Regressor Of The Fallen Family [EN]: Chapter 338

“Enemy…!”

Scritch.

A knight tried to attack, taking advantage of his friend’s fall. But Logan’s silver sword flashed and cut him in two.

The silver sword flashed brightly. It was this sword that cut the knight in two. The silver light was beautiful, like a lucky charm. But what it did was terrible. Blood was everywhere. Everyone watching was shocked.

Then, quickly…

“Aaaargh!”

“He, he killed someone!”

“It’s the enemy!”

The workers who were watching screamed and ran away in all directions.

Logan’s face was calm. He swung his sword at the knights who were too scared to run or attack.

Scritch.

“Ugh.”

“Kraaah!”

“Darn it!”

Some knights froze when they saw the aura. It was a sign of a superhuman warrior. Other knights were brave and attacked. But it didn’t matter. They all died quickly.

Maybe because of the loud screams, many knights rushed out of the mine.

But they were just common soldiers.

They didn’t even line up to fight. They just ran out and were scared when they saw the blood.

Logan didn’t wait. He ran forward to attack the scared enemies.

His face was very calm, not like the panicked enemies.

‘The messenger came and went yesterday, so he won’t be back for a while.’

Thud.

Flash.

Logan took a big step and swung his silver sword. The sword was very long, almost three meters. It cut through the soldiers easily, slicing five knights at once.

Splat.

“Aaaargh!”

“It’s a superhuman!”

“An aura user!”

The knights were scattered. They finally understood what was happening and lined up, looking grim. Like brave knights of the Empire, they decided to fight even though they were losing.

And that was a good idea. Even a superhuman would have trouble in this place. The mine was on a high mountain, and the knights could surround him.

However…

‘It’s already too late.’

The leaders, the strong knights who could tell the soldiers what to do, were already dead from the first attack.

Logan knew there were more knights inside the mine. But he only cared about the ones in front of him.

The knights didn’t have a leader, so it took them a while to line up and get ready.

It wasn’t long, but it was enough time for Logan to kill them all.

Swish.

Logan moved like smoke, slipping through the knights who were trying to line up.

And soon…

Splat.

The silver light spread out in a circle, cutting through the knights.

“Aaaargh!”

The knights screamed.

“B, block him!”

“We have to kill him!”

The knights were scared, but they tried to fight. But Logan was too strong for them.

He moved like the wind, dodging their attacks. His sword cut through the knights easily, slicing off arms, legs, and necks.

“Kraaah!”

“M, monster!”

One knight was so scared that he swung his sword and hit Logan’s body…

Clang.

But Logan’s armor glowed with a silver light and blocked the attack.

“Aura Barrier…”

Only strong aura users could do that.

The knights knew what that meant. They dropped their swords and stared in shock.

“It’s only temporary!”

“If we push him and make him tired, we can win!”

The knights still wanted to fight, but they were losing. Logan’s sword kept cutting them down.

In a short time, almost fifty knights were dead.

Then, strong knights started to come out of the mine.

“Who goes there!”

Yasel Frigman shouted. His red axe glowed.

The axe wasn’t just glowing red. It was bigger, like a giant sword. It was a scary, crimson color.

‘Ho. Force shaping and compression at the same time?’

Only the best knights could do that. It showed that Yasel was a strong commander in the Eastern First Legion.

But Logan looked at the mage behind Yasel and the knights.

‘Huh?’

The mage had a faint gray light around him.

Logan couldn’t see it well at night, but now he knew the man was a mage. He was from the Cassel Magic Tower.

‘The descendants of the Magic Saint, Zibric Cassel.’

Now Logan knew who they were.

He realized why they knew this place.

But he had a question.

He hadn’t seen the mage from far away because the mage was hiding.

It was just that…

‘He’s weak. His magic isn’t very good. He’s just a beginner, barely superhuman.’

Logan wondered how someone like that could undo the barrier. But he couldn’t ask now. He just stared at Yasel, looking serious.

“So, you don’t even want to talk to me?”

Yasel’s face became hard. He stepped forward carefully. The knights behind him moved together, lining up perfectly.

