Only I Have Two Towers Episode 194
King of Wonderland
“Hey rabbit!”
“Hiiiek!”
“What are you so surprised about? I didn’t do anything. Are you guiding us properly? The castle keeps getting farther away.”
“Well… there’s an order to things…”
Click!
A minigun aimed at Tootoo’s head.
Another “hiiiek” sound bursts out.
“Your tone sounded somewhat rebellious. Are you harboring treasonous thoughts? By the way, Grandpa Toto who escaped from Yodel Forest too… Huh? Come to think of it, your names are almost identical. This one’s a traitor.”
“N-no! I’m really going the right way! Look!”
Tootoo pointed straight ahead.
A single house sitting alone in the center of the forest.
“Just wait right there. If you’re lying, it’s straight to rabbit roast.”
Kancheo quickly ran over and delivered a drop kick to the door.
His form was perfect, probably from doing it so many times.
The door flew away with a cracking sound.
An old woman beyond it looked up.
“A guest after such a long time. Please sit down.”
She didn’t seem to mind that the door was completely destroyed.
The old woman guided Jinhyeok’s group to a spacious table.
“You have three chances.”
Five cards were laid out on the table.
“One of these cards has a diamond embedded in it. I’ll show you once and then shuffle them, so find it.”
Ding!
[Stage 3: Find the card with the jewel!]
# You must find it within the given chances!
# The cards will only be shown face-up once.
# After that, the cards will be shuffled, so don’t miss it!
“Oho.”
Jinhyeok rubbed his chin.
It was similar to a memory test.
But still, five cards with three chances.
That’s pretty generous, isn’t it?
“Now I’ll show you.”
When the old woman waved her hand, the cards opened up.
“It’s on the third card! Momo totally memorized it!”
While Jinhyeok was giving a thumbs up.
Tootoo, who had been standing behind them, spoke up.
“You won’t find it.”
He looked back.
Unlike before the game started, his expression had become quite arrogant.
“The game ends here. Oh right! You did say goodbye to your original world, didn’t you? You won’t be able to return now. You’ll be trapped here forever, playing cymbals like that monkey doll you saw earlier! Toohahaha!”
No time was given to respond.
The five cards floated up into the air.
When the old woman waved her hand, the number of cards began to increase.
From five to ten, from ten to twenty, from twenty to forty.
After repeating this a dozen more times, the entire field of vision was filled with cards.
“Hehehe. No one has ever gotten it right so far.”
The old woman hummed and looked at Kancheo.
“You’d be very tender if roasted. I’ll give the rest to the king, but I’ll keep you for myself.”
“Captain. Captain.”
He leaned toward Kancheo.
“I don’t understand why old ladies are so fearless.”
“The grandmother in front of us certainly is.”
“I think some punishment is needed.”
“Let’s punish her after we find the card.”
“Understood.”
After finishing their secret conversation, he straightened up again.
“Should I just choose?”
“By all means.”
The old woman drew a leisurely smile.
How could anyone possibly find it among all these cards?
Unless the goddess of luck had blessed them, it would be absolutely impossible…?
The old woman frowned.
The plump little one’s eyes turned golden.
Her hand reached out, and the old woman’s pupils dilated.
It reached precisely toward the card with the jewel embedded in it.
‘No way.’
She carefully moved her hand.
She had to change the card’s position.
Swish.
“!?”
The cool sensation of metal touching her wrist.
“There’s a rule like this, I heard. If you cheat, your whole hand gets cut off.”
Jinhyeok looked back and forth between Seira and Kancheo.
The movie they watched together last time must have been a gambling movie.
“Found it!”
Momo’s golden eyes that could see through the value of everything.
She didn’t even need all three chances.
Once was enough.
[You found the card! The third game is cleared!]
[When you reach the King of Wonderland, the final game will begin!]
Hundreds of cards fell down with a rustling sound.
The old woman’s head dropped.
Unbelievable.
To lose so helplessly?
“I have to take this!”
Regardless of whether she was despairing beside her.
Momo efficiently removed the jewel from the card and smiled brightly.
Having achieved their goal, Jinhyeok and his group immediately left the house.
Kancheo, who remained last, placed a lump of clay on the table.
“This is punishment for trying to roast me. Get nice and golden brown.”
Kancheo finished speaking and left the house.
‘What is he talking about.’
The old woman frowned at the incomprehensible words.
It felt humiliating to be completely ignored, but she didn’t mind too much.
They’d lose to the king anyway and she’d see them again.
Looking forward to that time, she leaned back in her chair.
And then.
A flash of light blazed before their eyes.
Whoooooooosh!!
Jinhyeok’s group turned around.
It flew away quite spectacularly.
The entire house and all.
Tremble tremble tremble tremble tremble tremble.
Tootoo, who had been biting his nails, began trembling fearfully.
To break through the witch’s game so simply like this.
Something was going wrong.
Kwak!
When did she get behind him?
Momo snatched Tootoo’s ear.
“Got him!”
“Hold tight! What did you say earlier! I knew you were harboring treason!”
Kancheo, who had rushed over, delivered a drop kick to Tootoo’s belly.
“Kuhek!”
“Where! Where! Treason!”
“Beat him! Beat him more! So he can’t make a peep!”
“A peep is the sound a mouse makes! Momo!”
“Then beat him so he can’t make any sound! Make him eat dirt too!!”
“Yes ma’am!”
