My Alter Ego’S Path To Greatness Chapter 432
Licorice (2)
Near the top of a mountain in Bangladesh.
A man wearing a ghillie suit disguised as a bush lay face down and took a deep breath.
Then, he put his eyes to the telescopic sight of the large sniper rifle in his hand and put his supernatural ability to use.
‘There you are.’
A spirit that moves as if it is being sucked beyond the scope.
It continued to a place that could not be properly observed even with the highest magnification scope, and soon it clearly illuminated a place about ten kilometers away.
Rumbling—Kwagwang!
It wasn’t just something you could see with your eyes.
The sounds coming from that place were also conveyed to him as if he were actually there.
‘Is it already over?’
A building collapsing with a loud noise and smoke billowing out.
The area around it was completely devastated, as if it had been bombed.
And the sniper was able to find the target he had come all the way to slowly walk out of the middle of it.
‘What a monster.’
It hasn’t been long since I heard that it was approaching the base.
Thanks to waiting in advance, it didn’t take long for all the preparations to be completed, but is it possible that everything was already done?
“Whoa.”
He took deep breaths to control his heartbeat, which was starting to beat violently due to the agitation, and calmed down again.
For a sniper, excitement was like poison.
“Target captured. “I will get to work right away.”
[Are you sure it’s okay? This guy is dangerous. So far, none of the warriors who have set out to eliminate him have come back unscathed.]
“Ha! No matter what, it’s just a living thing. “If life activity stops, death is the same.”
He communicated with the person he was connected to through telepathy and took out something the size of his palm from inside his arms.
A large bullet with golden patterns densely inlaid on a fuselage with a strange black luster.
The sniper, who was quietly looking at an object that should have been called a grenade, slowly pushed it into the large sniper rifle in his hand.
Of course, that gun was by no means an ordinary item.
‘The Gigant Slayer who has destroyed countless buildings-sized giants. And it is an instant-kill bullet of the highest purity that can kill even giant champions. ‘Can you really endure this?’
Because the materials needed to make it were so rare and the process was difficult, bullets of this purity were something he often used only in really important situations, even at his level of origin.
These are rare objects that somehow allowed humans to establish their own territory even amidst the waves of giants that covered the world.
And the sniper was a hero who saved the country by sniping the giant champion, who was called a feared being.
He looked through the telescopic sight again and checked the target.
‘…It’s an incredibly intimidating feeling. Even though it is only observed from this distance.’
The target point is about ten kilometers away.
There was a large man sauntering out, leaving the completely destroyed building behind.
A being who calls himself ‘Saja Mask’.
The naked upper body was filled with muscles that took your breath away just by looking at it, and tattoos that doubled its ferocity decorated it.
Add to that the head of an unknown beast on its head.
His appearance with the collapsed building in the background made it feel like the incarnation of destruction had appeared on earth.
‘…Maybe it really will fail.’
Even he, who had gone through all kinds of chaos, couldn’t help but feel that way.
But that didn’t mean I had any intention of quitting my job now.
The location where he is now is more than ten kilometers away from the target point.
Because he had the confidence to get out before the guy got here. My
heartbeat
slowly slowed down.
At the same time, information about the target point began to feel more clear.
Starting from temperature and humidity to atmospheric flow and target movement.
And finally, the moment when the sniper’s heart completely stopped.
A bullet was fired from a gun strengthened by his supernatural ability.
Likewise, it took less than a second for the bullet affected by this ability to reach its target point.
Throwing a blow—
the body of the lion mask swayed along with the shock wave.
The upper body is fully tilted as if it will fall backwards due to a strong external force.
Because of that, it wasn’t visible clearly, but the sniper was confident.
‘You got hit!’
His sniper shot hit his target directly in the head.
Once you hit it, it’s over.
The power of instant death, which spreads around the brain, one of the most important organs in the human body, will immediately permeate the entire body, and then no matter how close to immortal the regenerative power is,…
“Huh?”
But that thought didn’t last long.
I see him slowly letting go of his tension and sighing.
Because the target was seen slowly raising his bent upper body.
Crack-crack–
a bullet that he was very familiar with.
Holding it between the teeth visible under the beast mask and chewing it gently.
A pair of luminous Odd Eyes looked exactly in his direction.
A cold chill ran down the sniper’s spine as he felt like his gaze was meeting her, even though it was obviously impossible for them to make eye contact.
“…Operation failed. “The location has been discovered.”
