Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 25

Episode 25 Bang!

“Pfft!”

The recoil from the collision with the great sword made my grip hurt as if it would be torn apart.

But Ronian didn’t even have time to worry about the pain and immediately moved his body and rolled forward.

Huh.

The owner of the great sword that powerfully crossed the air where Ronian had been standing just moments before shouted irritably.

“You’re so good at avoiding it, kid!”

The massive knight, who made a greatsword half the size of an average person’s size look like a long sword, glared and aimed the greatsword again.

“Grill! There’s no time to relax! The situation is strange!”

At that time, Knight Tesron, who was cornering one of the McLane knights through a joint attack with his colleagues, shouted.

“What? Do you think I’m kidding? This kid is not kidding!”

“No kidding! Look behind you!”

“What is he saying now?”

Huh. Huh.

‘What do you mean?’

Although he did not understand the enemy’s words, Ronian took advantage of the momentary pause in the attack to catch his ragged breath.

As he was busy running away from the big knight, he clearly felt that he was not a genius knight, but just a kid who had just awakened.

‘But I can’t lose! It must not collapse here!’

– You have to take on the role of your older brother.

Ronian recalled his father’s voice he heard just before the war.

Even if it wasn’t because of what he said, it was already a very unfavorable battlefield, so there was at least some hope if he could do the part of a knight himself.

Forcing himself to ignore the tingling pain in his grip, Ronian kept his eyes on the large figure called Grill.

‘uh?’

A great sword that suddenly swings backwards at an enemy that turns around with its back to you.

The biggest loophole was visible since the battle against it began.

If he had had any time to spare, he might have suspected it was a trap, but Ronian, who had been on the defensive the whole time, moved instinctively so as not to miss the opportunity that came his way.

Sigh!

The other person’s neck came to mind without even a final scream.

While the person who swung the sword was dumbfounded, something flew out one after another and struck Grill’s headless body, which was rolling on the ground with an aggrieved expression.

Faba Park.

“…arrow?”

The moment Ronian recognizes the unusually short arrow and turns his head.

The arrows also flew at the surrounding knights.

“Iik!”

“What’s this!”

“Everyone watch your back!”

And that only applies to the knights of Tethron.

Although there was no one who made a dramatic twist like Ronian, the MacLine knights who had been one-sidedly pushed took a breather.

The atmosphere in the McLane camp, which had been filled with dark clouds, changed in an instant.

Ronian was able to recognize at once that all of this was thanks to the cavalry visible from afar.

And I also saw a familiar figure leading the unit at the forefront.

“Brother tongue?!”

As he looked at the scene blankly with a complex mixture of surprise, joy, and confusion, an urgent shout brought Ronian back to reality.

“Little Confucius! Come to your senses! Let’s join forces!”

Clashes with the enemy were still continuing behind the scenes.

Sharp metallic sounds and ferocious shouts announced that this was the middle of the battlefield.

“Yep yep!”

When I adjusted my grip to the sword again, I felt pain in my torn hand.

Strangely enough, it didn’t hurt that much.

* * *

“Use. Is this the limit?”

Logan took a deep breath and looked at his crossbow.

A force that has evolved to be more powerful through the 2-star core.

Unlike before, he was able to amplify the elasticity of the weapon, dramatically increasing the range and power of the crossbow.

So I wondered if it would work for the driver, but my hopes were just hopes.

The enemy knights, who couldn’t hide their confusion at first, immediately and easily knocked out the bolts.

We only reaffirmed the fact that, unless the quantity was overwhelming, we could not do anything to the knight with a long-distance projectile weapon.

‘I’m glad I helped Ronian.’

Logan breathed a sigh of relief as he saw the knights moving as if to protect Ronian.

But I couldn’t be satisfied with that.

Because Ronian wasn’t the only one who shouldn’t get hurt.

‘I’m going myself.’

Logan, who was looking at the very center of the battlefield with sparkling eyes, shouted back.

“Kai! Take command!”

“yes?!”

The battle was still in full swing.

Kai wondered if he had heard wrong, but without an answer, Logan raced forward alone.

“Hey!”

“Master Logan!”

Kai screamed in surprise at Logan’s sudden action.

The current mercenary strategy was to unilaterally attack from outside the enemy’s range.

