Only I Have Two Towers Episode 226

Death Rides a Wooden Horse

Queen Asha rose from her throne and looked around the island.

Thousands of Rakshasas looking up at her.

If released outside, this was more than enough force to conquer the world in an instant.

Crack!

Seeing such power made anger surge within her.

To think they had lived trapped on this narrow island for so long despite having such a mighty army.

Anyone who heard this would burst into laughter and more.

‘If only it weren’t for that damned prophecy.’

The Rakshasas’ Seer who had never been wrong even once.

He had foreseen the appearance of a natural enemy and then chose the path of self-destruction.

His reason was that he didn’t want to live in fear waiting for the natural enemy that would inevitably come.

-Your Majesty. You must not go out into the world. You must not reveal your existence. You must live in the shadows. Otherwise… it will come. The natural enemy.

She gritted her teeth as she recalled his last words.

‘What a coward.’

Though she found it detestable, she couldn’t help but follow it.

A hundred percent accuracy rate was that frightening.

As the Seer had said, Asha never stepped out of the shadows.

She thoroughly punished those who broke the rules and tried to reveal their existence.

For hundreds of years, no less.

But when did it start?

She had grown tired of it.

This life of hiding in fear of an invisible natural enemy that might appear at any time.

So she sent Kang Woo-jin to the region the prophecy indicated.

Since it wouldn’t appear easily, she had no choice but to seek it out herself.

Because she no longer wanted to live trapped.

Because she wanted to freely display this tremendous power she had cultivated in the shadows.

“Your Majesty.”

One of the Rakshasas approached and bowed.

“Ranjets is coming. The other Rakshasas who went with him are nowhere to be seen. He’s alone.”

Asha clicked her tongue and shook her head.

This cowardly bastard had returned alone again.

It was the same when he faced the Dokkaebi in the past.

Even in battles where everyone else perished, Ranjets had survived and returned by any means necessary.

She had given him the number 8 Evils in recognition of his survival skills, but she couldn’t help finding him disgusting every time she saw him.

But now she was curious.

What had he gained and what had he given up this time to preserve that pathetic life of his?

And where exactly had he sold off the other Rakshasas?

‘Well, whatever.’

She shrugged her shoulders.

The deal with the Tower was already complete.

The final puzzle piece to prepare for the natural enemy had been put in place.

Soon, the souls of strong humans would pour in like a flood.

She didn’t know how strong the standard of clearing the 80th Floor was, but they would certainly provide much higher quality souls than ordinary people.

“4th Rank Raul.”

“Yes.”

“Before letting Ranjets in, examine him carefully. Make sure he hasn’t brought anything strange with him.”

“Understood.”

Asha frowned.

Despite giving the order herself, she felt puzzled.

‘What exactly am I afraid of?’

Asha was currently surrounded by thousands of Rakshasas.

Asha herself was also a powerhouse comparable to a high-ranking evil.

No matter what came, there was no way they could possibly lose.

Why did the Seer’s last words keep replaying endlessly?

Before long, Ranjets appeared, led by Raul’s hand.

“Ha.”

Seeing him directly made it even more pathetic.

His face was pale as if he’d seen a ghost, and his clothes were soaked in sweat and turned to rags.

Just looking at him made her frown.

Rising irritation made her speak.

“Coward Ranjets. Don’t just stand there blankly and tell me where you sold off the other Rakshasas…”

“A traitor has appeared!!”

Asha stopped speaking.

Silence also fell over the chamber.

Though hundreds of years had passed, it was still vivid.

The memory of that day when they were mercilessly slaughtered by a single being.

“Say that again. What appeared?”

“Do, Dokkaebi…”

Whoosh!

Ranjets’ two legs flew away in the blink of an eye.

Asha’s eyes widened as she ground her teeth.

“I told you not to use that title.”

“Ugh… Uugh… I’m sorry!”

“Are you certain? Is it really that traitor we know?”

“I’m certain! There’s no way I could be mistaken!”

She couldn’t deny it.

Ranjets was one of the survivors who had encountered Renia and lived.

Asha gritted her teeth.

So the natural enemy the Seer spoke of was indeed that Dokkaebi bastard?

“How is such a thing possible? The traitor was sealed away after losing his Horn. Moreover, 3rd Rank Kalik is guarding that place. Escaping on his own would be impossible.”

“It wasn’t on his own! There was someone who freed the traitor! A human!”

Commotion arose among the Rakshasas Clan.

The traitor being freed was already like a nuclear bomb dropping.

But for the one who caused such an incident to be merely human? This was getting more ridiculous.

“Quiet.”

Asha raised her hand and steadied her breathing.

Then she wore a smile full of composure.

“So? What changes?”

Asha looked around at the Rakshasas once.

“We haven’t stood still. We’ve continued advancing for hundreds of years. Even if the traitor reaches this place now, what could he do? How many times would he have to die to annihilate all of you? Tens of thousands of times? Hundreds of thousands of times? I’m not sure. But coward Ranjets.”

Asha glared at the terrified Ranjets with cold eyes.

“You haven’t changed at all from then to now. To be in such a state just because one ghost from the past appeared. You’ll die of a heart attack before your soul gives out.”

