The two trembled without even realizing it. They weren’t the only ones who felt this strange sensation. All the soldiers on the wall were looking blankly to one side, just like themselves.
The edge of the forest adjacent to the castle gate, the moment Kaltan looked at it, he let out a dazed groan.
“ah?”
A man was walking out of the woods. A swarm of golden light shimmered over his brown hair, bulky physique, and wide shoulders. The light was so intense that, if it weren’t for the golden light, he would have thought the man’s body was on fire.
Drain stuttered and muttered.
“no way… … “Is that an Auror?”
He is an Auror who I have only heard about! All the soldiers on the wall froze at that moment. I was able to realize the identity of the strange sensation.
It was daunting.
A man walks towards the castle, emitting golden aura. A very proud appearance. Among the frozen soldiers, one particularly brave one managed to overcome his intimidation and shouted at the man.
“Who are you!” “Reveal your identity!”
The man raised his head and looked up at the soldier. And he grinned.
“That’s amazing. “I intentionally used too much energy.”
The man slightly bent his knees. Even then, the soldiers on the castle could not react. If you’re trained, you should raise your bow and aim at your opponent, but you just stare, like a frog encountering a snake. I couldn’t even think of looking away.
In that state, the man muttered softly.
“Calamity Horn… … .”
It was clearly a soft voice, but how could it be heard so clearly? Drain inadvertently dropped the spear in his hand.
bang… … .
The spear fell to the ground, making a clanking sound, and the man threw himself with a roar.
“Haaaab!”
The golden aura waves and splits the air. The steel-like body turns into a gigantic spear and charges. A strong fist stretches forward, tearing through space and drawing out countless ripples of light.
The man’s regime tore down the thick gates of Kelbern Castle.
Quaaaang!
There was a loud noise, and the thick castle gate shattered with a single blow. Countless fragments fly into the air. That wasn’t the end. Four dazzling golden ripples converged into one point and pulled in all the surrounding air. A terrible shock wave scratched the ground, shaking under my feet as if an earthquake had occurred. The castle wall, which was built solidly with the skill of the dwarves and was supposed to not collapse even after a thousand years, is cracking.
There was a moment of silence, followed by a thunderclap and the castle wall collapsed.
Rumbling!
The experience of feeling your feet shaking even though they were fine is never easy to do. Only then did the soldiers sit down and start screaming.
“Aaaah!”
☆ ☆ ☆
A thick cloud of dust rises. A huge amount of dust was spreading everywhere, as if part of Kelbern Castle had turned into clouds. Well, it was a natural result since an entire section of the castle wall was collapsed.
Leppenhardt smiled bitterly as he walked up the remains of the collapsed castle wall.
‘Oh my, was that a bit harsh?’
Still, no one seemed to be seriously injured. Although he may have seemed extremely ignorant, Leppenhardt was clearly targeting the area where the guards were not standing and fired Calamity’s horn.
I have already opened my senses and checked. There were certainly no soldiers trapped under the rubble of the collapsed castle wall. Most of the soldiers were just sitting on the shaking castle walls, terrified. There were a few soldiers who fell down the castle wall and broke their legs, but if they get some medical care, they will get better quickly.
‘If this is the case, I’ll probably be dazed for a while.’
With this, it would be safe to say that the soldiers within the Viscounty of Kelbern were dealt with. Everyone is so mad that they won’t even dare to move for a while.
Originally, the method of destroying the morale of the soldiers by blowing down the entire castle wall was something that Reppenhardt loved to do even in his past life.
A castle wall is different from an ordinary building. It is a building that has a very strong perception that it will never collapse, like a mountain or cliff. It would be difficult for a person with normal senses to remain sane when such a castle wall blows away before their eyes. Even if there is no damage to oneself, one is usually left in a daze when such large-scale destruction occurs right in front of one’s eyes.
Leaving behind the helpless soldiers, Reppenhardt walked toward Kelbern Castle. Dozens of armed knights were seen coming out of the inner corridor. It was the Knights of Tenness. Afterwards, a group of people wearing robes and men in robes came rushing out. They were the magicians who had made a contract with the Tenes family, the goddess of the sky, and the priests of Areas.
The knights surrounded Leffenhardt with skillful movements. Wizards and clerics also took their positions to provide support. As soon as the ranks were formed, one of the knights shouted at Reppenhardt.
