Episode 338
“Enemy…!”
Skag.
The knight who tried to attack while taking advantage of his comrade’s fall was split in two.
It was the brilliantly shining ‘silver’ Auror Blade that created that terrible scene. Everyone watching was mesmerized by the contrast between the beautiful, auspicious light and the horrendous bloody sight.
Then soon.
“Ugh!”
“I killed four people!”
“It’s the enemy!”
The workers who were watching screamed and scattered in all directions.
And the person who created the trouble swung his sword with a cool expression at the knights who were so embarrassed that they could neither run away nor attack them.
Skag.
“Oops.”
“Aaaah!”
“Damn the rain!”
It was the same for a knight who momentarily froze upon seeing an auror who was no different from a symbol of superhumanity, and a knight who had managed to muster up courage and rushed forward while gritting his teeth lost his life in an instant.
Perhaps thanks to those who screamed loudly, dozens of knights were seen running out from inside the tunnel.
But unfortunately, they were all just average knights.
They didn’t even form a line to deal with the strong, but just came rushing out, so they all came to a halt the moment they encountered the bloody scene.
Seeing their trembling eyes at the unexpected situation, the silver reaper ran forward without hesitation.
A surprisingly calm face, unlike the panicked enemies.
‘The messenger came and went yesterday, so he won’t be coming for a while.’
thud.
Flashing.
With a strong advance, the silver auror blade swung horizontally.
The sword, which extended nearly 3 meters long, curved smoothly and instantly cut the waists of the five knights within range.
Ugh.
“Aaaah!”
“He’s a superhuman!”
“Auror user!”
The knights who were scattered in a disorderly manner only then realized the situation and began to form their formation with stern faces. As befits a brave imperial knight, he chose to resist even after seeing the enemy’s overwhelming force.
And that judgment was right. In a terrain where siege is possible in the middle of a ruins excavation site located on a high ridge, no matter how superhuman you are, you will eventually be outnumbered.
but.
‘It’s already too late.’
The senior or intermediate knights who could effectively command the rank knights were already killed in the first surprise attack.
I know there are multiple more knights in the tunnel, but they are all that are in front of me right now.
For the knights who had no clear superior, it took time just to form a formation and coordinate it.
It wasn’t a very long time, but for Logan, it was more than enough time to annihilate them all.
Ssuk.
A reaper wearing black leather armor burrowed exquisitely like a ghost among the knights who were clumsily forming their formation.
And soon.
Ugh.
As if a silver-colored disc had been thrown, an auspicious light spread out in a large circle among the knights.
“Ugh!”
A loud scream followed immediately.
“Stop it!”
“I have to kill you!”
The knights shouted with red-faced faces and tried hard to suppress their fear, but that did not make up for the difference in skill.
The swords coming from all directions were dodged by just taking one step, like a ghost, and the swung sword cut off the arms, legs, or necks of the imperial knights with ease.
“Kwaaah!”
“Monster!”
Even if the swords thrown by the frightened knights in a desperate attempt to reach the body of the Shinigami.
Tongue.
The leather armor covered by the silver aura deflected the attack without leaving a single scratch.
“Auror Barrier….”
A technique that can only be performed by intermediate or higher level Auror users.
The knights, who knew full well what that meant, dropped their swords with devastated eyes.
“Okay, it’s only for a moment!”
“If we push you and make you tired, we will win!”
The knights, who had been burning their fighting spirit with low expectations, were falling in vain from the continued sword attacks that put their fighting spirit to nothing.
Almost fifty knights collapsed in an instant.
And it was only then that elite knights began to emerge from within the mine shaft.
“What a guy!”
As Yashel Frigman shouted, a red force blade shot out from his axe.
It is not simply a shape of an elongated blade, but rather an enlarged shape of an axe. The red Force
‘Hoo. ‘A change in the shape of the force and compression at the same time?’
Among the highest-ranking knights, the appearance that only those who reached the highest level could show clearly showed how he achieved the position of general in the Eastern 1st Corps.
However, Logan’s gaze was directed not to Yashel, who was shouting, but to the wizard standing behind him and the knights.
‘her?’
Gray magical power flowing softly.
I couldn’t see it clearly when I saw it from afar at night, but it was a mage. Also of the Kassel Magic Tower.
‘Descendants of the sorcerer saint Zibrik Kassel.’
A group whose origins can now be fully guessed.
If you think about it, it wasn’t surprising that they knew this location.
However, there were doubts.
The reason he didn’t notice its identity from afar wasn’t because the mage was hiding something.
just.
‘Weak. The magical power was not properly refined. At best, I’m at the level of a 6th circle beginner who has just become a superhuman.’
It was questionable how he was going to lift the barrier at that level, but he couldn’t ask that now, so Logan just stared at Yashel with a stern expression.
“Are you saying it’s not even worth talking about?”
As Yashel, with a stiff expression on his face, took a cautious step forward, the knights behind him moved in unison and immediately organized their battle line.
Knights holding shields or heavy weapons formed one or two lines, and knights holding swords or spears were positioned behind them so that they could shoot out in all directions at any time. The intention was to occupy the sides or rear the moment Logan cut down the leading knights.
And Yashel, who was showing off his flashing Force X at the forefront, opened his mouth again.
