Only I Have Two Towers Episode 256

The Tower’s Proposal

I came down the stairs to the entrance.

“I’m about to burst.”

“I think I’m going to die.”

Was it because they had thoroughly enjoyed the braised ribs and dessert that Beila had prepared?

Hiyori and Cheon Se-yeon patted their stomachs and let out labored breaths.

“You both went through a lot of trouble because of me.”

“Hey, why would this be because of Jinhyeok? It’s because of those crazy bastards. Besides, I have to work too. I’m getting paid.”

Hiyori also shrugged her shoulders.

“For all my big talk, I didn’t really do much either. All I did was get rid of a few small fries. So I haven’t fully repaid my debt yet.”

“What debt? You gave me a lot of information about the next section too.”

“Hehe. That’s not enough. But anyway, if you’re planning to strengthen the tower again, you really need to be careful. It might not just be a simple legend but something that actually exists.”

Regarding the 81st to 90th floor section, Hiyori and Seoyoon had spoken in unison.

Starting from the 81st floor, there are traces and legends you’ll continuously encounter, and they all point to the revival of some terrible being.

They said it would be a disaster if you carelessly strengthened it and something like that popped out.

“I’ve memorized it properly, so don’t worry.”

Hiyori, who had been looking at me with suspicious eyes, smiled.

“Well, who am I to worry about? We might be at the same floor level soon anyway.”

“That’s right. Jinhyeok and I really only have a few floors left between us now.”

Se-yeon let out a deep sigh.

When we first met, Jinhyeok was still stuck in the 20th floor section.

Se-yeon was in the 80th floor section.

But he had already caught up to just below her chin.

“I’ll be caught up anyway! But I’ll still work hard.”

“Fighting, Se-yeon.”

“But is it okay to receive something like this for free?”

Hiyori took out a long spear.

It was a tower-exclusive item brought from Etherapolis.

“The performance is ridiculously good.”

“That’s right. I needed an accessory just in time, and you’re giving me something like this. But this is also magical engineering, so could it be the same person as the maid inside…?”

“That’s right.”

As soon as they sat down, the two had asked in unison.

They wondered what this maid was about, and while the aura they felt wasn’t human, how could she be so good at speaking and housework?

So I somehow made up a vague explanation.

I said it was a collaboration between the Tower of Despair’s special benefits and the Doll Crafting Class whose identity couldn’t be revealed.

Anyway, since I gave them what the Management Bureau general used, it should be somewhat helpful.

Poke. Poke.

Hm?

Hiyori suddenly started poking my shoulder and arm.

After rubbing her chin for a while, Hiyori made a meaningful expression.

“I wondered why your aura seemed smaller than during the exchange meeting even though your floor level had risen significantly. You were suppressing it.”

I let out a hollow laugh.

She too was one of those who devoted themselves to martial arts, so she knew better than anyone.

How arduous and concentration-requiring it was to suppress and hide one’s own aura.

Yet Jinhyeok was doing such things as naturally as breathing.

Was this even possible?

She suddenly became curious.

What level of suppression was this?

“Can you release it once?”

Jinhyeok nodded and released his aura suppression.

Whoooooosh!!

Hiyori, who had unconsciously stepped back, opened her eyes wide.

What on earth was this? This explosive burst of energy.

Hiyori was born with sharper senses than anyone.

Of course, she had honed those senses daily through training.

Perhaps that’s why her body began to tremble.

At this overwhelming aura that even changed the surrounding air.

“Ha…”

Hiyori reached out her hand.

Then stopped before her fingers could touch.

The sensation she felt was different.

It wasn’t just one layer.

‘There are even two layers of ki.’

A fierce ki that seemed like it would tear her to shreds the moment she touched it.

Ki that had been honed solely for battle and victory.

The corners of Hiyori’s mouth turned up.

Just how strong was this human?

“I’m starting to wonder if I came all this way from Kyoto for nothing.”

“Huh?”

Hiyori, who had been muttering to herself, shook her head.

“Nothing. Nothing at all. Haaa! I need to work harder too.”

Rather than motivation, it was a difference that erased what little confidence she had, but what could she do? She had to chase after him little by little.

“Then let’s go. To work hard.”

“Oh, yeah. See you again, Jinhyeok.”

Hiyori linked arms with Se-yeon and waved her hand vigorously.

I waved back at the two as they walked away.

But when did those two become so close?

If they’re linking arms, doesn’t that mean they’re really close?

I scratched my head and went into the house.

And then.

“Momooooo!”

I called for my chubby friend.

“Why are you calling me!!”

Momo came running over and screeched to a sudden stop.

I scooped up Momo and went up to the rooftop.

Then I held out the carving knife I had obtained during the siege.

I wasn’t sure if our Teacher Daemomo would like it.

Even though there was mithril, it was only about the size of a fingernail.

But contrary to my worries.

“Wooooo!!”

Momo clenched her fists like Doraemon and let out rough breaths.

“What is this! It’s amazing!”

“I got it as a special reward from the Saintland siege.”

“Why are you giving it to me now!”

“Well. It just ended up that way somehow.”

I decided not to mention that I had briefly forgotten about it.

I had been busy right after coming down – going to the Mythic Tower and dealing with the guys who fired missiles.

“Teacher Momo. Could you possibly do something with the black dragon’s scales using this?”

