Regressor Of The Fallen Family [EN]: Chapter 298

Suddenly, Logan felt something terrible. It was a feeling he had never felt before, not ever.

Grey energy went into his body. It tried to take over him for a moment, and Logan was surprised.

But the instant Logan used his Force to resist, the unpleasant feeling vanished quickly, like snow melting.

“Huh?”

The energy disappeared so easily that he felt silly for being so tense.

Logan was confused. He looked around to see where the energy had come from.

He looked towards the enemy leader. The leader wore black robes and was surrounded by strong-looking knights.

Logan could almost see the leader’s angry face.

“I don’t understand what’s happening, but…”

The target was clear.

Neighing!

“I’ll kill you!!”

The knight on the silver horse moved fast!

Logan began to cut through the enemy lines alone, drawing everyone’s attention.

“Stop him!”

“He’s alone!”

“Kill him!!”

Shouts came from all over the battlefield as they saw the silver knight charging.

The enemy army was big. They didn’t know how to fight someone with Aura power except to send many soldiers at him.

Even a prepared mage would have trouble, let alone an Aura user who would get tired from cutting down so many people.

But.

“Get out of my way, all of you!”

Logan shouted loudly! A bright silver light shot up into the sky. It became a huge sword, very long, and swung sideways.

It looked like space was breaking apart!

The enemy soldiers behind saw their friends fall. They screamed in fear. They had never seen anything like this.

“Aaaargh!”

“A demon!”

“It’s a monster!”

‘Now!’

Logan gritted his teeth and charged into the scared enemy ranks.

His Force core vibrated strongly. He was getting back the power he had just used.

Using so much power to defeat enemies like this wasn’t the best way. It wasted energy.

But Logan was alone against many soldiers. He needed to do something big to scare the enemy and make his friends feel brave.

And Logan’s plan worked well.

“Stop him! I said, stop him!”

“H-How could he possibly…?”

“Such a monster…”

The commander shouted orders, but the enemy soldiers were too scared. They couldn’t stop Logan from charging forward, and the Liberty army cheered.

“The Silver Reaper!”

“The Gale Slayer!”

“The Silver Reaper is with us!”

Maybe there weren’t many mages on the battlefield, because the mass confusion didn’t happen again after Logan swung his sword.

Soon, the Liberty army followed Logan, having reorganized.

“Didn’t you say you’d take care of that monster!? What are you doing now!?”

Commander Caltoon from the Romero Kingdom yelled at the black-robed mage. He was very different now from the man who was happy earlier when the enemy fell.

But when the black-robed mage turned around, his blue eyes flashed, and the face of the man who had been shouting turned white.

The black-robed mage looked back at the battlefield and said in a cold voice…

“Useless things…”

The knights around him were scared, but the mage, Gerohin, stared at Logan, his eyes moving slightly.

‘The Soul Breaker spell should have worked! But why didn’t it?’ He didn’t understand.

Soul Breaker was not like the weaker spell, Mind Breaker. Soul Breaker was made to destroy minds, not just control them. It was even made to fight very strong people.

‘But he shook it off so easily?’

If someone could easily shake off a mage’s strong magic, mages wouldn’t be called superhumans like Aura users.

Also, their magic was not well-known, so they couldn’t have prepared defenses. No, even if they had prepared, he seemed to have overcome it too easily.

This reminded him of his greatest enemy from the Tower legends.

‘It can’t be him,’ he thought, feeling worried.

‘He’s powerful, but his Force is a different color.’

If he had seen golden Force instead of silver, he would have used a different tactic than the Soul Breaker spell.

Gerohin refocused and gathered his magic power.

He had heard that his contract with the Second Prince was extended. Unlike in the Tahiti Principality, he couldn’t fail.

Now, the Tower, which had been hidden for a long time, was trying to become known again.

The Tower wanted to use this request to make the small kingdoms of the East their new home.

Even though he was one of the Tower’s elders, he would be punished for failing.

– ‘The age when the gods left.’ The signs of that prophecy have been confirmed.

Gerohin remembered the words of the Tower’s leader and his master. Seeing Logan reminded him of the big fish he had missed in the Tahiti Principality.

“I’ll kill you!”

Mental magic isn’t my only skill.

Grey magic began to move wildly as the mage spoke.

‘Magic!’

Logan saw the grey magic move.

But it was different from the previous attacks on people’s minds.

Suddenly, grey vines with thorns grew from the ground!

They wrapped around the horse’s legs and stopped it completely, even though the horse was strong enough to block swords.

Crack!

Neighing!

The horse was covered in blood as it broke through the vines.

Then, a tall grey wall rose up, blocking Logan’s view. As he got through the wall, a huge black snake opened its mouth wide and attacked him, blocking his view again!

“Tch!”

The black snake’s head smashed into the space where Logan had been.

Logan kicked his horse hard. The horse jumped forward, and Logan charged towards the mage.

“Taaah!”

The distance between him and the mage closed quickly.

Now, he could clearly see the pale face under the black robe. His eyes, sharper than usual in battle, picked out every detail.

But the space between Logan and the mage was full of knights.

