My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness - Chapter 299

〈 Romania (3) 〉

An explosive presence emanating from a large body covered with thick muscles.

“Hehehehe—.”

Unlike Heinz’s calm and cold presence or the Duke’s heavy pressure on his son-in-law, the force fiercely stimulated the instinctive sense of crisis in those present and made it impossible to take one’s eyes off.

Like an active volcano that is about to erupt at any moment, and it is impossible to predict when, how, and to what extent it will erupt.

“boundary! “Don’t rush in carelessly.”

“Leave the other side to the outer group! “It is dangerous if power is distributed!”

“Is that… really a human? “No, after all, it’s Mine?”

Vampires who feed on the blood of living beings, as well as powerful people who have gone beyond their limits, were able to intuitively realize this the moment they faced that man.

Although it looks like a human on the outside, it is not a human at all.

Gulp—

‘What the hell is that monster…’

Monster.

That was the common thought that came to the minds of those who lived here.

It even felt that way because of the scalp of a wild beast I had never seen before, covering my face like a mask.

Even at a glance, his appearance was that of a half-human, half-beast demon himself.

“…What are you doing? How did you get in here? …Do you know what you did just now?”

In the air filled with tension.

The Duke slowly stepped forward and let out a low growl.

As soon as that barbaric uninvited guest appeared, he fatally injured one of the Transcendants of the Buncheonhoe and killed two of Drakul’s vampires.

No matter where you looked, it was clear that they were enemies, but since they knew nothing about their opponent, they planned to gather at least a little information before the fight began.

‘Why did they attack us? Is this guy related to Phantom? Then what about the one fighting the outer group now? The means by which they broke into this place… may have such capabilities. The problem is that people like that appeared out of nowhere.’

The duke’s mind was confused as he suddenly faced an unidentified opponent.

Even though the information power of the Buncheonhoe, a secret organization spanning the entire world, was unrivaled, there was no clue about those who had just invaded.

Of course, Phantom… Heinz must have done all the research he could in advance!

however.

Of course, Harley, the unknown uninvited guest, had no intention of answering the duke’s questions obediently.

“Huh? What is he saying now? I don’t know what you guys are talking about. “Do it in English, dude!”

He naturally responded to the other person’s Romanian in English.

The language barrier was meaningless to him as he had “Xenoglossy,” but this was a small prank that he used to lie about his country of origin.

The moment the Duke frowned slightly at that and was about to open his mouth again…

“Well, don’t worry too much! There is a great tool in this world called physical communication! Hahahaha—!”

Harley, who had no intention of talking any more, let out a loud laugh and his muscles twitched wildly.

Giggeek! Kigigging—!

Then a loud metallic sound emanated from his body.

It was a bloody noise, like something that could only come from large heavy equipment that would not come from a living creature.

Chiiikik—

At the same time, his entire body turned red, hot steam was sprayed around him, the air began to boil and the atmosphere began to stir.

Plop—plop!

His already hypertrophied muscles expanded to the fullest extent, his limbs swelled, and sharp claw-like nails grew from his fingertips.

‘Madness’ flowed under the scales that covered the entire body, and a ‘biological aura’ like a dark red haze slowly bloomed.

It is the pinnacle of life and the utopia of an experiment that has transcended its limits through endless pursuit of growth.

It was truly the “ultimate evolved life form” itself.

“…What is that?”

“Mutant type mine? No, that’s simply at that level…”

“It’s a terrible energy. Everyone, brace yourselves! “If you become contaminated with that, you will instantly become a mad vamp!”

The Beoncheonhoe gang took a slight step back without even realizing it due to the sudden change in their opponents.

Like a prey facing a predator that reigns at the top of the ecosystem.

Then, their expressions crumpled as they belatedly realized their instinctive reaction.

For those with strong pride, it was humiliating to be shown such an indecent act.

“Whoop—.”

But regardless, Harley, who had already grown to about 3 meters in height, just stared at them fiercely, exhaling steam generated by the combustion of enormous energy.

“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu old… then…”

Under the beast head covering his face, a lower jaw full of shark-like teeth was revealed.

And the jaw, which was so developed that it could hardly be called a human jaw, twisted and drew an arc—.

“…Let’s start hunting! Hahaha!”

Immediately, the large body rushed forward, bursting into maniacal, ferocious laughter.

***

A black figure secretly escaped from the scene in the center of the forest and quickly moved to the outskirts.

‘I let my guard down.’

An assassin dispatched from the Greek branch of the Buncheonhoe under the orders of the doctor who was responsible for this coldly calmed my heart.

Fortunately, he was able to save his life even in a desperate situation, but his current situation was not very optimistic.

‘Losing a limb is fatal. First of all, he said he has taken some emergency measures…’

His eyes turned to the right half of his body.

A pitch-black limb was replaced by stopping the bleeding in the section of the torn limb.

It was an artificial body created by weaving together the dark chakra it could control for immediate movement.

‘…I never thought that monster would be at that level.’

It was a failure to just hang around nearby to gauge the capabilities of the suddenly appeared intruder.

Who would have thought that this bastard could not only see through this hiding place, but also cut off one’s own limbs simply by reaching out and grabbing it!

‘I feel like I want to get away like this.’

However, in a chaotic situation like the present, he could not just retreat on his own even if he had been fatally wounded.

Moreover, unlike monsters that can rapidly regenerate severed limbs like vampires, he, a pure human, needed to accumulate merit in some way in order to receive proper treatment from the doctor in the future.

‘I can’t help it. That monster is at a very disadvantageous compatibility, so we should support him from the outskirts first and take out the intruders from the other side first…’

But.

His thoughts didn’t last long either.

———!

