I Regressed to My Ruined Family

I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 222

#When I returned, my family was ruined (223)

“I’m talking about that test.”

―…?

At Ethan’s words, the trembling space suddenly became quiet. The round bread didn’t have any appearance to express emotions, but for some reason, it seemed like the guy was concentrating on what he was saying.

“Do I really need to get it?”

-If you do not pass my test, you will not be recognized as a master. Do you want to utilize imperfect weapons?

“Why is it incomplete? “I just need to get rid of you.”

-Get rid of me?

“You must have seen a wizard who carved circuits into your body. He is a strong man who can instantly destroy a small creature like you. “Now I have come to give you a chance.”

-opportunity?

“okay. “Your chance to survive.”

test?

Honestly, we can proceed.

But it was annoying.

The only thing you can gain by doing that is recognition from that guy. There was no need to receive recognition through a test.

“If you want to live, serve me as your master.”

-joy! If I disappear, the performance of the weapon will be greatly reduced. It will end up being a mediocre sword that doesn’t live up to Ardenheit’s reputation. Can you still get rid of me?

Humans are creatures driven by desire. The spirit inherent in Ardenheit knew that fact very well.

The fact that no matter what kind of human being he is, he cannot help but harbor desires for himself.

“I can’t understand what you’re saying. “The conversation is over.”

Ethan took out his sword. Originally, there would have been no interest in swords used by humans or anything like that.

But now, my attention was immediately focused. Especially in the handle area, not the body of the sword.

―…What is that handle made of?

Ethan didn’t answer. I just gather pure white flames onto the sword.

The spirit who saw the white burning flame opened its eyes wide.

It was because I had no idea what that person was trying to do.

Could it be that he is trying to attack himself?

Humans performed unimaginable actions.

Huh!

The great sword split the space.

Then, the space that the ego had constructed was torn apart in an instant.

―…!

no way!

-Are you planning to leave?

Step by step.

Step by step.

The sound of footsteps echoed. Humans were taking steps toward the torn space. The sound of footsteps struck the spirit’s ears like thunder.

A chill ran down my spine.

What did that person say?

“…a chance to survive.”

“…the conversation is over.”

Bangle bangle.

The words of the human I had just heard echoed in my head.

Could it be that he is trying to destroy himself after getting out of here?

Myself, who has spent hundreds of years inside this metal called Ardenheit?

‘Well… that can’t be happening.’

I knew that the wizard who engraved the circuit had great power. It would certainly be possible to destroy oneself. However, excessive white space inevitably leads to reduced performance. There is no way greedy humans would leave it alone.

I’m sure it will.

That may be true…

but what if… what if…

you destroy yourself like you said?

-…Die?

‘I?’

death.

It was a word I had never thought of. The spirit’s life was infinite, and it could not disappear unless the god’s metal, its dwelling place, was completely shattered.

However, at this moment, the spirit could not help but naturally associate death. To that extent, there was no regret in the human movement to escape from this place.

There was no desire.

No, to be precise, it would be correct to say that it didn’t seem to exist.

Just three steps.

There were only three steps left to escape this space.

-Now… wait a minute!

An urgent voice came from behind. Ethan knew how to act in times like this. I took a step without hesitation.

Two steps.

-Wait and see!

One step.

The loaf of bread that appeared in front of Ethan shouted urgently.

-Try to wait! Actually, I think I might not even need to take that test.

“Really?”

-…okay. In fact, it was not necessary to see it. It was just a formality made out of boredom.

“You made it because you were bored?”

―Still, shouldn’t we judge what kind of person the owner will be? So I tried to proceed. But now that I think about it, I don’t think it’s a necessary process.

The spirit, who kept shaking his body as if he was anxious, continued speaking.

-You have already forcibly torn away the space I had taken control of. At that level, he must be a very capable knight. If you are that kind of person, I am willing to work with you as a colleague.

“Didn’t you say it was a sense of ownership? “I didn’t come to save my colleagues.”

―It’s still a bit lacking, but… I plan to serve him as my main host. So, please think twice about leaving.

Only when you let go of your last bit of pride will you be able to perfectly control the sword.

In order to do that….

“If you intend to treat me as your master, I think you can easily change your title. “Call me master.”

―….

The spirit’s body trembled greatly.

To be honest, this person’s skills were quite good. He’s probably one of the top ten talents among countless knights.

Even so, he was not completely satisfied with his sexuality.

I can’t believe I have to obey someone like that. It was not an easy title for a noble spirit to accept.

“Do you know what I hate the most?”

-…Something?

“They are just saying things out of thin air. It looks like you have no intention of acknowledging me. “Get out of the way, I’ll get out.”

