My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness - Chapter 122
#122
Eupersch Clan (1)
Talaria, the capital of the Kingdom of Thalia.
“Ugh—.”
For the past two days, Bricky’s nerves have been extremely sensitive.
As I was lying on the bed in Duke Bright’s VIP room as usual, just spending time with the world, there was a glimpse that briefly passed by.
‘Are you just passing by? ‘Just a coincidence?’
It was only a moment, but her transcendent senses were able to clearly capture something ominous.
It was a problem that could have been dismissed as just an illusion because it disappeared so quickly that it was hard to detect, but…
Her intuition was a kind of power-like ability that bordered on precognition to some extent.
Even the feeling at that time was something she had already felt several times over the many years she had lived.
‘Right now… I’m not sure. I feel like I can feel something, but I don’t think it will be a problem right away.’
But even so, I still had no choice but to react sensitively.
That’s because… it was the Immortal King’s ‘death’ energy that I had felt several times before.
“…hmm?”
Her nervous body suddenly stopped and her eyes slowly turned in one direction.
Bricky was just staring at the empty wall…
The next moment, he was already in front of Mulo’s office door.
Thump thump thump—
“Mullo? “Don’t go in for a moment.”
She knocked lightly on the door and without waiting for the other person to answer, she opened the door and went inside.
“…Briki? …welcome.”
Although it was a sudden visit, Mulo, who was not angry as she was the other person, greeted her with an awkward expression.
However, when he saw Bricky entering the office with a stern expression, he couldn’t help but harden his face as well.
“Mulo? “It would be best to prepare for battle right now.”
“Is there a problem? “I can’t believe Bricky came out like this…”
Even as he said this, he immediately ordered an emergency call to nearby clan members.
If she, who has always been so carefree to the point of disbelief, shows up like that, it wouldn’t be an ordinary incident.
“…Um, how should I explain this…”
While Mulo was busy moving around like that, Bricky, whose expression relaxed again, crossed his arms and began to think.
There isn’t really any basis, so how can I explain that it’s because I was sensitive and then suddenly felt anxious?
Of course, her intuition itself was a strong basis, but…
“Ah, if you tell me to prepare, I will prepare, but you’re saying a lot! “I wonder if I’m talking nonsense.”
In the end, she just grumbled and scolded Mulo.
And at the same time.
In the direction she was looking, where the city of La Perla is located—.
The blood gate opened and the vampires of the Upersh Clan were quickly gathering.

“…very unpleasant.”
This was the impression I made about Bisque Eupersche right after I first moved to the city of La Perla.
From immediately after that, his frown showed no signs of loosening.
I was unable to maintain my composure at all as I felt as if an unknown discomfort was creeping up from under my feet and grabbing me by the back of my head.
‘what? ‘Why do I feel this way?’
It feels like someone is watching, but that doesn’t mean he can’t figure out where it’s coming from even with his senses.
He just felt frustrated, and it was the first feeling of alienation he had experienced since inheriting the Holy Blood.
‘Is it ominous? By entering Brokoslak’s territory? …This Eupersch is only that good of an opponent?’
At the time when Bisque was contemplating alone.
“…road? “Is there a problem?”
A person who was busy checking the vampires under his command approached him with a group and spoke to him.
The clan’s second-in-command, Theodor Jupersch, who oversaw this operation, and the other three Jinhyeols.
“No, it’s okay. “Are all preparations completed?”
“Yes that’s right. Jinhyeol four, pureblood forty-four. “They are all elite, so they will be able to clear out Brokoslag in no time.”
The elite unit of the Eupersch Clan, comprised only of purebloods or higher.
Even the one who led them was the Holy Blood Bisque Eupersch, which was enough power to wipe out Thalia’s palace.
Of course, the strong ones were dispersed and Brokoslak, who was unaware of anything and was on guard, could not do anything.
“There is no need to say much. “We’ll head straight to Talaria before they notice and clean up the bastards today.”
“Yes!”
Bisque shook off the discomfort he continued to feel and thought only about his goal.
Just hit Brokoslak’s lord in Talaria.
And as soon as he finished speaking….
Food!
Paddadadak—
A large flock of bats crossed the night sky at high speed.
***
At the halfway point between the capital city of Talaria and the city of La Perla, a black human figure was floating several kilometers in the sky.
Hwioo-
The Absolute One buried in the night sky, engulfed in darkness, looking down upon the earth.
It was Hans, the immortal king.
‘It’s starting to move.’
The Kingdom of Thalia, ruled from deep within by the Brokoslak Clan, was an important base in many ways.
Aside from the symbolic meaning of being the place that announced the beginning of the Outerica dimension, being able to control a kingdom through Heinz had greater meaning than expected.
Even though it is a weak country on the periphery, it is a natural fact that since it has an international status, it must be managed with more care than Tarak, where Hubert and others are located.
In addition, it was also the center of an information organization that was just being established, so its importance went without saying.
[Kuuuuu—Is this just the beginning?]
That was the reason why the Immortal King, who had reached the peak of magic, came forward in person, hid his presence, and waited.
As if monitoring the ground with a satellite, the “eyes of the abyss” examine all situations below one by one.
‘Actually, it’s probably better for Hans not to come forward.’
Originally, it would have been most natural for only King Heinz II to intervene in this matter.
The undead under Hans were able to attract the attention of those around them just by moving, and Heinrich was unable to escape from the sacred site at will.
