Only I Have Two Towers Episode 245

What’s Broken Can Be Rebuilt

Rosanna bit her lip and turned her gaze away.

Porkan and the Management Bureau had banned doll creation and oppressed the related magitech engineers.

Everyone else had knelt down, but not Ruwolpeu.

He had resisted to the end, demanding that Beila, displayed like a trophy, be moved somewhere other than the square.

As a result, he was stripped of his citizenship and banished to the waste disposal site.

But that alone hadn’t been enough to satisfy them, it seemed.

-Tear her apart.

Porkan had dismantled the battle android Beila.

Beila, who had defeated enemies and saved people and the city, was truly a symbol of hope.

They had shattered that symbolism to pieces.

So that those who remained wouldn’t harbor false hope.

As a result, all that remained in the square now was her head and part of her torso.

The rest had been taken away by the Management Bureau’s generals, claiming they would keep them as personal collections.

“Ah…”

Ruwolpeu hung his head at the terrible sight.

He wanted to deny reality.

The android Beila, with whom he had spent so much time.

To his master and him, she had been like a daughter.

But while he had been wasting meaningless time at the disposal site, this had happened to her.

His whole body felt like it was crumbling from the guilt of failing to protect Beila.

This was exactly why Rosanna had said those words earlier.

It had never existed in the first place.

The very target they were supposed to retrieve and revive.

“Master Ruwolpeu.”

As Jinhyeok placed a hand on him, Ruwolpeu shook his head.

“It’s wrong. It’s all over. Everything’s been broken. It’s too late.”

“Didn’t you say Master Ruwolpeu was Etherapolis’s finest doll maker?”

“Nothing remains, so what does that matter now?”

“If we gather all the lost parts, can you fix her?”

“Stop it. How could we possibly find pieces scattered everywhere?”

“You said all androids except Beila were disposed of.”

Jinhyeok raised his head and looked at what remained of Beila in the square.

“That means only Beila was made from the same materials. So we can find them.”

The mysterious sphere that had contained the philosopher’s stone.

When he had applied it to the Yodel Compass, far too many reactions had appeared.

Because the materials used to make the sphere were overflowing in the magitech city of Etherapolis.

But Beila was a different story.

Since the Management Bureau had personally reduced the number, the Yodel Compass would show a meaningful direction.

“Raise your head. What’s broken can be put back together.”

Jinhyeok stood up and walked toward the center of the square.

Porkan’s lips curled with amusement at whatever she found so entertaining.

He addressed that Porkan.

“I can take this, right?”

“By all means.”

He leaped lightly onto the platform.

A height from which he could see the surroundings at a glance.

Only then did he notice them.

People watching this place through windows, through door cracks.

He couldn’t call them cowards.

When faced with overwhelming force, hiding and avoiding was the wise thing to do.

He removed the glass case from the platform and carefully lifted Beila.

Then he took a breath and raised his voice.

“I heard that Beila was the hope you all once held.”

After looking around once, he continued.

“She’s shattered to pieces now, but the ember hasn’t died out yet. From now on, I’ll piece together what’s broken and scattered to revive that ember. So.”

He smiled brightly.

“Wait just a little. The ember will soon blaze.”

KWAAAAANG!!!!

A tremendous vibration spread through the square.

A fist that struck down right next to Jinhyeok.

It was an attack from Porkan Beldor, accelerated by magitech weapons.

Thanks to that, a massive crater formed in the center of the square.

Red eyes glinted through the dust cloud.

“You don’t even realize I’m being lenient and try to cross the line, outsider.”

Porkan took a couple steps closer and looked down at Jinhyeok.

“I let you live because you sparked a bit of interest. Without that interest, you would have been crushed before you even knew it. So I hope you won’t provoke me further.”

Veins bulged on Porkan’s forehead.

War hero Beila.

It had taken years of effort to erase that symbolism.

But for some mere outsider to pull this stunt in front of everyone.

If it had been anyone else, she would have killed them a hundred times over.

“Is there perhaps such a law in Etherapolis? A law against reviving or mentioning Beila?”

“What?”

Porkan’s eyes narrowed.

What was this? This unrealistic reaction.

She had just displayed overwhelming martial prowess.

Normally, this would be a situation to be terrified.

Even if he didn’t bow his head, his voice should at least be trembling, but instead he seemed completely at ease.

“If there’s no such law, that was close. If I had been hit, you would have attacked an innocent person. Which means.”

Jinhyeok looked back at Porkan and raised the corner of his mouth.

“Even if I beat you to death, it would be self-defense.”

He slowly looked around Etherapolis.

If he wanted to, he could sweep away the entire Management Bureau right now.

The reason he didn’t was just one.

From Grandfather Ruwolpeu to General Rosanna he’d met earlier, to those hiding in their homes watching.

There were still people who hadn’t completely given up the ember of hope.

He wanted to give them something.

A chance to stand up again on their own, to resist what was rotten.

For that, he needed to show them the way.

Through the sight of Beila, the symbol of that ember, being revived.

But if they insisted on fighting to prevent that, there was no choice.

