My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness Chapter 425

Masquerade (3)

“Ugh… I don’t think I’ll be expelled if I keep doing this… ”

Ken, who crawled out of the ruins of the broken wall completely injured, sighed.

The endless power that had already filled my entire body had disappeared again.

‘If I overdo it, I might be able to hold out a little longer.’

There was no need to be reckless in a situation where the body was rapidly falling apart as time passed.

Because there is no reason to do that anymore.

“Whew, but they are really members of the Masquerade?”

As he was shaking off the dust from his body, his gaze turned to the core of a storm that had broken out in the distance.

Four figures suddenly burst through the space.

They were clearly the reinforcements, as they wore unique outfits without any sense of unity.

Sent to me by my employer who told me to hold on just a little longer!

“But… I didn’t know that the reinforcements would be at that level.”

The number itself could not be said to be that large.

However, if you look at the level, you can see how ridiculous it is to have that much power gathered in one place.

‘Just like the executioner, there are three opponents I can’t properly judge… and the other one is stronger than me.’

All of those monsters belong to one organization and are moving around.

What on earth does this secret organization called Masquerade do?

To be honest, I was confident that they would accept it even if they were secretly plotting world domination.

Wouldn’t the employer who summoned him from the demon world right now be capable of looking into information from all over the world while sitting down?

As Ken, who happened to be a new member of the organization against his will, he couldn’t help but be very concerned.

‘Besides, he’s a saint? Surely he’s not the saint of Outerica I know… ?’

Is it because he is the devil?

I couldn’t help but be more concerned about the being that spread deep divine power with a brilliant halo than other people, including the masked vampire.

I’m sure he won’t point a knife to purify himself for being on the same side.

“Kahahaha! “Don’t leave anything behind, just take it!”

At that time, the sound of loud laughter coming from the scene where the momentum was at its peak rang into his ears.

A shock wave followed by a loud explosion.

Ken, who turned his body to relieve the problem, frowned.

‘… That laughter sounds very familiar.’

It wasn’t just laughter.

Only the voice was different, but the way they spoke was so familiar that it felt like déjà vu.

It reminded him of his three-headed friend who went on a life-threatening adventure with him not long ago.

‘… I guess it’s my mood, right?’

Ken, who was staring at the bulky, muscular man who was punching with all his might, nodded slightly.

Yeah, it’s probably just my mood.

There’s no way that a cute puppy with fluffy fur could be such an ugly savage.

Ken, who had lived in the demon world for about twenty years and had become completely immersed in the sensibilities of the demon race, turned his gaze.

I suddenly received Areum’s gift of a large loaf of bread.

To the place where the demon who was fighting with him a little while ago was.

***

Four avatars dispatched under the name Masquerade.

There was a reason for sending such excessive force.

From the beginning, this was a stage prepared by Beoncheonhoe thinking it was a trap.

Rather than sending it to the right force for no reason and then getting it wrong because of the secret tactic they pulled out, they decided that it would be better to throw in all the effort they had so that no matter what they did, it would be useless.

‘They are already active on Earth to some extent and their existence has been vaguely revealed.’

It seemed like a suitable place had been prepared, and there was a need to show off our power to some extent.

Doing so will also be advantageous in completely absorbing the ‘Burning Torch’.

‘…Now that it’s almost disintegrated after losing its leader, it’s starting to look a little like a scum.’

Anyway, it’s better than nothing.

In order to continue global activities against Beoncheonhoe, the existence of a force was essential.

The number of organization members is considerable, and there are even transcendentalists, so once they are collected, there will be something to use them for.

“Hmm?”

One of the avatars sent like that.

Harley, a demon hunter who was a model mercenary who crossed all dimensions and intervened wherever trouble occurred, and who had already dealt with demons several times, tilted her head.

That’s the nature of the entity, so it’s good to have a good excuse to beat the bread without hesitation…

[Huh, it’s very hard. No, it’s not just that, is it? What the hell are you doing? Are they even creatures in the first place?]

Why are there finger-sized holes on their shoulders?

If I hadn’t followed my instinctive intuition and turned my body, there would have been a hole in my heart instead of my shoulder.

Of course, injuries of this magnitude were not a big deal to Harley, but the problem was that even after suffering them herself, she could not properly understand when and how the attack came.

“Well, this is the first time something like this has happened. “Not only did you deceive my senses and evade me, but you even counterattacked?”

[That’s what this side will say. How could it be that he avoided fatal wounds in that moment and only suffered minor injuries? It’s really great!]

“Huh? Fatal wound? wound?”

