Only I Have Two Towers Episode 033

Aura

22nd Floor of the Tower of Despair.

Hundreds of arrows and rocks were fired from the fortress watchtower.

An attack that literally filled the entire field of vision.

There were no gaps, making it seem meaningless to dodge anywhere.

So, he decided not to dodge.

Pababababapak!!

Arrows pierced his entire body.

The only unharmed area was his face, covered by his arms.

Even so, he didn’t slow down.

He continued to charge forward.

Kwang!

He took the flying rocks head-on with his body as well.

His head turned slightly, but his speed didn’t decrease nor did his direction change.

“Don’t tell me that’s it?”

The immortal Dark raised the corners of his mouth as he approached the fortress watchtower.

He thought they’d have at least one decent attack since they were gathered in such numbers, but this was all they had.

How utterly disappointing.

“If that’s the end, then die.”

Dark kicked off the ground and leaped toward the fortress watchtower.

Dark swung the chains on both arms in a large circle.

The body of the Orc hit by them was instantly torn apart.

Arrows continued to pour down, but he didn’t care.

“Come on, Orcs. This hurts less than being poked with a toothpick yesterday.”

While all the fortress watchtower Orcs’ attention was focused on Dark.

Seira, who had arrived on the other side, swept across the top of the fortress watchtower.

Not long after, Jinhyeok also climbed up to the fortress watchtower with Kancheo on his shoulder.

Dark smiled at Jinhyeok even while slaughtering Orcs.

‘He doesn’t look like it, but he works people pretty hard.’

Before entering the tower, Jinhyeok had given a brief briefing about the 22nd floor.

The 22nd floor where ranged attacks pour endlessly from the fortress watchtower.

To clear it, you need to advance while creating cover using the surrounding terrain.

But since the orthodox method takes too long, we’ll take a shortcut, he said.

-Sparkle sparkle sparkle.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jinhyeok looked at Dark with sparkling eyes.

As a result, Dark was assigned the tank role, taking the lead and absorbing all the arrows and rocks.

“Puhehehehehek! Fast! Much faster than before! General!”

Jinhyeok, who had climbed up to the fortress watchtower, looked back.

‘Amazing.’

He had jumped up a height of at least 10 meters in one go.

It was thanks to the Soy Sauce Night buffs stacking up from cutting down dozens of Orcs on the way.

“It’s sticky!”

Kancheo removed the flesh stuck to his fur.

Jinhyeok was also covered in green blood all over his body.

A state that already made him worry about laundry.

“Krararararara!”

An Orc that had been lying down charged at them.

It looked quite angry, probably because the fortress watchtower had been swept clean.

A large axe was raised, but it never got to swing down.

Jinhyeok immediately dove in and swung his sword at the Orc’s abdomen.

Compared to Orcs or goblins, they’re famous for having tough hide that deflects most blades.

Sgaaaak!!

But it couldn’t withstand Jinhyeok’s buffed sword.

The split Orc Warrior collapsed forward.

[You have cut an enemy with your sword! The Soy Sauce buff activates and the player’s strength increases! Current stacks: 37.]

Jinhyeok drew a pleased smile.

‘I want to level up quickly.’

The sword Soy Sauce Night, which lets you experience improved combat power in advance when stats increase later.

Thanks to it, his desire for growth was properly ignited.

Having directly tasted his strengthened state, his motivation for training became even more solid.

Swoosh!

Seira cut the throat of the last Orc Warrior.

Ding!

[All Orcs have fallen! The fortress watchtower has been captured!]

The objective of this 20th floor section is to attack and recapture the city occupied by Orcs.

The player’s role is to break through continuously starting from the fortress watchtower until capturing the central main castle.

[You have cleared the 22nd floor!]

[Player Yoo Jin-hyeok’s level has increased! Level 30 achieved! All stats increase!]

[Experience points of cards that participated in battle increase! Yodel Ranger Unit Commander Kancheo achieves 0 damage dealt to enemies in this battle!]

‘Huh?’

He looked at Kancheo, who was going “Puhehehehe!” on his shoulder.

Come to think of it, from the moment they entered the tower, he had just been sitting on his shoulder chattering away.

‘It was ambiguous.’

The 22nd floor was a battlefield where shooting wasn’t effective due to the fortress watchtower’s solid walls.

Still, it’s fortunate that he received experience points from the system.

Ding!

[Collector level 30 achieved! New unique trait, Weapon Collector is added!]

# 3 slots are provided!

# Weapons currently held in inventory can be equipped to slots!

# Player stats increase according to the level and grade of weapons equipped in slots!

# Special effects of weapons are shared with manifested cards!

As soon as the trait was added, he equipped Soy Sauce Night to a slot.

[The Soy Sauce Night buff is applied to currently manifested Seira Kinketon, Kancheo, and Dalk Castro!]

“Oh?”

“What is this?! My body feels incredibly light!”

Seira, Dark, and Kancheo moved their bodies around to test it.

While not dramatic, their physical abilities had increased enough to be immediately noticeable.

‘A walking buff dispenser.’

Jinhyeok nodded with a satisfied expression.

Now he could be of even more help to the party.

[Black Knight Order Swordsmanship – Basic reaches level 10! You can learn Black Knight Order Swordsmanship – Beginner!]

[Card slots expand from 4 to 5!]

# Current cards held 3/5.

## Seira Kinketon.

## Kancheo.

## Dalk Castro.

After that, messages about obtaining Orc hide and weapons and other accessories appeared in succession.

While he was looking at what he had obtained this time, he heard struggling sounds from beside him.

“What are you doing? Kancheo.”

