My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness - Chapter 309
〈 Enemies of the World (1) 〉
A huge battle took place in the northeastern part of the Aeon Continent.
The aftermath that occurred was not something that could be hidden.
Mountain peaks that had been firmly in place for a long time collapsed, valleys that boasted beautiful scenery were buried, and nature, including the ecosystem, was destroyed to the extent that it could no longer be seen as before.
Naturally, in this world where mysteries are not uncommon, such phenomena were bound to be observed by various means, even if not with the naked eye, and information about them naturally flowed to vested interests located in various parts of the continent.
“Just in case, evacuate nearby residents first!”
“Move quickly! Observation team! Report the situation!”
“The magnitude of the energy… the distortion of space is too strong to be confirmed!”
An unprecedented situation that could make the leaders of each force proud.
It was an event that could be called a natural disaster, but surprisingly, there were not many social leaders who were embarrassed by the fact.
After all, they had heard about it in advance from someone they could trust.
The ‘Apostle of the Foreign God’, summoned by the Immortal King, has descended on this land where they live and seeks to destroy the world!
Kwaaaaang—!
And there was a group that was close to the hot topic where the commotion was going on right now.
“There was indeed a reason why the High Lord said that. This kind of energy. “Are you a spy for foreign media…?”
“Hmm, Bricky. “I don’t think it’s time to talk so casually.”
“Ugh, this… It would have been difficult to do anything if the High Lord hadn’t given me grace.”
It was the elite hybrid combat unit that moved quickly according to the orders of Heinz II.
As soon as they got used to the newly given ‘Refined Blood Seal’, they immediately rushed here, but now they were hiding a little away and observing the battlefield closely.
“The hero of the Jushin Church, the fighting king of the southern barbarians, the high elf of the Elven Kingdom… Hmm, no matter how I look at it, I don’t think he’s an ordinary high elf. Is he the next Fairy King? Anyway, I’ve only heard it all, but it seems to be bigger than I thought. To be honest, I don’t have much confidence in my current country against them.”
“…But isn’t our High Lord the strongest?”
“you’re right. I was confident after receiving the strength this time. Even if he fights head-on with the Immortal King, he will never lose!”
“…Well, that might be it. “The problem now is that monster, which is immune to the combined efforts of those, including the High Lord.”
“……”
Bricky’s cool judgment made the other vampires who came with her fall silent.
To that extent, the majesty of that ‘apostle of the evil spirit from another world’ was overpowering.
Even they, who were boiling with loyalty due to the power-up just before, couldn’t bear to protest.
‘The dark magic and death remaining around… These are definitely the traces of the Immortal King. Judging by the hostile reverberations, it seems like there was a collision once. It seems like it wasn’t completely controlled.’
That was a fortunate fact.
In a situation where the Immortal King alone was too much, if there had been some kind of connection between the two, the problem would have been several times bigger than it is now.
‘Now that they are separated is an opportunity. Then… Ah?’
When Bricky and other hybrid elites were confused by incorrect information.
There were people quickly approaching where they were… or rather, into the middle of the battlefield, where a fierce battle was taking place.
A small number of people rush inside without hesitation, each with a solemn expression on their face.
“…You’re here. It’s time. “Now then, let’s get moving.”
The flow of the battlefield, which was in full swing, began to change.
***
“Kaaaa—!”
A large monster rushed towards me with its monster-like mouth wide open.
At that, Beoncheonhoeju’s expression frowned as if he had seen something he couldn’t see.
Kwaaaang—!
The visual peace that came back with a huge drinking binge.
But knowing that even that was only for a moment, his expression was never good.
“Tsk.”
I don’t know how the chimera’s body was eaten, but it had an excessive level of resistance to all hostile energies, including physical force and supernatural abilities, so it took a lot of effort to deal with it.
At a decent level, he couldn’t even catch his ankle for a moment, and even if he decided to cut his entire body, he would recover in an instant and attack again as if he had never been injured.
How could I not be annoyed in a situation like this?
‘What’s more…’
It wasn’t just the monster Harley who was so picky, but the rest of him as well.
Heinrich is surrounded by divine power, which is superior in nature, like an aura, and wields a holy sword with holy flames.
Harris fires a barrage of natural power by sniping non-stop from an unseen place.
Heinz II comes out of nowhere every time I relax for a moment and tries to take my breath away.
In addition, I was almost filled with admiration at the way they all complemented each other and moved organically, as if they had been a team for a long time.
Even though the person directly affected by the connection was himself.
‘I did… but in addition to that.’
The problem was that it wasn’t just the four of them that had to worry about it anymore.
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss—
!
It started with many arrows and magic flying from afar.
These attacks had a different nature from the fairy sniping that had been keeping Buncheonhoeju in check.
Needless to say, new people entered the war.
“Sorry for being late, saint! Are you okay?”
“…The surrounding spatial coordinates were so disorganized that there were limitations in moving directly.”
“But this energy… is it Mr. Harris? “How could someone who should be on the Enamel Continent be here…?”
The continent’s top powerhouses, including Saint Riesta, Archmage Isea, and High Elf Lydia, additionally joined.
“Woohuhu, you will live for a really long time and see. “I never thought I would do something like this.”
“The Fangs of the Hybrid have come under the command of the High Lord!”
“Please tell me anything!”
The vampires, who were just looking for the right moment to step forward, intervened in a timely manner and volunteered to assist them.
In particular, Brickie, who received additional reinforcements as a vampire of holy blood, was a great force that could move and play alone, so it became a big variable in a situation where attacks and defenses were repeated and stagnant.
‘It’s difficult.’
Beoncheonhoeju said a short word to himself and slowly looked around.
And I immediately finished assessing the situation objectively.
‘…Let’s get out of this place for now. ‘It’s just an inefficient waste of time to be stuck here any longer.’
