My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 77
#77
Clan Brokoslak (4)
smart—
“Lord, this is Freesia. I have something to tell you. Can I come in??”
“Come in.”
The door opened with permission coming from inside, revealing an interior engulfed in black darkness..
In the darkness, only a pair of red eye lights revealed its presence..
“Loading is also good. Light some candles or light bulbs. There’s no need to keep it dark like this, right??”
“I'm not human, I just don't feel the need..”
Perhaps because we were members of the same Jinhyeol group, the atmosphere was more informal than expected..
While they were talking, Heinz quietly followed Freesia into the room and looked around the inside carefully..
‘That's amazing. I heard that the Lord was a wizard type, but a blood magic barrier like this. There is no separate fortress..’
Blood-red patterns painted on the walls, floor, and ceiling of a large space..
Even the decorations inside the room were all objects that aided magic..
‘I feel uncomfortable because I feel like I've carelessly entered the wizard's territory.···.’
「Tension rose again at the numerous barriers analyzed as “mysteries of blood.”.
But I had no choice..
Mulo Brokoslak, a vampire who has lived for hundreds of years, has not stepped out of his room for decades..
He built a fortress in the safest place and stayed there, moving only his subordinates to handle various tasks..
Because of his obsessive pursuit of safety, it was not easy to lure him out..
‘Still, if you make a sudden surprise attack a little closer, before you even activate the barrier,···.’
“But Freesia. who is the author?”
At that time, Mulo looked at Heinz standing behind her and asked softly:.
It was an opportunity to get closer..
“Ah, load. I just wanted to introduce you to you? Heinz, come here..”
Before Heinz could step forward at her words with a smile on his face, Mulo slowly opened his mouth again..
“Oh, by the way, before that... I want to ask you one thing, Freesia..”
“yes? tell me anything.”
He picked up the glass bottle and wine glass on the table next to him and spoke in a nonchalant tone as if it was nothing special..
“By any chance, did you change your perfume??”
Squeak—
Red liquid filling a wine glass.
A faint smell of blood spread throughout the room..
“Although I have been with you for over a hundred years, there is a very unfamiliar scent that I have never smelled before..”
Mulo calmly shakes the glass and savors the scent..
But the gaze did not leave the two people for even a moment..
“I don't even know why.”
In the stiffening atmosphere, Freesia smiled and came up with an excuse she had prepared in advance..
“Ah, load. that···.”
“More than anything.”
But Mulo didn't seem to have any intention of listening to her answer, even though he asked her first..
“I feel a distance from you today..”
He was already sure.
I don't know what they did, but I'm told that Freesia escaped Brokoslak's shadow..
‘This is hot.’
As soon as he made his decision, Heinz, who used "Acceleration", rushed towards him like a thunderbolt..
At the same time, Phrygia's parasol, which was a little closer, was thrown towards Mulo, but it seemed to be blocked by something before it could reach him and could not go any further..
Wow!—
The blood pattern drawn throughout the room glowed red and distorted the space..
The area, which was just a rather large room, continued to expand, and the distance between them and Mulo widened in an instant..
‘Ah, this is why I should have stuck with it as much as possible..’
Although he was a being specialized in magic, he was also a true-blooded vampire..
His reaction speed was also on a different level from that of a typical wizard, so I wanted to approach him cautiously and get to work, but he got caught before I could..
‘I guess I found the road too easy..’
Still, it was a moment when I thought that if it was just me and Freesia, we could easily win one with a mule..
“Children of Brokoslag. come to me.”
Pools of blood appeared in various places in the vast space, and vampires appeared one by one from there..
“Huh? This? Rod called.!”
“First, prepare for battle!”
When Heinz was preparing for battle, frowning at the sudden increase in the opponent's troops.···.
“···What is this? There is only so much left in the capital.?”
Even Mulo, who had called his subordinates, was embarrassed..
Because the number of people who responded to the ‘call of blood’ that summons nearby blood relatives was only half of the original number..
“Freesia...what on earth have you done?.”
Freesia sighed and stepped forward as he glared at her and growled lowly in his voice..
“Well, I mean···.”
And she rambled on about her grand plans with Heinz..
Mulo did not interrupt this time and listened to her excuse until the end..
“So what you're saying is, let's just believe in such nonsense and sacrifice the entire clan to this guy whose identity we don't even know.?”
Of course, the reaction wasn't that good..
“No, but it has already been proven···.”
“What do you mean? Yes, it's great that we subjugated our kin without killing them, but is there any evidence that this will work for other clans as well??”
There was nothing to prove it, just Heinz's words..
“Also, does he have the ability to subdue all clans and take them under his command? You know that too, right? Bisque Eupersch inherited the Holy Blood..”
Because of that, he was so frightened that he was unable to engage in outside activities and has been confined to this place for decades..
“That... that's···.”
“···It seems like he's possessed by something. Although it is something that cannot be helped since ‘blood subordination’ has passed..”
If I left their conversation like this any longer, it seemed like Frisia's momentum would only be broken..
In fact, because she had made a slight hint using the “Mystery of Blood,” Heinz, feeling a little annoyed inside, stepped in front of her and faced Mulo from the front..
“You have a long tongue. In other words, doesn't that mean you don't believe I have that ability??”
“You guy···.”
“From the beginning, I didn't even expect to be able to solve it verbally. I'll just hit it directly on your body and imprint it on you..”
And Heinz approached him with all his might for the first time since the fight with the hardliners of the clan..