It was good that I had obtained plenty of those precious scales, but I couldn’t handle them and was just letting them sit idle.

Ihwa, who had received one of the scales, also seemed to have found no method yet, as there was no news from her either.

“Mmm! That’s right! Ellia’s not here?!”

Momo, who had looked around quickly, opened the Infinite Warehouse.

And she came out struggling with a bundle of scales.

Momo spread the scales across the rooftop and picked up a carving knife.

I sat down quietly beside her and clasped my hands together.

Please cut well!

After slicing up and down several times for a moment.

“It’s cut!”

Momo held out the scale that had been cut in two.

Yes!

I gave Momo a rough high-five.

Long live mithril.

“But you have to slice up and down several times! The blade is really small!”

“Right. And there are so many scales too.”

Perhaps because I showed a slightly worried expression.

“Tsk tsk tsk!”

Teacher Daemomo waved her plump finger left and right.

“No need to worry! Momo’s hands are super fast!”

“As expected…! I believed in you!”

Smack!

Another high-five.

“But Master! What are you going to use this for!”

The countless worries I’d had since obtaining the scales.

The first thing I thought of was simply making armor.

Since there were many scales, I thought about making armor for my friends.

But Seira, Renia, Dark, Ellia, and Camilla all shook their heads.

-I already have my own armor, so I’m fine.

-Armor? I don’t need it.

-I don’t die though?

-Ugh, I hate it because it makes my body heavy?

-I’m stuck in the rear anyway, so I’m fine.

Even Yodel Ranger Kancheo had shown reluctance.

The reason was that when he tried on the centipede elder armor last time, it rattled and interfered with stealth and covert movement.

So I changed direction.

To weapons. But so they could also be used for defense when needed.

“Here like this, in this way, scratch scratch.”

When I explained what I wanted in detail.

“Mm! Momo completely understands!”

Momo jumped up and stuck out her thumb.

After giving her a thumbs up as well, I continued speaking.

“Momo, isn’t there anything you want to make with the black dragon scales? There are plenty, so anything.”

“Momo has to protect the bag!”

Momo held out the Bag of Peltz, the Infinite Warehouse Owner.

“I’m going to wrap it around here!”

“Let’s do that, let’s do that. The Bag of the Infinite Warehouse Owner wrapped in black dragon scales!”

“Totally great!”

She seemed very satisfied.

Teacher Daemomo put her hands on both cheeks and smiled brightly.

“Then Momo will work!”

“I’ll bring you snacks!”

“Yes! I’m counting on you, Master!”

Momo, who had tied a band around her forehead, jumped into the pile of scales.

Momo began cutting at an invisible speed.

Although the quantity was enormous, since she was a friend with fast hands, it seemed like she would finish it quickly.

‘Bring Momo some snacks.’

I stretched as I stood up.

Tower of Despair tickets had already piled up to five.

I should hurry and go clear them.

Just as I was about to go down to get snacks for Mohwang.

Ding!

An unexpected notification sounded.

[##&*$@ residing in the Tower of Despair requests a conversation with Player Yoo Jin-hyeok!]

Vatican City, Rome, Italy.

Cardinal Carlo Monchine, who was in charge of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, frowned.

Carlo leaned back in his chair and looked at the hundreds of documents piled beside him.

These were things collected from between the 81st and 90th floor sections.

‘It seems like I can catch it, but I can’t quite reach it.’

He hadn’t been interested in that section from the beginning.

No matter how much divine power it possessed, it was still a monster after all.

But as time passed, he couldn’t help but pay attention to the materials that were collected one by one.

That was because the traces left throughout the Tower strangely matched the Bible.

‘Is there truly some connection between the Tower of Despair and reality?’

It was hard to see it as a coincidence.

Unless someone had taken the Bible from the Tower of Despair and copied it, this level of similarity would be impossible.

Among them, there was a part that particularly concerned him.

# When Yahweh saw that the god had already defiled himself, even speaking his name was abominable.

# Therefore the Lord confined him in deep darkness and sealed him with a seal, saying, ‘You shall never again see the light of the world until the appointed time comes.’

# The being who heard those words said: I too am a being imbued with the same divinity as Yahweh, so as long as Yahweh does not disappear, I too will not disappear, and as long as I do not disappear, I will appear again.

This wasn’t excerpted from the Bible.

It was a passage completed by assembling words and sentences that appeared repeatedly in that section.

This time he moved his hand to the Bible.

And opened the page he had looked at beforehand.

# That god was called a god, but his glory was like rotten water, and his words made human souls sick.

# Therefore Yahweh bound him and cast him into the abyss, closing the door and saying, ‘This seal is not eternal, so you must always watch over it so that it never awakens.’

Carlo rubbed his eyes and let out a deep sigh.

Besides this, passages referring to that evil could be found throughout the Bible.

One who possessed divine power stronger than anyone and could have succeeded Yahweh, but was ultimately corrupted and cast into the abyss.

One whom Jesus Christ and the twelve disciples watched over so that he would not awaken.

He could hardly imagine it.

If such a being truly existed, if it were reborn as a monster in the Tower, just how strong would it be?

Cardinal Carlo Monchine clasped his hands together.

And he prayed.

That no one would approach this abyss.

That the confined being would never awaken.

Jinhyeok, who had called over Seira and Camilla who were nearby, cheerfully shouted.

“Accept conversation!”