These knights had strangely bloodshot eyes, and dark red veins bulged on their faces.

“Kyaaah!”

“Kraaah!”

The knights screamed and shouted as they raised their weapons.

Even the normal soldiers were incredibly strong. Their swords seemed to have a magical power, ‘Force’, that made their strikes strong enough to break rocks. The stronger knights, the ‘intermediate’ ones, also used this Force. They swung their weapons wildly, like flashes of lightning.

‘Madness…!’

This magic was clearly sacrificing allies.

Viktor’s report, that it seemed like the work of a demon, played in his mind.

At the same time, he felt regret.

‘If only I had the Boots of the Wind.’

If he had his original equipment, he could have ignored attacks like these and leaped through the air, but he couldn’t do that now.

Logan used his skill, ‘Ghostly Shadows’, moving so fast he seemed like a ghost. He weaved through the knights, getting closer to the mage.

Fortunately, the attacks of the seemingly crazy knights, while strong, weren’t accurate.

“Kreuk.”

“Kreeuh.”

So, Logan only had to fight a few knights to get past them. This slowed him down a little, but he was still getting closer to the mage.

But that little bit of time seemed to have been enough for the enemy.

“Get out of my way, you fool! You can’t stop me!”

With a sharp shout full of anger, a powerful shockwave hit the space where Logan was.

A deafening roar ripped through the air, followed by a deep rumble that shook the ground beneath Logan’s feet.

The entire front of Geroin was destroyed, and thick dust billowed up. The air filled with the smell of dust and burnt earth after the explosion.

Geroin, whose face had become even paler from casting great magic spells one after another, smiled with satisfaction.

And at that moment, he felt a chilling murderous intent from behind.

However.

Before he could even turn around, he felt a sharp pain as if his entire body had been pierced.

A body fell, split in two.

In his remaining blue eye, he could only faintly see Logan gathering ‘golden’ Aura.

Haa. Haa.

Logan, catching his breath, stared at the dead mage with dismay.

‘That was close.’

At the last second, Logan used his hidden power, ‘Aura’. He changed it into ‘Force’ to make himself stronger, and quickly used his special ability, his ‘trait’.

If he hadn’t, he would have been the one to fall.

– No matter what happens, I can take care of myself.

He never thought he would feel his life threatened in a place he had come to help with someone else’s war, with such a relaxed attitude.

‘Just what are these guys?’

A strange mage using unheard-of magic spells one after another. They were people he had never even heard rumors of in his past life.

But there was no time to wonder about the guy’s identity.

“The enemy mage has been defeated!!”

Logan, catching his breath, once again spread ‘silver’ Aura in the air and shouted loudly.

That soon decided the outcome of the second battle.

“Uwaaaah!”

“We won!”

After the battle on the plains ended, the battlefield was filled with the Liberty Army’s cheers.

In fact, Liberty alone had destroyed the main forces of three of the four countries that were the main targets of this conquest. It was such a great victory that it was worth considering Liberty not just as a place of alliance, but as a conqueror.

However, most of the loud cheers were for the superhuman who had turned the tide of the battlefield, the Gale Slayer.

“Long live Liberty!”

“Long live the Silver Reaper!”

“Long live the Gale Slayer!”

Hearing the soldiers’ cheers, Caril Jamod smiled and bowed deeply towards Logan.

“Gale-nim, your bravery and skill are unmatched! We would have been lost without you. Liberty owes you everything!”

The one who had initially shown a blunt and subtly dismissive attitude was now gone. There was only a flatterer who rubbed his hands together as if he didn’t care if his palms wore out.

But Caril Jamod wasn’t ashamed of it at all.

‘As a knight before being a nobleman, how can I not respect such a great knight.’

He was thinking this himself.

Of course, there were other calculations in his mind.

If Liberty became the leading power in the alliance because of this war, Gale would have a position at least equal to that of Grand Duke Gunther, so he thought it wouldn’t be bad to be on good terms with him from the start.

He believed that such inner thoughts wouldn’t show at all, but there was no one among those watching him now who couldn’t notice it.

However, Logan was frowning, holding up a small, plain ring.

“Count.”

“Yes, yes, Your Excellency!”

“The mage who died by my hand, have you heard anything about him?”

“Ah… well, that, that’s….”

“Then what about this strange symbol?”

When Logan used Force on the ring, the image of a black snake coiled inside a blue circle appeared in the air.

A symbol that Logan was only seeing for the second time in person.

But now, he couldn’t just ignore it like before.

“I, I’m sorry, Your Excellency. I will investigate as quickly as possible.”

As expected.

Logan sighed softly and shook his head.

‘If they’re sending mages to the front lines of the Small Kingdom Alliance, they must be a powerful group. Just how much potential does the Empire have?’

Logan, unaware that those who used the black snake symbol were hostile to the Empire, could only feel his worries deepen.

And because of his appearance, the Liberty commanders couldn’t show a happy face even after the great victory, and could only stand there awkwardly.

In that situation.

News that drew everyone’s attention was delivered: “The war between the Kingdom of Kaloon and the Kingdom of Teronan is….”
