My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness - Chapter 39

Jin So-ran (3)

As the sun was setting.

After properly greeting the clan members here and looking for Jin So-ran, I saw her talking to someone.

“So you’re saying there’s nothing we can do about it now?”

“yes. “I think the higher-ups are being cautious because this is a serious issue.”

“Ha… you can’t do it. All right.”

“Then I’ll just leave.”

The person he was talking to disappeared and Jin So-ran was left alone, looking at the ground, frowning and thinking.

Heinz looked at her for a moment and then approached her.

“It looks like something didn’t go well, right?”

“ah! Mr. Heinz. “Are you here?”

“So what’s going on? “Your face doesn’t make sense.”

She smiled awkwardly and avoided eye contact, then sighed and opened her mouth.

“It’s not particularly confidential, and Mr. Heinz is also a party, so you should know. “You reported something to your superiors, right?”

“Are you saying that the Gamma gang preyed on their own kind?”

“Yes, that one. An investigation team was dispatched, but they were unable to find any evidence that Hahoetal burned everything down after the attack. Since it is a sensitive issue, we cannot make any rash moves without evidence…”

She looked sullen and was unable to continue speaking.

He seemed upset because he went through all that trouble and saw no progress.

‘I did go to great lengths to erase Heinz’s traces.’

Since this is a world where all kinds of worldly techniques exist, we took thorough measures to hide Heinz’s predation on his own kind.

The entire inside of the building was completely destroyed by hellfire filled with Hans’ dark magic.

‘In fact, only the outside was fine, but the inside was completely melted. So much so that it wouldn’t be surprising if it collapsed at any time. Additionally, any search is impossible due to the influence of dark magic.’

I feel sorry for her, but there was little chance that things would work out the way she wanted anyway, so this was the best.

Other information was more important now.

“yes? “Where are the hardliners based?”

Jin So-ran asked back in confusion, perhaps because it was an unexpected question.

“Can I know why you’re asking…?”

He seemed anxious, wondering if his mind had changed.

Due to the nature of the moderate faction, there was bound to be a lack of force, and especially yesterday, two strong factions betrayed and deserted.

That’s why she welcomed Heinz’s joining more than anyone else.

“After what happened yesterday, I think they are more dangerous than I thought. “If that’s what happened, wouldn’t you at least know the location so you can avoid it?”

“oh! okay! We have to be careful until everything is definitely resolved. “I need to warn our crew members again.”

Jin So-ran nods and agrees with the excuse he has just given.

She willingly told us all the strong-liner bases she knew.

“Ah… my phone got smashed. Please turn on the map app. “I will take as many pictures as I know.”

A bit too hard.

As the clan was made up of several factions, there was no detailed information about each other.

However, through periodic exchanges, I knew at least a certain amount about those nearby.

“done. For now, this is as much as I know. Is there anything else you need?”

“No, it’s okay. “Thank you for your concern.”

As for the rest, you can find out by searching their brains.

All I had to do was roughly select those with the vampire factor I had already acquired and hand them over to Hans.

Meanwhile, as I looked at Jin So-ran’s smiling face in front of me, I suddenly remembered the information I had found out in the morning.

“Are you planning to broadcast from now on?”

“…Nehehe?!”

I must have chewed my tongue in embarrassment and came up with a strange answer.

“Uh… did you know…?”

The tips of her ears slowly turned red, probably because she was embarrassed, but it would be a gentleman’s duty to pretend not to notice here.

“I knew it from the beginning. “It’s an orchid, right?”

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu looking at us, it must have given us a very different impression than when it was broadcast, but you managed to recognize us. “I’m embarrassed because it’s my first time hearing this in front of my face…”

Jin So-ran tries to regain her composure while twirling her hair with her fingers.

I blushed beyond the tips of my ears and down to the nape of my neck, but decided not to mention it.

“Ho… have you ever seen my broadcast? Are you really a follower? “You didn’t even subscribe?!”

