Episode 420 ‘Can I do it?’
Harmon asked himself to himself.
The answer came so quickly that it was refreshing. A sword strike so powerful that it could bend the light of destruction was something he couldn’t even fathom with his own head.
‘I told you to kill someone like that…’
Did God really think about his own safety at all?
That wouldn’t be possible.
Isn’t this the monster that tried to devour his soul in the first place?
A bitter smile came out.
“Smile!?”
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa.
As if he had accepted that laughter, the opponent he was pushing, the Mage of the Cold Wind, showed his anger and blew out blue and white winds again.
Did you say it was an army of cold winds?
The magic that had made a name for itself in the world now seemed insignificant.
Skag.
Kwakwakwakwa.
Magic scatters left and right with a single light cut.
For him who realized the power of the soul, it was very easy to cut off the flow of magical power.
It’s not like an army of cold winds, but just a low-level wind magic.
“How on earth!!!?”
A sight that shatters your pride.
Galen’s face was cruelly distorted at the tragic sight of his magic being destroyed once again.
But still.
‘It’s difficult.’
Harmon could not finish off his enemy at once.
Skag.
Ugh.
The swung sword stretched out and cut through the air again in vain. The enemy fled faster than the speed at which he moved.
The strange sight of a mage moving faster than an auror user had already been going on for several episodes. No matter how much it was disguised, the essence of it was the divine sword Harmon Killerbrew. It was a story that made no sense, no matter how famous the opponent was, the mage of the cold wind.
However, the person concerned clearly knew the reason.
‘Damn this monster.’
Ugh.
Richentia, a holy object, is now clinging to Harman’s neck and has no intention of falling off. Within him, 60% of his power was tied up in suppressing the power of God, which was struggling to somehow take control of his soul.
Moreover, because of the shocking experience of almost having his soul eaten by the god he revered, he had hesitations about using his ‘Holy Aura’, which was his greatest power.
As it was, Harmon was unable to produce even 20% of his original strength. The best he could do right now was to simply compensate for his lack of ability with heightened awareness and put pressure on the Mage of the Cold Wind.
If it’s a good thing…
Quaaaaaaang!
“die!”
The female knight, or rather the queen, who is running wild right next to her, is overwhelming the other three mages.
The moment the unknown young Auror user who was originally dealing with them was seriously injured and defeated, she intervened like a savior, showing truly overwhelming power.
The combination of the cold and seismic waterfall magic that the pale-complexioned mages kept spewing out was dissipated the moment it touched the Auror shield that fluttered like flames around her, and it seemed like it was only a matter of time before the queen defeated those three mages.
‘So, cheer up, King Logan. There is a lot I want to say.’
Harmon’s gaze, cheering on the man who had been his target for extermination until a day ago, was directed to the space behind him, which was entirely covered in blue.
As if in response to that gaze, golden rays began to emerge one by one from the blue space.
* * * Shinsword Vision’s Type 9 Light Cut, which slightly twisted the light of destruction, could no longer be used. The consumption of the power of desire and the energy that has already reached the bottom are problems, but souls that have not been upgraded to Up have only just crossed the master’s wall.
The power to twist causality is an advanced power that is difficult to handle even for the legendary Aura Master.
But even so, he was an Auror Master.
‘you can do it.’
Depending on his level, he is an Aura Master who is said to be able to go beyond a 7th Circle mage and be comparable to an ancient Grand Mage, that is, an 8th Circle mage.
In addition, Logan’s soul, which was able to wield a level of power that surpassed even that level for a moment through the power of desire, did not stop at just barely crossing the wall.
Because of this, the emperor did not properly understand his skills, and because of that, he was able to remain calm even in front of the emperor.
‘My level is a little higher, but it is higher.’
Of course, compared to Logan, who is completely exhausted, the Emperor’s condition is perfect.
So I had to catch my guard down.
And now the emperor was so admirably letting down his guard.
‘To put it nicely, it’s an absolute area…’
In fact, he just projected his magic onto the surroundings and colored the space itself.
Of course, it would be much easier to manifest and project magic within it, but it would have been a waste of strength that he would never have been able to do if he knew that the opponent in front of him was on the same level as himself.
Thanks to this, Logan easily opened the gap with relatively little force.
Damn it.
Golden cracks began to appear in the absolute realm, which was entirely stained with blue magic.
Even that was staged to look like the struggle of a golden auror trapped in blue magic.
“dare!”
The moment the angry emperor’s voice was heard, Logan’s sword moved without a sound.
‘It ends in one move.’
Flashing.
The lightning that shot out from between the golden cracks struck a space of about 30 meters and completely cut the emperor to pieces.
“Huff!?”
Even to that unexpected attack, the emperor reacted instinctively. With his even more intense blue magic, he occupied the space where the slash extended and at the same time flew out of the attack range.
However, the slash with the power to split space and soul did not just pierce the emperor’s counterattack, it swept away his moving body.
“Ahh!”
With a terrible scream, the blue space shattered like glass.
‘Holy shit.’
