Only I Have Two Towers Episode 252
Missiles to the House
“Eh?!”
Yodel Ranger Unit Commander Kancheo raised his head.
About a dozen beams of light shooting outward from the roof.
Below them was Beila, kneeling on one knee.
The aftershock that made her hair and long skirt flutter.
‘So incredibly cool…!’
It was a sight that made his eyes sparkle.
Kwaaaaang!!
Not long after, explosion sounds came from three directions.
All of them were in the sky more than 2 kilometers away from the house.
They were shot down by the light Beila had just fired.
Kancheo put away his assault rifle.
He had come out smelling explosives carried by the wind, but Beila had handled it one step faster.
Kancheo climbed down from the tree, scaled the wall, and went up to the roof.
Except for Ellia who was at the Starry Forge, Renia, Seira, and Dark were there.
“Interception complete.”
Beila stood up, retracting the railgun back into her arm.
Kancheo let out a rough breath.
He’d have to tell Momo about this later too.
Crack.
Renia cracked his neck and spoke.
“Where?”
“Three locations total. 4.8 kilometers west, 5 kilometers northeast, 4 kilometers south.”
Three people simultaneously kicked off the roof and flew up.
They didn’t need detailed locations.
They’d be able to detect presences if they got even a little closer.
Kancheo decided to obediently guard the house.
With his short legs, there was no way to arrive faster than those three.
“Beila is totally the best! So cool! What other weapons do you have?”
“I have nano gauntlets.”
A large grip formed on the arm opposite to the railgun.
Kancheo held his forehead.
He was getting dizzy from how cool it was.
“Show Momo later too!”
“Understood. Where is Momo? I don’t see her.”
“She swam for two hours and is now sprawled out sleeping. She wouldn’t wake up even if missiles hit the house.”
“Getting good sleep is important.”
“That’s true too. We can go down now.”
“Don’t we need to wait for the three of them?”
The corners of Kancheo’s mouth rose long.
“No need to wait. The guys who shot the missiles are as good as dead already.”
Kancheo and Beila turned their gaze toward where the three had scattered.
He wondered if the enemies knew.
That their lives hung by a thread.
And at that moment, on the rooftop of the building where Delta Squad was located.
“What, what is it?”
The squad members frowned.
They had fired from three directions to prepare for any possibility.
But not a single shot reached its destination.
# Delta Squad! What was that just now? What shot you down?!
“We don’t know! Something was fired from the target area!”
# Prepare to fire again!
“Yes sir!”
The man who finished the radio transmission turned his head.
“Everyone, reload…”
He had no choice but to stop speaking.
Because they no longer existed.
Not a single squad member to carry out the order.
Rustle.
Moonlight illuminated the woman stained with blood.
Red eyes glowing eerily between her brilliant silver hair.
What on earth was that?
Could it be a ghost?
Four squad members had been torn apart without him hearing even the slightest sound.
“I don’t know who you are, but.”
His hand moved to his pistol at the cold voice seeping into his ears.
“You tried to harm my master.”
Swoosh.
“Die.”
The man’s head flew off without even letting out a death cry.
Seira shook the blood off her sword.
Then she turned her head toward where gunfire could be heard.
Dudududududu!!!
South where Alpha Squad was located.
Click. Click. Click.
They tried pulling the trigger, but it was futile.
They had already used up all the ammunition they had.
“Th-this damn…”
The pale squad members stared straight ahead.
They had definitely turned him into a honeycomb.
Not just his head, but chest, lungs, liver – they had pierced through every vital spot.
But why was he standing up?
And how could he, after taking hundreds of bullets,
“Keke!”
Let out such laughter?
“Got any more?”
The man slowly approached with a bright smile.
The squad members drew the great swords from their thighs.
“D-die, you monster bastard!!”
Five men charged at once and thrust their swords.
This time too, the man didn’t dodge.
The man who took the swords as they were opened his mouth.
“Anyone want to live?”
Question marks appeared on the squad members’ faces.
It was as irrational a question as the irrational situation.
“First come, first served. One person.”
Did he wait even a second?
“I’ll choose.”
The chains swung from outside crushed the bodies of the four men.
The bodies of the unit members became rags, spilling out between the chains.
“Uh…?”
A unit member who had survived by chance looked around.
Though he had experienced countless battles in the cartel, this was a first.
Dark raised the corner of his mouth at the man trembling like an aspen leaf.
“Don’t be scared. I won’t kill you. However.”
Having said this much, Dark brought his face close to the unit member.
“You’ll soon envy them. The guys who just died.”
His vision blurred from the impact to his neck.
Thud.
Dark caught the fallen enemy and threw off his shirt.
He had just put it on after showering, but it had become rags.
“Caught one.”
He leisurely walked toward the mansion.
The other side would catch one more, right?
The western side where the Ross Sairous Headquarters was located.
Captain El Colmillo ran between the trees and leaped over the rocks.
“This is Head. Alpha, Delta, respond. Alpha! Delta!”
He gritted his teeth at the lack of response.
What the hell was going on?
He poked his head over the rock.
