My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 301
In a battlefield where the air vibrates and the heat swirls.
“Hahahaha!”
Kwaaang!
A shock wave erupted again along with Harley's fierce roar..
Those who opposed him kept shouting and trying to somehow overcome the situation, but they had no time to do anything and the situation continued to worsen..
The only thing I could believe was that while this side held out as long as it could, additional support would come from somewhere else.···.
Kugugoogung Palace—
They had no choice but to give up such expectations due to the heavy drinking that continued on the outskirts of the forest from earlier..
No matter how you look at the aftermath of the firefight that took place over a wide area, unlike the fight in the center, it showed that the uninvited side had the upper hand..
And it was a situation that one person was aiming for from the beginning..
‘It's going smoothly.’
Actually, it had to be that way..
For that purpose, both Harley and Harris were called here..
Although the opponent's power was not easy, the power mobilized by this side was clearly superior..
‘No matter how similar the transcendence is, there are bound to be differences depending on the level..’
And it was the same for the last avatar on the scene, the vampire king Heinz II, who longed for blood perfection..
Skakak—Chaang!
A place a little far from the place where the fight between Harley and the Buncheonhoe gang took place..
There was a sharp crash sound and the surrounding vegetation was turned over by the aftermath..
“Ugh! dare···!”
The duke, who had struggled to block the space-tearing blow with a long bloody spear, gritted his teeth and burst out in rage..
As if I can't accept what's happening now..
However, Heinz, not paying attention to his opponent's reaction, simply continued his attack in silence and analyzed his opponent step by step..
‘I have a good feeling. After all, attacks using causality do not work well against high-level opponents..’
The first attack that pierced his flank was merely an attack that took advantage of surprise..
When the duke started to be on guard properly, it did not show much benefit and was constantly blocked..
‘Well, I didn't think I could finish it so easily from the beginning..’
Not much time has passed since the one-on-one battle with the Duke began again..
Harris and Harley are doing well, so there won't be any more interruptions..
Of course, it was possible that additional reinforcements might arrive after assessing the situation inside the barrier from the outside.···.
‘That much time is enough..’
Heinz, holding the two bloody greatswords that had suddenly appeared in both hands, lowered his body and took a step forward..
Sussssuk—
His presence disappeared for a moment and his body accelerated rapidly and crossed space..
And he moved behind the opponent and swung the great sword with both hands..
“It's impossible!”
A new spear suddenly appeared in the air behind the duke's back, blocking the attack, and he immediately counterattacked, swinging a weapon that was thicker than before..
As I felt in the first battle, it contained enormous destructive power..
Kwaang—!
‘also.’
Heinz narrowed his eyes as he felt the bloody sword he had created scatter into pieces due to the impact..
Even though it was a liquid weapon and had a bit of durability, it was made using purified blood tablets..
It doesn't make sense that the opponent's weapon was damaged in a single collision, and that the opponent's weapon was still intact..
‘It's the ability to intervene in the blood itself..’
It also seemed to be a unique skill that had been strengthened to a fairly high level..
I still don't know if it was originally an ability to freely manipulate blood, or if it was a way to use it as a medium to display special abilities, but for a vampire whose power is blood, it could be said to be a deceptive ability..
After all, that is probably the number one contribution that brought the duke to his current position..
hiss—
At that time, a bright red dot flew into Heinz's face..
The cutting edge of Geochang made with blood.
Fired in the blink of an eye, it pierced through space at once, ignoring distance..
Then, it followed Heinz, who was moving quickly and dodging, as if it had an ego, and thrust its head in irregularly like a snake..
Two, three, these things continued to increase, squeezing him from all directions..
‘It won't work.’
In the end, realizing that dodging was not the answer, he twisted his waist in the air and brought the bloody greatsword to his waist..
The diagonal lines of windows observed as “insight” in accelerating thoughts.).
Soon, when it all comes together in one line.
Wow——
He used “Sudden Acceleration” to make a large cut with his sword as if drawing a half moon..
