My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 105

mountain range escape (3)
Harley calmed down the force he had raised to save energy and quickly assessed the situation..
Its presence was so loud that it was detected by Harley, but there was still a lot of distance left, and its speed was not that fast..
‘At this rate, about 10 minutes from now? Compared to the power felt, it's average. Looks like he's a pretty big guy..’
Also, seeing that he was able to feel the presence of a battle from that distance through the obstruction of the magic tool, it was a guy whose sensing ability was better than I thought..
Harley turned her head and looked back at her companions who had not yet noticed the approaching crisis..
“Phew... Phew. No, Mr. Harley! What is it? I knew he was a strong person, but I didn't know he was this strong! And that flying ax too.!”
“After all, the notoriety... no, there is a reason for the fame. Now that I look at it, it seems like the rumors have been reduced..”
“···more than you think···.”
Those who hurriedly reorganize while exhausted and talk about easy-going public affairs..
“Hehehe, Bordeaux... I came all the way here and like this.···.”
“···I can't help it, Hans. First, let’s take care of the belongings first..”
“This friend... I said I'd feed him beer until his stomach explodes when I get back.···.”
Rangers and dwarves in grief over the body of their deceased comrade.
“Marcus, how much distance do we have left? Didn't you say there wasn't much left??”
“There were too many battles. Of course, there is bound to be a delay. Still, we should be able to get out of the mountain range within a day..”
Even those discussing the future.
As they had a lot of experience, even after the fight was over, they immediately did what they had to do and prepared to leave.···.
No matter how you look at it, the situation was not good to immediately engage in battle with a strong enemy..
They wouldn't know it if they were alone, but if they come across that guy now, they won't be able to last long and they'll die right away..
‘It can't be like this either. need more time.’
It was a hopeless story, but fortunately, there was someone in the group who could overcome this situation..
Harley clapped her hands to spread the word about the situation, drew their attention, and opened her mouth seriously..
“Hahaha—! friends? Unfortunately, things aren't going so well right now so I think we'll have to move a bit hastily.!”
···The aftermath of the madness still lingered, so I spoke more aggressively than usual, but that wasn't that important right now..
“Harley? What's happening again? no way···.”
As the situation was different, everyone in the group seemed to have the same thoughts, so everyone focused more on the content of his words rather than the tone of his words..
None of Harley's warnings so far have been wrong..
Their slightly relaxed atmosphere became tense and tension increased..
He was ready to move and briefly explained the situation to the group looking at him..
And there was someone who stepped forward immediately after hearing Harley's words.···.
“10minute? 5 minutes is enough!”
It was Zaonic, a dwarf who had already avoided a monster's attack once..
***
Azerion Empire located in the central part of the continent.
The city of Tovea, one of the imperial territories surrounding the capital Geron, was some distance away from the capital, but was enjoying prosperity as a transportation hub in its own way..
Knock knock knock—
A horse-drawn carriage crossed the rich side of the city and stopped in front of the main gate of a mansion..
A moment later, the carriage entered through the open door, skipped all subsequent security procedures, and quickly rushed inside..
Eventually, the door of the carriage that crossed the garden and stopped in front of the building opened.···.
Slurp—
Inside, a beautiful woman with long, shiny pink hair neatly arranged stepped down carefully..
With a soft smile on her face, she looked around with a bright face and entered the mansion with calm steps..
“Are you here, lady?.”
“It's been a while, Terry. Mr. Andrew, do you know what he is doing now??”
“You are in the playroom now. Shall I tell you?”
“Yes, could you please tell me that I will be waiting for you in the study on the second floor??”
“Yes, I understand.”
She naturally responded to the greetings of the residents walking around the mansion, then slowly went up to the second floor and walked down the hallway..
The moment you step into an area where no one except those authorized to enter can enter..
Wow—
The sound of a special barrier, along with a strange vibration sound, instantly passed through her body..
and.
As if changing a mask, the benevolent smile on her face instantly turned into a sticky, sly smile..
