My Alter Ego’S Path To Greatness Chapter 428

Masquerade (6)

The crack that suddenly appeared spread throughout the space in an instant.

“…What is this?”

Immediately after that, Burning Torch Executive Malfi, the original builder of this isolated area, let out a sigh as if he had noticed something.

“Malfi? “What happened all of a sudden?”

“The space blockade has been lifted… no, this is not just that…!”

Ahn hugs the still unconscious Fuhrer and asks him a puzzled question, and Malfi hurriedly checks the surroundings without even turning to look at her.

But before there was even time to do anything, the incident had already begun.

Blah blah blah—

The cracks slowly widened and the outside scenery was revealed little by little.

A dark night sky with twinkling stars and a panoramic view of a small city with a slightly run-down atmosphere.

The place where Malfi, the center of the ritual, was located before participating in the meeting was a hideout in Thailand, in an area adjacent to Malaysia.

“This space is collapsing!”

The direction of the blockade, which had been firmly held, was suddenly reversed, and what had previously been struggling from the inside in an attempt to escape was now bursting out at once.

Of course, it was no coincidence that the response came only now.

‘The connection with the magic tools used as mediums is being cut off one by one. This, of course…’

could only be explained as external intervention.

Like the antique silk installed on each door as a procedure for entering this place, abnormal signals were being transmitted one after another from devices placed here and there to unite the entire Southeast Asian region.

Blah blah blah blah!

The surrounding landscape is collapsing with no time to do anything as cracks spread like spider webs.

Anyone could not help but be taken aback by this unexpected turn of events, but that did not mean everyone stopped.

[Now!]

As if they had been waiting, the thoughts of Nagaraja, head of the Southeast Asian branch, echoed in the minds of the members of the Buncheonhoe.

Since the announcement had already been made right before it happened, there was no unnecessary detail in the subsequent movements.

And of course, among them was the executioner who was in the midst of a fight with Harley.

“Ugh—no bro! Where are you going in the middle of a fight? “Let’s be like a man and end this right here!”

[Khaat! You’re so persistent that it’s disgusting. No matter how many times it has been torn and destroyed, it shows no signs of dying?]

A vicious-looking demon dumped Harley, who had become tattered as the fight continued, into a mountain of collapsed rubble.

He stuck out his tongue when he saw Harley, who had jumped up again like a roly-poly, wriggled and regenerated her body.

Of course, perhaps because of the excessive damage accumulated, the regeneration speed was noticeably slower than at first, but the process of making it happen was also causing fatigue.

I was confident that if I continued to fight like this, I would definitely finish it off, but considering that the mutant monster wasn’t the only enemy here, it wasn’t a good idea to keep being held back like that.

‘That vampire… he’s the one who hunted that sniveling duke in Europe, right?’

I knew it intuitively.

In the current situation, if this barbarian and that vampire are added, survival cannot be guaranteed no matter how much unique skills are actively used.

Therefore, his movements as he took advantage of the opportunity to retreat from the battlefield did not contain the slightest hesitation.

Because it is possible to satisfy his pseudo-crazy desire to fight at any other time.

“Where are you trying to go in such a hurry? “There are still a lot of things left to prepare, but I guess I’ll have to wait until the party host has already left to use them.”

Of course, the other person did not just leave it alone.

As if he had been waiting for just this moment all along, as a countermeasure to stop time, a monster in an opera mask, with fine blood particles scattered all over the surrounding area, appeared like a ghost and blocked his escape route.

He openly expresses his will to punish him at all costs.

[…Well, can we really stop it?]

But the executioner, who had no intention of fighting them head-on anymore, just twisted his mouth.

Heinz’s face frowned as he faced him with an extremely devilish smile.

“Whatever you do is useless. “We have already taken thorough measures.”

[well? It doesn’t mean I’m doing anything in particular.]

And as soon as the executioner finished saying that.

[You’re here.]

—————!

Heinz and Harley Heinrich Harris.

Several transcendental beings, including the four avatars, hurriedly looked up at the sky.

‘That?!’

The accident accelerated rapidly.

A detailed understanding of the situation and optimal countermeasures were established in an instant.

And he put it into action right after that.

Whoa!

Heinrich, who was rushing to finish off the Buncheonhoe group, turned and soared high into the sky.

As his three pairs of wings flapped, the scattered brilliant light brightened up the entire area, and a large blade of light shot out from the holy sword in his hand.

And right after that.

Kwaaaaang——!