Harley was in the midst of grappling with monsters in the Iron Citadel, and Harris was in the faraway Enamel Continent…
‘Not to mention Howard, who is still only a novice craftsman, and Hubert, who is in the midst of recuperation.’
Additionally, there was a concern that if other avatars were brought in and became related to each other, the scope of movement would be reduced in the future.
but.
‘Because there is nothing we can do about it now.’
Okay, leaving all of those issues aside…
I can’t just sit back and sit idly by when Heinz’s house is about to be robbed while Heinz is away!
‘But this time, there is a causal connection between Harley being attacked by a business partner, so there will not be much suspicion.’
Of course, some may wonder how such information was obtained, but there was no obligation to disclose such information.
‘But…’
Hans’ gaze turned towards Talaria and the image of Harley appeared in his eyes.
Our barbarian warrior, who is majestic anytime and anywhere… was once again caught by the capital guards and being inspected.
I understand that you’re overreacting to that unique appearance, but how many times has this happened…
‘If it wasn’t for the church’s letter of introduction, I almost wouldn’t have been able to move properly.’
Even in Tarak, which can be said to be his base, there are countless people who feel intimidated whenever they see Harley.
How much more difficult would it be in a place he was unfamiliar with?
Since his mere presence was enough to intimidate everyone around him, it was only natural that he would be monitored and inspected.
‘…It won’t matter as long as it doesn’t interfere with starting work.’
Hans took a quick glance there and then looked back at Duke Bright.
‘Anyway, vampires suddenly started gathering in the mansion. Did Seonghyeol notice something?’
I recognized it from the moment I first noticed its presence, but as expected from its name, there was something unusual about it.
At that time, I had just moved through space, so hiding my energy wasn’t perfect, but that didn’t mean I could underestimate his ability to notice his presence.
Because of that, I’m still hiding myself more than usual.
‘With this, the odds of winning go up. At this point, we can check out the abilities of those strengthened with “Refined Blood Essence.” Fortunately, thanks to the Precious Blood, the balance has been achieved to some extent.’
I don’t know when the Holy Blood ‘Brokoslak’ came, but thanks to him, I was equipped with the personnel to oppose Bisque Eupersch.
We were already outgunned, and if we didn’t have the Holy Blood, it would have been cut down pointlessly regardless of whether it had been strengthened with the “Refined Blood Essence” or Harley had intervened.
‘Then Hans would have had no choice but to intervene.’
As much as I wanted to avoid that, I could say that this was a development I quite liked.
Hans’ eyes then turned to a swarm of bats moving quickly across the sky.
It was a frightening force, with one pure blood, four true blood, and over 40 purebloods.
His eyes were only focused on one of them.
‘…Is that him?’
The opponent was not a pure blood nor a true blood, but he was a more special opponent than anyone else.
That’s right, that guy was the one who turned Hubert’s intestines into a mush and brought him to the brink of death.
Because he was an assassin vampire with red hair and red eyes.
Although it was now in the form of a bat, it had already been imprinted in Hans’ eyes from the moment it arrived in La Perla City.
So that I never lose sight of him, no matter where he runs off to later.
[Hehehe… Revenge is the sweetest fruit in the world. It’s finally time to avenge the resentment engraved in my bones. Your fate has already been decided, so there will be no use in struggling.]
The bat’s wings seemed to falter for a moment under Hans’ persistent gaze… but
now he was hiding his presence more thoroughly than ever, so it was probably just his mood. will be.

“Ah, those gentlemen are really persistent. “Who is a good citizen like me that keeps bothering you like this?”
Harley, who was released by the capital guards, scratched the back of her head and walked through the night streets of Talaria.
Of course, instead of the one that was tattered from the fight with the dragon, on his head was a demonic head made of a god, so his hands could only scratch the tough leather.
‘Oh my gosh, I need to be careful with my strength. It was a new product that I guessed the best, but I almost tore the leather.’
Harley slowly lowered her thick, muscled forearms and looked around carefully.
As it is a city ruled by vampires, there is no curfew, so even though it was quite late, there were quite a few people walking through the streets at night.
‘It’s probably more convenient without a curfew to be able to do whatever you want at night.’
He leisurely admired the new scenery and watched the people passing by.
Of course, there was no need to mention that the people passing by also saw the Harley.
“Oh my… are they barbarians? No Southerner?”
“Wow, this is my first time seeing someone walking around dressed like that.”
“What muscles… Shhh, look this way! “Don’t make eye contact!”
Now, scenes from the past that could not be seen in Tarak, his base, were being reproduced here.
From people whispering to people frowning or clicking their tongues.
Seeing them after such a long time made me feel nostalgic.
‘It’s been a while since I’ve experienced it, so it’s refreshing. Thanks to my sincere smile, things like this rarely happen in Tarak anymore.’
But if I was uncomfortable with that kind of attention, I wouldn’t have walked around dressed like this in the first place.
“Hmmmm!”
Harley, the person of interest, confidently walked down the main street barefoot, showing off her naked upper body muscles and tattoos, heading to her destination.
It was late at night and the crowds were slowly starting to decrease.
While even the paragliders on the street were quietly avoiding him, the place his steps were heading towards
was… the mansion of the Bright Duke family, which seemed to be the same as usual but seemed to have a strangely uneasy aura about it.
