Chapter 430

dark side (2)

After a night where many things happened.

Morning dawned in a small city in the southern tip of Thailand that had suffered from a sudden commotion..

It was only a few hours ago that an incident occurred that may have caused the entire city to disappear..

However, as long as they survived and did not die, they had to somehow return to their daily lives in order to maintain their future lives, so the citizens of the city moved around as busy as usual, as if there had been a disturbance at some point..

“Hey, did you see it too? that night···.”

“of course. Huh, I thought I was dreaming.?”

“I was so surprised that I wondered if a war had even started.···.”

Of course, not everything was the same as usual..

The chaotic atmosphere of the people gathered in small groups and whispering and the fatigue on their faces from not being able to sleep well clearly revealed how much they cared about the previous day's events..

Such reactions did not stop only among those living in the area..

<A commotion in the middle of the night. Is it terrorism with the awakened person’s special ability??>

<An angel appears in the sky above Yala, Thailand! What on earth is going on there??>

<The beautiful Aurora that protected the city from bombing. The public's attention was focused on the photo of the angel taken in the center.···.>

<Thai Government—There are no signs of a missile attack. It is currently presumed to be a terrorist attack by an awakened person. An investigation team will be dispatched to Yala City to find out more details..>

As the times were changing, videos vividly recording the situation at the time poured in on the Internet, attracting public attention..

Illegal terrorist attacks happen all the time, but there have not been many incidents on this scale and this spectacular..

Isn't the enormous explosion that explodes one after another high in the sky and the mysterious entity that travels through the sky like a beam of light and intercepts them one by one, a subject that everyone can't help but be interested in??

-It's no joke to be intimidated even when watching the video. Every time an explosion occurs, the surrounding space becomes distorted.?

└It's true;; If it all fell on the city... But why did this suddenly happen? What is there in that backward town??

-Is that an angel? It's taken from too far away so it's hard to see..

└There is a close-up photo taken at high magnification. An angel with three pairs of wings and armor..

-The armor looks familiar... Could it be that Heinrich, a saint from another world??

└uh? It’s ㄹㅇ?

Among them, there were quite a few who deduced that the angel's identity was Heinrich, but they had no intention of hiding it as they were planning to take advantage of this incident..

Of course, not many people knew why this happened, how it progressed, and how it ended..

“Then, let me formally greet you. My name is Freyr, representative of the Blazing Torch. Thanks again to Masquerade for their help..”

Excluding the parties to the case gathered here now,.

Fuhrer Frey, who had been unconscious throughout the battle, bowed his head politely and expressed his gratitude..

To Heinrich, who sat across from us as the representative of the Masquerade, and to Ken, who was there because of our connection with the Burning Torch from the beginning..

Heinrich smiled softly and greeted her..

“I just did what I had to do. Buncheonhoe is not a problem of just a few people; it is an enemy of humanity that we must all deal with together..”

And after saying that it is not only Earthlings who are included in 'humanity', he looked at Frey with strange eyes..

“By the way, are you feeling okay? It seems like your body was taken away by that Mimic for quite a long time..”

“Ah, it's gotten a lot better. This is all thanks to Heinrich. Actually, I was lucky. Thanks to my unique skill, I was able to survive without being completely absorbed..”

She smiled bitterly and wrung her hands..

Uncharacteristic of someone who had been pretending to be a man with a beard to show his dignity as the President, his gestures were as feminine as any other young lady's..

“I didn't know that my unique skill, which I thought was all about changing appearance, would have such additional effects..”

“I guess you didn't invest much in unique skills.?”

“···I heard you are from another world, and you seem to be quite knowledgeable. This is a case where I overcame a wall by training ether rather than unique skills. Well, it was quite helpful to create a perfect body suitable for training and to avoid being caught up in gender disputes..”

Since they had just achieved victory over a common enemy, the conversation between the two sides proceeded smoothly..

The atmosphere became more friendly as Ken, who was glancing at Heinrich in an uncomfortable manner, and An, who was looking at Frey with worried eyes, started saying a few words..

Until Ken blurted out a word of regret..

“Anyway, it's a shame I missed that executioner. Such a dangerous enemy should have been dealt with reliably when the opportunity arose..”

As soon as those words were finished, Frey and Ahn's complexions darkened noticeably..

