My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness - Chapter 124
#124
Eupersch Clan (3)
Since all the work to link up with the Hubert Company under Heinz’s orders went through his hands, Mulo was able to immediately recognize the identity of Harley who suddenly invaded.
Of course, this was the first time he found out…
‘I think those arms are dragon scales. Was it really a dragon person? I guess that’s why he was able to break through my barrier so naturally. I don’t know how I found out and came here.’
Moreover, looking at the situation, it seemed that they had come specifically targeting the Eupersch Clan.
Given the situation, sudden support from a powerful person should be welcomed.
He put aside his complicated thoughts and began to think about how he could take advantage of the current situation.
But at that time, besides Mulo, there were other people who understood Harley’s words and frowned.
It was Theodor Eupersch, who ordered the assassination, and Klein, a pure-blooded vampire, who carried out the work himself.
“…Kline.”
“Huh— Te Theodore! I completely erased all traces! Please believe me!”
“There is someone chasing you right now, are you going to turn away?”
“That is…”
Klein, who was moving as thoroughly as usual, showed an aggrieved expression, but Theodore just glared at him.
Even so, I was getting on my nerves because the operation had gone astray in many ways, but I guess things got even more complicated because of my subordinate who failed to properly follow up on the mission.
The behind-the-scenes work that was done to make the operation easier had the opposite effect, so I was already having a hard time figuring out how to make an excuse to Bisque afterwards.
‘Even if Klein was discovered, he came here through blood ties. ‘How on earth did they find out we were here?’
It wasn’t normal that he was able to come here right at this time.
Unless Brokoslak noticed something and made a plan in advance…
‘Could it have been a self-inflicted action that touched Hubert? Because of that, our operation was discovered in advance? No, their preparation is not that thorough to say that. Even now, we still have the upper hand. Then…’
Naturally, Theodore, who was in charge of all the planning, couldn’t help but feel confused.
Of course, whatever they thought, it wasn’t that important to Harley.
Pop! Gigiikik—!
Metallic sounds leaked out from the extremely compressed muscles, and “biological aura” and “madness” burned like flames throughout the body.
The dark red scales of the dragon began to cover the luminous engraving, and red and green lights glowed from its sharp, reptile-like eyes.
“ha-.”
Shhh!
Pure white steam mixed with exhaled breath spread out.
The cells of his entire body, which had already entered combat mode, were also activated to the extreme, consuming energy non-stop and spewing out water vapor along with a haze.
“Kuh…Keuhahahaha—!”
Laughter bursts out involuntarily as madness eats away at the body.
The expressions of the vampires gradually hardened as his light roared through the space.
In response to his emotions, the surrounding mana fluctuated violently, and the madness scattered in the air sympathized with him.
“The one who executed and the one who gave the order… no, you are all just one gang! “I will make you feel in your bones what the price is for messing with our Hubert!”
The barbarian berserker Harley, who caught their attention, laughed fiercely and rushed towards the Eupersch Clan.
The war between vampires stopped for a while.
It resumed with a Yongin intervening.
***
Holy Blood is said to be the pinnacle of Outerica vampires, but their abilities are not properly known.
That is to say, all the sacred blood were the progenitors of each blood lineage, and there are not many of them left in the present era.
The clan whose veins were cut off early became a weak force, and the clans that remained for a long time became the top three in the current vampire world.
Eupersch, Brokoslak and Obaipo.
Among them, Eupersch was a case in which the generational change of the Seonghyeol was successfully completed. If the other two bloodlines could not inherit the Seonghyeol, there
was a strong possibility that their monopoly would continue in future generations.
Pajijit—!
Of course, that was a meaningless assumption now that the two Holy Bloods were facing off head-on.
Anyone who loses here will disappear into the back of history.
Their fight was both static and dynamic.
-Bisque reached out and squeezed Bricky’s neck.
-She cut off his shoulder to prevent him from reaching in the first place.
