My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 340
Squeak—thud!
The heavy sound of something heavy hitting the floor rang out..
Sports facility filled with all kinds of exercise equipment in a large space.
It was a space where dozens of people could train at the same time, but only one person used it..
That's bound to happen.
It was only natural that this was a private space created just for one person from the beginning..
“Phew.”
I put down the large, specially made barbell, wiped the sweat from my face with the towel around my neck, reached over to the side, and grabbed the bottle of drink..
Gulp—gulp.—
“Haha!”
Thirst quenched in an instant with a refreshing feeling.
Not only that, but new energy was contained in each cell of the body that had been overworked, and the physical strength that had almost dropped to the floor began to build up at a rapid rate..
“The effect is clear..”
It was a mysterious effect that would have surprised others, but to me it was no big deal..
Anyway, this was just a part of daily life that had been repeated for a long time..
‘Of course, the leaves of the World Tree. It's not for nothing that they say it's even used as an ingredient in elixirs..’
I lightly twisted my body back and forth as I put down the drink containing the leaves of the world tree as its main ingredient..
Since it is a common ingredient not only in elixir but also in the highest quality potions made by elves, its healing effect goes without saying..
‘Of course, I intentionally adjusted the concentration to compromise the efficacy..’
No matter how good the ingredients are for the body, it is not good to rely too much on these drugs when it comes to refining the body..
Just boosting one's "strongness" and activating "ultra-recovery" to the extreme was enough to aid training..
“If this were a luxury, it would be a luxury.”
Without even realizing it, a chuckle escaped me..
A sports drink made from the leaves of the World Tree, a precious ingredient, is nothing more than a sports drink to drink while exercising..
If the elves of the Elven Kingdom found out about this, wouldn't they fall down holding their backs??
‘Wow, how much have I done for you? What can you say at this level?.’
In that sense, it would not be enough to rob the entire warehouse where the by-products of the World Tree are stored..
Of course, I still collect a bunch of things every now and then, as if I were picking up things I left behind, so there may not be any difference..
I took a quick look around the indoor sports facility, trying to ignore the groans of the World Tree gardeners whispering in my ears..
Actually, that wasn't the only luxury I had for training..
“Well, that's great..”
This large space is filled with numerous exercise equipment that is both practical and aesthetic..
All of the things here were handmade products that Dwarf Howard painstakingly created one by one..
Luxury items that can only be found here in the world, custom-designed based on the principles of modern exercise equipment and hand-made by dwarven craftsmen using all kinds of rare materials..
This place was the fantasy paradise that every Hellchang dreamed of..
‘The exercise effect is better than before..’
I nodded slowly with a happy feeling..
This was definitely not my fault.
Howard's "craftsman's soul" is the dwarf's secret meaning of pushing the original potential of an item to its limits through pure manufacturing and raising it to the realm of magic tools..
It was natural that the exercise equipment he did his best to create could not even be compared to those produced as industrial products..
“This is the end for today.”
After finishing today's training routine, I stood in front of the mirror on one side..
Sculpture-like muscles imprinted all over the naked upper body..
With a low body fat percentage, clearly visible muscle texture wriggled, showing off one's presence..
‘Of course, this is no match for our trusty Harley or Heinrich..’
Those two were exceptions because they couldn't be compared in the first place..
How can a mutant who was born a physical monster and a paladin, the pinnacle of the Hell Spear world, rub up against a body that was only trained through home training??
But now his body was not at a level that could be easily ignored..
In addition to strengthening his body through enormous karma, the hard training he continued from the beginning of his awakening to achieve "super recovery" was enough to take him far beyond the category of an ordinary human being..
If you add the power of various skills such as “Super Strength” and “Nervousness”, you will be able to defeat low-level returners with just your bare body..
‘Still, that alone has its limits..’
In the first place, returnees were beings who returned not only with unique skills, but also with the mysteries accumulated in each world within their bodies..
On the contrary, it was normal for him, who had not accumulated a single bit of energy in his body because he had not crossed over to another world, to be unable to use certain 'energy'.···.
Kuuk!
clenched my fist.
Powerful strength felt in your grasp.
It wasn't just physical force.
Ugh—
A dark red flame burned through my fist..
“Biological Aura,” a special ability that burns the body’s biological energy and unleashes explosive destructive power.」.
But I didn't stop there.
A platinum-colored sacred power glowing dazzlingly appeared in the hand where the dark red flame had disappeared..
Immediately after that, black magic encroaching on the surroundings rises like a haze..
Blood magic with a fishy blood scent flowed out, then a natural power that warmly enveloped the surroundings spread, and soon it became an inner energy that radiated a heavy presence..
I nodded with satisfaction as I displayed various powers in turns in just a few breaths..
‘That's great.’
As expected, it was worthwhile to consistently train the constant reinforcement, which is an additional effect of “Object Projection”..
Of course, it is not as good as using the avatar himself, but it is a great advantage to be able to draw the energy you want whenever you need it..
Another great advantage was that since I wasn't actually using the energy accumulated in my body, no one would be able to guess that I was an awakened person until I released my power..
‘In addition, if I use Heinz II’s “Denial of Existence” to hide my sense of discomfort, no one will be able to suspect me..’
There is no special energy in the body and no special discomfort is felt.?
At that point, even Cheonma, who immediately figured out Hugo's identity, would never recognize this side..
‘Additionally, you can use “object projection” if necessary..’
It's unlikely that this place will become dangerous..
Of course, given my inclination, I wouldn't go out to such a place in the first place..
Afterwards, after washing off the sweat from my body in the shower, I laid down leisurely on the massage chair as always..
“Phew.”
And while savoring the pressure of the state-of-the-art massage chair that massages my entire body, I calmly organized the thoughts that came to mind..
