My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 123
#123
Clan Eupersch (2)
Bisk Jupersch returned to his original form with his men on a hill overlooking the capital..
He stared at the city with a distorted expression..
“under-! Was it because of this??”
The unpleasant feeling didn't go away the entire time I came here, so I was in an uneasy state, but when I arrived, I was finally able to figure out the reason..
“Brokoslag... That ghost is still alive and well. That's why I'm here right now?”
Confronted with an unexpected situation, he concluded that this was the cause of the discomfort he had been feeling..
It was much more persuasive to think that way than to suffer because the cause was unknown..
‘Yes, that might be possible if the other person was of the same blood. It was so unpleasant because I instinctively felt that my enemy was at close range..’
He forced himself to understand and smiled coldly..
I still felt uncomfortable, but that could be resolved once I got rid of Brokoslag..
“···Bisque? Are you really saying that the ‘Holy Blood Brokoslag’ is there??”
At that time, Theodor Jupersch, who was quietly standing next to him, frowned and cautiously asked him a question..
When making the plan, it was not assumed that there would be blood on the other side, so this would inevitably cause significant disruption to the operation..
“Yes, there are remnants of the past there.···.”
Bisque, who answered as if it was no big deal, glanced to the side..
One of his eyebrows was slightly raised, as if showing his discomfort..
“So, what's the problem? I am here, but what difference do you think it will make if one more ghost is added? It's not like the elites of Eupersch are scared.?”
In response to his seemingly nervous reaction, Theodore quickly lowered his head, breaking into a cold sweat..
“Oh, no. I am just saying this because I am concerned that unnecessary damage may increase. According to the original plan, the situation should have ended without any damage, and then the work of resolving the Kingdom of Thalia should have continued..”
At his desperate excuse, Bisque stared at the back of his head, then turned his gaze back to the city and clicked his tongue..
I reacted sharply without realizing it because of the discomfort I felt the entire way, but I had no choice but to take some damage if this happened..
Even though the two Jinhyeol were missing, there was no way to know what kind of defenses would be in place over there, the enemy's stronghold..
Moreover, isn't the former Lord, Mulo Brokoslag, a wizard type who specializes in blood magic?.
There is no other being more difficult than a wizard who confines himself to his own territory and prepares thoroughly..
“Anyway, it looks like they've noticed us over there, so let's go in right away. We can't give them any more time to prepare here..”
“yes!”
For a vampire who was born in the dark, infiltrating the city at night is as easy as breathing..
Nearly fifty shadows moved quickly and stealthily across the castle wall..

“Mulo? How are you prepared??”
Bricky, who was sipping black tea while relaxing on the sofa in Mulo Brokoslag's office, opened his mouth in a carefree tone..
Unlike before, when he was extremely sensitive, his appearance, like a withered vegetable, made me doubt whether he was really the person who had come to warn me of a crisis..
Naturally the wise Mulo didn't point that out..
“First of all, I ordered to summon as many external personnel as possible and strengthen security. However, it is difficult to respond without knowing exactly what is going on, so···.”
“Eupersch has invaded..”
“···yes? You mean Clan Eupersch? why suddenly···?”
“What would you do if you asked me who just woke up? you should know.”
“That's true, but... This is something that really had no foreshadowing..”
He continued to reply with a puzzled expression and immediately spread the situation to all clan members in the mansion..
If it was an all-out war, they would have to come together and respond in order to avoid individual destruction, so it was necessary to gather all of the troops under his command in one place..
Then, Mulo stood up and hurried out of the office, massaging his eyes as he walked..
Bricky was still following behind him, yawning lazily, but he no longer had time to pay attention to her attitude..
‘The humans residing in the mansion were ordered not to come outside until further notice, and a barrier has been set up for them, so it won't be a big problem.···.’
Rather, the problem now was the fact that Eupersch, the leader of the top three vampire clans and the strongest fighting force, had invaded..
Compared to those who came prepared properly, our preparations were very inadequate..
“So, do you know where they are now??”
Mulo opened the door to the large banquet hall where his subordinates were gathered, entered, and asked Bricky a question..
Bisque, the Holy Blood over there, must have done something, but my Jinhyeol's senses couldn't detect anything..
To begin with, he was a magician and his perception skills were somewhat poor compared to his other abilities..
“Ugh, oh, that?”
Bricky, who was stretching out in the back, calmly answered his question..
But the voice was much more lively, as if its previous appearance had been a lie..
“Just—.”
As if preparing for something, drawing out stored energy and preheating it..
“yes?”
“—You came in..”
Grinding—!
As soon as she finished speaking.
I felt a hole in the barrier surrounding the mansion, and dozens of vampires breaking in..
With a murderous and hostile presence,.

“This is so... It's tough and alive, Brokoslag. I thought it was time to die.”
“How can you be so consistently rude now and then? The Sentai guy is like that too, is that a tradition of Eupersch??”
“It seems like you have a lot of regrets in life, so let me take this opportunity to help you close your eyes comfortably. That proud clan will also fall together, so you won't be lonely..”
“Not listening to others is also very similar. How can I be so unlucky?.”
Two holy bloods facing each other and saying only what they want to say.
It didn't take long for those waiting in the large banquet hall and those who broke into the mansion to meet each other..
From the beginning, Eupersch's purpose was to wipe out Brokoslak and take his place..
‘This isn't very good..’
While the Holy Bloods were arguing, Mulo quietly gritted his teeth after comparing the two opposing groups..
The number itself was slightly higher this way..
