I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 141
#When I returned, my family was ruined (142)
“Whew. “It’s finally broken.”
The Marquis, who broke out of the sphere, stared at the bishop’s corpse.
As I concentrated my eyes, I was able to see the fragments of the dragon remaining in the bishop’s body.
“It’s like… I’ve become an immature half-human, half-dragon. “Can I hear what you plan to do with the body?”
“There is a place for it.”
“I understand.”
The Marquis nodded willingly.
A combination of dragons and humans.
What Ethan used was a technique that could be called dragon-humanization.
The sight was a refreshing shock to the Marquis. I was assuming that such things were usually tricks used only when one’s own strength was lacking.
‘…It wasn’t like that.’
The duke was not relying on such technology.
They were simply using it actively because it was more efficient.
‘I wasn’t drunk on my own power.’
He was not swayed by the temptation of great power, nor did he rely solely on it.
For the duke, technology related to the dragon clan only served as an efficient tool.
‘Thank goodness.’
Yongin’s enormous power.
If a human intoxicated with that power had used the bishop’s corpse, the first thing I would have been concerned about.
Aren’t those who worship the cult all reverence for the enormous power possessed by dragons? Great power has always been one of the elements that tempts humans.
‘But if it’s the duke…’
I could rest assured.
He was never a weak person who could be swept away by great power. Rather, it might be a Sangvis leader who strongly controls that power.
Therefore, they did not feel much anxiety about using the corpse of a bishop with traces of the Yongin tribe buried in it.
‘I’m looking forward to it.’
The humanization of peacocks was not yet a completely perfected technique.
At most, they only changed the arms and legs.
‘…If I could change my whole body’s mana completely like a dragon.’
Humans and dragons were races with a stark difference in strength. If a person fights with the same level of knowledge and enlightenment, he or she will most likely be defeated.
What the Duke showed was a technology that could overcome such racial limitations. A technology that requires enormous mana and control, but can overcome the limitations of the human race for a short period of time.
‘I guess I should practice some, too.’
Thanks to the Duke, my unconscious prejudices were broken.
For the Marquis, it was something to be thankful for. As the King’s sword, shouldn’t we continue training to become stronger at any time?
“Peacock.”
“Why but?”
“You’re talking about a technique that uses the body of a dragon race. Can I use it too?”
Ethan looked into the Marquis’ eyes and laughed. Despite his old age, what filled his eyes was the spirit of improvement.
“Does not matter.”
Not only does it not mean that you won’t do it just because you’re told not to, but the Ardan family is a family that has grown so much. By accepting the strengths and rejecting the weaknesses.
Didn’t the duke’s advanced swordsmanship contain barbarian techniques that the kingdom’s citizens so ignored?
That’s how a knight should behave.
but.
“It won’t be easy.”
“I know. “It seems like each and every part of the Balaur’s body was very delicately implemented with mana.”
It was a very difficult process even for the Marquis, who was a transcendent person.
It will take quite a long time to recognize the power of the dragon race and completely tame it.
“I’m actually looking forward to it. If you think about it, training was mandatory at some point. “The world of swords wouldn’t have been this wide at best.”
“Once you start negotiating, you stop there.”
“What Duke Heohe said is correct. You can’t stop just because you’re old. “I learned a lot today.”
The Marquis bowed his head slightly and showed respect. Although he was older than me, the Duke in front of me was someone who could be recognized as a true knight, from his way of thinking to his attitude.
“I want to repay you in some way… but it seems like the only thing this old man can give the duke is his martial arts skills.”
“That’s enough.”
Ethan smiled.
Marquis Lionel.
He was not a transcendental person who could be called a ‘fake’ like Count Marek.
This is a true knight who has truly overcome walls. Of course, that did not mean that he had surpassed the level that Ethan had in his previous life.
but.
There is a lot to learn from those who overcome the barrier of superhumanity.
If we were to single out only the strengths of Marquis Lionel, wouldn’t it be a lot of tricks?
“This place might be a bit difficult… Is there a good place?”
“It looks like a secret training hall has been opened at the academy.”
“Ho…a secret training ground. “It looks like there’s something there.”
Despite its grandiose name, it was a gymnasium with nothing special. At best, they just remodeled the basement and turned it into a training hall.
Still, it was a good place to quietly exchange swords.
at that time.
“Captain, all the wizards above you have been dealt with.”
The Shadow Knights, who arrived three feet later, appeared.
The scenery on the fourth basement floor was bizarre.
The space on all sides was completely caved in, the stone walls were completely black, as if they had been completely scorched by the heat, and everyone, from wizards in their forties to bishops wearing pure white robes, were all dead.
‘…There was a huge fight!’
The wizards on the ground were also having fun, but they were by no means the same as the wizards currently crowded into the 4th underground floor. When I saw the scent of mana flowing densely even from the freshly dead body, I could say that the people here were experts that even the Shadow Knights would find difficult.
If the leader had not gone down to the basement himself, many sacrifices would have been made. The knights looked at the marquis with admiration.
