I Regressed to My Ruined Family Chapter 167

＃When I returned, my family was ruined (168)

The faces of the two transcendents hardened. Their sharp senses were screaming warning sounds.

‘…information was leaked.’

Perfectly too.

As a family with many secrets, Aguiles’ security was excellent. Even if it were the Shadow Knights, it would not be possible to know the internal situation so thoroughly.

‘How on earth?’

How is it possible to complete preparations so quickly without knowing the location and date of the attack?

Before I had time to continue my thoughts, I heard a voice.

A very familiar low-pitched voice.

It was Ethan’s.

“Are you the archbishop?”

“exactly.”

“It was nice to meet you.”

A sword was in Ethan’s hand.

The highest level of leadership in the Kingdom of Heidern.

The archbishop held that position. For Ethan, it was one of the highest priority targets for annihilation.

A desirable prey.

He was completely caught in the trap.

As if that wasn’t enough, even the leader of Agiles was caught as well.

This was a golden opportunity.

The wizards’ faces hardened as life slowly bloomed.

The archbishop remained silent and looked around. His head was spinning alertly. A situation in which the initial purpose of the raid completely failed.

There were only two options left.

Do you fight head on?

If not, do you throw a scapegoat and run away?

‘The latter is difficult.’

There were already magic circles scattered around here that hindered movement through space.

Is that it?

The two transcendents and hundreds of knights have formed a siege.

Even if a scapegoat was thrown, it would have been difficult for Himos and himself to escape completely. Rather, a way to reduce sacrifice would be to concentrate one’s strength and break through at one point. He secretly whispered to Himos.

[I think we need to focus our firepower to break through at one point. The right side would be better.]

[…Good.]

Himos quickly agreed.

The Church and Agileth.

The kingdom was gnashing its teeth at two powers. It is questionable whether even Duke Gerond, the only ally, is currently in his right mind.

Even if the raiding party were to be killed here, no one would express any dissatisfaction.

Now was the time to do everything I could to get out of this place.

Survival, not raiding.

Ethan’s voice rang out through the changed purpose.

“Kill them all.”

“Jonmyeong!”

The knights started running.

The wizards who saw them quickly implemented magic. Screams began to run rampant in the forest.

* * *

The resistance from Agiles and the church was fierce. It was natural that death would await them if they could not break through the siege. In particular, the power displayed by the three bishops was shocking.

“Wow!”

The knights who were building a siege were thrown out in all directions.

It did not distinguish between the Dragon Slayers and the Shadow Knights.

A huge human spirit with its entire body pitch black was ruthlessly cutting through the path.

Height: up to 3m.

The body was pitch black as if made of steel.

That wasn’t a human.

I don’t know if it’s a dragon race.

1 bishop.

He was the most powerful of the eight bishops of the kingdom.

Among the eight, he was the only one who had passed the mid-level of Kangryongsik and reached the upper level.

A complete half-human and half-dragon.

He was already a dragon.

The power of the man who brought down a metal dragon whose entire body was harder than iron was enormous. Even a sword filled with mana could not scratch the First Bishop’s skin. This was the reason why the knights were pushed back badly.

It wasn’t just Bishop 1 who was doing a great job.

Not to be outdone, the three bishops were also using the Kang Ryong style. A dragon of destruction that drives enemies with enormous power and mana.

Its power was clearly revealed on the swords of the three bishops. Every time the bishop swung his sword, nearly ten knights were pushed back endlessly.

Considering that the level of the shadow knights who dealt with the bishop were all 7th rank or higher, it could be said to be an amazing divine power.

Contrary to what I first expected, the path went smoothly.

The eyes of the warlocks belonging to Agileth lit up at the surprising power. Their power was so strong that it overpowered even the 9th rank wizard, Count Volfar, who was called the second-in-command of the family.

Unless it is the head of the family, Duke Himos, there is no one in Agiles who can subdue the two bishops.

‘The power of the church is enormous.’

‘…There was a reason why the head of the family actively cooperated with them.’

I knew the bishops were strong, but I had never witnessed their true power.

It was only today that I was able to recognize their true value.

Although they may be infinitely fearful when they are enemies, they feel reassured when they are their allies.

It was when relief filled the eyes of the warlocks as they saw the road ahead being cleared smoothly.

For an instant, my eyes lit up.

It was a bonus that there was a noise that made my eardrums explode. Seven explosions. The first bishop, who continued to run forward, stopped.

Or, to be precise, the forward movement stopped only after being pushed back seven steps. All the surrounding eyes were focused on one place.

Soon the warlocks narrowed their eyes. It was the same for the first bishop.

This was because a very unexpected person was blocking the way.

‘Mileton?’

Mileton, the kingdom’s best sword.

The son of Gerond and the head of the Lacian household. He belonged to a force that could be considered an ally of them.

Why is such a person participating in this ambush?

This wasn’t the only surprising thing.

The force rising from his body was strong enough to be considered a transcendental being.

‘What nonsense…!’

That power made even the first bishop wary. Considering the level of milestones known to the public, this could be said to be absurd.