Let’s go! Kwaaang—!
The weapons on both sides were shattered by the collision between the whip-like sword tips and spears that exceeded hypersonic speeds..
Heinz's expression was calm, since such things were just consumables that could be made at any time, but the duke's expression was becoming more and more hard as time went by..
“What kind of guy are you?···.”
an unknown sense of discomfort.
Immediately after the fight properly began, the strange sensation the duke felt was becoming increasingly stronger..
Along with the ominous intuition that no matter what I did, I would not be able to defeat my opponent, and in reality, the consumption of power increased more than usual and the effectiveness actually decreased..
Even though he was free in terms of energy thanks to his unique skills, this was never a good situation..
‘What kind of ability is it? Unique skill? Either that or···.’
It is not simply a reduction in power caused by abilities such as debuffs, but the action of a certain concept that occurs at a higher level than that..
It was a phenomenon that even he, who had already dealt with this power for decades, could not understand..
‘Dangerous.’
And it forced the duke to make the extreme choice of no longer holding back..
As his detection range was not normal, he was already fully aware of what was going on..
If I had been a fool who didn't feel the sight of our allies being decimated one by one by sudden intruders, I wouldn't have been alive until now..
But what happens to you after your allies are annihilated by them??
‘In fact, now is your last chance..’
Either get out of here straight away or rally the surviving allies again..
Everything depended on how quickly you could take out the enemy in front of you..
In fact, it was right to start worrying about whether he could really defeat his opponent, but he deliberately did not even think of such weak thoughts..
Because from long experience, that way of thinking is not helpful for survival..
Even if it becomes nothing more than a struggle.
‘Now that things are like this, I guess I'll have to give up trying to get things back to normal. Accept some loss.’
Acting regardless of means and methods carries a certain amount of risk..
The duke, who had pulled out dozens of bloody spears and bombarded the area, finally took action without hesitation when the right opportunity was found..
Gooooo—
In an instant, the blood flowing through his body surged and an enormous amount of energy was released..
Kwaaang—!
“Pfft?”
Heinz, who was thrown back despite his hasty defense against the sudden explosion of enormous blood magic, frowned as he regained his bearings..
“···This?”
“Wow—this is thrilling.—!”
Pap-duk-pap-duk!
A phenomenon that occurred with the sound of something being twisted.
The handsome middle-aged duke's face turned pale and his skin and bones suddenly became pale, and on the contrary, the suit he was wearing was torn to shreds due to his bulging muscles that threatened to explode..
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu—
Ooh, ooh, ooh—
The biggest change was the number of spears made of blood lined up around him..
Dozens of red thorns lined up majestically with their pointed tips pointing towards the sky..
The space around him was distorted by the explosive energy generated by the potential contained in his blood being released all at once, and the barrier surrounding the forest began to shake..
“···Something feels familiar..”
Heinz narrowed his eyes and glared at him in a situation that didn't seem normal at all..
Putting aside the phenomenon, I felt a strange sense of déjà vu from the energy coming from him..
I think I've experienced this once before.···.
“···ah! Right. As expected, you were involved during Alpha as well??”
And he soon realized the cause and unconsciously nodded in understanding..
The energy felt from him was strangely similar to the one that oozed from the body of Alpha, the leader of the hardliners of the clan who had caused an uproar in the center of Seoul a long time ago..
At the time, all I could understand was that he had become like that through some kind of research, but if the duke had been involved, it would definitely be understandable.···.
‘for a moment.’
At that time, Heinz stopped thinking and frowned unconsciously..
In his mind, the events that had occurred since Alpha's terror attack in Seoul and the information he had collected so far flashed like a panorama..
‘I see.’
And after a split second, he was able to feel certain about the situation..
‘···Doctor, doctor is here.’
I knew that the Doctor, one of the top executives of the Buncheon Association, was not far from this place..
That strong intuition rang an alarm in his mind..
‘Was it to catch me? Anyway this is an opportunity.’
