My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant

the beginning of change (1)

Deep in a deserted mountain.

Fuhuaak—!

There, something crawled through the dirt floor.

And following the first one, two three … the number continued to increase.

[Cruck—]

The appearance of so many undead constantly crawling to the ground was reminiscent of a scene from a horror movie.

They came from the scars of an abyss that had been buried in the ground for a long time.

As the boundaries became blurred due to the opening of the abyss, those who were drifting there were able to escape one by one.

Interest to get involved—

Moongrass!

In addition, there were no low-level undead such as zombies or skeletons in that group.

At least after more than one hundred of the elite undead army of Skeleton Knights, they were vigilant about their surroundings and formed a rank among themselves.

Not an ordinary undead, but an intelligent movement.

The army of immortality, spreading the energy of death in all directions, has finally appeared on the ground.

[…for now… to move….]

The one who led the army was a knight with his head on his side, wearing splendid armor, a knight called Durahan.

Little rattle rattle!

Four Doctors—

It was an obvious anomaly, but this was nothing special.

Because it was still happening all over the continent even now.

***

Circumstances have changed rapidly, and the situation has changed rapidly.

The sacrifice rituals held across the continent, the abyss opened by that, and the immortal army resurrected in connection with it.

And the culprit behind all of this— the disaster of the continent, even the king of immortality.

Only when such a real threat approached, those who had responded lukewarmly to the church’s warnings began to move quickly.

Of course, there were quite a few of them who were thoroughly prepared from the beginning…

One of them was the Kingdom of Talia, located at the western end of the continent.

“How is the situation?”

“The entire continent is in a state of emergency. The scars of the abyss, which are already healed, are difficult to detect, so you never know when or where the undead will come out, so you are nervous.”

To Heinz II’s question, Mullo Brokoslak politely answered.

For this kind of situation, 300 years ago, there was no time when the Immortal King was called, so everyone was not well prepared.

The aftermath of the previous generations of immortal kings knocking on the door of the abyss has now exploded like this.

“Fortunately, there is no major damage to neighboring countries, including our Talia Kingdom.”

‘That’s right.’

It was natural.

Thanks to receiving a gift from the previous Immortal King, Hans, who was able to detect the army of immortality, was collecting the tribes they came from nearby and storing them in the sonic space.

‘The detection range isn’t that wide yet, but we’re diligently moving around to widen the range of patrols, so we’ll be able to handle the western area somehow.’

It would have been best if he could summon as many troops as he wanted from wherever he wanted, but now the borders have become so weak that it is inevitable.

All you have to do is fix this as much as possible.

In fact, the region with the most scars was the western part of the continent, so that alone was quite good.

“How is the connection with the Hubert Chamber in Tarak in the Tulk Kingdom going?”

“We have made contact and are assisting in the shadows as per their needs.”

“If there’s anything they want, please listen to them as much as possible. The conversation with Hubert is already over. He will fully help us from there too, and it will also help us get a title in the Tulk Kingdom.”

Hubert Sanghui in Yangji and Clan Brokoslac in Shamji had a very good relationship.

It will be a good relationship that can promote win-win through synergy between each other.

“But you are still human. Besides, it’s quite dangerous to believe in a business, but if we accept him as our clan…”

“I don’t know about anyone else, but Hubert is fine. I will never betray you, so let me know.”

“···ah! You also wrote a number. I will follow your orders.”

Mullo nodded his head with an understandable face.

After all, both of them were their own forces, so there was no need to worry about anything else as long as the subordinates were properly cracked down.

But not everything worked out so well.

Because the most important issue remained unresolved.

“…the effects of madness have not yet been reported?”

Heinz asked Mullo, feeling the faint energy of madness that he could still feel around him.

It had been several days since the abyss opened and the madness escaped, but this energy, which had spread throughout the continent and diluted, had yet to show any signs of it.

‘It’s absurd. No matter how imperfectly manifested, something from the abyss could not be so docile. There must be something wrong.’

“It is not certain because the period is still short, but it is said that the number of people quarreling over trivial matters has increased whether it is the influence of ‘madness’. Of course, to get accurate statistics, we will have to wait and see.”

“Although it spreads across the continent and becomes less concentrated, it is highly probable that it affected the unconscious. Let us examine it closely.”

“yes. And, to be sure of this too, we need to investigate further…”

Mullo looked at Heinz with a serious expression on his face.

Contrary to saying that it takes time, there was a certain degree of certainty on his face.

“The movements of the monsters are said to be unusual.”

***

The holy sword was a symbol in itself.

The representatives of the Holy Spirit Church’s armed forces were Crusaders, Paladins, and Paladins, the pinnacle of them…

All of this is just a system established by humans.

Just like the saint who was chosen by the god as a substitute for his will, the owner of the holy sword was the first sword of the god.

Therefore, if anyone became the master of the holy sword, the treatment had to change dramatically.

Like Heinrich now.

The largest chapel in the Great Hall of Roselia.

There were now two cardinals, an archbishop, a paladin, and the highest ranks of the denomination.

Not only them, but many others were also present, and you can see how important this event is to them considering this is the busiest time of the year.

