Only I Have Two Towers Episode 146

This Will Be Tricky

“Phewwww.”

I entered the barrier and lay down.

Fieldwork after such a long time.

Maybe because it’s snowy plains with blizzards, even though I only worked for a few hours, my stamina was completely drained.

Kancheo, who had walked over with crunching steps, came beside me and lay down as well.

His fur was completely soaked, probably from trudging through the snow.

“My body feels like it weighs ten times more.”

His fur looked incredibly heavy from being soaked with water.

At least it’s not a thousand times heavier, so that’s fortunate.

“How about some hot cocoa!”

“Thanks, Momo.”

“Very good indeed.”

I half-sat up and sipped the cocoa Momo handed me.

As the hot liquid went down, I felt my body pleasantly relax.

“Kancheo, dry your fur.”

“Understood. I need to make my body lighter.”

Dark and Seira, who joined us afterward, also sat down near the campfire.

Truly natural-born powerhouses.

Even after such heavy labor, they don’t show a single sign of fatigue.

‘Still, we’ve organized quite a bit.’

I looked around outside the barrier.

When we first entered, it was incredibly gloomy, swallowed by shadows.

Now sunlight was pouring in.

Thanks to the iceberg that was blocking the sun disappearing.

The temperature and atmosphere itself felt much warmer and cozier.

“Captain. Do we need to blast more rocks?”

“No. This much is enough.”

Fortunately. I need to make more clay.”

Kancheo shook his empty bag to show it was completely empty.

Since it’s a mini crossbody bag, it seems like it can’t hold much clay.

‘So that’s why he was working hard to make more after firing the minigun once.’

I recalled the image of Kancheo quietly molding clay in the corner.

A pang of emotion!

I’ve been too focused on climbing the tower to pay proper attention to Kancheo.

The kid was struggling with insufficient bag storage space while I was giggling over buying a 200 million won motorcycle.

I need to reflect on this.

“Wait just a bit, Kancheo. I’ll buy you a subspace bag. One that’s not heavy to carry around.”

“Can it hold lots of clay?”

“Tons of it!”

“Very good indeed. Now I can blow up much more!”

After giving him an enthusiastic pat, I crossed my arms.

And let out a quiet murmur.

The groundwork was more or less complete.

The raging blizzard could be blocked by Camilla’s barrier.

Now what remained were hardy seeds that could sprout even in this snowy field.

“Hmm.”

Camilla, with her pipe in her mouth, walked toward the wall.

Camilla tilted her head for quite a while, as if trying to recall something.

Perhaps because of that, the amount of smoke she was puffing out today was tremendous.

Just as the vicinity was about to become a foggy village, Camilla spoke up.

“I once saw flowers grown in a blizzard. But I can’t remember when or where that was. There was definitely a family that had been doing such things for generations.”

“Ellia. Don’t you have any memory-enhancing potions?”

“If I had one, I’d want to drink it first. I’ve been forgetting things frequently lately.”

“That’s not something potions can fix. Granny. It’s the natural order, so please accept it.”

Ellia fiddled with Kancheo’s head.

“This little friend seems quite remarkable. Every time I see him, he has this charm that makes me want to tease him.”

“Do you want to explode?”

While Kancheo and Ellia were bickering.

Jinhyeok got up.

“We’ve done everything we can for now, so let’s go out and look for seeds. And there’s still one more place we can look forward to.”

He pulled out the Yodel Compass from his chest.

Until we get the seeds, there’s no need to come back up to the 12th Floor.

In other words, it’s the perfect timing to visit the Yodel Forest.

I don’t know what functions will be added, but the Yodel Compass has never failed to meet expectations.

“I almost forgot again! Now it’s really time to go! Toto the Elder’s authority must have disappeared!”

“Let’s go as soon as we get the ticket.”

After stretching lazily, I pressed the exit button.

Today’s farming ends here.

[Exiting the 12th Floor of the Mythic Tower.]

Kansai International Airport, Japan.

Cheon Se-yeon, with her hat pulled down low, emerged from the airport.

Cheon Se-yeon walked toward a logistics warehouse located nearby.

Ring ring ring.

“Yes. Team Leader Jin Yun-ho. I’ve arrived.”

# They might have already noticed. If there’s a connection between the onmyoji group and the Japanese government.

“That’s probably right. I came through the immigration checkpoint openly after all. But so what? I’m here on vacation.”

Se-yeon shrugged her shoulders.

Rather, she hoped they would notice and come to her on their own.

That would save her the trouble of having to find them.

# Are you keeping the talisman that Jinhyeok gave you safe?

“Of course.”

She looked down.

Thanks to Jinhyeok being generous, she had attached them to every possible place – arms, legs, neck, and shoulders.

If they were good talismans, the more the better.

While walking and receiving basic information.

A car parked in a secluded spot flashed its lights.

Se-yeon squinted her eyes and smiled.

“Yes. I just met up with them. I’ll contact you when I get to Kyoto.”

She hung up the phone and walked toward the car.

“Hunter Cheon Se-yeon. It’s been a while.”

“It has been a while. Hunter Kim Hyeon-ung. Hunter Lee Kyeong-ho is here too.”

“You know me. I don’t really like Japan. How could I miss out on going to smash things up?”

Grade 2 Hunters Kim Hyeon-ung and Lee Kyeong-ho, currently clearing floors in the 80s.

They were selected from Busan and Daegu as the main force for this raid operation.

“Older Sister Se-yeon!”

“Oh, Yun-jeong!”

Lee Yun-jeong ran out and hugged Cheon Se-yeon.

