My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness Chapter 196

#196

White Giant (3)

[———!!]

The sound waves filled with the giant’s anger and murderous intent spread heavily and shook the whole place.

Rumbling—! Quad deuk! Kwaang—!

It didn’t stop there, and the earth broke apart due to the continuous shaking and shaking, leading to an earthquake.

“Khaha! “This guy is still so lively!”

Harley let out a cool laugh as she sat down on the guy’s head with her 10-ton body.

While still using “Jewel Eye: Coercion” with all my might to prevent him from getting up.

Of course, it was impossible for anyone to completely suppress this massive body weighing hundreds of tons and being as big as a 10-story building.

But since its body is humanoid, wouldn’t the process needed to raise it be obvious?

‘I’m also quite familiar with the human body structure.’

For him, who had unintentionally become well-versed in human anatomy by modifying his own body, it was no surprise that he only focused on interfering with the giant’s movements to get up.

‘That alone consumes so much energy that it seems difficult to maintain it for a long time. ‘Once people have time to evacuate, it’s okay.’

In addition, when I used the biological power mixed with ‘madness’ to activate ‘Jewel Eye: Coercion’, it was more effective against giants than expected.

Otherwise, it would have taken more effort to catch him.

Kugugugu—

but it seemed like that had reached its limit.

“Oh my! This guy has a short temper! “You can lie down a little longer!”

Finally, the giant, who placed both hands on the floor, raised his upper body little by little.

Harley, who was pressing the back of the guy’s head with her overwhelming mass, slowly stood up.

just as expected.

Whoa!

A white hand, about the same size as the now fully transformed Harley, flew towards him with a strong booming sound.

“Whatcha!”

Of course, Harley, who could not allow such a monotonous attack, lightly dodged the hand gesture and ducked to the floor.

Still, perhaps thanks to the fact that he bought time for Isea to step forward and evacuate the people, Harley herself is now nearby…

“Hmm, I expected it to a certain extent. No matter how much you destroy the internal organs, there is no effect. But I never thought I would be fine even if my heart was broken.”

“Ugh, I don’t know if my attack will work.”

In that moment, only Heinrich and Zios, who were diligently chopping up the giant’s body, remained.

“Khaat! Do you think I should aim for the head? I tried to break it while standing on top of it, but it was so hard and filled with madness that I didn’t think I could do it right away. “Isn’t a place with such strong defenses a weak spot?”

Harley moved her heavy body to stand next to her colleagues and spoke calmly.

Heinrich and Zios were also quite tall, but there was a huge height difference so that they looked like adults and children next to him.

…But in front of that giant, it was still there.

In front of them, the white giant had fully stood up and was looking down with an expression full of anger.

When I looked up at it right in front of me, the entire sky was covered, casting shadows everywhere.

[——?! ——!]

‘Hmm, I guess you’re really angry too?’

A powerful sound coming from the vast muscles that were swollen to the fullest and the nuchal cords that were constantly twitching.

Also, it seemed as if it didn’t even care about the orphanage group that it had first chased after, and its head was pointed towards the hero’s party… More precisely, it didn’t know how to leave Heinrich and Harley.

As if reflecting the feelings of such a giant.

Whoosh! Quaaaang!

Before they knew it, the hand that had risen high struck down like a thunderbolt, crushing the entire area near where they were.

Of course, since we were not in the group to suffer such a monotonous attack, the battle unfolded again in a similar way as before.

‘This giant is certainly very intelligent… but it is not rational enough to use it effectively. Well, it’s a monster that crawled up from the abyss, so it’s only natural.’

By any means necessary, they not only understood human language, but also extracted information from those conversations and accurately identified targets that could be their weak points.

Even later, he showed a cunning side by using it in reverse to gain a significant advantage in battle.

‘In the end, rushing into the real village was an irrational decision.’

Hostages had value only when they were alive.

If you really kill them, you will only provoke the enemy’s anger and there will be nothing left…

‘Wait a minute, is there really nothing left?’

Then suddenly a thought crossed my mind.

The opponent is a monster that crawls up from the abyss.

Is it really right to judge such a person’s behavior by general standards?

‘If that’s the case, what he can gain is…’

When a specific target is brought to death, anyone who sees it will be angry.

