My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant

advance preparation (2)

Seoul Southern Branch of Korea Returnees Association.

Clever— Clap!

“Chief of the branch, about the establishment of a canteen in the branch that you ordered last time… . . . Branch manager?”

The secretary, who was entering the branch manager’s office with payment documents, stopped for a moment.

Ji-yoon Yoon, the branch manager, frowned and stared intently at the computer screen.

“Oh, is Secretary Kim here? Bring it here.”

His eyes were still fixed on the screen.

“Chief. Did anything happen at the meeting today?”

Today was the day of a regular virtual meeting at the branch manager level and above, and Secretary Kim had just arrived after hearing that it was over a while ago.

“If it’s an incident, it’s an incident… but isn’t this ambiguous?”

“What do you mean ambiguous?”

“Do you have a blood alliance?”

She looked away from the computer screen and looked at the secretary.

Secretary Kim nodded in affirmation.

“Yes, it is an organization of Korean vampires. I heard you haven’t done anything big yet… Have you ever worked for a hardliner?”

“A big thing is a big thing, but I don’t think it’s a bad thing. maybe?”

“Yes?”

“The moderates won. They say they are cleaning up the hardliners and absorbing the remnants of the party. Alpha’s whereabouts are unknown.”

Secretary Kim looked at the branch manager with a confused expression.

“Is that possible? I think I heard that the power gap is quite severe.”

“That’s it. What happened?”

The Returnees Association, that is, the Guardians, had been watching the clan for a long time.

From a standpoint of maintaining public order, it is natural.

So, I was understanding them in more detail than I thought, and I was able to quickly notice this unusual occurrence.

“I should try to talk first. During that time, we helped a lot.”

In fact, the Returnees Association has been secretly supporting the moderate group by supplying blood through the blood center.

The government’s Bureau of Illness Management wants to control them, but from the point of view of keeping the security on the front lines, it is better to maintain friendly relations with the moderate ones.

It was an effective means so far, as it could reduce potential enemies in the field where there was still a shortage of manpower and had the effect of checking the radical hardliners.

I didn’t know what was going to happen in the future, but maybe it’s better than the hardliners gaining power.

Now I couldn’t help but wish for that.

“Please don’t be too busy here…”

“I know yeah···.”

Otherwise, there will be a lot more work to be done.

***

Heinz II opened his eyes quietly.

A familiar yet unfamiliar forest welcomed him.

An unchanging lush forest.

Only he was different then.

“Nothing has changed here.”

This is the place where he first arrived in Auterica.

The starting point was the monster forest.

‘Now is the best place to hide and study.’

The vows of Yeokcheon completely hid their tails in the vicinity, and the vampires could not afford to pay attention to the forest as they lost Ajantu, the city closest to this place.

And since the denomination has been neglected all the time since it had already gone through it once, it was truly a communist state.

‘There is a limit to monitoring all this wide forest. There is no better place to study quietly than here, as the surrounding monsters will serve as natural fences as well as test subjects.’

Heinz threw himself away and headed for the depths of the forest.

The surrounding monsters could not even sense his presence, thanks to which he was able to move comfortably.

‘I feel a sense of urgency. At first, I think I risked my life to fight a monster.’

Was it the black panther who fought back then?

Heinz today was just not as good as a local dog.

It’s been a while since I moved like that.

He finally stopped in front of a cave and looked around.

“It would be appropriate here.”

A location that is not easily noticeable, the distribution of monsters that inhabit the area, and even a cave with a large space for research.

Perfectly suited for setting up a secret laboratory.

“It would be the first priority to ask for the consent of the residents who have settled in first.”

Heinz confidently entered the cave.

And after a while.

He was able to set up a barrier by using the abundant blood generously.

A barrier built with the “mystery of blood”, the energy of “concealment” that permeates the whole.

The primary preparations have been completed.

A few days passed like that…

Whoo-wook

Inside the cave where bizarre patterns made of blood fill the walls.

In the middle of it, darkness fell for an instant.

[Woohoo….]

A person who spreads jet-black energy while wearing a black robe.

It was Hans.

[Hmm, I must hurry.]

As soon as the transfer was made, Hans moved immediately.

It was already in a state of concealment all over his body to hide his existence, but it was more certain to set up a barrier.

Carefully using black magic, he engraved new shapes on the floor of the wall engraved with blood patterns.

