〈 Romania (2) 〉
Udangtang—! Warrr—
A middle-aged man with gray-brown hair who is busily moving around and preparing something.
Then, noises rang out one after another in the space, which was littered with various trash and objects of unknown purpose.
“oh! “It’s already started!”
But his movements did not last long.
The middle-aged doctor saw the scene of a forest projected like a hologram on one wall and rushed over, throwing down the things in his hands.
“Woohohoho! You can’t miss this moment. Although you can’t just experiment directly, actual data is also important! “This is already exciting!”
Then he flopped down on the sofa prepared in front of the hologram, rubbing his hands together and his eyes shining.
His madness emanated from his eyes shining with strange anticipation and the corners of his mouth turned up high.
“I prepared a lot of other methods just in case! “This is a bit disappointing, but I’m also glad it ended easily…”
Immediately after the intrusion of the long-awaited target was detected.
He released everything he had prepared as if he had been waiting and succeeded in pushing his opponent.
In fact, strictly speaking, this was a trap that was bound to succeed from the beginning.
No matter what, the Phantom would definitely end up in Bucharest.
The situation was already over when the object’s purpose was known in the first place.
The easiest way would have been for the target to move deep into the city, but judging from the opponent’s actions so far, that would be an overly optimistic expectation.
“Hehe! Still, I’m glad my efforts weren’t in vain. Because I ended up using it properly!”
So, nets were set up all over the surrounding area.
No matter where the opponent tries to escape, pack it in so that you never miss it.
Of course, there were considerable losses, both material and intangible, in the process, but these were nothing compared to the importance of this event.
“Then shall we enjoy it now? “I also want to check the freshness of the test subject!”
As we had been waiting for quite a long time, all preparations for the experiment were completed so that it could begin as soon as the target was delivered here.
Just now I was so excited that I couldn’t stay still and just got excited one more time.
There was no need for him to do anything more now.
“Now—show me, Phantom! The infinite possibilities you have! A clue to reach the end of evolution! “Hurry and give me the key to the truth hidden by the world!”
Crash Crash—
The Doctor grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it into his mouth, holding a glass of Coke in his other hand.
He was fully prepared and had already thoroughly prepared for the viewing.
Food such as popcorn, nacho cheese, and cola were placed on the table in front of the sofa.
Above all, the mint chocolate ice cream filled with the doctor’s special magic tool ‘non-melting ice cream bucket’ showed off its appearance to the point of perfection.
“Oh? Shall we begin? Should we start now? Let’s go!”
In a situation where one spectator was added to the situation where all was well.
The scene in the forest was moving at a rapid pace.
***
Heinz, who had been having a snowball fight with the Duke for a while, slightly tilted his head.
‘indeed.’
As if his reputation as the strongest player in Europe was not a lie, the momentum flowing from him had a density that was on a different level from that of others he had encountered so far.
It felt like it would be a difficult fight even for Heinz, who had become stronger in ways that others could not even imagine.
‘Well, I’m not the only one in the world with special abilities. That side must have become stronger in ways I didn’t expect.’
Besides, isn’t that a monster who has been active since the beginning, unlike you?
Of course, I didn’t think that I would lose.
Even though it may be a little difficult, you will be the one who wins in the end.
…From what I could see, it seemed like they were thinking the same thing.
‘The problem is that the other conditions are too one-sided.’
Heinz continued to look around for the duke with heightened senses, and then frowned slightly.
Anyway, isn’t this a bit excessive?
The surrounding barrier was so complex that it was difficult to recognize all of its functions at a glance, and magical tools that gave off unusual energy were placed here and there as if to assist it.
‘Plus those guys too.’
Super-level strongmen who appear to belong to the European branch of the Buncheonhoe.
Although only three people showed up right away, he could tell.
They were the ones fighting on the front lines, so they just stepped forward first.
‘There’s that sniper and the eye monster too. Looking at the flow of magical power, there is at least one type of magic… There is also one lurking nearby. ‘Is he an assassin?’
Moreover, the vampires that came with the duke were also unusual.
There are about twenty of them, each one giving off a Jinhyeol-level aura.
Of course, most of them were just vampires and seemed to have reached the level in a separate way like the French tyrants, but considering that there were only fifteen Jinhyeol members of the ‘hybrid’ who absorbed most of the vampires in Outerica, how absurd this was. I could guess it.
