My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 92
Episode 92. Why Are You Coming Out From There
Lick, lick, lick.
A damp feeling on my cheek.
Opening my eyes, I looked at Cheo-ri who was flicking her tongue right in front of me.
“…Cheo-ri.”
“Squeak.”
“How long has it been?”
“Squeak squeak squeak.”
With a light response, she turned around and headed toward the window.
As if satisfied that I had woken up, Cheo-ri coiled up under the window and began sunbathing.
Staggering as I raised my upper body, I grabbed my head and muttered.
“…How long did I sleep?”
My head, which felt like it would split, had cleared up.
Only cracking sounds came from my completely hoarse throat.
Looking down to check my clothes, the red blood stains on them had long since dried and turned black.
Staggering to my feet and taking off my clothes, I trudged into the bathroom.
“Whew…”
The hot water awakened my senses.
In the steam-filled bathroom, I pressed my head against the wall and muttered blankly.
“Kargon…”
Perhaps it was thanks to the days of living carefully at the orphanage.
I thought I was used to failure and frustration.
But this time, I just can’t get used to it.
“If you’re going to die, just die quietly.”
Why did you have to show me that smile at the end before dying?
It still feels like Kargon’s last words are echoing in my ears.
Each consideration he showed me comes to mind.
Biting my lips finely, I buried my head in the hot water flowing from the showerhead.
“Whew… Right, let’s forget.”
That guy wouldn’t want me to be like this either.
Forcing myself to think that way, I quietly raised my right hand.
“Come to think of it, I achieved 10% synchronization rate.”
I was too busy fighting to check properly, but I remember achieving a 10% synchronization rate.
Raising my right hand high up, I made a small wish.
[Black Dragon]
Crackle crackle.
Scales sprouting on my right hand.
Originally, only my hand and part of my forearm should change under the influence of ‘Black Dragon’.
But now scales had sprouted up my forearm all the way to my shoulder.
“Oh.”
I tapped my arm with my left hand.
The hardness was identical to the scales on my right hand.
“When I gained the Black Dragon’s eyes, nothing changed separately.”
Isn’t this change too obvious?
Clicking my tongue softly, I wished again as an experiment.
This time for only my hand to change, not my arm.
“…It worked?”
As soon as I made that wish, the scales that had sprouted across my entire right arm disappeared.
Only my familiar right hand had scales sprouting on it now.
Looking at my right hand with scales, I muttered blankly.
“I can control it too?”
The eyes were hard to tell if they were activated unless in specific situations.
Because of that, I didn’t have time to experiment if this was possible, but I finally found out.
Activating ‘Black Dragon’ up to my right arm again, I nodded satisfactorily.
“This should be enough.”
I had confirmed everything I was curious about.
Deactivating ‘Black Dragon’, I quickly washed my body with shampoo and soap and came out of the bathroom.
“Somehow it feels like I’m running out of clothes as time goes by.”
Opening the closet to take out clothes, I frowned at the significantly reduced number of clothes.
Every time I go to a tower, I lose not only my bag but also my clothes, so my closet is gradually emptying.
At this rate, if I enter towers two or three more times, my closet might become completely empty.
Changing into clean clothes, I stretched lightly and loosened up my body.
“So, how long has it really been?”
Seeing how refreshed my body felt, I must have slept for quite a while after coming out of the tower.
Taking out my phone that I had thrown far away, I checked the time and opened my eyes wide.
“Huh?”
I definitely spent about 6 days in the tower…
“I only slept for two days?”
I slept less than I thought.
No, is it right to say I slept little?
Anyway, it was definitely much less than I expected.
“Well, it seems no special contacts have come yet.”
There were no particular contacts from Seong Yu-mi or Jeong Chan-woo.
At most, there was a contact saying that Choi Su-a had woken up and was doing well.
Even that, I wasn’t too worried about since I had confirmation from Jini and Omen.
After checking my contacts, I turned off my phone and looked up at the sky.
“So, what I gained this time is something called the Summoner’s Tower?”
Summoner.
The word itself seems somehow ominous.
