Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 397
Episode 397 ‘You can’t split the source. It will be easily avoided. Cutting metal… no, no.’
Eilen, who was contemplating the enemy floating in the air, followed an intuition that suddenly occurred to him and focused his mind on the flow of magical power released by the enemy.
‘If there’s a high chance that my attack won’t work anyway…’
An attack aimed at protecting myself and the three people on the castle wall. Although it splits into four directions, it is still one magic.
If you can know the flow, then breaking that flow is also possible…
‘It’s quite possible.’
The Force Core of the Divine Sword Vision dramatically develops the physical abilities and spirit of its owner. That was the reason why she and Ronian Viktor, who acquired special abilities rather than general awakening, were able to produce power equal to that of other Auror users of the same class with just their physical abilities.
Her husband, who originally had transcendental physical abilities and senses, said he could even see mana with his eyes, but she did not go that far.
However, it was not enough to feel the huge flow of magical power.
The flow of magical energy just before it turns into a wind of destruction that tears everything apart.
The flow was ridiculously fast and transparent, and the owner even intentionally tried to hide it.
‘found!’
Wooooow.
The red aura that rose from her sword shot up nearly twenty meters in an instant and transformed into the shape of a giant giant’s sword, or rather, a club.
Soon, the red clubs were swung one after another, not towards the enemy, but towards the air in all directions.
Paaaaaaaa!
A slash aimed not at the enemy but into the empty air.
But the results were great.
Kwakwakwakwa.
In an instant, the force of Sakpung, which was trying to cut the three people to pieces, was completely cut off.
“Fuha!”
“I survived!”
As Clayton and Victoria let out gasps with pale faces, Galen’s expression became horribly distorted.
At least those mages seemed to have suffered a few stab wounds, but the female knight didn’t even have a grazing wound at all.
“how…!”
A scream-like cry came out.
It was worth it. If it had been a spell that could be cut off with a single slash from an Auror user, the Army of the Dead Wind would not have become so famous.
It is a magic that can only be crushed if another ‘mage’ accurately reads the flow of magic power and possesses the destructive power to cut it off. And it was common knowledge that for that to be possible, one had to be a mage of a higher rank than Galen.
It didn’t matter that the female knight, who had unleashed an unreasonable blow, was staggering around in a cold sweat in return.
“…dare!!”
The arrogant mage, who even in the empire had only two people over his head, became furious and gathered his magic power.
Just as his attack was about to continue.
– done!
A strange wave spread inside and outside Kyle Castle along with a loud shout that came from inside the castle.
And that moment.
“strength!”
“The power is back!”
The expressions of the imperial knights who were falling unilaterally from the top of the castle wall changed completely. The power of the great magic circle that bound them had clearly weakened.
However, the reaction of the imperial army struggling underneath on the other side was completely different.
“Damn magic!”
“this!”
Wow.
Screams of pain came from the mouths of the 3,000 magicians of the Empire’s magic corps who had just joined the front lines.
There were also wizards who ended up hemorrhaging blood while using magic. The various auxiliary magics that were meant to be poured out on the front lines were canceled in an instant, and the magic flowed back.
“Cough.”
“What the hell is this!”
“What happened!?”
An ‘anti-magic barrier’ that disappeared into history a long time ago, but was unearthed from an unknown research journal by a century-old genius named Victoria.
It was a method that Victoria and McLane’s magic corps came up with as a last-ditch measure to block the imperial magic corps, which was a number, if not several, superior to them.
It was an extreme move that even momentarily reduced the effectiveness of the great magic formation that gave them victory, but that meant they thought greatly of the power of the enemy magic corps.
And at this moment, the effect was further maximized on the battlefield of magicians. The mana that flowed back at the same time as the barrier was activated caused a profound shock to its owners.
The barrier’s effect, ‘Anti-mana Field’, was applied to everyone inside and outside the castle walls, but the situations of McLane’s side, which had prepared in advance, and the Empire’s side, which was suddenly hit, were completely different.
Unlike the one that ended with Clayton and Victoria stumbling and gritting their teeth.
“evil!”
Tsunami mage Rexy fell with a fatal blow.
Hehehehe.
Earthquake mage Celine couldn’t even scream and blood spurted out from her mouth.