Yes, this is the owner of the new holy sword.

Heinrich’s paladin inauguration ceremony was held here.

‘I feel a sense of inadequacy.’

How long has it been since you were ordained as a paladin and you are already a paladin?

In addition, this ceremony was hosted by the saint herself, and it was a luxury that other paladins had never experienced.

‘In a way, it’s normal.’

In a crisis situation on the continent, he was the master of the Holy Sword, which was born for the first time in 300 years.

Then, in a solemn atmosphere, a ceremony dedicated to Heinrich alone proceeded like a flowing stream.

After the reading of prayers to the Lord, rites, and other symbolic procedures…

Finally.

In front of the saint standing on the podium, Heinrich, who was kneeling on one knee, drew the holy sword from the stigma on his palm.

woo woo-

A beautiful, silvery holy sword that drops the sword as soon as it appears and reveals its presence in the world.

When it was revealed, the people around me vomited admiration without knowing it.

Even among the paladins in this place, there were those who challenged the ordeal of the holy sword, so the emotions they felt were more than they thought.

“That’s… the Holy Sword.”

“Really, that’s great. It’s just a sword, but its inherent divine power is beyond measure.”

Heinrich and the Saint were the only two who were calm in that situation.

Even while everyone was so engrossed in the Holy Sword, the ceremony continued naturally…

“…it will become a sword that protects the weak and condemns evil, so I appoint Heinrich Landguard as the paladin of the God Church.”

All the inauguration ceremonies were completed in a reverent atmosphere.

‘It reminds me of the past.’

It is much larger now, but when he became a paladin, he had a similar atmosphere as now.

Beautiful sunlight breaking through the colorful stained glass, the benevolent atmosphere of the solemn chapel.

Even a saint who puts a paladin sign on her neck with a soft smile.

It was a sacred scene, as if painted in a painting.

《The entity has achieved Enlightenment by fulfilling the condition. Acquire the special skill 「Great Blessing: Knight of Light」.」

Yes, the system window that came up at this time was also the same as it was then.

‘···what? really?’

Heinrich’s body, bewildered by one beat, momentarily erupted with tremendous divine power.

It was different from the blessings I had received so far.

Something darker, heavier, and more intense filled my body.

Enormous divine power swirled around his body and slowly merged with the energy of the holy sword that had settled in his body.

My mind was lifted in an instant as if my head was open, and my connection with the Lord began to become stronger.

‘ね····.’

Heinrich clenched his teeth by activating the “Mind Hub” as much as possible so as not to be swept away by the violent flow.

It felt like if I let go of my heart even for a moment, my mind would get caught up in it and fly away.

At that moment, right in front of him…

The universe unfolded.

Hwa-a-ah-

Meanwhile, the hearts of everyone who saw Heinrich engulfed in the dazzling light while holding the holy sword became one heart and one mind.

“ah! What a blessing!”

“Oh oh-! God’s grace is with you!”

And just like Heinrich’s paladin inauguration ceremony, the board quickly grew and a prayer meeting was held.

Knowing that the Lord was paying attention to this place, it was only natural that prayers continued more passionately than usual.

While the scene was getting hot like that.

‘ah···.’

Heinrich’s mind, which had been engulfed in the light, slowly returned.

In the universe that opened up in his heart, I could feel the will of God more clearly this time.

Of course, as before, all he could feel was still ‘interest’.

‘No, I don’t know what to do because my will is so big.’

Even if they evolved from ticks to ants, the only thing visible under a human’s feet is their toes.

It was so different in the first place, I couldn’t figure out how.

Even so, if you give him such a great blessing, doesn’t it mean that he is quite pleased with his actions so far?

In the future, we would just have to do it the same way.

‘If the sponsors are satisfied, that would be a good thing.’

Spectacular object information window.

Gradually, the Immortal King Hans… no, he was growing into an opponent like Hannibal Strauss.

‘uh?’

The moment I was checking the object information with such satisfaction.

Heinrich saw his hair rustling around his eyes and realized that something had changed.

‘White hair?’

No, he took the divine power too much and turned it white, but the shiny and strangely shimmering thing wasn’t just white hair.

Yeah, to be honest, it feels like a saint’s silver hair…

‘Oh, maybe?’

With a sudden thought, he hurriedly looked at his face with the blade of the holy sword he was still holding in his hand.

The first thing that catches your eye is the silvery white waves covering your hair.

and.

‘…Golden eyes.’

The shape of the face has also changed drastically.

In the meantime, the appearance was not much different from the body, but all the elements were coordinated and balanced, and it became the impression that anyone could say that he was handsome.

‘No, my original face is not ugly at all!’

I’ve heard quite a few people say he’s pretty, though.

After seeing Heinz II and Harris, and seeing Heinrich’s changed face, I couldn’t help but cringe.

‘No! Is this all me? I don’t need to have a sense of entitlement even for my own self…’

To him, who was spending time alone in anguish, looking at his face reflected in the blade of his sword with his head so dizzy.

“Sir Heinrich St. Landguard. ···no.”

The saint approached me with a soft smile and spoke to me.

“Saint.”
