Only I Have Two Towers Episode 205
On the Ship Deck
Silence fell over the ship’s restaurant.
The friction and explosive sounds had also ceased.
All that could be heard were someone’s rough breathing and groans of endured pain.
‘Damn it all.’
The old man gritted his teeth.
The old man who had shouted to focus fire on Balikits first.
As rumored, Balikits’ combat power was shocking.
Scissors that cut through anything they touched and acrobatic movements that rarely allowed hits.
Even though less than 10 minutes had passed, twenty lives had been snuffed out.
Even so, they didn’t give up the fight.
After all, Balikits was just one person.
They judged there would be a chance of victory if they dragged it into a prolonged battle.
But all these judgments crumbled in an instant.
The moment another Balikits appeared, whom they thought had surely died after jumping into the sea.
More precisely, the moment that Balikits picked up the fallen sword.
‘Who would have thought he was a swordsman.’
It was truly instantaneous.
The man who lowered his stance as soon as he picked up the sword.
That was all the old man’s eyes had captured.
The next moment, all personnel who had been approaching were rolling on the ground.
The old man had also instinctively pulled back his feet, but a deep wound had formed on his side.
“I’m giving up.”
“Me too.”
“I surrender too.”
The mercenaries who had been confronting them put down their weapons one by one.
They still had numerical superiority, but they simply couldn’t envision it.
A scenario where they could simultaneously take down those monsters.
“Balikits is 1st place. Let’s have them take what they want first.”
“It was originally a fight to determine hierarchy, wasn’t it? Too many people died, but well, they brought it on themselves. Anyone have complaints?”
The mercenaries shrugged their shoulders.
Who would dare disagree?
They’d die if they did.
Of course, just one person.
The old man was in trouble.
‘Damn it.’
He slowly stepped back toward the railing.
The old man who had suggested dealing with Balikits first.
This was dangerous as things stood…?
The moment he turned toward the railing, dark blue mist appeared.
“You have to die, don’t you?”
That was the last.
The words the old man heard.
The mercenaries clicked their tongues and turned their heads.
Not one of them raised an objection.
It was a justified execution according to this world’s rules.
Step. Step. Step.
Wiping the blood that had splattered near her eyes, she walked toward Jinhyeok.
The closer she got, the more Roche’s lips curved upward.
Other humans didn’t enter her vision.
Right now, only one person filled her sight completely: Yoo Jin-hyeok.
The first meeting and approach at the hotel.
It hadn’t been an action derived from complex thoughts.
It was simply an action driven by instinctive attraction.
-I’m Roche.
She had told him her real name, which she’d never revealed to anyone.
To draw his interest, she had even proposed joining the expedition ship.
The mission Russia had given Balikits was eliminating competitors and monopolizing what Iceland had hidden.
Considering this, it had been a truly foolish choice.
She had increased with her own hands the variables that should have been minimized.
Moreover, from what she’d just observed, that variable was more powerful than expected.
In terms of mission completion, she had made a huge mistake.
Even so.
She didn’t care.
Rather, she felt good.
Because she had finally realized.
The reason she had been so drawn to a man she was seeing for the first time.
A moment ago, Jinhyeok had pushed back the mercenaries.
It was clearly an action that moved Roche away from death.
But ironically, Jinhyeok was also the person closest to Roche’s death.
A human who could deliver definitive death to Balikits Roche, something no one she’d met until now had been able to do.
That was why.
She was attracted. Madly so.
She stopped walking a couple steps away.
Just facing each other felt like walking a tightrope over death.
She didn’t want this feeling to disappear meaninglessly.
“Yoo Jin-hyeok.”
“Yes?”
“I want you to live. But I want to kill you. I also want to keep living myself, but at the same time, I want to die too.”
“Oh… Yes.”
Jinhyeok swallowed dry saliva.
Did he answer because he understood what that meant?
‘Like hell he did.’
He didn’t understand any of it.
What kind of emotion it was, what nonsense it was.
There was just one thing he could tell.
Her eyes had gone even more insane than when he’d seen her before.
“Want to make a bet? After I count to three, we’ll attack each other. If your attack lands first, we maintain our temporary alliance and the fight ends here. If my attack lands first.”
Roche’s lips curved up long.
“The alliance ends here. Fight with me until death. Uh…”
“Three.”
WHAM!!!
Roche got punched in the face and flew away.
A silence even heavier than before arrived.
“Guhehehehe…!”
“Wo… ow.”
Within that silence, exclamations close to shock could be heard.
Not few people opened their mouths so wide their jaws might fall off.
The gazes that had been watching the flying Roche shifted to Jinhyeok.
Gulp!
Cold sweat ran down Jinhyeok’s back.
Those countless eyes seemed to be saying something.
Booo, trash! they said.
‘Did I hit too hard?’
He had pulled back his strength as much as possible.
But just in case she dodged or blocked, he struck with maximum speed.
‘Oh right. Force equals mass times acceleration.’
The formula for force came to mind belatedly.
He quickly ran to where Roche had flown.
The dark blue mist had dissipated.
The scissors she had been holding also disappeared.
He brought two fingers under her nose.
Hmm! She’s breathing… and…?!
Roche suddenly grabbed those fingers.
He sucked in a sharp breath.
To be honest, he confesses.
He was scared shitless.
Roche looked up at him with unfocused eyes.
Roche wiped away the blood flowing from her nose.
“I didn’t see you that way.”
A strange smile formed at the corner of her mouth.
“You’re… damn… merci… less…”
Her words couldn’t be finished.
Her head dropped with a thud.
Jinhyeok, who had frozen for a moment, reached out his hand again.
Her breathing was very regular and peaceful.
