Episode 394 No matter how great a mage is, he cannot destroy an army of troops at once.
The performance performed by the Mage of the Dead Wind was also focused on stopping the offensive of the soldiers located in the center on the western wall of Kyle, where the McLane army is currently concentrated.
Moreover, as the range was wide, the power was dispersed and the killing power was significantly lowered.
However, the power of the cold wind, concentrated occasionally in places out of Logan’s reach, was literally crushing a small number of soldiers.
“Please help me…”
The soldier, frozen in white, with only his upper body remaining, stretched out his hand toward his comrade.
The surrounding soldiers who witnessed the terrible scene were all frightened. It was virtually impossible for ordinary soldiers to endure the fear of death that came before their eyes.
Naturally, the offensive toward the bottom of the castle wall also slowed down. The Mage of the Cold Wind single-handedly defeated the McLane army’s offensive.
In the meantime, the imperial army’s line, which had collapsed, returned to its original position.
The wizard performed 120% of his role in the war.
It was truly a feat that could be called a feat.
Above all, no matter how strong Logan was, there was no way to deal with a mage who was projecting magic in the middle of enemy lines.
“shit!”
But fortunately, McLane also had the power to counter him.
Ugh.
A strong flow of magical energy was felt from behind, and for an instant, the Mage of the Cold Wind floating in the air in the distance stumbled. Logan could clearly see his face hardening.
After staggering in the air for a moment, the mage with a distorted expression slowly fell to the ground, and the cold wind blowing against the castle wall stopped.
‘who?’
When I looked back, I saw Victoria and Clayton standing behind the castle wall with their eyes closed. There were broken magic stones scattered underneath.
It was a great achievement, but there was no time to praise them as they were sweating coldly.
Taking advantage of that brief gap, some of the empire’s knights climbed onto the castle wall.
Logan went out of his way to welcome those guys.
“For the Empire… hmm?!”
“Duh… What!?”
“The enemy mass is here… ugh?”
The imperial knights who climbed the castle wall paused for a moment, not befitting their bravery. And before they could even sense their own abnormality, a baptism of golden aura poured down on them.
“Aaaah!”
“Ouch!”
“This is…”
The knights collapse helplessly.
The golden snake swimming in the air turned an area of about 20 meters in all directions into a scene of slaughter.
Among them, there was even a top-class knight wearing the epaulettes of the Ten Thousand Seals.
McLane’s morale rose again at the incredible sight, and he repeatedly fired his crossbow and swung his sword.
“Your Majesty is with you!”
“Sun of McLane!”
“The sun is with us!”
The golden light shines brilliantly as you create your own space in the middle of the castle wall.
That golden light caught the attention of the battlefield.
The morale of the allies rose to the highest level, and despair overtook the enemy.
“Keep shooting!! Attack!”
The soldiers and knights, who came to their senses amid the shouts of their commanders, began to pour out explosive firepower again.
Bababababaak.
Wow!
Boom!
“Aaaah!”
“Avoid blood!”
“Stop it!”
The rapid-fire crossbow and Liberatio’s baptism once again caused enormous damage to the imperial army.
A few knights managed to climb the castle wall, but they stopped for a moment due to the feeling of helplessness that came over them in an instant.
“Ugh?!”
“die!”
And he was thoroughly hacked to pieces by the knights who took advantage of that moment.
– The moment you step on the castle wall, the empire’s movements will slow down. Take advantage of that gap.
Instructions passed down from command.
I didn’t know the inside story, but there was no knight who didn’t familiarize himself with the policy ahead of the war. Thanks to this, the tide of the first match seemed to be tilting towards McLine again.
However, that one-sided projection of firepower did not last long.
– Glory to the Empire!
Wooooow.
The wind began to blow under the castle wall with a loud cry.
The scent of enormous mana, the source of which could not be guessed, was catching the pouring rain of Quarel and the explosion of Liberatio.
‘This?’
Logan’s face couldn’t help but harden again at that déjà vu-like sight.
Although it was on a much smaller scale, I had definitely experienced it before.
A plan implemented by the family’s archenemy a long time ago.
Therefore, it was not that difficult to guess the origin of this abnormal situation.
‘Wind Barrier!’
The sight of numerous wizards weaving a single magic behind the imperial army was clearly visible to his eyes as the enormous mana surged forth.
The elite forces of five of the seven magic towers of Aserian, the empire’s magic corps, were blocking the disaster pouring down on the imperial army.
‘What about our magic corps?’
With that thought in mind, I looked back and saw wizards projecting magic energy from the huge magic circle drawn inside the castle wall.
The leaders of the five great magic towers were sweating profusely at the apex of the pentagram, moving mana, and strangely enough, Clayton’s best disciple, Greek, was coordinating something at the center.
The unexpected sight reminded Logan of what Clayton said before the war began.
– Although we have made a lot of progress, our magic corps is still lacking compared to the empire. So, in the worst case, gather all your strength…
Clayton clearly said that.
but.
‘Why already? Even if it’s fast, it’s too fast.’
But I couldn’t stop them now.
In the end, Logan gave up his expectations of the magic corps and shouted.
“The vigilantes fall back! Knights and soldiers must actively resist!”
It was too fast, but it was expected that the imperial army would come up with a countermeasure anyway.
There was only one thing to do.
‘I’ll stop it somehow.’
Logan screamed at the top of his lungs and charged towards the imperial knights who had begun to climb the castle wall again.
And then an old man with white hair stood in front of him.
“It’s been a while.”
The burning red aura emanating from the old man swallowed up the incoming golden light.
‘It’s better.’
The moment Logan saw the old man, he thought it was an opportunity.
A golden sword stretched out as if charging.
Skag.
The golden snake that was freely swimming in the red space created by the sword spirit engraved a long sword image on the sword spirit’s right thigh.