-He took a step to the side to avoid cutting his shoulder and cut off the leg of Bricky who was following him.
-She delayed her entry timing by one beat and plunged the bloody spear into Bisque’s heart.
Pajijit—!
In each other’s thoughts, time axes and cause and effect became entangled, momentum and blood magic collided, and sparks continued to fly at the border of perception.
“Oh my, how can I do this? “My subordinates are being squeezed by that dashing young man. Shouldn’t I go and have a look?”
“Hmph, at least their henchmen are so weak that it’s not like they’ll collapse right away. “Because my subordinates are capable.”
“You can’t act smug when you gain the upper hand by attacking suddenly.”
“Hide your own weaknesses and catch the opponent off guard. Isn’t that the way of the world? “The one who reacted complacently was at fault.”
On the outside, it looked like they were just standing facing each other and arguing, but they were already engaged in an intense invisible battle right after they met.
If someone else enters that realm without knowing it, they will instantly turn to dust without even knowing how they will die.
-Briki, who dodged Bisque’s attack, counterattacked and smashed his head.
-He instead burrowed into her arms and pierced her heart.
-She reached out her hand at the moment Bisque entered and bound him with blood magic.
-He didn’t go in, but instead cut off Bricky’s outstretched hand.
-And she…
. “Ssssssssssssssssssssssssss
…?”
She, who had been contemplating a sudden headache, flinched without realizing it.
That moment was very fleeting, but it was very fatal in their fight…
Pajijit— sigh—!
It soon became a reality.
Blood spattering and Bricky’s right arm cut off and floating in the air.
But that scene didn’t last long.
As if time had been rewound, the blood scattered in the air was sucked into the cross section, and the severed arm flew naturally and was seamlessly joined together.
“Tch…”
She came to her senses again and massaged her right arm.
Of course, it was just fine on the outside, but there was no way that it would suffer any damage after being pushed into a fight between the Holy Bloods.
By allowing the attack just now, she had suffered a significant blow not only to a significant amount of her vampire factor, but also to her mental power and vitality and other sources.
The aftermath will probably have a significant impact on future fights.
“Huh… I thought it was Brokoslag, but of course it was. “You’re really overdoing it right now, aren’t you?”
And Bisque, who had finally gained the upper hand, looked at her meaningfully with a wry smile.
‘If it were in its prime, this arrangement wouldn’t have been a big deal…’
Bricky frowned slightly as he sensed the weakness.
They chose to hibernate to survive as long as possible, but their lifespan is already nearing its limit.
Also, she woke up abnormally from hibernation, so her current condition was absolutely not normal.
Due to a number of negative factors, our capabilities had been reduced to a disastrous level compared to our prime…
In the battle of thoughts that continued for a long time, we ended up revealing our weaknesses without even realizing it.
“But it’s still good enough to deal with a novice like you?”
“Hehehe, now that it’s time to die, my bravado has only increased. Do you think such a bluff would work on me?”
As he said, there were limits to making up for the lack of capabilities with mature skills.
Mulo’s barrier could not have any effect on them as they were holy blood, so they had to fight with only their own abilities, but the mistake just made tipped the scales significantly.
‘I may be able to endure it for a while, but I can’t guarantee when time will pass…’
Bricky, who maintained a calm expression on the outside, broke into a cold sweat and gritted his teeth on the inside.
I couldn’t show my shame to other children, so I promised myself that I would do as much as I could.
And when the battle of the Holy Blood continues on the outside in an extremely static manner.
There was a battlefield that was more intense than any other battlefield—.
This was where Harley was going crazy.
“Hahaha! It’s really tough! “It’s tearing apart!”
“What a monster!”
“Don’t overdo it! “The strange energy it uses worsens its regenerative power!”
There are as many as three Jinhyeol opposing him.
Everyone except Theodore had rushed in to stop it.
After some of the purebloods who had attacked him without knowing what to do were torn apart, it was only when the three Jinhyeols joined in one by one that he was finally able to maintain balance.