“You shameless villain! “You’ve made your appearance again!”
Although he was masked last night, it was not difficult to recognize Reppenhardt. Although he is not an unprecedentedly large player on the continent like Gerrard, Leffenhardt also possesses a physique that is rarely seen. All the knights had no doubt that this man was the thief from last night. Of course, Reppenhardt had no intention of denying it either.
Leppenhardt opened his mouth, looking around.
“I heard that my colleagues are here?”
It was a relaxed voice. The knight, Rento, shouted in anger.
“How dare you disrespect the Knights of Tenness!”
The thief from last night didn’t look nervous at all even though he was surrounded by the Tenness Knights. Moreover, there was no sign of any hurry when he came to rescue his comrade. You’re blatantly throwing down a castle wall and leisurely walking along it?
‘How much do you look down on the Knights of Tenness to show such an attitude?’
A wave of anger spread among the knights. Of course, I know that the other person has Auror abilities. It is true that I was honestly astonished by the sheer majesty of collapsing the castle wall. But the Knights of Tenness are not so insignificant that they are ignored like this!
Vice-captain Sir Lot shouted as he drew his sword.
“Knights of Tenness! “Show that arrogant man your power!”
The knights all drew their swords. With a disciplined attitude, all of the knights move in unison as if they were one living creature. Wizards and priests also take their positions and guard their backs without leaving any space. Sir Lot continued to shout in a confident voice.
“It won’t be like last night!”
Reppenhardt nodded his head absentmindedly.
“It’s definitely different from last night.”
Since they invaded yesterday secretly, it cannot be said that the Knights of Tenness responded properly. Everyone was relaxed as all they had to do was return after completing the difficult exploration of the ruins, and they had also had a fight with a demon that suddenly appeared in the castle. No one could have thought that something would happen again, so it felt like they faced Repenhardt without proper equipment.
In comparison, the current Tenness Knights were alert, focused, and able to exert 100% of their power. It is completely understandable that Lord Lott is so confident.
But the situation is different as well. Leppenhardt smiled bitterly as he took a stance.
“… … “I’ll be a little different from last night, too.”
“Rento! Baras! scram!”
“yes! Vice-captain!”
Following Lord Lott’s orders, two knights charged at Leffenhardt with their shields in front. The unique shield charging of a heavily armored knight who hides his sword behind his shield and pushes forward. If the opponent were an ordinary warrior, this alone would have been effective enough.
But it didn’t work for Leffenhardt. Leppenhardt lowered his posture while standing still. And then he repeatedly threw heavy weapons at the approaching shield. As if they knew this would happen, both knights raised their shields to block the way.
Quack!
A loud bang sounded twice. The two knights’ new models flew into the air. A scream erupted.
“Gagging!”
“Ugh!”
It was different from yesterday. I expected that blocking it with a shield would be useless. I was also prepared that my shield would be blown away. So, as soon as they were both blown away, they rolled on the ground and prepared to get up again. Originally, when fighting demons while exploring ruins, something like this was not uncommon.
But something was different this time. The shield is crushed and an intense shock wave travels through the entire body. My internal organs are twisted and I feel extreme pain, as if I had been hit with my bare body.

“Cough!”
Rento and Baras flew away and rolled around on the ground, coughing up blood. Even though he was blocked by a single blow with a shield, his entire body was so shocked that he could not move.
Sir Lot looked at Reppenhardt in confusion at the unexpected development.
‘What on earth have you done?’
Reppenhardt withdrew his fist and smiled bitterly.
“I tried this tactic once yesterday, but I’d be a real fool if I tried it again.”
Originally, Jim Unbreakable’s strike basically carries a wave of aura with all attacks. Then, even if you defend yourself, the impact will penetrate the opponent’s body, rendering the armor useless. I wasn’t able to use it until last night because I had to hide my aura, but now I can use it without any pressure.
“Ugh! Selfied! Rakan! Ernesto!”
Sir Lot sent the knights charging again. Leaving behind the two fallen knights, three other knights launched a follow-up attack.
“How dare you Rento!”
“You villain!”
“die!”