Barrier building work done at a fast pace.

Heinz, who was waiting inside the cave, also joined in and applied the power of “concealment” to it.

All kinds of barriers such as concealment of black magic, spatial distortion, cognitive decline, and undetectability filled the interior of the cave.

As if to prove their growth in the past, they showed a far superior effect than before through 「Path of Magic」.

[I think I’ve done enough. I’ll have to wait and see how the results turn out.]

I was confident as it was a collaboration between Hans and Heinz, but I didn’t know what the limits of a saint would be, so I wasn’t at the stage of reassurance yet.

Since they have the best sources of information, the effect can be quickly grasped.

One day was enough to see the results.

“Hello, Mrs. You don’t seem to be in a very good mood today. What’s going on?”

“Ah… hello, Sir Heinrich. I have a bit of a frustrating job… Don’t worry about it, it’s not a big deal.”

The Saint’s reaction confirmed through Heinrich, through him, showed that she had not been able to locate Hans.

It was because there was no movement to convene a subjugation squad, only making a subtle, frustrated expression.

‘Still, it’s great. Even after blocking so thoroughly, it seems that Hans’s existence itself has been detected.’

He only felt that Hans was in Autherica, but he didn’t seem to be able to even pinpoint his approximate location.

It was worth the effort in many ways.

‘Anyway, with this, we can start serious research. If something changes, you can tell through Heinrich.’

Hans immediately took out the materials and went to study.

Since I had time to spare, I didn’t rush and looked at it step by step.

When I first thought about the career path of ‘Harley’, I had a lot of worries.

Among them, the priority was to walk the path of the devil, just like the other two avatars.

It was a natural choice because it had no choice but to grow rapidly.

‘The first thing that was considered was a werewolf.’

Werewolves whose potential grows by eating the hearts of prey they have caught themselves, the official name of this place was Lycan Slope.

However, it was not a bad option, as there were many ways to bypass it, even if it was ‘directly’.

Because the great seniors were able to help somehow.

‘But the potential only grows, and the rise is not as dramatic as vampires. Also, it seems like there’s a lot of overlap. That’s why it was put on hold for now.’

In addition, in Auterica, Lycanslopes were a minority race that was rejected because of their ferocious tendencies, unlike beasts, so there was no choice but to limit their activities.

This research material was discovered while thinking about it.

It was collectively known as the ‘Perfectly Evolutionary Biological Project’.

Although there were significant similarities to chimera research, this was aimed at a different goal.

Because the purpose was not to simply add and use a different kind of body, but to continuously evolve the body by absorbing only superior genes.

‘You can also transform like a werewolf in case of emergency!’

No matter how you think about it, transformation was an element not to be missed.

The romance… No, it was a groundbreaking discovery that could take away the advantages and exclude the disadvantages of the Lycan Slope.

‘It is this ‘dragon blood’ that is the basis of it.’

Hans took out a vial of a purplish jewel-like liquid and shook it.

The blood of a predatory dragon that exists in the Laubeda dimension.

Predatory dragons were among the highest in Laubeda, a dimension where many dragons and dragon hunters exist.

The worst dragon that continues to evolve while expressing the characteristics of the opponent it ate.

It continues to evolve for as long as it survives, eventually becoming a apex predator to the point of no natural enemy.

‘…it was written in the research report.’

The Buncheonhoe started researching to use the characteristics of the predatory dragon through the blood.

[The amount of blood is a little small, but the important thing is the characteristics contained in that blood, so it doesn’t matter.]

When I searched the head of the research institute, there was also a content about competition with other branches, so it seems that the research was carried out at the same time by handing out blood to several branches.

The question here was whether Hans alone would be able to reach a goal that had not been achieved even after he had mastered numerous magic tricks.

To that extent, it was difficult to complete this research, no matter how many skills Hans had.

[Khhhh… Of course, this body has no intention of completing research, so it’s a good question.]

Yes, there was no need for him to ‘complete’ the research perfectly.

All he wanted was Harley’s reinforcements, so all he had to do was make it usable.

The connection through the various techniques of gnomes is acknowledged.

However, the research log that went through that process is also here now, and Hans’ “Forbidden Knowledge” contains all kinds of information that even the Bundchenhoe did not know.

And decisively…

bumbling—

Harley, who suddenly appeared from the other side of the cave, walked over.

After a while, the cooldown has passed and the cast can be used once again.

