Only I Have Two Towers Episode 221
Trap
While walking toward the encampment.
Yodel Ranger unit leader Kancheo let out a rough breath.
“Infiltration! It’s been so long!”
“Did you do it often before?”
“Of course! Infiltration without being detected by anyone is the most basic of basics for Yodel Rangers!”
“Ooh. You’ve never been caught even once?”
“That’s right! Well, there was one time during infiltration when I was raiding a snack storage and ran into an enemy!”
“Then you were caught, weren’t you?”
“I blew them away with clay without a trace, so it’s as good as not being caught!”
Gulp!
Eliminating witnesses means it doesn’t count.
Truly a dangerous Yodel friend.
“Let’s go stealth.”
“Roger!”
Kancheo and Jinhyeok used stealth as they approached the encampment.
“Kancheo, hold the compass. Give me directions.”
“Understood. Initiating infiltration and assassination operation.”
“There’s no assassination though?”
“Eh.”
His perky ears drooped in disappointment.
“Instead, there’s annihilation. Let’s blow it up once we find the operation orders.”
Perk perk perk!
“Good! As expected of the Captain. Totally cola!”
He seemed to want to express “refreshing.”
Kancheo climbed onto his shoulder and surveyed the encampment.
Then he opened his mouth with an incredibly serious and stern expression.
“Reporting! I’ve discovered two possible infiltration routes. One is a dog hole, but the Captain probably can’t fit through. The other is a wall, and that one looks good.”
“Huh? We’re going through the main gate.”
“Eh?!”
Carrying the frozen Kancheo, he headed toward the encampment’s main gate.
Kancheo swallowed dryly as he watched Jinhyeok.
‘As expected of the Captain…! His capacity is the size of a king-sized frying pan!’
Snap!
He gave a sharp salute to the back of Jinhyeok’s head.
Infinite loyalty stack of one hundred completed!
Jinhyeok looked around at the monsters in front.
Grrrr… Hissss… Hissss…
Hundreds of ghouls and skeletons wandering around the encampment in regular patterns and intervals.
Since they were monsters without any notable detection abilities, there was no risk of being caught as long as they didn’t make loud noises.
He carefully maneuvered to avoid collisions and stopped for a moment.
A ghoul limping along, brushing past them.
Stiiiiink!!
A tremendous rotting smell assaulted his nose.
It wasn’t this bad just moments ago.
It seemed there were some particularly decayed ones among the undead.
“Captain. My nose is rotting…!”
Kancheo covered his nose and dry-heaved.
Since he had exceptional sense of smell, the damage seemed considerable.
Feeling urgent, he picked up the pace.
He had to get out before Kancheo threw up on the back of his head.
“Puhaaa!”
Finally arriving at the main gate, he let out the breath he’d been holding.
“Kancheo, are you okay?”
When there was no response, he turned around.
Yodel Ranger Kancheo had his eyes closed with a peaceful expression.
Kancheoooo!!!
Pat pat.
“Eh?”
After tapping his fluffy cheeks a couple times, he barely opened his eyes.
“Grandpa Toto was waving from across the river, telling me to come over.”
Thank goodness. It wasn’t too late.
But Grandpa Toto is alive and well, so why!?
Dismissing the pointless question that arose, he moved forward.
First, the operation orders.
Ding!
[You have arrived at the Skull Knight Encampment!]
[The moment your infiltration is discovered, all Skull Knights in the encampment will swarm you!]
[The operation orders will be incinerated before that happens!]
[There’s a low probability of unexpected reinforcements appearing! They are exceptionally capable individuals among the Skull Knights, so be careful!]
Just when he thought it was being unusually helpful, it laid down ominous foreshadowing.
Truly an annoying system friend.
He looked up at the Skull Knight creaking as it guarded the main gate.
With a build over 2 meters tall and thoroughly equipped armament.
It was in a completely different weight class from the wandering ghouls.
‘Passing through.’
He passed the two Skull Knights and entered the encampment.
“The bone guys have done quite well for themselves.”
“Right. I thought they’d be living haphazardly, but there’s actually some order.”
“They’re carrying various weapons too.”
“They must be grouped by military branch.”
“Interesting. Yodel Rangers don’t have branches.”
“Couldn’t Kancheo create them?”
“No. Even if we recruit many later, I won’t create them. A true Yodel Ranger must be able to do everything.”
“Nice.”
Unit leader Kancheo aimed for a typical elite special forces unit.
May luck be with our Yodel friend’s future unit!
“This way.”
They passed the archer unit and turned into a side path.
Axe soldiers guarding the passage.
Again, he passed through like flowing water without much concern.
And after just a few steps, he stopped.
“Captain? What’s wrong?”
Kancheo whispered quietly.
After letting out a contemplative sound, he glanced back.
Two Skull Knights still staring in the opposite direction.
“Just for a brief moment, it seemed like one of them followed us with its eyes.”
“Eh? There’s no way those skeleton scraps could detect mine and the Captain’s presence. However.”
Kancheo widened his eyes and lowered his voice even further.
“The Captain’s senses are as sharp as pinking shears. If you felt that way, it’s worth checking out. Yodel Ranger Unit Commander Kancheo, ready to deploy at any time.”
After vigorously patting the reliable Kancheo, I asked.
“The distance and direction to the operation orders are still the same?”
“That’s correct.”
“Then that’s fine. Since they’re willing to pretend not to know, there’s no need to refuse. We’ll find out when we arrive.”
“Roger.”
Kancheo snorted.
“It was getting so easy that discipline was about to slacken, but now it’s getting interesting.”
“Right. I wonder what they’ve prepared.”
