My Alter Ego’s Path to GreatnessMy Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness Chapter 37 Resize text-+= Join Discord for Latest Chapter Jin So-ran (1) As I sucked blood, Gamma’s resentment, anger, and frustration came flooding in, but… Well, it doesn’t matter now. ‘So concealment is a bloodline ability? Then is mind control a unique skill?’ The reason why Gamma’s presence could not be detected and the reason why the barrier was so secretive was probably because of this “concealment.” ‘It’s good? It’s the best in the current situation.’ For one thing, I was able to hide my energy a bit better. Now that you can more clearly hide your identity as a vampire, even those stronger than you won’t be able to easily detect your true identity. It will also help with stealth, so it will be useful for the assassin position. ‘More than anything, it’s great that we can now hide the traces of cannibalism.’ Vampires are sensitive to blood. Didn’t Gamma immediately approach Heinz after smelling his blood? But what if there are traces of multiple vampires left behind through cannibalism? You’ll be attacked before you can even talk. – Individual name: Heinz II -Race: Vampire (Pureblood) -Common characteristics: “Mind Hub”, “Persona”, “Brightness Index” – Individual characteristics: “Blood Clan (Pure-blood)”, “Mixed-blood Evolution”, “Acceleration”, “Regeneration”, “Blood Magic”, “Perception”, “Concealment” -Special Note: The vampire factor in his body evolved through the blood of a vampire from another dimension. All physical abilities and magical power management techniques grew significantly. Due to the influence of the “Mind Hub”, mental contamination did not occur. Unfortunately, it didn’t turn into real blood right away. Perhaps it was because, although it had grown significantly in quality, the absolute amount of the vampire factor was insufficient. However, the current fighting power will not be greatly affected even if you fight against Jinhyeol. While Heinz was sorting out what he had acquired, Hans was attempting a séance at the site where the vampires had died. Black magic that summons the spirits of the dead. It was a pity, but it was to get information like this. [Huhhh···, what the heck is that···. Predation on my own kind···. Strength, my wish···.] [I don’t want to die like this… How long will I live in hiding… Strength.] This was the reason why Hans had not used necromancy for so long. The ghosts could only think of fragments, such as intense memories or final resentments. The more negative emotions there are in the remaining thoughts, the more the soul’s obsession inflates its size and turns it into an evil spirit. So, getting information from the ghosts wasn’t easy. It would be easier and more certain to search the brain directly and read the memories. [That’s it, yuck! Hee… to gain strength. Study, study!] Of course it was difficult, but it wasn’t impossible. Hans used black magic to inflict appropriate pain on Gamma’s ghost and guide its thoughts in the direction of the information he wanted. [Kihek···. Research, cooperation. Support···. The technology of the Buncheonhoe! Promise···. Beta···.] I interrogated all the summoned spirits, but I didn’t know much about the rest, whether Gamma had masterminded this incident. I just followed his will, using power as bait. There may also have been some influence from the mind control that was used subtly. [More than that, is it the Bancheonhoe? What are they planning on gaining by providing technology to the hardliners of the Blood Alliance?] I questioned Gamma further, but nothing more came out about it. It seemed that they had only promised cooperation in return for support, but no detailed discussions had taken place yet. [‘Beta’ is… this guy’s superior? I guess the line reaches that far. Well, the scale of the work is too large for someone of this level to do it alone.] He must be one of the leaders of the Blood Alliance hardliners. If there is an ‘alpha’ by reasonable inference, then that guy might be involved too. ‘We’ll find out from now on.’ Heinz entered the corner room where the unconscious Jin So-ran had been moved. She was still unconscious after being attacked by Gamma. “But this room···” Heinz looked around with a trembling expression. It was a room where various occult elements were mixed in a disorderly manner. Magic circles drawn in blood all over the room, skulls engraved with gold leaf, and all sorts of colorful trinkets. For Heinz, the only thing he could figure out was that some blood magic was involved. [Oh my, this is another new discovery.] Of course, that wasn’t the case for Hans. Hans entered the room and looked around in admiration. The remnants of black magic used everywhere were dissected piece by piece through “Evil Wisdom” and analyzed through “Forbidden Knowledge.” But there were more than a few other magic techniques related to black magic here. [Witchcraft and curses, is this the ‘Ain Sof Or’ of Kabbalah? They even used the Gimunjin (奇門陣). There are quite a few systems I don’t know about. How can they combine so many magic techniques…] Although Hans was an expert in black magic, he had a different perspective on magic itself because he had reached the pinnacle of his field. Having been exposed to the magic of various worlds through his vigilante activities, Hans had enough insight to know where and how it was used. ‘I never imagined something like this would be possible.’ Now, the Earth is full of people who have returned from countless worlds, having acquired all sorts of skills and mysteries. Some people learned technology from more advanced civilizations, while others delved deeply into magical engineering. It’s been about 20 years since such returnees first appeared. However, magical tools are still rare, and technological advancements have not been dramatic. How could that be possible? ‘Because the laws that apply to each dimension are different.’ —————— faqwiki.us Join our Discord for new chapter updates! https://discord.com/invite/xr7SxG5T6V —————— From the elements that make up the world to the laws of physics that take place in the microscopic world. Everything returns to its own laws. ‘The most extreme case among them is supernatural power.’ The laws of physics at least have some external similarities, but the laws of supernatural powers are completely arbitrary. Also, since it was an energy from another world, it was impossible to pass it on to others or study it scientifically. It is a power that does not exist on Earth and cannot be used. ‘Except for magical tools that have been fixed in a stable state by the laws of the other world, there is only one exception. When the returnee uses his/her supernatural power directly.’ Because the returnee himself was a medium that was separated from the laws of the world. That’s why Hans was able to use black magic on Earth. ‘Even when activating the installed barrier, a returner who can act as a mediator at the center is absolutely necessary. It would be difficult for magical engineering to develop.’ Even if you were a craftsman in another world, in order to create a magical tool that operates independently of yourself, you would need materials that fall under the laws of your home world. Since most of the items on Earth now were brought directly by returnees from other worlds, magical tools were bound to be rare. The current state of this room was like a system where each program, operating under different rules, was torn apart and reassembled from the roots to fit a single system. That too, in keeping with the Earth’s environment. [To this extent, I can definitely be confident.] Hans looked around in admiration. Although it is still unfinished, there is still a limitation that it requires a returner to activate, just like a barrier. This alone was a great achievement. Even Hans could only do this with the help of “Evil Wisdom” and “Forbidden Knowledge.” And that too, only within the category of ‘black magic’. [Hmm…, but something seems missing. Is this really the end?] It was definitely great, but something was missing. Although it looked well-made, the technique was still unstable, and in such a shabby state it was impossible to safely remove the vampire’s thoughts. [Even if we go through additional processes here… Even taking that into account, the technique itself here is too unstable.] I could tell without even trying it myself. Because Hans’ “evil wisdom”, which reached the pinnacle of black magic, had its flaws clearly visible. It may seem effective in the short term, but it’s a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment. ‘I think I could make it go wild with just a little trigger… No way?’ It was said that the research was supported by the Buncheonhoe. They must have also contributed significantly to weaving together the various dimensional magic formulas into one. They have the trigger button of a time bomb in their hands. [Huh! Those guys really are annoying in a lot of places.] The capabilities there also seemed to be beyond imagination. Because gathering, improving, and mixing the necessary magic techniques together was not something that just anyone could do. ‘I wish there was a little more information···.’ I immediately called upon the undead to search the entire building, hoping to find some more clues. Plus, you can get some of their research results. In a world where we live together, shouldn’t we share good things? While Hans was busy looking inside the building, gathering useful items, and gathering information… Heinz approached Jin So-ran, who was sprawled out in the middle of the room. The wounds all over his body from his fierce battle with the vampires had already healed, and there were no traces of blood. ‘Did he recover blood and enter self-repair even while unconscious?’ I couldn’t see him fight properly because he was ambushed by our forces, but he seemed to be a stronger vampire than I thought. Heinz immediately used his newly acquired “Insight” on her. “Hmm, this… I think it’ll take some time to get used to it.” I was expecting information to be organized clearly like a status window. What I felt was closer to the distribution of abstract energy. The blood-red energy moving actively within her body and… ‘But it’s strangely blurry. It’s like something is covered opaquely… Ah! Isn’t this a “concealment”?’ Although he has lost consciousness and is now weak, it was the energy of “concealment” that Gamma had stolen. The opaque aura that covered his entire body obscured not only himself but even his blood-red aura, making him appear blurry. ‘Does this woman have the same bloodline abilities as Gamma? Is she from the same dimension?’ Somehow it seemed strangely casual. Of course, most of those feelings bordered on hostility. In any case, this woman was an essential figure to approach the blood alliance. It looks like it has quite a few moves, so if it can move as it pleases, it would be perfect. Wow! Dalgrak— Dalgrak Outside the room, the undead following Hans’ orders could be heard making a fuss and turning the interior upside down. ‘Hmm, it would be difficult to wake you up here, right?’ Heinz looked down at her with his arms crossed. Long, black hair tied in a ponytail and scattered on the floor, red lips and long eyelashes contrasting with pale, transparent skin, and harmonious facial features. All elements combined with the vampire’s inhuman charm to create an overwhelming beauty. ‘Okay, let’s go with the concept of a knight rescuing a sleeping princess.’ Heinz picked her up in a hug. I’ve never held an adult woman before, so I couldn’t tell if it was light or heavy, but it felt infinitely light compared to his overwhelming strength. “What better stage would there be than that···.” Of course, the most urgent task right now was to come up with a scenario. *** “···Hmph!” Jin So-ran opened her eyes with a strange feeling. Heinz, who knew that it was time to slowly wake up through “intuition,” looked calmly at the seat next to him while wearing his mask. “You finally came to your senses.” Boohoo— A sports car that runs smoothly on the road. It was Heinz’s new horse, kindly donated to Gamma. “Huh… Huh? Hey, what’s going on here…?” Jin So-ran looked around the inside of the car with Heinz driving with a confused expression on her face, then began to examine her own body. During the battle, he was fine except for some holes in his clothes and a slight loss of stamina. “I thought he was dead without a trace… Hey, are you the person who was there earlier? Do you know what happened?” A considerably more polite attitude than how he treated Gamma. Well, this is probably the conversation of a cultured, sensible person. “I was lucky. I got a chance and got out quickly. When I saw the situation, it seemed like you were a victim too, so I took care of you and got out.” “Luck…? In that situation? Could you tell me more about it?” Jin So-ran asked cautiously, frowning slightly. Of course, since she was directly involved in that situation, this explanation won’t convince her. “Do you know what a Hahoe mask is?” “Hahoe Mask… I’ve heard of it. I heard it’s a weapon that attacks criminals and their organizations. Could it be…?” “Yes, the Hahoe mask appeared there.” Heinz then calmly revealed the fabricated facts. The base was thrown into chaos by the sudden attack of the Hahoe Mask. He took advantage of the gap between them as they clashed fiercely, grabbed the unconscious Jin Soran, and escaped. In the process, he is escaping with great success using the Gamma Chaki that he luckily stole. “Oh, I guess I was really lucky?” She muttered in a trembling voice. Despite her expression, Heinz nodded confidently in agreement. “Um, but who are you… No! That’s not it. Thank you for saving me! It must have been hard to get out of that mess on your own, so you went out of your way to save me too.” She bowed her head and expressed her gratitude, her confused mind having somewhat recovered from waking up. “I’m sorry. I haven’t introduced myself yet because I was so out of it. My name is Jin Soran from the Blood Alliance. I’m a level 6 from Nocturna, and I found out that Dohansu’s group has kidnapped one of our crew members…” She paused for a moment as she was explaining diligently. And after hesitating for a moment, he continued to speak, stammering. “···So, my close colleagues offered to help me, so I went to find out with them···. We were in different crews, but we belonged to the same moderate faction. And then, yeah···, that’s what happened.” Jin So-ran bows her head as she finishes her explanation in a trembling voice. It seems that being betrayed by those he believed to be his colleagues was a great shock. Not knowing what to say to comfort him, I just quietly watched the road ahead and remained silent. “That’s what happened! At least you got out of there! The traitor has been revealed and his schemes have been figured out, so this is what you call a blessing in disguise, right?” She spoke in a bright voice, as if trying to lighten the mood. He then went on to express hopeful opinions, such as that if he reported this to his superiors, everyone connected to him would be finished off, and that now he could live in peace. ‘Well…, can it be solved that simply?’ Given the scale of the work, it seems that even the upper echelons of the hardliners are already in agreement. Raising the issue will only lead to civil war and will not bring peace. ‘Of course I won’t leave it like that.’ Since I’m going to eat the tissue anyway, I want it to be as intact as possible. ‘We will completely eliminate the hardliners’ leadership and take over the blood alliance led by the moderates.’ The first step towards that happy ending was Jin So-ran. ──────────────────────────────────── ──────────────────────────────────── My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness Chapter 36My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness Chapter 38 share our website to support us and to keep us motivated thanks <3 Join Discord for Latest Chapter All Novels Chapter List 0 0 votes Article Rating Subscribe Login Notify of new follow-up comments new replies to my comments Label {} [+] Name* Email* Website Label {} [+] Name* Email* Website 0 Comments Oldest Newest Most Voted Inline Feedbacks View all comments Please Enable JavaScript in your Browser to Visit this Site. wpDiscuzInsert
