Only I Have Two Towers Episode 274
The Brilliant Light of Ferocity
Azriel raised his head.
A foreign energy that had suddenly begun pouring forth.
Why hadn’t he noticed when something like that had come so close?
“You must be dull from just waking up.”
I drew a sly smile.
I said this, but in truth, I had hidden it.
With the combination of the talisman and scales I received from Camilla.
I flicked my finger to summon the scales.
Behind me, waves of scales swirled quietly.
Above, the god Camilla had summoned was revealing itself through the dark clouds.
“There was once a kingdom that prospered through the blessing of an ancient god. Divine energy flowed through the royal palace 24 hours a day, and newborn children were born wrapped in light. The people of the kingdom served and revered this light as their god, hope, and future. Thanks to this, they enjoyed a golden age for a very long time.”
I pointed at the dark clouds with my finger.
“But one day, dark clouds appeared without warning. Something dwelt within them. A being with hundreds, thousands of mouths. That being’s name was Sikgwangshin, the Great God of Light Devouring. Despite its threatening appearance, Sikgwangshin didn’t destroy the kingdom or steal its treasures. It simply ate.”
Azriel, who had been listening to the story, twitched the corner of his mouth.
And not long after.
“Kahahaha!!”
He burst into savage laughter.
I’ll admit I flinched for a moment at such an ominous aura.
But that was all.
“Sikgwangshin? To think you could do anything to me with such a rootless minor deity. How arrogant and ignorant.”
“Interesting.”
“Interesting?”
“The god that kingdom worshipped said exactly the same thing. Right up until the moment the last light of the royal palace was devoured.”
“That god must have been worthless as well.”
Sikgwangshin descended through the dark clouds and shot toward Azriel.
Even so, Azriel didn’t care.
Rather, he spread both arms wide toward Sikgwangshin.
“Come then, eat to your heart’s content! I am the brilliant and infinite light of ferocity! Do you think a mere minor deity could digest this light?!”
Hearing the roar-like cry, I quietly drew a smile.
Azriel would have been right.
If this had been an ordinary Sikgwangshin.
Crunch!!
Sikgwangshin bit Azriel’s shoulder with its gaping mouth.
“!!!”
The reaction was immediate.
Azriel, who had confidently spread his arms, reflexively pulled back his upper body.
He realized it the moment he was bitten.
Forget digestion—the light from the bitten area had completely vanished.
Azriel’s pupils shook greatly.
‘That can’t be.’
Though brief, he had felt it clearly.
A sensation he could never forget despite the long years that had passed.
‘Impossible.’
He had definitely felt it, but couldn’t accept it.
That had fallen to a dimension from which it could never return.
But why was he feeling that power here?
He glared down at Jinhyeok below.
‘A remnant.’
Before being sealed, Azriel had left traces of light here and there to plan for the future.
There was no law saying he couldn’t do the same for the devourer of darkness.
That human must have picked up a fragment somewhere and mixed it into that minor deity.
‘Meaningless struggling.’
His mind was at ease.
The devourer hadn’t returned.
Only a very small fragment remained.
‘Of course.’
As a being called divine, he could be certain.
That was a dimension even gods couldn’t dare touch.
No matter what was done, it could never be brought forth.
Crack!
Rage surged.
He was ashamed of himself for not realizing something so obvious and being startled, even briefly.
Crash!!
He struck down with his fist into the gathered pool of light.
Unforgivable.
He would definitely kill.
The human who had brought him such humiliation.
“Legion. Arise.”
Ding!
[Divine Azriel awakens the sleeping army!]
The pool of light erupted like an explosion, scattering in all directions.
Giant monsters rising one by one.
Among them was Belia Blackwell, who had fallen earlier.
She was no longer human.
Belia created axes with both hands while radiating brilliant light.
“Your servant receives the sacred command…”
Crunch!
‘Oh.’
Jinhyeok frowned.
Once again, Belia couldn’t finish her words.
Sikgwangshin fell at tremendous speed and devoured Belia.
Such a cruel scene.
“Kill that minor deity.”
All soldiers turned toward Sikgwangshin in unison.
Azriel also created a spear from one arm and aimed it at Sikgwangshin.
“And.”
[A being hidden in the depths of the earth opens its eyes!]
[Those who became part of the light take form again!]
“Follow that tail and kill the one who summoned such a thing.”
I turned my head at the vibration rumbling beneath my feet.
Though distant, they were so large I could see them clearly.
A lion with a mane of light and a basilisk that looked similar to Tehalram.
I drew in a breath and pulled out the Eternal Cold Iron and sword.
No need to worry about that side.
Azriel was radiating the light of complete blindness in real time.
I just needed to mark this side.
“We receive the god’s command!”
“I obey the command of God!”
“In the name of the divine!”
The Divine Army charged toward Sikgwangshin with resounding shouts.
I moved my fingers to position the swirling scales above their heads.
And after spinning them even faster.
Swish.
I brought my hand down.
Sikgwangshin, imbued with Judas Iscariot’s inverted cross.
Due to that influence, they could no longer receive divine protection.
In other words, the attacks from the hardest scales would be effective.
Kwagagagagagak!!!
The Divine Army began to be torn apart.
The legion shattered as noisily as their massive size.
I extended the Eternal Cold Iron toward the flashing light and caught Azriel’s wrist.
