My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness - Chapter 302
〈 Vampires, Fairies, and Experimental Subjects (3) 〉
As there were various levels, there were also different names for those who had reached the level of transcendence in various places.
Hyeonkyung Grand Master Seer Overlord Grand Magia Immortal etc.
As such, although there were some differences in the details, they all had something in common: beings who had overcome certain limitations and reestablished their status.
Whether it’s pioneering a new realm through long training, exercising special powers of a certain rank, or inheriting the karma of a lineage accumulated over a long period of time.
Those who achieved transcendence in their own way reigned supreme in every world, and Earth, the intersection of numerous dimensions, was no exception.
‘It goes without saying that overwhelming power is no different from power.’
But of course, there were bound to be differences in level even among those who had overcome the wall.
Isn’t there a law of hierarchy everywhere, just like being ranked last in a prestigious university means being ranked last in high school?
‘And the awakened people of Earth are generally inferior in many ways to the powerful people of other worlds.’
Since this power was obtained relatively easily with the help of the system, it was inevitable that it was slightly lacking in proficiency.
To put it bluntly, it could also be said to be a mass-produced model.
‘Of course, my avatars also received help from the system.’
However, Harley, who has continued to evolve and surpassed the limits of life and even embraced ‘madness’, and Harris, who has grown to a higher level by uniting with nature with the help of the World Tree and learning the martial arts of Kang Hwan-gye….
It is impossible to tie them together in that way. The amount of power it contained was too great.
Just those two are enough to clean up all the remaining guys in this place.
Also, like those two, Heinz II was at the top of the realm of transcendence.
Now we were facing another upheaval.
“Whoo—whoo—.”
My breathing becomes difficult.
A thick mist of blood mixed with exhaled breath dispersed into the air.
He took a deep breath in front of the remains of the ‘peacock’ who was slowly turning into ashes and crumbling, trying to control the power boiling inside his body.
Of course, the duke, who was strong enough to compete with him, could not be taken under his command.
The best Heinz can do is to extort all the blood.
Since he had no expectations from the beginning anyway, he did not hesitate to proceed with the work.
‘I guessed this…’
And right after that.
He was struggling to gather his energy on the spot, unable to move due to the stronger recoil than expected.
If Harley and Harris weren’t in control of the situation, it probably would have been quite a difficult situation.
‘If that was really the case, I would have had no choice but to cancel the summons… Ugh!’
The blood flowing through my body wriggled as if it had become a separate living entity.
“Blood Run”, which was his foundation, became violently activated and began to affect all skills related to it.
「Mixed Blood Evolution」, 「Blood Mystery」, 「Refined Blood Essence」, etc….
All skills branch out from each other, become more organically connected, and grow further by complementing each other’s shortcomings.
At that point, it was natural that the body would undergo changes.
Tap-duk-dud! Crack!
A long time has passed like that.
Finally, the fights that were going on elsewhere were slowly coming to an end.
《Collect new blood-sucking factors. Due to the influence of the special skill “Hybrid Evolution,” the existence of the entity becomes more clear.》 《
The karma possessed by the entity has reached a critical point.》
Several lines of the message he had been waiting for appeared before his eyes.
No, the notification window didn’t just end there.
Soon, a few more lines began to appear below the first phrase that came to mind.
《All abilities of the object increase explosively》
《The object grows by achieving the conditions. The special skill “Bloodline Longing” evolves into “Return to the Source”.》
And then.
At the same time, something inside Heinz expanded as if it was going to burst—.
《The entity awakened and its species value was changed to ‘Vampire (God Blood)’.》
He was finally able to achieve what he wanted.

“Off….”
“You’re really trying to run away. “If there wasn’t a barrier, you would have almost missed it, right?”
The groans of a dying person and the gruff voice of a man came out from the crevices of the trees that were tightly packed together.
Tdu-duk!
Immediately after the bloody sound of something being crushed, a huge savage man holding something in one hand sauntered through the bushes and appeared.
