Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 466
Episode 466 [No way!]
Even though he had just used class 8 magic, the emperor once again poured out explosive magical power.
As if there was a fountain of magic power somewhere inside the body.
The magic power instantly turned into an eight-layer blue shield, blocking the emperor’s path.
– Absolute Shield. It can never be penetrated.
The emperor’s inner thoughts, which were not expressed externally, were clearly read by Logan, who had risen to a higher level.
However, the power to ignore cause and effect and create results was not a power that ‘mere’ class 8 magic could block.
Flashing.
A golden line drawn in the air. A golden line extending from the end of the earth to the end of the sky caught the attention of everyone on the battlefield.
A strong wave and presence that overwhelms the madness of the battlefield.
For a moment, it felt like everything on the battlefield had stopped.
Blah blah blah.
An intense explosion of light swept across the battlefield once again, along with an optical illusion that seemed to split the sky and earth in two around a golden line.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The storm of shock waves that swallowed up all the noise on the battlefield continued for a long time.
The moment when the terrible storm subsides and you can’t even hear the voices of the people next to you.
[The Emperor has fled!]
The Lord of McLane announced the outcome of the clash.
“Wow!”
The shouts of joy from McLane’s army.
“How could His Majesty the Emperor….”
“Retreat! Retreat!”
The sound of the desperate imperial knights hastily retreating echoed throughout Ruspelheim.
[Intercept the fleeing enemy! Chasing outside the castle is prohibited!]
“Eat this and get out, you empire bastards!”
“I’ll put an arrow in your ass!”
Pabababak.
Wow!
The expressions of the McLane army, whose morale was sky-high, and the imperial army, frustrated by the flight of their trusted monarch, were starkly different.
Logan, standing in the center, was glaring at the space where the emperor had been with a stiff face.
‘How…’
The secret techniques of Shingeom’s secret techniques are all techniques for manipulating power that is one level higher than my level. In other words, the power that creates results by twisting the 9th type of Shingeom Vision’s Light Spirit Charm cause and effect is a 9th class level power.
In other words, if the opponent also does not have the power of class 9, it is natural that he will not be able to resist.
However, the emperor, who was clearly using only class 8 magic, shook off that power and disappeared into space.
All he did was sacrifice the ‘cane’ he was holding in his hand.
The process and principles were completely invisible to me, who felt that I was gradually reaching the level of a rookie.
That bothered me.
The Imperial Army was virtually finished. But…
‘If the emperor is alive, it will be a great loss. ‘If it’s not me, I can’t stop it.’
If they fail to kill the emperor, disaster will surely occur. If it were the class 9 magic that was shown earlier, it wouldn’t be that difficult to blow up a city.
This was the reason why he could not fully rejoice in the victory of the war.
But the reaction of those around me was different.
“We did it, we did it, Logan!”
Eilen, whose body was covered in scorched wounds, hugged Logan, who was standing blankly.
She also risked her life.
If she had not been able to defeat the emperor at once, if time had been delayed just a little longer, she would have been reduced to a handful of ashes.
‘okay. I did…’ but
I couldn’t fully take advantage of the opportunity that my companion risked his life for.
Logan’s fist was shaking, but Eilen forcefully opened his hand and made a gesture.
“It’s okay. We won. It must be difficult for the emperor to keep the crumbling empire going.”
Only by those words, which seemed to have read his mind, was Logan able to relax his stern expression.
‘okay. ‘I guess so.’
Rather than seeking revenge, we should protect what is left.
If the 10 western countries that were said to have been defeated in the West hear this news, they will mobilize their remaining troops and start marching again, and McLane will not stop at Ruspelheim either.
‘There is also a declaration of war by the Holy Kingdom.’
Unless the emperor wants the empire to fall, he will have to pay attention to the eastern, central, and western regions. Regardless of your resentment towards yourself.
Moreover, it was clear that the emperor had paid a heavy price in his final offensive.
It was confirmed that one of the things that supported the emperor’s soul, which was forcibly increased in size when the soul was promoted using the trait, was the staff he was holding. And it smashed itself to pieces.
‘Maybe I can’t do level 9 magic anymore… No, let’s not be too optimistic.’
Even as I made that promise, I felt the anxiety in my heart clearly diminishing.
“Sniff.”
Tyr, who had already approached me, nudged me on the back with the bridge of his middle head’s nose as if thanking me for his hard work.
Even though I stumbled for a moment at the blunt cuteness of the guy who had turned into a big guy the size of a house, I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Yes, you’ve worked hard too…”
Before he could finish the sentence, the boy, who had become smaller again, jumped up and fell into Eilen’s arms.
The guy glared at himself for a moment.
“Kkiing.”
Before I knew it, I was scratching Eilen’s slightly burned cheek with sad eyes.
“It tickles, Tyr.”
As I was looking at the scene with bewildered eyes, a one-armed old man staggered towards me, coughing profusely and coughing up blood.
“Phew. I feel refreshed now.”
The old man wiped his blood-soaked mouth and grinned.
“There were no Kassel Mage Tower guys, but can I consider this as repaying the favor?”
What more can I say while looking at that face?
“…Of course. Ha… hmmm. Thank you, Sir Heyman.”
Just seeing three people, two people, and one Shinsu made me feel confident that I was lucky.
So many relationships have gathered here, so intertwined that I couldn’t help but wonder, “How can all these people be here?”
And thanks to that, he was able to achieve a feat that he could not have imagined immediately after returning.
It was clearly an overly pessimistic attitude to be worried about this situation.
Logan instantly shook off his worries as he saw the imperial troops running away and raised his sword.
And then he mustered up all his remaining strength and shouted.
“We won! We defeated the Empire!!!!!”
I could have shouted in a voice, but shouting in a voice like this also had its own effect.
