I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 68
＃When he returned, his family was ruined (69)
A lion sweeping through a flock of sheep.
The wounds on the lion’s body were clearly increasing.
However, as the number of wounds on his body increased, the number of victims increased.
The moment the flaming greatsword passed by.
The fifth knight’s neck rose toward the sky.
‘crazy!’
What kind of being are the knights gathered here?
They are elites who secretly trained those with outstanding talent in the count family.
Not only did they all reach the level of 6 stars, but they also actively accepted the techniques of the Yongin tribe and even possessed subversive swordsmanship.
These are talented people who will quickly gain the upper hand even if they face off against a decent 6-star knight.
They were talented people who should never have died in vain like that.
Jarid and Pons.
The two men stabbed the Archduke with gritted teeth.
Each of them was a sword strike aimed at fatal bleeding.
The remaining three knights stubbornly blocked the Archduke’s movements.
Phew!
I dodged one sword strike, but I couldn’t dodge the second sword strike. A long sword wound appeared on my chest.
Even though the wound was enough to make anyone scream in pain, there was no change in Ethan’s face.
As if it were natural.
He grabbed one of the knights by the neck.
“Kah…Kahahah…!”
Wow!
I just broke it.
“four.”
“…!”
The knights were shocked by the Grand Duke’s words.
four.
As the number of people decreased from ten to one, the Archduke was reciting numbers one by one. Fear slowly began to tighten the hearts of the knights.
Even Jaried, a knight who had experienced all kinds of hardships, was on the verge of turning pale.
‘How…how could that be possible?’
The Archduke’s appearance was very strange. This person lived in bed for ten years.
And that too in a coma.
How much would a person like that have experienced in real combat?
We have seen many young and talented people. I thought the Archduke would be one of those talented people.
However, there was a crucial difference between him and the later exponents.
‘a look.’
Whether blood flows or not.
Those emotionless eyes that don’t seem to feel any emotion at all.
The Archduke was like an undead who knew no fear.
I am only nineteen years old.
Is it really possible to look like that?
The sight of him breaking the necks of the knights one by one with an expressionless face was enough to make even Jarid feel creepy.
Predator and prey.
When I approached the Archduke, I thought he would definitely be the latter.
But no.
Who is the predator in this place?
Everyone was vaguely realizing it. Before we knew it, the knights’ purpose had long since completely changed from hunting to survival.
Knights whose eyes are wide open and whose necks are bent every time they are grabbed.
The discipline that bound the knights was becoming increasingly blurred.
This was especially true in the current situation where there were only four out of ten people left.
The hand holding the sword trembled.
A beleaguered situation.
The thought of death getting closer and closer made me break into a cold sweat.
‘…Can you really kill the author?’
Archduke.
His entire body was covered in blood.
little bit more.
I felt like I could hunt a wild beast if I pushed just a little harder.
But what is truly scary is.
Even when there were eight people left and even when there were seven left.
And even when there were only four people left, the same thoughts kept coming to mind.
The Archduke smiled quietly and rushed towards the knights.
Knight Commander and Deputy Knight Commander.
The two were not easy people.
Therefore, Ethan’s goal is.
They were two knights who were starting to shake their eyes as they saw him approaching.
“Gomern! Raise your sword…!”
Gomern, who was looking at the Archduke with his hands trembling, hurriedly raised his sword. However, if there is one thing that is unfortunate about the driver.
Ethan was a predator who knew very well how to push his scared prey.
It was a blow that seemed heavy.
However, Gomern’s hand that clashed with the great sword did not convey much force.
‘Oh my gosh…!’
It was not the great sword that was responsible for the proper attack. The gauntlet is starting to wrap around my hand like a poisonous snake!
The gauntlet reached his neck in an instant. The three remaining knights hurriedly stabbed the Archduke in the back.
However, this was a delayed reaction.
The price was terrible.
Pop!
Because the knight’s neck was broken in one fell swoop. Three swords belatedly grazed his body.
Blood rushed out.
Nevertheless, Ethan just calmly stepped back and looked at the three people.
“three.”
“….”
Knight Commander and Deputy Knight Commander.
Other than that, all the knights faced death.
The lone ordinary knight, Li Han, trembled.
The Grand Duke was openly chewing up the weak and swallowing them up.
The beast’s next target will be itself.
‘Damn it!’
My body was shaking.
It was that moment.
“Hmm. Are you still fighting?”
A girl’s voice came from somewhere. The knights turned their necks towards the source of the voice.
Immediately, his expression became distorted.
The girl I saw earlier.
In the girl’s hands was a limp bishop.
The bishop’s defeat!
It was a result I didn’t want to imagine.
It was then.
“Ugh!”
Rihan, completely consumed by fear, screamed and rushed towards the girl.
‘If only I killed that bitch!’
Even if the worst happens, we will be able to get out of here.
Rather than attacking the archduke, it would have been better to stab that kid.
A knight charging forward with his entire body covered in blood. Ilya frowned when she saw that.
“What is this again?”
That was the moment she snapped her fingers. A lump of shaped mana rushed towards the knight.
Pow!
With a massive explosion, the knight flew into the sky as if it were a paper airplane.
thud!
Rihan started to slip after hitting the wall of mana.
There was no more life in his eyes.
“….”
Jarid and Pons.
The two knights gulped at the sight. An excruciating silence was encroaching inside the magic circle.
Ilya looked at Ethan.
