Only I Have Two Towers Episode 084
New Floor
After properly equipping my gear, I looked around at my friends.
Then I pressed the entry button.
[Entering somewhere between the 40th and 51st floors.]
Naturally, there was no information about this on the Tower Site either.
In the first place, no one uses compression tickets, and even if they did, they wouldn’t recklessly combine 10 of them like this.
‘A new floor, huh. How interesting.’
I had posted a question with the mindset of grasping at straws.
As expected, there were only comments asking if I was dreaming or telling me to make sense, so there was no harvest.
[Play time will not be recorded. Upon clearing, SSS+ grade will be given with 100% probability.]
Even the rules are different – this is a floor I can’t quite get a grasp on.
I looked around the constructed space.
Inside some spacious castle.
It was full of spider webs and dust, as if it had been neglected for a long time.
“Boss. I think we need to clean first.”
“No. We’re not going to live here.”
Just as I was about to look around a bit more.
Seira, who had walked to the wall, swept away the dust.
Various drawings were revealed underneath.
It looked like they were drawn by scratching the wall with something sharp.
“Have you seen these drawings before?”
Seira quietly nodded her head.
“His name was Lebard. He was a guy who liked drawing. His hobby was leaving graffiti on walls like this.”
Seira spoke quietly and slowly looked around the castle.
“It was not long after forming the Black Knight Order. We stayed here.”
Seira walked to the floor that had traces of being burned.
There were crumpled metal cups and spoons placed there, as if they had gathered around a campfire.
“It was when the entire knight order had less than 10 people. Rather than a knight order, it was closer to a small adventure party.”
A place where Seira and the knight order actually stayed.
This wasn’t the first time such a place appeared in the Tower of Despair.
The 11th floor where Orc shamans and warriors appeared.
I had first discovered traces of Yodel Ranger Kancheo inside the hut there.
Even after that, I could often find glimpses of Yodel Forest.
Not long after, Seira, who had been examining the castle, shook her head.
“This is a place that cannot exist.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Before we left, this place collapsed due to the final battle. It was shattered to pieces beyond any possibility of restoration. It’s impossible for these drawings to remain intact like this. Unless time was turned back.”
Jinhyeok let out a quiet groan.
“Or maybe they took a moment right after the drawings were made and before it collapsed and moved it here.”
To Seira who was making a question mark expression, he continued.
“It was the same in the 10th floor section. When I saw traces of Yodel Forest on the 11th floor, I wondered if the Mythic Tower was the distant past and the Tower of Despair was the future, but it wasn’t. Things that exist in the current Mythic Tower’s Yodel Forest didn’t exist in the Tower of Despair.”
So Jinhyeok had reached his own conclusion.
A specific point that branched off from the Mythic Tower met another future in the Tower of Despair.
Roughly speaking, it could be seen as similar to the What If version of the American drama Marvel.
“Then are you saying this place is an illusion?”
“That’s probably not it. Both are present and real. It’s just that the Tower of Despair separated and brought only the location, so if we’re talking about origins, it would be the Mythic Tower, right?”
Even as I spoke, I felt a headache coming on.
In the process of meeting Ellia, I had discovered the possibility that the Mythic Tower and the real world might be connected.
Meanwhile, the Tower of Despair was appearing in the real world through a process called transition.
At this rate, I felt like the three worlds might get completely mixed up later.
“Ugh.”
I shook my head to clear away the complicated thoughts.
It was still a situation where I couldn’t be certain of anything.
I decided to think about it again later when more evidence accumulated.
“Wow! There are so many!”
Momo looking outside through a small gap.
“What’s so many?”
Kancheo, who pushed Momo aside, stood on his tiptoes.
Then he turned around with creaking movements.
“Boss? The distance is a bit far, but something’s swarming.”
Jinhyeok, who was almost lying down, brought his eyes to the rock.
“Oh shit. What’s that?”
Something pitch black filling the horizon.
It was still too far to detect their presence, but at a glance, there seemed to be over thousands.
“Let’s go up. The view will open up.”
I followed Seira up the narrow stairs.
A desolate wind began to blow.
When we reached the top, I saw a familiar face.
“Konu?”
Raccoon Konu who had appeared as a guide in the 10th floor section.
Konu, who had developed chronic laziness at some point, was lying sprawled on the ground in a big letter shape today as well.
“Long time no see, Konu.”
Konu, who turned his head this way, frowned.
“Ugh. So it was you guys after all.”
“What kind of way is that to talk to the boss!? Get up before I beat you up!”
Did he anticipate things would get more troublesome because of Kancheo?
Konu, who let out a deep sigh, got up and approached Jinhyeok.
“I wondered who made this new floor appear. Did you use compression tickets?”
“That’s right. I combined 10 floors.”
“Wow.”
Konu clicked his tongue.
He had seen people combine two or three, but 10?
Despite his calm nature then and now, he was someone with a bold side.
Konu, who gradually moved away while watching Kancheo’s mood, opened his mouth.
“This time you were quite reckless. Do you see that army?”
Konu pointing beyond the horizon.
That pitch black thing was definitely on a completely different numerical scale from what we’d seen so far.
“That army is called the Demon Knight Army. They’re enemies on a different dimension from the orcs or ogres that have been mindlessly charging at you so far. Especially the knights called Calista who lead each unit are quite terrible. They freely wield hundreds of kilos worth of great swords and slaughter enemies.”
