Regressor of the Fallen Family Chapter 96

96 Hwa kwaaaaang!

“You…”

What do you mean? That idiot.

Logan watched Aslan fall into the water that filled the moat with a plopping sound, and licked his lips with regret.

It was a shame to miss out on this golden opportunity.

A top-notch article that recklessly came up alone.

I wondered if I could seize the opportunity and finish him off with a single blow, but the bastard managed to parry his attacks even in an unstable state while hovering in the air.

Because of that, he fell down the castle wall, but even if it wasn’t water, falling from this height wouldn’t be a big problem for a top-class knight.

And as expected, the water in the moat where he was submerged burst out, and before I knew it, I saw him standing on the ground, looking very wet.

“Tsk!”

And that wasn’t the only problem.

Even excluding those who returned to the other side of the wall, the Bipros Knights banded together and blocked the rain of Quarel more efficiently than before.

And the moment I saw the cavalry and infantry that arrived behind them scatter to all sides of the castle wall and take out their longbows.

Logan intuitively knew that his time of just sucking on honey was over.

However, the results of the first match have already exceeded expectations.

‘I guess we just have to deal with those guys.’

Aslan, another top knight, Plantz, and seven other top knights scattered to the north and south.

The problem was with these strong guys who could not only defend but also counterattack within the effective range of a repeating crossbow.

‘We have to hope that the North and South will hold out. ‘For now, let’s deal with it from here.’

Logan’s red eyes were glaring at the two top knights preparing to leap under the western castle wall.

The victory or defeat of the first battle, or this Tomodo Water Battle, depends on this.

The moment Logan sensed this, he increased his power.

Ugh.

The heart’s force core suddenly vomited out the power it had gathered, and most of that power was poured into the beloved sword Lux.

The goal is both top-quality articles.

It would have been absolutely impossible under normal circumstances, but he was on top of the castle wall and the enemies were jumping in an unstable position from below.

In this situation, it seemed like it could be possible if done well.

Logan used his senses to the fullest, calculated and predicted their movements, drew the optimal path, and swung his sword.

‘Get lost!’

An earth-shattering strike containing all the power of one’s body.

The golden light rising from the tip of the swung sword became a giant sword over 20 meters long and swept away the enemies half in the air at once.

“Sigh!”

“what…?!”

At that time, I had a premonition of success while looking at the astonished eyes of my enemies.

Clap la la rock.

The silver whip that shot out from Plantz’s sword hit the castle wall, and with the repulsion of the force, Plantz changed direction in the air and climbed up onto the castle wall, avoiding Logan’s attack as if doing acrobatics.

Paaaaaaaa!

The strike, containing all his might, disappeared leaving only a golden afterglow in the air.

Plantz’s grinning face looked like he was going to get hit again, so I gritted my teeth, but I couldn’t express that anger right away.

“I’ll kill you!”

A man resembling a monkey, who had dodged his attack by disappearing faster than Plants as if shortening the space, was stabbing me with a red sword right in front of me.

visor! visor!

bang!

“Pfft!”

Aslan’s attack, standing with both feet on the castle wall, was fierce.

Even though I was making full use of Ghost Shadow and Wind God’s Boots, my speed was barely able to keep up.

The power of the dark red but strangely short Force Blade was definitely more powerful than that Planz.

“Fool me some more!”

Although he was on the defensive and barely holding on, Logan quickly glanced around.

Whoops!

“No way!”

Before I knew it, my father, who had gone to the northern wall, had returned and was blocking Plants.

Good decision The defenses of the northern wall may be weakened, but this was the best option for now.

The soldiers guarding the castle walls have long since become corpses or fled to the surrounding area.

The flashing force blade and lightning-like movement made it difficult for anyone around to intervene.

Moreover, I don’t know the situation of the northern and southern castle walls, but right in front of me, Plantz’s silver Force Blade was tearing down a corner of the western castle wall.

Just because of his intrusion, the number of crossbows firing at the enemy outside the castle was reduced by 1/3.

Because of this, I could feel the movements of the enemy forces outside the castle changing slightly.

