Episode 301
“Are you sane?”
“I know.”
“If you are the Archduke
of Saxony…” Murmurs began to spread here and there on the battlefield.
It wasn’t that strange for an Auror user to challenge him to a duel.
However, if an Auror user, who can be said to be a master of the power of life, has clear wrinkles on his face, it means that he has already passed his prime and the Force has begun to dissipate.
There were even rumors that the Archduke of Saxony might die within a few years. However, he requested a duel from the gods of each country who had already proven their skills by dealing with magicians from each country.
People who knew his condition could not help but say that it was senility or suicide.
“Guil, show us your skills! This is your chance to take down Kisen!”
The command staff, including Karil, screamed in excitement.
“good night.”
Logan tilted his head but slowly stepped forward.
‘Contrary to the rumors, he may be confident in his abilities or have other intentions.’
If something is suspicious, it would be right to just keep an eye on it, but then dealing with that suspicious person becomes your companion.
If you ignore it and push it to the military, the influence it created in the form of Gail will be weakened.
However, Teronan’s command seemed to have urged their hero as well, as Armored, looking angry at Eilen, was seen riding a horse across from him.
The couple’s eyes met from afar and a smile spread across their lips, and then, without even thinking about who would go first, they slowly drove their horses and approached the old knight standing alone in front of the fortress.
The sharp-faced old knight greeted them cheerfully.
“Two union deities appear at the same time, so who will fight me first? If it’s difficult to decide on the order, you can attack them at the same time.”
Not to overshadow his confident voice, Saxony Trumbull’s spirit seen up close was quite powerful. His wrinkled face clearly showed that he was at the end of his life, but his outward appearance was completely different.
The red aura burning like a flame is visible to the eye.
When Logan and Eilen saw this, a look of sadness as well as admiration appeared in their eyes.
‘Are you burning life?’
It literally looked like dry firewood had been lit on fire. I felt a strong desire to protect my country even at the cost of my life.
but.
“I respect that determination. However, there are circumstances where we cannot back down.”
“Shall I do it, Guile?”
“…Did you two know each other?”
Without answering the old knight’s puzzled question, Logan took a step forward.
“No, I will do it. Out of respect for the veteran’s fighting spirit…”
As Eilen nodded and stepped back, Saxony’s eyebrows twitched.
“…Young people are overly confident.”
A position to burn the last flame of life.
Since he has to protect his country, it would be better to end them both here and now.
“I will decide the opponent.”
The red aura soared high into the sky from the old knight’s raised spear.
The huge Spear Aura, which soared over 30 meters, gave off a force that overwhelmed the audience.
“I will protect my country at all costs!”
The moment when Logan’s complexion hardened at the words filled with desperate determination.
“Take it!”
Kwakwakwakwakwa.
The rising Spear Aura exploded, sending countless fragments of light pouring out ahead.
Logan retreated out of range in an instant.
And Eilen moves like the wind, bouncing off fragments one by one at a half-beat delay.
The old knight’s first attack ended without any results.
But that was just the beginning.
“bout!”
Saxony, who had a burning flame-like aura burning all over his body, was brandishing a spear in front of Eilen.
The movement of shortening a space of about 30 meters in an instant was reminiscent of sword fighting from a few years ago. I couldn’t help but be amazed.
‘Was there such an expert in the Union?’
But to put it another way, it’s still the same as swordsmanship from ‘a few years ago’.
That impressive attack couldn’t break through Eilen’s defense ‘now’.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
“under?”
Armored fluttering away like a feather. And the taste of hands without feeling.
The moment when Saxony paused due to a strange feeling he had never experienced before.
A silver auror silently burrowed in next to him.
Whoa!
“Where!”
bang!
Ugh.
After the silver and red lights crossed several times, the two people’s bodies slid to opposite sides.
Logan, who was hit in the side by a spear, frowns in pain.
Saxony, who had been struck in the face by an unexpected kick, looked at Logan with an expressionless face, as if he did not feel any pain.
