Only I Have Two Towers Episode 085
A Guy Who Doesn’t Even Know the Basics
‘No complacency. No arrogance.’
After reminding himself of the most important thing once more, he checked the space he would charge into.
The number of Demon Knight Army was truly like a pack of dogs.
If surrounded, no matter how high one’s individual combat power, getting beaten to death by a mob was almost certain.
“Kancheo, move to the back. I’m going to jump down!”
“Understood… Huh?! Where are you going?”
Ganjangmakya and Salamanca were greatswords but didn’t have the reach of spears.
They weren’t suitable weapons to wield on top of Kentariffin, whose legs were all different lengths and made it bumpy.
He had never fought on horseback before either.
“I’m going!”
He stood up on the horse at an appropriate position.
Then he leaped forward greatly while raising both greatswords above his head.
[Explosion Enchant]
The size of the explosion varies according to the sword’s power.
He intended to make the first strike spectacular.
“Krara!”
He brought down the greatsword toward the charging Demon Knight Army.
Kwaaaaang!!
The explosion enhanced by Salamanca’s effect instantly engulfed the surrounding area.
[Salamanca’s unique skill Lava Eruption activates!]
At the same time, lava erupted from the cracked ground.
Lava swallowing up the Demon Knight Army that was already tattered from the explosion.
“Keheo…!”
Kancheo on Kentariffin opened his mouth wide.
To think dozens of knights were cut down with a single swing.
“H-Halmang. The General has become too strong. Halmang? Are you listening?”
When no answer came back, he turned around.
For some reason, Ellia had gotten off Kentariffin and was waving at the departing Kancheo.
“Be careful, you raccoon! The faster you run, the less you can control Kentariffin!”
Kancheo, who had been watching with a solemn expression, nodded his head.
“Definitely. That guy is a villain.”
He took out his minigun and various firearms again.
Since it had come to this, he planned to shoot and kill everything in sight.
Except for where the General was, that is.
“Huuuu!”
Jinhyeok exhaled and emerged from the sunken crater.
Then he moved to the side and began cutting down the Demon Knight Army.
The guys had already taken considerable damage from Kancheo’s bombardment.
Since their movements had slowed down, they weren’t very threatening.
Slash! Swish!
He cut down everything in his path as he broke through.
When it seemed like he might be surrounded, he used Explosion Enchant to clear a path and repositioned himself.
Thanks to his increased stats and Hermes’ Shoes, his movement speed was far superior.
On top of that, he wrapped his Eternal Cold Iron around protruding rocks for three-dimensional movement, so the Demon Knight Army could only chase after Jinhyeok’s tail.
And, at a place slightly away from where Jinhyeok was fighting.
“Wuhyooo! There are overflowing materials!”
Ellia drew a bright smile at the pile of scattered corpses.
Since Momo would collect everything, it seemed like she could make plenty of chimeras when she returned.
“By the way.”
Ellia stopped walking and nodded with an extremely pleased face.
“Our master fights well.”
Jinhyeok was leading the Demon Knight Army around while steadily reducing their numbers.
He wasn’t simply relying on stats and fighting stupidly.
He was clearly grasping the enemy’s flow and the terrain to step on, continuing combat intelligently.
His moment-to-moment decisions were also excellent, making her want to give him a round of applause.
“Kuaaaaa!!”
She watched the knight army rushing toward Jinhyeok’s back.
Even if left alone, Jinhyeok would handle it well, but she couldn’t just watch guys targeting her master.
As she extended her hand, a giant transmutation circle appeared.
[Capella of Auriga]
A giant bull made of iron burst out from the transmutation circle.
The iron bull charged forward and pushed away the running knight army.
[Arcturus of Boötes]
The next transmutation circle was drawn in the sky where the Demon Knight Army had gathered.
What appeared was a stone the size of a palm.
“Arcturus is a star that shines very brightly even in the northern hemisphere.”
As she murmured quietly for a moment, a dazzling light burst from the stone.
A light bomb that turned the entire range into dust.
When the light subsided, nothing remained there.
“Shall we continue?”
Humming a tune, she followed Jinhyeok with a skip in her step.
This was separate from her trust in Jinhyeok.
Protecting her master no matter what unexpected situation arose.
That was the most important principle of Elia Posen, the Star Alchemist.
Kwadeudeuk!
Ganjangmakya swung horizontally cut through the knight’s upper body.
At first, there was a feeling of the sword catching near the armor, but not anymore.
The upper body split in half and fell with a thud.
He wiped the blood splattered on his face and checked the next position to advance to.
Ganjangmakya’s unique effect made him stronger and faster the more he fought.
Thanks to this, his movements had become so fast he wondered if this was really his body.
Shwaaaak!
He backstopped at an attack flying from outside his vision.
A longsword that came from somewhere and made a dent in the ground.
The gathered Demon Knight Army parted like the miracle of the Red Sea.
From there, Kalistah, the vice-captain of the Demon Knight Army, appeared.
A height that easily exceeded 3 meters and a massive build full of muscle.
‘What incredible presence.’
The way he walked with his shoulders squared, swaggering along, seemed to boast ‘I’m a damn strong guy!’
If someone saw him, they would describe his presence as more than enough to call him Mount Tai.
‘This guy who doesn’t even know the basics!’
Jinhyeok’s evaluation was different.
Seira, his swordsmanship master, had repeatedly said.
The sword is an existence equivalent to a knight’s life.