―No, it’s not like there is nothing at all…

“Even if it’s Vicky.”

The spirit’s body heated up.

If that person escaped like this, he might never be able to maintain his sanity again. The fear of extinction eventually made the spirit open its mouth.

―Lord… Master….

“I don’t think there is any sincerity in it.”

-…master! I will strive to be loyal in the future. This is the truth that I can express right now. I hope you clearly realize that I too am a living creature capable of communicating well.

I can’t understand it in words.

I think I had those words in my heart. So, I guess they are saying that the conversation is working.

Ethan nodded.

This was no different from obtaining sufficient concessions. Making a contract with a spirit and not making a contract with a spirit.

The current situation was not bad in that it was better to sign a contract if possible.

“It seems more sincere than before. So, has that sense of ownership passed?”

-That’s right. Since I have acknowledged you in my heart, it is no different from actually being my master.

“Good. Let’s get along well from now on.”

-That’s right.

“Does it have a name?”

-There is nothing like that in particular.

Even though I have been to the outside world many times, this was the first time I came face to face with intelligent life. So there was no way it had a name. Because a name is one of the words that promise what to call something in social space.

“Let’s use bread.”

―…Bread?

“okay. Because you look just like bread.

―Are you talking about the round food that humans eat?

“okay.”

―….

“You don’t like it?”

―No, I just thought I would be given a cooler name…

“Is there anything special about a name? A word that is easy to sing and has a positive feel is enough.”

―…I understand, master.

The moment I gave it that name, white light burst out from the spirit’s body. The light enveloped not only the spirit but also Ethan’s body.

-At least until you close your eyes, no knight will be able to deal with me.

“okay.”

―Anyway, I have one question…

“What is it?”

―The sword used by its owner. Are you thinking of recycling?

“Only the handle.”

-Oh oh!

Bbangi cheered.

From the moment the owner first appeared, the area that caught my eye the most was the area around the handle of the sword. A handle that appears to be made of wood.

I wasn’t sure what the tree was, but one thing was certain. I could feel the powerful power of harmony in the handle, to the point where I was completely taken with it. The sword body and handle are inseparable parts. In that sense, it was no different from having a soulmate.

“Is it that good?”

―How should I explain this… Yes, you can think of it as a gift given to a human being, the softest bed. It’s a bed that performs so well that you fall asleep right away as soon as you lay down on it.

“You don’t really mean to sleep, do you?”

– That’s what it says. To me, human desires are just very useless things. Typical examples include things like appetite, sex drive, and desire to sleep. So the owner won’t have to worry about that.

After finishing the conversation, Ethan left the mental world and returned to reality.

* * *

[Did you pass the test?]

“Yes.”

[That’s amazing. It seems like you have a very proud ego. Can you tell me what the content of the test was?]

“I just wanted to come out.”

[…Yes?]

“I told him I would just get rid of him instead of doing the test or something, and he voluntarily swore obedience.”

[…Huh.]

The leader let out an exclamation.

[Does the sword self also have a desire for survival?]

“It seemed like that.”

[That’s amazing. Well, even if it is a mental aggregate, it still has thoughts and concepts… so there can definitely be a desire for survival. I passed the test without even taking the test as a way to penetrate that desire… I never thought there would be such an ingenious method.] It

seemed like he would mumble endlessly if I left him alone, so I had no choice but to intervene.

“Shouldn’t we go now?”

[this. “Aren’t you trying to dismiss me too mercilessly because I’ve done my best?”

“Didn’t you say you were busy?”

[That’s right.]

Soon, the religious leader who had a conversation with the monarch took steps toward inside the portal.

One last time before leaving.

[Oh. Congratulations. Your power will increase significantly.]

I left a meaningful note.

I could understand the meaning of those words right away. Ilya. Because her pupils had lost focus.

Sometimes, I just absentmindedly stretch my hand out into the air and move my hand as if drawing a magic circle.

‘…no way.’

Is it enlightenment?

No matter how I looked at it, it seemed like I had fallen into a swamp of enlightenment.

If you focus that intensely, your pupils will remain unfocused for a while. It was best to leave it alone.

Four days passed like that.

The process of melting the sword body on the handle of the World Tree and attaching a new sword body continued.

Perhaps because the best blacksmith was in charge of the production, the removal and attachment of the sword body went smoothly.

It was the same with Illya’s realization. After staring blankly into space for four days, an intense light burst from her eyes.

“Huh!”

She sighed as if she were screaming and looked around. Immediately, life came back to her eyes, as if a memory came to her.

Nine, not eight.

It was the number of circles created in her heart.

As soon as I felt it…

“Duke! “This body has grown!”

Ilya quickly ran towards Ethan. With sparkling eyes, as if expecting praise.
