My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant - My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant chapter 44
Buncheonhoe (2)
A mountain at a distance from the villa.
“Ugh… the barrier is stronger than I thought. It would be such a burden.”
It didn’t go as far as I expected.
It must have been because of the influence of the barrier placed by Hahoetal.
“Whoa, his level is higher than I thought. You better get out of this place as soon as possible.”
Park Gwang-cheon forced his trembling legs to stand upright.
It was impossible to use 「Space Manipulation」 again right away, so it was to move as much as possible even on foot.
‘Even if it’s overkill, it’s worthwhile to strengthen the unique skill twice. The unique skill has good performance, but its growth is so slow.’
Although it is said that it grows steadily as the proficiency increases, the rapid growth using the Karma Shop had great merit.
It was thanks to this that he established a barrier that no one could notice, that he was able to grasp their infiltration, and that he and his subordinates were able to hide their presence.
In any case, I ended up running away, but the ‘immediate activation’ effect was helpful here as well.
‘The recovery time is faster. Now I can use it again in a few more minutes. As there are no barriers this time, I will run farther away…’
[He was here.]
Moments, behind your back.
A voice that should not have been heard came from here.
Rather than a human voice, it sounds like it reverberates from a cave.
It’s as if your mental powers are being ripped apart just by listening to it.
Park Kwang-chun’s body stiffened.
‘How did know? As a trace left in the barrier? At best, you could have known only the direction. How to specify my location…. No, this is not important now. you have to take your time As soon as “Space Manipulation” becomes available…’
Kwaak—
[You seem to have a lot of thoughts.]
Cool hands in black gloves gripped the back of his head.
For a human hand, it doesn’t feel even the slightest softness.
Are the hands of a doll carved out of ice like this?
[At first, I didn’t intend to kill him easily, but now that I think about it, I don’t know when and how to get out. So I decided to just do what I was doing.]
“Oh, no···.”
Dark and moist black magic rushes through the back of his head.
Park Gwang-chun twisted his body to resist, but his whole body was already bound in black shadows.
‘Cuckoo! I… I have less than a minute left…! Joe, I wish I had a little more time…! Turn it off…’
Along with the sensation of being stabbed in the head with an iron skewer, the mind becomes fuzzy and thoughts are cut off.
[Kuh-huh…don’t think that it can end in death. Even death can’t be a way out in front of me.]
Hans’s black magic mercilessly ripped through his brain and digging into his memories.
Of course, this guy was also banned.
Is it because I’ve done it once?
It was a little more complicated because he was an executive, but it wasn’t that difficult to solve.
The memory I read like that…
‘···What else is this?’
In the infinitely slow flow of time, he encountered something completely unexpected in his psychic world.
– I hope you can get in here without the security.
[Huh? Who are you?]
Green glowing human figure.
Only the head and limbs were distinguished, but the features were not.
-I knew it to some extent, but seeing it in a spirit state, it’s amazing. That’s the density of black magic… Hahoetal, that’s more than I thought.
Hearing those words, looking at them, he could see that he was also in a similar shape.
Contrary to that, it was black, as if the abyss were united.
[Did you hide in this guy’s head and watch? Then you will be the head of the Buncheon Society.]
– It’s no use now to come and deny it.
He was an insidious person, hiding in a safe place and spying on others by planting gold in other people’s heads.
On the other hand of the opposite s*x, the word ‘homos*xuality’ came to mind, but I am not that kind of person, so it must be a simple misunderstanding.
Maybe it’s his mental attack.
– Hahoe Mask. You are so rational that even a black magic user cannot think of it. It’s a pity, it’s a pity Just in case, do you have any plans to join us?
It was the scouting offer I was hoping for.
Still, it was a good opportunity to find out information about them.
[under! What do you believe in these unknown people? Okay, let me ask you this right now. What is your purpose?]
– Freedom of returnees. Creating the world we lead.
‘Is it a formal feeling? Are you serious?’
I didn’t know if what he was saying was true.
Who knows if this might be just a superficial reason to convince Hans, a returnee.
[The goal is too much for an organization that has only recently emerged.]
– We have been around for a long time. And I kept fighting for freedom.
The word struggle somehow bothered me.
As well as saying it was a long time ago.
[Does that mean that terrorism has continued from before?]
-Terrorism… You might think so. But it was necessary. It was an unavoidable sacrifice.
‘Yeah, I thought it would be like this.’
you’re out ‘The inevitable sacrifice’.
These guys were the ones who took other people’s sacrifices for granted for their own purposes.
An obvious ‘evil’ that no longer needs to be questioned.
