My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 339

After the first meeting between Horus, the hatchling from Outerica, and the dragons, the home of the Kangwhan world, ended smoothly..

Horus received intensive training in the arts of this world directly from the two dragons, along with their caring care..

The Blue Dragon and the Red Dragon said that it would be enough for them to just protect their positions as yellow dragons during the ceremony, but the person involved was not convinced by that and made a strong request..

Even if you only participated as a symbolic mascot, there was bound to be a big difference in knowing and not knowing how things were going..

Since he is also the one who presides over the ceremony, wouldn't it be good for both of us to have at least an understanding of basic techniques?!

···The two dragons were delighted with Horus's claims and promised to provide no support whatsoever for his education..

Of course, Horus's true intentions are hidden there.—.

‘Since we've come this far, we should take everything we can get. ...If we keep doing that, we might be able to find a way to save the dragon children..’

I just wanted to somehow take advantage of the current situation..

Originally, it was fundamental to delve into the basics first before solving the problem at hand..

In order to solve the difficult problems posed by this world, it was necessary to clearly understand its mysteries..

‘In the world, the Mosan faction is known as a renowned master of magic, but it is said that most of the magic they use is derived from Geumgodo..’

And the people at the top of that direction in Jingo Island were none other than dragons, divine beasts revered as legends even in this world..

A symbol of magical power that freely deals with natural disasters, including good winds and rain..

But there was no way he would just give up this great opportunity to experience the essence of Kang Hwan-gye's techniques through them.?

And the learning ability that Horus showed when facing such a new mystery was.

It was literally a shock to the Red Dragon and Blue Dragon, who still thought of him as a young and cute dragon from another world..

“Oh my...what on earth is that guy? Could it be that he was pretentious even though he already knew everything? Otherwise, this speed makes no sense..”

“···Now I understand how he was able to reach that level at that age. It's at a level that you can't even call it a mere talent. Like breathing, I understand mysteries and absorb them in my own way..”

“under! If the old folks who were talking about me being a traitor for a thousand years found out, they would be foaming at the mouth and collapse. Was time really this fleeting?.”

“Umm.”

The tiny young dragon absorbed everything they taught him with truly terrifying force..

To the point where I wonder if this is really my first time encountering a technique..

But if you think about it, it wasn't that strange..

“Ruler of all things,” which supports the affinity of energy and attributes」.

“Explorer of Mystery,” which grants aptitude for all mystical sciences」.

“Resister of Providence” that ignores the restrictions arising from the differences between dragons」.

And to the point that he has already mastered “Dragon Magic,” which can be said to be the pinnacle of magic, to a high level..

Horus was gifted with extraordinary skills from birth, and was literally a golden spoon with perfect bloodline from birth..

Even now, isn't there a lot of growth compensation added to the 『Elixir of Growth』??

‘「Needless to say, indirect help from other avatars such as “Unholy Sage” and “Way of Magic”.’

The result of everything coming together was the current Horus..

When you see one, you know ten, when you know ten you realize a hundred, and when you realize a hundred you master a thousand. This is the crystal of absurdity..

《The entity has attained enlightenment through knowledge. Acquire the skill “Tenryu Taoist Jutsu”.》

Once he started to really focus on one thing, it didn't take long for it to come to fruition..

“···I never thought it would already be at this level. What do you think, Blue Dragon??”

“It's definitely more than I expected. You can move straight to the next step without wasting time..”

“I agree. If it's like me... it wouldn't be such a waste to give it away..”

“Yeah, it's necessary anyway..”

Such rapid growth was enough to earn the admiration and recognition of the two women who actively taught him..

When his next class started, they gave him a very special gift..

A precious item that I never expected to see like this..

“Ugh? This, no way···!”

“Uhuhu, Horus’ surprised expression is cute too..”

“It's something refreshing to see a change in position after surprising us every time. not bad.”

A circular sphere that shines blue as if it contains the sunny sky..

Inside, a vivid golden glow waved like flames or waves, strongly radiating its presence..

It was so mysterious and beautiful that I couldn't take my eyes off it..

“Yeouiju (如意珠))···.”