“Ugh! This is…!”
And Greg, the heat wave mage, seemed to have suffered a much greater blow and staggered, bleeding from his eyes, nose and mouth.
Of course, there were those who persevered despite this.
“Holy shit!”
There was indeed something different about the Empire’s greatest mage, Galen Decade, who maintained his magic even with his face turning pale.
But he didn’t look normal either.
And that’s when Eilen moved.
‘now!’
Eilen, who shot out like lightning, first aimed at the heat wave mage who was about to sit down.
“what…!?”
Blank eyes staring at the sword in front of them with a pale complexion.
Eilen’s sword did not miss the opportunity.
Skag.
“no!”
As if his attempt to use magic didn’t go as planned, Galen let out an angry yell, but Greg’s head was already rolling on the floor.
‘next!’
It felt like her whole body was creaking from the force that had exposed the floor and the accumulated shock, but Eilen had no intention of stopping.
‘There will never again be a situation where mages are caught in a barrier as a group!’
He used his willpower to move her.
But there were no more enemies where her sword landed.
Ugh.
Although Galen was unable to prevent Greg’s death, he soon seemed to have found a trick and used his magic again.
Before Eilen could approach the other mages, they were already in the air.
‘You’re using magic even though the anti-magic barrier is in place? ‘I said it was impossible?’
I looked back in bewilderment, but even Victoria, who had discovered this magic, was just looking at Galen with a bewildered expression.
And the person who broke her common sense had a distorted face and was letting out a bizarre laugh.
“Hehehe. Such an absurd thing… they restored the ancient anti-magic circle…? Who on earth?”
Judging from the blood trickling down from the corner of his mouth with his undignified smile, it clearly seemed like he wasn’t all that well.
Galen’s gaze, which had been glaring at Eilen as if he were going to kill him, followed her gaze.
Victoria came in, standing as if leaning on her teacher with a pale complexion.
Only then did Eilen realize his mistake and look at Galen again, but it was already too late.
“This is the genius of the century…”
Galen smiled cruelly as he looked at the young mage.
Even after seeing that, Eilen could no longer go on the offensive. Although it clearly seemed like it had taken a big hit, there were no subtle loopholes to be seen.
However, in that delicate standoff, it was the Mage of the Cold Wind who turned around first.
“We’ll see. A second time won’t work…!”
When he finished saying those words, his handsome face became cruelly distorted.
A sudden shout erupted from beneath the castle walls.
– Wow!
Everyone’s eyes on the castle walls were focused on the battlefield below.
* * * The swordsman’s sword strike, which seemed like he was prepared for death, was terrifyingly brutal.
With a single swing, a radius of several tens of meters was cut off, and the ground was completely split by a single foot cloud.
It was literally transcendent force.
But Logan wasn’t afraid of his sword.
A sword strike that spanned dozens of meters could be offset with his own aura and power, and a foot cloud so powerful that the terrain exploded seemed like an unnecessary waste of power.
If it weren’t for the freezing magic that blocked his movements, the fight would have ended long ago.
Rather, it was a strange situation to the point where the sword spirit on the castle wall felt even more threatening.
‘Why is it like this?’
Tris’s face, whose wrinkles were increasing in real time, was bizarre, and the power and speed of his sword were clearly different from those on the castle wall.
And nothing had changed.
Is the physical ability amplified by the relics of the Geomshin lineage sufficient to make up this gap?
I could definitely say no.
Even the time acceleration of the beloved sword Lux had already been used up.
If you think about it with common sense, it should have been an urgent situation to avoid, but for some reason, I was able to afford it. To the extent that he can understand the strengths and weaknesses of swordsmanship performed by world-class swordsmen.
‘How on earth can I?’
Logan, who was puzzled, immediately realized that he was at a turning point. The possibility of reaching a level that has been passed down like legends is just around the corner.
Therefore, we forgot that it was a battlefield and focused on defense.
And after a long period of fighting and repeatedly watching the Sword Soul’s swordsmanship, I realized.
That he is reading all of the sword spirit’s moves in advance and responding one step ahead.
‘Right.’
The realization came too late because there was no relevant knowledge.
Reading breathing and moving numbers are natural skills that a warrior must have.
