My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant - My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant chapter 50
Harley (1) – (last free)
“Kreuk, Kreuk…”
A monster with gray hair was breathing heavily.
As if reminiscent of a gorilla, a monster that barely supported its body with its massively developed arms.
He had already dyed his whole body red with the blood that had already flowed from the wounds on his body.
“Aww—!”
The monster roared with anger and straightened its back.
The identities of those who suddenly attacked him were unknown, but he was a stalwart who had settled in this area for many years.
Even if this body becomes a mop, I will never be easily beaten!
However, the pursuers in the dark were not in a position to consider his resolve.
[As much as possible without harm. be careful. I get mad again.]
The undead that appeared as if oozing out of the shadow of the forest surrounded the monster.
Leading them was Malcolm, the Death Wizard under Hans.
[The Bondage of the Underworld.]
The sharp rock masses that rose from the floor gathered and bound the limbs of the monster, while the surrounding undead rushed at the monster at once.
“Woo!”
But he didn’t just stand still.
Cracks formed in the rock mass that bound them in the arms, which had become bloated with muscles that had swelled in an instant.
Quad Duck—
After breaking the rock that stuck to his arm.
He smashed the floor and even removed the restraints holding his legs.
In the meantime, the undead rushed in and stabbed me in various parts of the body, but with the strong vitality unique to monsters, they began to run wild.
And the fight went on longer than expected.
[careful. careful! not to kill. to avoid contamination. …and that’s difficult. The resistance isn’t that great… The bondage of the underworld.]
It was entirely because of the Master’s order.
Capture them alive, uncontaminated, and as intact as possible.
If he was only going to kill him and take the body with him, Malcolm alone would have ended it right away.
If it had only been captured alive, it would have been easily defeated by the association of black magic and the undead.
But they are undead.
He was born from death from the very beginning, and the basis of that energy is black magic.
For those who are sick, they are just beings that spread deadly energy just by being next to them.
It was more difficult than I thought to completely capture the opponent as they breathed death and curses.
Malcolm had restrictions on the use of black magic, and the other undead had to suppress their energy as much as possible.
It was even more problematic because the target was a monster that had tough vitality and was difficult to stun.
“Cruckle…”
After all that effort, he used magic that had less of the influence of black magic as much as possible, and the undead did not spare their own body…
Malcolm’s crew managed to successfully subdue him so he couldn’t resist.
A gorilla-type monster that struggles under the undead with its limbs constrained.
[success···. Now return.]
But things always happened in such a careless way.
“Chuong—!”
Quad Duck!
[ah.]
At that moment of resting his heart, the monster who started the last movement bit off the ankle of the Skeleton Knight that was holding him down.
hard! Close! gulp-
Not only that, he put the torn ankle into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it as it is.
The undead rushing in immediately subdued the monster once again, but it was inevitable that they had already swallowed it.
Because I couldn’t cut the ship in the yard where I had to capture it as completely as possible.
[Well···.]
The damage suffered by the undead could be easily repaired with black magic, but that was not the point.
Of course, parts of the body of the undead were not particularly good for the body.
[Because monsters are strong, that might be okay…]
Usually picking up and eating anything was a monster’s diet, so the level of the undead wouldn’t be a big deal.
With such hope, Malcolm moved the nicely packaged monsters to Hans’s laboratory…
puck!
Of course, it was not okay, so Hans, who became sensitive to repeated experiments, had to go out to hunt again.
Restoring the back of the head, which had been slightly worn out by being hit too hard, with black magic.
***
Hans closed his eyes and was meditating.
Of course, I couldn’t really close my eyelids because I didn’t have eyelids, but it was the same as being deeply immersed in the inner world and unable to perceive the outside.
<You can do it too! 100 days of Chimera Engineering>
<Biological annuity through Toxen’s theorem>
“There is only one difference between poison and medicine”
It was to examine the infinite knowledge contained in “Forbidden Knowledge” and apply it.
The results are derived by combining the biological research data such as the chimera contained there and the experimental information of the Bundchenhoe, and substituting the directly verified results.
Hans regained consciousness and looked down at Harley, who was lying on the operating table, and fell into trouble.
[Hmm, the dragon blood seems to have settled in the body properly.]
Now, three months after the experiment, the landscape of the cave has changed a lot from before.
Flasks containing unknown drugs, living tissues kept fresh by preservation magic, and all kinds of bizarre experimental tools.
Not only that, but the bizarre magic circles and magic tools located everywhere flickered the cool light, showing off their presence.
It is the laboratory of a scientist who has lost his humanity by falling into madness.
Considering the fact that even the occult was mixed, it could be said that the quality was even worse.
“Are you feeling a little sore? It seems that the adaptation is not finished yet. It’s not like I’m going to die though.”
[Let’s take some time and watch. Responsive faster than expected. It looks like it won’t be long before the results come out. Also this body Heh heh…]
The experiment went smoothly.
a day from that.
“Hey, it feels like something is boiling inside…”
[Hmm, is it a side effect? I thought “adaptation” would be enough to survive. It would be better to reduce the intensity a little.]
again three days later.
“Uh-huh— Cool! Whoops!”
[Um… have you crossed the limits of “super recovery”? I’m sorry. If I could have gone a little further from here, I would have been able to succeed right away. Let’s try to adjust it a bit.]
After a week like that.
“·················ogue.”
[…] Consciousness is not connected. Now I can’t lose Harley… Hmmm, should I try a gamble? I think I should use all the remaining hemolysis.]
It was a little over three months after Hans and Harley’s joint study began.
“Well?”
[Your mind is finally connected! I’m glad the gamble was successful. I used all of the dragon blood, but it’s still in Harley’s body anyway, so the research can continue. 👑👑👑 . . ]
“…but, the state of the body seems a bit strange…”
That moment.
