My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 225

#225

Chalcos Tribal Confederation (3)

Beorsen was a city formed around a large oasis in the middle of the desert, and was also a transportation hub leading to other regions of the south..

Even though the South had a strong emphasis on military force and was despised by other regions as a barbaric land, it was natural that commerce was an important factor as it was a land where people lived..

Although it is not called a big city, it is one of the trading cities that connects several regions and is always busy day and night..

That was Beorsen..

“···It was also the city where Baltheon came from and became his base....”

Images of the past are everywhere, now behind the sand dunes a little away from the city, which is covered in an ominous and black aura..

“As expected, the situation seems unusual. It's worth the rush.”

Misty, who guided the hero party here, sighed and muttered softly..

A beautiful woman with the healthy bronze skin typical of Southerners, dark brown hair braided in several braids, and black eyes that shine like obsidian..

Befitting her name as a great shaman, she had a splendid engraving that started from her forehead, passed through one eye, and extended to her collarbone, but her eyes were almost closed, as if she was tired..

“···Are you okay? I think you are overdoing it..”

“It's not okay, but there's nothing we can do. Because it was a situation where I had to overdo it..”

In response to Heinrich's question, she rubbed her eyes and made a groaning sound..

That's bound to happen.

Immediately after encountering the warrior party, she had to struggle quite a bit to move her warriors to keep pace with them..

No matter how elite the warriors are, if they had tried to follow the warrior party on their own, they would have all spread out by the time they arrived..

“It doesn't really help much in combat anyway. So, I chose the one with the highest probability. It must have been fate that I met you.”

Clearly, looking at the current situation, it seemed like a good choice to come with the warriors..

Even though the goal of the hero party is to reach the leaders, Baltheon and Hans, there will be considerable obstacles in the process of getting there..

Misty, a great shaman who maintained a spell on hundreds of people for half a day and helped them get here quickly, secretly, and in the best condition..

“And our meeting is also fate.”

···Before she knew it, she was next to Harley, leaning on his massive forearm and whispering softly..

“Ugh?”

“Ah—I’ve never seen such beautiful muscles before. These massive biceps and forearms... no, they are all perfect works of art from head to toe.!”

“Hahaha! Miss, you know something.!”

At that sudden action, the expressions of not only the warrior party but also the southern warriors nearby changed strangely, but the simple Harley just burst out in satisfied laughter..

“It was so hard to control my trembling heart from the moment I was carried on Harley's broad back. From style to body size, I never dreamed that my ideal type, which I had only imagined for a long time, would be like this in reality.?”

Her tone of voice, which had always seemed calm, became hazy..

No, not just the way you speak, but also the actions..

Now he was hugging the boy's forearm and rubbing his cheek..

“This is embarrassing! Hahaha—!”

“How can you even make a laugh so reliable?.”

Harley is more like a southern warrior than a southern warrior.

In other regions, he was seen as nothing more than a bloody barbarian, but here he was the most handsome man who could literally only appear in dreams..

“Sheesh, good-looking guys attract women even if they just sit still! unluckily.”

“Ugh, Misty, the flower of the noble desert.···!”

“Hey, I know how you feel, but calm down. Because handsome isn't everything about that person. If you mess around for no reason, you could end up with a blood clot..”

Of course, there were jealous looks from the male warriors who came here with him..

“her! Anyway, you should be jealous that the guys will be jealous. The difference in level is so big, what kind of jealousy is there??”

“By the way, I was keeping an eye on it, but I never thought Misty would show up like that first. Ugh~ Look at those forearms, I’m jealous..”

“I thought you weren't interested in men at all, but it turns out you just had high standards.?”

Some female warriors even looked at them with regret..

“···For some reason, I was burying my head in his back the whole time we were being carried together..”

And Lee Se-ah, who was looking at them from a foot away, muttered with a shocked expression..

When it was agreed upon to accompany each other based on mutual interests, Misty dared to ask Harley to carry her..

Of course, his wide back wasn't enough to carry two women, so I was worried that a Southerner would be more comfortable, so I passed on it.···.

I thought the fact that she was rubbing her forehead against his back the whole time she was moving was something she did while concentrating on maintaining the spell, but it seems she was fulfilling her selfish desires from then on..

‘Still, I think I haven't shown it for a while, but in the current situation,?’

He didn't seem like a person who couldn't make sense of things..

Lee Se-ah, who was staring at Misty like that, suddenly realized that her eyes were not simply hazy, but had completely relaxed..

As if completely asleep.

‘···Is he talking in his sleep right now??’

I heard you felt uneasy for some reason earlier..

Se-ah Lee approached them who were talking haha, out of curiosity, and carefully shook their shoulders..

There was no reaction either..

“Hey, Misty? Misty! Come to your senses! Now is not the time!”

In the end, it wasn't until Se-ah Lee screamed and shook her body roughly that.

“hot! yes yes? suddenly what···.”

As if she had just woken up, Misty slowly looked around with her eyes wide open..

All eyes around me are focused this way.

“······.”

Then, he slowly raised his head along Harley's forearm that he was hugging..

As she made eye contact with him who was looking down at her blankly, her dark skin suddenly started to turn bright red..

“···sorry. I think I lost my mind for a moment..”

Then, as if nothing had happened, he let go of that arm and walked away to the side, pressing down on the hood of his robe..

For a moment, there was an awkward silence in the hall..

“Ugh—um!”

As if to help Misty, who was writhing slightly and twisting her whole body, Saint Riesta, who had been quiet, raised her voice and attracted everyone's attention..

