My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 93

#93

variable (3)

[Hey, this is an unexpected income..]

The inheritance was not a material thing such as any wealth or magic tools..

The first Immortal King turned half of the continent into a land of death, and the second destroyed an empire..

It was a feat that no matter how strong he was, he could not possibly have accomplished it alone..

‘Of course he had subordinates following him..’

In the first place, there was no way he could have conquered the continent on his own..

It would have been possible because there were people assisting him with advanced thinking, rather than simple undead following orders..

‘According to the will of the Immortal King, the immortal army is at the forefront of conquering the continent..’

They were the ones who once turned half of the continent into a land of death, a legacy left behind by the Immortal King to future generations..

Due to their nature, their power was bound to become stronger as the war continued..

The soldiers who fought valiantly against the endless army of corpses became part of them after they died..

Naturally, the leadership of the continent, including the main religious order, chose to organize a death squad and directly target the head, and in the end, after countless sacrifices, the operation was successful..

It is the same in both cases when the Immortal King calls out..

‘That's how great the continent's potential can be seen. Because the second generation suffered greatly despite paying great attention to their own safety in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of their predecessors..’

So, the scale of damage suffered by the continent itself was two generations less, but the number of strong people sacrificed to overcome the executives protecting the Immortal King was much higher..

‘Anyway, in the end, the army under the Immortal King collapsed..’

What mattered here was their whereabouts..

Most of them were subjugated by the angry continental people, but there were quite a few who escaped at the discretion of the person leading the unit..

There were times when he blindly hid in remote areas, and there were times when he created a dungeon and locked himself in it..

And the method chosen by many of them is···.

‘Sealing yourself on the border with the abyss.’

Not on the ground or in the abyss, but somewhere along the border.

It was a dimensional gap, drifting meaninglessly in unobservable time..

At the time, the dimensional wall was weakened by countless scratches all over the world, and since they were undead, the method that was possible was the safest and most uncertain method..

I was able to avoid the continental people, but there was no guarantee when I would wake up..

They would sleep like that forever until the next immortal king was born and brought them out..

‘But someone happened to open the abyss?’

It didn't just weaken the wall, it even made a hole in it..

[Ah—I can feel it. They are asleep on the edge. There's still quite a bit left on the ground....]

What the immortal king's thoughts left behind was not just information..

To put it bluntly, it was closer to handing over the original contract..

If I had been devoured by the heart from the beginning and had become one with them, I would have realized it naturally, but after blocking it at the source, I only realized it now..

‘I wish I knew by now. Even if I knew in advance anyway, I wouldn’t have been able to do anything until the abyss opened..’

It's not a good thing that the abyss has opened, but since it's open, shouldn't we take care of everything we can?.

[···On top of that, we've been delayed quite a bit, so I'm not sure if they're still around..]

It's a great law that has had such an impact on the continent, but you probably aren't the only one who notices it..

Those who did it probably know that fact best, so they probably left the place as soon as they achieved their goal..

‘But that doesn't mean you can't avoid going..’

First, Hans needed to check the scene for himself..

He concentrated on the spot and traced the flow of energy again..

It seemed like the ritual was over, but I didn't feel any violent movement like before.···.

It was a matter of no concern to him..

Whoa whoa—

Immense dark magic concentrated in an instant and arranged according to Hans' will..

The mystery thus constructed became a thick darkness that enveloped his body..

[I wish there was still something left.]

Immortal King Hans headed to the southern part of the continent..

***

The basement of the Great Temple of Picaol where the Holy Sword was sealed..

Cheek—

slick—!

‘But it's still like this. Shouldn't it end once the holy sword is drawn??’

For some reason, the pain burning Heinrich's grip and the sparks running through his body continued without end..

He still held the holy sword in his hand tightly and gazed quietly at the turbulent abyss..

If it were someone else who didn't know what was going on outside, he would have been taken aback by this sudden situation, but he had already grasped the situation and was thinking about a response..

