My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant - My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant chapter 43

Buncheonhoe (1)

The Holy Land of the Holy Spirit Church, the Great Hall of Roselia located in the center.

It has been over two months since Heinrich came here, but his daily life has not changed today.

Snuggle Geek—

“Whoop!”

With a sound as if the metal was twisting, the mass of metal connected to the chain defied gravity.

“Whoa—”

Chop-ruck- Crush!

The mass of metal in ton units attached to the vicious-looking exercise equipment was steadily cutting off the muscles of rude humans who dared to use them through periodic reciprocating movements.

Then at some point.

Hwa-a-ah-

“What?”

As if a blocked dam had burst, divine power erupted from his body.

《The entity has achieved Enlightenment by fulfilling the condition. Acquire the special skill 「Blessing: Rigid Body」.」

At the same time, the metal he had been struggling to lift suddenly jumped over the hook.

Heinrich remained in that position for a moment, then closed his eyes and measured the divine power he felt inside his body.

‘···It has finally arrived! High priest-level divine power!’

It was felt that the divine power, which had not grown as if it had reached its limit at some point, had finally grown beyond the stage.

This is probably thanks to the “Blessing: Rigid Body” I got this time.

I hurriedly put down the chain with joy.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

At that moment, a mass of metal that could not overcome gravity met the earth violently, but that was no longer his concern.

‘I’m sure I’ll go over the limit while exercising.’

Of course, it wasn’t just physical training in the Great War.

Education such as theology, doctrine, and history was the basics, and all kinds of martial arts, horsemanship, ceremonies, and holy law were additionally taught as a paladin.

At least he was able to follow the training using the physical body easily, perhaps thanks to “Mugol”, but he had to suffer quite a bit in other fields.

However, I did meet the criteria somehow.

But even then, I was worried because my divine power was still not reaching the high priest level and was stagnant, but the senior paladin who helped me in training offered a solution as if it was insignificant.

‘Just roll your body. roll like crazy Are you recovering quickly? Then roll it twice. If that still doesn’t work, roll it several times more and it’ll be resolved.’

What a trivial solution indeed!

Of course, his prescription was reasonable.

Because the condition to have high priest-level divine power was ‘to have more than one “blessing”.

And the easiest blessing they could get as paladins was the ‘blessing of a rigid body’.

Perhaps those who walk the path of a priest will grow through the blessings of other lines.

However, now that the identity of the divine power has been overcome, it will grow steadily again until it reaches the bishop-level divine power.

Because that was his greatest strength.

Heinrich hurriedly organized the exercise equipment and moved to the place where the paladins were.

Now that he was officially qualified to become a paladin, it was to talk about it.

So while I was retrieving my steps.

“Hmmmhhmm~♪”

A hum echoed through the garden along the way.

‘It’s humming here, I guess…’

As I walked carefully, there was an expected person squatting and looking at the flower bed.

‘Saint of the Protestant Church, Riesta Saint Hattian.’

Her soft silver hair fluttered and swayed, and her golden eyes that looked like stars were twinkling while looking at the flowers.

With a bright smile, she looked no different from any other 18-year-old girl.

‘Except that halo.’

Except for the halo of self-luminous light still around the head.

The traces of that powerful blessing were nothing less than the evidence of a saint.

“Hmmm, how are you? Lady. But why are you alone in a place like this?”

Since we had already met, I pretended not to know and passed by, so I coughed lightly and talked to the saint.

Perhaps the saint was also feeling the presence of this place, smiling brightly and turning her head to receive greetings.

“Hello, Sir Heinrich! I was looking at a ladybug. It was so cute I didn’t even know the time was passing!”

…and apparently he was looking at insects, not flowers.

It’s too early to be called ‘Sir’, not a knight yet, but no matter how many times I make corrections, nothing changes, so I decided to just move on.

There was one thing that surprised me while staying at the Great Temple of Roselia for over two months.

This saint, who felt distant at first, was, in fact, very casual and liked to wander around when she had free time.

If you are a member of the same Shinto denomination, you are kind to anyone and do not hesitate to give help.

A lively and quirky girl who is loved by everyone in the Great Hall for her gentle personality.

His faith was as strong as the divine power he possessed, and he was particularly friendly towards people who were faithful just like himself.

Because of this, she was the first saint to approach Heinrich, who showed strong divine power from the time of his baptism, to express his affection for him.

“By the way, congratulations, Sir Heinrich! Have you finally been blessed? After all, I thought you would do it quickly!”

As if she was a saint, how did she know that, she clapped her hands and rejoiced as if it was her own work.

“thank you. We were able to get there thanks to the help of so many people.”