There will also be people who are sad, and there may be people who are in despair and who are pessimistic about the world and cannot accept this reality and go crazy.

‘They’re all just negative emotions.’

And to the being of the abyss, such negative emotions were not simply a source of strength.

‘A means to raise the status of existence itself… a means to become stronger by absorbing bad karma.’

That was what he knew best.

because-.

‘…Because it’s the same with Hans.’

Hannibal Strauss, the immortal king, Hans for short.

Previous immortal kings have invaded the continent each time, consumed by their mission to color the world with death.

Hans was able to block that impulse thanks to the “Mind Herb,” but he was fully aware of the extent of its compulsion.

Didn’t he come into contact with the fragments several times and feel it indirectly, as well as the information left behind by the thoughts of the previous immortal king?

‘And the current Hans is the one who continued the evil deeds of the previous generation.’

When the Immortal King is passed down from generation to generation, he inherits some of the bad karma accumulated by previous generations and becomes stronger.

Of course, as it was a crystal of death taken from the abyss, it must have been strong from the beginning.

Chu Chu, the greatest wizard of his time, no matter how defenseless he was, he burned down half of the continent.

The second generation, a third-rate warlock who happened to obtain the heart, destroyed the western part of the continent, for which preparations had already been made.

‘Of course, it doesn’t seem like this giant has the ability to pass on bad karma from generation to generation…’

What was important right now was that this white giant in front of me was also a being who had similar conditions to the Immortal King and could become strong.

‘…Are you planning to create a second immortal king?’

Heinrich, who was swinging his sword, frowned unconsciously.

He was convinced that the phenomenon that had just occurred could not have occurred naturally.

It was not a being that had drifted to the border, but a monster that was supposed to be at the bottom of the abyss, suddenly tore through the scar and jumped out.

He even has a significant amount of madness in his body.

So wouldn’t the identity of the person who did this be obvious?

‘The oath of reverse heaven. A person who possesses a medium of madness pulled from the abyss. He must have done something.’

When I thought about it that way, I didn’t think it was just a coincidence that the giant had appeared here now.

Even though this is the kingdom of Lesque, which has many scars from the abyss due to being the final battle site against the second immortal king, the timing is still too odd.

‘…Are you targeting Saint Heinrich? Or maybe he was driven by Harley’s madness.’

Maybe it was just a coincidence, but now it didn’t matter what the reason was.

‘…I guess we can definitely end this guy right here so he doesn’t grow any further.’

The eyes of Heinrich, who was wielding the holy sword, and Harley, who was cutting into the giant’s flesh with his sharp nails, flashed.

[“Now I will assist too! We gathered not only the people from the orphanage but also the villagers and set up a simple barrier in a safe place, so they won’t be swept away any time soon.”] [

“That’s good. There’s nothing to worry about now, so let’s finish him off for sure.”]

Just then, word came that Lee Se-ah, who had been away, had returned.

I had a good understanding of the giant’s abilities and there was nothing worth worrying about anymore.

Whoosh— whoosh!

A huge right foot aimed at Harley again.

But by the time it reached the floor, he had already taken over the giant’s back.

It moved so quickly that the dust rising along its trajectory had not even settled.

Harley, who was lying on the ground, crouched down like a wild beast and raised the corners of her mouth, revealing her vicious teeth.

Pop! Gigi geek—!

Metallic sounds leaked out from the extremely compressed muscles, the “Heart of the Light Dragon” beat continuously, and high-density energy swirled throughout the body.

“Hehehe! first…!”

The imprint, bio-aura, and ‘madness’ began to strengthen and destroy his body, ignoring the limitations of the physical body.

It is the responsibility of “super regeneration” to maintain such necrotic cells.

“Let’s start at eye level! friend!”

The thigh muscles, which were mixed with the genes of a mutant Minotaur that I had once acquired, swelled greatly.

While pulling with all my strength my hands that were stuck on the floor.

Kwaaaang—!

Harley’s body was launched like a missile.

Toward the giant’s right knee.

Cough—!

With a heavy sound, the giant’s legs shook and his body stumbled.

Even though it weighed hundreds of tons, it wasn’t that light either.

Since such a body was rammed into the human body’s weak points like a missile, the result was obvious.

