Only I Have Two Towers Episode 192
Entrance
I lifted my head.
Crunch crunch! Munch munch!
A spectacular eating show was in progress.
Friends who appeared as soon as the in-flight meals were set and the crew members left.
They must have been very hungry.
“The lobster is incredibly delicious!”
“Absolutely! This was just caught!”
“Do they catch lobsters in the offshore waters here too?”
“What does that matter, granny! What’s important is that the meat is plump and firm! I want to dive into the sea!”
“That’s true. Our raccoon is finally saying something sensible for once.”
Ellia raised her claw.
“Sensible my ass!!”
Smack!
“What are you doing at the dinner table?!”
Kancheo jumped onto the table.
With lobster meat stuck to his pointed ears.
‘They really get along well.’
I nodded and turned my eyes to the Yodel Compass.
8,000 kilometers.
It’s a bit confusing.
At the end of this number, there might be a black dragon.
Should I be relieved that we at least have a destination?
“Seira.”
“Hmm?”
Seira escaped from the chaos and sat down next to Jinhyeok.
“What’s wrong?”
“You have lobster innards on your mouth.”
“Oh no.”
“You ate well.”
“It was the best.”
Seira wiped it off with a handkerchief and looked at Jinhyeok as if nothing had happened.
“We’ll have to go to be sure, but there might be a black dragon where we’re heading. We can just beat it up like usual, right?”
I’m not asking Seira this for no reason.
On the way here, Renia had said.
That the black dragon’s defense is ridiculously tough.
He said that in our party, Seira would be the only one who could deal meaningful damage.
“I don’t think we’ll lose. It just won’t be easy. Swords and dragons have never had good compatibility since ancient times. Especially the harder the scales, the more so.”
Seira threw the black dragon’s scale into the air.
Then she drew her sword and swung it.
With a clanging sound, the scale flew to the opposite side of the seats.
“It won’t cut. Even though it’s a scale that fell off long ago.”
“Would it be harder if it were still attached?”
“It would be. There would be protective magic cast on it naturally. Maybe the dokkaebi’s attacks would work better than mine.”
Seira looked at Renia.
“A martial artist who has reached a certain level can deal fatal damage without even breaking armor.”
“Right. The black dragon got beaten up by Renia and ran away. Of course, that was when Renia’s level was much higher than now.”
Jinhyeok leaned back against the sofa.
Last time with the Imugi, we exploited its weak point and caught it easily.
But this black dragon likely won’t allow that.
I should be tense.
Seira, who had been staring intently at Jinhyeok, spoke up.
“Master, for someone who’s worried, you look quite calm.”
“Really? Maybe it’s because I can’t imagine it.”
I slowly looked around at my friends.
“I just don’t think we can lose.”
“One should never be careless. But.”
Seira smiled.
“I agree. These are beings far from defeat to begin with. Since such individuals have gathered in one place, even more so. And don’t worry. As long as Master wants the black dragon’s death, I will definitely bring it down. It doesn’t matter how thick the scales are. I’ll just keep cutting until they’re cut through.”
I met Seira’s eyes.
How can she be so reliable?
Truly my master, my knight.
I gave her double thumbs up with sparkling eyes.
“Ahem.”
Did she think she was acting too cool?
Seira cleared her throat and turned her head away.
Ding!
I checked the message that arrived.
It’s from lawyer Yun Gyu-ri.
The scammers have been handed over to the police, and this time the evidence is solid so they won’t be able to escape.
However, she says she couldn’t implicate Ryu Seung-gwon.
It seems Jaeung Construction pulled some strings.
Well, I gave him a proper beating, so he’ll stay quiet for a while.
Ring ring ring.
This time the phone is ringing.
“Yes, Seo-hee.”
# Suyeon and I arrived at Seo Panjyo. Was there a war here? It’s chaos.
“Haha… There were some various incidents.”
Jinhyeok had been pondering for a while about what style to use for the remodeling.
Then he came to a realization.
He knew too little about interior design, making his pondering terribly inefficient.
So he asked for help from the two people who had recently remodeled the Yeongsanghoe building.
When he said he was clueless about interior design, Jin Seo-hee and Yoo Su-yeon rolled up their sleeves, saying they’d go and do it themselves.
# What’s the budget limit you mentioned?
“7 billion?”
# Jinhyeok, you’re really rich.
# Really! How can you be the only one getting rich!
Yoo Su-yeon’s voice could be heard from the other end.
“I’m sorry for bothering you both when you’re busy with association work.”
# Sorry? I’m so excited right now.
“What?”
# Seriously. A remodeling project where I can freely choose within 7 billion? This is precious. It’s like using cheat codes in The Sims to decorate a house.
“Please spend as much as you want.”
# You’re being especially generous today.
I have to be.
This is money that should have gone toward the house price originally.
Money that was unexpectedly refunded 100 percent.
Manshin Camilla had said so.
Free money should be spent quickly.
“Then please take care of us!”
After finishing the phone call with repeated bows, he drew a smile.
I should buy lots of gifts when I go back.
“Captain.”
“Hm? Wow.”
He burst into admiration.
Kancheo had lobster meat and shells stuck all over his fur.
One of his perked ears was even caught in a claw.
“You’ve been through a lot.”
“Yes indeed. I think I need a shower.”
“There are towels over there.”
“It’ll take a while. I need to soak thoroughly.”
“There’s a bathtub too, so take your time.”