[shit! Leave immediately! This guy is a monster. At that distance, it would reach where you are…]
A series of loud noises were heard through the telepathy, but the sniper had no time to pay attention to them.
‘You stopped that? ‘By biting it with your teeth too?’
A bullet suddenly fired from more than ten kilometers away flew at a speed exceeding 30 times the speed of sound?
The destructive power contained therein would be enough to pierce even a chunk of titanium alloy like a piece of paper, but where did all that enormous energy go?
But regardless of the confusion, his body had already completed all preparations.
In an instant, he stored all his equipment in sub-space and stood up.
Then, he activated the special jetpack on his back and glanced in the direction of his target.
‘It was a monster that went much further than I thought. I can’t help it. I’ll just step back… huh?’
The moment when green light filled his vision.
Phew!
His thoughts went completely dark.
[…#%$@$?!]
A telepathic signal connected from somewhere urgently called him, but it could not be maintained for long and he had no choice but to disperse.
A corpse with no head could not receive telepathy.

“Sniff! Was it right?”
Harley, who was in a cool pitching form and with his eyes wide open, scratched the back of his head.
It was good that I spit out the metal piece I had been chewing on in my mouth and threw it with all my might, but because the distance was so far, I wasn’t sure whether I would hit the target or not.
“You guessed it right? “I made it go back to where it came from.”
“Jewel Eye: Coercion”, which manifests mystery by manipulating the surrounding energy.
It was a power that was difficult to use on Earth, where there was no special energy, but because the energy contained in the bullet was so great, it was easier to use it in reverse.
By chewing so hard, I crushed all the qualities that existed before.
‘Anyway, this is the last time, and the income is not as good as I thought. After all, they are quick to react.’
Harley, who was walking in the direction the sniper shot came from to check the result, rubbed her chin.
He was currently touring Southeast Asia, destroying the remaining branches of Beoncheonhoe one by one.
Unlike other avatars who are engaged in productive activities, all he can do is smash things, right?
So, I was visiting them one by one, starting from the places where their locations were revealed…
‘Anyway, they are the ones who run away and hide.’
Most branches had long since withdrawn.
Most of those who remained were just chaff and were used like bait and thrown away.
As expected, in order to properly eradicate them, it seemed necessary to hit them head first.
An entity that determines the overall course of action of the Buncheonhoe above the branch heads in charge of each region.
‘Oracle…’
Harley’s gaze turned to the west.
Although it is adjacent to Bangladesh, it is a large country with the largest population in the world.
To where India is.
“Tsk, anyway, everything that needs to be done right now is done… what do I do now?”
There was no need to rush back right away.
Unlike other avatars, his status was only symbolic and did not necessarily require him to do anything.
He had already disappeared and returned unexpectedly several times, and his acquaintances were also wondering if he would do the same.
“…Well then, should I try a part-time job for a while?”
He was quietly lost in thought and smiled.
Isn’t there one agenda item you are most concerned about right now?
‘If you want to be sure, it would be better to watch from the side.’
It felt a little excessive to involve Harley in such a task, but it didn’t matter since there was no work to do anyway.
You can think of it as inspecting the area you have protected so far in order to prevent accidents caused by terrorism.
“Khaha! “Then, where should I go… Well, first of all, I have to check where the sniper shot came from.”
And after some time.
The image of Harley, who had taken care of the unexpected surprise gifts that had been neglected after losing their owners, disappeared as if washed away.

“What the hell is this….”
Jin So-ran, whose eyes were twitching, could not bear to continue speaking and only muttered.
As I had once seriously pursued this path, I was able to immediately realize how great the song I was listening to was.
“How is it? “This is much better than the previous one, right?”
“Is it better? “This is just better…!”
As the melody was still ringing in her ears, she answered loudly without realizing it, but then closed her mouth.
Lee Seong, who had run away for a while, returned and suddenly realized who the person in front of him was.
‘Where on earth did this come from? And that in such a short period of time? Was it already complete? But this…’
Jin So-ran, with a confused expression, looked blankly at Heinz.
Then, she looked down at the magic tool in her hand and looked back at him several times.
It was by no means her fault for showing off like this.
‘how? It’s like… ‘It seems like it’s perfect for our kids’ voices!’
He had a stern expression on his face the whole time after playing the recorded song to Heinz, and this was the magic tool he showed up a few hours later and threw to me.
A magic tool with voice recording and playback functions.
As there was an alternative called a recorder, it was not a very popular product among Howard Industries products.
