Only I Have Two Towers Episode 214
Changes That Came to the Tower
A palace corridor decorated with splendid ornaments.
Heavy silence settled over that place.
An unpleasant sound seeping through that silence.
The sensation under my hand was also quite disgusting with its gurgling sounds.
“Ugh.”
I couldn’t bear it and pulled my hand away.
As expected of someone from the Immortal Legion.
Even with his head completely shattered, he doesn’t die.
“How… did you… know?”
The spy asked a question as soon as his jaw regenerated.
Instead of answering, I looked around.
“Could I borrow that mace for a moment?”
“Y-yes.”
I received the mace from one of the paladins.
Everyone here has weapons imbued with holy power.
Holy Kingdom of Saintla, what a wonderful place.
I gripped the mace firmly and turned around.
“Foolish bastard. Too late.”
Spy Gant, who had completed his regeneration in an instant, sneered.
He had deliberately slowed his regeneration speed to deceive the enemy’s eyes.
That hero bastard was properly fooled and let his guard down.
He gathered strength in his feet planted on the ground.
Not just anyone can work as a spy.
Gant’s stealth movement and instant acceleration were top-level even within the legion.
By the time those guys realized it, he would have already escaped the royal castle.
“Hero, was it? I’ll definitely repay this debt.”
He leaped into the air.
And escaped the palace through the escape route he had mapped out in advance.
Saintla was already chaotic due to preparations for the siege defense.
Getting out was a piece of cake.
He stepped on structures and instantly leaped over the city wall.
A smile formed on his lips.
Being discovered was absurd, but it didn’t matter.
He had already finished assessing Saintla’s military strength.
Mission accomplished… Crack. Crack.
‘Hmm?’
Gant tilted his head.
He could hear a strange friction sound.
Where on earth was it coming from… Crack!!!
Suddenly his vision twisted.
“Gasp!!”
The hero’s face appeared before his eyes.
“Get up. What kind of spy faints after getting hit once.”
A big question mark appeared on Gant’s face.
What? What’s this situation?
Roberto, one of the people who could answer this, swallowed dryly.
It was truly a split-second moment.
The instant the spy kicked off the ground, Jinhyeok’s fist swung.
Jinhyeok wasn’t even looking in that direction.
Yet he reacted almost simultaneously and smashed the spy’s face.
It was amazing presence detection and reflexes.
“Hmm… Well… tell me something.”
Jinhyeok asked a sloppy question.
An interrogation conducted in front of many watching people.
This was also a first, so it wasn’t familiar at all.
However, if there was something learned from countless audiovisual materials.
“If you don’t talk within 3 seconds, I’ll smash you.”
Death threats are essential.
With the mace thrust at him, Gant began spitting out information like a machine gun.
This bastard clearly lacks the qualities of a spy no matter how you look at it.
Ding!
[Information about the necromancer of the century Mortarion and the Immortal Legion is updated!]
[Information about Mortarion’s invasion plan is updated!]
[Information about the military strength lacking in the Immortal Legion is updated!]
Excellent.
Information even the system acknowledges.
“Th-that’s everything I know.”
Gant, having finished speaking, rolled his eyes.
He had revealed everything to buy time for now, but it didn’t matter.
If he eliminated everyone who heard it, it would be as if it never happened.
Preparing for another counterattack, he opened his mouth.
“Then please spare my…”
Crack!
Ding!
[You have defeated Immortal Legion spy Gant!]
[You have cleared the Strengthened Tower of Despair, 72nd Floor! Rewards from previous floors will be processed together!]
[You obtain SSS+ grade for 71st and 72nd floors!]
[You obtain a large amount of Achievement gauge!]
The Achievement gauge that had been empty instantly filled up to 90%.
This tower enhancement ticket is quite rewarding.
Ding!
[The level difference between the tower and player is extreme!]
[The increase value of unique trait Level Adjustment is reduced!]
[Player Yoo Jin-hyeok leveled up! Current level: 131]
At least only I leveled up while the rest of my friends just had their experience increase.
I smacked my lips.
It’s a bit disappointing, but I can’t blame the system.
Because there wouldn’t be anyone.
No player at this level would still be lingering in this section.
Besides, the original purpose of using the enhancement ticket was to get SSS+ grade while having the first clear advantage.
I couldn’t afford to miss the special reward box.
Ding!
[You obtain Immortal Legion spy Gant’s cloak!]
[Spy Gant’s Cloak / Grade: Unique / Level Restriction: 50]
# Defense: 50.
# All attribute magic resistance: 40.
# Unique Effect: Hides the wearer’s presence.
## Effect is maximized when blending in with a group.
“Ooh.”
I spread out the cloak to examine it.
A bit grimy, but decent enough stats.
Though it’s a bit awkward for me or my friends to use.
Just slightly better than having nothing?
Jinhyeok rubbed his chin and nodded.
Initiating the disposal sequence.
Let’s toss it to Yoo Jin-hee.
[Exiting the 72nd Floor of the Tower of Despair!]
The Tower that kicks you out before you can even wave goodbye.
I suspect the next floor will probably start with an audience with the King of Saintland.
Back to the rooftop of the house.
I laid out the spoils obtained from the 71st floor.
Hmm, not much.
The 71st to 80th floor section was already notorious.
Known for having lackluster loot compared to other floors.
It was a problem that arose because most enemies consisted of undead made of bones and rags.
But it’s too early to be completely disappointed.
Sometimes high-level liches drop incredible equipment.
And I’ve even enhanced the Tower.
If I keep going like this, I’ll eventually meet Mortarion, the necromancer of the century.
With a title like “of the century,” he must have at least one eye-catching piece of equipment.
