Chapter 154: Long before the civil war broke out, rumors were abundant about the superhumans of the Kingdom of Grandia.
Or rather, the rumors may have been even more prevalent because superhumans rarely used their power directly on the front lines or battlefields.
And among the many rumors, there was always one rumor that people were most interested in.
– So who is the strongest among them?
It is said that there is a difference in the level of Auror users, but no one has been able to directly ask the superhuman about that level.
Among the kingdom’s superhumans, there were magicians, so even if you knew their states, it was difficult to compare them directly.
Because of this, there were many disputes until about ten years ago, but at some point, it was almost resolved into one point.
This is because, unlike the existing rumors in which one of the superhumans directly or indirectly expressed strong dissatisfaction, the superhumans themselves generally agreed.
According to that theorem.
Luther Kyle, the youngest Half Giant, and Wicken Calia, the Storm Blade, were similar.
On top of that, The Flame Blade’s Jordan Walter Maim and Freezing Wizard’s Juan Douglas were said to be difficult to distinguish between superiority and inferiority.
The Sword of Loyal Felix Esperanza was at the top.
And those on the battlefield now could not help but feel the truth of the rumor to some extent.
“The grip of frozen disaster!”
Juan Douglas mobilized magical power to the point where his face was red, binding his movements with an instantaneous personal binding spell that he could never escape.
“Hwaaaap!”
Wicken Kalia, with white wind engulfing her entire body, fired lightning-like strikes at an invisible speed.
“Wwaap!”
And then, towards the cornered swordsman, the superman of great strength swung a war hammer as big as his own body.
Wow!
The moment when the ground with a radius of about ten meters around the impact point explodes like an explosion.
A ray of red light flashed through the dust-filled space.
and.
“Pfft!”
“Damn it!”
“Are you using magic correctly?!”
Long wounds appeared on the bodies of Wicken and Luther, who were fighting close together, as well as Juan Douglas, who was about 20 meters away.
Luther Kyle was irritated by the unbelievable injury, which was the result of only one swing of the sword.
“If not, would you have been able to deal with the opponent? Don’t be distracted and focus!”
Even with a long stab wound on the hand holding the cane, Juan Douglas exuded a vicious and murderous spirit.
They weren’t at a disadvantage.
As if Juan’s boast was not a lie, the swordsman also had a look of difficulty on his pale face.
The momentum I felt was also noticeably weaker compared to the beginning.
This is proof that he is very tired.
but.
The faces of the three superhumans looking at him were full of nervousness.
I couldn’t even imagine that the swordsman would be able to withstand the three of them working together.
And because of this, unwanted changes were occurring here and there on the battlefield.
In particular, Juan and Wicken were busy looking at their base.
“If the three of you don’t think it’ll work out, why don’t you call Jordan too?”
The swordsman’s voice sounds relaxed compared to his tired face.
This was also due to the changing atmosphere of the battlefield.
The swordsman’s meaningful gaze turned far to the south.
* * *
“Follow me!”
“Punch through!”
Doo doo doo doo.
After a series of fierce battles, there are now only about 150 knights left.
And about 1,300 crossbow cavalry.
At first glance, it seemed like an act of suicide to break through the enemy’s main base, which still boasted close to 30,000 in numbers.
Even if there was no superman commanding the enemy, the assault formation for breaking through one point could not fully demonstrate the power of the crossbow cavalry, which can be said to be McLane’s advantage.
However, that suicidal act began to work too easily due to several variables.
The first variable was Logan, who stood at the forefront of the knights.
“Taa!”
By simply extending their swords, the horses of the knights who were running were knocked back and the formation lost its balance.
The strong man, who could control his horse with the force even in surprise situations without losing his balance, cut off the head with the golden force blade drawing a graceful curve.
And if there were several such strong men, the golden giant’s sword that cut tens of meters in front in half devastated the enemy knights.
A monstrous force that far surpasses the simple dance of a top knight.
