139 As I told my close associates, it was expected that Bipros would leak information and that the enemy would come looking for him because of it.
However, I had no idea that the period would be this fast, much less could I have imagined that it would be an army of superhumans.
“Are you saying it’s okay for the crazy base to be robbed?!”
If McLane had any regrets about the Second Prince faction, he would have communicated right away at this moment.
The Storm Sword is here with its elite, so attack the First Prince Sect’s castle immediately.
The damage caused was at first glance difficult to imagine.
Regardless of the size of the troops, the value of a superman on the battlefield was incomparable to that of the two margraves in terms of tactical utility and morale.
In other words, the First Prince faction thought of McLane much more seriously than Logan thought.
“Damn, the timing is really…!”
A battle was just about to end.
Scattered troops whose victims are not even known.
“Quickly line up! Quickly!”
I tried repeatedly to urge them, but when I saw the speed at which they were approaching, it seemed like they would hit the rear before even half of them were gathered.
Especially that Wicken Kalia.
“As soon as the platoon unit gathers, launch a salvo! The firing time is up to the commander! The target is the approaching superhuman!”
The impatience contained in Heinkel’s shout made the troops move a little faster.
and.
“Shoot!”
Pabababak!
The first thousand crossbow cavalry lined up and aimed their crossbows at ‘one person.’
The number gradually increased as McLane’s troops gradually formed a line.
but.
The black rain of death pouring down.
It was clearly a powerful attack that even a superhuman could not ignore.
‘If it’s another superhuman.’
The Storm Blade Wicken Callia smiled confidently even as she watched the thousands of Quarrels raining down on her.
In a situation like this, your rival, who comes to mind at first glance, would have no choice but to stop and defend, as his large size would become a target.
If there is no external help, you could end up getting hurt or in a worse situation.
But he is different.
Ugh.
The power of wind that has been gained by overcoming human limitations.
Just by operating it for a moment, his surroundings became an iron-walled fortress.
‘It’s a perfect barrier, at least as far as projectile weapons are concerned.’
As expected, thousands of quarrels were blocked by the wall of wind he created, bent, collided with each other, and were chipped away.
Taking advantage of that opportunity, he narrowed the distance even further and got right in front of the enemy camp before the soldiers could fire a second arrow.
“Come on! Let’s play!”
The wind attribute power that wrapped around his entire body added to his speed, and his beloved sword, Transfixio, began to glow white.
Thrust, which maximizes the characteristics of the rapier, was his specialty from the time he was inexperienced, and later, when he became a superhuman and possessed the power of the wind attribute, it developed into a secret technique that pierced numerous enemies in a straight line.
‘Voltex!’
Just as a white whirlpool was about to pour out from the beloved sword held out with a confident smile.
A huge golden sword attacked right in front of me.
Wow!
“Oops!”
Logan was pushed back senselessly from the impact of his earth-splitting strike, which felt as if it had been completely pulverized.
A slightly different feeling from having the force offset by an equal or stronger impact.
Ugh.
The splitting of the earth, as if it had been forcibly destroyed, placed a heavy burden on the heart’s force core.
A rapier emitting white light suddenly appeared in front of Logan, who was barely able to keep his mind and straighten his posture.
“-MacLine!”
When the enemy’s voice, which seemed to have been spoken immediately after the collision, was heard vaguely in my ears, the opponent’s sword blade had already touched his armor.
But fortunately.
Kwaaaaang!
“Cough!”
A bright red Force Blade suddenly approached and struck the sword away.
But the price was great.
My father, blood spurting out from the corner of his mouth, stepped back frantically.
At first glance, the internal injuries were serious, but there was no time to help my father.
I saw the enemy frowning slightly and stabbing his father and himself at the same time as if they were two bodies.
‘yet!’
No matter how superhuman he is, he cannot be defeated like this.
Logan ignored the enemy’s sword strike that came at him like lightning and stabbed his sword straight at the enemy.
The golden ray of light emitted from his sword point extended towards the enemy’s body faster than anyone else, as if reflecting his will.
