My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 159

#159

After the invasion of the capital (3)

Somewhere in the vast northern mountains teeming with monsters.

There was someone sitting on a bear-shaped monster the size of a house, stroking its fur and frowning..

“···What kind of situation is this??”

The leader and revolutionary of the Oath of Yeokcheon, who overthrew the Principality of Rohan and went into hiding, reflected on the information delivered to him with a serious expression..

‘A bet between a hero and an immortal king? 3 year grace period? This is nonsense..’

In the end, he could not trust the information given to him and went through the verification process again..

I think there is a problem with the information network due to people doing things and hiding away..

But no matter how many times I checked, the result was the same.···.

The Immortal King was not focused on covering the continent with death, but was just enjoying the game for fun..

And that couldn't have happened.

‘I was suspicious at first when he started acting strangely and not following expectations.···.’

His face frowned..

Until then, I thought they would do things in some other way, but looking at the way things are going now, it seems like the Immortal King has completely overcome the influence from the Abyss..

‘This is ridiculous. There is no one who can overcome the abyss.’

It was a coercive force that applied to all beings in this world, and as long as the person concerned was a 'human', it was no different from a law that would never change..

‘Could it be that the Immortal King was not human during his lifetime? no no. It's not that big of a problem. Even if they were of different races, there wouldn't be much of a difference..’

There was one question that all beings in this world did not question.

Of course, this was not to deny the existence of the main body or to belittle its authority..

Just a literal question.

Each race had its own religion.

The elves believed in the ‘World Tree’ that rose in the middle of the Enamel Continent, and the dwarves worshiped the ‘god of fire and metal’..

Although the beast people had their own indigenous religions that worshiped animal gods that symbolized each person, these were ultimately merely fragments of the ‘beast god’..

Of course, not only those tribes follow that religion..

Although it is a minority denomination right now, there are religions that have spread quite a bit among humans, such as the God of the Sea and the God of the Earth..

But in the end, their roots also came from their own tribal gods..

But why is there no such thing as a human being that can be called a race god??

It was definitely a questionable thing, but not many people questioned it..

‘It's just that it's been like that from the beginning... Everyone thinks so.’

The creator, the main god, was close to a gigantic concept or law that mortals could not judge..

This means that originally, there should have been no interference in the world like this and bestowing divine power and blessings according to beliefs..

What I'm doing now is just taking over what someone else was doing before to prevent errors from occurring in the world..

Yes, humans definitely had a god just for them..

Now, not only from history but also from cause and effect, the main lord has erased us, and not even a fragment of our existence remains..

He definitely existed in this world.

“I can't help it. I'm sorry Baltheon, but I'll have to take the madness with me. Now that death is beyond our fate, we can no longer just leave it to others..”

The revolutionary clicked his tongue, thinking of the large warrior who must be at work in the south right now..

In a way, he was the friend who did the best job at Yeokcheon's Vow, but now was not the time to look after other people's circumstances..

He got up from the top of the bear monster he was sitting on and slowly walked towards the abyss scar nearby..

Then, a blood-red glow ignited in the eyes of the monster, which had been quiet the whole time, and with a harsh roar, it ran somewhere in the forest and disappeared..

“For the God of Man.”

In-young pushes her body into scars, leaving only one soft word..

He was the only apostle of the now non-existent ‘God of Man’..

He was a revolutionary devoted to the restoration of the god who had been banished to the abyss, the trash can of the Outerica dimension..

***

The gist of what Patrick, the secretary general of the Mercenary Guild, said to Harley was simple:.

‘So what I'm saying is that he will take care of everything else, so I should only worry about my reputation. So much so that it spreads evenly across the entire continent..’

I talked to him about this and that, but in the end, in one word, it was like this..

Currently, Harley's name is not that well known compared to her skills, so she needs to increase her reputation..

Of course, during his time as a mercenary, he handled many missions that could be called special, and recently, he was making a name for himself by playing a big role in the monster madness incident.···.

It was a reputation limited to the western part of the continent, especially the northern part of the Tulk Kingdom..

‘Well, if you think about it, Harley’s mercenary career lasted less than a year..’

