My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness - Chapter 15

Azantu (3)

There were several iron doors in the basement, and a desk and chair were placed in front.

And the keys were hanging side by side on a nail on the wall.

‘There is no one guarding it. ‘Without the children.’

When I looked inside through the eye hole in the iron door, it was mostly empty.

Except for one thing.

A small boy curled up in the corner, hugging his knees.

You might have heard someone shouting, but he didn’t move at all.

Squeak, squeak!

As I open the iron door with the key and enter, I feel my small body twitch.

“Hmm… I came here because your sister sent me here. “You’re Aaron, right?”

When I spoke softly to him from a reasonable distance, his body trembled and he slowly raised his head.

Her tear-stained face, like Diana’s, looked younger than my age.

“Are you my sister? Really…?”

“Yes, how worried Diana was about you. “Let’s hurry up and go home.”

“Huh — Black ….”

Aaron began to tears when he was relieved when he heard Diana’s name.

“Let’s sleep, aren’t you nice? Calm down. “Stop crying and go see your sister now.”

“Whoop whoop… yes. mister.”

I comforted Aaron, calmed him down, picked him up, and headed out the door.

“I’m going to go out now. “There are scary things behind the door, so close your eyes?”

“Yes…”

Since it wasn’t good for children’s education from the looks of it, I covered my eyes and went out the door.

Just in case, I held Aaron’s head in my arms so I couldn’t see outside.

“Smell of alcohol…”

Aaron muttered softly, but pretended not to hear.

Wouldn’t it be better than smelling blood?

As soon as I left the gate of Barcolac’s stronghold, Diana, who had been watching me from afar, immediately came running to me.

“Aaron!”

“Sister—!”

Soon, the two siblings hugged each other and started wailing loudly.

I couldn’t bear to intervene, but there was nothing I could do as the situation was urgent right now.

“Guys? “I’m sorry, but can you stop crying later?”

“Sniff… I’m sorry, mister. Thank you for saving Aaron. Are you much better than that? “Aren’t you hurt too much?”

Diana seemed to have calmed down to some extent and hugged Aaron and thanked him.

“okay. Did I tell you? “It’s no big deal.”

“But there’s blood on your clothes…”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. “This is not my blood.”

Although it’s a lie.

But it was true that it was really good, so I quickly got to the point.

“Besides, I still have work to do, right? Diana, you take Aaron and go home.”

“yes? “Aren’t you going with me?”

“I’ll come find you after work. And you must act as normal as possible until I tell you otherwise. Understand? ah! And I have these. “You can use it if you need to.”

When I handed over some of my belongings, including the money I had, to Diana, she looked up at me for a moment, then lowered her head as if she had no choice and continued speaking in a whisper.

“…Do you really have to come back? “It’s a promise.”

“Yes, I will definitely be there within three days at the latest, so just wait patiently. “When you go, don’t forget to go to a place without people.”

With a grin, I comforted my siblings and went back into the hideout.

The real work starts now.

‘The problem is not solved yet.’

The reason they kidnapped Aaron.

‘Some vampire named Aaron.’

This was information obtained by interrogating gang members before killing them.

Of course, he didn’t know that he was a vampire and seemed to think it was an order from some high person.

‘And he said he would come visit us tonight.’

If the guy is alive, nothing will be solved, so you must kill him.

There was absolutely no chance of winning if we fought head on, but fortunately we had the materials to try any method.

“Whoa… let’s get ready to welcome guests.”

There wasn’t much time left now.

***

Late night.

I was sitting on a chair in the middle of a chaotic hideout.

Actually, I don’t think everything will go as I think.

I’m not a genius strategist, so I don’t know how well a plan I came up with in just a few hours would work out.

‘But I did as much as I could. ‘I leave the last inevitable piece to luck.’

I considered many things and prepared thinking that the possibility was high, but there was also a clear possibility that things might not go as planned.

‘It will be a little more difficult then, but we’ll have to proceed with Plan B.’

The moment I waited so endlessly for someone.

When I saw someone coming through the door, I looked in that direction and knew that the luck I had been waiting for had come.

‘After all, people must live good lives! Now it’s all up to me.’

Someone walking calmly looking around at the bloody mess.

“Hmm, it’s a nice scent. Did you deliberately prepare to welcome me? “I definitely like it.”