It had to be that way..

Not only Frey, who was captured while confronting him directly, but also Anda, who observed the battle from afar, knew well the fear of the enemy..

It was as obvious as seeing fire where he would start when he came back, so I couldn't help but worry in many ways..

In fact, isn't it almost impossible to stop him with the power of a blazing torch alone??

“Oh, didn't I tell you?”

But their worries did not last long..

“We've definitely finished the execution on our end, so you don't have to worry anymore..”

The next words Heinrich spoke casually swept away all concerns..

“···Huh? Is it true??”

“When?···?”

Everyone, including Ahn, who realized the absence of the phantom, was surprised by those words..

It would be a lie if I said I wasn't looking forward to it, but I never expected to be able to sort it out so quickly..

Frey and Ken, who even fought the executioner themselves, had similar thoughts..

‘After all, the Masquerade wasn't the only force that came here, right? Where on earth have these people been doing all this time?···.’

Frey, who was looking at Heinrich with deeply sunken eyes, sighed..

It's a secret organization that even saints and angels from the other world belong to..

Several years have passed since she realized the threat of the Buncheonhoe and began her activities, but she never dreamed that such a force existed..

‘···Still, there is no doubt that they are at odds with the Buncheonhoe right now, so I have no choice but to believe it for now..’

We should avoid completely trusting these suspicious people, but there was no other alternative now..

For the sake of those who have believed in me and followed me, I have no choice but to walk in the place with the highest potential..

She made up her mind and slowly nodded, making eye contact with An in the seat next to her..

Heinrich, who was quietly watching the audience's reaction, had a confident smile on his face..

‘You clearly demonstrated your power. It doesn't make sense for those three to step forward and miss out..’

As it happens, the Dark Side of Avatar is dispatched to Earth, and the 'Masquerade gathers!' It ended up looking the same... but this wasn't that bad either..

Because I went all in, I gained quite a bit..

For the great cause of destroying Beoncheonhoe.

In terms of the emergency of the secret society Masquerade.

***

“Phew, good. With this, it can be said that the entire purpose of dispatching to Southeast Asia has been achieved..”

Building a relationship with Blazing Torch was completed smoothly..

So far, it was close to an alliance between two independent powers, but for now, this was enough..

The damage suffered by the organization was so great that they had no choice but to rely on this side for survival..

Therefore, as time goes by, a superior-subordinate relationship will naturally be established, and it will become established as a subordinate power without having to do anything else..

‘As for the Southeast Asia branch of the Buncheonhoe... well, it was as if it had already been sorted out when all its leaders were captured..’

The task of destroying their souls can be left to Hans, who happened to be dispatched to the field..

In the process, you will be able to obtain information about the branches to which other transcendentalists belong, so the intended goal has already been achieved by a long way..

‘The avatars who came to Earth can be gradually sent back one by one..’

Sitting on the massage chair as usual, I quietly closed my eyes and glanced at the avatars remaining on Earth..

The first avatar sent back was the high elf Harris..

Not only the helmet but also the entire clothing were magic tools with effects including air purification, but that was barely enough to suppress the frustration that arose from feeling the surrounding nature itself..

‘If you want to endure it, you can endure it... Well, there's no need to go that far..’

Harris, who is assimilated into nature and relaxed about everything, was like a kind of mental stabilizer to me..

An avatar that not only relieves the stress that inevitably builds up while operating multiple avatars, but also contributes to a comfortable sleep..

Since I was in an environment where the sound of beautiful music was constantly coming from all directions, it was a helpful entity just to hang out there..

‘Let's see, then what's next?—.’

Hesperon, who was first summoned to Earth, was still hard at work..

Not only the supercomputers inside the complex data center, but also Titan and "Machine Eye: Callicas" were mobilized to create public opinion that further heightened the sense of crisis regarding the Buncheonhoe in relation to this incident..

‘But... this isn't that easy either. There was a reason that was hidden beneath the surface all this time..’

Even though it was linked to an incident that was becoming a hot topic, it did not have as big of an effect as expected..

Well, if you want to conquer the world on modern Earth, this level of information warfare is the basics..

It wouldn't have been that difficult since we had a doctor who was at the top of the technology field..

“I looked into them since there was no information about them on the Internet... Very thorough..”

