Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 399

Episode 399 ‘From now on, when I say dogs are cute, I’m not talking about people.’

Christian Miller, a superhuman phantom sword belonging to the Imperial Guard, gritted his teeth and made a promise. I didn’t know how many times I made the same promise in a short moment, but I couldn’t help it.

He was convinced that anyone who had a similar experience would develop dog neurosis.

An ordinary dog that can’t even come up to your waist can’t help but avoid all of the Auror user’s swords, and sometimes it experiences a few instances of its front paws or muzzle filled with eerie energy being thrust near vital points.

And the biggest problem with that bastard who just looked ordinary was something else.

Ugh. Ugh.

“Ugh!”

In terms of weight, I was blocking the front foot of a guy that was maybe a quarter of my own, but my body was pushed forward and reached the ledge of the castle wall. It was no wonder that the paws of that damned bastard were beasts with sharp claws that could not even be cut by aurors.

Soon, a red aura spread out from the window and entangled the monster.

Kwazizyk.

Rumbling.

“You can’t last long! Quick!”

The window suddenly cracked and Maxwell’s expression became distorted.

As if responding, two people jumped out from behind the monster.

While the red light rising from Christian’s sword penetrated the monster, disturbing its senses, Anthony’s ax fell like a thunderbolt and aimed at the monster.

The moment when three people and a space collide as if they overlapped.

phut.

With a noise like a joke, the monster’s body disappeared as if it were a lie.

“Huh!?”

“what!?”

“100 million!?”

The three superhumans, who suddenly lost their goal and collided with their allies, drastically reduced their strength. However, the distance between them was already too close to suddenly stop the attack with all its might.

Wow!

“Oops!”

“urg!”

Maxwell, who was at the center of the intersection, stumbled from the enormous impact, and Christian and Anthony also stiffened for a moment from the not-so-small impact.

And at that moment, the monster that had disappeared appeared just a few meters away.

Before they could even come to their senses, the one head suddenly grew bigger and split into three in an instant. On each head, which was larger than the body, two pairs of red eyes glowed viciously.

When that bizarre sight blows away your sense of reality.

The three heads that seemed to be laughing opened their mouths at the same time and let out a single light.

Hahaha!

A dark red ray of a different scale than before stretched forward and struck the three superhumans.

The moment Christian faced that, his mind turned white.

‘How could this be…!?’

Instinctively, I tried to move my body with all my strength, but there was no way the shock caused by the boiling auror could be easily resolved.

The timing of the monster’s evasion and attack, which took place in such a split second, was so exquisite.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa.

“Aaaah!”

The place where the dark red ray passed.

Maxwell didn’t even show a trace, and Anthony Brown was screaming desperately, befitting his nickname, Berserker.

Is it a blessing or a curse to still have the strength to scream even when the lower half of my body is completely gone?

Christian didn’t know.

And I didn’t have the time to think deeply.

He, too, could barely protect his head, but his entire right half of his body from his right shoulder to below his pelvis had been torn off.

“Huh huh….”

I am the fantasy sword of the empire.

To die so absurdly?

The moment I stood at the end of my life, the only thing that came to mind was absurdity.

Let’s not even mention the incredible Laser Breath, which seemed like it was a joke until then, and had a completely different scale and destructive power.

A mere monster demonstrated a spatial movement that even the legendary great mage would find difficult to do without full preparation.

And at the very right moment. As if making fun of themselves.

If I had known in advance, would I have been able to prepare?

The ability of the divine beast, which was rare even in ancient times, left only regret and doubt in the last moments of the superhuman’s life.

And, confirming the end of such an enemy, the descendant of the last divine beast and the king of demonic beasts roared towards the sky.

– Awwwwww!

* * * The results of the battle across the North and South were quickly conveyed to Kyle Castle.

Of course, Logan, who had already learned of the South’s results before that, was criticizing its greatest contributor.

‘I told you not to transform!? How many times do I have to tell you not to expose your demonic energy…!’

– Fine. little.

‘Is that a little bit!? I saw it all too, man! ‘Did you forget to share your view?!’

– I don’t know. boring.

“Ha… Ah, this is really true.”

Logan’s body began to tremble while he was communicating with Tyr.

Then Eilen, who was next to me, tilted her head.

“What’s wrong?”

“Oh no. Tyr is a little…”

“Hmm?”

As I was looking at my wife who looked puzzled, I felt eyes on me.

The entire command staff of the 1st Corps gathered in the narrow space of the barracks on the battlefield were looking at themselves with flushed faces.

“Hmm… no. I was too oversensitive on this beautiful day.”

Logan smiled awkwardly, shook his head to shake off his thoughts about Tyr, and looked at the commanders.

“Please report it too.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. According to the news sent from the fortresses of the North and South…”

As the next words were said, smiles appeared on the faces of everyone who was listening.

[Results of the Battle of the Northern Fortress Shield] * Legion – Estimated 1st to 4th corps in the eastern part of the Empire. Estimated 50,000 dead and seriously injured out of 200,000 Imperial troops. Crushing one corps level scale.

– McLane Army casualties estimated at 10,000. Liberty reinforcements casualties estimated at 5,000* Superhuman power – 1st Corps commander Jamie Gillan killed by sword attack. Melvin Try, first officer of the Imperial Guard, dies.

– Gunther Liberty, reinforcement of the Red Reaper Bourdelle, was seriously injured.

