Only I Have Two Towers Episode 169

Horn

Experience jumping from an airplane: 1 time.

Experience jumping from a helicopter: 1 time.

With a total of 2 experiences, I thought I had gotten somewhat used to falling.

‘This is scary!!’

Jumping into a place where I couldn’t see the bottom at all was a completely different problem.

It felt like I’d been falling for a while, but I still couldn’t see the ground.

My hands were itching because I wanted to stop right away.

And perhaps sensing this coward’s inner conflict.

“You can’t stop yet!”

Great Teacher Momo delivered a sharp rebuke.

Of course, she slapped my neck repeatedly to snap me back to my senses.

After what felt like an eternity of 10 seconds passed.

“Now!”

As soon as her voice reached me, I thrust both swords into the cliff.

Kwagagagagak!!

What came next didn’t need any guidance.

I could see a cave next to where I had stopped.

‘What’s something like this doing in a place like this.’

A location I never would have discovered without Momo.

After jumping into the cave, I retrieved my swords with chains.

It was quite scary, but somehow I had arrived safely.

I took out a flashlight from my inventory and illuminated the interior.

Whoa. I can’t see the end of this place either.

Spider webs were hanging everywhere, as if no one had entered for a very long time.

Well, who would come to the middle of a cliff?

I firmly grasped Momo’s hand that was resting on my shoulder.

I definitely didn’t grab it because I was scared.

I held it in case Momo might be frightened.

After walking inside for quite a while.

Several layers of pitch-black iron chains came into view.

There were also plenty of talismans with eerily bizarre patterns drawn on them.

I approached closer to get a better look.

A horn?

I frowned and examined what was bound by the iron chains from various angles.

It was a horn about the size of a palm, tinged with a dark blue color.

After observing it briefly, I spoke up.

“Teacher Momo.”

“Why are you calling me!”

“Is this really a treasure? No matter how I look at it, it feels like a sealed demon’s horn.”

Momo rubbed her chin with her chubby fingers.

“The scent is definitely that of a treasure though.”

Even Great Teacher Momo seemed uncertain.

That’s how ambiguous its appearance was.

“How terrible.”

Camilla, who manifested afterward, wrinkled her nose.

“Tremendous vengeful spirits are dwelling within it. I can’t fathom how much killing was done.”

“So it really was a sealed demon’s horn.”

After nodding briefly.

I reached out my hand anyway.

Having come this far, I wasn’t going to just leave. I had to take it with me.

Touch.

The moment my fingertip touched the horn.

Suaaaaa…!

Dark blue smoke began flowing out.

The smoke surrounded Jinhyeok and began forming some kind of shape.

‘Oh?’

The form was different, but it was certain.

It was someone’s memory.

Jjeong! Kwaang! Kwajik!

Thunderous sounds came from the very beginning.

In front were beings of some unidentifiable race forming groups.

They had human-like forms overall, but their detailed features and the atmosphere they gave off were completely different.

“Kill them!!”

A massive army began surging forward like waves, each wielding their weapons.

However, the owner of the memory didn’t retreat. Not even a single step.

‘Is this a battle to protect something behind them?’

There are battles where you can’t retreat, where you must not retreat.

I’d never actually experienced one, but anyway.

Swish.

The memory’s owner leisurely threw a punch.

A motion resembling a straight punch.

Now I noticed they were barehanded.

Facing that great army without even a single weapon.

Is this going to be okay? I thought for a moment.

Jjeoeoeoeoeoeng!!!

The front was cleanly cleared away.

Huh?

Jinhyeok’s mouth fell open.

Even seeing it directly, it didn’t feel real at all.

All they did was extend a punch, yet so many enemies disappeared in an instant.

Of course, they didn’t all disappear.

It had been such a massive army to begin with.

Kwaang!! Deudeudeuk!!

But complete annihilation seemed imminent.

I was certain.

It would be the great army in front that would fall, not the owner of the memory.

‘This is making me motion sick.’

The viewpoint kept shifting rapidly – just how fast were they moving?

And each time, the enemies that had gathered in droves were mercilessly swept away.

At that moment, laughter brushed past my ears.

Goosebumps rose all over me.

It was a tone that seemed deliriously happy.

I decided to correct my earlier thoughts.

This wasn’t a battle where they couldn’t retreat, or one to protect something.

For the owner of the memory, this was merely a kind of game.

The most primitive and simple game for their own enjoyment.

‘Is this a species similar to Dark? Or maybe similar to Kancheo.’

Though not exactly the same, I couldn’t deny there were resemblances.

Dark, who never lost his smile even when surrounded by countless enemies, and Kancheo, who scattered deadly bombs while laughing “Puhehehehe!!”

These three definitely possess an indescribable madness.

While patting myself on the back for making an appropriate deduction.

Rustle.

The smoke that had covered my body cleared away.

Now that I’ve seen the memory, there’s even less need to hesitate.

Crack!

I quickly tore off the chains and grabbed the horn.

I need to go out and test it against the Yodel Compass.

“As expected of Master! This is treasure, so you absolutely have to take it!”

Momo beamed with a bright smile.

Normally, she would have quickly grabbed it and put it in her inventory.

But for some reason, she’s not doing that today.

“So bold. Fearless too. Just like Master.”

Camilla exhaled smoke along with words that could be either praise or insult.

