Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 459

Episode 459 There is a difference in weight between just guessing and actually confirming it.

And that wasn’t the end.

“To put it more seriously, it is safe to say that learning the path pursued by the gods in the scriptures and reciting prayers itself is a ritual hoping to reach their souls.”

“hmm.”

“It is a similar process to a rancher stamping a cow. The difference is that even a small trace left by the soul of a great godhead can be used to wield special power.”

“Sacred power…”

“Yes. That divine power once again becomes evidence of their existence and attracts others. Not knowing that it itself causes a blemish on the soul.”

“Hmm?”

“Yes. Now I know for sure, but even if my soul hadn’t been eroded, I wouldn’t have become an Aura Master. My soul has already been altered to fit Arya’s wavelength and is using some of its power.”

Harmon’s words were far beyond Logan’s expectations.

“You don’t have to feel so bad. Although you may not be as good as an Auror Master, you can use the power of your soul anyway. If your condition returns, you will be able to easily defeat most Auror users. Even if you are missing one arm.”

“I’m really sorry about that…”

“It’s okay. It’s the path I chose. In exchange for this arm, I chased away the soul of God and was able to use some of its power. It’s a profitable business. Well… in the warehouse of the traitorous master. “It looks like a laborer taking out grain without permission.”

There isn’t even a trace in that warehouse.

Harmon’s face looked bitter as he continued speaking.

“I now clearly understand why among the past leaders of the Knights Templar, who were always considered one of the strongest on the continent, there was no Auror Master.”

Aura Master. A state where one soul ascends to control other souls.

How can someone who has experienced even a small part of that state get rid of that attachment?

Logan felt sorry for the thirst that Harmon would experience for the rest of his life. But regardless of that regret, I wanted to make one thing clear.

“Then how on earth is it possible to revive a soul?”

Of course, Logan also confirmed it with his spiritual eyes. The process of divine power interacting with each other to amplify and restore the faded spark of the soul to its original size.

However, even though he saw the process from beginning to end, it was difficult for him to fully understand it as he did not have divine powers.

Harmon, who understood Logan’s doubts, quickly lived up to his expectations.

“As I said, the gods take human souls to nourish themselves. You could say they are a kind of ‘soul predator’. And the divine power borrows some of the power of those gods.”

“hmm.”

“The power of someone who feeds his own soul by eating other souls. Then wouldn’t the reverse be possible? That’s what I thought.”

“ah…!?”

Harmon smiled bitterly as he looked at Logan’s expression as if he had realized something.

Will this explanation really help him?

“The only problem is that I cannot see or control my soul like the Auror Master can. The wounds and passages in my soul cannot be measured, so I needed a similar mirror.”

“Ah… so…”

“Yes. That’s why I needed to meet the saint. To be exact, another person who survived the encroachment of God’s soul by his own will.”

“…Hmm.”

“The saint and I looked at each other’s souls and reversed the way they were treated by the gods and drew on their power. We used the same channel through which our souls were stolen.”

It was an incredible story.

People who were almost consumed by a god actually survive thanks to the power of that god?

Above all, the problem was that it would be difficult for one to imitate the method of reviving the soul.

‘Then Lord Clayton…’

A part of my heart felt frustrated because it was only half a success.

‘I have nothing to say to Leah.’

By now, news of the saint’s resurrection must have reached the child.

‘I’m sure he’s looking forward to it…’

I couldn’t use the same method I used to revive my teacher, the swordsman. Now that I have reached a deeper level, I can clearly feel how dangerous and reckless that method was.

‘We need to dig deeper into the soul encroachment of the gods and their divine power.’

Logan’s face hardened without realizing it as he thought about squeezing Harmon the whole time.

Harmon seemed to perceive it differently.

“I know you find it hard to believe. To be honest, I thought it was a gamble, too. But the gods did nothing to stop the backflow of that power.”

“Hmm? You didn’t stop it…?”

“Yes. There was no resistance to the extent that it seemed strange. Well, it could be because they have no more power than dust, but from what I have experienced so far, they are not like that. So…” Harman swallowed dry

saliva. With this serious face, he said something fascinating.

“As I said before, I think there is some price or penalty when creating an apostle. So I think the two gods Amunda and Aria are currently unable to interfere with us… Well, it’s just a personal guess.”

“Hmm… no, it’s a very possible story.”

It was definitely a persuasive story.

Logan put aside his regrets about reviving his soul and engraved the new information into his mind.

‘If you fail to become an apostle, you will receive some kind of penalty. Then, I think killing the apostle would also be a blow to the gods…’

Of course, it would be best to prevent the gods from interfering in this world at all, but there was still some uneasiness.

As if he had read Logan’s mind, Harmon spoke carefully.

“Since the gods are hostile to you, I think it would be a good idea for you to consider destroying or sealing the sacred relics of Macraine Parish and the old Kingdom of Charon. Excluding Licentia and Aurum, I have hidden the remaining five sacred relics separately. .”

“Do you mean to openly build a shrine and pretend to be?”

“There is no need to do that. Hasn’t the Holy Father already taken your side? The process may be complicated, but he will welcome it with both hands if it is now the seal of the holy relic.”

“…I guess so.”

Of course, it wasn’t possible to do that right away. Because now was the time to focus on dealing with the Empire and the Kassel Tower.

