Only I Have Two Towers Episode 213

 

Finding the Spy

 

In the mysterious silence.

 

Everyone’s gaze was focused on Kancheo who had fallen flat on his back.

 

Kancheo, the Yodel Ranger unit commander who had stepped forward with such dignified momentum.

 

The atmosphere had been so magnificent, as if something great was about to happen.

 

That’s why.

 

A ray of hope had appeared on the faces of Roberto and the Saint Knight Order who had been in despair.

 

Of course, that light was now completely extinguished.

 

The moment Kancheo fell flat on his back in the most pathetic way possible.

 

Jinhyeok walked over smoothly and helped Kancheo to his feet.

 

He also brushed off the dirt from his back and the back of his head.

 

“The gun’s heavy, isn’t it?”

 

“The recoil is tremendous.”

 

He was such an excellent unit member that I had really overlooked the gun’s recoil.

 

The gun itself was quite large compared to his small build.

 

“I’ll get you a new one later.”

 

“Understood. This one won’t work.”

 

Kancheo obediently handed over the gun.

 

Meanwhile, Roberto, who had come to his senses, shouted.

 

“Run!! Knot is coming!!”

 

The monster Knot, shaped like a giant rhinoceros.

 

Knot had the nickname of formation breaker.

 

A brutish attack where it gained altitude with its massive body, then fell and rammed with its horn.

 

For the Saint Knight Order of Seintra, who valued formations and ranks in war, it was like a disaster.

 

“Captain. A rhinoceros is coming.”

 

“So it is. Seira.”

 

“I’ll cut it.”

 

Seira stepped forward.

 

Roberto, who was watching this scene, burst into anger.

 

“What are you doing!! Run away right now! Unless you want to be crushed!”

 

Death had approached right before their eyes.

 

Yet how could they be so calm and relaxed?

 

They had clearly never faced the concept of death even once.

 

“Ah…”

 

Roberto let out a sigh mixed with despair.

 

Knot had already rushed right up to them.

 

It was too late.

 

They were already within range.

 

Kiiiiiiiiik!!

 

With a bizarre scream, Knot began its descent.

 

Soon that horn would crush everything below.

 

‘Oh God. I go to your side.’

 

He clasped his hands together and offered a prayer.

 

He didn’t close his eyes.

 

Even if his flesh would meet death, he didn’t want his heart to surrender as well.

 

He would face the darkness with dignity until the end.

 

Swish.

 

“…?”

 

The moment he thought collision was inevitable.

 

A golden line was drawn through Knot’s center.

 

Its movement itself hadn’t stopped.

 

Knot was still shooting forward.

 

If there was something unexpected.

 

“This can’t… be.”

 

It was flying split exactly in half.

 

Kwagagagagagak!!

 

Knot crashed into the wrong place instead of its intended target, the Saint Knight Order.

 

What on earth had happened?

 

Even though he had been watching, it was hard to understand.

 

But it was still too early to let their guard down.

 

Though Knot was dead, hundreds of undead legions remained intact.

 

They needed to quickly escape this place… Step.

 

This time Jinhyeok moved forward.

 

In his hand was a holy sword borrowed from the Player Hunter Bureau.

 

[Skill Borrowing – Seira Kinketon]

 

He used Skill Borrowing, which had reached level 5 and allowed him to choose hero cards.

 

Seira’s skills and Bogu began spinning before his eyes.

 

Ding!

 

[Borrowing Black Knight Order Captain Seira Kinketon’s skill ‘Tsunami of Black Waves’!]

 

[This is a level 120 skill. Player Yoo Jin-hyeok’s level is 130]

 

[Can be used without power nerf!]

 

Pitch-black aura emanated from the brightly glowing holy sword.

 

Golden divine power and jet-black aura mixed together, creating a mysterious light.

 

Jinhyeok raised the holy sword gripped in both hands above his head.

 

As aura gathered, a massive wave began to form.

 

“Fall back further.”

 

Seira took care of Kancheo and leaped backward.

 

Jinhyeok glanced back briefly.

