I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 322
?When I returned, my family was ruined (322)
Apraxia, the capital of the Dragon Clan.
The capital city was so quiet that it was impossible to imagine its usual lively atmosphere.
The reason was simple.
This was due to changes that occurred in the royal castle, which had been quiet for several years.
Huge explosion sound and vibration. Not only that, but there is also an unknown energy that makes my instincts fearful.
It was spreading beyond the ninth palace, the monarch’s residence, to all palaces.
Not even the precious minerals that the slaves of the Southern Continent worked hard to sacrifice, nor the chandeliers studded with hundreds of diamonds, nor even the strong and tall castle walls could withstand the aftermath.
The palace of Apraxia, which had maintained a strong momentum for decades, was crumbling like salt sprinkled with water.
Something is happening!
It was a fact worth noting even if you were ignorant.
However, the ordinary dragons did not even dare to look at the royal castle. In fact, it is the residence of a monarch who enjoys god-like power.
There was no way that they would be safe if an incident occurred there. This is a situation where even flying birds have to be careful.
Everyone held their breath.
Of course, not everyone held their breath.
‘It’s treason!’
‘Demon dragon!’
Balaur knights were located throughout the palace. They clearly remembered the scene they had seen a moment ago.
Ninth Palace.
The appearance of the demon dragon that entered there.
Since this chaos broke out, it was not difficult to guess what was going on. The demon dragon took out a sword. Also to my master.
The knights were easily convinced.
They themselves show endless loyalty to their monarch, but would even the Demon Dragon, one of the six rulers, do the same?
Even in a situation where they achieved a major victory over Ardan’s army, which had been winning consecutive battles recently.
‘Probably not.’
There was a tendency for me to become greedy.
Lord Draksis has not been seen for a very long time. At this point, it wasn’t strange to think there was something wrong. The demon dragon would not have missed that opportunity.
Several knights of the royal guard, who were both loyal and impatient, began to run towards the ninth palace.
That curious behavior was rewarded with results. As a result, the entire body is torn apart into pieces of flesh.
Monarch and Demon Dragon.
The intangible momentum of the two cut them off like bugs caught in a spider’s web. Only the knights who had acted more calmly stopped in shock.
Only then did the knights realize.
That this is a situation they cannot do anything about.
A royal knight, a position that only a few among the dragon race who are recognized for their innate dragon power can rise to. Those royal knights were torn apart without even being able to approach. What on earth are we supposed to do here?
Even in the royal castle, except for a very small number of people, there would be no one who could intervene in the battlefield between the two.
It was a fight between beings they could not even imagine.
In the end, the only people left in the capital city, which turned into a land of death, were some high-ranking dragons. Even they did not dare enter and were waiting for the situation to calm down.
There was a sense of helplessness that they could not do anything about their silence, but there was also another reason.
That was faith in the monarch. Even if he stayed in seclusion for a long time, a monarch was still a monarch. Master of all dragons and ruler of the southern continent.
Of course, I knew that the Demon Dragon’s divine power was outstanding.
‘Yes, even if I do…’
‘It won’t work for the monarch.’
It was inevitable that this thought would lie behind it. For them, the monarch was a being no different from a god.
A battle that I thought would end soon.
However, the remaining knights began to realize that the situation was going differently than expected. This was because the momentum spreading from the Ninth Palace became stronger as time passed. So much so that even they have no choice but to retreat helplessly.
And soon, when the ferocious energy that had destroyed the palace lost its strength, the knights had no choice but to rub their eyes.
It was because of the human walking calmly out of the ninth palace.
A human holding a huge sword.
The figure looked exactly like a human being that I had seen and heard hundreds of times in montages. A human knight and head of Ardan who cuts off the heads of top dragons like radish.
Ethan Ardan.
The situation was just right.
Unless someone had that much power, they wouldn’t be able to calmly walk out of a place that was like a battlefield just a moment ago.
A leisurely gait as if out for a walk. Several knights closed the distance like lightning.
It was to condemn those who dared to pollute the sacred land with their earthen feet. However, before he could take a few steps, a large fountain of blood burst out.
The knights of the royal guard were killed in droves without being able to deliver a single proper sword strike.
Hesitating….
The dragons step back as if they are scared. Ethan started to leave the palace very calmly. It wasn’t that there were dragons who occasionally rushed in without even knowing the subject, but the results were all the same.
Death was given equally to everyone.
Only the three people waiting outside the palace were able to approach his street. Black Socialist Decal swallowed his saliva and looked at Ethan. The head of the family proudly appears with her royal castle half pulverized.
I had no choice but to instinctively understand what this meant.
However, it was such an amazing achievement that I couldn’t help but ask questions. Because I couldn’t believe it.
“…Patriarch, no way….”
“The dragonlord is dead. The same goes for the Demon Dragon.”
“…Whew, even though I was seeing the capital with my own eyes, the results are unbelievable.”