“···What should I do now? It's slowly getting dark. If the Immortal King was involved, fighting in the dark wouldn't be a good choice. But I don't think it would be a good idea to delay any more time here..”

But the topic she brought up was definitely something worth thinking about..

Beorsen, engulfed in thick darkness, did not look like an obvious place to enter at night..

Heinrich looked around the group slowly..

Although he ran for quite a long time, his party members were not at the level where their skills would be reduced for such a forced march..

The southern warriors joined in and adjusted the pace a little more..

Also, the warriors were in fairly good condition thanks to Misty's magic..

Even though I was a little tired, I rested for about an hour from the moment I arrived to just now to recover, so the only person who couldn't fight was Misty, who was almost exhausted..

In the midst of deliberation, a lively meeting within the brain began to take place again..

-Harley: I can fight right now.!

-Heinz II: Is there any need to take risks? It would be best to wait until daylight before going..

-Hubert: It's frustrating to be disconnected from what was always connected. It would definitely be safer to go after daylight. Even if Hans turns away, he probably won't try to kill Heinrich and Harley, but the other party members don't know..

-Howard: I think it's better to go as soon as you're ready! Hans Is that guy going to get stronger by night and weaker by day??

-Hugo: That's definitely true. But you never know what tricks there might be out there. Won't the damage to the warriors increase??

-Hesperon: No, if you think about it, the only answer is to go in right away..

However, the meeting soon began to converge as Hesperon began to argue..

-Hesperon: Hans is probably devouring the entire city right now. In order to contaminate all soldiers to be mobilized for war..

-Hubert: Civilians will probably be included as troops in the process..

-Hesperon: That's right. And when all of that work is completed, Hans will immediately move to the next location with Baltheon at the forefront. To capture the rest of the prepared troops.

-Hugo: Now that I think about it, no matter what they did, those soldiers thoroughly obeyed Baltheon's orders. Even if the Immortal King appears right in front of you, you won't be able to resist..

-Heinz II: I see. Is the energy surrounding the city now proof that Hans still remains there?.

-Hesperon: Now is our only chance. Once Hans starts moving, you can never keep up with his mobility. If you want to stop it, don't give it any more time..

That was the end of my meeting..

In fact, the conclusion may have already been made from the moment I realized that victims were continuing to emerge from there..

-Heinrich: Let's go straight in. and···.

When Heinrich, the final decision maker of the party, expressed his thoughts, the party members nodded in agreement..

Of course, the southern warriors who would join them as their helpers also acted immediately according to that decision..

-Heinrich: ...I will definitely drive the holy sword into that bastard's heart, Hans..

Heinrich's steps, filled with frustration and anger, headed towards Beorsen, the city where Hans is located..

***

“Just trust us, Harley! Even if it costs me death, I won't let those idiots get even one step closer.!”

“Actually, that's all we can do..”

“···But Sentai Warchief Baltheon is not the problem. I didn't know that the Immortal King was behind him..”

A trio of southern warriors with Harley.

As they approached the city, they sat next to him and whispered softly, as if to relieve tension..

As we chatted on the way here, I already knew why they were here..

They were from the South, and while working as mercenaries, they were in regular contact with their hometown. In the meantime, they learned that something suspicious was going on in the South..

As they talked with each of them feeling uncomfortable, they realized that all three of them actually had the same thoughts..

Along the way, he stopped at the Hubert Company and left a letter for Harley, and then went straight down to the south..

“Oh, now that I think about it, I wrote a lot of embarrassing things in that letter. Harley, I think it would be best to not read that and just throw it away..”

“···Hmm, I think so too..”

They came down to the south and ran into Misty, who had just escaped from confinement and was being chased by her pursuers..

Afterwards, he helped her, and after many twists and turns, he rallied the warriors who had not yet fallen to Baltheon and eventually came to this place..

‘Looks like these kids have had some pretty eventful adventures so far..’

Even so, Harley can only be confident..

He nodded in satisfaction, then raised his head and looked at the gates of Beorsen..

Although it is a desert city, the number of monsters roaming around here was not small, so a wall made of bricks made of sand and hardened surrounded the entire city..

In the middle of it all, a tightly closed castle gate was blocking their path..

“···The door is closed, but there are no soldiers guarding it..”

Heinrich slightly tilted his head..

The quietest way would be for everyone to secretly climb over the walls, but Hans would already know they were approaching..

Then, the few people who climbed over the castle wall forced the door to open.···.

He finished his thought like that before he even opened his mouth to say anything..

At that time, Harley had already walked to the gate without thinking..

“Wait, do···!”

“Hrachacha—!”

After swinging a big fist at the castle gate.

Kwaaaaang—!

It wasn't a physical mutation or the use of the dragon's scales..

From the moment it was swung, the fist, which far exceeded the speed of sound, was stuck in the gate..

Quad deuk—! Grumble! Kwaaang—!

The large metal-covered door was fired like a cannonball into the castle wall..

And along the path of that badly dented castle gate, the sound of something breaking and collapsing was heard one after another from inside..

The most spectacular signal of the start of war.

“Wow!!”

“Hehehe—!”

Then, as if stimulated by this, bizarre, angry sounds began to echo throughout the castle..

“ok? why? called me?”

“···it's nothing. Well done! Harley.”

Although it was sudden, we were able to find out that a significant number of enemy troops were ambushed inside..

And that's because he's already lost his senses.

“Let's go. We will take the lead.”

“Oh! It's good!”

So, with the hero party at the forefront.

A group of troops poured into the city to kill Warchief Baltheon and the Immortal King Hannibal Strauss..
