My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant

chapter 14



Ajantu (2)

Heinz said what he had guessed and said he wasn’t sure, but Diana couldn’t help but turn pale when she heard the story.

“Well, they are an organization called ‘Barcolak’ that manages this street. But, why did I pay the arrears on time?”

Even as he said that, Diana thought in her heart that what he was saying was true.

Because there were facts that I learned while growing up in this city.

“This city . . . is ruled by vampires.”

“vampire?”

Of course, no one knew about it.

Most of the citizens, of course, even the gang members who control the streets are probably not aware of them.

Knowing it would only make it dangerous, so Diana hadn’t said it until now.

“Most organizations, including Barkolak, are under the control of vampires. We do what they tell us to do and we take care of our citizens.”

The reason Diana found out about it was simple.

Because she has a very nice nose.

To the extent that it reaches the realm of ability.

‘I was careful while deliberately avoiding places with a strong smell of blood!’

It was not just a physical smell, but it could smell the smell of a dangerous place or a person’s soul.

With that power, he and Aaron acted cautiously, but this time it seemed as if they had fallen under their magic.

“Then I think it’s a bit of a dangerous situation right now. Has this happened before?”

“…I’ve been through it a few times before. The smell of people who suddenly disappeared because they didn’t pay their dues, they smell of blood.”

When I first didn’t know about his abilities, then I thought he was just a scary person.

It was because the uncles who had been in one place in the organization were busy crawling.

However, as her head grew bigger, she thought more, and seeing and listening to various things, Diana realized.

“This city is their farm. Having their own order means managing their food so that it doesn’t spoil.”

As long as the payment is made on time, there is no harm, and even though it is a back alley, there is no drug distribution.

It was possible to cure a disease if only the cost of the drug could be paid.

“Have you ever thought of leaving for another city?”

“At first, I tried to leave the city even if it was too much. However···.”

There were quite a few people who had left the city earlier, but Diana knew it.

I don’t know if any of them have ever really made it to another city.

“I saw the gang the next day carrying what they had taken when they left. You might think it’s just the same thing, but I know.”

Because I could tell who the original owner of those objects was through the smell.

And needless to say what happened to them.

From then on, he gave up on leaving the city, moved to a road where vampires did not go, and acted cautiously, avoiding dangerous places.

“As long as you’re in the city, you can get drunk at any time, so they graze, but if you try to escape, you’re just slaughtered…”

Heinz grimaced and frowned.

“Let’s get moving. I don’t know why I chose Aaron as a target even though I paid the premium, but if it’s true, I won’t have much time. Do you know where they are based?”

“yes! I know. But… is your uncle helping you too?”

Diana bit her lip and looked up at Heinz.

Now that you know the whole situation here, you must have fully realized how dangerous the situation is now.

He wasn’t even a resident of the city, so he wouldn’t have any problems getting out of the city right now.

But Heinz grinned and ruffled Diana’s head.

Because he had nothing to fear in this world.

“Did you say? As long as I know, I won’t pretend I don’t know. I’m a player when it comes to f*cking bad guys. Trust only this ‘brother’!”

Heinz emphasized the word “brother” in particular.

It was a sensitive issue for the now twenty-year-old.

***

A small town with nothing but ashes left.

In a place full of ruins, nothing was left intact.

“Hmm, the smell of black magic is vibrating, what the hell happened?”

The pale-looking man blocked the scattered ashes from coming nearby, and looked around the village, looking at the few remaining traces.

The places where the buildings used to be and the faint traces of the battle left on the ground.

“Is this… corpses? Did you put on makeup together?”

They also found a place where the bodies appear to have been cremated.

Most of it had already turned into ashes, leaving no trace, but it was no problem to the man.

‘There is no trace of power other than black magic used throughout the village, and it is also certain that there was a collision using the undead, but they cremated the corpses and left?’

When I first looked at the traces, I thought that there must have been a conflict between the ‘Oath of Yeokcheon’.

The things they had were enough to make them greedy, so it wasn’t unreasonable.

“I don’t know. what happened. Anyway, it’s unfortunate.”

When I thought that the fragment of the Immortal King had matured properly, I was preparing to take it, but it had already disappeared without a trace.

“I don’t know who hit the player, but we’ll get it right away. It’s not something you can hide so easily.”

The man turned his eyes to the place where the last trace continued.

The movement of the undead towards the eastern forest.

