My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness - Chapter 77

#77

Brokoslak Clan (4)

Knock—

“It’s Lord Phrygia. “I have something to tell you. Can I come in?”

“Come in.”

With permission coming from inside, the door opened, revealing an interior engulfed in black darkness.

In the darkness, only a pair of red eye lights revealed their presence.

“Load too. Light some candles or light bulbs. “There’s no need to keep it dark like this, right?”

“It’s not human and I just don’t feel the need for it.”

Perhaps because they were members of the same Jinhyeol group, the atmosphere was more informal than expected.

While they were talking, Heinz quietly followed Freesia into the room and looked around the inside carefully.

‘That’s amazing. I’ve heard that Lord is a wizard type, but it’s a blood magic barrier like this. There is no separate fortress.’

Blood-red patterns were drawn densely on the walls, floor, and ceiling of the large space.

Even the decorations inside the room were all objects that aided magic.

‘I feel uncomfortable because I feel like I’ve entered the wizard’s domain carelessly…’

Tensions rose again at the numerous barriers that were analyzed as the “mystery of blood.”

But there was no choice.

Mulo Brokoslak, a vampire who has lived for hundreds of years, has not taken a single step out of his room for decades.

He built a fortress in the safest place and stayed there, only moving his subordinates to handle various tasks.

Because of his obsessive pursuit of safety, it was not easy to lure him out.

‘But if you make a sudden surprise attack a little closer, before you can activate the barrier…’

“But Phrygia. “Who is the author?”

At that time, Mulo looked at Heinz standing behind her and asked softly.

It was an opportunity to get closer.

“Ah, Rod. I just wanted to introduce you to you? Heinz, come this way.”

Before Heinz could step forward at her words with a smile on his face, Mulo slowly opened his mouth again.

“Oh, before that… I have something I want to ask you, Freesia.”

“yes? “Please tell me anything.”

He picked up the glass bottle and wine glass on the table next to him and spoke in a nonchalant tone as if it was nothing special.

“Have you changed your perfume?”

Squeak—

Red liquid filling a wine glass.

The faint smell of blood spread throughout the room.

“I’ve been with you for over a hundred years, but there’s a very unfamiliar scent that I’ve never smelled before.”

Mulo calmly shakes the glass and savors the scent.

But the gaze did not leave the two people for even a moment.

“I don’t even know the cause.”

In the stiffening atmosphere, Freesia smiled and came up with an excuse she had prepared in advance.

“Ah, Rod. “That’s…”

“More than anything.”

But Mulo didn’t seem to have any intention of listening to her answer even though he asked her first.

“I feel a distance from you today.”

He was already sure.

I don’t know what they did, but I’m saying that Freesia escaped Brokoslak’s shadow.

‘This is hot.’

As soon as he made his decision, Heinz, who used “Acceleration,” rushed towards him like a thunderbolt.

At the same time, Phrygia’s parasol, which was a little closer, was thrown towards Mulo, but it seemed to be blocked by something before it could reach him and could not go any further.

Hwaaaak—

The blood pattern drawn throughout the room glowed red and distorted the space.

The area, which was just a rather large room, continued to expand, and the distance between them and Mulo widened in an instant.

‘Ah, that’s why I should have stuck with it as much as possible.’

Although he was a being specialized in magic, he was also a true vampire.

His reaction speed was also on a different level from that of a typical wizard, so I wanted to approach him cautiously and get to work, but he got caught before I could.

‘I guess I found Lord too easy.’

Still, it was a moment when he thought that he and Freesia could easily win with Mulo.

“Children of Brokoslak. “Come to me.”

Pools of blood appeared in various places in the vast space, and vampires appeared one by one from there.

“Huh? This? “The Lord called!”

“First prepare for battle!”

When Heinz was preparing for battle, frowning at the sudden increase in the opponent’s troops…

“…What is this? “There’s only so much left in the capital?”

Even Mulo, who had called his subordinates, was embarrassed.

Because the number of people who responded to the ‘call of blood’ that summons nearby blood relatives was only about half of the original number.

“Freesia…what on earth have you done?”

Hearing his low growl as he glared at her, Phrygia sighed and stepped forward.

“So…”

She then went on to ramble on about her grand plans with Heinz.

This time, Mulo listened to her excuse to the end without interrupting.

“So what you’re saying is, let’s believe in such nonsense and offer up the entire clan to this guy whose identity we don’t even know?”

Of course, the reaction wasn’t that good.

“No, but it has already been proven…”

“What do you mean? “Yes, it’s great that we subjugated our blood relatives without killing them, but is there any evidence that this will work for other clans as well?”

There was nothing to prove it other than Heinz’s words.

“And does he have the ability to subdue all clans and take them under his command? You know that too, right? “Bisque Eupersch inherited the Holy Blood.”

Because of that, he was so frightened that he was unable to engage in external activities and was confined to this place for decades.

“Well… That’s…”

“…It looks like he’s possessed by something. “It is something that cannot be helped since ‘blood subordination’ has passed.”

If I left their conversation like this any longer, it seemed like Phrygia’s momentum would only be lost.

In fact, because she had made a slight hint using the “Mystery of Blood,” Heinz, feeling a little prickly, stepped in front of her and faced Mulo from the front.

“You have a long tongue. In other words, doesn’t that mean you don’t believe I have that much ability?”

“You guy…”

“I didn’t even expect to be able to solve it verbally from the beginning. “I’ll just hit it directly on your body and leave it imprinted on you.”

