Only I Have Two Towers Episode 060
Tactical Nuke
Our adorable Yodel Kancheo.
With his fluffy appearance and way of speaking, we often forget.
That he’s someone who loves explosions more than anyone else in the world.
“Puhehehehehehe!!!”
Kancheo pulled the minigun’s trigger with a rough laugh.
Hundreds of explosive clay bullets scattered from the muzzle toward the sea.
The clay pellets flew quite far thanks to the increased gas pressure.
Kwagagagagagagak!!!
Hundreds of explosions bloomed red flowers across the dark night sea.
Not a single clay bullet was lost by falling into the water.
Thanks to Kancheo’s remote control skill, one of his abilities, the explosions triggered before hitting the sea.
“They’re coming.”
Seira moved to the bow and placed her hand on her sword hilt.
Shortly after.
Swaaaaaaack!
A massive harpoon flew through the explosions.
Seira swung her sword and sliced the harpoon clean through.
From other directions, circular shells and ability-enhanced arrows were fired.
‘So Oh Min-su wasn’t waiting for nothing.’
Vesta’s ships, spread wide to avoid the explosions, were defending their fronts with thick steel plates.
Unlike the security forces who were helplessly overwhelmed, the naval forces seemed properly armed.
“I’ll handle this side.”
Dark, whose complexion was poor from seasickness, also got up.
After stretching with crackling sounds, Dark deflected incoming shells and various attacks with his chains.
‘They’re attacking right off the bat.’
At first, I thought their goal was ransom for the people on the ship.
But seeing their current actions, it didn’t look like they intended to let the Newcalliope go safely.
Kuwoong!!
The Newcalliope shook violently after being hit by a harpoon.
Though Seira and Dark were defending, it was impossible to perfectly protect the entire area of this massive cruise ship.
We had to accept that damage would continue to accumulate to some extent.
“Hmm.”
Several ships had sunk from Kancheo’s bombardment.
But the rest were defending quite well.
‘If even one of the three could be dropped over there, we could finish them off in an instant.’
With nowhere to step, we couldn’t advance.
We could wait for the patrol boats approaching from behind and leave the defense to them, but that would mean too many watching eyes.
Right now we could act freely since people inside the ship couldn’t see the bow or top.
While looking around.
A row of jet skis parked to one side caught my eye.
As expected of a luxury cruise ship, they seemed to be brought for entertainment content during sea anchoring.
Gulp.
Jinhyeok swallowed dry saliva and asked himself.
Would this be okay?
‘Shouldn’t it be fine?’
Jinhyeok answered ambiguously and opened his mouth.
“Kancheo, do you have enough clay? Enough to blow all those guys away?”
“Plenty! Still have tons left!”
“Okay.”
Even without Seira and Dark, we had one more tactical nuke-level force on our side.
Kancheo had already dismantled bombs and gathered plenty of clay.
If we could just get Kancheo to their center, turning it into scorched earth would be instantaneous.
Having decided it was possible, Jinhyeok threw himself down from the top.
It would take forever for Kancheo with his short legs and arms to swim there.
Besides this method, there was one more way to drop Kancheo over there.
*
[Manifestation]
# Heroes from owned cards can move to their owner’s location at any time, unless they’ve been reverse-manifested due to death.
*
The human portal named ‘owner’ would go near that area.
That way, Kancheo could be dropped without anyone knowing.
Jinhyeok untied the chain binding the jet ski.
Then he lifted it like doing a squat and threw it into the sea.
‘It’s incredibly heavy.’
After wiping sweat from his forehead, he properly put on a life jacket placed nearby.
If things got really dangerous, he’d have to call Dark or Seira, but that would turn the Newcalliope into a battlefield, so he planned to go as carefully as possible.
Jinhyeok climbed onto the jet ski and turned the inserted key.
‘Do I pull this to go?’
Similar setup to a motorcycle.
Jinhyeok gripped the handlebars firmly and pulled the throttle.
Woooooong!!
‘Oh shit.’
He seemed to have pulled too hard.
The jet ski shot forward convulsively, cutting through the water.
After roughly adapting, he set his direction and increased speed.
The goal was to circle around and catch Vesta from behind.
Wind proportional to his speed blew and disheveled his hair.
‘Why is this fun?’
He decided to admit it.
That he had somewhat lost his sense of fear.
‘I have Quick Shield too.’
In the worst case, Quick Shield would activate.
Having something to rely on, he increased speed even more.
The backdoor operation begins.
‘What’s with those explosions?’
Cheon Se-yeon on the patrol boat frowned.
Carpet bombing at an abnormal level that illuminated a wide area.
No matter how she looked, she couldn’t see any fleet capable of such firepower.
It was also hard to believe that the luxury cruise ship Newcalliope had such weaponry installed.
“What a sight to see. Senior Se-yeon volunteering for an operation like this.”
Eun Gang-seok, who was also attempting the same 80th floor section, approached.
He was also a freelancer ranker affiliated with the Hunter Bureau.
“Long time no see, Gang-seok. I told you that eyepatch doesn’t suit you, so change it.”
“I like it though. But do you know someone on that ship? It’s unusual for you to not just crush everything when you find it bothersome. A boyfriend perhaps?”
“Are you going to talk nonsense even during an operation?”
Se-yeon clicked her tongue and turned her gaze to the Newcalliope.
‘Is this person okay?’
Honorable Stair Climber Yoo Jin-hyeok.
Nothing should go wrong under normal circumstances.
Since she possesses combat power that doesn’t match her floor level.
