I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 319

#When I returned, the family was ruined (319)

The demon dragon looked at his empty shoulders. No matter how high-ranking a dragon race it was, it was impossible to immediately regenerate a severed body part. All kinds of methods were used to attach the neck, which is directly connected to life, but the arms were different.

‘There is no point in regenerating it.’

Now was the time to gather at least a handful more mana and escape from here. The demon dragon’s gaze diligently scanned the monarch and the duke.

I didn’t know when we would go on the offensive again. That’s why I was more nervous than ever. Even if you get hit just three times like this, your body will turn into a rag.

‘Damn, it’s not that easy.’

The problem was the monarch.

His level was higher than his own.

If they wanted to block the magic, they could block it as much as they wanted. As if all the mana around it had been eaten away just a moment ago.

Because he knew this fact, he tried to make a life-or-death decision with the monarch before the duke intervened.

Since escape was blocked, that was the only answer. That’s why they tried to analyze the monarch’s weaknesses and find a way to destroy him.

In the end, I found a solution and was able to turn around a situation that felt so hopeless. That’s exactly what I thought….

After setting the table, some random guy came and ate the most delicious side dishes.

Duke of Ethan.

In the end, the culprit of all this was that person.

‘…Shit.’

It was obvious how things would unfold. Draksis had no intention of letting himself go.

There was no doubt that he was convinced that he could not solve his chronic problems.

In the end, what he needed was his own corpse. This was a fact that could easily be inferred just by looking at the greedy look he showed when his arm was cut off.

If you think about how, in a situation where even a handful of mana was wasted, they did their best to block it as soon as there was a sign of escape.

‘Conversation will be useless.’

What he desperately wanted was survival, but what Draksis wanted was his own body.

What each person wanted was completely different. If there was this difference, negotiations were meaningless. Moreover, Draksis’s power, like his own, was decreasing in real time. I looked at the floor where the Demon Dragon’s severed arm was located.

The arm that flew away looking fine had already turned into a pile of ashes. While the monarch rushes in to stop him.

On the contrary, the duke played a prank on the monarch’s prey.

‘…It’s too disadvantageous.’

Even if such an unreasonable clash occurs one more time, the war will be irreversibly ruined.

Even if you and the monarch rush in together, you will reach a point where you will not be able to deal with the duke.

Now there were only two options left for the Demon Dragon. The first was to join forces with the monarch and attack the duke. In this way, at least the situation that was biased towards the duke could be reversed.

Unless Draksis was an idiot, there was no way he wouldn’t have realized that he was at a disadvantage in a situation like this.

Therefore, there was a high possibility that they would agree to take away the duke’s power rather than attacking him for now.

However, if there was a drawback, it was the extent to which the monarch could be trusted. There was no way they could completely trust each other. Moreover, Draksis had consumed a large amount of mana. You will want to recover your body as quickly as possible.

It is not strange to get stabbed in the back at any time.

However, he was not very willing to promise a temporary truce until the duke was killed. The reason was simple.

Even in a joint attack between the two, the duke still had enough strength to inflict fatal wounds on at least one of them.

Isn’t there a law that prevents you from becoming the target of the Duke? The probability of survival becomes very uncertain. On the other hand, the one remaining option is…

‘…if we give up the West Continent…’

What if we accept all of the duke’s demands? It was clearly a very unreasonable condition. Even so, there was nothing more precious than life.

In any case, the moment you close your eyes, the influence is virtually gone. Wouldn’t it be better to cut it off yourself while still surviving?

Instead of giving up a lot of things while being humiliated, you can hold on tightly to at least one lifeline. The Demon Dragon could not make a decision easily because not only life and death but also everything he had built up throughout his life depended on this one decision.

[Ball…]

Before I could finish saying anything.

The duke began to rush once again. Actions are faster than words. Mana rushed into the Demon Dragon’s remaining fist.

The great sword and fist clashed strongly. Originally, it would have been normal to overpower the duke, but the result was the exact opposite, perhaps because he was in such dire physical condition. The Demon Dragon’s steps were gradually being pushed back. It was a bad result.

Still, it was okay up to this point. The demon dragon’s eyes quickly scanned the monarch’s seat. Now the variable was his judgment. If he decides to kill himself like this, take his body, and kill the duke, he will attack him without hesitation.

‘…If not…’

When it is judged that it is dangerous to leave the operation alone like this, it will move to stab the human in the back. The demon dragon hoped that the monarch’s decision would be the latter. But his hopes were dashed.

Before I knew it, I could see the monarch holding his back and pointing his bone sword like in the situation a moment ago.

‘Holy shit. Such an idiot…’

There was no time for me to feel bitter. My heart was beating like crazy, as if I was screaming. That was a warning sound. A sharp warning sound to continue living.

Mana was urgently sent outside. An enormous protective shield formed around the heart. However, the monarch’s sword continued to move toward its destination without any hesitation. The shield shattered in an instant. In the end, there was only one choice for the Demon Dragon amidst the attacks of the two strong men.

