Regressor Of The Fallen Family [EN]: Chapter 465

“It’s the Usurper King!”

“Kill him!”

The knights on the ramparts charged at Logan in unison.

Logan was known as an Aura Master, a hero. Normally, these knights wouldn’t stand a chance. But they charged anyway, as if they didn’t even realize it.

However, Logan could clearly see their ambition.

– If I behead the enemy leader, the greatest achievement will be mine.

They wanted glory, even if they didn’t realize it.

It was courage, mixed with the madness of the battlefield.

‘Interesting.’

Even now, in this dangerous moment, he could understand exactly what the enemy was thinking. This was new for him.

He was keenly aware that he was growing stronger through this battle.

The problem was that his current state wasn’t normal. And fortunately, Victoria was by his side, ready to handle the situation.

[Don’t worry about me; focus on attacking elsewhere.]

She was so reliable that she could send such a message to her own troops.

Creak… Creak…

The ground in front of Logan and to his sides caved in. Dust and stone rained down as the earth cracked open. Then, with a rumble, three stone golems rose.

The golems immediately stood in the path of the Imperial knights charging from three sides, each blocking their advance.

Kawaaaang!

“Aaaaargh!”

Victoria’s magic, that of a 6th Circle Master, now more fittingly called the Golem Master instead of Clayton.

These were no ordinary golems. They were faster and stronger than even skilled Aura warriors. They formed a wall of stone around Logan and Victoria, a barrier that seemed impossible to break.

“Your Majesty, please! Are you truly alright?”

“Yes. I don’t know how the Emperor will act. It’s best to wait for me to recover quickly.”

“Yes. I will definitely protect you……”

“It’s the Golem Princess!”

Victoria stopped speaking, her jaw tightening. ‘Golem Princess,’ they called her. The name felt like a sting, even after all this time.

– Crush that one first.

The golem faithfully carried out Victoria’s order, filled with fury.

Kwaaaang!

Whooosh.

‘Hmm.’

Inside the brown protective barrier created by Victoria, Logan, feeling his rapidly recovering Force, surveyed the battlefield.

The strategy of exploiting the enemies’ brainwashing had worked perfectly. It was a plan made possible by his enhanced power and the addition of Victoria, an unparalleled genius.

There were also the scrolls from the Cassel Magic Tower, already brimming with the power of life, and the absence of the Magic Tower Lord and other mages, who might have countered the spells.

He couldn’t know why they hadn’t appeared on the battlefield.

‘Thanks to that, it worked out perfectly.’

The plan worked better than anyone could have hoped. Even the Emperor, a powerful mage of the 9th class, seemed helpless against it for now.

Of course, he wasn’t entirely without anxiety.

He had already used his ability to temporarily reach the realm of a god. On the other hand, the enemy, though only a half-baked god, had already cast two great magic spells.

He couldn’t even guarantee that there wouldn’t be a third. It was only fortunate that the probability was extremely low.

‘He won’t be able to use similar magic three times. If he could, he wouldn’t have brought an army.’

In the end, Logan came to a similar conclusion as his master. He felt a little more relieved because he was confident that he had damaged the Emperor internally by destroying the first magic spell.

Yes, everything is going smoothly.

‘……Too smoothly.’

The moment he had that thought, a figure in golden armor floated in the sky, surrounded by swirling blue magic. The air itself seemed to bend around him.

Then, silence fell. Every eye turned upwards.

– The Emperor!

The gazes of the Imperial soldiers, who were marching towards the main camp, turned to the sky in an instant.

The Emperor flew towards the walls of Luthspellheim, leaving behind a trail of blue magic in the air.

The tens of thousands of troops, thoroughly brainwashed and having survived the Emperor’s great magic, changed their marching direction again, chasing after the Emperor.

Thud thud thud.

“Ha……, damn it.”

A curse word slipped out at the sight similar to that at Kyle Castle. However, the difference in the power he felt was on another level.

The only thing that was the same was himself, exhausted as he was back then.

“I’ll stop him. Your Majesty, please take refuge……”

Victoria, with a pale complexion, blocked his path, but Logan shook his head and pushed her back.

“Thanks to you, I’ve recovered a bit. Besides, I’m still stronger than you right now.”

“But if Your Majesty isn’t here……!”

“And I have a separate task for you.”

“Yes?”

Logan quickly conveyed his thoughts to the bewildered Victoria.

[Go to the inner castle. And……]

The firm message was conveyed through telepathy.

It was etched into her mind faster than words could travel.

“Can you do it?”

“……Yes. Absolutely!”

Victoria, her complexion somewhat flushed, hurriedly ran towards the inside of the ramparts and then jumped into the air.

Beneath her feet, the stones that made up the ramparts instantly formed stairs, moving her body to the ground.

After confirming that, Logan turned his gaze back.

The golems were still dealing with the Imperial knights, even though their master had disappeared.

Beyond them, he could clearly see the Emperor, his whole body wrapped in streaks of blue light, but strangely, his mind was calm.

It wasn’t because he was confident that he could defeat the Emperor.

– We will win.

– We have His Majesty Logan.

– We are the strongest!

The power of battlefield dominance was being transmitted, the minds of his allied soldiers fighting all over the ramparts.

Even amidst the explosions and screams echoing from all directions, those minds were vividly supporting his own.

‘This must also be a kind of power of wishes.’

Now he could vaguely understand the essence of the power that had sent him back to the past.

And thanks to that, the recovery rate of his Force was faster than expected. Even the sight of the golems collapsing as Victoria moved beyond a certain distance didn’t bother him.

“The enemy is exhausted!”

“The golems have disappeared!”