“The, the traitor isn’t the problem. The human who was with the traitor…”

Ranjets hesitated for a long while before making a despairing expression.

“Is the natural enemy.”

Words that made her doubt her ears were heard.

But Asha couldn’t hear any additional report about it.

More precisely, Ranjets wasn’t given the time to do so.

Swoooosh…!

Pure white light flowed from Ranjets’ shoulder.

An unidentifiable transmutation circle was drawn across his entire body.

Shortly after, changes began to occur in Ranjets’ body as well.

His flesh began to bulge and twist grotesquely.

“Uh… ah….”

Terrified, Ranjets raised his head to look at Asha.

“Y-Your Majesty, please save me….”

The words couldn’t be finished.

What had been Ranjets burst apart and scattered across the floor.

And in that spot, a large frog appeared.

A chilling silence engulfed the entire island.

No one was the first to speak.

Everyone just stared at where Ranjets had been, with giant question marks floating above their heads.

‘Why….’

Asha swallowed dryly.

‘Why isn’t he coming back to life.’

The suddenly appeared frog didn’t matter at all.

She wasn’t particularly curious about what that thing was right now either.

That wasn’t what was important.

Coward Ranjets definitely had spare souls.

But why was he still scattered on the floor in that pathetic state even now.

As if he had truly died.

Croak!

The motionless frog opened its mouth.

Guwaaaack!

Something burst out from inside.

It was a man with pure white hair flowing coolly.

“I can’t get used to this.”

Dark, covered in slime, grimaced with disgust.

The pig’s feet he’d just eaten felt like they were about to come back up.

Swoosh!

Dozens of throwing weapons flew at him, but not even a small scratch appeared on Dark’s body.

The weapons slipped on the slime and were thrown aside.

“Oh?”

Dark whistled.

He thought the slime for ambush preparation was just randomly applied.

But it actually had real effects.

Smiling, he stepped toward where the throne was.

Of course, he couldn’t advance more than a few steps.

Stab stab stab stab!!!

Rakshasas rushed from all directions, plunging weapons into the intruder.

Since the slime wasn’t infinite, the attacks that came later pierced through helplessly.

Cough!

Dark, coughing up blood, clicked his tongue.

Less than an hour after eating and they’re stabbing like this.

Ill-mannered bastards.

The eyes of all Rakshasas, including Asha, focused on the unidentified intruder.

“Who are you?”

“What are you supposed to be?”

“Show respect to Her Majesty the Queen!”

4th Rank Raul twisted his scabbard and shouted.

Dark quietly looked down at Raul.

“I’ve memorized it. Your face. And.”

Dark turned his gaze to Asha and raised one corner of his mouth.

“I only show respect to my master. Not to some weak bitch like you.”

“Master…?”

She raised her head at the terrible chill touching her skin.

An ice pillar that had appeared at some point.

Asha frowned.

‘Where did it go?’

She had been so focused on the man in front of her that she lost track of the frog that served as a portal.

Dark chuckled and shrugged his shoulders.

“You’re slow to notice. He’s already crossed over.”

When he snapped his fingers, cracks appeared in the ice pillar.

The pillar shattered into pieces and scattered as small particles.

From within, he revealed himself.

The human that the intruder before them served as master, the one 8th Rank Ranjets had called a natural enemy before dying.

“Ugh!”

Jinhyeok covered his mouth.

The sticky slime of the frog covering his entire body.

Now he understood why Dark had been so disgusted.

“Damn.”

He swallowed dryly while assessing the situation.

Dark had become a pincushion in the short time since he’d left.

He always seemed to give him the dangerous roles, which made him feel sorry.

“Hey, trash.”

Confirming that Jinhyeok had emerged safely, Dark looked at the Rakshasas clinging to him.

“My business is done, so get lost.”

No time was given to retreat.

Crack!!

All the Rakshasas froze solid except for 4th Rank Raul, who had instinctively retreated.

Looking at Raul, Dark sneered.

“Like a little rat.”

“How dare…!”

As Raul was about to charge again.

Jinhyeok, standing beside Dark, spoke up.

“Wait a moment.”

“Raul.”

Asha also pulled Raul back.

Even if she was going to kill them, she felt she should listen first.

To the story of these lunatics who had invaded this island with just the two of them.

“Nice to meet you. Are you the Queen of the Rakshasas? Did you make a deal with the Tower of Despair?”

“What if I did?”

“Since there’s still time before the deal is finalized, if Your Majesty dies before then, the deal would be void, right?”

This time she didn’t answer.

To dare speak of her death in this place.

And just a mere human at that.

They definitely wouldn’t be allowed to die peacefully.

“What are you?”

“No comment. I don’t have a hobby of telling my name to someone who’s about to die.”

Dark, who had been listening, burst into giggles.

He had a strange ability to make people lose their temper.

“I meant it when I said I was glad to see you. You’re my jackpot, after all.”

Shing.

He drew Soul Harvester and stepped forward.

Behind him, his friends manifested one by one.

“Shall we start right away then?”

A smile formed on Jinhyeok’s lips.

“I’m in a hurry to get going.”

He kicked off the ground.

It was time to hit the jackpot.