The arrows fired upwards from outside the castle walls by the enemy archers began to harass a small number of our soldiers.

‘ASAP!’

We had to deal with them quickly somehow.

The aftereffects of the failed strike a while ago were still there and the force had not recovered to more than half, but it was not the time to worry about such things.

Ugh.

Logan, with all his might, boldly threw himself at the enemy even while being pushed back.

Without any intention to block the red sword that was stabbing in front of my eyes, I just faced the enemy and stabbed him.

At that moment, an ominous smile appeared on Aslan’s lips.

The force blade stretched from the enemy’s sword for an instant and aimed at Logan’s heart.

but.

“Huh?!”

Push.

Before that, a beam of golden light shot from Logan’s sword pierced Aslan’s shoulder.

‘Finish it in one go!’

Ugh.

The force core rang and I felt a tingling pain.

Logan, mustering his last strength, attacked Aslan like a storm.

Chachaechaechaeng!

Quaaaang!

The golden sword attacked the red armor frantically, but the sword could not easily achieve its purpose.

‘Pfft!’

Even though I wasn’t particularly injured, I could smell blood in my mouth and a tingling sensation near my heart.

Nevertheless, the enemy still showed no openings.

He was able to move his pierced shoulder minimally and receive all attacks with minimal damage.

He also knows that the moment this attack stops, Logan’s strength disappears.

The enemy’s eyes follow your movements while maintaining a tenacious defense.

Faced with that, Logan felt gloomy.

Although he had not risen to the level, he was confident that he had become much stronger than before after receiving training from a teacher in the capital and mastering the ghost shadow.

I thought I would be able to win if I was at the level of Planz I had fought with before.

However, the level of Aslan, who was also known as the highest knight, was different.

Although it didn’t have any unusual special abilities like a force blade that could be swung like a whip, it was much faster and stronger than Plants.

‘It can’t go on like this…’

The moment I ran out of my last remaining force, I could not help but imagine myself collapsing from a counterattack.

And that imagination naturally created a gap.

Flashing.

The moment a red thunderbolt came out from the long arm of the crouching enemy, Logan realized his mistake and swung his sword with all his might.

Quaaaang!

The golden sword lightly grazed the guy’s shoulder, and the red thunderbolt slightly tore off Logan’s side and went right through the castle wall.

Looking at the hole the size of a human head beneath his feet, Logan felt relieved but also had doubts.

‘why?’

Although he was the one who saw the gap, his attack was too hasty.

It was no exaggeration to say that Logan survived thanks to him.

If he had used a secret technique with more power than the red thunderbolt and used a secret technique to aim for his life, but had only targeted injury through a gap, the victory would have naturally been in his favor.

‘But why?’

“You rat!”

The enemy, who let out a harsh voice, went on the offensive.

In any case, the momentum changed due to the previous blow.

Aslan’s red sword began to drive Logan crazy.

However, Logan also defended tenaciously and withstood his attack.

And only after enduring that ‘urgent’ attack did he realize that he had made a big mistake.

‘I’m not the one who’s more urgent right now.’

Since he was clearly outnumbered in terms of military strength, he overexerted himself in order to maintain the advantage he had gained in the short term, but there were people in more urgent need than him.

It would be Aslan, Plantz, and the senior knights in front of us, who were the strongest of the enemy forces on the castle wall.

It is true that the more they play, the more disadvantageous McLane becomes, but they are now in the middle of the enemy army.

As time passed and the McLane knights and soldiers gathered together, there was no guarantee that they would not be in danger from blind swords or arrows.

Whether the army wins or not, they may die before they achieve it.

I had forgotten that simple situation.

Fear of death. That would be the same whether it was a single soldier or a top knight.

What if you encounter an unexpected obstacle in enemy territory and are stranded?

Only then was Logan able to read the impatience in Aslan’s brown eyes.

And I thought of a way to take advantage of this impatience, which was a little different from my own.

It wasn’t long before Logan’s red eyes began to flash again and look for an opportunity.

Flashing.

For an instant, a beam of golden light shot out from the tip of Logan’s sword, which was being pushed aside.

