Only I Have Two Towers Episode 179

Fortress Guarding the Mountain

A certain abandoned island located in Northern Europe.

A man who landed on the island looked around his surroundings.

A barren wasteland where nothing existed except rocks.

A place where no living beings could exist.

Nevertheless, the man moved his steps inward.

The center of the island where he arrived after walking for a long time.

“Open.”

As he muttered quietly, a translucent barrier appeared before his eyes.

When he drew a pre-arranged pattern, the barrier slowly withdrew.

After a while, a place that had been tightly hidden appeared.

A magnificent fortress so large it filled his entire vision and stretched even further.

As the man approached, the tightly closed castle gates opened.

“You’ve returned.”

At the voice that reached him, the man knelt on one knee.

“Were you out? My Queen.”

A woman with long flowing red hair smiled.

“Put away such stuffy formalities. So, how was it? That country called Korea.”

“It was a very small and insignificant country. So much so that I doubt whether it could even be called a nation.”

“Oh ho.”

The woman who let out a laugh approached the man.

And she bent down.

“In such a small and insignificant country…”

Suddenly, an aura burst forth and pressed down on the man.

“Two of them died? My children?”

The man who realized his slip of tongue bowed his head.

“I apologize. Though it’s a small nation, it seems to have unexpected military power.”

The woman who had remained in that state for a moment straightened her body.

“I’m joking. Just joking. Don’t get so serious. Kang… what was it? His name in that country.”

“It’s Kang Woo-jin.”

“Right. Tell me about the unexpected military power you mentioned, the one who killed Kang Woo-jin. Is there any connection to the traitor we’re looking for?”

“No traces of the traitor were found. And we haven’t been able to identify who killed Kang Woo-jin yet. All connections in that country have been severed, so it won’t be easy.”

“I sent you to find the traitor, but you only brought back another troublesome variable?”

“I’ll take Rakshasas skilled in searching. And I will find them.”

“Hmm… Korea.”

The woman who trailed off tilted her head.

The name of a small country she had never heard of.

But an oracle had descended.

An oracle that the natural enemy of the Rakshasas would appear in that small country.

‘It must be the traitor.’

There’s no possibility of it being another being.

We are the Rakshasas.

The only thing that could be called the natural enemy of the Rakshasas is that one traitor.

“My Queen.”

“Speak.”

“To be honest, I’m not certain. Even after searching all of Korea and its surroundings, we couldn’t find a place similar to the Sealed Mountain. The Sealed Mountain and the traitor that disappeared hundreds of years ago, are they really in Korea?”

“That’s what I sent you to confirm. Sending Maredo and Kang Woo-jin as bait was for that reason too.”

If the traitor had been freed from the seal, he would have definitely taken the bait.

He would never let the Rakshasas live.

But something else appeared and smashed the carefully prepared bait.

“It’s safe to assume the traitor hasn’t been freed yet.”

“I think so too. After all, it wasn’t just the Sealed Mountain that disappeared, was it? Even the fortress that guarded that place disappeared entirely. Along with the Third Wicked of the Rakshasas who stayed at the fortress. As long as he’s there, no one will be able to break the seal.”

The Queen nodded.

She completely agreed with the man’s opinion.

However, that didn’t mean she could simply ignore the oracle.

The oracle had never been wrong even once.

“Eight Wicked Ranjets.”

“Yes, Your Majesty the Queen.”

“I’ll assign you children skilled in searching. Go to Korea and find whoever killed Maredo and Kang Woo-jin. And bring them back. Whether as a corpse or still breathing.”

“Understood. Ranjets of the Eight Wicked Rakshasas will obey Your Majesty the Queen’s command.”

The Queen spun around.

And moved her steps.

It didn’t matter if there was no connection to the traitor.

Even setting aside Maredo who had just become a Rakshasa, Kang Woo-jin had died.

It was the first time in hundreds of years.

The first time a perfectly fine Rakshasa had been completely annihilated.

That’s why she had to confirm it.

No matter how much this power called awakening had emerged, how could mere humans kill a Rakshasa?

[Entering the 13th Floor of the Mythic Tower.]

A desolate wind greeted Jinhyeok’s party.

Today too, the unfriendly system remained quiet.

‘Oh shit.’

A place that gave him goosebumps just by standing still.

It had an atmosphere where ghosts could pop out at any moment and it wouldn’t be strange.

Jinhyeok stealthily walked over and stuck close to Camilla’s side.

Momo, who was second to none as a coward, also backed away and clung to Camilla’s leg.

If this place were a haunted house? The safest place would undoubtedly be next to Manshin.

“You were so brave when fighting, but I see you’re afraid of ghosts.”

“Of course. I’m a believer in shamanism.”

Whooooo.

Camilla, who exhaled smoke, squinted her eyes.

“There probably aren’t any ghosts, but there will be other things.”

“Other things meaning?”

“The demonic energy is tremendous. There must be something non-human here. It’s the same aura as those creatures my master slaughtered last time.”

“Rakshasas?”

“I’m sure that was the name.”

“That’s strange. I don’t sense any presence. There’s no place where they could be hiding either.”

“I don’t feel anything either! I think this ghost hag is lying!”

A barren wasteland without a single weed.

There was no visible place where Rakshasas could hide.

“Oh my, oh my.”

Camilla, who made eye contact with Jinhyeok, drew a mysterious smile.

Blue energy was flowing from her eyes.

“You gained eyes but what’s the point if you don’t use them? There are no ghosts, so open your spiritual sight.”

He drew an awkward smile.

He had been restraining himself in case he might see ghosts, but he’d been caught.

[Spiritual Sight]

Blue energy settled in his eyes.

And shortly after, Jinhyeok’s eyes widened.

