My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant

Great War Heist Incident (3)

“The object grows by fulfilling the condition. The special skills “Corrupted Heart” and “Immortal” are combined to evolve into “Heart of Immortality.”

“The object grows by fulfilling the condition. The skill “Magic Affinity” evolves into “Magical Domination.”

“The object grows by fulfilling the condition. Acquire the special skill 「Eye of the Abyss」.」

A system message that floats in front of Hans’s eyes to the point of frantic.

‘finally!’

He was not a descendant of the Immortal King, but became the true 3rd Immortal King.

[Kuh-huh, huh-huh–!]

Hans went mad on the spot.

The black magic that poured from him like a storm was contained in the sound of laughter and swept around him like a wave.

“Ah… it’s really late… I threw it away.”

The saint staggered with a bewildered expression.

The facial expressions of others around her were not much different from hers.

[“It’s too early to give up! Now, this is the most advantageous place to face the Immortal King! Fight to the end with the determination to lay down your life!”]

Cardinal Pion’s abstract-like voice shakes their heads.

They hurriedly regained their composure and raised their arms again.

As he said, this was the moment when the Immortal King was weakest.

Since it was just completed, he couldn’t fully control his heart, and his power was limited by the divine barrier of the Great Hall of Fame.

I didn’t know if there was really a possibility if I fought with the determination to throw my life away.

I clenched my teeth with the determination to do so, and made a decision.

. . , of course, they knew.

that there would be no chance of that.

The Immortal King, Hans, had the ability to escape from this place, ignoring barriers if he felt at a disadvantage.

While the denomination side was holding back the shaking, Hans was grasping what he had gained this time.

‘”Instant death immunity”. Now, there will be no more absurd screams and deaths.’

The first perk I received was the “Summon of the Other Worlds” as a reward for achieving “a feat that transcends dimensions”.

Thanks to that, I was able to cross dimensions at will.

‘There seems to be a slight difference in the level of compensation. Of course, being able to avoid instant death isn’t a bad thing…’

Perhaps it is because of the difference between a ‘feat’, that is, a ‘great achievement’ and a simple ‘achievement’.

‘I’m not in a position to complain because I got it for free.’

The evolved skills were in the form of a stronger previous skill, so I decided to take a closer look at it later, and it was the new skill I got this time that caught my eye right away.

“The Eye of the Abyss” was a kind of magic eye.

It possesses a vicious power that cannot be compared with Harley’s “Jewelry Eye: Flame Copper”.

‘Is it the ability to inflict a mental attack such as fear and confusion just by looking at it, and to rule over beings belonging to a lower level demon than oneself?’

In other words, if you are weaker than Hans… now, just by making eye contact, you will become his slave, regardless of whether you are a demon, a demon, or a warlock.

Although there is a constraint that the larger the gap, the stronger the dependency, but this useful ability will be of great help in future planning.

‘Once you get it, you should try it.’

Immediately, “Eye of the Abyss” was activated.

The blue light in Hans’s eyes slowly faded, and darkness filled the empty eye sockets.

An abyss of unknown depth, full of eyes.

“That’s…!”

The abyss-like eyes that seem to absorb the surrounding light scan the surroundings…

“Huh?”

“Ahh···.”

In an instant, the surrounding air froze, and the whole body of those who touched his gaze began to tremble like convulsions.

“Everyone, calm down!”

Aww—!

At that time, a bright light burst out from the rear of the church group with a sudden shout.

There, a saint whose halo was blazing like the sun was scattering a warm light around it.

[“It is the ‘eye of the abyss’ of the immortal king recorded in tradition! Avoid never seeing each other!”]

[“As long as I can see it, I can somehow stop it with my divine power. But the mental pollution caused by direct eye contact is hard!”]

[“If you meet for a while, you can somehow heal. But if you stare at it for a long time . . . there is no way you can use your hands, so be careful.”]

The urgent voices of the cardinals and the saint through the divine power reverberated in Heinrich’s head.

‘Do you think it’s a more dangerous ability than I thought?’

Hans looked at them slowly again.

There were no people overreacting like before, perhaps thanks to the holy woman’s divine power, but all of them looked down slightly in order not to look into his eyes.

Even if it was important to read the opponent’s eyes in battle, Hans had no eyes in the first place, so there was no such thing.

It was said that there is no penalty for not looking directly into the eyes…

‘Still, the very idea of consciously avoiding your eyes will adversely affect your fighting ability.’

It was a very satisfying skill.

I really liked the domination of demons, which can be called the main ability, as well as the combat aspect.

‘It’s a bit sad to leave right away. Opportunities like this aren’t common, so should I try some more?’

It was the first line of the Immortal King Hans.

Isn’t it a bit out of shape to get rid of the body right now?