And Harley, who had already returned to his original form, looked around again, carefully taking care of the bodies of the victims, including the one in his hands.
‘But thanks to you, I was able to secure a lot of materials for Hans. And it’s all of the highest quality.’
In addition, it was a great harvest to be able to drastically reduce the power of the Beoncheonhoe through this opportunity.
Who would have known that they would be trapped in a barrier they had set up, unable to move and being hunted?
Isn’t this what we call retribution?
“Let’s see, now…”
Harley scratched his chin, still wearing the beast mask pressed deep into his head.
In the past, as soon as the fight was over, I would have been constantly stuffing meat down my throat to replenish my energy, but now that I could consume madness instead, the hunger I felt right away was not that great.
They say that if you put your mind to it, you can continue the fight even now.
“…I guess I’ll have to take care of it later.”
However, Harley, who specialized in all-out warfare involving destruction, was not of much help in other matters.
In the current situation, it was someone other than him who had useful abilities.
A suburban area a bit far from the center where he is.
‘hmm.’
Harris, who was leaning on a tall tree, scanned the area again with the “Observer of the Milky Way” and slowly nodded.
‘It’s over.’
He gently stroked the colorful spirits that appeared around him and then looked back at the barrier that still surrounded the entire forest.
‘As expected, that’s not normal either. There was this much of a fight inside, and it’s still maintained…’
Even though it’s now in a tattered state, almost on the verge of breaking due to accumulated fatigue, it’s truly amazing that it still maintains its function despite the aftermath.
Moreover, isn’t that a special product with an incredibly short activation time?
‘…is this really the doctor’s work? Then, what we are observing inside through that…’
Harris, with a languid expression, tilted his head slightly to the side.
As the fight continued, the moment the barrier shook in the aftermath, he could tell that an unknown person was looking inside through it.
I was planning on going out soon anyway, so I didn’t mind if my identity was revealed, but I was very concerned because I felt like I was being observed one-sidedly by someone.
‘… but looking at the current state of the barrier, I think I can secretly take out at least one spirit.’
Since it was prepared assuming a transcendent person, even that would have been difficult if the barrier had been operated normally.
But things were different now.
It was also easier because the spirit was a spirit without substance.
‘It just worked out. Plus, if you use it well…’
Huuuung—
A gentle, swirling wind.
Harris carefully used his energy to send the wind spirit Pascal out of the barrier.
There was a moment when the barrier tried to react for a moment, but he was able to apply the harmony of ‘Muyu Bagua Bigong (改)’ and eventually succeeded in secretly taking all the spirits out.
‘Now—please, Pascal. Scour the city to find suspicious locations. Among them, there must be a place connected to this barrier.’
The reason they came to Europe on purpose was entirely due to Heinz’s growth.
And that goal has just been completely achieved.
However, just in time, a being called the Doctor entered the target…
‘For Pascal, the highest level spirit, it wouldn’t take that long to sweep through a city.’
Soon, a ray of cool wind blew in the direction of Bucharest, the capital of Romania, where Heinz had originally intended to go.
***
A hologram video continues to play on one wall.
From the start of the fight in the forest until it reached its end, the Doctor, who had used the “Eye of Truth”, stared intently at it without even blinking.
Of course, since he was not an ordinary person, his eyes were not seriously damaged, but his bloodshot and bright red eyes were enough to remind me of a scene from a horror movie.
“…You can control that size freely? What happens to muscle density? The basic weight seems to be considerable… Are you controlling it by moving the surrounding energy? Considering the amount of energy flowing and the extent of the digging in the ground, it would easily exceed 1 ton. Then what about the structure of the internal organs…”
Whoosh—whoosh—
and the sight of him muttering like crazy while breathing heavily made his grotesqueness stand out even more.
Anyone could see that he was a dangerous criminal himself, as he persistently dug into and analyzed a person with his glowing eyes like a madman.
Of course, he was actually a criminal.