It will be difficult if one-on-one fighting continues like this.
No matter what anyone says, the most efficient tactic that a strong minority can use against the majority is guerrilla warfare.
The best way to utilize his strengths was to force a close match against a small number of people, rather than being stuck in the plan they had set up like now.
But they probably don’t know that either, so they won’t let down their guard that easily.
‘Tsk, I guess I’m too greedy. I thought I’d be able to finish it and leave soon.’
Who would have thought that four strong players of that level would suddenly appear in a row?
Thinking about it now, it was clear that Hahoetal was targeting this situation when he provoked him.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk —
just as the tension was getting higher and higher.
Beoncheonhoeju could tell that some subtle string was circling around him, waiting for an opportunity.
It was a movement like a poisonous snake raising its head as if it would pounce at any moment it found an opportunity.
“Are you planning to run away?”
At the same time, a cold voice rang out softly.
It was the voice of someone who had caused Beuncheonhoeju quite a bit of trouble until now.
“vampire.”
As he slowly looked away, his bright eyes met the cold gaze of Heinz II.
Pajik—!
Lord Buncheon has also traveled through quite a few dimensions and seen countless vampires, but in fact, this was his first time encountering such a high-ranking vampire.
Even the duke, who was a member of the bodyguard directly under the head of the Buncheonhoe, was not at that level.
‘Well, it’s rude to compare in the first place. Rather, did they use causality to block the escape route? ‘This is going to be annoying.’
Beoncheonhoeju, who had no way of knowing that the opponent had eaten the duke and climbed over the wall, did not think further and devised a workaround.
It seemed like he had not yet reached his full potential as he had only recently reached the level, but despite his inexperience, his opponent was undoubtedly a semi-god.
Even if he is superior in terms of the world, he is not an easy opponent to deal with in a situation where the world is hostile.
If it were just that one vampire, he would have been able to break through somehow, but in a situation where so many people were targeting him, it was difficult in many ways.
Of course, it’s not that there are no other methods, but since it can only be used once, it’s better to save it for a more decisive moment…
‘…No. Rather, this could be a good opportunity. No matter how you look at it, the people gathered here are at the top of this world. That means…’
He was saying that by coming here to capture them, other important places were left defenseless.
Moreover, it will probably take quite some time for them to return to their original positions.
‘okay. Let’s just end it quickly.’
In the end, he took out the ‘down payment’ much earlier than expected.
Although he is a god who has fallen and is imprisoned in the abyss.
A portion of the karma received from dealing with a being who is also a true deity in this world.
“…!”
The first to feel something was Heinz II, who had been perceiving the flow of cause and effect with his senses sharpened throughout, but it was the four avatars connected as one that moved in response.
“Where!”
“Lord, please give me the strength to judge the heretics that are disturbing this land!”
“Kahahaha! come here!”
Wedge—!
Following Heinz’s guidance, the snake of cause and effect rushed towards Buntianhoeju, the brilliance that exploded from Heinrich’s body spread out like a beam of light, and Harley’s body instantly broke through supersonic speed, piercing the space like a missile, and the arrow fired by Harris It arrived in an instant and dissipated a huge amount of energy.
“attack!”
“Ice Nova!”
“Tear it apart!”
And although it was a beat late, their urgent response made everyone else on the scene attack at once.
Although he could not clearly understand the situation, he took part in it without realizing it.
Quagwagwagwang—!
however.
“This is a truly grand welcome.”
With that level of attack, it was too much to stop Buncheonhoeju, whose limits were expanded by instantly throwing away the restrictions of the world through the karma of a god.
He let out most of the attacks from a distance and sighed with satisfaction as he blocked several attacks, including the causal snake that followed him until the end.
The shackles binding my limbs were broken, and supreme power spread out into the White Sea.
His gaze naturally turned to those who had bothered him.
‘I guess I’ll have to endure it for now. ‘Because it doesn’t last that long.’
Chiiing—
As a side effect, his brain started buzzing and he heard tinnitus again, but this was just something he was used to by now.
And when the pain gradually subsides.
A single coordinate began to scatter around in his mind.
‘Right now, I prioritize my goals. It is also essential to complete the contract.’
What he needs to achieve what he wants when he visits this world.
And what his collaborator wants to do to get above ground once again.
In the end, he postponed his punishment and began to control the space to create a passage.
It’s shaky—! Pajik!
A passage in space that is slowly being completed despite everyone’s sabotage, including Heinz’s causal manipulation.
Although it took quite a while for him to resist, he was eventually able to achieve what he wanted.
“You were persistent until the end. Well, I’m busy with work, so I’ll just leave. “It was quite enjoyable entertainment.”
“Stand there! Running away…!”
However, after lightly mocking Beoncheonhoeju, he did not listen to what was said and took a big step forward.
It went beyond space.
A place set as a target.
It is the center of the Aeon Continent and the place where the most sacred land shrine is located.
***
When the sabotage work to block the creation of the Beoncheonhoeju passage was in full swing.
As thoughts accelerated, the self-awareness of the avatars exchanged at a rapid pace.
Identify the destination of the passage… The south gate of the Holy Place Roselia Grand Temple.
Target’s ETA…2 minutes and 23 seconds later.
‘As expected, it’s a good thing I prepared in advance.’
Henry, using the “princely authority,” conveyed the promised will to the cardinal.
And the result.
Beoncheonhoeju was able to receive a grand welcome ceremony as soon as he arrived there.
“Activate the sacred barrier!”
“I will judge heresy in the name of the Holy God!”
Tens of thousands of crusaders, over a thousand priests, hundreds of paladins, and dozens of high-ranking bishops.
They all chanted prayers in unison on the huge sacred formation.
To meet the enemies of the world.
