My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness - Chapter 194

#194

White Giant (1)

In fact, even as I followed Geos to this country estate, I was prepared that this might be a waste of time.

The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Coordinating the party’s schedule was not my job, so I was willing to invest the time, but wouldn’t there be insufficient evidence to convince me that the other person was an Earthling just based on Geos’ testimony?

I just thought that it would be great if he was truly an awakened person, and that I would be satisfied if I could obtain even a little bit of information…

‘The harvest was much bigger than I expected.’

Not only did I meet Chehai, a real settler from Earth, but he also willingly provided me with advanced information that was not easily obtained.

I even received separate training from him and developed my unique skills, so what more can I say!

‘Thanks to you, I ended up staying longer than expected.’

However, it was impossible for the warrior party, including Heinrich, to stay stuck in this rural area forever.

In fact, it was quite unusual to take such a long time off.

“See you next time, Uncle Geos!”

“sister! “Take care!”

“Hello~!”

Although the group had been living between the villa on the hill and Chehai’s orphanage for only a few days, the children seemed to have become quite attached during that time, and the children flocked to the door to say goodbye to them.

To be honest, with the exception of Geos, if we break up like this now, it was only a very short-term relationship with no promise of when we will be able to meet again… Although

the faces of the children waving their hands with strong voices may have regrets, they only show bright signs without any wrinkles. did.

‘Everyone is strong. … You’re better than me.’

He couldn’t even imagine how much pain was hidden behind the smiles of the children who survived in this harsh world that even adults found difficult to endure.

Perhaps he was able to look like that because he had a few adults who embraced his wounds with love and friends who were always by his side.

The group left the orphanage after saying a brief goodbye to the children.

And as they were moving on, Chehai, who had been accompanying them for a while to see them off, approached Heinrich.

“I tried my best to help in my own way. I don’t know how it became powerful. “I wonder if it was just a waste of busy people’s time.”

“What are you saying? It was really helpful. Now, leave the rest to us, and Chehai, please protect this place as you do now. “Aren’t children the future of the world?”

“Hehehe, you are correct. “That is what I am most confident in.”

Two people exchanging well-wishes and shaking hands with smiles.

Tsehai then exchanged a few short words with the others and turned to the last remaining person.

“Gios.”

Geos looked at him quietly at his soft call.

I thought he got better while he was at the orphanage, but when he left, his expression suddenly became gloomy again.

“Why don’t you get comfortable now? “If you stay stuck in the past forever, nothing will happen.”

“I don’t want to start over. “Because my world already ended that day.”

“…Not even Anna and Nia would want you to do this.”

“well. That certainly might be the case.”

But since we can never see each other again, all such assumptions are meaningless.

He just stared into space with his empty gaze as usual, as if he didn’t care what others said around him.

“ha-.”

Chehai, who was looking at this with concern, could only sigh.

In fact, it was obvious that he would have acted the same way if he had been in a similar situation to Geos, so he himself felt unconvincing.

A short period of time passes like that.

They finally arrived at a mansion on a hill, which was a suitable place to prepare for space movement, and immediately prepared a magic circle in the backyard.

“I’ve been using this magic circle so often lately that I can now draw it with my eyes closed. For me, elemental magic… especially ice magic was my main focus. Now I think I should change my major to spatial science.”

“Isn’t that how versatile Master is? How about learning all the other lineages at this point? There’s a school I’m interested in, so how can we work together…” “

Hmm…”

As Isea grunted as she set up a magic circle with materials taken from a subspace magic tool, Hesperon next to her suddenly gave her a false accusation. Injected.

No matter how much he can get help from Hans, wouldn’t his efficiency increase even more if he could work with her even when learning other branches?

‘Anyway, it’s amazing.’

These days, it seems easy because it is so commonplace, but in fact, moving through space was a high-level magic that could not even be attempted without considerable skill and preparation.

I told you all that even in the Magic Tower, it was only attempted with large facilities, many materials, and the cooperation of several wizards.

This meant that Se-Ah Lee, who could implement it on her own, was a great being.

Hans was of course an exception since he was an immortal king.

And the preparations for space transfer were almost finished.

