I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 124
#When I returned, my family was ruined (125)
Sera Lee.
She closed her eyes and concentrated. Among the five late-stage exponents, she was the only one who had reached the level of superhumanity, and instead of survival, she was given another ‘special’ mission.
“Since you are at the level of a superhuman, it would not be very meaningful to do survival training like other late-stage exponents. Instead, I will give you another mission.”
“If it’s a mission…”
“Use your senses to find me.”
Before leaving.
She clearly remembered what the duke had said.
It’s already been ten days since we left the starting point.
Despite wandering around all day and concentrating on his energy, the duke did not seem to be in the slightest, as if he were a ghost.
Considering that other review indices were found more than ten times during that time, it was inevitable that they would be compared.
‘Where on earth are you?’
In order to hide one’s presence, excellent mana control was required. Conversely, the same was true for finding those who were hiding their presence.
The mission given by the duke was to sharpen one’s own spirit.
‘…I miss you.’
Cold eyes and a cool voice.
I haven’t seen him for ten days already. This was the first time I encountered a situation like this since I came to the academy.
Before coming here to train, you could meet the duke whenever you wanted.
That’s why I packed my lunch and ran with it every morning.
After hanging out like that all day, she was already addicted to the Duke. The more I continue to be ‘neglected’ like this, the stronger the withdrawal symptoms rise.
‘miss you. miss you. I miss you…’
Only this phrase was playing in Isera’s head.
Did you say that when a person is desperate, his/her skills improve rapidly?
That also applies to superhumans.
In the process of exploring the operation with her eyes lit up all day long, Ysera’s mana control and aura were increasing day by day.
Is it because of that?
As she diligently walked around the mountain range, I felt a very faint ray of energy.
‘oh my god! found!’
When I first arrived at the mountain range, it was an energy that I would not have felt even if I had maxed out my concentration.
But it was different now.
Her exploration ability had already greatly increased through desperation.
Ysera searched for the source of the energy with her eyes shining.
Soon I was able to make eye contact with the peacock sitting on a large tree.
“ball…!”
[Shh.]
“…?”
[Come this way.]
Nod!
It was the moment when she nodded vigorously and moved her mana. The new model soared into the air and naturally sat down on a tree branch.
The place where she sat was right next to the duke.
‘Good scent…’
The Duke could sense a scent similar to the cool scent of mint. Her eyes became blurry for a moment.
The gaze naturally turned to where the duke was looking. Immediately, Ysera’s eyes narrowed.
‘…Dorothy?’
The person the Duke was currently observing was Dorothy.
Basic base.
The corpses of numerous monsters were piled up around the base, as if they were still there. Among those corpses, Dorothy is now.
―Kuuuurrr!
They were engaged in a bloody fight with an ogre that was letting out a huge roar.
For a moment, jealousy boiled over at the fact that the duke was looking at her. A ray of worry rose in Ysera’s heart.
[…Is that kid okay?]
Ogre.
It was a high-ranking monster that inhabited the Great Mountains and was infamous not only for its enormous power but also for its cunning resourcefulness. There was even a saying that you had to be an 8-star knight to deal with a fully grown ogre.
But Dorothy.
As a knight, he only had skills close to 7 stars at best. It is difficult to deal with a fully grown adult ogre like that.
This was clearly revealed just by looking at the scene in front of me.
Dorothy is panting, covered in blood all over her body. Even the ogre was smiling slyly while looking at it.
It was clear where the balance of battle was tilted.
nevertheless.
There was not a single trace of agitation in the Duke’s eyes as he watched the scene.
[It’ll be okay.]
The Duke and Isera.
The two people began to look at Dorothy.
* * *
Boom!
The moment the ogre’s fist collided with the small fist, Dorothy’s new form flew far away.
Dorothy fell to the floor and coughed up blood from the corner of her mouth.
“…Kahahah!”
If my physical condition had been normal, no matter how much of an ogre my opponent was, I would not have been defeated so badly.
however.
Dorothy’s body was almost in half a mess even before she faced the ogre. Dorothy gritted her teeth quietly as her consciousness gradually faded.
Ogre.
