Only I Have Two Towers Episode 290

Annihilation

Underground bunker in the depths of the snowy field.

From there came the sound of violent rupturing.

‘…!’

Client’s pupils dilated.

There was no need to wonder where that rupturing sound had come from.

Because it had disappeared quite cleanly from his sight.

Colonel Vasilyov, who had been perfectly fine just moments ago.

Cold sweat ran down Client’s back.

Colonel Vasilyov is a coward with severe mood swings.

But he’s not weak.

He is strong.

Russia doesn’t give stars to just anyone, so they didn’t give him the colonel position for nothing.

Yet he couldn’t land a single hit among all those attacks.

Meanwhile, Runner’s attack struck without missing even once, shattering Vasilyov’s face to pieces.

“Hah… huh…. hah….”

Thud.

His irregular breathing stopped, and the head of Colonel Vasilyov, who had led Spetsotriad for so long, dropped.

Swoosh!

Meanwhile, Alexei, who had regained his senses, kicked off the ground.

Though he had stepped back to become the colonel’s direct aide, he was once a veteran who swept through battlefields.

Alexei’s kukri cut through the wind as it advanced.

Knife fighting utilizing awakening abilities specialized in defense.

Within Spetsotriad, Alexei’s knife fighting was evaluated like this.

A technique that had reached such a level that opponents couldn’t help but feel it was unfair.

True to that reputation, Alexei’s knife thrust out at tremendous speed without rest.

An attack that made one’s breath catch just watching it.

But why was it?

Runner, who was actually receiving those attacks, was infinitely relaxed.

‘Why can’t you hit him.’

Client bit his lips and glared at Alexei.

Alexei’s kukri seemed like it would reach but missed by the slightest margin.

It seemed like he could hit if he just paid a little more attention, but it was frustrating why he was acting like that.

And at that moment, Alexei’s body wielding the kukri was completely soaked in cold sweat.

Someone watching the current fight might say.

You’re pressing the enemy so hard they can’t even breathe, so why are you sweating?

I guarantee that’s something only a clueless rookie could say.

Runner deflected all attacks with truly minimal movements.

Because he was facing him, he could tell.

That his eyes were tracking every single one of his attacks from start to finish without missing any.

‘How is he reacting?’

He swung the kukri from a blind spot avoiding the field of vision, but this time too it was futile.

He dodged as if he had eyes at every 360-degree angle.

“Huff. Huff….”

Alexei’s breathing gradually became irregular.

It wasn’t because his stamina was lacking.

He had consistently maintained his body and trained even after leaving the field.

The problem was his mind.

The things that had supported Alexei began to shake, and simultaneously his mind began to crumble.

Runner hadn’t attacked even once so far.

Because there was no opportunity? No.

He just wasn’t doing it.

He was acting leisurely as if he would watch his little performance, as if telling him to go ahead and try his best.

Grrrrrr!!!

“Uaaaaaahhh!!”

He let out a scream trying to protect his crumbling mind.

Crack!

At the same time, his knife was caught.

It wouldn’t budge.

“I guess this is as far as it goes.”

Jinhyeok smiled.

Russian military knife fighting that he was seeing for the first time in his life.

It was quite fast and had an irregular tempo, so he watched to store it in his memory.

-I hope you don’t think I’m overworking my master too much. Experience accumulates. Accumulated experience shines in life-or-death crises. That’s why I make my master fight whenever there’s an opportunity.

I hadn’t said anything, let alone complained.

Perhaps feeling bothered by quietly watching every time I fought, Seira had spoken first.

Anyway, I had accumulated enough following my master’s advice, so let’s send him off now.

“Well then.”

Clang!!

A translucent shield deployed as soon as he threw a punch.

He quietly looked down at his fist blocked by the shield.

It hurts.

The tingling sensation transmitted from his fist rang through his brain, showing how thick it was.

I guess I’ve been too rough with it lately, thinking I’d gotten tougher.

He withdrew his precious fist and instead drew Yerga’s axe and swung it.

Crash! Crash!! Crash!!

It was fortunate no one was watching.

They would have said it was damn brutish.

Crack!

Before long, the axe broke through the shield and reached Alexei.

Just then, the probability-based unique skill Ice Wave triggered, and Alexei was swallowed by a pile of ice.

He roughly wiped off the blood and turned around to finish up.

At that moment, an unidentified energy covered his body.

Ding!

[Unique trait ‘All Status Abnormality Resistance SSS+’ activates! You are immune to status abnormality ‘Suggestion’!]

Look at this sneaky little rat bastard.

I left him alive to slowly and carefully beat him up, but he couldn’t wait and was sneakily preparing this kind of thing.

Just as Jinhyeok was about to say something.

“Ha!!”

Client burst into laughter.

Activating suggestion requires considerable preparation time.

He had been anxious that Alexei might fall too quickly, but fortunately it wasn’t too late.

“Immediately take your life with that axe!”

Normally, he would have tried to continue the suggestion somehow to obtain the powerful weapon called Runner.

But right now he didn’t have that luxury.

Since he didn’t know how many times he could use it, he had to eliminate him first.

“Arrogant bastard.”

He raised the corner of his mouth at Runner slowly lifting the axe.

Client, who hadn’t allowed even the slightest physical contact with Runner, let alone being attacked by him.

