Only I Have Two Towers Episode 282

How to Pierce a Shield

I realized it instantly.

That the person in the photo was Lee Kang-san.

Lee Kang-san was covered in blood from head to toe, bound by thick iron chains.

Below him were several clocks indicating this was a recently taken photo.

“Huuu.”

I steadied my breathing and called the Player Hunter Bureau.

# You are outside the service area.

I frowned.

My phone, which had been working fine just moments ago, was completely dead.

The moment I decided to borrow someone else’s phone.

I belatedly noticed.

The change that had come to Charles Bridge while I was distracted by the photo.

Where had all those tourists gone?

Charles Bridge, which is crowded 365 days a year, had become completely empty.

“There’s no need to be surprised. I haven’t done anything to Charles Bridge.”

I turned my head toward the voice.

There had been no presence at all just moments before.

He had appeared as if he had teleported.

“I’ve simply invited Hunter Cheon Se-yeon into my chamber for a moment.”

The man stopped at a distance of about three or four steps.

The man raised his hand and pointed behind Cheon Se-yeon.

“If you just go to that point over there, you can escape my chamber. Back to Charles Bridge bustling with tourists.”

“Is it you? This photo. The timing is too perfect.”

“That’s correct.”

Kuuung!!

Se-yeon unleashed her divine power.

“Answer within 5 seconds. The reason I shouldn’t kill you.”

“If I die, your friend dies too.”

“Is that all?”

“Even if Hunter Cheon Se-yeon leaves my chamber, your friend will die.”

Se-yeon gritted her teeth.

The man before her was confident.

Confident that she wouldn’t trade Lee Kang-san’s life for the life of some human she didn’t even know.

“What do you want?”

“For Hunter Cheon Se-yeon to come with me.”

“Is the South Korean Player Hunter Bureau the target?”

“Hardly. Even if it’s somewhat hot these days, isn’t it just one organization in a small country?”

“Then why?”

“Let’s say you were unlucky. You were the first to get caught in the trap I laid. Now, let’s end the conversation here. Unlike a monster like you, I can’t use my awakened ability for long. What will you do? Will you come with me?”

Even an idiot could tell it was a trap.

A disgustingly brazen trap that didn’t even try to hide itself.

But I couldn’t not go.

It was a trap set up that way from the beginning.

“Let’s go.”

Se-yeon, who had withdrawn her ability, walked toward the man.

The man extended his hand.

“Give me your phone.”

I handed it over obediently and spoke.

“Make it a video call. I need to confirm that Kang-san is alive. And don’t hang up until we reach our destination.”

Once we arrived, I would be able to figure out Lee Kang-san’s location.

I had to buy as much time as possible and then rescue him.

“Sure.”

The man smiled as he made the call.

After a moment, Lee Kang-san’s face appeared on the connected screen.

Irregular breathing sounds came through the speaker.

Se-yeon inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

His injuries were severe, but not immediately life-threatening.

“Is that enough?”

I nodded at the man who asked with a smile.

Then, as I was about to walk, I spoke.

“We’re not exactly on friendly terms to be exchanging smiles, so how about you stop grinning?”

“How can I not smile? A big fish just took the bait.”

Se-yeon smiled back and started walking.

Let’s see.

Whether you can keep grinning like that later too.

Several hours later.

Cheon Se-yeon, who had gotten off the helicopter, let out a hollow laugh.

I had thought they would take me to some secluded factory district.

But Wawel Castle, located in the middle of the city of Krakow?

Just how high up in the government would you need connections to pull off something like this?

‘Focus. Focus.’

I shook my head to dispel the distracting thoughts.

Such questions weren’t important right now.

I looked around Wawel Castle.

The range was sufficient.

I glanced sideways at the helicopter.

The man was saying something to the pilot and only now getting off the helicopter.

Se-yeon didn’t miss this small opportunity.

Pueong!!

I closed my eyes and unleashed my divine power.

Divine power shot explosively toward Wawel Castle.

Destroying those guys was the next problem.

First was rescuing Lee Kang-san.

‘Please please please.’

Se-yeon prayed desperately as her divine power began sweeping through Wawel Castle.

Please let him be there.

And not long after.

Rustle.

I opened my closed eyes.

Found him.

“What the…”

The man who sensed the energy looked up, but Se-yeon had already kicked off the ground and flown toward the castle.

Swooosh!

Se-yeon shot rapidly toward the location she had pinpointed.

Attacks flew at her from all directions, but she didn’t slow down or anything.

She simply trusted in her overwhelming power and took the hits with her body as she pressed forward.

Wawel Castle had come close before she knew it.

There was no time to look for a door.

‘Please understand. It’s because your descendants did wrong.’

Se-yeon likes history.

She treasures meaningful places and objects that much, but what can she do.

This is the fastest route.

Crash!!!

She smashed through the wall and entered the castle.

Enemies rushed at her as if they had been waiting.

They were wearing unfamiliar armor.

Clang!

Whether they did or not, she crushed them with brute force output and thrust her fist toward the ground.

Lee Kang-san is down here.

The corridor of Wawel Castle collapsed, unable to withstand the impact.

After breaking through two or three more times like that, a damp underground appeared.

She waved her arm to clear away the thick dust.

“Whooooo!”

