Holy Blood (3)

The moment he ascended the Holy Blood, Heinz II’s senses expanded endlessly.

The transcendental perceptual ability that reached synesthesia exceeded its limits, and space and even time became within reach—.

With the spirit heightened by the rise in rank, I was able to perceive some of the flow of cause and effect that fills the world.

‘I see… Is this how the Holy Bloods have fought so far?’

Heinz realized instinctively.

If we just pour a little more thought into it, we can touch on some of that flow.

‘It consumes a lot of mental power and is limited to the area where Heinz’s power can reach… But at this rate, even inferior beings won’t dare approach it.’

Even before the opponent uses any means, the result is already ‘evasion’, and the moment you decide to attack, it is determined to be a ‘hit’.

How on earth do you deal with an opponent like this?

‘If Bricky hadn’t been there, it would have been difficult for Harley and Heinz to go into a war of attrition···.’

The fact that the two were able to continue their normal clash with Bisque Uphersh was all possible because of her restraint.

If she hadn’t been there, Hans, who was a higher-ranking figure than Bisque, would have had to step forward.

In many ways, I could say I was lucky.

And the luck continued.

《The individual grows by achieving the conditions. The skills “Concealment” and “Transparency” are combined to evolve into the special skill “Negation of Existence.”》

As it rose in rank to the Holy Blood, it evolved by combining the two abilities it had stolen through preying on vampires from other dimensions and “hybrid evolution”.

It’s a skill with an extraordinary name.

‘···This is also affected by the power of the Holy Blood. It is a stealth skill that distorts cause and effect and denies the fact that it is being detected. It can be seen as being superior in every way compared to before.’

It would be nice if other skills evolved as well, but it would be too greedy to hope for that.

Heinz opened the individual information window, trying to collect the power boiling within his body.

– Individual name: Heinz II

-Race: Vampire (Holy Blood)

-Common characteristics: “Mind Hub”, “Persona”, “Brightness Index”

– Individual characteristics: “Blood Clan (Holy Blood)”, “Mixed-Blood Evolution”, “Mystery of Blood”, “Refined Blood”, “Negation of Existence”, “Acceleration”, “Super Regeneration”, “Perception”

-Special Note: By using “Mixed Evolution”, he forcibly inherited the Holy Blood and achieved evolution. He can exert some control over the “Yuppers” bloodline. All his abilities have grown explosively, and he has become able to manipulate some of the ties of causality.

‘Oh, I didn’t expect that.’

Dominion over vampires that inherited the blood of Eupherus.

It seems that as he devoured the Holy Blood, his influence over it also came with it.

Although it was not a normal succession, and the authority was significantly reduced, the modifier ‘slightly’ was added···.

‘I guess it doesn’t matter since I was planning to use the 「Purified Blood」 anyway. But it will make things easier thanks to it.’

It goes without saying that it is easier to deal with someone who can exert some control than someone who actively opposes and sets the tone.

Unlike Brokoslak, the Eupers were spread across the entire continent, so I was worried about how to absorb them.

“after.”

When Heinz turned his gaze with a smile of satisfaction in his heart.

He was able to meet Bricky’s gaze, who had been looking at him with interest through half-closed eyes.

“Huh-huh— That’s really amazing. This is the first time I’ve seen a new Holy Blood being born. And through cannibalism.”

Even when he sunk his teeth into Bisque Uphersh’s nape, and even when he climbed up to the Holy Blood through cannibalism, she simply watched quietly.

If Heinz were to become the Holy Blood, she would have known that she, who was not in a normal state, would no longer be able to stand against him.

‘Of course Harley was on guard just in case, but if she wanted to interfere, she could have done so, but she just watched.’

At this point, it is safe to assume that there is no hostile intent.

Since she has become the Holy Blood, there is nothing she can do to Heinz anymore.

“That is my ability. But I also acknowledge that it was largely thanks to you, Bricky. I will definitely repay this debt.”

