Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 414
Episode 414- …Subdue!
– Wow!
The sight of the imperial army filling the horizon with loud shouts was truly overwhelming. The central army, with five additional legions, was larger than the total number of vigilantes in Kyle Castle.
Moreover, the number of those who appear to be leading knights alone is almost 20,000. It was 20 times the water volume of the MacLine knights, who numbered only about a thousand.
Victoria’s face turned red as she watched this, even though she was nervous.
This can’t be right….
‘There really is no way!’
All of the imperial troops charging in, including knights and soldiers, had the golden dragon emblem erased.
I could immediately understand what was causing the bustling movements of the imperial army last night.
– If the Empire noticed the target of the magic circle, they would definitely erase the emblem. And right before the battle. Even if we notice, we’ll assume that we won’t be able to reset the target right away.
This time too, His Majesty’s prediction was correct.
The moment I realized it, my fists naturally tightened.
– Completely eliminates the target of the weakening magic circle. So that it applies to all creatures that come within range.
– your majesty! If you do that, not only will the consumption of magic stones become extreme, but your allies will also be affected! The level that can be handled with the vitality magic circle is…
– The effect of the great magic circle is applied to the vitality magic circle first.
– yes? That’s right, but…
– First of all, the Great Magic Circle is a linked magic, so if it is affected by the Vitality Magic Circle, it will be excluded from the application of the Weakening Magic Circle. Check it.
– …to?
– Even if it’s impossible to change the target, isn’t it possible to completely eliminate it? Other wizards in shields and armor?
– Uh… yes, it’s possible, but…
‘How on earth did you know that?’
The ancient great magic circle still had a lot of room for research. So much so that even those who can apply it still feel at a loss.
However, when it was actually applied, His Majesty’s assurance turned out to be exactly right. Even Victoria, who is now talked about as the genius of the century across the continent, was bewildered.
Of course, she didn’t know that that information was just an inference based on what Logan had read in Kensin Yurok.
but.
Well, that’s just a small way out of an overwhelmingly unfavorable situation. My heart still feels heavy when I think of the most important mission I have to do from now on.
Will it turn out as His Majesty predicted?
– The enemy’s biggest weakness is the emperor.
– yes?
– The emperor declared his own government in order to reduce morale. That will be his biggest mistake.
– Those are very disturbing words. No way….
– ‘We’ are aiming for the emperor’s life in this war.
– Yeah!? Ooh, us? Who would we…
– Due to the nature of the Ares Empire, the moment the emperor dies, all national systems, including the empire’s core policies and wars, will stop. Then, there is bound to be a gap until the 1st prince ascends to the throne again.
– your majesty!?
– At least we can end this war itself.
– Anyway, that’s too much!
– No, you can. First of all…
I’m excited.
‘Will it really work?’
I understand the purpose of the operation. However, even if the weakening magic circle works as is, if the continuous crossbow and liberatio are blocked, the chances of winning are greatly reduced.
In fact, if you look at the number of troops alone, there was not much difference.
However, the idea that the vigilantes who made up the majority of our troops could deal with the central army of the empire one-on-one was just a delusion.
– The role of superhumans is important. Anyway, our secret weapon will open the way. After that…
the only thing I could trust now was His Majesty’s assurances.
‘But what on earth is that secret weapon? Is there really a superhuman that we don’t know about?’
The eyes of Victoria and other adepts of McLane County were focused on their monarch in the center of the castle wall.
* * * The early battle flow went as expected.
As expected, the rapid crossbow and Liberatio’s bombardment were blocked by the enemy magic corps’ wind barrier and did not even achieve 20% of the effect.
And when the confident knights of the empire came up to the castle walls.
The sight of them panicking and collapsing gave the McLane army even more hope.
“Ugh!”
“What the hell!?”
“Emperor’s lungs…?”
In particular, the leading knights looked even more embarrassed than last time.
On the contrary, the McLane army, whose morale rose, gained even more strength.
“Die, invaders!”
“We protect our land!”
“Get lost!”
Fierce shouts coming from all over the castle walls.
Looking at that scene, Logan clenched his fists.
‘also.’
– The problem is the civilians inside Kyle Castle… If they are all affected by the weakening magic circle, the power that should be applied to the enemies will be dispersed. No matter how much magic stones you pour into it, it won’t be possible.
– That’s right.
– However, if you tell them to hand out the flame emblem, the word could go straight to the imperial army…
– If that’s the case, there won’t be a big problem.
– what?
– Civilians are also contributing in their own way by carrying magazines and helping with distribution. Even children.
– her?
– In the worst case scenario, if the walls collapse, they will come out to fight. In fact, various weapons are being prepared. Also, it is becoming a trend to wear cloth with flame patterns on one’s body to strengthen one’s resolve.
What I was most worried about was the distribution of power due to the change in the weakening magic circle, but that problem was also solved excellently.
But the joy was short-lived.
The moment Harmon, who was supposed to announce the start of ‘Operation’, struck a bruise, Logan had to grit his teeth.
Just standing there dumbly, ignoring the tremendous surge of divine power.
– All right. Leave it to me.
Was that calm answer a lie?
‘Could it be that they are the real enemy?’