She exhaled and turned her head.

Lee Kang-san was tied up exactly as she had seen in the video call.

He was still unconscious.

“You…!”

The Russian Man holding the phone extended his weapon.

Se-yeon lightly swung her palm as if swatting away a fly.

The man who was slammed down with a heavy friction sound dropped his head.

Se-yeon approached and checked Lee Kang-san’s condition.

“Haaaaah!”

She let out a sigh of relief.

Though she was still in the middle of enemy lines, her tension completely released.

“This old man, really. So unlike him.”

She grumbled complaints while breaking the chains.

He didn’t have as high a Tower clear count as Se-yeon or public recognition.

But among those holding positions at the Hunter’s Guild, there was no one who didn’t know Lee Kang-san.

A specialist in assassination and anti-personnel strikes.

Even before the Tower’s appearance, he had accumulated experience performing countless operations as a military member, plus an awakened class optimized for assassination.

When listing people you wouldn’t want as enemies, Lee Kang-san always made the top five.

“You better treat me later. For real.”

Multiple presences rapidly approaching.

She took out and equipped several pieces of equipment including a shield from her inventory.

Then she supported Lee Kang-san.

She had rescued the person she needed to rescue, and Wawel Castle was in the middle of the city center.

Let’s just blow up this damn castle refreshingly and get out.

And at this moment, someone watching the situation through cameras installed in the castle.

“I can only say it’s brutish. That ridiculous output and the human who casually smashes a historic castle with such output.”

It was because of that output that deflected most attacks completely.

The reason she was called invincible or South Korea’s shield.

The man leisurely tilted his wine glass.

Normally he wouldn’t have been this relaxed.

Because there would have been no way to break through that output.

But not now.

Soon a crack would appear.

From the inside, not the outside.

Back to Wawel Castle.

Kwaaaaang!!

With a loud explosion, the corridor was engulfed in flames.

‘How intense.’

Thanks to that, her guilt about destroying a historic castle lessened a bit.

They were the ones who destroyed it and set it on fire.

“Bear with the heat a little. You won’t get burned.”

She increased the output surrounding her body to envelop Lee Kang-san.

It was her interior that she would normally never give access to.

But she had no choice since she had to navigate through this chaotic bombardment for a while.

“Let’s go.”

Cheon Se-yeon ran down the corridor while supporting Lee Kang-san.

The waiting enemies poured down fire from the front.

Though she didn’t know if she was going the right way, she continued smashing through walls and moving forward.

Since Wawel Castle wasn’t infinite, the outside would eventually appear.

And meanwhile.

Slide.

Lee Kang-san’s drooping hand moved.

A sharp glint revealed itself from below his wrist.

At the tip of the glint was a dark purple liquid.

An extreme poison that would put someone in critical condition with just a graze.

The glint slowly moved toward Se-yeon’s nape.

“Cheon Se-yeon!”

A name called by a familiar voice in the middle of enemy lines.

As soon as she turned her head, she saw the approaching glint.

Smack!

She drove her fist straight into Lee Kang-san’s face.

“What a surprise. What’s with this old man.”

She swallowed dryly as Lee Kang-san went limp again.

Did she hit him too hard?

After placing her hand under his nose, she stroked her chest.

He was alive and well.

She threw away the glint and stared toward where the voice had come from.

Footsteps echoing from the dark corridor.

Light seeping through the windows illuminated the owner of the approaching footsteps.

“Huh? You are…?”

“Hello.”

It was someone she couldn’t fail to recognize.

She had just met her at Jinhyeok’s house a few days ago.

Roche let out a deep sigh and squinted one eye.

“We’ve met in a bad place with a bad relationship.”

Se-yeon similarly frowned and spoke.

“Don’t tell me Roche is also involved?”

“Rather than involved.”

Swoosh.

A cool mist seemed to rise, then giant scissors appeared.

“I’m on this side. Have been since birth.”

“That’s rather unfortunate.”

“Indeed it is.”

A brief silence flowed.

Se-yeon opened her mouth.

“Why did you help me? We’re enemies.”

The timing of her calling out my name was too perfect to dismiss as coincidence.

“Well, I’m not sure either….”

“There she is! Balikits!”

As she was about to answer, about a dozen soldiers revealed themselves.

The troops crossed the corridor and positioned themselves around Roche.

The soldiers simultaneously activated their abilities and aimed at Se-yeon.

And just as they were about to unleash their attack.

Swish!

Several lines were drawn through the dark corridor.

Cough!

A soldier spitting blood looked down at the weapon that had pierced through his stomach.

Then he slowly turned his head.

“H-how….”

Splaaash!

The soldiers collapsed in a heap, spraying thick blood across the corridor.

Roche wiped the blood that had splattered on her face with an utterly indifferent expression.

Roche smiled as she looked at the stunned Se-yeon.

“I’m not really sure either. Let’s just call it…. a small whim.”

Roche stepped aside a couple of paces and tilted her head.

“Hurry up and go. If you dawdle around, he might come, you know? The Nameless Monster of Russia.”

Se-yeon nodded and began walking alongside Roche.

She still had no idea what was going on or how things were unfolding.

She didn’t understand, but she felt certain of one thing.

Roche, the mysterious force called Balikits.

Right now, she had to trust her.
