〈 White Knight (1) 〉
The tyrant glared at the opponent who lifted him up by his neck with a distorted face.
“Keueuuuuu.”
As I was in contact like this, I was able to feel the other person’s presence more clearly.
And I was sure that the moment I succeeded in breaking through the barrier, I had relaxed without realizing it.
‘shit…! ‘You’re using a lot of energy to press it down!’
Otherwise, it would be completely incomprehensible.
The density of the space where the other person is is so obviously different that I can’t understand why I didn’t notice it sooner.
He gritted his teeth as he tried to push away the enormous torrent of blood magic that was rummaging through his body and interfering with the operation of his supernatural ability.
‘This is a different story…!’
I had already heard about his existence.
It is said that someday a level 9 vampire newly born in Korea may come to visit.
I ignored the request for additional cooperation and didn’t hear any further details, but I was still hoping that it might be fun…
‘I never thought it would be this much of a monster!’
If I had known this would happen, I would have just accepted their offer.
No, but if that happens, there is a risk that their influence within Europe will grow even more…
When the tyrant’s mind is tangled up in such a desperate situation.
Heinz, who was holding onto his neck while trying to control the overflowing energy as much as possible, was finally able to decide what to do with his opponent.
‘It is clearly a transcendent level vampire, but the proportion of the vampire’s unique abilities in the actual power used is not that large. Strictly speaking, I’d say he’s closer to a different race with superpowers.’
I realized this clearly after exchanging hands with him a few times.
The opponent simply uses most of the power derived from the vampire factor as a means to assist in the exercise of high-powered supernatural abilities.
Even so, except for some that were used for self-strengthening, the rest were left behind without being used properly.
‘I think it was probably meant to be used for things like rapid regeneration in emergencies. It’s ironic that in the current situation, which is a real crisis, that’s not even possible.’
But thanks to you, I was able to make up my mind.
Heinz continued to push energy through the hand holding the leash and brought his sharp fangs to the nape of the neck.
“You…!”
The tyrant’s eyes widened in awe at him, but he didn’t care.
No matter how much of a temporary burst of power I used, there was no way it would be easy to subdue and capture an opponent of that size!
It was slowly reaching my limit, so I had to finish the work as quickly as possible.
Puuuk—
Suddenly, sharp teeth pierced through the alloy-hard skin.
And blood slowly began to be sucked through there.
Gooooo—
Quad Deuk! Quack!
As if its resistance was getting stronger, the shadowy energy was shaking violently and clawing its entire body, but as the blood sucking was already in progress, the situation was almost over.
‘Don’t worry. ‘I have no intention of killing you.’
No matter how I looked at it, he seemed quite useful.
In any case, all he needed to grow further was ‘a vampire of a completely different lineage.’
Now, all abilities have exploded and even control over blood has increased to an extreme level.
It was not impossible to carry out predation without taking lives.
“Tsk! Mad Vamp? What…! “Aaaah!”
Of course, the act of vampirism is not just about sucking blood, but is a ritual of robbing a part of the opponent in a more magical sense, so there was a problem that the absolute amount of power was reduced significantly from the victim’s perspective… But
anyway, Wouldn’t it be better than dying?
At his level, even if he falls to the level of residual blood, it won’t be a big loss.
‘At this level, it can be said to be a win-win situation.’
In this way, the tyrant who ruled the underbelly of France was able to survive.
The citizens of this country are now able to enjoy a safer night.
《Collect new blood-sucking factors. Due to the influence of the special skill “Mixed Race Evolution,” the existence of the individual becomes more clear.》
Heinz II was able to achieve his original goal and at the same time take control of the European outpost.
It was truly a happy ending where everyone was happy.
“My my strength…! You! “What on earth have you done…!”
“Hmm?”
Although it still seemed like it would take some time for one person to be convinced.
‘After all, ‘Deception’ doesn’t really work against an opponent like this. I think I need some education.’
It probably won’t last that long either.
***
When Heinz II was active in Europe.
Hans Hahoetal, who returned to Earth for the first time in a while, was busy as if trying to make up for his absence.
‘I also found out that the most annoying Beoncheonhoeju was away, so there is no need to panic.’
One of the pieces of information that could be obtained through Yulryeongja was Hoeju’s Oeyu.
In response, Hans not only scanned the entire Republic of Korea, which was his original home, but also took time to clean up the Japanese archipelago where he had left off along the way, and also began to poke around in China, which was reacting very sensitively.
‘No matter how you look at it, China’s reaction is unusual. As expected, most of the high-ranking people over there have already fallen to the Buncheonhoe.’
It was also quite impressive that the chaos at Beoncheonhoe did not last long even after the ruling leader, the head of the East Asia branch, was removed.
It would not have been that easy to resolve the situation by simply dispatching a new successor.
They said that China was an important base for them, so much so that they had to pay such attention.
‘But the situation itself is not that bad. In fact, it seems that there were many people who had already realized the existence of the Buncheonhoe and were secretly wary of them.’
I thought I was fighting a lonely battle all alone.
According to the recollections of the ruler, there seemed to be forces opposing them in quite a few places.
Due to the nature of the resistance forces against a powerful enemy, they were all scattered and operating in secret, so he was unable to understand them.
‘The reason China has recently taken a particularly hard line against Korea is probably because of its stronger anti-Buncheonhoe stance.’
After the Seoul terrorist attack by Alpha, a member of the Buncheonhoe.
Centered around the Returnees’ Association, Korea began to take a more proactive and hostile line toward the Buncheonhoe.
Of course, some of their subordinates, who seemed to be influenced by them, carried out sabotage efforts in various fields, including the political world, but…
‘It’s easy to take down those guys without having to judge them directly.’
