My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant

Abyss opens (3)

When Heinrich, who had the holy sword in the stigma, opened the stone door of the seal and came out, it was the place where he first entered the ordeal.

Despite the many trials and tribulations, there was only one door that stood in the way.

‘I’ve known since the time the Holy Sword built a virtual world for trials. It’s amazing to think about it again.’

He looked at the scars on his palms and smiled contentedly.

‘If this is enough, I don’t think I’ll lose even if I bump into a Paladin head-on?’

In addition, 「Blessing: Holy Sword」, like other abilities, was a skill that became stronger the more it was trained.

It was said that the power he gained right now wasn’t everything.

“You are finally here.”

However, there were a group of people who opened the stone gate and met Heinrich as he went out.

“Good job, Sir Heinrich.”

“Ah, Cardinal Donovan!”

It was the elite, including the cardinal in charge of the Great War of Picaol.

‘How do you know I’m coming out…? No, that was a stupid idea.’

It wasn’t to meet him.

In the first place, Acrich escaped through the hole in the abyss from the center of the Great Hall of Fame, and there is no way that the Church would not know about it.

‘It’s natural to prepare. Since the spatial isolation through the trial of the Holy Sword has also disappeared, it would have been possible to detect it more clearly.’

Because of that, they ran to prepare for an emergency, but before they could even enter, the black magic inside disappeared, so they were waiting in front for now.

It could have been a hindrance to Heinrich, who was undergoing an ordeal inside.

“Heh heh heh, I was just wondering… You have succeeded in becoming the master of the Exotic Holy Sword!”

The cardinal looked at Heinrich’s palm and smiled brightly as he was surprised.

The reaction of the other priests behind him was the same.

“I really hope it will work.”

“I heard rumors. I heard that he was a paladin who defeated him by inserting a sword into the heart of the immortal king…”

“The master of the holy sword reappears at this time! After all, this must be the will of the Lord!”

Everyone reacted violently to the holy sword that appeared for the first time in 300 years.

Now that the Immortal King has returned and the abyss has been opened, it was significant that the holy sword, the symbol of a hero, reappeared.

“This must also be fate. Yes Sir Heinrich. Did something go wrong inside?”

Cardinal Donovan, nodding quietly, asked Heinrich, glanced at the door he came out of.

“Ah, after pulling out the holy sword, the abyss showed abnormal symptoms. After that, an Acrich came out there, but…”

“Akrich?”

“I was able to deal with the lack of pulse with the power of the Holy Barrier. He was in possession of the source, so he was able to get rid of it cleanly on the spot.”

“Is that so…? I’m glad I didn’t have any problems.”

He let out a light sigh and looked at the priests behind him and chin at the stone gate.

In response, the high priests and paladins began to enter the interior of the stone chamber where the holy sword was sealed.

Heinrich looked at them puzzledly, and the Cardinal continued with a bitter smile.

“Come to think of it, I don’t know about the disturbance outside Kyung-eun. I must have been very embarrassed by the sudden reaction of the abyss.”

“Ah, yes… yes.”

In fact, he knew the outside situation better than anyone, but Heinrich only nodded his head with an ambiguous expression.

The cardinal explained the situation to him with a hardened face.

Why did that happen in the abyss.

About the second abyss opened to the continent, and also about future countermeasures.

“Now that I don’t even have a holy sword, the hole in the abyss must be managed more thoroughly. I plan to set up an additional barrier, and have some people stationed there just in case.”

The barrier that is now unfolding was not lacking at all, but it actually came out to the Archrich, so I needed to be more careful.

“Still, there was a shortage of workers. Heh heh heh! This is so f*cking… Hmmm, it’s a difficult situation.”

It was a cardinal whose true intentions seemed to have jumped out of nowhere without realizing it, but he coughed casually and took Heinrich outside.

“They will finish the work here, so we’ll go home. There is a lot of work to be done in the future.”

Due to the current situation, there was no time to relax.

After taking such a short break, Heinrich immediately moved to the gate room to return to the Great Temple of Roselia.

woo woo-

The gate started to operate slowly.

Heinrich looked back at Cardinal Donovan, who had been sent off, with a puzzled expression on his face.

“You must be busy with construction, but you don’t have to come out like this.”

Isn’t it a very busy time?

It was rather burdensome to see someone as many as cardinals go out to see them off in person.

“Heh heh, after becoming the master of the holy sword, Sir Sang-kyung is no longer just a paladin. This is nothing. Above all, I have one last thing to say.”

Well, now his status was going to be different from before.

Because being the master of the holy sword meant the sword of the god representing this era.

“What is the last thing you want to say…?”

At that, the cardinal approached him with a serious expression and put his mouth to his ear.

With that cautious attitude, Heinrich seriously listened to him…

“What I said last time. Haven’t you forgotten?”

“···yes?”

“Saying, Lady. huh? Do I have to explain again?”

“…No, I remember. Do not worry.”

“Ummm, that’s great! Then go see it!”

“·················ogue.”

For Cardinal Donovan, who is the eldest person, the master of the Holy Sword and what it was, that was just a separate matter.

***

“Welcome, Sir Heinrich. I thought you would do a great job!”

Heinrich, who returned to the Great Temple of Roselia, was immediately able to face the saint who greeted him with a gentle smile.

After exchanging greetings with each other, a light topic followed.

“By the way, was Cardinal Donovan in good health?”