‘You should take into account that originally, vampires, like lycanthropes, were a small race that lived in hiding.’
Heinz’s mind became confused.
Since he was an avatar, he could escape at any time if he canceled the summoning.
However…
“Your thoughts seem complicated. “The sound of heads rolling can be heard up to here.”
At that time, the duke, who was measuring each other through a battle of momentum, was the first to blurt out sarcastically.
When Heinz turned out to be more formidable than expected, he seemed completely upset.
“Then let’s help this body feel more comfortable.”
And as soon as those words ended.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
In an instant, a violent explosion erupted between the two.
The Duke pushes forward without hesitation, wielding a bloody polearm that is over 3 meters long, and Heinz slowly retreats as he confronts him.
Dozens of collisions that occurred in a matter of seconds distorted the atmosphere and created aftereffects.
‘As expected, he’s strong.’
Heinz’s brow twitched as he responded to each attack one by one while remaining alert to his surroundings.
It was not his will to step back now.
Of course, there is a penalty of having to pay attention to other areas unlike your opponent.
‘The blow is heavy. To the point of excessiveness.’
It was not simply a matter of state.
Just as you cannot attack with all your might at every moment, there was bound to be an efficient flow and rhythm to projecting power.
However, the Duke ignores all of that and uses all his strength to land straight shots one after another as if he were throwing a jab.
‘And it doesn’t seem like I’m overdoing it or tired. … Is this an ability similar to Isea?’
It felt similar to her bursting out with high-level magic based on her nearly infinite magical power.
An ineffective attack that poured out overwhelming energy.
‘Let me check some more.’
Heinz prepared a counterattack, taking advantage of the opportunity for his opponent to attack.
And at the same time as the Duke’s eyebrows twitched as he felt something—.
Kwaaaaang—!
It bounced back roughly with a loud roar.
Whoa!
Heinz barely stopped, leaving two long lines of footprints on the floor.
However, the Duke, who stood tall in his place, did not continue his attack and just quietly looked down at his body.
The side of the side with a large hole clearly exposed.
“…It’s not just fast. It’s an attack that ignores the intermediate process. “If I let my guard down for a moment, my heart almost got pierced.”
Despite the content of his words, his expression was calm.
Also, as if to prove his attitude, the hole in his side began to slowly heal and was soon completely repaired.
Since it was a wound of Heinz’s stature, it would have taken quite a bit of energy to repair it, but he seemed not to care about that at all.
“Hmm, did you say phantom? Which dimension are you from? …No, there’s no need to listen to it now. “There will be a lot of time in the future anyway.”
He regained his senses in an instant and instead of immediately resuming his attack, he placed the bloody spear on the ground and opened his mouth leisurely.
As if he was trying to show off that an attack like this was nothing to him.
“Hmm.”
Heinz’s eyes narrowed slightly as he saw this.
Unfortunately, contrary to his opponent’s intentions, he had gained some confidence through this attack.
‘I can kind of get a feel for it.’
Certainly, the Duke was the strongest enemy he had ever faced on Earth, except for Lord Buntian.
If he’s at that level, he might be able to put up a pretty good fight against Hans.
but-.
‘good. If I do this, I will be able to eat it without much difficulty.’
His tongue slipped out of his mouth and lightly licked his lips due to the boiling thirst.
There was an additional effect that occurred when Heinz II preyed on all the hardliners of the early clan that had acquired “Mixed-Blood Evolution.”
As a predator, it ignores some of the hostile abilities of other vampires and exerts instinctive intimidation.
It was an extremely useful ability for him, who used predation on his own people as his main means of growth, and was a major contributor to his ability to always have an advantage over his opponents in subsequent fights.
‘And the current situation is no exception.’
Although the heights achieved may be similar to some extent, Heinz was the complete opposite of the duke in the way he achieved his status.
That is karma.
He was the natural enemy not only of the duke, but of all vampires in the world.
Heinz was a ‘predator of his kind’, constantly growing by eating the same vampires.
But things did not go as he wanted.
“Your Excellency the Duke, may we please join you soon?”
“…Of course I know the Duke will win, but it would be a bit unfair to take any more time here.”
“ha ha ha! Let’s finish this quickly and interrogate him! “The doctor must be waiting for you right now!”