A flash of light pierced through the air that had been disturbed by the injury and flew in front of my nose without any sound or presence.

“…!”

As if he had been waiting, he flew in first before he could track down his opponent.

‘shit…! This too is a monster…!’

Kwaaaaang—!

And the person who launched that attack.

High elf Harris, who had been called to Earth with Harley, whistled softly while being completely assimilated into the forest with skills such as “Natural Retardation” and “Natural Assimilation.”

‘Did you avoid it at that moment? ‘I’m not very fit, but I’m in good shape.’

Holding Themis, a bow made from a branch of the world tree, in one hand and holding an arrow in the other hand, with eyes closed.

“But I can’t just let you go.”

As the golden stars within the emerald green eyes sparkled in his half-closed eyes, “Observer of the Milky Way” was activated again, and the entire forest was visible at a glance, beyond what could be observed with a state-of-the-art satellite.

Where and where living creatures move, what kind of energy and realm they have, etc.

After organizing all the information clearly and putting it into his mind, he aimed his bow at a certain location again and quietly drew the arrow.

‘The guys here are all members of the Buncheonhoe. ‘I won’t let a single person out of here alive.’

Harris’s mission this time is to check and eliminate the Buncheonhoe gang, including snipers and archmages on the outskirts, to prevent them from intervening in the center.

At the same time, his goal was to hide his identity until the end, but it was not that difficult for him, who was able to assimilate with Mother Nature by using the ‘Muyu Bagua Bikong (改)’.

Not only the support-level abilities that had already made disgusting eyeballs everywhere, but even the super-level assassin who was most likely to know his location had just…

Kwaaaaaang—!

Because he couldn’t withstand the attack with all his might and ended up being reduced to a handful of ash.

‘I spent an hour with this. ‘Thanks to Harley leaving traces on him in advance, we were able to deal with it easier than expected.’

Originally, an assassin who was stealthy and mobile would not have been able to take down this easily.

Harris, who achieved the desired result, immediately moved to his seat with silent steps.

And right after that.

Just do it yourself!

Kugoogung!

A carpet bombardment of anti-magic magic rained down on the place where he had been just moments before, along with sniping that tore up the space.

It was an attack by the outer group of the Beoncheonhoe, which had survived and tenaciously fought to the end even in the battles that had continued several times before paying attention to the assassin.

‘I can’t believe we’re destroying nature to this extent. After all, they are the ones who will be punished from heaven.’

Harris furrowed his brows as he glanced at the area that had been devastated by their attack.

As a guardian of the forest, how can we just sit by and watch this behavior?

Harris, whose hostility toward Beoncheonhoe grew even stronger, called the spirits again and pulled his bowstring.

…In fact, there was one person who should be caught first if he was to be held responsible for deforestation, but he made no effort to look away and ignore the place.

Battle scene in the middle of the forest.

Kwaaaaang!

The hand engulfed in dark red energy and the auror contained in the glowing hammer head collided head-on.

“Keuhahahaha—! Oh, great! good!”

“Hwaap!”

A huge shock wave spreads in all directions due to a clash of enormous force and force, and maniacal laughter is heard mixed within it.

The results of that engagement were stark.

“Ugh! “You monster!”

Perhaps because he was confident in his own strength, the large hammer warrior, who was flung back awkwardly, inevitably gritted his teeth.

But the crisis did not end simply with that.

He lost his balance and saw a huge hand reaching for his face, gritting his teeth and striking it away with all his might.

Whoops—!

When the hammer and hand collided with each other, an unexpected metallic sound rang loudly.

And taking advantage of the momentary opportunity, his colleagues around him rushed in and barely rescued him from danger.

“Don’t hit me head on! “Let’s take the power out of him first with a wheel-to-wheel fight…!”

“Do you think that method will work on something like that?!”

“This is the best way for now! First, go to the side that holds out…”

The scene is as if you are raiding a boss monster.

The problem was that the boss was not only intelligent but also master-level martial arts.

“Kahaha! “Don’t hesitate, let’s play some more, friends!”

A monster with human technology, created for the weak to deal with the strong, began to run rampant, and the screams mixed with screams from those who tried to suppress it in any way did not stop.

“Huh—I feel a little more comfortable now. Duke: Don’t we have something we couldn’t do before? “Should we finish it this time?”

“…Phantom!”

Amid the chaos, Heinz opened his mouth in a relaxed manner.

He leisurely looked up and down as if evaluating the person he was facing.

It was the look in the eyes of an appraiser grading food ingredients.

***

Inside a building in downtown Bucharest.

Wajangchang—! Clink!

The doctor suddenly stood up and rushed forward frantically.

The snacks on the table were scattered around, making a mess, but such trivial things were no longer on his mind.

No, right now he didn’t have any time left to pay attention to anything else.

“What is that…?”

As if possessed, he approached the hologram image and muttered absentmindedly while looking at the screen.

The words expressed doubt, but he knew that better than anyone else.

It had to be that way.

“no way…? “No, it can’t be?”

Fully evolved biology project.

It was a task he conceived and drafted about ten years ago after encountering the ‘blood of a predatory dragon’ that came from the Lauveda dimension where numerous dragon species and dragon hunters live.

In fact, wasn’t the reason you wanted to capture Heinz alive this time to complete that research?

“Ahhh-! That’s definitely…!”

It was a project to create the ultimate life form that constantly evolves by continuously supplying superior genes, rather than simply using a chimera by forcibly adding different bodies…

“But… that.”

However, no matter how hard he tried to judge reality calmly, he, with his “eyes of truth,” was able to recognize it at a glance.

“…That!Why is it over there?!!”

‘That’ is clearly a living being created based on the results of his research.