“no! The blessing of a rigid body cannot be obtained with the help of others. It’s proof that you’ve surpassed your limits through training, so be proud of yourself!”

He seemed to have recognized what kind of blessing he had received at a glance.

Perhaps it was the influence of the blessing contained in those sparkling golden eyes.

After chatting for a while, she paused and looked up at the sky.

“oh! Afternoon worship! When the time is like this! Then I’ll just go and see. May the blessings of the Lord be with you always.”

She seemed to measure the time for a moment, then shook off her seat, stood up, said hello, and disappeared like the wind into the temple.

“… well, you’re very… very active today.”

An expression of insanity would be more appropriate.

In a way, it looked sloppy, but of course he didn’t show that to everyone.

‘Never compromise on evil.’

Show friendliness to those who follow the Lord, and try to embrace them even if they don’t.

But there was no tolerance for those who were tainted with evil.

And since there was a case that such a saint has been attached to recently…

It was the ‘Descendant of the Immortal King, Hans’.

‘Now that obsession has come down to the point of being frightening.’

It is said that he prays several times a day and is trying to track down ‘Hans’.

Of course, it didn’t exist in this world, so I couldn’t find it, but the act of never giving up had already become a part of my daily life.

It was only sad for those who were discovered and subjugated by side branches in the aftermath of the blessing of pursuing that demon.

If it was to the point of being perceived by a saint who made the descendants of the Immortal King as his main target, it would mean that he was in the middle of performing some evil ritual, so it would be self-inflicted.

‘Actually, I don’t understand why it looks like that.’

As much as Heinrich had been educated about history, he was able to understand his feelings because he knew what the Immortal King was.

The first immortal king who suddenly appeared about a thousand years ago.

He made half of the continent a land of death, and many people were sacrificed, and it was only when countless forces, including the denomination, gathered their strength to defeat him and restore peace.

But hundreds of years later.

Perhaps it was because he didn’t finish the first Immortal King properly, and through some path, the ‘Heart of the Immortal King’ containing his power fell into the hands of a warlock…

Thus, the second Immortal King was born.

The second immortal king, born after being eaten by the heart of his successor, brought chaos to the continent again, and as a result, the great empire located in the west collapsed and split into several kingdoms as it is now.

Was it because it was the second time though?

The death squad aimed at the King of Immortality and tried to deal with the heart to ensure that the same thing would never happen again.

But that, too, has failed.

He succeeded in breaking his heart, but he used his last power to spread it across the continent so that it could not be sealed.

That was only a few hundred years ago.

‘And two of them fell into Hans’ hands. If you find the last piece, the third immortal king will be resurrected, so the denomination is also desperate.’

It was because the Jushin Church was at the forefront whenever the Immortal King incident occurred.

It was only natural that the saint, who had been learning the history of their sacrifices from an early age, was hostile to the Immortal King.

Even more so, because she tended to treat her followers like family.

‘I wish we could all get along well. He has a softer heart than I thought, and he’s a good friend, but he doesn’t know that.’

Yes, Hans, who will become the immortal king of this generation, did not wish for the destruction of the continent.

He was fighting hard against the evil organization for the public good even at this moment.

***

Koo!

“Ugh…”

Park Gwang-cheon, an executive of the Beoncheonhoe in a suit, looked around while blocking the attack of the Hahoetal.

He confidently led his troops and dug a trap, but with just two men, all plans fell apart.

‘Damn it, it’s all because that bastard didn’t get the information right! You completely overlooked the opponent’s power!’

He burst into anger as he recalled the man with a hazy impression.

The decisive reason why things went wrong was because of a vampire who came in out of nowhere, but he couldn’t afford to count on that.

No matter how many excuses you give, failure is failure.

‘I can’t help what has already gone wrong. Then I have to do a good job of rearranging…’

He was still fighting against Hahoetal with the remaining subordinates, but it was meaningless now.

No matter how I looked at it, it felt like I was deliberately looking at it in order to captivate me.

‘At first, it didn’t seem to matter whether he died or not, but now that he has more time, are you going to interrogate him and dig up information?’

Park Gwang-cheon looked around the fallen subordinates.

More than half of them were corpses, but most of those who had recently collapsed had been suppressed without dying.

‘This is… wrong. No more hope.’

Seeing that the commotion from the vampires had already calmed down, it seemed that the situation had already ended.

And being this quiet was by no means a positive sign for him.

Because it meant that I had been completely beaten by one person, really incompetent.

‘If we delay further, the vampires over there will join us. I’ll fix it as much as possible now and get out of it, even if it’s only me.’