[This body is the incarnation of the horror that descended on the continent and a sign of tragedy! Despair, servants of the Order. you have failed Death will cover the streets, and grief and resentment will pierce the sky!]

A dignified speech delivered in front of the elites of the denomination.

Perhaps it was because he had absorbed the last fragment, he could tell that Hans’s tension was higher than usual.

Because the quality of each line was surprisingly stimulating.

‘Mainly for my mental health. I can’t. I need to get to the point quickly.’

[Well, let’s try it somewhere. Today is a good day, so let’s play with it. Kkukkuk!]

Hans’ skull staff was swung, and the black magic wrapped around the tip spread out in all directions.

Ignoring the vigilant Church personnel, excessive black energy resided in the remains of the undead scattered on the floor.

Crackle-! Whoops!

And without any help, they quickly gathered around several places, forming dozens of lumps.

The ultimate in efficiency that even completely destroyed undead can recycle.

[“It’s a corpse golem! Step back and reorganize your formation!”]

It was black magic that was newly added to 「Forbidden Knowledge」 after becoming the Immortal King.

When he gave it plenty of black magic, each individual individual seemed to be engulfed in black flames.

[Then, shall we start this match?]

A black aura rose again from the body of the Immortal King Hans.

***

The battle continued fiercely.

No matter how much Hans inherited the heart, he was not used to its power yet, so he could not be called a true immortal king.

There, this was the center of the Great Hall, and those who faced him were also the most elite of the denomination.

However···.

[“It seems he’s getting used to his powers! It is dangerous to take more time!”]

[“It is a miracle that there have been no fatalities yet. It is also thanks to the divine barrier of the Great Hall of Fame… Does that mean he’s playing with us?”]

As the clash continued, the damage on the church side was increasing like a snowball.

Unlike the undead, living humans, they are bound to get tired as time goes by, because their opponent, the Immortal King, is getting stronger as time goes by.

[“The state of being weakened by the divine barrier is that much….”]

I was terrified of what would have happened if I had encountered it outside instead of here.

[“The damage of the paladins is too great. If you delay any longer, the line will collapse. Before that, we must make a decision.”]

Paladin Jonien spoke with a heavy voice.

The problem was that most of the top-ranked paladins were recruited from the subjugation squad sent to the monster forest.

Because of that, Paladin was the only one left.

The saints and the cardinals are fighting against the Immortal King, but if the front is destroyed, it won’t last long.

[“I’ve tried anomalous operations several times already, but he’s reacting too fast. As if reading our thoughts…”]

[“Still, if we go on like this, we will be annihilated. I have to hit him somehow when he’s vigilant.”]

Their anguish forced Heinrich to shiver in his heart.

The denomination’s potential was not formidable, so it seems a bit excessive to respond with the information I had learned through him in advance.

‘I guess I’ll have to finish it slowly now. How would you like it to end?’

[“I have a good idea. . . . Sir Heinrich?”]

Read at readwn.com

Just then, the saint called him.

And her words that followed were also a situation that he did not wish for.

Of course, there were voices worried that Heinrich, who was still only a paladin, could entrust such a burdensome task…

[“Yes, I am. Just leave it to me.”]

He accepted the assignment with a confident attitude.

***

The church’s offensive was intensified.

Everyone poured out their divine power as if burning the last flame, driving the Immortal King.

With their appearance as if they had given up on a long-term battle, his momentum had to be momentarily dampened.

“Aww—!”

Among them, Paladin Jonien has been rushing forward without even taking care of himself.

As if he was going to somehow catch the gaze of the Immortal King on himself.

Quajiic!

[Do you think the same trick will work again!]

As soon as they deflect the Paladin, the paladins rush in one after another, and the heretical inquisitors pop out of the air after taking off their stealth.

They threw themselves away like moths leaping into the flames.

[“now!”]

At that time, enormous divine power gathered over the head of the Immortal King, and in an instant, it became a huge pillar of light and fell upon him.

Hwa-a-ah-

The shield surrounding him melted at once in the attack with the saint’s power…

At the same time, a small flash of light flashed in the pillar of light.

A small stream buried in a waterfall of enormous divine power.

[What?!]

The Immortal King noticed the anomaly, right after the blade had already reached his eyes.

[When until here!]

Chaeeng!

Astonished, he swung his staff engulfed in black magic and struck the sword.

However, his martial arts skills were not enough to face the Paladin’s sword head-on.

It’s not clear if it’s as sudden as the first time, but it doesn’t mean much to a master who already knew and was preparing for it.

Heinrich, who approached the Immortal King in an instant through the secret method and 「Blessing: Leap」, swept away all of the opponent’s defense with a graceful sword.

“Ha-!”

great opportunity.

