Only I Have Two Towers Episode 198

Memories of the Soul

[Entering the 15th Floor of the Tower of Myth, the city swept by disaster.]

“Wo… w.”

There was a good reason it had such a name.

A city completely reduced to ashes.

All that could be seen were fragments of shattered building debris and blackened piles of ash.

“Looks like a nuclear bomb was dropped.”

“Is this what happens when you get hit by a nuke?”

“Yeah. The entire surrounding area gets completely blown away.”

Kancheo’s eyes sparkled.

“That’s awesome. I’m going to make a nuke later.”

I had tried to inform him of its cruel destructiveness.

But he got fixated on something else entirely.

“What are these footprints!!”

I ran over to Momo who was shouting.

Footprints larger than a decent-sized car.

They were exactly the same as what we saw in Frostheim before.

No wait, they seemed to have gotten even bigger?

In any case, they must be the Black Dragon Drachan’s footprints.

“So it was swept away by Drachan.”

Judging by the distribution of debris, it must have been quite a large city.

And yet it ended up in this state.

I realized once again just how dangerous a creature Drachan was.

I looked at Demon Renyah with eyes filled with awe and respect.

How could I possibly beat up such a thing to make it scared enough to run away?

“First, Momo will light a campfire!”

She must have been very hungry.

Momo ran to one side and started setting up firewood.

She was making it so big that her determination to grill all the lobsters at once was evident.

“Hmm.”

Camilla let out a contemplative sound as she stared at a particular spot.

Jinhyeok opened his spiritual sight and turned his gaze in that direction.

Then things that weren’t visible before began to appear.

Thousands of souls wandering around the vicinity of the city.

Most of them had a very red and murky light.

“They’re filled with resentment. They were trampled by an irresistible disaster.”

“We should comfort them, right? We can’t just leave them wandering around forever.”

Camilla smiled.

As expected, our master is kind.

“I agree. It’s been a while since I’ve performed a ritual. I’ll comfort them with a soul-soothing ritual and guide them with a soul-guiding ritual. Hey, Odongtongi.”

She was too far away for her voice to reach.

And she was busy grilling lobsters too.

Camilla took a deep breath.

“Odongtongi!!”

I stared at Camilla intently.

At first she had the image of a calm lake, but she’d changed a lot since coming here.

Was it because of little Satan Kancheo?

“Why are you calling me!!”

But this time it reached her properly.

Momo jumped up with soot smeared on her face.

“Please bring some lobsters.”

“But Momo needs to eat these!”

“I don’t need many. I just need enough to set up the ritual for the souls who met their end unjustly.”

“Got it!”

Momo bent down and scooped the lobsters into a bundle.

She ran over and poured out the lobsters with a clatter.

“I said just a little would be fine.”

“It’s for the souls, so I should give them a lot! Momo can eat pork instead!”

Camilla smiled and patted Odongtongi’s cheek.

All my friends are consistently kind.

On top of that, Momo pulled out plenty of fresh fruits and meat from the infinite warehouse.

When did she stockpile all of this?

Before long, a lavish ritual table was set up.

As expected, she’s a friend with skillful hands.

Her table-setting skills are also extraordinary.

“What a luxurious ritual table.”

Camilla smiled and lightly waved her hand.

Her outfit changed in an instant.

The flowing garment looked like a fairy’s dress.

“Camilla is so pretty!”

Momo looked at her with a “wow!” expression on her face.

The friends who had been scattered around also gathered one by one.

Ding!

The sound of a bell echoed through the dark space.

Camilla began to dance in rhythm with the haunting resonance.

“Souls, calm your anger. Regain your peace. Rage will only gnaw at your souls, so be at peace.”

Camilla spoke to the souls in rhythm with the melody.

I could tell because I had spiritual sight.

The souls were responding.

As the dance and resonance continued, the red aura gradually faded.

Before long, a pure white light settled in.

“I will draw you a path, so flow along it. That place will become your new resting place.”

The wandering souls gathered together.

A group of souls swirling round and round above Camilla’s head.

“It’s a mysterious energy.”

It seems the friends can vaguely sense it too.

Even though no one told them, they’re all looking up in one direction.

“Master, what does this look like?”

“It’s incredibly beautiful. It feels like thousands of stars swirling around.”

Seira smiled.

Despite my limited vocabulary, I seemed to have painted quite a picture.

Ding!

[The wandering souls have found their way through Manshin’s ritual!]

[The souls are flowing along the path!]

“Wow.”

It was a beautiful sight that naturally drew gasps of admiration.

This continued for quite a while.

Camilla, who had stopped dancing, tilted her head.

For some reason, one soul wasn’t leaving and kept circling around.

“You have something to say. Go ahead.”

A soul descending to the ground.

It sparkled briefly before transforming into human form.

[This is the soul of a warrior who fought against the Black Dragon Drachan until the very end!]

[The soul wishes to share its memories!]

As he nodded, a cluster of light enveloped Jinhyeok’s group.

A peaceful afternoon with warm sunlight streaming down.

Disaster came without warning.

A massive shadow cast across the sky.

The city was quickly consumed by chaos.

As if waiting for this moment, the black dragon began its attack.

“They fought back.”

The city did not meet its end cowering in fear.

Warriors, mages, and archers desperately fought against the black dragon to buy time for people to escape.

Watching the brutal battle that followed, Jinhyeok swallowed dryly.

