Only I Have Two Towers Episode 288

Assault

The secret military unit Spetsotriad, located in the heart of the snowy mountain range.

A place with the highest level of security, known only to a select few even within Russia.

The brigade commander’s office.

The man called Client leaned back against the sofa.

“They say even a worm will squirm when stepped on. I never expected Korea, which loves to stay silent, to make such a move.”

“Likewise.”

Colonel Vasilyov shook his head.

“It seems some Runner or whatever has gotten too cocky and forgotten their place. I’ll make sure to punish them properly, so there’s no need to worry.”

“Before that, you know what comes first, right? Let’s catch that traitor.”

“Of course.”

Vasilyov slammed his desk.

Valikiets Roche Nataliya.

To forget the grace of being fed and raised, and bite the hand that fed her.

Absolutely unforgivable.

“Setting aside those who were eliminated, why can’t we still contact General Anastasia?”

“All the lines in Poland have been cut, so it’ll take some time to investigate. Anyway… haah.”

Vasilyov pressed his forehead.

With the original plan derailed, the Wawel Castle operation had failed spectacularly.

But he didn’t think too seriously about it.

It was just one of many operations they’d conducted and would continue to conduct.

They could make up for it later.

However, separate from this, General Anastasia’s unexpected behavior was troublesome.

Not only had she left Wawel Castle while the situation deteriorated to this extent, but she wasn’t even responding to contact.

“Don’t tell me…”

Vasilyov, who had been puffing on his cigar, cautiously opened his mouth.

“Nothing went wrong, did it?”

Client burst into laughter.

“Something went wrong? With Anastasia the Flash? That’s ridiculous.”

This wasn’t baseless confidence.

Even if not at Wawel Castle where the stage was set, cities were full of lights everywhere.

As long as there was light, no one could catch Anastasia.

“We didn’t spend astronomical amounts of money supporting her for nothing. The class she awakened is rare even among Hidden classes. An ability truly optimized for enemy annihilation. There’s no way a mere country like Korea could capture someone of that level…”

“Colonel!!”

The door burst open roughly as Alexei, who had been commanding the control room, entered.

Vasilyov and Client turned around almost simultaneously.

They didn’t scold him for entering without knocking.

Because it was the first time.

The first time the always calm Alexei had been this flustered.

“We just made contact with Wawel Castle.”

Alexei swallowed dryly and took a breath.

“Major Anastasia… is dead.”

Silence fell over the brigade commander’s office.

Client tilted his head as he set down his teacup.

“What did you say? Sergeant Alexei, are you sure you investigated properly? You said the situation was unclear, but now suddenly she’s dead?”

“There was one severely decomposed corpse in the Wawel Castle corridor. It was so rotted that the form was unrecognizable, so we ran a DNA test… and it came back as Major Anastasia.”

“You bastard!!”

Vasilyov shot up and threw the cigar he was smoking.

“What kind of nonsense is that! How could Anastasia die!?”

Alexei bowed his head.

Even he, a military veteran, couldn’t answer that question.

Because he simply couldn’t fathom it.

How Anastasia the Flash could possibly die.

Client, barely managing to steady his breathing, spoke up.

“Are you certain? You compared it with DNA from her entire body, correct?”

“Yes. We cross-referenced hair, teeth, and skin tissue – everything.”

“Hah.”

A sigh escaped.

Until boarding the train, he had been monitoring the situation inside Wawel Castle through cameras.

The only ones who could be called enemies were Balikits Roche and Cheon Se-yeon.

Anastasia wasn’t someone those two could handle even if they attacked together.

Alexei, who was about to say something more, frowned.

A report from the control room came through his earpiece.

“Something’s flying toward us? Report properly.”

# It’s not a missile or artillery shell. The air defense system determined it’s an object that doesn’t need to be shot down. It’s about to fall this way, so we’ll confirm immediately…

Before the report could finish.

Flash!

Light erupted from outside the window.

In that instant, Alexei threw himself toward Client and the colonel.

Alexei deployed a shield using his class ability.

BOOOOOOOOM!!!

A massive impact struck them.

Tremendous explosive force that instantly blew away the building they were in.

The entire ground shook as an incredible roar assaulted their eardrums.

How much time had passed?

As the vibrations subsided, Alexei raised his head.

“…!”

His eyes widened at the devastating scene.

The impact point of the unidentified explosive was quite far from here.

Yet the aftershock alone had blown away all the headquarters buildings.

In his understanding, only ballistic missiles just below nuclear warhead level could cause such destruction.

He raised his hand to his earpiece.

“Control room, report. Control room!”

# Crackle… Th-this is the control room!

“What’s the damage assessment?”

# The, the entire hangar has been blown away! All defensive measures including the air defense system are down! Damage assessment impossible!

Colonel Vasilyov, grinding his teeth, snatched the earpiece.

“A missile falls and what was the air defense system doing?!”

While the colonel was shouting, Client, who had gotten up, frowned.

This was impossible.

This location had the highest level of security and hadn’t been exposed for over a decade.

Yet they’d been struck.

