Only I Have Two Towers Episode 182

Goblins and Rakshasas

Jinhyeok and Kancheo hurriedly set up their fishing chairs.

Momo, the infinite warehouse owner, pulled out a bunch of items and rushed to the campfire.

Momo placed a giant frying pan on top.

Before long, something started popping with a savory aroma wafting through the air.

“It’s ready!”

Momo came running over, even breaking a sweat.

Kancheo, Jinhyeok, and Ellia held out empty containers like baby birds waiting for food.

Delicious-looking popcorn began being distributed into the containers.

I quickly grabbed a handful and stuffed it into my mouth.

As expected from someone with skillful hands.

Not only was it perfectly popped, but the cheese seasoning was sprinkled just right, making the flavor excellent.

Crunch crunch crunch!!

Storm inhalation time began as Momo joined in.

While moving our hands non-stop, our gazes remained fixed straight ahead.

Kwaang!!

It was different from this peaceful place.

The Immortal Dark and the goblin Renia were fighting without giving an inch.

The blue light of ice and the purple light of the goblin mixed together, creating various colors.

“What are you doing, Dark! From there you should swish to the left! Duck down and then hook with a right uppercut! Swish hook swish hook, don’t you know?!”

Dark is fighting with chains, but a right uppercut?!

“What’s Renia doing not dodging! Are you going to become goblin shaved ice or whaaaat-pffft!”

Momo spat out the popcorn she was eating while speaking too passionately.

Whether that happened or not, she roughly wiped it off with her arm and was absorbed in giving advice again.

Watching this chaotic scene, Jinhyeok nodded.

Thank goodness.

They were far enough away that those two couldn’t hear.

But still, there’s no denying it.

Nothing is as entertaining as watching a fight.

“Are they still fighting?”

Seira, who had wiped off the blood and come over, approached.

I needed to take out another chair, but Momo, the bag owner, was absorbed in watching and giving advice.

There was no sign of her going into the warehouse.

“Sit here.”

I moved slightly to the side and patted the seat next to me.

Seira sat down naturally and opened her mouth.

“It’s cramped.”

“Sorry.”

She said it was cramped but didn’t get up.

Seira grabbed some popcorn and began watching the fight with more interest than anyone else.

After watching for a while, Seira smiled.

“As expected, mudslinging fights are entertaining.”

‘Huh?’

Jinhyeok looked at Seira.

In one way, he felt relieved.

Because she used the word mudslinging instead of some vulgar term.

But what an incredible mud-slinging insult.

Real mud would be very pleased to hear this.

“Hmm.”

Camilla, who blew out thick smoke, tilted her head.

“Strange. There are clearly many overlapping parts. But to say they’re exactly the same existence, something feels different.”

She looked at Renia, who was fighting earnestly.

Being skilled at detecting presences, Jinhyeok had also vaguely felt it when they first met.

That Renia’s aura was very similar to the Rakshasas.

But at the same time, he had been relieved.

Because the soul visible to his spiritual sight was just one – his own.

“No!!”

Momo cried out as if she had lost the world.

Looking to the side, the popcorn container was completely empty.

Why is it gone already? Just as I was drawing a question mark.

One hand dug into this container.

I looked up at Camilla.

“You said you didn’t like popcorn.”

“I tried it for the first time and it’s delicious.”

I learned recently.

The ancient being Camella Shirin.

She had an invisible unique trait.

The trait’s name was “Just One Bite.”

Whether eating ramen, jjajangmyeon, tomato soup, or popcorn, she initially says she won’t eat it, then later reaches in with chopsticks.

She doesn’t even eat just one bite.

If she finds it tasty, she inhales it more enthusiastically than the original owner.

“Captain, the popcorn container is empty.”

‘Ah?!’

It really was.

It had completely disappeared without a single crumb.

“Huh? Kancheo’s is gone too?”

“What are you talking about? I was eating it little by little, savoring… Eh?”

Kancheo’s mouth fell open.

When was it?

When had the full popcorn container been replaced with an empty one?

Crunch crunch crunch!

Intense inhaling sounds came from beside us.

Momo’s popcorn container, which should have been the first to run out, was full.

It seems she displayed overwhelming pickpocketing and pocket-stuffing skills today as well.

“What are you doing?!!”

Perhaps because she had made the popcorn for them.

They didn’t rush at Momo.

Instead, Kancheo leaped at Camilla, who had caused the problem by emptying Momo’s popcorn container.

“This Satan again!!”

Camilla and Kancheo mercilessly struck each other with a pipe and slingshot.

“Both of you are annoyingly weak.”

From the side came Seira’s harsh words as she enjoyed the mudslinging fight more than anyone.

Jinhyeok smiled as he looked at his friends.

Another perfectly peaceful day of climbing the Mythic Tower.

Now that a new friend had joined, it was time to leave.

[You have cleared the 13th Floor of the Mythic Tower!]

[You can enter the 14th Floor of the Mythic Tower, House of Goblins!]

[Exiting the Tower!]

The large bath house included as a community facility in the officetel.

It’s an incredibly high-value location with a panoramic view of Seoul’s night scenery.

Jinhyeok entered and thoroughly checked every corner of the bath house.

He had already surveyed it with presence detection, but one must never let their guard down.

“You can come out now.”

Dark, Renia, and Kancheo appeared one by one.

After quickly finishing their showers, they dove into the steaming hot bath.

“Ahhhhhhh.”

The warmth and drowsiness naturally drew out sighs of pleasure.

He realized once again.

Paradise isn’t far away.

