Only I Have Two Towers Episode 264
Light is Needed
A massive altar spread out before my eyes.
Yodel Ranger Kancheo climbed onto my shoulder and surveyed the surroundings.
“It doesn’t seem like there are any demons here!”
“Why aren’t there any!!”
“If there aren’t any, that’s good! Why are you complaining!”
Momo let out a deep sigh.
She must have secretly hoped for demons given the magnificent name of Seven Deadly Sins.
‘Well, well.’
I smiled as I climbed the stairs.
Seeing the altar’s form and the statues surrounding this place, I was certain.
This was the place where I helped the Forces of Light seal the Dark Entity in the pre-awakening game.
This time, I was in the completely opposite position from that gameplay.
I had to wake up the friend sleeping here.
“Captain! It looks like we should insert it here!”
Kancheo, who had run up first, pointed to the groove in the center.
It was the perfect shape to match Saint Peter’s Cross that we had stolen from… no, officially received from the Vatican.
I quickly climbed up and inserted the sculpture.
[The Master Sculptor’s Key awakens the altar!]
[The altar’s stopped time begins to flow again!]
“Whoa! The statues are moving!”
“Is the apocalypse coming?!”
The Kanmo Duo clenched their fists and breathed heavily.
I also swallowed dryly as I watched the altar’s transformation.
“Master. Something’s coming.”
I turned my head at Seira’s call.
Something wall-like filled one entire direction.
What the hell was that?
I leaned my body in that direction to get a better look.
And not long after.
“Holy.”
I couldn’t help but let out a small gasp.
It had seemed stopped because it was so far away, but that wasn’t the case.
The wall was steadily moving.
It was a wall of disaster made of water, rising dozens of apartment floors high, commonly called a tsunami.
Ding!
[Those who imprisoned the sins of sloth and gluttony in the altar wished for this place to disappear forever!]
[A bundle of disasters created by countless forces gathering! The altar survived the disaster by stopping time, but as the key was inserted, time began to flow again!]
[The disaster can no longer be avoided!]
[Behold the disasters that will pour forth from now on!]
I almost reached out to Message to make it stop.
Appearing late only to mock us by telling us to face disaster.
Clank! Clank! Crrreak!
The altar was still busy transforming.
It seemed we had to protect it until this was finished.
What a weak altar friend.
“Captain! Something’s falling from the sky!”
Oh my.
No wonder my head felt hot.
Dozens of rocks falling while drawing red tails.
I figured this was roughly what a junior version of Meteor would look like.
“Something’s coming from the opposite side too.”
It wasn’t called a bundle of disasters for nothing.
One side had a tsunami, the sky had meteors, and from another side came a pile of debris mixed with rocks and trees.
“It’s huuuuge!”
I walked toward the excited Momo.
A building-sized golem was added too.
Camilla, who had blown out a long stream of smoke, reached her hand toward the air.
“As long as we don’t take a direct hit, we should somehow manage to endure.”
As the barrier was completed, a translucent shield surrounded the altar.
“I’ll handle the tsunami.”
“I’ll take the opposite side.”
Dark took the tsunami, and Seira took the landslide.
Renia lightly leaped and flew toward the golem.
The remaining sky was to be handled by me, Kancheo, and Ellia.
Clank!
I set up a heavy machine gun pointing toward the sky.
“Finally!”
Kancheo quickly ran over and finished preparing to fire.
I turned my gaze to Ellia, who tapped my shoulder.
Below the stairs, a legion of monsters with divine wings appeared, breaking through the ground.
[The divine Guardians who detected the intrusion awaken!]
[The Altar of Sloth and Gluttony is a place that must be absolutely protected! The Guardians will sacrifice their lives to protect the altar!]
“Who dares to covet the altar.”
An ominous voice was heard.
Monsters raising their respective weapons and aiming them at us.
What kind of market day was this?
Seeing them all gather like this.
“Kancheo, Ellia. I’m counting on you for the sky.”
“Roger!”
“Don’t worry.”
I left the rear to them and moved toward the stairs.
“Sergeant Momo, come hold the ammo belt!”
“Got it!!”
Was it thanks to coordinating during the final siege battle?
The Kanmo Duo finished preparing to unleash everything in a quick decisive battle.
And not long after.
Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!!
The muzzle began spitting fire.
Hundreds of light streaks sprayed into the sky.
Kwaaaaang!!!
A massive explosion unlike any I’d seen before occurred.
‘Oh my.’
Magic circuits that emitted light every time the trigger was pulled.
They were perfect partners.
The magic circuits that accelerated bullets and the unique trait ‘Clay Rides the Wind’ that amplified power proportional to flight speed.
I nodded with a pleased expression.
Written as Yodel Ranger, read as tactical weapon.
That was exactly what Kancheo was.
[Iron Brand]
Hundreds of swords floated and poured down below.
Various weapon collecting effects triggered with each strike.
Ganjangmakya’s stacks accumulated and waves of snowy plains and lava erupted everywhere.
Holding greatswords in both hands, I kicked off the stairs.
Then I dove into the center of the surviving group.
“Death to the intruder!”
“Protect the altar!”
They shouted roughly, but there was no need to listen.
[Judas Iscariot’s Inverted Cross]
After activating the effect to dispel divine protection.
