Only I Have Two Towers Episode 145
Make the Flowers Bloom
[You have entered the 12th Floor of the Mythic Tower.]
As soon as I entered, I nodded my head.
I did well to leave my friends behind.
Whooooooosh!!!
A fierce blizzard blowing as if it would kill me.
If I had brought them while they were still wet, they would have turned into frozen fish immediately.
‘Oh shit.’
I took out a hat from my inventory and put it on.
The wind was so strong it felt like getting slapped by snow.
‘Just how many degrees is this.’
I took out the digital thermometer I had prepared in advance.
A fresh friend that arrived via dawn delivery.
Crack.
“Huh?”
The thermometer froze immediately and cracked.
The last temperature it recorded was minus 50 degrees.
‘It died? Right after I took it out?’
Denying reality, I took out the instruction manual that came with it.
# Minimum recordable temperature: minus 50 degrees.
‘Sorry.’
What could I do? It’s my default to only check the manual after problems arise.
After apologizing once more, I sent the thermometer that crossed the river to its rest.
Anyway, seeing that it didn’t just fail to measure but completely shattered, it means it’s much colder than minus 50 degrees.
No wonder the air felt so cold.
“What a tremendous blizzard.”
Seira, who had manifested, frowned.
“Seira, wear this.”
I gave her the snow goggles I had purchased in advance for the 60th Floor area.
I thought she’d refuse because of the tacky fluorescent color, but Seira accepted them and put them on properly.
How is it that she looks good even wearing something like that.
I was going to give some to Dark who manifested next, but it didn’t seem necessary.
Dark didn’t even blink whether snow was hitting his face or not.
Truly an ice man.
And.
Ding!
As soon as Dark appeared, the system reacted.
[This is a fragment of memory possessed by the immortal Dalk Castro.]
[Frostheim, a barren snowy plain where only those born for it can survive. Not once has a plant ever bloomed here.]
[Clear the 12th Floor of the Mythic Tower by making flowers bloom in Frostheim!]
“Don’t mess with me.”
Jinhyeok, who spoke without thinking, was startled and covered his mouth.
He had talked back to the system for the first time.
That’s how absurd the clear condition was.
A normal person probably couldn’t last even a minute here, and they want me to make flowers bloom?
Moreover, this isn’t even an ordinary snowy plain.
Large glaciers, crevices, and rocks positioned everywhere.
As a farmer’s son, I dare guarantee it. This place had all the worst elements for growing anything.
“Hah.”
But what could I do.
I couldn’t beat up the system, and if I wanted to climb higher, I had to do it somehow.
“Dark, were you born here?”
“Ah. From the moment I opened my eyes, I was under such blizzards. It’s been so long.”
“Have you ever seen plants growing nearby?”
“As if there could be any.”
“I figured.”
This won’t work.
I need a walking encyclopedia.
“Did you call me, mas… I’m freezing to death!”
Ellia, who had manifested, screamed and hid behind Seira.
Ellia hurriedly put on the fur coat she had received from Yoo Su-yeon.
Only then did Ellia, who breathed a sigh of relief, walk over.
“It’s been 2,000 years since I almost died.”
“Why did you almost die back then?”
“I got caught trying to steal an egg from a dragon’s nest.”
“Oh…”
That’s definitely something she would do.
“I wanted to try raising a pet. I was planning to raise it stronger than any other dragon and then return it.”
Well, growing up with Ellia would certainly make one tough in many ways.
Though it would require going through the painful process of potion mukbang.
“Ellia. I need to grow flowers here, is there anything that might help? Based on my knowledge, what’s needed to make flowers bloom is sunlight, water, and soil. For sunlight.”
I pointed around with my finger.
The glaciers surrounding this place in a massive dome shape.
Thanks to them, the sun couldn’t reach here, casting shadows over the snowy plains.
“We can just blow that away. Water can be solved somehow since we can fetch it. The soil seems to be the problem.”
“Hmm. That’s certainly true.”
Ellia crouched down and cleared away the snow piled on the ground.
If this were an ordinary mountain, we could dig through the snow until we reached soil, but this place is made of glaciers to begin with.
No matter how deep we dig, we’ll only find crevasses, not the soil we want.
“Flowers that bloom in snow. I feel like I’ve heard of them, but also like I haven’t.”
Ellia held her head in her hands.
Even Ellia, who has lived 3,271 years, seems to find this challenging.
“Ellia. Then keep thinking about it. We’ll do some groundwork.”
I sent manifestation requests to the other friends too.
The Camilla and Khanmo duo manifested after properly changing into warm clothes.
“Momo, make a base camp over there in the back. This work seems like it’ll take quite a while.”
“Base camp? What’s that?”
“Just light a big bonfire. Make sure it won’t go out even in this blizzard.”
“Mmm.”
Momo rubbed her chubby chin.
“The blizzard is too strong! The bonfire will get blown away!”
“I’ll block the wind. Chubby one, do you have a wooden stick?”
“Here! It’s the staff Momo uses when climbing mountains.”
“Too short. It’ll hurt my back.”
“Then I’ll give you master’s!”
“Much better.”
Camilla, who had properly wrapped her fur coat, stepped back.
Camilla took out a palm-sized ink bottle, something she usually carries around.
Camilla dipped the end of the stick in ink and began drawing on the snow.
“That fraud is doing wicked things again.”
Kancheo swallowed his dry saliva and glared at Camilla.
His expression was resolute, as if he wouldn’t miss a single moment of her movements.
‘We’re on the same side, Kancheo.’