“…huh? What, is it over already? “Other places too… Tsk, how can they be so pathetic!”
To him, the war situation that ultimately resulted in the defeat of the Beoncheonhoe was nothing more or less than a cause for complaint.
He no longer had any concerns about the safety of the European branch.
It’s just a pity that I can’t continue observing the specimen.
“I guess I was wrong about the duke! Still, I thought he was a somewhat useful friend! To be treated in vain like this… huh? What about that? “Hoo…”
He was preoccupied with Harley’s body the entire time he was watching the video, and when he looked at the situation elsewhere, the first thing he saw was.
Heinz was facing a big change right after he took over the duke.
“That’s…”
The appearance of a phantom engulfed in red and dark blood magic on a gigantic scale.
A flash of light flashed again in the eyes of the Doctor, who was in the midst of an outburst.
What a situation right after a vampire preyed on its own kind!
Aren’t both the predator and the prey monsters that were considered the edge of level 9?
This was truly a scene that could never be seen again.
“Oooh… Oooot?!”
It was truly unusual.
An enormous amount of blood magic of a purity that had never been seen before was writhing and flowing roughly around one vampire.
But the really disappointing thing is….
“Ahh—! no! Not enough! It’s not enough! I should have been there! “I wish I could have seen that in person!!”
The reason was that the energy was so dense that it was impossible to observe the body where changes were taking place.
Of course, no matter how effective this video magic tool was, it was bound to have some limitations.
But even if you were to face it directly, there was no way you could observe a mystery that was at a level that you could see through or not in this way, right?
“Ahhhh! “I can’t believe I missed this opportunity!”
He was pounding his chest in frustration and letting out a loud roar.
Of course, in the meantime, my eyes did not take my eyes off the screen.
“There are two such desirable test subjects…! You mean you can’t get your hands on that? Because that stupid duke gets things wrong, nothing happens! You’re like a useless piece of trash! “I should have just drained all the blood!”
After fussing like that for a while, his thoughts suddenly went somewhere else.
Both of the previously observed creatures were very interesting.
So what about the other one?
He immediately checked another place inside the barrier just in case…
“Oh? Oooh!”
Through “The Eyes of Truth,” I discovered a being who had assimilated into nature as if I were one with it, and once again expressed my admiration.
“That… is real! I couldn’t believe it, but it was real! “There really is an otherworldly being on Earth!”
His eyes, penetrating the truth, were telling.
That is a being that originates entirely from another dimension, from the very foundation of its existence without the involvement of transformation abilities.
The other person’s level was high and I couldn’t understand the details, but that was enough for now.
“The fairy people I’ve only heard about! “I was so sad that it wasn’t there in the world I was in, but I never thought it would show up like this! What a gift from heaven!”
The doctor lets out an exclamation of emotion.
However, after being so enraged, he soon realized that he couldn’t get them right now, so he stared blankly at the screen again, like a child who had been robbed of a precious gift.
There was no such tragedy to him as three treasures he really wanted appeared at once, but he couldn’t have them.
His emotions fluctuated up and down, and eventually he squeezed his heart out in bitterness and resentment.
“Off!”
A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and fell to the floor.
Obsession and possessiveness flashed fiercely in his eyes as he chewed his lips.
When the Doctor was so preoccupied with the screen that he couldn’t come to his senses.
The corner of the mouth of one person on the screen, Harris, rose slightly, almost as if he could not see it.
‘found.’
Actually, finding the destination wasn’t as easy as I thought.
In Bucharest, the headquarters of the European branch of the Buncheonhoe, there were so many suspicious places, including places where barriers were placed.
However, after concentrating his energy on only Pascal, Harris was finally able to find a place vaguely connected to the barrier here.
He may still be looking at this place, but if the signal wasn’t transmitted in real time, he probably wouldn’t have found it so quickly.
‘Okay then…’
From now on, speed is everything.
A newly awakened vampire.
It was the turn of Earth’s only level 10 vampire.
