I Regressed to My Ruined Family

I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 28

＃When I returned, my family was ruined (28)

“You… did you really bring a divine sword?”

Divine sword Dranion.

It was a sacred item handed down from generation to generation by the heads of the family.

God’s sword.

In some ways, it was an arrogant name.

To that extent, the sword’s performance could be said to be the best even in the Western Continent.

The matriarch’s sword that he had swung countless times in his past life.

The 10th branch of the collateral world may be arrogant, but are they really capable of bringing the divine sword?

Flame-like mana soared within Ethan’s body.

The anger that burned for an instant was expressed out of the body.

Seeing that, the Baron quickly shook his head.

“Jin…calm down! Archduke! Even though our council of elders was the acting head of the family, we weren’t crazy enough to take the divine sword! And the new sword… As you know, the sword body is not completely broken!”

“…what? “Is your sword broken?”

This was the first time in my life that I had ever heard such a ridiculous story.

What kind of sword is Shingeom?

When confronting the dragonlord.

It was a weapon so strong that even a single blow from him only caused a slight incontinence.

A weapon with that much strength was completely broken?

The Baron tilted his head at the sound of Ethan’s voice that seemed to relax for a moment.

“…Isn’t this a fact that the Grand Duke also knew? Why are you suddenly doing this?…”

“…If you want to die comfortably, you will have to tell me the story in great detail now.”

“I will…I will tell you! “So…so!”

The Baron’s story flowed from the quiet dungeon.

The point was simple.

After the war with the Yongin tribe.

Many members of the family, including the head of the family, closed their eyes.

When the members of the Duke’s family returned to the family as corpses, the sword was already broken to the point where it could not be restored to its original form.

It even states that the only thing left there is at most a handle.

Ethan asked right away.

“…Did the dragonlord break that sword?”

“I don’t know that much. The only known fact about the Dragon Clan War is that several members of the family, including the former head of the previous generation, went to deal with the dragon lord…”

Helmut swallowed his saliva and continued speaking.

“The only thing that happened after that was that all the members of the dukedom returned as corpses.”

“What happened to the dragonlord?”

“I don’t even know that. Since that incident, the monster called the Dragonlord has never appeared. There is a prevailing opinion in the world that the monster would have been fatally injured, but…”

First of all, digging up more information was the priority.

“Why on earth was the non-aggression pact signed?”

“There was a rumor going around that the duke’s sacrifice had dealt a heavy blow to the dragonlord. After that, the Yongin tribe proposed a non-aggression pact as if they had been waiting… The Zeno Empire was the first to accept the treaty, and the policy spread to other countries.”

“The Zenon Empire?”

“…That’s right. The empire with the greatest power accepted the treaty, but what would the rest of the kingdoms do? They probably had no choice but to accept it. “It would have been the same for our Kingdom of Heidern.”

“…Have you never thought about attacking the dragon people?”

“Huh… Archduke. Do you think the dragon race consists of only one dragonlord? As the Archduke knows, those monsters are not the only ones. Even if the leader was wounded, their power was too strong to prepare for war.”

“….”

Damn you guys.

If they pushed the enemy’s leader like that, shouldn’t they at least take care of the ending themselves?

In the end, all the Duke family gained from this incident was the honor for their sacrifice.

“I ask one more thing. “Were the humans on the verge of being pushed back badly when they went to war with the dragon people?”

“…Have you lost your memory at all?”

“Just answer the question. “Before I rip out my tongue.”

“…The Zenon Empire is half and half. We, Heidern, who were the first to be attacked among the kingdoms, were badly pushed back in the beginning. It was only after the Duke family entered the war that the war became boiling point…”

‘Zenon Empire…’

Although the dragons at the level of corps commanders and division commanders were powerful, if there were no dragon lords, it would have been worth pushing through.

If the situation had been even before the monster called the Dragonlord was injured, he could have acted like that.

I couldn’t help but wonder why they signed a non-aggression pact at such an advantageous moment.

‘I’ll have to look into it later.’

There was no time to worry about the Zeno Empire right now. Right now, we had to do everything in our power just to get the duchy back.

But if you get your family back.

‘You’ll have to be prepared.’

The moment it was revealed that I had done something stupid, I was planning to cut off all the heads of the superiors, whether it was the Empire or something else.

That was a courtesy to our ancestors who sacrificed their lives for the continent.

‘If it’s not a new sword…’

There was one item that was expected to be my father’s memento.

“let’s go.”

“yes. “Your Majesty.”

Sylvia, who had been holding her breath, followed behind Ethan.

* * *

The entrance to the fourth floor of the dungeon was located in a corner of the third floor.

After opening the door to the basement.

I went down the stairs. Below, a solid iron gate blocked the road. I saw a magic circle in the middle of the iron gate.

Ethan took out the necklace he received from the Baron. When I placed the necklace in the center of the magic circle, a humming sound and a cheerful sound came from inside the iron door.

Click!

The lock must have been broken.

When the iron door was pushed open, the inside was revealed. Various items, including all kinds of precious metals, were neatly laid out. These were items that the Baron had been pursuing for decades.

Among them, what caught Ethan’s attention was a small lump of liquid.

The black liquid mass looked similar to a small slime.

‘This was it.’

The duke’s keepsake, Palhwan (八環).

I could recognize it at a glance.

This was one of the items that was always handed down to the heads of the family like a sacred sword.

‘This is the first pill.’

Hwan (環).

It means a ring.

This was literally a loop.