A translucent barrier filled the front.

Beyond it, indistinct shadows could be seen.

Though hard to see clearly due to the barrier, it looked like quite a massive building.

Something seemed to surround the back of the building too, but I’d have to go inside to see it properly.

Ding!

[You have discovered the Fortress of the Rakshasas! This fortress has guarded this place for a very long time! You must capture the fortress to proceed to the next area!]

[To enter the fortress, you must tear through the barrier!]

[You need a sorcery item that surpasses the barrier! The crafting recipe and required items are listed!]

A sense of despair washed over me as the list of materials lined up.

Just when I thought we could finally go find the owner of the horn, another crafting item appeared.

The materials even dropped from various locations, meaning I’d have to revisit Tower of Despair floors I’d already been to.

Jinhyeok shook his head.

Going up was already urgent enough, and now they wanted me to go back down? That wouldn’t do.

At times like this.

“Manshin Godmella-nim.”

“What’s with that weird title?”

I grabbed Camilla’s collar and spoke with sparkling eyes.

“Could you please tear through the barrier?”

Camella Shirin, the one who reads the heavens.

She was both a Manshin and an excellent barrier specialist.

I wasn’t sure if barriers were Camilla’s domain, but I prayed desperately.

Please say yes!

“Of course I have to tear it. Were you planning to just sightsee and go back?”

Camilla chuckled as if I was talking nonsense.

“The system says to make some sorcery sword, but we don’t need it?”

“Why would we need such a thing?”

Camilla crossed her arms and smiled.

“I myself am the most powerful sorcery weapon.”

With that hopeful answer, Camilla walked forward.

Camilla reached her hand toward the barrier.

Whoosh!!

Thousands of letters and symbols poured out from her outstretched hand.

Letters that instantly covered the entire barrier.

Camilla looked back.

“Get ready. It’s right ahead.”

Jinhyeok and his party, who had been waiting behind, equipped their weapons.

Kancheo moved a bit away and aimed his slingshot.

It seemed he planned to start with a refreshing shot.

“Destruction.”

With Camilla’s brief word.

Crash!!

The barrier shattered into pieces and collapsed.

Jinhyeok kicked off the ground and shot forward past Camilla.

Then he swung his sword forward.

Sparks burst out with a sharp friction sound.

From the side, Dark and Seira also leaped out to face the emerging enemies.

Whooo.

Camilla, who had blown out smoke, gazed at Jinhyeok in front of her.

Jinhyeok had been the first to sense the presence and rush out to block the attack.

The corners of Camilla’s mouth turned up.

“What a reliable master. Then I’ll leave the rest to you all.”

Having finished speaking, Camilla leisurely turned around.

Then she took Odongtongi Momo and entered the barrier.

Jinhyeok looked at the enemy beyond his greatsword.

“Rakshasas?”

“That’s not a name for mere humans to utter. Who are you?”

Jinhyeok smiled.

“The person who’s going to destroy your fortress.”

[Black Shadow Island]

He drew a straight line and moved forward.

A dozen or so Rakshasas in his path instantly collapsed.

Boom!!!

It seemed Kancheo had fired his slingshot.

A massive explosion erupted from the fortress beyond.

Like the Yeti barrier, the fortress was instantly reduced to ashes.

However, unlike the Yeti who had completely vanished, this was different.

“What the! They’re getting back up!”

The scattered Rakshasa bodies reconnected in the flames.

Crack.

The guys I had just cut down were the same, but they weren’t given time to recover.

[Iron Brand]

Thud thud thud thud thud thud!!

Just like I had done to Kang Woo-jin, I embedded hundreds of weapons.

After scanning the battlefield with my spiritual sight, I spoke.

“They don’t have as many souls as the guy we met before. Most have about a dozen, so just kill them until they can’t regenerate.”

“Roger! Got it!”

Kancheo fired his minigun toward the fortress area.

Explosions erupted in succession, and the Rakshasa horde was swept away again.

‘Nice.’

Jinhyeok smiled.

Like Kang Woo-jin, the Rakshasas here had body shapes almost identical to humans.

Thanks to that, explosion damage was more effective than simply cutting once with a sword.

Their soul consumption was that much faster.

“Interesting. They keep getting up even when killed. It feels good to fight.”

Dark rushed forward with his mouth corners raised high.

Ice imbued with Frostheim’s cold air.

Just trapping them in it made their souls wear away rapidly, so it was very effective.

“Master, I’ll clear a path.”

“Okay. I’ll follow right behind.”

Seira moved forward, striking down the charging Rakshasas.

Since they all used wide-range attacks, it was advantageous to maintain some distance and engage in individual combat.

Confirming sufficient distance had been established, Jinhyeok also re-equipped Salamanca and Yerga’s axe, which he had removed from his weapon collection.

From then on, lava and ice piles erupted from the scattered weapons.

With Salamanca in one hand, Ganjangmakya in the other, and eternal cold iron wrapped around each wrist, he moved forward.

The numerical difference was large, but it didn’t matter.

Our side was overwhelmingly superior in individual strength.

After cutting down Rakshasas for quite a while like that.

Screech!

Something shot out at tremendous speed.

I sensed the presence in advance and dodged, but it was so fast I couldn’t avoid it completely.

The shoulder area caught by the blade’s tip.

Clang!

[Physical attack has been inflicted on your body! Karakl’s Ring – Quick Shield activates!]

“Huh?”

As the weapon bounced off, the being that had just appeared let out a hollow laugh.

“You have something interesting. Boy, what’s your name?”

“Yoo Jin-hyeok.”

“I am Kalik of the Three Evils. Well then.”

The corners of Kalik’s mouth curved up long.

“Die.”

Kwaaaaaaaah!!
