Episode 419
“God’s will is with us! Attack the entire army!! Crush the dogs of the empire!”
The first to react to Logan’s shout was Galen Decade, who was nearby.
“dog sound!”
The fact that the magic flowed back was proof that the blue pillar of light was caused by magic.
And he knew. What was the emperor trying to do?
Perhaps the current situation happened because something went wrong.
“This is His Majesty the Emperor…!”
Galen, who was about to yell, stopped for a moment.
What should I say?
Is this the emperor’s magic?
But that magic destroyed the imperial army?
Regardless of who would believe it, even believing what he said was problematic.
Logan chuckled, looking at him speechless.
“Keep talking, Mage of the Cold Wind.”
Grumbling.
Anger so deep that it made me grind my teeth, soared through my chest and all the way to the top of my head.
But at that moment, Galen felt something strange.
Although the distance became a bit farther due to that great magic, it was still only about 50 meters. Considering the author’s capabilities, it was a street that was almost right next door.
But why doesn’t he attack his comrades as they stumble from the aftereffects of magic?
There was no need to think deeply. Because there was only one answer.
“The enemy commander is exhausted! Kill him!”
However, the answer to that shout was the rain of quarrels that dyed the sky black and a baptism of red stones.
Babababababaak.
Boom!
Quang!
Kwaaaaang!
“Kill the Empire bastards!”
“Destroy the Imperial Army!”
“The gods protect us!”
McLane’s offensive pouring in from the castle walls.
Is it an illusion that the offensive coming from the central wall, which was completely destroyed, seems to have become stronger than in the first battle?
“Ugh!”
“Keueuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc
“Run away too!”
The central army continued to advance without stopping even when bombardment rained down on it.
That strong spirit and majesty were now nowhere to be found. This was largely due to the fact that most of the elite members of the Central Army, who were leading all troops on the front lines, had evaporated a little while ago.
“Kill the enemy general! I’m tired!”
This was also the reason why no one responded even when Galen shouted at the top of his voice.
“Fuck! Nelly! Celine! Lexi!”
“I… can fight.”
“Your Excellency, just a little more…”
“Ugh…”
Nelly Korda, who gave a positive answer, also had blue veins on her beautiful face. She is also not normal.
‘Can not help it. I have no choice but to take the risk.’
The moment when Galen was injured and tried to forcibly increase his magic power.
The wrong people responded to his shouting.
“Huh, such an article…”
“He behaved in a disgraceful manner, Your Majesty.”
A silver-haired and blonde-haired Auror user who was in a daze as he watched the unexpected tragedy.
The blue light that showed tremendous power of destruction, and the golden light that broke that light. Harmon and Jay, who clearly watched the overflowing flow of energy with their own eyes, finally woke up from the state of heightened spirituality they had been forced into.
“I have a lot to tell you after this battle, Your Majesty Logan.”
Soon, Harmon, or Heyman, spoke in a much more polite tone than before.
Logan tilted his head for a moment at the sudden change in attitude, but this was not the time to chat.
“Can you deal with it?”
“of course.”
“Me too.”
The voices of the two people responding to Logan’s words were full of confidence.
And Galen’s expression became so fiercely distorted.
Slurp.
A battlefield full of pounding noises and all kinds of screams.
The fact that even the sound of a sword being pulled out is clearly audible to the ears, and this may not be just because he is a mage with wind attributes as his basis.
But he couldn’t back down.
‘If you step back from here, there will be no more left behind.’
Defeat in a war personally initiated by the emperor.
It was a terrible home just to imagine.
so.
‘Your Majesty, you must step forward now!’
Galen’s expression as he looked at the main camp behind him couldn’t help but be earnest.
Could it be that the wishes of only two people, or now just one person, who knew the emperor’s true abilities?
His eyes saw a golden figure wrapped in blue light rushing through the air from the main camp in the distance.
‘your majesty!’
Galen’s face glows brightly.
But that face couldn’t help but distort right away.
Because of an unknown aura user who came right in front of me and spewed out a silver aura.
“Damn it!”
Quaaaaaaaaa!
The four magicians, including Harman, Jay, and Galen, became entangled and started fighting.
Added to that were the noises of the battlefield.
Pabababak.
“Aaaah!”
bang!
“Aaaah!”
“die!”
visor!
Ugh.
Even though all kinds of noise was flooding in, no one came close to Logan. It was a sight that clearly showed the imperial army’s already low morale.
‘At this time, I have to deal the final blow.’
But he could no longer contribute to the turmoil on the battlefield. As Galen guessed, it was because his strength was completely exhausted.
It wasn’t even simply exhaustion due to depletion of the Force.
‘The power of desire has diminished. Is it temporary or…’
Even though I tried to slightly increase the remaining force, the shining golden light seemed to have dimmed a little due to my mood.
The sense of elation and omnipotence that came from manipulating the cause and effect of great magic and dropping it on the enemy lines had already disappeared without a trace. The soul that was looking beyond the end of the Aura Master also seemed to have weakened more than before.
It all felt like a reaction that diminished the power of my desire.
And perhaps because of that, Logan recognized the golden armor flying towards this place much later than Galen.
‘Emperor!’
For a moment, his face became cold.
A spirit that can be felt even from afar.
With that overwhelming sense of intimidation, Logan could tell at a glance that he was a great mage of the 7th circle who had clearly surpassed the level of a mage.
Of course, I felt tremendous pressure when I saw him at the imperial palace a few years ago.
A person who treats the highest officials of the empire like servants with just one or two words.
The charisma created by that elegance and momentum alone caused an enormous psychological burden.
But…
‘A great mage?’
Even if it was absurd, it had its limits.