Time was also an important factor in the spread of fame..

Other mercenary king candidates who can be said to be his competitors are all those who have steadily built up their reputation over a long period of time and have reached their current positions..

Their military power was also enough for them to be called the idols of mercenaries, and they had reached a master level, so if you look at it objectively, the difference in experience was bound to be felt to be quite large..

‘I am confident that if I fight directly, I will destroy everything.!’

However, with such an ignorant method, the public sentiment that will be lost will be as much as the recognition that will be gained..

Although it is an organization that values ​​military power, a more sophisticated method was needed to become the head of the guild, which was not a small organization but a continental organization..

In fact, there is a long tradition of breaking seals, so it was true that I was attracted to that method.···.

Fortunately for them, Harley had a better alternative..

Kwaaang—!

A strong explosion of sound and a rising pillar of black fire..

“Wow!”

“Hey, these guys! How dare you tell me where this is?!”

The Count Beoin family of the Kingdom of Charlotte, a family of lords infamous for their bloodless and tearless cruelty and harsh exploitation, was engulfed in flames due to a sudden attack by an unknown group..

Thousands of undead troops were flooding in from all directions surrounding the castle..

“Hehehe! Everything is according to His will! I will purify this world through my death.!”

The dark magic that burned their own life force rose like wildfire from the bodies of those leading the attack..

As if they had no intention of living from the beginning, their malice without any thought for the future covered the territory..

In fact, these attacks did not only occur here..

For some reason, the dark forces that had been hiding for a while began to raise their heads one by one at some point..

Their potential, having grown stronger by living in the shadows of the world for a long time, was definitely formidable..

What's more, aren't we already in a hectic situation because of monsters?.

In such a situation, those who used even their own lives as tools and cunningly took advantage of the opportunity were firmly contributing to the aggravation of the damage..

Paaaat!

However, even in this situation, there were people who actively opposed the terrorist act.—.

“Phew, it arrived in one go this time. Fortunately, I guess it's not too late..”

“You seem to be getting better at it. Even if you were a great wizard, it wouldn't be easy to travel such a long distance with so many people..”

“It is not good news to hear that it has been used that often. That means the situation is bad..”

They were the four figures who appeared with a bright halo of light..

“Kahahaha! How long are you going to keep talking? Then let me go first.!”

“···I will go too.”

A muscular giant holding a large ax and a grim-looking middle-aged man holding a spear entered the enemy lines like a thunderbolt first..

“Pfft! Kill them first!”

“Hey, magic doesn’t work?! What kind of monster is this?!”

“Hahaha! Where are you running away, come here!”

Harley, who was the first to charge in, ignored all of the opponent's attacks with her powerful anti-magic power using dragon scales and repeatedly swung her large axe.···.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

“Puhihi! Stop dying... keke!”

“Ouch! Save me... Ah? I lived, I lived?”

The spear of the gray-haired man holding the spear quickly flew through space and saved those in danger..

“First of all, we need to reduce the number of undead. To be able to carry out a surprise attack with such a large number, it must have been the Immortal King's own efforts..”

Ugh—! Kwaaang!

And the enormous mana that surged from Isea's body instantly materialized a mystery and began to sweep away hundreds of undead at once..

“Pfft! Is it really foresight? How can you come so quickly?!”

The warlock, their leader, gritted his teeth as he saw over a hundred followers and thousands of undead armies melting like snow in real time..

I expected them to come from the beginning, and I had already given up the thought of living there, but... their majesty was greater than I had imagined, so I became anxious without knowing it..

‘I guess this is my grave after all.’

But no matter what, I can't die in vain like this..

Even if you die, shouldn't you leave a trace of your existence in this world?!

Gooooo—

He immediately burned his life force and at the same time forced the magic of his heart to run wild and began preparing great magic that he would not have been able to use originally..

In order to dye everything in this area with death in exchange for one's soul..

“Hee hee— dirty establishment bastards. Remember it clearly! Our resistance does not end here. Death is an equal value for everyone, regardless of rank or rank! Create a world without discrimination···.”

“I understand your thoughts well..”

