Only I Have Two Towers Episode 246

Dropped from the Sky

Etherapolis Administration Bureau.

Porkan Beldor stopped moving her fork.

Then she raised her head and stared at the trembling soldier.

“What did you say? Say it again.”

It wasn’t that she hadn’t heard properly.

Even so, she had no choice but to ask again.

It was such an unrealistic story.

“G-General Modoro’s Beila arm has disappeared.”

Crash!!

The table split and the plates and food on it spilled everywhere.

“What kind of bullshit is that? What was General Modoro doing and where while the arm was being taken? And why isn’t he here right now? Does he think losing the arm is nothing?”

“N-No. General Modoro is currently in the regeneration room. It seems he was injured in the process of having the arm stolen.”

Porkan’s eyebrows twitched.

The position of general wasn’t some neighborhood dog’s name.

He had risen to that rank by having his military prowess recognized, yet he was defeated.

“Take him out and bring him here immediately. I need to ask what happened.”

“T-That’s… impossible. The regeneration room says his face was completely smashed. All his teeth are broken and there’s not a single intact part including his nose and cheekbones, so recovery is uncertain…”

“Lady Porkan!”

Before the report could even finish, several soldiers burst in.

A chilling sensation crept up the back of Porkan’s neck.

Why was this happening?

She hadn’t even heard the report yet.

But looking at those pale faces, she felt like she knew what the content would be.

Porkan steadied her breathing and opened her mouth.

“Please don’t tell me it’s news that Beila’s parts have disappeared.”

“!!!”

The soldiers who had been competing to report all shut their mouths at once.

Crunch!

The chair she was sitting on crumbled.

“You lost everything?! Every single piece without exception!?! What about the generals?”

“The regen…”

“Are they in the regeneration room too?”

“G-General Rebriya had his head blown off and died.”

“Ha!!!”

She pressed her forehead.

She had no idea what she was hearing right now.

These were the most renowned figures in Etherapolis, yet they were all either in the regeneration room or the morgue?

Did such an absurd joke even exist?

A face flashed through her mind as she stood up.

“Where’s the Outsider?”

“T-The square.”

“I’m going to the square. I’ll go first, so follow me.”

Whooom!!!

There was no time to prepare transportation.

She immediately kicked through the window and jumped out.

Porkan trampled through the city’s buildings indiscriminately as she headed toward the square.

When she crossed the last wall, she could see the Outsider below.

“Hah.”

A hollow laugh escaped her.

Did he mistake this for his own bedroom or something?

The Outsider was sprawled out carelessly.

On top of the platform that had contained Beila’s upper body, no less.

Thud!!

Porkan landed and steadied her breathing.

Then she asked the troops guarding this place.

“How long has that guy been here?”

“He returned about 10 minutes after you left, Lady Porkan. Since then, he’s only been taking food out of his bag to eat or drinking something, and just sleeping like he is now.”

Below the platform lay a large bag.

Inside it were numerous wrappers.

The more she looked, the more absurd it became.

This was practically enemy territory, yet he had been eating that junk?

“Recall your memories. There must have been a moment when he disappeared.”

“T-The Outsider from outside has been in that spot the entire time.”

Porkan’s eyes widened.

“That can’t be. Did you leave your posts while on guard?”

“A-Absolutely not! Everyone maintained their positions!”

She surveyed the troops.

There were nearly thirty personnel.

It made no sense for all of them to leave their posts at once.

Moreover, the square had magical engineering devices installed to detect movement.

Even if a single ant entered, the Administration Bureau would know, so it was impossible to deceive the soldiers’ eyes and escape.

With her head heating up, she walked toward the platform.

The Outsider was even snoring, regardless of whether she came or not.

“Get up.”

No response.

“I ordered you to get up.”

Still no response.

Her blood pressure rose.

She could guarantee it was the first time.

The first time she had wanted to strike someone down and kill them this badly.

Just as she couldn’t hold back any longer and was about to reach out, the Outsider finally raised his head.

“You’re back again.”

“What did you do?”

Jinhyeok stretched lazily and tilted his head.

“What? I was yawning so I didn’t hear you well.”

Tremble tremble!

Perhaps because her patience had reached its limit.

A slight tremor came to Porkan’s fingertips.

But she had to endure it for now.

The most important thing in battle was eliminating variables.

As soon as Kandina awakened those things, all variables would disappear.

She just had to wait a little longer.

“Where did you take them? Beila’s parts.”

“Me? I was sleeping peacefully here.”

Porkan glared at Jinhyeok, who was utterly nonchalant.

But there was nothing she could find.

He was still relaxed and there wasn’t the slightest waver in his eyes.

“If you don’t believe me, ask those people over there. Whether I ever left my spot.”

Jinhyeok smiled at Porkan, who remained silent for a while.

He had heard it through Rosanna.

All kinds of detection-type magical engineering devices were installed at the city walls and entrances surrounding the city of Etherapolis.

Because of this, it was absolutely impossible for anyone to enter without the city’s approval.

This integrity was probably scrambling Porkan’s mind.

‘You must be wondering how such a thing is possible?’

