My Alter Ego's Path to Greatness

Chapter 409

Temple of the Demon World (3)

The limp body shakes violently.

It felt like he was going to get nauseous from the worst ride that turned his stomach to the point of dizzying, but Ken Miyamoto closed his eyes tightly and forced himself to swallow it down.

He didn’t know what his harsh boss would do if he really said something here.

“Huh huh... huh.”

“Brother, are you okay? “Can you still hold on?”

“Kahaha! If you can’t stand it, tell me in advance! “I’ll make it easier for you to vomit!”

A cheerful voice spoke to him as he forced himself to control his breathing.

At first, it was a three-headed dog that was only about the size of a large dog.

Davidson was now big enough to carry him on his back when he was fully stretched out, but Ken didn’t even have time to point out his opponent’s suddenly changed size.

‘...comfortable? How on earth do you do that?’

In the midst of being shaken inside and out of my body and losing my mind, only useless thoughts come to mind, as if trying to catch the other person’s words.

Of course, I couldn’t bear to ask because I was afraid of the answer I would get.

“...Ugh, I think I’m going to die. Damn, what kind of disaster is this all of a sudden...”

Those words, muttered as if in pain, contained complex emotions that even he was not aware of.

Well, it has to be that way.

Was the truth he encountered when he came here so shocking?

I was fully prepared when I decided to infiltrate this place to help Hela, but who would have guessed that I would face not only the secret of the Demon Dragon Duke, but also the secret of my own birth.

It turned out that he, who had been believed to be from Earth until now, was not the real ‘Ken Miyamoto’, but was merely a copying ritual derived from his unique skills!

It was strange that I wasn’t shocked when I found out that not only was that terrible curse mixed in with it, but that this body also belonged to that bastard.

‘...Well, it doesn’t really change anything when you become a devil anyway. ‘I had long since given up on returning to Earth.’

Still, the confusion about him did not last long, perhaps because he had become a demon with a different way of thinking from humans in the first place.

Right now, I was busy just concentrating my mind as much as possible and holding on so as not to be eaten by the curse.

Grumble—Kwaang!

So I had no choice but to be late in noticing it.

A strange being, unknown when it appeared, was fighting against the curse that was chasing after it.

“...That?”

At first, I thought I had seen something wrong.

That’s right... No matter how you look at that appearance and ability, don’t they look very incompatible with this worldview?

“Ah, man?”

It seems that the shock of the secret of his birth was greater than he thought.

But soon he realized that it was not a hallucination.

Upon closer inspection, it appeared that the design was similar at first glance, but was completely different from the design he was familiar with.

The fact that one arm is exposed is also the same.

‘Is it a magic tool? But it’s not average. Plus this feeling... verb magic? It feels different from the Demon Dragon Duke. It seems to be the work of another dragon.’

I was taken aback by the familiar appearance I suddenly encountered, but when I thought about it, it wasn’t that strange that the designs were similar.

The person from Earth who came to Outerica is... no, Ken Miyamoto is not the only one.

It was quite possible for someone to pass on information about Earth’s heroes and create magic tools based on that information.

‘Even so... what the dragons of this world made is definitely different. I heard that things made on Earth cannot be used in real life due to material problems.’

Ken, who was staring blankly at the scene, burst out in admiration.

Boosters ejected from various parts of the fuselage allow it to move freely through the air, exceeding the speed of sound, and the beam emitted from its left hand is reminiscent of the destruction ray used by a high-ranking wizard.

No matter how you look at it, it was a ‘real’ combat suit.

Just by wearing it, you can deal with extreme levels without difficulty.

‘...But it’s unreasonable to rub against that monster at that level.’

Ken, who had been carrying Davidson on his back and just turned his head to look at him, slightly shook his head.

What happened next was as he expected.

The hero, who seemed to be holding up quite well, allowed one attack, then stumbled and soon began to run away with all his might.

‘You’re still alive after being hit by that? The pilot seems to be greater than I thought. ‘Who the hell is this?’

He could feel his connection to the curse.

That black fog is a disaster that even a peacock-level evil cannot touch.

I don’t know how he came to this secret place and pretended to be a hero, but he wasn’t a being that could be dealt with with that level of ability.

‘Hmm, I may be reaching my limit now....’

However.

It was then that something strange happened.

“uh?”

Ken, who was embarrassed, let out a single word without realizing it.

At the same time, the hero suddenly stopped and turned around to face the curse that had been chasing him.

Clunk – Clunk –

The soft sound of chains reached Ken’s ears.

No, that wasn’t a sound I heard.

An unknown sound resounding in your head... in your heart... in your soul.

“What is this...?”