It was a surprise attack, but Aslan, who had read the omen, turned sharply to avoid the attack.

And with a smile of repentance, he tries to take advantage of the enemy’s greatly revealed weakness.

“Ahh!”

A familiar voice screamed from behind me.

Because the scream made him flinch, the sword slowed down ‘just a little’.

He gave the opponent, who was nicknamed the Knight of Speed, a speed comparable to his own, time to dodge.

Skag.

The sharp sword wound on my forearm and my shaky legs really don’t have much left.

But Logan thought it was a profitable business.

The place where Logan and Aslan’s eyes met at the same time.

The three knights of Biphros, who had just climbed over the castle wall after breaking through the rain of arrows that had been weakened by the intrusion of Aslan and Planz, were groaning as they were pierced by a beam of golden light.

“this guy!!”

Aslan let out a fierce roar with sparks flying out of his eyes, and he ground his teeth in anger, making a horrifying noise.

However, Logan somehow withstood his attack and shot out another beam of golden light.

“Ugh!”

This time too, the three enemy knights who had just climbed the castle wall were caught in the beam of light and fell down.

Logan clearly felt that he had reached his limit, but he rushed at Aslan even more fiercely.

“Let’s play some more!”

And then.

– Retreat! Retreat!

Biphros’ voice heard from outside the castle.

Aslan’s body trembled as he experienced a new experience where his anger, which he thought had already reached its limit, once again exceeded its limit.

“You bastard…”

Chang! visor!

Quack!

Due to the ordered retreat and Logan avoiding direct confrontation and eating away at the knights of Bipros little by little, he is unable to properly vent his anger.

Aslan, who was playing with his sword dizzyingly, eventually pulled himself out.

“We’ll see, kid. Next time…”

“Why? Do you see it now?”

His wide-open eyes were overflowing with murder, but Aslan chose to jump out of the castle walls instead of rushing at his opponent.

Seeing that, Planz, who was fighting against Padric, also gritted his teeth and ran out of the castle.

He acted with a relaxed expression . At that moment, Logan collapsed as if he had collapsed.

– We won!

With his father’s voice screaming with a pale complexion.

Tomodo Castle was engulfed in loud cheers.

* * * They shouted as if they had won the war . It was Dan McLane’s army, but unless you’re a fool, everyone guessed that this wasn’t the end.

However, the deep anxiety and fear that I felt when the Bipros army first appeared was replaced to some extent with confidence.

That alone was the victory in this battle. It was valuable.

However, the complexion of the leadership was not so good.

“They will not let down their guard any longer.”

Padric, whose complexion had not yet recovered, said with a stern face.

Proving that the daytime clash was not that easy. He looked tired.

It was natural for deep concern to appear in his eyes.

“I know.”

“Is it the time you mentioned yet?”

“…Yes.”

“You still can’t tell me the reason?”

“ …Please hold on just a little longer.”

Logan’s eyes turned to the moon, which had begun to rise again.

After reaching its full peak, the moon began to shed its contents again.

Under normal circumstances, everyone here would be happy to celebrate the start of a new year. It was the first day of the new year.

However, it was a month that only filled Logan with despair.

‘I should have heard the news by now at the latest.’

Something may have gone wrong in the history of his previous life.

Logan couldn’t bear to tell others about that distant and ominous guess.

But even so, perhaps it was evident in his expression.

“Huh, okay. What should we do now?”

His father with a stern face tapped his shoulder.

The knights who were listening also pounded their chests and clenched their fists every time their eyes met with Logan.

Looking at them like that, Logan felt a twinge in his heart. I felt it.

It wasn’t because of the injuries I received during the day.

‘Because of me…’

These people might all end their lives here.

Just because they followed his words. The

inner strength of the territory that was just starting to grow. Was it right to solidify it? The

regret that he had shaken off early clung to the depths of his heart again.

The fear that everything he had achieved through his success after returning could collapse at once.

That burden was eating away at Logan’s soul.

And then.

– Enemies! Enemies are coming!

On the night of the first moon of the new year,

Bipros’ second attack has begun.