“We will prepare thoroughly and always wait in perfect condition so that the head of the family can return and rest at any time. “Please remember.”

Oliver, the manager of the mansion who brought snacks, bowed politely to Geos.

He also felt the same concern as Chehai, but because he was employed, he did not dare to be presumptuous and spoke indirectly like this.

Whenever you’re really having a hard time, come back here… ‘home’.

“…okay. “Please take care of me.”

Of course, Geos only gave a dry answer like before.

“I’m ready. “Everyone gather here.”

Now that I had done everything I had to do in this village, there was no reason to stay any longer.

Finally, the group that greeted Chehai and Oliver surrounded Isea and waited for the transmission.

“Then let’s get going. As you all already know, adjust your anti-magic power so that it does not resist magic…”

However.

Before she could even cast her magic.

Squeaky—!

A strange sound that is difficult to hear even once in a lifetime.

A strange noise, as if the space was being torn apart, echoed everywhere.

“hmm…?”

“…!”

The nerves of everyone present were sharpened by this unusual phenomenon.

This wasn’t a phenomenon caused by Isea’s space movement magic.

The group surrounding her and Chehai, who was seeing them off, turned their heads to the side.

In the direction of the village they had already passed through.

“for a moment…!”

“Can that be?!”

And on the outskirts of the village where their gaze was directed.

A huge crack appeared in the air, and a pure white ‘hand’ protruding from within it was slowly widening the gap.

As if trying to force his way out of a closed door.

The only problem is that the entity coming out was really huge, commensurate with the size of the crack…

“No!”

Chehai’s orphanage was located near where the crack opened.

***

The being’s entire body, not just its hands, was white as if it were covered in paint.

It tore open the crack with both hands, stretched out one leg, and took its first step outside.

Coooooo—!

With just one step, a loud noise resounded as if a bomb had exploded, the ground shook, and deep footprints with five toes were left on the floor.

And finally, the being that pulled not only its feet but also its entire body out of the crack straightened its back and raised its head.

Right after that—.

[———!]

The oppressed spirit that emanated from that being shook the whole place.

The heavy sound, like the sound of a whale, was filled with a deep ‘joy’ that was clearly felt even though it was not a language.

A distinct feeling that if I had been a little more considerate, I might have really congratulated him.

Kugugoogung—!

However, the situation of the listeners was not so good for them to share in that joy.

The destructive energy emitted without consideration from that overwhelming massive body was naturally carried by sound waves and violently stirred up all directions.

Trees that were swaying were uprooted and fell down, rocks were flying around like crazy, and all kinds of structures were falling apart.

The damage to objects was so severe that it was obvious what would happen if a living being was hit directly by the wave.

And the village that was just a stone’s throw away…

“Ugh, my dear… What is this all of a sudden…”

“Ugh—! “Mom!”

“Huh? What what! “That monster!”

Fortunately, there was only noise and damage to property due to the loud noise, and no significant casualties were seen right away.

“Hahaha… It was close…”

Ise-ah took a deep breath and tightly grasped the staff she had received as a gift from the imperial family.

Before I knew it, the blue light that covered the entire village was shaking back and forth, blocking the torrent of vicious energy.

Although her response was a little late as she was preparing to teleport, she was an archmage who had reached the pinnacle of magic.

As soon as an abnormality is detected, it only takes about ten seconds to determine the exact situation, cancel the magic being prepared, and construct and activate a new magic.

However, covering the entire village, and a place that was quite far away from where she was, in such a short time was bound to be quite burdensome for her.

At least this was possible because it was not an attack planned by the opponent, but merely an unintended aftereffect.

“Anyway, what on earth is that…?”

Because of her hasty efforts, Ise-ah repeatedly repaired the shaking barrier and glared at the large, pure white being that seemed to ignore perspective.

A typical humanoid giant exceeding 30 meters in height.

What’s unusual is that the seven holes on the face, including the eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouth, are all sewn with something black.

[———!]

Then the giant let out a strange sound from his throat again.

But this time, unlike before, the feeling was one of irritation rather than joy.

Well, it has to be that way.

Heinrich the Warrior, Harley the Savage Warrior, Zios the Lancer.