So far, Hahoetal has not directly touched key figures, including government figures.
It was obvious that if I did that, it would be a hassle in many ways.
But that didn’t mean we would just sit by and watch them.
“People who are inherently dirty tend to hang out with people who are just as dirty.”
Whether it’s a contractor who does dirty work for you, an illegal force for money laundering, or a service gang that can be easily hired and cut off.
If you go after those guys, you’ll find a series of evidence showing the superiors who ordered them to do the work.
‘To begin with, that underworld is already in my hands.’
The problem could have been easily resolved by moving the clan.
In the end, they had no choice but to choose between social downfall and full cooperation with this side.
“But…”
I was feeling like everything was going smoothly.
A certain movement taking place in the country began to subtly grate on my nerves.
As I was quietly sorting out the current situation, I patted the armrest of my chair and frowned.
‘I tried to leave it alone for now.’
An investigation team from the Pantheon, a religious alliance in another world.
The secretary of the North American branch of the Buncheonhoe in the United States had realized that there was some involvement, so he planned to wait and see the situation until he clearly figured out their purpose.
As long as it doesn’t infringe on our daily lives.
“But it’s so annoying.”
It was not that difficult to obtain information about the investigation team’s movements.
Since they had nothing to worry about, they also had no intention of hiding anything.
It was natural since they were not searching for criminals in the first place.
‘Let alone the fact that it’s self-righteous to try to find someone who didn’t show up on purpose.’
It was an unavoidable matter as it involved many interests.
The problem is what they are doing now.
‘I never thought they would try to thoroughly investigate everyone who was in the hospital at that time.’
When the investigation team heard the news that they had visited Kang Tae-san’s grandmother, no response was made.
Of course, it was clear that Heinrich was involved in the grandmother’s quick discharge, but it was only a short time ago that ultra-pure divine power rained down on everyone at the scene in the first place.
But isn’t there any trace left of a time when the state was lower than that?
Of course, they had no choice but to resign without receiving much income…
However, when a full investigation is conducted, the story changes.
“Because I was there at that time.”
As someone who was hiding the fact that he was an awakened person, being the subject of an investigation was a huge burden in itself.
No, to be honest, it was very difficult.
Right now, he was somehow hiding it and moving around as he pleased, but it was obvious that if the high-ranking priests decided to inspect it, he would eventually be discovered.
I sat down on the massage chair and sighed, scratching my head.
‘If you copy Heinz’s ‘Nenesis of Existence’ as much as possible with the additional ability of ‘Object Projection’ and implement it in the main body…’
If you do that, it might be possible to hide it.
However, since the skill level was still not that high, even that was still a gamble.
The surest way would be to simply not be subject to investigation at all.
In the end, I licked my lips and nodded slowly.
“…I can’t help it.”
It was truly unavoidable.
***
After the hospital terrorist incident was reported and the existence of Holy Knight Heinrich was revealed to the public.
Many people, both online and offline, were enthusiastic and inquired about his whereabouts.
That’s right… Since he attracted so many people’s attention from his brilliant first appearance, the news that patients who benefited from his divine power had greatly improved was widely covered in the media.
Of course, unlike the saint, Heinrich’s divine power was specialized for perm rather than healing, but such a classification was also applicable at a certain level.
The saint-level divine power that has never appeared on Earth before has been amplified by the holy sword, and the losses have been reduced by 『Dimensional barrier relaxation』?
‘…It’s rather strange that this isn’t the reaction.’
For those who were healthy to begin with, minor symptoms that they had not been aware of disappeared and their condition soared to its peak.
The wounds of those who had minor injuries disappeared as if they had been washed.
Even patients with serious injuries recovered to the point where they only needed simple treatment.
The condition has been greatly alleviated to the point that even the sick today and tomorrow can begin treatment again and aim for a complete cure.
The heat that resulted was such that there was no need to mention it.
Even though the joint investigation between Pantheon and the Ability Management Bureau crossed a line, the public did not express much dissatisfaction, which probably had a big impact.
This meant that everyone was interested in who the ‘white knight’ was who brought about the miracle.
Perhaps even surpassing Hahoe Mask.
‘No, isn’t that right? Maybe it’s just the difference in ways to profit.’
There is no problem in receiving benefits without knowing Hahoe Tal’s identity, but in order to receive the White Knight’s grace, you must know his identity.
Perhaps one of the reasons is that many people think that way.
Clunk—clunk—
that’s why he was here now.
“ok? “Is it really…?”
“uh? “Huh?”
“No… really?”
A university children’s hospital in downtown Seoul.
Clunk—clunk—
A knight in white armor suddenly appeared at the front door and confidently crossed the hospital lobby.
A subtle radiance began to bloom from his body and slowly cover the surroundings.
The eyes of everyone in the lobby, including patients, guardians, doctors, and nurses, turned blankly to that place.
But that subtle confusion lasted only for a moment.
“Oh, it’s true! Suya! Suya! Come on….”
“Wow~ That’s cool.”
“Aaaah! teacher! “Teacher, please help my child…!”
“Mr. Ki Kim. “Is he really…?”
Soon, shouts erupted from all directions.
The longing gazes of those who could not get closer to the intimidating feeling felt even in the soft energy were focused on the saint at the center.
‘This is a strange feeling again.’
If you were worried about your identity being revealed due to the investigation, the solution was simple.
Making it unnecessary to do any research at all.
‘At this point, I should try proselytizing like other religions. Then, the restrictions on the power that can be used on Earth may be further relaxed.’
A saint called from Outerica through remote summoning.
Heinrich St. Landgard appeared in the middle of Seoul.