Cold sweat flowed like rain. Although it was a blow that was unleashed with the power of the soul in a state of exhaustion, it did not completely finish off the enemy.
however.
“My arm! My arm…!!”
The sight of the emperor holding his left shoulder with his right hand and screaming as if he was struggling was not normal.
Not surprisingly, the emperor’s arm was no longer attached to his left shoulder. Moreover, since it was a blow containing the power of Soul Charm, those wounds would not be able to be repaired with any divine power.
Of course, since he was a healthy emperor with 70% of his magical power, he was at a disadvantage right away.
“You guy! You’ve been hiding your skills! How dare you!!”
The emperor with a distorted face rolled his black eyes and let out an angry voice.
‘How dare you?’
Well, it would be more comfortable to think that way rather than to say that my level rose during the battle.
Anyway, if the enemy loses his mind, it’s a good thing for us.
‘I’ll try until the end.’
Logan gritted his teeth and strengthened his resolve.
Ugh.
I tried to somehow replenish the depleted force by revolving the force cores, which were now nine in total, as fast as possible.
I didn’t even take a step so as not to notice my shaking legs.
To avoid being caught with my trembling hands, I held the sword until my knuckles turned white.
In the first place, I didn’t expect everything to turn out easily.
however.
“…Auror Master. Hehehe, how can you at that age… Do you really have ‘lore’?”
The emperor’s eyes, which had been shining with madness, seemed to return to their original position, and his voice became calm and spewed out nonsense.
“transmission?”
The Emperor, who was staring at Logan, who was frowning at the incomprehensible words, slowly nodded.
“…That’s really not true. That can’t be possible. But how could it be at that age… hahaha…”
Logan gave strength to the leg that was about to give out, letting out a hollow laugh that broke into his ears. No matter what the enemy’s illusions were, what he needed now was time.
Wooooow.
As the eight force cores orbiting around the first core began to vibrate and recover the depleted force, strength gradually returned to the limbs.
But that opportunity was too short.
“At that time, I should have done whatever it took to make you my person. I had to do whatever it took…”
With the voice flowing like a monologue, the emperor’s face, which had even had veins sticking out, gradually regained its composure.
There was no longer any anger in his eyes as he glanced at his severed shoulder, and his expression as he looked at Logan was also calmer than before.
A side of the emperor that had greatly shocked him a few years ago was now visible again.
“…I will correct that mistake today.”
“Don’t you think it’s already too late?”
Logan tried to provoke the Emperor once again, but it no longer worked.
“It’s always too early when you think it’s too late.”
Even before the last syllable ‘Ji’ was finished, a blue thunderbolt flashed from the emperor’s body.
Boom!
“Oops!”
With the hand gesture of the emperor who suddenly appeared behind him, Logan’s body shot forward.
‘Off!’
The impact was so strong that it felt like my spine had been shattered. In fact, if it had not been for the instinctive defense of the whip blade, the victory or defeat would have been decided that way.
Even though he is a great mage, his speed is so fast that it is hard to understand.
But it seemed too early to be surprised.
thud.
The moment the Emperor took a big step forward, a huge earthen spear rose right in front of Logan and struck him.
Kwaaaaang.
“Cough!”
Logan barely managed to crush the earthen spear while coughing up blood from the impact.
But at that moment, thousands of transparent blades flew through the thick dust and pulverized the space he was in.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
“Huh!”
Ugh.
I barely escaped the crisis by using all my remaining strength to cast Space Charm.
“Pierce through!”
With the emperor’s words, the blood that gushes out on the battlefield became countless daggers and poured down on him.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
“Ok.”
Logan barely managed to protect his vital area, but he was instantly covered in blood and stumbled.
‘shit! If only he had recovered a little more strength…’
But the emperor who suddenly appeared in front of him stretched out his right hand with an indifferent expression.
“I’ll burn your soul too. Mekido!”
The blue flames that arose from that hand covered Logan’s whole body.
Logan gritted his teeth, sensing that everything would end the moment the flame touched his body.
“Taa!”
Damn it.
It felt as if the force cores in my heart, which had already exceeded their limit and were squeezing out strength, were cracking all at once.
At the same time, nearly half of Logan’s red hair turned white, and Lux, swinging like lightning, gave off a more brilliant golden light than ever before.
Flashing.
Kwaaaaaaaaaa!
Rumbling.
As the shock wave spread out following the explosion of light and hit the ground, the ground cracked open as if there had been an earthquake. The devastation created by the confrontation between the two absolutes once again attracted the attention of the battlefield.
“Cough. Cough!”
Logan, who had already turned gray, vomited out red blood.
The lux he had planted on the ground was barely supporting his body, but his trembling body seemed difficult to even take a single step.
“Oh my… it’s still my victory.”
The emperor also had a fist-sized hole in his side and black blood was constantly pouring out from the corner of his mouth, but he seemed to have at least the strength to hold on to his body.
but.
“That’s it. Step back, Emperor.”
The moment the silver-haired mercenary intervened, the situation suddenly changed.