He tried to hold on with his left leg for a moment, but…

“Hmph!”

Whoops,

the effort was in vain because the sword had already been sheathed and Heinrich swung the sword again at the right time.

[———?!]

Eventually, the giant began to fall to the side where Harley hit him.

The moment the guy instinctively reached out and tried to touch the floor.

“Whoa—.”

Geos took a deep breath, raised his spear, and—.

In a matter of seconds, dozens of spear strikes were fired into the air.

Meanwhile, his attacks had not had much effect on the giant, to the point that it healed in just a few seconds.

Kwaaaaang—!

That was enough time to snap the wrist of the guy who was trying to hit the ground and send him rolling around on the floor.

[———!!]

The earth screamed, and at the same time, a huge shock wave swept through the surroundings, and the giant screamed and twisted its body.

When I tried to raise my upper body by pressing down on the ground with my healthy left hand and forcibly pushing off the floor with my right hand, which had just begun to regenerate.

Woouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

In the sound of magical power resonating, Isea’s gravity magic activated again and pressed down on the guy’s body.

It was a great combo attack that came together through the teamwork and shared intention magic that had been cultivated over the years.

[“That giant’s magic power is so high that it won’t last long!”]

[“Haha! This is enough! Let’s go straight to the next one!”]

[“…Huh? “You have to be more precise to get it right!”]

But Harley just ran as if she wanted to show the rest with her own body.

He headed to where the giant’s head was and jumped upward with all his might.

“Eurachacha—!”

[“ah? Now wait a minute! If you enter that range now, Harley…!”]

“Hahaha! “That’s what I hoped for!”

Two hands held tightly behind the back and a waist curved like a bow.

In that state, he fell from the air under the acceleration of gravity.

I put all my weight on it and put my hands down.

Coooooo!

The huge head fell to the floor again, just as it had done before.

It was natural, as it was as if a hammer weighing dozens of tons had hit my head.

[“Are you okay?! No matter how strong it is, isn’t that too much?”]

[“Umm… It’s a little stiff.”]

Of course, Harley, who launched a hand-to-hand attack, could not ignore the shock.

But he just shook his hands a few times and then looked down at the head beneath him once more.

“It’s a familiar composition. It’s a very nostalgic sight! “Okay, now we’re going to have to destroy this.”

As if he was used to it since it was his second time, he used “Gem Eye: Coercion” to hinder the giant’s movements and stomped on the floor.

The skull was so strong that even though it was hit directly by his ‘Deadly Gravity Hammer’, it was only slightly dented.

[“…How about cutting off his head first?”]

[“Oh? “That’s a good idea, bro!”]

[“Then let me cut it down first.”]

However, perhaps because it was a weak point, cutting off its head wasn’t that easy.

Of course, it just takes a little more time.

On the way, the giant escaped from his restraints and went on another rampage, but it didn’t last long and he fell to the floor again and had his throat cut.

And finally.

‘Oh this?’

Harley smiled with satisfaction as she held the reward for her efforts.

***

Western border area of the Azerion Empire.

“Ugh!”

“What is this monster! “How on earth can I catch something like this!”

There, in one garrison, a literal massacre was unfolding.

The number of elite soldiers who had already died reached hundreds, and among them was even a master-level knight who was the commander of the unit.

“retreat! Retreat! “The first thing to do is to inform the Corps of this fact!”

“No, if something like that is released and enters the city, everyone will be exterminated!”

“But there’s nothing we can do! “The priority is to warn those around you!”

In the end, the executives were able to achieve their intended goal of conveying this information after taking an unreasonable retreat despite suffering damage.

In the process, there was a tragedy in which more than 90% of the unit members were killed in droves.

And the person who created that tragedy…the huge white giant standing in the middle of the Sisan Blood Sea.

Tuk-tuk!

I was alone in joy as I felt the frustrating seal that had been constricting me being released.

Of course, that doesn’t mean all restrictions have disappeared.

The only thing that was open was the seal blocking one nostril.

[Hmph—]

But that alone was great joy to him.

At least now I can breathe like this.

As the giant began to breathe deeply, the air around him was sucked in at an incredible speed, filling his lungs.

And…

[Huh—]