I have to catch something like that?

He looked at Renia again, wanting to show his respect once more.

“Something’s different.”

“Huh?”

“When I beat it up, it wasn’t quite that big.”

Even then it was mountain-sized!?

Renia pointed toward the rampaging black dragon.

“I think it was about this big.”

There wasn’t much difference.

It just felt slightly bigger.

Must have been in its growth phase.

“It seems it wasn’t fully grown yet.”

“Kek!”

Renia’s face instantly turned cold.

“Did you just smirk while looking at me?”

“You’re quite perceptive.”

“Follow me.”

“That’s what I was hoping for.”

Two people breaking away from the group.

Friendly competition is always right.

Friendly competition… right?

Shaking his head, Jinhyeok focused on the battle before him.

There was no way they showed him this without reason.

There must be something.

After watching intently for a while.

Jinhyeok’s eyes widened.

If he hadn’t seen wrong, the black dragon had momentarily lost its balance.

“Seira, did you see that?”

“It seems to be under the left wing. We should watch a bit more.”

A momentary flinch that only two people with motion detection could catch.

It was the same afterward.

Every time an attack was directed at that area, Drachan flinched excessively.

As a result, it got hit by attacks it could have easily dodged.

Something flashed through his mind.

He turned around.

Dark and Renia were making thunderous sounds as they fought.

“Reniaaaa!!”

“You called?”

When he called out loudly, Renia appeared nearby.

Renia walked over and stood beside him as if nothing had happened.

“The place where you said the scales came off after you beat it up intensively. Is it around there?”

After looking for a moment, Renia nodded.

“Seems right. When I hit it all over, it didn’t seem to work, so I focused on under the wing, near the heart.”

Could this be?

Jinhyeok rubbed his chin at the emerging possibility.

Renia, who had been watching the fight, also realized something and smiled.

“That dragon bastard. It can’t regenerate its scales.”

Now it makes some sense.

The reason Drachan fled even though it wasn’t incapacitated when fighting Renia.

It had judged the situation as dangerous.

Because the place where the scales came off happened to be near the most important dragon heart.

“Good, good.”

Jinhyeok smiled.

Found it.

The key to subjugation.

[You have cleared the 15th Floor of the Tower of Myth!]

[Entry condition for 16th Floor of Tower of Myth: Clear 75th Floor of Tower of Despair]

The 15th Floor of the Tower of Myth was cleared as the soul’s memory ended.

At first, he had been puzzled.

Why bring them to such a ruined city?

But there had been an unexpectedly great harvest.

It was a rewarding climb since they had sent the wandering souls to where they needed to go.

“Momo’s hands are burning!!!”

Momo threw away the steaming lobster.

“I told you to let it cool down first.”

“I couldn’t help it because I wanted to eat it quickly! The lobsters are disappearing like snow melting!”

That’s certainly true.

Chomp chomp chomp chomp!!

Who knew they’d love lobster this much.

Seira, Dark, Ellia – everyone was absorbed in the lobsters.

Crack! Slurp! Crack! Slurp!

Especially Demon Renyah’s absorption speed was incredible.

Renia wasn’t peeling the shells but cracking them to extract the meat.

Quite a different stance from yesterday.

When Renia first encountered lobster, he had grimaced.

Of course, he said it was disgusting and refused to eat it.

Jinhyeok had put a large piece of claw meat into Renia’s mouth.

That’s when it started.

Renia began massacring lobsters.

‘The taste really hit the spot.’

While nodding his head.

“Kyaaaa! My hands are getting cooked!”

Momo’s scream came again.

Momo wouldn’t even look at gloves, saying they dulled her dexterity.

If left like this, Momo’s hands would become barbecue.

“Momo. Open your mouth.”

“Yeah!”

“Lobster coming in.”

I had already observed Master Renia’s know-how.

I cracked open the lobster shell fresh from the campfire, extracted the meat, and put it into Momo’s mouth.

Chomp chomp chomp!

The lobster disappeared in an instant.

I swallowed my saliva.

That’s Dyson vacuum cleaner-level suction power.

I need to work harder to keep up with that speed.

Crack! Pop! Crack!

“Waaahhh!”

Crack! Pop! Crack!

“Waahh!”

It was almost like a factory conveyor belt process.

The conveyor belt stopped only after all the prepared lobsters were gone.

“I’m completely full!”

Momo rolled over with her now plump belly facing the sky.

Momo gave Jinhyeok a chubby thumbs up.

Jinhyeok, wiping sweat from his forehead, responded with a thumbs up as well.

It was a tough fight, but rewarding.

It was a good match. Lobster.

I flopped down on my back.

Repetitive labor really isn’t easy.

Even though I didn’t do much, I feel mentally and physically exhausted.

I firmly resolve to only eat lobster on private jets from now on.

Had about a minute passed since I lay down like that?

Swoosh.

Seira’s face appears in my field of vision.

I had momentarily forgotten while putting all my effort into cracking lobsters.

Today’s most important schedule.

“Master.”

“Mmm.”

“You’ve already done your warm-up exercises.”

“Completely. Seira, there’s lobster shell in your hair.”

“Ah.”

Seira quickly removes it.

Not missing that opportunity, I rest with all my might.

Seira returned and extended her hand.

“Are you mentally prepared?”

“Completely ready.”

I took her hand and got up.

Then I drew my sword.

It’s time to move forward.
