Only I Have Two Towers Episode 222

Impossible Prerequisites

Along with the 73rd floor clear alarm, experience gain messages for me and my friends appeared.

And after rubbing my hands together for a moment.

[You have successfully obtained the Complete Battle Plan!]

[You acquire SSS+ grade!]

[You acquire a large amount of Achievement gauge!]

[Achievement gauge is full!]

The Achievement roulette began to spin.

Jinhyeok and the Kanmo Duo closed their eyes tightly and entered prayer mode.

Seira, who had been standing blankly beside them, quietly clasped her hands together.

Since everyone else is doing it, I’ll follow along for now.

Ding!

I opened my eyes at the cheerful notification.

A single pitch-black ticket floating in the air.

It’s a visual I’ve never seen before.

“I don’t know what it is, but it looks like a dud. It looks like something I wouldn’t take even if given.”

“No!!”

Momo shouted loudly, her golden eyes sparkling.

“This is really good stuff!”

I examined the ticket with great expectations.

[Unique Floor ‘The Final Siege of Saintla’ Creation Ticket]

# Creates a unique floor that doesn’t exist.

# When used, floors 74 through 80 will be merged.

# Enhancement tickets equal to the number of merged floors are required.

# Saintla is a nation that was destroyed long ago by Mortarion, the necromancer of the century.

# The fate of national destruction that cannot be prevented by any means.

# This is about overturning predetermined fate. The worst possible difficulty for this section will be applied.

# Clearing becomes nearly impossible.

# The obtained battle plan remains valid.

I rubbed my chin.

A new floor creation ticket – this is another first.

But I’m a bit puzzled.

Aside from ticket consumption, how is this different from using enhancement tickets on each floor like now?

Even now, judging by the atmosphere and the fact that the battle plan is valid, it seems like we’ll be fighting a defensive battle against the Immortal Legion on the enhanced 80th floor?

The name is grandiose but there’s no real practicality… Ding!

[When a unique floor is created, Mortarion the necromancer of the century will awaken!]

[The Immortal Legion will be strengthened and Mortarion will equip awakening gear that didn’t exist before!]

I take back what I said about no practicality.

Teacher Daemomo wasn’t wrong to say it was good.

I don’t know what it is, but awakening gear sounds completely meaningful.

[This is a floor that didn’t exist before. Upon clearing, changes will come to the Tower of Despair.]

[Once the floor is created, re-entry is possible until the siege begins. The tower won’t reset even if you exit.]

[This floor cannot be re-challenged. If clearing fails, both the floor and creation ticket will disappear.]

“What’s that pitch-black ticket! Tell Momo too!”

“It’s a really difficult floor. But good items come out.”

“Why aren’t you creating it quickly!”

“I need more enhancement tickets.”

I have 5 enhancement tickets received from Jin Yun-ho.

I used them from floors 71 to 73, leaving 2 remaining.

To use the creation ticket, I need 7 tickets, so I need to obtain 5 more.

‘Goddess somewhere out there. Please forgive me for being a shameless human again today.’

Since I said I’d try to get more, let me carefully make a phone call.

To the Player Hunter Bureau.

“Momo, bring out the dining table.”

“We’re eating here?”

“No, so I can look at the battle plan.”

Momo gave a thumbs up and summoned the Infinite Warehouse.

Only after confirming Ellia was far away did Momo open the door.

She doesn’t let her guard down even until the moment of entering.

“Here’s the grand dining table!”

“Good. Now let’s take a look.”

I spread out the battle plan wide.

“Hmm!”

“Hmmm!”

“Hmm indeed.”

Jinhyeok and the Kanmo Duo, who had been rubbing their chins, shrugged their shoulders.

No matter how I look at it, I don’t understand.

“Oh! Sir Roberto!”

Just then, Roberto, the holy knight of Saintla, walked over.

I made room so he could see properly.

Roberto’s complexion darkened shortly after examining it.

Soon after, he turned deathly pale.

“This is… Death Fog.”

Roberto pointed to the purple section on the map and continued his explanation.

“It’s one of the powers of Mortarion, the necromancer of the century, the force that swept away most of our knight order in the last battle. Death fog that corrodes everything it touches – leather, rock, steel, everything. Living beings begin undead transformation the moment they inhale it.”

Jinhyeok swallowed dryly.

Just hearing about it sounds like a brutal curse.

The fortunate thing is that the amount of Death Fog marked on the battle plan isn’t much.

If we can somehow deal with just that part… Ding!

[You have acquired information about Death Fog!]

[You can view the battle plan in ‘The Final Siege of Saintla’ version. Do you wish to proceed?]

I nodded.

I really like how snappy everything is today.

The battle plan updated for a moment.

‘Huh.’

My mouth fell open.

I think I need to cancel this.

What I said was fortunate.

The range of Death Fog marked on the battle plan had become ridiculously wide.

Enough to cover the entire capital of Saintla and more.

It seems like everything will melt before we can even fight properly.

‘Is this why they said it’s impossible difficulty to clear.’

I still don’t think we’ll lose in battle.

In the end, Mortarion will die and we’ll be the ones standing at the end.

However, the problem is the Holy Kingdom of Saintla.

Since the floor’s name itself is The Final Siege, there’s a high probability that successful defense will be the clear condition.

Even if we kill Mortarion, if Saintla completely melts away, it means clear failure.

“Master? What’s that at your waist?”

