Only I Have Two Towers Episode 247
I told you not to forget, didn’t I?
It was a fleeting moment.
Swooooosh…!
A pitch-black curtain was drawn in front of the dais.
The forces that had been rushing forward with ominous energy slowed their pace.
And shortly after, when the curtain was lifted, it revealed itself.
A clear line drawn between the Black Knight and the forces.
“Do not cross this line.”
Seira pointed the Dark Sword Tarkan.
“If you cross this line and try to reach my master, I will cut you down.”
A heavy silence fell over the square.
Those watching from afar could only draw question marks.
It seemed like a collision would happen at any moment, but suddenly there was silence.
“M-Minude sir! W-what should we do!”
“Please give us instructions!”
“Orders…!!”
Knight Minude, who was leading the vanguard and commanding, broke out in cold sweat.
He wanted to yell at those ignorant bastards.
To just shut up.
He barely managed to move his eyes to stare at the knight in front.
She wasn’t particularly large.
Just a bit tall, with a typical woman’s build.
But why was it?
He felt blocked by an absolutely impenetrable wall.
More precisely, his extremely heightened instincts were predicting the future.
A vivid future where his head would fly off the moment he crossed that line.
Seira, who had been looking at Minude, opened her mouth.
“Knight. Trust your instincts. Those instincts are never wrong.”
Before her voice could even fade away.
“What are you doing!! I told you to stop them right now!!”
Porkan’s roar erupted.
“Minude sir!”
“We must attack immediately!”
“Minude sir!!”
In front was an immeasurable monster, behind was Porkan.
While he was stuck unable to do either, multiple footsteps could be heard.
The citizens of Etherapolis who had been watching from afar.
Thanks to this, not only Porkan but everyone in the standoff turned their gaze there.
“Wh-what is this now….”
Nothing made sense anymore.
The citizens who usually stayed quiet as mice had blocked the path between the dais and the forces.
“We’ve been silent all along. When heroes fell, when comrades who fought alone were driven away.”
An old man who used to be a puppet magitech engineer stepped forward.
“That alone is shameful enough that we can’t lift our faces. But if we stay silent this time too…. I don’t think we could forgive ourselves.”
“If you’re going to harm Beila, kill us first!!”
“We won’t move a single step from here!”
This time it wasn’t just Minude.
The entire force began to waver.
They had no choice.
Those blocking their path weren’t complete strangers.
They were family or neighbors they had grown up watching.
Jinhyeok, who was watching this, smiled.
As expected, he hadn’t seen wrong.
The spark was still alive.
By the way.
Why isn’t this one moving?
He looked down at Beila.
He had definitely inserted the heart as Ruwolpeu had told him, but she wasn’t moving at all.
Wondering if he needed to wind some kind of spring, he was looking around when.
‘Oh shit.’
He made eye contact.
With Beila’s teal eyes that had opened at some unknown time.
“Ah, hello.”
He barely managed to squeeze out a greeting, but the reaction wasn’t very promising.
Beila just blinked and stared at Jinhyeok.
“Who are you?”
“I’m Grandpa Ruwolpeu’s friend.”
“Ruwolpeu sir is my father’s disciple.”
He was slightly surprised.
She calls him father.
“You are my father’s disciple’s friend.”
“It’s a bit long, but yes.”
Beila raised her hand and tilted her head.
“Why am I moving? I shouldn’t be moving. That’s why I removed the sphere.”
“You removed the sphere? By yourself?”
This was the first time he’d heard this.
And it was fascinating too.
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“I was created to protect peace. But when I move, I harm the city’s peace.”
It was a way of thinking believable enough to be human, yet lacking the selfishness that humans inevitably possess.
“It’s okay. Not anymore. Can you see the people protecting you now?”
“Citizens of Etherapolis. The targets I must protect.”
“Right. Those people are now protecting you.”
“It’s strange. I’m the one who should be protecting, so why are they protecting me?”
“You could say they’re returning what they received.”
He smiled at Beila who was tilting her head.
Rather than explaining with words now, it might be better for her to understand on her own later.
It’s definitely not because it’s hard to explain and he’s trying to dodge it.
“These useless bastards!!!”
His patience seemed to have reached its limit.
Porkan, who screamed loud enough to hurt ears, activated his magitech circuit.
Brilliant light and massive stimulation applied to his muscles.
His whole body began to convulse as his bulk grew larger and larger.
“I’ll just kill you all! You insect-like bastards!!!”
He had held back until now because of that variable called the Outsider.
But there was no need for that anymore.
Because they had already awakened.
The calamities that would be more than enough to tear apart that variable.
Porkan stretched her hand toward the sky.
“In the name of Porkan Beldor, head of the Management Bureau, I declare! The rotten Etherapolis meets its end!!”
Above the magitech city of Etherapolis.
The things that had been sleeping there began to fall.
Magitech weapons developed with most of the city’s budget invested.
Porkan glared at Jinhyeok sitting on the dais.
“That composure of yours ends here!!”
Porkan spread both arms wide, timing it with the weapons’ descent.
“Now! The advent of disaster!!!!”
Kuaaaaaaang!!