A shining sword filled with divine power is fired like lightning…

It was blocked by a black curtain that suddenly unfolded.

Cheeky—!

In time slowed down in extreme concentration.

He was slowly tearing apart the black shroud and moving forward, but the pace seemed infinitely slow.

[No way!]

To make matters worse, the black cursed flame emanating from the Immortal King covered Heinrich’s whole body.

“Wow!”

The divine power surrounding his body melted away in an instant, and his whole body began to be eroded by the curse.

The power is lost along with the burning pain, and the senses are disturbed.

…I went forward with confidence, but even the last operation that carried everyone’s expectations failed.

At this rate… his sword will not reach the Immortal King.

“no! I don’t give up…!”

Black blood dripped from his nose and mouth, but he didn’t care and clenched his sword tighter.

It was an opportunity of a genius Il-woo that would never come again, created with the sacrifice and help of many people.

I could never have done this in vain!

Heinrich clenched his teeth and compressed the divine power at the tip of the sword, and compressed it again.

As quickly as possible, somehow, to get over this veil and reach the Immortal King!

A moment that seemed like an eternity.

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

In an instant, a soft light emanated from Heinrich’s body.

And, the divine power that was blocked by the wall grew explosively.

‘Third blessing!’

At the same time, the conditions were fulfilled and the bishop level divine power was reached.

The brilliance emanating from his sword grew stronger due to the sharply increased divine power, but it did not end there.

The power of “Blessing: Lightsword” that was immediately used.

The light that was contained in the sword and spread in all directions gathered and compressed, and finally, a sharply refined blade of the sword was created.

Like a lightsaber from science fiction.

“Ahhhh!”

Aww—!

The sword of light that was thrown out broke the black curtain in an instant.

and···.

Without a single hesitation, it pierced the heart of the Immortal King.

Boo-wook—

[Uh-huh! You bastard…!]

The compressed divine power emanating from the sword embedded in his heart burned his whole body in an instant.

The Immortal King, who burns with a mixture of sacred flames and black aura, and the paladin, whose body is covered with cursed flames and a subtle brilliance.

It was imprinted in the minds of everyone who watched it, as it was a desperately contrasting yet strangely homogeneous image.

[Ugh… that’s a good way. Dare to this body…!]

Whoops-!

Black magic exploded from his body, blowing away others who had taken advantage of the opportunity.

But in the midst of this, for some reason, Heinrichmann stood firm and had his sword stuck in his heart.

[Heh heh… I was so careless. yes you Servant of the Order. What’s your name?]

He was the first to inflict fatal wounds by driving a sword into the heart of the 3rd Immortal King.

The Immortal King asked the name of the opponent as if acknowledging the achievement.

“Heinrich… Land Guard! I’ll throw you back into the abyss, Immortal King!”

[Heinrich Landguard… Don’t make me remember that name. Next time I won’t be beaten so easily! Ha ha ha!]

Even in the midst of burning like firewood, his body was constantly repeating destruction and restoration with divine power and black magic intertwined.

[Remember. This is not the end. On the day when darkness falls on the continent, I will return again!]

“Where!”

[Well, see you next time. Knuckles…]

With those words, the figure of the Immortal King Hans, who had been burning through Heinrich’s sword, disappeared.

Like it wasn’t there from the beginning.

The undead, who were protected by black magic, fell to the floor at once and began to burn in sacred flames, and the battlefield was engulfed in silence in an instant.

dump-

At that moment, a small noise broke the silence.

“ah! Sir Heinrich! Heal quickly!”

Heinrich, a paladin who succeeded in inserting a sword into the heart of the Immortal King without giving up until the end for his beliefs, was rushed to the priests.

“Oh my God, how can I be in this situation to the end…”

Even during purification, the vicious curse energy that constantly leaked from the eroded area burst out in awe of those around them.

Even if the treatment was completely finished, this was enough to require a long period of recuperation.

They could not even guess how much pain the person who had been covered with this concentrated and horrendous curse must have felt.

His mental power to defeat the Immortal King even in the most extreme circumstances.

Heinrich and the wounded were treated like that, and the battlefield was quickly cleared up.

“But, after all, he ran away.”

“…Still, it was a situation that could be dangerous for all of us, but I’m glad the sacrifice wasn’t too big. There will be many opportunities in the future.”

“Heh heh heh… Still, this time I hurt my heart, so I won’t be able to move in haste for a while. In the meantime, we should also gather the strength of the continent and prepare to fight against it.”

“It’s all thanks to his hard work until the end.”

Everyone’s eyes turned to Heinrich, who was fainting among the priests.

On that day, the denomination was deprived of the last fragment and could not prevent the second coming of the Immortal King…

With the birth of a new hero, it was possible to buy time to prepare for disaster.

Everyone thought so.

. . . except for one person.
