Episode 298 ‘Ugh?!’
A feeling of extreme discomfort that he had never experienced in his entire life came over Logan’s whole body.
For a moment, I was taken aback by the gray energy that instantly entered my body and tried to take over my body.
The moment Logan raised his force to resist that energy, the unpleasant feeling that covered his entire body disappeared in an instant like melting snow on a spring day.
“under?”
The feeling of being nervous disappeared so easily that it was embarrassing.
Even in the midst of his embarrassment, Logan instinctively turned his gaze to find the source of the energy that attacked him.
The center of enemies.
Someone wearing a black robe was being heavily guarded by knights who looked elite at a glance.
The moment our eyes met beneath the robe, I felt like I could see his distorted expression.
‘I don’t know what happened.’
The goal became clear.
Heehee!
“I’ll kill you!!”
Silver light sparkles in words and body.
Logan, who once again focused his attention on the battlefield, began to cross the enemy lines alone.
“Stop it!”
“He’s alone!”
“Kill me!!”
Shouts erupted from all over the battlefield as they saw the silver horse charging at them.
The only way for a large army with no significant opponent to catch an Auror user. Waves of humans surged toward Logan.
A well-prepared mage might not know this, but an average Auror user would faint from exhaustion while cutting down a person.
but.
“Everyone get out!”
With a loud roar, a beam of brilliantly shining silver light soared high. The beam of light that shot up nearly 70 meters was soon swung horizontally by the giant’s sword.
Ugh.
With an optical illusion that seemed to split space, all of Logan’s frontline troops, including knights and soldiers, collapsed at once. A corner of the battlefield was literally devastated.
The enemy soldiers who were watching from behind screamed in horror on behalf of the dead who were torn in two without even being able to scream.
“Aaaahhh!”
“Oh devil!”
“It’s a monster!”
‘now!’
At that moment, Logan gritted his teeth and rushed among the panicked enemy soldiers.
Ugh.
The heart’s force core was vibrating fiercely to regain the strength that had been lost by more than a third at once.
Although it was not an auror, but rather a force-based attack to split the ground, it was quite an unreasonable blow considering that the force was forcibly limited.
Even if we were to simply consider the efficiency of defeating the enemy, it was extremely inefficient and a complete waste of energy.
However, he cannot face tens of thousands of armies alone. A kind of performance was needed that would lower the enemy’s morale and raise the morale of our allies.
And Logan’s plan worked great.
“Stop it! I mean stop it!”
“How on earth…”
“Such a monster…”
Despite the commander’s shouts, the panicked enemy soldiers were unable to block Logan’s sprint, and cheers erupted from the Liberty Army upon seeing the scene.
“Silver Reaper!”
“Gyle Slayer!”
“The Silver Reaper is with us!”
Perhaps there weren’t that many magicians on the battlefield, but after Logan started swinging his sword everywhere, there was no group chaos like before.
The Liberty Army soon reorganized its line and began to follow Logan.
“Didn’t you say you would take care of that monster!? What are you doing now!”
Kaltun of the Kingdom of Romero, commander of the Allied Forces, shouted at the black-robed mage standing in front of him. It was a completely different look from when they cheered as they watched the enemy lines collapse at the beginning of the battle.
However, the moment the black-robed mage turned around with his blue eyes flashing, his face, which had been shouting with urgency, turned pale.
Soon, an eerie voice flowed from the black robe’s mouth as he turned his head again to check the battlefield.
“Useless things…”
The surrounding guard knights naturally flinched, but the magician Gerohin’s eyes, staring at the approaching Logan, were quite shaken.
‘Soul Breakers came at perfect timing. ‘But why?’
I didn’t understand.
Unlike its lower level magic, Mind Breaker, Soul Breaker was a magic created for ‘destruction’ rather than ‘brainwashing’ of the mind. It was even created to deal with superhumans in the first place.
‘But you shake it off so easily?’
If a magician could so easily shake off the amplified magic of a magician through thorough preparation, there would be no reason for the magician to be called a superhuman like an auror user in the first place.
Moreover, their magic was still barely known in the current world, so it would not have been possible for them to prepare in advance. No, even if I had guarded against it, it seemed like I overcame it very easily.
So much so that it reminds me of the ‘nemesis’ from the legend of the tower.
But that couldn’t have been the case.
‘It’s powerful, but the color of the force is different.’
If he had shown golden force instead of silver, he would have used a different tactic than the mental magic Soul Breaker.
All sorts of thoughts filled Gerohin’s head, but he quickly concentrated his mind again and raised his magic power.
I received a report that the contract with the 2nd prince has been extended. Then, unlike in the Principality of Tahiti, excuses for failure would not work.
At this time, the tower that has been silent in the dark for a long time is about to enter the world again.
While making this request, the Tower decided that the new settlement would be a union of small kingdoms in the east.
No matter how much he was one of the tower’s elders, successive failures would not be forgiven.
– ‘The era when the gods left’. The signs of that prophecy were confirmed.
Gerohin gritted his teeth as he recalled what the tower’s leader and his teacher had said. Seeing it reminded me of the big catch I missed in the Principality of Tahiti.
“I’ll kill you!”
Mental magic is not his only specialty.
As the eerie voice let out the roar of a wild beast, the gray magic power began to move roughly according to the will of its owner.
‘Magic!’
Logan clearly saw the moment the gray magic moved.
However, it was different from previous methods that only attacked the human mind.
Push shoo shoo.
Suddenly, gray thorny vines popped out from the ground.
The thorny vines that entangled the entire galloping horse were surrounded by auras, completely blocking the gallop of the horse, which could easily deflect most spear and sword attacks.