When the duke who went first was injured, those who had been watching for a while began to show signs of joining in one by one.
As they were not at an average level, they decided that it was time to really intervene.
“…Tsk, okay. “There is no choice if we want to capture him alive.”
And the duke himself must have felt something uncomfortable as they exchanged the last move, so he pretended that he couldn’t win and accepted their proposal.
From now on, I am truly dealing with everyone here alone.
‘what a waste. If I had just a little more time, I would have been able to finish it clearly if I had just a little bit of time to spare.’
Heinz quenched his appetite as he felt the force of the enemies approaching from all directions.
In the end, should I just leave like this?
With that sacrament right in front of you that seems like it could be reached at any time?
‘…You can’t do that.’
As expected, it was too disappointing to leave like this.
I didn’t know when an opportunity like this would come again, and thinking about the future, I needed stronger strength right away.
‘If you can’t afford it, just make it.’
If there was insufficient power, all you had to do was add more.
Don’t you have the ability to do that?
He quickly selected candidates amidst a barrage of attacks.
‘Except for Hans and Heinrich.’
I was a little reluctant to invite individuals who were active in Korea to this event.
As Heinz was also active in Korea not long ago, it was necessary to avoid revealing the connection between them too blatantly.
‘Then what remains.’
Harley, the ultimate evolved creature, and Harris, the high elf spirit archer.
Which of those two should I call will have a definite effect….
Jjjajajajajak—!
Before his thoughts were even finished.
A sniper shot ripped through space.
Blinking—blinking—
at the same time, eyes sprouting from all directions looked at him and gave him a disgusting wink.
Ugh—!
Beams of light pouring down from the sky like heavy rain chased after him and bombarded him repeatedly.
Evil—
At the same time as the surprise attack of the assassin who appeared out of nowhere, swords, hammers, and fists rained down in succession from all directions.
An unknown energy clung to my limbs, my body became heavy and my hands and feet became dizzy.
“Puh-hu—I don’t like it. I can easily deal with him on my own, but I can’t help it because the Doctor has a favor for me. “Let’s just get it over with quickly.”
Then, the Duke and the vampires under his command, an opponent that can never be easily seen, join in…
‘Oh, this isn’t going to work.’
Heinz, who was struggling to survive in this crazy mess, finally made up his mind.
And…
that moment.
The wind blew.
“hmm?”
“Wait what is this?”
As befits people who have reached a certain level, they reacted sensitively to even small changes.
The space shakes.
The energy is shaking.
The battlefield has changed.
“It’s an intruder!”
“How did you sneak in here…!”
———!
Dozens of flashes of light shot out from somewhere and silently crossed the air, as if to cut off their surprised cries.
However, they did not head to the center of the scene where the commotion was in full swing, but to the outskirts of the forest, far away from here.
Kugugoogung—!
A shock wave came from far away.
At the same time, the continued sniping aimed at the opening stopped.
Numerous eyeballs sprouting everywhere disappeared at once.
The huge magic circle floating in the sky dispersed.
“How dare…!”
“calm down! “Find him first!”
“I will let this body deal with the Phantom!Drakul, disperse and begin the search!”
The Beoncheonhoe gang, who were taken aback by the unexpected situation for a moment, quickly adjusted their posture and began to respond, like veterans who have experienced all kinds of hardships.
but.
The variables did not end there.
Kwazijic—!
A black figure suddenly fell from the tree.
He was in a miserable state with his right arm and right leg torn off.
The assassin, who was squirming in his black night clothes without a single groan, soon stopped moving.
Coooooo—!
As soon as he turned into smoke and disappeared, a huge man holding something in both hands stepped down violently.
“Hehehe!”
Crack!
With a ferocious roar, the man crushed the heads of the two Drakul vampires he was holding in both hands.
The skull burst open as if it had been grabbed by a soft fruit, and blood splattered everywhere.
“…What is that again?”
“Wasn’t it just one guy?!”
With his unconventional appearance, the audience’s attention immediately focused on him.
Transcendent muscles and wild tattoos dotted all over a gigantic body that was well over 2 meters tall.
That being was the very embodiment of violence, as if the word violence had taken on a human form.
‘Okay, if you’re going to do it, you have to do it for sure.’
And in that chaos.
Heinz, who finally had the leisure he had hoped for, regained his appetite.
What did he choose from the two options?
‘They both sing’….