Ellia approached and bent down toward the medicine bottle.

I had been so absorbed in the Creation Scroll and operation orders that I momentarily forgot about it.

“It was next to the operation orders, so Momo grabbed it too!”

“As expected, our Odongtongi is greedy. But this looks kind of dangerous?”

Ellia took the medicine bottle and shook it around.

Roberto, who had been watching her, stumbled backward.

“B-be careful! That’s Death Fog!!”

“Oh my.”

“It’s dangerous!”

“Hurry up and throw it away! Granny!”

The Kanmo Duo backed away in horror, but Ellia didn’t.

“Hooh?”

Ellia’s eyes sparkled with an intrigued expression.

Truly befitting the Star Alchemist with Primordial Curiosity as her unique trait.

“Ellia. Can you analyze that and find a countermeasure?”

“Hehe! Who do you think I am?”

“A granny who doesn’t know if she’ll go today or tomorrow?”

Smack!

Ellia smoothly swung her hand and sent Kancheo flying.

Ellia continued as if nothing had happened.

“I’m the alchemist of the century, you know? I’ll analyze it quickly, so wait a bit.”

“Where are you gooooing!!”

Screech-thud!

Kancheo charged fiercely but was a bit too late.

Ellia had quickly entered the Star Forge.

He pounded on it, but the locked door showed no signs of opening.

“Kancheo. Come here. Let’s eat some strawberries.”

“Yes sir. I’ll execute the granny in a bit!”

“Momo wants strawberries too!”

“Konu, have one too. They’re really fresh.”

“Thank you for the meal.”

We sat around the table and munched on strawberries.

Being in season, their sweetness was incredible.

Just as we were finishing the whole container.

Creak.

Ellia peeked her head out through the opened door.

“Hey Satan! Let’s postpone our fight for a bit?”

“I won’t beat you up, so come out and give us a briefing!”

Ellia cleared her throat at Kancheo’s reassurance to come out and brief them.

All eyes turned to her.

“So? Is there a countermeasure?”

“Of course. When it falls into my hands, it’s solved in a jiffy?”

“Ooooh!”

“But there’s one problem? For the only countermeasure.”

Ellia drew a circle with her finger.

“We might need quite a lot of this?”

“How much?”

“Roughly enough gold to fill from here to waaaaaay over there?”

Jinhyeok and his friends, who had been following her finger with their eyes, froze.

And drew countless question marks.

Huh? Gold?

[Exiting the 73rd Floor of the Tower of Despair!]

I left the tower and walked to the corner of the farmland.

Friends manifested one by one.

Jinhyeok, who had been groaning, spoke up.

“Gold is the only thing, right? The material that Death Fog can’t pass through.”

Ellia nodded.

“It doesn’t just block it? It even has the effect of absorbing and neutralizing Death Fog. You could say it’s Death Fog’s natural enemy.”

“If given ample time, could even a small amount of gold absorb all the Death Fog?”

“No. Unfortunately, there’s a limit to how much it can absorb. That’s why we need gold proportional to the Death Fog. Plus, judging by the toxicity of the fog.”

Ellia pointed to Jinhyeok, Seira, Dark, and Renia.

“Except for these naturally sturdy ones, even we wouldn’t be safe from Death Fog? Not only would our flesh rot upon contact, but we’d instantly become undead yodels.”

“Why yodels of all things?”

“Because they’re the most pathetic and easy to handle?”

“Prepare to get beaten with an electric fly swatter at home.”

While Kancheo and Ellia were growling at each other.

Momo, who had been rubbing her chubby chin, snapped her fingers.

“Mm! Momo completely understands!”

Her eyes sparkled.

What solution has our Teacher Daemomo found?

Momo rummaged through her bag, pulled out a gas burner, and lit it.

Momo looked at Jinhyeok and pointed at the burner.

“We need to burn the Creation Scroll right now! That thing is evil!”

Cold sweat ran down my temple.

What a dramatic change of stance.

Awakened equipment or whatever, as a greedy collector, she couldn’t tolerate it.

Spending that much gold to clear a floor.

“Master! Hurry! We’ll all go bankrupt!”

“Momo. You know what?”

“What!”

“The option of not doing it is gone?”

I made a sad expression.

She probably seriously considered burning it all up.

If not for the message that came to mind before exiting the tower.

The unique skill Card Finder, acquired when my Collector grade became Rare after reaching level 100.

It’s a skill that can detect and track traces of Hero Cards, but I’d forgotten about its existence since it had never activated before.

But that trait had reacted to ‘The Final Siege of Saintla.’

Whatever it was, it meant there were traces of a new friend there.

“Then what do we do! Where can we get that much gold!”

“Actually, I do have something in mind.”

Starting with Momo, all eyes focused on Jinhyeok.

Jinhyeok pulled out his phone.

And opened a website.

A place where astronomical amounts of money had gathered thanks to the recent Fortress of Rakshasa, where you could literally strike it rich in a short time.

The gambling site Crown Jackpot.

“What’s this!”

“A place where you can make big money with one click.”

“As expected of the Captain! You had a plan ready!”

“Of course.”

I gave a thumbs up and smiled.

It wasn’t a lie.

I actually made a plan.

Exactly 3 minutes ago, that is.

The plan is simple.

Hit the jackpot and use that money to buy the gold I need.

That’s all there is to it.

“Hmm! Shall we go then?”

I walked forward confidently.

Going to Trigger It Now.