“Hmm~ Looks like Olivia is starting to move? This might be a bit cumbersome.”
She glanced out the window in the hallway and muttered softly..
I had expected this to happen since the undead began to stir up, but as it became reality, I couldn't help but feel secretly concerned..
Because he was once with her, he fully recognized her abilities..
Olivia, the Banshee Queen, was a very dependable person when she was a friend, but when she faced an enemy, she was even more reluctant..
Originally, the undead ghosts were a conglomeration of specific thoughts, and thanks to their inherent murderous intent, it was not that difficult for those who were strong above a certain level to detect them..
‘But the case is different for the ghosts under Olivia's command. She can temporarily remove thoughts except for the specific purpose of gathering information from them..’
It is difficult to detect a simple spirit body that has no unique desires or murderous intent..
Of course, if that happens, the individual's thinking and discrimination skills will decline, making it difficult to even extract useful information.···.
That was also one of Olivia's organs..
The pink-haired woman gathered her thoughts as she passed through the hallway..
It was easier for him to detect them due to his birth, but there wouldn't be many people who could easily detect it..
‘Well, it’s not like humans don’t have the ability to learn. I won't be able to perform as well as Sentai..’
If they pay special attention to the barrier, their intrusion could be prevented, so the high-ranking officials who already knew that the Immortal King was resurrected would have taken separate measures for each important facility..
It was the same for me right away..
Barriers installed throughout the mansion are basic, and in particular, isn't the area you just entered equipped with crime prevention equipment using all possible methods?.
Suddenly—
She opened the door on one side of the hallway and entered the study..
‘Since the current Immortal King's purpose is the same as before, it can be seen that Olivia is also moving in line with that..’
Wanting to turn the continent into a land of death was like an instinct that naturally followed after becoming an immortal king..
Although he gained enormous power by accepting the heart of the Immortal King, he became absorbed in it and began to pursue greater power even more blindly..
‘But the situation now is different from before. Because not only the forces established in each region, but also the influence of the religious denomination has become much greater. This time, it will probably end with great damage, just like before..’
And that is exactly what their 'Oath of Reverse Heaven' wanted..
This was also the reason why she ignored the Immortal King's signal and hid deeper..
‘I don't want to join that immortal army again. Dirty, smelly, nothing tasty.’
Previously, I had been summoned to the earth, but somehow I ended up being subordinate to the Immortal King and following him, but I didn't want to do that again after three hundred years had passed..
Isn’t his position different from that of the other undead under his command??
“Well, you just have to live with it in moderation for the time being. The Immortal King must be busy planning to conquer the world~? Who cares about the parasites of society like ours?”
At that time, she was chuckling and laughing to herself, not knowing the true purpose of the ghosts spreading around the world..
smart—
“Siana, I'm here!”
“Come on in.”
A sly man with dull blonde hair and green eyes opened the door to the study and entered..
“Hey—you look beautiful today as expected, sister! But what brought you here so suddenly??”
As he approached with a mischievous smile, the smell of alcohol and perfume was wafting from his body, as if he had been having a good time in broad daylight, but Sianna did not distort her expression at all and instead smiled brightly..
“Mr. Andrew~? You've finished all your work and are just having fun.?”
“Ah... that's it?”
Andrew Weaver, a blond young man with cool purple eyes despite his soft voice, smiled awkwardly and scratched his head..
“First of all, it seems certain that the leader of the Brokoslak Clan has changed, but it is not easy to find out about him..”
“Let's just listen to what we found out..”
“Yes... first of all, the name is Heinz. His strength is such that he can subdue one Jinhyeol alone without much damage, and although he surpasses ordinary Jinhyeol, he doesn't seem to have reached the level of Seonghyeol. It suddenly appeared in Talaria a little over a month ago and quickly swallowed up the clan... His previous whereabouts are unknown..”
Considering that the Brokoslak Clan was completely controlled by the “Refined Blood Seal” and that Heinz had been on the loose ever since, just finding out the extent of it was quite a feat.···.
“Aren't you too relaxed? I think I gave myself enough time..”
