My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant

imprint (3)

It was the second day since the two giants visited.

Whoops—

“Whoa….”

The old woman sip hot tea and leaned against the back of the chair.

After meeting the warriors of the south after a long time and preparing to engrave an engraving, my feelings were renewed.

In fact, it was questionable whether one of them was really a Southerner, but she wouldn’t need to worry about that.

Because everyone has their own circumstances.

Isn’t it the same with himself?

‘Maraki….’

It has been more than ten years since I left the South and settled here with my only son.

The son, who was a promising warrior, made a name for himself as a mercenary, and was well established in the city.

But one day ten years ago.

The son, who headed to the northern mountains as usual, never returned…

Since then, she has been staying here alone.

‘I just wanted to live here quietly and die.’

Although he was unable to leave Tarak because of regrets, he had no will to live anymore because he had lived enough to live.

Also, since it’s in a remote residential area within the city, I’ve never met people from the east…

“Grandma! We are here!”

“hahahaha—! I brought meat to replenish the old man’s energy! Let’s eat well and be strong!”

A loud noise was heard from outside.

The old woman grinned and got up from her seat and headed towards the door.

It was a relationship with the young warriors who came unexpectedly, but I didn’t really hate it.

.

“Meat is stinky. I have weak teeth, so it’s hard to chew.”

She was grumbling and complaining for a bit, but there was a small smile on her lips.

***

After the meat party was over, preparations for the engraving began.

Considering the health of the old woman’s teeth, she prepared as much tender meat as possible, but she ate more than expected.

‘Most southerners say that they are meat eaters…’

No matter how old he was, the blood of southerners didn’t seem to go anywhere.

“Bitter— It’s been a long time since I ate meat, so I’m feeling a little bit better. The meat is soft and seems to be quite luxurious. Day after day…”

“Ha ha ha! I was chosen with special care to ask you to take care of me today.”

“Don’t worry, man. Even if you look at his sincerity, he will take care of me.”

All sorts of bizarre items were prepared, including needles made from grinding monster bones, magic tools, and an unidentified liquid made by mixing ogre blood with chemicals.

“You are lying on this side…. It’s getting in the way of my concentration, so you’d better get out there furry. If anyone comes for treatment, they tell me to come back after half a day.”

“Don’t worry, ma’am. I’ll tell you well and I’ll send it back.”

The furry nodded confidently and headed out the door.

“Ahh… me, me. I don’t know if it’s just that I’m just intimidating the locals and kicking them out.”

The old woman with a light tongue shook her head and turned her gaze to Harley, who was lying on the workbench.

“Huh. He’s got a really big body. It will be a formidable task.”

It was an engraving that had to be engraved in a fixed proportion at a fixed location.

The bigger the body, the larger the area, so more materials were needed and the shaman had no choice but to suffer more.

Of course, the effect of the engraving is stronger that much, so the warriors preferred to grow in size.

“For me, it’s the first time I’ve ever written a Daejeon history without a warrior. Knock-knock…”

The position where the two inscriptions were engraved was the same.

It is because the ‘Great Warrior’s Imprint’ was added more complicatedly on top of the ‘Warrior’s Imprint’, which starts from the heart and runs up to the neck.

“Then we’ll start, so hold on tight.”

“Yes? You don’t need it, old man. Just start right away!”

“A few days… it must be quite painful, isn’t it? Why don’t you just ask me now so you won’t regret it later?”

“Hot hahaha! It’s just useless worry. Pain is nothing to a true warrior!”

Pain had no meaning to him in the first place, so he politely refused the piece of wood offered by the old woman.

Having said that, she immediately started the engraving procedure without recommending any further.

“Whoa….”

With a small sigh, the engraving on the old woman’s face began to glow softly.

It was a ‘shaman’s imprint’ that he had engraved while studying with his master.

The bone needle in her hand was immersed in the dark red liquid, and then came out.

And just as it is, stuck in Harley’s heart…

“Ugh?”

The needle still rested on his pectoral muscle, not even in the slightest.

“This guy, his skin is so hard that the needle doesn’t get stuck!”

“what?”

It was an unexpected challenge.

His monster-like body was no longer damaged by attacks that did not contain more than a certain amount of energy…

As he panicked, the old woman clicked her tongue and rolled up her arms.

“done! I’ll take care of it, just lie down. Aww… if it wasn’t for the meat, I would have been completely out of breath!”

And the old woman’s engraving began to shine more strongly, and a whitish energy was overlaid on the bone needles.

several hours thereafter.

The operation was carried out quietly without any special events.

***

《The entity has achieved Enlightenment by fulfilling the condition. Acquire the skill “Chalcos-style battle engraving”.

The moment the last needle pierced under his chin, vitality surged throughout his body.

And Harley could quickly figure out what had happened.

Part of the vital force that had been dormant in his muscles and bones was sucked into the completed engraving, activating all his physical abilities at once.

‘Is that great? It’s much more effective than strengthening it using “Bio Auror”.’

If you add an Auror to the engraving…

Harley, who had to act immediately after thinking of it, to release her personality, immediately went into action.

The ‘engraving of a great warrior’, a colorful flame pattern engraved on the chest, gradually turned red and began to blaze as if it were really burning.

and···.