Accompanied by a huge roar, a dazzling flash of light flashed across the pitch-black night sky.

What followed was a huge shock wave that swept all around, creating a storm in the area.

“Wow! It’s a bombing! “It’s a bombing!”

“Aaaah—what’s happening all of a sudden? mom!”

“Close the door! “Quickly close the door!”

In the aftermath, the screams of citizens echoed throughout the city.

Even though I tried to prevent the shock wave from reaching the ground as much as possible, it was still like that.

Heinrich frowned as he felt his arm throbbing as he parried the attack that fell from the sky.

If it had hit the ground directly because you hadn’t blocked it, the damage would have been incomparable to being bombed by a missile.

Probably, among the executives of the Burning Torch that was the target, they were not able to properly identify any bones except for a few who were close to transcendence.

‘…Who on earth would attack something like this…?’

Heinrich recalled the image he vaguely saw right before he parried the attack and assessed the attack just now.

If he wasn’t mistaken, it was clearly…

‘It was an iron stake as long as his forearm.’

Of course, it was no ordinary stake.

Because it could be said to be a proper magic tool that exuded a force that seemed unusual even at first glance.

In fact, it can be considered an ultra-small missile.

But there was no time to think about it in detail.

‘It comes again. And this time in succession…!’

As if the first attack was merely a zero point, then unidentified attacks rained down like a carpet bombing.

Squirt—

Heinrich’s senses were magnified.

I was so embarrassed earlier that I didn’t have time to look closely, but as I looked at it like this, I began to see information that I had missed before.

‘Speed conversion, trajectory analysis, ability flow tracking…. It didn’t just come over the material world, it went through the astral world.’

The attack that suddenly rained down from the sky was so destructive that the term orbital bombardment could not be more appropriate.

Even Heinrich, who, as an angel, was highly compensated for protection, felt burdened while defending, so how could the others do it?

Kwaaaang—! Coooooo! Pugh—!

Heinrich, who flew through the sky using the mobility of the wings on his back, swung his sword to intercept the pouring bombardment, and a series of roars and flashes of light erupted in the dark night sky.

And while he was blocking several attacks, he was able to roughly guess where the attacks were coming from by combining various analysis results, including the trajectory of the projectile.

‘…crazy. If this is true, it would mean that the distance is at least 5,000 kilometers?’

More than 5,000 kilometers north of Thailand.

That was the place where the sniper who was currently attacking was assumed to be.

No, I couldn’t even call him a sniper at this level.

What sniper in the world can shoot from 5,000 kilometers away with each shot hitting like an intercontinental ballistic missile?

‘Whoa, let’s not think of it as common sense. The priority is to stop that bombing first. If you make a mistake in this, not only the burning torches but also the citizens of the city will be massacred.’

Fortunately, the avatar force dispatched here was not so weak that missing Heinrich would immediately cause a major problem.

However, since you don’t know what will happen in the future, it would be better to finish the work and join as soon as possible before the plan goes awry.

‘It might be a little flashy, but… let’s go for sure.’

Heinrich flew over the city, spread his three pairs of wings wide, and exhaled divinity.

As if protecting humans on earth from heavenly punishment.

A huge curtain spread so wide that it covered the entire city shimmered like an aurora.

“…ah. “What is that?”

“Angel…? “You’re a real angel, right?”

“Oh oh! An angel has descended from heaven! “To save us!”

Heinrich’s charm seemed to have surpassed his limit by becoming an angel, and some of those who looked up at him suddenly began to pray.

As if faith was imprinted in one’s mind by directly encountering the object of faith.

Of course, it was nothing special to Heinrich now, who had no time to devote his mind to such trivial matters.

“Hey! Are you filming? If you miss that, you will be disqualified as a reporter! Zoom in a little harder! “The angle isn’t that great!”

“It’s not about the angle Chief! “How can something like that be captured completely on screen?”

An angel wearing white armor, wings of light and a halo, swimming in the sky and protecting the city from disaster.

That scene happened to be captured on camera by a broadcasting station that had visited the area to film a documentary.

It wasn’t a very important issue.

***

Near Lake Baikal, Russia.

“Whoa, what kind of fuss is this in the middle of the night?”

The thick steam along with the smell of sweat slowly subsided.

A blonde woman appeared in the center, bending her neck and swinging her arms around.

As if checking here and there to see if there were any problems due to sudden exercise.

