My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 244

Vampire Rise (4)
The situation in the Zephyr Republic was quickly calmed down..
Since both sides, which were the cause of the commotion in the first place, were all subordinated to one person, it was inevitable that this would happen naturally..
Of course, not all of those caught up in this situation followed his control, so there was still turmoil everywhere, but with the fundamental cause gone, it wouldn't last long..
Now there is no need to worry too much about this..
“As you instructed, the cleanup is progressing smoothly. I will finish the work as quickly as possible and gather the clan members under my command. ···High Road.”
“hmm."
Inside a luxuriously decorated office.
Heinz, who was sitting on a fancy chair, looked down at the woman with dark blue hair prostrate in front of him and nodded in satisfaction..
‘You're pretty obedient now..’
She was actually the second person who ran the Obaipo clan, ‘Shamila Obaipo’..
‘Like 'Mullo of Brokoslak' and 'Theodore of Eupersch', he was a true-blooded vampire in charge of the clan's affairs..
‘To fully absorb a force of this scale, cooperation from insiders, especially high-ranking officials, is essential..’
Isn't the Obaipo Clan a powerful group that is included in the top three among vampire forces?.
No matter how much he usurped the right to command, dealing with them fully was another matter..
That was the reason why Heinz, after the fight, immediately tracked down and captured her, who had the strongest energy..
Of course, she did not obey me obediently from the beginning.···.
What can she do when even the Precious Blood they served has already been defeated and the authority to command has been taken over??
In the end, after a lot of persuasion with a little bit of coercion, I realized the reality and had no choice but to obediently follow orders..
“Well then, this job is pretty much over..”
After she came to give an interim report and left to finish the work,.
Heinz, sitting in the mansion owned by the Obaipo clan, was lost in thought as he leisurely drank wine, as if to show off that he was the new owner of this place..
‘If I hadn't been there, many of the underworld on the continent, starting from the east, would have fallen into their hands..’
Obaipo's purpose was to become the king who rules over all vampires..
Even taking advantage of the chaos to devastate the eastern part of the country was only part of the process..
And when they, who were born children of darkness themselves, begin to act according to someone's malicious intent, what is the impact it will have on the continent?···.
If vampires, who outnumbered the lycanthropes who almost sank an entire continent, started to wreak havoc, it was impossible to guess what would have happened..
‘···Somehow, my very existence ended up being properly countered. Now that I think about it, it seems strange that there is nowhere I don't wear it..’
Of course, there were many incidents that occurred beyond his reach, such as the Abyssal Madness leak, the rampage of monsters, and the fall of the Principality of Rohan, but the problems he intervened and solved were much more than that..
In fact, it is inevitable that you will get involved in something big as you play in big water, but I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable..
‘Just because one thing is done, nothing else will happen.?’
For example, this time, something happened in Tarak, where Hubert's store and Howard's blacksmith shop are located..
‘···Well, I don't have a good feeling. Just in case, I need to be more careful. It's times like this that you'll get into trouble if you let your guard down..’
Since the two avatars did not have any significant combat ability, more careful management was needed to respond immediately when something happened..
Somehow, I felt like my intuition, which had become extremely sensitive, was warning me that it was not time to rest yet..
‘Still, I'm glad that the perk I got this time will help me quickly figure out such unexpected situations. “The power of the monarch”···.’
The privilege that Heinz II received when he became the Vampire King, “The Power of the Monarch.”」.
It was the power management system's ability to not only determine the location and approximate information of those belonging to it, but also issue simple commands remotely, just like a strategy simulation game..
He quietly closes his eyes.
A list of countless forces related to him filled my mind..
-army of immortals
-hybrid
-Hubert Trading Company
-Chalcos Tribal Confederation
-······
‘···There are a lot of them..’
A long list of factions.
After briefly checking each item, I was able to view various details related to the organization as well as general information about the people belonging to it..
Even in places where he could not be called a full-fledged 'monarch', such as the main church or the Elven Kingdom, the function was applied to a limited extent, so it was a very helpful ability for him, who had as many forces as the number of avatars..
‘hmm?’
And while he was roughly examining the abilities of “The Prince’s Power” with that in mind, he felt something disturbing in a corner of his consciousness..
