My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 196

white giant (3)
[———!!]
Sound waves filled with the giant's anger and murderous intent spread heavily, shaking the whole place..
Rumbling—! Quad deuk! Kwaang—!
It doesn't stop there, and the ground breaks down due to the continuous shaking and shaking, resulting in an earthquake..
“Haha! This guy, he's still alive and well.!”
Harley let out a cool laugh as she sat on the guy's head with her 10-ton body..
Still using “Jewel Eye: Coercion” with all my might to prevent him from getting up..
Of course, it was impossible for anyone to completely suppress this gigantic body weighing hundreds of tons, the size of a 10-story building..
But since its body is humanoid, wouldn't the process needed to raise it be obvious??
‘I am also quite familiar with the structure of the human body..’
For him, who modified his own body and unintentionally became well-versed in human anatomy, it was no surprise that he only focused on interfering with the giant's movements to get up..
‘That alone consumes so much energy that it seems difficult to maintain it for a long time. Once people have time to evacuate, that's it..’
In addition, when I used the biological power mixed with 'madness' to activate 'Jewel Eye: Coercion', it was more effective against giants than I expected..
Otherwise, it would have taken more effort to catch him..
coo coo coo coo coo coo coo—
But it seems like that has now reached its limit..
“Oh my! This guy has a short temper! You can lie down a little longer.!”
Finally, the giant with both hands on the floor raised his upper body little by little..
Harley, who was holding down the back of the guy's head with her overwhelming mass, slowly stood up..
just as expected.
Whoa whoa—!
A white hand, about the same size as the now fully transformed Harley, flew towards him with a strong booming sound..
“What's wrong!”
Of course, Harley, who would not allow such a monotonous attack, lightly dodged the hand gesture and ducked to the floor..
Still, perhaps it was because he bought time for Isea to step forward and help people evacuate, and now Harley herself is nearby.···.
“Hmm, I kind of expected it. No matter how much you destroy the internal organs, there is no effect. But I never thought I would be fine even if I break my heart.”
“Ugh, I don't know if my attack will work..”
In that moment, only Heinrich and Zios, who were diligently chopping up the giant's body, remained..
“Haha! Do you think I should aim for the head? I tried to break it while standing on top of it, but it was so hard and filled with madness that I didn't think I could do it right away. Isn't a place with such strong defenses a weak point??”
Harley moved her heavy body to stand next to her colleagues and spoke calmly..
Heinrich and Zios were quite tall, but there was a huge height difference between them that made them look like adults and children next to him..
···Well, it was still there in front of that giant..
In front of them was a white giant who had fully stood up and was looking down with an expression full of anger..
When I looked up at it right in front of me, the entire sky was covered and shadows were cast everywhere..
[——?! ——!]
‘Hmm, I guess I'm very angry as expected.?’
A powerful sound coming from the vast muscles that are swollen to the fullest and the neck and neck that are constantly twitching..
Also, it seemed like it didn't even care about the orphanage group that it had first chased after, and its head didn't know how to leave the hero's party... or more precisely, Heinrich and Harley..
As if reflecting the feelings of such a giant.
Whoosh! Kwaaang!
Before they knew it, the hand that had risen high struck down like a thunderbolt, crushing the entire area near where they were..
Of course, the party was not one to suffer from such a monotonous attack, so the battle unfolded again in a similar manner as before..
‘This giant is definitely very intelligent... I'm not rational enough to use it effectively. Well, it’s a monster that crawled up from the abyss, so isn’t it natural?.’
We did everything we could to not only understand human language, but also extract information from those conversations and pinpoint targets that could be their weak points..
Even later, he showed a clever side of using it in reverse to gain a significant advantage in battle..
‘In the end, rushing into the real village was an irrational decision..’
Hostages had value when they were alive..
If you really kill him, you will only provoke his opponent's anger and there will be nothing left.···.
‘No wait, is there really nothing left??’
Then suddenly, a thought crossed my mind..
The opponent is a monster crawling up from the abyss..
Is it really right to judge such a person’s behavior by general standards??
‘If so, what he gets is···.’
When a specific target is killed, anyone who sees it will be angry..