Paaang!
Logan’s expression hardened as he saw the light of the iron cleave passing through the enemy’s afterimage, but he sighed in relief when he saw his father, who had been staggering, correct his posture.
Of course, even that was only for a moment.
“It’s even better than what I heard. What a great young man.”
The face of a skinny superman with a cold smile came right in front of me.
“Waaah!”
The shouts of the enemy knights were now starting to be heard right nearby, and the shouts of our allies, who were fighting against them, were gradually getting louder.
It was a battle that might decide the fate of the family, but Logan did not have the presence of mind to watch the whole process.
The enemy in front of you was a powerful enemy that wouldn’t be surprising if it took your life the moment you lost focus even for a moment.
“Ugh!”
Push.
The result of the light wind noise was terrifying.
Even though I thought I had dodged it as soon as I felt the movement, I couldn’t stop it from blowing a hole in my left shoulder.
However, the enemy must have thought that even this was unexpected, and with a deeper smile, he swung his sharp sword one after another.
An optical illusion where the same movement appears overlapping countless times.
The pointy tip of the sword, which was shaking endlessly, seemed as if it would pierce every part of my body, no matter how I defended myself.
In response, Logan attempted to block the barrage of thrusts by pouring out 16 layers of golden waves from his entire body.
Push shoo shoo.
“Ugh! Shit!”
The result was a penetrating wound through both thighs, right side, and right shoulder.
“Hoo. In the meantime, you protected a vital area? Quite… Where!”
Fuuuuk.
“father!”
The moment when my father, who was leisurely admiring the enemy, was attacked by surprise and was seriously injured by being pierced through the stomach.
Even in this critical situation, Logan took out a last resort, blaming himself for trying to hide his last source of funds.
Ugh.
The pure white light emitted from the left wrist healed five penetrating wounds in an instant.
Then it shot out golden rays of light one after another.
The iron cleaver became much more efficient thanks to the realization of the previous battle. Those murderous beams of light were aimed at the superhuman in front of him one after another.
But the results were not very satisfactory.
Whoops! visor!
bang!
Despite the attack using its last resort, the enemy was able to take all of Logan’s attacks without any damage.
His expression seemed to have hardened somewhat and his composure had disappeared, but there was no sense of crisis.
His face was filled with confidence that Logan’s sword would never reach him.
‘There’s such a difference…’
The confidence that had increased after learning the snake blade continued to erode.
Moreover, it wasn’t just his confidence that was being undermined.
bang! visor!
Every time he collided with the enemy’s rapier clad in pure white light, Logan’s Force Blade disappeared for an instant, shaking his heart.
A strange and violent feeling, as if something was forcibly pulled out by force rather than being broken by a strong impact.
It was a ridiculous situation considering that Wicken Callia was evaluated as having weak striking power among superhumans and focusing on attributes and speed.
‘Nonsense! How can there be such a difference…?!’
The moment when despair erodes Logan’s mind.
The golden Force Blade, which was constantly being pulled out and shining again, was completely erased.
‘no!’
When he realized his mistake, the opponent’s sharp sword was already in front of him.
A moment when you can vividly imagine the enemy’s sword piercing your eye, penetrating your brain, and exiting the back of your head.
‘in action!’
In the midst of a crisis, my extremely heightened consciousness allowed me to move my body little by little, ignoring the pain and torrent of alien forces that had taken over my entire body.
However, it was still infinitely slower compared to the opponent.
When you feel like you have already used up Lux’s time acceleration, which can only be activated once a day.
It felt as if the white light surrounding Wicken Callia was suddenly weakening.
‘explosion?’
The moment you see the other person’s expression distort and their head turn back.
‘uh…?’
That deceptively perfect timing presented Logan with another miraculous moment.
The process of the daylight surrounding Wicken Callia’s body and weapon disappearing and the rapier’s aura becoming blurred was clearly felt.
The feeling felt as the aura was converted back into force, a lower energy, was like showing the process of auror manifestation in reverse.
A sensory process that even most Auror users cannot clearly explain in words.
