Only I Have Two Towers Episode 265

Possibility

On the way out after showering.

I smell charcoal from somewhere.

“Kancheo, what are you doing! Hurry up and bring the charcoal!”

“I’m coming right now! Is the fire ready?!”

“Of course! Quickly put the charcoal in here!”

When I went out to the garden, Momo and Kancheo were moving around busily.

Next to them was a pile of incredibly fatty-looking meat.

It’s Tehalram caught from the Sea of Lamentation.

But it hasn’t even been two hours since we ordered chicken!?

“Master, over here! We’re going to grill eel!”

“Captain, hurry over here! You absolutely have to take the first bite!”

If strangers heard this, they’d think ‘Our little ones really take good care of their master,’ but no.

They’re trying to make me a taste tester.

It looks delicious, but whether there are really no problems is still unknown.

“This, this looks exciting?”

Ellia, standing next to the meat, rubbed her hands together.

Ellia’s taste buds are somewhat damaged from tasting all kinds of potions.

She could be called an excellent substitute resource capable of performing the taste tester role in my absence.

Hiss!

Momo lights the fire in one go with a magitech torch.

She brought it from the research lab and uses it incredibly well.

“Master! How should we grill the eel!?”

“There’s salt-grilled and seasoned-grilled. Salt is the fundamental way first.”

I looked at Beila who was following behind.

I could do it myself, but wouldn’t it be better if a professional did it?

“Beila, do you know how to grill eel by any chance?”

“Not eel, but I have grilled similarly shaped fish before. I’ll grill it.”

Beila walked over gracefully and opened the salt container.

Sprinkle sprinkle sprinkle!

Beila sprinkled salt with elegant hand movements, then placed the meat on the grill with tongs.

Sizzzzle!

As the fatty meat went on, a delicious sound could be heard.

Along with a savory aroma that tickled the nose.

It’s not just similar in appearance, but freshwater eel itself.

Then how will the taste be?

“It’s sizzling!”

“I want to eat it quickly!”

“You’ll burn your eyebrows again if you do that.”

“Eh.”

It seems she remembered burning it last time.

The Kanmo Duo quickly stepped back.

“It smells good.”

“Is it health food?”

The smell of grilling eel can bring back even those who left home.

Seira and Dark, Renia and Camilla also appeared.

“I picked this up too.”

Something was dangling from Renia’s hand, and it was Nia, still fast asleep.

‘She really sleeps well.’

Nia, held by her back and drooping down, shows no signs of waking up.

I want to quickly climb to the 90th floor and try to wake her up.

What kind of friend might she be?

“It’s all grilled.”

Beila cuts the meat evenly with skillful hand movements.

Ginger and sauce are set up, though I don’t know when she prepared them.

Eyes focus on me as if by promise.

I walked over with a serious face and wrapped the meat with ginger and sauce, bringing it to my mouth.

It’s always nerve-wracking.

This moment of eating new ingredients.

Pop!

My eyes snapped open.

Tremendous juices burst out the moment I bit down.

The firm yet tender flesh melts and premium oil spreads through my mouth.

How dare I compare such incredible meat to mere freshwater eel.

I offered a sincere apology to Tehalram.

Just as I was about to announce the start of a food broadcast.

Ding!

[Tehalram is a being that was born in the Sea of Lamentation and has lived for ages!]

[Tehalram that lived filled with miraculous divine power!]

[You have consumed Tehalram’s meat! A new stat ‘Divine Resistance’ is created!]

[Divine Resistance greatly increases!]

Jesus Christ.

I held my forehead.

This is another first.

A new stat created just from eating one piece of meat.

It wasn’t for nothing that it was revered as a Remnant of Judgment or a primordial sea creature.

Perk perk perk! Sparkle sparkle sparkle!

I gave a thumbs up to the Kanmo Duo waiting for my signal.

Kancheo and Momo rushed over with chopsticks as if they’d been waiting.

Beila’s hand movements became busy.

Beila grilled the meat without a single error and distributed it to the friends.

“What is grilled eel!! It’s incredibly delicious!”

“The oil is dripping everywhere!”

The friends who each took a bite also stuck out their tongues.

“It’s incredibly delicious. Divine Resistance is rising tremendously too?”

“Master, is eel originally this delicious?”

“It’s basically delicious, but not to this extent.”

I ate another piece of meat served on a plate.

Divine Resistance rose again as if it had been waiting.

I really did well to bring it back.

It looked so fierce and hideous that I was going to leave it behind.

That would have been a disaster.

“Nia! It’s a king-sized wrap!!”

Momo brings over a wrap as big as her own face with who knows how many pieces of meat.

“Momo. Nia can’t eat that much…”

I had to stop talking as the wrap disappeared without a trace.

Nia chewed incredibly fast and swallowed it right down.

Is she really sleeping?!

“Captain! Your phone is flashing!”

He briefly stopped absorbing and walked over to the table.

It was Team Leader Jin Yun-ho.

“Momo. Could you give me some of that prepared meat?”

“Got it!”

Perhaps because there was plenty stacked in the freezer.

She handed over a very generous bundle.

“Keep eating. I’ll step out for a bit.”

They’d be waiting anyway, so let’s hurry and go share the information.

The conversation he’d had with Carlo Montchini at the Vatican in Rome.

Cheon Se-yeon’s house in Hannam-dong, visited after a long time.

Jin Yun-ho, Yun Mi-ri, and Cheon Se-yeon leaned back in their chairs after finishing their feast.