“ooh—!”

A faint haze rose from his whole body.

As he clenched his fists, a shrill squeaking sound escaped.

‘Is this enough to be able to beat an ogre with bare hands without using 「Flesh mutation」?’

Harley, who was ecstatic, immediately came to her senses and looked back at the old woman.

As soon as the procedure was finished, she sat down on the spot, panting for breath.

“…it’s like a poisonous guy. I’m sure you won’t make a single moan. Did your pain even paralyze you?”

“Old man, are you okay?”

“It’s just that I’m tired of using too much energy. It’s been over ten years since I’ve had engraving, so I’m suddenly overworked and got a problem.”

Seeing that sweaty face with a pale face made Harley feel uncomfortable.

He wasn’t too young, but he seemed to have used a lot of force to pierce through his solid body.

‘In a situation where there are still many engravings to be engraved, it is difficult if this is already the case…’

I was convinced that I couldn’t leave her like this.

It was necessary to eat three meals a day of meat and healthy foods that are good for the body, and to improve physical strength through regular exercise and stress management.

“Old man…”

“I need to get some rest now, so go away. I’m going to go to the goal like this.”

The old woman staggered and collapsed onto the bed.

I guess I’ll have to look at the opportunity later and talk about it.

I put the pocket of the remaining balance on the workbench and went outside, and I saw a furry hairy guy sitting on a chair outside and dozing off.

“Hey, Turaba!”

“Uh-huh? Harley? Are you done?”

Rubbing his eyes at Harley’s call, he stood up and looked back at him, and his eyes widened.

“Oh, oh-! That is the mark of the great warrior!”

“Huhahaha!”

The southern warrior looked at Harley with admiration and longing eyes.

Instead of the monotonous flame pattern of the warriors, a splendid and lively flaming flame stretched from the chest to the neck, and was exposed through the naked upper body.

‘ah! I see!’

And Harley realized.

Why did previous generations of Southern warriors insist on wearing this outfit?

‘It wasn’t just muscles, he was trying to show off his imprint!’

It was the result of a complex application of regional, ecological, and cultural factors, but for Harley today, such factors were not considered.

As I set out on the road with my shoulders outstretched and timid steps, I could feel more envy than before in the eyes of those around me, perhaps because of my mood.

“Turava, the engraving is so effective, why do only Southern warriors use it? I don’t think the tech security is that tight.”

As long as a shaman with skills can leave the South at will, he can steal the skills whenever he wants.

But in the meantime, I’ve never seen people from other regions use the engraving.

“Well, because of the side effects. Because the conditions are difficult in many ways. More than anything else, it is the constant sucking of life force.”

The vitality that is continuously sucked from the moment it is engraved.

Of course, the reinforcement effect was better than that, but the range that each person could handle was different.

“Because Southerners are born with strong vitality. That’s the way it works for us.”

People from other regions say that it is more effective to train the Auror intensively and strengthen the body when necessary.

That’s why southern warriors are a little weak at dealing with Aurors…

“Right. Well, it doesn’t really matter to me, now a full-fledged Daejeon warrior in the South! Whoa-ha-ha-!”

“That’s right! My friend is Daejeonsa! Cheeky!”

“Pahahahaha!”

“Hey heh heh!”

The laughter of the two men echoed through the alleyway.

Of course, no one complained about their appearance.

***

“oh! Sir Heinrich! Is it okay to wake up already?”

“Ahahaha, as long as you walk lightly, that’s fine. In fact, it could have happened before, but the healer in charge was very strict.”

“But… wouldn’t it be better to be careful until you are completely healed?”

Heinrich having a pleasant conversation with the saint who seems worried.

His condition has improved a lot and he is now allowed to go out of the treatment room.

By the way, today was also an important day, so you can say that the timing was right.

“Today is the day the Elven Kingdom delegation leaves. Since we have a relationship in the past, shouldn’t we have to see off him?”

After many twists and turns, the elf delegation finally returned to their home country.

Heinrich also had a lot of ties with their leader, Lafori, so it was good to reflect his face last.

If we break up like this, it will be difficult to see each other again.

‘In the first place, it was an unusual case that a high elf personally led an envoy.’

Since they were in a position to lead a race, they would never leave the side of the World Tree unless it was a special case like this one.

So while they were having a conversation in front of the gate, the elf delegation entered with the guidance of the priest.

In addition to Lapori and the delegation, there were two more people in the party.

The high elf candidate Cecily and… the elves who were introduced by Harley, even Harris.

“Sir Heinrich. I heard you were seriously injured, is it okay to come out like this?”

“Oh, it’s really good. Lapori.”

Farewell greetings from the denomination side and the delegation went back and forth from various places.

There were a lot of people who became close enough that they stayed for quite some time, so it took quite some time, but the moment when they really had to part came.

woo woo-

“Then we will see. I will never forget the kindness you have shown me in the past.”

“I hope that the two sides will maintain a good relationship in the future. Well then, bye…”

After saying goodbye to Saint Riesta and Lafori, the elf delegation disappeared into the blue vortex of the gate.

Now they will migrate to the eastern tip of the continent over several days, from there they will use their own means to cross over to the Enamel Continent.

with Harris.

My heart was pounding like an explorer with a new continent in front of me.