“It’ll become a Raccoon Den!”

Momo stepped backward.

Perhaps because I stopped her from exhaling in the bathroom earlier, the intervals are unusually short.

“You two, cancel your manifestation. We’re going up.”

I created about a dozen Woo-in dolls, then dismissed them.

A dozen or so swords floated up gently.

I embedded them into the cliff one by one, then used them as footholds to climb up.

After collecting the swords again, I turned around.

Oh my.

The Rabbit, Maredo, floating in the same spot as before.

I was so absorbed with the horn that I momentarily forgot about its existence.

“It seems you’ve finished your business.”

A cold voice flowed out.

The atmosphere had become much more menacing than when we first met.

Indeed, Maredo’s hands were trembling faintly.

It was the first time.

That a mere human had ignored it to this extent.

But it didn’t scream.

It hid its anger as much as possible.

It couldn’t let me leave after making it this angry.

Somehow, it had to drag me into its stage and trap me forever.

Maredo steadied its breathing and forced a smile.

“Well then, shall we start the game? Tremendous rewards await you.”

It slowly approached Jinhyeok.

And bowed politely while extending its hand.

‘Grab it.’

After seeming to hesitate for a moment, Jinhyeok slowly reached out his hand.

Maredo desperately held back the corners of its mouth that were trying to rise.

Not yet. Just a little more. Just a little more. Grab it. Grab it.

Just as it was about to smile at the hand that had almost reached it.

Swish.

Jinhyeok changed the shape of his hand.

A middle finger extended right in front of Maredo’s eyes.

“…?”

The flustered Maredo looked up.

Even though their eyes met, Jinhyeok’s face was utterly peaceful.

Just like when he first entered, like when he treated Maredo as a non-existent being and jumped off the cliff.

“You asked if I finished my business earlier, right?”

Jinhyeok nodded lightly.

“I’m done. So now, get lost.”

Maredo’s face twisted horribly.

And just as it was about to roar violently.

“Kill.”

A Black Knight appeared from thin air.

A pitch-black sword swung without time to react.

But Maredo didn’t react.

There was no need to.

That sword wouldn’t reach it in the first place…. Slash!!

Its vision twisted.

Jinhyeok’s face kept getting higher.

No, it was the opposite.

It was falling.

Endlessly. Continuously.

Thud.

With a dull sound, Maredo’s head fell.

And its headless body collapsed powerlessly.

Jinhyeok quietly looked down at Maredo, who had fallen and could only look up.

“With those eyes…. At me….”

Maredo’s breath hadn’t completely stopped yet.

Even so, I didn’t deliver a follow-up attack.

Because I knew.

That it was already over.

As proof, the world Maredo had constructed was crumbling.

“Shall I guess? The reason you set the chamber’s entry condition to below the 71st Floor.”

Jinhyeok crouched down and continued speaking.

“Ignore all attacks from Foes with lower levels than you. Right?”

Maredo’s eyes widened.

How did he know that?

“You’ve never seen me, but I’ve seen you. Back then, your name wasn’t Maredo. Anyway, you have no idea how much I suffered trying to win your game.”

Of course, even until the end, I couldn’t win the game Maredo presented.

Instead, I spent weeks grinding on the previous floor to level up.

Then I came up and sliced Maredo to pieces before the game even started.

“That’s… impos… sible. Do you know what… my level is….”

“I don’t know what branch you took from the Mythic Tower to come to the Tower of Despair. However, no matter how much a rabbit flies and crawls, it’s still a rabbit. Could it become a tiger or lion?”

Seira, a Legendary grade card, is level 201.

It’s not a level that a mere rabbit could dare approach.

If it had been at a similar level? Maredo would have set a broader floor range instead of just below the 71st Floor.

And if, by any chance, one in ten million, Maredo’s level was higher than Seira’s and attacks didn’t work?

I could just escape and come back later.

I never even started the game in the first place.

Maredo’s body began turning to ash and scattering.

“Unfair….”

“Oh my.”

Before it could spout nonsense, I quickly stomped on it with my foot.

Where do you get off trying to say such bullshit about it being unfair.

“Stomp! Stomp! Harder!”

“Crush him! How dare you bark in front of the Captain!”

Kancheo and Momo joined in within 0.1 seconds, stomping their feet.

Thanks to that, Maredo vanished without even leaving final words.

[Soul Game Administrator Maredo has been eliminated!]

[All souls captured by Maredo are now released!]

Center of the space.

About a hundred lights shot up from the massive circular tower and scattered in all directions.

‘That’s surprisingly few.’

Considering the numerous boxes Maredo dropped, it’s a number that makes you wonder why there are so few.

Anyway, since they were safely released, I nodded with satisfaction and looked around.

The souls that had all returned home.

Bae Yu-cheol of the Cheongsan Clan must have regained consciousness too, right?

“Hmm.”

I rubbed my chin and stared at the collapsing space.

Is there anything more?

Just obtaining traces of the next Hero Card makes this visit more than worthwhile.

But human greed knows no bounds.

Since I used up one Tower of Despair ticket, I’m hoping for at least some experience points.

Or maybe a special box.

Or even a small item.

If not even that, then at least some accessories!

The moment I cried out in my heart.

Ding!

A familiar but always welcome notification sound reached my ears.