However, the captain was jumping into the enemy in the exact opposite direction of the strategy.

In Kai’s eyes, it looked as if he suddenly wanted to commit suicide the moment victory was just around the corner.

“Damn it! Why?!”

He knew that his employer was a Force user, but considering his age, it would have been difficult to deal with such a powerful knight.

But the incident had already happened and it was up to him to fix it.

“Everyone cover Logan!”

‘I brought victory.’

The mercenary unit’s performance was perfect and all objectives were achieved.

However, there were still important problems that could not be solved with just that.

‘father!’

In my previous life, I had to save my father who had collapsed and became a wreck.

What was the reason for your return?

It was to save the family, to be more precise.

Winning the war and having your family die was a betrayal of the original message.

‘A little faster!’

The horse, strengthened by force and carrying Logan’s will, ran across the battlefield like the wind.

As they rapidly approached the enemy lines, the enemy soldiers were seen panicking at Logan’s sudden charge.

However, even as the camp was disintegrated by the crossbows of the mercenaries, there were some who were overcome by evil.

“That guy is the leader!”

“Let’s catch him at least!”

After being hit by the crossbows of the mercenaries, one of them jumped into range on his own.

Tethron’s venomous archers began shooting their arrows at Logan in unison.

“under!”

Logan, who saw this, swung his sword with great energy and a blur of force erupted around him.

The force was applied to create a thin protective shield.

Although it wasn’t as good as the 2nd circle wizard’s shield that I had experienced in my past life, it was at least a level of defense that could deflect arrows fired by regular archers to some extent.

Logan ran without hesitation, knocking off only the few arrows that penetrated it.

And in an instant, he reached the front of the enemy line and swung his sword.

Sigh!

“Ugh!”

Those around them screamed on behalf of the four soldiers whose heads were blown off in an instant.

“I’ll kill them all!”

As if responding to Logan’s cry, a chorus filled with fear quickly spread to the center of the battlefield.

“It’s a monster!”

“Everyone avoid!”

“Ugh!”

Another messenger descended on the Tethron camp, which was already in chaos due to the crossbows of the mercenaries.

‘A little faster! ‘A little more, a little more!’

“Ugh!”

The battleground of the knights finally appeared in front of Logan, who was sprinting away, cutting down soldiers like straw.

bang! Kwaaaang! bang!

A series of loud explosions erupted, and the knights, moving like lightning, intertwined with each other and swung their swords.

At the beginning of the war, most of the knights who had been charging at each other and targeting the enemy with lance charging abandoned their horses and continued fighting on the ground.

In the duels of knights taking place in complex battlefields, horses actually did not play a large role.

No, on the contrary, there were times when movement was restricted and became a weakness.

As a force user, a knight could move faster and more flexibly than a horse over short distances.

Looking at the still overwhelming number of Tethron knights, Logan gritted his teeth.

‘Goes!’

There was no time to properly check how much power the 2-star core could produce.

However, there was confidence that a completely different level of force could be demonstrated than before.

Therefore, there was no hesitation in Logan’s movements.

“under!”

Heehee!

Logan jumped down from the galloping horse with a slightly darker golden force.

And then he rushed at the knights who were engaged in a fierce battle.

It looked like four enemy knights were chasing two Macline knights.

At the sound of a horse neighing behind him, the Tesron knight who was closest immediately reacted and turned around.

“What kind of guy…”

Fussuk.

Before he could finish his sentence, the knight’s head flew off as if it were a lie.

Through the blood gushing from his cut neck, I could see the expression on my knight’s face filled with surprise.

“Back…”

“What?!”

The two enemy soldiers who sensed something strange reacted at the same time, but the golden greatsword swung without heeding and cut them both apart at once.

Ugh.

Fuhuaak.

Blood poured out like a waterfall from one knight’s torso, which had been cut at an angle, and from the mouth of another knight whose chest was cut deep to the heart.

“Who who…?”

The blood-spewing knight’s eyes were filled with only doubt.

But those eyes never received an answer and lost their light.

Rather, the heart of one of the remaining Tethron knights was also pierced in vain.

And it wasn’t just the enemy knights who froze at the sight Logan had created.

“Your Majesty?”

“How…”

It was a slash and movement of overwhelming power that even a middle-level knight could not show.