That guy didn’t attack me when I was fine.
As soon as they saw the corpses of numerous monsters lying at the base, they started dragging monsters in from all directions.
It was only after being attacked by monsters for two days and nights that they began to attack in earnest.
Although his mana amount was incomparably higher than that of his peers, that did not mean his mana was infinite.
That was the reason why I started losing badly in the fight against the ogre. Due to lack of mana, I could not properly protect my body.
Every time she bumped her fist with the ogre, Dorothy’s body screamed. It was tantamount to revealing a fatal weakness to the cunning monster.
―KuuKuu….
When the ogre saw Dorothy, he lost his appetite and let out a laugh.
Although it was quite a formidable prey for a small human, the long herd hunt was now slowly coming to an end.
From trolls to yetis and all kinds of monsters.
There were so many corpses lying around. If we just put an end to that human, we will be able to eat plenty of food all winter long.
-thud.
-thud.
The ogre slowly began to approach the fallen girl.
The sound of slow yet loud footsteps, quite intentional.
And even the sound of laughter he makes when looking at his prey.
Small prey will be slowly eaten by fear.
By the time the hunt is over.
No prey has ever shown fear.
It was then.
The prey that had been writhing on the floor slowly began to rise up.
The ogre stared at the small human.
The moment we made eye contact.
The monster instinctively realized this.
Unlike before, there was no fear in the human’s eyes. It was just empty, as if the soul had just escaped.
The ogre’s steam cooled down.
The look in your eyes that gave up on life.
Because it was no fun to torment such prey.
The monster quickly stretched out its hand.
It was to end the boring hunt. Dorothy stared at that figure.
‘…Am I going to die?’
Not only did I fight for two days without rest, I also clashed with the ogre dozens of times.
I had no strength in my whole body.
Her eyes turned to the gauntlet.
Burr.
My hand was screaming incessantly, as if I was suffering from hydrocephalus.
Perhaps because of my dizzy head, the approaching monster’s hand seemed to be divided into several pieces.
“Hehe…”
The moment when faced with death.
What Dorothy was feeling wasn’t fear.
regret.
It was just endlessly disappointing.
If only I were a little faster.
If only it were a little stronger.
If I had just a little more mana…
if I had trained harder…
then wouldn’t I have been able to beat this ogre?
In the end, it was just a result of my own weakness.
‘Like a professor or dad…’
I should have moved like that.
Suddenly a memory came to mind.
“The strongest form of boxing is the one that contains the techniques of gentleness.”
“It’s like this.”
Duke Duke.
It was one of the martial arts techniques he demonstrated a long time ago.
‘Did you say it’s a flow-through wave…?’
Taishanquan.
It was a secret season of a known family that could only be learned afterward.
After the first demonstration, the Duke never again revealed his sovereignty.
But in her memories.
Memories of the past were vividly replaying.
Dorothy’s hands very naturally followed the demonstration in her memory.
Like flowing water.
‘softly.’
-Tap!
Even though it didn’t take much force, the ogre’s hand that was aimed at her was slapped away.
thud!
The hand that was trying to take a picture of Dorothy pressed down hard on the floor next to her.
―Kuo?
The ogre tilted his head.
When I stretched out my hand once again.
It was the same back then.
thud!
thud!
In a playful gesture, his hand was pointing in a completely different direction. For a moment, I was embarrassed by a situation that I could not understand.
The ogre’s face slowly distorted into a hideous sight.
―Kuuurrr!
I joke around once or twice.
Now I’m going to take a picture and press it right away!
The ogre hit his chest vigorously and extended his fist towards the front.
Whoa!
A huge fist filled with overwhelming power was stretched out towards Dorothy.
It was a punch that even a small human could not block or avoid.
finished.
The moment the ogre was certain.
Talk.
The trajectory of the fist was twisted along with a tickling sensation.
Even though I applied crazy strength to my arm, the direction of my fist did not return to its original direction. Soon the ogre opened its eyes.
This is because the person with a blank expression was suddenly running towards his chest.
Dorothy’s fingers were pressed together as if they were spear points. Mana flowing proudly between my fingers.
