My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 243

#243

Vampire Rise (3)

Immediately after retrieving all the power stolen from Obaipo..

“ha—.”

Heinz let out a breath filled with cloudy vapor and slowly closed and closed his hands repeatedly..

The sense of sharpness sharper than ever and the indescribable power felt throughout my body gave me a sense of elation..

《An object grows by achieving conditions. The special skill “Blood Clan (Holy Blood)” evolves into “Blood Clan”..》

《The special skill “Blood Run” absorbs the lower ability “Super Regeneration” and becomes even stronger..》

And it wasn't just a matter of mood.

As the twelve blood vessels that had split into many became one again through Heinz's body, the basis of his existence evolved closer to perfection..

‘I haven't completely overcome the wall of Precious Blood yet..’

This probably means that it is not enough to unify just one level of faction to become a level beyond the Holy Blood, which is the peak of vampires, tentatively known as Divine Blood..

He wasn't sure if there really was such a stage, but he was able to somehow instinctively intuit it as he reached a higher level..

The limit of what he can reach is by no means the end here, there is still more to come..

‘It seems like my abilities have become twice as strong as before..’

「As “Blood Race” is the completion stage of the “Blood Clan” series, which was the basic skill of vampires, its abilities and efficiency were incomparable to before..

Above all, the regenerative power, which was already strong, has become even stronger, and now the body has become almost immortal, surviving even if the whole body turns to ashes as long as there is energy left..

‘At this level... it's safe to say that we've really caught up to Hans' chin.?’

First of all, the destructive power that a single entity could exert against a living being seemed to be similar..

If the two were to face each other, Hans would have an absolute advantage in terms of race compatibility, and if it were a power battle, which could be said to be the immortal king's true power, he would not be an opponent, so it was not enough to match..

‘Well, anyway, it's good to become stronger. Because that's what I wanted. Rather, for now···.’

There were still many things to check and problems to deal with, but the first thing to do was decided..

Now he has to quickly take care of the Obaipo clan that is in his hands and put an end to the situation that occurred in the Republic..

‘It's all mine now. I can't let it get any more ruined than this..’

Heinz quietly closed his eyes and spread his will throughout the city..

As soon as the order from Vampire King Heinz II, the undisputed lord of all vampires on the continent was given, the loud commotion suddenly began to subside as if it had never happened before..

Dramatic peace arrived before further damage occurred.

Also it is.

It was also the moment when even the final arrangement of the oath of reverse heaven, which had been planted in the eastern part of the Aeon continent, collapsed..

***

An office located in downtown Seoul.

A beautiful woman with long hair tied in a ponytail was sitting in front of a computer, lowering the mouse wheel, and talking on a speakerphone..

“···okay. So you're saying there's nothing special about it other than the report??”

-hmm···. Is that so? I searched even harder again. Listen to the vice president. however···.

“It is okay to speak in English. Mr. Andrew.”

-oh! thank you I'm learning hard, but Korean isn't easy. Now I can listen and read to a certain extent, but speaking and writing are not very good.···.

“You will feel it very quickly compared to the period of time you learned it. It's probably because you're smart and have invested a lot in mental and intelligence status. Of course, you will have to continue studying in the future. That's our road... no, it's the boss's name..”

Heterosis' second-in-command, Jin So-ran, spoke with his mouth while quickly scanning the report on the monitor with his eyes..

After looking again, there was nothing special..

-Ha, is that so... Oh, come to think of it, I still haven't met the boss even once. You seem to be a very busy person.?

“Well, that's right. Andrew, you came here on the recommendation of an acquaintance of his boss, right? Thanks to you, we are grateful that we have been able to work with someone as talented and sincere as Andrew..

-Oh, is that so? Ha ha ha ha ha···.

In response to her praise, the person on the other end of the phone, Andrew Weaver, who had been forced by the Immortal King to come to Korea and join Heterosis, let out an awkward laugh..

Because he didn't work faithfully because he wanted to..

Of course, lately, I have been somewhat satisfied with my current life..

