My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness - Chapter 75
#75
Brokoslak Clan (2)
After Heinz obtained information about Phrygia through Rosilica, he worked diligently to subordinate the vampires spread throughout the capital.
“Purified blood tablets” force the body’s blood-sucking factor to evolve from the moment it is injected into the body.
And the moment the vampire’s blood-sucking factor, the source of the vampire’s power and supernatural ability, was altered, the ‘subordination of blood’ that was tied to it also had no choice but to be forcibly changed.
From ‘Brokoslak’ to ‘Heinz II’.
Heinz told the subordinated vampires the lies he had told Rosilica and instructed them to move as usual.
‘Because we intentionally injected only a small amount of purified blood tablets to minimize the deterioration of the blood. ‘In most cases, you won’t notice anything wrong.’
High-ranking vampires who are sensitive to the smell of blood may feel a little uncomfortable, but who would think that the flags of those who were eating together until yesterday would suddenly change?
In the first place, the very premise that the vampire factor degenerates and changes in the dependency relationship is impossible in this world.
It might have been that he had gone completely crazy due to predation on his own kind, but that wasn’t the case, so it was an unpredictable situation from the beginning.
‘Because of that, Rosilica and other vampires were able to believe me more easily.’
Because I was able to force myself to accept that it might be possible if it were a collateral branch branched from the same root.
Of course, I still didn’t understand it, but since it had already happened, I just understood it and moved on.
However, there will be some among them who are particularly loyal, so even if you establish strong control, you will not be able to hide it for long.
And the person most at risk of being discovered is Frisia Brokoslak, the head of surveillance within the capital.
Heinz immediately prepared the stage to lure her based on the information he obtained from several vampires.
‘Then shall we try catching a big fish?’
After completing the preparations, the moment of execution soon arrived.

“Princess Bright, you look really beautiful today as well.”
“Would you like to take a look at the new ruby necklace we just received? It was made by a very famous craftsman these days…”
Phrygia Brokoslak was leading a leisurely, luxurious life as usual.
Today is the day to patrol the southern district.
After leisurely shopping at a jewelry store, she enjoyed tea and refreshments under the awning of the rooftop garden of a luxury cafe and looked down at the busy people on the street.
“It’s always fun to watch. They look like they are struggling hard to survive somehow. Huhuhu….”
Her external identity was ‘Freesia Bright’, and she was a member of the Bright Duke family, a powerful family in the Kingdom of Thalia.
As the only ducal family in Thalia, they boasted omnipotent power within the kingdom, surpassing the influence of the royal family.
‘Most of them are already just our puppets. I can’t go to the front because of the denomination, but this is enough.’
The only thing they cared about was that the main church’s Thalia diocese was showing signs of expanding its power with the support of the main church.
‘Rod will try his best, but I think it will be more troublesome in the future.’
Still, if there was a movement of opposition at the kingdom level using political means, the church would not be able to move hastily.
One of the reasons why the denomination has been able to receive everyone’s respect is because it always asks for understanding and permission whenever it wants to do something somewhere.
Because they showed consideration for other forces and refrained from interfering in internal affairs as much as possible, other forces also expressed concessions and respect to the denomination.
During the time of the Immortal King’s subjugation team, the situation was so serious that it was difficult to respond even if they came out forcefully, but that doesn’t exist anymore.
Slurp—
Freesia took another sip of the tea.
Enjoying good-smelling tea was also one of her small hobbies.
The moment she was enjoying her hobby and spending leisurely time…
“Hmm?”
Outside the south gate of the capital, at the edge of her detection range, she felt an unfamiliar vampire energy approaching the capital.
“What… is this? “The energy seems to be that of a pureblood, but something is strange?”
Frisia, who was slightly furrowing her brow, put down her teacup and stood up.
If you don’t know, shouldn’t you check it yourself?
As she had excellent senses, she was the type of person who, when something was unclear, had to check it out to resolve her curiosity.
Judging by their energy, they were not that much of a threat to her as a Jinhyeol, and there was no way they would do something stupid like challenge them to a fight within Brokoslak’s territory.