“The object grows by fulfilling the condition. The skill “Adaptation” evolves into the special skill “Mutation.”
“The object fulfills the condition and the possibility blooms. Acquire the special skill 「Physical Transformation」.」
《The object’s resilience has exceeded its limit. Skill 「Super Recovery」 evolves into skill 「Regeneration」.」
“Five?”
[Five?]
At the message that popped up one after another, the two exclaimed at the same time.
“if it goes like this···.”
[Experiment success.]
It was a splendid achievement that was accomplished in about 100 days in Auterica time and 10 days in Earth time.
Of course, the result was quite different from what they wanted, but in any case, this has achieved its purpose.
“Mutation” is the characteristic of evolving oneself through an external gene, so strictly speaking, it was not that different.
‘In the meantime, getting 「Regeneration」 is an unexpected income.’
Perhaps it was because of the transfusion of the blood of monsters with excellent regenerative power for the experiment.
It was the first achievement I got as soon as I got “Mutation”.
But the joys did not end there.
《The unique skill grows and the potential blooms. The number of avatars that can be possessed increases.”
Because I was able to make one more avatar.
‘Ummm… this was really unexpected.’
Until now, the increase in the number of avatars has only been achieved through strengthening the Karma Shop.
This is the first time avatars have grown through natural growth.
‘There have been a few small growths so far. What threshold did you cross as you grew up this time?’
In fact, it was a time when growth levels gradually piled up and some results appeared.
To say that rapid enhancement is possible through the Karma Shop means that one day you can achieve the same result through natural growth.
‘Is it the fifth avatar…? You’ve just made a Harley usable.’
It was time to think about the use of the new avatar.
Of course, unlike before, it was a fun worry.
***
It’s been 4 months since Heinrich became a paladin.
His current job was as a brilliance guarding the Holy Knights guarding the inside of the Great Hall of Roselia.
Among the paladins, only those who had proven their faith due to their high sacred power could join, but they were able to enter as a training level thanks to the superiors who noticed his potential.
Heinrich’s divine power, which has grown steadily over the years, is now at the top of the high priest level.
It was Sir Lairin, a blue-haired female paladin who was in charge of his guidance.
“There is nothing special about internal security. As you already know from having tried it elsewhere, it is because there are several layers of defense from the outside. And this is where the commanders of the knights and the archbishops also stay…”
Further down there are saints, cardinals, and even the pope.
Of course, they won’t go out on their own if they do.
‘Besides the saints wandering around.’
“Nevertheless, expenses are a necessity. In particular, it is necessary to prevent accidental entry into the road leading to an important point.”
“If it’s an important base… what kind of place is it?”
It must be a place like the residence of high-ranking people or a secret safe, but to be sure, I asked Lairin, who was in charge of the lead.
A question posed without meaning.
But she only looked at Heinrich with a worried expression on her face.
“Hmm… I think it would be fine with this level of divine power… Still, rules are rules. Come this way.”
Following her to a corner of the Great Hall, Heinrich moved to a place he had never been before.
A place where there are few people who have never been there while guarding.
To be precise, it was a place where there was no need to guard.
smart-
“I come from the brilliance. A newcomer has arrived, and I need an oath.”
The door swung open with a light knock.
A man came out from inside and quietly led them inside.
‘The Inquisitor.’
A black priest’s uniform, a pressed hood, and even a mask that covered the mouth.
This was the place where the heretical inquisitors of the Jusin Church worked.
Following the silent man, he went through the dark hallway and entered a room without a window.
“You just sit in front of him and read the document in front of you.”
There was a document on the table where we were guided, and a heretic inquisitor sat on the chair opposite.
I sat down carefully and checked the contents of the document that read ‘Bright Protection’ at the top, and it was a security pledge without anything special.
A memorandum under which you pledge to remain silent about what you learn while working.
The moment I was about to read it.
Ugh—
The person sitting in front raised a hand and placed it on Heinrich’s forehead.
I flinched for a moment at the sudden situation, but I ignored it and recited the contents of the document casually.
“Therefore, I swear to remain silent under all circumstances.”
After reading the document.
Divine power erupted from the hand placed on his forehead.
“·················ogue.”
“···········?”
And the Inquisitor in front of him quietly withdrew his hand and didn’t say anything.
“it’s over. I’m leaving.”
After that, until after receiving Lairin’s guidance and going out again, I could not hear any other voices except for them.
“…is it really that quiet without saying a word?”
“Well, it’s good that we don’t hear from you anymore. To have a voice would mean that the situation is not that bad.”
There is no need to ask what the bad situation was.
“So what did you do? A ban to keep secrets from being revealed?”
“hahaha… it’s forbidden. Blessing. Blessings of silence. The effect is that certain information cannot be leaked, whether voluntarily or unintentionally. Isn’t that great?”
It’s forbidden!
It was no different from other gold medals except that divine power was the basis.
‘Still, as the name is a blessing, there is no such thing as popping the person’s head, right?’
“hahaha, so what is that important base, so why do you need to receive such a ‘blessing of silence’?”
“Hmm, wait a minute. I’m also on silence, so I’ll have to follow the procedure before I can speak. It will take a while.”
The waiting time was never short.
However, the information they found through the complicated process was enough to understand why they valued security so much.
“The important ceremonies that are being performed must not be disturbed. And the lodgings of the saint are…….”
The living quarters of important people and secret safes were nothing special.
“…Finally, there is one thing you should know.”
In one of the deepest places of the church.
“A place where you have to risk your life to protect in case of an emergency.”
‘That is.
“The last fragment of the Immortal King…”
Compared to the fact that it is sealed in the Great Hall of Roselia here.
