Only I Have Two Towers Episode 026

Inside the glacier prison

A man sitting on a high mountain peak, looking around at the scenery.

The atmosphere was leisurely and tranquil.

Seeing this, I became convinced.

Surely the owner of this memory must be a gentle person who loves nature and peace.

Crack!

‘No, that’s not it.’

It was a complete misjudgment.

Before long, his vision began to be stained with blood.

The man wasn’t sitting on the peak to take a rest.

He had been waiting.

For enemies climbing the mountain to kill him.

The enemies came flooding in like a tide.

There were so many that just seeing them was breathtaking.

‘What kind of wrong must he have done to be targeted like this.’

The types of enemies that appeared were diverse.

Mages, warriors, rogues – it seemed like everyone in the world wanted to kill the man.

Thwack!

An axe flew into the man’s chest.

“Huh…!”

Since it was a first-person perspective, Jinhyeok unconsciously let out an exclamation.

The axe from before was just the beginning.

After that, various weapons flew at him, turning the man’s body into a mess.

Though he couldn’t feel the pain, he was certain.

If Jinhyeok had been the owner of this memory, he would have cried in pain.

But the man was different.

“Keke!!”

Far from crying out, he burst into laughter as if this pain was enjoyable.

And then he kept moving.

Though he allowed countless attacks, the man’s movements didn’t dull.

Even with spears, arrows, and swords stuck all over his body, he went even more berserk, slaughtering enemies.

The memory began flowing quickly as if fast-forwarded.

The battle continued endlessly.

When the battle ended, the man still stood alone.

A monster that would never fall.

Rustle.

The memory ended with the man standing on a mountain of corpses.

Seira and Kancheo were staring blankly at Jinhyeok.

“Master, are you alright?”

“You stopped moving blankly!”

“I’m fine. I saw a memory just like before I met you guys.”

“What kind of feeling was the memory?”

“Hmm.”

Jinhyeok rubbed his chin.

He wasn’t sure how to express it, but.

“A feeling that it wouldn’t be ordinary?”

That seemed about right to say.

“You don’t need to worry. General.”

Kancheo pulled out the toy gun he bought at Dongdaemun today.

“As the vice-captain of the Yodel Rangers, I’ll definitely maintain discipline! You can leave it to me!”

He reached out and patted Kancheo’s twitching head.

He decided not to mention that he was more anxious when he saw your memory.

“Shall we keep going.”

He climbed the ice stairs and entered the dark entrance.

[Entering the Thousand-Year Glacier Prison!]

All three stopped walking at the same time.

Though nothing was immediately visible, they could sense quite a few presences.

It seemed like there were easily hundreds at least.

[The beings guarding the prison are awakening!]

Jinhyeok surveyed the prison structure in front.

It looked like a small castle built around a large gate.

It seemed like this time they were the ones doing the siege.

[3rd Floor of the Tower of Myth clear mission: Conquer the castle guarding the glacier prison!]

The system belatedly displayed a message as if confirming Jinhyeok’s thoughts.

Still unfriendly as always.

“They’re coming.”

Seira drew her sword.

Kancheo also put away his gun and pulled out his minigun.

Swooooosh!

A barrage of arrows rained down from the front.

Seira swept her sword in a long arc, deflecting the arrows.

Jinhyeok and Kancheo hid behind an ice pillar.

“Block once more and we’ll move forward.”

“Understood!”

Kancheo climbed up the pillar and aimed his minigun.

Arrows shot at Kancheo were once again neutralized by Seira.

Ratatatatatatata!!

Explosive clay shot from the minigun began covering the front.

The battlefield became chaos with explosions happening everywhere.

However, even with this barrage of explosions, the castle made of thousand-year ice didn’t collapse.

Only a few giant icicles hanging from the ceiling fell down.

Boom…!!

The battlefield was obscured by Kancheo’s gunfire.

Seira didn’t miss this opportunity.

Seira shot forward with tremendous aftershock.

Kancheo also switched his weapon to a rifle and shot explosive clay at specific points.

Meanwhile, Jinhyeok surveyed the battlefield once more and took a step.

“General? Where are you going?”

“I’m going up to check that thing out.”

At the ceiling corner near the Ice Castle.

An unidentified ice was glowing blue.

That light was shooting straight into the castle, and somehow it seemed to be making the castle sturdy.

“I don’t think I can shoot it from here!”

“It’s fine. You provide covering fire for Seira. I’ll be back.”

Kancheo gave a chubby thumbs up.

He didn’t tell him to hide because it was dangerous.

Because he had already confirmed on the 20th floor that his master fought well.

Jinhyeok used stealth and entered the side path he had spotted earlier.

Even if not visible, Kancheo was aware of his position through presence detection.

He wouldn’t shoot anywhere inappropriate.

…He wouldn’t shoot, right?

Moving forward in stealth for a moment.

A small figure covered in ice revealed itself.

A Frost Ghoul guarding the Ice Prison.

The creature holding a massive arrow aimed at Seira charging toward the castle.