Even at this moment, the situation in other places was going smoothly..
Outerica, which was the existing vegetable garden, as well as Kang Hwan-gye, who has been paying special attention recently,.
I turned my attention to the work that had just been completed..
‘It can be said that the Demonic Cult has been roughly sorted out with this. Of course, there are still remnants left, but since the main camp has been occupied, it won't take long to deal with them..’
Hans, who single-handedly attacked the Demonic Cult, finally succeeded in completely engulfing it..
An armed occupation with overwhelming power combined with horribly dense black magic..
Of course, the Demon Cults also tried to resist it somehow, but there was no one left in the Demon Cult who had the capacity to lead it..
‘Those who attacked Shaolin Temple with the Heavenly Demon have not returned yet..’
Not only them, but also other elite units dispatched to various parts of the continent to secure the dragon child..
It is said that even the military Cheongi Maseon, the second-in-command of the Demonic Cult, was away, so it was no joke, it was really like an empty house..
Of course, it seems that they also paid attention to their own defense of the base, as there were enough defense methods, including the youkai gangshi, remaining.—.
‘It's also useful when dealing with common enemies..’
Unfortunately, Hans, the demon king of another world who descended on the Kangwhan world, was not an opponent that fell into that general category..
Rather, thanks to that, didn't all the jiangshi they prepared, as well as the fighting techniques and magic techniques, fall into his hands??
“Hmm, well—I guess we can leave that to Hans for now. Even though the texture is a little different, demonists are also demons..”
Isn’t dealing with such guys the specialty of Hans, the master of demons?!
He was a so-called experienced rookie who had a track record of leading the Immortal Army without any trouble for several years..
He could probably catch the remnants outside before they even notice anything..
‘Geumo Island and the side... aren't bad. Perhaps because of the demonic cult's favor, they are actively supporting Horus..’
The topic that Horus has been focusing on recently was how to use Yeouiju and Dragon Heart in conjunction..
Because it was very inefficient to use those two powerful nuclei one by one..
‘The total amount of energy is already sufficient. Of course the most efficient would be the dual core method..’
However, my understanding of magic was too low compared to my knowledge of magic to find a solution right away..
To solve this, we need to strike some balance between the two sides..
In the end, it was a problem that needed time..
‘···Time is still okay. Now that Hans has taken over the Demon Bridge, Geumodo has more freedom than expected. Anyway, the priority is to secure the dragon children..’
I tried just in case, but as expected, I couldn't find a living dragon child at the headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Church..
Even before this incident, the demon cultists had been consistently searching for and kidnapping dragon children, and those who did not want the dragon heart to be resurrected used them to increase their power by sacrificing all the children they captured..
The fact that the Heavenly Demon was able to use the sacred power of the Buncheonhoeju without significant loss, and the fact that the martial arts people's defense and defense became unnatural when faced with the Demon Cultists, were all part of the power gained in the process..
‘These are the people who were initially arranged to rebuild the greatest mystery of the Kangwhan world, the Dragon Heart. It could have been said to be the optimal offering for use in other ways..’
I clicked my tongue lightly and frowned..
As I looked into the situation, I realized that the current situation was more difficult than I thought..
I don't know how many dragon children were born in this world, but I'm sure the number wasn't that many..
‘He was born so weak that if he had been born into a poor family, he would have died before he reached adulthood. In the end, the number of people who survived until now was probably only a handful, and on top of that, there was interference from the Demonic Cult.···.’
We don't know how many dragon children are needed for the ritual to rebuild the dragon heart..
But since nothing had been decided yet, it was natural that the greater the number, the better..
If you work hard to find an alternative, but they are not enough to even try, wouldn't it be a fool's errand??
‘We need to move more actively. Their basic policy is to bring them to the main altar and offer them as sacrifices, but there may be some who change their minds along the way..’
Harley, who is currently sightseeing around Geumodo Island, should have stepped forward..
In fact, he had been looking for an opportunity to create a fight and bite the flesh of the monsters, but the rumor that he had already had a fight with Dool and completely overwhelmed him had spread, so everyone was just hissing and running away, but there was no point in doing so..
It may be natural since it ran so loudly with its gigantic body nearly 10 meters tall in the first place..
‘I guess that’s okay now. Because in the Demonic Cult's laboratory, I was able to find a lot of inner altars filled with the essence of youkai..’
They were two groups that clashed at every turn and hunted each other in the dark..
There was a truly enormous amount of by-products piled up in the headquarters of the Demonic Cult, and among them were some of the highest-ranking youkai, so-called divine beasts..
‘Hyeonmu’s carapace, giraffe’s horn, and even the dragon’s Yeouiju... It's literally like a bonanza..’
There was no need to hesitate once it was decided..
I moved the Harley and looked at the last avatar in the Kang Hwan Realm..
Hugo was on his way home in a hurry with Zhuge Dynasty's people..
The return trip was more pleasant than expected, thanks to Harley having already defeated most of the hostile factions on the way..
If it weren't for that, the other guys wouldn't have left them alone as they moved so quickly and their defenses became weak..
“At this rate, we'll be there soon..”
In fact, it was already too late, but the information we get from them will be quite helpful in tracking them down..
I focused my attention there for a moment and then turned my head again..
Anyway, now that I've figured out the current status quo, there's only one thing left..
In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that it is the most important thing..
‘It's settlement.’
The corners of my mouth twitched without me realizing it..
The karma supplied from Outerica was stable as always, but this time, quite a big thing happened on Kang Hwan-gye's side, so it was true that expectations were high in many ways..
“···oh?”
Before going to the Murim Alliance meeting, the karma immediately after acquiring skills including “Imitate” through the ‘random draw’ was about 3.6 million.···.
『possess karma - 6,212,830』
As expected, the work of pioneering a new garden was very successful..