And while digging into the cause, I was finally able to find the reason.···.
-Blood Pledge - Heterosis
His first faction was on Earth, not Outerica..
Among them, there was an unusual change in the status of the members..
‘···What is this again??’
└Name: Jin So-ran (Heterosis' acting leader))
└Race: Vampire
└Location: Daeran-dong, southern Seoul, South Korea [View detailed coordinates]
└Status: Critical (serious injury))
‘···It felt like something was going to happen, but it was on Earth and not here?.’
It was definitely not normal for a vampire, who was the highest ranking member of the clan that was holding Korea's night sky tight, and who could now be said to be of the Jinhyeol level, to be in such a dangerous state that he was seriously injured..
“Umm.”
Heinz, who was leisurely enjoying a glass of wine, drooled and put his glass down on the table..
It seems like today's work isn't finished yet..
***
The conversation we had right before Alpha revealed his identity..
-“I don't go in unless the landlord invites me.!”
-“good job. If you go in without permission, it's a home invasion..”
What he said then was true.
Immediately after the powerful blood magic that spread from him shook the surroundings..
When young Lee Na-hee stiffened from the overwhelming feeling of intimidation, Jin So-ran, who returned after experiencing hardships in another world, quickly took care of her and retreated..
And the moment they crossed the door of the office they had turned their backs to and entered the room, while they were taking a step back while feeling extremely nervous, this is what he said:—.
“uh! Did you go inside? ...Then it's difficult. Hey, why don't you invite me too??”
It was that innocent question..
‘Until then, I thought it might be possible..’
But that fleeting hope was dashed in an instant..
Naturally, because of his behavior when she did not respond to the request until the end,.
“Ugh, then there's nothing I can do.!”
Immediately after the refreshing nod that did not match the strange voice that seemed to be a mixture of metal and noise..
Alpha immediately, without hesitation even for a moment,.
The building where the offices were located—the entire building was blown down..
‘You can't enter it without permission, but it doesn't matter if you destroy it. What kind of self-centered standard is this?···!’
Ahhh—! Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah—!
The sound of people screaming along with the loud siren sound.
Jin So-ran's spirit, which had become distant for a while, slowly began to return..
Push-patter-patter.!
“Huh—huh, huh, huh.”
Jin So-ran, who barely managed to get his body out of the rubble of the collapsed building, was breathing heavily..
‘Ugh, how lost was I??’
Seeing as there wasn't that much of a change in the surrounding situation, fortunately, it seems like it was an extremely fleeting moment of about 1 second at most..
When I looked at the situation around me again, I realized that I was glad..
Starting with the building where Heterosis' office was located, several buildings in the area had already collapsed, and the streets were a mess with broken roads and crashed vehicles..
Casualties due to fire, electric shock, falling rocks, etc. are also at an unprecedented level..
It was a catastrophe that occurred only about 5 minutes after Alpha revealed his true face..
‘No matter how hard you try, all you can do is grab your attention for a moment... Alpha probably wasn't at that level, so what happened??’
I had heard rumors more than once that Alpha had just reached level 8 when he was in the clan, but the momentum he was showing now was far beyond that level..
If I were to go by level, I would say it's level 9..
Even Heinz, the Lord of Heterosis, knew that he was at least level 8, but now he's at level 9, which I've never heard of..
I felt dizzy due to the sudden situation..
‘No, the reason I'm dizzy is because of the damage I just received..’
Even her overwhelming regenerative power as a vampire could not be properly used against the energy of the opponent eating away at her body..
If the other person had really intended to kill him, he would have died long ago..
I felt like the confidence I had gained as I rose to level 7 thanks to the road shriveled like a deflated balloon in the face of an enemy I couldn't resist..
“he! So, where is that Heinz guy? If I don't say anything, I'll kill you? Oh, you can't kill me. That woman is the tallest, right? uh? Then what should I do??”
At that time, a strangely twisted voice rang out frivolously beyond the shambles of ruins..
Alpha muttering to himself as if he was out of his mind.
It was certainly words and actions that did not appear normal, just like their distorted appearance..
‘I think the rumor is that he has a serious personality like our Lord..’
