My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 76

#76

Clan Brokoslak (3)

Puuk—

“Inhale!”

Heinz, with no intention of wasting any more time, grabbed the back of Freesia's neck with one hand..

As his five fingers dug deep into the slender neck, blood trickled down through the wound..

In this way, Heinz injected “purified blood tablets” directly into her blood vessels while touching her bloodstream..

“Cough—! you! What on earth did you do?···!”

Is it really true blood?.

Even when she was suppressed, she controlled her own blood and quarantined the blood that had already come in contact with Heinz's “purified blood essence” to prevent it from spreading throughout her body..

The ability to respond immediately to situations was quite good..

‘Of course, it is a meaningless rebellion. Let's see how long I can last.’

Continuously injected “purified blood tablets”」.

Phrygia, whose strength was already low, could not do anything about it..

Moreover, since it came in through the neck, which is a vital point, there were limits to how much blood could be controlled there..

“Wow···.”

In the end... the abnormality that started in her neck quickly spread to her brain and heart, and it soon spread to her entire body..

‘This crazy guy! Forcibly spilling your own blood! What on earth are you thinking?···.’

What is the reason for doing this instead of killing it gently?.

If Jinhyeol's blood, or even the blood of someone stronger than her, enters, extreme mental contamination will occur..

Of course, I had to become a little stronger, but that was meaningless if I went crazy..

‘Are you really planning to use me to destroy the capital??’

Otherwise there was no need to go this far..

Blood is the source of a vampire's power, so why bother complicating things to the point of consuming their own power?.

‘It can never go your way!’

Originally, it was impossible to do anything with her who was bleeding with such a small amount of blood..

But for some reason, the blood that entered her body was constantly affecting the surrounding blood and changing the blood-sucking factor..

As if a deadly poison had entered her body, the blood in her body became hot and pain rushed in. She gritted her teeth and tried to come to her senses..

Tduk-duk-duk-duk!

However, rather than mental contamination occurring, changes that she could not understand were taking place in her body..

‘···what's this? Was the effect of kin predation this good? No, it wasn't just an increase in blood magic power.?’

Phrygia, who had mastered controlling her own body for a long time, was able to quickly realize.

Physical abilities, including strength, agility, and flexibility, have grown explosively..

In addition, blood mana can now be handled much better, and its efficiency has also reached a new level..

Her mind, which had been focused on counteracting mental contamination, finally began to analyze the situation objectively..

Due to the externally injected blood, the vampire factors present in her body were affected and mutated..

···It was a change so dramatic that it should rather be called evolution..

And what Heinz said came back to her mind:.

‘Do you have any intention of following me? It can make you much stronger than you are now..’

I guess what I said back then wasn't crazy..

“you! What on earth have you done to me?···?”

Freesia looked embarrassed and looked at her changed body..

My mind was still clear, and I no longer felt any pain..

And without any sense of alienation, she was much stronger than before..

Heinz observed her closely and nodded quietly..

‘Fortunately, it also works for Jinhyeol. Compared to others, I consumed quite a bit more “Purified Blood Tablets,” but compared to the effect, that amount is nothing..’

I was not letting go of my nerves with the intention of immediately dealing with her if she got out of control, but fortunately, I felt that a dependency relationship had been established without difficulty..

“It seems to be okay now. Then just get up from your seat.?”

“What on earth are you planning? If you come out like this all of a sudden, I don't think I'll follow you.···.”

Freesia, who had been glaring at him and spitting out coldly, stood up obediently and politely stood up..

“ah···?”

Only then did she realize something was wrong, and she looked back and forth between her body and Heinz..

Then he suddenly threw his arms towards him and suddenly froze in place as if he were a stone..

‘I guess you noticed. But now you won't be able to attack me.’

Because that was the basic effect of ‘blood subordination’.

“Why is this...? How are you? what?”

No matter how hard I try, my hands won't go any further.

Phrygia, who only realized the current situation clearly after checking it herself, fell into confusion..

