438 As soon as the sword’s energy filled the space, a golden ray of light spread through it.
The golden light that seemed to confront the black light for a moment soon took over the surroundings, completely erasing the black space.
Kwakwakwakwakwa.
Wow!
“this…!?”
A bright voice with no composure.
The Kassel Matapju, which disappears and reappears repeatedly as if folding space for an instant, easily avoided the barrage of golden light that dominated a radius of several tens of meters.
But in other words, that was all.
The black magic he unleashed faded away without being able to reach Logan, while the golden auror easily crushed the defense of the black magic.
Both of them are embarrassed by the unexpected development.
Fortunately, it was Logan who realized the reason first.
‘Opposite of… Okay, now that I think about it….’
Things that I had overlooked simply because I thought they were my own characteristics suddenly passed through my mind.
In the past, when the Kingdom Alliance faced the magicians of the Kassel Tower, they collapsed helplessly from their attacks. Luisa’s brainwashing magic also dissipated without much resistance to her force.
So, he himself vaguely guessed that his power was the opposite of theirs. But that doesn’t just apply to the minions…
‘The same goes for the tower owner?’
why?
I once again became curious about the reason, but before that, I felt anxious.
‘opportunity!’
The force that was thought to be one step short is actually overwhelming the enemy. There was no reason to hesitate any longer.
When I saw the enemy’s face turn pale and the smile disappeared, my resolve became even stronger.
“It was the same thing… Oh, hehe…”
There was no need to worry about the meaningless muttering that came out of Topju’s mouth.
however.
Despite the superiority of the competition, it was not easy to catch the top owner.
Skag.
With a light swing of the sword, the golden auror blade was launched dozens of meters away. The golden auror, which seemed as if it could traverse the vast space and destroy the walls of the training hall, disappeared as if permeating the moment it touched the wall.
Logan shows off fantastic auror control with an attack range that dominates the entire space.
However, the body of the tower owner, who disappeared as if melted by golden aura, appeared at almost the same time in a space dozens of meters away behind him. As soon as it was recognized, the golden sword shot spread out again and swept over the spot, but all it cut down was the remnant of the tower owner.
Aura Master Logan’s attack, and his movement to avoid it after reading the short gap that was difficult for even a superhuman to perceive, was truly exquisite.
In addition, even slashes naturally imbued with the power of spatial and soul slashes could not prevent the exercise of even greater power.
Of course, the tower owner’s expression got a little worse every time he disappeared and reappeared, but Logan’s expression, who was spraying auras with his power tens of meters in all directions, was equally bad.
‘It’s so easy to move through space…’
It feels like the most delicious soup is in front of you, but the only utensil you have is a fork.
When his magic didn’t work, Topju gave up counterattacking and focused only on avoiding the rain of Auror Blades, which was more difficult to deal with than the soup that escaped through the gap in the fork.
In that case….
‘You can just pick it up and drink it!’
Logan gritted his teeth and raised the power of the Force Core, which had only recently fully recovered, to its limit.
And just as he was about to demonstrate his characteristics.
“If you really want to see the end, this old man will just disappear, Your Majesty.”
The voice of Cassel Matapju, which felt a little urgent, blocked the attempt.
Ugh.
The aurors who had focused on Lux, the beloved sword, vibrated with disappointment, but at this point, Logan had no choice but to admit it.
‘…I can’t catch it.’
Although it can be overpowered, it cannot prevent it from escaping. The difference in level, which is still not enough, is holding us back.
I should have used the characteristics from the beginning and attacked them all at once without even knowing their compatibility. Of course, I couldn’t help it because I couldn’t have expected it at the time.
‘shit.’
I felt sad in my heart, but I couldn’t show it.
Logan forced a smile and shook his head.
“It was a good experience, Topju.”
“So do I. Thank you, Your Majesty.”
For Logan, it was just a courtesy, but seeing the slightly flushed face of the smiling Topju made him feel uneasy. I had an ominous feeling that I had unknowingly given a hint to a potential enemy.
Still, the situation where I couldn’t help but laugh was even more unpleasant.
“…I was too busy with my hands. I had just recovered from my injury, so I couldn’t control my excitement. I apologize, Top owner.”
“No, no. Thanks to you, I learned a lot. You don’t have to worry about it, Your Majesty. Hehe.”
Logan’s frown slightly furrowed at that laugh.
The owner of the tower would not know that there was a lot of life in the attack just a moment ago.
Nevertheless, taking such a low stance would mean that Kassel Matap had no intention of antagonizing McLane, at least for the time being.
I couldn’t tell if it was for its essential purpose or because of something I had just acquired.
“Thank you…”
For now, I had no choice but to smile.
Fortunately, he also gained something.
After exchanging several attacks, we were able to deduce why the Magic Tower Lord’s magic was destroyed so easily.
It was closer to intuition rather than deep understanding. The deeper power of the soul recognized the difference in a split second.
‘The magical power of the magic tower, no, the magical power of the Kassel Magic Tower itself is similar to divine power. It feels like a deteriorated version of the fragment of the power of will planted by the gods.’
Perhaps their faith-like faith in Gibrik Cassel is the basis of their magical power.
However, in a situation where there is no powerful person who gives the fundamental power like divine power, using the power of will through magic is bound to be easily defeated by the power of wish.
It was the ultimate perfection created by that essential difference.
‘He’s probably weak against divine power, but it’s amazing that he brainwashed the former Pope. Is it because of Gibrik Cassel’s holy relics?…’
It was quite a surprising discovery that belief in someone who is not God and has no divinity can be transformed into practical power.
