Only I Have Two Towers Episode 134
Encounter with the Manshin
He ran toward where the sound came from.
Had she perhaps gotten caught on some branch and fallen?
When he arrived, what he saw was Momo in a prostrating position with her upper body completely disappeared.
“Momooo!”
Jinhyeok, startled, quickly reached out his hand.
“Don’t pull Momo! She needs to go in deeper! Press down firmly!”
“What?”
He did as told and pressed down firmly on her cute little soles.
After struggling for a while, Momo pulled something out with a swoosh.
“Done!”
Momo, now covered in dirt, raised her arms triumphantly.
Jinhyeok hurriedly shifted his gaze, wondering if it was thousand-year-old wild ginseng.
A question mark appeared in his mind.
What is this?
“Is it an unexploded bomb? Kancheo, isn’t this explosive clay?”
“No! Don’t compare it to such inferior stuff!”
“What did you say! You called it inferior!”
He pulled back the charging Kancheo.
Sorry guys, I said something unnecessary.
But it really does look similar.
If explosive clay went into muddy water and came out, it would probably look exactly like this.
“Oh? Little one, can you give me that?”
Ellia, who received the clay-like thing, disappeared into the Star Forge.
Following her, he found Ellia examining the clay with a cannonball-sized magnifying glass.
After even dropping some mysterious potion on it, Ellia snapped her fingers.
“This is a regeneration jade.”
“What!?”
“Most of the energy that composed the jade has leaked out, so it’ll be hard to reuse. But anyway, you picked up something good.”
“How about Momo who picked up something good!!”
Momo crossed her arms and puffed out her cheeks.
Seira petted Momo in place of Jinhyeok who had gone to Ellia.
“Should I break it into small pieces and try to extract what’s left? Maybe I can make one regeneration pill?”
Jinhyeok, who had come closer, rubbed his chin.
“No, let’s make the pill later. Maybe we can use it effectively somehow.”
Jinhyeok smiled and took the regeneration jade.
Contrary to expectations, it might be useless, but then he could just make it into a pill.
[Exiting from the Tower of Despair ‘Somewhere between 59th and 60th Floors’ floor!]
[You have cleanly destroyed an existence that could not dare be defeated! Regardless of time taken, you are awarded SSS+ grade!]
[The next floor is the 61st Floor of the Tower of Despair!]
Dawn after midnight.
Jinhyeok came out to the courtyard and listened carefully.
Perhaps because they had drunk heavily, everyone seemed to have fallen asleep.
He quietly came out and took Momo to the faucet area.
Yoo Jin-hee, who had gladly given up her room to Cheon Se-yeon, was sleeping in the living room.
If he used the living room restroom, Jin-hee might wake up.
“It’s cold! Momo’s face is going to freeze!”
“No. You’re not that weak. Sniff.”
“Sniff!”
“Ugh. Your snot is pitch black. It’s disgusting.”
Kancheo, who had approached at some point, frowned with all kinds of expressions.
“General. Aren’t we going to strengthen the compass? If we’re any later, Grandpa Toto’s discipline might completely fall apart.”
“You’re right. We need to go discipline Grandfather… I mean, strengthen it.”
After thinking for a moment, he nodded.
“Let’s go discipline Grandpa Toto tomorrow. Today we’ll start from the 11th Floor.”
Compass strengthening is good, but meeting the Manshin comes first.
“Understood. General. Please wash off that snot quickly. Your hands might rot.”
“Hey, they won’t rot.”
Even while saying that, he quickly brought his hands to the tap water.
After giving her a thoroughly combative cold water face wash, he put Momo down.
“Hey Yodel! My snot isn’t dirty!”
He wondered why she was being so well-behaved.
Momo immediately charged and grabbed Kancheo’s ears, shaking them.
Meanwhile, Jinhyeok opened his inventory.
Elder Centipede’s armor that he had asked Ihwa to craft.
“Momo, Kancheo. Come here and try this on. It’s a gift.”