Push.
“!?”
The sword spirit’s face is distorted with gushing blood.
‘You won’t understand.’
But Logan had no intention of letting him understand the situation.
thud.
The rough advance left a clear mark on a corner of the castle wall. The golden sword strike, fully loaded with its power, tore through the red space.
Divine Sword Vision Type 7 Space Splitting.
The most powerful vision that can be unleashed right away, except for soul splitting, which still requires some preparation time.
The golden light soared high into the sky, cutting through everything that existed and cutting the sword spirit’s body into pieces.
No, it seemed that way.
Ugh.
The only thing that was cut off was the afterimage of the sword spirit and the castle wall where he was.
And the gaze of the sword spirit that appeared a long way away was not directed at Logan, but toward another part of the castle wall.
“Ahh!”
“This!”
“My body is dull…!”
Contrary to the momentum they had when climbing the castle wall, the subordinate knights were very easily attacked.
Tris’s gaze turned to Logan, who was rushing towards him with a deadly spirit.
“Great magic formation! How dare you pull a trick like this!!”
Since when did magic become a trick in continental wars?
But Tris had no choice but to sell it like that.
Because they could not readily admit that the relics of the Tsushima era, which even the empire could only maintain, were being actively used by a small country.
In addition, countless evidences showing that the green brat who was pushing him had already reached the same level as him were putting pressure on Geomsoun mentally.
In the end, he had to put down his last pride.
“Nelly!!!”
With that shout, Logan’s body, which was rushing toward the sword spirit, began to slip and freeze to a pure white color.
“bout!!”
Crack.
Freezing magic dispelled with golden aura.
But in the meantime, the sword of the Sword Spirit was approaching Logan’s eyes.
A strange phenomenon where the surrounding space appears to be shaking with a purple aura.
It was proof that the power of space was imbued with even a single strike that focused only on speed without mobilizing much force. ‘It’s definitely
better
than me in this state…’
Logan felt that fact.
If you use the trait ‘Up’, there’s nothing you can’t beat, but if you use the trait and become exhausted, you might have an opportunity to show an opening to Nellie, who is in a coordinated attack, or to Jerome, who is watching from somewhere.
However, even if he was lacking in one number, he had other ways to fill the gap.
First of all, the reason why I can continue thinking like this even in a situation like now where the knife is approaching in front of my eyes.
Ugh.
Lux, a luxury sword with the soul of a Dwarf master craftsman, absorbed all the golden aura, announcing that it had reached the limit of time acceleration. Perhaps because the surrounding space was dominated by red aura, the time was much shorter than usual.
but.
‘That’s enough.’
Logan’s red eyes, whose concentration was pushed to its limit, clearly grasped the power of space contained in the Sword of Soul.
And the moment when time acceleration ends.
thud.
As soon as he rolled his feet, the boots of the wind god maximized his agility, and the moment he extended his sword, the gauntlets of great strength increased his strength. And Suho’s shoulder pads further relieved the burden on his body as he forced himself to accelerate in slow time.
An artifact that deviates from the existing artifacts that amplify the power of Auror users who are already called superhumans.
The treasures of the Geomshin lineage gave him great power.
In an instant, the sword containing the power of space struck the incoming sword of the soul.
A conflict between power and authority. What remained after that was ultimately a battle of strength against strength.
Wow!
Rumbling.
The intense explosion and vibrations that shook the castle walls captured the attention of those around them even in the midst of the madness of the battlefield.
The sight that emerged after the aftermath of the collision subsided was shocking.
“Phew!”
The person who was thrown out of the castle wall while vomiting blood was Tris Hornsby, the greatest sword of the Empire.
“…!?”
“dismissal!!”
“What’s going on…”
Imperial Army.
“your majesty!?”
“uh!?”
“What the hell is this…”
Even McLane couldn’t properly understand the situation.
For a moment, the movement around him slowed down a bit, and in the middle of the slow battlefield, only one person rushed towards the bounced sword spirit as if shooting.
‘Finish!’
Taking advantage of the weakening magic circle weakening some of the Sword Soul’s power, he targeted the thighs and reduced his mobility. Even though I attacked with all the artifacts I had in that situation, I couldn’t finish it off.
He had an intuition that a golden opportunity like this would not come next time, so he took the gamble of jumping into the enemy camp outside the castle.
Meanwhile, beneath the castle walls, the knights of the empire were throwing themselves without hesitation to protect the kneeling sword spirits.
“Stop it!”
“Protect Your Excellency!”
“Stop it with your life!”
Even though the enemy’s leader appeared in front of them, no one thought to aim for its head.
To that extent, the sight of the enemy driving away from Sword Soul’s defeat was unfamiliar to the imperial army.
“Everyone get out!”
Sigh.
Ugh.
Logan, feeling impatient, swung Lux roughly.
The golden light extending from his sword transformed into a huge giant’s sword and swept over 30 meters in all directions.
“Aaaahhh!”
The enemy’s screams erupted like a chorus, but Logan could not help but frown.
As the force was draining away from the vision of the divine sword cast in succession, a sword spirit with his lips and forelock stained bright red with the blood he had vomited was seen raising his sword.
“I feel a little lighter now.”
A red aura like a flame burned at the tip of the enemy’s sword, which had turned pure white.
At the same time, the wrinkles on the sword spirit’s face increased in real time.
The moment when Logan’s steps falter due to an unusual premonition.
“At that age, he was the best… Hehe, Your Majesty’s biggest enemy was not in the Holy Kingdom, but right here. I was arrogant. I apologize. So now…” An eerie
red color with a completely different feel than Logan’s. Light flashed in the sword spirit’s eyes.
“Let’s die together!”
Before the words “Let’s die” were even finished, the sword spirit’s body disappeared from the spot.