No matter how hard she racked her brain and researched with magical engineering, she would never figure it out in her lifetime.

More precisely, there was nothing to figure out.

Because I really didn’t do anything here.

The roughly 10 minutes of time given after Porkan left.

That was more than enough.

-Yodel Ranger Unit Leader Kancheo! I have received orders from the Captain!

It was enough time to give Kancheo the Yodel Compass and distribute tasks to my friends.

“No, it’s you.”

A cold light leaked from Porkan’s magical circuits.

Her emotions were fluctuating.

“Only you. You are the only variable in this city.”

“Search me. See if even one of Beila’s parts comes out.”

Porkan, who had steadied her breathing, sneered.

“What exactly would change? Even if by some chance, by one in ten million chance you complete Beila, what would change? Nothing would change. This place, Etherapolis, is not a place that can be changed by a mere doll.”

“Is that so? I don’t think so.”

I slowly looked around.

Porkan’s eyes followed Jinhyeok’s gaze.

“It seems to have changed already.”

Just as I had initially expected.

The spark of Etherapolis had not been extinguished, only suppressed by overwhelming force.

Those people who had come out to watch the square, unlike before, were proof of that.

Porkan bit her lips.

The outsider was right.

The citizens were stirring.

No, the city was stirring.

At the appearance of hope that seemed impossible.

“Lady Porkan! Ruwolpeu’s house is empty! No one is there! General Rosanna is nowhere to be seen either!”

“Where did they hide?”

“Well, perhaps they went for a walk.”

Ruwolpeu had moved to the location Rosanna had prepared.

Because magical engineering equipment was needed to revive Beila.

-There are those who have been quietly waiting for the right time.

Perhaps I had gained their trust only after collecting all of Beila’s parts.

Rosanna had spoken.

That they too would move when Beila was revived.

I quietly looked at Porkan before opening my mouth.

“You must have been very afraid. Of Beila.”

“What?”

“Not only did you panic and dispose of all the dolls, but you even persecuted and oppressed the doll-making magical engineers.”

Her reaction was different from before.

Instead of shouting angrily, Porkan took a step closer and parted her lips.

“That damn thing wasn’t just a simple doll. A killing machine that should only move according to orders made autonomous judgments. It decided on its own who to kill and who not to kill.”

“I heard. That it spared the children in the enemy nation’s shelter.”

“If it weren’t for me, that doll would have devoured this city before long. Etherapolis should be grateful to me.”

“Is that pathetic excuse the justification for all the things you’ve done? Well, since you say you did it for Etherapolis, let me ask you one thing.”

I leaned forward and continued.

“Has the combat doll Beila ever harmed a person from Etherapolis?”

Porkan didn’t answer.

It was a natural reaction.

Because it was zero.

This time I changed the question slightly.

“What about you? How many people from Etherapolis have you harmed in the name of doing it for the city?”

Naturally, Porkan couldn’t answer.

Even if the comparison wasn’t against zero, it was far too large a number.

Porkan, her face coldly hardened, barely managed to speak.

“History will judge who is right.”

“I wonder. Everyone except you seems to know who’s right.”

I looked around at the people who had come out.

“What do you see in their eyes? You wouldn’t say you see respect.”

Anyone who wasn’t a fool would know.

What was carved there was fear, terror, and suppressed anger.

“They are…”

“Don’t know anything? That’s strange. I see it differently.”

Porkan, who was about to say something, closed her mouth.

“What a waste of time.”

Porkan, having ended the conversation, turned around.

And she commanded the soldiers.

“Surround the square completely. Don’t let even an ant pass through.”

“Yes!”

The square was a place of symbolic significance.

No matter what, the completed Beila must not return.

“Mobilize all forces to find Ruwolpeu and Rosanna. Beila has no heart. To make even something similar would require the latest magical engineering facilities. There can’t be many places.”

“Yes!”

Porkan steadied her breathing.

She had momentarily lost her composure, caught up in the outsider’s pace.

But that was all.

Nothing would change.

No matter how excellent a doll craftsman Ruwolpeu was, he couldn’t completely replace the existing heart.

To make even something similar would take at least a month or more.

There was still plenty of time.

이쪽이 급할 건 전혀 없……. 삐이이이이이이—-!!!

An alarm sound indicating an intrusion burst out.

Porkan turned her head toward the source.

Porkan’s eyes widened.

A black armored knight appeared from the sky and landed like a feather on the platform.

In the knight’s arms was Beila with all her parts connected.

“Lady Porkan!!”

“Don’t get excited. It’s pointless.”

Porkan, her eyes widening, steadied her breathing.

There was no heart anyway.

That Beila would never move again… Huh?

A familiar sphere emerged from the outsider’s hand.

She couldn’t fail to recognize it.

It was Beila’s heart that Porkan had personally sent to another dimension.

Swooooosh…!

Sharp light burst forth from Porkan’s entire body.

That can’t happen.

Absolutely not.

“Stop her!!!”

Blood vessels bulged on his face.

“Kill her immediately!!!”

All the forces of Etherapolis who received the order.

Kwagagagagagaga!!!

Began rushing toward the center of the Square.