At the other person’s words, Harley, who had heightened her senses to the extreme by activating not only “Biological Aura” and “Imprint of the Battle King” but also “Gwangje Judgment (?)”, blinked.

Of course, the hole carved into his shoulder had already disappeared.

[……? What? The wounds from my attack regenerated so quickly?]

Even the blood that flowed was completely absorbed, leaving no trace.

Even the executioner could not help but be embarrassed by the sight.

Of course, among the game that had been dealt with so far, it was rare to find one that did not have regenerative abilities.

As I said, there was even a monster among them that would instantly restore itself to its original state even if only the smallest piece of flesh remained.

‘But even those guys were helpless against my attacks.’

It was the same even if it was an opponent of the same level as you and you couldn’t crush it ‘right’.

That was the privilege that allowed him to challenge the Goddess, an immortal being he had acquired while ascending to the position of Great Devil in the other world.

But to hear that it’s so fine…

“Wow, I’m just barely able to stomach that. This has the worst fuel economy, right? “It would be a problem if I lost muscle like this.”

The corner of the executioner’s mouth twitched at the grumbling voice of the other person.

At the same time, fighting spirit crept up above my panicked mind.

The flame-like energy that arose throughout his body instantly began to consume all directions.

[Hehehe… Yes, that should be enough. Good, very good!]

This fight was exactly what he had wanted in the first place.

A fierce struggle where lives, souls, and beliefs collide using all the power one has.

Normally, he refrained from using his unique skills as much as possible and mainly used only the power he had accumulated as a devil.

Although it was used as a mockery and warning to the opponent who had just made a surprise attack, it was not used with a serious intention to threaten his life.

The reason was simple.

[Puh-ha-ha! That’s right, if you do this, you don’t have to worry about it ending in a trivial way!]

So far, there was no one other than Buncheonhoeju who could deal with him who even used his unique skills.

On the contrary, he was even elated at the fact that an opponent who could mobilize all his abilities had appeared.

Next moment.

The figure of the executioner, who was bursting out laughing with the force of an active volcano, disappeared.

And at the same time.

“Huh?”

Poop!

Harley reflexively twisted her body, cracking her chest and blood spurting out.

As the “ultimate evolved life form,” four deep scars are carved on the body that would not be scratched even at the heart of a nuclear bomb.

It didn’t end there.

Crackling— wow! Crack!

The hard skin is torn away by the destructive energy that burns like fire.

Tough muscles were torn by a grip that distorted even space.

My finger was cut off by something sharp, and my wrist was broken before I could regenerate it.

[Ohh? Even this? Then how about this! Avoid this too. Now, now!]

“Queu! “This guy, I’m the only one who’s really excited about this, right?”

Even as all these events passed by like a storm, Harley couldn’t even properly evade the attack, let alone counterattack…

Still, there was some harvest.

As I repeatedly rolled over and hit myself with my senses maximized, I was finally able to clearly understand what I was being hit with.

‘This can’t be right.’

Of course, that was also thanks to the other avatars who were able to observe the situation from a third party’s perspective.

Heinz II’s eyebrows twitched as he used “Insight” to analyze the distortion of cause and effect that occurred around him.

The same was true for Harris, who used all his nature skills, including “Observer of the Milky Way,” to read the atmospheric flow.

“…time stop?”

Heinrich frowned and muttered softly.

As I was reborn as a higher-level being called an angel, I sensed something unnatural in the world through my opened eyes.

The only exception that moves freely in a world where everything is frozen in time that cannot be properly perceived.

The being stopped moving and touched Harley’s blood on its fingertips.

[her! This is truly amazing. Did he react at the moment when the attack hit his body?]

Of course, Harley’s level was not that low, so her abilities were not perfect.

The ‘time stop’ activated by the executioner did not work properly for the split second the attack hit his body.

‘But it’ll be hard to catch him with that alone.’

Only then did I understand why he was so relaxed.

It was useful in battle, and if I used that ability in a dangerous moment, I could safely escape at any time, so it was natural that I did not feel a sense of danger.

“Tsk, fighting is boring? Compared to what he said, what he did seemed very calm…”

[I guess I got too excited. I hope you understand. After returning to Earth, Hoeju is the only one that can receive my power. I’ve been a little frustrated all this time. It has become difficult to meet those who have potential as the owner of the group forbids fights between members.]

Well, if he had grown to that level in this world, the amount of karma he would have received would have been enormous.

As you can see just by looking at your “avatar,” aren’t unique skills a special ability with infinite potential?

