Chapter 192 : Chapter 192
While Roden was busy checking Malena's condition and Yusupa's appearance.Lucien shouted from beyond the gate.
“Come through the gate quickly! However, it is impossible for everyone to cross the gate!”
In any case, it was meaningless for the entire 3rd Corps to cross over.
Because most of the personnel would find it hard to withstand a single magic attack from Yusupa.
So, those who urgently crossed Lucien's gate were Roden, Alexis, Guignol, Michael, and Chevalier.
And Paul, Leon, and Albrecht had already arrived at the 1st Corps front.
It seemed they had come through Lucien's gate before Roden.
Especially Albrecht was continuously blocking Yusupa's magic blades.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Because of that, Yusupa could not interfere with Lucien maintaining the gate.
“Tsk. A swarm of annoying flies has gathered in one place.”
Yusupa, who eventually failed to close the gate because he was blocked by Albrecht, muttered.
However, unlike his words, he did not look disappointed at all.
Rather, he looked as if he had not lost his composure even though two 9-star knights and one 9th-circle mage appeared.
Sure enough, as soon as Yusupa waved his hand once, the ground suddenly cracked and tremendous flames soared up.
Crack-crack-crack-crack! Whoosh!
The flames were so powerful that it was impossible to block them without unfolding a sword curtain.
Even though the sword curtain was unfolded, the shock felt was beyond imagination.
Kaboooom!
Roden shouted while checking the appearance of Malena, who struggled to block Yusupa's attack with her only remaining arm.
“Everyone, please step back! The Family Head, the Master of the Mage Tower, and I will handle this place!”
The other people also realized at once.
That they would not be of much help.
For that reason, everyone obediently followed Roden's words.
“Where!”
Of course, Yusupa did not leave this be and fired dozens of spears made of electricity.
However, as if he had been waiting, Roden shot out a Sword Blast and exploded all these spears.
Piiiiiing! Kaboooooom!
It was a Sword Blast containing small but tremendous power.
It was a part where one could know how perfectly Roden controlled aura.
For that reason, Yusupa's gaze naturally turned toward Roden.
“…Still, it seems you didn't seek me out without any preparation.”
When Yusupa was slightly surprised like this.
Lucien, who was a little exhausted from opening the gate twice in a row, caught his breath and stepped forward.
“You wicked ghost of the past! Are you not ashamed to dabble in black magic!”
At those words, Yusupa slowly turned his head toward Lucien.
Then asked.
“Why should I be ashamed?”
“…What?”
“Rather, I am an existence who deserves to be praised. Not only did I reach the level of the 10th-circle for the first time in human history, but I also succeeded in achieving resurrection and eternal life, which were long-standing problems for humanity. Is that not so?”
Lucien was visibly flustered upon hearing Yusupa's shameless answer.
It seemed he had never thought he would come out this way.
However, Roden was not surprised in the slightest.
Because he had already figured out what kind of person Yusupa was.
Rather, in a situation like now, Lucien's behavior was too naive.
“Stop making noise and just get ready to fight, Master of the Mage Tower.”
It was for this reason that Albrecht pressed Lucien like this as if he was annoyed.
Certainly, it was better to enter combat even a little faster now.
Because there was a high possibility that Yusupa would recover his strength as time passed.
“Stupid fools. Did you think I would fall for it even knowing your strategy….”
Slash!
Albrecht used the Dark Extreme Formation without listening to Yusupa's story to the end.
It was an attack aiming for Yusupa's carelessness.
However,
Thud!
The Dark Extreme Formation was blocked too easily by defensive magic.
Albrecht frowned slightly as his decisive attack failed to take effect.
On the other hand, Yusupa opened his mouth with a clear smile.
“You should have listened to the end of my story that I wouldn't fall for it even knowing it.”
“…….”
Albrecht kept silent for a moment after hearing those words, as if his pride was hurt.
Then,
Swish!
Suddenly, Albrecht's figure disappeared.
After that, Albrecht began to pressure Yusupa with tremendous speed that the eyes could not follow.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Yusupa blocked Albrecht's attacks with defensive magic with a stiff expression.
It was a pattern where if Albrecht tore apart the defensive magic with various secret techniques, Yusupa would unfold defensive magic again.
“…He hasn't recovered all his strength.”
A situation where Yusupa seemed cornered.
Lucien, who was watching this situation, muttered.
And as if gaining courage from this, Lucien also hurriedly unfolded magic.
As a result, Yusupa had to cast defensive magic with both hands.
It was natural since Albrecht's secret techniques and Lucien's magic poured down with a time difference.
“…….”
Roden also watched this silently before launching an attack.
However, in Roden's case, he did not fight like Albrecht or Lucien.