It is also a ring that can place strong restrictions on the entire body.

Ethan put his hand into the liquid.

The essence of fire in his entire body began to tremble.

The family’s secret breathing method, the breath of black flame.

The liquid began to tremble under the energy of the essence of fire created by the breath. Soon the liquid penetrated into his body.

Sylvia was looking at this with curiosity.

“Wonder what it is?”

“…yes. “Can you tell me?”

“It’s not really a secret. This is the eight rings. “It’s one of the items that has been passed down in the family.”

“Eight rings?”

“Should I say it’s a ring-shaped metal made up of eight pieces?”

“If it’s metal… shouldn’t it be absorbed into the body?”

“Because this is a bit of a unique item.”

According to records, the creation of the Palhwan was a very long time ago.

“You mean something unusual?”

“It’s a metal made by God or something. Anyway, what is certain is that if you meet the qualifications, there will be no side effects from absorbing this.”

There were three qualification conditions.

It must be a direct lineage that inherited the duke’s blood.

Learn the family’s secret breathing method and create the essence of fire.

You must have a certain level of fire energy in your body.

As long as these three conditions were met, the Eight Pillars could be absorbed into the body.

“How amazing. “Did you meet the qualifications, Archduke?”

“That’s the way it is.”

Soon, the metal writhing inside his body spread very thinly throughout his body.

Ethan vibrated his essence.

The fiery mana that flowed out began to be absorbed into the first pill that spread throughout the body.

The more I did it, the heavier my entire body became.

It felt as if steel rings were hanging all over my body.

Ethan smiled at that heavy feeling.

‘It’s been a while.’

The first effect of the eight pills is increased (增量).

Absorbs energy and increases the weight on the body. It is an excellent training tool.

And the second benefit is.

‘Liberation.’

The absorbed energy is sent back to the body. It was safe to say that this was some kind of spare storage.

‘It’s a great feature.’

The total amount of energy that can be accumulated in the human body before reaching the state of transcendence is fixed to a certain extent for each state.

The point is that you cannot accumulate energy indefinitely.

If more energy was accumulated than could be controlled, a runaway phenomenon could occur.

But what if there are eight pills?

After storing that energy in the eight rings as a reserve, he was able to return the stored energy back to his body whenever he wanted.

‘If you stack up to eight, the amount increases up to four times.’

It also meant that a person who uses the eight rings could use as much as five times as much energy as a knight of the same level.

Now that I have one pill, I will be able to store half as much energy.

As I absorbed the maximum amount of mana into the pill, I felt my body become heavier.

The feeling as if your muscles are screaming with every movement.

I was satisfied.

‘If only eight rings could be planted and still move freely.’

We will be able to draw enormous power in the process of liberation.

Not only will all physical limitations disappear, but you will also be able to draw in an enormous amount of energy.

Past family heads who had great power.

One of the reasons was the Eight Pillars.

‘I said the rest was kept in another collateral family.’

What they stole was not the new sword with only the handle remaining, but the Eight Rings.

The use and purpose of the Eight Pillars was something that only those who would become the next head of the family would learn. Naturally, the subordinates would not have known what this item was used for.

Since it was a keepsake of the duke, they probably stole it thinking it was a valuable item.

‘One more reason to take them down.’

Even if it cannot be used, it was one of the keepsakes left behind by the previous duke.

Even if you don’t know the exact purpose of the Eight Pillars, you probably guess that they are valuable items. Even if I asked for it back with kind words, there was no way they would obediently give it back. In this case, there was a very good solution.

overwhelming power.

Ethan thought of his next target, Baron Romenton. His eyes turned to Sylvia.

“Go to the baron and tell him to write down the names of all the families who took my father’s belongings.”

“All right.”

It wasn’t long before she handed Ethan a piece of paper.

“It’s a list.”

Ethan, who was reading the list, tilted his head.

“…is this the right list?”

“I will check properly.”

“No, it’s okay.”

This is Helmut, who was being severely tortured by Sylvia just a day ago. There was no reason for him to lie as he begged to be killed gracefully.

‘This really hit home.’

Ethan, who was looking at the list, smiled coldly.

I thought the Eight Pillars were all spread out across the 10 branches of the branch.

That wasn’t it.

Because the materials of the eight rings were very evenly mixed.

Three in the 10th branch of the branch.

Four in Kingdom 7th Street.

The other one, strangely enough, had been sold to one of the marquis of the Kingdom of Limedell next door.

He went straight to Helmut.

“How did you find out the location of the Eight Pillars?”

“…This is a fact obtained through exchanging information with the 10 other affiliated families. I swear there are no lies. “I have definitely heard other family heads say that they handed it over to the 7 Kingdom families.”

“Do you know why it was handed over to Kingdom 7?”

“…I think it would be better to purchase technology rather than keep holding on to something useless… I was wondering whether I should dispose of this and buy an interpretation of the Mana Breathing Method…”

Father Palhwan is a keepsake and a very useful object.

This was something that had to be returned at all costs. However, it seemed like it wouldn’t be possible to get it back in the short term.

‘First, wipe out all the collateral.’

Next, I need to contact the Kingdom 7 guys.

Of course, those arrogant bastards won’t give the Eight Rings back easily.

‘We can solve that problem then.’

One thing is fortunate.

The next destination, Baron Romenton, was also a family that still possessed the Eight Rings.

The next destination was perfectly decided. After taking all the valuables on the fourth floor of the dungeon.

“let’s go.”

I escaped prison with Sylvia.