Not only should you treat it as one body, but never handle it carelessly or throw it away recklessly.
Charararak!
Jinhyeok released his Eternal Cold Iron.
He had no intention whatsoever of waiting for this guy who didn’t know the basics to pick up his sword again.
He began wrapping the longsword with the Ten Thousand Year Cold Iron and pulling it.
“Kiaaaaaaak!!!”
Kalistah roared and increased his speed.
Grind!
He gritted his teeth.
Indeed, a longsword weighing hundreds of kilos.
It was damn heavy, but using the power of the Ten Thousand Year Cold Iron and centrifugal force, he pulled out the longsword stuck in the ground.
And with all his might, with every ounce of strength, he hurled it far away.
“Grrrrrrrk!!!”
Kalistah howled terrifyingly as he lost his sword before his eyes.
Whether he did or not, while wrapped in explosive enchant.
[Black Shadow Island]
He slashed Kalistah lengthwise.
Black Shadow Island enhanced by Ganjangmakya’s stat increases.
A much longer and sharper sword path was created than when he used it against Ryugai.
Tsaaaak!!
Blue blood scattered through the air.
Without his longsword, which was both his means of attack and defense.
The guy was nothing more than a large blowhard.
“Grr…!!!”
Even with his upper body split in half, Kalistah somehow endured and turned to look back.
Jinhyeok thought it was over and wasn’t even looking this way.
The moment he tried to drive his fist into Jinhyeok’s back, an explosion followed along the sword path.
An explosion that blew away his heavy upper body entirely.
Thud.
The remaining lower half collapsed to the ground, and the upper body that had shot into the air also fell and rolled on the floor.
Jinhyeok slowly exhaled and straightened his body.
He had tried to use Seira’s motion detection, but the fight ended before he could even do that.
Heavy silence flowed across the plain.
Usually monsters don’t fear humans.
Because they believe they’re positioned much higher in the food chain.
But the Demon Knight Army facing Jinhyeok hesitantly stepped backward.
Captain Kalistah, whom they could never defeat even if they attacked in groups.
Such a being had been cut in half with just one strike before their eyes, so it was a natural reaction.
And while their gazes were focused this way.
With a thunderous roar, a massive explosion occurred and the crystal shattered to pieces.
Kancheo, who had moved swiftly, had blown it away cleanly.
[All crystals used for summoning have been destroyed! The Demon Knight Army’s summoning has failed!]
The timer stopped along with the message.
The Demon Knight Army became even more agitated, knowing their plan had failed.
Their morale had already fallen through the floor and deep underground.
Kalistah’s longsword began flying and embedding itself above their heads.
Following that, Seira and Dark appeared in the center of the group.
Both were covered head to toe in dark blue blood.
“Captain! I blew it away and came back!”
“Well done, Kancheo.”
He patted the Yodel Ranger Kancheo’s head.
Kancheo wiggled happily.
“Momo is over there picking up crystal fragments!”
As expected, our housekeeper Momo.
Our party will never starve to death in the future.
“Well then.”
He shouldered two greatswords and took his stance.
“Let’s finish this.”
The summoning was blocked.
What could be called a battle had also come to an end.
What remained now wasn’t a fight.
It was one-sided hunting.
At the top of the old castle.
Sip.
The raccoon Konu took a sip of steaming tea.
Somewhere between the 40th and 51st floors that even Konu was seeing for the first time.
The moment he was summoned here and faced the Demon Knight Army, Konu had thought.
This time was too reckless.
This was a difficulty level that no 40th floor range player could ever clear.
However, once again, it was Konu, not the other side, who had misjudged.
‘I really don’t learn anything.’
It was a moment that made him reflect once again.
By the way, far from disappearing, the question mark had grown even larger.
What are those guys really?
It hadn’t even been a month since they parted on the 20th floor.
But the degree to which they’d grown stronger was absurd.
How could they be like that?
Despite having seen countless players, it was hard to comprehend.
It felt like they were operating under completely different rules.
Especially Yoo Jin-hyeok, the party leader, had become ridiculously strong.
‘Is that even human?’
He shook his head at Jinhyeok, who was still roaming the battlefield.
Among the party members, he had been the closest to the human category.
But even he had now joined the same ranks.
Swooooooosh!
Massive black sword energy spread across the battlefield.
That sword energy had also become much denser and larger than when he first saw it.
‘What is that… scary.’
Konu squeezed his eyes shut.
How much stronger would they be the next time they met?
Tower resident Konu felt dizzy just thinking about it.
And as the sword energy scattered into the air.
[The Demon Knight Army’s forces return to dust!]
The tower was cleared.
How many minutes had passed?
Jinhyeok’s party, having finished the battle, returned to the castle.
Jinhyeok lit a campfire, intending to reorganize and exit.
Jinhyeok waved once at Konu and sat down on the ground.
Then he took out a small piece of armor from his chest.
Even before the tower’s rewards came in, the special roulette had spun first.
And this had come out.
[Black Knight’s Armor Fragment]
# Growth Quest starting item.
At first, he could only tilt his head in confusion.
An armor fragment like this from a special reward that can even produce SSS+ traits.
He had wondered where he would even use something like this.
But the moment he saw the bottom of the item’s description, he couldn’t help but be convinced.
He read through the reward given upon Quest completion once more.
[Regardless of current level, the grade of Seira Kinketon, leader of the Black Knight Order, will be upgraded to Legendary.]
