My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 238
#238
Republic of Zephia (1)
Shurihatgen, the elder dragon of the Gold clan who suddenly visited.
He took Horus with him and left Tarak and moved to another place..
Go to the nest where you have been hiding, a small island located in the northwest of the Ion Continent..
“It is a place that has been prepared with great care. No matter how immortal he is, he will never be able to find this place without accurate information..”
“Oh oh—!”
Even though his life was not long, he wanted to do his best to continue his education while there was still time left..
Although he was dying in real time as a result of waking up from the hibernation that had forced his lifespan to extend, he decided that it would be better for him to become food for the next generation than to live meaninglessly day after day..
‘You said you were fatally wounded in a war 300 years ago and have barely survived until now..’
Only because of the sense of responsibility to ensure that the Gold clan's legacy is not cut off..
A successor named Horus suddenly appeared in front of him who had endured so hard..
Horus glanced at him guiding Lair and then looked away with a subtle feeling..
As someone who was just a lucky stranger, I couldn't even guess how he was feeling towards me..
“I don't have much time left, so I'll do my best to teach during that time. This isn't the typical hatchling training method, but I can't help it now..”
He said he was sorry, but in reality, that was exactly what Horus wanted..
On the contrary, it would have been more frustrating if you were a dragon and had to waste time lounging around..
“「“The Golden Treasure” will be transferred to you upon my death. In fact, even if it is a legacy, there is not much left because most of the useful things were mobilized for war. Still, those alone would be at the rare level of a decent old dragon..”
Of course, the harsh criticism was only limited to mystical items such as relics and magic tools, and it could be said that general wealth with high cash value was literally piled up like a mountain..
“···Wait, you can use verbs? It's a hatchling.?”
“Okay, let me show you.?”
And immediately after having a conversation about it before starting full-scale education..
For the first time, Horus was able to see Schrihartgen, who had always appeared calm, genuinely embarrassed..
“···It's true. Huh. There are many cases where even those who have reached Juvenile cannot handle verbs properly, but hatchlings are the only ones... Ah, Dracalion!.”
If hatchlings were infants, Juvenile was adolescence..
Adult Dragon—the stage just before becoming Jackie Chan.
To put it simply, what Horus did just now was the equivalent of a preschooler solving a college entrance exam problem..
“I thought I had no choice but to give the basics of verbs and expect them to complete them on their own later, but this would save a lot of time..”
Schrihartgen soon accepted the situation and nodded slowly with a faint smile..
The term itself is no different from the power of a dragon, so it would have been possible to learn it naturally as one got older, but there was a high possibility that a more efficient way to use it was not properly passed down..
First of all, I was thinking of leaving the arrangement through magic tools, including grimoires, but the level of dragon magic was too high for it to be completely passed down through such means..
‘So before I die, I thought I would ask a survivor from another clan for a favor, but it worked out well..’
Of course, I know very well that in a situation where the entire race is in crisis, there is no way the person who asked the request would refuse, but isn't there still a thing called clan pride?.
If there was no other way, I didn't want to say sorry to other clans if I could solve it on my own..
In fact, not only before the appearance of the Immortal King a thousand years ago, but even before the situation worsened with the war three hundred years ago, the relationship between the clans was quite bad..
So from his perspective, who has lived a life without forgetfulness for thousands of years, the current situation is bound to be very satisfactory..
“good night. That's great. So let's get started right away.”
“yep!”
On a small, nameless island hidden in the northwest of the Aeon Continent,.
The camp life of Horus, the little hatchling, and Shurihatgen, the old dragon who burns the last of his life, has begun..
***
Earth, a place located in Suwon, South Korea.
In an enclosed space without a single light, a woman with long black hair was quietly drinking a teacup alone with her eyes closed..
Tea time in the dark, filled with silence where nothing seems to be able to disturb you.
But the silence suddenly changed as her body stiffened.—.
Clink—
Soon the teacup slipped from his hand and shattered to pieces..