At the word gift, the Kan-Mo duo immediately stopped fighting and ran over.
“I like this!”
Momo, who received the armor, showed the brightest smile in the world.
As expected, she’s a friend who knows value.
Kancheo also seemed pleased with the perfect fit and struck a very dignified pose.
‘So insignificant it’s cute.’
“I’ll wear it well! General!”
“Momo will wear it well too!”
“I have the same one too. Like triplets.”
“I like triplets!”
All three wore pleased expressions for a moment.
Then sounds came from the living room.
Momo and Kancheo quickly dismissed their manifestation.
The door opened with a creak and Yoo Jin-hee appeared, still half asleep.
“Waaaterrr…”
Yoo Jin-hee was even swaying left and right.
Don’t tell me this young one?!
“You little brat, you didn’t presumptuously chug alcohol, did you?”
“What alcohol. I couldn’t even touch my lips to it.”
Yoo Jin-hee showed her bright red swollen hand.
It seems she did presumptuously try.
Ms. Kim Min-ji, who wouldn’t miss this, apparently suppressed her before she could even tilt the glass.
“Foolish. Come drink some water.”
He picked up a cup rolling on the ground and filled it with water.
Perhaps very thirsty, Yoo Jin-hee downed it in one shot as soon as she received it.
“The water tastes like tap water?”
“Well, because it is tap water.”
“What? Mr. Yoo Jin-hyeok?”
“Just kidding. This is groundwater.”
“The courtyard is probably just tap water though?!”
“Really? I’m learning this for the first time in 22 years.”
He shrugged at Yoo Jin-hee’s glare.
What could he do? He didn’t know.
To change the subject, he took out the centipede armor from his inventory and handed it over.
“What’s this?”
“Something good.”
Jin-hee took it and checked the options first.
After a moment, Jin-hee’s eyes widened.
“What is this?! It’s made from Elder Centipede’s scales? This must be incredibly expensive.”
“Be grateful and wear it. I went through a lot of trouble to get it.”
“Ooooh! I’ll wear it well! But, um… how should I put it, it’s full of holes.”
Jinhyeok swallowed dryly.
Sharp girl.
After making ones for his friends, he had made one more with the leftover materials, so it was a bit shoddy.
“That’s how this type of armor is supposed to be worn. The defense is excellent, right?”
“Yeah. It’s incredibly light too. Good, I like it. Though the look is pretty awful.”
“Give it back.”
“Hey! What does appearance matter? Surviving is what’s important.”
“That’s right.”
While nodding his head.
Something plump like wild ginseng came waddling over from beyond the courtyard.
It wasn’t making any sound, but somehow looked like it was crying.
“Huh? Tolong! Why are you crying?!”
It seemed to be a spirit summoned by Yoo Jin-hee.
As she quickly picked it up, Tolong squeaked and explained what had happened.
“What? You were plowing the field when something suddenly flew over and kicked you? Its way of speaking was really strange, and a raccoon? A raccoon kicked you?”
Cold sweat broke out on Jinhyeok’s back.
It’s Kancheo. Without a doubt, it’s definitely Kancheo.
But still, is it okay to do that?
What time is it now for solo farming?
Even if it’s a spirit, this seems too much.
“Oppa. There must be a crazy raccoon in the neighborhood. Usually they’d run away scared when they see a spirit, but it just kicked without warning.”
“R-really? That friend must be quite hot-tempered.”
He whistled while pretending not to know.
I should tell him later.
That it’s a friend helping with the household farming, so don’t beat it up.
“When I meet it later, I’ll give it a real beating! So hurry up and go finish plowing!”
The spirit Tolong waddled back to the field again.
Are spirit rights really okay like this?
‘Fighting, Tolong.’
He sent encouragement in his heart and moved his steps.
“Well then, good work.”
When he gave a casual greeting, Yoo Jin-hee similarly waved her hand lazily.
Instead of going into his room, he went up to the rooftop.