In fact, after Balton Oil, the only top knight in the County of Trumbell, failed to even receive three sums of money and was divided in two, no one tried to block Logan’s path.
The place where Logan’s sword swept through.
The knights who fell and lost their balance were met with a shower of quarrels, and the swords and hooves of the McLane knights lashed out at the enemies who survived.
The second variable was McLane’s knights who followed Logan.
“die!”
“Get lost!”
Skag.
visor!
One person’s side armor was torn apart by the cross-cutting swords, and another person lost his life.
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk….”
An offensive attack that seeks to kill the enemy with a single blow while ignoring the enemy’s attack.
The MacLine knights were slaughtering their enemies with a fighting spirit that seemed to suggest they would sacrifice their lives in exchange for their bones.
The McLane knights’ strong sword-oriented attitude created a synergy effect with the iron blood sword, producing results that were beyond their abilities.
And the third variable.
“What is this…!”
“It’s a golem! Destroy it…! Billion!!”
“Aaaah!”
30 golems with maces in both hands that are unfamiliar to both enemy soldiers and allies.
At some point, the 3m tall golems, each of which displayed knight-level power, were showing off their mighty power at the front of the McLane Knights, right behind Logan.
Both mace-shaped hands ignored the attack of the enemy knight digging into the golem’s body and struck the enemy.
In human terms, it’s like giving up one’s heart and aiming for one’s limbs.
It was an attack that seemed like a reckless push, shameful to even dare to call it a martial art.
The fact that the person in question was a heartless monster and that he possessed incredible strength more than made up for his shortcomings.
Kwaaaang!
Although some experienced enemy knights came up with countermeasures against the golem.
“Damn it! There’s no core! Destroy the bridge!”
“Argh! Damn it! Find the wizard! I’m sure he’s nearby!”
They could never have guessed that the owner of the monsters, which regenerated less than ten seconds after destroying the bridge, was in the castle far away.
‘It’s nonsense magic…’
The golems were a great help in urgent situations.
Logan recognized at a glance that the source of the magic power was Clayton’s.
However, even with his eyes that could see mana, he could not figure out how such a talent was possible.
I can only guess that something good happened to Clayton.
‘I have reached the level of a 6th circle mage. But what properties did you get to make this possible?’
Although the destructive power that can be unleashed at once was weak for a mage’s specialty magic, the distance and durability over which the magic can be wielded sufficiently make up for its shortcomings.
In any case, it made Logan’s job easier.
“Increase the speed!!”
Logan shouted loudly and added force to the horse he was riding.
The Force, which moves perfectly according to its will, strengthens the tired horse’s lungs and relieves muscle fatigue, increasing its strength.
It’s a bonus that the skin is strengthened to the point where it can repel soldiers’ spears that accidentally stick out with just a scratch.
It was a feat created by the pinnacle of Force horsemanship that was displayed without Logan’s knowledge.
Logan’s horse, with a flame-like glow emanating from its eyes, began to rush forward with greater force than before.
Then, he broke through the enemy lines at the speed of a ray of light, bringing a smile to Logan’s face.
The enemy line was so easily split in two that it felt ridiculous to have prepared for the exhaustion of the Liberatios in my arms and the loss of many of the knights.
* * * ‘I. I…?’
The eyes of Juan Douglas, who was concentrating his magic and binding the swordsman, began to shake.
This was because McLane’s knights were rushing towards their base, splitting them like firewood.
My feelings were complicated by the number of cases I had never expected.
Skag.
“Pfft!”
At that moment, he had no choice but to come to his senses again as the Auror’s blade passed right by him.
Aura Shot.
It is proof that the swordsman has risen to the upper level of Auror user and the reason why he is currently struggling so unexpectedly.
“Concentration!”
And it was an emergency situation that could not be helped even if the arrogant son-in-law spoke informally to her.
His skills, which I felt at first glance during the statement ceremony, were definitely not at this level.
‘gaffer. ‘You’ve been hiding your skills this whole time, right?’