‘It’s just the right direction. Is luck with you?’

Then, after looking around the village for a while, the man’s whole body turned into a bat and scattered, then disappeared into the eastern forest.

***

I went with Diana to Barkolak’s stronghold.

Before Aaron was handed over to the vampires, he had to get them back.

Even if it was Hans, it was unreasonable to fight against the vampires with Heinz.

‘Because it seems like it’s going to be something ordinary members of the organization.’

With the strength of the body strengthened while awakening, continuous training, and the power of “super recovery”, it is possible that ordinary members of the organization can defeat it.

In order to synchronize the enhancement of the physical abilities of the Karma Shop to the avatar, a re-summoning process was required.

‘There is no way I can afford that now. I can’t even get help from Hans right now.’

There are 3 days left until the time when Baeongjin can be used.

Heinz had to do something with his own power.

I took the lead and looked at Diana, who was leading the way.

I clenched my trembling hand to see if I was worried about my brother, and while hurriedly hurried to my steps, I used that sense of smell to select and move to a place where there were no people.

We didn’t know what was going to happen in the future, but we couldn’t reveal our track record.

‘Such a young child is trying desperately to protect his family, and I can’t get him out of here.’

Diana must have lived for her younger sister, taking that responsibility as the driving force of her life.

A small hope of life that I kept without missing out even though I was weighed down by the weight of reality.

But now, that hope was about to be shattered.

‘Yes, I have nothing to lose, so let’s do as much as we can. <Mission: Help the unfortunate girl find her younger sister.> The reward is… random.’

For me, this was kind of a quest.

And Korean gamers never give up on quests in the middle.

As I was making up my mind like that, Diana, who was in front of me, suddenly stopped on the spot and started sniffing.

“ah! I started to feel Aaron’s smell. I think it’s also in Barcolak’s stronghold.”

“This made it clear. It’s a pity that the bad speculation came true, but the good news is that it hasn’t been passed on to the vampires yet.”

Following Diana who started running again, she prepared for battle.

“Uncle… can we really save Aaron?”

Diana whispered in an anxious voice.

I can only see the back of the head, so I can’t tell the expression on his face, but it wouldn’t be that good.

“Yes, trust me, I will save you soon.”

In fact, not all problems were solved just by looking for them there.

In fact, I think that’s when it really started.

Because this city was under the control of vampires, and those who kidnapped were only their minions.

‘Think about that then, let’s put out the fire first!’

As it was getting dark, we could soon reach Barkolak’s stronghold.

A small two-story building located inside an alleyway.

‘There are no guards standing.’

After all, all the organizations in the back alley were under the control of a vampire, and there was no way they could be vigilant among themselves.

“Do you know how many people are inside?”

“Sniff, roughly fifteen? Even though it’s a base, it’s kind of like an office. I know that they usually live scattered all over the streets.”

Closing her eyes and sniffing, she nodded at Diana’s answer.

Fifteen was enough.

“I’m going to go in and bring Aaron out, so you stay a little farther away.”

“…I know it’s ignorant, but. Please, sir.”

Diana bit her lip, nodding her head, and stepped back, knowing she would only get in the way if she wore it.

‘Now, let’s go inside.’

There is a scenario that I have a rough idea of, and I have some preparations.

All that’s left is a skill exercise and a bit of luck after that.

‘And lately my luck is at its peak!’

I carefully opened the door and entered.

The first floor was like a bar, but it was quite neat, not like the stronghold of a back alley organization.

‘I was thinking of gang members who gambled and gambled in a mess inside, full of cigarette smoke.’

Well, there are vampires who visit occasionally, so it must have been taken care of.

Still, there were people who gathered together to drink and gamble.

“what? Who is it?”

“There, brother, come to work when you say nice things.”

When they found me, they chatted with each other and motioned towards me.

I approached them meekly.

“uh? Is this gentleman the friend you saw before?”

“what? Do you know anyone?”

Some of them had met on the street a while ago and had received a donation from me.

“Brother, what are you doing here? Is it because I think the sincerity I gave you earlier is lacking?”

They giggled among themselves, then got up from their seats and smiled softly at the large figure approaching me.

“What? Smile? What’s wrong with this gentleman… Whoops!”

Then he immediately took out a dagger and shoved it into the nape of his neck, and at the same time he pulled it out, he ran towards those who had not yet responded.

