Only I Have Two Towers Episode 119

Rescue

Wales Conwy Castle.

# This is Charles. Mr. Yoo Jin-hyeok has safely entered Windsor Castle.

“Did he really jump from 7,000 meters above ground?”

# Yes. Before we could even stop him.

Sofia pressed her forehead as she felt dizzy.

When she first heard Jinhyeok’s plan, she couldn’t help but doubt her ears.

Jump from where?

No matter how she looked at it, it was too reckless, an infiltration method too vague to even call a plan.

She had prepared the helicopter since there was no other option, but she never thought he would actually go through with it.

‘He’s like someone from another world.’

She checked the Tower Site on her phone.

A couple hours ago, the records for the 57th floor of the Tower of Despair had been newly updated.

In the brief moment Sofia was preparing the helicopter, he had efficiently climbed the tower and departed.

A world-famous Runner.

Sofia knew he was impressive.

But facing him in person, the word ‘impressive’ felt woefully inadequate.

“Good work. Charles, your wounds haven’t even healed yet.”

# I’m fine. There’s just slight pain, but it doesn’t hinder my movement.

This too was thanks to Jinhyeok.

The ointment that had even Charles foaming at the mouth.

The pain was terrible, but the effectiveness was absurdly outstanding.

“What kind of person is he really?”

# I don’t know. This is my first time meeting someone like this.

Sofia, who had been lost in thought for a moment, shook her head.

Such thoughts could wait until later.

Right now, she needed to focus on the operation.

“How are things at Windsor Castle?”

# Fortunately, it’s still quiet for now.

“What about our preparations?”

# Including Olivia and myself, thirty people are on standby. We’ll enter immediately upon receiving the signal.

Sofia nodded.

Jinhyeok said he’d be fine, but she couldn’t just sit still.

Even if the operation went wrong and they couldn’t extract the Queen, they had to at least get Jinhyeok out.

A benefactor who had not only saved their lives but was now taking on the most dangerous role without any compensation.

They couldn’t let such a person die in a foreign land.

“Princess.”

Philip, who was beside her, carefully spoke up.

“Wouldn’t it be better to enter now? Windsor Castle is currently no different from Widric’s stronghold. There are even troops gathered to attack Conwy. It’s impossible for one person to break through that security and rescue Her Majesty the Queen.”

It wasn’t simply concern for Jinhyeok that prompted his words.

Currently, Widric believed without doubt that he was the hunter.

He wouldn’t think that Sofia, his prey, would dare to attack.

He was too anxious about entrusting this first and possibly last opportunity entirely to a foreigner and just watching.

“Even if sacrifices follow, we must put forth our full effort. Once today passes, Widric will never let his guard down again.”

Widric was a madman, but not a fool.

The moment he saw even the slightest bit of Sofia’s claws, he would greatly increase his vigilance.

That would also mean their defeat and death.

Sofia shook her head without a moment’s hesitation.

“I understand Philip’s feelings. But let’s wait just a little longer. He said he could do it, so just a little more.”

Having more people wasn’t always a plus.

Rather than helping Jinhyeok who was doing well, they might actually hinder him.

“But…”

# Mr. Philip, it’s fine. Let’s trust and wait.

Philip’s eyes widened at the voice coming through.

Veteran Charles with countless experiences.

Yet he was someone who rarely stepped forward.

Always remaining like a shadow in the background, assisting his master, but now he was making such a firm assertion.

Philip let out a sigh and leaned back in his chair.

Since even Charles was saying this, he had no choice but to trust and wait.

Hoping that the foreigner from the East would succeed in this impossible operation.

He pressed against the wall and held his breath.

“In a few days, Conwy Castle will disappear.”

“What a pity. It was a beautiful place.”

“Don’t say things you don’t mean. You’re the one who’ll be leading the charge to tear it down.”

“Money’s involved. In front of money, what does beauty or pity matter?”

Two people giggling as they passed by.

From their matching combat uniforms, they seemed to be among the mercenaries Widric had gathered today.

Jinhyeok nodded toward Kancheo.

“Stealth maneuver!”

Kancheo, the Yodel Ranger unit commander, moved stealthily along the wall with a swishing sound.

The question ‘Is it still a stealth maneuver if he announces it like that?’ crossed his mind, but he decided to let it go.

Our cute Yodel was currently enjoying infiltration more than anyone else.

After crossing the dark corridor for quite a while.

“Emergency. It’s an emergency…!”

He crouched down at Kancheo’s sudden whisper.

They hadn’t been discovered by enemies, so what could it be?

“My mana is depleted.”

“Oh. That is an emergency.”

Kancheo had infiltrated before Jinhyeok and roamed throughout the castle.

Having collected all the devices that were installed, it was understandable that his mana was insufficient.

“Go inside and rest. We’re almost there anyway.”

“Understood. If the commander is in danger, I’ll come out immediately.”

He gave a thumbs up.

“Loyalty!”

Kancheo saluted and then canceled his manifestation.

Always a cute and reliable friend.

He checked the map he received from Sofia and climbed the stairs.

A large door appeared directly in front.

If there were no variables, the Queen would be in there.

‘Stay alert.’

He went right up to the door and carefully checked for any presence.

Fortunately, there was no presence felt from inside.

He opened the door and entered.

A space filled with heavy silence.

All that could be heard was the regular sound of machinery.