Wood clatter.
Heeeeeee!
The horse became covered in blood the moment it was forced through the thorn vines.
As soon as I could break through the gray barrier that had risen so high and blocked my view, a huge black snake lunged at me with its mouth wide open, blocking my view again.
“Tch!”
Quaaaang!
When the black snake’s head smashed into the space where Logan was.
He had already kicked off his horse’s saddle, jumped through the air, and was racing towards the mage.
“Taa!”
The distance between me and the mage narrowed in an instant.
Now, the pale face beneath the black robe was clearly visible to my extra senses.
However, the short space was soon filled with knights.
Also, the knights whose eyes were unusually red and whose faces were bulging with dark red veins.
“Kyaaaaak!”
“Kaaah!”
The knights swung their respective weapons with shouts that could not be determined whether they were screams or excitement.
A man who was only an ordinary knight threw a sword strike that could shatter a rock with a sword full of force, while the middle-level knights radiated a clumsily tangible force and swung their weapons like lightning.
‘crazy…!’
Even at a glance, it is clear that the magic was to sacrifice an ally.
Viktor’s report that it seemed like the work of the devil played in my mind again.
At the same time, I felt regretful.
‘If only I had the Wind God’s boots.’
If I had the original equipment, I would have ignored the attack and jumped through the air, but I couldn’t do that now.
Logan used his ghostly shadow to its full potential to shorten the distance and penetrate the gap between the knights.
Fortunately, the attacks of the knights, who seemed to have lost their minds, although threatening, were not elaborate.
“Cruk.”
“Ugh.”
Because of this, Logan was able to cut down the minimum number of knights and approach the mage with only a ‘slight’ delay.
But that little bit of time seemed to be enough time for the enemy.
“go away!!”
A powerful shock wave that seemed to shatter the entire space struck the area where Logan was, along with a loud roar filled with intense anger and hostility.
Wow!
Rumbling.
The entire area of Gerohin was devastated in an instant, and thick dust rose up.
“How dare you…”
Gerohin, whose complexion had become even paler due to using great magic in succession, smiled in remorse.
And at that moment, he felt a burning sensation behind his back.
but.
Skag.
“Ok…”
Before he could turn around, an exhilarating sensation as if his whole body had been pierced straight through came over him.
dump.
A body splitting in two and falling down.
In the only remaining blue pupil, only the image of the goal of recovering the ‘golden’ aura was vaguely reflected.
Mandible. Mandible.
Logan controlled his heavy breathing and looked at the corpse of the mage with tired eyes.
‘It was dangerous.’
At the last moment, in order to transform the force, he raised the aura he had been suppressing and even briefly mobilized his characteristics.
If he hadn’t done that, he would have fallen.
– No matter what happens, I can keep my body safe.
I never thought I would feel the danger of my life in a place where I came to help someone else’s war with such a relaxed mind.
‘What on earth are these guys?’
A strange mage who uses unprecedented magic in succession. These were people I had never even heard of through rumors in my previous life.
But there was no time to wonder about his identity.
“The enemy mage has been defeated!!”
After recovering his breathing, Logan spread his ‘silver’ aura in the air again and shouted loudly.
That soon sealed the fate of the second rotation.
* * *
“Wow!”
“I won!”
“We won!”
After the rotation on the plains was over, the battlefield was filled with three cheers for Liberty’s army.
In fact, Liberty alone destroyed the main forces of three of the four countries that were the main targets of this conquest. It was such a great victory that Liberty considered not just becoming the head of a coalition, but also becoming a conqueror.
However, most of the loud cheers were directed not to the country, but to the superhuman Guile Slayer, who turned the battlefield around.
“Long live Liberty!”
“Long live the Silver Reaper!”
“Long live Guile Slayer!”
Karyl Zamod grinned while hearing the soldiers’ cheers and lowered his head at a 90-degree angle toward Logan.
“Guil-nim. It’s only a matter of time before the three countries are sorted out. It’s all thanks to Guile-nim.”
The person who had shown a blunt and dismissive attitude at first was no longer there. There are only flatterers who keep rubbing their hands as if they don’t care if their palms are worn out.
However, the person involved was not ashamed of it at all.
‘As a knight before being a nobleman, how could I not respect such a great knight?’
Because I was thinking this myself.
Of course, there were other calculations inside.
If Liberty becomes the hegemony of the Union due to this war, the man in front of him will have at least the status of Archduke Gunther, so he thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get a good look at it in advance.
He believed that his true intentions would not be revealed at all, but among those watching him now, there was no one who could not sense it.
However, the person who was actually the recipient of the flattery was frowning as he held up a small, plain ring.
“count.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Have you heard anything about the mage who died by my hand?”
“Ah… that’s that…”
“Then what about this strange pattern?”
As Logan injected force into the ring, the image of a black snake coiled in a blue circle appeared in the air.
This is the only pattern that Logan has seen in person for the second time.
But now I couldn’t just ignore it like before.
“I’m sorry, Your Excellency. We will investigate as quickly as possible.”
I knew it.
Logan sighed softly and shook his head.
‘It must be a huge group to put mages on the front lines of the Small Kingdom Alliance. Just how much power does the empire have within it?’
For Logan, who did not know that those who wore the black snake symbol were hostile to the Empire, his worries only deepened.
And because of his appearance, Liberty’s commanders had no choice but to stand there awkwardly, unable to show any joy even after the great victory.
In that situation.
“The war between the Kingdom of Calun and the Kingdom of Teronan…”
News was delivered that caught everyone’s attention.
