Only I Have Two Towers Episode 057

Najeber-Style Baldo

I had asked during training once.

“Why is the skill name ‘Najeber-style’?”

This type of naming usually follows someone’s title or name.

Most other skills had intuitive names like Black Moon Night, Black Shadow Flash, etc.

“He was one of the members of the Black Knight Order. An excellent knight. Shall we work on your stance?”

I sheathed my sword and lowered my body.

Seira continued speaking while slowly correcting my posture.

“I first met Najeber in a village that had been devastated by monsters. Najeber’s injuries were severe at the time. Especially the wound to his eyes was so bad that he would have to live the rest of his life as a blind man.”

“That must have been devastating.”

To lose your sight overnight.

Just imagining it was a dizzying tragedy.

Seira nodded.

“I thought so too. In fact, Najeber didn’t speak for quite a while. So I took Najeber to a priest I knew well. I asked him to take good care of the child so he wouldn’t break down. And when I was about to leave, Najeber spoke for the first time.”

“What did he say?”

“He asked me to take him with me. Said he wanted to become strong.”

Seira said she answered firmly.

That if you can’t see, you can’t fight. So she couldn’t take him with her.

It was cruel but realistic.

Fighting in darkness where you can see nothing.

Even for the strongest warriors, surviving in such conditions was nearly impossible.

“Then that child spoke even more firmly than I did. Said he would become strong and prove that I was wrong. So I took him with me, and indeed, it wasn’t long before I had to admit it. That I was wrong.”

“Oh, so he did become strong.”

“Najeber understood exactly his strengths and weaknesses. Usually people try to overcome their weaknesses, but Najeber was the opposite. He focused on one path so intensely it seemed reckless, all to maximize his strengths.”

Since he couldn’t see, it was impossible to navigate complex terrain or track sword paths flying at him in real time.

So Najeber made a choice.

To end battles before such variables could occur.

“Najeber’s battles always ended in just one strike. The moment his sword left its sheath, victory or defeat was decided.”

“That’s quite extreme.”

“Extreme, but strong. When it came to sword drawing, no knight could match that child. Especially in darkness, Najeber’s sword drawing was like a nightmare. Enemies would lose their heads before they even realized Najeber was there.”

Afterward, Seira incorporated Najeber’s sword drawing into the Black Knight Order’s swordsmanship.

Thanks to this, the knight order’s combat power increased significantly.

Of course, there wasn’t a single one.

Not one knight in the Black Knight Order surpassed Najeber the sword drawing master’s technique.

“Haaah.”

I finished reminiscing and steadied my breathing.

Since I had just picked up this sword, it wasn’t familiar in my hands.

But it didn’t matter.

The sword Najeber used was similar in length and thickness to this one.

[Najeber-Style Baldo, 1st Sword]

As I closed my eyes, the noise filling the surroundings flowed into my ears.

The senses of Najeber the sword drawing master combined with my existing presence detection.

Feeling the firmness of the ground beneath my feet.

I swung my sword with all my strength, yet quietly at the same time.

[Night Crow Hunt]

Blue aura flowing along the blade toward the sword tip.

The aura that reached the end of the blade scattered around in a beautiful circle.

“!?”

The security guards had seen this light too.

But reacting was impossible.

The moment they perceived the light, the aura had already sliced through their bodies.

Pshaaaaa!!

Blood sprayed and screams erupted from the darkness.

“Aaaaah! My, my arm!”

“Guhk…!”

“There’s something in the center!”

“Get him!”

They shouted to catch me, but there was no way they could.

With the dome-shaped ceiling tightly closed now.

Not even a single ray of moonlight penetrated this place.

But why was it?

Surely neither side could see anything.

Slash! Swoosh! Crack!

“Aaaaah!”

“You bastard… Gahk!”

The screams from their side never ceased.

Blue energy struck the security guards with precision, as if piercing through the darkness.

Each time the energy touched them, hot liquid sprayed in all directions.

“Start the generator or open the ceiling, do something fast! Right now!”

The man who had retreated far back shouted roughly.

Bewilderment and exclamation marks were drawn on his face.

‘That’s him.’

The control room that had suddenly lost contact.

The allies who had gone there to check had also lost contact one by one.

That’s why they had executed Plan B early, taking the event venue people hostage.

To restrain whatever had snuck onto the Newcalliope.

But they were a step too late.

Clank!

With a mechanical sound, the Newcalliope’s ceiling opened.

A single ray of moonlight seeped through.

Only then was he revealed.

The culprit behind this situation, who had just cut down a security guard and was lowering his sword.

‘His eyes… are closed?’

And as soon as I realized this.

Click!

The lights that had been off turned on.

Having adapted to the darkness, my eyes instinctively squinted.

“!!”

A sword swung, not missing that opening.

The man’s body, having activated his ability, bounced backward like a spring.

‘Oh.’

Jinhyeok raised his head at the sword that cut through the air.

I had tried to finish it before adapting to the light, but who knew he had such an evasion skill.

I glanced back.

A couple of security guards were also sprawled in front of Jin Seo-hee.

‘Excellent.’

Jinhyeok smiled at Jin Seo-hee, who appeared uninjured.