“Understood.”
Kancheo grabbed a towel and walked toward the shower room.
If Kancheo was in that state, what about Ellia?
“Master!! Granny is dead!!”
“She’s not dead, little chubby one. She’s just exhausted.”
Ellia had collapsed sprawled on the ground.
Jinhyeok approached and bent down.
“Ugh.”
About a dozen claws stuck in her hair.
She had been thoroughly beaten up.
“Ellia, you should shower too. The other side is empty.”
“I think I should. My whole body smells like lobster, doesn’t it?”
“Momo, go wash up with her. Help remove the claws from Ellia’s hair.”
This couldn’t be entrusted to just anyone.
One wrong move and all her hair would be torn out.
Someone with gentle hands needed to do it.
“Okay! I was going to wash up too!”
Momo was somehow a mess despite not even fighting.
That must mean she ate deliciously, right?
He returned to his seat and looked out the window.
A black dragon.
A strange feeling of being both scared and eager to meet it.
Let’s go quickly for now.
Jaeung Construction Headquarters CEO’s Office.
“Ha!”
Chairman Ryu Jin-su burst into incredulous laughter.
“I knew a day like this would come. Running around barking like a dog that needs to shit, tsk tsk tsk.”
Ryu Seung-gwon, with bandages wrapped around his face, hung his head.
His mouth was so messed up he could barely even say sorry.
# Breaking news. The jeonse fraud that heated up the nation since last year has been resolved. All three masterminds who evaded the law with clever methods have been arrested, and the damage amount has been safely returned to the victims. This is the only resolved case among South Korea’s real estate-related incidents, drawing attention from various investigative agencies.
“Didn’t I tell you not to hang around with low-quality bastards? You kept hanging out with them drinking, and this time you almost got properly entangled.”
“I’m, I’m sorry.”
Ryu Jin-su stood up and walked toward Ryu Seung-gwon.
And stopped right in front of him.
Ryu Seung-gwon’s body began to tremble.
“Seung-gwon.”
“Yes, yes.”
“You’re trash that should already be rotting in prison. You’ve only been able to avoid it until now because you were born with a silver spoon. But why can’t you get your act together?”
Ryu Jin-su let out a deep sigh and nudged Ryu Seung-gwon’s shin with his toe.
“I thought about cutting off your legs. So you could never run around again. But do you know why I left them alone? Because at least you didn’t go around getting beaten up as the heir of Jaeung Construction. This is a position where you must constantly trample on someone to climb up. I thought you were at least useful in that regard. But.”
Ryu Jin-su grabbed Ryu Seung-gwon’s hair.
“You got destroyed by some bastard from who knows where? Even sold all your teeth?”
“I’m sorry…”
“You pathetic bastard. You’re a disgrace to the Ryu family.”
Ryu Jin-su let go and turned around.
Ryu Seung-gwon urgently opened his mouth.
At this rate, he might really be abandoned.
Ryu Jin-su was the type of person who would do exactly that.
“I, I’ll resolve it! I’ll go destroy him! I was just careless! If we fight again, I can win!”
“You still don’t know your place. An irredeemable bastard. Stay quiet until things calm down. If you’re a human being and not a dog, you’ll understand this time. Just quietly climb the tower.”
“Then, then what about that bastard…”
“Wait. When the time comes, I’ll set the stage myself.”
Ryu Jin-su stood in front of the large window.
A spot overlooking the Seoul night view at a glance.
This position isn’t something just anyone can reach.
It’s not a position that can be maintained by just staying still either.
Only by constantly fighting and trampling can one maintain this height.
‘How dare he.’
His face contorted.
It was Ryu Seung-gwon who got beaten and trampled.
But the one who hit him must have known that Ryu Seung-gwon was Jaeung Construction’s successor.
Since he did it knowing that, he would have to pay the price.
The price for not fearing Jaeung Construction.
66th Floor of the Tower of Despair.
He threw a punch at the last remaining Ice Golem.
The Ice Golem shattered into pieces with a refreshing bursting sound.
Jinhyeok looked down at his fist.
‘Whoa.’
It was an amazing sensation.
In the past, he was just strong, but swinging fists and kicking felt quite awkward.
Not anymore.
It flowed as smoothly and naturally as water.
Optimized movements came to mind moment by moment, of course.
Indeed, the Dokkaebi Killing Fist!
“Too much force is going in. The motion when stomping down is too big too. If the enemy had been strong, you would have become one-legged.”
Demon Renyah’s cold evaluation followed.
He quickly wiped away his excited expression and offered a martial arts bow.
“Yes, Master! I’ll keep it in mind!”
“Good that you understand right away. If you had been stubborn, I was going to start endurance training immediately.”
He swallowed dry saliva.
Endurance training written but read as beating.
He almost fell asleep as a rag.
Thud thud thud thud thud thud.
Something rapidly approaching through the snow.
Before long.
With a pop! sound, Snow Yodel Kancheo appeared.
Kancheo shook his body left and right to shake off the snow, then took a saluting posture.
“Attention! Yodel Rangers Unit Commander Kancheo! I have something to report!”
“Oh? What is it?”
“There’s a strange-looking door near the cliff!”
Jinhyeok’s eyes sparkled.
A door in the middle of the snowy plains where all you could see were yetis, ice golems, and snow?
He pulled out the key to Wonderland from his bag.
Could this possibly be…?