Even though the memories of the ruler were obtained, the location of the doctor's residence was not clearly known..
We basically knew that he would stay in Europe, but even that wasn't set in stone because he had the ability to build the necessary research lab anywhere..
‘···If only I could capture you.’
Of course he knows more than the ruler or the duke..
Not only about the organization called Buncheonhoe... but also about the Buncheonhoe..
“I'll finish it quickly!”
As I was lost in thought for a moment, dozens of blood-red spears flew in at once, accompanied by a harsh shout..
At a noticeably faster speed than before.
As a result, a torrent of rough energy was generated, and space was twisted around along the attack trajectory..
“We agreed. I agree too..”
At first glance, it was an incredibly threatening attack, but to the current Heinz, it was nothing more than an inconvenient distraction..
‘Kill this guy as quickly as possible···.’
A new goal appeared when we were close to achieving the purpose of coming to Europe..
But for that to happen, it was necessary to clearly deal with the matter at hand first..
Heinz's thinking, which had gained momentum, accelerated and he once again looked at the world with "insight.".
‘The scale of energy is certainly unusual. Has the power in the blood been amplified once more? Anyway, it's only like this... Maybe the author also gained strength in his own world by preying on his own kind..’
Otherwise, it was an enormous amount of energy that would be difficult to explain..
It was not an impossible hypothesis as it was presumed that his unique skills were related to blood..
Compared to the risk of coming to Earth and preying on a completely different lineage of vampires, overcoming it is often the case when belonging to the same lineage..
‘but.’
In fact, if you look at it that way, you could say that you are the best in all areas..
No matter what anyone says, isn't he a person who has inherited all of Outerica's bloodlines, and has continued to prey on his own kind by collecting various vampire factors without stopping even after coming to Earth??
‘Phew, I'm not used to drawing this much power. Still, it wouldn't be a bad idea to get used to it..’
We have also completed understanding the variables of the opponent to some extent..
Now all that's left is to make a proper decision based on that information..
As time accelerated to its limit at the expense of overflowing energy, Heinz rode the flow of cause and effect and slowly took a step forward..
Jeopuk—
The blood magic that flowed from not only the heart but also the essence of the sacred blood implanted in the body spread to all limbs..
In a world that seemed to stand still, the burning gazes of Heinz and the Duke collided head-on..
second step.
I pulled out a bloody greatsword in both hands and struck down the red spear blade that came close to me..
Then, when the weapon breaks, it is remade and the process is repeated several times..
In the mist of blood scattering like fragments, I was able to realize that the advantage of ‘time’ was still on this side..
Third step.
It was a waste to just leave the thick blood mist that formed in the process of cutting out the window..
In response, Heinz used the “mystery of blood” to create multiple blood swords that moved automatically in the air..
They soon collided with the spears like fighter jets competing for air supremacy, repeating destruction and regeneration again..
The relative exchange rate wasn't that good, but since it was just a bonus anyway, it wasn't a bad result to buy some time..
fourth step.
I have completely entered the duke's territory..
At this point, even the “existence denial” I used from time to time was of no use..
The fluctuating energy gave me the feeling that the entire space was against me, but this was all I had already worked hard for anyway..
Heinz moved forward without hesitation, weapons drawn in both hands..
fifth step.
As we got deeper into the opponent's territory, the 'time' where our side had the upper hand gradually regained its balance..
Of course, moving forward continued to become more difficult, and the scars on my body continued to increase..
Of course, it wasn't that long ago that everything was replayed, so it didn't really mean anything..
Jeopuk—
and finally.
“Yes, you...! how···!”
“I waited long.”
Heinz took the last step and smiled softly as he faced his skeletal and unsightly distorted face..
As if we were facing our lost half.
‘Well, that's actually not wrong..’
Because we were about to become one anyway..
He naturally stretched out his hand and grabbed the other person's leash..
It was the moment when the hands of Heinz II, who longed for the completion of blood, finally grabbed the last piece..
