My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant - My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant chapter 74
Brokoslak Clan (1)
Harris headed for the eastern part of the Ion Continent over a few days with the Elven Kingdom’s delegation.
‘It’s certainly not a big deal to cross the continent through the power of the denomination.’
As the Orthodox denomination showed an influence that transcends race and borders, it was nothing more than being allowed to move to any area if they had their guarantee.
After passing through several temples, the party who arrived at the easternmost end of the republic in the eastern part headed straight to the nearby forest.
“Doesn’t that . . . have to cross our sea?”
When Cecily questioned the mysterious destination, Lapori smiled softly.
“It is dangerous and takes a long time to cross the sea directly. Miss Cecily, remember. The root of every tree in the world is the World Tree, and the high elves are His chosen ones.”
Simply put, the high elves could use the power of the World Tree to move through forests in any distant place.
‘The same goes for detecting Hans, isn’t the high elf’s ability unexpectedly great? No, it’s natural because it’s using the power of the World Tree, isn’t it?’
Of course, the longer the distance you have to move, the greater the power consumed, so I came here to reduce the distance as much as possible.
Still, I thought that it would be more convenient than the Gods Church, which can only travel long distances through the gate of the temple.
‘Except that only high elves can use it. It was a meaningless comparison.’
There are less than ten of the elves, so it’s impossible to use them just to move.
“Okay, then, from now on, just follow me. Make sure you don’t fall apart from your party.”
A cool energy radiated from Lapori’s body and wrapped around them.
And the party, with Cecily and Harris standing in the middle of the line so that they would not be left behind, followed Lapori in the lead and headed into the depths of the forest.
“But you will have to travel like this for a few more days. There’s no rush now, so let’s go slowly.”
When he came, he hurried to rescue Cecily as quickly as possible, but there was no need to push too hard on the way back.
In the beginning, the long-lived elves were basically laid-back.
In this way, they crossed the forest road with a dreamy atmosphere and started their journey across the ocean.

Heinz II entered Talaria, the capital of the kingdom of Talia in the western part of the continent.
He concentrated on hiding his inner aura by activating “concealment” to the limit, so no one noticed his true identity.
“It’s too expensive… Please reduce it a little.”
“What do you say! There is nothing left of this!”
Ordinary people living their daily lives.
It was an ordinary city scene that could be seen anywhere.
‘There are vampires all over the place… but it’s not too much, it’s completely hidden.’
As Heinz walked down the street, he looked around leisurely.
He was able to find out because of his transcendental senses and being a much higher level vampire, but their stealth was greater than expected.
After all, no matter how influential it was, this was the capital of a country that even had a shrine to the Shinshin Church.
It must have been difficult for vampires, who are dark beings, to openly act.
‘I’ll have to think about how to shake them up. It’s still too early to go straight to your base.’
The power gathered there is also power, but they were the established elite who had been hiding in the shadow of this kingdom for many years.
Even if I cause a fuss, it won’t help anything in the future.
In the end, they have no choice but to induce gaps by nibbling on them from the outside, but in order to do that, it was necessary to have someone who knows their internal affairs well on their side.
‘There is a “purified blood tablet,” so it’s that simple. Then, let’s convince a suitable vampire.’
There will be some force and coercion involved in the process, but it will never be bad for the person involved.
Because while raising Heterosys, I have experienced the strengthening effect of “Pure Blood” several times.
A drop of his blood was like an elixir to vampires.
‘There is a target that looks good over there. Let’s start with that guy… huh?’
It was detected that a vampire was killing Ki-cheok from the window on the second floor of the unpopular house.
But the closer he got, the more familiar the aura he felt.
‘It’s hazy as to what number I wrote… Could this be?’
How many vampires would Heinz have in the first place?
Most of them were swept away from Ajantu, so there were only a handful of those left.
Among them, if it is a person who is likely to stand on the border in such a place…
And the culprit, who came closer and confirmed, was a vampire he knew well.
‘Rosilica. I was here.’
When Heinz II first became a vampire, he was in charge of his education.
It is unknown how the immortal king’s fragments were stolen from Ajantu after the incident began, but it seems that it was relocated to the capital.
‘I thought he might have died in a clash with the denomination, how did he survive?’
I heard that quite a number of vampires were killed as there was once a major clash.
Seeing that he managed to survive despite the many hardships that began in Ajantu, one of the silks seemed to be tough.
Heinz quietly used “invisibility” to seep into the building where she was.
“hahaha, what kind of new thing is this since broad daylight? My skin has gotten rough these days, how long do I have to be like this?”
As he quietly infiltrated the house, the figure of Rosilica who grumbled over and over came into his gaze.
The room was covered with blackout curtains everywhere, and the dark room was filled with all kinds of blood magic barriers painted with blood.
Starting with the type of erasing the presence of those inside, auxiliary devices to facilitate external monitoring, there were basic alarms and defensive barriers against intruders.
‘Of course it doesn’t mean anything to me.’
He grasped the barrier with the “mystery of blood” and gently ignored it with the power of “concealment” and approached Rosilica’s back.
‘There is a notification device that triggers when the watcher dies, but there is no function to communicate the internal situation in real time. That’s good.’
Lightly scanning the barriers behind her, “Invisibility” was turned off.
However, as she was still dead, she did not notice the appearance of Heinz and kept looking out the window.
“You need to sleep well during the day so your skin doesn’t get damaged…”
“Rosilica.”
