Only I Have Two Towers Episode 176

Rakshasas

Question marks were drawn across Kang Woo-jin’s face.

He couldn’t understand it at all.

What the hell? This situation.

For now, he tried to put strength into his upper body to get up.

Bang!

But it was useless.

A longsword came flying and pierced through his upper body.

The other parts were the same.

He was trying somehow to escape this pit, but he couldn’t move.

He barely managed to roll his newly regenerated eyeballs.

In his field of vision, he could see a man standing above the pit.

A man with his hands in his pockets, looking down at him.

He still wore a helmet, so he couldn’t see what he looked like.

‘What the hell is that.’

Ordinary humans would normally be terrified when facing him.

But the man before his eyes was different.

Far from being scared, he was overflowing with composure.

As if he had seen beings with this kind of regenerative power and strength before.

“…!?”

The rain of swords stopped.

Cough!

Kang Woo-jin, who had coughed up blood, raised the corners of his mouth.

“Have you run out of strength?”

It was handling this many weapons.

The resource consumption had to be enormous.

“But what about this? I’m regenerating again. Didn’t I tell you? I don’t die. I’m the owner of eternal life.”

“Enough with the useless talk. Tell me about yourself. That’s why I stopped. Let’s start with how to address you. You’re not human. What should I call you?”

Jinhyeok crouched down and stared at Kang Woo-jin.

He had felt a strange sense of déjà vu and was uncertain, but watching quietly, he became convinced.

That thing was exactly the same as what he had seen in the horn’s memories.

The appearance itself was unmistakably human, but the atmosphere it gave off matched perfectly.

“How arrogant. Do you think I’ll answer? I’m immortal. What would I fear to answer your questions?”

“You’re not immortal.”

Whether Kang Woo-jin’s eyes widened or not.

Jinhyeok smiled and continued speaking.

“You just look immortal.”

“What….”

Jinhyeok’s pupils turned blue again.

Jinhyeok rested his chin on his hand and gazed at Kang Woo-jin with his spirit eyes.

It had decreased a lot from before.

The number of souls that Kang Woo-jin possessed.

“You need souls to regenerate, right? The more fatal the wound, the more you need.”

Kang Woo-jin didn’t answer.

More precisely, he had frozen up.

It was a truth he had lived forgetting for a long time.

He had accumulated so many souls over time that he had come to consider himself immortal.

“When all your souls run out, you die. Your eternal life is only half-baked, so what immortality.”

Crack.

Blood vessels bulged on his face that had been endlessly composed.

It had been really long since he felt such humiliation.

Now that it had come to this, proposals and such didn’t matter anymore.

That neck.

He would definitely take it.

He quietly checked his body’s condition.

Recovery was mostly complete.

1 second…. No, 0.5 seconds.

That would be enough to reach that human.

He turned his palm toward the ground so as not to be detected.

And he gathered his strength.

So he could shoot out in one burst.

Now in just a few seconds….

“Oh my.”

Jinhyeok flicked his finger.

Dudududududu!!!

The bombardment of iron weapons began pouring down again.

The body he had barely recovered was instantly turned into rags.

Seira’s unique trait: motion detection.

It didn’t miss even the slightest flick of a finger.

‘It’ll be soon.’

The number of souls rapidly decreasing each time a weapon was embedded.

By the way, these were really good eyes.

He had been anxious about seeing ghosts in the wrong places, but they were being a great help.

Screech.

Due to the unexpected commotion, people had gathered at Namsan Tower.

Barricades were set up there and several sedans entered.

Probably one of those was Jin Yuho’s vehicle.

After roughly gauging the time, he snapped his fingers.

The weapons stopped right in front of Kang Woo-jin’s eyes.

“Grgh….Gr…. Graaaaaah!!!”

As soon as the necessary parts regenerated, Kang Woo-jin let out a scream full of agony.

Whether he did or not, Jinhyeok, who had been quietly looking down, held up one finger.

“One left.”

Kang Woo-jin drew in a sharp breath.

He knew what that meant.

Death.

A concept he had never thought he would face in his lifetime.

The remaining parts weren’t regenerating.

It was proof that what Jinhyeok had just said was true.

He barely managed to lift his eyes.

If he could just escape this pit, everything would be resolved.

There were humans hanging right in front of him.

He could feel quite a few presences from below the tower as well.

If he could just get out of here. If he could shake off that man just once.

Today’s events would end as a small happening.

“I’ll ask one last time. I don’t have time now either. People will come soon. What are you? You’re not human.”

Kang Woo-jin swallowed dry saliva.

He couldn’t afford to act leisurely like before.

If even one of those weapons pierced him, it would really be the end.

Lying is also dangerous.

There’s no telling how far those blue eyes can see through.

“Rak… shasas.”

“Rakshasas? Sounds like a dog’s name.”

Crrrrrack!!!

Crimson blood vessels bulged.

How dare he insult that name.

He would definitely tear him apart and kill him.

“We are… predators that have existed since ancient times. We’ve been called by many names. Demons, ghosts, evil spirits, and such.”

“So basically a group. What’s your relationship with the Rabbit Maredo?”

“That creature also became a Rakshasa later on.”

“No wonder it became so hideous.”

When he saw it in the game, it wasn’t that bad.

‘Rakshasas.’

He repeated that name in his mind.

A race that appears in various ancient Indian religions like Hinduism and Jainism.

Usually they play evil and malicious roles.

“Why did you only drop Maredo’s boxes in Korea?”

“To find the traitor.”

“Traitor? Could it be.”

He took out the horn from his inventory and showed it.

Kang Woo-jin was startled in shock.

It was such an intense reaction that it couldn’t be missed.

“Where did that come from!!”

Jinhyeok stepped back with a disgusted expression.

