Only I Have Two Towers Episode 139

Instant Death

Jingle. Jingle. Jingle.

The increasingly loud bell sound spread throughout the entire chamber.

Though it was noise loud enough to ring the ears, Jinhyeok didn’t react.

He just quietly watched the old woman.

‘He won’t be able to see it.’

Kurone drew a chilling smile.

How truly pitiful.

That brat would die without even knowing what killed him.

She stared at the death curse traveling on the bell sound.

5 seconds? No, it wouldn’t even take 3 seconds.

That was all the time left for that brat.

Swoooosh…!

The death curse that advanced without hesitation reached Jinhyeok’s body.

Kurone’s lips stretched even longer in a grin.

‘I’ll make sure you pay the price for your arrogance.’

How dare some worthless brat spout nonsense about calling her trash or whatever.

She would mutilate his corpse so he’d wander the nine heavens even after death.

While she smiled briefly, enjoying such pleasant fantasies.

A question mark appeared.

Something was strange.

The death curse had definitely reached its target.

It was already past time for it to burrow into his body, so why wasn’t it disappearing?

Jingle! Jingle!! Jingle!!!

She shook the bell roughly, but it was useless.

The death curse didn’t move.

More precisely, it refused its master’s command.

The moment she lifted the bell again with a frustrated heart.

“!!!!”

Kurone finally realized it too.

The reason why the death curse seemed to stop and couldn’t fly any further.

She dropped the bell but couldn’t think to pick it up.

She just hesitantly stepped backward.

“Uh… ah…”

A bizarre moan flowed out.

What in the world was that thing?

This was a first. No, it had to be a first.

Was it because Kurone lacked experience? Knowledge? Ability? No.

Something like that shouldn’t exist in the first place. Its existence made no sense.

“My friend told me. If I faced you, you’d definitely throw a death curse again. Since that’s all you know how to do. But she told me to just take it.”

Having said this much, Jinhyeok began reciting exactly what Camilla had said.

“Anyway, trash can only throw trashy things. It won’t be able to harm you at all. And throwing a death curse at you is the same as throwing one at me. It would be the best way to make her realize her place.”

“Ah, ah…”

For just a moment, she felt that being’s presence from Jinhyeok who was conveying the message.

Kurone’s legs gave out and she collapsed right there.

Her face was horribly contorted with terror.

Having lived as an onmyoji for so long, she knew what would happen next.

Twitch!

The stopped death curse began to move.

And it creaked as it slowly turned direction.

Cold sweat poured down like rain.

Even mobilizing all her imagination, she couldn’t dare fathom it.

How strong and terrible would the death curse become when it bounced back from such a being?

“Kill, kill me!! Kill me!!”

Kurone shouted while looking at the sword in Jinhyeok’s hand.

A death curse once thrown cannot be withdrawn.

Kurone being struck by the instant death was a predetermined sequence.

So she had to die.

Before that terrible thing reached her body.

“Kill me!!”

The tied-up children covered their ears.

It was such a sharp scream.

But Jinhyeok didn’t move.

He just stood still and silently stared at Kurone without saying anything.

“Kill…!”

Kurone, who was about to shout once more, closed her mouth.

A chilling coldness rushing in from her fingertips.

This wasn’t from the death curse.

The man quietly staring at her as if he would do his best to enjoy watching her die horribly.

That wasn’t some brat.

That too was a being that had long departed from the category of ordinary.

“This, this is…”

A dizzying smile appeared.

And with that as the last.

Kwagagagagak!!

The bounced death curse struck Kurone.

Cheon Se-yeon’s House in Hannam-dong.

“Hmm.”

With a low murmur, Camilla smiled.

The death curse’s energy rapidly growing faint.

Judging by the reaction, it seemed he had done well just as instructed.

“He really is extraordinary. Should I say he’s not normal?”

It hadn’t even been a full day since joining the party.

Even so, she could tell.

Jinhyeok had been so urgent that he broke through the balcony to enter.

Judging by that action, it was certain that Jinhyeok worried about and cherished Cheon Se-yeon.

He had directly faced the culprit who tried to kill such a Cheon Se-yeon.

An ordinary person would have had their head turn completely white with rage and excitement.

Naturally, they would have completely forgotten what Camilla had instructed.

But Jinhyeok didn’t do that.

Though he was angry, he didn’t rush.

Though his body heated up, his head maintained its composure.

And he carried out exactly what Camilla had instructed.

Because he knew.

That this method could give the enemy the most painful and terrible death.

The trash Kurone who had tried to harm Jinhyeok’s cherished person.

Camilla’s master Jinhyeok wasn’t kind enough to grant such a foe a comfortable death.

“Mmm.”

Was it because the death curse was withdrawn?

Se-yeon stirred as her consciousness returned.

Camella placed the bracelet down on Se-yeon’s body.

“Child, you don’t need to know every truth. What’s better left unknown can simply be buried. For you, this bracelet would be such a thing.”

Camella, who had brushed Se-yeon’s hair aside, stood up.

It was time to return to her master’s side.

Before leaving, she looked back at Se-yeon once more.

“You may feel proud to your heart’s content. You are reliable and strong enough to deserve it.”

While thinking of her master Yoo Jin-hyeok’s face.

“Having such a good friend is also a blessing.”

Camella Shirin, the reader of the heavens, released her manifestation.

A couple of hours later.

Se-yeon woke up from her sleep and groggily sat up.

Then she looked around.

