My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant chapter 251

Kang Hwan-gye (3)

“Hmm, so you’re saying there’s no such thing as a map?”

“Yes, yes! As you can see, in a small mountain range like ours, we can’t have it, and we don’t need it. There are some things that roughly indicate the location of nearby mountain roads or villages, but it’s more like crude graffiti than a map. Yes…”

The bandit leader Hwangrimchaeju Gongpal, who settled in Yanghyeongsan Mountain, quietly stole a cold sweat while cringing.

He had a pretty young man in front of him who looked much younger than himself, but there was nothing left in his heart to look down on the other person.

Bandits were also an extreme occupation in Murim, where it was not uncommon for women who were considered ordinary or children who did not even reach the age of 15 to achieve significant achievements.

Unlike the idiots who sit on a small mountain road and gobble up pennies, the mountain is not very big, but it is only possible to cook wild vegetables.

Even more so, isn’t it the Age of Warring States, when the country that ruled the world collapsed and warlords in the Sedogawa region and armed groups in various places repeatedly came together to unite?

Of course, even Gong-pal was a warrior at the level of a first-class chin-up, but…

‘Monster? …No, is it fresh? sh*t, what kind of lightning is this all of a sudden!’

An incomprehensible being that even he could not dare to fathom was that young man right in front of him.

When the first subordinates brought the pale-looking student, I wondered where these guys had taken the son of a noble house for a ransom.

The style of the clothes he wore was obviously similar to that of a military uniform, but the material and stitching seemed unusual.

‘Damn, I should have noticed when I saw the eyes and ears. These damn bastards! If it was a monster like that, I shouldn’t have told you something sooner!’

It was a failure to pass it on simply because I thought I was a deformed child among the people of Saekmok.

So, before he could properly listen to his subordinates, he went out strong to show his dignity as a leader…

Creepy—

Right after that.

The moment our eyes met that star-shaped pupil filled with boredom.

He could taste the fear he had never even imagined before.

‘Thubeol, I remember that time again…’

Gongpal, who had been politely standing in front of Harris, who was lost in thought alone, gently stroked the goosebumps on his forearm.

A terrifying feeling, as if all things in the world, including the heavens and the earth, were hostile to him and glared at him.

I was proud that I had lived with the mountains as a friend of nature all my life, but at that time, the forest, which was as comfortable as a living room, felt like the stomach of a beast.

And what happened after that was now.

“Hmm… Honam, Honam. Besides, the war is still going on.”

Harris muttered to himself, sitting on a chair covered with animal skins, which was the seat of the ball.

It was a soft voice like a rolling jade ball, just like its appearance, but to Gong-pal, it was the same as King Yeomra’s words.

Afterwards, he had to rack his brains for a long time, butting heads with his men to give Harris the information he wanted.

‘I should have moved elsewhere sooner!’

Until the existence that is different from natural disaster is moderately satisfied and leaves.

***

Whoa-

A person flying across the sky as if he were a bird.

It was Harris who collected the necessary information and went on the road again.

‘Certainly it’s because more than 10 years have passed since the last information was known. It looks like the situation is more serious than we investigated beforehand.’

I already knew that the empire that ruled this land had collapsed and wars had begun in various places, but now it had been going on for more than ten years, and security had deteriorated to a serious level.

Fights, big and small, never ceased at the provincial level as well as at the prefectural level in each region.

‘It’s the same here in Honam.’

At least these days, when quite a bit of time has passed, large-scale all-out wars have not happened so often as in the early days.

Shall we say that in a state where the war situation is roughly fixed, based on small local wars, they are gnawing away at each other’s territory metallurgically?

Among them, the largest forces here in Hunan were the warlord of General Wongang, a member of the military clan, and the Dong Dongsip8chae (洞庭十八寨), a numerical coalition centered on Dong Dong-ho, and the Hyeongsan Faction (衡山派), the representative of the political factions in the region. ) Was

‘It was said that various minor powers clung to each other according to their interests around them. I don’t know how much of a bummer the brutes got a spot among them.’

That’s something you should go and check for yourself.

…Yes, right now, Harris was on his way to Dongdong Lake, which was said to be the home of the 18 Dongdongchae.

There was no particular reason for choosing the destination there.

Just— because it was the closest.

‘I don’t have time, but how long are you messing around on the outskirts? I can run into the big guy and then tear it apart if I need anything!’

In addition, the 18 dongdongchae was a den of thieves, so there was nothing to be stabbed by conscience.

They must have been forcibly collecting money based on their strength, so even if they were robbed, they wouldn’t be able to complain anywhere.

‘Projecting the power of a spirit from another dimension doesn’t reduce its power too much. Is it because of the [Dimensional Barrier Easing] worth 5 million points?’

In addition, Harris’ condition was not 100 percent perfect, but it was much better than initially expected.

Maybe it was because I was away from the World Tree, but the unique indolence that had been filled inside of me had faded quite a bit.

‘Oh? I found another one.’

While crossing the sky for a while like that.

Harris veered towards it at the edge of his senses and fell to the ground.

Whoo-

What caught his eye was a shallow natural cave in a crevice in a cliff.

A place where there are cracks and bumps that you can’t see unless you look carefully.

After getting down there, he naturally stretched out his hand—.

He grabbed the stem of a plant and pulled it straight out.

With just that alone, the human-shaped roots that were pulled out neatly without any resistance were not covered with soil.

“This is the third. Is this one better than the first two combined?”

Harris examined it with a satisfied nod.