Soon, he lowered his posture with a long sigh and aimed the spear with flaming red aura at Logan.
“I was the one who was conceited. Both of you have skills beyond common sense. You actually look young.”
When a superhuman reaches the end of his or her life, does he or she gain insight?
Saxony’s strange eyes seemed to see through Logan and Eilen’s disguises.
Logan smiled bitterly at that, and at that moment, Saxony, who had disappeared as if the space had been shortened, suddenly appeared before his eyes.
“get on!”
The spear strikes raining down on Logan’s body like lightning, creating countless afterimages and hitting Logan’s whole body.
Ka-ga-ga-ga-gang!
That’s it.
Ugh.
The surrounding air trembled, and the shock wave spread before the sound, turning over the ground in all directions, raising thick dust.
And within that blurred vision.
“It’s over!”
In an extremely short moment, the Saxony’s spear, which had won after dozens of collisions, created an afterimage that seemed to pierce Logan’s head.
but.
Ssuk.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
The ‘golden’ aura that rose from Logan’s sword, which he dodged to the side, curved like a whip and penetrated Saxony’s gap.
“Oops!”
Off.
Saxony’s staggering body.
The aura that had been blooming like a flame also wavered, but for a moment, Saxony’s aura burned even more intensely again.
It looked as if all his life force had been squeezed out, but it did not threaten Logan. He could only admire Saxony’s determination as he watched his face grow older in real time.
‘Skills that stand at the upper level. Definitely no less than my past teachers.’
However, Logan, who showed his true skills, was always the best knight in his class.
‘Finish it as quickly as possible.’
In this gap where the view in all directions is blocked.
However, Saxony also saw an opportunity.
“Taap!”
With a loud cheering sound, red auras spraying brilliant light rushed to the front of Logan, creating the illusion of a huge window.
And that moment.
“bout!”
With a short burst of energy, the golden brilliance that started from Logan’s sword struck Saxony without a sound, completely erasing the incoming giant’s spear.
Ugh.
The red aura that seemed to burn until the end of its life lost its momentum the moment it collided with the golden light.
It was the power of the divine sword’s arcane life-splitting (生靈斬 Life-Splitting) that shattered the power of life itself, the source of aura.
dump.
“How can this be… You were hiding such skills?”
Saxony is out of breath and looking at Logan with dying eyes.
The face, which looked noticeably older than when the duel began, showed that the old superman had truly burned everything in himself.
Eilen, who was watching the duel from a distance, also had a sad look in his eyes.
And that scene was exposed to everyone on the battlefield the moment the thick dust settled.
“no!!!”
“Your Excellency the Grand Duke!”
A scream-like shout came from the walls of the fortress.
on the other side.
– Wow!
Allied forces watched from afar. In particular, cheers erupted from the Liberty Army camp.
The Archduke of Saxony falls in front of Guile, who is aiming his sword.
Because it was clear to everyone who would win or lose.
“I salute your fighting spirit.”
Logan says that and puts away his sword.
“I can’t end it like this.”
Saxony stood up unsteadily in a way that made the viewer feel sorry for him.
Even so, there is nothing he can do in that state.
Logan and Eilen simply watched out of respect for the veteran who did his best.
However, the moment he took out the small dagger from his pocket, Logan’s expression changed completely.
A pitch-black dagger of unknown material. The image of a black snake embossed on the handle was clearly reflected in his eyes.
“that…!?”
Logan rushes towards Saxony, which is about to collapse.
However, Saxony must have had the last of his strength left, and with lightning-like movements, he plunged the dagger into his heart.
At the same time, an ominous gray magic power exploded from his entire body, knocking away the charging Logan in one go.
“Huh!?”
Wooooow.
Grumble!
A voice like scraping metal came out of Saxony’s mouth as it burned in gray flames.
“I give my life… to #&@$.”
Grumbling.
Gray flames burning more intensely.
Gritting his teeth, Logan cut through the flames and raised his sword high.