He released his stealth and approached the bed.

An elderly woman with her eyes closed, wearing an oxygen respirator.

Jinhyeok compared the photo he had searched for with the sleeping grandmother’s face.

‘Oh my.’

Though much more haggard compared to the photos, there was no mistake.

Queen Elisia Jeri Windsor.

The 42nd monarch of the United Kingdom.

He stepped back a bit and rubbed his chin.

The grandmother before his eyes was the Queen of the United Kingdom.

He wondered if it was really okay to just kidnap her so casually.

He walked to the terrace and checked the height and escape route once more.

‘After jumping down from the terrace, run as fast as possible and get over the castle walls.’

The castle walls were damn high, but it didn’t matter.

He could just hook the Eternal Cold Iron at the top and that would be it.

It was an embarrassingly simple plan to call a strategy, but he was confident that simple and easy was the best.

Step. Step. Step.

Just as he was about to carefully kidnap Elisia, footsteps could be heard.

Jinhyeok hid and pressed himself against the wall.

He earnestly repeated to himself.

‘Widric Palam Windsor. Widric Palam Windsor.’

This was a queen rescue operation, but it would be even better if he could capture the enemy leader too.

Creak.

The door opened with the sound of old wood.

A middle-aged man wearing a pure white gown.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t Widric.

“Sigh. I keep asking for at least a two-shift system.”

He rubbed his sleepy eyes and took out a small medicine bottle and syringe from his gown.

The man’s name was Leo.

Originally the royal physician of Windsor Castle, but now a doctor helping Widric.

Leo transferred the medicine and brought the syringe toward Elisia.

Whack!

At that moment, he felt a heavy pain in the back of his neck.

It hurt so much that he couldn’t even scream.

Leo trembled and turned around.

“Huh?”

Jinhyeok frowned in confusion.

He had delivered his best hand strike, so why wasn’t he unconscious?

“You, who are you…”

A precisely aimed right hook turned Leo’s jaw.

Thud!

Only then did Leo collapse.

Jinhyeok wiped his sweat with a sigh of relief.

As expected, theory and practice were different.

He needed to practice hand strikes a bit more.

For now, he roughly tied up the unconscious doctor.

Since he was the person in charge of Elisia, bringing him along would be helpful somehow.

‘Careful. Careful.’

He very carefully wrapped up Elisia along with her oxygen respirator.

“Seira.”

He pointed to Elisia wrapped in blankets.

“Please take care of Her Majesty the Queen. Try not to let her get shocked.”

“Got it. What about that man?”

“I’ll take this person. It’s fine to drag him around roughly.”

After roughly securing him with rope, he opened the terrace door.

“Hmm.”

Jinhyeok turned back for a moment as he was about to escape.

Before long, Widric would also realize that the queen had disappeared.

He was already a madman, and there was no telling what he might do when he lost his mind.

If the factions weren’t mixed up, he would have beaten up everyone in sight, which was regrettable.

‘It would be best to delay them as much as possible.’

He took out a large capsule from his inventory.

“What’s that?”

Seira made a disgusted expression.

The hallucinogenic fog he had encountered during his first visit to the Star Forge.

It was so terrible that even Seira and Dark, who had high resistance, had almost been in danger.

“It won’t endanger their lives, but they’ll have a hard time waking up.”

He burst the capsule into the corridor.

Pink fog spreading rapidly.

Hoping they would have good dreams, he threw himself onto the terrace.

Seira ran faster than Jinhyeok and reached the top of the castle walls in one go.

Seira caught the Eternal Cold Iron that Jinhyeok threw and pulled it up with all her strength.

“Whoa.”

Jinhyeok reached the top in an instant from the recoil.

He looked back at Windsor Castle.

Pink fog had already spread throughout the entire inner castle.

Various screams could be heard from here and there, as if people had fallen into hallucinations.

‘Well then, good luck.’

After leaving a light greeting, he jumped down from the castle walls.

The queen kidnapping… no, rescue operation was complete.

Sofia and Philip, who had come outside, looked up at the sky.

Thud thud thud thud thud thud.

A helicopter gradually lowering its altitude while scattering fierce winds.

Those who had been in the waiting room also all came out and watched the landing helicopter.

They had already received reports that the operation was successful.

But it was content that was hard to believe and logically impossible.

So they had rushed out barefoot to confirm it with their own eyes.

The helicopter finally landed completely.

Charles and Olivia appeared from under the stopping propeller.

A stretcher in their hands.

Sofia moved forward after confirming who was lying on it.

“Grandmother…!”

When there were people watching, she maintained royal etiquette, but now she couldn’t do that.

Elisia didn’t respond to Sofia’s voice despite her breathing being normal.

“I heard she had collapsed…”

Those who approached let out sighs.

A coma of unknown cause.

The rescue was successful, but whether she could wake up was uncertain.

“What did they do to Her Majesty the Queen?”

Then Jinhyeok appeared, lifting someone by the scruff of their neck.

“Let’s ask him.”

Leo dangled and stared at the people lined up.

His face was full of bewilderment.

Where am I? Who am I?

The gazes of the people, including Philip, focused on Leo.

More precisely, it was drawn to Jinhyeok, who was behind Leo.

The eastern prodigy who casually turns the impossible into the possible.

With the appearance of this tsunami-level variable that no one had anticipated, the game began to turn upside down.