“Hmm— Since we’re involved in this situation anyway, would it be enough if you just gave me a little bit of your time? I have a lot to talk about.”

Where was the sharp look from when she was in battle? She answered leisurely, her attitude saggy like pickled cabbage.

Since I needed to know what her intentions were anyway, it was necessary to make time to have a serious conversation.

But for now···.

“Hahaha! This is truly a rare sight. But since I’ve already taken my revenge, I think I’ll go back now! I even abandoned what I was doing!”

Harley, who had been quietly watching, naturally stepped forward and greeted them.

Now that Harley and Heinz’s joint operation had been successfully concluded, it was time to disband the party.

“Yes, Harley. You’ve been a great help. I won’t forget this favor.”

“Oh, it’s nothing! They messed with my friend first. And besides, they’re on the same boat as our Hubert Company! Hahaha!”

“Then please take care of me in the future. I will also pay more attention to Hubert Trading Company.”

“Thank you for that! Then I’ll take my leave!”

Immediately after the conversation ended, which was meant to be a show to the people around her, Harley confidently disappeared out of the building through the door.

As the fight ended, Mulro’s barrier was lifted, and since Heinz, who had become Lord and Holy Blood, had given his permission, no one could stop him.

“Hmm, is it okay to just let this go? There were a lot of questionable aspects about this kid from the very first time he appeared…”

Bricky, whose eyes seemed almost closed now, mumbled in a sleepy voice.

“It’s okay. I already have something in mind.”

Heinz dismissed her concerns lightly.

And Heinz sent her back to her quarters, who was now nodding off while standing, and then he headed out to clean up.

‘I guess I’ll be super busy for the time being.’

From assessing the clan situation immediately after the battle, to managing the remnants of Eupersch, and then responding afterwards.

There was still a mountain of work left to do.

A long two-handed sword held in one hand and thick black armor covering the entire body.

The being had a human form, but no one present regarded it as human.

The red glow from the eyes and the blazing black magic were secondary, but the thick aura of death that was intimidating just by looking at it was something that humans could never possess.

And above all, they were very aware of its existence.

That would be the case, for to those who walk the path of the devil, isn’t he a legend?

“···Death Knight Lord, Karam.”

“You’re the commander of the immortal army… How can such a monster be here…!”

The sudden activation of the barrier cuts us off from the outside world, and we are immediately attacked.

The defensive facilities that had been densely packed from the entrance were all destroyed, and the chimeras and modified dark knights deployed as guards were unable to stop him even for a moment.

In that situation, since he ended up reaching the center of the hideout in an instant, the black magicians of the Tulk Kingdom branch of the Oath of the Reverse Heaven couldn’t help but be very nervous.

“···Recently, there has been an increase in the number of branches that have suddenly lost contact, so I thought that the sect’s offensive had begun. Could it have been the work of the Immortal Army?”

Oldman, the branch manager in charge of this branch and one of the elders of the Oath of Reverse Heaven, muttered softly and frowned.

When the Immortal Army moved in person, it meant that the reincarnated Immortal King was watching them—.

That meant that their plan to gain only profit between the Continent and the Immortal King had to be abandoned.

‘···Let’s think about that later. For now, the top priority is to spread this news. Judging from the fact that it wasn’t known until now, it seems like they prepared quite thoroughly···.’

After gathering his thoughts, he looked around confidently.

Dark knights lined up in battle formation and warlocks already preparing spells.

There were hundreds of thousands of them.

This is the central headquarters that oversees all branches of the Tulk Kingdom, and it is on a different level from other places that have been out of contact.

The entrance was breached by a sudden surprise attack, but the men there were nothing more than arrow cannons placed there to buy time.

In reality, it was the central headquarters that had completed thorough preparations during that time.

‘No matter how great Karam is, he has limitations when he’s alone. Even if he summons lower-level undead, there will be limitations.’