Instead of using the most powerful secret techniques or magic he could use, he unfolded secret techniques that were lower in power but capable of continuous attacks, as if dealing with multiple enemies.
Because of that, Yusupa's hands had no choice but to be even busier.
He even suffered a slight injury because of this.
“…You bastards!”
Eventually, Yusupa could not endure it and attempted a counterattack.
Kaboom!
The defensive magic that should have been torn and disappeared by the secret techniques or magic suddenly caused an explosion.
Albrecht, who was carrying out a close-range attack, had no choice but to unfold a sword curtain and retreat at the unexpected attack.
And Yusupa did not miss this opportunity and reached out his hand toward Lucien.
However,
Slash!
Yusupa's extended hand was cut off by an unexpected attack.
It was because Roden used the Afterimage Sword as if he predicted Yusupa's action.
Yusupa, who suddenly lost one hand like that, screamed.
“Aaaaargh! Arrogant bastards!”
It was an opportunity.
Because dealing with an enemy who lost their reason was originally the easiest and simplest way.
Albrecht and Lucien also knew this well, so they moved without missing the opportunity.
Especially Albrecht's movement was one step faster.
However,
“No!”
Roden shouted like this unexpectedly.
Because the voice was so urgent, Albrecht and Lucien flinched slightly, and that saved the two.
Because Yusupa's hand, which was falling to the ground by Roden's attack, twitched and moved, then caused a tremendous explosion.
It was a method similar to when he exploded the defensive magic.
KABOOOOOOOM!
Thanks to Roden's shout, Albrecht and Lucien could react to this explosion.
Like that, Albrecht could use the sword curtain, and Lucien could use defensive magic without being late.
Yusupa watched that appearance, regenerated his cut hand, and wore a deep smile on his lips.
“What a pity. It was an opportunity to clean up bugs without using much strength. Now then, shall we stop the prank around here?”
At the same time Yusupa finished speaking, tremendous energy swirled.
Rumble rumble!
The energy was so powerful that Roden, Albrecht, and Lucien, who it was no exaggeration to call the strongest of humanity, felt tremendous pressure.
A feeling as if the laws of the world were twisted in an instant and space was screaming.
The cracked earth under Yusupa's toes rippling like waves and slowly spreading was the very proof.
And this change was enough to be conveyed even to the personnel who had retreated far from the battlefield.
“Ah.”
At this change, Lucien spat out a voice like a lament.
Because being able to unfold such powerful energy meant one fact he never wanted to believe.
Exactly that Yusupa had regained the power of the 10th-circle.
It was a desperate situation.
Because they had harbored the hope until just a moment ago that Yusupa had not regained his complete power, this situation felt even more desperate.
However, only one person, Albrecht, was not just falling into despair.
Unfolding the Dark Extreme Formation continuously by wielding his sword was the very proof.
However,
Ting! Ting! Ting!
Albrecht's attacks bounced off most powerlessly among the attacks so far.
Although he was clearly doing his best, it was all useless.
“!”
Still, they thought that if there were two 9-star knights and one 9th-circle mage, they could somehow deal with Yusupa.
Not only Roden thought this way, but everyone had stepped forward to subjugate Yusupa harboring this same hope.
But it was a misconception.
The level called the 10th-circle was beyond imagination.
As if trying to prove this fact, as soon as Yusupa waved his hand with a swish, Albrecht was drawn by an unknown force and floated into the air.
Then soon,
Thud!
He was slammed into the ground.
Albrecht, who fainted just like that, could not raise his body anymore.
“Kuhahahaha! You really are stupid! Really stupid! To try and win against an immortal existence in a head-to-head confrontation!”
Yusupa laughed with a loud voice as if intoxicated by the powerful strength.
Then this time he waved his hand toward Lucien.
Lucien quickly unfolded defensive magic, but it had little meaning.
Clang! Thud!
The powerful energy shattered the defensive magic at once and made Lucien into the same state as Albrecht.
Like that, a 9-star knight and a 9th-circle mage fell one after another without being able to use any strength.
And the meaning of this fact was one thing.
That the entire continent would fall into Yusupa's hands just like this.
It was natural since the only person left to oppose Yusupa was Roden.
“Kukuku! Now I must finish this!”
Yusupa laughed leisurely and turned his head toward Roden.
However,
“!”
Yusupa had no choice but to be surprised.
Because unexpectedly, Roden was looking at him with unwavering eyes even after watching all the situations so far.
Moreover, this wasn't all.
“Such a hideous appearance. It is fitting for one who betrayed an old friend and became strong, Yusupa.”
Surprisingly, Roden was digging up his past memories that no one knew.
Eventually, Yusupa could not endure it and asked Roden.
“Who are you?”
