My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 241

#241

Vampire Rise (1)

I'm going to go to the middle of the day! Pajik—!

A spark more fierce than anything that has ever occurred.

In response to this unusual reaction, Heinz, who had been pushing his opponent all along, took a step back with a stern expression..

‘Somehow, I thought it was too easy..’

Until a little while ago, the fight with Obaipo was going easier than expected..

He and Heinz are of the same rank..

Even within that, if we were to divide the rankings, Obaipo, who had lived for a long time, had no choice but to be higher, but Heinz's overwhelming specifications were so overwhelming that even that difference could be easily ignored..

Putting aside the influence of other skills, the status of the species raised through “mixed-blood evolution” is so different that it would be embarrassing to place them in the same race category..

Even when comparing the Holy Blood, which can be said to be the pinnacle of vampires, there is a gap of more than twice that..

‘At this level, it would be strange to lose..’

Based on the superiority of such specifications, Heinz thoroughly pushed Obypo..

Thoughts and blood magic clashed incessantly, and at the same time, physical clashes occurred repeatedly..

If I had kept going like that, I would have been able to easily subdue him in no time.···.

Pajijit—! Kwaang—!

Sparks bounced from a much closer place than before, and the two sacred blood collided again, creating a strong shock wave that swept through the surrounding area..

His territory was being pushed out by the expanding ideology centered around Obaipo, and he was gradually being put on the defensive..

‘2Is it a phase?.’

It looks like he has no intention of giving up like this..

“Ugh— I, Obipo, will become the king of all vampires in this world...! I don't know why the original 'blood authority' doesn't work for you.···.”

The power that continues to rise even in moments of repeated collisions.

The old vampire wriggled his whole body and muttered lowly with a distorted face..

“No, wait... No way you···.”

While muttering to himself like that, he let out a sigh as if he realized something, and then glared at Heinz standing in front of him with narrowed eyes..

“···Yes, you are a traitor. I've definitely heard of it... It was said that this guy suddenly appeared and took over the control of the Brokoslak Clan in an instant and rose to the top.···.”

Another battle took place..

In the meantime, his momentum, which had skyrocketed, was already five times higher than before..

In the aftermath, the strained body was being destroyed little by little, but the increase in strength showed no signs of stopping, as if even that was not the end..

“That's right, that's right... I don't know how, but it seems like you've found a way to resist the blood vessels... Are you trying to usurp this throne with that ability this time?···?”

Obaipo muttering something incomprehensible as if possessed by something..

However, even Heinz, who was diligently protecting the realm of thought, suddenly realized one thing after hearing those words..

‘Ah, somehow I felt like something was tickling earlier..’

I was concentrating on the fight and the reaction was so weak that I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it might have been the excitement of the battle..

Now that I think about it, it seems like what was stirring inside him was influenced by what he was talking about, the ‘authority of blood’..

“Right. Is this energy all heat? Then, that's all the remaining veins. I never thought I could use the power of other blood vessels like this..”

“Hehehe... Have you noticed it now? Yes, I am the one who continues the original bloodline... The owner of ten of the twelve blood vessels is this Obaipo.···!”

Heinz's body was thrown backwards with the tremendous force that continued to expand from his body..

Those forces that originally could not have been contained were forcibly brought up, further raising the status of Obaipo..

“···How is that possible? If you force yourself to use other blood vessels, especially the essence blood left behind by the sacred blood, it will not end up as mere mental contamination..”

Heinz, who had barely recovered his thrown body, frowned and opened his mouth..

Of course, since he himself was immune to mental contamination, he had already ordered his subordinates to search..

Even though quite some time has passed, I still haven't found a single one..

‘Was it because this guy had already recovered everything?.’

Somehow, even though they absorbed all the remnants of other clans, no one knew about their whereabouts..

It seemed like he was thoroughly committed to murder..

Pajijit—! Wow!

And while we're talking like that.

「Even though he evaded the use of “Denial of Existence,” Heinz received quite a significant hit..

The wound on his thigh, which was on the verge of amputation, regenerated in the blink of an eye, but this was not a good sign as his momentum continued to increase..

“Ah... it seems like things are finally going well now...! How is this possible? Isn’t that natural...? Because this body is the king who will stand above all vampires.···!”

Heinz's expression slightly frowned at that self-praise, but then came back again..

The guy didn't seem to have any intention of giving a proper answer, but he had some idea..

‘The ability I gained when I sucked blood from a vampire of the Obaipo clan was “harmonization.” Seeing as it was absorbed into “Hybrid Evolution,” is it a similar lower-level ability? I guess it's a vision that was roughly designed in conjunction with that..’