It was a natural reaction since someone who was the true blood of Brokoslag became subordinate to the person he saw for the first time today..

“Now we have the conditions to talk calmly..”

“There's no way something like this is possible? This is impossible even if it is blood···.”

No, she wasn't ready to talk yet..

“Focus on the conversation, Freesia..”

“bout!”

Only then did he nod his head in satisfaction when he saw her fixing her gaze on Heinz and preparing to listen..

And as he had done so far, he revealed his identity and persuaded her that he could give greater power to those who follow him..

Of course, her reaction was as negative as expected..

“Brokoslak is one of the ‘blood vessels of beginning’. Additionally, it is one of the few veins where the Precious Blood remains. You, as collateral, will rule over that place.?”

There was also unexpected information..

I knew that Brokoslak was the source of water that had been passed down since the beginning of time, but I did not know the story about the Precious Blood..

‘To begin with, I only received training for about a week due to residual blood loss..’

Because of that, there was no way to access such advanced information, but now things are different..

“Tell me more about that Precious Blood..”

“Ugh... So···.”

Seonghyeol, which was also the progenitor of the blood vessel of beginning..

They were as powerful as their name, but over the years they have disappeared one by one, and it is estimated that only two or three remain..

Because the inheritance of the Precious Blood was very difficult, its power was not properly passed on to future generations..

“Is there anyone who inherited the Precious Blood??”

“···A few decades ago... I heard that the Lord of the Eupersch Clan was successful. I don't know if it's real···.”

I had heard about the Upersh clan during my training..

It was said that it was one of the top three clans in Outerica along with Brokoslak..

‘But looking at you, it seems like they are a stronger force..’

“And our progenitor, Brokoslak, went into hibernation a long time ago. To survive as long as possible and wait for a successor who can inherit power..”

This was information that only Jinhyeol of the clan could know..

However, the hibernation location was kept a secret even from them, so it is said that she does not know where the Precious Blood is sleeping..

“However, if the Holy Blood, who awakens later, realizes that his bloodline has been passed on to the collateral... you will never die happily.!”

“Anyway, it's hibernating right now. I don't know when I'll wake up?”

“Ugh...it was a means to endure for a long time in the first place. Only he knows when he will wake up, but it won't be right away..”

Then it probably didn't matter.

I don't know when that guy will wake up, but then I won't have to worry anymore..

Rather, now it was my turn to persuade this woman..

In order to easily reach the Lord of the Brokoslak Clan, we needed her active help..

“Yes, Phrygia. Are you satisfied with your current situation??”

“···What are you talking about??”

“A life of hiding to avoid being discovered, a life of not being able to reveal oneself confidently, a life of being anxious about what the religious order thinks..”

Freesia's face hardened..

When I was taking other vampires under my command and collecting information, I heard a lot of stories about her..

A side of her that I learned through him.

Of course, it is dangerous to make hasty conclusions based solely on what you have heard from others, but one thing was clear..

She longs for living proudly in the sun..

No matter how tired you are, frequent outings under the sun are bound to be uncomfortable..

They indulge in luxury through expensive shopping and form relationships with humans through frequent social gatherings..

And through that, he enjoys life as a human being, enjoying the flattery and praise of those around him..

But all of that was just a dangerous illusion that might disappear at any time..

She, too, must have felt that fact keenly..

You would have already created a new identity several times and had to throw away what you had built up before..

“However, it is an unavoidable problem! We are a species that cannot go out into the sun from the moment we were born..”

“who decided that?”

“···Human perception and the actual judgment of the main church···.”

“Why should you be afraid of the main church??”

“Because it's strong! How many people on this continent can resist them? Unless you're at the level of the Empire or the Magic Tower Alliance, it's impossible.!”

Those people also had a good relationship with the church, so in reality, it was as if they didn't exist..

In response to her answer, Heinz nodded and opened his mouth..

“In the end, it means you don't have enough power..”

