My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness - Chapter 79

#79

Object projection (1)

Mansion of Duke Bright family.

“Is this the end for everyone in the area?”

“Yes. “It would be more efficient to proceed with calling the rest sequentially.”

“…….”

“…it will.”

As Heinz sat in a comfortable armchair and looked at the person standing next to him, the man who was reporting there carefully corrected his tone.

It was very awkward because I hadn’t used the honorific in decades, but there was nothing I could do about it because I had to get used to it.

Now he was no longer the behind-the-scenes ruler of the Kingdom of Thalia.

‘As expected, since there are still loads left, the process of settling the clan is going smoothly.’

And Heinz smiled in satisfaction as he looked at Mulo, who was standing next to him and sighing.

At first, I thought for a while about what to do after subduing him, but the best way was to subordinate him.

Isn’t it true that they ate up the clan in the first place to take advantage of Brokoslak’s influence?

However, it could not be said that the power was fully taken over until Mulo, the most key figure, was excluded.

It was Mulo Brokoslak who led the clan for decades in the shadow of the Kingdom of Thalia to form the force it is today.

Although they are the same Jinhyeol, Obor and Phrygia, who are from the field faction, are irreplaceable figures.

‘Still, I’m glad it worked out as I thought. Otherwise, I would have had no choice but to deal with him.’

Mulo had blood magic power greater than that of Heinz, and his level of power was so high that he was an opponent whom it was impossible to guarantee whether he could be controlled properly.

But then a thought suddenly occurred to me.

If you’re worried because your opponent’s level is high, wouldn’t it be okay to forcefully lower it?

The source of a vampire’s power was the vampire factor contained in their blood.

So what if you suck it in just enough so that it doesn’t die?

The result was the current Mulo.

‘Still, I didn’t fall below Jinhyeol due to the status I had accumulated over the years.’

And the strength that has been lost will be steadily restored over time.

The process may have been difficult, but in return for satisfactorily feasting on the clan lord’s blood, his “purified blood essence” was abundantly filled, so the decline in combat power would not be that great.

‘Although a lot of ‘purified blood tablets’ were consumed, we were able to obtain better quality blood, so we have some left over for burial. Subordination to Mulo also became stronger.’

In addition, since there was no longer any need to hide the blood mutation, other blood relatives were called in one by one and injected with “purified blood essence” generously.

It was natural that, like Heterosis, they were excellent workers who would become his hands and feet.

As a result, the current strength of the clan in the capital had more than doubled compared to before.

“Then, let’s take care of bringing in people from the provinces and reorganizing the organization. “But there was a message from the main church?”

“That’s right. “It was about the resurrection of the immortal king.”

It still seemed difficult to show respect, but I didn’t worry about it because it would gradually get better if I practiced it a lot.

‘I knew that the church was preparing through various methods. Still, the power of the church cannot be further increased in the Kingdom of Thalia.’

It was as if this place was now in his hands.

Since there was no need to face uncomfortable neighbors, it seemed better to stick to the previous policy regarding the church.

“Then we will proceed in the same direction for the rest.”

“Oh, and prepare to collect information about the continent from various angles in the future. “I will leave it up to you to decide whether to form your own intelligence organization or enter into an agreement with an existing organization.”

“…okay. All right. “Now that you have proven your abilities, I will do my best to help you.”

After saying that, Mulo bowed his head slightly and quietly disappeared without making a sound.

‘…Oh, that was it.’

And Heinz, who belatedly understood Mulo’s reaction, scratched his chin with his fingertips and fell into trouble.

In fact, what I said at that time was just an empty check to get Freesia’s cooperation, so I forgot about it for a while.

It’s a promise that doesn’t matter if it’s only half-heartedly made now that the clan has already been completely swallowed up.

But when I thought about it again, it wasn’t like there was zero possibility.

‘Plus, I think it would be quite helpful. ‘I guess I’ll have to seriously think about it.’

Wouldn’t it be better to aim for the peak?

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to become the ‘Vampire King’… encompassing not only one clan but all vampires.

“Hmm… the vampire king…”

Heinz sank deeply into the armchair and quietly closed his eyes.

“Sir Heinrich! Are you returning to work now?”

“Haha—I’ve been resting for a long time, so now I have to work. “Shouldn’t you pay for the food?”

“Hey, what are you talking about? “No one has anything to say to Sir Heinrich, so you can rest a little longer.”

“Actually, I have a little soreness.”

About a month has passed since the Immortal King’s attack.

Heinrich, who was wearing armor and going to work, realized that his status had changed.

In fact, even during that time, I felt it every time I went out and met people.

The fact that the people here in the main shrine are particularly friendly towards him.

‘I planned to do that in the first place, but it’s more effective than I thought.’

The reason why the Immortal King was so quiet even though he was resurrected was because Heinrich had fatally wounded him, so he was able to gain time to prepare, albeit belatedly…

… It was a natural reaction, as the news spread throughout the church.

As I walked along, feeling satisfied, I found a saint squatting in front of a flower bed.

I followed the gaze as it was staring blankly at something, and sure enough, it was different.

The little ball bug was twitching and heading somewhere.

‘It’s the same every time I see it.’

He smiled slightly and cleared his throat lightly as he approached the saint.

“Hmm… Hello, saintess.”

“Ah! Sir Heinrich! long time no see. “I heard that you have recovered greatly, but are you completely healed now?”

“yes. Actually, I was fine for a while, but the healing priest in charge was very meticulous. “They said I should watch it closely for a month because I don’t know what kind of side effects there might be… hahaha.”