It wasn't the level of blood system ability called in other dimensions, but each blood system had some sort of specialty..

The Brokoslak Clan, which swallowed up a country with its 'blood pattern' that only the Eupersch Clan could use and its unique mental ability, was also part of this..

Pajik—! Kwaaang!

This time the blow was quite big..

The entire area around the shoulder, including the collarbone, was blown off and repaired in an instant..

As expected, there was a need to hurry and do something..

“You are a traitor... You, who went against the will of the original stream, are not worthy of being my subjects, so I will kill you right here.···.”

Obaipo licks the blood from his hand while smiling confidently at his obvious superiority..

I had no intention of becoming a subject in the first place, but I was just excited..

Rather, now that···.

“Big! Wow—!”

Grumble—suddenly!

His face turned pale in an instant and he immediately vomited out a bunch of blood..

At the same time, the realm of thoughts that had been pushed so roughly faltered and began to shrink again in an instant..

‘Ah, as expected. Is that a habit of vampires? Well, it's the easiest and fastest way to understand the other person..’

I've already experienced it a few times, but his blood that wasn't filtered through "purified blood essence" was deadly poison to vampires... no, it was no different from radioactivity..

However, I ended up drinking it while I was overworking myself by trying to force other things..

“Phew— Ugh! What on earth is this...! What on earth are you...! Broccoli Slag? Eupersch? No, no... A power that deviates from its source this much?···?”

Now blood has started flowing not only from the mouth but also from the nose..

“Ah, this is why... the reason why the authority of blood vessels did not work...! How much unclean blood is this? This is a heresy beyond a traitor.···!”

“That's too harsh. It just has a bit of a strong personality. My roots are still here.”

As you said.

Heinz's basis as a vampire was the Brokoslag bloodline, and the reason he became a holy blood was by stealing the blood of Eupersch..

Of course, it had to be the most important among the parts that made up him..

If I were to be specific, about 40 percent.?

Of course, most of it has mutated due to various factors, so not much of the original state remains..

‘Is that about... 5 percent??’

Looking at my body's reaction to that guy, maybe it's less than that..

‘Rather, it is the origin..’

A great one that unites the blood vessels of the first birth..

That was the origin that Obaipo was talking about..

An imaginary bloodline that forms the basis of the ‘vampire’ race before it split into twelve..

It was a fantasy-like story that if you complete it and make it one, you will not only become the king who rules over all vampires, but you will also gain power that can surpass even the immortal king..

‘under!’

however.

From Heinz's point of view, it had to be just a joke..

That's right too···.

‘In fact, it is the beginning and source of all blood vessels in Outerica, but on a dimensional scale, it is at most a branch of countless vampire sects..’

A race that uses the vampire factor as the basis of its power to become stronger by stealing the blood of others, has a strict class system, and increases its power through infection..

Although such vampires were treated as contagious diseases or germs in many worlds, they were also a species found quite commonly in many dimensions, just like humans, elves, and dragons..

‘I don't know if there is a separate network of divine beings who exchange information between dimensions..’

And perhaps because of their unique ecological structure, they had particularly extreme changes across dimensions among other races..

As if a real virus had adapted to the environment and mutated..

“They say he calls himself a king. Is it just that I can't bear it??”

“Wow, you guy···!”

Heinz raised his head and made a laugh out of his laughter, looking down on him as he struggled to get his body together and mocking him..

If the original source he is talking about is the original form of the vampire, combining several branches into one and taking all of their strengths, then.

And if you call the person who owns it ‘king’.

What should we call him who has absorbed all the strengths of not just Outerica, but numerous vampire factions from all dimensions??

He, Heinz II, is a being who has already surpassed the origin and evolved closest to perfection.?

In this case, the words that can describe him are···.

“Phew—yes, then I should be called emperor..”

That was all there was to it..

A word spoken like a joke.

But more than anything else, it was also a modifier that was infinitely close to the truth..

“bullshit···!”

Of course, to Obaipo, it was just seen as a mockery of himself..

And after he had been trying to control his body shaking with anger for a while, he suddenly stopped..

“Hehehe... Ah, yes... he is the emperor.···?”

Soon he started laughing evilly..

“Did you say hybrid...? It seems like quite a few of your men are in this city now.···.”

The elite who first set off with Heinz was only about a hundred, but if you include the additional troops who came through the blood gate, the number has increased several times..

They were still buying time by disrupting the Obaipo Clan and the Republic's defense forces..