He couldn’t help but be truly embarrassed.

I knew it instinctively.

《The entity has met the conditions and achieved enlightenment. Acquire the special skills 「Dark Soul Ministry」 and 「Dark Soul Release」》

《The erosion of the cursed dark soul begins. When erosion reaches a certain level, the control of the contract is reversed.》

《Current physical erosion rate: 7% / Mental erosion rate: 0%》

Hesperon smiled bitterly as he massaged his stiff right hand.

‘I won’t be able to suppress this as easily as before.’

There was no doubt that I had become stronger than before, just as I had planned.

The curse ‘Dark Soul’ that resided in this right arm was a fatal force that could cause death even to those who had reached transcendence.

Perhaps just liberating it would be enough to turn the surrounding area into a cursed land.

“Uhm, I guess this isn’t going to work.”

However, it was inevitable that management became more difficult.

There is no need to worry about mental erosion since you have the “Mind Herb” and “Soul Firewall”, but physical erosion is a different story.

He frowned as he saw little black stains forming on the sealing bandage around his arm again.

It looks okay right now, but if you just leave it like this, someday you’ll end up with a big problem.

‘I’ll have to make a special seal as soon as possible. ‘I will use every means at my disposal.’

There was no problem as we had enough manpower.

Not only did he have an immortal king and a saint, but he also had a high elf demon king dragon and a dwarf who was a master craftsman.

‘Hmm, I guess I’ll have to mix the seal of the demon with Horus’s “Heavenly Way Magic”. Even Dark Souls won’t be resistant to Kang Hwan-gye’s magic, so it will be quite helpful.’

The necessary materials were supplied through Hubert and Karma stores, and if necessary, help could be obtained from Crown Princess Riley and Saint Riesta.

In addition, he could freely use the by-products of the World Tree and the treasures of the “Treasure of Gold”, so there were virtually no restrictions on him.

“Then I took everything I needed to take care of.”

Hesperon glanced away.

A huge temple that looks like it was built by giants, and a place quite far away from where you are.

There, Davidson the three-headed dog and Ken the devil were quietly looking at us.

‘Because I just happened to give you the help you needed—.’

Let’s go now.

He raised his eyebrows from inside his suit helmet.

I had no intention of joining here and doing anything.

He was an uninvited guest who only saw a curse and rushed over.

‘I told him to take care of the rest. I have to go back quickly and make a new seal.’

The unidentified hero took care of only what he needed and disappeared without even looking back.

Quietly, without making a sound or rumor, just like when I came.

***

“...What the hell happened?”

Ken muttered blankly, as if it was absurd.

I checked it several times just in case, but it was clear.

It really just went away like that!

“No, you’re really going to just leave without saying anything? “Are you really a secret hero or something?”

He pounded his chest in frustration and ruffled his hair.

I thought he would at least make a clear statement, but I never expected him to come out like that.

There are a lot of things I want to ask, such as what his true identity is, how he entered this temple, what the purpose of his help was, who made the suit, what the chain was that bound his soul, and what happened to the curse of the demon king that swallowed him up!

‘Rather than that, how did we get out of here? ‘You won’t be able to get out of this temple that easily.’

No waves of spatial movement were detected.

Literally, existence itself has completely disappeared from this place.

There was only one thing I could think of that could make this happen.

‘Unique skill... Was he an awakened person after all? Ever since I saw that suit and the oriental dragon, I’ve wondered about it.’

The dragon of Outerica was a typical Western dragon.

Naturally, to Ken, who had Japanese memories, the black flame dragon that the hero was handling could not help but seem foreign.

‘...I’m jealous. Not only does it have the power to seal that terrible curse, but the dragon even has the fate to make such a suit himself. I’m sure I’ll live a happy life even when I return to Earth.’

Even though he looks like this.

Not only was he kidnapped to the demon world and sacrificed, but he was also a clone and an artificially created devil who only inherited the memories.

Ken, who was able to look back on his situation calmly thanks to the disappearance of the curse that shook his mind, smiled bitterly.

“ah! “Now that I think about it, what about those Earthlings?”

Then Ken, lost in his thoughts, shouted to those who had been sacrificed.

His body was there too!

I was so distracted from the moment the black fog appeared that I completely forgot about it until now.

“Do you understand that now? Let’s go quickly.”

“I think it will be okay because I got out of there before that guy got close...”

“Since they were sacrificed to Dafa, there must be some safety measures in place.”

Ken and Davidson hurried to the first place they headed to.

And what he encountered there.

“.......”

“.......”

The man looks at himself with his eyes straight open, as if he has come to his senses.

It was the real Ken Miyamoto.