Of course, they checked so carefully because they were worried about him, but it was frustrating for Heinrich, who really had no problems.

Because of that, I had no choice but to be satisfied with the simple training facility attached to the treatment room.

‘Because there was no heavy lifting equipment there. ‘I need to train hard starting today to make up for the muscle loss I’ve lost.’

It is said that the facility was created at the request of the Paladins of the previous generation, so in a way, it was a very fortunate thing.

“When it comes to curses, no matter how careful you are, it’s not enough. If it’s a curse from the Immortal King, you have to be even more careful! “It’s natural.”

The saintess nodded with a firm expression, but suddenly looked apologetic as if something had occurred to her.

“Rather, Sir Heinrich. I’m sorry for not being able to visit you often. “I’ve been so busy coming up with countermeasures…”

She sighed with a sullen expression on her face.

It is said that he has been so busy with the Immortal King that he has not had time.

It was basic to convey information to various forces and consider ways to cooperate with them.

In order to come up with a specific response plan, we searched through various documents, sought advice from the Magic Tower Alliance, and contacted intelligence organizations.

In addition, they were interrogating the warlocks through the Heresy Inquisitor and even attempting to analyze the Immortal King Hans…

As they were literally mobilizing all means, the saintess in charge had no choice but to be busy showing her face here and there.

“Of course, the people working on the front lines are busier than me…”

She looked back at the flower beds with blurry eyes and a small smile appeared on her lips.

“I finished work early today, so I was able to go out to the flower bed for the first time in a long time… It’s a lucky day in many ways that I got to meet Lord Heinrich.”

The bug that was there had already disappeared, but the saintess gazed endlessly into the grass as if following its traces.

Heinrich quietly tilted his head at that sorrowful gaze.

‘…I feel like I’ve somehow become on the same level as the bug bug.’

Maybe it’s less than that, but it’s probably just my mood.

maybe.

“Hmm, saintess. “Then I’ll just go to work.”

“ah! I held on to it too long. Come to think of it, you are still receiving training at Radiance Guard, right?”

“Yes, it is. Since the incident occurred so soon before the period was left, I think I will still have a few more days before I will be assigned to the next Holy Knights.”

This was an unavoidable problem because the time spent in the treatment room was not included in the training period.

“I see… Sir Heinrich said that his ultimate goal is to become a Free Paladin, right?”

“yes. “I want to adventure around the continent, help those in need, and spread the word of God.”

Even if he became a free paladin, he could receive sufficient support from the church, but if he was tied to the paladin order, it would be difficult to prepare the necessary stage.

From the director’s perspective, the fewer restrictions placed on the actors, the better.

“Hmm—I see.”

In response to his answer, the saintess nodded slowly, contemplating something.

The moment Heinrich, who had greeted him again, turned around and was about to take a step.

“Oh! “You will have good news soon!”

I looked back at the sudden words, but she just smiled and waved her hands.

‘You make people curious and then stop talking…’

Still, I was able to roughly predict it.

I guess it’s something like a promotion.

He had made a great contribution this time, and it would have been difficult to leave a paladin with bishop-level divine power at the bottom forever.

‘If you give me anything, I’ll be the only one grateful.’

Heinrich smiled in anticipation and hurried back to work.

There was quite a delay, so I felt like I needed to hurry up a bit to avoid being late.

『Karma Store』

『Unique Skill Enhancement (900000)』

『Status Enhancement – View Details』

『Karma Possessed – 1393934』

Of course, I was able to earn a lot of karma by taking over the Brokoslag Clan this time.

Even though the unique skills were strengthened shortly after the attack on the Great Temple, this was a very encouraging result.

‘Because it means that everything is going smoothly as planned. Anyway, what do you want to get this time?’

In the last reinforcement session, I was able to create an elf avatar named Harris thanks to “Customization”.

By adjusting my abilities, I made a big contribution to my career as a spiritist.

In addition, changing the appearance of Hans, who was in the midst of maintaining public order, was a bonus.

It doesn’t mean much since you wear a mask anyway, but isn’t it a waste to put the abilities you’ve gained to rest?

‘If I made too big a change to the head, it would be difficult to cover it with a mask, so I couldn’t make a big change, but I put some effort into it.’

The result was…

a smooth skull boasting perfect sculpting, a sharp jaw line, well-aligned teeth, and sharply raised eye sockets.

It was a charismatic and handsome skeleton.

‘He’s an immortal king in name, so I have to do this much. Should we start strengthening now?’

There was no need to hold back further.

I immediately selected ‘Enhance Unique Skills’ and closed my eyes tightly to prepare for the headache that would come.

《The potential of the avatar increases significantly. The growth speed of the entity becomes faster. 》

《Unique skills grow and potential blooms. Acquire the special skill “Object Projection”.》

After the headache I always felt passed.

When there was no further change after waiting for a while, I opened my eyes, unable to hide my embarrassment.

‘…does not exist?’

‘Increasing the number of avatars’, which was always an obvious option whenever strengthening, was not given this time.

All I got this time were two lines of system messages that appeared before my eyes.

‘It was a whopping 900,000 worth of reinforcements…’

I somehow felt like I had been scammed.

Of course, as there are many avatars, increasing the growth rate so that they can become stronger faster is not a bad thing, but isn’t this too much?

“uh?”

While I was checking my newly acquired skills with such an uncomfortable feeling, an exclamation came out of my mouth without me realizing it.

Hans Heinz II Heinrich Halley Hubert Harris.

These were my proud avatars, each with unique abilities and personalities.

And the effect of “Object Projection” I gained this time

was… the ability to project one of the avatars onto my body once a day.
