro quietly looked straight ahead.

He had now completely entered spectator mode.

While they were running without any particular difficulties.

[A dormant remnant discovers traces!]

A message suddenly appeared.

For the first time since starting to run, Jinhyeok looked at guide Loro.

“Loro, what is this?”

He had no choice but to ask.

Even Tower Site, with its hundreds and thousands of big data accumulated, had no mention of such a thing.

Cold sweat ran down the side of Loro’s head.

This time he really wanted to show off his knowledge as a guide, but it was impossible.

“Wh-what is it? I’ve never seen anything like this appear before.”

Before he could grasp the situation.

Rummmble!!

A massive earthquake struck.

The ground shook violently.

Cracks formed in the carefully constructed path, and through them, a dark form revealed itself.

“It’s damn huge!!”

Loro screamed.

He couldn’t tell what that thing was.

All he could tell was that it was larger than any ordinary hill.

[Changes come to the 59th Floor of the Tower of Despair with the appearance of the remnant!]

[The floor number changes to somewhere between the 59th and 60th floors!]

“Is that a mountain?”

Dark muttered indifferently.

Beside him, Jinhyeok, who had been rubbing his chin, frowned.

“Yeah.”

“Why? What is it? What is that?! Why is it so big? What’s happening!”

He seemed to have forgotten that he was supposed to be the guide.

Tower resident Loro poured out questions in panic.

Jinhyeok, with furrowed brows, leaned toward the mountain.

“It feels similar somehow. To the aura I felt in the Mythic Tower.”

On the previous floor, a being suppressed by Manshin had appeared.

Though he hadn’t seen its actual appearance, he had clearly felt the ominous aura that had spread throughout that floor.

For some reason, the remnant before his eyes also contained that aura, albeit very faintly.

‘So that’s why they called it a remnant.’

But if just a remnant had such an overwhelming form.

How incredible must the main body be?

“I’m not sure.”

Dark shrugged his shoulders.

But he didn’t think Jinhyeok was wrong.

When it came to detecting and sensing things, that Yodel guy was a step above him.

And Jinhyeok had inherited that ability.

[The remnant begins to rampage!]

A massive tree trunk was swung.

Dark immediately stepped forward and blocked the tree trunk.

Dark clicked his tongue lightly.

“Master, this isn’t my specialty.”

It was an absurdly huge mass to just freeze completely.

Judging by the force of its thrashing, even that would likely be a waste.

Jinhyeok nodded and manifested his other friends.

He had planned to call them when it was time to clear for the experience points.

But with this variable, plans had changed.

Meanwhile, he drew Perracan and Salamanca and cut down the incoming branches.

No matter how much he cut, the branches grew back and swung again.

Whatever kind of tree this was, its regeneration speed was incredible.

“Attention! Yodel Rangers Vice-Captain Kan… Yaaawn!”

The manifested Kancheo yawned lazily.

He must have slept so well that his fur on one side was flattened.

“Commander. Did you call meeeee?!”

Kancheo turned around and screamed.

A giant ridge filled his vision, swinging branches at them.

It was a sight that would wake anyone up whether they wanted to or not.

“What is that?! The world is moving!”

“As expected, our Yodel world is truly small, isn’t it? Wow, it’s huge.”

Ellia put her hand to her forehead and whistled.

She didn’t forget to throw in a small criticism toward Kancheo.

“I’ll cut it.”

Seira stepped forward, drawing Raven.

“Kancheo. That’s the guy from the Mythic Tower, right?”

“Ah?! That’s right! It’s small, but that bastard’s aura is definitely there!”

Kancheo looked up at Jinhyeok with sparkling eyes.

‘As expected, Commander! Now you don’t miss even such small things!’

Kancheo was simply proud of the Commander’s growth.

“Why aren’t you escaping! Are you trying to catch that thing?!”

Loro, who had been quiet, shouted.

This wasn’t a matter of being brave or not.

Something ridiculous had popped out.

Right now, retreat was the answer.

“Huh? Why would we escape? We have to catch it.”

“We can come back tomorrow! How are we supposed to catch that!”

“It’ll probably appear tomorrow too.”

Jinhyeok stared at the remnant.

The system had called it traces.

Something must have rubbed off from the 10th Floor of the Mythic Tower.

No one knows when these traces will be erased.

I can’t keep wasting tickets until it stops appearing.

“Catch what?! Don’t you see the size of that thing? Even if we hit it, it won’t make a dent… Gueek!!”

A drop kick flew into his side.

Guide Loro tumbled away from Jinhyeok’s arms, rolling around.

Kancheo landed cleanly and crossed his arms, glaring at Loro.

“Where does a rat-sized thing get off chattering away! If the Commander says we catch it, then we catch it!”

Truly the age of guide suffering.

Just as he was about to burst out yelling from overwhelming frustration.

Kwagagagagagagak!!!

Lightning rain began pouring down from the sky.