“···I admit that your abilities are great, but this isn't a problem that can be solved by a few people becoming stronger..”

“If it's not on some level?”

“yes? What does that mean??”

He looked at Freesia and had a small smile on his face..

“For example—if all the vampire clans on this continent could come together and join forces.?”

“There's no way that's possible! What nonsense···.”

“Why doesn't it make sense??”

“Each clan is an independent organization. There is no way they can cooperate properly, and whenever something happens, they will join forces to suit each other's interests. And it will soon fall apart.”

Heinz nodded slowly, still smiling..

There was nothing wrong with what she said..

“okay. So what if... there was a Lord who had absolute power and could control them all??”

“under! That's impossible even with blood...?”

Freesia is speechless due to a sudden sense of déjà vu..

of course.

Those were the words she had muttered to herself just moments ago after being subordinated to Heinz..

Looking down at her who was looking at him with a blank expression, he spoke leisurely..

“It's my ability. Through this blood, I can unite all the vampires on this continent under my command. And they'll all become stronger like you.”

“ah···.”

“How long are you going to hold your breath? Since the power of the already small number of vampires is not united, they have no choice but to be oppressed forever..”

Phrygia's eyes wavered..

It was clear that there was conflict..

“Well then, our broccoli slag is···.”

“Of course, Brokoslak, the source of my blood and the first force under my command, should be treated the same way..”

It's almost over.

This is the end now.

“When I become king over them, you too will be honored by my side..”

and.

Phrygian Brochoslak completely surrendered to Heinz II..

***

The heart of the Bright Duke's mansion in the Kingdom of Thalia..

A man sitting in a large armchair in the dark was receiving a report from a middle-aged man..

Lord of the Brokoslak Clan, Mulo Brokoslak, lightly shook the wine glass in his right hand, finished reporting to him, and looked at the mayor politely..

“Okay, so things are going a bit hazy..”

“That's right. Rather, they are asking for our cooperation in this regard..”

“Hmm, after all, the immortal king has been resurrected.···.”

“According to what I found out separately, the atmosphere in the church recently has been unusual. In terms of timing, wouldn't it have something to do with the quick movement of the church's elite through our temple last time? Something seems wrong then.”

There was information secretly conveyed only to the upper echelons of each faction in the main religious order..

It was a message that a meeting would be held soon to discuss in more detail the news of the Immortal King's resurrection and a call to prepare in advance..

“Just keep trying. The Immortal King is the Immortal King, and even so, we cannot allow the church to grow in power any further.”

“Yes, then I will gather my middle finger with the nobles under my command. road.”

“Go out.”

“Have a relaxing time.”

The middle-aged man put his hands together and bowed carefully before leaving the room quietly without making a sound..

click—

He gently closed the door, wiped off the cold sweat, and swallowed a heavy sigh in his throat..

I couldn't even take a breath here..

The mansion was his in name only, and there was nothing he could do with it as he pleased..

Duke Bright, the middle-aged man who was crossing the hallway with silent steps and a powerful figure in the Kingdom of Thalia, stopped for a moment when he saw the people approaching from the other side..

“Hello Freesia,.”

“oh! Aren't you my father? Are you at peace? I guess you are on your way to report to the Lord..”

Since Phrygia's false identity was one of the duke's daughters, she called him father whenever she saw him..

Of course, it was just a burdensome title for someone who felt comfortable speaking informally..

“Yes, I am coming to see you because I have something to report on this church matter..”

After speaking, the duke glanced at the person next to her..

Even though it was completely his first time seeing him, the duke didn't show it and bowed his waist and stepped aside..

As long as Phrygia, the true blood of the clan, was next to him, he had to close his eyes and block his ears to any matter..

“Then I will go to Rod. Father, please go in and rest too..”

“Okay, then I'll just leave.···.”

The duke bowed his head again and exited the passage..

And the two people who passed the duke.

Without being stopped by anyone, I entered the deep part of the mansion where Mulo Brokoslag was located..
