My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 302
As there are various levels, there are also different names for those who have reached the state of transcendence in various places..
Hyeongyeong, Grand Master, Precursor, Overlord, Grand Magia, Immortal, etc..
Although there were some differences in the details, they all had something in common: beings who had overcome certain limitations and reestablished their status..
Whether it's pioneering a new realm through long-term training, wielding special powers of a certain rank, or inheriting the karma of a lineage accumulated over a long period of time..
Those who achieved transcendence in their own way reigned supreme in every world, and Earth, the intersection of countless dimensions, was no exception..
‘Since ancient times, overwhelming power is the same as power..’
But of course, there were bound to be differences in level even among those who had overcome the wall..
Just as doing the whole class in high school puts you last in a prestigious university, isn't there a law of hierarchy everywhere??
‘And the awakened people of Earth are generally inferior in many ways to the powerful people of other worlds..’
Since this was a power obtained relatively easily with the help of the system, it was inevitable that it was slightly lacking in proficiency and other factors..
To put it bluntly, it could also be said to be a mass-produced type..
‘Of course, my avatars also received help from the system..’
However, Harley, who continued to evolve and surpassed the limits of living things and even embraced 'madness', and Harris, who grew to a higher level by uniting with nature with the help of the World Tree and learning the martial arts of Kang Hwan-gye,···.
The power within was too great to be tied together in that way..
Just those two are enough to clean up all the remaining guys in this place..
Also, like those two, Heinz II was at the top of the realm of transcendence..
We were now facing another upheaval..
“Whoo— whoo—.”
I feel short of breath..
A thick mist of blood mixed with exhaled breath dispersed in the air..
He took a deep breath in front of the remains of the ‘peacock’ who was slowly turning into ashes and crumbling, trying to control the power boiling inside his body..
Of course, the duke, who was strong enough to compete with him, could not be taken under his command..
The best Heinz can do is steal all the blood..
Since he had no expectations from the beginning anyway, he did not hesitate to proceed with the work..
‘I guessed this···.’
And right after that.
He was unable to move due to the stronger reaction than expected and was struggling to gather his energy on the spot..
If Harley and Harris weren't in control of the situation, it probably would have been quite a difficult situation.?
‘If that was really the case, I would have had no choice but to cancel the summons... Ugh.!’
The blood flowing through my body wriggled as if it had become a separate life form..
“Blood Run”, which was his foundation, became violently activated and began to affect all skills related to it..
「Hybrid Evolution,” “Mystery of Blood,” “Purified Blood,” etc.···.
All skills branch out from each other and become more organically connected, complementing each other's shortcomings and growing further..
At that point, it was natural that physical changes followed..
Tap-duk-dud! Crackling!
After quite a long time,.
Finally, the fights that were going on elsewhere were slowly coming to an end..
《Collect new blood sucking factors. Due to the special skill “Hybrid Evolution,” the existence of the individual becomes more clear..》
《The karma possessed by the entity has reached a critical point..》
A few lines of the message he had been waiting for appeared before his eyes..
No, the notification window didn't just end there..
Soon, a few more lines began to appear below the first phrase that came to mind..
《All abilities of the object increase explosively.》
《An object grows by achieving conditions. The special skill “Bloodline Longing” evolves into “Return to the Source”..》
And after that.
At the same time, something inside Heinz expanded as if it was going to burst.—.
《The entity awakened and its species value was changed to ‘Vampire (New Blood)’.》
He was finally able to achieve what he wanted.

“Shut up···.”
“Wow, you're really trying to run away. If there wasn't a barrier, I would have almost missed it.?”
The groans of a dying person and the gruff voice of a man came out from the crevices of the trees that were tightly packed together..
Tdu-duk-duk!
Immediately after the bloody sound of something being crushed, a huge savage holding something in one hand sauntered through the bushes and appeared..
And the man, Harley, who had suddenly returned to his original form, looked around again, carefully taking care of the bodies of the victims, including the one in his hands..
‘But thanks to you, I was able to secure a lot of materials for Hans. And it's all top quality.’
In addition, it was a great harvest to be able to drastically reduce the power of the Buncheonhoe through this opportunity..
Who would have known that they would be trapped in the barrier they had set up, unable to move and being hunted?.
Isn’t this what we call retribution??
“Let's see, then now···.”
Harley scratched his chin, still wearing the demon mask pressed deep into his head..
In the past, as soon as the fight was over, I would have been constantly stuffing meat down my throat to replenish my energy, but now that I could consume madness instead, the hunger I felt right away was not that great..
They say that if you put your mind to it, you can keep fighting even now..
“···I guess I'll have to take care of it later..”
However, Harley, who specialized in all-out warfare involving destruction, was not of much help in other matters..
In the current situation, it was someone other than him who had useful abilities..
An area on the outskirts that is a bit far from the center where he is..
‘hmm.’
Harris, who was leaning on a tall tree, scanned the area again with his “Observer of the Milky Way” and slowly nodded..
‘It's over.’
He gently stroked the colorful spirits that appeared around him and then looked back at the barrier that still surrounded the entire forest..
‘After all, that’s not normal either. There was this kind of fight internally and it's still going on.···.’
Although it is now in a tattered state, almost on the verge of breaking due to accumulated fatigue, it is truly amazing that it still maintains its function despite the aftermath..
Moreover, isn't that a special product with an incredibly short activation time??
‘···Is this really the work of a doctor? Then, we are now observing the inside through that.···.’
Harris, with a drowsy expression, tilted his head slightly to the side..
As the fight continued and the barrier shook in the aftermath, he could see that an unknown person was looking inside through it..
I was planning to come out soon anyway, so I didn't mind if my identity was revealed, but I was very concerned because I felt like I was being observed one-sidedly by someone..