All kinds of subspace magic tools, such as a large backpack and crossbody bag, necklaces and bracelets draped over Harley’s body.

It contained numerous materials obtained from Tarak.

[There is a perfect specimen here.]

Even if there is a problem during the experiment, it can endure with the tough vitality through 「adaptation」 and 「super recovery」, and cooperates unconditionally in any harsh experiment and never goes crazy.

Since the experimenter and the subject are mentally connected, even subtle changes in the subject’s body can be immediately grasped and reflected in the experiment…

‘You don’t have to make generalized results. It doesn’t matter as long as it can only be used for Harley.’

It was also very pleasant to be able to snatch the results of their research and use them first.

[Well then, shall we start?]

Thus, Hans and Harley began collaborating as researchers and subjects.

***

The Great Hall of Roselia on a sunny afternoon.

“It is the sword and shield that protects .

In a chapel there, a paladin ordination ceremony was held in which Heinrich participated.

In the process, he also received the surname ‘Landguard’ from the church, and now became ‘Sir Heinrich Landguard’.

The beautiful sunlight breaking through the colorful stained glass, the benevolent atmosphere of the solemn chapel.

Even the Archbishop, who puts a holy mark on his neck with a benevolent smile.

It was a sacred scene, as if painted in a painting.

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

Until a random system window blinds my eyes.

“Well? Oh oh-! It is a blessing! Blessings at the inauguration ceremony! The Lord is watching over you!”

The divine power that instantly radiated from Heinrich’s body.

The archbishop, who had given him the holy mark on his knees, saw it and exclaimed with exclamation.

Then he looked up to the sky, closed his eyes, and began to pray.

Naturally, other people who had been observing the ceremony also joined in, and the table quickly grew and a sudden prayer meeting was held.

Except for me.

‘…when will I wake up?’

It’s good to be appointed as a paladin and it’s good to receive a new blessing, but I don’t know how to react because the order of the ceremony is off.

However, I noticed that I was still standing still, so I secretly held my two hands together and took a prayer posture.

“…the Lord searches the earth and guides the poor…”

And with the background of the prayer led by the Archbishop, I organized my thoughts.

Because there was one very special thing about this blessing.

‘It was only for a short time, but I definitely felt the will of the Lord.’

It is surprising that the Lord gave blessings directly to him in time for the inauguration ceremony, and he was instantly connected with the Lord, just like when he was baptized for the first time.

It was a much shorter moment than then.

Thanks to that, he could see that Ju-Jin was still interested in him.

‘Why? Because I came from another world? It’s not just out of curiosity. I never felt that kind of human emotion.’

In fact, ‘interest’ was nothing more than an arbitrary interpretation of what I felt.

That huge will was to the point where just touching the fragment was enough to make it far away.

＜object information＞

-Object Name: Heinrich

-Common Attributes: 「Mind Hub」, 「Persona」, 「Super Recovery」, 「Myeonggyeong Index」

-Individual Characteristics: 「Divine Baptism」, 「Blessing: Rigid Body」, 「Blessing: Leap」, 「Invincible」, 「Crusader Combat Skills」, 「Auterica Sacred Law」

-Speciality: The divine power is continuously growing beyond the high priest level. I was able to skillfully use a variety of s*xual methods. Under the influence of the blessing, his body became stronger and he was able to jump over space.

By the way···.

I was distracted by the will of the Lord and realized the effect late, but the newly acquired blessing was unusual.

‘Oh, wait! beyond space? It’s a space movement technique, this!’

I still don’t know how many times a day it can be used or what the distance limits are.

Isn’t space movement itself a superlative ability?

It was also possible to develop his abilities through training, so it was a necessary ability for Heinrich considering his future work.

‘You’re giving this kind of ability as a gift. After all, isn’t it just God? There was a reason the Continental people followed him!’

It was a quick change of attitude.

How to show the attitude as much as you received, Heinrich corrected the posture he was holding in the form and sincerely prayed to the Lord.

Filled with the desire to give something more.

And that moment.

The Archbishop, who opened his eyes to finish slowly, smiled with a happy smile when he saw Heinrich’s passionate prayer filled with aspirations.

‘Heh heh, what a faithful young man. He also has outstanding abilities, so he is a talented person who will become a pillar of our denomination.’

The paladin ceremony was so successful that everyone was satisfied.