Shing.

Jinhyeok drew his sword and stealthily approached, stabbing the Frost Ghoul in the chest.

He had worried this one might also be thousand-year ice that would deflect his sword, but fortunately it seemed to be ordinary ice.

“Guh… rgh?!”

The Frost Ghoul ranger, who hadn’t noticed Jinhyeok’s presence at all, turned its head.

A ranger’s role is scouting and targeting the enemy’s rear.

They have to be sensitive to enemy presence, yet it had completely missed Jinhyeok.

Thud.

After quietly laying down the lifeless Frost Ghoul, Jinhyeok continued forward.

After learning presence detection from Kancheo, Jinhyeok had come to understand which actions were easily detected by enemies.

Now he was instinctively avoiding those actions as he moved.

Crack. Crunch.

Jinhyeok moved stealthily, hidden by the loud noises from the floor below.

The Frost Ghouls on the upper floor fell one by one without a sound to such a Jinhyeok.

Ding!

[You have acquired the trait ‘Stealth Movement’ from Yodel Ranger Captain Kancheo!]

# All presence generated when entering stealth state is greatly reduced!

# You understand how to move with minimal presence in any environment!

# Unless they are an excellent tracker, they will not be able to find the player’s location!

‘Oh?’

Jinhyeok, who had been moving while holding his breath, examined the message that appeared.

This was the first time he knew.

That this kind of trait acquisition was possible.

It was good news that Blank Cards weren’t everything.

Slash!

After killing two or three more Frost Ghouls, he looked down below.

Kancheo giving him a thumbs up from far away.

“Commander is the best! That’s how you do it! I was going to teach you later, but you’re doing well on your own!”

It was fortunate he had killed all the Frost Ghouls on the upper floor beforehand.

Otherwise, Kancheo would have given them away.

After giving a thumbs up in return, he headed toward the glowing ice he had seen earlier.

Just getting near it released tremendous cold air.

Jinhyeok shivered once and thrust his sword into it.

Crack!

As the ice lost its light, one of the ice pillars blocking Seira’s entry crumbled down.

‘Nice.’

Confirming his prediction was correct, he quickly destroyed the remaining ice as well.

All the pillars protecting the castle collapsed.

Screech!

The blocked Seira entered the castle.

What followed was truly swift.

It took less than a minute for all the Frost Ghouls guarding the castle to fall.

[The castle guarding the Thousand-Year Glacier Prison has been conquered!]

[A path that has allowed no one entry for thousands of years reveals itself!]

Passing through the path revealed a massive prison.

Perhaps because the castle had just been breached, all the ice blocking the prison had also disappeared.

Jinhyeok, Seira, and Kancheo, who had walked for quite a while, stopped in their tracks.

They listened carefully.

Clank. Clank. Clank.

The sound of metal friction coming from inside the dark prison.

That sound was getting closer and closer.

And finally, a muscular man revealed himself.

He appeared to be in his mid-thirties with white hair swept back coolly.

Thick blue chains were wrapped around both his wrists.

He seemed to be the source of the friction sound they had just heard.

“Yo, boss.”

The man raised one corner of his mouth in a long smile and lifted his hand in greeting.

A former neighborhood tough guy who was famous for fighting well and playing hard back in the day.

That was Jinhyeok’s one-line impression of the man.

[The sole prisoner confined in the thousand-year ice reveals himself!]

[A being that many tried to kill but could never kill! The strong ones of that era judged this being dangerous and built the Thousand-Year Glacier Prison for him!]

[The immortal Dalk Castro is freed from confinement!]

‘Immortal?’

The memory of what he had seen before entering came back to him.

Dalk, who wouldn’t die no matter how much he was stabbed and slashed.

It was possible because he originally possessed the power of immortality.

Ding!

[A new card is added!]

Ten Thousand Year Cold Iron.

It wasn’t an unfamiliar name to Jinhyeok either.

It was a metal that frequently appeared in martial arts novels.

“Ugh.”

As expected, it wasn’t just ordinary iron.

Just having it right in front of him released tremendous cold energy.

“Sorry, sorry. It’s because of this.”

When Dalk raised both hands, the wrapped iron chains disappeared from view.

Thank goodness.

If he had to keep wearing it continuously, the heating bill would have been astronomical.

As Jinhyeok, who had been clinging to Kancheo and shivering, was about to say something.

Step.

Seira walked forward.

For some reason, even the sword she had sheathed after the battle was drawn again.

“So it was you. Dalk Castro.”

‘Huh?’

Seira hadn’t seen the message from just before.

Yet the fact that she said his name meant they were acquainted.

Like with Kancheo, he had thought the two were from different eras or worlds, but apparently not.

“Oh? Well, well. If it isn’t the commander of the Black Knight Order.”

“Seira, do you know each other?”

Instead of Seira, Dalk, who had curved his lips into a long smile, opened his mouth.

“Know each other? Of course. She’s the first human I couldn’t kill.”

Dalk pointed to the prison behind him.

“And the very person who threw me into this place.”