‘I think it's affected by the abyss that opened this time..’

It may be because the seal was weakened as the holy sword was removed by him..

When the saint said, ‘The Great Temple is enough,’ she probably did not take into account the current situation where the abyss has opened..

Then the simplest solution would be to plunge the holy sword into the abyss again..

profit···

At that time, the sound that continued to resonate from my palm gradually began to stop..

The energy of the holy sword that had been violently moving around inside the body and breaking things here and there had suddenly calmed down..

《The entity has achieved enlightenment by achieving the condition. Acquire the special skill “Blessing: Holy Sword”.》

When I slowly opened both hands that were holding the handle, I saw that the stigmata of the Main Church was engraved on my palms like a brand..

‘The energy that entered my body also settled stably. I guess it wasn't just a test, but a process of fully accepting the Holy Sword.?’

Heinrich continued to watch out for the abyss and examined “Blessing: Holy Sword”.

‘Not only can you strengthen your attack power and body with the energy of the holy sword, but you can also change shape freely, and the stigmata on your palm even have a subspace function.?’

There was no need to mention its quality as a weapon and its ability to amplify divine power..

It can be said to be the highest quality weapon available that cannot be compared to any magical tool..

You can't even find stuff like this anywhere..

But there's no way I could give up the holy sword just because of such a small abyss, right?!

‘There is no way. What's in my hands is already mine.’

In the first place, he had come to retrieve the holy sword at the saint's order..

I didn't even consider the option of giving up on this from the beginning..

In addition, there is a barrier in the Great Temple, so an abyss like that cannot have any special effect.···.

Gulp, gulp, gulp.~!

At that moment, the abyss suddenly begins to shake violently..

Even though the surrounding barrier continued to emit light, its size had increased slightly compared to before..

and finally···.

Phuwak—!

Something came out of the abyss.

Grinding—!

At the same time, pure white lightning from the surrounding barrier attacked it..

Following this, numerous sacred barriers begin to activate simultaneously..

‘After all, the main church can't be that lax. Everything was prepared. But that···.’

In the bouncing white light, an arm sticking out of the abyss continued to wriggle under the subsequent attacks..

[Ugh—what is this? After all, in a place like this!]

A sound like scraping metal rang out from a hole in the abyss..

‘huh?’

It felt something familiar.

[Wow... dirty religious bastards. But I can't give up like this!]

Phuwak!

The other hand popped out as if tearing a hole in the abyss..

The attack became more intense, but the guy didn't stop, even though his arms were shaking..

[Hmm... since I'm back···.]

Soon, the upper body slowly began to rise..

He also had a very familiar appearance to Heinrich..

Because we were fighting with him just a little while ago..

‘Acrich appeared in the third trial?’

In fact, it only looks like a tattered robe and bones, but isn't there still a feeling?.

In addition, he now had new information obtained from an unexpected situation..

The results of Hans' analysis based on Heinrich's observations emerged immediately..

‘Dwell McCain, he was in the immortal king's personal guard..’

This guy was one of the bodyguards that the previous Immortal King had stationed around him to prepare for the death squad..

His ranking was roughly in the top 50, and he was more talented at commanding troops than fighting against people, so rather than fighting on his own, he used a large number of undead to keep the army in check..

[Somehow get out of here... yeah?]

At that time, Acrich Dwell, who was crawling out of the hole, met Heinrich's eyes..

“······.”

[······.]

After a moment of silence.

Dwell, who made eye contact with him, slowly turned his head, looked around, and began to look Heinrich up and down again..

A space filled with the patterns and prayers of the main denomination and a space exuding a pious energy..

The pressure of the sacred barrier pounding on his body without stopping,···.

Even the hero quietly looking down at him while holding the holy sword right in front of him..

There was no way he wouldn't recognize the sword that was like the symbol of that hero..

How many of our colleagues were cut off by that and will forget that?.