Letting out a heartless cry, the knights all aimed their swords at Reppenhardt’s left, right, and rear. This time, Reppenhardt swung both his hands and blocked the attacks all at once. He blocks the attack and at the same time stabs his knights with an aura-laden kick. A well-placed side kick sent the knights rolling again.
“Ugh!”
“Gagging!”
“Ah-gu-gu-gu!”
This time, all three knights screamed and fell down. Not everyone allowed the attack without any hesitation. As usual, when the situation became unavoidable, he cleverly turned his body and took the blow with the thick part of his armor. However, the shock wave caused by the subsequent auror wave cannot be blocked by armor.
“Oh my… … .”
Lord Lott was perplexed. It was an unexpected situation. The unique tactics of the Knights of Tenness, which involves protecting one’s body with armor and pressuring the opponent, do not work at all.
But the panic didn’t last long. The Knights of Tenness have fought numerous demons. They are not weak enough to back down like this!
Lord Lott, who quickly regained his composure, raised his right hand.
“Priests! God bless their bodies, not their armor!”
The priests channeled their divine power and showered blessings on the knights. A sacred spell that did not strengthen the armor but rather increased the body’s defense itself rang out loud.
“Aerius! Give your servant your protection and make his body stand firm like a rock!”
The knights, who had strengthened their bodies to the limit, attacked all at once. Afterwards, the wizards in the back row began to chant spells all at once.
“The blade of the frozen ground, come before me! Ice Bolt!”
“The heat wave will come into my hands and become a demonstration against the enemy! Frame Arrow!
“La Filtre Krell Azor, the storm of war, blow! Lightning Storm!”
In between the knights’ attacks, all kinds of magic flew in like a storm. If it’s just the knights’ attacks, I’ll just endure it, but with magic flying in between them, it’s very difficult to get the timing right. Refenhardt dodged the swinging blades and sometimes bounced them off, looking at the wizards standing in the distance.
‘I guess I’ll have to deal with the wizards first.’
At that moment, Reppenhardt stamped his foot and launched himself into the air. A large figure with a height of 190 centimeters immediately passes over the heads of the knights and rushes in front of the wizards. The embarrassed wizards took a step back and chanted spells one after another.
“Ugh! La Tilt del… … .”
“Wind of the frozen land… … .”
He makes a hand sign and quickly moves among the wizards who are just preparing their spells. Reppenhardt stretched out his fists in all directions.
“Series of surprise bombs!”
Golden aurors flew one after another and struck the wizards’ legs accurately. The spell was completely broken, and the wizards all clutched their legs and let out screams. The bomb fired by Reppenhardt completely shattered their legs.
“Agogogo!”
“My legs!”
“Such a vicious bastard!”
Repenhardt smiled at the sight of the wizards rolling around on the dirt floor, saying they were going to die in pain.
‘A wizard of this level is like this, right?’
Since he was a wizard in his previous life, he knew well how to neutralize wizards. Even he, who was a great mage, lost concentration when he was injured in the past, and the magic he could use was extremely limited. However, there is no way that ordinary wizards like these could still recite spells even with a broken leg.
‘Still, I thought one or two people would show grit… … .’
With a slightly disappointed face, Reppenhardt looked at the fallen wizards. All he could do was moan, and no one could recite a spell to overcome the pain. He was once a great mage, but in his eyes, they are all pathetic.
‘Tsk tsk, what kind of magical path can you walk down with that kind of mentality…? … .’
I wonder if this is how a senior feels when he looks at his pathetic younger students.
‘No, these are my seniors, come to think of it.’
With a bitter smile, Reppenhardt turned around. I saw knights running in anger.
“Wizard Fallen!”
“Gelt! Pearn! Damn it, everyone’s down!”
Everyone was gritting their teeth. Now, their enemy instantly jumped over a distance of over 20 meters and knocked down all the wizards without even having a chance to do anything. Losing magic power so helplessly was a shame never before seen in the history of the Knights of Tenness. Everyone was full of anger and was running like an angry bison.
‘Okay, then next time…’ … .’
But Leffenhardt paid no attention to their anger. His next target is those wearing blue robes seen behind the knights.
‘Should we deal with the priests too…? … .’
Reppenhardt threw himself again. Once again, his new model rides over the heads of the knights. All of the knights gritted their teeth, desperately feeling like a dog chasing a chicken.
“shit!”