I stepped forward even more boldly, following the Yodel Compass.
I deliberately made sounds I hadn’t been making, but still no one looked back.
Kancheo perched on my shoulder like a meerkat, constantly surveying the encampment.
“50 archers 200 meters to the west, 100 behind the tent 100 meters to the northeast, 100 to the east. The operation orders are 50 meters ahead. That building. It’s a formation where we’ll be surrounded as soon as we enter.”
Kancheo, having confirmed the enemy positions, looked at the back of Jinhyeok’s head.
‘Incredible…!!!’
Unless they had noticed our intrusion, such positioning was unnatural.
As Jinhyeok said, they were definitely trying to lure us in.
‘Loyalty!!’
With his chest swelling with grandeur, he saluted the back of Jinhyeok’s head like before.
Another loyalty stack was being accumulated.
“I’m going in.”
How kind of them to even leave the door open.
I had no choice but to go.
A space where sunlight didn’t enter, limiting visibility.
I concentrated my mind with the fighting spirit wrapped around my body.
So as not to miss even a speck of dust passing by.
The presence of Skull Knights felt not far away.
But they didn’t attack.
They seemed to want to lure us in a bit more.
Step.
Finally escaping the maze-like path.
“Kekeke…”
An eerie laugh could be heard.
“Welcome, intruder.”
A massive monster rising from the dark space.
The Skull Knights I’d seen so far carried weapons like bows, axes, and swords.
But this one held a book carved with strange patterns.
Ding!
[The dice of misfortune rolled due to floor enhancement!]
[Misfortune strikes and you encounter Ophilium, strategist of the 7th Skeleknight Legion who came to inspect the encampment!]
[This is an individual that boasts the greatest intellect among Skull Knights!]
“Reveal yourselves. I’ve been aware of your presence since you set foot in the encampment.”
I maintained stealth and looked at Ophilium.
A monster that spoke so clearly and distinctly.
I really made the right choice to enhance this.
This was much more interesting than floors where I just beat everything up one-sidedly.
“Kekeke… Hopeless mortals. I wondered how impressive you’d be, sneaking into that person’s encampment, but you’re just one yodel and one human.”
He kept muttering on and on, but I wasn’t particularly curious about the content.
What I was really curious about was.
“How did you know?”
The method by which he detected me and the Yodel Ranger.
I needed to hear this for future reference.
“Even with death before you, you’re curious about such things.”
“Please think of it as the final mercy of an immortal for a pitiful mortal.”
“Kahahaha!!!”
He seemed pleased with the flattery.
Ophilium burst into wild laughter and opened the book he was holding.
Purple energy seeped out and drew a map in the air.
The map was marked with thousands of black dots and two red dots.
Anyone could see those two were me and Kancheo.
‘So it was a map hack.’
I sighed in relief and looked at Kancheo.
“That’s a relief. It wasn’t that our presence was detected.”
“As expected. How could that skeleton catch the Captain and me? It would take 3 years.”
“Isn’t that too near in the future?”
“Then 5 years!”
While I smiled at his cute insignificance.
Skull Knights appeared from all around the chamber.
Dozens emerged from the path we’d just taken, blocking our retreat.
“No need to fear. Death is just another beginning. You seem skilled at stealth, so I’ll raise you as Shadow Reapers! Kahaha… ha…??”
Ophilium, who had been letting out a sinister laugh, made a question mark.
Something tiny suddenly entered his vision, walking toward the yodel and human.
“I brought this too since it was nearby!”
The tiny thing cheerfully shouted and handed the human a scroll and a small vial.
It looked terrifyingly familiar, but why?
Ophilium, who had been puzzled, turned around.
“!?!?!?!?!”
It was fortunate he had no eyeballs.
If he had, they would have popped out.
They had vanished like a lie.
The operation orders and the vial containing master Mortarion’s power that had been there just moments ago.
“Well done, Momo.”
I vigorously patted her chubby cheeks.
While Ophilium’s attention was focused elsewhere, Agent Momo had efficiently retrieved the operation orders.
“Sneaky step how about that!! Skull head totally clueless how about that!”
“Excellent! Puhehehehe! Look at that skeleton’s jaw hanging open!”
“Did his eyeballs already pop out?! They’re gone!”
Gulp!
The two little ones’ relentless personal attacks.
Thank goodness.
That they were on my side.
If they weren’t, I think I’d really be pissed off.
“Bring them back!!!”
Sure enough, he was very angry.
Ophilium roared roughly and burst with purple light in his eyes.
Whether he did or not, Jinhyeok smiled and pointed at the map in the air with his finger.
Ophilium reflexively shifted his gaze.
He had to be shocked once again.
They were being erased at an impossible speed.
The black dots on the map representing allied forces.
A single red dot that started from the encampment entrance and instantly rushed right up to their noses.
Ophilium instinctively stepped back.
‘What… what’s coming?’
There was no need to wonder for long.
Kwaaaaang!!!
Because the entire roof of the building flew off, revealing what was beneath.
A Black Knight wielding a holy sword.
The Knight gazed down with a noble bearing despite being in the middle of a battlefield.
She was waiting for something.
Not long after that.
“Seira, kill.”
The command was given.
Swish!!
And that was the end.
The head of Ophilium, strategist of the 7th Skeleknight Legion, fell as it was cut by holy power.
Ding!
[You have obtained the Immortal Legion Operation Orders!]
[You have achieved the clear condition for the 73rd Floor of the Reinforced Tower of Despair!]
[You have defeated the named monster Ophilium, strategist of the 7th Skeleknight Legion!]
[You acquire an unidentified vial that Ophilium possessed!]
