Regressor Of The Fallen Family [EN]: Chapter 352

‘I underestimated the Demon Forest,’ Logan thought grimly.

It was his own fault. Carelessness.

When Logan first stepped into the Demon Forest, he yelled and screamed like a madman, trying to play the part of the crazy Gail. Even then, he hadn’t expected *this* much trouble.

*Demons are just demons,* he’d told himself. *How much trouble could they really be for me? I’m at the highest level of Aura Users!* Logan was powerful, able to use his inner energy for incredible strength and speed. *Even in a forbidden place like this, I should be able to protect myself easily.*

That’s what he had foolishly believed.

He had forgotten the stories. Forgotten that the Demon Forest was a place of nightmares, a demonic region that had swallowed the entire army of the strongest kingdom in the north ages ago. A cold shiver ran down his spine as the memory returned.

Because of this, Logan saw monsters from the Demon Forest. They were surprised by his loud roar and rushed to attack him, seeing him as a new enemy.

Logan had just finished off more than a dozen two-headed monkeys.

Then, he saw something enormous charging towards him through the glittering golden light of his aura.

Rumble.

As it charged, it knocked down several huge trees. Light shone into the dark forest, showing its terrifying appearance more clearly.

It looked like a giant boar.

Its tusks were huge and scary, almost a meter long. It had sharp, gray horns all over its body, from head to tail. Dark, scary energy seemed to flow from its body.

“Kuaaaah!”

Thud thud thud.

The giant boar charged, shaking the earth.

It looked threatening, but Logan felt annoyed and angry instead of scared.

‘Why are these things……’

How many hours had it been?

He had heard that the demons fought each other, but these guys were only attacking him.

“Kuaaaah!”

“Shut up!!”

Golden aura, filled with annoyance and anger, spun around him.

The aura became smaller and tighter, then shot out like a spear, hitting the boar’s side.

He used a move called Devil Spear. It was like Grit Einzhardt’s skill combined with his own Whip Blade.

The boar demon tried to turn its huge head to change direction, but Logan was too fast. He jumped and slashed the beast’s neck deeply.

The boar’s strong tusks, sharp horns, tough skin, and even its magic power to make it stronger – all of these were nothing against Logan’s aura.

His aura destroyed everything easily.

“Kuaaaack!!!”

Boom!

When Logan landed, the boar demon fell to the ground with a loud shriek.

Splash!

Hot, black blood exploded from the boar’s neck, spraying like a dark, disgusting fountain.

“Come on, all of you! I’ll wipe you out!”

His voice echoed loudly.

Logan, no longer trying to hide, let his murderous intent spread everywhere.

Was that the right choice?

Or was it the light from the trees the boar had knocked down that caused it?

The attacks stopped suddenly, and the forest became silent.

“……Hmm?”

Logan was confused by this. Then, he remembered another rumor about the Demon Forest.

– The demons don’t run away from strong enemies. But if you beat the boss of an area, they won’t attack you anymore.

The battle had lasted for hours and made even Logan nervous. Now that the attacks had stopped, he felt relieved.

But it was just a trick.

Crack!

Suddenly, a tree fell towards him with a breaking sound.

Logan quickly moved, but another tree fell, blocking his way. It was falling faster than a tree should.

‘Ugh!?’

Logan realized that the tree wasn’t just falling. It was being used as a club.

The club he knew was the size of his arm, not a giant tree.

Wham!

Rumble.

The ground shook where the tree hit.

Logan finally understood what was happening.

– Kraaaah!!!

He looked up and saw a huge figure. He didn’t know how it had gotten so close without him noticing.

It looked like a human, but it was about 20 meters tall.

Its muscles were huge and strong.

The giant covered himself with leaves, like someone from a primitive tribe. It was a monster with two heads.

Seeing the giant, Logan remembered a name.

These monsters were rare now, but they used to be the strongest on land.

‘An ogre? And with two heads?’

It was bigger than the stories said, and it had two heads. He couldn’t think of any other name for it.

Luckily, the monster hadn’t attacked when Logan was unsteady.

“Kyareuk?”

“Krorara.”