Kancheo made him eat a handful of dirt then took out his slingshot to beat him.
The Kanmo duo only worked well together when gang-beating someone.
Normally he would have stopped them by now.
‘How dare you plot treason!?’
He let them beat him a little more.
By the way, a king who rules Wonderland.
What kind of guy could that be?
After the brutal beating time ended.
Tootoo, now in tatters, began walking.
He made a firm resolution in his heart.
Let’s behave until we reach the castle.
If he got beaten like this one more time, he’d really die.
“Tootoo.”
“Y-yes!?”
“What does the king of Wonderland do?”
“Well… he’s a king?”
Click!
“Hiiiek!”
“Do you want to die? Answer the Captain’s question properly and sincerely. Start with the king’s name.”
“R-Romanack! It’s Romanack!”
Jinhyeok tilted his head.
Why does this name sound so familiar?
It felt like he’d heard it somewhere. Less than 10 seconds after thinking that, it came to him.
He stopped walking and opened his bag.
The Soul Harvester’s crafting recipe came out in his hand.
He checked the materials that were still grayed out because he hadn’t obtained them yet.
# Romanack’s flint, forged for a thousand years.
“Have you ever seen a stone that looks like this?”
He showed the flint photo he had saved on his phone.
“It’s an ugly stone.”
Whack!
“Who asked you to evaluate its appearance! Focus and look!”
Tootoo, who got hit on the back of his head, wiped away tears.
Tootoo focused on the photo, afraid another hit might come flying.
“Huh? This is somehow…”
“One, two. Don’t drag it out. One, two!”
“That! That!”
Startled, Tootoo pointed somewhere.
The King’s Castle had gotten close before they knew it.
“It’s similar to the stone used when building the top of the castle!”
Now that he heard it and looked, only the top had a strangely different texture.
He rubbed his chin.
A smile spread across his lips.
Well, well, maybe there would be an unexpected harvest?
Ding!
[You have arrived at the castle of Romanack, King of Wonderland!]
[Romanack welcomes his guests!]
[The King’s Orchestra appears!]
Creaking sounds came from all directions.
Animal dolls rising up with various instruments from accordions to flutes and trumpets.
Just like the monkey earlier, each one was tremendously large.
[The board boundary appears!]
Light beams shot from the castle formed a grid-like board.
A giant square of light surrounding Jinhyeok’s group.
It felt like standing on a chessboard.
[Final Chapter: The path toward the King of Wonderland begins!]
[In Wonderland, King Romanack’s power is absolute!]
[Only the king can make the rules!]
[Romanack’s rules descend upon the path toward the king!]
[Only heroes who have endured terrible trials of frustration and pain can have an audience with the king!]
[A trial will be given each time you pass over the grid!]
[The orchestra begins to play!]
[The orchestra’s power descends into each square!]
“Yodel Ranger Vice-Captain Kancheo! I will carry out reconnaissance dutyyyyy…”
As soon as he stepped into the next grid square, Kancheo collapsed with a thud.
Kancheooooo!”
He quickly ran out to bring Kancheo back.
Ding!
[The terrible curse of sloth descends! All strength drains from your body!]
He brought the limp Kancheo back to the original square.
Perk!
Kancheo immediately came back to life, perhaps because the debuff disappeared.
Jinhyeok, who had been relieved, stood up.
He roughly understood what kind of system this was.
It was time for Gimi Sanggung to step forward.
“I’ll go alone and come back.”
“Understood. I’ll wait until you call.”
He gave a thumbs up then walked toward the grid.
And, had the beating been insufficient?
Tootoo, who was watching, had his lips curl up once again.
How foolish.
It seems he didn’t notice even after stepping on the grid just now.
That grid of light is by no means ordinary.
The moment the orchestra’s performance takes hold, terrible curses begin to run rampant.
There are hundreds of grids that must be stepped on to reach the king.
By the time he arrives, his body will already have turned into a handful of ash.
Step.
As he stepped on the grid, the message he had just seen came to mind again.
[A terrible curse of sloth takes hold!]
He took a step toward the next grid.
[A curse of corrosion takes hold! Your fingertips begin to rot!]
[A curse of sleep takes hold! Irresistible drowsiness washes over you!]
[A curse of blindness takes hold! You can no longer see ahead!]
.
.
.
Another line of message that appeared paired with these.
[All Status Abnormality Resistance SSS+ activates! You are immune to curses!]
[All Status Abnormality Resistance SSS+ activates! You are immune to curses!]
Jinhyeok drew a smile.
Yeah, not working.
What would it matter what kind of curse it is.
If it doesn’t affect me, that’s the end of it.
By the way, that king bastard is disgustingly petty.
Retreating removes the debuffs, but advancing stacks them.
It’s practically the same as completely blocking the possibility of reaching the king.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
With each step he took, the orchestra’s performance became more intense.
The intensity of the curses grew stronger accordingly, but it was meaningless.
Walking leisurely like that, he arrived at the top of the castle.
Romanack, the King of Wonderland, furrowed his brow.
Countless question marks were drawn.
How did he get here? No, how is he still standing? Hundreds of curses should have stacked up?
“Hello there.”
Jinhyeok casually offered a greeting.
“And.”
He drew out Salamanca.
“Goodbye.”
“!?”
Any reaction was impossible.
Just as Jinhyeok’s figure seemed to disappear from sight.
Swooooosh.
A line drawn by his aura was carved straight and long.