“It's a gift to Horus. After all, it is a necessary item for rituals. I never thought it would be given to me so quickly.”

“Carrying the karma of Hwangryong cannot be accomplished without Yeouiju. Normally, you would have your own Yeouiju, but since you are an exception, the previous owner will fully understand..”

The Yeouiju is a must-have item for every dragon, and if you were to be specific, it was in a similar position to the Dragon Heart..

A treasure among treasures that not only contains enormous energy in itself but also provides various beneficial effects to the user..

Unless something 'big' happened, Yeouiju, which had been with the dragon who created it, for the rest of its life, was of course not an item that could be given away so easily..

“If the previous owner···?”

“···Well, let's just say it's Sentai Yellow Dragon for now. It's hard to pinpoint because they all die before they can last long..”

“There's nothing to worry about just because it's a keepsake. This is something they left behind in the hope that it will be of some help to this situation..”

Of course, considering the recent past, which was literally a series of 'big troubles', it was natural for Yeouiju to be left without an owner..

Horus stared at the Yeouiju in his hands and then focused his mind on one point..

Whoa whoa—!

A storm of energy mixed with the wind swirls..

The temperature in the vicinity began to fluctuate arbitrarily due to the enormous energy that was not yet properly controlled because it was not used to it..

However, the level of skill will increase if you use it a lot..

In addition, the abilities he had were advantageous for getting used to it..

‘not bad. No, it's very good! I never thought I'd get this so quickly.’

As they said, one of the reasons was that Horus' learning ability was beyond imagination.—.

Perhaps other factors also had a significant influence on this bold decision.?

‘Yeah, for example···.’

The situation on the continent has become so noisy that even from their point of view, they cannot ignore it..

This is the full-fledged movement of the Demonic Cult..

‘That's probably why I became anxious. In a situation like now, you never know when something will happen again..’

The Yellow Dragon clan has already become extinct due to the conflict with the Demonic Cult..

Although Beoncheonhoeju, who took the lead in this matter, has already left this land, the remaining power of the Demonic Cult cannot be ignored..

It was natural for them to react sensitively..

‘Hmm, Yeouiju. How is this most efficient to use?···.’

Of course, Horus didn't really worry one bit about that..

That's right too.

Not only had they already killed the Heavenly Demon, who was the culprit of everything, but they were also just sorting out the headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Church, which was its stronghold..

A great companion who is like one body with him..

***

The headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Church in the Tianshan Mountains of Xinjiang Province.

Kwaaang—!

The earth shook with a huge explosion..

Although it was the culprit of the world's tribulation, the city, which had been strangely peaceful until now, fell into chaos due to the sudden uproar..

“move quickly!”

“Jisaldae moves straight away.!”

The warriors of the religion moved frantically..

Jang Sam, who has been in charge of raising livestock for over a dozen years, hid inside the barn and looked out at their urgent situation with a frightened expression..

‘What on earth happened?!’

I can't even tell how many times this thought has already occurred to me..

He tried to move his stiff head, which was not moving very well, and thought about what had happened..

Today was a day no different from usual..

Jang Sam, who is in charge of livestock farming at the headquarters of the Cheonma Theing Church, woke up early in the morning, ate the meal prepared by his wife, prayed to Cheonma, the representative of the god they follow, and then headed to work..

And it took a while to pick up fodder to feed the cows and clean the barn..

It was at that time that the clear sky suddenly became dark and covered with dark clouds..

Due to the sudden abnormal weather, he and those around him were confused and started whispering for a while..

Immediately afterwards, along with a loud thunder, someone's voice from heaven echoed in all directions, as if coming from heaven..

[“Listen, mortals trapped in the backwaters.”]

[“I am the lord of all the demons in the world.”]

[“Honor the new king of demons.”]

Even though I was just listening, the hair on my whole body stood up and my saliva dried.—.

A voice that is both holy and solemn, as if it is coming to see the world..

The will behind that calm declaration was something that he, a mere villager, could neither dare to fathom nor endure casually..

‘Yes, I did. Now this was a change that happened right after that..’