Anastasia’s death and the attack on Spetsotriad.

This was definitely not a coincidence.

…Thud thud thud… Thud thud thud.

“!?”

Without exception, they all raised their heads.

Then listened intently.

An unidentified sound growing closer and closer.

Alexei, who noticed first, rushed outside.

The sound of helicopter propellers.

Something was coming.

Above the Spetsotriad unit.

Since Black Wings’ rules prevented participation in attacks, I offered a greeting.

“Thank you! I’ve deposited payment for the bullets you saved us! See you again!”

After waving my hand, I jumped from the helicopter.

A powerful blizzard pushed against my descending body.

Without status ailment resistance, I would have frozen solid immediately.

‘Refreshing.’

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

The sharp yet cold air seeping through my nose.

Winter is definitely better than summer.

“Captain! Are you sleeping?!”

I opened my eyes to Kancheo manifesting in my arms.

“Hey! Sleeping during a mission!”

I secured the heavy machine gun I pulled from inventory downward.

Kancheo placed his finger on the heavy machine gun’s trigger as if he’d been waiting.

“Yodel Ranger Vice-Captain Kancheo! Bombing preparations complete!”

“Good, good.”

I smiled as I surveyed Russia’s special brigade, Spetsotriad, spread out below.

Kancheo had diligently carried out the first strike from the hill and returned.

Thanks to that, bright red flames and smoke were rising from various parts of the unit.

But this wasn’t enough.

This was the place I was certain Crown Jackpot’s Client was located.

Not only did that bastard fire missiles at my house, but he also tried to kill Cheon Se-yeon at Wawel Castle.

I couldn’t bear it without unleashing everything.

“Kancheo.”

“Yodel Ranger Vice-Captain Kancheo!”

“Sweep them away.”

“Roger!”

Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!!!

A rain of bullets began pouring from high above.

BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!!!

Explosions erupted everywhere, brightly illuminating the dark sky.

“Puhehehehehehe!!!”

Kancheo’s characteristic maniacal laughter burst out.

I wondered what was so fun that he always laughed, but seeing from Kancheo’s perspective from above, I easily understood.

The recoil transmitted through the body with each shot and the countless explosive flowers spreading below.

Those getting hit would curse us as psychos, but it was undeniably beautiful.

Click-click! Rattle!

The airborne training wasn’t an exaggeration.

Though I was holding on, this was high above in a raging blizzard.

Even so, Kancheo didn’t care and skillfully replaced the ammunition belt.

Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat!!

The bullet barrage began pouring again.

I found myself shaking my head unconsciously.

How should I put it – from the perspective of those getting pounded, this was truly hopeless firepower.

Kancheo, who had been firing for a while, raised his head.

“Captain! Almost at the ground!”

“Okay.”

I put away the heavy machine gun and drew Ganjangmakya.

Then I released aura downward with perfect timing.

Dark blue aura instantly shattered the ground, creating recoil.

When the recoil reached me, I reduced my weight with Hermes’ Shoes and landed very gently on the snow like a feather.

Clap clap clap clap clap.

Kancheo applauded like he’d been waiting.

“Perfect! A hundred billion point landing!”

Not even a hundred-point maximum, but a hundred billion points – how generous.

Probably the largest number Kancheo knew.

I gave him a thumbs up and patted Kancheo’s pointed ears.

“Haah.”

My exhaled breath scattered finely as it met the snow.

Truly perfect weather for erasing something.

I slowly looked around.

Despite the heavy snowfall, the flames rising everywhere showed no signs of dying out.

And under the illumination of those flames.

My friends began manifesting there.

“Perfect.”

Dark raised the corners of his mouth.

The battlefield resembled Frostheim, which seemed to please him.

“Hm!?”

I quickly scanned the surroundings.

Sleepyhead Nia was nowhere to be seen.

She definitely manifested though?!

Then a very small snow pile entered my vision.

Niaaaa!

I quickly ran over, cleared away the accumulated snow, and pulled Nia out.

She seemed to have fallen asleep immediately after manifesting.

“That sleepyhead is no good. Eat and sleep, eat and sleep, sometimes poop and sleep again. Almost like Momotari.”

Kancheo clicked his tongue and shook his head.

Good thing Momo was busy making a campfire.

“Camilla.”

Camilla exhaled smoke and reached her hand toward the sky.

A translucent barrier spread from her fingertips.

From now on, all entry and exit from this place would be reported to Camilla.

“Momo will roast sweet potatoes!”

“Ooooh…!”

Nia woke up late and joined in with street vendor Momo.

Roasted sweet potatoes in this blizzard – absolutely wonderful.

After giving them both thumbs up, I looked at Kancheo.

“Blow away anything that approaches.”

“Roger!”

“Seira takes north, Dark takes east, Renia takes south, I’ll take west.”

Since the unit was large, I assigned regions to each and stepped forward.

“Let’s go.”

Without anyone taking the lead, my friends kicked off the snow and advanced.

I drew swords with both hands and gradually increased my speed.

The time to finally pay them back had come.

The price for recklessly firing missiles at our house.