Maybe there is a modified artificial intelligence like this one.

Just in case, I thought I should pay more attention to the security of the data center used by Hesperon..

So as not to let your guard down and get tracked down.

‘In the meantime, Heinrich turned to external affairs. Then the remaining guys···.’

Harley, a neutral mercenary who goes back and forth between light and darkness..

And there were Hans, Heinz II, and Hela, who could definitely be said to be on the dark side..

***

A space filled with all kinds of negative energy..

“Hmm, this is all I can do..”

Heinz, a member of the Dark Side who helped capture the executioner, slowly stood up, wiping his mouth..

[————!]

And then, I left the space where thoughts of unknown meaning echoed and took a step outside the completely isolated world..

Unlike the other two avatars, there was no room for intervention other than the blood part, so the job was completed quickly..

[Haha! Does this mean that name and form are divine beings? It lasts longer than I thought. Okay, great.!]

“Hehehe~ I think I could use this if I pull it off well. This is no different from a vampire. Even if the dimensions are different, there is a common denominator..”

While excited voices of avatars can be heard from behind.

Heinz came out of the artificially created space and took a deep breath..

‘As expected, the air over there is not suitable..’

「It would have been nice if other creatures could have been included in “Dragon Lair.”.

I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable because Magi only preferred blood, unlike the two he was more familiar with..

Still, since the work of absorbing and analyzing the power contained in the executioner's blood is over, I won't have to go there again in the future..

‘In the process, I made quite a bit of income..’

Did you say he was the great devil of eternity?.

Even though devil's blood is not very helpful to vampires, the causal effect of sucking blood from someone of that level was of great help to the growth of divine blood..

‘Of course, it cannot be compared to the other two..’

‘Hela is trying to swallow up all the karma she has accumulated as a 'demon lord', and Hans is planning to pickle her spirit and body into the abyss and turn them into puppets..

Compared to him, Heinz, who possessed only a little of the power and humanity contained in his blood, could be said to be a nobleman..

Instead, he sucked blood from other captured transcendents to the point where they did not die..

After completing his immediate task, he immediately moved to ‘his area’..

A place protected under his name, located in Seoul, Korea.

“Ah, it's been a while since you've been here, Rod.!”

“hmm.”

Heinz, who had just entered the office, nodded at Jin So-ran's greeting..

This place is like the center of the clan..

It was the Heterosis building where Jin So-ran, who leads the organization on behalf of Lord Heinz, works..

‘Now we can't even find the appearance of a shadowy organization..’

Heinz slowly looked around and nodded..

The scenery here, which uses an entire small building, is not much different from other companies..

The curtains are drawn during the day so it is dark throughout, except that most of the employees work at night..

“Still, I was checking the report every time. It seems like there's still a lot of work to do..”

“Hmm, things are a lot better these days though. When Howard Industries was launched in earnest, I thought it was going to die like this... It was definitely different having a professional manager..”

She sighed and shook her head as if she was breaking into a cold sweat just thinking about that time..

“Okay, you don't have to do all the work. All the captain has to do is make sure the crew is doing their jobs properly. In the world, there are many experts who only focus on one field and many talented people..”

“···What Rod said was very persuasive..”

Jin So-ran, one of the crew members who were being split apart, looked at Heinz with an expression of uncertainty..

And I made a firm promise once again.

Following that example, he said he would somehow attract competent subordinates and pass on the burdensome tasks..

“I don't think there are any major problems right now. Is there anything special??”

“Special note... Ah! The project I reported on last time! We're finally ready to implement it..”

“project?”

What else was there??

When Heinz was stroking his chin, looking back on past memories..

Jin So-ran, who was smiling brightly in front of him, continued speaking with her eyes sparkling..

“Project to improve awareness of vampires.”

Then a memory flashed through his mind..

Although there was a feeling that it had become slightly less effective with the launch of Howard Industries, the overseas perception of the clan—the vampire clan that had swallowed up the underworld not only in Korea but also in Europe—was not very good..

What's so bad is that public opinion criticizing Korea, its home country, is openly making headlines?.

And the agenda to which full authority was delegated as a countermeasure was···.

“Entering the entertainment industry!”

Matters regarding the establishment of foreign policy due to the clan's entry into the entertainment industry.

—It was a project called.
