Only I Have Two Towers Episode 180

Where Flowers Will Bloom

In Rakshasas, there exists a title that represents the measure of strength.

Evil .

Not all Rakshasas are granted this title.

Only 10 Rakshasas, those who rank within the top ten fingers, can be called Evil.

Kalik is the 3rd Evil.

This means he is the 3rd strongest among all Rakshasas.

Of course, whether he’s still the 3rd Evil now is unknown.

Hundreds of years have passed since he fell along with the entire mountain.

However, no matter how much time has passed, the fact that he was once among the top five in Rakshasas is undeniable.

Kalik himself knew this fact better than anyone.

When he met the human before his eyes, and when his scythe reached the human’s shoulder, he was certain.

This fight would end in an instant.

But.

Kwang!!

It didn’t take very long.

To realize that his earlier certainty had been a mistake, that is.

Kwagagagagak!!

The swung blade slashed across Kalik’s eyes.

Kalik pulled his body back and regenerated instantly.

It was time to advance again, but it was impossible.

As soon as distance opened up, a barrage of weapons poured down.

Even when he thought he had completely dodged, lava and ice would occasionally surge and cover his body.

“Huuuuu.”

Kalik, who had retreated far back, stared at Jinhyeok.

“Boy, are you truly human?”

“Yes. 100% pure.”

Honestly speaking, it’s unbelievable.

And for good reason – until hundreds of years ago, humans were nothing more than prey for Rakshasas.

Beings who became food when Rakshasas wanted to eat, and playthings when they wanted to toy with them.

Yet such a human is fighting on equal terms with himself, the 3rd Evil.

Had he not experienced it directly, he never would have believed such a situation.

“How do you possess such power…?!”

Before he could finish speaking, swords poured down from the sky.

Kalik kicked off the ground and leaped into the air.

Normally, he wouldn’t have dodged.

After all, he wouldn’t die even if he took all the hits.

But his instincts were telling him.

Against this human, he couldn’t do that.

He had to treasure each and every soul.

Kwagagagak!

Iron chains wrapped around his legs and dragged Kalik to the ground.

Kalik severed his own legs to escape.

He swung the scythes in both hands and sent forth wind blades.

Jinhyeok quickly retreated before the wind could even reach him.

‘Am I mistaken?’

He frowned.

For some reason, his movements seemed to be getting faster.

To confirm, he kicked off the wind and shot toward Jinhyeok.

Two scythes and a greatsword began clashing without an inch of retreat.

Sparks burst forth endlessly, blooming gorgeous flowers in the darkness.

From a distance, it looked like an evenly matched battle.

But the reality was different.

Though he had been repelled by some unknown force, his first attack had certainly reached Jinhyeok’s shoulder without difficulty.

Therefore, he had believed without doubt.

That if he put his mind to it, his attacks could reach him at any time.

However, after the first surprise attack, the number of attacks that reached Jinhyeok was a perfect zero.

Far from inflicting wounds, he couldn’t even get close.

Thanks to this, he couldn’t even trigger that mysterious protective barrier he had seen at first.

The longer the exchange continued, the more question marks filled Kalik’s mind.

‘Why.’

Kaang!

‘How.’

Kwagagak!!

‘Why won’t they reach…!’

He swung both scythes wide.

Jinhyeok burrowed in without defending, even as the attack was being launched.

Just as he wondered if the man had lost his mind.

An unknown force burst forth from the advancing scythe.

The powerful force applied in reverse, causing the scythe to lose its speed and weight.

In that moment, Jinhyeok’s greatsword pierced through Kalik’s heart and throat.

‘Damn it… Choose one thing – either long-range or close-range.’

Since he was shooting swords from long-range, he had judged that close combat would be weak as usual.

But when he burrowed in, the close combat was so terrifyingly excellent that long-range seemed better.

Perfectly balanced physical coordination and swordsmanship, plus reflexes and instant judgment that burst forth whenever needed.

He couldn’t fathom who the master was that raised such a person or what kind of daily life they led.

‘Regenerate again and…’

Pueong!!!

The moment he tried to regenerate, a massive explosion burst forth and scattered Kalik’s body.

[Explosion Enchant]

Jinhyeok exhaled quietly and raised his head.

After confirming where Kalik was regenerating, he triggered the stack of his engraved sword Kamachi once more.

Before one part could regenerate, his body exploded again.

Jinhyeok smiled.

A fight where they exchanged dozens, hundreds of blows.

Thanks to this, he could easily accumulate engraving stacks on the same location.

In this situation, Kamachi was beyond useful – it was an extremely handy weapon.

He could trigger it when needed for defensive or offensive purposes.

‘Must not let my guard down.’

He poured weapons down on Kalik.

It was impossible to easily capture him like he had with Kang Woo-jin.

The ability to regenerate at any desired location among the divided parts.

Since he could emerge from scattered flesh, he was an enemy he couldn’t take his eyes off.

Huwung…!

He swung his sword backward at the incoming wind.

Kalik was pushed back, unable to withstand the force.

His once-relaxed face gradually became colored with bewilderment.

It couldn’t be helped.

In the beginning, he had surpassed Jinhyeok in both power and speed.

That’s why he had tried not to lose sight of Kalik.

If he couldn’t read ahead with motion detection, he might allow a surprise attack like the first time.