Even this place was their home base, and naturally, it was a place where many layers of magic were installed to help defend the stronghold.

Strengthening allies, weakening enemies, and all sorts of other minor black magic.

[Wow— This is, more than I thought.]

Karam, facing them, muttered softly.

The spirit of those whose fear was removed by the influence of magic on their minds and whose concentration was pushed to its limit was becoming sharp as a blade.

A satisfied smile spread across Oldman’s face at the sight of the elite unit that was not even afraid of death.

“I don’t know why the Immortal King is after us, but he came all the way here alone. He must have thought we were quite a joke, Karam! You will pay the price for your arrogance!”

He shouted confidently and confidently as he slowly raised his black magic and prepared for the destructive magic.

No matter how thorough our preparations were, our opponents were monsters that appeared in history books, so we had to do everything we could to minimize our losses.

But before he could weave his magic…

[Look at that, Karam… The girl didn’t ask you for help for nothing…?]

[Hmm, indeed. It seems that this is something that cannot be helped in order to carry out the king’s orders.]

Behind Karam, another being appeared.

A woman wearing a black veil and dress whose figure is clearly identifiable despite its vague shape.

Just hearing her voice makes me dizzy and shakes my will to live. Her true identity is…

“Banshee Queen, Olivia···!”

Oldman’s expression distorted.

If it was just Karam alone, then one more officer from the Immortal Legion would be fine?

Even she did not come alone, as ghostly undead appeared one by one.

But unfortunately for them, the executives who came here did not end there.

Swish—

In an instant, the surrounding ground began to turn black and emit an ominous aura.

And in that seething darkness.

Phew!

Dalgrak—Dulgeureok!

Ki-ki-ki-ki!

From headless durahans to skeleton knights made of bones, countless undead crawled out endlessly, quickly filling the surrounding area.

[Phehe— I prepared quite a bit, but you guys don’t have even a slight chance.]

With a sinister voice, Dwell emerged from the darkness and looked down on the warlocks.

In order to thoroughly capture them, as many as three executives participated in this event.

Oldman gritted his teeth with a gloomy expression at the overwhelming power difference.

Death Knight Lord Karam and Banshee Queen Olivia, plus…

“···And even Acriche is added. What on earth is this for!”

For reference, Dwell was highly skilled in dealing with undead forces and devising strategies, but his name was not well known due to his nature of not taking the lead.

[···This body is Dwell McCain, the faithful servant of the Immortal King! Remember this clearly from now on!]

He shouted confidently, outraged by the other person’s reaction, but it was meaningless since his name would not be widely known through this incident.

Naturally, there was not a single human being who could escape from this place.

After a while.

And so another small war that had been going on behind the scenes ended quietly without anyone knowing.

But Olivia, who was cleaning up after the fight, had to move quickly before things could even be finished…

[Girl, Olivia… I have come at the King’s summons…]

It was because the Immortal King Hans summoned her personally.

[Olivia, I picked up some fun ones this time.]

Hans’ gaze turned to those hanging in the air, bound by black chains.

[These are the guys from the Reverse Oath who tried to infiltrate Talaria this time. After taking a quick look, it looks like there’s a high-ranking member among them.]

The fact that the Oath of Reverse was there was evidence that the gnomes had been involved behind the movements of the Eupersch Clan.

Even though they are a guerrilla organization, they wouldn’t be able to use a unit of this level as expendable items.

‘Even if the order was delivered across several bridges, Olivia would be able to trace its traces.’

And if her backtracking and the interrogation of the Eupersch Clan were combined, it was only a matter of time before the location of the ones who had planned this was discovered.

[Investigate these guys and find out where they are behind it.]

[I will follow the king’s command···.]

So, another task was handed down to the busiest member of the self-proclaimed Immortal Legion.

Olivia bows politely with a face that is so pale it’s almost transparent.

It was also something to think about, that he was too competent.
