Episode 152 There were two more battles after that day.
The Allied Forces repeatedly retreated, only suffering damage, as they concentrated their firepower on the gap between the two mismatched factions.
However, after a three-day gap after the last battle, the allied forces of the factions began to advance again.
It began to look noticeably different from before.
“It’s a little different this time.”
“Yes. The 2nd Prince’s army actually got easier, but…”
At the forefront of the 2nd Prince’s army, Luther Kyle appeared for the first time in a while, but the Duke of Jordan disappeared.
Thanks to this, the 2nd prince’s army seemed to have less weight, but the 1st prince’s army in the south was quite different.
Wicken Callia was still at the forefront, but a middle-aged platinum-haired wizard wearing a pure white robe appeared right behind him.
A bizarre phenomenon where the surroundings appear distorted just by existing, clearly revealing the power of magical force, an ability that transcends mana.
“With even Juan Douglas coming to the forefront, he must have left the prince’s side empty. This…” “
I guess there has been some kind of agreement. Given that, I don’t know why the Duke of Jordan doesn’t come forward.”
“We also have to consider the sudden protrusion of the fire sword.”
“You can’t use that trick again, right?”
“No one planted it anymore. Even if they tried, it wouldn’t work. It was a technique that could only be used once anyway.”
I didn’t expect them to come to an agreement so quickly.
I just swallowed any additional comments that were unnecessary in the current situation.
When the faces of the McLane father and son who were talking became so hard.
The advance of the factional coalition forces began.
“The arrow is definitely losing strength.”
Not a longbow, but a crossbow. To be honest, it would be unreasonable to say that the quarrels of the repeating crossbows, of which they also had a small number, were underpowered.
However, no one objected to Juan’s expression.
In fact, the number of Quarrels that started flying from Saturn was half or more than the number two or three days ago.
“Either resources are running out or the soldiers are getting tired. Personally, I think it’s both.”
“Yes. It’s definitely time to end it. But Jordan…” Juan
clicked his tongue when he saw the headquarters of the 2nd Prince’s camp, where his rival in the northeast was located, but Wicken looked behind him and shook his head.
‘I already broke my promise once, so it’s even weirder to believe it.’
Who is responsible for accumulating unnecessary damage in this battle that could have been completed in three days?
Wicken did not believe his father-in-law’s excuse that he did not do it.
The Juan Douglas he knew was someone who would have no problem stabbing anyone in the back when they least expected it.
Perhaps it only failed because the second prince’s guard was stronger than expected.
The Duke of Jordan probably thought so too, so he would take the loss and not make a move.
Ah, come to think of it, Jordan Waltermime is even more insidious than his father-in-law….
“Is it okay, His Highness Rohter? If someone over there comes up with a strange idea….”
“It’s okay for about a day.”
“yes?”
“We have taken measures to ensure that it is absolutely safe unless Jordan or Luthor directly intervenes. This is another strength of mages that differentiates them from auror users.”
It was easy to guess when he said he would go to the front, but it seems like there was one more thing he didn’t even tell himself.
It was bitter, but Wicken didn’t bother to argue.
Because I didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble with my father-in-law at a time like this.
“It’s because I’m nervous about going out in person.”
“Huh. As expected, you are uncharacteristically timid as a superhuman. Did I just go out without any defenses? I’m the one on the front line, so I can just see him with my own eyes, and Jordan, I can tell right away when he moves.”
“As expected, you are amazing.”
They even had a spy right next to them.
Wicken, once again consolidating his feelings about what happened last time, just smiled and nodded.
The fact that there were so many hidden things from the same side was unnerving, but it was also reassuring at the same time.
Wicken let go of any anger he may have had.
“Now then, let’s go. As promised, we must first subdue the mage who makes the half-giant tremble.”
“yes!”
The liver viewing is over.
With Wicken’s exciting answer, the elites of the First Prince’s army began to move to the battlefield where arrows and magic bombs rained down.
“come!”
At the brief shout, the faces of the soldiers firing crossbows from the southern and western walls began to harden with tension.
