My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 36
Earth Vampire (3)
The ‘seeing’ of the person who read Hans’ magic was not perfect..
As a vampire's blood-based ability, it was more effective the weaker the opponent, but it was almost useless against a strong opponent..
I'm just guessing and making judgments about something huge..
Also, Hans is not a vampire, so even if you match their level system, there will be an error..
Originally, it was standard practice to measure the blood-sucking factor and divide it into levels..
But none of that mattered to them..
Right in front of me, an overwhelmingly powerful person was rolling his eyes..
[Ho... You have mastered black magic..]
Hans was amazed when he saw Gamma..
It was an energy I didn’t feel when I met him face to face with Heinz..
It felt vague as if it had been concealed by some kind of method, but it was impossible to avoid the eyes of Hans, who had already become a master of black magic..
“Ugh, how did you penetrate my cover?···!”
Gamma, unable to understand this, just ground his teeth..
The ‘concealment’ of the blood system ability, which was the secret weapon, and the black magic that was hidden with it were read at the same time.···.
[That's interesting. A new system of black magic. I'm so lucky today.]
During my time maintaining public order, I occasionally encountered black magic users..
Due to the influence of dark magic, most of them were crazy people, and Hans happily absorbed their knowledge..
‘Thanks to you, I achieved quite a bit. But here again, a new system is discovered..’
I thought about it and paused for a moment..
Aren't all these vampires planned to be used as a foundation for Heinz's growth?.
‘If I was exposed to dark magic while searching through my mind, my blood would be damaged... Memories cannot be read in a dead state due to blood sucking, and necromancy has its limits. What do we do?’
As Hans hesitated at the sudden dilemma, Gamma and his gang, perhaps thinking it was an opportunity, spread out and began to run away..
pitifully.
[You're struggling in vain. This is already my territory. No one can escape without my permission..]
Cooung—
A wave of black magic spread around Hans, who lightly touched the floor with his cane..
and···.
[Kihihihi]
“Ugh! What are these!”
Parts of the undead's bodies, stained black, protruded from the walls, ceiling, and floor covered in darkness and attacked those running away..
While Heinz watched them and gathered information, Hans was not just hiding inside the barrier..
A work done secretly while waiting to overlay one's territory inside the barrier..
It was proof that Hans' black magic was growing day by day..
“Ugh···.”
“Unite! If it spreads, each person will be destroyed.!”
We saw it earlier when fighting Jin So-ran, but since they are returnees, they also have various abilities..
Natural abilities such as fire and ice, as well as telekinesis and instantaneous acceleration,···.
“Hmm!”
Cooung—!
Right now, Hans has the ability to strengthen his body by swinging his fist right in front of his eyes..
‘He was Jin So-ran's colleague. Did he say Minyoung??’
He entered a combat stance and lost his human form..
The muscles of the entire body were violently swollen, the face was distorted, and the mouth was full of shark-like teeth..
“Wow!”
bang! bang! Kwaang—!
Hans's shield continued to flutter as his fists struck at explosive speed..
He avoided the undead with his unique high speed and did not stop his attack by stepping on the grips that emerged from the floor..
“Hmm, is that a characteristic of the vampire over there? I guess it evolved to strengthen physical abilities... It's interesting.”
Heinz, a fellow vampire, could tell that it had not mutated due to supernatural powers..
That shape, similar to Outerica's 'slave', must be a common characteristic of vampires in that dimension..
Add to that the physical strengthening ability, which appears to be a unique skill, and the synergy was significant..
poop—!
“Heheook!”
Of course, there were limits to that too..
Black thorns extending from all directions pierced his entire body..
I was planning on catching the vampires as intact as possible, but this guy was so lively that I thought I'd have to take some losses..
[It's not easy to deal with it properly..]
If I had planned to just hold my breath, it would have been over already, but since each of them was a growth drug to be fed to Heinz, there were restrictions on dealing with them..