A Grade 2 Hunter with particularly excellent skills, she’s called the poster child of the Jeonju Hunter Bureau.

I looked at the three people once more, alternating between them.

Usually, main forces are excluded from mission deployments.

But since the matter is serious, it feels like they’re actively supporting us.

“Hunter Cheon Se-yeon is the only Grade 1 level here.”

“Can’t help it. Grade 1 hunters are already on missions, and officially affiliated Grade 1s need permission from respective countries every time they move.”

An officially registered weapon from another country entering.

I imagine no country would welcome such a thing.

If Cheon Se-yeon wasn’t a freelancer, she would have been stuck watching today’s operation while twiddling her thumbs.

“What about Kang Seok? He’s a freelancer so he can come. Why isn’t he here at such an important time?”

“Kang Seok has some circumstances. His childhood mentor got into trouble. Anyway.”

Se-yeon held out the bag she was carrying.

Lee Yun-jeong received it bewildered and opened it.

“Ta, talismans? Older Sister! Do you believe in strange things these days?”

“It’s a long story to explain. Everyone carry plenty without exception. It’s a matter of life and death, so don’t just brush it off.”

Lee Yun-jeong nodded, took hers, then passed the bag around.

She didn’t ask any more questions.

It was rare for Cheon Se-yeon to speak this seriously. There must be a reason.

“Shall we go then? To Kyoto.”

“Let’s get in. I’ll drive.”

“Thank you.”

Cheon Se-yeon and the Grade 2 hunters got in the car.

As the engine started, the vehicles waiting behind also turned on their lights.

About thirty hunters who came as support from each branch.

“Let’s go. To hunt oni.”

The vehicles began moving with Cheon Se-yeon’s car in the lead.

The Kansai Oni who came to Korea without fear and caused chaos.

To catch those guys, they departed for Kyoto.

The spacious officetel terrace.

Jinhyeok, drenched in sweat from consecutive training with Seira and Dark, widened his eyes.

“Opening your eyes wide won’t make your alchemy better, you know?”

“It’s my way of concentrating, I guess?”

There’s no end to learning.

Alchemy lessons following sword, chain, and physical training.

He drew a transmutation circle following the demonstration Ellia had shown.

Then he placed the prepared flash potion and small explosive clay on it.

“Now flow mana into it. You need to be tense from this point on, okay? If the transmutation fails, something terrible might come out.”

“Something terrible?”

“A bomb that blows off the alchemist’s wrist?”

“Oh. Focus, focus.”

What he’s trying to make now is something like a flash grenade that explodes and blocks the enemy’s vision.

“Visualize what you want to make in your head. The more specific, the better. It’s even better if you know what principle it operates on. I recommend not closing your eyes, okay? It might help concentration, but you can’t close your eyes every time during combat.”

“Okay.”

He concentrated once more and flowed mana into the transmutation circle.

The explosive clay and flash potion mixed together, emitting blue light.

Ellia, who was watching, quietly stepped back.

Given the materials involved, she decided to stay a bit away.

She refused to have her head turn into a conch shell from the clay exploding.

A spherical orb formed above the transmutation circle that had emitted light once.

‘Did I succeed?’

He swallowed dry saliva and picked up the orb.

Then he lightly threw it into the air.

Swish!

He slashed it with his sword.

The orb caused a small explosion and scattered flashes around.

“Kyaaaaa! Momo’s eyes!!”

“Momoooook!!”

He was definitely playing games with Kancheo in the living room?!

He tried to finish the alchemy but ended up finishing off innocent Momo instead.

Ellia picked up Momo who was rolling around.

“No need to worry, okay? When you can’t see, your other senses develop.”

“No! Quickly fix my eyes!”

Ellia laughed watching the panicking Momo.

Sometimes this elf has mischievous sides.

A satisfied smile appeared on Jinhyeok’s face.

Sorry to Momo who rolled around, but the alchemy was successful for now.

“Hmm, quite good?”

“Was it okay?”

“Not just okay, it’s excellent? This chubby one rolling around is proof of that.”

Momo’s eyes were all swollen from how much he had rubbed them.

“Momo can see now.”

Momo gave a tiny thumbs up and slipped into the living room.

He seemed to have decided to stop watching dangerous things.

Ding!

Perhaps because he even received recognition from his alchemy teacher.

[The level of unique trait Star Alchemy Basics increases! Current level: 3]

[Transmutation circles you’ve successfully created once can now be instantly drawn at any desired moment!]

[Transmutation circle activation and completion time decreases!]

Even the trait level increased nicely.

‘Nice.’

He threw a punch into the air.

Instant transmutation circle completion.

Just moments ago he had to draw them one by one with chalk or pencil, but now that’s no longer necessary.

‘I can use this.’

Although there are only a few transmutation circles he can instantly complete, just being able to use them in actual combat is a huge gain.

While Jinhyeok hummed and reviewed what he just learned.

Star Alchemist Elia Posen quietly smiled.

‘A student worth teaching.’

It’s not just that he learns quickly.

His ability to utilize what he’s learned is particularly excellent.

The flash grenade he just completed was also combined with Jinhyeok’s idea.

Even Ellia, who doesn’t know much about close combat, thought it would be quite useful in melee fights.

“Hmm.”

Ellia leaned against the railing and rested her chin on her hand.

Then she looked up at the dawn sky.

She didn’t know who it would be in the future, but they would be quite formidable.

Facing our master, that is.

“Ellia. Should I try one more transmutation before sleeping?”

Just as he was about to ride this momentum and come up with a new idea.

Ring ring ring ring.

The intercom began ringing.

Huh? It’s four in the morning right now?
