Episode 204: Logan has been worried ever since he heard Luther Kyle explain the characteristics of superhumans.
The characteristic of a superman that realizes the value desired by the person’s unconscious the moment he or she overcomes human limitations.
And when I saw the possibility of artificially controlling it, my first thought was, of course, this.
‘If I naturally become a superhuman, what characteristics will I have?’
A balanced general awakening like that of his teacher was not even in his mind.
Because I could not give up the possibility of further excellence that Luther spoke of.
Fortunately, he had a hint.
Natural magical time acceleration created by the beloved sword Lux.
I still couldn’t figure out why Lux’s power, which is said to be manifested in accordance with one’s essence, was that way, but if I had to guess, it seemed to mean overwhelming speed.
Perhaps, the martial law about the speed of controlling space that the teacher so emphasized was manifested unconsciously.
If so, there was a high probability that the characteristics that would be revealed upon awakening were also related to speed.
‘Or…’
The desire to turn everything upside down.
There were also destructive dreams that dominated my soul until just before regression.
If the characteristics of a superhuman are the manifestation of a desire accumulated in the soul over a long period of time, it seems that it could be expressed as strength or aggressive characteristics related to it.
‘I feel like in the end it was either strength or speed.’
Still, it wasn’t anything bad.
In particular, the characteristic of speed would be more in line with the principles of martial arts that the teacher emphasized.
However, after coming to the Empire, experiencing Jerome’s absolute vision, feeling the Emperor’s shadow, and experiencing the miracles shown by Tris Hornsby, I could not think so easily.
‘With just the power of the Force Core, I can become the best in my class in terms of basic physical abilities. The reason I can fight an Auror user now is not because of my strength and speed.’
If I became a superhuman, I was confident that I would not be surpassed by anyone, at least in terms of physical ability.
but.
Would Jerome’s absolute vision or physical ability be meaningful in blocking the moves shown by Tris Hornsby?
As soon as that thought occurred to me, my mind was immediately inclined to awakening in a different direction.
From then on, Logan kept thinking about it.
To find the possibility of surpassing everything he has seen.
After much thought, he was finally able to come up with a plausible hypothesis.
‘Whether it’s speed, strength, or superpower, it’s the ability to go beyond what you normally couldn’t do.’
Possibility to go beyond limits.
Wouldn’t it be possible to characterize the possibility itself?
Logan worked hard while staying at the villa to image it.
I designed the characteristics by going back and forth between the critical points of Aurors where awakening is possible and pictured the future when awakened in that way.
Staying on the verge of awakening, my abnormally heightened senses allowed me to imagine a highly realistic virtual future, but no matter how many times I tried, I could not picture any good results.
Although the muscles were torn and the bones were crushed, the situation was at least good.
However, I was not confident that I could handle the result of death due to the head exploding, which appeared frequently.
‘Dangerous. too.’
Is it worth taking this risk?
Is there any reason to take risks?
Even if you just strengthen your basic characteristics, don’t you think you could become a top-level Auror user over time?
Whenever such thoughts occurred to Logan, he thought of the Emperor and the Empire again, and the great move Tris showed him.
‘no! ‘You can’t be complacent.’
The empire he experienced firsthand was much stronger than he thought, and his future was even darker.
If you don’t take risks and only do what you can definitely handle, you have no choice but to perish as expected.
‘Of course you have to take risks.’
With that in mind, I researched and researched methods that had the greatest potential.
After intense research, Logan was able to figure out the direction just before leaving the ecliptic.
Now it was time to put it into practice.
‘Slowly… little by little.’
Ugh.
The power emitted by the first force core of the heart was amplified eightfold as it passed through the second, third, and fourth force cores that orbited, filling the entire body.
And the moment when that full energy began to essentially evolve according to the will that I had become accustomed to.
‘done!’
The ‘fifth’ force core popped out, wrapped around the existing cores, and began to orbit.
Wooooow.
Soon, the vibration that started from the force core of his heart enveloped his entire body, spreading the power of the aura throughout his body, and began to change him from the root.
The entire group’s attention was focused on Logan’s appearance, with auspicious golden light pouring from his entire body.
When Luther Kyle said it was a sign of awakening, everyone cheered and held their breath.
However, as the golden light that brightened the camp under the dark night sky continued until morning, the expressions of the knights who were guarding all around as if guarding Logan began to show signs of impatience.
