Only I Have Two Towers Episode 234
Necromancer of the Century
One thing I felt while wandering around the mountain ridge.
These undead bastards are really damn numerous.
It’s so densely packed that even dodging and weaving around them is difficult.
Thud thud thud thud thud.
So I just pushed through with my shoulder.
Krreuk?!
The guys I bumped into turned their heads, but I didn’t care.
It was just a reflexive reaction, not actual recognition of me.
‘Where exactly are you, Tarion?’
This is like finding a needle in a desert of sand with undead everywhere.
At least when I follow large presences, there’s always a named monster settled there.
I’ve already struck out more than a dozen times.
Just as I was about to step forward to look from higher ground.
I felt a strange sense of unease.
Somewhere within my presence detection range.
Just that one spot was completely empty.
As if no undead existed there at all.
I quickly climbed up the ridge and looked in that direction.
Naturally, that place was also crawling with undead.
Yet feeling nothing there meant someone was intentionally concealing themselves.
I raised the corners of my mouth and leaped to higher ground.
And the moment I landed.
Swoooosh…!
Something spread out from me as the center.
Like the feeling of dropping a foot into a calm lake.
Ominous, but I hope it’s just my imagination.
I don’t want to be detected in a position where there are undead everywhere I look.
Guuuubaramoooosarahak.
An incomprehensible resonance reached my ears.
“Oh.”
At the same time, I let out an audible gasp.
As if by promise, thousands of undead turned their heads toward where I stood.
It’s quite terrifying because it’s a dark night.
I moved my hands to the Judgment of Radiance and Blessing of Eldoras at my waist.
And the moment I exhaled.
Kraaaaaaak!!!
The undead began rushing toward me.
[Najeber Style Quick Draw 1st Sword – Night Crow Hunt]
Sword-blue aura spreading wide in a circle.
The undead touched by the aura were instantly shredded and scattered.
Kugugugugugu…!
Perhaps because even my stealth was now broken.
The ground behind me vibrated with all sorts of spine-chilling cries.
As the hidden master’s location was exposed, part of the legion heading to the castle also turned toward here.
I smiled.
Now that it’s come to this, there’s only one choice left.
Only to advance forward.
Kwagagagagak!!
I picked up speed while cutting down everything in my path.
Countless undead blocked the way to prevent me from reaching their master.
Kwajajak!!
But it’s meaningless.
Though unique floors were created and floors strengthened, spawning all sorts of named monsters, the rest are ordinary monsters.
Even with Mortarion’s enhancement, they’re not strong enough to stop someone in the 130s.
“Clear the path, you weak creatures.”
While I was cutting my way through, an ominous voice was heard.
Death Knight Kurga, lifting a massive two-handed sword and striking down the undead monsters in front of him.
One of the named monsters created by floor enhancement.
“Foolish human.”
Behind Kurgah.
Mortarion, the Necromancer of the Century, sneered.
To think only one person came to face him and his immortal army.
It wasn’t even a matter of arrogance or not.
It could only be explained as insanity.
“You will make a fine soldier.”
A foolish but powerfully built body.
Perhaps a new named monster could be created.
“My knight Kurgah. Kill him with minimal damage. I shall make him my servant.”
After finishing his command, Mortarion leisurely looked straight ahead.
But that composure didn’t last long.
Question marks appeared on his face.
Why wasn’t Death Knight Kurgah responding?
And why wasn’t he moving?
The enemy had reached right in front of him.
“Kurgah.”
He called again, but still no response.
Kurgah couldn’t even turn to look this way and was just trembling slightly.
Mortarion’s question marks grew larger and larger.
Kurgah was a master called the greatest swordsman in a kingdom.
For such a being to tremble because of just one human was impossible.
“I’ve read somewhere that even when dead and turned undead, one’s instincts and intuition from life don’t completely disappear.”
Jinhyeok, who had come right up front, looked down at Kurgah.
“You can’t picture it, can you? The image of your victory.”
Kurgah didn’t answer.
He was busy with his own internal struggle.
Strike. Kill the enemy before you. Strike. Cut down the foe. Strike. Strike. Strike.
He continuously gave commands, but it was futile.
Every nerve and sense in his body stubbornly refused.
To defy the being before his eyes.
Swoosh!
Death Knight Kurgah’s head futilely cut through empty air.
“My servants!! Show yourselves before me now and destroy your master’s enemy!!!”
At this bizarre sight, Mortarion didn’t hesitate.
He brought out all the elites he had been saving.
This was too ominous an enemy to hold anything back.
The undead elite unit instantly rose and surrounded Jinhyeok.
However, they couldn’t delay Jinhyeok’s advance by even a single second.