He had even deliberately restrained explosive enchants that could scatter the body, fearing it might regenerate in the wrong place.

But now there was no need for that.

Thanks to the steadily accumulated buffs from Ganjangmakya, his stats had surpassed Kalik’s.

‘Still, there are quite a lot left.’

This was definitely a different class from Kang Woo-jin he had met before.

Tremendous physical abilities and reaction speed, and even the number of souls possessed.

He wondered when he’d be able to eliminate all of that.

“I have something I’m curious about.”

“You stick a sword in first when I’m talking, how shameless.”

“Does Sam-ak mean third strongest in Rakshasas?”

“You know it properly.”

“I see. That’s good.”

“Good? What is?”

A pure smile formed on Jinhyeok’s lips.

“It means the Rakshasas I’m going to kill is the third strongest.”

Kalik let out a hollow laugh.

For a moment.

Both corners of his mouth stretched long.

It had been a long time.

A battle that wasn’t one-sided slaughter.

And it really had been a long time.

Since he had thought he absolutely wanted to win, beyond simply killing or not.

Kalik stabbed both scythes into his body.

Using that as a signal, Jinhyeok also dropped his sword.

Enemy transformation or awakening was always rejected.

Kalik chanted incantations while taking the pouring attacks head-on.

His souls decreased at tremendous speed, but he didn’t care.

If he could complete it and win, souls could just be refilled later.

Kwaaaaaa!!

As the incantation reached its final stage, a massive wind burst from Kalik’s body.

A secret technique that consumed large amounts of souls to explosively increase physical abilities momentarily.

Normally he would have stopped around here, but.

‘I will definitely win.’

Kalik continued the secret technique.

Even though he could feel chunks of souls disappearing, he didn’t care.

He had to end it this time.

Otherwise, he might have to face.

The concept of defeat he had long forgotten about.

Kugugugugugu…!!

The surrounding earth began to shake from the massive power.

Kalik gathered power beneath his feet.

He would shoot out in an instant and drop that human’s head.

Finally the secret technique casting ended.

Kalik raised both scythes for a single strike.

And the moment he was about to shoot out.

“…?”

A question mark appeared.

When had it changed like that?

The chains wrapped around Jinhyeok’s arms had changed.

Not only were they dyed dark blue, but he could feel a vicious cold that hadn’t been there before.

[Using Collector class unique skill ‘Skill Borrowing Lv1’!]

[Borrowing one of unique skills, unique traits, or Bogu!]

[Borrowing Immortal Dalk Castro’s Bogu ‘Eternal Cold Iron – Frost Storm’!]

Jinhyeok gazed at Kalik shooting toward him rapidly.

And quietly recited.

“In the bitter cold of Frostheim, ten thousand ice flowers shall bloom.”

[Ten Thousand Singing Cold Flowers]

The coiled eternal cold iron spread out in an instant.

Jjeojeojeojeojeojeojeok!!!

It bloomed a tremendous number of ice flowers centered on Jinhyeok.

Kalik’s eyes widened at the approaching ice flowers.

It was like a tsunami covering the entire area.

Response was impossible.

Because it was a disaster that a small being could never handle.

He had no choice but to accept it as it was.

“This monster bastard…”

With a small murmur, the corners of his mouth rose.

He had to acknowledge it.

This was his complete defeat.

Kwagagagak!!

The ice flowers swallowed Kalik whole.

His souls, already greatly reduced from using the secret technique, were rapidly depleted.

Before long, even his last remaining soul faded away.

And not far away.

“Kik.”

Dark burst into laughter.

It was a bit absurd.

To think he’d use the Bogu awakening technique that even I hadn’t tried yet.

He had even drawn away all the ice that had been carefully built up through combat.

“Well, he is my master.”

Dark shrugged and tilted his head.

“Hey Knight. Stop glancing over and focus on combat now. Our monster master doesn’t seem to need your help.”

“Shut up, madman. You’re the one who should stop hovering near master and focus on your own combat.”

The reason the two were positioned close enough to have a conversation was simple.

They wanted to keep Jinhyeok in sight to prepare for any possibility.

This was the same for the other friends too.

Though positioned in the back, everyone was watching Jinhyeok’s battle.

Ready to manifest at his side at any moment.

Dark giggled and looked at Jinhyeok.

Less than 3 minutes had passed since the battle ended.

Yet Jinhyeok’s breathing was stable.

It meant he had plenty of room during the battle.

‘This is… I can’t gauge it.’

The opponent was by no means weak.

That’s why everyone had been tense watching the battle.

But Jinhyeok had taken down such an opponent too leisurely.

One-sidedly, overwhelmingly.

‘Just how fast is he getting stronger?’

Dark, who drew a smile as if finding it amusing, shot out toward the fortress.

For some reason, after watching Jinhyeok’s battle and victory, he felt excited.

That’s why he planned to kill even faster and in greater numbers.

The group of Rakshasas who blocked his path without knowing their place.

Just as he was catching his breath and about to walk toward the fortress.

Wooooong!

The Horn in his inventory showed a strong reaction.

When he took it out, the Horn instantly shot out and flew toward the mountain behind the fortress.

And shortly after.

Kugugugugugugugu!!!

The mountain began to collapse. And from beneath it.

Suaaaaa…!

Two purple glowing eyes flowed out.

Ding!

[The owner of the Horn is released from the seal!]
