Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 282
Episode 282 A night filled with heavy silence.
Hehehe.
A ray of wind seeped in through the slightly open window.
It was a common winter wind, but Logan felt a slight movement within it and shouted lowly.
“come!”
As soon as Eilen nodded with a questioning expression, two black-painted daggers suddenly appeared above her head.
Eilen’s eyes widened.
Valid!
As Logan’s auror drew a golden line and deflected the daggers, the attackers disappeared without a trace again.
It was a stealth technique that you couldn’t believe even when you saw it with your own eyes.
“I can feel the presence of an attack! Maximize your senses!”
I shouted as calmly as I could, but Logan was equally embarrassed.
‘It clearly looked like a Force blade… Can it withstand the auror?’
The guys, who normally couldn’t move properly because their insides were so shaken, were still moving around using stealth techniques.
For now, I could only guess that their black force blades were traces of special magic or vision.
Additionally, there were factors that further distracted the mind.
‘Why is Victor…?’
Was it really a ghost attacking me?
Instead of the customary guard, the two highest-ranking knights, Victor and Jorge, were assigned to take turns guarding the castle. If they were really those ghosts, articles below the highest level wouldn’t be of any help.
However, even though there was such a commotion now, Victor’s reaction was strangely delayed.
‘It couldn’t have happened already, right?’
Logan gritted his teeth with an ominous premonition, and a dagger popped out again around him.
bang!
I suddenly came to my senses and tried to hurriedly block it, but before that, I saw a bluish sword body striking out daggers at the same time. It was Eilen’s favorite sword, Frigus.
Although he succeeded in blocking it, Eilen’s expression when he regained his stance was not so good.
“It’s strong.”
A brief impression.
It seemed that deflecting the aura was not just an expedient method.
Eilen, who has reached the pinnacle of even the highest level and has surpassed the level of a superhuman, only managed to block two attacks and his complexion changed. Even….
‘Those who can’t be seen move quickly.’
I can definitely feel its presence, but there is nothing that bothers me visually or hearing.
I don’t know if it was magic or a technique using the Force, but they were definitely amazing in terms of technology that disrupted vision.
So much so that the rumor from his past life that he killed a superhuman was immediately understandable.
but.
‘I just need to use more strength.’
As he focused his attention, Logan’s energy expanded beyond the radius of the bedroom to completely cover about 30 meters in all directions.
Although it was significantly less than the maximal sensory area, which focuses all of one’s capabilities on sensation during sleep and left control to the unconscious, it was a strangely wide range of sensory area that the teacher was astonished by just that.
And only then did I feel the presence of Victor hiding outside the door.
It was fortunate that it hadn’t happened already, but…
‘There was this mess, and this bastard… Ah?!’
In a moment of intuition, a thin golden line hit the bedroom wall.
And at that moment, the transparent wall that widely surrounded the room broke, leaving behind only a beam of blue light, and the sound of insects outside the window began to be heard.
“Hurry!”
A stern voice came out from among the enemies who had not even screamed.
“your majesty!”
At the same time, Victor broke through the door and came in, flashing his gray Force Blade.
“It’s too late, you bastard! Take advantage of the opportunity when they attack!”
At those words, Viktor seemed to be taken aback for a moment, but when the black dagger that appeared behind his back split his armor, he began to move with a bright look in his eyes.
‘Two for Viktor, three for Eilen. Everything else is me.’
In general, even a superhuman would definitely be a difficult opponent, but it was not a problem for Logan, who was fully aware of the enemy’s movements.
Flashing.
Skag.
Logan’s whip auror blade precisely found the enemy and dug in.
It was an attack no less than their stealth technique in that the direction was unpredictable.
Flashing.
Skag.
Push shoo shoo.
An enemy, or rather a corpse, appeared in the air again.
They still didn’t scream, but I could feel their movements becoming more urgent.
‘Okay, it’s full of loopholes.’
Logan’s golden auror, swimming like a snake, began producing corpses(?) one after another.
However, the enemy was not easily defeated.
In an instant, the presence seemed to disappear, and black daggers came out from all directions.
‘Ugh!?’
In addition, for an instant, a foreign energy poured over Logan’s body and began to bind him.
Unexpectedly powerful magic.
Although it was only for a moment, it was enough force to stop Logan’s movements.
And at that moment, the black force blades emitted from the black daggers grew longer and deeper and dug into Logan’s body.
Kwaaaaang!
“her!?”
Immediately after the collision, a brief exclamation erupted from the attackers who had not screamed a word.
Just as their attack was about to hit him directly, Logan’s golden whip-like Auror Blade completely wrapped his entire body.
The five assassins who got thrown out there staggered and appeared, unable to maintain their stealth skills.
It seemed like the typical symptoms of Force users who encountered aurors had finally appeared.
And Logan didn’t miss them.
Flashing.
Fuuuuk.
Ugh.
The golden auror blade, moving in a zigzag motion, pierced the necks of five people.
“Turn it off.”
The moment one of them poured out the blood fountain, the atmosphere in the room changed completely.
“Sigh!”
Eilen, who was frantically dealing with the three assassins whose swords were revealed only before an invisible attack, felt a change in the atmosphere as soon as their attacks stopped.
The evil creatures that dominated the space have clearly decreased.
It was the same with Victor.
“Tch! Your Majesty! They’re running away…!”
Eilen and Viktor had no choice but to perceive it that way, but Logan felt differently.
“yet!!”
He could feel the remaining five men caught in his sensory sphere throwing themselves at him with their bare bodies, as if they had given up resistance.
