My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 222
#222
transcendence (2)
The Elven Kingdom was able to safely overcome the crisis of continental collapse thanks to Harris' performance, but the aftereffects of this incident were by no means small..
In addition to the massive human casualties caused by the invasion of lycanthropes and giants, additional countermeasures had to be prepared due to the numerous cracks that had appeared in various parts of the outskirts..
Still, it was not a situation that could be said to be the worst, as a new High Elf Transcendent, a reliable supporter to protect the World Tree, was born, and the cracks near the border could receive support from neighboring countries..
The really worst thing right now is not the enamel continent, but the ion continent..
It was a human territory that was getting worse by the minute due to the Immortal King's continuous offensive..
Kwaaaang—! Powwow!
Flames erupted and loud explosions erupted throughout the village..
“Wow!!”
“Run away! I need to get out of the city quickly... haha!”
“mom mom···!”
People who run away in despair.
Quickly! Clap!
[kieek!]
Crackling—!
Even the undead troops who annihilated the defenders who stood in front and rushed into the village ran rampant..
It was a truly tragic event, but now incidents of this magnitude are not that rare on the Aeon Continent..
Even if the saint informed him of the location of the attack in advance, there was a limit to his ability to simply block it, so it was inevitable that a breach would eventually be created due to the continuous waves of attacks..
In particular, such incidents occurred more frequently in places where national power was weaker, and eventually the three kingdoms in the western part of the continent bowed their pride and signed an agreement with the Kingdom of Thalia, asking for help from vampires first..
Of course, it goes without saying that we gave up a lot to them in the process..
However, while everyone was having a hard time, there were some people who were busier than ever and showed results that were incomparable to others..
They are the saviors who continue their undefeated streak of consecutive wins, and the hope of the continent led by the saint of the main church.···.
Kwaaang—!
[Heheook!]
“Kahahaha! Get lost!”
···It was a warrior's party.
In a gap filled with the already crowded undead,.
Harley, standing in the center of a large crater, smiled viciously as she looked at the Death Knight's head lying on the ground, held in her large hand..
[I can't believe it... it doesn't make any sense. The sword on this body can only cause scratches.!]
For a moment, an intimidating force burst out from the enraged Death Knight, and the wildly blooming black magic penetrated the body of the person holding his head..
It was an all-out method that would kill an ordinary person just by touching it, and even a warrior who reached the ultimate level would be cursed if he did not wear an auror..
[How can I do this with my bare body?···!]
At that level, it was impossible to delve into Harley's body, the "ultimate evolved life form," which was already beyond completion and was reaching new heights every day..
Without even needing to generate energy, any attack that is below the level will be repelled by the vitality and madness flowing within his body..
“ok? No, no! You did a good job. I never thought it was possible to hurt this body! Hahaha!”
Although it is a rare stone, that Death Knight is also an executive-level commander dispatched from the Immortal City..
Even after completely wiping out the initial target area, he remained until the end and continued to receive reinforcements from the undead using his body as the coordinates, and was a master-level tycoon who stirred up the southern area of the Lesk Kingdom..
Even so, Harley's body had already regenerated and only left a few scars without a trace..
It was a shabby achievement that did not match the majesty of defeating many strong players of the Lesk Kingdom..
Crackling—!
Death Knight's helmet began to get distorted due to Harley's grip strength..
Of course, it was a metal that could not even cause a proper wound unless it was an Auror of the same level, but that was just a meaningless generalization in the face of overwhelming power..
[Turn it off! You are an apostle of madness! The Immortal King will not tolerate you.···!]
“Yeah, no.”
Kwazijic!
The moment a fist is clenched, metal remnants stick out between the fingers..
It was shaped like a helmet, but it was distorted into an ugly shape, like a piece of clay held by a child, and rolled around on the floor..
“hmm! This should be enough.”
After easily tearing off the breastplate and crushing the heart through which dark magic flows, he lightly shakes his hands and stands up..
The undead that were annoyingly stuck around just bounced off as if they had been hit by a truck by just lightly opening their bodies..
After crushing the undead with his flailing hands and feet, he watched his companions wipe out the remaining undead and whetted his appetite..
‘This guy was a little fun, but it wasn't enough..’
Immediately after ascending to transcendence, the impulse that was a major part of his personality grew uncontrollably..
From then on, there was only one thing he wanted..
A fierce fight against an enemy strong enough to risk one's life, delicious, nutritious and plentiful meat, a destructive instinct to smash everything in the way, and a desire to show off and reveal oneself to the world.···.
‘what? Isn't there one? Well, anyway!’
Although my needs were still being met to some extent, it was not very satisfying..
I really force it, barely, just barely... I'm just suppressing my impulses by pulling together what little bit of reason I have left..
‘Ah, I want to invade the immortal city! There are a lot of strong guys there, how fun can it be? King's decision also worked very well. I would have felt even better if I had hunted and eaten it myself. Come to think of it, I ate almost all of the dragon meat, so I wonder if there's one hiding somewhere? Now, try becoming a dragon slayer.?’
Fragmentary thoughts based on interest swept through his simpler mind and disappeared..
While he was thinking about other things, his eyes suddenly turned to the desert on one side..
‘When are you going to go to the south? That guy called the Warchief must be strong, right? By the way, that old lady must be waiting for me. uh? You don't think I ran away because I was scared, right? Uh huh?’
This is the southernmost region in the Kingdom of Lesk, located in the southwestern part of the continent..
In other words, it was adjacent to the desert heading to the Southern Tribal Confederation..
‘···At this point, it's just.’
As soon as I realized that the target was right in front of me, the impulses I had barely suppressed came rushing out..