Since I've never seen it in person, I couldn't tell if the rumor was wrong or if the author was a fake pretending to be Alpha..
Actually, that's not what's important right now..
“Phew! I don't know. Still, this means you can kill everyone except that woman, right? What about Heinz? Hey, I'm still hungry, but it's good! huh!”
Jin So-ran gritted his teeth at those crazy yet bloody words..
It's been a long time since all the blood from nearby victims was sucked out by the guy due to his overwhelming blood control..
And yet you were saying things like that.···.
‘Is there any chance of victory if the Lord comes...? No, where and what is Hahoe Mask doing at a time like this? Recently, I haven't even been active in Japan! If he's a real dark hero, isn't now the time for him to appear??’
Jin So-ran’s mind was confused..
Now that even the guardians who had been dispatched to the sudden situation had become sacrifices to the bastard without being able to do anything, they were at a loss as they could not think of a way to overcome the situation right away..
‘Ah, really! Showing up in situations like this is a hero! hero to work!’
And if possible, as soon as possible!
Rumble — rumble!
Did heaven grant her earnest wish?.
Heavy thunder continued to ring in the dark sky..
And finally it.
Flash—scream! Kwaang!
Embracing enormous supernatural energy, several rays of lightning became spears and struck the ground..
“That's that that's that—!”
Toward exactly where Alpha is.
pajik — pajik—
Soon, in the aftermath of the impact, the hero slowly appeared from the other side with sparks flying wildly..
“···Ha, why on a vacation day... And even though I rushed right past everything, it ended up looking like this in that short period of time.···!”
However, that being was not Hahoe Tal, whom Jin So-ran was anxiously waiting for, nor Lord Heinz, who he had hoped would not come, but a separate person..
‘ah! Now that I think about it... there was that person too..’
Recently, with the rapid rise of Hahoetal, its presence has faded somewhat, so I forgot about it for a while, but the opponent was not a great person to be ignored in the first place..
Pajik! Falling in love—!
A woman in her late twenties with a frowning face and golden thunderbolts all over her body..
They arrived in such a hurry that not only were their stylish going out clothes frayed and damaged, but their hair, which looked like it had been decorated to the fullest, was sticking out like a lion's mane due to the static electricity emitted from the body..
“Since I've been quiet these days, I must have looked quite funny. I don't think it's too much of a line to come in and behave so openly.?”
She is a Guardian who is always in the top three when considering the strongest in Korea..
A hero whose achievements are known not only through various other world-related media outlets but also through interviews with returnees..
He was the head of the Seoul Southern branch of the Returnees Association and the Thunder Emperor Yoon Ji-yoon..
“···you are behind.”
He was also in charge of this area..
***
「Immediately after detecting Jin Shao-ran's crisis with "The Power of the Monarch," it was not that difficult to find out what happened to her on Earth..
To be more precise, it was such a big event that I found out about it naturally..
-[[Terrorism Warning] Large-scale terrorism broke out in Daeran-dong, southern Seoul. Residents nearby should leave the area immediately.···.
Starting with a text notification that even reached me living outside of Seoul, breaking news began to slowly cover various media outlets..
Although it had only been a short time since the incident occurred, the news was only now spreading, but the scale of the damage had already grown to a level that could not be ignored..
‘Such destructive power in just a few minutes. It can be said that the opponent is of a superior level. Moreover, there is a very high possibility that he is a vampire. Then again···.’
And in that situation where every second was urgent, I accelerated my thinking, gathered information in an instant, and made a rational decision..
Sussssuk—
Heinz II, the Vampire King of Outerica, quietly rising from the shadows..
In any case, Hybrid, which absorbed the Obaipo clan, was scheduled to reorganize for the time being, so there was no major problem even if he was away for a while..
It was also basic to send an avatar that could be canceled at any time in case of an unexpected situation..
‘A transcendent level vampire from another dimension. You belong to me!’
I never had any other desires..
However, what Heinz faced when he arrived at the scene with such great urgency was.
“Loud! Heinz!”
Qarring—! Kwaang!
“No, do you see how he kept looking for someone else while putting the lady in front of him? As you can see, your manners are perfect.!”
It was a scene he had not expected..