Thinking about that desperate gesture and the momentary decline in his life, it seemed as if he was just giving up and committing suicide, but Logan remembered the end of their advance team (?) a month ago.
Wow.
Fuuuuk.
Now, the whip blade, which moves as soon as the will is applied, draws a golden circle and catches the bodies of the five who are charging in as if they are surrounding them.
And before their corpses swell red.
“go away!”
With Logan yelling, the body was thrown out the window.
Wow!
Rumbling.
Perhaps because several people exploded at the same time, the palace building could be felt slightly shaking just from the aftereffects of the explosion that occurred in the air.
Eilen, who turned white at the sight, grabbed his collar with trembling hands.
“Three worlds. These crazy people…”
“It’s okay. I’ve taken care of everything this time, so in the future…”
Logan also relaxed his stiff expression and sighed.
“You’re such a ghost… hmm. Hmm. Excuse me.”
Victor, who had been staring blankly at the king and his wife comforting each other, realized belatedly that they were only wearing pajamas, cleared his throat, and turned around.
‘Huff!?’
Logan felt a chill run down his spine and turned his head to see a black dagger sticking out of the air.
A ghostly attack aimed at the moment when you were completely relieved that all the attackers had been defeated.
Unlike previous attackers, it was a monstrous stealth technique that did not even register his presence.
In addition, a faint black light that felt qualitatively different from the force blades of other attackers was flying from behind Eilen as if it would pierce her.
‘Auror!’
Instinctively, the beloved sword Lux’s time acceleration was activated.
Perhaps due to expanded consciousness and extremely heightened tension, time felt infinitely slower than before, and the trait was naturally activated in a sense of crisis.
Another force core emerged from among the seven force cores in his heart, further enhancing his consciousness and increasing his power.
But this time it was a handshake.
The abnormally accelerated consciousness and the explosive power failed to come together for a brief moment, and at that moment, the whip blade, which was supposed to naturally extend according to will and intercept the enemy, hesitated for a moment.
The short gap in which his sword extended towards the enemy again was the problem.
If things continue like this, even if he doesn’t know it, his wife, Eilen, will definitely die.
‘no!!!!’
When Logan’s expression was distorted by a hopeless premonition, Eilen also recognized the black dagger reflected in the red eyes of her companion.
It was immediately after receiving an attack that crossed the line between life and death.
Her nerves, which had been relieved, were tense for a moment, but her natural talent made her realize at once that it was already too late to turn the situation around.
‘no!’
The moment I realized the end, there were memories that flashed by like flashes of light.
Some people see their entire lives, while others see the most precious memories, and in that flash of light, she strangely recalled a recent memory that had hurt her pride.
– Are you worried about me now? Me, the symbol of McLane’s female soldiers and the first female Supreme Knight? Don’t worry, it will never be a burden!
If my husband hadn’t apologized right away, we would have had our first fight since we got married.
The fact that he was saying this because he was worried about a possible attack by assassins was not important.
Because being her husband’s weakness was an unacceptable shame for her.
From a young age, she wanted to become a knight, not just an ordinary noble lady.
Of course, recognizing her own talent was the biggest factor, but it was also due to her antipathy toward Grandia’s female image, which saw obedience and domestic help as virtues in life.
Even though I was ridiculed endlessly before meeting Logan, I have come this far thanks to not giving up.
Even though she ended up becoming a queen, her attitude was still the same.
But the end is like this?
Become your husband’s weakness… and die?
– no way!
Such a shameful death is something I cannot afford to die for.
That stubbornness raised her potential.
At the edge of the highest level, she stretched out her hand beyond the wall she had climbed over endless training.
– Keeping in mind my daily beliefs and what martial arts aims for…
I still did not fully understand the concept of characteristic design that my husband mentioned.
But at this moment, I was able to clearly know what I wanted and what I wanted as a knight.
Her trained body and mind became completely one at that moment, embodying her beliefs and goals.
I will not break.
I will not give in.
I will not become a weakness for someone precious to me.
In the end…
– I will stand alone.
The moment her blue eyes shine.
The red force became a red aura, instantly changing her body and materializing on the outside, enveloping her.
The thin red aura became dozens of layers of defense, forming a barrier like a strong castle.
‘Indomitable Citadel’, which will be known in future generations as the characteristic of McLane’s first female superhuman and the strongest defensive characteristic.
It was the first apparition.
Taaaaaang!
The black aura that was attacking her bounced away with a loud clanging sound.
And the golden aura that exploded went over her left and right, crushing the attacker without leaving a trace.
Kwakwakwakwakwa.
“Uh huh. “I’m surprised.”
In the midst of the devastation where one wall of the King’s bedroom was completely blown away, Logan sighed in relief and hugged his companion tightly.
…Of course, he immediately looked embarrassed at the red auror barrier that felt too strong. Although he took a step back,
“I said I wouldn’t interfere, right?”
Logan couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head at his companion’s confident expression.
That was when the couple was completely relieved and laughed happily.
“Your Majesty!”
This time, Victor was a step late again. He let out a scream-like shout and then
realized that
everything was over and smiled sheepishly
. A body was found.
In addition, it was announced to the public that the King had been seriously injured in the raid.
– Among the raiders were Auror users, who also specialized in assassinations.
– We know of only one group that could mobilize such abilities. .
An unbelievable announcement.
The full story of the accident announced by the McLane royal family had a great shock not only to the kingdom, but to all surrounding countries.
Although it was not specifically mentioned, it was obvious who the ‘group’ that McLane was referring to was.
And among them, the person who received the greatest shock had to be someone from the empire to the west.