If you make even the slightest mistake, your life could be lost right away.
It was not the time to worry about the situation at the base.
Above all, I was confident that the worst would not come.
‘No matter how young he is, if he isn’t a superhuman, he can’t do anything about my barrier. No, you won’t even be able to see it. ‘At least for one day.’
If there was no need to worry about the prince, the knights who forcibly invaded the base would soon be surrounded and destroyed.
Juan consoled himself like that.
Consciously ignoring the creeping anxiety.
* * * Doo doo doo doo.
As we plowed through the knights in front, the front was completely clear.
Evidence that the response of the 1st Prince’s army has completely changed.
Although he knew that it was an encirclement tactic to surround and break the powerful spear that could not be stopped from the front, Logan thought it was an opportunity and accelerated even more.
‘We must find the prince.’
It is probably under the strictest protection deep inside the base.
A symbol of crossed swords under the phoenix flag, which represents the royal family of Grandia. Logan ran in a straight line while looking at the flag, the symbol of the Douglas family.
However, now that the front was clear, the prince and his guards, who should have been in the deepest part of the area, could not be seen. No, I didn’t feel it.
‘No matter how Juan escaped, he would be guarded by elite troops, right?’
There was no sense of a group of powerful forces anywhere around them, and only the appearance of enemy soldiers moving to surround them was visible.
As Logan pushed his concentration to its limit in this strange situation, a strange feeling caught his sense of transcendence.
Immediately, he rushed forward and stretched out his sword roughly towards the space where heterogeneous power flowed.
Wow!
To the eye, it was just an empty space.
However, Logan’s sword that struck the space bounced back with a loud explosion.
“It’s here! Break it!”
This was probably Juan Douglas doing something with magic.
But now that he’s not here, it’s only a matter of time before the magic barrier is broken.
…I thought so.
So many things that followed in a row . Until it was confirmed that the foreign energy in his senses did not change at all despite the knight’s attack.
Caw!
Boom!
Babababaak.
“…Step back!”
A huge golden sword soared into the air after biting the knights.
Now, Logan. The maximum amount of physical destructive power that could be mobilized hit the invisible curtain.
Whoa! Whoa!
Whoa.
But the flow of heterogeneous energy only trembled once and still showed off its unstoppable majesty.
“Oh my…”
A look of despair appears on Logan’s face.
Thump, thump, thump.
Suddenly, a golem approaches and quickly writes on the ground.
[It is a magic barrier created by a magician pouring out his power. Unless it is an attack using an auror or magic power, it won’t budge. It’s too much for me right now because the distance is so far away.]
“What nonsense is this…!”
The content was more surprising than the new talent Clayton showed.
[There will definitely be a time limit since the person involved is not present. Considering that he left the place with the intention of leaving, it would not be a short period of time, at least an hour or two. Retreating.]
“Absolutely not!”
Logan ignored Clayton’s request to retreat through the golem and stepped forward again.
There were all kinds of situations. It was a shame that he got hit and ended up here, but there were still more moves left that he could use.
Logan ignored the golem, which continued writing on the ground as if it hadn’t heard his voice, and focused his mind and held his sword. I heard,
‘I’m still immature, but…’
Because he had not yet reached the level of a superhuman, he had the power to withstand the destructive properties of Aurors and even though he was weakened by all kinds of tricks, he was able to cut Jordan’s Flame Auras apart for a moment. .
‘you can do it!’
Divine Sword Vision Type 4. Flame Cut (暴炎斬 Heatwave Clash).
A vision containing the concept of cutting through the source of formless energy, different from previous
secret techniques. The burning golden light emitted from Logan’s beloved sword Lux becomes blurry for an instant. A moment.
Whoa whoa.
The empty space split with a loud noise, exposing the flesh inside.
“That’s right…!”
Inside the crack, there were dozens of knights and wizards with puzzled expressions, and a man with platinum hair and blue eyes. Logan saw this and smiled cruelly.