“Haha! Where are you going? come here!”
“…shit!”
They tried to keep Harley in check by avoiding direct confrontation as much as possible, but there was a limit to how they could avoid him due to his high speed.
In the end, Jinhyeol, who took over as the lineman because he was the most durable and resilient, gritted his teeth and raised his blood magic again.
His whole body was already covered in shock-absorbing blood, but he knew from experience that he had already been hit several times.
Sigh!
“Whoosh!”
All these defenses would not last long in that merciless grasp.
The blood armor that had hardened and protected against external shocks was broken, and the body inside was crushed and blood splattered.
But at that moment.
“Stop now… Be still, you monster!”
The blood that splattered from his body instantly turned into several vines that wrapped around Harley’s body and were firmly anchored to the surrounding space.
‘Considering his power, this won’t last long…!’
Even if it was only a few seconds, it was enough time for his colleagues.
“Search!”
“…!”
The big red devil’s hand aimed at Harley’s back with its sharp fingertips, and with a silent attack, the male and female sharply decapitated him.
Kwazijic! Wow!
Hard dragon scales cracking and blood splashing.
Jinhyeol’s attack with all his might caused fatal damage to his body.
There was a large wound on his back that exposed the bones, and about half of his neck was cut off, causing blood to pour out like a waterfall.
If it was a normal opponent… or even if it was a dragon, there was bound to be a significant loss in combat power at this level.
Clud-clack-
Harley’s body possesses “super regeneration”.
It was restored in an instant, as if turning back time.
“…Was Yongin originally that regenerative?”
“You have to have seen it to know. … shit.”
Seeing that sight, the Jinhyeol of Eupersch took a breath and gritted their teeth.
With that level of regenerative power, it was even better than those of true vampires.
Because the Yongin race was so rare, not much was known about it, but I still knew that it was not as common as mine.
“The blood of a dragon. Let’s check it out… Sigh! Hehe! Ugh.”
Jinhyeol, who licked Harley’s blood from his hand, frowned and retched.
“What’s this? Is the blood of a dragon really like this? “This is dirtier than monster blood!”
I expected it to be dragon blood that cannot be easily tasted, but his blood was so mixed and deteriorated that it was impossible to eat.
Isn’t this better than monster blood?
“It’s dirty! “That’s harsh!”
Harley, who had already fully recovered from that harsh evaluation, grunted in displeasure.
Who can find someone as healthy and clean as you!
Of course, due to the nature of the body, which consumes a lot of energy, it only eats meat, but…
‘Anyway, the three Jinhyeols are still a bit picky. No matter how much the efficiency has improved, it is not 100% digested with the heart of the light dragon, so there is nothing we can do about it.’
In addition, the average combat power of the Jinhyeol of Eupersch was higher than that of Brokoslag.
If it hadn’t been strengthened with [Refined Blood Essence], it wouldn’t have been a match for him.
‘Now that we’ve strengthened… we might be able to gain a slight advantage. Still, I never thought the level difference would be this much. ‘I understand why Brokoslak was stuck in the periphery despite being in the top three.’
Even so, it could be said that he barely saved his face by swallowing up a small kingdom through a long period of work.
Harley relaxed slightly and took a closer look at her surroundings again.
I checked beyond the three Jinhyeol who were tense and preparing for battle under his gaze, and also checked other battlefields.
Thanks to him holding on to many Jinhyeol, the rest of the battlefield was going much easier.
Frisia, who faced Theodor Jupersch one-on-one, was doing quite well against him, who previously would not have been a fight.
Mulo was leading his clan members and smoothly pushing back against the purebloods over 40.
He could see the assassin who was his first target among them, but revenge would have to be postponed until later.
however.
‘Oh, but…is it okay over there?’
In fact, it is the fight between the Holy Bloods that is the most important.
A crack was forming that would determine the direction of this battlefield.
