Dark Side (2)
After a night of many events.
Morning dawned in a small city in southern Thailand that had been shaken by a sudden commotion.
It was only a few hours ago that something happened that may have wiped out the entire city.
However, since they survived without dying, they had to somehow return to their daily lives in order to maintain their future lives, so the citizens of the city moved about busily as if there had been no commotion.
“Hey, did you see that too? That night···.”
“Of course. Oh, right, I thought I was dreaming.”
“I was so surprised that I thought a war had started···.”
Of course, not everything was as usual.
The chaotic atmosphere of these people gathered in groups of three or five and gossiping, and the fatigue on their faces from not being able to sleep properly, clearly showed how worried they were about the previous day’s events.
But such reactions were not limited to those living in the area.
As times change, videos vividly recording the situation at the time are flooding the Internet, drawing public attention.
Terrorist attacks on this ability happen all the time, but there aren’t many incidents this spectacular and on this scale.
Aren’t the massive explosions that explode one after another in the high skies and the mysterious beings that fly across the sky like rays of light and intercept them one by one subjects that everyone can’t help but be interested in?
– Even watching the video, the sense of pressure is no joke. Every time an explosion occurs, the surrounding space gets distorted?
└Really;; If all of that had fallen in the city… But why is this suddenly happening? What could be in that backward neighborhood?
-Is that an angel? It’s hard to see because it was taken from too far away.
└There is a close-up photo taken at high magnification. It is an angel wearing armor and has three pairs of wings.
-The armor looks familiar… Could it be that Heinrich, the saint from another world?
└Huh? Is this real?
Among them, there were quite a few who deduced that the angel’s identity was Heinrich, but they had no intention of hiding it as they were planning to take advantage of this incident.
Of course, not many people knew why this happened, how it progressed, and how it ended.
“Then let me formally introduce myself. I am Frey, the representative of the Burning Torch. Thank you again for your assistance with the Masquerade.”
Excluding the parties involved in the incident who are gathered here now.
General Frey, who had been unconscious throughout the battle, bowed his head politely and expressed his gratitude.
Towards Heinrich, who sat across from him as a representative of the Masquerade, and Ken, who sat with him because of their connection with the burning torch from the beginning.
Heinrich smiled gently at her and greeted her.
“I just did what I had to do. The Burning Crusade is not a problem for a few people, but an enemy of humanity that we all have to deal with together.”
And as he continued to say that Earthlings are not the only ones included in that ‘humanity’, he looked at Frey with a strange look.
“How are you feeling? It seems like you’ve had your body taken over by that Mimic for quite some time.”
“Ah, it’s gotten a lot better. It’s all thanks to Heinrich. Actually, I was lucky. Thanks to my unique skill, I was able to endure without being completely absorbed.”
She smiled bitterly and waved her hand.
Unlike a man who had always pretended to be a bearded man to show off his authority as the president, his gestures were as feminine as any other young lady.
“I never thought that my unique skill, which I thought was just about changing my appearance, would have such an additional effect.”
“I guess you didn’t invest much in unique skills?”
“···I heard you’re from another world, so you’re quite knowledgeable. I’m a case where I overcame the wall by training my ether rather than my unique skills. Well, it helped me a lot to create a perfect body suitable for training and avoid getting caught up in gender issues.”
The conversation between the two sides proceeded smoothly, as they had just won a victory over a common enemy.
The atmosphere became even more cheerful as Ken, who had been glancing at Heinrich with an uncomfortable attitude, and Ann, who had been looking at Frey with a worried look, began to say a few words each.
Until Ken blurted out a word as if he felt regret.
“By the way, it’s a shame that we let that executioner go. We should have dealt with such a dangerous enemy when we had the chance.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Frey and Ann’s complexions darkened noticeably.
It had to be that way.
Frey, who had been captured while directly confronting him, and Ando, who had witnessed the battle up close, knew well how fearsome the enemy was.
It was obvious where he would target when he returned, so I couldn’t help but be worried.
In fact, isn’t it nearly impossible to stop him with just the power of a blazing torch?
“Oh, didn’t I tell you?”
But their worries did not last long.