Thanks to that, he could have escaped to the Tower of Despair if he wanted to, but he didn’t.

Just because of something like that, for the great Client to run away? His pride wouldn’t allow it.

And this judgment was correct.

No matter how good a Runner might be, in the end… Crack!!

The swung axe handle struck the Client’s cheek.

The Client flew and crashed into the wall.

“Kuheooo!!!”

Shattered teeth and blood poured from his mouth.

The cheek that got hit had completely lost all sensation.

‘Ugh.’

Jinhyeok frowned at the half-crumpled face.

He had tried to control his strength, but it seemed a bit too strong.

Poke poke poke poke poke poke!!

Feeling something fluffy behind his knee, he turned his head.

Kancheo climbed up his leg to his shoulder in stealth mode in an instant.

“Yodel Ranger Deputy Commander Kancheo! Reporting reconnaissance! Drones, tanks, and helicopters are swarming from all directions!”

Well, Spetsotriad was said to be one of the most important units in Russia.

With such chaos happening in that unit, it was natural for them to come rushing.

He immediately dismissed his friends from manifestation.

He came to catch the Client, not to fight Russia.

‘There won’t be time to use Soul Veritas.’

Instead, he decided to use an old, crude but reliable negotiation technique.

He held the axe to the Client’s neck and asked.

“Where’s the gold?”

The Client’s face, already contorted with pain.

The wrinkles on that face deepened even more.

His expression said, ‘What kind of crazy talk is this now?’

“You must have made a lot of money running Crown Jackpot.”

Even in terrible pain, the Client’s eyes sparkled.

He could see a way to survive.

And Jinhyeok, not missing that sparkle, continued.

“Starting with what’s in this base. Think of it as a down payment. If you tell me obediently, I won’t beat you to death.”

He held out a memo pad.

“Write down the coordinates.”

The Client, having quickly calculated in his head, wrote down the coordinates.

Humans are inherently greedy beings.

The moment they taste sweetness, they can’t help but want more.

When he goes there, he’ll realize how valuable he is, so he won’t be able to kill him carelessly.

Then he can aim for another chance to turn things around.

“Mm! Good.”

He took the note and stood up.

He put away the axe.

Instead, he reached his hand backward.

“Ptui!”

Something viscous landed on it.

“I always keep promises I make.”

So he won’t beat him to death.

Instead, he gave the Client some freshly produced warm clay.

Judging by how his eyes were rolling around, reaching Crown Jackpot’s fortune would never be easy.

He decided to just take what was in the base.

“Well then, good luck.”

He didn’t wave goodbye in a friendly manner.

He gave him the middle finger and closed the thick bunker door.

Kwaaaaang!!!

A tremendous explosion sound came from inside.

He had erased his presence, but just in case.

Creak.

He opened the door, confirmed what used to be the Client was now in pieces, then closed the door again.

By the way, this bunker was built quite sturdily.

Dudududududu!

Kwarrrrrrrr.

It seemed Russian reinforcements were starting to enter the base.

The sound of helicopters and tanks from all directions.

Before getting tired, let’s quickly grab what needs grabbing and leave.

In the middle of the snowy field where Russia’s secret special forces Spetsotriad was stationed, or rather, had been stationed.

A man who got off a helicopter contorted his face.

“What the hell.”

Even seeing it directly, he couldn’t believe it.

The scene unfolding before his eyes was that unrealistic.

Did some ballistic missile fall here?

The base was literally torn to shreds.

He couldn’t understand it at all.

Spetsotriad wasn’t a platoon or company-sized unit.

It was a brigade-level unit built on vast snowy plains, with dispersed deployment so it wouldn’t be completely annihilated even if bombing fell.

It even had enough power to sweep away most small nations if confronted.

Such a unit had evaporated in the blink of an eye.

“Spread the search range as wide as possible. Spetsotriad units are all scattered.”

“Yes!”

“Uchinsky, Badrov. You two find the Client.”

“Understood!”

Colonel Vasilyov wasn’t important.

That kind of thing could just be replaced with another general.

But the Client was different.

A significant number of major projects running in Russia depended on his financial backing.

The moment something happened to him, those projects would come to a halt.

It was a terrible situation Russia didn’t even want to imagine.

# Crackle… This is Rachid search squad. We’ve arrived at the underground bunker. Confirmed deaths of Colonel Vasilyov and Sergeant Alexei. The bodies are a mess, as if a big explosion occurred. Recovery is impossible.

“What about the Client?”

# We don’t see him yet. We’ll collect the pieces and run DNA tests first.

He let out a sigh of relief.

He was the most important person, so they had put him in this place that boasted the highest security, but for something like this to happen.

He took a breath and organized his thoughts.

‘Was he kidnapped?’

It might be something done by another country that noticed his existence and coveted the Client.

Subsequently, reports came in from various places.

The 783rd, 171st, 999th units and others notorious even within the Russian military were all dead.

In other words, Spetsotriad was cleanly annihilated.

The man with gritted teeth picked up the radio.

“All units listen. Judging by the scale of the attack, the enemy is at least a company-level force of 200 or more. It’s impossible for that many people to cross the border unnoticed. They couldn’t have gone far yet, so find them. Form an airtight search net and catch those damn bastards! Got it!!!”

A resounding answer came from beyond the radio.

Those bastards who dared to pull this shit on Russia without any fear.

I’ll catch them no matter what.
