I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 172
# After returning, the family was ruined (173)
As the scale of the competition was so large, a gold-level invitation was something that even the king of a country could not easily use. Not only was the quantity distributed very small, but there were many eyes watching, so inviting someone with unsuitable skills could result in embarrassment.
‘There will only be a maximum of ten pieces of gold distributed.’
Here, the kingdom was either given one card or not.
However, when serving as a host country such as the Kingdom of Limedell, you could receive up to two copies at most.
Who gets the remaining invitations?
Usually, it was distributed to the emperor of the Zeno Empire. Even if the emperor cannot do it, he is given three cards. If you think about common sense, it was unlikely that the kingdom would send an invitation to him.
‘Because there won’t be anything left.’
In order to raise the honor of each country, it was the most reasonable decision to distribute invitations to the best late season leaders in the kingdom.
Sending out invitations so close to the competition means that there is room for quantity.
‘It’s most likely the Zeno Empire.’
This is the country with the most invitations. So much so that it doesn’t matter if you use one sheet at your discretion.
Is the Emperor of the Empire paying attention to this?
‘Why?’
Ardan was slowly coming back to life, but not enough to raise the boundaries of the empire.
Ethan’s face became cold.
It was because a force passed through my mind for an instant.
platform.
The previous generation had a history of fighting against the dragon lord and protecting the kingdom. The Emperor of the Empire may not think much about Ardan.
The denomination was different.
Even if it is because of past history, they will continue to keep an eye on this area.
The Great Church, called the Holy Land of the Naraxus Church, was located in the Zeno Empire. A person called a religious leader must have a close relationship with the emperor.
It wouldn’t have been difficult to use one invitation to suit your taste.
What was important was the fact that ‘why’ the church invited him.
‘assassination?’
Of course, it would be much easier to target if you leave the base called Heidern and move to the next kingdom, but…
‘Why?’
To put it bluntly, with the power and force of the church, it would not have been difficult to trample on Ardan.
Even though one archbishop was kicked out, not only did transcendents exist in the other six kingdoms, but wasn’t the cult leader an extreme expert who was evaluated as higher than a transcendent?
Even if the entire kingdom of Heidern rushes in, they will not be able to deal with the church.
To that extent, the denomination boasted of its strong standing. Would people like that try to handle things in such a troublesome way?
It didn’t seem like it to Ethan.
‘There must be another plan.’
Should I participate or not?
The worry was fleeting.
Continental swordsmanship competition.
By participating in this competition, we will be able to inform the entire continent that Ardan is spreading its wings of resurrection. The gain was too great to be given up for just an unknown plot.
‘I need to recover my body first.’
Not even a day had passed since the raid ended. Although it looked fine on the outside, there were quite a few wounds on the inside of the body.
Ethan called Ysera.

“Hehe… more more! “Give us more!”
“Archbishop! Please have mercy… Wow!”
Seventh Archbishop.
The Seven Seas had been slowly going crazy since returning from battle. Even though he was not injured, his extreme regenerative power was unstoppable.
Energy that is constantly consumed.
It was a kind of consumption that even the Archbishop’s enormous mana could not handle.
A maddening hunger came over me.
Simple food could not quench hunger like a monkfish. It was then that I smelled a scent like the finest delicacy from the believers.
It was impossible to overcome the temptation.
one two.
The number of people belonging to the branch decreased.
A sinister rumor began to circulate that the archbishop was preying on believers.
The priests began to hesitate. It was the same for bishops. Even for a bishop with great power, it was impossible to resist the violence of the archbishop. Eventually, this news reached the Great Church.
One of the archbishops looked at the cult leader warily.
“…Sir. I received a call from the branch located in Heidern. It is said that the Seven Seas are going crazy.”
“Hmm.”
“If things continue like this, one branch may not be able to function properly forever. We need to dispatch personnel…”
“We have already dispatched Anna.”
“…Is that so?”
The archbishop swallowed his saliva.
Anna.
It was a name that an ordinary country woman would have. But the meaning of the name was such that even the archbishop felt afraid. A true dragon wearing a human shell.
A monster that can turn even the king of a country into a doll to suit his taste.
Anna was such a being.
She would be able to overpower the foolish Seven Seas in an instant. Made into a faithful doll that will follow his hands forever.
The archbishop’s thoughts were exactly correct. The true dragon had already arrived at Heidern’s branch.
However, if there was one concern, it was that the monster’s motivation did not consist solely of purity for the sake of the church.
* * *
Life lingered in the dim pupils of the Seven Seas. It was because of the unbearably fragrant smell that began to emanate from the surrounding area.
Saliva was dripping from the corner of my mouth. A body so swollen that it looks as if it might explode, like a bloated plant.
It had sixteen limbs instead of four. No matter how you looked at it, it had an appearance that could not be defined as human. I wouldn’t know if it was undead.
The girl chuckled.
“Hmm. Who would have thought that our Seven Sisters would turn into such idiotic bastards. “It’s amazing.”
“I’m hungry…”
The Seven Seas looked at the girl.
My stomach, which was making a growling sound as if I was eating the ultimate delicacy, immediately became cold. So much power was flowing from the girl’s body that even the archbishop, who had lost half of his wits, felt fear.
