I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 323

＃When I returned, the family was ruined (323)

Inside a secret underground facility that was damp, musty, and even damp.

Anna was hiding there as if dead. The reason was simple.

The leader of the church and one of the six rulers like himself.

This was because news from the Demon Dragon, who was the strongest of all rulers and had expressed aspirations to take on even the dragon lord, was suddenly cut off.

This was something she had never experienced since she was with the demon dragon.

The demon dragon’s mana was enormous, and considering its amazing magic skills, it was possible to communicate with it at any time, even if it was on another continent.

He had been contacting me regularly until the last time we lost contact. If it is cut off, it means that something is wrong with the Demon Dragon.

Anna recalled the last time she communicated with the demon dragon.

Clearly, the Demon Dragon was on a roll.

Not only did he raise his position through some sort of ‘deal’ with Duke Ethan, but he also raised suspicions about the monarch. The high point was just around the corner.

That was a fact that could be known just by hearing his confident voice.

Of course, I couldn’t help but be excited.

As the power of the number one person increases, wouldn’t the number two person who follows closely behind him also benefit?

Moreover, considering his ability ‘dominance’, there was no need to worry about being attacked. There is no other ability like this when it comes to dealing with humans.

West Continent and Southern Continent.

For Demon Dragon, who wants to control two continents, he is the most necessary talent.

That’s why, not long ago, Anna’s mood seemed to be sky-high.

However, now that we have not heard from each other for two months….

“…Damn it! This Anna has to be stuck in such a miserable place? “Tsk!”

…It was the worst.

Everything is everything.

The demon dragon is stronger than you.

There is a very high probability that such a demonic dragon would have died.

Moreover, he had a history of following such a demonic dragon more actively than anyone else. There is no law that says you cannot be put to death at any time.

If the monarch had won, there would be no way he would have left the traitors alone.

Waiting for a call is a day or two. When the news passed 10 days and then 20 days…

I couldn’t bear the anxiety.

The final blow to that anxiety was the news that the monarch and the demon dragon had died.

Heartwarming news delivered from the secret agents spread throughout the Southern Continent.

It is said that the two, who fought to the death, had their heads cut off by the duke.

As soon as Anna heard the news, she ran away from the church faster than anyone else. A hideout arranged in the past.

A place that even his superior, the Demon Dragon, doesn’t know about. In the worst case scenario, I headed towards the place I had prepared in case I ended up like an abandoned hunting dog.

It was a very natural choice.

Duke Ethan was aware of his existence. He is even aware of his own abilities and how he used them to control the human kingdom.

Would he, who killed all the rulers except himself without hesitation and not only kill the monarch, leave the only remaining ruler alone?

In a situation where you have become so strong that you can’t even remember the first time you faced each other?

It was an impossible story.

“Ugh… damn it! “Do I have to hide like this for the rest of my life?”

And that too, in a place where not even sunlight can properly enter, with an indelible anxiety in one corner of your heart?

It was a terrible ending.

“why! why!”

Anna started pulling out her hair like she was mentally ill.

Isn’t this a very miserable ending? It was okay to be stuck so far. But the problem was the future.

The fact that she had to spend the rest of her life in hiding was making her infinitely depressed.

“…Uuuu… Should I bow my head first…? Then won’t they let me live?”

Think positively.

She muttered, recalling one of the phrases she had seen in a book, then sighed in misery.

‘…That can’t be possible!’

When viewed objectively, his usefulness was sufficient. Among the living dragons, there was no individual with a higher status than himself. Is that it?

The control of some kings was still tightly held in my hands. That’s how powerful the power of domination was.

Duke of Ethan.

As long as he saves his life, there will definitely be many uses for him.

Despite this, her thoughts were guided infinitely negatively. A person who hated the dragon race. In the end, he was the one who replaced the rulers as he said.

Moreover, he was a ruler and a dragon. Even if it is included in the target of revenge he has decided, it is a status without even the slightest strangeness.

Moreover, crucially…

his usefulness could be replaced at any time. Through overwhelming ‘power’.

This is the person who killed the monarch.

Wouldn’t it be possible to conquer the southern continent at best? How much easier to get hold of the human kingdom, which is much easier than that?

In fact, if it were the power of Duke Ethan, who was known to be the strongest among humans…

Anna’s power may have been useful, but it was not to the point where she desperately wanted it.

If you put in a little effort, effort, and sacrifice, you can always achieve hegemony.

“But trying to resist… would actually be an act of suicide…”

“I know very well.”

“…!”

A shiver ran down Anna’s spine.

The voice that suddenly invaded her mind was so familiar to her that she would never forget it. I felt a cold touch on the side of my neck.

Degurr….

Her pupils began to slowly, very slowly, turn towards the nape of her neck. The cold feel of metal.