“Luther. Is it really taking this long?”
“Hmm. I heard that it varies from person to person. They say that in most cases it ends quickly…” When the
expressions of the knights, including Viktor, turned sour at those words, Luther chuckled and continued.
“In my case, it took a very long time. It will change significantly, so just wait and see.”
That laughter helped the knights calm down.
However, Logan’s meditation continued until the newly risen morning sun passed midday and set again, and the knights, exhausted from the anxious wait, slowly began to take turns sleeping.
Then at some point.
Flashing.
Logan opened his eyes with golden light exploding at sunset.
and.
“It ended sooner than expected. Can we go a little further and set up camp?”
He spoke with a smile as if he thought he had closed and opened his eyes for a moment, but the group did not bother to point out the misunderstanding.
“My lord. Really…?”
“Are you really a superhuman…?”
The knights’ attention becomes more focused on Victor and Henderson’s questions.
“Yes. I am also an Auror user now.”
The moment when Logan freely wields the auspicious golden light at his fingertips.
Noisy cheers rang out in the campground for a while.
“But it will be a secret for a while. Even after we return to the territory.”
“Yes! I will keep that in mind!”
No one asked why that was the case.
The elites of McLine who have all faithfully supported us on our long journey.
Logan didn’t bother to add anything and just nodded.
However, there was one person who asked an essential question.
“I don’t feel like I’ve changed anything in particular, but you have general characteristics… No, no, I explained it that way, but that’s probably not true, right?”
Logan looked at the giant Luther Kyle, who looked alone and anxious, and nodded with a grin.
“Of course, Luther. Thanks to you, I have achieved great results. I will definitely repay this favor.”
“Huh. So, it’s done correctly, so why doesn’t it look much different? Did you really hear me correctly? I could just end it all with strengthening my body and compressing my strength…” “I
bet you got better results than that. “I do. Would you like me to show you?”
“What? Okay! Let’s get together right away!”
Luther cheered at those words, but for some reason, Logan, who actually spoke, hesitated slightly.
“What are you doing, not coming quickly?”
“But wasn’t it our whistle even before awakening? If you do it right, you’ll feel really sorry for Master Luther…” “
What, man? Huh… hehe. Hahahaha! Well, that’s fine! Just show it. You are the future of the kingdom. That!”
“Then what do I like?”
“I’ll do anything. Even if it means becoming your subordinate.”
“Oh, there’s nothing else to say?”
“of course!”
Ugh.
Logan smiled at the proud feeling that started from his heart and spread throughout his body.
After becoming an Auror user, his physical abilities increased by about 30%.
‘They say if it was a normal awakening, it would be around 100%.’
But he had enough of this.
A body that was originally capable of dealing with not only the strongest in its class but also Auror users.
Even without considering the energy efficiency of Force and Auror, combat power has already increased significantly.
‘In reality, there is no meaning to winning.’
If it was a matter of life and death, he already had the ability to kill Luther Kyle before.
Logan’s swordsmanship, which specialized in speed, or more accurately, his swordsmanship, was nothing short of superb to Luther Kyle.
It would have been nothing more than a rehash of his fight with Blake from before.
Now that I have awakened, there will be even more difference.
But what we are trying to do now is not simply a game.
Now that I have achieved the possibilities created by the story I heard from him.
I wanted to show him at least once.
And I also wanted to check for myself.
“Come now. I’ll show you exactly what I got.”
“Okay, good!”
As Logan raised his sword, Luthor Kyle swung his favorite weapon, the heavy Warhammer War Lord, without hesitation.
visor!
Sigh!
The attack, which previously should have been completely dodged and then pierced through the gap, was avoided by Logan simply striking the sword at an angle.
Luther, who suddenly lost his balance, threw his body and added force to the direction of rotation, swinging the hammer even louder and more vigorously.
Wow!
Logan’s sword floated in the air, avoiding the attack that devastated the ground with just one step, and drew an elegant line.
Skag.
With a sharp cutting sound, the neck of Luther Kyle’s armor was sharply cut.
Could it be that the only place the golden auror could reach was the armor?
If he was sincere, the giant could clearly feel that this was the end of the confrontation.
“You’ve become incredibly strong, Logan. I guess it’s a speed type…”
“No, up to this point, it’s just a basic ability. It’s not a trait, it’s just a demonstration of my improved physical abilities.”