It is not without demand because it can be used in environments where electronic devices do not work, such as radio interference or EMP.
But the problem was the music contained within it.
‘Ha, this is really….’
A beautiful melody that doesn’t seem to belong to Inse, flowing along a cheerful K-pop rhythm.
But there was a darkness inside that could not be hidden.
A shadow that exists behind a bright musical image that sings of hope.
In the sweet scent of blood that I felt softly just by listening to music, a fatal temptation reached out to me that I could not resist even though I knew it was dangerous.
Like the temptation of a beautiful vampire.
‘Is it possible to express this through playing alone?’
Jin So-ran swallowed dry saliva.
It was not simply an emphasis on decadence.
So that it would not feel burdensome, it was based on a carefully coordinated design so that it could be easily absorbed by people of all ages and genders, regardless of nationality.
‘This is it. ‘This is the only one suitable as Licorice’s debut song.’
The song I had previously prepared had already completely disappeared from my mind.
Since it was a song that I paid a lot of money for from a famous composer, I thought it wouldn’t be that far behind if compared to the song that was ranked #1 on the domestic music charts right away… but
now I couldn’t even compare it to this.
“Who is it?! Who on earth makes a song like this! iced coffee! If I had known that such a composer existed, I wouldn’t have wasted my time. As expected, you are loaded! As expected, I still have a long way to go. Could you please introduce me to this person? “I want to entrust you with other songs as well…”
Her face was flushed and she constantly radiated excitement.
Heinz took a step back and slowly stroked her chin while waiting for her to calm down.
‘The effect is better than expected? Well, since Jin So-ran is also a vampire, it would have been easier to sympathize with the song.’
This new song did not simply contain Elven Kingdom’s musical tendencies.
As the understanding of Earth’s music was already based on the previous cultural invasion, it was not difficult to remove the differences between them and integrate them into one during the composition process.
In addition, Harris, who can feel the temperament of Heinz II whenever he wants to, led the entire process…
“Well, since I have never done any external activities, I have no choice but to know. “I only do composition as a hobby, so it would be difficult to entrust it to me as a separate task.”
It wasn’t that strange that a song like this came out in just one day.
“…Whew, I was so excited. I think he’s an acquaintance of Lorde’s… Ah, then what should the composer’s name be?”
Jin So-ran seemed to have noticed something in Heinz’s reluctance to explain in detail and asked carefully.
Of course, he had no intention of taking on a separate task and had no intention of hiding his identity, so he answered casually.
“Harris.”
“Harris… are you?”
“Yes, it’s Harris.”
It was the moment when Harris, a faceless genius composer who advocated mysticism, made his debut on Earth.
***
Everyone had to be busy as the most important song in their debut was changed.
Naturally, the members of Licorice were treated more harshly than before, but no one was dissatisfied with that fact.
Because they were already immersed in the changed song from the moment they heard it.
“Hmm, do you think it would be better to turn my arms wider here?”
“sister! “Let’s guess again.”
“Yeah, that would be a good idea.”
Unlike previous songs where you had to force yourself to fit in, this is a song that fits you like a custom suit.
There was nothing lacking or excess.
All you had to do was sing happily the way you wanted and everything would come together harmoniously, so there was no need to stress about learning the song from scratch.
“Shooting is over! Move quickly! “I’m editing it right away, so I have to finish the rest by today!”
“what? Reservations are backlogged? Then give me double the money… no, just give me whatever I ask for! If that doesn’t work, tell me. “I will talk separately with previous reservation holders.”
Since Heinz, the owner of the clan, personally took the lead, everything proceeded quickly as if sailing on a favorable wind.
There was no way there would be any blockage in mobilizing all kinds of connections and pouring in unlimited talent and money.
The quality, which was bound to decline due to time limitations, was covered by overwhelming financial power.
“okay! Thank you for your effort!”
“Whoa, good. “Check carefully to make sure you haven’t missed anything!”
So time passes.
One day when D-Day was just around the corner.
One additional manager was assigned to the Licorice team.
Even though he was a new employee, he was given the title of manager.
It was clear to anyone that it was a parachute greeting, but no one expressed any dissatisfaction with it.
“Hahaha! Nice to meet you! “You can call me Director Hal.”
“What are you going to do?”
“A risk! My pronunciation is poor. “This is Director Ha. Please take good care of me in the future!”
Wearing a bursting suit that covers his rugged, muscular body and pitch-black sunglasses.
Because no one had anything to say to the new recruit who looked more like a gangster than a manager.
