My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness

< Ken Miyamoto (1) >

The energy of the whole body rushes into both eyes.

At the same time, all senses were focused solely on the eyeballs.

The muscles around my eyes twitched and my nerves became tense.

‘Right. This is it…’

Hela’s orange-colored eyes looked at the enemy in front.

The demon dragon glares at her, boosts his energy and prepares to attack.

Completed attack—even a demonic dragon that pours out magical power that sweeps the entire area at once.

An image of two worlds overlapping into one.

[I am the Demon Dragon Duke—the strongest in the Demon World and soon to become the Demon King! Do you really think I will break down like this?]

Even though the internal injuries were probably not small, it seemed like a lot of effort had been put into the attack, and it was a well-planned attack that was almost impossible to avoid.

However, in a situation where the result was already fully known, it was no different from looking at the answer sheet in advance and responding.

Kiiiiing—

The eyes turned blue.

Immediately after that, time in a certain area froze and everything within it came to a standstill.

Everything from the flow of air and the movement of elements to the flow of magic power that flew in with destructive energy.

Hela calmly slipped out of the gap and gently stuck out her tongue.

‘Is this great? This is the level I have just acquired. If only I could increase my proficiency further…’

Maybe we can really stop the time of that demon dragon.

Transcendence was a state granted to those who went beyond the limitations of existence that defined themselves and established their own realm.

A proof of the highest class that one can impose one’s own laws on the world without being easily swayed by external interference.

Moreover, isn’t that Demon Dragon Duke the one standing at the edge, aiming for semi-divine status?

Naturally, its own resistance to hostile mysteries was also bound to be strong.

‘The effect of the instant death magic eye used on each other has also been halved.’

In fact, at this point it was embarrassing to even call it an ‘instant death’, but it was something that could not be helped.

Not only did both the Demon Dragon and Hella have a high rank and vitality close to immortality, but both could only use the Demon Eye and their proficiency in it could not be considered very high.

‘Even if that’s the case, I just learned it by stealing… The fact that he’s at the same level as me probably means that he hasn’t been able to fully control this power.’

Hela, who had personally used the power of the “Seven Colored Magic Eyes,” could tell.

In fact, the limit of this ability is not the level at which you or the demon dragon used it.

The magical eye of foresight had the potential to foresee the real ‘future’, not just a few seconds, and the magical eye of stillness had the potential to stop the entire time in the area.

And it was the same for other abilities, including the Demon Eye of Extinction.

‘It’s probably a limitation because they only forcibly took away their power and they weren’t the original owners, the Ma’an tribe. From the point it was taken away, it could no longer be grown.’

However, the situation was different for me, who had Demon Eye blood flowing through half of my body.

I had heard about the Demon Eyes from Dream Walker’s godmother, Liliana.

Because of the Demon Dragon Duke, they have fallen to the point where it is difficult to find a single survivor, but they were originally a strong race that was recognized by everyone even in this demon world.

They are born with a single magical eye, and they refine it throughout their lives and strive to overcome the limitations given to them.

Just as the “Magic Eye of Dominance” inherited by Hella exercised control over the world itself beyond specific living entities.

‘Compared to other magical eyes, there is a clear difference. Thanks to using the devil’s eyeball as a medium, he must have inherited some level of mastery.’

However, for other abilities obtained through trickery, I had to start from scratch.

Considering that even the Demon Eyes with a single Demon Eye spent a lifetime refining their abilities, being able to use seven abilities through the “Seven Colored Demon Eyes” was not a very good thing.

Because resources were not concentrated, there was a high possibility that all abilities would remain at a mediocre level.

‘My blood is boiling? After all, eye fighting is an essential element in a battle of abilities! And there are seven of them…!’

Of course, such concerns are limited to general cases.

It was a story that had nothing to do with Hella.

For her, who grew much faster than others thanks to all kinds of growth corrections, the more abilities the better.

Above all, doesn’t she even have 『Elixir of Growth (7 Days) (200,000)』, which is expensive but well worth it!

Moreover, if you think about the potential that his body has as a “demon lord”…

[Ugh—! Don’t be funny! How long do you think you can use that power?]

As if reading her excited mind, the demon dragon roared harshly.

It was definitely not wrong.

Even though it possesses enormous magical power, not only is the energy consumption burdensome, but the mental resources devoted to one activation are also at a level that cannot be ignored.

‘Is it because each one contains its own mystery? It’s not compatible with other abilities, including magic.’