To Siana, who didn't know the details, it just seemed like a pointless murder..
“Ah—please take a look, sister! I'm not that comfortable with my abilities, right? Fortunately, as my ability has gotten stronger this time, I have been able to observe it indirectly, but it is not yet at a level where I can track Jinhyeol directly.!”
By contributing to the opening of the abyss and receiving karma, he was able to complete the fourth enhancement of “Trajectory Observation”..
‘Perhaps because I didn't move it myself, there was less karma than I expected..’
Still, combined with what I had collected before, it was enough to strengthen my unique skills to the next level..
Thanks to this, it became possible to indirectly 'see' even powerful people of Jinhyeol level by specifying the time and place, or people around them..
‘No, it's not like a Jinhyeol-level vampire walking around carefree. It disappears suddenly and appears somewhere else in the blink of an eye. How do you keep track of it all?!’
It was through sheer luck that he caught the moment Heinz entered Talaria..
In other words, his abilities were closer to a kind of CCTV inspection..
Even now, there are dozens of his eyes scattered across the continent, and if the conditions are right, they can change their positions at any time and read the past.···.
‘I'm the only one who has to look at it all. No matter how much my mental strength has been strengthened, I am analyzing it all over the years.?’
But I couldn't just sit still while my superiors said something..
“Well, I'm not sure... When I looked at the direction I arrived at the capital city of Talaria, I thought I might have started from the nearby city of La Perla.···.”
“Don't say anything you're not sure about. Because it's getting complicated for no reason.”
When Andrew got scolded for saying another word and became sullen, Sianna frowned and became worried..
Those who had previously been planted in the Kingdom of Thalia due to a conflict with the church had suddenly fallen away..
In addition, as the Brokoslak Clan began to become more powerful under the new system, it became more difficult to manipulate than before..
It is natural that the plan we had prepared so far was distorted in many ways..
It was a situation that required special measures..
“I can't help it. The risk is too great to contact them again now, so I have no choice but to exclude them..”
“huh? Is that okay, sister? Wasn't there an alliance with vampires??”
“Our alliance is with the Eupersch Clan. Since their political position was not that good compared to their military power, it would not be a bad idea to push out Brokoslak and leave the kingdom of Thalia to them..”
They were a clan based in the Empire and active across the continent, and were typical vampires who lived hidden in the darkness of the city..
“Hmm... I think they said there was Precious Blood over there too. Won't the damage increase for no reason??”
“Even so, they are just ghosts of the past in hibernation, waiting for the day to die. In addition, the Eupersch Clan has four more Jinhyeols besides Bisque Eupersch, who have properly inherited the Holy Blood, so they will be able to finish the job even before Brokoslak's Holy Blood awakens..”
After speaking like that, Siana smiled slightly with her purple eyes shining beautifully..
“Anyway, it's okay for us to get a little help..”
“Well, let Siana take care of that. Then, can I go back to doing what I did before and look at the movements of high-ranking officials periodically??”
“Hehehe, make it happen..”
While she was smiling sinisterly like a scheming schemer, Andrew, who had been observing her for a moment, cautiously opened his mouth..
“By the way, sister? The horn came out···.”
“···ah? Oh my, I feel so relieved. Since I'm always nervous outside, this is what happens when I come here..”
“Ahaha—yes, that’s right. It's also important to relax. I said something pointless..”
“no. You never know what might happen, so it's always better to be careful..”
The pair of sharp horns that had sprouted from Siana's head slowly shrunk and disappeared again..
“Well then, I'll just leave.?”
“Just make sure you play in moderation, Andrew. Or would you like me to play with you??”
“Ah... I decline that, sister. Because I don’t want to die yet.”
After saying that, Andrew Weaver quietly backed away, then quickly opened the door and disappeared outside..
It seemed like everyone was scared of her, but she didn't really care because it happened all the time..
And she, left alone in the study, is Sianna, a demonic succubus who was summoned to the continent more than three hundred years ago.—.
I took out a communication magic tool to contact the Eupersch Clan..