“This is killer.”

“It’s killer indeed.”

Dark and Kancheo placed towels on their heads with practiced motions and leaned back.

Renia also seemed quite pleased, the corners of his mouth turning up.

“Captain.”

“Yeah?”

“Can I drink milk?”

“No. Kancheo, you always spill when you drink. This is a public facility that other people need to use too.”

“I see. I understand. Actually, drinking it after completely finishing the bath tastes like honey.”

Kancheo put the milk back and began swimming as usual.

Whether in snow or water, he’s a friend who loves to swim.

Meanwhile, Jinhyeok examined the faces of Renia and Dark.

As expected, fighting an Immortal is unfair.

Just looking at the surface, it seemed like Renia had been one-sidedly beaten up.

Sensing the gaze, Renia shrugged his shoulders.

“The fight itself was unfair. A body that won’t die no matter how much you beat it. But the feeling of pummeling wasn’t bad.”

Not to be outdone, Dark opened his mouth.

“I thought we’d have a refreshing fight, but it was unexpected. It felt like dealing with a little rat.”

“There’s something cowardly about him. Not acknowledging his own slowness.”

Sparks flew between the two once again.

Still, it’s fortunate.

At least they distinguish between places where fighting is okay and where it’s not.

If they fought here, the officetel would collapse.

“Renia, I have a question.”

“Ask away.”

“It’s not exactly the same, but your aura is similar to the Rakshasas. Why is that?”

Renia looked at Jinhyeok with an expression that said ‘you ask about everything.’

“Well, because Rakshasas are also goblins?”

“What?!”

“To be precise, they were goblins. Now they’re not anymore.”

“Is the distinguishing factor the number of souls?”

“Oh?”

Renia made an interested expression.

“Can master see that? But your eye color is different from earlier.”

“Oh, that.”

[Spirit Eye]

His pupils turned blue, emitting a blue aura.

A smile formed on Renia’s lips.

These eyes.

This strange feeling as if they could see through anything.

“As master said, what distinguishes goblins from Rakshasas is the number of souls. And having souls other than one’s own inside means…”

Renia covered his mouth with his hand.

“They’ve been eaten. That many of them.”

He swallowed dry saliva.

The Third Evil Kalik he met at the fortress.

Even that guy had an absurd number of souls.

That means he had devoured that many lives.

“A taboo that goblins must never break. Rakshasas are those who broke that taboo in their craving for power. Trash who don’t think about training themselves directly and only rack their brains on how to become strong easily. You can think of Rakshasas as roughly a gathering place for such trash.”

Tremendous hostility revealed in every word.

It wasn’t for nothing that he tore apart Rakshasas as soon as he awakened.

“Ah.”

Renia looked at Jinhyeok as if something had occurred to him.

“Was it master who caught Kalik?”

The Third Evil Kalik.

Before being sealed, that one had guarded the fortress.

“Yeah. He was saying something about being the third strongest.”

Watching Jinhyeok answer nonchalantly, Renia let out a hollow laugh.

He hadn’t seen wrong.

Master is indeed strong.

After that, Jinhyeok asked a couple more things.

The story connecting goblins, Rakshasas, and Renia’s sealing was quite long, so he passed on it for now.

He decided to learn about this gradually.

Instead, he chose one of the things he was most curious about as his next question.

“Have you ever fought a black dragon?”

“Huh. You know about that too? What was it again.”

Renia closed his eyes and tilted his head, trying to recall something.

“The name was definitely Du… Dr…”

“Drakan?”

“Oh, that was the name. He was attacking nearby villages, so I beat him up a bit.”

He beat up a black dragon ‘a bit.’ This friend operates on a completely different concept.

“I had fun beating him up back then, but I can’t do it now. My strength hasn’t returned yet.”

Renia clenched and unclenched his fists a couple of times.

He didn’t seem impatient or anything.

He could just train again.

“Do you happen to have any related traces? Like an eyeball or ear that fell off from him.”

Dark and Renia simultaneously looked at Jinhyeok.

Could those things normally be called traces? No, do dragons even have ears that could fall off in the first place?

“Traces… Ah, I picked up a few scales.”

“Ooh.”

Jinhyeok’s eyes sparkled.

This is exactly it.

With just the scales, the Yodel Compass would take care of finding the rest.

“Unfortunately, I don’t have them with me right now. I’m sure I left them at home.”

“That’s fine. The next floor is a goblin house. It’s probably where Renia used to live.”

“That’s fortunate then.”

Renia splashed water on his face.

He didn’t bother asking how they could get to his house.

It seems master is more versatile than he thought.

If he started asking about everything one by one, there would be no end.

By the way.

Eopu eopu eopu!!

What the heck is that thing.

Kancheo, the Yodel Ranger unit commander, swimming freely across the great bath.

Watching him makes me think a lot.

The Yodel race I’m seeing for the first time.

From their way of speaking to their actions, there’s nothing ordinary about them anywhere.

He’s so fluffy that if I put him on my stomach, I’d probably sleep well.

“Keueoeoeo.”

Jinhyeok stretched once more and leaned his back against the wall.

This pleasant drowsiness.

It would be perfect to take a nap after bathing.

‘Can’t do that.’

I have things to do.

Jinhyeok shifts his gaze to the system window.

Two True-grade blank cards are carefully stored there.

Now that Renia, who I’ve been waiting for, has joined us, there’s no need to delay any longer.

I plan to use them right away as soon as I return home.

An expectant smile spread across Jinhyeok’s face.

What should I learn that would make people talk about how well I learned it?