“You don’t have to worry anymore, we’ve definitely finished off the executioner.”
Heinrich’s next words, spoken so casually, swept away all his worries.
“···Huh? Really?”
“When on earth···?”
Everyone, including Ann, who realized Phantom’s absence, couldn’t help but be surprised at those words.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t hopeful, but I never expected it would be sorted out this quickly.
Frey and Ken, who even fought the executioner directly, had similar thoughts.
‘So the forces that came here weren’t all of the Masquerade? Where on earth have these people been and what have they been doing…’
Frey, who was looking at Heinrich with deeply sunken eyes, sighed.
A secret organization that includes saints and angels from another world.
It had been several years since she realized the threat of the Bancheonhoe and began her activities, but she had never dreamed that such a force existed.
‘···Still, it is certain that they are currently at odds with the Buncheonhoe, so we have no choice but to believe them for now.’
I should avoid trusting them completely as they are so suspicious, but there was no other alternative at the moment.
For the sake of those who have believed in me and followed me so far, I have no choice but to walk towards the place with the highest probability.
She made up her mind and met An’s gaze next to her and nodded slowly.
Heinrich, who had been quietly watching the reactions of the crowd, had a confident smile on his face.
‘They definitely showed off their power. It doesn’t make sense that they missed out even though the three of them came forward themselves.’

As it turned out, the Dark Side of the Avatar was dispatched to Earth, and it ended up looking like a ‘Masquerade Gathering!’… but this wasn’t so bad.
Because I gained a lot from going all-in.
For the cause of overthrowing the Bancheonhoe.
In terms of the emergency of the secret society Masquerade.
***
“Whew, good. I guess we can say that we’ve achieved all of our goals for dispatching to Southeast Asia.”
The relationship building with the blazing torch was completed smoothly.
Up until now, it was still close to an alliance between two independent forces, but for now, this was enough.
The damage to the organization was so great that they had no choice but to rely on this side for survival.
As time goes by, a hierarchical relationship will be established naturally, and you will settle into a lower position without having to do anything.
‘The Southeast Asian branch of the Bancheonhoe… well, it’s pretty much settled now that all of its leaders have been captured.’
The task of stripping them of their souls can be left to Hans, who is currently dispatched to the area.
In the process, you will also be able to obtain information about the branches that other Transcendents belong to, so you have already achieved your original goal by a long way.
‘The avatars that came to Earth can be sent back one by one.’
As usual, I sat on the massage chair and closed my eyes tightly, looking over the avatars that remained on Earth.
The first avatar to be sent back was the high elf Harris.
The helmet and the entire outfit were magical tools that had effects including air purification, but that was not enough to suppress the stuffiness that came from feeling the surrounding nature itself.
‘I can endure it if I want to, but… Well, I guess there’s no need to go that far.’
Harris, who was at one with nature and took everything easy, was like a kind of mental stabilizer to me.
An avatar that not only helps relieve the stress that builds up when operating multiple avatars, but also helps you sleep comfortably.
Because it was in an environment where beautiful music was constantly coming from all directions, it was a helpful entity just to lie there.
‘Let’s see, then what’s next—.’
Hesperon, who was first summoned to Earth, was still diligently working on his duties.
The supercomputers inside the complex data center, as well as the Titans and the “Machine Eye: Calicas” were mobilized to create public opinion that further heightened the sense of crisis regarding the Buncheonhoe in relation to this incident.
‘But… this isn’t that easy either. There was a reason why it was hidden under the surface all this time.’
Despite being linked to a hot topic, it didn’t have as big an effect as expected.
Well, if you want to conquer the world in the modern world, this level of information warfare is a basic necessity.
It wouldn’t have been that difficult, since we were joined by a doctor who was at the forefront of the technology field.
“I’ve been looking into it since there was no information about them on the Internet… They’re really thorough.”
Maybe there is an artificial intelligence that has been modified like this.
Just in case, it seemed like Hesperon needed to pay more attention to the security of the data center it was using.
Be careful not to be tracked back.
‘Heinrich will be busy with external affairs for the time being. Then the rest of the guys will…’
Harley, a neutral mercenary who moves between light and darkness.