“Why exactly does the system show me these kinds of towers?”
Does it want me to clear all these towers?
I tried hard to think, but I still can’t figure out what the system wants.
“Well, good things are good things.”
Whatever the system wants.
I definitely gain something from the towers.
I just need to challenge towers as long as they benefit me, right?
Thinking that way, I lost interest in the Summoner’s Tower.
“Then lastly…”
Trailing off my words, I checked the last System Message that was written.
“…”
The sentence saying the Tower of the Wilderness was recorded in the roster.
When I came out of the Tower of Illusion, I naturally called Jini right away.
But now there’s no one to call.
The person who was there is no longer alive.
Clenching my fist tightly, I activated the skill thinking that perhaps I might be able to call someone other than him.
[Roster]
“Karnack.”
The other orc who existed in the Tower of the Wilderness, not Kargon.
If I could summon him, I might be able to keep his request.
However.
[Your power is insufficient to summon the entity ‘Karnack’.]
The system only conveyed that I couldn’t call Karnack.
Damn it.
Even with a 10% synchronization rate, it’s still not enough?
Raising my eyebrows, I shamelessly pointed my finger at the floating system and shouted.
“Then what, what am I supposed to do! Should I call the dead Kargon instead!?”
[The entity ‘Kargon’ responds to your call.]
“…Huh?”
Blink.
I blinked blankly and stared at the system.
“What?”
Call Kargon?
How?
He’s dead.
He died because I pierced his heart.
But to call him.
‘Does it mean to call his corpse?’
Checking the mist rising from the floor, I urgently shouted.
“There’s no need for that-.”
“…Ugh. My head is pounding like it’s going to split.”
A familiar voice coming from beyond the mist.
Frozen in the same position I was shouting in, I stared at the fully formed mist with trembling eyes.
There stood a familiar orc about 2 meters tall, holding his head.
“Kar… gon?”
“What’s wrong? You’re making a face like you’ve seen a ghost.”
Why am I making a face like I’ve seen a ghost?
There’s literally a ghost standing right in front of me.
With my mouth agape, I blinked and stared at Kargon.
Receiving my gaze, he awkwardly scratched his cheek and said.
“…Ah, that’s right. I died, didn’t I?”
“Yes! H-how are you here!?”
How is a dead guy perfectly alive?
More importantly, are you really okay?
I urgently examined Kargon’s body.
There’s no hole in his chest.
And the curse that was on his body…
“…It’s gone.”
Gone.
The curse that was eating away at him has disappeared.
Taking a step back, I looked up at Kargon.
He spoke with a very pleased smile.
“I don’t know how it happened, but thanks to you killing me, I was freed from the curse.”
“…”
“It seems that altar was indeed what was binding my soul to the ground. As soon as that altar disappeared, my soul ascended at the same time my chest was pierced.”
Hahaha!
Kargon laughed out loud as if delighted.
“I definitely died. That’s certain.”
“Then how are you here?”
“I don’t know that either. But this one thing is certain.”
Thud.
Kargon’s massive fist taps my chest.
“The power of the Underworld that you possess called me back to this place.”
“…”
“Though it doesn’t seem perfect. Judging by how the power I feel in my body is only about half of half of what it used to be.”
The netherworld.
Come to think of it, I think I remember seeing a system message left by the Black Dragon just before closing my eyes in the Tower of the Wilderness.
“…It said it was pleased.”
I don’t remember clearly, but I think it said something about being satisfied with the fight against a true orc.
Perhaps because it was satisfied with the fight against Kargon, it sent him back here.
In any case, it was certain that the Black Dragon’s power I possessed had revived the dead him.
“Wait, that means.”
Lifting my head, I looked at Kargon.
He who was dead has come back to life.
That means.
“Kargon, return to the tower immediately.”
“Tower? What do you…”
Throb.
Kargon, who momentarily furrowed his brow, grabbed his forehead.
Then he immediately nodded.
“I see. So that’s how it was.”
Like Elpinire and Jini, Kargon, who had received the information injection, smiled weakly.
