Only I Have Two Towers Episode 027
Dark Attribute
‘Oh ho. So it was Seira.’
The Dark I saw in my memories was truly invincible.
I wondered who could have brought such a monster to the Ice Prison, and he was right beside me.
“This is so exciting!”
“Indeed.”
I stood alongside Kancheo, watching the conversation between Seira and Dark.
It might sound odd to say this in such a tense atmosphere, but it would have been perfect with some popcorn.
Seira pointed his sword at Dark.
Just when I thought I should intervene.
“Master, this bastard is a crazy murderer. You won’t find even a speck of chivalry or justice in him.”
‘He does seem that way.’
If Seira was a rock that steadfastly walked the righteous path, then Dark was wind that wasn’t bound by anything.
Their personalities were also opposites – if Seira was calm water, then Dark was blazing fire.
Everything about them was incompatible, so there was no way they’d like each other.
“However.”
Seira sheathed his sword, returning it to its scabbard.
“As a fighter for my master, he’s more than adequate.”
A strong warrior acknowledged even by Seira, the leader of the Black Knight Order.
It seems the impression I got from the memories I saw earlier wasn’t wrong.
“Kekeke. Let’s get along well, Captain.”
“Don’t misunderstand. I have no intention of getting along with you.”
“Then there’s nothing I can do.”
Dark nodded and put his arm around Jinhyeok.
“Master, nice to meet…”
Before Dark could finish speaking, Seira’s sword was at his throat.
“Show respect to your master.”
“How prickly. Even if I’m a thug, my loyalty to my master is absolute. I was just trying to greet him.”
Dark shrugged and stepped back a few paces.
Jinhyeok chuckled and approached Seira.
“It’s okay, Seira.”
Only after patting his shoulder did Seira lower his sword.
Dark seemed fascinated by this sight and was clicking his tongue.
“I’ve greeted the master, now hey there fluffy one. What’s your name…”
Click!
“Hey newbie gray-hair! Where are your honorifics?! Do you want to go flying?!”
“What, does everyone here pull out weapons the moment you say something?”
“General! Can I discipline this newbie?!”
“Go ahead. Just don’t cause a ruckus at the officetel.”
Establishing hierarchy should be left for them to sort out among themselves.
Kancheo, frowning deeply, dragged Dark into the Ice Prison.
“Good luck, Vice-Captain Kancheo.”
Jinhyeok swallowed dryly.
For the taciturn Seira to offer such encouragement.
Dark must really rub him the wrong way.
KWAAAAANG!! BANG BANG BANG!! BOOOOM!!!
Thunderous explosions echoed from inside the prison.
So much for establishing discipline – he’d unleashed explosive clay with gusto.
And shortly after.
“Sir! Yodel Ranger Vice-Captain Kancheo reporting!”
Kancheo’s cry came after being put in his place.
When the two reappeared, Kancheo was sitting on Dark’s shoulder.
Seira openly displayed his discomfort.
[You have cleared the 3rd Floor of the Tower of Myth!]
[You have conquered the impregnable Ice Castle!]
[Player level increased by 2! Current level: 29!]
[Strength, Endurance, Agility, Toughness, and Mana stats have increased!]
[Experience of Seira Kinketon, leader of the Black Knight Order who conquered the castle, increased by 50%! Current experience: 91%]
[Level of Kancheo, Yodel Ranger Vice-Captain who handled disruption, has increased! Current level: 72. Current experience: 40%]
[Entry condition for 4th Floor of Tower of Myth: Clear 30th Floor of Tower of Despair]
[Exiting the 3rd Floor of the Tower of Myth!]
A specialized weapon shop located in Gangbuk-gu.
Shop owner Kim Jae-seok gazed at the box before him with a pleased expression.
While the options weren’t great, it was a weapon that could change the user’s attack attribute to dark.
He’d heard that the Hunter’s Guild was looking for this type of weapon at high prices.
Naturally, this was information only weapon dealers would know, so he could buy it cheap from players.
“What a steal.”
Kim Jae-seok hummed while maintaining the weapon.
He was already smiling at the thought of selling this and expanding his shop.
Ding-a-ling.
“We’re closed for today. I’d appreciate it if you could visit again tomorrow.”
“Really? It’ll just take a moment.”
A woman with purple bob-cut hair walked up to the counter.
“Haha. I’ve already put away all the items for sale.”
“That’s fine with me.”
The woman immediately pointed at the counter with her chin.
The dark attribute weapon he’d just purchased.
“I came to buy that.”
Kim Jae-seok shook his head with a troubled expression.
“What should I do? There’s already a place I’ve agreed to sell it to.”
“Oh come on, mister.”
The woman raised the corners of her mouth and leaned in.
“Why are you lying? There’s been no talk of a deal. I’ll pay better than them. How much do you want?”
“Ahem.”
Kim Jae-seok cleared his throat and studied the woman.
Actually, the buyer didn’t necessarily have to be the Hunter’s Guild.
Anyone was okay as long as they paid well.
Kim Jae-seok held up one hand.
“5 thousand?”
“5 billion won.”
“Wow. Is this thing that expensive?”
“It’s an item with that much value.”
“How much did you buy it for, mister?”
“That’s a trade secret. No merchant would tell you that. If you don’t like the price, then our deal ends here.”
Judging by her attitude, the woman wasn’t prepared to buy the weapon at this price.
Kim Jae-seok closed the box.
“Mister, are you awakened by any chance?”
He frowned at the unexpected question.
“You’re not, huh. Then you don’t have an inventory.”</Human: You are an ELITE PROFESSIONAL TRANSLATOR for Korean web novels (COMMERCIAL QUALITY).
The woman who spoke meaningfully drew a sinister smile.
“I can take it for free, so why would I pay 5 billion?”
