My Alter Ego's Path to Greatness

Chapter 396

〈 Unknown Threat (2) 〉

Tarak is a big city bustling with people coming and going every day.

Three men and women strolled leisurely along the well-maintained main street in the center.

“...It is exactly as I heard through rumors. “I heard that vampires are on the rise in the West, and I can definitely feel that when I come here.”

High elf Lydia muttered as she looked at the alley next to the main street.

There, several mercenaries who had been wreaking havoc against street vendors had been forcibly brought in and were receiving harsh training.

After that, I will probably be able to be released only after paying a fine for tuition and donating blood.

Lydia looked away from the alley and lifted the butter-roasted corn in her hand to her mouth.

She must have liked that quite a bit, as her green hair, linked to the wind spirit, swayed gently as if dancing under the hood.

“It will have a big impact because it is adjacent to the kingdom of Thalia, where vampires are in power. It is said that they received a lot of help from the kingdom union level. “Also, Tarak, where the headquarters of the Hubert Company is located, is also the city with the most active interaction with vampires.”

As if receiving her words, Ise-ah, who was scanning the surroundings with magical blue eyes, answered quietly.

Holding assorted skewers and a bottle of drink in each hand.

Sip,

sip, sip –

two women moving their eyes in all directions while also moving their mouths diligently.

While continuing to research the city, they were enjoying the special food culture unique to the city.

“...Sea, is that black drink that delicious? “I don’t think it suits me.”

“It’s the best. So much so that I regret why I didn’t stay longer the last time I came. Ah, did you say that this started to spread recently...?”

In response to Lydia’s question, Isea looked down at the drink in one hand with a serious expression.

This was a special menu item that began to be sold at ‘Dancing with Oak’, a famous Tarak restaurant directly managed by Hubert Company – Cola.

‘I heard that Hubert Trading Co. handles products from Earth... but I never thought they could do it like this. ‘What kind of unique skill do you have that makes such large-scale distribution possible?’

She clicked her tongue as she thought about the unidentified awakened person who was probably affiliated with the company.

Of course, these products have not yet become completely popular.

Because the supply is limited, there is a limit to the quantity per person can purchase, and the price is so expensive that it makes your mouth drop.

All I said was that the price of one small bottle of soda was equivalent to a full course meal at a high-end restaurant.

However, such money issues were nothing to Isea Pristine, the great archmage of the Order, the count of the Azerion Empire, and the closest confidant of Princess Riley.

No, considering that you can taste Earth’s culture in this far away world, it could actually be said to be an incredibly cheap price.

‘Ha—I think I’ll buy it. ‘How long has it been since you last had this Coke?’

Lee Se-ah sighed with a relaxed expression and ate her food without realizing it.

The time she spent at Outerica had already been nine years.

Next year will be 10 years since it landed on this earth.

In that situation, when the essence of Earth’s civilization called Cola was transfused into my blood vessels, I began to feel exhilarated, as if my rusty hair had been oiled.

‘I want to buy a lot in advance and stock up, but it’s a shame that there is a limit to the amount I can purchase per day. ‘I wish I could meet the supplier in person sometime.’

If he had this kind of ability, he would be quite high-ranking even at the Hubert Company, the continent’s top business.

His identity will also be completely hidden, so of course it will not be easy to meet him.

Perhaps the store owner, Hubert himself, was an awakened person from Earth.

‘Well, there will be a chance sooner or later.’

It would have been unknown if she had revealed her identity and requested a meeting, but since she was secretly investigating the city as a member of a hero’s party, she could not have a private meeting with the local official.

However, as she was sipping her cola little by little with a regretful heart, a fact suddenly flashed through her mind.

“...Heinrich. Come to think of it, didn’t you say that the Hubert Company also has a close relationship with the Main Church?”

Heinrich, who was leisurely following her a few steps behind, shrugged his shoulders at her question.

He was dressed from head to toe in the ubiquitous full body armor to hide his shining appearance.

“That’s right. We are helping each other in various ways. Above all, it is also the place where Harley was the co-CEO.”

“...That guy was more capable than I thought. “How many gamtu are there?”

He is a member of a deadly force to protect the world, and at the same time, he is the King of the Calcos Tribal Alliance, the king of mercenaries in the mercenary industry, and the co-representative of the Hubert Company, the top company on the continent.

Isea and even Lydia were impressed by the unexpected side of this person who was thought to be a glutton who always laughs.