And he was my ‘enemy’ to rationalize the terror I’ve committed so far.
A memory that suddenly came to my mind, I secretly managed to manage my emotions in a hurry with the “Mind Hub”.
But maybe it’s because I’m not used to the spiritual state.
For a very brief moment, it seemed that part of the emotion had leaked out.
As if he had noticed this side, his expression changed completely.
– I hope you make a wise choice. This is the spiritual world. It is a place where mental ability takes precedence over magical power. You can’t beat me here.
[Huh? You are finally revealing your true nature. What if I accept? Do you plan to plant gold in my head too?]
-It is also unavoidable. If you don’t like it, you can resist. The damage done to the spirit body here also affects the real body. This would be a good opportunity to deal with the obstacles.
It was a very self-deprecating attitude.
It’s good to shut up and follow what you’re told, but even if you resist, you can handle it at any time.
I thought it was kind of relaxing.
– Choose Note that you won’t be able to get out of it easily. Even if you are lucky enough to go out, you will have to give up a lot of things due to fatal injuries.
Because it was a mental world, time outside was still flowing slowly.
It’s only been a few seconds since Hans grabbed the Bundchen’s head and thrust black magic into his head.
That said, it meant that there was still a lot of free time…
[Khhhh- the spirit world…. Is it clear that they divide each other’s superiority and inferiority based on mental factors?]
That meant we had enough time to kick him.
[How dare you make such a threat to this body that rules death. It’s so pitiful.]
Because in that direction, this one was a veteran.

“Heinrich-kun? Heinrich! are you okay? That’s weird. There’s nothing wrong with your body…?”
The lost spirit slowly returned.
All of a sudden, an old man in a priest’s uniform approached Heinrich’s nose and looked carefully at his face.
“ah! I’m sorry, Ambassador. I was thinking about something else for a while… Ahahaha!”
“Ahh, where does a young man leave his mind? Did you know that I suddenly lost my mind and fell asleep with my eyes open? They say that they are educated from dawn, so I understand.”
There are only a few things that require me to focus my mind urgently for a moment.
Since it was a matter that could not be confided to others, he hadtily came up with an excuse.
“Ah, seeing the results reminds me of the past. How much trouble have you been through…”
“Ugly! To be able to use this level of Holy Method within a short period of time is a great talent. You have what it takes to be a great combat priest!”
As the saying goes, just before ‘letting go’, he was in the process of seeing the fruits of his education on the Holy Law.
“The entity has attained enlightenment through repeated training. Acquire the skill 「Auterica Holy Law」.」
The “Auterica Sacred Method”, a magic technique that uses divine power that I learned not long after receiving the blessing.
It took longer than expected because there were many differences from other auras I was used to.
“Thank you, High Priest. But soon I will become a paladin. As a paladin, I will do my best to save more people with the holy law taught by the high priest!”
“Yeah, then I saw it. You’ll do well even as a paladin, so don’t worry. Every time I see him grow day by day, I am amazed.”
Of course, that it took a long time was just my standard.
The synergy between the correction given to the Awakened in a different world and the acceleration of the growth of the alter body attached to the 「Avatar」 provided a growth rate that was astonishing to the people here.
Heinrich, who had greeted the high priest in charge of teaching the Holy Law, left the education center and looked up at the rising sky in the morning.
‘Finally achieved the first goal!’
Yes, after a while, he will finally be appointed as the paladin that Heinrich had been waiting for for a long time.
Reporting the acquisition of “Blessing: Rigid Body” yesterday evening, as soon as the conditions for a paladin were achieved, it was immediately approved.
A splendid achievement that Heinrich achieved half a year after he joined the Jushin Church.
Of course, it was impossible to become a paladin in half a year in general.
Heinrich’s case was only very special.
Talent is also a talent, but the timing was very good in many ways.
It also played a part in the characteristics of the Godhead Church, which is full of divine power and can rise quickly if there is only the ability.
‘This one went smoothly, and the other worked well. . . . Whoops, but what did he say earlier?’
Did I say that even if you get lucky, you’ll have to give up a lot of things with fatal injuries?
Heinrich burst into laughter and walked to the gym, thinking about getting some sweat before it was time to eat.
“Huh… are you lucky?”
Leaving only a strange smile that I don’t know who to send it to.
***
A luxurious room filled with colorful ornaments in red and gold.
“Great… Khhhh!”
Kudangtang—!
A man in his thirties was sitting on a chair and fell to the floor, vomiting blood from his mouth.
“Shut up… Damn it…!”
“Yulryeongja (律令者)! Are you okay?!”