Due to some kind of restriction, I had no choice but to work hard within the given time, and I didn't have much free time due to language training in not only Korean but also Japanese and Chinese.···.

‘Compared to the time I was abused by Olivia in the Immortal Castle, this place is like paradise.!’

There's also coke, pizza, and TV to watch, and if you have time, you can even play games..

An environment on a completely different level from when you were struggling in a space filled with only crazy people and the undead..

‘Living like this isn't that bad. There is no dark magic that drives people crazy, and the rewards are generous..’

In the first place, the reality of not having time to spend money had no longer entered his mind..

In this way, he was becoming a voluntary slave with a great mindset, satisfied with the current situation while still working in an environment that was no different from a black company..

“Anyway, thank you, Andrew. Then, please continue to check and contact us at any time if any additional abnormalities are found..”

-Okay, Vice President..

pop.

The office is quiet again after the phone is disconnected..

After massaging his eyebrows for a moment, Jin So-ran sank into the chair and let out a deep sigh..

“Phew—I feel uncomfortable. First of all, I don't think there is a big problem..”

Actually, she wasn't feeling that bad until this morning..

To be precise, just a few hours ago, until she was contacted by her boss, Aria, the head of the moderate faction, and received a warning..

‘There's no way Aria is saying something for nothing..’

Jin Shao-ran, who was once a member of the moderate faction, could never easily accept her words..

No matter what anyone says, she is an amazing person who kept the powerful hardliners in check for a long time with a weak moderate faction just by her own ability..

‘It's probably a future prediction ability..’

In fact, when I was under her command, I thought she had a separate source of information that I was unaware of, but now that I was in a position to control a huge organization called the clan, I knew it well..

At least the current warning is not information obtained through such connections..

‘If you contact me separately, it must mean that something big is happening to me or Heterosis. Or is it somewhere in the clan??’

That was why she hurriedly sent an emergency request to Andrew..

As much as I knew his ability to gather information, there was no one better suited to quickly look into something related..

‘I guess I'll have to buy some for now. Just in case, I may need to move my office as well. Where should I move it?···.’

After finishing his thoughts, Jin So-ran got up, opened the office door, and went out..

“No, so this is where you can do whatever you want.···!”

“Hey, it only takes a moment.···.”

However, when she crossed the office's soundproof barrier installed for information security, her sensitive hearing detected a commotion coming from outside the office..

And one of them was a familiar voice to her..

‘what?’

With a puzzled mind, she walked to the entrance of the office and opened the door, and when she saw the back of her head, a familiar girl who looked like she was only in middle school came into view..

With a boy whose face she had never seen before,.

“Is it me? What's happen?”

“ah! Uh... no, Vice President!”

The girl, Lee Na-hee, looked back and welcomed her..

A kid who was once part of the same crew of moderates..

She was a confident girl who was currently learning to be an office assistant at Heterosis like her..

“ah! hello? Are you in charge here??”

At that time, a boy of the same age who was arguing with Lee Na-hee at the entrance to the office smiled brightly and spoke to her..

“Well, first of all, I'm the tallest here..”

“aha!”

When she suddenly answered, the boy's expression brightened even more..

At that moment, Lee Na-hee, frowning, stepped in between them and raised her voice again..

“sister! Don't deal with it! This is my first time seeing him, and he’s strange. From earlier, he had been recklessly asking me to let him in, and again.···.”

“You are all vampires, right??”

However, she had no choice but to stop speaking when the boy cut her off directly..

On the contrary, the boy is still smiling brightly..

Even in that situation, Jin So-ran, who still looked calm, naturally blocked the way of Lee Na-hee, whose face was stiff as she could not control her expression, and let out a deep sigh..

“Hey, I don't know where you heard this, but this isn't the place for you to mess around? Won't you play a prank on his friends??”

She ignored the boy's words and calmly advised him like an adult..

“ah! I understand what you're worried about, but don't worry. I'm not trying to do anything with it.···.”

“I'm worried. Could you please go to sleep and leave before I call the police? The employees can't do their work because you're making noise..”

“That's not it, I'm a vampire too, right? So, I was happy to find out that there were people of the same race, so I came to see them. Please accept me as a colleague too.!”