“No matter how superhuman you are, if you interfere with the empire’s events, you must pay for your sin with your life.”
There was no fear whatsoever on his confident face.
In reality, the siege would be complete after he had received just a few sums. Among the knights of the Empire, the elites of the Legion were famous for not being afraid of death, so even if many were sacrificed, they would never back down.
So, it was not unreasonable to be confident that that number alone could kill a superhuman.
‘If you’re a normal Auror user or a low-level superhuman.’
No, maybe even at intermediate levels, it could be possible if you are willing to sacrifice the majority.
But unfortunately for them, it was an impossible story to tell against Logan. Even if he had been forced to lower his rank to become an Auror, he wouldn’t have been defeated by that number.
So the only thing that bothers me is that mage standing in the back.
Of course, Logan wasn’t the only one thinking that.
“Wizard!”
“Don’t worry, knight.”
The moment Yashel’s shout came out harshly, Logan also disappeared from the spot with a ghost-like movement.
“Huh!”
Then, with Yashel’s surprised voice in the background, he suddenly appeared in front of the mage.
Flashing.
The silver sword cut through the target at such an incredible speed that even Yashel could not see it.
however.
Wow.
What the sword strike separated was a transparent barrier that suddenly surrounded the mage.
“under?”
Clink!
A sharp sound, as if something was breaking, rang out from within the mage’s arms, and soon the transparent barrier began to disappear little by little.
“Tch.”
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
At the same time, the silver sword struck the disappearing barrier as if chopping it, but the speed of disappearance was a little faster and the barrier did not collapse easily.
And take advantage of that gap.
“go away!”
The wizard’s magic exploded right in front of Logan’s eyes, as if he was quite surprised.
Wow!
A shock wave explodes with a loud noise.
Thanks to the shock wave, the remnants of the barrier completely disappeared, but Logan was forced to be pushed back tens of meters in return.
‘shit.’
So close.
If he had used his original skills, he would have cut through the barrier with a single sword and cut the mage into pieces, regardless of the artifact in the mage’s arms.
But I couldn’t just feel regretful. Before I could regain my proper posture, a violent force came from behind.
“Get lost!”
A huge red ax that seems to cover Logan’s entire body.
A small, faint silver light flashed through that powerful force.
Kwaaaang!
And the result was completely opposite to the apparent power.
“Yuck!”
Yashel vomits blood and stumbles back.
And just by taking a few steps back, Logan was able to relieve the shock and stand upright.
The difference between Auror users and Force users was this large.
But still, in Logan’s eyes, Lee Chae was young.
‘quite.’
I was planning on smashing the ax and cutting off his head at once.
However, I could feel a flow of resistance to the Auror’s power of destruction in its force.
If he had just awakened his auror, he felt strong, as if he could have held on for over ten years without collapsing.
Unless he has acquired a special vision.
‘Are you saying there is a way that all high-ranking forces in the empire can learn?’
This was also something worth keeping in mind, so Logan thought he would do a detailed investigation when he returned from work.
Of course, even while he was leisurely gathering his thoughts, his body was already approaching Yashel.
Silver light flashes again.
It was a blow intended to surely finish off the seriously injured enemy, but the blow was blocked once again.
“Captain!”
“You can’t do that!”
Knights rushing from left and right like moths to fire.
Their swords and bodies took the place of Logan’s sword strike, which was about to cut Yasel in two.
Ugh.
Between the collapsing corpses of the knights, I could see the face of Yashel, whose eyes were twice as big.
“no!!”
Yashel’s eyes turned red as he let out a scream-like yell.
“Kill it!”
With Yashel charging furiously as if he wasn’t even hurt, the knights surrounding Logan were rushing towards him.
“die!”
The strike, which struck diagonally like lightning, was even more powerful than the first.
A lower body that does not waver even with serious internal injuries, and a weapon that does not waver even with an angry expression.
Both of them clearly showed how their owners trained on a daily basis.
But unfortunately, the difference in level was clear.
‘There are a lot of loopholes.’
There are three or four loopholes that Logan can see right now.
But he could hardly exploit those loopholes.
It wasn’t much better than a frontal attack, but the spear aimed at the back and the sword aimed at the side. Also, I couldn’t ignore all the swords coming from the other side.
I had to deal with all the knights here anyway, so there was no need to waste my energy by setting up an auror barrier.
I felt sorry again.
‘I wish I could at least use a whip blade.’
But I couldn’t help it.
Unless you were planning to kill all the witnesses, you had to refrain from doing anything that would reveal your identity as much as possible.
bang!
The body struck the side of the ax, changed the direction of the fall, and spun around. A silver line was drawn again following that lightning-like movement.
Kaga River!
“Oops!”
“Bwak!”
Enemies splitting apart with a flurry of death.
Another knight was seen rushing towards the back where one knight, who managed to survive losing only one arm, was lying down, coughing up blood.
And in front of him, the bloody ax swung with his teeth clenched again aimed at his side.
In that situation.
“Just die!!”
A sharp shout rang out from afar and a gray fog surrounded Logan’s head.
‘This would have killed even a superhuman?’
Unless it’s me.
The moment when silver light flashes again with a cold smile.
Skag.
“Ahh!”
Another large wound appeared on Yashel’s body, and the knights who rushed at him lost their lives helplessly.
