Episode 156 ‘Somehow, by any means necessary, we must kill him.’
I can’t hold on anymore.
Victory.
You have to kill the superhuman in front of you.
And the second strongest Auror user in the kingdom.
During the short time he stayed in the air, Logan came up with all kinds of plans in his head.
As I was one of those people who had heard a lot and imagined countless duel scenes, I came up with estimates easily, but there were very few positive results.
Logan landed on the ground with a firm expression, reflecting on some of the positive probabilities among them.
Just 10 meters in front of the Duke of Jordan.
‘But they don’t mobilize their subordinates.’
Satisfied that the worst had been avoided for now, Logan checked the location of another important ‘target’ out of the corner of his eye.
and.
“You did such a ridiculous thing. That was absurd…”
Blame.
The moment Jordan, who had a relaxed expression, opened his mouth to say something, he rushed straight in front of him.
Flashing.
Whirling.
The moment the golden force blade curved like a living snake and aimed at Jordan’s neck, the superhuman’s eyes distorted slightly.
– Jordan? You mean that guy? Hmm, as you probably know, he is a superhuman and specializes in the flame attribute. His swordsmanship is quite good, and he seems to have strengthened his body in some way as well as specializing his body. Of course, there are no special weaknesses.
The characteristics of the Jordan Walter mime mentioned by the teacher were hopeless.
– But how can I be stronger than him? Simple. I’m much faster than that guy.
The basis of martial arts is control of space.
And control of space was determined by speed, not power.
– Because I can hit him unilaterally and he can’t hit me.
No matter how different your level is, if you can hit without getting hit, you can win.
And who I am now.
‘I competed on equal footing with Wicken Callia, who has the wind attribute.’
That was the reason why Logan could hope to win even a little.
but.
“Hmph. A few tricks.”
The red auror’s greatsword swung with a low snort and struck the middle of the snake blade without giving it a chance to lose its strength.
bang!
“Ugh!”
Rumbling.
I thought I had grown by dealing with storm swords for several days in a row, but I was helplessly pushed back by a single sword.
What was more frustrating than the powerful power contained in the sword was that the sword’s speed was much faster than expected.
It was on a completely different level from what I experienced before, when I was trying to make a move while under Clayton’s magic.
With just that one movement, it was easy to see that Jordan’s agility was equal to or greater than his own.
But Logan did not despair.
‘The first plan is destroyed. ‘Going to plan two.’
Logan turned his body diagonally and stabbed his sword into the side as he saw the blazing red auror approaching before he knew it.
If you collide, you will not be able to avoid serious injury, but your opponent will also be seriously injured.
The golden force blade struck the auror at an angle while maintaining its presence and targeting the enemy’s vital points.
Jordan’s great swordsman, who twitched his eyebrows again, was the first to show a change.
Paaaaang!
“You act crazy calmly, unbefitting a nobleman.”
“Thanks for the compliment!”
Logan, who was thrown away, quickly closed the distance again while muttering nonsense.
At that moment, Jordan, who had flame aura burning all over his body, shot out even faster.
The moment when the gap between the two disappears in an instant and they come face to face.
Ignoring the great sword that swung diagonally from the bottom left to the top and split his entire body, Logan shot out a beam of golden light.
The attack was not one of stabbing each other in a friendly manner like before, but rather an attack of wanting to die together like this.
Jordan, whose face visibly stiffened, paused for a moment, but his body glided and occupied Logan’s rear.
however.
Sigh.
A strike from the rear, achieved with elegant walking techniques, could not keep up with Logan’s movements as he disappeared like a ghost.
Soon, the golden light emitted from Logan’s sword, which approached Jordan while lying face down, was aimed at Jordan’s crotch.
“dare!!”
Quaaaang!
Logan, who had been running at the blow that exploded with anger, slipped and was pushed back again.
“You have the dignity of a noble…!”
“No, you old bastard!”
Logan closed the distance again, hoping that his nonsense-filled provocation would shake the enemy’s reason even a little.
What welcomed him was a red aura that covered the entire area.
Jordan’s great sword emitted an aura wide enough to cover Logan’s entire body.
Logan’s counterattack was a giant pillar-like golden giant’s sword.
Boom!!
Attacks with scattered power due to targeting a wide range and attacks concentrated in a single line.
Unfortunately for Logan, the result of that crash was his fate.
Both of them staggered back, but while Jordan only retreated a few steps, Logan was pushed back tens of meters.
‘Big!’
Logan catches his breath and tries to soothe his upset stomach.
Jordan’s expression, who suffered less damage, was seen to be even more distorted.
“Huh. You’re really resisting the Aurors. Well, that’s fine. I’ll deal with you seriously from now on. Stop playing around with tricks and attack me with all your heart. I don’t want to die like that.”
Logan slightly raised the corner of his mouth.
I guess my pride was pretty hurt. It’s already difficult if you do that.
“Then, as you commanded…!”
As soon as he spoke, Logan rushed towards Jordan at lightning speed.
He raised his strength and honestly showed everything he had in front of his strongest enemy.
“Wow!!”
Is it because of the interior that was shaken by the previous collision?
A much greater amount of ‘sincerity’ than Logan expected poured into Jordan’s entire body, including the Force.
And it brought out more intense emotion in the other person than expected.
“You dirty bird…!!”
The loudest voice I’ve ever heard of him.
Logan hid behind that passionate ‘sincerity’ and fired a beam of golden light, aiming at the vital area below the thrilled opponent.