Her shy voice gradually became louder, and at the end she became excited and shouted.

I think I was very nervous after suddenly meeting viewers.

“No, I just remembered something I saw on the Internet and did a quick search.”

“Is that so? I’m glad.”

It was a subtle expression of happiness but also disappointment.

“But it’s definitely a good method. You can engage in social activities without having to meet in person. “How did it start?”

“Um… I used to be an idol trainee. Before going to this world. “Something bad happened so I quit, but when I came back after a difficult time, I was very disappointed.”

So, he started broadcasting to follow the public’s interest.

He also added that during the broadcast, he put on makeup to resemble how he looked before becoming a vampire.

“Weren’t you caught by the Ability Management Bureau after you came back? “It must have been a gap of several months.”

“When I awakened, there was no such system. I think it happened shortly after I came back…”

She answered with a shy smile.

But there was one thing I was curious about.

“If you went to another world when you quit being a trainee… how old are you now?”

“Oh, I woke up when I was 18. Because I dropped out of school to become an idol, I wasn’t known to those around me. “I’m 22 now.”

You were older.

I tried to put on a solemn expression and quietly avoided her gaze.

Now it’s out of fashion to treat someone older.

“Hang on, haven’t you spent a few years in this world?”

“Yes?”

“Then you have to include that period to get your real age….”

“I’m 22.”

She cut me off, still smiling brightly.

“Um…”

“I’m 22 years old. Shall I put on an ID card?”

“No, it’s okay. Originally, age was calculated based on the year of birth.”

I tried to agree, pushing away the woman who made a smiling face with sparkling eyes.

Yes, age is probably an important issue. I was so insensitive.

“Then, good work. I’ll just go now. “If anything happens, please contact me.”

Crew members do not all live together in one place.

Of course, it was recommended for safety reasons, but it was enough for those who had separate homes to gather together when necessary.

‘Then where should we visit first?’

I slowly quenched my appetite while looking at the map app.

I felt like I was wondering what to choose from the buffet.

***

Late night.

“Kk… kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk… I think I can get away with this…”

Kwajik—!

There was quite a commotion in a family home in a luxury apartment building, but no one noticed.

‘Concealment’ is useful in many ways.’

It surprises unwary vampires, inflicts fatal damage, and builds a cloaking field around them to eliminate any sign of battle.

It was Heinz’s main skill that allowed him to go hunting vampires alone.

‘I’m just grateful to Gamma. ‘I can’t believe you took care of me so generously.’

In addition to “concealment,” Heinz’s new favorite sports car, as well as all kinds of valuable items, as well as all kinds of magic tools and research equipment, were packed into Hans’ subspace, so there was no tree that gave generously.

‘Thanks to you, I was able to work so comfortably.’

Heinz sucked the blood of the subdued vampire and planned the next attack location.

Based on the information received from Jin So-ran, Hans and Heinz attacked the gathering place of the hardliner crew.

The suppression of the internal personnel was completed in an instant, and Hans searched the minds of several smart-looking guys.

Newly acquired information.

‘Those who are part of the crew but do not live on the base. As information about the attack has not been delivered, it is a good opportunity to individually destroy those who are off guard.’

The two, who were scattered like that, each set a goal and were eliminating them one by one.

《Collect new blood-sucking factors. Due to the special skill “Mixed Blood Evolution,” the individual’s blood control improves.》

Compared to Hans, it was disappointing, but Heinz was no longer weak.

Although the amount of vampire factor is still insufficient, it remains a pureblood, but considering the power of the evolved factor, its combat power will be equivalent to that of true blood.

‘And now that’s not much left. I think the next one will probably be the last one.’

I observed the inside, feeling the cells of my entire body evolving further.

I could feel my vampire factor reaching a certain limit and my inner strength boiling over.

“I guess I’ll have to clean up here first and move on.”

Heinz drew on his newfound power.

Both palms were torn, creating wounds, and a mist of blood was gushing out from them.

Puhwaak!