And then there were Hans, Heinz II, and Hela, who could definitely be called the dark side.
***
A space where all kinds of negative energy swirls around.
“Hmm, that’s all I can do.”
Heinz, a member of the dark side who had helped capture the executioner, slowly stood up from his seat, wiping his mouth.
[————!]
Then, I stepped out of the space where incomprehensible thoughts echoed and into the completely isolated back world.
Unlike the other two avatars, he had no choice but to intervene except in the blood-related matters, so his work was quickly completed.
[Kuuuuuu! So this is a being that is truly divine? It lasts longer than I thought. Alright, that’s great!]
“Hehehe~ If I pull this off well, I think I could use it? In this respect, it’s no different from vampires. Even if the dimensions are different, there’s a common denominator, I guess.”
While the voices of excited avatars can be heard from behind.
Heinz took a deep breath as he stepped outside the artificial space.
‘I told you, the air over there just doesn’t suit me.’
It would have been nice if we could have included other creatures in “Dragon Lair”.
It was inevitable that he felt uneasy, as he was the only one who preferred blood, unlike the two who were more familiar with Magi.
But now that I’ve finished sucking and analyzing the power contained in the executioner’s blood, I won’t have to go there again.
‘I made quite a bit of money in the process.’
Was it called the Great Demon of Eternity?
Even though the devil’s blood doesn’t really help vampires, the causal effect of sucking the blood of such a great opponent was of great help to the growth of the new blood.
‘Of course it can’t compare to the other two.’
Hela, who is trying to swallow up all the karma he has accumulated as the ‘Demon King’, and Hans, who is thinking of making a puppet by putting his body and soul into the abyss.
Compared to him, Heinz, who only had a little bit of power in his blood and a little bit of cause and effect, could be called a nobleman.
Instead, he sucked enough blood from the other captured Transcendent beings to keep them from dying.
After finishing the work assigned to him, he immediately moved to ‘his area’.
A place protected under his name, located in Seoul, South Korea.
“Ah, it’s been a while since you’ve been here, Lord!”
“hmm.”
Heinz, who had just entered the office, nodded at Jin So-ran’s greeting welcoming him.
This place is almost the center of the blood alliance.
It was the Heterosis building where Jin So-ran, who leads the organization in place of Lord Heinz, works.
‘Now, it’s impossible to find any trace of it as a shadowy organization.’
Heinz nodded, looking around slowly.
The scenery here, which occupies an entire small building, was not much different from that of other companies.
It’s dark overall even during the day because the curtains are drawn, and most of the employees work at night.
“But I still checked the report every time. It seems like you still have a lot of work to do.”
“Well, it’s gotten a lot better these days. When Howard Industries first started out, I thought it might really die out… But it’s definitely different now that they’ve hired a professional manager.”
She sighed as if she was sweating cold just thinking about it and shook her head.
“Yes, you don’t have to do everything. The captain just has to make sure that the crew is doing their job properly. There are many experts and talented people in the world who only specialize in one field.”
“···When the Lord speaks, it is truly persuasive.”
Jin So-ran, one of the sailors who were leaving, looked at Heinz with a trembling expression.
And I made a firm resolution once again.
He decided to follow that example and somehow gather capable subordinates to pass on the annoying tasks to them.
“There doesn’t seem to be any major problems right now. Is there anything unusual?”
“Special note… Ah! The project I reported to you last time! We’re finally ready to implement it.”
“Project?”
What else was there?
As Heinz stroked his chin, reminiscing about past memories.
Jin So-ran, who had been smiling brightly in front of him, continued speaking with sparkling eyes.
“Project to raise awareness about vampires.”
Then a memory flashed through his mind.
Although the perception of the Blood Pact, a vampire clan that had taken over the underworld of Europe as well as Korea, was not very positive, it was somewhat less prevalent with the launch of Howard Industries.
No wonder public opinion criticizing Korea, its home base, is being given major coverage.
And the agenda item that was delegated full authority as a countermeasure to that was…
“I’m going into the entertainment industry!”
Regarding the establishment of foreign policy due to the Blood Alliance’s entry into the entertainment industry.
— was a project called .