“···Yes. I heard he was quite old, but he was very strong.”

Heinrich, who remembered his muscular muscles in spite of his old age, answered with a shaky expression.

“Whoa… I was worried because I was too busy to go to the Great Hall of Pikaol, but it seems that you are still exercising regularly. Even when you were here, you were very caring for me.”

Small chatter that lasts for a while.

However, given the circumstances, the light mood did not last long.

“You look very tired, Madame. You seem to have a lot of work.”

“Whoa— it’s not easy because this is such a big deal.”

The dark-faced saint took a deep breath.

The biggest problem was the opening of the second abyss, but the sacrifice ceremonies that were held on all continents before that was also a formidable task.

“Dozens of sacrificial rituals were triggered simultaneously across the continent. From small villages to small towns on the outskirts.”

It was a terrorist attack aimed at a place where there was no thorough magical defense and security was poor.

It was so thoroughly hidden that it was impossible to know that such a thing existed before it was activated.

‘Hearing this, I feel that they are amazing again.’

Even so, no matter how remote the village was, if it was aimed at a small town with a population of more than 1,000, it was usually not too early to prepare.

“The extent of the damage is still under investigation, but only tens of thousands of people have been identified so far. It is impossible to predict how much more it will increase in the future.”

The unprecedented massacre was a situation in which all countries on the continent were in a state of emergency.

Of course, the targets were mostly commoners living in places with poor security, so the damage itself was not insignificant to the high-ranking people.

‘But since the scale is so large, the leadership has no choice but to be alert.’

Who can guarantee that the menacing forces capable of doing things to this extent will never target them?

“…the real problem is that the re-appearance of Hans the Immortal King and the fact that the second abyss has been opened.”

The information of those dispatched to the South was transmitted to the Great War in near real time, and they were still investigating the site.

“What came out of this abyss is ‘madness’. However, I think the case is different this time from the time of the Immortal King a thousand years ago.”

Unlike the ‘Heart of the Immortal King’, which completely descended on the earth, the madness that appeared this time was incompletely brought out.

Because of that, I couldn’t keep my shape and scattered all over the continent…

“That’s never a good sign. In a way, it is more difficult than the Immortal King.”

No major anomalies were found right now, but what was taken out of the abyss could not have a good effect on the continent.

As time goes on, the problem will slowly start to emerge.

In addition, because of the madness that covered the world, it was much more difficult to track the demons than before, so it was a bad news for the denomination in many ways.

“And above all, the Immortal King who did all these things…”

The Immortal King riding a Bone Dragon who appeared again before the members of the Order.

He deliberately did not leave the site and waited, mocking the members of the denomination and leisurely leaving the place.

With only one shot left of the Bone Dragon’s Death Breath.

“Fortunately, the damage is not that great. The people who were there were not happy. It would have been dangerous if the follow-up had continued…”

The Immortal King simply left.

“In other words, you can see how funny he is looking at us. Try to resist as much as you can, and you’re having fun as if you’re showing mercy.”

The saint with a hard expression on her face so that she could not remember her usual gentle impression, gritted her teeth.

“Lady…”

“Ha- I got a little excited. Still, this is good news. It is proof that the immortal king of this generation is so arrogant.”

It was an opportunity to target the Immortal King, who had taken extraordinary steps so far.

Even if there is a chance to finish it with certainty, he prioritizes his own fun and gives him a chance to look down on his opponent.

It’s a typical strong man’s way of thinking.

It was a weakness that made the strong people die countless times.

“We are aiming for that negligence. For the continent, a momentary humiliation is nothing. In the end, we will be the final winners.”

Heinrich, who was inspired by the saint’s determination with a serious expression, sympathized with him eagerly.

“I will help too, Madame. With the help of the Holy Sword, I’m sure I’ll be able to defeat him this time.”

“I believe, Sir Heinrich! God is the chosen enemy of the Immortal King Hans!”

Enthusiasm rises and confidence rises.

Heinrich made eye contact with the saint and nodded slowly.

‘…but they still call me Hans. I have a wonderful name, Hannibal Strauss. I’ll try to emphasize it a little more next time.’

Thinking of something else inside.

***

A stone chamber buried deep in the ground.

“Yes···?”

In the air that had been stagnant for many years, the second change occurred.

A pair of red eyes that slowly begin to glow in the dark.

“…what is this…?”

However, I woke up without realizing it because of a very foreign ‘something’, and the voice was still asleep.

It was completely sealed and there was no room for outside air to penetrate, but something reluctant to ignore such physical limitations stimulated its existence.

‘···Oh, right.’

There, once I woke up, I felt the ideal that I had felt before again.

It seemed that something was wrong with the clan.

‘You have to get up.’

Both the mysterious situation that seemed to be happening in real time and what happened to the clan were not common.

It was such a serious matter that I had to hurry up and check it myself.

So the being gave strength to the body to get up and kick it out.

“really···.”

No, I just thought so, and it didn’t lead to action.

A body trembling like it was about to get up.

However···.

“.

His body drooped again at the yawn that leaked out unconsciously.

Of course, he didn’t fall asleep again.

Because the energy that stimulates the surroundings was too annoying for that.

Even at this moment, the body that had fallen into hibernation was slowly being activated.

It was impossible to move right away, but…

It probably won’t take that long.

And thus the Blood of Brokoslac—was awakened from a long slumber.