What the hell? Are you crazy? His face was full of that nuance.

He couldn’t help it.

This guy had come out of the space he himself had constructed, yet was now raging about where it came from.

“Bring it here right now! It’s not something a mere human should possess!!”

He decided to drop the honorifics.

A very long time ago. It was a horn sealed so it could never awaken, so no one could ever find it.

How could it be brazenly held in a human’s hands?

Jinhyeok smiled at the excellent reaction.

“The owner of this horn isn’t a traitor but a natural enemy, right? He used to sweep you guys away.”

Kang Woo-jin’s face was covered with question marks.

The human before him was at most in his early twenties.

How could he know everything so thoroughly when it was impossible for him to know?

Jinhyeok looked back.

The sound of people coming from the stairs.

It was time to go back.

“I need to go.”

There were still many things he wanted to ask.

How did they put the Rabbit Rakshasa Maredo into the Tower of Despair.

What were they planning to use the souls collected there for, and so on.

But he decided not to be too hung up on this guy.

This creature was just one among many Rakshasas.

That meant there were still many others who could give him answers.

Besides, even if not from the Rakshasas, meeting the owner of the horn would resolve many of his curiosities.

He dusted off his bottom and stood up.

And put away his weapons.

As expected of Genex! Not a single scratch today either.

“Bye.”

Jinhyeok waved once and disappeared just like that.

“Huff…! Huff…!”

Kang Woo-jin, with his tension released, burst into rough breathing.

‘Kill him. Kill him. Kill him. Kill him.’

Grinding his molars, he crawled up from the pit.

It seemed he had been spared because the human judged he could kill him anytime, but that was a huge mistake.

He would be the one doing the killing.

More cruelly and horribly than anyone else.

First, he needed to replenish his depleted souls.

He would replenish from the humans coming up…

Kang Woo-jin opened his mouth at the suddenly appeared presence.

A fluffy ball of fur.

It wasn’t human.

What is this now… Plop.

Something rolled into his mouth.

He felt an unpleasant stickiness.

“It would be troublesome if traces remained, so cleanly. That’s what he said. Well then, good luck.”

After striking an annoying pose, the being disappeared instantly just as it had appeared.

And shortly after.

An explosion occurred inside his body.

It was a cute little explosion just enough to scatter Kang Woo-jin’s body into pieces.

Ten minutes later.

Jin Yun-ho looked down at the sunken pit.

The inside was a complete mess as if there had been an explosion.

It was scattered so finely that it was impossible to tell what had been there.

“We’ve brought down all the people who were hanging. Four of the captured people died, and the rest are fine except for dehydration symptoms.”

“Don’t send anyone back. We need to investigate.”

Reporter Min Yu-jin had already given detailed testimony.

That everyone who was hanging was closely connected to the culprit Kang Woo-jin.

“And they say Kang Woo-jin was alive. Even until the helmeted man left. But for some reason after that, he exploded by himself.”

Jin Yun-ho rubbed his chin.

It seemed Jinhyeok had only subdued him and left.

Did he take his own life to protect information?

“Team leader.”

Yun Mi-ri, who had been beside Min Yu-jin, approached.

“What about Jinhyeok?”

“He went home first. He said he’d rest a bit then climb the Tower.”

Jin Yun-ho let out a sigh of relief.

Since he was going to climb the Tower, it seemed he wasn’t injured anywhere.

“The police will be here soon, so let’s hand things over and go back.”

“Understood.”

Jinhyeok’s request and the disappearance of Min Yu-jin, Yun Mi-ri’s friend.

They had only come because of these two things, but from now on it was police territory.

Jinhyeok had agreed to organize and inform them separately about the points related to Maredo’s box later.

“Ah, I’ll handle things from now on, so go see your friend. Even if she’s not hurt, she must have been very frightened.”

Yun Mi-ri smiled.

“Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it, get some good rest and see you tomorrow.”

Yun Mi-ri nodded her head and walked toward Min Yu-jin.

Seeing Yun Mi-ri approaching, Min Yu-jin wore a determined expression.

Contrary to Jin Yun-ho’s worries, Min Yu-jin’s condition was perfectly fine.

Far from being mentally traumatized, she was in a slightly excited state.

“Right? It’s right. Runner.”

“No.”

“You were wearing a helmet anyway so I couldn’t see your face. You can at least tell me whether you’re a Runner or not.”

Yun Mi-ri shrugged her shoulders very firmly.

“You’re a Runner. Since you’re saying no, you’re definitely a Runner.”

Min Yu-jin pressed her forehead.

“To think that Runner saved me. Crazy, what an honor. From today on, all the guys posting hate comments on Runner-related posts are dead.”

“Are you really someone who almost died?”

“I still remember it vividly. To think you saved me in that moment.”

Yun Mi-ri shook her head.

As expected, this friend Min Yu-jin isn’t in her right mind.

“But what I’m most grateful for.”

Min Yu-jin wrapped her arms around Yun Mi-ri’s neck.

“Is obviously you. Thank you, friend. For coming to save me.”

“Why are you being awkward again. If you’re grateful, buy me some beef.”

“You know journalists don’t make much money. How about tripe instead?”

“Fine, I’ll settle for beef tripe. Let’s go to the hospital first.”

Yun Mi-ri supported Min Yu-jin.

Yun Mi-ri looked in the direction where Jinhyeok had left.

And she smiled.

Since she ended up owing him another debt, she’s thinking of buying him a really, really delicious meal later.

“Groooan!”

Jinhyeok stretched and checked his watch.

It’s almost midnight now.

Time passed quickly going back and forth here and there.

Crack. Crack.

He loosened up his body while waiting for the alarm to ring.

It was time to go search for traces of the Black Dragon.