“What, what is that bastard!”

“I know where this is! Kill it!”

His body moved quickly, but he responded to the enemy’s movements with a calm mind through 「Myeonggyeongjisu」.

With one hand, he put the dagger into the temple of the man who was about to get up, and with the other hand he drew the sword from his waist.

A sword used by the Warlock’s minions, he was not used to using it, but in the current situation, he had no choice but to use it.

‘I don’t have the skills to aim at the vital points at once, so I’ll try to inflict an immobile wound as much as possible!’

He swung his sword and cut off his opponent’s leg.

Instead, he cut his arm, but the wound was not deep, perhaps thanks to his “strength”.

Even so, he recovered quickly with “super recovery”.

“Wow, this guy doesn’t have a knife!”

He was stabbed in the stomach, but under his clothes he was wearing a global sword-proof suit.

Ignoring the pain with the “mind hub”, I cut the neck of the man who stopped to stab me with a dagger.

Whoops-!

Bottles and utensils were broken, and the inside was a mess.

I calmly moved my body to neutralize them one by one.

Kwajik!

In the meantime, the guy with the club aimed at the back of the head, but the impact was not great thanks to the magical tool’s magical barrier that protects the vital points.

“Wow, what the hell is this guy doing, even magic tools… Kek!”

However, the effects of magic tools are not infinite, so we fought while protecting only the vital points as much as possible.

He knocked down one and cut off his leg.

He stabbed another guy and stabbed him in the back, but he ignored it and attacked.

Boo-wook—

stabbed with a knife, but won’t fall out

He immediately took the hatchet of the one he had knocked down and swung it sideways.

He used one arm to block the flying knife aiming for that moment.

limbs became tattered.

As if the magic tool’s effect had ended, blood from the torn forehead covered my eyes.

Then, the gaze of the man in front of me turned to my back.

Movement like eye contact with someone.

Another guy seems to be aiming for the back of my head.

He immediately bowed his back, picked up the weapon that had fallen on the floor, and swung it backwards.

“Aww!”

The guy behind him grabbed his ankle and fell, but the fight wasn’t over yet.

If it wasn’t for “strength” and “super recovery”, I wouldn’t have been able to move long ago.

Without fear of death or excitement about fighting, he mechanically calculated and traded attacks to defeat his enemies.

One, two, three…

…and the last.

“Ugh…”

“Ugh, what are you like this……”

After fighting and fighting like that, all around me was full of people scattered around, and there were even those who came down from the second floor in the commotion.

“Whoa… there’s no one who ran away?”

As the fight continued, he was covered in blood and looked like he was about to fall.

After the momentum had completely subsided, some tried to run away, but by then it was already too late.

Most of the guys who were attacked mainly by the legs from the beginning had low mobility, and those who showed signs of escaping were mostly stalked, and in the end they were able to strike at once.

In the end, there was a limit on the number of times, so I even used a magic tool for self-defense that I cherished until the end…

If it wasn’t for that, I could have missed it, so I couldn’t help it.

“Whew, whoo”

After the battle, I stood for a moment to catch my breath.

The blood stopped bleeding and the wound was slowly healing, but it was so bloody that it didn’t show.

“Hey, where is the boy you caught today?”

“Wow, what is that all of a sudden… aah-!”

Without noticing, I dug up the wounds of the guy who was trying to gossip.

“Underground! In the basement!”

“It will be like that. Don’t you need the key?”

“It’s hanging on the door too! Not now!”

After asking a few more questions, I got up and looked around.

Inside the mess, the gang members collapsed and wriggling and dead bodies that had already stopped breathing.

And picked up the weapon again.

To go according to the scenario I envisioned, there shouldn’t have been any living ones here.

“Come on, wait! help me! Sal…

I started checking kills one by one.

I felt dirty even after using the “Mind Hub,” but I moved my body mechanically, thinking that they were only harmful even if they were alive.

“If I went to the current state, the child would be shocked and passed out…”

I looked around and headed towards the side where the bottles and water bottles were placed.

And first, he took the bottles and poured them over the body, starting with the head, to wash away the blood.

‘The smell of alcohol is better than the smell of blood.’

After some blood had drained, he grabbed the bucket of water and poured it over his head once more.

‘This is enough to take a look.’

His clothes were rags and there were bloodstains, but it was much better than before.

And I walked towards the door leading to the basement.