The two heads tilted and made strange noises, like they were talking. Then, they reached for Logan.

They didn’t swing the tree club.

‘Hmm?’

They seemed sure that Logan couldn’t move.

It was strange, but Logan didn’t have to follow their plan.

Snap.

“!!?”

“Rwa?”

The ogre’s hand was big enough to cover a person. Unlike human hands, its fingers were thick and uneven. Logan jumped through the gap and ran up the monster’s arm.

“Krorarararara!!”

“Kroaaah!”

The monster felt the pain and roared angrily. But Logan was already at its shoulder. He jumped into the air and used his golden power.

He saw the surprise and fear in the monster’s eyes and felt sure he would win.

But then.

“Rwa!!”

One head’s eyes turned black and made strange waves.

The waves stopped Logan’s aura.

Wham!

“Tch!”

Logan was thrown into the air.

He clicked his tongue, regretting his mistake. He saw the giant club falling towards him.

He couldn’t feel magic, but the club’s size was a threat.

‘Damn it.’

He wished he had brought the Boots of the Wind God. He had left them in Granpia because he was disguised as Gail.

Logan’s sword made a golden circle around him.

Whoosh.

The monster’s club passed through Logan’s body without a sound. It was like a part of space had been cut off.

When the club hit the ground.

Wham!

Rumble.

The ground shook again.

The club broke because of the hole, and pieces flew everywhere.

Logan jumped off a tree and attacked the monster’s head again.

“Rwa?”

“Rwak!?”

The monster looked surprised again, but Logan was annoyed.

‘Damn it.’

His power suddenly became much weaker, like it dropped by a third. He felt very tired.

He was trying to save his energy by not using Sky Split too much. But because of this, the monster attacked him back. He had to use Sky Split just to stop the attack, not to defeat the monster.

So, he had to finish it off this time.

“Die!”

“Rwa!”

“Krora!”

The black wave covered Logan again, but the power of the Heavenly Sky Cleaver, which cut through space, couldn’t be stopped by it.

It shouldn’t be.

But.

Bzzzt!

The black wave stopped the Heavenly Sky Cleaver for a moment.

Slash.

“Kieeeack!!”

In the end, it only cut off one head instead of two.

‘Damn it!’

That was still a bad wound.

Maybe it would stop fighting.

Logan thought quickly. But the one head that was still alive showed him that he was wrong.

“Krorarararara—!!”

The monster roared like thunder.

Its eyes turned red.

The monster’s whole body turned bright red.

‘Berserk!?’

Monsters sometimes go berserk when they are dying and become much stronger.

Logan landed and ran to a place where the monster couldn’t reach him.

‘I don’t need to fight now. I’ll just wait for it to fall.’

He didn’t need to fight the monster, which had nothing to lose.

“Krorararara!”

The monster roared behind him.

Crack! Crunch!

Bang!

Rumble.

The monster destroyed everything around Logan. Trees fell everywhere.

Logan jumped from tree to tree and escaped the destruction. He climbed onto the tallest tree.

Rumble.

“Krorara—!”

Logan was about to relax, but he felt a scary feeling again.

‘Above!?’

He looked up and saw a monster falling towards him.

It had three heads, wings, and a tail covered with thorns.

It looked like a dragon, the strongest creature in legends.

‘A drake?’

If the ogre was the strongest on land, the drake was the strongest in the air.

But he had never heard of a drake with three heads.

Before Logan could be surprised, the drake breathed fire.

Fwoooosh!

A giant flame came from all three heads.

“What the hell!!!!”

Logan used his golden aura and flew into the air.

Whoosh.

But the drake swung its heavy tail.

‘Damn it.’

If only he had the Boots of the Wind God.

Logan used the Heavenly Sky Cleaver again.

Slice.

“Kiyaaaaack!!”

The drake’s tail was cut off.

Logan fell to the ground through the drake’s blood. He was running out of power.

Logan grabbed a tree trunk with his Whip Blade.

But.

Rumble.

The ground shook, and his vision turned black.

Then, he saw red.

He was in the mouth of a giant snake.

‘What the hell! This is really messed up!’