If it acquired divinity and reached the realm of power…

‘Anyway, thanks to you, I got one more piece of information. Anyway, there are more potential ones out there, right?’

The fact that they were able to respond to attacks made while time was frozen was enough to guess that they were not at an average level.

You will have to find out more details step by step in the future.

As he was thinking that, the executioner, who looked around at the avatars who were watching from behind before the search that started and ended in an instant, opened his mouth casually.

[After everyone has rested, let’s get started in earnest. Hmm, it seems a bit difficult to deal with them all at once, but… it doesn’t matter. Because an opportunity like this will never come again. It would be a good experience to push yourself to the limit and find out your limits!]

The executioner is so confident that he even assumes a joint attack and prepares for the battle to follow.

As I looked at that attitude, my stomach began to twist.

It was fully acknowledged that this guy’s abilities were great, but isn’t that and looking down on oneself an entirely different problem?

‘Of course, I thought so from the beginning!’

The common name ‘Daguri’, a joint attack by the majority against the minority, was an excellent tactic proven by history and tradition.

Considering its efficiency, the idea that it is better to actively utilize it when conditions allow for its use has not changed.

But…

‘… now that I think about it, like he said, this is all experience, right? It’s not easy to meet an opponent at that level and with such dangerous abilities.’

If you gain something from the process, it doesn’t matter if you change your plan a little.

His true opponent was Ventian Huaiju, who was much stronger than him.

In other words, now is the time to gain experience and level up, not the time to easily move on to the next stage.

‘Various experiences are also one of the great values that can be gained through battle. … There are a lot of eyes watching, but the spirit is not in good shape.’

decided.

First of all, I decided to try Harley on my own until I got hit somehow.

Push-ik-kigi-gi-gi-gi-gi-gi-!

As he slowly stepped forward, his body gradually heated up and hot steam began to rise.

A metallic sound like twisting iron resonates along with it.

His body had suddenly grown to the point where he could look down on his opponent.

“Sniff! That’s it, let’s get it right this time! “I feel like I’ve finally relaxed a bit!”

[hmm? Are you planning to fight alone? Well, it doesn’t matter to me.]

The executioner’s gaze glanced at Harley, who was approaching alone with long strides, and then moved to where the other avatars were.

Even though he said that, he seems quite concerned.

Of course, to Harley, it just felt like he was looking at her in a funny way.

“Puhuh… Brother, should I tell you one truth about life?”

A dark red energy surged from his body.

A foreign energy that is not a vital force or aura, and seems to contaminate the being just by coming into close contact with it.

So far, it has been suppressed to the fullest extent through all kinds of control measures.

The pure abyss of ‘madness’ that was pulled out as if squeezing out the ‘seeds of madness’ began to encroach little by little on the surroundings.

“There’s nothing more embarrassing than when you’re confident and get robbed!”

Kwaang—!

Harley’s massive body rushed to the front in an instant.

[This story has nothing to do with me.]

At the same time, the executioner activated his unique skill.

————!

The world began to slowly slow down, like a slow video.

And when everything finally stopped.

The only moving being in this stationary world was the ‘Great Devil of Eternity’.

‘Hmm, if I didn’t have a unique skill, it would have been difficult to win in a head-on fight. This terrible body that deviates from logic is the source of its divinity, right?’

Before he knew it, a monster wearing a beast mask was right in front of him, but he didn’t even blink.

Because in the current situation, there was nothing the other person could do to harm themselves.

‘I admit it’s great. But in terms of compatibility, that alone can never defeat me.’

To be honest, it was his first time dealing with such an absurd body.

Even after being exposed to an attack that tears apart the space itself, it only ends up causing a few injuries.

How strong is the density that constitutes an alternative being and how strong is its resistance to external interference? How could that be possible?

Even at least it didn’t take long for it to start playing.

Even though I did my best to attack, it was only at the level of blowing off my wrist, so even if I could attack unilaterally, I had no idea how much more I would have to hit to inflict more damage than my regenerative power.

‘But to me, time is just an infinite resource. If you keep hitting it, it will break someday.’

Fiery energy bloomed from the executioner’s grasp.

Managing energy in a static world was quite a burden for him, but it was something that could not be helped.

If you don’t do this, you won’t even be able to make a proper wound.

It was then that something strange happened.

The moment I completed all attack preparations and approached the giant stuffed in the air.

The corners of his eyes twitched as he witnessed something.

‘under?’

The eye holes of a large lion mask that covers the entire head.

A pair of eyes with red and green light shining between them.

It was staring straight at him.

‘how?!’

With a deep smile in the eyes that are slightly bent upward.