But this wasn’t a question of skill. With that kind of skill, no matter who sees it, and even in his own opinion, sword spirit has the upper hand.
The fundamental cause of this situation was the change in one’s vision and senses.
‘You can see the soul…’
Tris Hornsby’s movements clearly showed that thought.
To the extent that he could even anticipate impromptu movements that even he himself could not have known.
I now felt like I truly understood the meaning of the Aura Master’s status as one who manipulates souls.
And only when I realized it did I see Tris’ bloodshot eyes.
“You’re really avoiding it like a rat!”
It was clear that this old knight also sensed defeat.
“Did you finally see beyond!?”
I could sense anger that was difficult to understand in his dry voice. However, there was no need to deal with that inexplicable anger.
Now is the time to end it.
visor! Chachaechaeng!
Wow!
Ugh.
“I learned it well.”
A battlefield where the earth splits and everything is devastated before your eyes.
Even in the midst of the intense clash, Logan’s relaxed voice rang clearly into Tris’s ears.
“…Unacceptable!”
Deep wrinkles and sunken eyes.
Noh Knight, who sensed the end, did not accept his defeat until the end.
The vitality squeezed out at the end of life was deposited on the tip of the sword.
“You never die alone!”
The sword spirit stopped with those words.
The storm of sword strikes died down and flame-like auras soared high into the sky. The flames of the auror, burning fiercely as if it had been a joke, forced the rising dust to settle.
The moment his vision became clear, the huge flame of the auror disappeared and the sword of the soul drew a long line.
Shhh!
A sword strike that came down cleanly from the top of Logan’s head to his toes.
The power he showed with his fingers in the imperial palace of the Empire many years ago.
Soul Blade, the pinnacle of swordsmanship that the swordsman had cultivated throughout his life, was unleashed with all his auras.
A blow swung with all his soul by a man who was once called the strongest auror user on the continent.
The blow that allowed Logan to see the world again erupted in a red light more brilliant than anything else at the end of the swordsman’s life.
A dazzling red color that colors my son-in-law.
The madness of the battlefield faded away in an instant, and everyone around them stopped the fierce battle and stared blankly at the explosion of light.
That sword had the magic power to attract people’s souls.
But only one.
Only pity appeared on Logan’s face as he faced it.
‘It’s powerful, but…’
Perhaps the sword spirit faced the wall a long time ago and has been constantly yearning to go beyond it. In the end, he succeeded in somehow imitating the impossible level of elevation.
Yes. That was an imitation.
‘It only contains one’s soul and does not have the power to split one’s soul.’
The agony of a knight who has struggled for decades in front of a barren wall.
That despair.
And the hope that he could not let go of until the very end was clearly visible in that single sword.
So, Logan decided to do his best to see the old knight off for the last time.
By showing the end of the power he wants to overcome.
thud.
The moment I made my decision and took a step, the characteristic ‘Up’ was activated and tremendous power surged. And a clean sword strike containing all that power was drawn towards the sword soul.
The golden sword strike, drawn at the same angle and range, offset the approaching red light.
Kwakwakwakwa!
The blow of the person who climbed over the wall through expedient means faced the old knight’s years of frustration in front of the wall.
In an infinitely short period of time, which could literally be said to be a moment, the stark differences were clearly compared and engraved in Logan’s soul.
‘Thanks to you, I think I’ll be able to completely climb over the wall soon.’
Divine Sword Arcane Type 8 Soul Splitting.
The burning golden light of the vision that unfolded without the slightest preparation advanced forward, burning the last vitality of the old knight.
Is it because of the shock of that brilliant light?
Or maybe his life had already ended before then.
The sword spirit’s body collapsed before the light that split the soul reached the body.
All that was left was a horribly distorted expression.
“Master!”
The one-eyed knight, who was unable to intervene even though he was constantly looking for an opportunity, let out a scream-like yell.
“no!”
The mage, who experienced for the first time in his life a situation where no magic worked, screamed with a pale complexion.
While everyone’s attention was focused on that shocking scene.
Logan raised his sword.
Even as he felt the eyes of the imperial army surrounding the force ebbing away as an aftereffect of activating his trait, he did not waver at all.
and.
“I defeated the sword spirit!”
A voice echoing across the battlefield announced the end of the battle.