Azriel hesitated while trying to throw his spear.
“Do you think a mere human can stop me?!”
Azriel emitted light.
This was truly what one would call divine power.
Even with my strength stat amplified by Ganjangmakya’s unique effect, my body was being dragged.
[Skill Borrowing – Dark Castro]
The Collector’s unique skill that borrows techniques, traits, and treasures from hero cards that haven’t been inscribed on blank cards yet.
Ding!
[Borrowing Immortal Dark Castro’s unique skill – Frost Rain!]
[Level 130 skill. Player Yoo Jin-hyeok’s level 139]
[Can be used without power nerf!]
I had secretly hoped for the treasure Frost Storm like last time.
I guess I was being too greedy.
As I used it without delay, hundreds of ice spears fell where the Eternal Cold Iron was bound.
Kwagagagak!!
The ice spears pierced straight down, severing Azriel’s arm.
As the pierced area gradually became tainted with the curse of bitter cold.
‘Oh my.’
Azriel used his other hand to cut off his arm.
He had a more macho side than expected.
Kwajijik! Kwadeuk! Kwadeudeud!
Meanwhile, Sikgwangshin continued to devour Azriel and the Divine Army without rest.
Though it wasn’t obvious since Azriel regenerated immediately after being eaten, Sikgwangshin’s belly was certainly being filled.
As evidence, not only had the number of mouths increased from when it first appeared, but each tooth had become even sharper.
Moreover.
‘It’s having an effect.’
Regeneration wasn’t free.
At some point, Azriel’s descent had stopped.
Thanks to that, he was continuing the battle with only his torso exposed down to his waist.
Of course, even that was disgustingly huge, making it hard to even make eye contact.
“I’ll crush you all!!”
[Divine Being Azriel prepares to emit countless rays of light!]
He seemed very angry from being nibbled at from all sides.
An enormous amount of light gathered toward Azriel’s center.
I changed direction and threw my body toward Sikgwangshin.
Then I used the scales to create a giant wall in front.
Just in case, let’s make it three layers thick.
Kwagagagagagak!!!
Soon after, sharp arrows of light began pouring down.
As expected of Black Dragon Drakan’s scales.
They didn’t pierce through.
However, the light’s force was tremendous, slowly pushing me backward.
I maintained the scales with one hand while holding Soul Harvester with the other.
It wasn’t wise to engage in a contest of strength with a divine being.
I should use Resonance Divine Technique to escape the light’s range and find an opening…?
I frowned.
For some reason, the power of the light arrows was weakening.
Shortly after, they stopped completely.
I moved the scales aside slightly and poked my head out.
“Kuhaaaaak!!”
Azriel spat something out.
Black soot poured down from high in the sky.
Even while falling, it was devouring the nearby light.
The effect had finally manifested.
Of course, separate from this good news.
“Ugh.”
My face scrunched up.
I knew better than anyone.
Just how disgustingly awful the potions made by Star Alchemist Ellia tasted.
“Kraaaaa!!!”
He looked angrier than ever.
Azriel swung both arms roughly.
Regardless, Sikgwangshin rushed in and bit at his body from all sides.
When Azriel tried to shake it off, I interfered with his path using scales and the Eternal Cold Iron.
“Foolish human!!”
During a brief struggle, Azriel spoke to me.
“What could possibly change that makes you struggle so desperately! You cannot annihilate me! With such fragments, you cannot completely devour me!! In other words, you cannot win! Never!!!”
“We’ll see about that.”
“And even if you desperately hold out here, what good will it do?!”
Azriel looked down at Jinhyeok and raised the corner of his mouth.
“Soon, all your companions who created this minor deity will meet their deaths.”
What he had unleashed outside were ancient creatures he had collected long ago.
Powerful weapons so strong that even the Divine Army couldn’t handle them, requiring his direct intervention.
He had sent every single one of them to the cliff where these dark clouds began.
He had known from the beginning.
That the human before him lacked the power to harm him.
In other words, the moment this minor deity was annihilated, all obstacles preventing his complete descent would disappear.
“Soon you’ll start hearing it. The sound of your defeat approaching.”
Azriel leaned down as he sneered.
Jinhyeok stared up at such an Azriel in a daze.
“Puhup… Pahahahahaha!!”
He couldn’t hold back any longer and burst into laughter.
It was the first time since Momo let out a Taepodong missile-grade fart in the swimming pool.
The first time he had cracked up this much.
“What’s so funny?”
Jinhyeok finally stopped laughing and opened his mouth.
“The things outside – you caught them anyway, didn’t you? That means they’re weaker than you.”
Jinhyeok shook his head and stretched his lips into a smile, following Azriel’s lead.
“You can’t even handle me alone, yet you’re putting on airs.”
Just as Azriel widened his eyes and was about to say something.
Jinhyeok held up one finger.
“They should have arrived by now, right? Your pets. Now then, one.”
“What are you….”
“Two.”
A moment of silence.
“Three.”
As soon as the voice reached their ears.
“!!!”
Azriel’s eyes turned toward the cliff.
“Kuheoeoook…!!!”
“Kueooo…!!!”
Momo and Kancheo opened their mouths wide.
“Huh.”
Even Camilla, drenched in sweat, let out a hollow laugh.
It was a sight that left them with no choice but to react that way.