And Heinz approached him with all his might for the first time since the fight with the hardliners of the clan. Every time

he

took one step at a time, a thick blood-red aura began to spread out from Heinz’s body in all directions.

“Hmph!”

“This is…”

The power of a predator that has continued to evolve by hunting vampires from countless dimensions and collecting their vampire factors.

Brokoslak’s vampires retreated without even realizing it due to their instinctive intimidation.

And Mulo was also affected by that momentum.

Heinz, who smiled coldly at that hard face, became a ray of wind and flew towards him.

***

“Stop it!”

“It’s too strong… ugh—!”

Mulo frowned as he looked at the situation in front of him.

This was his territory, which had been strengthened over a long period of time.

Summoned blood relatives become much stronger than on the outside, and enemies become weaker due to all kinds of debuffs.

His blood magic added to it was also enough to tear the opponent to pieces.

But…

‘What is it? ‘How on earth?’

His subordinates fell like leaves in a cold wind, and his magic strangely did not have much of an effect on Heinz.

Although the subordinates who received assistance from the barrier continued to regenerate even after their heads were cut off and their hearts exploded, if things continued like this, only meaningless consumption would continue.

In particular, the biggest problem was that they could not keep up with Heinz’s fast speed.

‘That won’t work. We need resources that can keep up with its speed.’

Even his firepower support had its limits.

Once the front line is breached, the situation will only get worse, so it was necessary to prepare countermeasures right away.

“…come to me. Obor—!”

A puddle of blood formed again in front of Mulo, who sighed deeply and recited a spell.

And there, a white-haired boy slowly appeared.

“…What’s this? Why did you suddenly call me, Lord? No, but why is the situation here like this!”

‘Obor Brokoslak’, who was called by the sudden call, looked around in confusion, but following Mulo’s command, he immediately went out to tie Heinz’s feet.

It was only after Jinhyeol, which could keep up with Heinz’s speed, was deployed that the balance of the battlefield was barely maintained.

‘I never thought Phrygia would become that strong…’

Obor participated, and even though all the other vampires except him rushed to deal with her, all he could do was tie up Phrygia’s feet.

Despite the fact that the weakening effect of the barrier was applied properly, they were fighting against a group of vampires who were much stronger than before.

“It seems like you have the qualifications to say such a cheeky thing.”

I felt like I had to push myself a little harder.

Mulo muttered lowly with a stern expression and slowly took a deep breath.

***

Kwaaaang—!

Heinz trampled and crushed the blood-red thorns rising from the floor, and at the same time blocked the quickly approaching boy’s hand blade.

“shit! “Why is this guy’s body so hard!”

Obor Brokoslak, a white-haired boy, became angry and clung to Heinz again.

My pride was hurt by the fact that even holding onto the opponent’s feet was difficult despite the rod’s reinforcement, but I had no time to worry about that now.

In addition to his incredible strength and solid body, he also has speed and the ability to hide his presence that would amaze even Jinhyeol, a strange type of blood magic assassin whose origin is unknown.

Every time I used that ability to momentarily outsmart him and rush towards Rod, it was enough to make me feel cold.

‘Put some strange energy on top of that! What is this? ‘Mental attack?’

Obor’s brow furrowed at the intimidating effect of a predator on a vampire.

Although it didn’t have a big impact on him as a Jinhyeol, he was constantly distracted by the subtle discomfort he felt during the extreme battle.

But dealing with them was definitely not easy for Heinz.

‘This is a fight against a magician who has properly established his territory. As expected, dealing with two Jinhyeol inside the barrier is tricky.’

During the fight with Obor, he once again combined “Concealment” and “Invisibility” to hide his presence and even used “Acceleration” to approach Mulo… but

at that moment, blood mist rising from all directions clung to Heinz .

It stopped him for a split second.

And that split second was enough time for Obor to react.

Quang!

“no use! “Where are you going?”

Obor, who had briefly eluded him, grabbed his ankle again and a battle broke out.

I tried many different methods, but it was impossible to surprise Muloman from inside the barrier.

‘Is there no other way than to break in from the front? A wizard who confines himself to his own territory is a troublesome being.’

If it had not been possible to ‘ignore some of the hostile abilities of other vampires’ while evolving by preying on Earth’s vampires, it would probably have been a very difficult situation.

Thanks to this ability, which not only has the weakening effect of the barrier, but is also excellent against magic such as blood magic, the battle was able to continue more easily.

at that time.

Through his keen senses and “Seeing Through” and “Mystery of Blood,” an abnormality was detected all at once.

The weak weakening effect that bound her disappeared, and Phrygia, who had been tied down by the vampires on one side, instantly overwhelmed them.

On the other hand, Obor, who was charging at him, lost strength momentarily and a gap was exposed.

He reflexively inserted his blood-covered fist into the gap and analyzed the situation.

‘The effect of the barrier has disappeared? Why all of a sudden?’

The answer to that question was immediately apparent the moment Obor, hit by his blow, was enveloped in blood-red petals and bounced away.

A very fleeting moment when you are defenseless right after a successful attack.

Without any sign—Mullo appeared next to him.

At that ghost-like appearance, I used “Acceleration” to retreat without any further thought, but…

Shoo!

Sigh—!

Blood flowed in the air.

“…You’re quick too.”

Mulo, who attacked, was crying and laughing.

“This is difficult.”

Heinz frowned and muttered lowly.

Although he had moved back a long way in response to the attack, he never looked fine.

Even though I reacted instantaneously…the part of my right arm below the elbow was torn off.

And that arm.

Mulo’s long, sharp nails were held in one hand.