And the thin patience I had been struggling to hold on to due to the influence of other avatars suddenly broke down..
The corners of Harley's mouth slowly turned up, revealing sharp teeth..
***
Now the Immortal is busy preparing for the daily invasion..
However, the leader simply left all the proceedings to his subordinates and sat quietly on the throne of Daejeon, lost in thought..
-Heinrich: Harley! Where are you going again? Didn’t I tell you to wait a little longer?!
-Harley: Hahaha! I've endured enough now! I'll hurry up and grab the guy's head.!
-Heinz II: I wish I could do things that easily. Oh, Byepo, these guys have such a complicated collusion that it's hard to tell where to start and how far to cut them off. If you cut them all out, it will lead to war..
-Hubert: I think it was quite impressive that Brokoslak swallowed up the kingdom of Thalia. In fact, it even looks more sophisticated. Looks like you did a lot of research while you were in hiding..
-Hugo: Hey, shouldn’t we stop Harley first?···.
-Howard: Heng! Right now, that guy won't die anymore, so it doesn't matter. It is said that an ore called Detrium can only be found in the southern desert. Pick it up on your way out! It's already hard to get because it's an export-banned item, but this time, the trafficking route is clogged, so even Hubert can't get it..
Busy exchange of thoughts in the head as usual.
Since there is no main body to serve as the center, this complicated method is being used, but now enough of the Earth's time has passed by one day..
Based on Hugo's rough diagnosis, Baron predicted that it would take about three days for him to wake up, so he might have opened his eyes in about 15 days at the earliest..
[Hmm, it’s a full moon.]
Once again aware of that fact, the immortal king Hannibal Strauss once again had time for serious reflection..
While watching this Enamel Continent incident, I was greatly impressed and at the same time realized one thing..
‘···Isn’t there so little that has been accomplished so far? As expected, I backed off too much. I thought he was acting purely for profit, but it seems that the memories left in his body were subconsciously influencing him..’
The only thing he could do was to send his subordinates to engulf the entire continent in the flames of war..
Didn't the Oath of Yeokcheon, who had been looked down on and seen only as a distraction, come up with a plan to submerge an entire continent and even put it into action?!
In addition, it was almost on the verge of success, so if it had not been for the intervention of Harris, who had the World Tree on his back, it might have really gone their way..
How much karma would have been earned in that case?···.
Crackling!
The handle of the throne made of bone was crushed by Hans' "super strength"..
For him, who uses dark magic to perform all his activities, not having muscles was not a big problem..
‘It hurts my pride. This body of an immortal king is worse than those guys.!’
Admiring them was admiration, and whether you could accept it was a separate question..
Because the true dark side of this world had to be yourself.!
Every time he clashed with the Oath of Rebellion, he won a series of victories, and while he took a lot of them under his command, he was slightly ignoring them.···.
‘Yes, I shouldn't have thought so much about those guys who would open the abyss and unleash madness. It was definitely a mistake. I have to admit what I have to admit.’
Now that the reflection was over, the next step was to change course..
In my mind, I wanted to ignore the promise and head south with my army right away, but if I did that, there was a high possibility that I would end up only suffering losses as soon as the main body woke up..
Once it started, it would have to be relentless in order to gain more than Henry's diminished prestige, but it seemed unlikely that the main body would continue to tolerate large-scale war..
‘But now there is no time to come up with another plan. They said it was a plan that had been in preparation for at least ten years..’
His head began to spin as he was deep in thought..
Starting with the most impressive Abyssal Madness leak, the recent princess attack incident, the lycanthrope invasion of the Enamel Continent, the tribal alliance declaring diplomatic severance and preparing for war, and the Republic showing suspicious behavior after being invaded by the Obaipo Clan..
Looking at the scale of the events that have occurred so far, there is no doubt that the number of masterpieces that have not yet occurred will have a huge impact..
then···.
‘Yes, I will take this whole body away from you..’
Of course, since karma follows a strict causal relationship, it would not be possible to earn a satisfactory amount just by adding a spoonful to an already established plan..
It's better than not doing it at all, but if you're going to do it, it's better to do it right..
Having come to that conclusion, he took action immediately without waiting..
-Heinrich: Wait, Hans! What on earth are you going to do? It's still too much! It's no longer a big problem···!
Heinrich, his troublesome self who always pursues the right path and speaks only of the right things, began to make a fuss, but.
That wasn't enough to stop his decision..
-Hannibal Strauss: Hmm, this may be new, but let me correct one thing. This body is not Hans, but Hannibal Strauss..
-Heinrich: I haven't decided to give it up now.···.
Ignoring the thoughts still buzzing in his head, he slowly looked around after using his immortality to travel a long distance..
A bright moon rising in the night sky, countless stars, and sand dunes sparkling and crumbling in the light..
And even in the distance, a desert city that reveals its bright presence with countless torches even in the middle of the night..
This was the Chalcos Tribal Confederation that Harley was targeting..
Among them, it was 'Beorsen', the base of the tribal leader and the center of the coup, which was discovered through long-term information collection..
Ding ding ding ding ding—!
“emergency! emergency! Everyone in battle stance!”
“The shamans immediately wake up the berserkers.!”
Ugh—
Since it is an important base, have you prepared thoroughly?.
As soon as he appeared, the city became noisy, and the entire Beorsen began to be covered by a strange barrier..
[Hehehe—I like it too. If they're incompetent, there's no need to have it in the first place..]
The immortal king who unexpectedly attacked the south.
He thrust a huge spatula... no, a shovel into a plan that was going smoothly..
If you don't give it to me obediently, I'm ready to knock over the table..