Swoooosh!
Lines were drawn and the elite soldiers scattered into pieces.
Jinhyeok, who broke through between them, quietly exhaled.
‘I won’t need to call them.’
From the moment he left the castle alone after hiding, his hand had been hovering over the SOS button.
Ready to press it in just 0.1 seconds at any time.
But after cutting down Death Knight Kurgah and facing Mortarion, the necromancer of the century, he realized.
There was no need for that.
Mortarion was no different from other named monsters.
The overwhelming pressure from this extreme level gap wouldn’t disappear.
‘The goal was to defend the castle from the beginning anyway.’
From the moment this floor was created until now.
Victory or defeat had never been the issue, not even for a single moment.
It was simply a matter of clear or failure, so he had put effort into it.
“Sources of curses that have slept for a long time.”
Of course, Mortarion seemed unaware of this.
He still appeared unable to accept it.
Mortarion took out a large box and opened it wide.
Hundreds of different curses poured out from it.
“Die consumed by curses…?”
As his vision flipped, Mortarion drew a question mark.
But getting an answer to that was impossible.
His head began turning to ash as soon as it separated from his body.
“Noooooo!!”
The last thing Mortarion saw was the enemy kneeling and screaming, ignoring the curses beating against his body.
Jinhyeok, gripping his head, stared at the opened box.
If he had let Momo pick it up while it was still closed, it would have been an excellent cursed item acquisition.
But in a moment of carelessness, it had been opened.
Thud.
“Ah.”
Only then did he notice Mortarion’s collapsed body.
He had been startled when the box opened and cut him down.
That seemed to have been the finishing blow.
A post he had once seen on Tower Site came to mind.
-Summoner class trait: Useless without summons.
Even the necromancer of the century couldn’t escape this ‘trait.’
At the time, he thought it was just written to provoke people, but now he saw it was a wise saying.
Ding!
[Mortarion, the necromancer of the century, has returned to nothing!]
[The undead army that Mortarion commanded is being annihilated!]
He looked back.
They had been rushing forward foaming at the mouth, which was a bit scary.
Now they were collapsing all at once as if nothing had happened, turning to ash.
[The undead legion couldn’t even reach Solaum, the capital of Saintla!]
[Not a single casualty occurred in Player Yoo Jin-hyeok’s party or Saintla!]
[You’ve overwhelmingly crushed the impossible difficulty! This is a great victory that will remain in history forever!]
[You have cleared the unique floor ‘The Final Siege of Saintla’! Lower floors will be processed as cleared!]
[Enhanced Tower of Despair 74th Floor is cleared!]

.
.
.
[Enhanced Tower of Despair 80th Floor is cleared!]
[Clear grade from 74th to 80th floor achieves SSS+!]
[Achievement gauge settlement will be completed when you return to Solaum, the capital of Saintla!]
[Achievement ‘One Who Defeated the Undead Army’ acquired! / Level: 130 / Grade: Epic]
[Unique trait ‘Level Matching’ activated! Seira Kinketon with the highest level is selected as the standard.]
[Player Yoo Jin-hyeok level up!]
[Player Yoo Jin-hyeok level up!]
.
.
.
[Player Yoo Jin-hyeok reaches level 137!]
The Achievement Dragon Slayer he had obtained after defeating Black Dragon Drakan last time.
Dragon Slayer’s Achievement level was 200, and its grade was Legendary.
He realized anew.
Various environmental factors had helped, but it really was a damn strong dragon.
[3 Blank Cards – Normal acquired!]
[Black Knight Order Commander Seira Kinketon’s experience increases! Current level: 202 / Current experience: 90%]

[Demon Renyah, steel tempered in darkness, level increases! Current level: 137]
[Demon Killing Technique-Advanced level increases! Current level: 2]
He swallowed dry saliva and checked the messages flowing by.
The increase in levels and experience for me and my friends was excellent news.
But this alone wasn’t enough.
More precisely, it couldn’t end like this.
How much money had he invested!
After taking a deep breath.
“Momooooooo!!!!!!!”
He shouted with all his might.
If the system won’t give it, there’s no choice.
He had to collect it himself.
“I’m here!!”
She didn’t ask why he called.
Teacher Daemomo immediately went to Mortarion’s corpse and screeched to a halt!
He stood beside Doctor Mo, who began dissection as soon as she arrived.
Thump thump.
He could see various things, but couldn’t tell how good they were.
After rummaging for a while, Momo pulled something out.
“This is the best one!”
Her gaze naturally shifted to that place.
And a big question mark couldn’t help but be drawn.
A single book so old it looked like it would crumble at any moment.
This was supposed to be the best thing…?