Kancheo was struggling desperately to pull out something embedded in the fortress watchtower.

“I’m taking this! It looks expensive!”

He approached for a closer look.

Though the light had faded considerably, it was an ore that held a mysteriously brilliant glow.

“You can’t take this.”

Jinhyeok reached his hand toward the ore.

[This is a gemstone belonging to the Tower of Despair! Cannot acquire due to insufficient authority!]

Authority.

Something countless Players had once tried to uncover.

Unable to find even the smallest clue, they had concluded that ‘items belonging to the Tower of Despair cannot be acquired.’

‘What a waste though.’

Jinhyeok clicked his tongue.

If only he could take it, he could make a lot of money.

Ding!

[Collector Level 30 Achievement Bonus! You have been granted an entry ticket to the 3.5th Floor of the Tower of Myth!]

# Must be used before entering the 4th Floor of the Tower of Myth!

# Requires a top-grade subspace bag that is not tower-exclusive for use!

[Exiting the 22nd Floor of the Tower of Despair!]

A few days later.

[You have cleared the 23rd Floor of the Tower of Despair!]

[You have cleared the 24th Floor of the Tower of Despair!]

[You have cleared the 25th Floor of the Tower of Despair!]

[You have cleared the 26th Floor of the Tower of Despair!]

[You have cleared the 27th Floor of the Tower of Despair!]

[You have cleared the 28th Floor of the Tower of Despair!]

[Exiting the 28th Floor of the Tower of Despair!]

Jinhyeok stretched as he emerged from the Tower.

Then he gave Dark a thumbs up.

Dark had once again played the tank role magnificently on this floor.

Despite all the attacks he took, his appearance without a single wound was as amazing as ever.

Jinhyeok checked his status window.

[Yoo Jin-hyeok]

# Class: Collector.

# Level: 34.

# Blank Cards Owned: 1 True Card.

# Black Knight Order Swordsmanship – Basic, MAX.

His climb through the Tower of Despair was still going smoothly.

He achieved SSS+ grade every time, and his Achievement gauge would soon be completely filled.

His level and stat improvements were also progressing without any obstacles, but.

“Hmmmm.”

There were two things that weren’t going as planned.

First was that despite his intense training, Black Knight Order Swordsmanship – Beginner wasn’t being generated.

Previously, Jinhyeok had acquired Kancheo’s stealth movement trait without using a Blank Card.

Based on that experience, he had tried to save his Blank Card this time too, but the desired beginner level wasn’t learned, and instead the basic swordsmanship, which he thought ended at 10, had strangely advanced one more stage to MAX.

Perhaps due to that influence, his stats seemed to be rising faster too.

Step.

He walked over to Seira, who was maintaining her sword.

“Seira. How long did it take Black Knight Order members to advance from basic to beginner level?”

“For those with outstanding talent, about 5 years. It’s not just about swordsmanship, but also requires enlightenment about other things.”

“Oh.”

To think he had tried to get that for free.

He must have been too greedy.

Jinhyeok quickly used his True Blank Card.

[Inscribing Seira Kinketon’s trait, Black Knight Order Swordsmanship – Beginner onto the card! Upon reaching level 10, you can learn Black Knight Order Swordsmanship – Intermediate!]

Seira nodded as the energy permeated Jinhyeok.

“A good choice. Through yesterday’s training, Master has perfectly built the basic foundation. If you can advance quickly to the next stage, nothing could be better.”

Black Knight Order beginner swordsmanship seeped into his mind and body.

Up to this point, it was similar to when he had acquired the basics.

Whoosh.

But there was one difference.

Jinhyeok stared blankly at the energy flowing from his sword.

Seeing this, Seira wore a subtle smile.

The name of that energy was aura.

It was the reason why advancing from basic to beginner took so much time.

Comprehending aura.

This was fundamentally different from physical training or sword practice.

The moment of enlightenment varied completely from person to person, making it impossible to predict the timing.

Not a few knights had collapsed unable to endure this stage.

And Jinhyeok had accomplished this in an instant.

“Commander! Today this chicken is…”

Rustle rustle.

Kancheo, who had been running over with a delivery app open, hesitantly stepped backward.

Just from slightly touching the aura, his fluffy fur was sliced off and fell away.

“I, I’ve become asymmetrical.”

“Kancheo! Sorry!”

He quickly withdrew his aura.

To think it was this dangerous – he’d need to be careful at home.

“It’s okay. It grows back.”

Jinhyeok quickly ordered the chicken that Kancheo wanted.

Returning to Seira, Jinhyeok swallowed nervously.

‘Wasn’t aura something used by master-level knights?’

But here it was aura from the beginner level – just how strong a group had the Black Knight Order been?

‘Anyway, nice!’

Aura! His shoulders suddenly rose with pride.

But then his brow furrowed again at his next thought.

There was still one more thing that wasn’t going as he wished.

[Tower of Myth 3.5th Floor Entry Ticket]

# Must be used before entering the 4th Floor of the Tower of Myth!

# Requires a top-grade subspace bag that is not tower-exclusive for use!

This was the problem.

The 30th Floor of the Tower of Despair was right ahead.

After clearing it, he would naturally have to ascend to the 4th Floor of the Tower of Myth.

He needed to use the ticket before then, but the usage conditions were too strict.

‘At least 50 billion won.’

He had pondered for days, but there was simply no way to obtain a subspace bag.

But he couldn’t just throw away the entry ticket either.

‘Is there no choice?’

After agonizing, Jinhyeok picked up his phone.

His father had once said something.

That in life, there are times when you need to be shameless.

It seems that time has come.