Heavy chunks of metal fell, sending vibrations throughout the entire square.
Continuous sounds of friction and explosions followed.
And at some point.
“…?”
Porkan could only draw a question mark.
The relentless sounds were, how to put it, less like weapons falling and more like scrap metal being dumped carelessly.
She raised her head to look at the dais.
The Outsider still overflowing with composure.
Watching that figure, an indescribable chill washed over her.
Thud.
And here, the falling sounds had stopped at some point.
‘That can’t be. It’s impossible. It can’t be.’
Denying reality in every way, she slowly turned around.
Dust clouds rose, limiting visibility, but she could instinctively tell.
What was there wasn’t the magitech weapons Porkan had been waiting for.
Suaaaa.
As the dust clouds thinned, they began to emerge.
The gleaming eyes of beings watching from atop the scrap pile created by obliterating the legion Porkan had been waiting for.
“Our Yodel Rangers friend is quite curious. He discovered this while testing various things with his compass. But Porkan.”
Jinhyeok, who had risen from his seat, gazed at Porkan.
“You were just shouting about doom and disaster with such confidence. Surely you weren’t relying on just that pathetic thing, were you?”
Naturally, Porkan couldn’t answer.
Not even when Jinhyeok came down from the dais and walked through the parted crowd toward Porkan.
Thump thump thump thump.
Porkan’s heartbeat quickened.
At the same time, her brain’s rotation also accelerated.
First, the two guys on the scrap pile, Chain and Tattoo.
The ones who had casually turned magitech weapons into scrap metal.
The odds of victory were slim.
And the Black Knight in front of the dais—she instinctively realized.
That she was the strongest in this space.
Then there was only one option she could take.
The Outsider from outside the Tower, who had somehow used magic to bring those beings into the city.
If she killed him, everything might end.
Kugugugugugu.
She concentrated the power of the magitech circuits in one place.
Before they could reach this place, while everyone was off guard.
She had to end it in one strike.
She focused on the approaching footsteps.
And when she heard the sound once more.
Sgaaaaaaaak!!
She swung the magitech spear mounted on her arm.
An ultra-high-speed spear with maximum speed amplification.
Dodging at this distance was impossible.
Kwang!!
A harsh friction sound was heard.
Two greatswords that had been drawn at some point blocked the spear.
Porkan frowned.
‘He was a swordsman…!’
She hadn’t thought of it.
When Porkan’s fist had thrust right to his nose a few hours ago, he had been barehanded.
“Whoa, you’re strong.”
Porkan gritted her teeth.
That was what she wanted to say.
It was a spear with all the circuit’s power concentrated.
To receive it head-on without even a slight push back.
Kang!
Jinhyeok, who had pushed away the spear, opened his mouth.
“But it seems magitech circuits don’t help much with memory.”
He instantly closed in and swung his sword.
“I told you. The reason you’re alive was thanks to that one step you didn’t cross.”
This time was different.
Porkan hadn’t maintained that distance.
“Insolent words!!!”
She concentrated circuits where the sword would reach.
Porkan’s body, made of magitech itself.
Her reinforced body wouldn’t be cut by such a sword.
Kwang!!!
As she expected, the sword couldn’t cut her body.
Nevertheless.
Cough!
Blood gushed from her mouth.
Tremendous brute force applied to her body.
It felt like her brain was ringing.
“You’re tough.”
“I’ll kill you!!!”
Various magitech weapons emerged from Porkan’s body.
They crossed endlessly with Jinhyeok’s sword.
Kwang! Kang! Kwagagagak!!
‘Why is this happening.’
Porkan bit her lip.
‘Why won’t they hit…!!’
Attacks that continuously missed by a paper-thin margin.
Even attacks she was certain would hit slipped away just before reaching, driving her nearly insane.
In contrast, Porkan’s weapons were being destroyed one by one.
The accumulated damage that wouldn’t cut but kept building up was also at an ignorable level.
‘I need to settle this.’
She concentrated her mana circuits on her eyes to analyze Jinhyeok’s movements.
Impossibly efficient movement.
Jinhyeok never missed even the slightest gap the enemy showed.
‘This is it.’
Porkan’s lips curled upward.
And she intentionally exposed her vital spot to draw Jinhyeok in.
Sure enough, Jinhyeok reacted instinctively and was drawn deep inside.
After all, her body enhanced by magical engineering wouldn’t be cut.
There would be impact, but if she could take the enemy’s head in exchange, it would be more than worth it.
A victorious smile spread across Porkan’s face as Jinhyeok penetrated right below her.
‘Got you!!!’
And then, at the very moment she was about to strike down.
A voice reached her ears.
“You thought it wouldn’t cut, didn’t you?”
As soon as the words ended, a dark red aura wrapped around the greatsword.
“How naive. Very much so.”
Slash!
In an instant, Jinhyeok sliced through Porkan’s vital spot and passed by.
Porkan, her eyes bloodshot, turned to look at Jinhyeok.
“You damn bastard… You were aiming for this from the start…”
Before Porkan could finish her words.
Pshwaaaaaaak!!!
Blood gushed forth.