The vampire who was approaching with a hearty smile soon stopped, his expression hardened, and he looked down at me.

“But no matter how I look at these guys, they seem to be servants that I used to control. “You know what you did, right?”

It seemed like it was curious as I was waiting calmly and had no intention of attacking right away.

I stood up and faced the vampire.

“I came to this city not long ago. Are these guys trying to extort money from me? “When I think about it, I’m so pissed.”

“Oh, so you came here on purpose and killed them all? “But what is your intention in staying instead of running away?”

“A dog’s fault is the owner’s fault, right? “I was waiting to see that face.”

Whether you believe it or not, he just said whatever he wanted.

In fact, he didn’t seem to be interested in the context.

“Yeah, but there was one thing I asked these guys to do. “This is in trouble.”

“I guess I unintentionally caused trouble.”

“It was almost time for dinner. “I don’t feel so good about being interrupted.”

He looked at me as if I was already dead and spoke calmly.

Not only was he ignoring me, but he was also a talkative guy.

“So you. “Where did they take that child away?”

Damn, did I get caught?

“After we cleared out all the guys here, there was one kid who was trapped, so we roughly freed him. “But why are you looking for that girl?”

I thought about saying something, but since I was already convinced, it seemed pointless.

Instead, I took a quick look at how I identified Aaron.

He seemed to be a guy who liked to brag, and it was important to figure out the cause.

“Hmm, there’s no particular reason. “I like children’s blood, and I just happened to find a child in a pharmacy that smelled delicious, so I ordered him to bring it to me.”

Was that the cause?

Even if Diana was good at avoiding dangerous places, there would have been limits.

Moreover, since Aaron was sick at the pharmacy, there was nothing they could do.

“Ha… Anyway, I guess I’ll have to get other guys to catch him tomorrow. “For now, I will bear with you as I regret.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a stream of blood started from his fingertips and flew towards his limbs.

“Suck?!”

I was so tense throughout the conversation that I was barely able to react and avoid it.

And then he immediately drew his weapon and rushed towards the vampire.

Kaan—!

The sword he swung was blocked by his red fingernails.

Then, the nail he swung on the other side cut into my abdomen, and my bulletproof uniform, which had been tattered from the previous battle, was torn to shreds.

“I almost cut you into pieces by making a mistake like this. “But your body is tougher than you think?”

“It’s a sensitive product, so please handle it with care!”

I bent down to avoid the rushing sharp nails.

At that moment, a hand engulfed in red energy approached my nose.

Crashing Tang—

I immediately rolled on the floor to avoid the attack, but for an instant, my stomach cooled down.

“Tsk, you’re pretty quick.”

Fortunately, there seemed to be no intention of killing him right away, perhaps because he intended to suck blood while alive.

Of course, that didn’t mean I had any chance of winning.

visor-!

I gritted my teeth and swung the sword, but it was easily blocked.

At the same time, the blood spurting from his fingernails cut my whole body.

It seems like the intention was to prevent me from moving, but I can’t fall like this.

Even if the sword he swung again was blocked again, he continued to swing the sword.

“The recovery power is also very good. This seems to be a new delicacy again. “I’m looking forward to it.”

A gap in physical ability that even my strengthened body could not overcome. Red fingernails rising like blades and blood escaping from them.

If they hadn’t planned to capture me alive, I would have been dead a long time ago.

“But since the recovery is so fast, there is a lot of resistance. “Even if there is some loss, we need to prepare it so that it is easy to eat.”

Its attacks became more intense.

Red nails swinging faster and sharper.

“Tsk!”

I resisted by moving my sword as much as I could, but…

it was too much for me to block all of his attacks with my abilities.

And eventually.

Sgak!

The right arm holding the sword was cut off, as if there was a limit to how strong it could be.

‘My right arm was cut off again. But it doesn’t matter now that it’s over.’

I calmly expressed my feelings and launched a final hand-to-hand attack on the guy.

Kwasik—

and the vampire’s arm pierced my chest.

“What is this? Do you even provide delivery for convenience? The service is good. “I will use it often in the future.”

If you’re alive, that is.

The vampire muttered softly and sank its sharp fangs into the back of my neck.

I laughed cheerfully, ignoring the feeling of my blood being sucked out for the first time in my life.