‘…What?’

There was no other impression worth leaving besides this.

The living room was a complete mess with glass shards scattered everywhere.

‘It wasn’t a dream after all.’

It was so surreal that she naturally thought it must have been a dream.

Unfortunately, it seemed to be reality.

By the way, her head, which had been terribly heavy just earlier, felt much lighter now.

The unpleasant headache had also completely disappeared.

Despite the chaotic situation, her condition was at its best.

“Hmm.”

Se-yeon pressed her forehead and recalled her memories.

One face immediately came to mind.

Se-yeon jumped up and looked around.

“What? Where did he go after smashing someone else’s balcony?!”

In the midst of this, a bead bracelet caught her eye.

Perhaps because it was a precious gift from a little fan.

Her absurd mood seemed to calm down a little.

Worried it might get mixed in with the glass fragments, she quickly gathered it up and walked to the table.

Her phone was thoughtfully turned on, perhaps sensing its owner’s anger.

“I’ll give you one chance.”

She immediately pressed the call button.

Naturally, the recipient was Yoo Jin-hyeok.

The ringtone went several times, but the recipient ultimately didn’t answer the phone.

Se-yeon looked down at her phone with a dumbfounded expression.

‘Seriously, what’s with this person.’

She stood there dumbfounded for quite a while.

Ding dong!

A cheerful bell sound rang out.

Se-yeon, who walked to the intercom, had to lose her composure once again.

He coolly smashed the balcony to enter, and now he’s coming through the door?

Click.

The door opened and Jinhyeok entered.

“Hello, Se-yeon.”

Jinhyeok greeted her as if nothing had happened.

Se-yeon was so stunned that she couldn’t respond immediately.

Regardless of whether she did or not.

“Oh my, the living room is a mess.”

Jinhyeok muttered to himself and swept up the glass fragments.

Se-yeon, who had been blankly watching him, opened her mouth.

“I know you’re not someone who would break a balcony for no reason. What happened? Wait a minute. Let me drink some water before we start talking.”

Se-yeon went to the refrigerator and gulped down cold water.

Now she finally felt like her head was clearing up.

“I’m ready. I don’t think I’ll be surprised by whatever story I hear.”

Se-yeon spoke boldly.

Jinhyeok nodded and began his story.

And when the story was nearing its end.

“Whaaaat?! A curse? The kind that appears in legendary hometowns? Oh, has it never appeared? Anyway!”

“That’s the curse.”

“Was such a thing really possible?”

“It existed. I found out for the first time too.”

“Wh… Wow.”

Se-yeon let out an exclamation and rubbed her arms while groaning.

It was because she remembered her particularly bad condition and misfortunes today.

“That’s really creepy. What happened to the person who cast the curse on me?”

“He’s dead. As if he received divine punishment.”

Se-yeon burst into a snicker.

It was a bit absurd, but she didn’t bother to question it.

Originally, Jinhyeok was the type to only say what he could say and beat around the bush for the rest.

“I picked up some things that could serve as evidence from there. Team Leader Jin Yun-ho will also be coming soon.”

“Team Leader Jin?”

Se-yeon, who understood his intention, continued speaking.

“You don’t think it was a personal grudge.”

“That person had this in his luggage.”

She received a bundle of documents.

Exactly thirty pages.

Se-yeon’s eyes widened after reading a few pages.

“Could this be…?”

The news she had seen at Jinhyeok’s house in the morning flashed through her mind.

She quickly searched on her phone.

A list of missing persons that perfectly matched the documents.

Se-yeon sat down on the sofa and ran her hand through her hair.

Even while looking at it, she wondered if this was real.

“He only targeted Players.”

“Take a look at this too.”

“Ha.”

Se-yeon, who confirmed it, let out a hollow laugh.

Personal information of herself and another South Korean ranker.

“A Japanese onmyoji targeting South Korean rankers. The form is different, but doesn’t the pattern itself seem familiar?”

“That’s right. It reminds me of our damn former handler.”

“It had been quiet for so long that I thought it was over, but I guess it wasn’t. Or maybe there are just particularly many groups that hate Korea.”

Se-yeon let out a sigh and leaned back on the sofa.

“Would I be a terrible person if I said I’m somewhat relieved right now? When you said I was cursed, I was racking my brain trying to remember when and where I could have done something to earn that level of resentment.”

“Come on. Where would Se-yeon go to earn such resentment?”

“That’s true. I’m really nice.”

“Excuse me?”

“I was just saying that.”

Jinhyeok nodded and stood up from his seat.

Since we’ve said everything that needed to be said, I was about to finish cleaning up.

“Just leave it. I’ll clean it up.”

“Huh? But I’m the one who broke it.”

“You were hurrying because you were worried something might happen to me.”

Se-yeon smiled softly as she took the stick from him.

“Thank you. If it weren’t for you, Jinhyeok, something terrible could have happened.”

“Don’t mention it. It was the natural thing to do.”

“The natural thing… to do.”

Jinhyeok looked puzzled as Se-yeon mulled over his words.

Then Se-yeon said it was nothing and started sweeping the ground.

He knew it was a serious situation.

He knew that, but regardless of the circumstances, a smile spread across his face.

‘Now that I think about it again, it was pretty cool. Jumping onto the balcony like that.’

Even the hopeless phenomenon of memory beautification had occurred.

Just then.

Ding-dong!

Along with the bell sound, a familiar face appeared.

# This is Jin Yun-ho.