There was a reason why the Demon Dragon Duke, who had obtained the power of the Demon Eyes, did not use it to the fullest extent.

For him, who already possessed powerful abilities even without the Magic Eyes, this ability that could not be further developed was nothing more or less than an auxiliary one.

“Well, you have to try it first to find out, right? Above all, unlike you, I am a properly qualified successor. I understand why you think that if you can’t do it, I will too… Hmm, a little ugly?”

[···Insolent bastard! die!]

The Demon Dragon Duke Crushire is furious and rages as if he has nothing to say due to the ridiculed opinions.

The smile on Hela’s lips grew stronger as she dealt with him.

[······!]

Then at some point.

Suddenly, the demon dragon’s movements stopped.

Then, as if encountering a completely unexpected situation, emotional agitation began to emanate from the face of the vicious dragon.

“what’s the matter? “Did you leave something behind?”

Hela lightly argued with him, but he did not respond.

It was as if he had heard news of a real emergency, and his inability to concentrate on the fight was clearly revealed.

As things went on, Hela’s smile grew deeper and deeper.

“Or something… there was a thief in the house?”

A meaningful word uttered with blatant ridicule.

Immediately after that, the demon dragon’s six wide-open eyes glared at her.

[···you!]

“No matter what, it would be disappointing if you weren’t focused and were preoccupied with something else, right? “He’s a duke in name, but he has very poor manners towards ladies.”

[What on earth have you done, mongrel!]

As if he was in a hurry, more magical power than he had ever emitted from his body burned wildly.

Hela did not fall for such a shallow trick of that guy.

“Uh huh.”

Kiiiiing—

Both of her eyes changed to different colors.

With the orange color of wisdom and the white color of extinction.

At the same time, all means of escape that the Demon Dragon had secretly prepared were completely destroyed.

[······.]

“Where are you going? “You worked so hard to come here, why don’t you hang out with me some more?”

She had no intention of letting go of this wonderful teaching material.

Because my own magical eyes were also growing rapidly as I dealt with him who had the same magical eyes.

And in addition to that…

“Are you going to hang out together?”

That was our goal from the beginning.

[···You vulgar mongrel! You’re making a mess! I will never leave you alone!]

The Demon Dragon Duke spits out his anger harshly, as if he has accepted the fact that he cannot escape through this obstruction.

Her red lips painted a bright smile as she looked at him.

Seeing that he was so happy to see others in trouble seemed like he was a devil who couldn’t help it.

***

The time when Hella and the Demon Dragon Duke were in full swing.

“Then let’s get started.”

Ken Miyamoto slowly relaxed and took steps towards his destination.

Now that the Demon Dragon Duke had vacated his base was the perfect time to start work, so there was no need to hesitate any longer.

‘Of course, not all problems have been solved yet…’

Sodian is a marquis-level demon who does not go to the battlefield and guards this last resort.

She was a level of power that Ken, a count, could not do anything about.

Even if there was a surprise attack, not only would it not cause much damage, but it would actually end up being the enemy’s side.

‘But since I have this guy, things will work out somehow.’

His eyes turned to a three-headed dog the size of a large dog following behind him.

It wasn’t long after he adopted him that he learned about the extraordinary nature of that creature—Davidson.

‘Since Hela sent it, I expected it to be something unusual, but even so, I never thought it would be this bad.’

On the day of sale.

Ken, who brought the cage containing the three-headed dog to his residence, was faced with an absurd situation as soon as he entered the place where outside eyes could not reach.

“what? “How on earth did it come out?”

A three-headed dog calmly opened a cage and came out without even opening it himself.

The guy wandered around the inside of the house as if it were his own house, and then he casually went to the food storage room and started eating the meat inside at random.

“This guy! “You can’t quit!”

Ken, who was staring at Davidson blankly, stopped him and went out.

In fact, the meat here was provided for the welfare of executives and I had no intention of eating it, but I knew that if I didn’t get used to it properly the first time, I would get more tired in the future.

Before he was sent to Outerica, he was one of the people on Earth who loved animals enough to even raise a pet.

‘No matter how much Cerberus is, when he is a pup, he is just a dog with a fierce temper. ···Of course, I heard that its temperament is about 100 times that of the three great hellhounds combined.’

It was not just an animal, but a famous monster in the demon world.

It is impossible to control it with ordinary discipline.

‘Hehe, even if it looks like this, I’ve been raising beagles for over 5 years!’

However, no matter how monster it is, the fact that its root is a canine does not change.