“The customer is impatient. “We have prepared an exciting service as a first-time customer benefit, so please enjoy it to your heart’s content.”

Immediately after speaking, he held the ring-shaped magic tool hidden in his mouth between his teeth and activated it.

Grumble!

Sparks flew and my body burned.

And the fire also spread to the vampire that was attached to it.

“Ugh?! “What a crazy guy!”

He tried to shake off my body, but I used my remaining arm and both legs to cling to him like a cicada.

I felt the arm of the bastard embedded in my body, shattering not only my internal organs but also my heart.

The guy’s other hand ripped off my left arm, but when I didn’t fall, he reached out to cut off my leg as well.

‘But it’s already too late.’

The flames that jumped out of my body spread to the surrounding area and instantly turned the area into a fire pit.

It wasn’t just a fire.

“this guy! This was the plan from the beginning! “We were planning on dying together from the beginning!”

I set the stage before he came to die with the vampire.

Oil found in the kitchen and storage room was placed throughout the messy interior.

No matter how strong the smell of blood was, the vampires would notice if you sprayed it openly, so they provoked a fight and destroyed the oil drum.

You may have smelled the smell of oil during the fight, but how much attention can you pay when right in front of you is a crazy guy rushing to kill you while his whole body is cut open and bleeding profusely?

And using a small amount of oil, enough to cover the smell of blood, the oil drums that were located at a distance from each other were connected like a fuse.

Grumble! Quang!

A stream of fire spread from the center and touched the oil tank, causing a chain of explosions.

The entire building was burning like a pile of wood for a campfire.

‘Wow~ It’s spectacular.’

All of his limbs had been torn off, and he was now clinging to the vampire’s shoulder with his teeth, expressing his feelings carefree.

As I rushed towards him, there were multiple oil bottles in my arms, and at the same time my chest was pierced, the oil soaked my body and turned me into a living firewood.

‘And ignite it with an ignition magic tool and you’re done.’

I was afraid that the arm equipped with the magic tool would be cut off, so I deliberately placed it in my mouth.

“Kaaaa—!”

With his whole body on fire, he fell away from the glowing guy and rolled around on the floor.

I can’t see because my eyes have been damaged by the burning flames.

Quaaaang!

There was a lot of explosions caused by fires everywhere.

Even in this situation, my tenacious vitality held my breath until the end.

‘Still, I’m glad it went as planned.’

I was lucky in many ways.

When I fought him in person, he was clearly overwhelmingly stronger than me, but that was all.

He only used his superior physical ability and blood as a weapon, but was unable to use extraordinary magic.

He must have been a low-ranking vampire.

‘And that’s not enough to survive this fire pit.’

Moreover, isn’t fire one of the vampires’ weaknesses?

‘It may not be in this world, but with this level of firepower, that doesn’t mean anything.’

Crumbling—

the eardrums, which had barely held on thanks to their resilience, ceased their function after hearing the sound of the vampire collapsing.

Now I could only feel the heat and vibration of this world.

The vampire who ordered Aaron to be kidnapped was caught, and those who carried out the action were also killed.

‘Now, if you just pretend like you don’t know anything, everything will be solved.’

In fact, the problem I was most worried about was that vampires would not enter the building.

Since he is a vampire who is sensitive to the smell of blood, if he noticed that something had gone wrong inside the building and went back or brought in other people from outside, he would have failed before even starting his plan.

‘I had no choice but to leave that part entirely up to luck, but I was fortunate that he happened to be a confident and arrogant guy.’

Isn’t carelessness one’s own greatest enemy?

It was an opportunity for me to reflect once again on whether I was letting my guard down because I was so absorbed in the ability called “Avatar.”

‘At this point, it’s like testing what happens if the avatar really dies. Because I couldn’t understand it properly during Hans’ time. … Anyway, it might be reaching its limit.’

In fact, it was easy for me to hold on until now even though my heart was shattered.

In addition to “Strongness,” “Super Recovery” must have burned down the last of the vitality and restored it.

I felt the impact of the rubble collapsing on my body for the last time and had a premonition of the end of my life.

‘Still, it was quite fun. 〈Mission: Help the unfortunate girl find her younger brother.〉…Success…’

Grumble— Kugugoong!

In this way, Heinz met death in another world with a vampire.
