Only I Have Two Towers Episode 081

Did you know?

Qingdao, China.

Jinhyeok and the Tzuyu people boarded the prepared ship.

Xiao Chen and his thirty or so subordinates who had arrived first and taken positions on one side.

Finally, Ryugai entered through the ship’s entrance.

“Lord Ryugai.”

Government official Rumai wore an expression full of worry.

“Are you really sure there won’t be any problems? If something goes wrong, it can’t be undone.”

“Worrying is also fate, Lord Rumai. I am Ryugai, the Dragon of Shandong. Do you think problems will arise?”

Rumai took a deep breath once more.

The reason for his anxiety was nothing else.

What was happening in Qingdao now had not been reported to the government.

Because Ryugai had persuaded Rumai.

Let’s leave out these noisy parts and cleanly report only the acquisition of the Imugi and the elimination of the fugitives.

Rumai, who was the leader of this exploration expedition, had accepted this because the picture looked prettier this way.

“Won’t variables arise if a conflict occurs with Lord Xiao Chen?”

“That won’t happen. Xiao Chen’s purpose is only to take that human called Yoo Jin-hyeok. Since he doesn’t know about the Imugi’s existence, he won’t be excessively greedy. Anyway, don’t worry and board. Let’s depart.”

“Understood. I’ll trust only Lord Ryugai.”

Rumai nodded and boarded the ship.

And he stared at Jinhyeok and the Tzuyu people who were already on board.

‘Foolish guys. If they had followed obediently, they could have saved their lives.’

So far, not a single awakened person has naturalized in China.

The reason was nothing else.

If you can’t have it, eliminate it – that’s China’s principle.

If persuasion doesn’t work, just make it as if it never existed in this world.

That Korean called Yoo Jin-hyeok is the same.

If he had given Ryugai what he wanted and withdrawn, he could have returned to Korea.

But once he boarded this ship, everything went wrong.

“We will depart.”

The ship carrying everyone departed from Qingdao.

The navy was positioned in the sea, but they didn’t stop Ryugai’s ship.

Thanks to having already made contact using connections.

“You’ve done something reckless.”

Xiao Chen approached and spoke to Jinhyeok.

Jinhyeok showed a smile without much response.

“I acknowledge that you’re strong. But Ryugai is strong. The name Dragon of Shandong wasn’t given for nothing.”

Becoming a ranker in the vast continent.

This is never an easy task.

Although he had neglected Tower climbing for a while, that didn’t mean Ryugai had become weak.

“Even I can’t be certain whether I can break through Ryugai’s defense.”

Ryugai, who has dragon scales that block all physical attacks as a passive skill.

It would be nerfed compared to in the Tower due to synchronization rate, but it’s still a sufficiently troublesome skill.

Even past Xiao Chen couldn’t pierce those scales and couldn’t reach a definitive conclusion.

“It’s okay. The promise will be fulfilled well, right? Then there won’t be any reason for us to fight each other.”

“You’re positive. Excessively so.”

Xiao Chen’s expression hardened.

“We said we’d monitor and guarantee each other’s promises, but you don’t think I’d fight Ryugai for you if such a situation arose, do you?”

“Of course not.”

“Then what are you trusting to come this far? Stop saying you trust the promise. Even lies can only be laughed at once or twice.”

As Jinhyeok was about to say something.

Ryugai approached and came between Jinhyeok and Xiao Chen.

“We’re almost at the boundary line now. You contacted the Korean side, right?”

“Yes. They should be out there waiting.”

“Follow me. Let’s go to the deck.”

Jinhyeok got up.

Ryugai stopped Xiao Chen who was trying to follow.

“Please watch from here. What Lord Xiao Chen is taking is this Korean brat. Shouldn’t you guarantee the secrecy regarding what I’m receiving?”

Xiao Chen clicked his tongue lightly and sat back down.

Even if an unexpected situation occurs, it’s still inside the ship anyway.

He could reach it with a single leap.

‘Oh.’

Jinhyeok, who had gone up to the deck, smiled.

He could see the Player Hunter Bureau’s ship that had arrived beyond the boundary line.

‘Se-yeon is there too.’

The Hunter Bureau side also seemed to be prepared for any possibility.

He shifted his gaze downward.

The Tzuyu people boarding the lifeboat.

They were looking up at Jinhyeok with complicated expressions.

A situation where naturalization, which they thought would be forever impossible, was happening overnight.

Since it was a deal made under the condition of Jinhyeok being taken hostage, they couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.

He waved lightly to the people.

‘Why is he so cheerful.’

Se-yeon, who was watching this through binoculars, made a dumbfounded expression.

This side was in a truly pre-war level of tension.

But Jinhyeok on the ship looked like he had no worries at all.

‘He really needs to get examined once.’

She wasn’t trying to be sarcastic.

She was genuinely worried.

Wondering if he might be lacking some emotion related to fear or terror.

“Huuuuu.”

Jin Yun-ho, who was extremely tense, wiped the sweat that had formed with his hand.

When an emergency situation occurs, this side would be at a disadvantage.

This side couldn’t do anything until that lifeboat crossed the boundary line.

But China was different.

As a powerful nation, China crossed that place so frequently that the term boundary line became meaningless.

Today wouldn’t be any different.

“Jinhyeok isn’t on the boat?”

“He says he’ll come separately on his own.”

“On his own? How?”

Jin Yun-ho shrugged his shoulders.

How could anyone fathom what goes on in that person’s head.