However, even though the red tea that spread out with a loud burst and soaked the floor, she did not even move a little and remained frozen in the same posture as before..
Knock knock—
“Aria? Are you okay? Please excuse me for a moment.”
At that time, with an urgent knock, a woman carefully opened the door and entered..
She hurriedly looked around and found someone still sitting quietly in front of the tea table, and then slowly approached there with a sigh of relief..
“Aria? Are you okay??”
“···ah! Oops, I was thinking about something else and my hand slipped for a moment..”
“I will clean up the teacup right away. for a moment···.”
“No, I'll clean this up later. Could you please leave at once??”
“···All right. If anything happens, please call me anytime. I'll come running right away..”
The person who entered the room to the stubborn spirit of congratulations did not protest any further, but bowed politely and quietly walked out again..
A woman with her eyes closed, alone in the room again.
Vampire Aria, the leader of the moderate faction of one of the first clans that dominates the night streets of Korea, was lost in thought as she wiped the bloody tears from her eyes with a handkerchief she had taken from her bosom..
‘I thought it was quiet now. Is this still not enough?.’
With the hardliners ousted and Heinz's Heterosis taking their place, I thought maybe things would be okay now..
Just now, a crisis has been detected again in her unique skill “Page of Destiny”..
The foresight-type skill “Image of Destiny” only shows a fragment of the flow that occurred around her and around her, but it was like a lifeline that helped her always make the right choices even in difficult times..
It was all thanks to him that I accepted becoming a vampire, that I was able to safely return from another world and become the top executive of the clan, that I became the leader of the moderate faction and stood up to the hardliners, and that I cooperated with Heinz to absorb the clan's power. It was a choice that could have been made.
‘Heinz···.’
A man who had no choice but to take on all the burden because he could not do it on his own..
As Heterosis, the new bloodline he formed on Earth, succeeded in virtually swallowing up the bloodline, his reputation as the 'head of the moderate faction' was at the point where it became meaningless..
Still, thanks to the consideration of Jin So-ran, the second-in-command of Heterosis, he formed a crew with his followers and was spending his days leisurely as usual.···.
‘I think it would be a good idea to warn Soran first..’
Pussyuk—
As soon as she sighed and got up from her seat, the remains of the tea cup and black tea that were littering the floor crumbled and disappeared..
This happened on the fourth day since Hahoetal, who had been wandering around Japan, suddenly disappeared..
***
The Republic of Zephia rules the eastern part of the Aeon Continent..
When the day gets dark.
A hybrid of Earth's Heterosis and Outerica, Heinz II, the master of both, entered the interior of an old, shabby house on the outskirts of the capital..
However, even though he confidently crossed the street, opened the front door, and entered inside, no one noticed his presence, not only the residents passing by but also those inside the building..
Until he closes the door he opened and reveals himself again..
“···You're late..”
When he lifted the “denial of existence” and appeared, a cold female voice rang out softly from inside the building, as if she had been waiting for that moment..
“Came exactly at the promised time. As you know, I am quite busy..”
“under! That's right. Not only has he taken over a country, but he is also diligently reaching out to other places. How awesome is it??”
A middle-aged woman approaches with sharp words and the clicking sound of her shoes..
Kayla McClair, Vice President of the Zephyr Republic, who had become extremely sensitive, frowned and looked up at the tall man..
“That's also a misunderstanding. I have no interest in the Zephyr Republic. All I want is to subjugate Obaipo..”
Heinz, with a sneer, looked down at her with a vague gaze and muttered lowly..
Kayla met his gaze curiously for a moment, but before long, the corner of her eye twitched and she bit her lip and lowered her eyes..
‘To be honest, if I could eat it, I would devour it all by myself..’
However, the situation here was different from the Kingdom of Thalia, which was at the bottom of the continent in size and national power and only had to be under the control of the ruling class..
The Republic of Zephia was a power that could rival the Azerion Empire to the west, and since it was based on a republic in name and color, the lukewarm methods it had used before were out of the question..