At first glance, the mana that flowed smoothly contained the power to pierce through anything.
That was the moment when she jumped up and stretched out her hand.
‘Ah…’
I felt it instinctively.
‘One inch….’
One inch of distance will not be enough.
Mana was no longer flowing from his half-broken body.
Outstretched hands and the heart of an ogre.
Just as Dorothy expected.
With only an inch of distance left, the body was slowly starting to sink. The ogre’s eyes cunningly drew an arc at that sight.
A ray of breeze blew from somewhere and enveloped her body.
Soon, the short distance began to quickly narrow.
Without even having any doubts.
[Ryu Soo Kwon (流水拳) Chapter 2]
[Gwan Soo (貫手)]
Her hand naturally pierced the ogre’s heart.
Thick skin and fat.
A tendon like an iron tendon.
Even hardened bones.
Everything that surrounded my heart.
The fingers were all cut off like spear blades.
softly.
And naturally.
The moment when the mana trembled as it reached my violently beating heart.
Pow!
―Kurrrr!
The ogre’s heart exploded in all directions. When Dorothy’s new model, which had risen towards the sky, began to fall towards the ground once again.
Something wrapped around her waist.
It was a thick and warm arm.
A huge realm of fire.
Dorothy’s eyes widened at the sight of the monsters around her being completely roasted.
“…professor? “Are you a professor?”
“okay.”
A voice with a cold tone.
It was a very familiar voice.
Dorothy, now completely relieved, looked at the Duke.
“I’m a professor!”
Immediately afterwards, he hugged my waist.
Ethan said to Dorothy, who was rubbing her cheek like a puppy.
“That sucks.”
“…huh?”
“This is ‘survival’ training, not a struggle for life. “There was no need to play with the ogre’s plan.”
“Ah hehe….”
Well, anyway.
Although I felt like I had risen to the next level by realizing the secret of ‘softness’.
“It is a death process. Two hundred points deducted. “Even if I add up all the positive points I’ve gotten so far, I don’t think the negative score will change.”
“…eh?”
“Based on your scores so far, you are in last place.”
“Ah…”
That was when Dorothy looked this way with devastated eyes.
Grumble!
A rumbling sound echoed from inside her stomach.
“Anyway, can I have some of that grilled meat?”
“…eat.”
Dorothy lunged for the meat.
Deduct points and sleep.
Now she was very hungry.
So much so that he ate the well-grilled ogre meat.
When I ate all the meat like that.
“Off. “It was a good meal!”
Dorothy sighed in satisfaction and looked at the Duke.
“If I’m dealing with a death, what do I do now? “Are the exams over?”
“That’s right. He will follow me around…”
That was right then.
Ysera rushed over like a cat and said, crossing Dorothy’s arms.
“I’ll take you with me!”
“Yes? sister? “Did you come with me too?”
“…okay. Dorothy. Duke, you have to supervise the exam, so come with me. got it?”
“Hmm… Do you think the duke will be uncomfortable?”
Before Ethan could say anything.
Ysera responded like lightning.
“Sure! The duke is a busy man. “Now that you’re all grown up, you should know how to be considerate.”
Dorothy’s ears perked up.
‘All grown up.’
It was quite a surprising statement for someone like Ysera, who always treated him like a child.
The performance of defeating an ogre.
He must have been impressed by that.
“lol. Your sister is right. “I am now a grown woman.”
“okay. For a lady, consideration is one of the essential virtues. got it?”
“huh! Duke! I will take care of you today. So, you can just go and have a look.”
“….”
While Ethan, who had suddenly been ‘considered’, remained silent.
“Duke! “Let’s just go!”
Ysera shouted vigorously and began to advance, leading Dorothy.
Her eyes were narrowed as she looked at Dorothy.
The slim waist of a peacock.
‘Places I couldn’t even touch…’
Just now, this guy wasn’t just hugging me tight, he was even rubbing my cheeks.
Although he speaks innocently, pretending not to know anything, he is actually the first to leave Jindo out.
‘It seems like you want it!’
Dorothy.
It was an even more dangerous bomb because it was so innocent. Ysera began to move, dragging Dorothy with her.