Today the weather was nice and a gentle breeze was blowing.
It was a perfect day to spread out a mat and sleep.
As soon as he finished arranging his spot, Kancheo appeared from the darkness.
Kancheo naturally took a spot in the corner and lay down.
“Kancheo. Don’t hit the spirit. It’s a poor friend doing forced labor.”
“Is that so? Something suspicious was wandering around, so I thought I’d establish some discipline.”
Establishing hierarchy without even being asked.
This was a moment when he worried about Grandpa Toto, who would be next.
“This is Momo’s spot!”
“Then I’ll take here.”
“I’ll lie down at the end.”
The friends who appeared afterward lay down one by one.
Dark, who originally didn’t sleep, took a position by the railing instead of lying on the mat.
Jinhyeok stretched his arms and legs out in a cross shape and gazed at the sky.
Unlike Seoul where seeing stars properly was like plucking stars from the sky, this place was a starry paradise wherever you looked.
It felt like his eyes were being treated to luxury.
The gentle mountain breeze that blew tickled his cheeks.
“This is nice.”
It was a sleeping spot that made those words come out naturally.
After stargazing for a while, his eyelids began to grow heavy.
Since it had been a fulfilling day, he didn’t particularly resist.
As he closed his eyes.
‘When I wake up, I should go meet the Manshin.’
He established his plan for after waking up.
Just as Dark had said.
He was addicted to the Tower.
[Entering the 11th Floor of the Mythic Tower, ‘Space Where Something is Sleeping’!]
He passed through the torii and climbed up the stairs.
“How unusual. This isn’t exactly a good place for a stroll.”
The voice reached him before the figure came into view.
It carried strength but somehow felt tired.
When he completely climbed the stairs, he could see the owner of the voice.
The composition itself was the same as what he remembered seeing before.
However, it seemed the situation had worsened as time passed.
In the hologram, the Manshin had been leisurely pressing down on the gravestone.
Now it was the opposite.
The gravestone had become so unstable it looked like it might shatter at any moment.
From the cracks in the gravestone, the same energy he had felt from yesterday’s Remnant was leaking out.
“I know why you’ve come. But the situation isn’t favorable right now.”
[The being called Manshin expresses difficulty!]
[Card collection is impossible right now!]
He opened his mouth without concern.
“What’s underneath the gravestone?”
“This is the Plague of the Land. A very evil thing. If you show even the slightest opening, it will burrow in and spread, defiling the earth.”
“I met something with the same energy yesterday.”
The Manshin’s face contorted.
“That can’t be. I should have sealed it perfectly.”
Jinhyeok smiled.
“The place where I met it was a bit strange. A place where you can’t tell if it’s the past, present, or future, or what conditions and branching points it followed.”
“A future where I can no longer hold on.”
The Manshin drew a bitter smile.
It was a future that could easily happen.
Since he was already struggling with his strength.
“Would it be okay if I killed the thing underneath?”
“I understand your desire to help, but that’s impossible. That thing doesn’t die.”
“Let me try once.”
He took out the Yodel Compass.
And he had brought the regeneration jade that Momo had picked up yesterday.
Sure enough, as soon as he took it out, the compass pointed underneath the gravestone.
“Wait, excuse me.”
Jinhyeok effortlessly lifted up the weakened Manshin.
“Wait! The plague…”
“Oh, by the way, our party all speaks casually to each other.”
[The force pressing down on the gravestone has been withdrawn! The Plague of the Land bursts forth!]
Kwaaaaaaaah!
A dark creature surged up from the ground.
At the same time, precisely toward the direction the compass was pointing.
Swooosh!!
Black Moon Night was unleashed.
Ding!
[The regeneration jade contained within the plague has been destroyed!]
[Something that had been sleeping for a long time, the ‘Plague of the Land,’ is permanently eliminated!]
[Card Hero, ‘Camella Shirin, Reader of the Skies’ has changed to a collectible state!]