At those words, Jin So-ran looked at the boy with narrowed eyes..

A face that still smiles like the first time.

But he didn't feel any blood magic or even any smell of blood..

‘It's a lie.’

Originally, she was at level 6, but after joining Heterosis, she accepted Heinz's “Refined Blood Essence” and has now reached level 7..

In terms of Outerica, it was Jinhyeol, and even by the standards of how strong the hardliners were, it was on the same level as Beta, of which there were only two..

But there's no way she wouldn't recognize the other person's identity, right??

And decisively.

It was a bit surprising that this boy, who was Lee Na-hee's age, seemed to be in the second year of middle school..

“Ha, are you a friend? Is your sister putting up with a lot right now? Won't you go when I say something nice? Even if it's like this, I'm a scary person when I'm angry.?”

But she gently comforted him with as much patience as she could..

Even though they are disguising themselves as a normal company to the point where no problems arise, it is still very annoying that this place is noticed by the police, who are a symbol of public power..

Plus, I didn't want the boy to say something unnecessary to the police..

“Oh, you don't believe me. It's real? Do you see this? Those fangs stick out sharply.?”

“It's a bitch. All you have to do is go to the dentist and get braces..”

Jin So-ran answered coolly to the boy who put his finger in his mouth and showed his teeth..

“I hate garlic!”

“It was like that at your age. Still, I can’t use it if I’m a picky eater..”

“I don't go in unless the landlord invites me.!”

“good job. If you go in without permission, it's a home invasion..”

The boy repeatedly tried to prove that he was a vampire, but she just responded indifferently with her arms crossed..

“Even the flowing river will not be crossed carelessly.!”

“Yes, it's dangerous, so be careful from now on..”

“My body temperature is lower than other people!”

“You seem to have a cold constitution. Dress warmly.”

“I am weak to sunlight.!”

“UV protection is important. Still, you have to be exposed to sunlight to get vitamin D..”

Now, the boy continues to talk non-stop as if he has a temper, and Jin So-ran does not give up and responds..

Lee Na-hee, who had already taken a step back from the fight between the two proud people, was just staring with her mouth open..

“I have a reaction to silver.!”

“Are you allergic to metal??”

“If you drive a stake through the heart, you die.!”

“so do i. It's like that for everyone..”

“······.”

“······.”

The boy finally stopped speaking as if he had run out of repertoire and looked up at Jin So-ran, who stood confidently in front of him..

Then he sighed lightly and shook his head..

“Ah, this doesn't work..”

“Are you done? Then won't you go now??”

In response, Jin So-ran responded sullenly as if he was tired..

But this time, the boy didn't care. He looked at her again with a smiling face and opened his mouth..

“Actually it's a lie.”

“I knew it.”

Jin So-ran responded briefly,—.

“Even if you drive a stake through my heart, I won't die..”

The boy's words had a slightly different meaning..

And at the same time, the face that had been smiling innocently became strangely distorted..

“···What are you?”

A clearly different atmosphere than before..

Seeing as if the person had changed in an instant, she slowly stepped back, protecting Lee Na-hee..

“oh! I haven't introduced you yet, right? Example like this!”

He was speaking brightly, but even at first glance, his appearance was not normal..

Aside from the exaggerated appearance of going crazy somewhere, even his appearance began to distort to the point of repulsion..

“Well, I don't even want to use my real name because it's been a long time since I threw it away..”

Three pupils were differentiated in the right eye, and four pupils were differentiated in the left eye, moving the eyeballs around as they pleased..

Multiple overlapping voices rang strangely and created noise..

“Just call me Alpha.”

“···Alpha?”

Skin that has started to crack like spider webs.

Then, a strong scent of blood emanated from his body..

So dark that I can't understand why I didn't notice it until now..

“Oh! so···.”

His mouth was torn open all the way to the bottom of his ear, revealing shark-like teeth..

A forked tongue crept out from inside..

“Where is this guy named Heinz??”

This happened while Heinz was in the midst of resolving the Zefia Republic incident..