‘···Wait, but looking at the current state of the barrier, I think I could secretly take out at least one spirit..’
Since it was prepared assuming a transcendent person, even that would have been difficult if the barrier had been operated normally..
But things were different now.
It was easier because the spirit was a spirit without substance..
‘It worked out just fine. If you use it well,···.’
Whoa whoa—
A gently swirling wind.
Harris carefully used his energy to send the wind spirit Pascal out of the barrier..
There was a moment when the barrier tried to react for a moment, but he was able to apply the harmony of 'Muyu Bagua Bigong (改)' and eventually succeeded in secretly taking all the spirits out..
‘Now—please, Pascal. Scour the city to find suspicious locations. Among them, there must be a place connected to this barrier..’
The reason they came to Europe on purpose was entirely due to Heinz's growth..
And that goal has just been completely achieved..
But at that moment, a being named Doctor came into the target.···.
‘If you're Pascal, a top-level spirit, it won't take long to clean up a city..’
Soon, a ray of cool wind blew in the direction of Bucharest, the capital of Romania, where Heinz had originally intended to go..
***
A hologram video that continues to play on one wall.
From the beginning of the fight in the forest until it reached its end, the Doctor, who had used the "Eye of Truth", stared at it without even blinking..
Of course, since he was not an ordinary person, his eyes were not seriously damaged, but his bloodshot and bright red eyes were enough to remind me of a scene from a horror movie..
“···You can control that size freely? What happens to muscle density? The basic weight also seems to be considerable... Are you controlling the energy around you by moving it? Considering the amount of energy flowing and the extent of the digging in the ground, it would easily exceed 1 ton. Then the built-in structure is replaced···.”
Huh-huh-huh—
Moreover, the sight of him breathing heavily and muttering like crazy made his grotesqueness stand out even more..
Anyone could see that he was a dangerous criminal himself, as he persistently dug into and analyzed a person with his glowing eyes like a madman..
Of course, he was actually a criminal..
“···huh? What, is it over already? Elsewhere too... Tsk, how can it be so pathetic?!”
To him, the war situation that ultimately led to the defeat of the Beoncheonhoe was nothing more or less than a cause for complaint..
He no longer cared about the safety of the European branch..
It's just a pity that I can't continue observing the test subject..
“I guess I was wrong about the Duke! Still, I thought he was a somewhat useful friend! Being treated in vain like this... huh? What about that? Hoo···.”
While watching the video, he was preoccupied with Harley's body. When he looked at the situation elsewhere, the first thing he saw was.
It was Heinz who had just taken over the duke and was facing great changes..
“That is···.”
The appearance of a phantom engulfed in red and dark blood magic on a gigantic scale..
A flash of light flashed again in the eyes of the doctor, who was in the midst of being furious..
This is the situation right after a vampire preyed on its own kind.!
Aren't both predators and prey monsters that were evaluated as the edge of level 9??
This was truly a scene that could never be seen again..
“Oh... oh oh?!”
It was truly unusual..
An enormous amount of blood magic of a purity never seen before was writhing and flowing roughly around one vampire..
However, what is really disappointing is that···.
“Ahhh-! no! Not enough! It's not enough! I should have been there! If only I could have seen that in person!!”
The reason was that the energy was so dense that changes in the body could not be observed..
Of course, no matter how effective this video magic tool was, it was bound to have some limitations..
But even if you face it directly, there is no way you can observe a mystery at a level like this, whether you can see through it or not.?
“Argh! I can't believe I missed this opportunity like this.!”
He was pounding his chest in frustration and letting out a loud roar..
Of course, in the meantime, my eyes did not take my eyes off the screen..
“There are two such desirable test subjects...! You mean you can't get your hands on that? Because that stupid duke gets things wrong, nothing happens! You're like a useless piece of trash! It would have been better to just bleed out all the blood.—!”
After fussing like that for a while, his thoughts suddenly went somewhere else..
Both of the previously observed creatures were very interesting..
So what about the other one??
He immediately checked another place inside the barrier just in case.···.
“oh? Oooh!”
「Through “The Eyes of Truth,” he discovered a being who had assimilated into nature as if he were one with it, and once again let out an exclamation of admiration..
“That... is real! I couldn't believe it, but it was real! There really is an otherworldly being on Earth!”
His eyes that pierced the truth were telling..
That thing is a being that comes from another dimension, with no transformation ability involved, and the very foundation of its existence..
The other person's level was high and I couldn't understand the details, but that was enough for now..
“The fairy people I had only heard about! I was so sad that it wasn't there in the world I was in, but I never thought it would show up like this! What kind of gift from heaven is this?!”
The doctor lets out an exclamation of emotion..
However, after being so enraged, he soon realized that he couldn't get them right now, so he stared blankly at the screen again, like a child who had been robbed of a precious gift..
Three treasures he really wanted appeared at once, but he couldn't have them. There was no tragedy like this for him..
His emotions fluctuated up and down, and eventually he squeezed his heart out in bitterness and resentment..
“Shut up!”
A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and fell to the floor..
Obsession and possessiveness flashed fiercely in his eyes as he chewed his lips..
When the doctor was so preoccupied with the screen that he couldn't come to his senses..
The corner of Harris's mouth, a being on the screen, rose slightly, almost as if he could not see it..
‘found.’
In fact, finding your destination wasn't as easy as you thought..
In Bucharest, the headquarters of the European branch of the Buncheonhoe, there were so many suspicious places, including places where barriers were placed..
However, after concentrating all his energy on just Pascal, Harris was finally able to find a place vaguely connected to this barrier..
If he was still looking at this place and the signal wasn't transmitted in real time, he probably wouldn't have found it so quickly..
‘Okay then···.’
From now on, speed is everything.
A newly awakened vampire.
It was the turn of Earth's only level 10 vampire..