It was clearly imprinted in Logan’s heightened consciousness.
furthermore.
“What is this…?!”
Along with the embarrassed voice, Wicken Callia’s movements were felt to slow down significantly.
The reason was unknown, but Logan did not miss that golden opportunity.
Flashing.
‘Aurors scatter the force? Then just don’t touch it!’
Logan’s Force Blade curved like a snake, avoiding the wind aura and aiming for the enemy’s life.
* * *
“Prepare to charge!”
visor! visor!
The knights responded by clashing their weapons to the voice of Heinkel, who commanded the McLane army on behalf of the lord and archduke who were dealing with superhumans.
I never dared to get involved in a fight with a superhuman whose movements were difficult to follow with my eyes.
However, although the number was slightly reduced in successive battles, there were still more than 160 knights, radiating ferocious energy and waiting for instructions.
The morale of the knights, brought on by successive victories, was still high.
Even the knights of Ferretta who survived through several battlefields were naturally assimilated based on the strong camaraderie that had suddenly developed.
Before they knew it, McLane’s soldiers, standing tightly together to their left and right, were constantly firing crossbows at the approaching Knights of Calia.
On one side, the golems of the Golem Magic Tower were continuously throwing Liberatio, creating explosions that were still far away.
Kwaaaaang!
Pabababak.
“Aaaah!”
Screams erupted intermittently from the enemy lines, but the speed of the enemy knights’ advance did not slow down one bit.
At one point, the screams were barely audible.
Within the enemy knights, about a dozen knights were throwing things and intercepting bombs falling on the knights’ heads.
Among them, one knight caught the eye of Heinkel, wielding a red force blade over 3 meters long and blocking crossbows and bombs at the forefront of the knights.
A bloody force that can be felt even from afar.
‘Jorge, Commander of the Knights of Calia.’
Although he didn’t have a good nickname because he rarely engaged in outside activities, he was a knight renowned for being the second-best military force in the Marquis of Calia.
Heinkel looked for an enemy that was clearly stronger than him with tense eyes, and kept looking for an opening.
But no matter how much I watched, there was only one thing to believe in the end.
‘They must have been exhausted as they rushed through a barrage of crossbows and bombs. you can do it!’
Even if they had devised their own means of defense, the combination of crossbows and bombs was steadily inflicting damage on their enemies.
Moreover, other than him, there is no one among his allies who can stop him.
All of the allies who can now deal with the author with ease…
Heinkel forced his gaze to keep returning to the battleground between the lord and son and the superhuman, who were fighting in an area that was difficult for others to access.
Rather than clumsily getting in the way and getting in the way of a fight that moves so fast that even your eyes can’t follow it, it’s your job to deal with the best knight here.
Thinking like that boosts my fighting spirit.
– father!
I couldn’t help but reflexively turn my head to the shout of a familiar voice.
And then, in his eyes, the image of his master collapsing helplessly with blood spurting from his abdomen came into view.
At that moment, his mind turned white.
-Although we have already handed over all power, you should also give strength to Logan. Won’t you gain authority as a successor only if you show that you are clearly following him?
– yes? haha. Still, my lord is still a lord. Of course, he will be loyal to Confucius too…
– Hehe, this guy. What I’m saying is that from now on, you should value Logan more than me.
– That can’t be possible. I will retire with you when you retire.
– That’s difficult. Are you still…
– The lord also corrects himself. Did you forget? When I was ordained as a knight, the lord said that he would allow me to rest when he retires.
– …I think it’s a bit of a glorified memory. That meant that I would pamper him until he died. At that time, I didn’t know that I would have such a talented son.
– Then please remain my master until I die. Your Majesty, you are still young.
– haha. You are probably the only one in our territory who says that right now.
– For me, there will always be only one lord.
– haha. Still, if something happens to me…
– …Why do you say that?
– I’m saying this because I have a bad feeling. Just in case. Anyway, make sure to push Logan then.
– I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it.
– Oh man…
the conversation ended in laughter.
The moment that conversation came to mind, Heinkel’s body moved on its own.