This grass root is the so-called elixir, and it was a mystical spirit plant filled with ‘ki’, the energy that flows in this world.

‘Is this the three dolls you’ve been hearing about? That’s interesting. The real roots look like people, don’t they?’

Instead of being basically light and free, there were many spirit creatures in this Kanghwan world where the energy of nature was condensed beyond a certain extent, perhaps because of the characteristics of Ki, which became denser without end when they were united by something.

Things that are hard to find in Auterica, which is based on rather heavy and sticky mana.

This doll ginseng was also a young plant that could hide its own energy because it had spirituality in the subject of plants, but finding them was nothing short of cake for Harris, a high elf who literally felt the nature of the area as if it were his own body.

There are too many, so he skips the ones that he wants to be subtle, and even though he only collects the ones that he wants to be okay, there are already three of them.

‘Maybe it’s because it’s not Yeongsan, so it’s not at the level of great energy.’

Still, this was the extent to which I just gathered things that were on the way.

How many elixirs will be in your hands if you really make up your mind and tour famous sacred mountains in each region…

‘Hmm, I’ll have to remember it and put it into practice whenever I have time.’

All the things he acquired would have a significant impact on his growth.

After that, he summoned Pascal, the spirit of the wind, to create a gust of wind around him, glanced at the ridge on the far side, and then flew up into the sky and shot northward.

Wheein-!

“Huh?! I, that…”

Cheeky!

And on the very ridge that Harris’s gaze had reached.

One of the herbalists who happened to see him slammed his buttock and opened his mouth.

I’ve heard rumors about the great Moorim people, but even in the exaggerated stories, there was no word about a being that freely roamed the sky blowing the wind like that.

More than that, no matter how you look at it, it’s more like a Murim person…

“Poetry, fresh? No, god?”

I didn’t see it for sure because it was gone so quickly, but I remembered the being’s head flashing a brilliant golden light that was so impressive.

As if the sun in the sky had come down to earth.

“… This is not the time!”

In a hurry, the herbalist hurriedly moved to the place where the spirit ascended to heaven and searched the surroundings thoroughly.

It must have been that the Divine Spirit had foretold something earlier.

“Ah!”

Then, he obtained several roots of young plants that Harris had left behind after he judged them to be “Below the standard,” which had grown around them under the influence of the energy driven by the ginseng doll, and prostrated himself on the spot.

“Oh heck! Thank you thank you! God of Heaven and Earth! This is enough to pay for our medicine… Finally, we can save that child… Great!”

An herbalist who climbed a dangerous mountain in order to somehow save his child in a difficult situation.

For some reason, the effectiveness of the herbs collected over the past few years has drastically decreased, so he has a bleak future.

Based on that, he was able to feed not only expensive medicines but also hearty meat soup to his family.

‘It’s an arrival. Indeed, is this Dong Dong Lake? A lake is like an ocean.’

In this way, without the knowledge of the person himself, the story of a divine spirit roaming the sky with a golden halo on his head began to spread.

***

When I decided to send Harris to the strong world.

At first, he was agonizing over what to do to cover up his disparate appearance.

‘Magic tools brought from another world cannot be used in another dimension full of energy of a different nature, unless it is on Earth.’

It was a story that became common knowledge after it became known that the magic tools that rich people had collected for transmission were actually useless in another world.

It also meant that Harris had no way to hide his appearance unless he was using his own abilities.

‘And Harris, a spirit archer, doesn’t have that ability.’

If so, should I wear a mask?

But that alone couldn’t hide the twinkling star-shaped extraordinary pupils.

It’s such a difficult situation.

While I was thinking about it, I suddenly had a question.

‘Why? Does he really need to go into hiding?’

Harris was a master of the Hyungyeong if you were to judge by the standards of a strong man who had reached transcendence, Kang Hwan.

According to a rough preliminary investigation, there are only about 10 people who have reached that level in the present Moorim, even if the number of people living in hiding is generously calculated.

In such a situation… Why do I have to keep my eyes peeled for others?

‘There is no need for that! I have an unusual appearance, but what are they going to do?’

That’s how I was able to act confidently like I do now.

Martial arts style clothes were easily available on Earth, so he showed sincerity to the extent of preparing them.

Whoo-

Currr!

“Keah!”

“Say, save…!”

But now that I’m here, it’s also true that I wonder if it would have been better to find a way to hide somehow.

This unique appearance overlaps with the unusual ability of spirit magic, so it must be…

“Aww—! It’s a monster! A monster has invaded!”

“No, stop! You fools! How long are you going to keep shouting… Kkeuuuk!”

“Hee! How am I supposed to deal with something like that! I can’t even get close!”

“I, Namu Amitabha Buddha… Yo, you monster! Back off!”

It was because the reaction of those who faced this situation was more radical than expected.

Gooh-

Don’t fall—!

An enormous storm engulfed the area around Harris.

Dense clouds that covered the sky, drawn by its gravitational force.

And even a thunderbolt that mixes with it and sends sparks in all directions.

Now, whoever can see him, he is a great yokai with a stormy weather.

‘No, isn’t this a matter of looks?’

Come to think of it, if someone who uses this ability suddenly invades and destroys the stronghold, it seems that that kind of reaction will come out no matter how it looks.

‘Well, I can’t help it now.’

Harris, shrugging his shoulders lightly, looked back at his target.

This is the home of the Eoryongchae, a corner of the Dongdong Twelve Houses.

It was the place where he would be the first sacrifice to Boyle Kang Ho-haeng.