Moreover, it was a story that could not easily be told to anyone except Harman or the saint.

However, it was very uncomfortable to think that the gods were aiming for his back.

However, since we cannot do anything directly with the gods that exist in higher dimensions, all we can do right now is just that.

“…As soon as I get back, I will have to tell the saint what the seal on the holy object means.”

This was just a passive response.

Logan once again felt anger welling up at the gods’ behavior.

If you think about it, isn’t his life being threatened even though he hasn’t done anything special?

But then.

“…If you want to give the gods a shot, I have a good idea.”

“hmm?”

One of the two people who probably hate the gods the most in modern times said something interesting.

* * * After the resurrection of the saint at Kyle Castle.

It took only a week for Logan to arrive in Ruspelheim. During that time, discussing with Harman the use and source of divine power and gaining further insight was just a bonus.

The most important thing was that his absence was so short that it was not noticeable to those around him. Even if you count from the time he disappeared after informing Damian of his stealth, less than a month has passed.

And the speed of the imperial army’s advance did not deviate much from Damian’s initial expectations.

“It seems like your lifespan has decreased by 10 years in one month. But your Majesty has a really nice complexion hahaha.”

Damien, who had a haggard complexion, laughed exaggeratedly and laughed.

It was rude to let Chidogon go, but Logan, who was very much pricked by his conscience, had no choice but to smile awkwardly.

“You achieved the full cooperation of the Holy Kingdom. Isn’t this an achievement worthy of taking a risk?”

“That’s it… ugh. Yes, you did well.”

It may be tempting to argue, but what can you do when there are clear results?

Damian, unable to hide his aggrieved expression, only reluctantly nodded.

‘For a bookman, he’s overly honest.’

It may seem like a loophole to some, but Damian’s appearance like this was also proof that he was changing the future, so Logan laughed again.

And I wanted to cheer up such a subject.

“Well, as a bonus, I also brought an Auror user, so say hello later.”

“…yes?”

“The number of Auror users has increased by one.”

“Are you serious?!”

“okay.”

“Aja! Hehehe. Well, it was worth the trip. Well done hahaha.”

Unlike before, the sound of laughter is sincere.

Logan patted Damian’s shoulder with a satisfied face and whispered something he had planned to keep secret for now.

“And I feel more confident that I can take on the Emperor and the Cassel Mage Tower at the same time.”

The basis for confidence was clear.

Although he could not overcome the limits of being an Auror Master, he could say that because there was a clear rise in rank.

“…yes?!”

“Isn’t this enough to make the trip worth it?”

Logan shamelessly laid the foundation for this unintended rise as if he had intended it from the beginning, but there was no way Damian knew about it.

“Are you really sure!?”

“okay.”

Damian cheered as Logan grinned and nodded.

“Wow! I’m serious!?”

“I mean it’s true.”

“That was it, hehehe. Hahahaha! Well done! Yes, you did really well! If that’s the case, it’s okay for me to feel rotten inside! Puhahaha.”

Even as he cheered heartily, Logan was momentarily taken aback by the poignant words, but a smile soon appeared on his face again.

Moreover, there was another gift for the trickster.

“Connect to Kyle Castle. I will speak directly with the Saint. The security will be absolutely confidential.”

“…yes?”

Damian, who was laughing at those sudden words, was taken aback for a moment.

“Quickly. The faster we go, the better the war will be.”

He forgot to respond to his master’s next words and quickly walked away.

And that evening.

The communication between Logan and the saint, which continued for a long time, caused an amazing impact in the world the very next day.

– McLane’s Sun Continent’s Greatest Sword Logan McLane is a hero who will conquer the difficult times brought on by the 9th God.

– In the name of the temple and the saint, we express our support for the hero given by God and convey the status and blessings of an honorary saint.

A proclamation made by the saint in front of the high-ranking priests and paladins gathered in Kyle.

It was literally an instant for it to spread throughout the continent.

“Really, truly, the temple approved it.”

“I told you right away! Is it even possible to become an Auror Master in your 20s? It’s possible because you’re a hero appointed by God.”

“That’s right. It’s safe to say that our Majesty is the apostle of the gods.”

“This man is an apostle? A hero! He is a hero bestowed by the gods, so he should be called a saint.”

“Anyway, long live our majesty!”

With the atmosphere in the McLane Kingdom starting to boil first, it was natural that the morale of the McLane army ahead of war also soared to the sky.

On the other hand , There were places where morale was literally at rock bottom.

“…They say the king of the enemy country is a hero given by God?”

“Oh, no way.”

“It’s true. I heard the temple acknowledged it?”

“…It must be a rumor.”

“It happened before too. There was a rumor that the Empire is the enemy of God…”

“Stop talking nonsense, Ace!”

He was speeding up towards Ruspelheim. The atmosphere in the imperial army was very turbulent, and there were even rumors that deserters were appearing every day.

Even before the war that would determine the future of the continent began in earnest, the atmosphere began to lean towards one side.

“It’s a good start.”

“What the hell?” “What did you do, Your Majesty?”

Despite the admiring questions from those around him, Logan only smiled.

He can’t tell the truth that this was actually the former leader of the Knights Templar’s idea, and the result of the Pope’s enthusiastic response to the idea, as he wants to feed the gods. Because there wasn’t…