“Let's take a look at the emperor's authority.···!”

Right after saying that.

Obaipo immediately raised his head and let out a roar with a strange sound towards the sky..

[“Children of Hybrid, come here—! Come, kill your false king and welcome the true king.—!”]

A powerful wave of blood magic that only affects vampires swept through the entire city of Uletor in an instant..

If it is within range, it has absolute control that cannot be denied..

‘There's nothing we can do about that mutant heretic, but his subordinates will be different...! Try killing subordinates you trusted with your own hands.···!’

My stomach twisted again as I overexerted myself again, but considering the consequences, this wasn't a particularly big loss..

Obaipo, who gave such a confident shout, looked at Heinz with a meaningful smile.—.

Heinz also met his gaze with a sour attitude..

“······?”

the silence that follows.

And while a moment passes.

There wasn't a single hybrid vampire that came here..

There really isn't even one person.

‘why···?’

Obaipo's face was strangely distorted..

Having personally encountered that blood, I could understand that Heinz's control was not working..

But isn't the situation different for the vampires under his command??

‘My commands don't work even on those at that level.?’

At this point, I couldn't help but feel skeptical about whether I could really cover all the blood vessels as I had calculated..

The basis for achieving his ambitions and his faith were shaken to the core..

“why? Doesn't it work out as expected??”

Heinz's mockery rang in his ears, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it right now..

‘That can't be possible. That can't be possible···!’

How many years have you poured into this??

The journey to collect the legacies, as well as to study them until they can be put to practical use..

He is willing to experiment with his own body and has devoted himself to it for thousands of years..

But the result looks like this?

As I realized that the thousands of years of effort I had made had been meaningless, the small despair that had bloomed in my heart grew in size and spread like a toxin..

“Hehehehe···.”

Obaipo, with his head down, kept shaking his body and bursting into empty laughter..

Regardless of his mood, the power that was constantly surging within his body was endlessly lifting him up and protecting his distracted body.···.

‘meaningless.’

His body, which had otherwise been collapsing due to the excessive concentration of force, was now disintegrating to a degree that was visible at a glance due to the toxicity contained in Heinz's blood and his repeated unreasonable actions..

In order to survive, he had to bring down this power and stabilize himself even now, but if he did that, he wouldn't have any chance of winning..

Obaipo's vain gaze, which had been quietly looking at his crumbling body, turned to Heinz again..

‘Heinz Hybrid II, monarch of the Kingdom of Thalia and ruler of the vampire clan alliance Hybrid..’

A bloodline that is a mixture of all kinds of unknown bloodlines..

A body of heretics who dared to reject the origins and seek change..

And, a body that embraces the ultimate perfection and highest class..

Unlike his body, which was continuously being broken by the torrent of strong force, it was truly the most suitable vessel to contain the original stream..

‘···Yeah, I admit it..’

The status of your body far surpasses mine..

You might be able to handle the power that is too much for my miserable body to contain..

If that happens, wouldn't it be possible to truly demonstrate the authority of the origin??

okay.

therefore—.

Give me that body!

grip support—!

The moment when sparks stronger than ever flickered fiercely.

Obaipo ignored his collapsing body and aggressively attacked Heinz..

There was nothing that could stop him from burning everything, ignoring the rest of his life..

‘I should be thankful to the revolutionaries..’

An unknown power that pushed his 'harmony power' to its limits, allowing the powers of different blood vessels to unite and manifest simultaneously..

Without that, I wouldn't have even dreamed of doing this..

From the moment it became unclear whether the 'ambition' that had allowed him to persevere for so many years despite the fear of losing his memories in real time had been achieved, there was nothing he could see..

Quack—!

Finally, Obaipo's hand grabbed Heinz's forehead..

In the process, his body was completely devastated by the successive attacks he allowed and was quickly falling apart, but he smiled brightly, not caring about his physical condition..

“Hehehe! Emperor, let's make a bet.···.”

Of course, there will be some adventures along the way..

He was definitely confident this time..

“The stake is everything we both have···.”

He is a person who has lived for ten thousand years and has continuously practiced asceticism..

Moreover, no matter how much memory has been erased, the remaining memories are over a thousand years old..

But there's no way you can lose to an opponent who has a special body and has probably lived for a few hundred years at most, right??

“The winner has everything the loser has... Even the body and soul!”

like that.

Obaipo borrowed an unknown power and confidently infiltrated Heinz's mental world..

[What is this...?]

Faced with a situation that was a little...no, much different from what I expected, I let out a helpless sound without realizing it..