There may also be people who are sad, people who despair, who are pessimistic about the world, and who cannot accept reality and go crazy..
‘All of them are negative emotions..’
And to the being of the abyss, such negative emotions were not simply enough to provide strength..
‘A means to increase the status of existence itself... a means to become stronger by absorbing bad karma.’
That's what you knew best.
because—.
‘···Because it’s the same with Hans..’
Hannibal Strauss, the immortal king, Hans for short.
Previous immortal kings have invaded the continent each time, consumed by their mission to color the world with death..
Hans was able to block that impulse thanks to the “Mind Herb,” but he was fully aware of the extent of its compulsion..
Didn't he come into contact with the fragments several times and feel it indirectly, as well as the information left behind by the thoughts of the previous immortal king?.
‘And the one who carried on the evil deeds of the previous generation is the current Hans..’
When the Immortal King is passed down from generation to generation, he inherits some of the bad karma accumulated by previous generations and becomes stronger..
Of course, as it was a crystal of death taken from the abyss, it must have been strong from the beginning..
Chu Chu, the greatest wizard of his time, may have targeted a defenseless situation, but he burned down half of the continent..
The second generation, a third-rate warlock who happened to obtain the heart, destroyed the western part of the continent, for which preparations had already been made..
‘Of course, it doesn't seem like this giant has the ability to transmit bad karma from generation to generation.···.’
What is important right now is that this white giant in front of us is also a being that has similar conditions to the Immortal King and can become strong..
‘···Are you planning to create a second immortal king??’
Heinrich, who was swinging his sword, frowned unconsciously..
He was convinced that the phenomenon that had just occurred could not have occurred naturally..
It was not a being that was drifting on the border, but a monster that was supposed to be at the bottom of the abyss suddenly tore through the scar and jumped out..
He even has a considerable amount of madness in his body..
If so, wouldn't the identity of the person who did this be obvious??
‘The oath of reverse heaven. A person who possesses a medium of madness pulled from the abyss. He must have done something..’
When I thought about it that way, I didn't think it was just a coincidence that the giant had appeared here now..
Even though this is the kingdom of Lesque, which has many scars from the abyss as it was the final battle site against the second immortal king, isn't the timing too odd?.
‘···Are you targeting Saint Heinrich? Or maybe he was driven by Harley's madness..’
Maybe it was just a coincidence, but now it didn't matter what the reason was..
‘···To prevent this guy from growing any further, we just have to end it right here..’
The eyes of Heinrich, who was wielding the holy sword, and Harley, who was cutting into the giant's flesh with his sharp nails, flashed..
[“Now I will assist too! We gathered not only the people from the orphanage but also the villagers and set up a temporary barrier in a safe place, so it is unlikely that they will be swept away..”]
[“That's good. There's nothing to worry about now, let's finish him off for sure.?”]
At the same time, news came that Lee Se-ah, who had been away, had returned..
I had a good understanding of the giant's abilities, and there was nothing worth worrying about anymore..
Hooong— cooing!
A huge right foot strikes down at Harley again..
But by the time it hit the ground, he had already taken over the giant's back..
It moved so quickly that before the dust that rose along its trajectory had even settled..
Harley, lying on the floor, curled up like a wild beast and raised the corners of her mouth, revealing her vicious teeth..
Pop! Geek—!
Metallic sounds leaked out from the extremely compressed muscles, and the "Heart of the Light Dragon" beat continuously, causing high-density energy to swirl throughout the entire body..
“Hahaha! first···!”
Imprints, bio-aurors, and 'madness' began to destroy his body while strengthening it, disregarding the limitations of the physical body..
Maintaining such necrotic cells is the responsibility of “super regeneration”.
“Let’s start at eye level! friend!”
The thigh muscles, which were mixed with the genes of a mutant Minotaur that I had once acquired, swelled greatly..
Pulling with all my might my hands that were stuck on the floor.
Kwaaang—!
Harley's body was launched like a missile..
Toward the giant's right side.
Kuung—!
With a heavy sound, the giant's legs shook and his body swayed..
Even though it weighed hundreds of tons, it wasn't that light either..
Since such a body was rammed into the human body's weak points like a missile, the result was obvious..
He tried to hold on with his left leg for a moment, but···.