In the war in the north, he defeated two enemy superhumans and completely destroyed a quarter of the enemy’s troops. Instead, they achieved a great victory while facing more than twice the number of troops.

Even the amazing results were weak compared to the South’s victory.

[Results of the Battle of the Southern Fortress Armor] * Legion – Estimated 5th to 8th corps in the eastern part of the Empire, 200,000 dead and 70,000 seriously injured among the imperial army, destroyed on the scale of two corps.

– McLane Army casualties estimated at 15,000. Casualties from Teronan reinforcements estimated at 8,000.

* Superhuman power – Christian Miller, the superhuman of the Imperial Guard, Anthony Browne, and Maxwell Cutter, commander of the 5th Corps, die in a decisive battle with the divine beast Tyr.

– 8th Corps Commander Bering Grutter died (Wicken Callia and Gustav Klémen’s joint attack was victorious).

– General Commander Matt Dickerson was mortally wounded and retreated due to uncertainty about whether he was alive or dead (Victor).

– 6th Corps Commander Sadric Perkerson dies (Ronian McLane wins).

– No damage to our team’s superhumans (Victor is recovering quickly from serious injuries).

He destroyed almost 30% of the enemy troops, killed 5 superhumans, and left one superhuman alive or dead.

Among the Empire’s superhumans, only the 7th Legion Commander Graeme Turner, whom Terronan’s impregnable Latin Lawrence faced, returned safely.

It was truly an overwhelming victory.

“The achievements of the Southern Fortress are remarkable.”

“Should I give this honor to Archduke Macraine? Or should I give it to King Ronian?”

“Whahaha. Well, what do you think?”

The barracks are getting noisy.

The commanders who were watching Logan also raised their voices excitedly when their master did not say anything.

It was a worthy achievement.

And although it was buried in the achievements of the southern fortress, Kyle Castle’s achievements were equally as great.

* Legion – Among the 150,000 troops of the three corps of the Imperial Central Army, casualties are estimated at 30,000 (including over 1,000 magic corps members).

– McLane vigilante death toll estimated at 30,000. Casualties for regular troops estimated at 5,000.

* Superhuman Power – Heat Wave Mage Greg Marvin dies.

– Earthquake mage Selene Wouter and tsunami mage Lexi Linderman are seriously injured.

– Tris Hornsby, the Imperial Sword Spirit, dies.

– No damage to friendly forces.

“The initial battle was won on all three routes of advance! The enemy retreated with a severe loss of at least 20% of its power!”

“Wow!”

This shout was telling.

Numerically, it was Kyle Castle that suffered the most damage out of the three advance routes, but its symbolism had a different meaning.

‘Because I caught that sword spirit.’

The thrill of the final sword fight with him still lingered in my fingertips. If you don’t forget that feeling, it’s only a matter of time before you reach a level that only exists in legends.

‘And when that time comes…’ While

Logan was recalling the fierce battle from before and recalling the numbers, the voices in the barracks grew louder.

“It’s all thanks to your Majesty!”

“Glory to McLane!”

“Long live His Majesty Logan McLane!”

With everyone praising Logan with flushed faces.

“Let me say something.”

His wife, with a bright smile, pushed his back with a whisper.

At that, Logan put away his thoughts, took a deep breath, and stood up.

The noisy voices suddenly quieted down and everyone looked at him with strange enthusiasm.

Logan, who made eye contact with the commanders of the 1st Corps, including Eileen Clayton, Victoria, and Jorge, opened his mouth after a moment of silence.

“We won today!”

With just that one word, the barracks was boiling again.

“Glory to McLane!”

“We won!”

“Thanks to you, Your Majesty!”

“Then what about us?”

“We did well too!”

Wahahahaha.

The atmosphere becomes lively in an instant.

“Quiet, quiet!”

“Your Majesty is speaking…!”

“Everyone stop!”

Several commanders tried to set the tone, but Logan just went along with it.

Because I was happier about that victory than anyone else.

“Yes. It’s all thanks to me.”

“Yes that’s right!”

“And it’s all thanks to you!”

“That’s right too!”

Clayton’s response, which had been quiet until now, suddenly burst out in laughter, making me laugh again.

“Yes. I and you did it together.”

I wanted to say something nicer, but I couldn’t think of a more plausible expression.

All I can do is just feel overwhelmed.

My heart swelled as my life’s goal, the moment when the resentment of my past life was resolved, was depicted right before my eyes.

but.

‘Not yet, not yet.’

Logan forced himself to calm his pounding heart.

It was a valuable victory achieved as everything prepared worked miraculously.

Have things ever been this easy since I returned?

And that’s why I had to be more careful.

Logan decided to cool off the boiling heat in his chest just a little more.

“But remember, the war is not over yet.”

“yes!”

“The empire will not retreat like this.”

“I know!”

“Do not forget today’s victory and prepare for tomorrow’s battle. Then we will continue to win tomorrow and beyond.”

“yes!”

“Good. Honor the victims who died today and provide the soldiers with alcohol and meat. But only one drink. Anyone who gets drunk on the joy of victory and lets down his guard will be severely punished!”

“yes!”

“Enjoy your victory, but beware of your enemies! The day we achieve complete victory, I will share all this glory with you!”

“insect!”

“Salute to the sun of McLane!”

“Glory to the unquenchable flame!”

A loud shout erupted from inside the small barracks, and it soon led to a loud shout that echoed throughout the castle.