The effect is that it conveys a sense of reality.
“We won!”
“Long live McLane!”
“Long live His Majesty Logan!”
From the cheers that erupted from all over Ruspelheim.
“Wow!”
“your majesty!”
“We won!”
Even the sight of his younger brother, teacher, and other colleagues running towards him.
As I saw this reassuring sight, all my worries about the future seemed to disappear.
‘Okay, now…’
It’s time to enjoy victory.
Logan thought so and opened his arms towards those running towards him.
‘…I think I forgot something.’
Although there was a bit of uneasiness in my heart.
– Long live Macline!
– Long live our Majesty!
The cheers coming from all directions gave me such an overwhelming feeling that I could easily forget the small discomfort.
At that time, Ruspelheim’s underground inner square.
“It’s done! It’s done! …Your Majesty!? Your Majesty!!”
Victoria, who had barely finished transforming the Great Magic Circle, was crying.
“I heard you were able to convey orders just by thinking about it?”
I tried muttering to myself, but as expected, there was no answer.
“Your Majesty! We have completed preparations for the transformation of the Great Magic Circle as commanded!”
Even if I scream at the top of my voice.
Daaaaaa.
Only his own voice echoed back.
‘I can’t help it. Just run it.’
It’s a wartime situation. I couldn’t wait for permission one by one.
Wooooow.
Victoria bit her lip and raised her magic power.
Soon, a modified anti-magic circle was activated to apply intensive suppression to only ‘class 8 superhumans’.
Wooooow.
The moment when a bright blue light that hurts your eyes spreads everywhere.
“It’s okay.”
Victoria wiped away her cold sweat and sighed in relief.
He did everything he could with this.
Now that I have run out of magical power, there is nothing I can do right now even if I return to the battlefield.
All I can do now is…
“Your Majesty, please win.”
Just a prayer to God.
And it was only after a long time that she learned that Logan, who had been hugging his colleagues on the castle wall, suddenly fell to his knees and caused an uproar due to that act.
* * *
– McLane won the war against the Empire.
The world was once again in turmoil with the news of McLane’s victory.
There was no doubting McLane’s victory now. Public opinion was already predicting that the Empire and McLane had a 50/50 chance of winning.
but.
The fact that the imperial army suffered shockingly large losses in a short skirmish, and that the blue meteor that suddenly rained down played a major role in the process, was enough to create a great misunderstanding among the subjects of the continent.
“It’s a divine punishment. It’s a divine punishment given for antagonizing Seongwoong!”
“As expected, our Majesty is definitely a hero given by God!”
“Long live McLane!”
“Whahahaha!”
The Kingdom of McLane was literally full of joy.
“It would have been enough if the punishment had been meted out once, so why start another war?”
“Stupid Empire bastards.”
“But there really is such a hero. I thought the temple was talking nonsense.”
“This person is going to be in big trouble!”
“What do you think? Did I say something wrong? Look at what the temple has been doing recently…”
“It’s a bit…”
Even those who had nothing to do with the empire were busy just admiring it.
It was a misunderstanding that arose because it was not known that the divine punishment was a disaster created by the emperor himself, but the misunderstanding grew bigger day by day because the imperial family could not bear to announce it.
Thanks to this, the people of the empire also began to tremble with anxiety.
“What will happen to our empire?”
“How can the world become like this….”
“The end times. The end times have come.”
“Mom…”
The people of the empire, unable to accept the defeat of the empire, or the defeat due to divine punishment, began to collapse from within.
“The emperor! The emperor has brought disaster!”
“Bring my son back alive, you bastards!”
“Why did you do that? You damned bastards!”
A post-war situation in which hundreds of thousands of soldiers died, the cries of their bereaved families erupted throughout the empire.
This couldn’t have happened in the original empire.
However, the imperial family, which lost most of its troops in the war, was unable to control it.
of course.
“Your Majesty the Emperor?”
“Your Majesty must step forward!”
Even in such a situation, there were some who believed in the imperial family.
It was a trust that came from the expectation that the ability of the emperor, known as the Great Mage, would be able to alleviate some of the damage from this crisis.
However, when the emperor, who was said to have run away from Ruspelheim, was not seen anywhere for several days, the confusion only grew.
– His Majesty is recuperating. Citizens of the empire should not be swayed and engage in their livelihood. The empire is alive and well!
Galen Decade, the Mage of the Cold Wind, and Roctor Gusfeld, the Prime Minister of the Iron Eyes, announced so, but public sentiment, which had already begun to shake, was uncontrollable.
“Haven’t His Majesty died?”
“Don’t say anything horrible!”
“Still…”
Public sentiment was fluctuating to the extent that even the Aserian residents, who were full of loyalty to the emperor and the imperial family, said such things.
And what further fueled the anxiety were the successive declarations of war.
– We, the 10 Western countries, have not forgotten the tyranny of the empire. I will pay for that sin.
The Western remnants who had invaded the empire and been defeated once again gathered their strength and declared an advance.
– The eastern part of the continent is from now on McLane territory. A straight line is drawn based on the old imperial territory of Penna and the eastern part of it is declared McLane territory.
McLane’s unilateral declaration of territory after winning the war followed.
And in that situation.
– We will hold accountable the imperial family that sympathized with the Kassel Tower and used heinous methods.
All the might of the Holy Kingdom gathered in the capital city of Noviense.
A situation unfolded where nothing could be controlled in the name of the empire.
“What really happens to me?”
“The empire is going to fall like this?”
“No way…”
Threats from the west, the victorious countries from the east, and even the forces of the temple that were actually attacking the empire from within the empire.
For the first time since it was named the Empire, the citizens of Ares began to tremble in fear as they realized that their country could be destroyed.