“Hmm!”
Wow—
The effort was in vain because there were already many scabbards, and Heinrich swung his sword again at the right time..
[———?!]
Eventually, the giant began to fall on the side where Harley hit him..
The moment he instinctively reached out and tried to touch the floor..
“Whoa whoa—.”
Geos took a deep breath and raised his spear.—.
In a split second, dozens of spear strikes were fired into the air..
So far, his attacks have not had much effect on the giant, as it heals in just a few seconds..
Kwaaaaang—!
That was enough time to snap the guy's wrist as he tried to hit the ground and send him rolling around on the floor..
[———!!]
The earth screamed, and at the same time, a huge shock wave swept through the surroundings, and the giant screamed and twisted its body..
When I touched the ground with my healthy left hand and tried to raise my upper body by forcefully pushing off the floor with my right hand, which had just started to regenerate..
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu—
The sound of magical power resonating rang out, and Isea's gravity magic, activated again, pressed down on the guy's body..
It was an excellent combo attack that came together through the teamwork and shared intention magic that had been cultivated so far..
[“That giant has high resistance, so it won't last long.!”]
[“Haha! This is enough! Go straight to the next one!”]
[“···yes? You have to be more precise to get it right.!”]
But Harley just ran as if she wanted to show the rest with her own body..
He headed to where the giant's head was and jumped upward with all his might..
“Eurachacha—!”
[“ah? Now, wait a minute! If you enter that range now, Harley···!”]
“Hahaha! That's what I hoped for!”
Two hands held tightly behind the back and a waist curved like a bow..
In that state, he fell from the air under the acceleration of gravity..
I put all my weight on it and put my hands down..
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure!
As before, the giant head fell to the floor again..
It was as if a hammer weighing dozens of tons had hit my head, so it was natural..
[“Are you okay?! No matter how strong it is, isn't it too much of a stretch?!”]
[“Hmm... it's a little sore..”]
Of course, Harley, who launched a hand-to-hand attack, could not ignore the shock..
But he just waved his hands a few times and then looked down at the head beneath him once more..
“It's a familiar structure. It's a very nostalgic sight! Okay, so now we're going to have to destroy this..”
As if he was used to it since it was his second time, he used “Gem Eye: Coercion” to hinder the giant’s movements and stomped on the floor..
The skull was so strong that even though it was hit directly by his ‘Deadly Gravity Hammer’, it was only slightly dented..
[“···How about cutting off his head first??”]
[“oh? Good idea, bro.!”]
[“Then let me cut it first..”]
However, perhaps because it could be said to be a weak point, cutting off the head was not that easy..
Of course, it just takes a little more time..
On the way, the giant escaped from its restraints and went on a rampage once more, but it didn't last long and he fell to the floor again and had his throat cut..
and finally.
‘Oh, this?’
Harley smiled with satisfaction as she held the reward for her efforts..
***
Azerion Empire's western border region.
“Wow!”
“What is this monster! How on earth do you catch something like this?!”
There was a literal massacre unfolding in one camp there..
The number of elite soldiers who had already died reached hundreds, and among them was even a master-level knight who was the commander of the unit..
“retreat! Retreat! The first thing to do is to inform the corps of this fact.!”
“No, if something like that were to break free and enter the city, they would all be annihilated.!”
“But there’s nothing we can do! The priority is to warn those around you.!”
In the end, after taking an unreasonable retreat despite suffering damage, the executives were able to achieve their intended goal of conveying this information..
In the process, there was a tragedy in which more than 90% of the unit members were killed in droves..
And the person who created that tragedy... the huge white giant standing in the middle of the Sisan Blood Sea.
Tuduk—tuk!
I was alone in joy as I felt the frustrating seal that had been constricting me being lifted..
Of course, that doesn't mean all restrictions have disappeared..
The only thing that was open was the seal blocking one nostril..
[Hmm—]
But that alone gave him great joy..
At least now I can breathe like this.
As the giant began to breathe deeply, the air around him was sucked in at an incredible speed, filling his lungs..
and···.
[Huh—]
From the breath that comes out from one nostril again.
Wow!—
A terrible poison that corrodes everything spread everywhere..