In the end, even the immortal king he followed fell to that sword, and had no choice but to hide himself and hide himself..

To make a promise for the future.

however.

Just as I was about to seize the opportunity I had been waiting for for a long time and escape from the border, I encountered someone who seemed to be a hero of the time..

[···Oh my, it's like a dog···.]

It was a situation where he had no choice but to curse..

While Dwell was unable to do this or that, Heinrich was quietly looking at him and organizing his thoughts..

‘Did you drift past the boundary and get sucked up by the influence of the opening of the abyss? The reason he appeared in the trial was because the Holy Sword read the information about the guy who was wandering around nearby.?’

Plus, the guy's situation was terrible..

It's good that we escaped the border naturally, but we ended up in the middle of the main temple where the holy sword was sealed..

No matter how lucky you were to escape this place, you would have been destroyed before you could even take a single step outside the main temple..

Daesinjeon was such a place from the beginning..

[Ugh... Damn it! Why doesn't this go in?···.]

At that time, Dwell, who had noticed Heinrich's notice, quickly tried to go back into the hole and let out a frustrated sigh..

They decided that the situation was not good and chose to seal it again, but even that failed..

The passage he came out of has already become a one-way street due to the force of being pulled up from below..

Now I'm really stranded..

‘Unfortunately, we'll have to deal with it here..’

It was a waste to deal with him like this because he could have been Hans' subordinate, but there was nothing we could do in the current situation..

Even if you let him live as you wish, you will not be able to escape this place anyway and will be dealt with, so it was better to end it with your own hands..

‘hmm? That is?’

Just as Heinrich was grabbing the holy sword to deal with the bastard, something familiar caught his eye between Acrich's robes..

I've already seen that once too.

It was the source of the Acrich he had once destroyed..

‘Well, he probably summoned the source, took care of it, and then hid behind the border. Otherwise there is no point in hiding. ...Wait a minute, if that's what it is···.’

When I saw that, a good idea occurred to me..

Heinrich smiled meaningfully and slowly raised his sword as he approached the guy..

‘With the blessing of 'increasing amount', divine power like a thunderstorm rushed into the holy sword, and the blessings of 'light sword' and 'holy sword' combined to create a brilliant golden light on the sword body..

and.

He rushed at Dwell and swung his sword..

[A cursed slave of the Lord...! Do you think I'll end up this easily?!]

Of course, deep black magic spewed out from the body of this guy who couldn't just sit there, but the situation was very different from the time of the ordeal..

crunchy—!

Because it is the center of the great temple, he cannot summon the undead, and the energy of the sacred barrier rushes in from all directions and bites him non-stop..

Heinrich, who had just been released from the seal and was not in good shape, and who had obtained the holy sword, cut off the black magic he had already dealt with like radish.···.

[···Wow! shit—!]

In the end, it was unable to resist much and was consumed by the sacred flames, turning it into a pile of ashes..

Leaving only one source behind.

“Let's see···.”

Heinrich walked slowly and picked up the source of smoke lying on the floor..

If we leave it like this, instead of being revived, it will naturally disappear due to the power of this space..

Ugh···

That wasn't what Heinrich wanted..

He recalled his newly acquired knowledge and raised his divine power..

And after using the “Auterica Holy Technique” by applying the sacred power management technique included in the “Logia Holy Fighting Technique”—.

‘···done. As expected, the seniors are great..’

It was possible to ‘seal’ the source of Acrich..

It was thanks to using the know-how of the “Logia Holy Fighting Method” to deal with beings that could not be killed right away..

Heinrich looked at the source, which was solidly crystallized and did not shed a single drop of dark magic, and put it into the 'stigmata' of his palm..

‘It's not that bulky, but not only the holy sword can be stored in this subspace. It would be a good gift for Hans..’

How affection blossoms in gifts that come and go.

Heinrich smiled happily and nodded slightly..

The fact that you both were yourself wasn't important right now..

Because it was a matter of mood.