The knight’s signal was none other than the appearance of a human superhuman whom we should be most wary of.
Monsters that lower the morale of soldiers in real time, who can withstand even the pouring of overwhelming firepower.
Moreover, this time, as if the monster that the archduke had barely managed to block was not enough, another monster with an unusual aura was added.
“That author is an ice mage! Concentrate and aim!”
The knight’s words darkened the faces of the soldiers, who were already tired and had sunken eyes.
Logan, who read the atmosphere, shouted in a loud voice that resonated inside and outside the castle.
“A mage is different from an Auror user! Fight like crazy! Just don’t give yourself time to use spells! And I will take charge of the Storm Sword as usual. Hang in there! If you hold on, you win!”
This is something I’ve been hearing endlessly over the past week.
But those words brought some color to the soldiers’ faces.
“Yes, you can!”
“Let’s do it!”
“We’ve been winning so far!”
If you step away and look at it from a third party’s perspective, it may seem strange at first glance.
No matter how much the commander said, it was a sight to see morale rise due to vague and baseless assurances.
However, those in the middle of the battlefield could not sense the strangeness.
Except for the person who created the scene.
‘It’s still just a residual talent, though.’
A talent that arose from recognizing more fundamental energy beyond force.
An art that allows you to control the momentum of those who believe in you in the desired direction, even if only slightly.
Logan believed that as soon as he surpassed the limitations he was currently facing, this talent would be able to develop tremendously.
‘Of course, before that….’
We have to overcome this difficulty.
It was really uncomfortable to turn around with a mage in front of me, but Wicken Calia, who was completely incapable of crossbows and liberatio, which can be said to be the core of McLane, had no one to deal with but himself.
Because of his attributes, regardless of his level, Wicken Callia was the most dangerous superhuman, at least to the MacLine family.
“Hold on! If you hold on, you win!”
Juan smiled bitterly at the absurd nonsense coming from inside the castle.
‘Can I really endure it? It will be different than before, kid. ‘Because I came forward myself.’
Even though he was not an Auror user, his ability to fight on equal footing with Wicken was still incredible, but in other words, it was at best that level.
If he attacked me instead of Wicken, I was confident that I would turn him into a block of ice within the time he had had a cup of tea.
Of course, what he had to do now was not to deal with the guy.
‘Unfortunately.’
The biggest cause of the Second Prince’s army defeating Luther and wounding Jordan was not their new weapon, but the strange magic of the enemy magician.
Of course, as a ‘real’ mage, in my opinion, it was a magic that had fatal loopholes.
‘First of all, I’m only half way through reaching the level…’
Ugh.
Magical power that colors the surroundings as the will moves.
The transcendental power of the ice attribute circle he originally possessed, plus the wind attribute gained by overcoming human limitations, moved and searched for another owner of magical power somewhere in the castle.
‘found.’
And immediately.
‘Stop. And lock him up.’
The power of the ‘real’ mage was revealed as the magic that stops everything, which is a higher concept of the ice attribute, and the magic that prevents all movement, which reverses the concept of the wind attribute, were combined.
A true mage would easily be able to shake off this magical interference with the double attribute plus will.
‘As expected…’
The half-hearted person who used the 6-circle magic as an expedient couldn’t even shake off this.
I could clearly feel that the guy was confused just by the feeling of magical power coming into contact with him.
Juan then smiled and again raised his artifact, Kelahan’s staff, and aimed it at the castle wall in front of him.
“I will block their weapons! Advance!”
Through magical interference, he neutralized half of the enemy and at the same time placed a protective shield of wind and ice over the heads of the front-line allies.
Although it could not protect all of its allies as there were more important tasks already in progress, it was able to reduce the power of the quarrels and bombs falling on the heads of the hundred or so people on the front line by less than half.
And that was enough for the knights.
“The attack has weakened!”
“Hurry up!”
“It’s your chance!”
‘How do you feel? This is the power of a true mage.’
The real mage, who had temporarily shed his weakness as a prince, looked at the changing battlefield with a relaxed smile.
“Shoot!!”
“Pour it all out!”
Rumbling.
Wow!
How did this happen?