Knights with shields and heavy armor were in the front. Knights with swords and spears were ready to attack from all directions. They would attack Logan from the sides and back if he killed the knights in front.

Yasel held up his glowing axe and spoke again.

“Superhuman or not,” Yasel growled, his face red with anger, “You’ve made a mistake. You’ll die here for attacking the Empire!”

He looked confident and not scared.

He thought they could win if they surrounded Logan. The Empire’s knights were known for not being afraid to die. They would keep fighting even if many of them died.

So, he thought they could kill a superhuman with their numbers.

‘If it were a normal aura user, a weak superhuman, that is.’

Maybe they could even beat a strong aura user if they were willing to lose many men.

But Logan was too strong. Even if he was weaker because of the aura, he wouldn’t be beaten by them.

The only thing that worried him was the mage in the back.

Of course, the mage was thinking about that too.

“Magician!”

“Don’t worry, knight.”

Yasel shouted. At the same time, Logan disappeared and appeared in front of the mage.

“What!”

Yasel was surprised. Logan’s silver sword flashed and cut through something.

But…

Splat.

The sword cut through a clear barrier around the mage.

“Huh?”

Clang!

Something broke in the mage’s hand. The barrier started to disappear.

“Tch.”

Wham!

Logan hit the barrier with his sword, trying to break it faster. But the barrier didn’t break easily.

The mage used this chance…

“Get lost!”

The mage was surprised. He used his magic right in front of Logan’s face.

Kawaaaang!

A shockwave exploded.

The barrier disappeared because of the shockwave. But Logan was pushed back.

‘Damn it.’

It was too bad.

If he had used all his power, he could have broken the barrier and killed the mage.

But he couldn’t just stand there. He turned around. A strong force was coming at him from behind.

“Die!”

Yasel’s red axe was coming down, ready to crush Logan.

A faint silver light flashed.

Kawaaang!

But the result was not what it seemed.

“Ugh!”

Yasel stumbled back and vomited blood.

Logan took a few steps back and regained his balance.

That was the difference between an aura user and a force user.

But Logan’s eyes looked strange.

‘Impressive.’

Logan had wanted to break the axe and cut off Yasel’s head in one attack.

But Yasel’s force resisted the power of the aura.

If Logan was just starting to use his aura, Yasel could have lasted a dozen attacks. He was very strong.

Maybe he had learned a special technique…

‘Is there a hidden move that all high-ranking forces of the Empire learn?’

Logan wanted to find out. He decided to investigate when he was done here.

He was thinking, but his body was already moving towards Yasel.

Another flash of silver.

He was going to finish off Yasel, but someone stopped him.

“Captain!”

“We won’t let you!”

Knights ran in from the sides.

Their swords and bodies were hit by Logan’s attack, which was meant for Yasel.

Splat.

The knights fell. Yasel’s eyes were wide.

“No!!”

Yasel screamed. His eyes turned red.

“Kill him!”

Yasel charged. The knights surrounded Logan and rushed at him.

“Die!”

Yasel swung his axe. It was faster and stronger than before.

His body was hurt, but he didn’t stop. He was angry. He had trained hard every day.

But Logan was still better.

‘There are too many openings.’

Logan could see many ways to attack.

But he couldn’t attack easily.

He had to watch out for the spears behind him, the swords on his side, and the swords coming from the front. They weren’t as strong as Yasel’s attack, but he couldn’t ignore them.

He had to deal with all the knights anyway. He didn’t want to waste energy on an aura barrier.

He wished he had his whip blade.

But he couldn’t use it.

He didn’t want anyone to know who he was. He had to hide his identity as much as possible.

Wham!

He hit the axe and changed its direction. Then he spun around. Another silver line flashed.

Clang!

“Ugh!”

“Ack!”

Enemies fell, dying.

A knight lost an arm but was still alive. He vomited blood. More knights were charging behind him.

Yasel was still coming at him with his axe.

In that situation…

“Just die already!!”

Someone shouted. Gray mist surrounded Logan’s head.

‘This… even a decent superhuman would have died, wouldn’t they?’

If it wasn’t me, that is.

Logan smiled coldly. The silver flashed again.

Swish.

“Aargh!”

Another wound appeared on Yasel’s body. The charging knights died.