As he was an expert who had reached the level of transcendence, he was a strong man who did not move easily, but once he moved, he was their leader who unleashed the power of a natural disaster.
“Thank you for your hard work, Captain.”
“As expected… even if he is a bishop, he is helpless in front of the leader’s sword.”
“huh? “What are you talking about?”
“…yes?”
“I wasn’t the one who killed them.”
“then…?”
“Isn’t it right in front of you now?”
The place the Marquis pointed with his eyes.
Duke Ethan was seated there.
“…Are you saying that the Duke took care of them all?”
“That’s it. “The bishop used some pretty unique items.”
As the Marquis continued his explanation, the knights’ gazes towards the Duke gradually became astonished. The power gathered on the 4th basement floor was such that even the superhuman Vice Knight Commander could not easily deal with it. Are you handling it all by yourself?
‘…You really handled it by yourself?’
‘Captain, you were just watching?’
Does this make sense?
The result was completely different from what I had thought, at most, I would have helped the leader deal with a few magicians. But I couldn’t help but believe it. There is no reason for the leader to lie to them about this.
‘How much skill do you have?’
One thing was certain.
The duke’s power would be a world away from what the kingdom’s citizens predicted.
“Take care of the traces.”
The knights nodded.
The best way to deal with these underground traces was to completely bury the facility.
“Can I use magic explosives?”
“Hmm.”
The Marquis, who was inspecting the underground facility, nodded.
“The ground around is quite hard. You may use it. “Place explosives here, here, here.”
When personnel went to the ground.
Rumble!
The building in the black market completely collapsed, accompanied by a noise that sounded like thunder.
“Go back and report to His Majesty.”
“Captain…?”
“I have work to do. “Oh, you should follow me.”
“yes.”
The knight who lifted the bishop’s body began to follow the marquis.
* * *
The Academy’s secret training hall.
It was an instant to get there.
A time close to dawn.
Of course I thought no one would be there.
“There is someone.”
There were people who were training late. It was a milestone.
“uh?”
Duke of Ethan.
Mileton, who was tilting his head at the sight of the old man next to him, soon began to open his eyes.
“Li… Your Excellency the Marquis Lionel?”
“It’s been a while.”
He was the king’s sword and a master among masters, known as a transcendental master. Why did such a person suddenly appear in the secret training hall?
Mileton looked at the Marquis with bewildered eyes.
“…Are you here with the Duke?”
“okay. I came here to see if we could spar. “Can I use the training hall?”
“…!”
Sparring!
I could tell who the other person was without having to say anything. It couldn’t have been a knight carrying a limp body.
Duke of Ethan.
He must be saying that he will spar with him directly.
gulp.
Mileton swallowed.
Although he trained for nearly a month, he still could not understand the duke’s true colors.
He only vaguely realized that his rival was a strong man with skills beyond his imagination.
But is that level so high that you can spar directly with a transcendent person?
Duke Ethan and Marquis Lionel.
It was a sparring between giants among giants.
‘I’d like to tour it alone, but…’
While living at the academy for the past month, he became quite close with other late exponents. It wouldn’t be right for him to watch this battle alone.
Right then.
Ethan said while looking at Mileton.
“Bring in the students from the special class.”
It was a rare opportunity to spar with a transcendent person. For the members of the special class who had reached a certain level, looking into this sparring was a benefit, not a loss.
Mileton nodded willingly and left the training ground at the speed of the wind. The Marquis saw this and asked with a smile.
“Hmm. “It seems like you are more passionate about education than I thought.”
“If you’re going to teach, shouldn’t you teach clearly?”
“The duke is right. “I heard that there were five families that participated in the special class. Is this correct?”
“right.”
“Huh, I guess the other two families will regret hitting the ground.”
It would have been difficult to find a teacher whose basic skills were as perfect as that of a craftsman.
If the candidate group was narrowed down to an age similar to that of the later exponents, it would have been safe to just say that there were none.
‘There must be something to feel when looking at someone of your age with overwhelming talent.’
I can’t believe I missed this incredible opportunity.
While the Marquis mourns the two families who made foolish choices.
From afar, six students, including Mileton and Myers, could be seen running diligently.
Soon after seeing the Marquis Lionel, the late exponents bowed their heads. From age and distribution to title and ability, the Marquis was a person who should be respected even if it was faced by the heads of the family instead of themselves.
“Hoo…”
The Marquis, who was looking at the six late exponents, nodded.
“I think the duke was a good teacher.”
“My hands and feet are all going to shrivel up.”
“haha. “I can’t help but be amazed every time I see it, so how could I not say good things about it?”
The Marquis smiled happily and took out his sword.
“I heard that you sparred with the Duke without mana.”
“Do you want to do that?”
“I want it. The Duke’s sword dance… “The more I look at it, the more beautiful I feel.”
A sparring match that does not utilize mana.
There was no better way to check the opponent’s fundamentals and true character.
“Then let’s do it.”
The moment Ethan finished speaking.
The two men’s swords began to clash.