Although the barriers between Bundcheonhoe and Hahoe Mask were doubled, he was able to get out of this place with his own unique skill, 「Space Manipulation」.

The last bulwark that saved his life over and over until now.

He raised his magical power for the last time before activating his unique skill.

***

The situation on the vampire’s side was roughly settled, and the resistance of the Bundchenkai was now over.

It takes time to subdue the remaining ones by reading their memories and digging for information, but that won’t last long.

In the midst of cleaning up the battlefield like that, it felt as if the enemy leader was preparing something.

It’s already too late to write something, but the moment I’m on the alert just in case…

“Everyone has worked hard so far. For the Thousand Days! [Die for freedom—!]”

The last sentence that resonates through the space with magical powers.

At that moment, the bodies of the Bunchunhoe members all at once stiffened.

It doesn’t matter if you’re resisting or if you’ve been knocked out.

‘What kind of revamp!’

obvious anomalies.

Hans’s accident accelerated.

The surroundings stopped for a moment, and time passed slowly.

suu

‘This?’

An unidentified flow of magical power penetrates the minds of the living.

It tried to resonate with some aura that had been embedded in his brain.

At the same time, Hans’s unrestricted viewing angle caught him staring at him and grinding his teeth.

And that figure began to fade gradually.

‘Order to self-destruct to subordinates. He escaped.’

I quickly assessed the situation.

I don’t know how it is possible to move through space when there is a barrier, but it’s a very strange world, so that’s a matter to be explored later.

Now I had to make a choice.

set priorities.

Will he find a way to stop the gang from self-destructing from this mysterious flow, or will the rookies give up quickly and immediately pursue the escaping leader in an unknown way?

Both are unlikely.

‘The remaining time is only a few seconds, the opponent’s means are unknown.’

I was instantly annoyed by the forced choice.

In this case, of course…

[Of course, neither gives up!]

Hans, who swallowed negative emotions and opened his eyes to his personality, was also the embodiment of greed and obsession.

Of course, I had no intention of giving up any of them!

All of the entity’s resources were concentrated on Hans.

Accidents accelerate

Time has almost come to a standstill.

The black magic split into dozens of strands and headed for their respective goals.

He hastily left a mark on the beast, who was about to disappear.

It’s not a proper tracking magic, it’s swept away by the flow of space, and it will disappear quickly, but it will save you a few seconds.

The rest of the black magic penetrated into the minds of the survivors.

It came into contact with something that resonated with the flow applied from the outside and grasped the information.

···I can not know.

Bundchenhoe’s unique complex technique.

Hans’ research was still insufficient to fully understand this intricate entanglement.

However.

Part of a complex procedure.

‘Forbidden’ and ‘curse’ mixed here and there.

It was very familiar to Hans.

It’s also been a tool I’ve been using a lot lately.

‘It starts here.’

“Evil Wisdom” followed along with familiarity, and “Forbidden Knowledge” analyzed it.

So, as if digging for a sweet potato stem, I was trying to figure out the composition of the recipe, and it came to an end.

The one in the last part.

It was ‘death’.

It goes beyond what is familiar and touches the essence of Hans.

It was what he experienced, what he overcame, and what he finally came to dominate.

‘now!’

Intervening in formulas that cause resonance.

Read at noblemtl.net

Just like if you accidentally insert foreign substances into precise mechanical parts, it will break down.

Failure to do so.

So he took out some of the cogs of the mechanical parts.

After a fleeting moment that seemed like an eons, the endless noise around it began to slowly return to its original state.

woo woo-

A formula that continues to resonate.

However, it did not achieve its original purpose, only repeating idling because an important part was missing.

[Kukkuk… hahaha! I am the ruler of death. Do you think you can run away with death in front of me like that!]

After finishing the work, Hans burst out laughing on the spot.

Of course, he did not forget to move the black magic to stun the staggering remnants without losing consciousness.

Because I didn’t know what else they would do if they were awake.

[And you, you won’t die easily.]

Immediately before he disappeared, he traced the traces of the buried black magic and the barrier he left behind.

While I was concentrating on doing the ban, the traces were already blurring.

But things have gotten better than the first time.

By carefully analyzing the prohibition, he grasped the magic pattern of the man who created the flow.

It was information that could not be recognized when simply fighting.

He predicted the direction from the traces left in the barrier, and estimated the distance from the traces of weak black magic.

Within the range that was captured, the location was specified by the monster’s magic pattern.

I don’t know how he got out of here.

Considering that there are no traces of magic left in the barrier, there is a high probability that it is a unique skill.

But now, it was irrelevant.

[···found.]

It’s something you’ll have to look into for yourself.
