I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 203
#When I returned, the family was ruined (204)
―Before that….
The religious leader snapped his fingers.
Then, a huge circular sphere was created inside the stadium. Even with Ethan’s eyesight, he could only make out the presence of something very faint.
-At this level, there will be no harm to the audience.
Soon, all kinds of elements began to swirl around the religious leader.
‘Wizard?’
He was a wizard. A very high-level, high-level wizard.
A moment of doubt crossed my mind.
In order to understand that suspicion…
we narrowed the distance at high speed. White flames, abundantly coated in the flaming divine sword, grazed the cult leader’s body. A new model that shakes like a wave. I could feel the taste of hands cutting through bone and flesh. However, Ethan’s forehead did not straighten.
‘Something is strange…’
A very subtle feeling of discomfort.
This was because I was able to derive one fact from that sense of discomfort.
‘…It’s an advanced illusion technique.’
I almost lost myself in a helpless illusion. It was a magic full of sophistication that could easily deceive even the senses of a transcendental person.
That meant one thing.
The cult leader’s skills have surpassed the level of transcendence.
I was secretly surprised.
Naraxus.
Among the shape changers, they were the highest ranking dragon race.
A dragon that can bring everything from the personality and habits of the target to the state and technology every time it changes form. The highest-ranking shapeshifter was capable of such a thing.
Even though I couldn’t steal the entire 100%, I had the power to steal more than 90%.
There was one problem…
It was the fact that the Naraxus in front of me had ‘what kind’ of human body. Has there ever been a human among wizards who has reached that level?
‘…although there are quite a few transcendents.’
There would have been no monster that could even surpass the level of the transcendent. It was the same even now, completely different from my previous life. The overwhelming power of the dragon race. As if that wasn’t enough, human technology and training systems were mixed in, but even so, it was impossible to move upward indefinitely.
This was especially true when it came to being a transcendent. At best, it is not possible to see beyond just mixing the strengths of humans and dragons.
Transcendence was an area that could not be determined by perception and experience.
A word given to a human being because he gained some kind of god-like power.
That was the meaning of the state of being a transcendent.
It was like that in the Kingdom of Heidern. Although the number of people who are held up as transcendental people has increased significantly compared to the previous life, most of them are only half-chuffed people with a lot of mana at the level of superhumans.
This became even more true as we reached higher levels.
‘More than a transcendental person.’
There couldn’t be many people like him. Moreover, even if such a person existed, it was very strange that Naraxus could borrow that much power so easily.
The ultimate form of a shape shifter is to duplicate everything in the object. To the point where the original and the fake are indistinguishable at the last moment.
‘…Assuming that such a person exists.’
So, if you imitated it like that, problems would inevitably arise.
In his past life, Naraxus was extremely reluctant to imitate those who had reached the state of transcendence.
The reason was simple.
This is because each person’s ego was so clear and possessed such a strong mental system that it was called the transcendent.
More than 90% imitates the target.
Not just strength, but also your mental system and emotional mindset.
So how will things go?
There may be no problem in imitating lower-level beings, but the closer the object gets to the higher realm…
‘There is a high possibility that it will be eaten in reverse.’
By imitating their appearance, they can actually continue their lives with the mindset of a human rather than a dragon race.
This is why shapeshifters rarely appear directly in battle. In order to imitate a human with useful power, you had to take a lot of risk.
Wouldn’t it be more beneficial to imitate beings who, like the king of a country or high-ranking nobles, can have a great influence on the continent even though their skills themselves are not high?
Of course, such beings were inevitably accompanied by high-skilled bodyguards, so they were accompanied by high-level shape-shifters with enough power to prevent their imitation from being detected.
In that sense, the current situation could be said to be very strange.
‘How can you imitate a human who has surpassed the level of transcendence?’
Was there a special number?
If it weren’t for that, most likely, he would have been eaten by the wizard’s personality.
‘No, maybe…’
For a moment, an assumption flashed through Ethan’s mind. The assumption is that maybe the dragon in front of us right now is not Naraxus.
The reason he assumed that the cult leader was Naraxus was simple. This was because the name of the church was the Naraxus Church. If the name of the church had been the name of another dragon race, other dragon races would naturally have come to mind.
[Aren’t you Naraxus?]
The corners of the cult leader’s mouth went up at those words.
[Why are you asking that question?]
[Because I don’t think so.]
Ethan knew in detail everything from Naraxus’ true appearance to what type of dragon he was. However, since the cult leader had not revealed his true identity yet, he could only guess that fact. However, the situation was different now that I had witnessed the religious leader’s magical skills firsthand.
[Isn’t it normal for a shape-shifter’s spirit to be consumed by imitating a human with that much power?]
The mana swirling around the cult leader trembled slightly. Waves of emotion are projected onto mana.
The religious leader, who was silent for a long time, answered.
[…You know more than you think. Well, he is a descendant of Ardan…]
Although there were quite a few people who knew information about the dragon race called shape changers, there were almost no people who were aware of the limitations of shape changers.
