This was a matter of the laws of the world and had nothing to do with the state or level of magic. Water and fire are clearly opposites, but it is the same way that freezing fire does not turn it into water.
However, this man named Stevan in front of me is clearly embodying the Blade Auror by borrowing the power of that black armor.
“Die, Reppenhardt!”
Stephen adjusted his sword and attacked again. Reppenhardt soon came to his senses and returned to battle.
The black aura and the golden aura clashed again and again in the air dozens of times. Every time, the roof flies off and the building shakes. Citizens living nearby abandoned their homes in fear and began to run away.
“Ahh!”
“It’s a monster!”
“Save people!”
As the place got busier, Stephen got irritated.
“ah! “What’s so loud?”
And then he suddenly swung his jet-black sword towards the street. Dozens of jet-black Auror blades flew towards the fleeing citizens with a booming sound. Reppenhardt, who was dealing with Stephen, was startled and stretched out his fists alternately towards the street.
“this! “A series of surprise bombs!”
Dozens of golden Auror bullets were shot through the air and chased after the Auror’s blade. Only after intercepting all the black blades with surprise bombs did Reppenhardt breathe a sigh of relief. And he was astonished and shouted at Stephen.
“What are you doing, Stephen? Weren’t you a knight? Wouldn’t it be against chivalry to take the life of an innocent person?”
But Stephen didn’t seem to care at all. Instead, he smiled sheepishly, looked around, and even asked a question with crazy eyes.
“huh? What kind of person? “Where are the people here?”
Shrugging his shoulders, Stephen opened his mouth. The rim of his mouth is torn long from side to side, and he giggles with an expression that is too sinister to be considered a smile.
“There’s no one, right? huh? It’s just you and me here! Isn’t it! King Repenhardt! “Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!”
“… … Even if I’m really crazy, I’m really crazy… … .”
Stephen threw himself away again. The black blade auror flew in frantically again. Reppenhardt also defended himself by wrapping his arms around the spiral guard.
As the attack continued to be blocked, Stevan’s expression darkened.
“madam! Why isn’t it getting cut! huh?”
Suddenly, Stephen jumped back and opened the distance. Then he raised his jet-black sword high above his head and began to scream.
“Aaaah!”
Black auras gather at the tip of the sword, gradually increasing its destructive power. Reppenhardt’s eyes lit up.
‘Hoo?’
As expected, it seemed like a crazy person could not be helped. In this situation, you can’t believe that the loopholes are so clearly revealed.
Leffenhardt lightly moved his feet and rushed forward.
‘It’s your chance!’
He slides across the roof in a low posture and naturally digs under Stephen’s chin. Thanks to his arms already being raised, Stephen’s chest is very clearly exposed. Of course, even if that were the case, it was still firmly blocked by that thick black armor, the Berserker Armor… … .
“Hmph!”
Repenhardt let out a brief burst of energy as he brought his fist to Stephen’s chest. At the same time, his entire body rotates and the rotational force is transferred to his fist, turning it into an intense penetrating force that pierces everything!
“Zero impact!”
A faint explosion erupted from Stephen’s armor.
Leppenhardt put his fists together and smiled in remorse. He could clearly feel his opponent’s whole body trembling through their clashing fists.
“Jim Unbreakable has quite a few techniques that attack through armor, right?”
Grumbling… … .
Red blood flowed from between the helmets. Stephen’s eyes, visible through the gap in his helmet, are bloodshot and glow red. Reppenhardt lifted his fist. This is the end of the game… … .
“Kick kill…” … .”
At that time, a giggling sound escaped through the helmet. Repenhardt’s complexion changed completely. Stevan was looking down with his red eyes rolling.
“It doesn’t hurt… … It doesn’t hurt… … .”
Immediately, the jet-black sword struck down at the top of Reppenhardt’s head.
Whoops!
A black thunderbolt tore through the air. Shock waves spread out circularly through the atmosphere. Black ripples spread out and crash into surrounding houses, causing explosions.
Rumbling!
Eventually, the three-story building they were living in collapsed. Dust rose and debris flew and fell on the road. From the rubble, Stephen slowly walked out, dripping with black blood.
“You avoided it, Leffenhardt… … I avoided it… … “Cluck, click, click.”
Bloodshot, blood-red eyes stare at some of the collapsed rubble. The pile of debris shook, and soon a large man, accompanied by dust, cleared away the debris and stood up.
“It was close… … .”
Reppenhardt stuck out his tongue as he dusted off his body. He was truly breathtaking.
‘I instinctively felt a sense of danger and pulled myself out, which was a shame.’
Stevan looked at Reppenhardt and sarcastically said.
“I avoided it, Jim. They said there was no avoidance in Unbreakable, so I avoided it… … Are you embarrassed? Yeah, it would be embarrassing… … King Kwon!”
It seemed like his mind was still going back and forth, as he started off sarcastically and ended up yelling. Reppenhardt burst into laughter for a moment. Well, if he were a pure successor to Jim Unbreakable, he would have been embarrassed.
‘Thank goodness. Seeing as how I’m not embarrassed, it seems like I’m still a little less colored, me too.’
Anyway, it’s a shame that I managed to dodge it. If it had been hit properly, it was such a powerful blow that I don’t even know what would have happened to Jim Unbreakable’s body.
Feeling relieved, Reppenhardt looked at Stephen closely. Thanks to getting up close to him, I finally got a feel for how to use that black barding.
“Darkness drain, dark transformation, and forced abyss awakening… … .”