‘Of course, Obypo is showing some effect now, but that won't last long..’
It is nothing more than a temporary problem that occurred at a good time, taking advantage of the current chaotic situation on the continent..
As expected of these guys who have been preparing for decades, they are proceeding very thoroughly, but now those who have realized the abnormalities at the top are starting to make moves one by one..
‘Perhaps once something starts to happen, it will continue to spread uncontrollably..’
In the process of resolving the problem, it is inevitable that there will be a temporary vacuum of governance, but if that had been normal, it could have been resolved somehow..
However, now the entire continent is in a wartime state of national emergency..
It was also a situation where there was still a dark side aiming to overthrow the world..
If this continues, the invasion of giants and monsters will be concentrated in the eastern part of the country due to the actions of revolutionaries who took advantage of the republic's internal troubles, and the entire country will be shaken as a result..
In addition, if you start installing the obai gun again in that situation,···.
‘In fact, that's probably what they want in the end..’
Rather than governing the intact 'Zephia Republic', ruling over refugees from a country that has fallen into anarchy and whose system has collapsed..
Even though it was too big to swallow whole, it was no different from chopping it up and swallowing it..
‘···I can't let that happen..’
I didn't even want to take over a country that was in such tatters..
It's a hassle to even take care of Thalia's kingdom right now, but wouldn't it be obvious that I'd only end up with a headache?.
And if I wasn't going to eat it anyway, I wasn't going to let someone else eat it..
Especially if that's what that revolutionary guy wants..
“Still, seeing as he's still alive, it seems like there wasn't any problem..”
“···Huh, there were a lot of problems. In fact, it's amazing that I'm even alive right now. I didn't know that Commander-in-Chief O'Connell would be defeated..”
A warrior who reached transcendence and protected the border with the empire, and a great man who was called the guardian deity of Zephia..
Following the tragic news she learned while trying to somehow contact him, not long after that, a full-fledged male and female began to reach out to her as well..
“If I were alone, I would definitely have died. I survived purely thanks to the escort given by Hybrid. I guess I should say thank you again..”
Sussssuk—
And as soon as she finished speaking, a small shadow came in from outside the building and bowed down in front of Heinz..
“Welcome, High Lord! I was late because I had to clean up the tails around me.!”
A boy with white hair and red eyes.
It was Obor Brokoslak, a true-blooded vampire who was assigned as an escort to Vice President Kayla..
“Okay, so the progress is?”
“All work was completed smoothly. The deployment of blood gates at each key point has been completed, and all mobilized combatants are fully prepared..”
This was followed by a report on this incident..
Current situation, enemy movements, and future plans.
‘···what?’
However, in the meantime, Kayla, who was there, frowned at the sudden sense of discomfort she felt..
···The conversation itself between the warlords was not a big problem..
It seemed like something else was causing it, but it was just a subtle irritant and I couldn't figure out exactly what was causing it..
‘It's just my mood···.’
Feeling so uncomfortable, she instinctively turned her head to the surroundings.—.
My eyes met something vague and hidden in the dark, and I froze on the spot..
Inside the shabby house she entered to escape from pursuit..
As night approached, black figures were standing silently throughout the darkness that had spread throughout the building..
‘Suddenly?!’
Even that number was not just one or two..
I can't understand why I didn't notice until now..
Not only that, even at this very moment when the war god was talking, the figures in the darkness continued to increase one by one every time I looked away for a moment..
Walls, windows, stairs, railings... even the ceiling.
And when the shadows that had increased like that had passed the dozens and were approaching a hundred,.
“good night.”
A voice with a strange power that forcibly grabbed the attention of those around her, her eyes turned to Heinz again..
“Well, we're finally ready.···.”
A sharp smile like a young cut on the usual cold face.
“To unify all the vampires in this world—.”
Sussssuk—
Sasak—!
The sound of countless pieces of cloth fluttering at once resonates..
At the same time, as many as a hundred shadows fell down in unison and paid homage to their great monarch..
“—start a war.”
The war between vampires has begun.