An escort hiding in a sudden abnormal situation appeared and was vigilant, but it was useless as it was not an external attack in the first place.
‘This is absurd…! lost? I? In a battle in the spirit world?’
The fight against Hahoe Mask in the spirit world.
It was a familiar battlefield, a familiar battle.
Except for the fact that it is an unfamiliar opponent.
“Wow, wow—!”
Pieces of the intestines were mixed with the blood from the cut blood.
Not only that, but something whitish with blood was also dripping down from his left eye.
Quang!
“Master of the Law!”
“Hurry! Get ready for treatment quickly!”
The door to the room opened like it would break, and his subordinates and healers rushed in like crazy.
‘···Queen, it would be useless to look at it.’
Because this was not physical damage.
It was a recoil due to the influence of a damaged spirit body.
Still, it was better than nothing, so he quietly surrendered himself to the hands of his subordinates and closed his eyes.
There was a constant reflux of blood from his mouth, but it didn’t get worse, perhaps thanks to his healing powers.
[Kukakakat—! Caught—!]
Closing my eyes, the last scene in the mental world lingered in my mind.
The moment when the black figure that seems to have united the abyss bursts out a bizarre smile and reaches out to him.
“Ugh…”
At the last moment, if it wasn’t for his unique skill, “Image Projection”, it wouldn’t have ended like this.
····The moment you lose the battle even after using it, your credibility has bottomed out.
‘Why did you lose? It’s not just a mental difference. skill difference? There’s no way my mental skills aren’t enough. A more fundamental part than that…’
At first, a somewhat equal fight followed.
A series of processes in which one sharpens a blade in one’s mind and cuts down the opponent, and blocks each other’s attacks by building a barrier.
But at some point, the opponent’s reaction changed.
This side’s attack did no damage to the opponent as if cutting a fog, and the other side’s attack was fatal as if wielding all the madness and malice in the world.
Enough to destroy his strong mental barrier, which he prided himself on being a stronghold.
At that time, the appearance of the opponent was not normal no matter how you looked at it.
A collection of all kinds of negative emotions such as fear, despair, lamentation, pain, anger, and death.
It felt like fighting a monster, not a human.
‘I didn’t feel that way when we were talking. How could you normally hide such madness? No, in the first place…’
Is it possible for a human to harbor such malice?
Is Hahoetal really human?
‘It’s more like a high-ranking undead… No, it can’t be.’
Awoken sent to another world was declared dead the moment they became undead, and could not return to Earth through the Karma Shop.
Even if he seemed to have self-consciousness, it was just a degenerated existence with the delusions of a human enemy.
An undead from another world would not be able to deviate from the laws of the earth, and it would be nearly impossible to create an undead at that level on Earth.
‘Apart from all that, when we first met in a spirit state, we were clearly human. Although the amount of black magic he possessed was enormous, it must have been.’
Of course, it changed drastically after the battle took place.
Still, some of the human element remained.
If I had to ask, would it be similar to Mine?
The difference between the madness and the level was much greater, though.
‘…was the devil sealed inside?’
Then, when the crisis struck, the seal was lifted…
‘For now, that hypothesis is the most credible. If that’s the case, then the guy won’t be safe either. It would require a great price to seal that level of existence.’
Thinking that it was not one-sided, I felt a little more at ease.
He sighed and opened one eye.
“Master of the Law! Are you okay?!”
The escort, who first noticed his ideal, asked urgently.
The other men were still trying to catch him and heal him.
He’s still raging inside, his left eye is permanently lost, and he can’t even feel his legs.
A part of the soul was torn off and the magic circuit was also fatally damaged, and the current state was nothing more than a living mortuary.
But there was still work to be done, so we had to hurry.
“Special order to the Seoul branch. Immediate cessation of all operations, destroy information, and infiltrate. Recover only Alpha from the clan, and cut off all other minor connections and cut off the tail.”
He paused for a moment, took a breath, and continued speaking.
“First-class orders to all branches in Korea. Close the base where you are currently staying and erase all traces. The new base will be arbitrarily judged and reported later. Suspension of activities until further instructions… Cool!”
Maybe it was because he talked a lot, and blood started gushing out of his mouth again.
“Master of the Law! You must rest now!”
The healers screamed, but he clenched his teeth and delivered his final words.
“And tell the lord. There are monsters in Korea. .
At the end of such a muttering sound, he let go of the mental cord he had been holding forcibly and lowered his head.
The escort, who received his order, hurriedly flew away, and the rest moved to move him to a safer place after completing first aid.
It was the moment when Yullyeongja, who was in charge of Korea’s affairs, fell, and the operation of the Buncheonhoe was put to a halt.
