Only I Have Two Towers Episode 031

Clear Justice

“…?”

Lee Mi-jin drew a question mark.

What was happening?

At some point, the halberd had stopped and could no longer advance.

Jinhyeok’s hand was placed on the center of the halberd.

‘Wh-why won’t this move!!’

She struggled with all her might, but the halberd wouldn’t budge.

This was impossible.

She had a synchronization rate exceeding 20 percent.

She didn’t think this nobody in front of her could be higher level than herself.

Swoosh!

Jinhyeok pulled the halberd toward him.

Lee Mi-jin’s center collapsed as she was dragged along.

She let go of the weapon, thinking she would fall over at this rate.

Swiiiiish!

Had even 0.1 seconds passed since the weapon was taken?

“!!!”

The halberd’s blade flew toward Lee Mi-jin’s neck.

Lee Mi-jin hastily released her ability, canceling the halberd’s summoning.

“Huff… huff.”

Lee Mi-jin, having created distance, touched her own neck.

‘What, what the hell is this bastard.’

It was absurd.

The act of killing another person.

It’s an action that normal people would inevitably feel repulsion toward.

Unless one was a psychopathic murderer, especially someone like Yoo Jin-hyeok who appeared to have no experience even hurting someone, let alone killing.

Even if a weapon came into one’s hands, it would be natural to hesitate before deciding to swing it.

Jinhyeok didn’t hesitate.

Like a flawlessly programmed macro, he swung the moment the weapon came into his hands.

Without his expression changing one bit, and precisely at a vital point that could kill a person.

Thud.

Jinhyeok looked down at his hand where the halberd had disappeared.

They say awakened classes are countless and varied.

Indeed, there are many fascinating abilities.

“What’s your class? Being able to summon weapons is convenient.”

“You seem to be misunderstanding something.”

Lee Mi-jin frowned.

“You don’t think you’re stronger than me just because of that one time, do you?”

“Of course not.”

He shook his head.

He wasn’t making such a mistake.

In the instant Lee Mi-jin swung the halberd, his training sessions with Seira came to mind.

When Seira swung her wooden sword, there truly wasn’t a single opening to be found.

But Lee Mi-jin was different.

Full of openings.

These were movements that could only be shown by someone who had put everything into this one strike.

“If that’s not it, then why are you so…”

Lee Mi-jin, who had summoned her halberd again, kicked off the ground.

“Relaxed!!!”

‘Again.’

He watched Lee Mi-jin flying toward him.

And he was certain.

Sorry to Kancheo, but this attack was even more sloppy than when Kancheo swung a baseball bat saying he wanted to try baseball someday.

But he wouldn’t let his guard down.

He wouldn’t become arrogant either.

He timed his movement to create distance and avoided Lee Mi-jin’s attack.

Lee Mi-jin gritted her teeth and charged again.

He picked up a steel rebar that was scattered around the construction site.

“Are you kidding me!?”

“Sssssss.”

He inhaled and captured Lee Mi-jin’s movements with his eyes.

Jinhyeok moved to Lee Mi-jin’s side, timing it with when the halberd would be swung.

Lee Mi-jin also saw Jinhyeok moving.

But only her eyes reacted.

Her body, which couldn’t react at all, continued the attack motion she had been making.

Even though there was no enemy to cut in that direction.

Thwack! Crack!

The rebar struck her left elbow and the back of her knee as it passed.

There was no hesitation or fumbling.

He had done this hundreds of times against orcs and ogres.

“Guh!”

Lee Mi-jin’s balance collapsed and she fell to one knee.

She dropped the halberd she was holding due to her elbow being shattered in one blow.

Tremendous pain as if she’d been hit by a blunt weapon.

Just how much strength would one need to make such an attack possible with a steel rebar?

“You said your name was Lee Mi-jin? You seem to be greatly mistaken about something, so let me tell you.”

Terrified, Lee Mi-jin slowly turned around.

Her pupils shook violently with fear.

“I’m stronger. Much stronger than you.”

Jinhyeok raised the rebar.

“Uh… uh… w-wait…!”

Craaaaaack!!!

The rebar cleanly struck the back of her neck as it passed.

Lee Mi-jin couldn’t even scream.

Her cervical vertebrae shattered into pieces, ending her life.

“Whoooo.”

Jinhyeok exhaled deeply.

Then he raised his hand toward the 2nd floor of the abandoned factory.

Dark, who had been leaning against the railing, waved his hand back lazily.

Red blood was also soaked into his eternal blade.

There had been 15 people waiting in the abandoned factory, excluding Lee Mi-jin.

Jinhyeok had detected this with his presence sensing as soon as he arrived and manifested Dark.

And they were currently sprawled at Dark’s feet with their bodies torn apart.

“Unexpected. I thought I’d have to take care of taking lives for you. Don’t you sometimes see friends who break down from their first kill?”

Dark, wiping blood from his face, spoke to him.

Seira quietly watched Jinhyeok with both hands placed on the magic sword Tarkan.

“Unnecessary. Unlike you, who has no concept of justice itself, Master has clear justice.”

Killing one’s own kind is naturally a completely different matter from killing monsters.

Seira had seen many people collapse under that weight during her time as a leader.

That’s why she could be certain.

Jinhyeok, who had clear boundaries of justice, would never collapse.

“Are you saying he’ll overcome the weight well?”

“It’s different. The master doesn’t even perceive things outside his boundaries as weight that needs to be overcome. There’s no need to endure or overcome anything in the first place. He simply killed beings that needed to be killed. That’s all.”

Having finished speaking, Seira turned around.

She was heading back to Nodeul Island.

“Dark! Take care of these steel bars!”