As expected, the feel was accurate. Before he knew it, a huge sword was placed next to his neck.

“How long have you been behind me?”

“Since you mentioned the shabby place?”

“….”

In fact, wasn’t he listening from the moment he started talking to himself?

It was quite a bit of time. During that time, she didn’t even notice his presence.

The last time I saw you was a long time ago.

‘…It definitely wasn’t like this back then.’

It was an incredibly fast growth rate. This difference will become increasingly wider as time passes. That meant that there would never come a day in her life when she would defeat this person.

Anna smiled bitterly.

The demon dragon and himself had a chance.

A chance to nip this monstrous human being in the bud.

But it didn’t work out that way. No, to be exact, I didn’t.

To use it here and there…

The last thing I was waiting for was a miserable ending.

Anna had powers from birth.

To her, the world was like a fun playground. Even if you don’t achieve the grand goal of having all living things bow to you… it’s okay. I have to

turn my back on that world…

and face death miserably?

With his head cut off by that sword?

Anna, who was naturally imagining that scene in her head, began to tremble. It was certain.

He didn’t want to die, as any living thing wouldn’t.

I wanted to live.

She carefully turned her head.

The duke’s face appeared. Face still as cold as usual. Seeing the nobleman holding the power over her life and death, Anna swallowed her saliva and asked.

“…are you going to kill me?”

Despite her best efforts to control her mind, her voice was trembling endlessly.

“Do you want to live?”

Huh!

Anna’s eyes widened.

Are you trying to save me?

If you consider not decapitating right away, there was at least a chance of survival.

Very carefully, as if trying not to provoke him.

she answered.

“…Yes, I want to live…yo.”

“What kind of respect?”

“…If you know the subject, you will live long.”

Now the duke and himself were no longer in a horizontal relationship. It was like a scale that was tilted to one side and completely lost its balance.

So I have no choice but to be polite.

“If you save me, the Duke will have a lot to gain. Besides… I wouldn’t be a threat to the Duke, who is close to the absolute and is now the great absolute… hehe….”

“Originally, I was thinking about killing you.”

Startle!

I could see the pupils freaking out, as if they had been hit by arrows.

control.

It was a dragon race that I had never seen in my previous life. Because there were no dragons that manipulated targets like puppets. This was the reason why Anna’s anger was smaller than that of other rulers.

A previous life in which I traveled around the battlefield for over ten years. Meanwhile, if he had continued to see Anna killing humans, his hatred would have built up.

The high utilization of her abilities was also one of the reasons for not killing her right away.

It’s not that he couldn’t replace the power he had, but it was obvious that it would be a very cumbersome process.

I wouldn’t know if there was nothing to do in the future, but that wasn’t Ethan’s situation. Promise made with Lorotia. He had to deal with the elemental lords.

To do that, it won’t be enough to just focus on training for the remaining time.

Rather than rushing around here and there to deal with insignificant people.

‘It would be better to hire an agent, or rather, a representative.’

Anna.

This guy was one of the lucky ones.

Because I avoided death.

“I’ll let you live if you accept one deal.”

“If it’s a deal…”

“Make a pact.”

“Every covenant…?”

Damn it, it’s an oath.

Anna managed to straighten her face. A ‘promise’ made through the mana that exists in the body. This promise could not be broken. No, to be precise, it was possible to violate it… but

the penalty for violating it is very, very large. It is truly a straitjacket that cannot be released.

“…Can I know the contents…?”

“Follow all my orders with utmost priority.”

It was the same as telling me to become a slave.

However, it was impossible to express the injustice. The price of that transaction would be your own life.

However, I was a bit curious about this.

“…Perhaps my body….”

“Do you want to die?”

“Of course it was a joke. “I will make a pledge…”

What I am saying is that I will use my abilities as I wish. From Anna’s perspective, there was nothing bad either. No, it was actually bad, but I had no choice but to accept it.

This is the only way to live. So, I had no choice but to hope that the life of a slave would be worth living…

and so I made a pact.

Anna was able to see sunlight for the first time in a long time.

“This is the first order.”

“Speak…yo, master.”

“…Let’s get rid of the honorifics that don’t fit.”

I felt like he had the will to flatter me somehow, but it was a bit disgusting because he looked like he was wearing clothes that didn’t fit. It could be said that the instinct for survival has turned a blind eye. That’s probably why ‘Yo’ keeps taking one step at a time.

Anna’s eyes became bright.

“Oh oh! If it’s the master’s order! “Then what is the second command?”

“Erase the existence of the church on the Western Continent.”

“Hehe, this is the perfect order for me, right? After all, you are the master!”

Anna snapped her hand.

“Now, three of the Seven are dead…and only three remain? “They were my favorite dolls…”

“It wouldn’t be worth more than your life.”

“Of course, master.”

The denomination began to quickly collapse.