Skag.
Quaaaaaaaaa!
‘done!’
Even though he was pushed back by the strong shock, Logan smiled cheerfully at the sensation he felt in his hand.
but.
“I’ll tear you to death! You bastard!”
The fire sword’s patented technique, The Lord of Fire, was activated and Jordan turned into a huge fireball and rushed towards him. The only wound on Jordan’s body was a deep gash on the inside of his thigh.
‘Damn it, it’s a waste!’
Even though the second plan worked, the opportunity to send the enemy off in one hit was missed.
It was so disappointing, but I couldn’t dwell on my regrets in this urgent situation.
– Fire Lord? The Jordan guy just came up with a grandiose name, but the principle is simple. All you have to do is surround yourself with an aura of flame and burn anything that comes near. Because it’s an auror, it’s hotter than most magic.
– But in fact, that’s secondary, and the real purpose is to endure it and crush anyone who approaches it within its own distance. At least within that gap, his auror even controls the air.
– How do I wake up? Just…. Oh, you mean at your level? It’s impossible, but… if I had to force myself to find a way…
‘The only thing I could do was mid-to-long range sniping from outside the gap.’
Remembering his teacher’s words, a golden light gathered at the tip of Logan’s sword.
‘No normal attack.’
I had already surpassed the limit of cutting iron, which only shoots out a single beam of light, once.
The energy pouring out all at once was spread out like a wide net, causing a pouring liberatio to explode in the air.
If you apply the experience back then and hit the stacked energy several times with a single blow…
flash!
Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
A loud hitting sound, as if a large piece of metal had been struck with force, filled the surrounding space and rang out sharply.
At the same time, Jordan’s new model, which was charging head-on, stomped away and took a few steps back.
The place where the flame aura that looked like a huge fireball disappeared.
“You bastard, how dare you take my Flamma…”
A greatsword with a fine crack in the middle of its body was raised in front of Jordan’s face, which was distorted like a demon.
Logan could clearly see mana leaking from the great sword that was sparkling with unusual energy, but it didn’t feel that good.
‘shit!’
Another attempt at conversion failed.
Jordan, who had become a ball of fire, trusted that he would not dodge most attacks and delivered the strongest blow he could, but only the mana of the sword was scattered.
‘Then the only way left is…’
Logan forced his brain to move, feeling empty in the force that was more than 30% empty.
Before he knew it, a brightly burning flaming greatsword was approaching him.
Skag.
“Like a rat…!!”
The moment I fell to the ground, my hair was cut off.
Ugh.
“…Noom!”
He immediately rolled to the side to avoid it, and at the same time, the ground he was standing on was deeply dug out.
Logan let out an exclamation in the most primal way possible, feeling that he had become an infinitely small creature.
“Squeak!”
“…Ha. You damn bastard!”
Okay, successful provocation!
Paaaaaaaa!
He cheered internally and as soon as he could pull his body back, the air in the place where he was standing burst out.
It feels like even the downy skin is rising.
Until now, Jordan’s offensive continued like a shower, as if it had been a real joke.
Logan used all his abilities and means to focus solely on evasion, but ended up receiving several light sword wounds.
‘But why did I try to provoke you?’
A series of horrifying moments that make it difficult to remember the operation he was aiming for in the first place.
It was only after a long time that my mind, which had become as hard as stone due to the extreme tension, finally came up with the final plan.
‘Another goal’ came to mind.
‘Fortunately, it hasn’t gone too far yet. ‘Thanks for coming out, idiot.’
The moment Jordan’s sword came before my eyes again.
‘please!’
Logan felt the fear of death approaching, but instead of Jordan, he fired a beam of light at his target, the second prince, Romain von Grandia, who was watching the fight foolishly from one side.
Fortunately.
Kwaaaaang!
Even as he attacked with all his might with intense anger, the Duke of Jordan turned and blocked Logan’s attack towards the prince.
However, no matter how much an Auror user he was, he could not help but lose his balance and stumble for a moment due to the sudden change of direction.
Not missing the opportunity, a golden snake born from Logan’s sword bit the Duke of Jordan’s arm.
Skag.
“Ugh! This guy…!”
“It’s a shame….”
The sincerity came out without thinking.
The long sword mark on Jordan’s right arm holding the sword may have somewhat reduced his fighting power, but it was by no means a fatal wound.
“You…!”
But That sincerity quickly calmed the Duke of Jordan’s face, which was red with anger.
‘Damn it!’
Logan, who was acutely aware of his mistake, moved irregularly in all directions as if he were truly the shadow of a ghost, shooting out rays of golden light one
after another. It was a fantastic movement that, if the teacher had seen it, would have applauded in admiration for having properly digested the teachings.
All of that. The attack was focused only on the second prince.
However, Jordan, who had already regained his cool, blocked all the attacks with a calm expression.
Moreover, as the force core began to feel burden due to the continued use of the divine sword Vision, Logan eventually gave up on this trick. He had no choice but to do so.
And with an expression as if he had given up on everything, he jumped in front of Duke Jordan.
There was no way Jordan, who was one move away, in fact more than two moves ahead, could not feel Logan’s physical condition right now.
“That was great. To the swordsman who raised you. I give my praise.”
The red greatsword created an intense flash of light in the air.
And then…
Kwasik.
The cracked half of the greatsword floated in the air and a fountain of blood spurted out.