“what?!”
You’re just too weak.
These are words I cannot bear to say to someone who is no longer my enemy but my benefactor.
Complicated thoughts that he had never thought of until yesterday plagued Logan’s mind.
‘It’s definitely weak. It’s not just a matter of having a big physique and big movements. Luther Kyle is the weakest among superhumans.’
I was well aware of the fact that even among Auror users, the realms were divided.
Most ordinary people, and even knights, have a strong tendency to view superhumans as separate creatures, so they didn’t bother to question them.
But when I went up one level, I could clearly see that level.
Luther Kyle’s level is at a low level, just beyond the level of becoming an Auror user.
It was the same level that Logan has reached now.
Although it is a special case, it is a level that Logan can surpass simply by awakening.
It was hard to believe that I became an Auror user ten years ago.
‘Did we fail to develop or not? If Lord Luther is like this, Wicken Callia must be the same too.’
Once again, the level of auror users in the kingdom felt frustrating.
‘Is Master the only one I can trust?’
Hiding his gloomy heart, Logan raised his sword again.
Even if Luther Kyle’s level is somewhat disappointing, shouldn’t he show what he has gained thanks to this benefactor?
“Now, let me show you the traits I gained thanks to Luther. Relax.”
At those words, Luthor Kyle’s face hardened, and soon a red auror appeared all over his body. It was the Auror
‘s armor that he was proud of and his best fighting stance.
Looking at him like that, Logan calmly noticed the characteristics imprinted in his soul. I thought to myself,
‘The design is perfect.’
Force Core provided the starting point for concretizing the vague concept of overcoming limits and increasing efficiency.
Unlike other Force users, the source of the power one has now is to collect the core of the Force in the heart to increase output and efficiency.
‘Thanks to you.’ It was easy to image it.’
Force Core. It had the characteristic of increasing numbers as the level rose.
‘Go.’
The moment he pulled the trigger engraved on his soul, the 5-star force core in his heart spewed out another core.
At the same time, Logan’s view of the world itself changed.
The force of his entire body soared more than double in an instant, and he was able to handle that force. The sense of power and efficiency were also amplified further.
Logan felt the one loophole he had seen in the Luthor in front of him increase to four or five at once. It was
not just a simple amplification of the force and improvement in efficiency, but a feeling that the soul itself was elevated.
Although temporary, it was a perfect state. It was a rise.
If the rise to the level strengthens the Force Core, the expectation that the reverse process would also be possible was perfectly met.
‘That’s it!’
Energy efficiency alone has quadrupled.
The actual combat performance has also increased incomparably compared to just before.
Luther Kyle’s eyes, feeling Logan’s changed momentum, double in size.
“…Try to block.”
Logan’s sword . The brilliant golden aura that surged into Luther’s red aura like cutting into tofu.
Over the next five minutes,
Luther Kyle was able to forcibly realize the various loopholes that he had not recognized, one by one.
‘Excessively strong physical characteristics. By acquiring it, I was being swayed by that body.’
Logan, who looked down on Luthor from one level above, saw right through the reason for his stagnation and forced him to realize his shortcomings.
It was a kind of reward for telling him the story about the design of his characteristics.
“Thank you.” “You… you’ve really awakened an absurd trait.”
Right after Logan caught a glimpse of Luthor looking at him with complicated eyes.
He flopped down.
Feeling the force that had fallen to the floor, he sat down.
“You can’t be like this?!”
The whole body. Luthor, who was bleeding profusely, looked at his pale complexion and cried out in concern.
But Logan, feeling extremely exhausted, smiled faintly and waved his hand.
“It’s just a temporary symptom. I have to endure these side effects. Anyway, I am even more thankful for the ability I gained thanks to you.”
Those words were sincere.
There was even another reason why I didn’t tell Luther.
‘That’s it. My hunch was right!’
The instantaneous and overwhelming increase in combat power that Luther Kyle admired was only a secondary advantage.
The greatest advantage of this trait, which had been making Logan’s heart pound since its design…. ‘He can
reach a superior level even for just five minutes. ‘Being able to experience it directly.’
In fact, Logan cheered as he felt a little understanding of the 5th formula of the divine sword’s vision, which he had not even been able to grasp immediately after awakening. It is
common sense that development slows down as the level increases. He was
confident that he had developed the best characteristics that could overturn that common sense. Because I heard it.