However, as he prepared the magic and cursed the world, his speech was unintentionally cut off.···.

Puuk—

“Wow—!”

“There are too many useless words.”

“Oh, no... there was a barrier.···.”

Before I knew it, Heinrich had come next to me and was driving the holy sword deep into his heart..

Of course, as he said, there were quite a few types of defense, but with only that level of skill, he could not block the natural enemy of black magic, “Blessing: Light Sword”..

Afterwards, the light injected through the holy sword embedded in his heart completely burned away the evil magic that was swirling within the warlock's body, and in the end, he quietly turned into ashes and scattered without even being able to resist much..

And after a while.

“Wow—!”

“I lived, I lived!”

There were only four of them, but it didn't take long to eliminate thousands of enemies..

Unfortunately, when the whole situation was over, most of the lord's family had already perished in the secret attack that followed the attack..

“May God’s love be with them..”

After a brief moment of silence, Heinrich pretended not to have seen the people secretly tearing down the castle and diligently treated the injured..

“Oh my, saint, you saved me and even treated me like this. thank you!”

“thank you! thank you!”

“no. Helping those in need is the duty of anyone who follows the Lord..”

“That's the right mindset! As expected, he is like Saint Heinrich of the main church.!”

“Oh, that's a shame. Harley, thank you for your hard work too..”

After completing the task of imprinting the names of the people here by mobilizing Harley, who inserts the Chuimsae, they gathered again by Isea's side to move to another place..

Because high-quality personnel like them could not invest a long time in one place forever..

‘By the way, it's quite useful. I chose him because his ability and personality were at the acceptable level. ...That's the same situation..’

Heinrich glanced at Geos Kalkin, a middle-aged man with gray hair and blue eyes holding a spear, and nodded..

Geos was a strong man who voluntarily came to participate after hearing the news about the hero party, and there were several reasons why he was selected for the hero party..

First of all, the ability.

The fact that a pure Auror user who had not yet reached transcendence was able to attack beyond space meant that the secret he had learned was very special..

···So greedy.

The drama is about establishing your own system, perfecting your energy, and standing at the end of the path..

In another dimension, they are so-called sword masters or flower masters. Even if they are not used separately, their naturally activated energy assists all abilities and their efficiency when used directly increases dramatically..

In the first place, I couldn't impersonate him because the density of his energy was on a different level..

And after growing further, it was transcendence that finally broke the mold and went beyond the limits of existence..

Cuts space with a sword, causes phenomena through will alone, and even reads cause and effect naturally..

Since each person's method of transcending is different, it could not be accurately defined in one word..

For example, Conwell, the commander of the Imperial Guard Knights, had the ability to 'cut' everything, even cutting the energy of the abyss into pieces..

‘In that respect, it is a very mouth-watering technology. I guess I'll have to persuade him somehow and then sneakily say something..’

maybe it won't be that difficult.

The second reason for accepting Geos was his personal history..

‘Did you say that your family was caught up in the sacrificial incident that occurred across the continent, known as the Immortal King's act to open the abyss?.’

He was a noble of the Kingdom of Lesk, but like Isea, he achieved that position solely through skill..

As a commoner and an orphan, he was very attached to his wife and children, but they ended up suffering..

In other words, his motive for joining the warrior party was not a sense of duty, but only a desire for revenge against the Immortal King..

And Heinrich... could not refuse the man who had lost the will to live and begged for a chance for revenge..

‘···It's similar to me.’

Of course revenge will definitely help.

Among the people he just killed, there were quite a few members of the Necromancy Pact, and it will not stop until all of the instigators of that tragedy have been killed..

“Well then, let's move on. Don't resist magic.”

Ugh—!

The endlessly flowing magic of IseA surrounds them..

Eventually, they disappeared from the County of Beoin in the Kingdom of Sharoti..

For attacks on a small scale, we were able to prepare for them by paying attention with 'foreknowledge', and even though a group of warriors were directly involved in an invasion of such a large scale, they were busy without even a moment's notice..

However, in proportion to that, the fame of the hero Heinrich and his companions was gradually spreading throughout the continent..