The emperor of the most powerful nation on the continent is also the strongest in terms of human military power?
However, the disastrous magic from earlier could not be explained otherwise.
The only small consolation was that the face that was staring straight at me was distorted.
‘comfort?’
Eat.
I laughed out loud because it was funny to think of such a thought.
In some ways, it is a desperate situation.
But why don’t I feel tense?
The moment I was wondering about myself, I heard a welcome voice from behind me.
“Logan!”
Eilen, the owner of the voice heard from far away, quickly approached like a gale. In that brief moment, I could clearly feel that my wife’s level had risen to a higher level.
However, the approaching wife’s face was full of urgency rather than joy.
“The emperor is the great mage…!”
She was running, shouting out words that were much too late at the latest, but then she saw the approaching emperor and stopped with a stern look on her face.
And only then did Logan’s complexion become as hard as stone as he remembered the important thing he had asked for.
If the Emperor was the Great Mage, he was effectively ordering the two most important members of his army to commit suicide.
“What about Leah and Clayton!?”
“Leah is just a little tired, but she’s okay. But…”
Logan spoke urgently before his wife could finish speaking.
“Help them get rid of the mages. I will take charge of the emperor.”
“still…!”
“hurry!”
Eilen paused for a moment at the shout, looked at the approaching emperor for a moment, and then immediately joined the fierce battle between mages and superhumans.
And just seconds later.
“Yes you guy!!!!!!!”
The emperor appeared in front of Logan with a distorted face and no trace of his noble appearance from a few years ago.
Wooooow.
Blue magical power surging from a body clad in golden armor.
The overwhelming momentum immediately caught the attention of those around him, even in the midst of a noisy battlefield.
“How on earth could you…!?”
A face mixed with anger and confusion.
Is that question why they don’t attack right away?
‘It’s good for me if you take the time.’
Feeling his strength starting to recover, Logan put on a relaxed smile.
“It’s been a long time, Your Majesty.”
“Tell me! How did you twist Extinction, which is the highest level magic among the 8 classes of magic? If you tell me the reason, I will kill you painlessly.”
8 classes?
I was momentarily surprised by the unexpected word, but then I nodded as I thought about the results that magic had created.
‘The level of the soul and magic power is definitely class 7. ‘I guess they used some other means.’
Is it because of his relaxed appearance?
“Don’t test my patience, Logan McLane!!”
The emperor shouted loudly. For some reason, the sight of him gritting his teeth and suppressing his anger wasn’t scary at all.
The emperor was more scared when he sat on the throne and oppressed people with his words than now when the Absolute Man was spewing out magical power like crazy with his whole body.
Overwhelming charisma and endless confidence. Numerous talents who move at once. The atmosphere created by all of it coming together was truly daunting.
‘But not now.’
Right now, there was only one grand mage who was emitting magical power. A wizard who lost his composure.
Suddenly, I felt the emperor’s shadow in my heart gradually disappearing.
Logan chuckled without realizing it.
“With that power, it would be better to rush into the battlefield right away and turn the tide of the war. Is there any point in arguing with me here like this?”
Logan’s gaze, acting relaxed, scanned the surroundings.
Beyond the space where the two people existed, screams and loud noises continued to erupt.
The emperor passed by the whole scene as if nothing had happened, as if he were watching an image inside a magic sphere.
“Hmph. No matter how many worms there are, they are still just worms. Aren’t you the kingdom?”
Oh, that’s what you think.
‘This is absurd.’
The sight of the emperor saying that he was an empire was certainly impressive, but I never thought he meant it.
Just as I was about to laugh out loud at the absurdity, I heard the emperor’s voice again.
“So tell me. The possibilities in your answer will determine the extent of your final suffering.”
All that was contained in his black eyes was anger and greed.
It seemed like it was probably his desire to improve as a wizard. To him, that is more important than the minions dying around him.
‘Was I just afraid of someone like this?’
A person who showed off more powerful force than anyone I had ever encountered seemed ridiculous.
Then, the moment Logan realized that feeling, he was startled.
Whether it’s the emperor who rules the empire or the 7th Circle’s Tsushima incident.
It would be difficult to deal with anyway, so why isn’t he afraid of the emperor in front of him?
And as soon as he thought of that question, he realized the answer.
“ah…!”
The emperor’s soul is the size of that vessel.
‘see. ‘Totally.’
It did not simply mean that one could manipulate the power of the soul.
Seeing and reading the soul is only possible for beings that are equal to or inferior to oneself.
That means.
‘It means I’m no better than him.’
The feeling of deprivation felt from the depleted power of desire. The feeling that my soul had actually regressed was an illusion.
Beyond what I saw when I fully unfolded the 9th Divine Sword Vision.
This was because the level beyond that of the Auror Master brought on even greater feelings of deprivation to those who had ‘elevated the rank’.
Logan finally realized this and a faint smile appeared on his face.
And the smile on the emperor’s face became even more distorted.
“Are you laughing? Huh…”
Blue magical power surged from the body of the enraged emperor, coloring all the surrounding space with his own color.
“Good. There’s nothing we can do even if the information is damaged. Let’s pull out the soul and check. That’s stupid.”
An absolute realm that seemed to be a higher level expression of the red space quarantine that the sword spirit had shown earlier. Everything within that realm was as if it were being held in the emperor’s grasp.
Perhaps the sword spirit was trying to imitate the emperor’s ability with a sword.
“Just crush it.”
The moment the emperor’s hand, wearing golden gauntlets, was grasped.
The space itself compressed and crushed Logan’s body.
No, it had to be that way.
If it weren’t for the golden aura shining through the gap.