The difficulties of organic farming.
At that moment, Heinz used “acceleration” and rolled on the floor..
hiss—!
A red blade cutting through the location where Heinz's neck was..
It was the other one who came with Jin So-ran..
‘It's really not that easy?’
If it weren't for the abyss that Hans had created, I would not have noticed the surprise attack and would have been decapitated..
Hans, who controls this space, figured out its hiding place, and Heinz, who shares his thoughts, was able to dodge it at the right time..
“Tsk.”
When the surprise attack fails, the assassin clicks his tongue and immediately disappears..
Heinz still felt nothing..
‘Did you intend to create a gap?.’
Since there was no way out, the intention was probably to shake up Hans by attacking Heinz, who appeared to be on the same side..
Maybe they were planning to neutralize him and take him hostage..
‘Because you won't die right away if your throat is cut..’
Well, they are veterans of battles who have fought through all kinds of battlefields, but I guess they tried to eat it too raw..
[Even if it means taking some losses, you need to prepare it so that it is edible..]
A stream of tangible black magic emanated from Hans..
Chill spread in all directions, and an aura of fear engulfed the space..
“Wow!”
“These guys suddenly got stronger... Inhale!”
The vampires who were doing well and looking for a way out began to fall one by one..
6Even those who were level were having a hard time responding to the black magic coming out of the darkness everywhere..
The same goes for the assassin who was hiding and ambushed Heinz..
Curses that could contaminate the blood were avoided, but black magic that destroyed the body was used liberally..
Since they are the type of people who rarely die, it would have been easier if they had done this a long time ago.···.
“Because there are a lot of people I can eat in the future. Then I guess I have some free time, let's take down one guy first.?”
Heinz approached Minyoung, who was resisting fiercely even though her entire body was pierced by thorns and she was restrained..
“Wow! Something like this! me! Do you think you can catch it?—!”
His black thorns were breaking off one by one as he struggled, howling like a wild animal while bleeding profusely..
If you leave it like this, you might be able to escape on your own..
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr—
Of course, Hans had no intention of letting that happen and wrapped black chains around his entire body..
“Ughhh!”
His ugly face turned bright red as he tried to escape the pressure coming from all directions..
Heinz went behind him, grabbed him by the shoulders and mounted him..
‘Because he's so big, it's hard to get a good angle to suck blood..’
2.5A muscular man up to a meter tall.
He placed his mouth on the nape of his neck and sharply pulled out his fangs..
wow—
Tough skin and steel-like muscles blocked the canine teeth..
However, Heinz poured blood magic into his jaw and fangs and succeeded in piercing the nape of the neck..
“Wow! This crazy guy! Are you sane to try to prey on your own kind??!”
I ignored him and sucked his blood..
The source of his strength, the vampires, was stolen along with his life force..
[It's crazy to think that they are predating their own species without any refining process... No matter how I lived until now, I can't die like this. ···With what kind of heart did I betray...? Betray her and give her strength...her strength is even stronger······.]
And his thoughts that came with the blood penetrated my head and polluted my mind..
Resentment and hatred, pain and despair.
All kinds of other emotions came rushing in like a flood..
‘It's definitely much worse than the cannibalism that occurred in Outerica. It would be strange not to go crazy at this level.’
It doesn't matter because I can filter it cleanly with "Mind Herb"..
The blood sucking is finally over.
Minyoung, who had all her blood stolen from her, dried up and slowly turned to ashes and disappeared..
“Phew—.”
My heart starts beating wildly. The blood flow accelerates and the whole body feels like it is on fire. My skin turned red..
I can feel the different blood-sucking factors in my blood combining and mutating... no, evolving..
“Haaa···.”
Steam comes out from the mouth.
···When I looked closely, I saw steam rising from the pores of my entire body along with heat..
Wood clatter!
Along with the sound of bones twisting, muscles contracted and relaxed repeatedly, and bruises appeared and disappeared as blood vessels burst..