“The boat is departing!”

“Everyone stay alert.”

Those in combat readiness stared at the boat.

And Jinhyeok on the opposite ship also watched the boat approaching the boundary line.

“I kept my promise. Now it’s your turn to fulfill yours.”

Ryugai, who was standing alongside, extended his hand.

“Bring it. The Imugi’s elixir containing the power of eternity.”

“I’ll give it to you once the boat crosses the boundary line.”</Human: You are an ELITE PROFESSIONAL TRANSLATOR for Korean web novels (COMMERCIAL QUALITY).

Ryugai drew a faint sneer.

What naive humans.

They still think the Boundary Line will protect them.

A few minutes of silence passed.

Finally, the boat crossed the Boundary Line.

Ryugai gestured with his hand.

Jinhyeok handed over the potion he had taken from his inventory.

‘Finally!!’

The corners of Ryugai’s mouth stretched long as he received the potion.

A potion bottle with a giant Imugi coiled around it.

Just looking at the bottle, its aura was extraordinary.

The heavily faded and peeling paint spoke of how long this bottle had existed.

Having waited far too long, he had no intention of delaying any further.

Ryugai immediately uncorked the bottle and drank it down.

Sweet liquid flowed down his throat.

“Ahhhhh…!!!”

Ryugai’s face brightened as the energy spread through his body.

Ryugai immediately picked up the radio.

“It’s done. Sink it.”

Xiao Chen shot up from his seat.

Ryugai smiled toward Xiao Chen.

“Calm down, Lord Xiao Chen. The human you want is still here, isn’t he? It was a meaningless promise from the start.”

As he had told Rumai earlier, there would be no conflict.

Today’s incident would end with Ryugai and Xiao Chen each getting what they wanted.

But for some reason.

Unlike the triumphant Ryugai, Xiao Chen’s eyes were moving busily.

‘What’s going on?’

Xiao Chen wasn’t the only one who heard the order to sink the boat.

Jinhyeok had heard it from an even closer position.

Yet there was no reaction on his expression.

As if he had expected all of this.

How much time passed in that state?

Questions began to form on Ryugai’s face too.

Why was it so quiet?

The boat that had crossed the Boundary Line was now just about to reach Korea’s ship.

“Lord Rumai! What are you doing?! I said sink it quickly!!”

He had no intention of making things bigger by blowing up Korea’s Players too.

He needed to cleanly blow up just the boat and end it.

But still no answer came back.

“He can’t answer.”

“What?”

Ryugai turned his gaze toward Jinhyeok.

“Because they’re all dead the moment they broke the promise.”

He wanted to ask what nonsense he was spouting.

But he had to swallow his words.

Jinhyeok’s eyes and voice didn’t waver in the slightest.

His instincts were telling him.

That what the human before him was saying was the truth.

Shing.

Jinhyeok drew the greatsword Salamanca from his inventory.

“Hah?”

Ryugai burst into hollow laughter at the sight.

A mere brat from a small country daring to fight him, the Dragon of Shandong.

It was beyond absurd—it was even funny.

Dragon scales sprouted from Ryugai’s body.

“I don’t know what you did to the Control Room, but you picked the wrong opponent.”

A fight between a dragon with scales that blocked all physical attacks and a swordsman with a greatsword.

The outcome was as clear as day.

“You’ll regret being so arrog— Kheuk!”

Blood spurted from Ryugai’s mouth.

That wasn’t all.

The scales covering his body began falling off one by one.

Watching this, Jinhyeok spoke indifferently.

“You know what? Imugi can’t beat dragons, but the reason dragons don’t want to fight Imugi.”

Jinhyeok pointed to his own fangs.

“Imugi poison is lethal to dragons. Just like how drinking snake wine wrong makes your teeth fall out, drinking Imugi poison wrong makes dragons lose their scales.”

There was no way he could have known.

This was something the 3,271-year-old Elia Posen had told Jinhyeok.

“And one more thing—the more lethal the poison, the sweeter it tastes.”

Only then did Ryugai’s eyes widen as he understood the situation.

“What did you bastard make me drink? This should be the Elixir of Eternity…!”

“If such an elixir existed, I would have drunk it the moment I got my hands on it. Even if just from fear of someone stealing it. You’re more naive than I thought.”

Call it cowardly if you want.

What Jinhyeok faced wasn’t some cool one-on-one duel from movies or comics.

This was a fight where life and death were decided by the outcome amid deception and trickery, not honor or justice.

Moreover, his opponent was objectively a stronger ranker than himself.

Not using available means when you have them is arrogance.

Grrrrrr!!

Ryugai spat blood once more and gritted his teeth.

Then he drew up all his remaining strength.

Sharp dragon claws sprouted from Ryugai’s hands.

He didn’t care about conflicts with Xiao Chen anymore.

He needed to tear that brat’s body to shreds right now to feel satisfied.

“From head to toe…?!”

It was just an instant.

Shorter than the time it takes to blink once.

Jinhyeok disappeared from his sight.

“I don’t know if you’ve heard, but arrogance accounts for the largest portion of reasons why the strong die.”

The voice came from behind.

Ryugai slowly turned his head in that direction.

Blue aura emitted light as if to show the path Jinhyeok had taken.

Ryugai looked at that aura with an expression of disbelief.

And then, a moment later.

Pshwaaaaaaak!!!

Blood spurting from where the scales had fallen scattered through the air.

This was the last sight the Dragon of Shandong, Ryugai, ever saw.