I was startled, wondering if the worst possibility had come true, but fortunately it didn’t seem to end there.
Logan’s fierce gaze made it easy to read Harmon’s expression of great shock, even from a distance.
I don’t know why, but I’ll judge right now.
‘…Hold.’
It seemed like he had to start it himself. The additional effect of informing the empire of the appearance of a superhuman using divine auras and causing unrest had to be given up.
then.
Slurp.
‘I’ll have to go much stronger.’
I tried to save my strength.
“It’s the enemy!”
“It’s the enemy’s king!”
“Kill!”
Logan took a step forward, smiling coldly at the imperial knights rushing in front of him.
And the sword swung.
At the same time, a dazzling golden light enveloped a corner of the castle wall.
Flashing.
Divine Sword Vision Type 3: Splitting the Earth.
The golden giant’s sword shot out from Logan’s beloved sword, Lux, forming a large semicircle and chopping down the imperial knights climbing the castle wall all at once.
Ugh.
About 30 knights were cut in half without even being able to escape. Rather, it was the knights who climbed the castle wall right after that that screamed.
“uh…!?”
“Ugh!”
The Shinigami blade that passed over their heads froze their feet with a force much stronger than the weakening magic circle.
And Logan, who instantly attracted the attention of the front line, smiled a cruel smile and increased his power once again.
If it was originally Harmon, or Heyman’s job, to attract attention with the first blow, then it was his role to fire the current blow right after that. The plan was to attract attention by delivering an overwhelming blow from both the left and right sides of the castle wall.
As of now, the original plan has been canceled, but we just need to focus more attention on this area.
‘can do.’
I felt confident the moment I tried my best to split the ground.
I had a vague premonition a few days ago, but I couldn’t tell the leaders because I wasn’t sure.
That’s why I only mentioned it as a performance that would break the enemy’s momentum.
However, these days, he can feel that he is getting closer to becoming an Auror Master day by day, and his skills are different from when he cut the sword spirit a few weeks ago.
And now was the time to show it to the world.
thud.
The moment Logan took a step forward, the golden aura soared through the frozen gaze once again as if piercing the sky.
Normally, this was a performance that would have been nothing more than an unnecessary waste of power, but at this moment, the explosion of aurors created a momentum that overwhelmed the battlefield.
At the same time, Logan swung again, and a golden sphere with a diameter almost the size of an adult protruded from the tip of his sword.
Divine Sword Secret Type 6: Root Splitting (根源斬).
‘Transformation and collapse of all things (萬象崩壞).’
The blow that had once torn down the walls of a small castle was fired straight ahead with incomparable power.
“Aaaah!”
“Hmph!”
“Foreclosure!”
Some of the imperial knights who had frozen from the previous momentum hurriedly raised their weapons.
Those who clearly feel the power of superhumans and show fighting spirit among superhumans who have the power to resist.
Their courage was incredible, but the golden sphere passed them by and plummeted straight to the bottom of the castle wall.
“uh!?”
“…!?”
“what!?”
A moment when the knights who had prepared to die were confused.
Logan was watching the movement of a huge mana visible only to his eyes under the castle wall.
What he was aiming for was the wind barrier created by the enemy’s magic corps.
Even though it is a secret technique that cuts through the essence of existence and pulverizes matter itself into beings smaller than dust, it is the power of one person. It was bound to be a struggle to crush the great magic that thousands of wizards had used with all their might.
But Logan thought differently.
‘It’s completely possible!’
It wasn’t a battle of thousands versus one.
Rather than crushing the power itself, it cuts off the flow that coordinates the different mana emitted by thousands of wizards.
That was quite possible.
Logan’s soul, which had already surpassed half of the limit of an Auror user, perfectly grasped the flow of great magic, and his power-packed strike followed the essence of the divine sword’s vision and directly hit the ‘essence of the flow’.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
A brilliant golden light spread out in the air along with a huge explosion.
The imperial knights and troops who were struggling to climb the castle wall were swept away by the shock wave and fell to the ground again.
“Aaaah!”
“Kwaaaaak!”
The McLane army on top of the castle wall could not avoid falling to the ground, but of course the impact was nothing compared to the imperial army that fell from the castle wall.
And the biggest victims of that conflict were not the knights on the front lines, but the wizards on the last lines.
“Whoa!”
“This can’t be right!”
“What is this!?”
Among the magicians who formed a magic circle at the rear of the imperial army and supported anti-magic magic, about a thousand of them suddenly vomited blood and fainted.
“How can you do something so ridiculous…!?”
When the magician of the cold wind, who hastily cut off the repulsive force that was also transmitted to him, turned his gaze towards the battlefield in fright.
A loud shout came out from the front line.
“The spell has been broken! Bomb the enemy!”
A huge golden aura soars again with that voice.
The sight of the owner of the auror standing proudly raised the morale of McLane’s troops to the extreme.
“Wow!”
“Your Majesty!”
“Kill the invaders! Kill!”
The McLane army fired crossbows again and threw red stones without anyone.
Pabababak.
Kwakwakwakwak!
“Aaaah!”
“Save me!”
The bombardment that started again devastated the imperial troops under the castle walls. I started doing it.