No matter how quickly people from nearby were called in, it was not difficult to mobilize this much as this was the headquarters..
But the problem is quality.
‘Purebloods only have a little more than a fever, and the rest are all residual blood. Of course it's better than nothing···.’
For reference, no servants or slaves were placed here at all..
Isn't it possible to manage those half-baked idiots who can't even properly hide their energy in Talaria, the capital city that even has a temple?.
‘Even if Briki is dealing with Bisque Eupersch, there are only four Jinhyeols... It's dark..’
Mulo sighed inwardly but quietly cheered up..
Actually, there was a part of me that believed in it..
As he came under Heinz's command, he was able to benefit from the "refining blood tablets", and as a result, he achieved greater development than before..
As his heart beat, the sticky blood magic emitted from the evolved vampire factor circulated through his blood vessels and throughout his body..
“So, who is the current lord over there? I want to see how the clan was able to get over it... hmm?”
Bisque, who was continuing to fight with Bricky with invisible energy while arguing, noticed something..
It's already too late.
Wow!—
The blood pattern hidden in the mansion glowed red and distorted the space..
The banquet hall, which was already large, was expanded and became a great battlefield..
In addition, the barrier added strength to the allies inside and gave a debuff to those who were hostile to him, reducing the power gap..
‘It's nice to be able to expand abilities that were limited to the office to the entire mansion... but it's not enough to do this..’
Thanks to the barrier, the lower-level vampires were able to buy some time, but it was still not enough to deal with the Jinhyeol on the other side..
Additional reinforcements were also needed here..
And he had one method he could use to receive support from the barrier..
“come to me freesia—!”
When Mulo's spell ends, a puddle of blood is created right in front of you..
There, Phrygia appeared, fully prepared for battle..
“Ugh, I didn't know we'd be fighting them so soon..”
As soon as she was summoned, she sighed and immediately prepared for battle..
Because the distance from the forest of monsters was too far, both Jinhyeol could not be summoned, but this should have balanced things out a bit..
‘All that's left is to hold out as defensively as possible until Bricky kills Bisque?.’
Of course, the fact that this is still far from enough to defeat the opponent does not change..
Still, this barrier won't be easy to break even from the inside, so it may be able to endure to some extent.···.
“Ha, yes. I took it into consideration to some extent, but this is a bit annoying..”
A voice heard from a short distance away.
Mulo, who was continuing his thoughts, was suddenly met by a pair of pure white eyes..
“If I get rid of you, this barrier will also disappear..”
While Mulo could not react, Bisque moved in front of him in an instant and stretched out his hand to pierce his heart.—.
“Aren't you ignoring me too much??”
Kwaang—!
He and Bricky collided head-on with a large shock wave..
Mulo, who was able to escape the crisis thanks to her, closed the space and took refuge, quietly wiping away cold sweat..
“···Okay, I need to get rid of this specter first..”
“Ugh, you should get hit too..”
Bisque, who was unable to do anything even when the barrier was activated due to Bricky's check, gritted her teeth in frustration at the repeated interruption, and she also increased her momentum, not to be outdone..
The moment when the tension between both sides was rising again..
Kwadduk — Kwazidik!
Suddenly, a crack appeared on one side of Mulo's barrier..
“No, what is this?!”
Mulo, embarrassed again, hurriedly adjusted the space and twitched the corners of his eyes..
A hole was being created in the barrier due to an unidentified external force applied from outside..
Even though this space is weaker to shocks from the outside than from the inside, it was a barrier that he put a lot of effort into installing and became much stronger than before..
Even if Jinhyeol attacks from the outside, it is not something that can be easily destroyed..
When the surrounding attention was briefly focused on the unexpected situation, a pair of scaly hands with sharp nails slithered in through the crack..
Then, as if opening a sliding door, he began to carefully open it to both sides..
Grinding—
The crack in the barrier is slowly widening, and people are coming through it.···.
hairy animal head.
“Wow, I didn't think of this barrier. The timing was a bit late to come in as gently as possible..”
The head of a beast... no, the person wearing the head of a beast in the shape of a beast grumbled softly and pulled his body out of the crack..
As soon as his large, muscular body entered, the barrier was instantly restored as if something had gone wrong..
It was a clean intrusion that did not require too much use of the technique, to the point that even Mulo, who activated it, was taken aback..
“what? That guy?”
“···savage? No, that arm···?”
From the naked upper body to the writhing muscles and wild tattoos, to the dark red scales and sharp nails covering both arms..
An intruder with a unique appearance looked in all directions with a pair of eyes shining in different colors under his covered demonic head..
He confirmed that the attention of those around him was also focused on him..
“Who are these big-time bastards who dared to touch our Hubert?!”
Harley, a barbarian warrior who came to avenge his friend, shouted majestically on the spot..
Putter! Tduduk—!
At the same time, a bloody sound began to leak out from the imposing body that had exerted all its strength..
As if foreshadowing future violence.
“Hubert?”
“No, what are you talking about when you suddenly come here?···.”
Those who had not yet grasped the situation looked at each other and frowned..
From the intrusion of an unknown person to the words he said, there are only a handful of people here who can understand it..
However, Harley's gaze was unaffected by such reactions..
He was already just staring in the direction of the Eupersch Clan..
“found—.”
When he finds his target, his fiercely raised mouth reveals beast-like teeth..
“Is it you? The guy who stirred that weak kid’s stomach like meat soup.?”
Vertically split, ugly pupils.
A vampire with red hair and red eyes flew straight at Klein and stuck in his head..