His eyes were wide and his mouth was open, as if he had seen a ghost.

However, his frozen, stiff body did not suit a knight on the battlefield.

Logan screamed at that sight.

“You’re not coming to your senses!!”

Logan’s creepy spirit stimulated their nerves.

Only then did the knights raise their swords again and examine the surrounding situation.

The moment the two discovered their colleagues who were in danger like themselves just moments ago and were about to join them, Logan was already charging towards the center of the battlefield.

“Oops!”

“Ugh!”

“Watch your back…!”

There was no need to take his life as surely as the first time.

It has been confirmed that the power of a 2-star force core clearly exceeds that of an average intermediate knight.

The moment Logan became somewhat accustomed to his own power, he focused on increasing his speed of movement rather than making sure to take the enemy’s life.

Still, McLane’s knights were able to secure victory just because he passed by and inflicted wounds that hindered movement.

“Your Majesty?”

The reaction was so uniform that Logan, who was now tired of reacting, steadily ran in one direction, saving only the knights who were in danger.

At the center of the battlefield he was heading to were six knights who had started the battle for the first time but were still moving faster than anyone else and constantly exchanging attacks and defenses.

It was their own space where no one around them dared to approach.

And the moment when Logan finally gets closer to them.

Logan’s body, shining golden light, shortened the space even faster.

* * * I saw Logan appear, but I didn’t have the presence of mind to keep paying attention to the rear.

The combined effort of one advanced knight and four intermediate knights in front of him was an overwhelming task even for Padric.

That’s why he was puzzled by the enemy’s sudden and unreasonably increased speed.

“Hurry!”

As the senior knight Thesron shouted, his complexion changed dramatically, and the enemies’ attacks became bolder.

Those who were trying to take down Padric without suffering as much as possible in a situation where victory was possible, at some point came out as willing to see the end even if they had to take some losses.

‘shit!’

Padric’s movements became more urgent.

visor!

Padric’s sword moved quickly and struck at an angle the javelins and greatswords rushing from side to side.

The process of changing direction with minimal force and using the recoil to strike another long sword was truly the state of a mature senior knight.

In addition, avoiding the long spear attack by twisting his head was an amazing move, even if it was 80% luck.

But the acrobatic evasion stopped there.

Sgak!

Another long sword grazed his forearm, creating a shallow but long wound.

While Padric was flinching, the enemies took a step closer and he instinctively struck with maximum force.

Kwaaaang!

“Sigh!”

The enemies, who were barely able to ward off with force, retreated.

It was an unreasonable blow, but it bought time.

That’s what I thought.

‘Ugh!?’

A guy with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth forced himself into my arms.

He was the enemy’s senior knight who had been harassing Padric from the beginning.

The guy’s face was clearly visible in real time, as if proving that it was an unreasonable move.

“get on!”

“under!”

The short, crossed swords spit out at the same time pierced similar positions.

Fuuuuk.

“You crazy!”

“Cough. Hehe.”

The swords pierced each other’s left sides.

But one person’s face was crumpled and the other person laughed.

‘Why this?!’

And a greatsword and a long spear flew in next to Padrick, who had a crumpled expression.

“profit!”

Fu Chemical!

Whip!

He pulled out the sword that pierced his side and hurriedly stepped back, but in the meantime, Senior Knight Thesron also moved his sword.

Suddenly.

“Ugh!”

The moment Padric staggered, clutching his wide open side, longswords and short spears aimed behind him.

“Sigh!”

It was the worst crisis since the fighting began.

While the sword he swung with gritted teeth deflected the attack from behind, another knight jumped above his head and raised his greatsword in excitement.

Moreover, the remaining one who had lowered his body and dug in was holding a polearm with both hands that were fully drawn back.

Right behind him, a senior knight was seen rushing towards him while coughing up blood.

Attacks that showed every flaw in his body. It seemed like he wasn’t thinking about what was going on.

In a situation where they had the advantage, they took risks, risking the lives of their comrades.

It was something completely unexpected for Padrick.

‘Damn it!’

He grits his teeth and swings his sword with a white, stiff face.

A golden glow came between the six knights crossing each other.

Wow!

The loudest explosion since the war began echoed across the battlefield.