However, if the opponent is a terrorist group like that, it’s a different story.
Because she could be swallowed by firepower before she even has a chance to swing her chains.
‘By the way.’
Kwaaaaang!!
Another explosion occurred above the Newcalliope.
A shell that had flown in exploded in mid-air.
‘Who the hell is on board?’
Though still quite a distance away, even an idiot could tell.
Someone was defending the Newcalliope from the top and bow.
If that weren’t the case, the Newcalliope would have sunk from the start.
“We’ll approach from the ship’s stern!”
“Yes. Can you increase the speed a bit? I’ll block the incoming attacks.”
“Understood!”
The person in charge of driving nodded.
From a civilian’s perspective, it was a bone-chilling firefight, but they didn’t harbor any doubts.
What they just heard was from Cheon Se-yeon, one of the rankers.
“Eun Gang-seok. You can handle those terrorist bastards on your own, right?”
Eun Gang-seok smiled and pointed his finger at the eye covered by his eyepatch.
“As long as they come into my sight. But you haven’t forgotten, have you? Our mission is rescue. Not enemy annihilation.”
“Of course. I know that. Anyway.”
Se-yeon lifted her shield and sword, equipment meant for outdoor use.
“Let’s go.”
Those terrorist bastards who committed terrorism without fear.
She intended to make them pay dearly for it.
So they wouldn’t even dare come near Korea after today.
Vesta’s captain’s quarters.
Ban Ho-yeon, who was commanding the fleet, gritted his teeth.
He had planned to start by landing a hit on the Newcalliope, but there was no sign of breaking through.
‘What the hell is on there?’
This relentless carpet bombing was also a problem.
They should have reached the Newcalliope long ago.
But avoiding the bombardment, deploying formations, and slowing down had caused indefinite delays.
# Captain! This is Ship 7! Do we continue like this?!
# Ship 19 here! Our shield is damaged, so we’re falling back to the rear!
# Ship 23 is the same. We’ll follow from behind!
Ban Ho-yeon’s wrinkles deepened.
That damn bombardment.
They had erected an impenetrable iron gate and covered it with abilities from players specialized in defense.
This was the best response they could manage.
In fact, they had been able to advance without taking major damage until now, but the problem was that their resources were decreasing in real-time while that bombardment seemed endless.
# A patrol boat has arrived at the Newcalliope’s stern! Rankers Cheon Se-yeon and Eun Gang-seok are reportedly on board!
“Damn it!”
Ban Ho-yeon slammed the control panel.
The Hunter Bureau was one thing, but facing those two as well was impossible.
They weren’t called rankers for nothing.
They would easily smash through their numerical advantage.
Realistically, retreating was the right choice, but it was questionable whether that would be acceptable.
‘Even if we retreat, death awaits us.’
The client had poured massive funds into this terrorist operation.
As such, this operation absolutely could not fail.
“Haaa.”
Ban Ho-yeon closed his eyes and ran his hand through his hair.
How had the situation turned out like this?
How exactly did they need to be interfered with for both Plan A and B to be crushed?
It was completely incomprehensible by common sense.
# Captain! The bombardment has stopped!
Ban Ho-yeon stared ahead and drew a bitter smile.
It seemed the other side had finally run out of ammunition.
“Listen up, everyone. From now on, stop defending and concentrate all available firepower on the Newcalliope.”
Even when retreating, they needed to at least sink the Newcalliope carrying Jin Seo-hee to have something to say for themselves.
“When I signal, fire all at once…?”
Smack!
Startled, Ban Ho-yeon stopped speaking.
Where had it come from?
A cute-looking raccoon that had fallen from the sky and stuck to the window.
The creature, which had been looking at Ban Ho-yeon with its hands clasped together, reached into its bag.
Ban Ho-yeon frowned at the massive object that emerged from there.
‘Clay…?’
The question mark lasted only briefly.
Ban Ho-yeon’s face began to turn deathly pale.
Because he remembered.
What the unidentified objects that had been raining down on the ships looked like.
“Puhehehehehe!!”
Kancheo laughed heartily and waved at Ban Ho-yeon, who met his eyes.
And not long after, Kancheo’s figure disappeared.
Leaving behind the clay he had taken from his bag.
“Son of a…”
He wasn’t given the luxury of completing the curse.
Light began seeping from the clay.
Peoooooooooong!!!
The light that burst forth instantly swallowed the entire fleet.
“Uwaaaaaaaa!!”
Jinhyeok pulled the jet ski’s throttle with all his might.
He glanced back slightly.
An explosion of dizzying power just from looking at it.
There was no need to mention how fierce the shockwave that would soon hit would be.
“Puhehehe! I’m back!”
He looked at Kancheo, who had materialized on his shoulder.
“Kancheooo! Why did you detonate it so quickly!”
“It was my first time detonating something that big, so I was excited! I couldn’t hold back!”
He swallowed dry saliva.
It didn’t seem like getting a little further away would help him avoid it.
“Daaaaark!”
Dark, who materialized in the back seat of the jet ski, covered his mouth.
“Ugh!”
For someone who already suffered from severe seasickness, a jet ski was nothing short of torture.
Kwaaaaaaaaa…!!!
The shockwave began rushing from the explosion’s epicenter.
Before he could say anything, Dark dipped the Ten Thousand Year Cold Iron into the sea.
The Thousand-Year Glacier, formed from the depths and rising to quite a high position.
And not long after.
CRAAAAAACK!!!
The incoming shockwave struck the glacier.