“I really have to pay this debt. “If it weren’t for the Oracle’s request, I wouldn’t have cared whether that annoying executioner was killed or not.”

A woman dressed comfortably in a tank top and shorts, as if she had been suddenly called out of her sleep, was scratching her messy blonde hair tied back roughly.

Because I was in a hurry, I immediately gave my all without any warm-up exercises, and the heat radiating from my scalp made my head itch and I couldn’t stand it.

Beads of sweat were flowing all over his body and dripping down along the texture of his slender muscles.

“Ha, shall we start again?”

Unfortunately, the work is not over yet.

Even if she specialized in ultra-long-distance sniping, this distance was quite a burden, so she only paused for a moment.

She picked up one of the iron stakes lying on one side.

It was her own ‘bullet’ made with rare metals and a complex technique unique to Beoncheonhoe.

“Huu~ huu.”

As she took a deep breath, steam began to come out again from her reddened body.

Those eyes were already looking somewhere far away, not here.

In general, a point thousands of kilometers away that cannot even be seen, let alone determined.

thud!

One of her feet took a powerful step forward.

The energy amplified from the legs continued to rotate through the waist, shoulders, and then to the wrists.

And finally, the moment when that power is fully at your fingertips.

When he swung his arms with a powerful burst of energy, the iron stake in his hands disappeared.

Nettlefish—Kugugung!

It was as if a rocket had been launched, leaving behind only a shock wave that tore through the space.

In the swirling aftermath, the surrounding bushes were shaken to and fro as if they were uprooted.

It wasn’t the end.

After finishing throwing, she took another step.

In her other hand, she was suddenly holding the same stake as before.

Rumbling! Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Even though a barrier was installed to cushion the impact, the surrounding environment began to turn into a mess due to the shock waves that erupted in succession.

If they hadn’t deliberately gone to a place where people didn’t go, the aftermath alone would have been enough to cause mass murder.

The bullets fired like that ended after more than a dozen bullets were fired.

“Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve had a cool sweat.”

Her blue eyes turned south.

About ten seconds from launch to landing.

Most of her sniping, which was a combination of various ranged skills including “Fire Focus,” had already reached the target.

In fact, considering the distance was over 5,000 kilometers, it made no sense in physics and was difficult to explain mathematically, but she was a being who was not bound by such laws.

Because she was someone who went beyond deviating from the laws of the world and reached a point where she could impose on the world some of the laws she had defined.

“…Oh, that’s great? Hmm, anyway, I’ve done enough. “If I help you this much and still die, it’s because I’m incompetent.”

This time, she only came forward because of Oracle, and she didn’t really like the executioner, who was a complete idiot.

No, strictly speaking, I hated it very much.

If Hoeju hadn’t banned fighting, I would have wanted to stab him in the back of the head with my special move several times.

‘He is a typical bully who fights as he pleases without any beliefs or anything else. I hope you come to your senses after being treated so harshly by this incident.’

She glanced south, yawned long, and walked away.

Since I sweated a lot due to untimely exercise, I was planning to go back to my dorm, wash up, and get a good night’s sleep.

There was no longer anything left in her mind.

***

Tracking the exact location of the attack ended in failure.

Compared to its enormous power and speed, the projectile was so small and even had special abilities involved, so it was impossible to trace it even with Hesperon’s satellite and other means.

‘But I figured out the approximate direction and distance.’

russia.

In fact, that place was certain.

Well, since the land is so large, just that alone won’t be of much help.

‘It’s probably the highest-ranking officer there, a little lower than the executioner. It also specializes in long-distance attacks.’

Otherwise, this kind of power makes no sense.

A one-shot attack that seems to be equivalent to a tactical nuclear bomb is launched unilaterally from thousands of kilometers away.

Considering that the emission of inherent energy is not large and concentrated, the destructive force applied to a small area may have to be seen as greater than that.

‘Of course, I have never actually been directly hit by a tactical nuclear weapon.’

In any case, thanks to the enemy having such extreme attack power, we were able to better understand the abilities of Heinrich, an angel specializing in protecting something.

The result is this.

A panoramic view of the city that was somehow preserved without major damage, except for being disturbed by strong winds.

“Wow!”

“shit.”

It was the sight of six remnants of the Buncheonhoe lying sprawled out in front of him, captured and almost on the verge of death.

The reason for six instead of seven was simple.

‘Tsk, I never thought he would use all the remaining subordinates as discards and run away.’

Because the executioner, who was the most important target, had not yet been caught.
