Chapter 268
I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 268
#When I returned, my family was ruined (269)
The night was so dark that I couldn’t even see an inch in front of me. The moon wasn’t even up in the sky. Shadows swayed through the dark forest.
Theron looked around.
So many years have passed since I was manipulated by those damn warlocks. If it weren’t for my eldest brother, I would never have been able to escape from their clutches. When I first left my family.
At that time, all I could think about was how to bring Ardan’s name to light again.
My intention was to do well.
Even though the results were so tragic that I couldn’t tell anyone about them. I thought I would take my eldest brother’s vacancy.
But before he knew it, Ethan appeared in front of him in an appearance more suited to the position of duke than anyone else.
As soon as I woke up and saw my eldest brother’s face, I thought: He said that he would no longer be needed by Ardan. Rather, it was just a shame to the family. That’s why I tried to leave the duchy.
My eldest brother held me back like that. After that, busy days followed. I was introduced to the Black Socialist Decal and began to recover by learning the given elixir and training book.
Theron’s resolve was strong. I will live for Ardan all my life. Even if it results in being active in the shadows for the rest of your life.
Is it because of that decision? While training, Theron was able to find out one thing. His talent is closer to that of an assassin rather than that of a knight. As the body had been suffocated by black magic and negative emotions for a long time, the source itself may have changed that much.
Ilya’s care and regular training, including precious elixirs that are known to be good for the body. Even when he was consumed by black magic in the past, he reached the level of the 8th rank.
Due to my eldest brother’s flames, the emotions and magic that had been encroaching on my body disappeared, and most of my mana was gone.
Rather, is it because everything has been emptied? The growth rate was bizarrely fast. After one month of training, I was able to win against elite secret agents, and after two months, I was no longer defeated by executives.
After three months…
it was even possible to take the sword of Dekal, the head of all undercover agents, without difficulty. Considering that his sword skills were difficult to deal with even for knights who were said to be 9th rank superhumans, his growth was remarkable.
Afterwards, he continued his training more quietly than anyone else. And soon I was able to receive a mission.
A huge task given to all undercover agents. That was to hunt down the large dragons that were about to invade the duchy.
‘I said they were close to assassins.’
According to the information Dekal gave, they were called Shadow Cultists. Its special feature was that it made its metabolism uncannily slow, allowing it to completely erase its presence and launch a surprise attack from behind the opponent’s shadow.
Afterwards, through thorough meditation, I planned how to deal with them. What if you don’t notice it? So what if you get ambushed from behind?
Or on the contrary, what should I do if I find them first?
How should we kill them to minimize the damage to Ardan?
My head continued to calmly calculate. It wasn’t until she felt like she was perfect that Theron began to go stealth.
‘B-8.’
It was an area expected to be one of their main raid routes. Its characteristic feature is that it is a mountain range with a babbling river. After crossing the river, you could immediately go to the big city of Hermes.
Since they will try to save the tomb of surprise, they will definitely attempt to cross the river. Theron stroked the blade in his arms.
Ten minutes.
Twenty minutes.
Time passed in vain.
For Theron, who had been trained to become an elite agent, waiting was just one of the elements that now felt familiar.
The body is comfortable. But my senses are sharper than ever. Theron was doing it perfectly.
Is it thanks to that effort? Theron looked at his arm. The fur was sticking up like a hedgehog with its thorns standing on guard.
‘You’re here.’
There were two main types of behavior. After assessing their size, if it is difficult to deal with them, immediately call in reinforcements, or else, annihilate the entire enemy squad single-handedly.
Not all agents behaved like this. In nine cases out of ten, the goal was to convey information immediately. It is only an authority he can receive because he is an executive and has been recognized by Dekal, the owner of the company.
Slurp.
Slurp.
Waves spread through the river. No matter how perfectly you hide your presence, you cannot erase its waves, even in a space called underwater.
‘That’s a lot.’
The number was close to fifty. The level was also formidable. At most, since they are trying to wreak havoc on a large city with that number, they will all be made up of only elites.
In particular, the dragon race that was advancing at the fastest speed at the front was such that even Theron could not easily detect its presence. Regardless of his race, he was definitely a strong man with a certain level of status.
‘Which is more advantageous?’
In a battle between assassin and assassin, the one who sensed the other’s presence first had an overwhelming advantage. Even though there were a lot of people out there, it wasn’t like he didn’t have any weapons. Theron, who was promoted to one of the executives, had numerous artifacts given to him by the black society.
A magical bomb that absorbs all the surrounding air and explodes.
A colorless potion that can almost completely eliminate body odor. Ogre gloves that enhance strength. Snake shoes that allow for quick movement, etc.
These items actually lose their meaning when you become a transcendental person, but it was different now. Because he was still at the level of a superman. A picture was drawn in his mind.