“Anyway, we can’t make exceptions for anyone now. “Because no one knows what’s inside a person.”

I trust Harley, but I still can’t completely trust the group called Hubert Corporation.

And wasn’t the fact that he was the co-CEO a long time ago?

While he was called up to the death squad and traveled around the world, he couldn’t be sure that his former partner wouldn’t have changed his mind.

“For now, wouldn’t it be most reasonable to be suspicious of those vampires? In fact, until just a few years ago, the perception of them was that they were no different from monsters, right?”

“Well, I did. Until the Vampire King named Heinz appeared, their urge to suck blood was something they could not control. “Lycanthropes, who were treated similarly to vampires, recently attacked our Elven Kingdom and were wiped out.”

After moving to a nearby alley, the mid-term meeting naturally began.

A secret barrier had suddenly formed around them, completely blocking not only internal sounds but also presence.

“ah! Of course, I know that Heinrich was active in accepting them, but... no matter how much the King of Vampires united them all, established discipline, and brought them to the sunny side, there is no perfect control in the world. It could be a vampire who has not yet been reformed and has been living in hiding...”

Of course, Lydia Granwood was not a subordinate to both High Elf Harris and Saint Heinrich, but a colleague, so she could not directly determine their location, but there were many people under her command in this Tarak.

〈Outerica〉 -Hubert

Company – Tarak Headquarters

And after quickly examining the status of other avatars in accelerated time—.

‘found!’

I was finally able to find it.

└Status: Danger (serious injury)

└Status: Confusion and fear

└Status: Fainted

└......

Just look at the status message of those in crisis.

Additionally, the location information they all shared was significant.

└Location: Tarak, County of Aonia, Kingdom of Tulk ??? ?? [View detailed coordinates]

Coordinates are displayed as question marks and do not appear properly.

This was a phenomenon that only occurred when located inside a world where location information overlapped.

‘This is 100%!’

The wings of brilliance spread out on Heinrich’s back glowed again.

Immediately after that, his body fell somewhere like a meteor cutting through the darkness.

Although the exact location was not indicated, he already knew clearly where he was going.

That’s right—.

└Name: Miropa (target of sponsorship from Hubert Corporation)

└Name: Aaron (target of sponsorship from Hubert Corporation)

└Name: Rafi (target of sponsorship from Hubert Corporation)

└......

Most of the names of those involved in this matter are Because I was very used to it.

One of them in particular was someone I saw every day.

└Name: Diana (Secretary of Hubert Company)

In some ways, this girl can be said to have been born with the most unfortunate fate in Outerica.

A human being who, after growing tired of the constant misfortune, is finally able to look to tomorrow with hope.

Heinrich, with a stern expression, crashed into one of the employee quarters of Hubert Corporation.

Before I knew it, I raised a lightsaber like a huge pillar of light from the holy sword I had drawn and used “Space Slash” to cut down everything that stood in my way.

Sigh—

from the sky to a point on the earth.

Everything in the diagonal line where the meteor fell was cut off.

Not only the air, but also sound and light... everything,

even the shallow barriers that divided space and defined one’s own world.

Kwaaaaang—!

The small world collapsed.

At the same time, the everyday scenery that seemed ordinary from the outside changed completely in an instant.

An old woman covered in tattoos who vomited blood and collapsed, a small girl who fainted in her arms, a boy who was crying while embracing them, and citizens trembling in a huddle behind them.

“Saint!”

Lydia, who was standing in front and confronting someone, shouted to welcome him.

I guess I didn’t know it would come so quickly.

Heinrich got down on the ground and slowly got up.

At the same time, the wings of brilliance spread wide as if to encompass the world.

The blazing aura spread in all directions and embraced the wounded.

‘That author is...’

The knight of light who descended on the ground looked at the culprit of this situation with stern eyes.

A young boy standing in front of a girl who had fallen on the floor and glaring at her with a frown as if something had gone wrong.

That face, which appeared to be someone in his early teens, was something Heinrich had seen once before.

Not through reality, but through a montage drawn a long time ago.

“I finally found it. Temiran McClair.”

“Tch! “There are all kinds of bullshit cases like this? Things went wrong and now a saint appears?”

Temiran McClair, a boy vampire who grumbles and spits out harsh words that don’t match his appearance.

He is the only son of Kayla McClair, Vice President of the Republic of Zefia, who disappeared twenty years ago.

He was the second apostle prepared by the god imprisoned in the abyss.