‘…is the author hiding his skills?’

A situation full of doubts.

In the meantime, the first bishop asked about the first thing he needed to know.

“…Is this what Duke Gerond means?”

“You can think as you please.”

Already, thick mana was blooming on his sword. The dragon’s blood slowly boiled over due to the clearly rising murderousness.

It is unknown whether the author acted on Gerond’s orders or on his own. The important thing now was not to consider such things.

Because it was a life-or-death situation depending on whether or not we penetrated the front.

Bishop 1 looked at Bishop 3.

The surging Destruction Dragon was already showing its murderous intent.

[…I can kill you, right?]

[So.]

It was a neat command.

The moment power entered the body of the three bishops, a huge fire magic enveloped his body. A flame full of heat that seems to burn the whole world.

Even the dragon’s skin could not be free from the heat.

The bishop’s gaze then turned to the source of the fire. There stood a woman whose entire body was made of flame.

[Hello?]

Light smile.

The embers fluttered brilliantly.

The faces of the two bishops suddenly hardened.

This was because the level of the woman with the spirit wrapped around her body was extraordinary.

I could feel the heat as if my whole body was melting in the gorgeous fluttering flames.

Mileton was also watching that scene. He said with a grin.

“Thank you, sister.”

Ysera was shocked.

Ever since she returned with Ethan, Mileton had been calling her his older sister.

The look in his eyes also changed.

In the past, his eyes were burning with obsession, but now he just looked at himself with a calm expression.

Did I take some medicine wrong?

Or that the time of death is approaching. I wonder if this thought ever crossed my mind.

It was such an amazing change.

It’s hard to spit on a smiling face. This was especially true in situations where it seemed like the person had completely changed for the better.

[…Don’t be mistaken. I didn’t move because I wanted to help you.]

I just moved because Ethan didn’t like them breaking through.

Mileton nodded.

“I know. “Then will you take care of that monster?”

[…Yes.]

Ysera extended her hand towards the three bishops. By signing a ‘temporary contract’ with the Lord of Fire, he not only improved his skills in controlling flames, but also learned how to control fire from Duke Ethan, who could rightly be called the Lord of Flames. Lee Sera has a different level of control than before taking the special class. Her control began to slip away.

Flames rising like waves.

The fire tore into hundreds of pieces.

It looked like a huge viper’s nest. Heat-fluttering flames began pouring down toward the three bishops. It was not only the waves of flame that announced the start of the battle.

Before I knew it, Mileton was standing behind the metal dragon, leaving the blurred new model behind. The dragon’s skin, which had withstood thousands of sword strikes so far, was cut off helplessly.

A sword that cuts through grain.

It was a sword strike reconstructed based on Gerond’s memories. The first bishop’s eyes filled with embarrassment and anger as he felt the dizzying pain of cutting his skin.

[You!]

Mana like a tidal wave rose over the bishops’ bodies. A situation where you face a powerful enemy that is beyond annoying and threatens your life. The battle began to heat up.

* * *

The swung divine sword collided with something. A pitch-black shape. It was a hook-like hand blade.

‘What a troublesome guy.’

Ethan clicked his tongue.

The person he was dealing with now was the archbishop. An opponent who is even more appetizing than the matriarch of Agiles.

Therefore, Himos left Duke to deal with him and immediately rushed at him. Of course, I didn’t just rush in alone without a plan.

Because he had not yet regained the state of his previous life, and the Archbishop who used the Strong Dragon Style could be considered a strong person among transcendents.

That’s why I brought along one person.

That person was none other than Marquis Lionel. The companion was certainly useful. If you block the archbishop’s attack like this…

Pugh!

This was because he did not miss that moment and stabbed the guy with his sword, steadily wounding him. The Archbishop’s divine form became blurred through the pouring black blood.

A space filled with pitch-black darkness.

This was the inside of the area where the archbishop casted the spell. The power of the archbishop who brought down the dragon race far exceeded the two people’s expectations.

Even Marquis Lionel was unable to completely destroy the territory.

By joining forces with Ethan, we only pushed out part of the territory.

The archbishop’s power was certainly strong enough to be considered the head of a kingdom.

‘A shadow worshiper.’

It was a dragon that descended on the archbishop’s body. As the insidious name suggests, the attack method was also similar. A cunning dragon that hides in the dark and surprises its prey.

The guy was running wild in his territory.

Ethan looked into the endless darkness. The guy’s attack method was simple. When injured, it hides deep inside its territory to recover.

If your body recovers completely like that….

“Be careful!”

Ethan turned around without hesitation.

I met my gaze with a cunning pupil.

A hand blade that pierces the heart.

Hwan was liberated.

A huge amount of mana was overlaid on his body. The power of a dragon contained in both arms.

He used his divine sword to block the dragon’s hand.

Crack!

Ethan stretched out his hand through the bright blue sparks. The explosive speed that flowed in an instant. That was something even the archbishop had not expected.

Thump!

A hard upper was caught.

It was the dragon’s shoulder.