 

After confirming his friends had moved to a place where they wouldn’t get caught up in it.

 

Swaaaaaaash!

 

He drew the holy sword straight down from top to bottom.

 

Then, following that direction.

 

Kwaaaaaaaaaa!!!

 

Waves of divine power and aura surged forward like a tsunami.

 

The speed wasn’t fast.

 

But there was no problem.

 

This technique didn’t pursue speed or precision in the first place.

 

Devouring everything in its path with the overwhelming mass of the wave.

 

It aimed for this alone.

 

Before long, the undead legion encountered the tsunami.

 

And.

 

That was the end of it.

 

No trace of the undead could be found anywhere.

 

“This is… unbelievable.”

 

Roberto and the Saint Knight Order stared at Jinhyeok with blank faces.

 

What kind of swordsmanship was that?

 

No, was it even swordsmanship in the first place?

 

The tsunami had been so high it seemed to touch the sky.

 

A sigh of relief was exhaled.

 

I felt incredibly fortunate.

 

To be behind that tidal wave.

 

If I had faced it head-on, I would have knelt before its overwhelming and crushing majesty.

 

‘Just… why are they so calm about this?’

 

Roberto looked at Jinhyeok’s party standing ahead.

 

People casually chatting about trivial matters as if it were nothing, as if this happened all the time.

 

It was an incomprehensible party.

 

Not to mention Jinhyeok, who had just swung that sword.

 

How could he be so composed and dignified?

 

Swoosh.

 

Jinhyeok straightened his back and gazed at the now-cleared path ahead.

 

Then he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

 

‘What the hell was that?’

 

Contrary to Roberto’s assumption, Jinhyeok was not calm at the moment.

 

Nor was he composed.

 

Rather, he was quite shocked.

 

He had borrowed it and swung it, sure.

 

But he had no idea something that tremendous would come out.

 

His mana was completely drained from just one swing.

 

It must have been a technique that sucked up and went all-in with every bit of mana.

 

That’s probably why Seira hadn’t used it either.

 

Anyway.

 

Grin!

 

The corners of his mouth turned up.

 

Even though he had used it himself, it was a very satisfying and pleasing technique.

 

It seemed pretty cool too.

 

Now if he turned around as if nothing had happened, as if it were no big deal, the finish would be perfect too.

 

“Well then, let’s head back to Vilhelm…”

 

Crack!

 

Huh?

 

He looked down at the ominous sound.

 

The holy sword shattering into pieces and falling to the ground.

 

“H-Holy Sword No. 1!!!”

 

Why? I only swung it once? I didn’t even directly strike anything? Did they give me one that was already broken?

 

Question marks popping up like rapid fire.

 

He quickly erased the last question mark.

 

He was grateful just for them lending it to him, yet here he was raising such questions.

 

He almost became an ungrateful bastard.

 

“Hmm.”

 

Seira approached and examined the sword.

 

“The sword was too weak to withstand the tidal wave of dark energy.”

 

“It was a technique that put a lot of strain on the sword.”

 

“I’ve gone through hundreds of them too.”

 

“I should have asked before using it.”

 

He got caught up in the moment and just swung it recklessly.

 

When he got back, he’d have to prostrate himself before Team Leader Jin Yun-ho.

 

Ding!

 

[You have cleared the Strengthened Tower of Despair, 71st Floor!]

 

[You have spare Tower of Despair tickets and enhancement vouchers! Would you like to continue climbing?]

 

[If you continue, settlement will proceed upon completion of the 72nd floor climb!]

 

[You can choose between the Strengthened 72nd Floor and the Normal 72nd Floor!]

 

“Straight to the Strengthened 72nd Floor.”

 

[Strengthening the Tower of Despair, 72nd Floor!]

 

[Exiting the Tower of Despair, 71st Floor!]

 

[Entering the Tower of Despair, 72nd Floor!]

 

[This is Vilhelm, the capital city of the Holy Kingdom of Saintla!]

 

The space scattered into particles and then reconstructed.

 

He looked around.

 

Splendid decorations filling the corridors and walls.