“A tower, so you came to Berdine from another world.”
“You understand faster than I thought?”
“Since all the injected memories are identical to the future I was envisioning, I have no choice but to understand.”
Since he was already in a position of envisioning despair, it’s not confusing?
Nodding, I spoke firmly to Kargon.
“So hurry back to the tower.”
Kargon has come back to life.
That means he can become Karnack’s protector again.
“Two days have passed on Earth. I don’t know how much time has passed there.”
“I see. Understood.”
Kargon’s feet, who nodded, began to slowly turn into mist.
“Please call me as soon as possible. No, my master.”
“…I will.”
Kargon transforms into a massive mist in an instant.
Having sent him back to the tower, I sighed and ran my hand through my hair.
“It’s been a while since I liked something.”
Since the Black Dragon is trying to take over my body, I couldn’t view it favorably no matter what.
Though it had saved me before, that was also a fair price the Black Dragon had given me.
But today, for the first time, I like what the Black Dragon did.
“Hey, if you’re watching, answer me.”
I tried speaking to the air, but no answer came back.
Come to think of it, it seems like the number of times the Black Dragon has spoken to me has significantly decreased since the Tower of Echoes.
“Still, seeing how it revived Kargon like this, it must be continuously watching.”
It would be nice if the Black Dragon said something.
Maybe because the synchronization rate hit 10%, the Black Dragon’s silence is more bothersome than I thought.
“Still, it’s only 10%.”
Ten percent.
Depending on how you think about it, you could say it’s a lot, but I don’t particularly feel like I’m being consumed by the Black Dragon.
I was still in my normal state.
“…Still, I should be careful.”
Muttering quietly to myself, I suddenly clutched my abdomen and collapsed heavily to the floor.
“Ugh….”
Wait a minute.
This is serious.
All the strength is draining from my body in an instant.
I don’t even have the strength to lift myself up.
Breaking out in cold sweat, I desperately squeezed out my remaining strength and reached my hand forward.
[Roster]
[Entity ‘Elpinire’ responds to the call.]
[Entity ‘Jini’ responds to the call.]
A black book appeared above my hand.
Two streams of mist rose up afterward.
The two people who emerged from within widened their eyes at the sight of me collapsed on the floor.
“Master! What’s wrong!”
“Master, are you okay!?”
“-give me.”
“Huh? What are you saying! I can’t hear you, Master!”
“Give me food!”
The moment I realized that Kargon wasn’t dead, all my energy instantly drained from my body.
I had starved for 6 days in the Tower and slept straight for two days on Earth.
The sleep and meals I missed in the Tower had to be dealt with all at once right after leaving the Tower, so now I didn’t have the strength to even move a finger.
“….”
“Why, why are you looking at me with those eyes.”
I weakly responded to Elpinire, who was looking at me with incredibly cold eyes.
I called them because I really felt like I was dying, so don’t look at me like that.
“…I’ll prepare something for you.”
“Jini, even you…?”
I expected that from Elpinire, but even Jini’s reaction was cold.
I watched with trembling eyes as Jini walked toward the refrigerator.
“Master, just die.”
“No, why!?”
I really feel like I’m dying here!
Hey, you damn summons!
* * *
“Are you satisfied now?”
“Very much so.”
Starting with the vegetables in the refrigerator and finishing with all the ramen in the cupboard, I finally patted my stomach with satisfaction.
Jini, who had eaten ramen with me, was slurping the broth as if she liked the taste.
Elpinire, who had put down her chopsticks earlier, was resting her chin on her hand and staring at me while muttering.
“I didn’t know you had starved for 8 days.”
“That’s why I called you guys.”
Elpinire, who had initially shown a sharp reaction, concluded it was understandable after hearing that I had starved for 8 days.
Well, even I would have said “Are you crazy?” if Elpinire had urgently called me only to immediately ask for food.
‘Considering that, I guess the kids are kind.’
I took out a cold cola from the refrigerator, filled a cup to the brim, drank it all at once, and stretched very satisfyingly.
Whatever the case, now that I had something in my stomach, I felt like I would live.