First deal with the commander who came to land, and then hunt them down one by one.
He took a gulp of the colorless potion and quietly settled down on the tree. The dragon clan, who seemed unaware of this fact as they were wading through the current, was approaching the land without any suspicion.
When his feet finally touched the ground, Theron glided. The mana rotating throughout my body gave off a feeling of exhilaration that seemed to explode. A gloomy gray mana rose above his sword.
…!
The moment I made eye contact with the commander who hurriedly raised his head.
Suddenly!
The dragon’s neck rose into the sky.
He immediately took out a magic bomb from his pocket and threw it with all his might toward the river.
Just before reaching the river, the bomb began sucking up all the surrounding air.
The dragons who were swimming began to be pulled helplessly by the enormous suction power.
Pfft!
A huge wave broke out on the river. The enormous explosive power engulfed more than twenty dragons. Limbs and organs, including blood, floated on the surface of the river.
[kruso!]
[Akaman!]
The worshipers’ pupils shook greatly. The commander and his fellow countrymen were massacred in a sudden surprise attack. The command system became empty for a moment.
Until the massacre that followed.
Even they, who were naturally skilled assassins, were unable to hide their embarrassment.
To suffer this kind of damage from just one rat-like person!
What made them even more angry was the sight of the human’s back as he retreated and began to run away. If humans had hidden themselves once again, they would have hesitated to come ashore.
There must be a huge gap between themselves swimming in the river and humans hiding comfortably on the ground.
Especially if it’s an assassin like me.
But it was different now.
Chase!
Must be killed!
Any thoughts of stepping back have long since disappeared. The only feeling is burning with revenge. One by one, worshipers came toward the land.
Soon they started running towards the inside of the forest.
It was hunting time.
* * *
Discovering Theron was purely by chance. Ethan’s eyes lit up when he saw the worshipers following closely behind the galloping guy.
‘Hmm.’
It was the younger brother who headed to the shadows for Ardan. An excellent elixir, a self-made training book, and even consideration for black socialism.
Knowingly or not, I used my strength for him. Isn’t there a saying that blood is thicker than water? Moreover, if the blood was Ardan’s blood, it could not help but feel even more intense.
I heard news from time to time through the owner of the company, Decal.
‘I heard you grew up fast.’
Gloomy gray mana. Ethan recognized it at a glance. It’s blurry, colorless, and grotesque, like a dead person. His temperament could be said to be the best for a stealth agent.
‘The guys chasing them aren’t that high level.’
In addition to being injured knowingly or unknowingly, the command system seemed to be in chaos and things were not in order. This would be very good prey for Theron now.
You won’t really need any help.
Shouldn’t he pay for his meals too? Ethan quickly moved his feet. As if mobilizing the army was not enough, even the Black Society was used for defense.
That doesn’t mean it can defend all areas of the vast duchy. There was definitely a gap. They are rushing around to check it.
Ethan left Theron behind and moved toward the next area.
* * *
The raid lasted all night.
The fiercest battle took place in the large city of Londinium, and casualties continued to occur throughout the territory.
Not only private soldiers and knights, but also Ethan participated in the battle. After about a day, the exact amount of damage was calculated.
There are approximately 500 young people.
In addition, close to 200 soldiers lost their lives and close to 20 knights passed away.
The damage to the black society, which was all made up of high-level secret agents, was also significant. They were responsible for tracking down the dragon tribe that had invaded their territory and identifying their route. When the number of the group was small, they were also responsible for direct combat.
In this process, nearly 30 members of the black community died.
‘…The sacrifice is great.’
This was expected from the moment the shadow uttered a threat. Isn’t it strange that there was no damage, even though they were in name and name the descendants of the ruler?
Even though Ardan has continued to develop rapidly, the absolute time given itself was small. It is natural that there are limits. I put down the document. Nerian made eye contact and lowered his head.
“sorry. “Your Excellency the Duke.”
“I know I did my best. “Don’t bow your head.”
“…still.”
Nerian’s face was full of regret.
Not only did he issue crossbows imbued with magical power to ordinary soldiers, but he also explained the characteristics of the worshipers and completed thorough preparations.
Nonetheless, the damage was significant. The battle that took place near Londinium was particularly so. Most of the soldiers and knights passed away here. This was because the largest number of worshipers entered.
“I know that just being able to block it to this extent is great. I need to make a schedule. “We will hold a joint funeral.”
“yes.”
“These are the people who shed their blood for Ardan. “Please provide thorough compensation to the bereaved families.”
“I will follow your orders.”
A joint funeral was held in a solemn atmosphere. The entire duchy went into mourning for a week. The rumor that the reason was a raid by the dragon tribe spread quickly.
The whole kingdom began to shake at the news.