It was only natural that the three vanguards of the hero party who had already arrived in front of the giant were continuously attacking him to draw his attention and drive him away from the village.

‘Chehai… did you head straight to the orphanage?’

Almost at the same time that Se-ah Lee reacted, the others immediately started looking for something to do.

“…I should also move a little closer for the magic to be more effective.”

“yep! I will escort you. Master! “Just trust me!”

Except for Hesperon, who is still incompetent.

***

Holy power mixed with the Holy Sword Qi flowed through Heinrich’s body, which had been trained to the limit.

Pulp-

His body, which had normally been strengthened with “Great Blessing: Knight of Light” and “Blessing: Strong Body,” once again surpassed its limits, imbuing him with superhuman strength.

In that state, he ran like the wind, stepped on the giant’s feet, knees, and thighs, and jumped high.

“Blessing: Light Sword” burned even more intensely under the influence of “Blessing: Increase”, and it was contained in “Blessing: Holy Sword” and pierced the heart of the giant.

Guided by the “Rogia Holy Fighting Method” and the “Way of Martial Arts,” he draws a very fatal trajectory.

Sigh—!

[———?!]

Pure white blood pouring out from the torn body of a giant.

However, it was so large and hard that it could not properly destroy its heart.

Contrary to appearances, it was quite agile and even missed a bit.

Wiggle Wiggle—

‘…and in the meantime, even regeneration.’

Heinrich’s eyebrows twitched as he lightly landed on the ground.

The man’s open wound continued to squirm and was being sutured slowly but steadily.

Suppressing recovery was one of the basic abilities of the holy sword that had been used to hunt all kinds of bizarre monsters.

However, even after being hit by such a sword, that level of regenerative power means that it surpasses even the “super regeneration” of Heinz II and Harley…

In many ways, it was a monster that went beyond the norm.

‘what? What is this monster? The crack that that guy came out of must be a scar of the abyss.’

Although this giant was a naked humanoid, it did not show any features that could identify its gender, including genitalia.

A human shape that looks as if it was roughly made out of white clay without any hair or hair.

Because it was completely white from head to toe, the black wire that sewed the lacquerwork on its face stood out even more, emphasizing its grotesqueness.

‘Is this guy also drifting on the edge of the abyss like the immortal army?’

However, it is not surprising that it suddenly appeared after being quiet until now.

And above all….

‘The concentration of madness in the body is considerable. At this level… I think it’s similar to Heratos, who was a bright dragon?’

A being with deep madness in its body that protrudes from the scars of the abyss.

‘…is it a monster that crawled up from the abyss?’

Heinrich frowned.

Likewise, the giant distorted his face and looked towards Heinrich.

As if he could be seen, he was now exuding anger that went beyond irritation.

“Saint! It’s dangerous to fight here any longer! There is a daycare nearby! Now that I think I’ve gotten some attention, guide me to the back…!”

At that time, Geos, who had repeatedly stabbed the tip of his spear to attract the man’s attention, shouted sharply.

Isea, who had approached nearby, was busy helping to keep the giant in check, as well as maintaining the protective barrier and assisting with the evacuation of residents using magic.

The physical force coming from an overwhelming body of at least 30 meters was a disaster in itself.

Even now, as I fought to attract the guy’s attention as much as possible, not only was the village in shambles, but there were sacrifices that I couldn’t stop…

‘Let’s be honest, even if that guy slips and falls, it’s a fatal attack here.’

So now I had to be careful about even knocking it over.

If I can suffocate him so that he cannot resist, then I will be able to do something about it.

“All right! “It looks like he’s angry with me, so I’ll slowly back away and get out of the village…!”

Heinrich, who was answering Zios, suddenly stopped as a chill ran up his spine.

Because of the strange behavior of the giant.

‘No wait. No way…!’

The giant, who was frowning with anger, seemed to tilt his head for a moment.

Immediately, the corner of his mouth twisted into a crooked smile.

The black wire sewn to his face only made him look grotesque, but—.

No matter how you look at it, it was a big smile that conveyed anticipation for something.

‘Intelligence…!’

and.

The White Giant’s Pass.

‘Did you understand our conversation?!’

They headed toward the orphanage they were desperately trying to protect.
