Regressor of the Fallen Family Chapter 156

“Kill Him at Any Cost”

It was no longer about holding out.

Victory.

He had to kill the superhuman before him, the second strongest Aura user in the kingdom.

During the brief moment suspended in midair, Logan had conjured numerous plans in his head.

As someone who had heard a lot and visualized duels countless times in his imagination, he could estimate quickly, though almost all the outcomes were negative.

Focusing on the few scenarios with a somewhat positive probability, Logan landed firmly on the ground with a stern expression.

Only about 10 meters away from the Duke of Yordan.

‘At least he hasn’t called his men.’

Satisfied to have avoided the worst-case scenario for now, Logan surreptitiously checked the location of another important ‘target’.

Then…

“What senseless destruction you’ve brought. That absurd…”

At that moment, as the casual-looking Yordan began to speak, Logan charged forward.

Flash.

Swoosh.

As the golden Force Blade, serpentine and alive, bent towards Yordan’s throat, the superhuman’s eyes slightly contorted.

– Yordan? That guy? Hmm, you should know, having become a superhuman, he specialized in the attribute of fire. His swordsmanship is quite good too, and it seems he has strengthened his body in some unique way to rival physical specialization. Of course, he doesn’t have any particular weaknesses.

The characteristics of Yordan Walsh mentioned by his master were indeed discouraging.

– And how am I stronger than him? Simple. I am much faster.

The essence of martial arts was the domination of space.

And such domination was governed by speed, not strength.

– I can hit him unilaterally, and he can’t hit me.

No matter the disparity in levels, if you can hit without getting hit, you can win.

And he had been…

‘I fought on equal terms with the wind-attributed Weaken Callian.’

Logan could cling to hope because of that fact.

But…

“Hmph. Pitiful tricks.”

With a soft snort, the red Aura Sword swung without leaving any room for the Snake Blade to retaliate, and it struck with force.

Boom!

“Ugh!”

Sliding back.

He thought he had grown stronger after continually facing the Storm Sword over the past few days, yet with one strike, he was helplessly pushed back.

More than the awesome power of the sword, it was its unexpected speed that struck with despair.

The entire episode was a far cry from his previous fight under Clayton’s magic; Yordan’s agility was easily on par with his, if not greater.

However, Logan did not despair.

‘Discard the first plan. Move on to the second.’

As he saw the blazing red Aura approaching, Logan twisted his body and thrust his sword to the side.

He aimed for both to receive a severe blow if a collision occurred.

The golden Force Blade, though momentarily knocked by the Aura, maintained its existence and targeted the enemy’s vitals.

Yordan’s great sword reacted first with a twitch of his eyebrows.

Fwooom!

“Utter madness, unbecoming of nobility.”

“Thank you for the compliment!”

As the repelled Logan spat out nonsense, he quickly closed the distance again.

That instant, Yordan, with flames of Aura burst forth from his body, shot forth at an even greater speed.

The distance vanished in a moment as they clashed.

Ignoring the great sword swung from the lower-left upwards across his whole body, Logan released a beam of golden light.

It was not a move to exchange friendly blows, but an all-out attack intending mutual destruction.

Yordan’s face hardened noticeably as he hesitated for a moment, his body sliding as if to circumvent Logan from the back.

But…

Swoosh.

Elegantly evading from behind, Yordan’s strike missed as Logan vanished like a ghost.

Crouching close, Logan’s golden light surged towards Yordan’s groin.

“How dare you!”

Boom!

In rage, Yordan’s explosive strike forced the charging Logan to slide back again.

“You lack the dignity of a noble…”

“I don’t, you old fossil!”

With banter filled with nonsense, Logan hoped to shake the enemy’s reason as he narrowed the gap once more.

He was met with a wall of scorching red Aura.

Yordan’s great sword had unleashed a wave of Aura wide enough to engulf Logan’s entire body.

In response, Logan’s counter was a gigantic golden guardian’s sword.

Bang!!

An attack spread too wide loses focus compared to a concentrated strike.

Regrettably for Logan, the result of the clash was not in his favor.

Though both staggered, Yordan stepped back only a few paces while Logan was pushed back tens of meters.

‘Cough!’

As Logan struggled to contain the turmoil within him, the less-damaged Yordan’s expression twisted further.

“Ha. You really are resisting Aura. Well, good. From now on, I’ll take you seriously. Stop fooling around and come at me with all you’ve got. Unless you want to die as you are.”

Logan’s lips curled up slightly.

The blow to his pride seemed significant already.

“Then as you command…!”

At the same time as he spoke, Logan charged at Yordan with lightning-fast speed.

Pulling all his Force together, he confronted his strongest enemy, relieving himself of all restraints.

“Ugh!”

Perhaps due to the previous collision, a significant amount of ‘sincerity’ was poured into Yordan, carrying more force than Logan had anticipated.

And this moved his opponent more fiercely than expected.

“You filthy rat…!”