Blood splattering everywhere.

and.

Beautiful red flowers bloomed in places where blood was stained.

Burning—

a field of blood-red flowers burning and spreading around.

It was the skill “Blood Flower” that I acquired after attacking the base of the hardliners before coming here.

The burning blood flower did not emit any heat or smoke, but only burned the inside of the house and quickly disappeared.

It was a destructive flame that would not go out unless the caster wanted it to and burned only the target.

‘Well, that’s useless if the power gap is large.’

The previous user’s “Blood Flower” was extinguished like a candle by Hans’ overwhelming dark magic.

‘The physical traces were burned with “Blood Fire” and the magical traces were hidden with “Concealment,” so this is enough.’

The night was still long and there was plenty of game to hunt.

***

‘I finally achieved my goal.’

They say that happiness comes after hard work, and I finally reached what I wanted.

《Collect new blood-sucking factors. I gained enlightenment due to the influence of the special skill “Hybrid Evolution.” Acquire the skill 「Blood Flow Amplification」》

《The entity grows by meeting the conditions. The special skill 「Blood Clan (Pure Blood)」 evolves to 「Blood Clan (True Blood)」》 《

The individual’s recovery has exceeded its limit. The skill “Regeneration” evolves into the skill “Super Regeneration.”

All senses continue to expand.

The world was clearly recognized and things that were outside the scope of perception began to be perceived.

I could see the heat and smell the sound.

You can feel the smell through your skin and hear the waves around you.

“Whoa…”

Synesthesia has blossomed.

Immediately after the evolution, the dizzy feeling quickly stabilized.

‘If I wasn’t used to feeling various sensations through Avatar, I would have had a hard time for a while.’

I’m still a little confused, so I’ve said all this.

It may be a side effect of too rapid growth.

Normal Jinhyeol would have grown slowly over a long period of time, adapting to its power.

“Sseuup~ Haa….”

The moment I took a deep breath and adjusted to the new sensation, I saw Heinz’s image reflected in the mirror in the room.

‘…I can’t even find my original self anymore.’

A cold-looking handsome man with pale skin and sharp eyes.

Even the deadly atmosphere that lingered around was incredibly fascinating.

There was also the influence of retouching the facial features with the technology acquired through “Mixed-Blood Evolution” some time ago, so it was difficult to find a connection even if it stood side by side with the main body.

After admiring the handsome man in the mirror for a moment, I looked away.

And as I moved my body and adapted to my senses, I confirmed my new ability.

“Bloodflow Amplification,” acquired through hunting this time, was a buff skill that strengthened physical abilities and recovery abilities.

As it continues to evolve, its physical strength has increased rapidly, and if it uses this ability, it will be able to tear down quite a few opponents with its bare hands.

‘But the [Regeneration] skill has evolved again. At this level, it would be hard to die just by being beaten quietly, right?’

Heinz quietly raised his right index finger.

Red blood oozed out from around the fingernails and hardened into long, sharp nails.

‘Blood control has increased. It also accepts blood magic better.’

He drew a long line on his left arm with his sharp fingernails.

Wow!

Blood gushing out in an instant.

For a moment, red liquid filled the air.

The scattered blood stopped in the air and was sucked into the wound on his forearm, as if going back in time.

And there was no trace left on his left arm, which had healed in an instant.

‘The synergy between Jinhyeol’s blood control and “super regeneration” is incredible, isn’t it?’

Although some power is consumed during the regeneration process, it is only insignificant compared to the effect.

‘What if you recover by sucking the blood around you during the battle?’

It would be possible to use not only the blood scattered on the battlefield but also the blood that flowed from the opponent’s wounds.

The blood in another person’s body cannot be controlled because it contains the person’s mana and spirit… ‘

No, if it becomes holy blood, it might be possible.’

Holy blood is like the faith of the Outerica vampires.

It won’t be easy to reach.

‘When was it easy?’

Of course, I had no intention of giving up just because it was difficult.