“Kill him!”

Swish.

The knights, who had been running towards Logan again after seeing the golems disappear, fell like straw when a streak of golden light swept past them.

It was as if a god of death had swept through a space nearly 30 meters in radius.

In front of that silent space of death, the Imperial knights, who had bravely charged even when the incredibly powerful golems were rampaging, froze en masse.

Gulp.

The moment someone was heard swallowing.

“For, for the Empire!”

One of the Imperial knights, who had been looking at Logan, started charging towards another direction as if he had intended to do so from the beginning.

Logan, clicking his tongue at the sight, watched the approaching Emperor and turned his gaze to where Victoria had disappeared.

Victoria would have thought enough about the order he had given a moment ago. But she couldn’t hide her surprised expression after hearing the message.

It wasn’t strange. In a situation where explosions and screams were rampant, and tension was gripping the whole body, thinking could only narrow.

Unlike him, who could observe the entire battlefield based on unwavering and solid faith.

[Hurry, Lia.]

– Yes, Your Majesty.

Moreover, until just before this battle, battlefield dominance was only a channel for one-way communication, but now he could even hear Lia’s reply, who was already far away.

God of War, Aura Master.

He felt like he had gotten closer to the meaning of that epithet. Enough that the Emperor, who was now right in front of him, wasn’t as scary as he thought.

[Logan McLain!] My throne is yours by right! But you *refuse*! Prepare to be erased from existence!]

The Emperor’s voice boomed in everyone’s minds across the battlefield, a wave of pure power.

Perhaps because he had gotten close to the ramparts, its intensity was on a different level from the cry at the start of the battle.

Was it the influence of a special magic, or the peculiarity of a great mage who had reached the realm of a god, even if only halfway?

It gave tremendous pressure to everyone, regardless of friend or foe, who were continuing their desperate fight.

“Ugh!”

“Krrr.”

“Aaaargh!”

The madness of the battlefield was overwhelmed in an instant, and the bodies that had been moving busily froze.

[I will take care of the Emperor. Deal with the remaining Imperial army!]

However, that was not the case for the McLain army, which was protected by Logan’s telepathy.

Rather, it only intimidated the Imperial knights who had managed to climb onto the ramparts.

In the end, the Emperor’s angry cry resulted in further weakening the already unfavorable Imperial army.

“Aaaaargh!”

“Y-Your Majesty!”

“Oh no!”

The knights, who had been trying to unleash their last bit of strength, believing in the approaching Emperor, collapsed in an instant.

But the Emperor, spewing streaks of blue magic, seemed to have forgotten the mental余裕 to look around, his dark eyes fixed only on Logan.

[The sin of rejecting the rightful ruler of mankind. Burn and disappear, even your soul!]

Then, the blue flames erupted. They weren’t just flames; they were a wave of searing blue light, crackling with power, and they rushed towards Logan like a hungry beast.

Fortunately, as he had thought, it wasn’t the 9th class great magic he had repeatedly shown before.

But its range and power were by no means to be taken lightly.

‘8th class.’

It was too much for him to handle, as he had not yet recovered even 30% of his original power.

The moment Logan bit his lip.

– Kroooooh!

A crimson ray shot from the side, accompanied by an ear-splitting beast’s roar, and struck the blue flames.

‘Tir.’

Of course, the blue flames only had their range slightly reduced, but their power and speed were not slowed down.

[How dare a beast!]

It was enough to distract the Emperor, who was mentally cornered.

And at that moment, a huge divine barrier unfolded in front of Logan.

‘Harman!’

The barrier, created with holy power strengthened more than usual by borrowing the power of Licentia, covered a corner of the ramparts.

Kwaaaaang!

The wave of blue flames, pouring down as if to devour everything, burst out in repulsion with the divine power.

“Aaaaargh!”

“S-Save me!”

The people who were swept away by the shockwave were in a better situation.

Anyone who was even slightly touched by the fragments of the flames that flew out…….

“What is this……?”

Whoosh.

“Kuh……!”

They turned into a handful of ashes and disappeared without even letting out a proper scream.

The screams, rather, came from the mouths of their comrades next to them.

“Aaaaargh!”

“A, a demon!”

“It’s the demon’s flame!”

Even in that situation, the magic power heading towards Logan, the center of the magic, was still firm.

[Where do you think you’re going, you temple vermin!!]

A red-haired figure intervened in front of the Emperor, who was spewing out shouts of anger.

A back view and energy that were all too familiar.

‘No!’

Logan felt like his thoughts were cut off for a moment.

Even with Eileen’s special abilities, she can’t overcome the authority contained in those flames. The gap is too great for her current level to face the Emperor.

Even if it’s only the remaining power of a broken magic spell.

‘I have to do it.’

The moment Logan instinctively drew his sword.

– You’re tired, aren’t you? Don’t waste your strength. I’ll somehow block this.

A clear will was conveyed from Eileen’s blue eyes as she briefly looked back at her husband.

Logan, who hesitated for a moment, eventually decided to trust his wife after a brief moment of contemplation.

A dazzling golden light began to form at the tip of his sword, and a female knight wrapped in red aura, burning like flames, stood in front of the blue flames.

Kwaaaang!

Whoosh.

“Now!!”

As a signal for Eileen’s scream, engulfed in blue flames, a golden radiance brilliantly illuminated the surroundings.

The 9th Form of the Divine Sword Secret Technique, Light Severing (Radiant Spirit Slash).

A power that cannot be avoided or blocked, as long as it is visible to Logan’s eyes.

The authority to reverse causality headed towards the Emperor, towards the mage whose magic had been blocked.