The most important thing in raising canines is to first properly establish the hierarchy.

As the opponent is a monster, it cannot be compared to a normal dog, but it was necessary to make it clear who has the upper hand.

“Uh-huh! “I told you to stop!”

Based on that experience, Ken resolutely stepped forward.

Crunch—chunk—chunk—

“Ka-heung~ keuhung~”

“Kkakakat!”

···I was cruelly defeated in the battle for rank.

To a beast that only reaches up to his waist.

“Ugh! “What, this…”

He, crumpled and lying around, struggled to raise his head and look at the winner.

Is it because he has his head down on the floor?

As he continued to eat calmly, as if he had developed an appetite thanks to the light exercise, the name tag ‘Davidson’ on his chest caught his attention.

“···Yes, I lost.”

He eventually admitted defeat and lowered his head.

Well, since it’s such a monster, it must have been sent by Hella herself.

Only then did I fully understand what Frances had said.

‘At this level, I think I can easily deal with a Marquis-level Jeong. It will definitely help get things going.’

It was natural to treat the other person as he or she was after confirming his or her skill level.

A three-headed dog with the strength of a marquis!

At that level, it’s just a baby on the outside, and wouldn’t it be an exaggeration to say that now that Duke Goerang is dead, he’s the strongest Cerberus in existence?

‘Let’s not worry about the little things. For now, all I can think about is completing my goal.’

Of course, it hurt my pride a little to be completely pushed out of the rankings and even have my bed taken away by that guy.

As he walked around making a regretful noise to replenish the food of the guy who had devoured all the meat in an instant, a strange image was created around him for no reason!

‘But that kind of life ends today.’

Finally, the day of departure dawned.

Ken leads Davidson following him… No.

I headed to the underground ceremony hall with my superior, who walked arrogantly and putting himself in front of me.

“Fuheung! It’s Ken. But after that… huh? Could it be Cerberus?”

“okay. I got it as a gift from a guy who came to me a while ago and said he wanted to pay off a debt. “Is there any problem?”

“Phew—you are the only one permitted to enter. “The guy behind you can’t go in.”

A large gatekeeper guarding the passage leading to the target location, a viscount-level demon resembling a Minotaur, continued to snort.

Although he was very intelligent, he had strong perseverance and his combat power was not much inferior to that of a level higher, so he was a demon tribe that was used for such things.

“Isn’t it a bit strange that it looks like that? “I’ve seen Cerberus a few times, but this one… uh, what should I say…”

“That’s why it’s good. “Isn’t it common sense that the rarer it is, the more valuable it is?”

“Sniff! Common sense. It did.”

“And this guy didn’t come from the demon race. “I brought it as a gift to Sodian.”

“Fuheung! gift? If it’s a gift… But he’s alive?”

“If anything, it can be used as a sacrifice. Don’t you know that much? A living sacrifice is more effective than a dead one. “There must have been more than one living sacrifice that went into there so far, right?”

“···Indeed, if it is a sacrifice, there is no problem even if it is alive.”

The huge gatekeeper slowly nodded and opened the way.

We just blocked it for procedural reasons, and anyway, it’s just a baby Cerberus and won’t cause any major problems.

If even the feces and urine are improperly covered in this, wouldn’t it be immediately slaughtered and turned into a sacrifice?

‘Good, the first button was safely inserted.’

So Ken and Davidson headed smoothly into the ceremony hall.

There were various crime prevention devices in the middle of the passage, but they were not enough to stop Ken, who had already received official permission and had been in and out of this place several times.

“···question. What brings you here, Ken? And the thing behind it… is it a mutant Cerberus?”

“Ah, Sodian.”

And finally, we meet the marquis-level demon Sodian.

She, who was still speaking strangely, looked at them with an expressionless face.

Ken swallowed his saliva quietly.

All preparations have already been completed.

Not only on-site investigation and internal operations, but also securing an escape route after everything is done and delivering emergency information in case of emergency.

‘Whew, thank you, Davidson.’

But before all that, the most important thing was to overcome the devil in front of me.

If that top condition is not met, the rest of the operation will fail before it can even begin.

“I thought Sodian would like this. Haha, I meant to ask you to look after me in the future…”

“check. For such a trivial reason…”

And Davidson.

It was a body that never once disappointed its clients in these missions.

For a moment, her gaze returned to Ken.

The three heads that blinked with innocent expressions suddenly became huge…

“······?!”

Kwagwagwagwagwang!

In an instant, the space inside was swept away.