“She’s fallen asleep.”
He didn’t know why he was speaking out loud.
“She looked tired since yesterday, she must have been very exhausted.”
Jinhyeok muttered even louder.
The eyes of the mercenaries watching this were shaking terrifyingly.
They had no idea how they should react.
To be more honest, they wanted to say out loud.
That she wasn’t asleep but unconscious.
In the awkward silence.
Jinhyeok, supporting Roche, slowly started walking away.
Let’s get out of here for now.
“If you apply this, what happens!”
“Your skin gets really good, right?”
“Lies! It smells worse than poop!”
“The worse it smells, the better it is for your body, right?”
She wanted to sleep a bit more, but noisy voices could be heard.
Were there such loud people on the ship?
“Mmm.”
Her eyelids felt unusually heavy today.
Still, she needed to assess the situation, so she forced them open.
Thud thud.
A large ice pack fell from her eyes.
No wonder her eyelids felt heavy.
But do they usually put such a big pack on?
“She’s awake!”
“Of course, right? I’m a renowned physician.”
“Ellia, you were a doctor?!”
“Mmm, according to my master, the potions I make have a 50% chance of saving people and a 50% chance of killing them. They’re consistently mixed with deadly curses and poisons.”
“Then isn’t that dangerous?”
“Odongtongi doesn’t know much. 50 percent is quite a high probability, right?”
“That seems right!”
Roche looked back and forth between the two exchanging banter.
The cutie who had cut her hair in the utility room.
And one was a woman wearing an Eskimo hat pulled down low.
Ellia came closer and examined Roche’s condition.
“Hmm! Thanks to my potion, your face has become much more normal.”
Roche tilted her head.
“Was there something wrong with my face?”
“It was covered in blood?”
“It was redder than a monkey’s butt!”
Momo thrust out her chubby Doraemon fist.
“Who did that to the hairdresser sister?!”
She looked ready to scold them right away.
Roche burst into small laughter and hugged Momo.
Jinhyeok came to mind, but she decided to let it slide once.
At least he had treated her.
She bowed her head to Ellia.
“Thank you. For treating me.”
“Don’t mention it. Our mas… I mean, Jinhyeok specifically asked.”
Under Roche’s stare, sweat ran down Ellia and Momo’s backs.
From Roche’s perspective, there must be more than one or two strange things.
Just Momo alone – they had said she was left at the hotel.
“It’s, it’s hot! What kind of cabin doesn’t have air conditioning and makes you sweat buckets!”
“R-right. This is totally worth complaining about, right?”
The two people’s pupils wandered through the air.
They wanted to look at distant icebergs, but there were no windows.
A smile formed at the corner of Roche’s mouth.
She decided to stop asking about them.
“What about Jinhyeok?”
“He left!”
“He left? Where to?”
They were in the middle of the sea surrounded by icebergs.
There shouldn’t be anywhere he could go?
“He told me to give you this!”
Momo rummaged through her clothes and pulled out a piece of paper.
“Wow. That’s a really half-hearted note.”
“I think so too!”
It felt like memo paper from the cabin had been roughly torn and scribbled on.
She unfolded the crumpled paper and read the contents.
# Sorry for punching you. Ms. Roche spoke so menacingly that I couldn’t help myself. I hope you recover quickly!
# p.s The alliance ends here. I’m leaving. Good luck. If fate allows, we’ll meet again? If not, can’t be helped.
# Bye bye.
“This is kind of an infuriating letter.”
Writing p.s and then adding another greeting below it somehow makes it even more annoying.
Did he do that on purpose? Or is it just his natural talent?
“What did he write!”
I raised my hand to avoid Momo trying to peek.
“It’s a secret. I can’t let Jinhyeok get hit by cotton ball fists.”
Roche carefully folded the letter and tucked it into her inner pocket.
She lay back down on the bed with a smile.
‘If fate allows it.’
As a personal wish.
She hoped it would.
Someday. Somewhere. Without fail.
On an iceberg a little distance from the exploration ship.
Jinhyeok looked back.
‘I’m counting on you. Ellia, Momo.’
The sea covered with icebergs.
It seemed much faster to run, so he got off.
The exploration ship had already changed direction anyway.
Before departing, he opened his status window.
The Black Dragon Drachan he would soon face.
Since he needed to meet it in peak condition, he used the two normal blank cards and one dog-grade card he had saved up.
The two normal ones went to Seira.
Ding!
[Black Knight Order Commander Seira Kinketon’s skill ‘Aura Release’ is inscribed on the blank card!]
# Releases a crescent-shaped aura forward!
# The intensity of the aura varies according to the level of Black Knight Order swordsmanship!
# Mana holders can convert mana to aura to increase damage!
[Black Knight Order Commander Seira Kinketon’s skill ‘Bold Spear’ is inscribed on the blank card!]
# Knight member Shafia, who was a master of thrusting with the rapier.
# A technique developed by Shafia that concentrates power and aura into one point for an explosive speed thrust!
# Depending on the concentrated force, it can pierce through rocks!
Ding!
[Using 1 Blank Card – Dog grade! A hero card will be randomly selected!]
[Demon Renyah, the steel dokkaebi tempered in darkness, has been selected!]
[One of Renyah’s locked skills will be randomly selected!]
Ding!
[Renyah’s skill ‘Earth Destruction Falling Star’ is inscribed on the blank card!]
# “Stars fall to destroy the earth.”
# Power can be increased by adding the player’s aura and mana!
After checking the added skills, he warmed up his body.
Jinhyeok gathered power beneath his feet and shot forward using the iceberg as a foothold.
A smile formed on his lips.
It was dragon hunting time.