Her body flinched and stopped for a moment, but it was only for a moment.
“I’m sorry! My mouth is square… huh?”
Rosilica, who immediately turned back and apologized, looked at Heinz’s face and was startled.
He appeared ignoring the barrier and knew her name, so I thought it was a matter of course.
“…I’m sorry, but who are you…?”
However, perhaps because of the preceding factors, she kept her tension and asked cautiously while showing a warning sign.
His appearance and physique have changed a lot from when we were together before, so it was natural to not know him.
“It’s Heinz.”
“Heinz…?”
I honestly didn’t want to hide her name, but she just tilted her head without reacting as if she thought it was just the same person.
“Are you a guest of our clan?”
Rosilica was wary, but continued to show politeness, as if she felt that she was a strong person at a level that she could not do.
“Yes, I am a guest.”
“ah! Then it’s not here…”
“I wasn’t invited.”
right after the words were finished.
Shh-!
Five lines of blood from the tip of her right hand swung sharply towards Heinz.
At the same time, the left hand was extended as an axis of the barrier to announce the ideal…
“Big?”
Blood chains that had already stretched out from all directions wrapped around her body, completely blocking her movement as well as the flow of magical power.
“Nonsense! Could it be, blood? ···This is Brokoslac’s realm! This is a violation of the agreement!”
At that absolute gap, she shouted in a bewildered voice, wondering if she thought Heinz was the true blood of another clan.
But Heinz was thinking differently then.
‘wait? Maybe this?’
He was supposed to be inside the good hiding barrier, and he showed off the vampire’s aura that was hidden with “concealment”.
With extreme blood control and overwhelming blood magic control, only the desired part was extracted separately, and only a small portion was exposed.
And Rosilica, a blood-sensitive vampire, immediately recognized the smell of blood in it.
“Uh… huh? our clan? No, it’s something else… what?”
I concentrated as much as possible to extract only the aura close to the original, but it seems like it was completely unreasonable.
But that was enough to confuse her.
Taking advantage of the chaos of her thinking, Heinz quietly opened his mouth.
“I am Brokoslac’s collateral.”
And, as he has always done, he began to speak out based on a lot of plausible information.
There were quite a few factions in the world of vampires.
For some reason, those who escaped the interference of ‘subordination of blood’ formed their own power and branched out.
Even if their roots are the same, they start to become different over the generations, and eventually become completely separate forces.
Heinz recalled them and proceeded to tell the story in moderation.
Roughly speaking, they just split from the same root, and they were only trying to take the initiative as a collateral that had been persecuted for a long time.
He added that this is not an invasion from the outside, but a competition from the inside, and we have no intention of harming the whole clan.
Truly an unbelievable feast of bullsh*t.
However, since he made the story based on the facts that already exist, and Heinz secretly used the “mystery of blood” with subtle hints, he couldn’t hold a big question.
‘But looking back, it’s not even wrong.’
First of all, isn’t it correct that his roots are brokoslac?
“Hey… I’m just a piece of blood, so why the hell…”
“Follow me, I will give you strength. You just need to help me out a little bit.”
The reason for going through such a cumbersome process was to reduce her rejection as much as possible.
Because there was no brainwashing effect to make even the heart absolutely loyal to the subordination of 「Pure Blood」.
“…I’m sorry, but I…”
She opened her mouth to say the word of refusal.
Quite a natural fact, how many people will follow the first person they see for the first time by letting go of the rope they hold so well.
“ah! I’m afraid I might be misunderstood.”
But before she could even finish her words, Heinz’s smirking voice interrupted her.
“You have no choice.”
I was just telling you to give up comfortably and follow me.
Once they become subordinate to 「Pure Blood」, there is no turning back, so they will follow him even if it is unavoidable.
Heinz’s hand reached out to Rosilica with a trembling expression.
***
In the end, he was able to smoothly seek cooperation from the desperate Rosilica.
Although there was still an atmosphere of dissatisfaction, apart from that, he seemed satisfied with his own power, which had been strengthened by the “Pure Blood”.
The inside information of the Brokoslak Clan obtained as a result.
Of course, she didn’t have much advanced information because she was still blood, but as long as she stayed here for a long time, she was able to get some useful information.
One of them was information about ‘Frysia Brokoslac’, a jinhyeol that oversees the surveillance network of the capital Talaria.
“Freesia-sama is an unusual person. I often go for a walk during the day. He must have enjoyed getting people’s attention…”
An immature aristocratic lady who enjoys shopping, etc., walking around the capital in a splendid outfit.
That was the camouflage identity that Jinhyeol was promoting.
“I’ve heard his sensing range is huge. If you’re in the commercial district, it’s as far as the outside of the castle gate. In fact, would you be able to monitor half of the capital by yourself?”
When I heard it, it was a very familiar impression.
The first day of King Heinz II’s arrival in the capital to invite Heinrich to join the Order of God.
It was Jinhyeol, who had no choice but to run away from the wind he encountered at that time.
‘Oh, I remember. It was a vampire who used magic eyes.’
He suddenly appeared from behind and investigated the predation of his own people, and he ran away by canceling the summons, thinking that he would see it next time.
‘But I saw you again like this.’
Memories of that time flashed back.
To be honest, I didn’t really have any grudges as much as I avoided it right away, but it wasn’t because I didn’t have a good feeling for it either…
‘Let’s see each other after a long time.’
A cold smile formed on Heinz’s lips.
