I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 8

＃When I returned, my family was ruined (8)

Wow!

With the cheerful sound of a wooden sword, one of the gangsters collapsed again, foaming at the mouth.

“Holy shit! “What are you doing?”

“Get out of my way, you bastard!”

Surrounding one person in a small space meant that movement itself became very narrow.

Myers used his wooden sword and wooden shield to hit the enemy’s head whenever he found an opportunity.

Of course, the attack did not continue without any injuries.

There was a small dagger stuck in his side, and not only that, there were traces of being beaten with a club all over his body.

Ethan crossed his arms and watched the guy fight.

‘You’re better than I thought.’

The number of thugs he had defeated was already well over ten.

A crude wooden shield.

Considering that he was not wearing any equipment other than a wooden sword, it was a remarkable save.

Just a few days ago, this guy’s skills were so poor that he couldn’t even be called a knight.

but now?

He looked quite like a knight.

In particular, his skill in using the shield was quite good. If we were to purely examine shield skills, he felt like an experienced soldier who had devoted himself to training for more than a year.

‘He has bold judgment and some guts.’

When a dagger pierced my side.

If you had moved quickly to avoid it, you would have received more attacks. Instead of dodging the dagger, Myers chose to just get hit.

In Ethan’s opinion, it was a decision close to the best, if not the best.

‘If this battle is completed successfully…’

I thought it would be okay to deploy slightly stronger guys as actual opponents in the future.

While watching Myers’ battle like that.

Hans, who was observing the battle just like Ethan, stuck out his tongue.

‘What a terrible human being.’

Archduke.

He was a truly heartless man.

Even if I just think about the scene that happened three minutes ago, it was like that.

A gangster plunged a dagger into my brother’s side.

‘You just watch that with your arms crossed?’

Not only did he look without blinking, but he was even nodding his head to my surprise.

It’s as if you hit the sword well. To be honest, Hans thought that the Archduke would be even slightly agitated when the dagger approached.

‘It was a wild idea.’

It was a truly absurd story.

Hans trembled.

This was actual training, but it was no different from driving my younger brother to death.

It was when Hans was lost in thought.

“how is it?”

“Hey! It seems like the youngest Confucius is truly amazing! In fact, it hasn’t been that long since the youngest Confucius took up the shield, right?”

“yes.”

“I remember it’s been less than a week, but I can’t believe I’m not even the slightest bit behind against those vicious scoundrels! Big! “I think he is a descendant of a great heroic family!”

Ethan nodded in satisfaction. Certainly, lineage is something you are born with. In this regard, my thoughts were no different from that of Hans.

A few gangsters frowned grimly at the conversation between the two.

Right now, my companions are falling to the ground with that big guy’s wooden sword, but these so-called companions are just leisurely praising me!

It felt like I wanted to turn the blade of the dagger in that direction.

The reason I couldn’t do that was because some of my colleagues were stuck against the wall and couldn’t open their eyes.

It was that moment.

“What kind of person is persecuting our Red Scorpion brothers!”

A loud voice echoed from above.

It was a voice full of mana.

Myers and the gangsters who were fighting on the first floor flinched.

Ethan’s eyes sparkled with interest.

‘Manara.’

In order to use mana to increase your voice, you first had to resonate the mana hole.

In terms of knighthood, it is a feat that can only be performed if you have a 1-star rating or above.

At best, it could be said that he was pretty good for a gangster hanging out in the village.

There was a significant difference in level between a strong gangster and a one-star knight with mana knowledge.

Strong footsteps were heard from upstairs. Soon, a large man came down the stairs.

red scorpion.

Wirdan, the head of this place, quickly called in one of the personnel on the first floor.

“What is that guy?”

“This is the one my little brother was working on.”

“The youngest of the duke family?”

“yes.”

“Then it couldn’t be that guy…”

Wirdan looked at the thin man.

A few days ago, Alfonso, one of the Red Scorpion’s action leaders, returned with his limbs shattered.

“Big brother… the Archduke is really… a monster.”

The guy’s eyes were completely filled with fear. It was a look in his eyes that he did not show even when looking at himself.

‘The Archduke.’

Wirdan quietly opened his eyes.

Did you say that following Alfonso, he turned his gang into half-assholes just by punching them?

That was something Wirdan could do, but even considering that, it was better not to clash right now.

‘Even if I handle it… it will be after consulting with the Baron.’

Baron Helmut.

First, I had to try to contact the ruler who was ruling this area.

That way, even if we fix that arrogant guy, we’ll be able to somehow put the blame on someone else.

Wirdan said while looking at the Archduke.

“I was wondering who turned my beloved younger brother into an asshole… and it was you?”

“I know.”

“Whew. I am truly sorry about what happened to the youngest Confucius. So, please leave now.”

Did you say that if a person is so absurd, they can’t even laugh?

Ethan felt exactly like that.

This guy, who I would never have dared to even make eye contact with in a previous life, is running his mouth pretending to be kind to me.

“brother! how will we do it? “Can I stick with that guy?”

“You just have to keep taking care of those guys.”

The mana-using thug was too much for Myers to deal with right now. Because he was now in the process of emptying his mana.

“Archduke, do you really have to do this? “If you keep doing this, I won’t stay silent!”

“Like that.”

Ethan walked out.

The essence of fire located on my wrist slowly began to heat up.

Mana like flames bloomed in my hands. Wirdan’s face hardened at that sight.