Jang-sam, who had finally managed to revive some of his memories that had been lost, let out a heavy sigh..

Even though I only heard a few words, right after the voice that seemed to flood my mind, the current situation began with an enormous magical energy covering the surrounding area at once..

Kwaaaaang—!

Jang Sam swallowed his saliva and stuck his head out to look out toward the center of the city..

[Wow!]

“Block it!”

Cheaeng! Chaang!

Fights happening everywhere.

Beings that seemed to be completely covered in black ink trampled on the warriors of the religion, and to keep up, the masters who joined one after another formed a systematic formation to fight back..

It looked quite fierce, but even Jang Sam, who was ignorant of the fighting aspect, could recognize it at a glance..

As it is, no matter how hard the religious warriors rush in, they will have no chance of victory..

Of course, I couldn't help but think of that thought..

That thing was just holding out against the henchmen..

In fact, no one is able to stop the person looking down from above the sky or the unidentified being leisurely approaching this direction, so what is the use of everything else?!

Powwow!

[Whoa whoa!]

[Uh...uh···.]

But suddenly, the entrance to a building of the Church of the Heavenly Demon burst open, and giants of large stature came out in a row from inside..

Beings whose size cannot be considered human..

“Huh! Yo...youkai?!”

It wasn't just about being big..

A monster with a boar's head and horns, a monster in the shape of a winged tiger, and even a monster in the shape of a wolf standing on two legs..

I was just observing its existence, but that alone somehow took my breath away..

For an ordinary country boy, Jang Sam's mental strength, which lasted quite long, was just there..

He was crushed by the aftereffects of colliding existence among beings of overwhelming status, and he could no longer bear it and passed out with foam at the mouth..

Just like every other normal person in this city did..

“Hoo? That is···?”

At that time, the gaze of Hans, the invader who had just succeeded in enclosing the entire surrounding area with a barrier, turned to where the giants were..

“Is it a jiangshi made from monsters? Plus, something feels very familiar..”

Hans' narrowed gaze carefully scanned the bodies of the monsters..

All kinds of patterns are engraved on the huge kidneys, each measuring well over 5 meters, as well as amulets attached to them..

The thought of turning that huge body into a jiangshi made me curious about their jiangshi skills..

‘Yeah, it feels somewhat similar to Doll..’

It wasn't my fault.

Their true identity is that they are Gangshi made from great monsters who were called the Four Deaths along with Do-ol when they were alive..

Except for Do-ol, who survived alone and escaped to Geumo-do, all three were here..

Not only has he lost his original sense of reason, but even his high status has been reduced and he has become a puppet of humans..

‘It's not just those three..’

Following them, various monsters and gangshi lined up and began to come out of the building..

It looks like that building is a studio that uses monsters to create jiangshi..

It seemed to be a prejudice on this side that only the corpse of a warrior would be suitable as material for a river poem..

Of course that wasn't a bad thing..

No, rather···.

‘This is great, it's a great sample.!’

I felt even more satisfied that their level of magic was higher than I thought..

Considering that various technologies will be applied to various fields in the future, a more flexible and highly scalable method is essential..

‘If you've seen this much, I think you've seen it all..’

Hans slowly looked around..

Now that many of the elites, including the cult leader, have escaped, they are deliberately slowly putting pressure on them to make them reveal everything they have been hiding.···.

By now, I felt like I had taken out everything that was worth taking out..

‘Well then, let’s summarize it little by little..’

There was a lot of work ahead..

In order to not only recover those samples as completely as possible, but also to ensure that the Demonic Cult's command center and researchers are in their hands, we'll have to be busier than we are now..

Gooooo—

Black magic energy began to gather around Hans' body..

An abyss-like darkness that makes you feel like you'll be sucked in just by looking at it..

Kwaduk—kwaduk.!

The space around Hans was distorted by the density of existence..

And through the distorted space, the black energy of the abyss slowly spread..

A cold smile appeared on Hans' lips..

Of course, but.

Even an empty house without the main power, including the leader, could not block Hans's way..

Just a few hours from Hans' appearance..

This was the time it took for the headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Church to fall..