Avoid fatal injuries at all costs. He twisted his body and blew mana onto his skin. The trajectory of the sword heading straight for the heart was slightly twisted.

In the end, the bone sword stopped working by piercing the chest instead of piercing the heart. However, it was not possible to prevent the monarch’s mana from destroying the inside.

Wow!

Dead blood burst out from the corner of the mouth. It was a serious internal injury. The strength drained from the hand that was clashing with the divine sword.

It was the biggest crisis. If the duke attacked with all his might, there was no way to stop him. Around the time when the demon dragon fell into despair. The Duke moved differently than he expected. Instead of ending his weakened self, he rushed towards the monarch behind him.

Draksis, holding out his bone sword, blocked the new sword. Meanwhile, the demon dragon, whose knees were weak, staggered.

‘… Escape… Escape…’

I did my best to prevent the fatal wound, but there was a limit to how I could stop the two with will alone. This was especially true when a significant amount of mana had been consumed, which may have been the case if the body was in good condition.

In the end, he suffered internal injuries to the point of being semi-incapacitated in battle. Now it was the West Continent, and going to sleep wasn’t the problem. Getting out of here was the top priority.

Even while experiencing terrible internal pain, I tried to gather mana. However, the monarch’s mana settled in the body was tougher and stickier than a tick.

Mana, which had been flocking in from all directions like prey caught in a trap, began to lose its power.

‘What a piece of shit…’

Right now, the problem was driving out the monarch’s mana. I stubbornly controlled my fading mind. There was no time to pay attention to the huge crash sound coming from behind. Anyway, if those two were to target him, he was going to die.

bang!

bang!

bang!

The divine sword made of Ardenheite and the huge bone sword made of spine clashed without a single drop. Ethan was clearly utilizing several times more mana than the monarch.

Nevertheless, the speed at which the sword reached its destination was similar for both. How is this possible?

Ethan felt a sense of déjà vu. I was soon able to find out the reason. Extremely efficient movement. It was much more neat and clean than the movement that had been carried out with Lorotia descending.

The monarch was moving like that.

‘Right.’

Consciously or unconsciously.

Ethan was naturally imitating the monarch’s movements. The reason was simple. This was because I realized that that sword technique was extremely efficient. With each change, little by little, the monarch’s eyes narrowed to the point where they could no longer narrow.

I expected that person to rush at me. There was no reason to just let the demon dragon’s corpse be picked up and eaten. Also, the demon dragon was now weakened to the point where it could not use space movement magic.

If they are both people who have to be killed anyway, there is no reason to favor one over the other. Even if it were me, I would have acted like that. That’s why I was prepared. Although they lacked mana, their skills and level were overwhelmingly superior. I thought it would be possible to create a gap to that extent. It wasn’t impossible to approach the demon dragon if you could just open that one moment’s gap. That’s what I thought…

‘…is it getting narrower and narrower?’

As if counting down and the numbers decrease one by one.

The gap between himself and the duke continued to narrow with each clash of swords. It was almost unbelievable that it was a human talent. It was so absurd that I almost burst out laughing.

Looking at the current situation, isn’t it a scene no different from becoming the enemy’s swordsmanship teacher?

It can’t go on like this. The guy was growing by relying on himself. The monarch, who sensed danger, put the mana he had saved into his body.

Then, the situation that had been boiling just a moment ago began to tilt to one side. The monarch, who had pushed the humans from a defensive to an offensive position in one go, looked at the demon dragon. The guy was healing his internal injuries very quietly. Although he was using his own mana to heal wounds and suppress the use of mana, the demon dragon was also a talented person with some skills of his own. I couldn’t stop recovery forever.

‘I must kill you now.’

The monarch, who had forcibly opened a gap, ran toward the demon dragon. Ethan immediately chased after him, and the frightened demon dragon persistently collected mana. However, there was no way the completely devastated Demon Dragon could block the sincere blow of the monarch.

A sword that pierces the heart.

This time I couldn’t even dodge like before.

-Khaha!

The demon dragon, whose heart had a hole the size of a gate, vomited out a huge amount of blood. Both the monarch and the demon dragon felt the same thing at the same time.

The monarch was confident that the demon dragon’s life had ended with this blow. And the demon dragon is convinced that he will no longer be able to live.

The end of life.

The demon dragon, who was looking at the monarch with eyes full of blood vessels, held on tightly with one hand the bone sword that pierced his heart. I couldn’t go on like this alone.

Wouldn’t it be less unfair to have at least one companion? The last candle burned brilliantly.

Kill it.

The magic containing the last resentment was shot towards the monarch’s new form.

The moment the monarch with frowning eyes tried to move his body. This time, on the contrary, he saw a human running towards him, aiming for his heart.

He moved the bone sword, but the bone sword held in the demon dragon’s hand did not even move as if it were stuck to glue.

It was a combination attack so clever that even he could not see a direction to avoid.

Before long, two attacks struck Draksis’ body at the same time.