The large superhuman who had been defeated so badly in the first battle was running wild like a completely different person than before.
The moment he arrived at the castle wall first and struck it with a war hammer the size of his own body, it felt like the entire castle was shaking.
And then.
“Well, it looks like they did something with magic.”
He stepped on a crack in the wall that had been cracked by his own blow and began to run up the wall.
“Stop it!!”
Padric quickly ran in front of him, but the expressions of the soldiers who were watching the scene turned blue.
Even their lord’s blazing Force blade felt like a wavering candle compared to the brilliant red aura created by that giant.
And their grim predictions soon became reality.
Wow!
“I’ll make you a blood clot!”
The place where the huge war hammer passed.
A bizarre and magical scene unfolded where a person was literally turned into blood in an instant.
‘You must never collide.’
Padric, who had experienced the bitter taste of Auror users several times, condensed his Force Blade as much as possible and avoided all attacks, targeting only the giant’s gaps.
I thought it was fortunate that Luther Kyle was quite slow among superhumans.
Teuong!
A moment’s notice of the young red auror’s armor was enough to crush even the slightest hope.
“Hahaha. What the lord is doing is just like a rat!”
Paaaaang!
Even without an auror, the vicious hammer, which seemed to crush everything it passed by, contained its destructive power and laid waste to the surrounding area.
All Padric can do is focus the superhuman’s attention on himself and minimize the damage.
Of course, his expression couldn’t help but become cruelly distorted.
In that situation.
Flashing.
Ta-da-da-dan!
“What is this…?!”
Luther Kyle’s eyes quickly scanned the surroundings as he nervously flicked away the ‘two beams’ of light.
I was confident that I wouldn’t get hurt even if I just used my body to attack most of the knight’s attacks, but the beams of light just now contained a power that was too powerful to be ignored like that.
‘I don’t think it’s even a high grade at best…? ‘Is this what intermediate level is like?’
Two places about ten meters away from me on each side.
Luther Kyle’s eyes narrowed when he saw the red and blue-haired young knights shooting beams of orange and gray light toward him.
At first glance, his expression looked more vicious, but it was closer to interest than anger.
“Hahahaha! Does the knight use magic or something? This is fun. Yes, I like it. Come on!”
Wow!
The superhuman’s weapon, which maximized his physical abilities, created another storm of blood without hesitation.
visor. visor. visor. visor.
Quang!
Sgak!
“Why don’t you use that method? If you keep sparing it, you’ll just die!”
A slight wound on the cheek caused by the tip of the sword passing by along with a burning sensation.
As the aura seeped into the skin, which was about to die, the remnants of the power of destruction were pushed away with an intense golden force.
And in the meantime, Logan smiled as he saw the snake blade extending out inflicting the same wound on the enemy.
“You should use it when you end your life. You must feel that it doesn’t make much of a difference now, right? Marquis, you will be better.”
Wicken Callia’s distorted expression.
Even though he saw his enemy getting caught in a weight provocation, Logan couldn’t help but feel at ease.
Overall, I could tell just from the surrounding atmosphere that the entire team was being pushed back.
‘Just show me a small gap. I’ll put an end to it right away.’
The very fact that he could think like this about a superhuman showed that he had achieved an achievement that could not be compared to anything before.
Even though it is the result of two powerful stat-boosting artifacts and the power of Lux, Wicken Callia is also using an unusual artifact.
It meant that his personal power was almost approaching that of Wicken in front of him.
Even at this moment, Logan tried to calm his nervousness by focusing on his gradually improving sword skills and his own accomplishments.
However, as the fight with Wicken became more intense, they were frantically moving from place to place and fighting each other like usual.
– Ahhh!
– It’s an attack!
– back!!
Enemy screams began to be heard from far away in the rear of the battlefield.
A head that turns naturally.
Then, a group of troops advancing towards the rear of the Second Prince’s army came into view from the far eastern end.
Compared to the faction’s large army, the number was small, less than half of the total.
The oldest person standing in front of them.
And when he saw the eagle symbol on the military’s flag, a smile appeared on Logan’s face.
