My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness - Chapter 128
#128
Precious Blood (3)
The moment he ascended the Precious Blood, Heinz II’s senses expanded endlessly.
The transcendent perception ability that led to synesthesia has surpassed its limits, and not only space but also time have become within reach—.
The spirit, heightened by the rise in rank, was able to sense some of the flow of cause and effect that filled the world.
‘I see… Is this the way the Holy Bloods have been fighting all this time?’
Heinz instinctively realized this.
If you pour a little more thought into it, you can touch on some of the edges of that flow.
‘It consumes a lot of mental power and is limited to the surrounding area where Heinz’s power can reach… If this were the case, he wouldn’t even dare to come into contact with a lowly being.’
Even before the opponent uses any means, the result is already ‘evasion’, and this attack is determined to be a ‘hit’ the moment it makes up its mind.
How on earth do you deal with someone like this?
‘If it weren’t for Bricky, it would have been difficult for Harley and Heinz to engage in a war of attrition…’
The fact that those two were able to continue their normal clash with Bisque Eupersch was all possible because of her check.
If she hadn’t been there, Hans, a being of a higher rank than Bisque, would have had no choice but to step forward.
I could say I was lucky in many ways.
And that luck was still continuing.
《The object grows by meeting the conditions. The skills “Concealment” and “Invisibility” are combined to evolve into the special skill “Denial of Existence.”》 As its
level increased with Holy Blood, it preyed on vampires from other dimensions and evolved by combining the two abilities it had stolen through “Mixed Blood Evolution.”
It’s an unusual skill, even from its name.
‘…This too was influenced by the power of the Precious Blood. A stealth skill that twists cause and effect to deny the very fact of being detected. It can be said that it has become superior in every way compared to before.’
It would have been nice if other skills had evolved as well, but hoping for that would be greedy.
Heinz calmed down the power boiling in his body and opened the object information window.
〈Individual Information〉
-Individual name: Heinz II
-Race: Vampire (Holy Blood)
-Common characteristics: 「Mind Herb」 「Persona」 「Mysterious Index」
-Individual characteristics: 「Blood Clan (Holy Blood)」 「Mixed Blood Evolution」 「Mystery of Blood」 「Refined Blood Essence」 「Denial of Existence」 「Acceleration」 「Super Regeneration」 「Seeing Through」
– Special Note: Using 「Mixed Blood Evolution」, he forcibly inherited the Holy Blood and achieved evolution. It is possible to exert some control over the ‘Eupersch’ blood vessel. All abilities have grown explosively, and it has become possible to manipulate part of the cause and effect.
‘Oh, I didn’t expect this.’
Dominion over vampires inherited from Eupersch’s blood.
It seems that as they feasted on the Precious Blood, their influence over it also came with it.
It was not a normal succession, but the authority was considerably reduced, so the modifier ‘a little’ was added…
‘I was planning on using the [Refined Blood Seal] anyway, so it wouldn’t matter. But thanks to you, things will be easier.’
It goes without saying that it is easier to deal with someone who can control things even a little than with someone who actively opposes and sharpens them.
Unlike the Brokoslag, the Eupersch were spread all over the continent, so I was worried about how to absorb them.
“after.”
When Heinz looked away with a smile of satisfaction.
He was able to make eye contact with Bricky, who had been looking at him with interest through half-closed eyes.
“Hehehe—isn’t that amazing as expected? This is my first time seeing a new blood being born. And that’s through predation on their own kind.”
Even when he sank his teeth into the back of Bisque Eupersch’s neck, and even as he climbed to the Holy Blood through cannibalism, she was the one who just watched quietly.
She must have known that if Heinz became holy blood, she would no longer be able to fight him as her condition was not normal.
‘Of course, Harley was on guard just in case, but she could have easily tried to interfere, but she just watched.’
At this point, it can be safely assumed that there are no hostile intentions.
Anyway, now that she has become Holy Blood, she won’t be able to do anything about Heinz.
“That’s my ability. But I also admit that I owe a lot to Bricky. “I will make sure to repay this debt.”
“Hmm—we were involved in this situation anyway, so just giving us a moment would be enough, right? “I have a lot of things I want to talk about.”
She answered leisurely, looking as limp as pickled cabbage.
Since I needed to know what her intentions were anyway, it was necessary to set up a place and have a serious conversation.
But now….
“Hahaha! This was such a rare sight. But now that my revenge is over, I think I’ll go back! “I gave up what I was doing and came here!”
Harley, who had been quietly watching, naturally came forward and greeted them.
Harley and Heinz’s joint operation was successfully completed, so it was time to disband the party.
“Yes, Harley. Thanks, it was a great help. “Let’s not forget this favor.”
“Oh, it’s no big deal! Because they touched my friend first. And isn’t that person on the same boat as Hubert Company? Wahaha!”
“Then please continue to treat me well. Hubert Company will pay more attention to this as well.”
“Thank you for doing so! “Then I’m done!”
Immediately after the conversation to show people around, Harley proudly disappeared out of the building through the door.
At the end of the fight, Mulo’s barrier was lifted, and since Heinz, who became Lord and Holy Blood, gave permission, there was no one to stop him.
“Hmm, is it okay if I just leave it like this? From his first appearance, he seemed suspicious in many ways…”
Bricky, whose eyes were almost closed now, mumbled in a sleepy voice.
“Okay. “I already have something in mind.”
Heinz lightly dismissed her concerns.
And Heinz sent her, who had now started to nod off while standing, back to the dorm first, and then moved on to clean up after her.
‘I’m going to be very busy for a while.’
From understanding the clan’s status immediately after the battle to managing the remnants of Eupersch and responding afterwards.
There was still a mountain of work left.
***
A long two-handed sword held in one hand and thick black armor covering the entire body.