It seemed he had arrived just in time.

Jin Seo-hee also confirmed that Jinhyeok was safe.

But she couldn’t smile like Jinhyeok did.

The blue energy that had embroidered the pitch-black darkness just moments before.

That light was still flickering before her eyes.

– “The Gangjangmakya has been handed over to a worthy master.”

Jin Seo-hee bit her lip.

It was impossible to imitate even in imagination.

The painting of light that Jinhyeok had drawn.

“What the hell are you.”

Team leader Oh Min-su, who was in charge of security command, frowned.

About thirty security guards scattered in all directions.

There were no high-floor players among them.

But even considering this, the result was incomprehensible.

There were no small fries in the organization Vesta.

Though they might be low in floors, they were all criminals who had made their mark before awakening.

They possessed overwhelming real combat experience incomparable to the humans aboard the Newcallie.

Yet to be swept away so helplessly by just one person, by such a greenhorn.

“I heard you’re called Vesta. Is that right?”

“Who told you that?”

“Someone in the control room.”

“So it was you after all. What did you do to the control room?”

Jinhyeok didn’t answer.

Instead, he glanced at the security guards sprawled on the ground.

“Ha.”

Oh Min-su let out a hollow laugh.

This was troublesome.

He hadn’t heard there would be something like that on the Newcallie.

He slowly organized the situation.

An absurd variable had appeared, but the operation hadn’t failed yet.

The Newcallie had just left Incheon offshore.

If they went a little further, the comrades waiting at sea would join them.

Properly armed players incomparable to the security guards sprawled over there.

“Are you perhaps waiting for comrades? Waiting in the Yellow Sea?”

“…!”

“It would be better not to wait. This ship is going to stop.”

Oh Min-su smiled grimly.

“Nonsense. There’s no one to drive this huge cruise ship.”

The captain and navigators had been dealt with early on.

The automatic navigation had also been disabled beyond repair.

Even if the god of driving came, stopping the current Newcallie would be impossible.

“It’s not necessary. I’ll eliminate the path. Seo-hee, hold on tight.”

“What do you mean by that….”

Kwagagagagagak!!!

The Newcallie shook violently as if it had hit a reef.

“Kyaaaak!”

“Uaaak! What is this now!”

Screams erupted from inside the event venue, but the commotion didn’t last long.

The Newcallie gradually regained stability as if it had never shaken.

“!?”

Oh Min-su, who realized something from the strange sensation, took out his phone.

The current location that didn’t change at all on the map.

It wasn’t some kind of bug.

The Newcallie they were riding had stopped like a lie.

“What is this….”

While he was confused by the incomprehensible situation.

A chill that seeped from the ceiling brushed his cheek.

Oh Min-su’s eyes shook terrifyingly as he turned his head toward the window.

‘The sea… froze?’

Saying it was unbelievable wasn’t enough.

This was impossible.

Oh Min-su slowly shifted his gaze to Jinhyeok.

“What the hell… are you?”

It was different from his confident demeanor earlier.

Fear dwelt in Oh Min-su’s eyes as he looked at Jinhyeok.

Instead of answering, Jinhyeok smiled and raised his head toward the ceiling.

And at the bow of the Newcallie where this chill had begun.

“Now I feel like I can live a little.”

Dark, sitting there, yawned lazily.

The mental stability that came only after the ship completely stopped.

Dark lay down on the deck and enjoyed the refreshing night air.

This current state was just perfect.

Back inside the Newcallie.

Kuwoong…!

Oh Min-su kicked off the ground and flew up.

He wasn’t trying to escape.

Even if he wanted to, it would have been impossible anyway.

There was no way to escape from the middle of a frozen sea.

Therefore, he needed to reverse the situation.

Oh Min-su, who had reached the top, gathered his ability beneath his feet.

He had no intention of attacking Jinhyeok, whose power he couldn’t gauge.

His target landing point was the event venue beyond Jin Seo-hee.

No matter how strong he was, Jinhyeok was still just a greenhorn around twenty years old.

If he cut the throats of those terrified influencer bastards one by one, wouldn’t that brat surrender?

‘I’ll play with them and slowly kill….’

Puuuuk.

“…?”

Oh Min-su looked down.

A black blade that had entered through his back and pierced through his stomach.

Oh Min-su looked behind him.

The woman who had stabbed the sword into him from the ceiling was looking down at Oh Min-su with an utterly indifferent and cold face.

“What the hell….”

At this point, it wasn’t surprising but absurd.

What was that red-eyed woman that she had reached the ceiling before him?

Without time to think long about this question, the sword was pulled out.

Pukwaaaaak!

With blood spraying, his ability was released, and Oh Min-su’s body crashed to the ground.

Oh Min-su fell straight into the fountain.

Crack.

Barely holding onto his fading consciousness, he put his hand into his pocket.

‘Even if I’m going… I should make some companions for the journey.’

And when he pressed the button.

삐이이이이—-!!

A sharp sound struck his ears.

However, if there was a problem, it was that the sound was coming from the pocket on his opposite side.

Oh Min-su frowned as he pulled out the flashing red canister.

“Damn it…”

Boooooom!!