‘Oops. ‘Oh my…’
Then, the moment I became aware of the gaze pouring down on the battlefield and hesitated.
– Long live Tria!
A voice like a shout from Saxony burst out from the collapsed flames, leaving only ashes.
At the same time, gray flames rose up in many directions and scattered throughout the fortress.
When Logan clearly sees the ominous flow of magic power.
“Let us support His Excellency the Archduke!”
“Long live Tria!”
“Defeat the invaders!”
The soldiers of the fortress suddenly began jumping down the walls.
Quang.
Udangtang.
Ugh.
Since ordinary soldiers, not knights, jumped from a height of about 20 meters, the result was obvious. Even the sound was unusual, so most of them would have died instantly.
However, the soldiers who were supposed to be blood clots suddenly began to hesitate and stand up.
“For. The ball. Each. For. The.”
“T. Lee. Ah. Long. Three.”
Wood clatter.
The broken limbs of the soldiers, whose eyes were red even to the whites of their eyes and dark red veins bulging all over their faces, were healed in an instant.
– saliva. About. ruler. cast. water. lee. Hit it. la!
Soon, soldiers rushed towards the front like lightning, letting out horrifying voices. It was as fast as most force users.
In fact, about 10,000 soldiers turned into monsters and charged.
Screams of astonishment erupted from all over the battlefield watching the scene.
“What is that!?”
“It’s the devil’s trick!”
“The Trians sold their souls to the devil!”
A moment of confusion in the formation of the Allied forces, which boasted high morale.
“Damn it!”
Logan, who cut down the soldiers rushing towards him without hesitation, stepped on the soldiers’ heads and soared like the wind over the walls of the fortress.
Then, without hesitation, he thrust his sword toward the place where the gray magic power he saw with his own eyes had permeated.
Kwasik.
Logan felt something break when he touched the tip of his sword, and he tore down part of the castle wall and pulled out a bead the size of a human head that had been broken in the middle.
“Ale… big. Armored! Break down the right side of the fortress wall!”
Hearing that voice, Eilen stepped on the soldiers’ heads and leapt into the air.
‘There are six places where magic seeped in.’
Looking at the location, I could see the most basic form of a magic circle that even non-magical people had heard of at least once.
“Six-pointed star! It’s a magic circle! Look at the location where I destroyed it!”
Logan rushed to find the spot where the gray magic seeped into the wide walls of the fortress and destroyed a corner of it one after another.
Eilen also followed his movement and destroyed a corner on the other side.
Just like that . Every time the jewel was shattered, Tria’s army, which was rushing towards the Allied Forces with its eyes rolled back, began to gradually slow down.
Kwajik.
Then, the moment the last bead was destroyed.
“Ugh!?”
“Oh, it hurts. Why am I here…?”
“Ahh!”
I thought I could hear screams coming from all over, and Tria’s soldiers fell down one by one, clutching their heads.
For a moment, there was silence in the Allied camp, which was frozen and forming a defensive formation.
“The entire army . Corsair! Decorate Tria’s finale! Capture the fallen.”
Logan, who staggered slightly and emitting a silver aura, let out a shout announcing the end of the war.
“Wow!”
It was a fight where it was impossible to even understand what was going on, but the Allied Forces, with great momentum, were Tria’s army. They began to advance towards.
The war ended too easily.
But the faces of the two superhumans who ended the war were filled with exhaustion.
“What kind of tactic is this? “How in the world can there be people like that…”
At Eilen’s words, Logan shook his head with a complicated expression.
A magic circle that seeks to achieve something by sacrificing a human or even a superhuman. A nightmare from his past life suddenly came to mind, but he still felt that way. The identity was bound to remain unknown.
But one thing was certain:
‘If I hadn’t been able to see the magical power, I would have been in big trouble.’
The power of the alliance, which had been preserved by entering the war in disguise at best, was almost destroyed.
This was the end of the war that once again raised awareness of the group that used the black snake symbol.