He had barely managed to create distance with his awakening ability, but the other unit members hadn’t.
“D-don’t come! Don’t come… Kyaaaah!!”
Crunch!
Once again, a bizarre sound echoed.
No more screams could be heard.
Swoosh!
Purple eyes leaving trails of light, tearing through the dark trees at tremendous speed.
El Colmillo looked down at his legs.
1 second left until ability recharge.
Once this charges, he could create distance again… Whoosh!
El’s pupils dilated.
Though there had definitely been quite a distance, the monster that had crushed his unit members was already right in front of him.
“Damn it!!”
He extended his pistol at point-blank range and pulled the trigger.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!! Click!
Cold sweat ran down his temple.
A being who had dodged all the bullets by a hair’s breadth.
He wondered what kind of human could do such a thing, but realized immediately upon facing him.
This wasn’t human.
He was a killer.
A killer who extinguished life more efficiently than anyone.
“You bastard!”
El Colmillo gritted his teeth and gripped his greatsword.
But the greatsword was never swung.
Four punches thrown at tremendous speed.
As a result, El Colmillo’s arms and legs were crushed.
Kyaa… Thud!
He wasn’t given a chance to scream.
“Noisy.”
Renia covered his mouth without any change in expression.
El Colmillo broke out in cold sweat at the purple eyes glinting before him.
Regardless, Renia grabbed El’s hair and kicked off the ground.
Let’s go to the mansion.
The master has returned.
Jinhyeok and Camilla, who had emerged from the frog, stared straight ahead.
Two men kneeling in terror.
‘Ugh.’
One of them already had his limbs mangled except for part of his torso.
“Tsk.”
Dark shook his head.
“As expected, brutish. Common sense dictates you should bring at least one alive, doesn’t it?”
“Why would I do such troublesome work when you, the weak one, will handle it.”
Seira replied indifferently.
Fortunately.
Renia wasn’t present.
He had almost provoked both of them simultaneously.
He slowly walked toward the two men.
And bent down.
“Hello.”
The two men, whose faces were beyond pale and now ashen, looked up.
This was the first human-like person they had met since coming here.
“I heard you fired missiles at my house. Could I hear the reason? It’s a house I just acquired, so it’s very precious to me.”
El Colmillo, drenched in cold sweat, sneered.
“I know you won’t let us live anyway. Just kill me.”
“That’s true though.”
He reached out and grabbed the intact unit member’s shoulder.
Crack!
“Kyaaaah!!”
“Whether I just kill you or not isn’t for you to decide. It’s for me to decide.”
“It’s useless. That guy doesn’t know anything anyway.”
“Is that so?”
When had he returned?
Renia, who had come close, pressed his foot into the unit member’s cervical vertebrae.
With a bizarre crushing sound, the unit member went limp.
Jinhyeok smiled at El Colmillo’s still resolute gaze.
Jinhyeok stood up and stepped back.
“You will talk.”
As soon as the meaningful words ended.
Whoooosh.
Camilla walked over with hazy smoke.
Camilla slightly bent her waist and placed her hand on El Colmillo’s head.
“It will be a bit horrific.”
Thump!
He felt as if he was being bounced away by something.
And it began.
A horrific experience he had never encountered once in his entire life.
National Intelligence Service of South Korea.
“An unidentified explosion occurred in Seongnam! Based on the scale, it appears to be a missile!”
“Reports of gunshots are pouring in one after another!”
The Control Room agents wore dumbfounded expressions.
This was the heart of South Korea, not some foreign country.
But missiles and gunfire?
What in the world was all this about?
“Damn it!”
Team Leader Moon Guk-hyeon, who was in charge of the Control Room, slammed his desk.
“With the situation like this, they still won’t tell us who the Runner is?!”
“It’s, it’s orders from above. The NIS says to only pass along information they collect to the Player Hunter Bureau.”
“How does that make any sense?!”
“What if it doesn’t make sense?”
At the question that came, Moon Guk-hyeon and the agents straightened up.
When had they arrived?
NIS Deputy Director Woo Man-ho and Intelligence Director Im Cheon-gu were staring at Moon Guk-hyeon.
“Don’t make unnecessary noise and just follow orders.”
“B-but Deputy Director! This is too one-sided! At least contact the Blue House…”
“You think we haven’t tried?”
Woo Man-ho and Im Cheon-gu weren’t without complaints either.
No matter how powerful the Player Hunter Bureau was, this request crossed the line.
So they had tried contacting the Blue House hotline, but ultimately it was completely useless.
‘That damn Runner Effect.’
The Runner who had brought tremendous diplomatic benefits to South Korea by defeating Mortarion, the Necromancer of the Century.
The Blue House no longer asked the Player Hunter Bureau who the Runner was.
Their stance had become one of overwhelming gratitude just for his existence, just for climbing the Tower of Despair from Korea.
With the situation like this, would the NIS’s complaints have any effect?
“For this matter, don’t think about it. Just empty your brain and pass along the information.”
Then they would move on their own.
The monsters possessed by the Player Hunter Bureau, called Rankers.