Their faces looked somehow dazed.

“Jinhyeok.”

Cheon Se-yeon, looking slightly stunned, shook her head.

“I’ve never eaten eel this delicious before.”

“Me too. I’ve been moved again since the meat you gave us last time, Jinhyeok.”

Jin Yun-ho, wiping his grease-covered mouth, let out a deep breath.

Then he gave a thumbs up.

“That was truly the best. I feel like I can work even harder starting tomorrow. And to think it even raised our divine resistance.”

“If the Players who need to clear the 81st floor section found out, there’d be chaos.”

He brought his finger up in front of his mouth.

“It’s a secret.”

“Of course. We can’t share something this delicious with everyone.”

“Good things should be monopolized.”

“Exactly.”

The three people nodded while saying scary things.

Cheon Se-yeon leaned forward and asked seriously.

“No, really, where do you get this kind of meat every time? Do you have some hidden magic butcher shop?”

“Or do you run a secret farm? The eel farmers in South Korea should be worried. But is this really eel? It’s impossibly delicious.”

A drop of sweat ran down his back.

Let’s not mention that it’s monster meat that lived in the sea for a long time, or that it looks terribly hideous and bizarre.

There are some truths in this world that are better left unknown.

“O-of course it’s eel.”

Just a slightly very large and strangely shaped eel.

“Anyway, this is something I heard at the Vatican.”

“Yes.”

Jin Yun-ho and Yun Mi-ri straightened their posture.

The two quickly switched to work mode.

The topic change was naturally completed too.

Perfect.

“Team Leader, you told me about the Vatican’s peculiarity before.”

Although located in Italian territory, Vatican City is a strictly independent nation.

Nevertheless, for some reason, the Vatican has no Tower of Despair.

Instead, Vatican Players gained one special privilege.

The ability to enter and exit all Towers worldwide without naturalization procedures.

“Yes. In a way, it’s a privilege that fits well with the characteristics of the Vatican as an institution.”

In fact, the Vatican used this privilege to dispatch Players to Towers in countries that needed help.

This was to climb on their behalf to prevent transference from occurring.

“There’s an island nation called Nauru in the Pacific with a population of less than 10,000. It’s a place the Vatican provides dedicated support to.”

“I’ve heard of it. Vatican Players are stationed there permanently to climb, I heard.”

“That’s right. Two weeks ago, a Player there used an item obtained as a special reward to open a new floor without reporting to the Vatican. It was a 61st floor section, a floor surrounded by black ice with a Named called the Frost Lord. That Named was ridiculously strong, so the Player who opened the floor immediately gave up on clearing it and fled.”

Jin Yun-ho nodded.

It was a common occurrence.

Recklessly opening a strong floor and barely escaping.

Cheon Se-yeon, who had been listening, tilted her head.

“Then isn’t that the end of it? After all, that floor only affects the Player who opened it. And even then, they can give up and choose a regular floor for their next entry.”

“That’s right. That’s naturally what should have happened, but that Named called the Frost Lord appeared shortly after in the Tower of a nearby nation called the Marshall Islands.”

“Did someone in the Marshall Islands also open a floor with the same item?”

“No. The place where the Frost Lord appeared was the 68th floor. A regular floor.”

The three people’s eyes widened.

“It’s not unheard of for Named to randomly appear on regular floors. But the reason the Vatican was in chaos was that the Named talked about the Player who had fled from Nauru. And when they later found and questioned that Player, he said the System told him when he got the special item to open floors that it was a one-of-a-kind item across all Towers.”

“That means… the Named moved between Towers? To another country’s Tower?”

“Yes. And a few days later, a 68th floor transference occurred to the Marshall Islands. Fortunately, it was after the subjugation so there were no monsters, but everything was surrounded by black ice. Meanwhile, the 68th floor transference in Nauru, where the floor was originally opened, was no different from other countries.”

Jin Yun-ho and Yun Mi-ri looked at each other’s faces.

Now they finally understood somewhat.

The reason the Vatican had been so actively telling them not to strengthen the Tower.

“Fortunately, the Marshall Islands is a place the Vatican supports, so no major problems occurred. But what if that Named had flowed into the Tower of some diplomatically isolated weak nation? And if they couldn’t clear it and failed to prevent transference? The Frost Lord would have descended into reality. Because of some completely unrelated country’s Player.”

“I can understand why the Vatican kept the information secret too. The moment this goes beyond possibility and is revealed as truth, it gives major powers justification to interfere with other countries.”

“Exactly. That’s why they were very troubled.”

The three people who had been nodding simultaneously looked at Jinhyeok.

“So did you also agree to give up on awakening the monster you originally planned to, Jinhyeok?”

“No. At first, they strongly insisted on that.”

He smiled.

“I persuaded them. I said that given that divine being’s nature, if I don’t awaken it, it will stir up someone else’s greed and somehow revive anyway. In that case, I’d rather kill it now. Though it’s not certain, that thing is likely a unique entity across all Towers.”

Carlo Montchini had immediately understood.

He too had vaguely realized it through evidence from the Bible and the Tower.

The Divine Realm divine being Azriel.

It was only a matter of time – that thing was a disaster that would appear somehow.

Therefore, if possible, killing it now was the best option.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Drumming his fingers, he recalled Azriel, who had been cosmic horror-level massive.

Even if it was to awaken Nia, the option of not being able to catch it didn’t exist.

Whether it’s a divine being or whatever, he’ll definitely catch it.