The being had the shape of a human, but not a single one of those present considered him to be human.
Let alone the red glow that radiates from the corners of the eyes and the burning black magic, the dark aura of death that overwhelms just by looking at it is something that humans can never possess.
And above all, they were very aware of its existence.
Isn’t he like a legend to those who walk the path of the devil?
“…Death Knight Lord Karam.”
“You are the commander of the immortal army… How could such a monster be here…!”
Due to the sudden activation of the barrier, the area was cut off from the outside world and an attack was immediately launched.
All the defensive equipment laid out from the entrance was completely destroyed, and the chimeras and modified dark knights stationed as guards could not stop him even for a moment.
In such a situation, he eventually reached the center of the hideout in an instant, so the warlocks of the Tulk Kingdom branch of the Oath of Reverse Heaven had no choice but to be very nervous.
“…Recently, with the number of branches suddenly losing contact, it was thought that the denomination’s offensive had begun. “Could it have been done by the Immortal Army?”
Oldman, the branch leader in charge of this branch and one of the elders of the Oath of Yeokcheon, muttered softly and frowned.
The immortal army moved directly, which meant that the second coming of the immortal king was watching them—.
That meant that they had no choice but to scrap their plan, which was only meant to gain benefits between the continent and the Immortal King.
‘…Let’s think about that later. For now, delivering this news is the top priority. Considering it hasn’t been known for a while, it looks like they prepared quite thoroughly…’
After organizing his thoughts, he looked around confidently.
The Dark Knights lined up at the front in full line and the Warlocks already preparing their spells.
It was tens of thousands of pounds.
This is the central headquarters that oversees all branches of the Tulk Kingdom, and it was on a different level from other places where communication had been lost.
Although the entrance was breached in a sudden surprise attack, the people there were initially nothing more than arrow cannons placed to buy time.
In reality, it was the central headquarters that had completed thorough preparations during that time.
‘No matter how great Karam is, he has his limits on his own. Even if you summon low-level undead, there will be a limit.’
This was even their home base, and of course it was a place where layers of magic were installed to help defend the base.
Strengthening allies, weakening enemies, and all kinds of small black magic.
[Hoo—this is more than I thought.]
Karam, facing them, muttered softly.
Due to the influence of magic acting on the mind, their fear was removed and their concentration was raised to the limit, and their spirit was becoming sharp as a blade.
A satisfied smile spread across Oldman’s face at the sight of the elite unit not even afraid of death.
“I don’t know why the Immortal King is targeting us, but he came all the way in alone. We must have looked quite ridiculous, Karam! “You will pay for your arrogance!”
He confidently shouted in a voice full of confidence, gradually raising his dark magic and preparing for destruction magic.
No matter how thorough our preparations were, our opponent was a monster even in history books, so we needed to do our best to reduce damage to our troops.
But before he could even weave the magic…
[Look at it, Karam… The girl didn’t ask you for support for no reason…?]
[Hmm, indeed. It is inevitable in order to fulfill the king’s orders.]
Another being appeared behind Karam.
A woman wearing a black veil and dress that is clearly visible even though her shape is blurry.
Just hearing that voice makes you feel dizzy and shakes your will to live. Her true identity is…
“Olivia, the Banshee Queen…!”
Oldman’s expression distorted.
It might be okay if it’s just Karam, but adding an Immortal Legion official to it?
Even as if she hadn’t come alone, ghostly undead were appearing one by one.
But unfortunately for them, the executives who came here did not end there.
Swoosh—
In an instant, the surrounding floor turned black and began to emit a gloomy energy.
And in that seething darkness.
Fuhuaak—!
Clatter—clatter!
Geek!
Numerous undead, including headless Dullahan and skeleton knights made of bones, crawled out endlessly and filled the surrounding area in an instant.
[Pfft—I prepared quite a bit, but you guys have no chance at all.]
Dwell appeared from the darkness for the last time with a gloomy voice and looked down on the warlocks.
As many as three executives participated in this event to ensure their thorough capture.
Oldman gritted his teeth with a grim expression at the overwhelming difference in power.
In addition to Death Knight Lord Karam and Banshee Queen Olivia….
“…Akrich is also added. “For what reason?”
For reference, Dwell had excellent abilities in handling undead armies and devising strategies, but due to his nature of not stepping forward, his name was not known.
[…This body is Dwell McCain, the Immortal King’s faithful servant! [Make sure you remember it clearly in the future!]
He was exasperated by the other person’s reaction and shouted confidently, but it was meaningless as his name would not be spread widely through this incident.
Naturally, there was not a single person who could escape this situation.
After a while.
Another small war that took place behind the scenes ended quietly without anyone noticing.
However, Olivia, who was cleaning up after the fight, had to hurriedly leave before the work could be completed…
[Girl Olivia… I have come at the king’s call…]
Immortal King Hans personally called her. It was because I did it.
[Olivia I picked up some interesting ones this time.]
Hans’ eyes turned to those hanging in the air, tied with black chains.
[These are the Yeokcheon Oaths who tried to infiltrate Talaria this time. After a quick look, it looks like there is an executive level member involved as well.] The
fact that the Yeokcheon Oaths were there was evidence of their involvement behind the movements of the Eupersch Clan.
Even if they were a point organization, they would not be able to use units of this level as expendables.
‘Even if the order was passed across several bridges, Olivia would be able to trace it.’
And if her backtracking and the results of Clan Eupersch’s interrogation were combined, it was only a matter of time before the location of those who planned this incident was discovered.
[Investigate these guys and find out the location behind them.]
[I will follow the king’s orders…]
And so, another job was given to the person who was considered the busiest in the Immortal Legion.
Olivia bows politely with a face that is not only pale but transparent.
Also, the fact that he was too talented was something to think about.