This was because it had not been long since the dragon race appeared in earnest on the Western Continent, and the shape changers themselves were one of the races that operated much more secretly than other dragon races. I can’t believe you already know what could be considered the highest level of information about such a shapeshifter.
The leader couldn’t help but be quite surprised.
And even for assuming that he was not Naraxus based on that amount of facts at best. Even the seven archbishops thought he was Naraxus.
It seemed like the information Ardan was getting was much deeper than he expected.
Immediately, the leader nodded.
[you’re right. Let me introduce you formally. His name is Lucreon, the leader of the language worshipers. You can simply call me Demon Dragon.]
It was a familiar name.
The ruler of Yongeon, who was called the Demon Dragon of Eternal Spirit instead of Lucreon.
It was a monster that could have driven all the wizards in the world into despair. Words embodied with power in language had a much simpler and simpler structure than magic, but nine out of ten wizards in the world were unable to embody those simple words and were swept away by the demon dragons.
The reason was simple.
This was because embodying words was something close to an innate talent. Like the Demon Dragons, who are said to worship language, they either embody a special structure called ‘Eonryeonghwan’ in their heads…
‘If not, they have overwhelming talent.’
Eonryeong was a tribal technology that could not be utilized without such a structure. However, there was another reason why Ethan vividly remembered this dragon race.
Ilya.
This was because the leader of the language worshipers who killed her in her previous life was this demonic dragon of language. The memory of driving a blade into his heart as revenge for him was still vivid.
‘I see.’
For most wizards, changing their appearance would be a piece of cake if they were a ghostly demon dragon that was lightly steamed. It must not have been that difficult to be praised as the leader of a cult without being discovered by any human beings.
Aren’t even ordinary wizards able to manipulate their appearance at will when they reach the 9th rank?
The difference with Naraxus would be whether or not it can imitate all the elements of a changed human.
[Where is Naraxus?]
[Calm down. We haven’t made our first transaction yet. And that is quite important information.]
[Does it require a price?]
[It would be a shame to say it out loud. Hmm. Before continuing the conversation, isn’t it important to give the audience something to see so they don’t get bored? No matter how formal it may be.] As
soon as the Demon Dragon finished speaking, a huge explosion of noise erupted throughout the stadium. Behind the spectacular sights, there was enormous destructive power.
All eight hwans were liberated. The mana flowing from the eight pills completely covered the body. The blazing white flames quickly blocked the cult leader’s mana.
The mana of the religious leader, who was painted entirely black, was wrapped in white flame.
Pow!
The two mana, who were fighting fiercely, exploded in all directions. Sweat was already running down Ethan’s face. It was a power that was difficult to extinguish even with the heat of white flame.
‘strong.’
And that’s beyond imagination.
As we entered the state of transcendence, the speed of mana recovery had long since become incomparably faster than before. The amount was incomparable to the past.
Nevertheless…
the power struggle with the cult leader, who was emitting mana to the extent that the word ‘infinite’ was truly appropriate, was extremely difficult.
It is impossible to open that damn mouth by force. Ethan could sense that fact. This is because the demon dragon had much greater power than the dragon race Anna I met earlier.
‘…Amazing.’
The Dragon Clan, who had been able to deal with just one Transcendent in their previous life, has now risen in rank to the point where they seem difficult to deal with even if three or more Transcendents attack them.
Still, there was one good news. I was able to understand to some extent the power this guy had.
‘What’s important now is…’
It wasn’t some random sparring that could only serve the purpose of giving the audience something to see.
Extracting as much information as possible from the demon dragon. As he is a member of the highest level of the Dragon Clan, he must know a variety of facts.
I asked while blocking the mana.
[Is the Iron Tyrant the same level as you?]
The leader of the Metal Dragons located in the Dwarf Kingdom. The demon dragon wanted him to hunt down the iron tyrant.
I was able to guess a few reasons.
first.
The power of the Iron Tyrant is equal to or greater than that of the Demon Dragon. However, this possibility itself was not high.
‘If it’s enough to hand over Ardenheit.’
He may be thinking of using this as his hand. However, if the situation was as I first guessed, the only thing waiting for me in the Dwarven Kingdom was death.
If you were going to kill, there was no need to move in such a complicated way. With that much power, it wouldn’t be difficult to secretly erase yourself. The possibility itself may not be high.
[Of course not. If the Iron Tyrant’s power had been that much, there would have been no need to move the Duke.]
With those words, Ethan was able to notice one thing. The Demon Dragon is much stronger than the Iron Tyrant.
That also meant that it was not difficult to kill a metal dragon if you put your mind to it. But why go through such a complicated process to kill him?
It’s probably because it seems obvious to kill a guy outright.
To whom?
Isn’t it probably from the same dragon clan? There is no need to worry about humans.
‘…There is a high possibility that a division has arisen among the dragon clan.’
In the previous life, the dragons moved as one body under the orders of the dragonlord. Considering that, it was as if a very big change had occurred.