How much time has passed.
《The vampire factor that an individual possesses evolves and its potential blooms. Acquire the special skill “Hybrid Evolution”.》
《Collect new blood sucking factors. The individual's physical abilities grow explosively under the influence of the special skill "Hybrid Evolution"..》
Heinz's body became lighter..
The skeleton grew, increasing in height and size, and the quality and density of the muscles increased, so a different force was felt in the fist than before..
“···Good?”
The “Mixed Blood Evolution” I acquired this time was a skill that constantly evolves every time I acquire a different vampire factor..
Looking at it like this, I can see why the mad blood demon became a problem..
If people with this kind of power went crazy with blood···.
“That power is mine now. And there are still eight left..”
[If it works this well, there's nothing I can do about it. There are many opportunities for black magic in the future. I still have quite a bit of income. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk···.]
All of his subordinates had fallen, and Gamma, left alone with the assassin, was resisting by generously using his hidden black magic..
Hans was pressuring him moderately and using his “evil wisdom” to rob him of his wealth..
“For now, the eight remaining here. and then···.”
decided.
I have to take the blood oath..
I was already feeling the need for a useful organization that I could run..
It would be great if we could eliminate the hardliners who are trying to instigate chaos and leave only the moderates..
‘In the process, those who rebel become my food. Absolutely perfect plan···!’
Heinz smiled sinisterly as he approached the subdued vampires..
***
《Due to the influence of the special skill “Hybrid Evolution”···.》
《Collect new blood sucking factors. I gained enlightenment due to the influence of the special skill “Hybrid Evolution.” Acquire the skill “Perception”.》
I feel like I'm growing every moment.
Each time you finish sucking blood, the cells of your entire body evolve and become stronger..
There were times when we were unable to obtain new vampire factors, perhaps because we came from overlapping dimensions, but even taking that into account, the strengthening effect of Predating our own kind was sufficiently significant..
And I realized that, with a low probability, I could acquire the 'blood ability' that my opponent had..
‘「“See through”... that’s a useful ability. Was it a blood-related ability rather than a unique skill acquired during awakening??’
Vampires in some dimensions are granted special abilities depending on their lineage..
That's blood power.
Heinz was able to steal their abilities using “hybrid evolution”..
‘The probability increases as the strength of the blood-sucking factor increases. I got lucky this time.’
The "Perception" ability that measured their level was not a very strong opponent..
By their standards, you need to play a lot to reach level 5.?
‘There will be many opportunities in the future. By the way, there were so many of them and now there are only two left..’
No, is it one now?.
The assassin who attacked Heinz turned into ashes and scattered around..
Unfortunately, I did not acquire any new skills, but I learned a blood magic management technique that could be helpful in hiding..
Of course, strengthening the body and increasing blood magic power were basic options..
“you you···! What on earth did you do? How can you prey on your own kind and still get away with it?! how!”
Gamma was subdued and neatly packaged in front of him..
He glared at Heinz with wide eyes and foamed at the mouth..
It was as if his eyes were turned when he saw someone else pursuing the goal he had risked everything for without any hesitation..
‘Still, he is someone who taught me a lot, so maybe it would be okay to at least satisfy my curiosity on the way to the end??’
Whether it was his intention or not, didn't he gain a lot from talking to his heart's content?.
Heinz must have had some share in being able to grow like this right now..
“okay. I'll tell you.”
I was weak-hearted and decided to grant his last wish..
And until I went behind him and placed my fangs on the back of his neck, Gamma calmly waited for my answer in desperation..
I lived up to his expectations and spoke with sincerity..
“All you have to do is block the thoughts that flood in when sucking blood and prevent mental contamination..”
“···? What?! what kind of point is that···.”
deeply—!
It's not a lie.
I really told you right.
《I gained enlightenment due to the influence of the special skill “Hybrid Evolution.” Acquire skill “Concealment”.》