After waiting for a moment while looking at him with sad eyes.
Camilla, who had finished drawing, untied the prayer beads she was carrying.
Camilla began muttering as if reciting Buddhist scriptures.
“My ears feel strange!”
Kancheo pressed down his twitching ears.
Even though she was clearly chanting quietly, it felt like the entire chamber was resonating loudly.
“Barrier.”
As she spoke the final word, blue light flowed from the ink beneath her feet.
A massive translucent wall rose up with Camilla at its center.
It wasn’t simply grand in appearance alone.
Camilla’s long hair, now positioned within the barrier, no longer fluttered about.
A space that refused entry to the raging blizzard.
It felt like just that part had been cut out and separated from this world.
“Captain.”
“Yeah?”
“I saw this in comics. It’s a technique that barrier masters use. But isn’t Camilla a shaman?”
“Right. She’s a shaman, but I guess she’s also a barrier master.”
“As expected, she’s a fraud.”
“Let’s call it multi-talented.”
“A multi-talented fraud.”
While exchanging this meaningless conversation with Kancheo.
“Now I can finally live a little.”
Camilla, who had put the prayer beads back around her neck, sat down.
“Hey there, chubby one. Come here and boil some tea… You’re already inside.”
Momo was already inside the barrier, stacking up firewood.
“It looked warm, so I came in! I’ll stack this up and boil it for you!”
Jinhyeok walked up to the barrier and rubbed his chin.
This, this is good.
Maybe I could create something like this.
A space that could produce a greenhouse effect.
“What are you doing? Aren’t you coming in?”
“I’ll do some work and come back. Camilla, this would be fine even if an avalanche happened, right?”
“Of course. Who do you think I am?”
After giving a thumbs up, he turned around.
“Let’s go, Kancheo.”
Squeeeak!
Kancheo, who had been running to enter the barrier, slammed on the brakes.
Kancheo quickly assumed a salute position as if he had never intended to go in from the start.
“Yodel Ranger Vice-Captain Kancheo! Awaiting the Captain’s orders!”
“Sorry Kancheo. Let’s finish this quickly and go in to rest.”
“The basics of Yodel Rangers is to always be ready for battle! Rest is unnecessary!”
While patting the dignified Kancheo, he pulled out chocolate from his pocket.
“Seo-hee gave me this, saying she bought it in Japan. There’s only one, so eat it secretly, just you.”
“Thank you!”
Crunch crunch crunch!!
‘Huh?’
The large chocolate disappeared in an instant.
Kancheo put it all in his mouth at once and chewed.
His face was as happy as if he had gained the entire world.
By the way, his blood sugar levels should be okay, right?
After waiting for him to swallow, he pointed to the rocks in the snowy plains.
“See those embedded rocks? Blow them all up. If you break them into small pieces, I’ll clean them up.”
“Yes sir! Understood!”
“Seira, see that glacier blocking the sunlight? Cut it down a bit.”
If anyone else had heard this, they would have raised a hundred question marks, but.
“Understood.”
Seira was indifferent.
Seira nodded quietly and drew Tarkan the Dark Sword.
She lightly kicked off the ground.
Seira leaped high and assumed a drawing stance.
Normally, sword drawing requires having your feet planted on the ground, so its power is halved in mid-air, but it didn’t matter. She had power to spare.
[Najeber Style Sword Draw 3rd Technique, Dragon’s Rise]
Swooooosh!!
As she swung her sword, pitch-black sword energy spread out in a circle.
The sword energy seeped into the surrounding glaciers.
There was no thunderous roar.
No flashy effects with whooshing sounds erupted either.
But it was enough.
Rummmble…!
Black lines were drawn on the glacier along the grain where the sword energy touched.
The glacier, cleanly cut, slid along the lines.
“Wow.”
Ellia, who had been watching, clapped like a seal.
Camilla, who had been sipping tea inside the barrier, let out a hollow laugh as if she couldn’t believe it.
Though she had seen various things like ghosts and demons, she was still amazed.
The fact that someone who displayed such martial prowess actually existed.
“Ha.”
Dark, who had been watching, also let out a chuckle.
He knew that Seira’s level had risen a step higher since the last sword collection.
He had directly witnessed that power through lightning rain and energy discharge.
But he was amazed once again.
A knight who cuts mountains with a single sword.
It didn’t make sense.
“Damn strong.”
Dark muttered quietly and turned his gaze.
His master Yoo Jin-hyeok, standing alongside Ellia and Kancheo, clapping like a seal.
After witnessing that tremendous martial prowess, he was convinced once again.
He could become much stronger than now.
If he stayed with that person.
“Kancheo, demolition!”
“Demolition!”
Jinhyeok and Kancheo, who had come to their senses, also began moving busily.
The moment the glacier chunks that had just been cut fell to the ground, a tremendous avalanche would occur.
If it had to happen anyway, they planned to deal with it all at once.
Boom! Bang!!!
Explosions erupted from all directions.
Jinhyeok caught the rocks that shot up from the explosion’s aftermath with his Eternal Cold Iron and hurled them far away.
Dark let out a quiet breath.
This place was Frostheim.
It was the hometown where he was born and raised.
That’s why he had thought it would be impossible.
Something like making flowers bloom in this land of death.
But why was it?
His thoughts had changed.
‘Somehow, I feel like it might actually work.’
He quietly smiled and began walking.
Then he kicked off the ground.
He intended to approach this more seriously than ever before.
To become stronger than he was now.
To fulfill his old friend Ruka’s wish, even if it was late.