Jeopuk- Jeobuk—
With each step, a thick blood-red aura began to spread out from Heinz's body in all directions..
“Hmm!”
“This, this···.”
The power of a predator that has evolved by hunting down vampires from numerous dimensions and collecting their vampire factors..
Brokoslak's vampires retreated unconsciously due to the instinctive intimidation..
And Mulo was also affected by that momentum..
Heinz, who smiled coldly at that hard face, became a ray of wind and flew towards him..
***
“Block it!”
“Too strong...—!”
Mulo frowned as he looked at the situation in front of him..
This was his territory that had been strengthened over a long period of time..
Summoned blood relatives become much stronger than on the outside, and enemies become weaker due to all kinds of debuffs..
His blood magic added to it was also enough to tear the opponent to pieces..
however···
‘what? How on earth?’
His subordinates fell like leaves in a cold wind, and his magic strangely did not have much of an effect on Heinz..
Although the subordinates who received assistance from the barrier continued to regenerate even after their heads were cut off and their hearts exploded, if things continued like this, only meaningless consumption would continue..
In particular, the biggest problem was that they could not keep up with Heinz's fast speed..
‘That won't work. We need resources that can keep up with his speed..’
Even his firepower support had its limits..
If the front line is breached like this, the situation will get worse, so it was necessary to prepare countermeasures right away..
“···come to me obor—!”
After sighing deeply and reciting the spell, a puddle of blood formed again in front of Mulo..
And there, a white-haired boy slowly appeared..
“···What's this? Why did you suddenly call me, Rod? No, but why is the situation here like this?!”
'Obor Brokoslak', who was called by the sudden call, looked around in confusion, but following Mulo's command, he immediately stepped forward to tie Heinz's feet..
It was only after Jinhyeol, which could keep up with Heinz's speed, was deployed that the balance of the battlefield was barely maintained..
‘Who would have thought that Freesia would become that strong?···.’
Even though Obor participated and all the other vampires except him rushed to deal with her, all he could do was tie up Phrygia's feet..
Despite the fact that the weakening effect of the barrier has been properly applied, we are fighting against a group of vampires who are much stronger than before..
“Indeed, it seems like you have the qualifications to say something so arrogant..”
I felt like I had to push myself a little harder..
Mulo muttered lowly with a stern expression and slowly took a deep breath..
***
Kwaaang—!
Heinz trampled and crushed the blood-red thorns rising from the floor, and at the same time blocked the boy's hand blade as he quickly approached..
“shit! Why is this guy’s body so hard?!”
The white-haired boy, Obor Brokoslak, became angry and clung to Heinz again..
My pride was hurt by the fact that even holding onto the opponent's feet was difficult despite the rod's reinforcement, but I had no time to worry about that now..
Incredible strength and a solid body are the basics, as well as strange blood magic of unknown origin, speed that even an assassin-type Jinhyeol would be amazed by, and the ability to hide his presence..
With that ability, every time he was able to momentarily outsmart him and rush towards Rod, it was enough to make me feel cold..
‘Plus, you're giving off some strange energy! What is this? mental attack?’
Obor's brow furrowed at the intimidating effect of a predator on a vampire..
It didn't have much of an impact on him as a Jinhyeol, but he was constantly distracted by the subtle discomfort he felt during the extreme battle..
But dealing with them was definitely not easy for Heinz..
‘This is a fight against a magician who has properly established his territory. As expected, dealing with two Jinhyeol inside the barrier is tricky..’
During the fight with Obor, he once again combined “Concealment” and “Invisibility” to hide his presence and even used “Acceleration” to approach Mulo.···.
Sigh—
At that moment, a mist of blood rising from all directions stuck to Heinz and stopped him for a split second..
And that split second was enough time for Obor to react..
Kwaang!
“no use! Where are you going?!”
Obor, who had been briefly defeated, was caught by the ankle again and a battle broke out..
I tried many different methods, but it was impossible to surprise Muloman from inside the barrier..
‘After all, I have no choice but to break in from the front. A wizard who confines himself to his own territory is a troublesome being..’
If it had not been possible to 'ignore some of the hostile abilities of other vampires' by preying on Earth's vampires, it would probably have been a very difficult situation..
Thanks to this ability, which not only has the weakening effect of the barrier, but is also excellent against magic such as blood magic, I was able to continue the battle more easily..
at that time.
Through his keen senses, “Seeing Through” and “Mystery of Blood,” an abnormality was detected all at once..
The weak weakening effect that bound her disappeared, and Phrygia, who had been tied down by the vampires on one side, quickly overwhelmed them..
On the other hand, Obor, who was rushing at him, lost strength momentarily and a gap was exposed..
He reflexively inserted his blood-covered fist into the gap and analyzed the situation..
‘The effect of the barrier has disappeared? Why all of a sudden?’
The moment Obor was struck by his blow and bounced away surrounded by blood-red petals, the answer to that question was immediately apparent..
The split-second moment when you are defenseless right after a successful attack..
Without any sign—Mulo appeared next to him..
At that ghost-like appearance, I used “Acceleration” and retreated without any further thought.···.
Shukwak!
Wow—!
Blood flowed in the air..
“···You're quick too.”
Mulo, who attacked, was crying and laughing..
“This is difficult..”
Heinz frowned and muttered lowly..
Although he had moved back a long way in response to the attack, he never looked fine..
Even though I reacted instantaneously... the part of my right arm below the elbow was torn off..
And the arm.
Mulo's long, sharp nails were held in one hand..