And that too with a very proud expression on his face.
“It is not polite for a gentleman to keep a lady waiting too long.”
Ethan answered with a grin.
“It will be over soon.”
He rushed towards the two remaining knights. Due to the bishop’s defeat, the will to fight was completely broken. The scale was already completely tilted to one side.
* * *
“Whoa.”
Ethan took a deep breath.
In front of him were full of dead people with their heads missing.
Among them were Jarid and Pons.
“It’s finally over.”
Ilya raised the wand while looking at Ethan.
[The power of healing.]
It was a very simple casting.
However, the effect was not simple. Because my entire body, covered in blood, was slowly starting to recover.
There were no major injuries other than a little bit of blood, so if I left it alone, the wound would heal on its own.
It was best to recover quickly if possible. Ethan said while looking at Ilia.
“thanks.”
“hmm! hmm!”
Ilya cleared her throat.
A situation in which the archduke captured the bishop, who he called a ‘little guy’ but was actually a pretty good guy.
It was truly a great performance.
‘no way.’
Isn’t that all there is to say?
She looked at the Archduke with sparkling eyes.
It was a very blatant look.
Ethan turned to face Ilya.
It was a staring gaze, like a cat leaving a fish in its hands.
It was clear what I wanted.
compliment. Do it.
It felt as if letters were written on my left and right pupils.
It was the moment when Ethan was about to speak.
“Ugh….”
A groan was heard.
bishop.
The guy was looking around with his eyes open.
Ilya’s eyes narrowed.
That damn bastard!
If only I had been a little longer, I would have been able to receive the Archduke’s praise.
Earning praise.
That moment was just around the corner!
Ethan’s attention was already turned to the bishop. If you are at the bishop level, you probably know a lot of information.
Of course, I had to get information from him.
It was then.
“Hehehe…”
Eric laughed and coughed out blood.
“Really… this is something I didn’t even expect. I was accompanying a crafting mage… Cough! Plus… a mage… would never have thought that he could change his appearance at will without even using mana…”
“Where is the Archbishop located?”
“Hehe… Enjoy your victory to the fullest. “It won’t last long, so shouldn’t we do it now?”
Eric said with a hearty smile.
It was the moment I grabbed the guy by the collar.
Ethan wrinkled his face.
‘…Phase shift?’
Phase transition.
It was one of the techniques used by the high-ranking members of the dragon race.
The effect was simple.
Movement through space and complete recovery of the body.
In a situation where phase transfer was in progress, even a transcendental person could not kill the target.
This was because it showed tremendous resilience, to the point where it could reattach itself even if its head was cut off.
Eric frowned.
This was the first time I had witnessed humans using phase shift.
“Hehehe… Even if you catch me, it won’t do any good.”
Ilya’s expression suddenly hardened. This is because a huge amount of mana was gathering around the bishop.
A magic circle appeared around Eric’s body. A magic circle made up of such high-level formulas that even Illya could not easily break it.
It was a magic circle that could not even be compared to the prison circle I saw earlier.
She urgently fired a magic bullet.
Eric’s limbs exploded after being hit by a magic bullet. However, his body was rapidly growing again, as if it were slime.
“What the…!”
“Hehe… I never thought the transfer stone would be used in a place like this. “The loss is truly great.”
Eric smiled bitterly.
Even among high-ranking officials above the bishop level, Jeon Yi-seok is the only one that can be obtained with exceptional merit.
I never thought I would use an item that I had kept like a treasure for more than five years in a place like this!
‘…But it’s still better than dying.’
No matter how precious a treasure is, it is not more precious than life.
The moment to return to the church.
The information about the Archduke was delivered straight to the Archbishop…
That was that moment.
The Archduke grabbed Eric’s head by the chin. A huge amount of fiery mana began to pour into the bishop’s brain.
“Kwaaaak!”
The bishop screamed in pain as his brain was completely burned.
Ethan paid no heed and continued to pour out mana.
Phase transition.
I knew this very well. And he was also aware of the weaknesses of phase transition.
‘If you burn your brain.’
That one is also being restored.
However, during the recovery process, all of his life’s memories and information were mixed up, making him an idiot.
One of the proverbs passed down from my past life.
If there is an entity that uses phase shift, make sure to completely crush its brain before it disappears.
It was a proverb that I still remember vividly. Ethan was following that maxim very faithfully.
The bishop, who was screaming, slowly began to drool from the corner of his mouth.
“Hehe…”
The guy’s body was slowly fading away. Soon after, his new model completely disappeared.
“….”
Ilya, who was silent for a moment, pursed her lips.
Immediately, he lowered his head.
He looked completely glum.
“Good job.”
“…huh?”
“You can’t stop this anyway. Not only you, but other wizards as well. So you don’t have to feel guilty.”
Ilya did his job well.
It was the moment Ethan finished speaking.
The corner of Ilya’s mouth twitched.
Soon she straightened her chest and looked at Ethan.
“hmm! “You also fought quite well.”
“…Uh, yeah.”
Elena.
There was one thing I learned from the archduke’s older sister.
That is, people should live by helping each other.
Mutual aid.
At this moment, Ilya was putting the knowledge she had learned into practice.
* * *
The heart of the denomination.
Bishop Eric appeared there.
“Hehe…”
My body was fine, but my mind was completely gone.
This news reached the archbishop located in the Kingdom of Heidern in an instant.