‘Mana burns like that?’

He had also heard of mana that looked like that.

―The mana of a master swordsman is like a dark red flame.

The mana known to be used by dukedom heads was exactly like that.

The color was not as dark red as the phrase I heard, but the burning sensation was the same.

Still, I couldn’t back out now.

If I curl up here now, I’ll never be able to come back.

“Whoa.”

The mana that flowed from Wirdan’s mana hole began to wrap around both arms.

It was that moment.

“hey.”

“…?”

“Who did you learn that mana breathing technique from?”

“Is there any reason for me to tell you that?”

“There will be.”

Ethan rushed over.

Wirdan immediately threw a punch. The fist filled with mana was instantly aimed at Ethan’s face.

Whoosh!

Black hair fluttered with a light crackle. After I finished dodging with minimal movement, I immediately grabbed the guy’s joints.

This time, there was no need to break my arm ignorantly.

Because the mana that flowed from the essence of fire penetrated into Wirdan’s arms.

‘Ugh!’

Wirdan frowned, feeling as if the inside of his arm was on fire.

It was a terrible fire.

He hurriedly used mana to block the fire. However, mana like fire did not subside easily.

Rather, it was growing in size by eating its own mana.

‘shit!’

A short distance that can be reached immediately when you exhale.

The two people made eye contact and started throwing blows as if they had made a promise.

However…

the sound of the hitting was only heard from one side.

“Wow!”

Blood poured out from the corner of Wirdan’s mouth. The blows of power poured down like a shower, striking my entire body mercilessly. Every time that happened, my bones ached beyond my muscles.

From the control of mana to the speed and explosive power, it was on a completely different level from mine.

Moreover, the Archduke was moving one step ahead as if he had read his actions.

The fist hit the joint exactly and broke the bone little by little.

It was an incredible pain.

thud!

Not even a minute has passed since we exchanged fists.

Wirdan collapsed.

“Mi crazy! “Big brother!”

“Eldest brother…!”

“Where are you looking, you bastards!”

Bah!

Myers began to run wild, like a wolf among rabbits.

The morale of the gangsters who had lost their leader was already at its lowest point. One by one, they fell to the floor.

The remaining members fled upstairs and the battle entered a lull.

“Shall we sort it out, Grand Duke?”

“okay.”

Soon Hans began searching the arms of the fallen gangsters.

Meanwhile, Ethan approached the leader.

“hey.”

“Cough!”

“Who did you learn from? “It looks like he even learned martial arts by stealing it.”

“….”

My mouth was quite heavy on the topic of gangsters.

Ethan grabbed the guy’s wrist.

If you don’t want to say something, just make him want to say it and that’s it.

I breathed mana into my bony hands.

The fiery mana penetrated into the guy’s body.

“Kwaaaaaak!”

Fear slowly filled the eyes of Wirdan, who was screaming in pain.

This was because the mana that began to burn brightly moved towards his mana hole.

Broken bones can be put back together someday.

But what if the mana hole is completely cooked?

I had no choice but to lose everything.

He shouted urgently.

“Stop that!”

“Start with the answer.”

“Baron Ka Kargath! “It was taught to me there!”

Ha…

Baron Kargath.

The more I look at them, the more I dislike them.

It’s not enough to treat the direct lineage poorly when dealing with collateral…

‘They even dared to steal breathing techniques and martial arts techniques.’

The breathing and martial arts techniques learned by the duke’s knights are being spread to these scum.

This was knowledge that could only be learned by trainee knights who had passed the family’s rigorous examination.

He looked at Wirdan.

The crime of touching something that should not be coveted.

The sin was heavy.

It’s time for punishment.

It was the moment when Ethan was trying to infuse more mana. Hans rushed over and looked at Wirdan.

“hey! Where is the secret safe?”

“What… what?”

“How can this bastard pretend not to know! There’s a rumor going around about how much kickback you took in addition to the down payment! “Where’s the safe?”

“….”

Hans said immediately, rubbing his hands together.

“lol. Grand Duke, this guy is a very vicious criminal. “It is widely rumored that he has dabbled in entertainment and gambling, as well as drugs and, more recently, contract killings.”

“okay?”

“Yeah. Since he is such a vicious guy, he must have saved a lot of money. “If you leave it to me, I will make sure to find the money.”

Ethan nodded.

Soon, a small pouch popped out from within Hans’ arms.

When I opened my pocket, I saw it was full of tools.

Hammer, awl, nail tongs, etc.

It looked like it had been taken care of very frugally. Wirdan’s eyelids fluttered at the sight.

Thanks to his broken limbs, all he could do was shake his body violently.

“Stay still, you bastard! Grand Duke! “If you’ll just look around for a moment, I’ll be there right away.”

“Sure.”

Myers was left by Hans’ side. It was to prepare for an unexpected accident.

While I was looking upstairs for a moment, the screams that were echoing downstairs gradually quieted down.

Soon, two people approached with the sound of cheerful footsteps.

“I found it! “After entering the office on the third floor…”

He opened the office door and began rummaging under the desk.

After finding the small box, I immediately put the key in it.

Click!

The box was opened.

“Hee hee! Diamonds?! Plus rubies and sapphires…!”

Hans’ eyes sparkled when he saw the jewel.

Just looking at the size of it, it seemed like the price would be quite high.

But what caught his attention was something other than jewelry.

‘Ohh.’

When he saw the items in the box, his eyes lit up.