Demon dragon and dragonlord.
Both of them were nothing short of a terrible disaster for humans. I can’t help but believe that they hunted such monsters while looking so fine.
Decal wasn’t the only one surprised by those words. Because Theron and Ysera’s reactions were the same. After the surprise, praise and congratulations poured in.
Probably not only these three people but most of the people of the Western Continent would have a similar reaction.
“My business here is over. So let’s go back.”
The three people nodded willingly. Since they were not in a low position, their judgment of the situation was quick. It will be difficult for the dragon race that has lost its head to unite again.
Now it was time to head to the West Continent.
* * *
The entire Western Continent was engulfed in a strange heat. This was because shocking news was delivered.
The dragonlord is dead!
Most of the people cheered. They remembered past invasions. Ardan was a breakwater and did not suffer much damage, but even so, there was no reason to like the dragons who chewed humans to death like killing rats.
So I have no choice but to like it.
Of course, some citizens of countries actively cooperating with the dragons frowned at the news, but in general, they were only a minority.
Nobility and royalty.
Those with wealth and noble status had their eyes shining. They had a good understanding of how the country called Dragonia was formed. Not all dragons were the same.
Just like the tribes of the grasslands, they were made up of subdivided races, and it was the overwhelming power of the dragon lord that allowed the scattered dragon tribes to be united.
That central point has disappeared.
Soon the Southern Continent will be engulfed in telephone calls. Since ancient times, war
has been one of the events that enriched the richest people the most. So I have no choice but to make my eyes shine. On the contrary, in addition to the greedy eyes, there were also those who showed signs of concern.
These were the countries that actively cooperated with the Dragon tribe. They also knew about the war declared by Heidern. In fact, the war was led by Ardan.
When war was first declared, I couldn’t help but laugh.
Even Ardan, who has been able to fly from running these days, would not dare to conquer the Southern Continent.
The army dragged along was so small that it made you laugh. 30,000 at most. It was also an army made up entirely of humans.
It was common sense that one ordinary dragon soldier could take on five human infantry. Moreover, what was the total military force in the Southern Continent?
It will easily exceed 100,000. Even if you calculate it mathematically, it seems that at least 500,000 human infantrymen are needed. This was a number that even the Zeno Empire could not easily gather.
So, there is no choice but to laugh.
There were times when the ridicule disappeared. It was because of the news of Ardan’s victory that kept coming. It is said that thanks to the peacock’s divine power that reached the sky, the dragon army that was several times larger was defeated.
Even so, it never occurred to me that even the capital would be breached. Actually, that prediction came true. The 30,000-strong army fought hard, but was ultimately defeated.
I heard that even the duke acknowledged defeat and returned to Heidern. They were the ones who looked at Heidern like a wild cat craving a piece of rotten meat.
Perhaps, if only ten days had passed quietly, they would have completely reorganized their forces and drawn their swords at Heidern. At that moment, the news of victory arrived. That’s an incredible victory report.
The duke killed it.
Dragonlord Draksis.
And that too by infiltrating the capital Apraxia with a very small number of people.
In other words…
it was like saying that no human in the Western Continent could avoid the Duke’s sword.
Even the famous dragonlord lost his head, so what can they do about it?
If Duke Ethan had his way, they would be as good as dead. So, I have no choice but to spend my time quietly as if I were dead.
The magnates said:
Now, the order of the Western Continent will no longer be led by the Zeno Empire. Ardan, the best swordsman on the continent, will become the new order.
No one could refute this statement.
A Duke known as the Transcendant.
However, not all transcendents are the same. If it was the duke who cut off the dragonlord’s head, it was one of two things.
Either he will soon overcome the wall of transcendence, or…
he will already be a monster called the ‘Absolute One’.
A level known to be unreachable by humans. However, it was different for Duke Ethan. He could reach it, or he would have already reached it.
If you had that much power, it wouldn’t be strange to go to war alone. Especially in countries that were in league with the dragon tribe, it was not strange for the duke to take out a sword.
Because the dragon race was no different from his enemies. Naturally, everyone started watching Ardan. If Duke Ethan takes even a single step outside the territory, he will be so focused that evil rumors will spread throughout the continent.
But Ardan was just passing the time very quietly. Only the intelligence unit moved day and night. Even Ethan was secretly leaving the territory and searching all over the continent.
The reason was simple.
To find Anna.
As soon as the demon dragon died, Anna, the sole ruler, seemed to have hid herself, and not even her hair was visible. But the boring game of hide and seek did not last long.
A state of approaching absoluteness.
As if that wasn’t enough, his mood expanded beyond imagination after being covered by the advent of Lorotia. As if that wasn’t enough, Ethan had an innate ability to control mana from the beginning. There was no way Anna, whose level was much lower than that, could avoid that feeling.
Third month of exploration.
“I found it.”
The predator has found its prey.