“Please leave immediately. If you don’t leave, I’ll call the police…?!”
“Police? When are you going to call them?”
A massive halberd appeared in the woman’s hands.
It was a weapon that even a decent adult man would struggle to lift, yet despite her slender arms, the woman handled the halberd with ease.
“I’m strong, right? I may not look it, but my synchronization rate is over 20 percent.”
“I-I’ll call the Hunter’s Guild!”
“So then…”
Shwiiiiing!
The flying halberd struck down on Kim Jae-seok’s shoulder.
“Aaaahhh!”
“When are you going to call them? That damn Hunter’s Guild.”
The woman burst into laughter as she grabbed the box and turned around.
“What a wonderful world. Even weapons that hurt someone.”
Snap!
With a flick of her fingers, the halberd disappeared.
“Can be hidden so easily like this. Well then, I’ll put this to good use.”
“Ugh…”
Kim Jae-seok clutched his shoulder and desperately began crawling across the floor.
His phone lay a short distance away.
If he could just make a call, hunters would arrive quickly.
Just as Kim Jae-seok finally reached it and desperately stretched out his hand, a shadow fell across his vision.
“Thought I left, didn’t you?”
He wasn’t given any time to answer the question.
A massive halberd came flying into his field of vision.
That was the last scene weapon dealer Kim Jae-seok ever saw.
[Exiting the 21st Floor of the Tower of Despair!]
“Graaah!”
Jinhyeok stretched as he emerged from the tower.
The 21st floor where trolls and ogres appeared mixed together.
Since it was a simple subjugation mission, he was able to clear it in less than 10 seconds.
*
[Yoo Jin-hyeok]
# Class: Collector.
# Level: 29.
# Experience: 70%.
*
Jinhyeok made a dejected expression.
This was a first.
Clearing a floor without his level going up.
It seemed to be because he had gained too many levels at once in the Mythic Tower.
“Is it normally this boring? It only took a few seconds.”
“Anyone listening would think you defeated them all. You didn’t do anything and just played around.”
Seira, who normally wouldn’t say anything, glared at Dark.
“It’s not that I didn’t do anything, I was trying to do something but it all ended before then.”
“That’s the same thing. In the end, you didn’t do anything.”
Dark had entered the 21st Floor of the Tower of Despair right after coming out of the Mythic Tower.
He was trying to roughly figure out the method, but Seira swept everything away, so it seemed he might feel a bit wronged.
“No fighting at home.”
“Fine.”
Seira frowned and turned around.
She didn’t like Dark, but she couldn’t disobey her master’s orders.
“Let’s just order some food.”
“Sounds good!”
“Hm? Are we going to eat food?”
“Of course we have to eat. We’re all doing this to make a living.”
A sudden curiosity arose, and Jinhyeok asked a question.
“What did you eat to survive in prison? I didn’t see any guards or anything.”
“I didn’t eat anything.”
“Excuse me?”
“I can’t even remember when I last ate something. Was it a hundred years ago? Two hundred years ago?”
Well, this was Dark who had the nickname of the Immortal.
If he didn’t die from being stabbed by spears and arrows, it would be strange in its own way if he died from starvation.
“Try eating once.”
South Korea’s delivery food that even Seira, who lived in the same era, was completely satisfied with.
Surely Dark would like it too.
“Well, it doesn’t matter if I don’t eat, but let’s try it once. It’s important for comrades to eat together.”
Dark chuckled and put his arm around Jinhyeok’s shoulder.
Seira, sitting in the corner, flashed her eyes, but didn’t impose additional sanctions due to the ‘no fighting at home’ rule.
“Today it’s the Jokbo naengmyeon set.”
“Not chicken?!”
Kancheo made the expression of someone who had lost their country.
“It’s just as delicious as that, so you can look forward to it.”
“Really?! Sounds good!”
Seira was also looking this way with an expectant expression.
Jinhyeok ordered three large Jokbo sets and three naengmyeon from the app.
“It’ll come in 40 minutes. Until then, everyone rest.”
Kancheo immediately flopped down, and Dark looked around here and there, finding the officetel fascinating.
Watching Dark, Jinhyeok rubbed his chin.
‘If I engrave Dark’s characteristics, could I also become immortal?’
Just like last time when he couldn’t learn Seira’s characteristics and skills, meeting the conditions probably wouldn’t be easy, but if it were possible, it would be incredible.
It would be achieving the dream of immortality that even China’s First Emperor couldn’t accomplish.
Jinhyeok smiled with dreams in his heart as he took out the potion crafting box.
Two uses remaining.
Perhaps because he had obtained what was needed to enter the Mythic Tower, the refill conditions had disappeared.
He had planned to make potions like crazy after becoming rich, but it was disappointing.
He picked up his phone and pressed the call button.
# Hello?!
An answer came back in less than a second.
# Yoo Jin-hyeok! Are you really going to keep ignoring my KakaoTalk messages?!
“Sorry. I just came back from the tower.”
# Right.
Cheon Se-yeon had just checked the Pantheon update a little while ago.
# But the fact that you called means…?
“Yes. I have uses left on the box. I was thinking of trying to make a potion that Se-yeon needs.”
# Yesssss!
“I don’t know if what you want will come out. You remember the types of materials you need from last time, right?”
# I’ve got them all ready.
“What? Already?”
# I’m really good at counting my chickens before they hatch, you know. Let’s meet tomorrow right away!
Jinhyeok drew a smile.
It seemed like clearing the 83rd Floor was truly desperate for him.
“Alright. Then let’s meet tomorrow evening.”
After exchanging a few more words and hanging up the phone, Jinhyeok lay down on the floor.
A day of cleanly completing both the Mythic Tower and Tower of Despair.
Today was another fulfilling day.