Jinhyeok shouted loudly and left the abandoned factory.

Dark watched Jinhyeok’s retreating figure.

“Keke!”

The corners of his mouth turned up.

Since the fight began, Jinhyeok’s eyes had never wavered even once.

Not even at the moment he took the woman’s life.

“A being that will never collapse…”

Dark trailed off and smiled pleasantly.

“This is how my master should be.”

After laughing for a while, Dark moved away from the railing.

“Hey, raccoon.”

“I’m a yodel.”

“You heard what the master said, right? Clean up properly.”

“Am I in trouble?! The general didn’t tell me to manifest!”

“Can’t you figure it out? What’s more thorough than blowing it all up?”

Dark waved his hand dismissively and released his manifestation.

Since he didn’t know the way back to the officetel, he planned to manifest again when Jinhyeok returned home.

Kancheo perked up his ears and shrugged his shoulders.

Then he pulled out a bunch of explosive clay from his chest and scattered it throughout the abandoned factory.

Timing it with when the clay hit the ground.

Swoosh!

Kancheo also released his manifestation.

KABOOOOOOOOM!!!

Nodeul Island Cafe.

Cheon Se-yeon bit her nails while staring at the clock.

-Hunter Cheon Se-yeon!

The part-timer who had stopped Cheon Se-yeon as she was about to leave after checking the parking lot.

The message delivered afterward was unbelievable.

‘Please wait at the cafe.’

Of course, she hadn’t been sitting idle all this time.

Though she decided to wait first in case their paths crossed, she had already requested her connections, including Jin Yun-ho from the Hunter’s Guild, to search for that vehicle.

Just then.

Ding-a-ling.

The bell at the entrance rang.

“Oh!”

The part-timer who confirmed the customer’s face shouted.

Cheon Se-yeon naturally looked up and her eyes widened.

“Yoo Jin-hyeok!”

There were many eyes watching, but she didn’t care.

Cheon Se-yeon jumped up and rushed to Yoo Jin-hyeok.

“I’m a bit late.”

“Is that what’s important right now? Are you hurt anywhere…!”

She was about to ask if he was injured anywhere.

But she decided to stop.

He was too clean, far too clean.

Like someone who had just showered and left home.

“Should we sit at that corner table? You’re too famous.”

“Ah.”

Only then did Se-yeon look around.

The cafe manager approached them.

“Hunter Cheon Se-yeon. Would you like to go up to the 2nd floor?”

“Wasn’t it closed because it’s closing time?”

The manager lowered his voice.

“I’m a huge fan…! Please give me just one autograph before you leave.”

“Of course.”

Yoo Jin-hyeok and Cheon Se-yeon headed to the 2nd floor with their coffee.

Se-yeon observed Jinhyeok walking ahead of her.

She had worried he might be enduring something difficult, but he didn’t seem to be particularly troubled.

As soon as they sat down, Yoo Jin-hyeok pulled out the bizarre potion crafting box.

Since it would be wrong to interrogate someone who had just arrived, Se-yeon took a breath and focused on the box for now.

“What about the materials?”

“I brought them.”

Se-yeon pulled out three items from her inventory.

Seeing them, Jinhyeok’s eyes shook violently.

“Th-this is dark matter?”

“Yes.”

Jinhyeok was shocked again by Se-yeon’s nonchalant answer.

He couldn’t help it.

Each one easily cost over 2 billion won.

Thinking ‘this is indeed the world those people live in,’ he carefully placed the materials Se-yeon handed him.

“Should I turn it? Once I turn this, it’s done.”

“It’s fine.”

“Here we go.”

Jinhyeok pressed the pattern on the box.

As the box began spinning while emitting bright light, Se-yeon clasped her hands together.

‘Please be dark attribute! Please be dark attribute!’

Jinhyeok across from her also clasped his hands.

‘Come out. Come out. Come out.’

He hoped it would work on the first try.

That way he could use the remaining attempt elsewhere.

Shortly after, a list of potions appeared before Jinhyeok.

“Is it there?! Is it not?! Is it there?!”

“Calm down. I’m looking.”

Perhaps because the materials were good, there seemed to be many more options.

“Ah.”

Jinhyeok, who had been scanning through, opened his mouth.

“What?! It’s not there?! Ugh!”

Se-yeon buried herself in the sofa, thinking ‘that’s just how my life goes.’

It seemed like clearing the 83rd floor was now out of reach.

Behind Se-yeon, Jinhyeok created a potion.

And with a slight smile, he handed the potion to Se-yeon.

“Huh…?”

Cheon Se-yeon receives the potion and reads the system description.

“Uhhhhhhhh…!”

She rubbed her eyes several times, but there was no mistake.

[Potion that Imbues Darkness]

# Your weapon becomes imbued with the dark attribute.

# The effect lasts for 5 days.

“Woooooooh!!”

Cheon Se-yeon screams and hugs Jinhyeok tightly.

How long had she been waiting for this moment?

She hadn’t cleared the 83rd Floor yet, but she felt certain.

She could clear it.

If she had this potion, that is.

“Se-yeon. My, my head….”

He had tried to stay still as much as possible.

But if Se-yeon applied just a little more force, his head would probably break, so he quickly gave her a signal.

“Ah, I’m sorry. I was so happy that I unconsciously did that.”

Se-yeon released Jinhyeok and showed a bright smile.

Then she stared at Jinhyeok and bowed her head 90 degrees.

“Thank you so much. I really, really, really needed this.”

Watching Se-yeon rejoice, Jinhyeok also smiled.

With this, the Phoenix’s Breath debt was completely repaid.

So then, what should he make with the one remaining use?