It was all high-level black magic. And when it comes to magic, Reppenhardt is more knowledgeable than anyone else on the continent.
“I was wondering what they were going to do… … .”
Repenhardt muttered with cold criticism.
“That crazy guy, he was forcing himself to burn his own life and turn him into an Auror.”
☆ ☆ ☆
The concept of transformation magic, which changes the caster’s life into an auror, is actually not a very unique idea.
Aurors are life.
And black magic mainly uses evil techniques to misdirect the energy of life.
Of course, for a high-ranking warlock, there is not a single one who has not attempted to transform the caster’s life into an auror using black magic.
Even the name was clearly called Berserker Armor, wasn’t it? It’s a name that anyone, even an outsider, can easily guess, ‘That must be something that cuts off my life and makes me go on a rampage.’

Nevertheless, there was a reason that Leffenhardt did not realize.
‘… … Who made useless barding like that?’
Using black magic, life is forcibly drawn out and transformed into auras.
If you just listen to the theory, it might seem like it would be really useful. The power of an Auror user is truly enormous, so if it were possible to create an artificial Auror user through magic, it would be a tremendous power.
Nevertheless, the reason why Repenhardt and other wizards did not study that type of magic was simple.
‘It’s incredibly inefficient, that thing.’
No matter how much world-class black magic is used to create barding, not all owners of the armor can manifest auras. Since it was a method of forcibly drawing out vital energy in the first place, there was a lot of wasted energy in the middle. As a result, even ordinary humans, or even those who are quite trained, will have their vitality depleted before they can draw out their aura.
To put it simply, this method only works if you are a strong warrior with energy that is superior to others.
‘And the destination for a powerful warrior with superior energy is the Auror user.’
In other words, this method is nothing more than making someone who will become an Auror user manifest their Aura early through expedient means.
So, it was a method that was lost in the past even among warlocks. It’s a technique that kills someone who would otherwise become an Auror user just a few times if left alone, but who would want to use it?
Reppenhardt asked Stephen softly.
“Do you know? “The more you use that barding, the shorter your lifespan is?”
Stephen replied with a grin.
“Kkekekeke, what’s important about lifespan?”
From what I’ve said, it seems like I’m well aware of the side effects. Well, even without anyone teaching you, you will be able to feel your vitality increasing, so there is no way you won’t notice.
Leppenhardt shouted, looking at Stephen.
“You idiot! “If you just trained steadily for 10 more years, you could have become an Auror user anyway!”
“But Stephen didn’t seem to care at all.
“I will continue my life like an insect in humiliation, so that I can regain my honor like a knight and die in victory!”
“No, what kind of honor is there in winning a knight’s title with the power of a magic tool?”
The way he speaks as if he is very proud just leaves me speechless. Leffenhardt shook his head.
‘You’re like a fool who throws his life away because he can’t overcome his stubbornness.’
There are seeds like that sometimes in the world.
People who set meaningless goals and pursue them until they end up losing their focus and not even realizing what they are doing. People who are so focused on only one thing that they are unable to see their surroundings at all.
Self-proclaimed heroes who I have met countless times in my past life!
Leffenhardt smiled a murderous smile.
“Yes, if your life isn’t so precious, it wouldn’t be unfair if I took that cheap life.”
Stephen rushed back, his eyes flashing with madness.
“Noisy! shut up! Just die! “Die, Leffenhardt!”
The jet-black sword flew towards Reppenhardt without any hesitation. Even though several of his internal organs must have been twisted by the previous blow, his movements did not slow down at all. It means that the body is already half dead.
Leppenhardt sneered as he raised both hands.
“no use.”
Stepping back, Reppenhardt took the attack step by step with both forearms wrapped in a spiral guard.
Stevan’s auror, who even disregarded his own life, was clearly powerful. Every time I block a blow, my forearm goes numb. but… … .
“This kind of Aura expression has no meaning at all.”
Clearly, Stevan’s movements and destructive power far surpass those of most Auror users. And its power has not waned at all even now.
However, unlike before, Reppenhardt was easily receiving all of Stephen’s attacks.
Stephen’s expression began to become more and more wrinkled.
“What, what? Why suddenly none of my attacks work?”
It wasn’t that Leppenhardt’s skills had improved from before. However, all attacks are blocked midway. As if predicting the future!
A faint smile appeared on Reppenhardt’s lips.
‘No matter how much an auror he is, if he is manifested through magic, he cannot be free from the flow of magical power.’
Unlike before, Reppenhardt was focusing his senses not on Stevan, but on the Berserker armor he was wearing.
The opponent’s auror certainly seems unpredictable, but its basis is the magic conversion of Berserker Armor, so there is no need to worry about the auror. Just by understanding the flow of magic power of the Berserker Armor, you can naturally infer the movement of the Auror.
The attacks gradually miss. Stephen’s forehead became more and more bloodshot.
Stevan swung his jet-black sword even more violently.
“Ugh! Lee Iik!”
Of course, none of the attacks worked. Once the operating principle is figured out, Stevan’s Black Auror is no longer a match for Reppenhardt.
“Even if you throw away your life, the power you gain through expedient means is only this much.”
With a soft word, Reppenhardt’s front kick hit Stephen’s chest exactly.
“Gastrigen!”
Unlike before, the blow was struck when I couldn’t find the right moment to defend myself amidst the flow of Aurors. Red blood flowed from Stephen’s eyes and ears.
Still, Stephen did not collapse. He sticks out his hollow chest and screams again and again.
“OMG! OMG! “Ugh!”
Even though there was no auror defense, the armor itself was so strong that it held up.