He was sorry to Ruwolpeu and the people, but he’d have to break them by force.

“What…? Beat me to death?”

Grrrrrr!!!

Porkan ground her teeth and raised her gauntlet again.

“So you ignore my mercy and hasten your own death!!”

Magitech circuits blazing with brilliant light.

Jinhyeok spread both arms wide.

“Please don’t miss this time.”

I’m not being arrogant.

Not bad.

It’s a simple, brutish route with no justification, but it’s also the fastest shortcut.

The steam-spewing gauntlet shot forward at tremendous speed.

I didn’t dodge or anything.

I just watched the approaching fist while wrapped in fighting spirit.

A moment later.

Kuuuuuuuu!!!!

The blast of wind that erupted disheveled my hair.

The magitech gauntlet stopped, leaving about a step’s distance.

I smiled.

How unfortunate.

I thought we could take the shortcut.

I raised my eyes to stare at Porkan Beldor, head of the Etherapolis Administration Bureau.

Through the steam, her pupils were trembling terrifyingly.

‘Why…!!!’

She had definitely thrown her fist intending to crush me.

But it stopped midway.

It wasn’t a judgment based on reason.

Something else had halted her movement.

The instinct that dominated her skin and nerves sent a warning.

That she would surely be killed the moment she made contact.

Though slightly different, she had felt a similar sensation before.

Near the end of the war in the past.

Porkan had witnessed the combat android Beila fighting.

The overwhelming martial prowess of dancing through the battlefield while cutting down enemies’ throats.

That must have been the moment.

When the seed of fear that would bloom wildly took root.

While Porkan was unconsciously drawing upon past memories.

The voice of the outsider from beyond the Tower seeped in.

“Don’t forget.”

The outsider’s eyes gleamed through the hazy steam.

“That this one step saved your life.”

The distance of one step she couldn’t advance.

Porkan bit her molars as she stared at it.

“My consideration for you being an outsider ends here. Take that trash and get lost. If you ever make me come looking for you again.”

Porkan’s eyes flashed menacingly.

“That will be your last.”

Any curiosity about the outsider melted away like snow.

All that existed now was explosive rage and hostility.

But since she couldn’t ignore her instinct’s cry, she had to retreat for now.

“We’re going back.”

Porkan turned around.

Anyway, it would be impossible for that outsider to recover Beila’s scattered parts.

The Management Bureau didn’t have just one or two generals, and the outsider didn’t even know which of them possessed Beila’s parts.

So she planned to prepare while that bastard wasted his efforts in vain.

A means to kill him with certainty, without even the slightest variable.

“Kandina.”

“Yes!”

“Wake the sleeping ones. Every single one. All of them.”

Kandina’s pupils shook greatly.

It was tantamount to saying wake the disasters they had barely managed to put to sleep, but she couldn’t dare question it.

If she did, her neck would be crushed before the outsider’s.

“Understood! I’ll carry it out immediately!”

“And tell each general. To dispose of all of Beila’s parts right now.”

“Yes!”

Porkan Beldor, head of the Management Bureau, let out a deep sigh.

She intended to repay today’s humiliation in full.

With the outsider’s death.

North of the Management Bureau.

General Modoro frowned.

“Dispose of them?”

“Yes. Lord Porkan directly commanded it. She said to dispose of them immediately.”

“Tsk.”

Modoro clicked his tongue and stood up.

Modoro walked to the spacious living room and stared at the glass wall.

It was regrettable to have to destroy Beila’s arm that he had barely obtained by winning a bet.

But what could he do.

He couldn’t risk Porkan’s wrath over a mere decoration.

He should just throw it into the magitech incinerator right away.

Modoro reached toward the glass wall.

And at that moment.

“Is this it? The thing called Beila’s parts.”

“!?”

He turned his head at the voice he heard.

When on earth had he come?

The owner of purple eyes with tattoos covering his entire body.

His appearance alone was enough to instill fear.

‘The, the magitech gun is…!’

Modoro glanced at the table across from Renia.

“I’ll wait, so go get it.”

“?!”

“Get it and pull the trigger.”

Modoro, who had been hesitating half in doubt, lunged toward the table.

Whatever he was thinking, this arrogant bastard who fearlessly snuck into a general’s quarters would pay the price.

“I’ll blow your head off!!”

Modoro aimed the gun barrel at Renia’s head.

There was no need for mercy toward an intruder.

He immediately pulled the trigger.

Kwaaaaah!

The laser beam shot out violently.

But that beam never reached Renia.

What on earth had happened.

Renia, who had definitely been right in front of the gun barrel, had somehow moved to the side.

“My master said so. That I could beat to death anyone who attacks me.”

At the fist slowly being raised.

Modoro’s face was colored with shock.

Craaack!!!

Somewhere in Etherapolis that General Rosanna had prepared.

Magitech engineer Ruwolpeu rubbed both his eyes.

He had no choice but to do so.

It was an utterly unbelievable sight.

Had it been two hours since Jinhyeok declared he would gather the parts?

They were all collected.

Every single part of the battle android Beila, that is.