Hwiik—
Her figure disappeared from the rooftop garden as a ray of wind…
A moment later, the figure appeared on a hill outside the castle walls.
Behind the back of an unknown vampire who has stopped moving and is quietly looking at the capital.
She opened her mouth while leisurely twirling the parasol she was wearing.
“What are you? Wouldn’t it be better to reveal it plainly…?”
Woe!
But at that moment.
The thick smell of blood spread everywhere, and a blood-red pattern emerged from the ground as if surrounding the hill they were on.
She didn’t know it, but it was a barrier created using “Concealment” and “Mystery of Blood.”
As soon as it was activated, the internal and external space was completely cut off.
Now, until the barrier is destroyed, not a single ounce of energy will escape, let alone escape.
“…trap?”
However, Freesia still looked calm and just frowned and looked around.
His lofty pride in being Jinhyeol and the confidence that he had an accurate understanding of his opponent’s strength made it impossible for him to even feel a sense of crisis.
“Can I take this as a challenge to this Phrygian brokoslak?”
The eyes that had been disguised as blue slowly turned red.
And her bewitching gaze filled with will slowly turned towards the vampire with black hair and black eyes who was looking back.
“Kneel down right then and there… Ugh!”
She was casting the Magic Eye while looking into the opponent’s eyes, but she took a few steps back and distorted her eyes.
A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her eye as she hastily avoided eye contact.
‘Did my magical eye pop out?! This level of repulsion is ridiculous!’
Before she knew it, his black eyes also turned blood-red and he was staring at her.
And it was only then that Phrygia realized that her opponent was not just a pureblood.
It was Jinhyeol who had such great skills that he completely deceived her, who was confident in her detection abilities.
“…What is your purpose? Jinhyeol invades Brokoslak’s territory without a word. Are you saying we want to go to war?”
She raised her tension and slowly folded the parasol.
Although he could not use his magic eyes, he stared at him intently without even blinking his eyes in order not to miss his opponent’s movements.
The moment when the tension reached its peak.
“My purpose?”
The black-haired vampire smiled slightly and slowly opened his mouth.
“It’s all about Brokoslag.”
Pow—!
Immediately afterwards, with a shock wave exploding…
Frisia Brokoslak and Heinz II collided head-on.
***
Every time the remnants of energy spread along with heavy drinking, the barrier surrounding the surroundings continued to shake.
An aristocratic woman in her early 20s with gorgeous blonde hair.
Contrary to its delicate appearance, the fight against Phrygia was not easy, as was true to its true nature.
Hiss— Kwaang!
A parasol covered in blood magic had drawn a dizzying path and occupied the direction in which Heinz would move.
Even from Heinrich’s point of view, it was a proper swordsmanship that he had learned and mastered over a long period of time.
‘I thought it was natural that he was a magic person since he uses the magical eye, but I was quite embarrassed when I heard that he was a non-fighter.’
Even though I already knew what to do before starting the fight, the synergy between the vampire’s body and the swordsmanship trained over many years was beyond imagination.
The moment he strikes off the tip of the parasol that sharply stabs his upper body, he uses the recoil to draw a semicircle and immediately slashes at his leg.
I raise my knees and bounce it…
‘Is it light?’
There is no feeling of weight in the attack.
Kwasik!
At the same time, her pointed high heel, which deceived Heinz’s senses, was stretched out and stuck into his ankle.
The moment Heinz stumbled for a moment, the parasol was thrown into his heart again.
Kwaang—!
Heinz, who had barely managed to block the parasol with his guard raised quickly using “Acceleration,” lost his balance and was thrown helplessly backwards.
However, Freesia, who had made an effective hit, just glared at him with a slightly annoyed expression as the distance between them widened.
“Hmm, indeed… that’s amazing.”
There was only a slight admiration on Heinz’s face as he lightly rotated his shoulders and stretched.
It was an attack filled with so much blood magic that it could pierce steel like tofu, but it was only enough damage to him that he could easily recover from it.