Even if it doesn’t drop, what if I bring Momo to tear it off him? Instant loot acquisition.
Hehe!
Just imagining it makes me happy.
I barely suppressed my rising smile and headed downstairs.
It took longer than expected, so let’s hurry.
“Smell that.”
Even before reaching the garden, the savory aroma of oil wafted over.
They must have already started grilling the dragon meat.
I turned my attention to the status window.
[All Attribute Resistance SS+]
The result of gorging myself on Black Dragon Drachan’s meat.
My innate trait upgraded from S+ to SS+.
Not only do I resist cold and heat even more, but I can just tank most magic attacks.
But then, what’s the standard for “most”?
Come to think of it, I’ve never properly taken a magic attack.
‘I should experiment a bit.’
I need to figure this out in advance.
That way I’ll know when I can tank hits instead of dodging.
“Wowwwww!!”
Tremendous exclamations erupted from the garden.
I wasn’t surprised.
It was the natural course of events.
“This is sooooo delicious!? Momo, what kind of meat is this?”
!?
Jinhyeok’s pace quickened.
Momo, who was flipping the meat, opened her mouth with an innocent face.
“This is blac… mmph!”
I covered her chubby mouth and spoke instead.
“It’s black cattle meat. They say it’s raised using special methods in Greenland. It was so ridiculously delicious that I brought some back frozen.”
“Wow, black cattle! I’ve never had beef like this before!”
“Me neither. This is beyond amazing, it’s shocking.”
“Wow.”
Jin Seo-hee and Cheon Se-yeon, who had tasted the meat, also shook their heads.
They’d tried all the famous beef cuts.
But this otherworldly level of savoriness and chewiness was a first.
“I just put it in my mouth… and it disappeared. So this is what ‘melts in your mouth’ means.”
Jin Yun-ho covered his mouth.
His face showed genuine emotion.
“Wait a minute. My stats are going up.”
“Uh… yeah. Mine too.”
Four pairs of eyes turned toward Jinhyeok.
Their pupils were shaking violently.
This was also a natural reaction.
Potions or elixirs that raise stats cost tens of millions to billions of won depending on their effectiveness.
Even these were swept up by the wealthy, leaving supplies completely depleted.
But meat that raises various stats evenly with just a few bites?
Even while eating it, they wondered if this was real.
It went without saying that each piece would be incredibly expensive.
“I’m always indebted to you all. I’ll give you more frozen meat when you leave.”
“Wowwww…!!”
People looking at Jinhyeok with tremendous sparkles in their eyes.
Jinhyeok gave them a thumbs up.
May everyone become stronger by eating black dragon meat!
“Thank you for the meal!”
“Really! This precious thing!”
Everyone’s chopstick speed became ridiculously fast.
Not only was it delicious, but now they knew how precious it was.
How could they leisurely move their chopsticks?
“Take your time and eat plenty. There’s lots of meat.”
This was true.
The black dragon was quite large.
There’s still a ton left in the Infinite Warehouse.
“Momo, stop grilling and… you’re eating well.”
Yoo Su-yeon let out an awkward laugh.
She must have realized.
That worrying about Momo eating was the most unnecessary worry in the world.
Chomp chomp chomp chomp!!
Half the grilling meat got sucked into Momo’s mouth.
Truly the demon of eating shows.
Her stats probably won’t go up anymore, but she’s eating more enthusiastically than anyone.
“Have this later. It’s a special drink.”
I took out four Ellia-brand potions from my inventory.
“Oh! I was just getting thirsty!”
“Not now.”
“Huh?”
“Drink it after you digest the meat. Make sure. Absolutely sure.”
“Y-yes!”
I can’t even imagine what kind of disaster would happen if they drank it now.
It wouldn’t just end with the meat tasting worse.
Jinhyeok glanced at Jin Yun-ho.
I should tell him about the holy sword being broken in a bit.
He chewed the meat while looking around.
Under the bright moonlight, a housewarming barbecue party in a peaceful garden.
Absolutely wonderful.
Twenty thousand points out of a hundred!
Tower Site’s hot board today.
A strange post appeared on the already heated site.
# Title: 71st Floor has become weird.
## Just climbed it and something’s off. Did the people who wrote the guides actually go to the 71st Floor properly before writing?
The content itself wasn’t much.
However, players who were scratched by the last paragraph came flocking in droves.
@ What attention-seeking behavior. You should be grateful for the guides posted, not stirring up trouble again lol
@ What’s changed, nothing’s changed. I’ll go check the facts myself. Get ready to die.
You ready to die lol, you bastard who gave up on tower climbing and has leftover tickets.
No way, what floor are you on to be acting so cocky? If you can reach the 71st floor, you’re among the top players.
At first, the dominant opinion was that it was the poster’s delusion.
But before long, comments as mysterious as the original post began appearing.
@ It’s real? First, the guide changed. It used to be a badger named Konu or Konu, but some holy knight I’ve never heard of appeared.
Did Konu lose his job?
No no, that’s not what’s important. The paladin keeps saying weird stuff. He says there used to be a kingdom in the past that got destroyed. And he keeps grumbling that if it hadn’t fallen, we wouldn’t have all these undead running around like we do now.
No no no ??? You’re saying that kind of thing? When I was around there was nothing like that? What kind of hint/clue is this?
No no no no, is this like some kind of event? But there’s nothing like that in the Tower of Despair. This isn’t even a game.
No no no no no wait, is this even possible in the first place? You’re saying the tower, which is supposed to be the same for everyone, suddenly changed?
Naturally impossible, or more precisely, something that was considered impossible.
There had never been such a case until now.
But that very thing began to actually happen.
From someone’s small flutter of wings.