Thanks to this, my understanding of the ‘most essential power’ deepened and I also gained one more clue to overcome the ‘wall’.
‘Perhaps in order to attain divinity, in addition to the power of will possessed by a high-ranking soul…’
It feels like I can see a little bit of a level beyond the Auror Master, which felt vague no matter how many times I used the trait.
In addition, now that he has learned that the power of the Kassel Magic Tower cannot compete with the power of Desire, Logan can also show a sincere smile.
“I’m glad it helped.”
“Then shall we conclude the story? To take down that ruthless empire.”
“Of course.”
“For now, I will refuse to directly participate in the battlefield. As of yet, the Holy Kingdom…”
“Of course. As I said, we will be on the western border…”
They put their heads together and discussed ways to cooperate as if they had never fought before. did.
Even though they knew that they would eventually become enemies, they kept smiling faces.
* * * The world has faced a period of unprecedented chaos in the past few hundred years.
The McLane War following the empire’s declaration of war, its shocking results, and the invasion of the empire by 10 Western countries.
A war that did not discriminate between east and west swept across the continent, and an enormous amount of blood began to flow.
Then, when the imperial army, finally defeated at McLane, participated in the Western Front.
– I will blow away the central army of the empire that was defeated by one Macline!
Exmaster Clay Malone, commander of the Kingdom of Gaia, who claimed to be the representative of the 10 Western countries, openly ridiculed the empire.
And at this moment.
“Long live your Majesty the Emperor!”
“For the Empire!”
“Wow!”
He had to shed tears of blood amidst the terrible attacks of the imperial army.
“Damn it! Stop it! Stop it!”
The red aura scattered from his beloved guillotine cut down dozens of fearlessly charging imperial troops at once.
but.
“Aaaahhh!”
“Run away too!”
“Ugh…”
More than 70% of the troops collapsing around us were our allies.
They had taken the walls of Rugenheim, making great sacrifices and secretly receiving help from the continent, but now they were helplessly collapsing.
And the most fundamental cause is.
‘Why are there so many damn articles!?’
It was an endless offensive by imperial knights.
The imperial army currently fighting off the Gaia Kingdom army in Rugenheim is at best around 70,000 to 80,000 strong.
It was a combination of the remnants of the defeated Western 5th Corps and part of the imperial central army, and its size was not that great, as evidenced by the large number of troops consumed in the war with McLane.
However, there seemed to be almost 5,000 knights in a force of only 1.5 corps.
‘I thought there were too many knights in the 5th Legion, but this is too much!’
Considering that the number of knights out of the 100,000 soldiers of the Kingdom of Gaia was less than 2,000, this was a truly ridiculous figure.
So at first, I thought that they might be showing off by dressing regular soldiers in knightly armor to hide the strength of their troops. An empire overflowing with money could use such a strategy.
But it was a vain expectation.
“Stop it!”
“Aaaah!”
“no!!”
There were dying allies everywhere.
For soldiers, knights and superhumans are enemies they cannot handle anyway. The only difference was between dying and falling without even seeing the attack at all, or holding on a few times before dying.
A weapon that had been heard like a rumor in the eastern part of the continent far away, and which Clay thought was just a rumor, was said to be a weapon that a soldier could kill a knight.
If there had been such a weapon, the difference in the number of knights, close to 3,000, would have been nothing short of a disaster.
Of course, I couldn’t give up.
“Damn it!”
Ugh.
Clay squeezed the handle of his favorite bottle as if he were going to break it, mustering all the force in his body.
It was hard on my entire body, but now was the moment to push myself.
‘We need to bring the momentum back.’
And the only one who could do it was himself.
“I’ll kill them all!!”
Quaaaang!
Auras surging like flames converged on the ax guillotine raised, repelling the knights who were attacking him.
Soon, the moment when his beloved disease turns into a huge red Auror axe like a giant.
– You bastard die.
The cold voice that echoed everywhere became a biting blue wind that rushed towards him like a storm.
‘Army of the cold wind!’
Looking at that, Clay smiled cruelly.
The first objective was achieved. The enemy leader, who had been flying through the air and destroying friendly knights instead of dealing with him, began to focus his energy on himself.
‘If only I destroy this guy.’
Grumbling.
“Waaaaaaap!”
With a scream-like spirit, the giant strike, a special move he had been cultivating his entire life, split the swirling blue wind in half.
No, it seemed that way.
‘Surprise?!’
The only sensation in his grasp was the feel of the heavy stones that made up the castle wall, not the sticky feeling of magical power that offset the shock.
Rumbling.
Hehehe.
Soon, along with the sound of a corner of the castle wall collapsing, the split blue wind gathered again in front of his nose.
“To a guy like this…”
A sharp gust of wind followed the sharp voice.
Skag.
The sound that signaled the end of his life was only a very small burst compared to the blow he unleashed.
‘This can’t be right…’
There was only one thought that came to mind as the burning pain radiated from my neck.
‘A small country in the east single-handedly stopped these guys?’
…lie.
That was the end of Gaia’s Xmaster Clay Malone.
When the empire began to attack the 10 western countries thanks to its victory in the first battle.
A voice that would once again shock the world broke out from the eastern part of the continent.
– We will severely punish the shameless empire that disturbs the peace of the world!
At the same time as the proclamation of Logan McLane, the Sun God of the Continent, McLane’s legion began to march towards the eastern border of the empire.