“you…! What a body! Plus, blood magic power!”
Phrygia gritted her teeth again and grabbed the parasol.
Heinz was inferior to her in terms of experience and fighting skills, but in all other areas, the gap was even greater.
Overwhelming spec differences resulting from “mixed-blood evolution.”
Physical abilities, including strength, speed, and durability, as well as the amount of blood magic power and ability to apply control were all on a different level.
In an instant, the blood magic concentrated at the hitting point releases the attack, and the body absorbs the shock by dispersing it throughout the body.
In the meantime, the damage suffered was recovered in a blink of an eye through “super regeneration,” which was a shock to Phrygia.
‘What can we do with this much… We are still fighting with quite a penalty.’
From the beginning, Heinz’s fighting style was closer to that of an assassin who made secret and lethal attacks.
They are just fighting head-on to prevent her from destroying the barrier.
No matter how elaborate the barrier was, it would not be able to withstand for long against the attack Jinhyeol made.
Also, the constant leakage of blood magic to protect the barrier from the aftermath of the collision was also a minor handicap.
‘But perhaps because he is a vampire who has lived for over a hundred years, his state is unusual. Even though their specs are so different, there is no chance of winning if they face each other head-on in close combat.’
Of course, this side will not lose, so the fight will continue endlessly.
Phrygia’s blood magic was at level 7 by Earth’s standards, but its combat power was on a different level from that of the hardliner Betas.
This may be the difference between an awakened person who has grown rapidly with all kinds of growth corrections and unique skills, and a person from another world who has refined themselves over a long period of time.
“It’s really great, but it’s a little disappointing. Do you have any intention of following me? “It can make you much stronger than you are now.”
I tried to express my intention to recruit her, just in case, but all she got back was a look in her eyes as if she were looking at some crazy person.
Unfortunately, it seemed like she would also have to use some force.
‘Now that the analysis of Frisia has been completed to some extent.’
There is bound to be a difference between the information you hear from others and the information you actually experience.
In order to take control of Jinhyeol, who was neither a residual blood nor a pureblood, it was necessary to properly understand the opponent.
“I can’t help it. But if you keep getting it right, your thoughts will probably change.”
“Ha… That’s true. Your skills are beyond me. And no matter how hard the body is, if you keep pounding and pounding, eventually… Huh?!”
After that, a blood-red blade was shot from the barrier behind her.
The blade that grazed her as she twisted her body reached the barrier on the other side and naturally melted and disappeared.
“you…!”
“I don’t know what I misunderstood, but I’m not a fighter like you. “Up until now, we’ve just been hanging out.”
From the beginning, this interior was Heinz’s domain.
As he used “Blood Mystery” more actively, part of the barrier raised its teeth according to his will.
All kinds of attacks, including blades, arrows, harpoons, and chains, were aimed at Phrygia.
The blood magic that started from Heinz and the blood magic that was ejected from the barrier created synergy and messed up her hands and feet.
Plus….
Kwaang—!
“Wow!”
He momentarily used “Concealment” and “Invisibility,” found an opening with “Perception,” then dug in with “Acceleration,” and plunged a fist full of blood magic into her side.
A bloody chain wrapped around her body as it bounced sideways and countless blood magic linked to it.
However, Heinz slowly frowned and looked at his shoulder.
‘As expected, it’s not that easy.’
Freesia’s instantaneous counterattack just as the attack hit left a hole in his shoulder.
They were so focused on attacking that they didn’t properly defend themselves.
Of course, I recovered instantly with “super regeneration,” but I needed to be more careful.
As Heinz tightened her breathing more thoroughly, the subsequent situation became one-sided.
She struggled to get out somehow, but her strength gradually weakened, as if she was sinking deeper and deeper into the mire.
And finally.
“You lasted longer than I thought.”
“Ugh… It’s all you…!”
Freesia, whose entire body was covered in rags, was sprawled out in front of Heinz, bound in chains.
It was the moment when one of the true blood of the Brokoslak Clan finally fell into Heinz’s hands.