Calista, a familiar name.
Cheon Se-yeon had earnestly advised that compression tickets should never be used in the 40th floor section even if they appeared.
The biggest reason for that was precisely Calista.
‘She said they were damn strong.’
Seeing even Konu say this, it seems like a guy with quite a reputation.
To think there’s one of those bastards in each unit is a bit dizzying.
Ding!
[The Demon Knight Army’s summoning ritual begins! Time remaining until summoning: 40 minutes.]
“Hey raccoon! What’s this? What’s being summoned?”
“Oh, that.”
As if he just remembered, Konu snapped his fingers.
“The Demon Knight Army is summoning a Demon Dragon. Once the three crystals scattered in each direction finish charging, the dragon will emerge!”
Smack!
Kancheo struck the back of Konu’s head.
“What are you saying with such an innocent face?! If there’s something like that, you should have said it first!”
Kancheo speaking sense for once in a while.
He looked back and forth at the directions Konu had pointed to.
There, purple crystals as tall as single-story buildings were emitting light.
“I’ll take this side.”
Dark cracked his joints and launched himself from the tower.
Seira moved in the opposite direction from Dark.
“I’ll handle the remaining one. Master.”
Seira gazed at Jinhyeok.
At first, Jinhyeok had been so weak that he needed to be wrapped up and protected, but not anymore.
“Leave it to me.”
When he gave a thumbs up, Seira smiled and leaped with all her strength.
“Let’s go too.”
“Ready to go!”
“Let’s go, Master.”
He jumped down from the tower.
Of course, since it was quite high, he reduced his weight with Hermes’ Shoes as he fell.
‘When will we get there running.’
Rather than fighting, reaching that distant crystal was the problem.
Judging by the roaring sounds, Dark and Seira had already started fighting.
Just as he was about to run hard with no other choice, Ellia put on the Star Gauntlet.
“Shouldn’t we have at least one horse when fighting a knight order?”
When she raised her hand, a transmutation circle appeared on the ground.
From there, a creature with four legs revealed itself.
“Ugh.”
“Ughhh.”
Jinhyeok and Kancheo recoiled in shock.
Legs of different shapes and colors.
Even the torso had the form of a bird, making it incredibly grotesque.
“It’s a guy that combines the torso of a Sky Griffin with the legs of a Centaurus, Demon Horse, and Gargoyle?”
“If it’s a Centaurus, it already had four legs, so why did you frankenstein other things onto it?!”
“Because it looks better? It’s beyond the comprehension of a raccoon with a small brain.”
Jinhyeok approached and looked at the horse’s wings.
“Can it fly?”
“No? I just attached them because they look cool.”
“Didn’t I tell you? She’s a granny obsessed with appearances.”
“Just try riding it first before talking.”
Time was passing.
Jinhyeok nodded and immediately climbed onto the horse.
“What’s its name?”
“Name? Hmm… let’s just call it Kentariffin?”
“Completely nonsensical, you granny!”
Jinhyeok took a deep breath.
Then with the most heroic face in the world, he shouted with all his might.
“Let’s go! Kentariffin!”
Unlike the dumbfounded Kancheo, Kentariffin seemed to properly understand its name.
키에에에에에에엑—!!!
A sharp cry echoed across the battlefield.
At the same time, Kentariffin began stomping its feet.
‘Holy shit.’
Was this what it felt like to have your eyebrows blown back?
Kentariffin began racing through the forest at tremendous speed.
If there was one problem.
Crack! Snap! Crunch!
Perhaps because its body was sturdy, it didn’t consider obstacles at all.
[Quick Shield – Physical activates!]
[Quick Shield – Physical activates!]
Quick Shield activated continuously against tree branches flying at his face.
It was fortunate he had enough mana, otherwise he would have been eliminated before the battle even started.
Kancheo and Ellia were pressed close behind Jinhyeok to avoid getting hit.
Whoosh!
Before long, an open plain appeared.
Finally, the soldiers of the Demon Knight Army began to come into view.
“Kruk?!”
The guys seemed to have noticed this side too.
A barrage of arrows filled the sky so densely it blocked out the sunlight.
Just as he was about to draw his sword, Ellia tapped his shoulder.
“It’s fine. My Gritaken doesn’t just know how to run.”
She seemed to have forgotten even the name she just made up, but anyway.
A huge gust of wind arose from Kentariffin’s spread wings.
Kentariffin instantly blew away the incoming arrows.
Once the arrows were cleared, Kancheo climbed onto Jinhyeok’s shoulders.
[Weapon Collecting]
# Ganjangmakya
# Pillar of Slither, Spirit of Snow
# Salamanca
Kancheo’s explosions would fully benefit from Salamanca’s fire-type damage amplification effect.
He was already looking forward to seeing how much stronger it had become.
“How dare you shoot arrows at the General Commander!”
Kancheo, though small but loud, aimed his minigun.
Hundreds of explosive clay shots were scattered into the air from there.
Snap.
When Kancheo snapped his fingers.
KABOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Massive flowers of explosion bloomed magnificently across the entire plain.
“Haaah.”
Jinhyeok drew Salamanca and Ganjangmakya and took a breath.
The battle begins.