[Najeber-style Quick Draw 1st Sword – Night Crow Hunt]
I swung two greatswords, scattering sword energy.
The guardian horde was instantly cut to pieces and scattered across the ground.
Screeeech!
It seems they weren’t called guardians for nothing.
In the midst of it all, three or four guardians avoided the quick draw and counterattacked.
After twisting my body to dodge, I lifted my leg.
Thwack!
I crushed one’s head with my heel.
Stab!
I thrust a greatsword into another, piercing its heart.
And the remaining two.
[Black Shadow Island]
I cut them in half with a straight line.
“Whew!”
As I released my held breath and inhaled again, cool air seeped in.
The tsunami that had been surging forward as if to devour the altar immediately stopped moving.
The water disaster was properly frozen and fixed in place.
Craaaack!!
Instead, a tsunami made of pitch-black aura rose from the opposite side.
The aura tsunami instantly surged forward, swallowing the pile of debris.
Thanks to that, it was cleanly erased to the point where you couldn’t tell what was originally there.
“Is it over already?”
Renyah, who had reappeared beside me, cracked his neck.
Looking around, the golem had also disappeared.
It must have been too easy an enemy.
Now what’s left is… huh?
“We should go in.”
Renyah, who saw the same thing, kicked off the ground first.
I quickly followed Renyah into the barrier.
Craaaack!!!
Meteor debris poured down covering all directions.
Perhaps because the explosion was large, it was broken into very small pieces.
How much time had passed like that?
Thud… thud.
The altar that had been moving busily regained stability.
Ding!
[A Dark Entity trapped in the depths reveals itself!]
It seems it wasn’t called a Dark Entity for nothing.
Pitch-black smoke that appeared with the message fills the entire view.
[An entity possessing the sins of sloth and gluttony among the seven deadly sins!]
[No one could stop this entity’s sloth and gluttony! Not even beings with divinity!]
Perhaps because impressive-looking messages kept appearing.
Gulp!
Even while advancing through the smoke, I swallowed dry saliva.
Could it be Judas Iscariot!?
I arrived at the edge of the altar like that.
The thick black smoke also receded accordingly.
The entity of sloth and gluttony finally came into view!
“Huh.”
“What the heck is this.”
Since it was called sloth and gluttony, I expected it to be tremendously large, but it wasn’t.
A small build about halfway between Momo and Kancheo.
And for some reason.
“What! Why is it sleeping!”
Snooooore!
It won’t come out of dreamland.
“Wake up! How long are you going to sleep!”
Kancheo and Momo rushed over and shook it vigorously.
Even so, it showed no intention of waking up.
Ding!
[An entity born from darkness who came to bear the deadly sins of sloth and gluttony!]
[A new card is added!]

Cold sweat trickled down the side of my head.
I hadn’t read through the detailed unique traits and skills yet.
Even so, I was certain.
Some kind of peculiar friend had appeared.
[You have cleared the 23rd Floor of the Tower of Myth!]
[Exiting the 23rd Floor of the Tower of Myth!]
Seopangyo House.
At Seira’s strong request, I ordered chicken for the first time in a while.
Crunch!
The juices of the chicken leg that burst out with just one bite.
Truly excellent.
After chewing and swallowing, I raised my head again.
Kancheo and Momo were playing Jenga while eating chicken.
I watched for a moment before speaking up.
“Kanmo Duo, question!”
“What is it!”
“Why are you playing Jenga on top of Nia?”
“It’s more fun because she goes up and down! And look at this!”
Kancheo picked up a piece of boneless chicken and brought it in front of Nia’s mouth.
Nia’s mouth naturally opened and made the chicken disappear.
Then she started snoring again.
“Master. Why won’t this friend wake up?”
“I think it’s probably because of this.”
I turned my gaze to the status window.
The status ailment added to Nia: Starvation.
Below it was this explanation.
# Light Devourer Nia borrowed the power of sloth and entered endless sleep just before starving to death.
# This is deep slumber caused by the deadly sin of sloth! In this state, nothing can kill Nia.
“If it’s starvation, can’t we just feed her lots of chicken!?”
“No! We need to feed her pig’s feet!”
I slowly shook my head.
It wouldn’t be chicken or pig’s feet.
Before awakening, in the game when sealing the Dark Entity, the first thing I did was eliminate all the light around it.
Back then, rather than the concept of starving it, I simply removed the light because it would revive by absorbing it.
But applying Nia, who has the deadly sin of gluttony, to the Dark Entity, it wouldn’t be wrong to say she was starved.
The beings who sealed Nia at the altar in the tower probably used a similar method.
That would explain this starvation status ailment.
Ellia rubbed her chin.
“If it’s the deadly sin of gluttony, she’ll eat an incredible amount, right? Where can we get all that light?”
“That’s right. Ellia didn’t go to the Tower of Despair because she was interpreting ancient texts.”
I gave a thumbs up and smiled.
“No need to worry. A delicious restaurant will appear soon.”
“A delicious restaurant?”
I nodded.
The name of the delicious restaurant is Azriel.
The situation had changed from when I played the game before awakening.
Now that the Dark Entity Nia is my friend, let’s take her there to eat.
Until her stomach bursts!