 

Indeed, befitting a holy nation.

 

Divine power emanated from every decoration.

 

‘Thank goodness. Momo isn’t here.’

 

Momo was probably busy preparing barbecue at home right now.

 

If Momo had been here, she would have tried to take everything somehow.

 

Since it all looked expensive at first glance.

 

But where is this place?

 

“This is the Royal Palace of the Holy Kingdom of Saintla.”

 

“Oh geez. You startled me. When did you get here, Konu?”

 

“It’s Konu. I took a look around. This is my first time here too.”

 

It seems the location moved in one go from the mountain pass to the royal palace when climbing from the 71st to 72nd floor.

 

“Thank you for waiting.”

 

Knight Roberto approached.

 

Roberto, having received treatment and changed into clean clothes.

 

He looked quite distinguished.

 

Roberto came close and bowed respectfully.

 

“Thank you so much. Without your help, we would have been annihilated by the undead legion.”

 

“Not at all. I’m glad we could be of help.”

 

Konu’s eyes shook violently as he listened.

 

Jinhyeok was so polite and courteous compared to that crazy raccoon.

 

How could the owner and pet raccoon have such different personalities?

 

“His Majesty wishes to meet the hero. I will escort you immediately.”

 

‘Hero?!’

 

It felt a bit ticklish, but he decided not to correct them.

 

If they felt he was a hero, then he was a hero.

 

“Would it be alright to escort just the hero first? Due to a recent unfortunate incident at the royal palace, only one outsider at a time can have an audience. The Tower guide may accompany you.”

 

“That sounds fine. Could you perhaps provide some food for my friends? They must be hungry.”

 

“I’ll have it brought out immediately.”

 

“Thank you. I’ll be back.”

 

He waved to his friends and followed Roberto.

 

Along the way, overwhelmed by worry, he bent down.

 

“Konu.”

 

“Yes?”

 

“I’ve never met someone as high-ranking as a king before. What should I do?”

 

“I’m also from common origins, so I don’t really know about such things.”

 

“We’re exactly the same then.”

 

He straightened up again and continued walking.

 

“But what kind of unfortunate incident happened at the royal palace?”

 

“We received intelligence that a spy from Lord of Death Mortarion has infiltrated. They say it’s someone who can change their appearance.”

 

Roberto let out a deep sigh.

 

“That spy apparently turned priests and knights from influential families into undead.”

 

Ding!

 

[The clear condition for the 72nd Floor of the Tower of Despair has been updated!]

 

[Find the spy of Lord of Death Mortarion!]

 

# You must find and eliminate the spy somewhere in the royal castle.

 

# This is an undead with a special constitution that can cloak itself in divine power. Due to this, the undead’s distinctive aura is hidden, making it difficult for Saintria to identify the spy.

 

# The longer it takes to find them, the more key forces of the Kingdom of Saintria will turn into undead.

 

# As this is a kingdom, there are established rules and etiquette. You may need to take political actions to approach suspicious individuals.

 

# Time limit: 240 hours. Beginning countdown.

 

# Hint: Spies are always close by.

 

I noticed the crowd gathered in front of the door.

 

“These are the key administrators of the royal castle. They’ve gathered to devise countermeasures.”

 

“I see.”

 

I answered lightly while observing the people.

 

Then I took out the necklace.

 

Since it said the aura was hidden because it was cloaked in divine power.

 

[Cross of Judas Iscariot]

 

Let me try removing it.

 

I held out the upside-down cross.

 

[The stench of betrayal shall devour the sacred light]

 

Swoooooosh!!

 

For a moment, gray waves spread out from the cross.

 

All the divine power that existed in the chamber evaporated at once.

 

The crowd, including Roberto, turned their heads in surprise.

 

What had happened?

 

What could have happened to make everyone’s divine power disappear?

 

Roberto’s eyes widened.

 

Where is the hero?!

 

As if to answer this question.

 

Crash!!

 

A thunderous sound was heard.

 

The priest whose head was smashed after being slammed into the wall.

 

From there, it began to seep out.

 

The evil aura characteristic of the undead.