“Where is the bug looking straight at?”
“….”
Extreme fear.
The Seven Seas instinctively lowered their heads. As the fear disappeared from my gaze, extreme hunger came over me.
The scent of delicacy filled the interior.
“I’m hungry…”
“Huh?”
“I’m so hungry… I’m hungry!”
The temptation was so strong. The archbishop, forgetting his fear, immediately left his seat. Several legs were moving actively as if it were an octopus.
Amazing speed.
Anna stuck her tongue out at that sight.
Even though my brain was tired, my physical ability could be said to have developed further than before.
It seemed like it would make a useful doll.
Her pupils turned bright yellow. It was qualitatively different from Sa-an, a lowly pupil who was prone to deception.
It was the dragon’s eye that subjugated the other person’s spirit and ultimately turned them into slaves who sacrificed their lives.
[Look here.]
An irresistible whisper.
The archbishop raised his head.
I saw pupils filled with evil power. A thick fog completely covered my head. So much so that I even forgot the hunger that had caused me endless pain.
[This.]
Anna took out a small doll and smiled.
[This is you.]
“…Me?”
[okay. Your veins, heart, head, arms and legs. Even down to the tiniest cell. This is your body.]
The seven faces scrunched up at the strange voice. The very vague remaining reason was screaming.
no.
Dangerous.
You should never accept it…
then.
Anna suddenly approached the Seven Seas and raised her hand. A huge hand suddenly appeared and grabbed the Archbishop’s neck tightly.
I was out of breath.
I couldn’t move my body at all. That was the same even for the mana located inside. The Transcendent struggled helplessly.
“Keuheook!”
“Don’t think about it. “A cheeky doll theme.”
“Keuuuuuuu!”
Lungs craving oxygen.
Two eyeballs swelled to the point of bursting. The pain did not end with the body. My head throbbed, as if my soul was being whipped.
[Take a good look at your thin body.]
Anna pointed to the doll.
Soon her hand went towards the doll. It was a sight I couldn’t take my eyes off.
Tears welled up in the archbishop’s eyes.
afraid.
I am so afraid.
An extreme, unexplained fear was driving him into a corner.
“Ah… no…!”
Knock!
The two legs attached to the doll were ripped off.
The archbishop’s eyes widened.
This was because I felt tremendous pain in my lower body.
“Aaaah!”
“Shh.”
Two fingers grasped the doll’s neck. The slender neck was shaking precariously as if it could break at any time. The archbishop’s face turned red.
“Keheup!”
In a distant fear.
The archbishop’s mind was entirely focused on the doll. The girl who saw it nodded as if she was satisfied.
“Do you understand? “I’m glad I’m not too stupid.”
“….”
Knock!
In an instant, the doll’s arms were broken.
Blood poured out from the archbishop’s limbs. Suddenly, his body became one with the doll. A little bit of reason came back from the immense pain.
Soon his eyes became stained with despair. This was because he immediately recognized who the girl standing in front of him was.
“Ah… Anna?”
“hi? “I guess you’ve finally come to your senses?”
“If you do this… the church leader won’t stay silent…”
“I already gave you permission?”
“Oh, no…!”
The archbishop’s eyes were filled with despair. The fact that the religious leader allowed it was no different from the fact that he had completely abandoned himself. Anna’s ‘dominance’ was already tying her down.
This spell was something that even a transcendental person could not escape. The power of life and death has been completely tampered with.
It meant that now I would have to live as that woman’s doll for the rest of my life.
“Don’t think about it. “It will be less painful.”
Anna smiled and held her hand towards the doll.
In order to make a perfect doll, even the fingers must be removed cleanly. Fortunately, the doll to be produced this time seemed to be able to withstand the production process well.
Isn’t new skin already growing on the severed limb?
Anna picked up the doll.
Soon, screams began to echo throughout the branch.
* * *
“Off!”
Anna stretched out.
The transcendent is a state that belongs to the end that humans can reach. Even if he was the so-called dragon of domination, it was not easy to turn the transcendent into a puppet.
‘Well, even taking that into account, it ended easily.’
The object’s intelligence was half lost. It was a good thing for Anna. Under normal circumstances, we would have had to use three times more power than this.
A crunching sound was heard.
Anna asked, smiling.
“Is it delicious?”
Nod!
I saw a doll nodding its head hastily. Rewards and punishments must be clear. Every time the Seven Lords surrendered to him, he provided them with plenty of food that he needed. Fortunately, there were many humans left that could be used as food.
In particular, the bishop was like a special nutritional meal. Not only did the limbs that had been cut off grow back in an instant, but they also became stronger than before.
The work that the leader ordered was completed.
But Anna had no intention of going back right away.
‘Ardan.’
The head of Ardan, whom she learned through the Seven Seas, piqued her interest.
‘It’s a vibration type.’
Among the Ardan system, it was a high-ranking technique. The story of swordsmanship that shook like an earthquake was very familiar to the dragon tribe.
Draksis, the lord of all dragon people.
There was a saying that the reason the monarch was hiding without showing himself was because he was seriously injured by that swordsmanship.
A human who may one day be added as one of his dolls.
Wouldn’t it be a good option to take a look at this?
Anna’s eyes sparkled.
