I Regressed to My Ruined Family Chapter 256

#When he returned, his family was ruined (257)

Even though he was a special person who had been invited by the monarch, he did not receive the same invitation this time. Moreover, this was not a royal family, but a spirit world.

There is no reason to leave a rude person alone. This was the reason why the spirits showed clear hostility.

Ifru saw this and frowned. He was also angry. However, I had to refrain from making any hasty moves.

‘…I don’t understand.’

At first glance, you don’t even feel any momentum. If the Duke hadn’t revealed his identity, and if this had been the human world and not the Land of Fire, he might have thought he was just an ordinary villager.

So it was actually more dangerous.

It was said that this person’s abilities were so outstanding that even the most advanced person in Area 8 could not understand the level.

Well…

he is a human who was invited by the monarch. If there was too much ability, there was no way it was lacking.

Ifru looked around at his subordinates. If even impatient subordinates had rushed in, a terrible massacre might have occurred.

―…Everyone, never act rashly!

The spirits’ hostility noticeably subsided at Ipuru’s stern reprimand.

Although he was born with a fiery temperament, he could not dare to ignore the orders of his superiors. However, this did not prevent dissatisfied rebuttals.

―…Ifru! The author dared to insult the monarch! Are you really planning on leaving it like this?

―…That’s not it. However, I will be in charge of dealing with that person alone.

―We too….

―You still don’t understand! The author is not a person you can deal with!

Ifru answered immediately and immediately stepped forward.

―We must receive an apology for our rude remarks. Peacock.

“As I said before, it was your monarch who was rude first.”

-…dare!

Ifru’s body was on fire.

I don’t know how things went before that person visited here. But one thing was certain.

The commander himself was also angry at the words insulting the monarch. And whatever conflict there may have been between the monarch and the duke before, it is not a matter for the monarch’s subjects to consider.

Moreover…

he was in a situation where he had no choice but to step forward in order to calm the emotions of his subordinates who were enraged after hearing this rude remark.

―As the commander of the 8th Corps, I can no longer tolerate your rudeness! You better be prepared, Duke.

As if fueled by Ifru’s anger, fire rose from the blazing earth. Ethan looked at that and stretched out his hand. At that moment, the flames clinging to Ifru’s body began to be sucked toward his palm.

-Huh-up!

-What!

The fire spirits who witnessed the scene were frightened. The commander’s flame could not withstand the touch of a mere human and was robbed?

It was a sight that could not have been seen unless the control of the fire was overwhelming.

How can a mere human have greater control than the highest fire elemental?

Ifru, whose power was taken away in an instant, urgently spun his mana. I was thinking of getting back the spark that had been taken away. However, the situation was not controlled as he wanted. I felt like all my strength was being drained away, like a limp bean sprout. I felt like a fish caught in a net.

-profit!

In the end, Ifru chose to attack the Duke. If things continued like this, it was obvious that he would fall without even fighting a proper battle.

‘We must stop that strange hand gesture!’

However, the closer I got, the faster my power was lost. When we arrived right in front of the duke. Ifru was already in no condition to fight. I was so exhausted that I couldn’t even spit out a single spark, as if everything had been burned down and I was just a pile of ashes.

-What on earth… what kind of cunning trick did you use?!

“It’s a secret tactic. Don’t you know the reason for this?”

―….

Ipru gritted his teeth at the cold sneer.

I knew that.

In the end, all of this happened because of a lack of control over the flames. It is as if the lower spirits cannot resist the higher spirits at all.

This match was just the same. Because he didn’t want to believe that fact, he resorted to cunning tactics.

―…Corps Commander!

―…Everyone, don’t act rashly!

The spirits that seemed ready to rush at Ipru’s urgent cry flinched. The corps commander’s urgent cry contained deep concern for the soldiers.

A moment of silence followed.

What that silence brought was fear. Ifru, the highest-level spirit with the greatest power in Zone 8.

Even he collapsed without even being able to fight a proper battle. How about themselves?

Even if there were many numbers, it was not possible to overcome the absolute power gap. Just as thousands of ants cannot defeat humans.

Ifru fell helplessly and covered her mouth.

―…What on earth… are you planning to do, Duke? Are you really going to kill us all?

“I don’t really have any intention of doing that.”

Ethan’s purpose was to talk to Lorothia. The situation has already led to enmity with the monarch. There was no way the conversation would go well if she went around massacring her servant spirits here.

―…And yet you behave so rudely?

“It’s not particularly rude. If they had planned to kill them all like they thought, they would have wiped them all out a long time ago. Don’t you think I’m acting very kindly compared to that?”

―….

Ifru and other spirits were silent. He is the one who neutralized the highest-ranking spirit with a single wave of his hand. Moreover, the great sword on his back showed that he was a knight.

A knight can show his full power only when he takes out his sword.

In other words, the duke had not yet paid even 30% of his strength. For a man that strong, wiping out the 8th Legion was not a task.

That arrogant statement is by no means false. If you just reach out to the soldiers right now, they will lose their firepower without even being able to resist.

A breathtaking silence that seemed like it would never be broken continued. The strange silence was broken when Cruma, who had moved to report a moment ago, returned. The upper-class spirit hurriedly ran and shouted in all directions.

―The old monarch came here in person… huh? Ifru?

Cruma was startled by the sight that unfolded before his eyes. The great army commander was lying on the floor, losing his heat, and the numerous spirits surrounding the human were not even showing a single movement, as if they were frightened.

The spirit, who was about to continue saying that he should prepare to welcome the monarch, was silenced. Flames soared throughout Cruma’s body as he stared at the strange sight for a long time.

―This guy dares to attack the corps commander! Wow!

Cruma, who had been suppressed with a single wave of his hand, was staggering around.

Before he knew it, the human was right in front of him.

“I guess you are the messenger.”

-Let go of this!

“I never grabbed your body.”

I was just weighed down by the overwhelming control. Ethan said to Cruma, who was rolling his eyes.

“Are you here to deliver news of the monarch’s visit?”

-…okay! Your life will not be long, you insolent human being.

Cruma answered like he was chewing.

Even if he was a human who had the power to easily suppress the 8th Legion, including Ipuru, he could not dare compare his status to that of a monarch. As long as the monarch visits here, the arrogant human’s life will end here.

-Even if I tried to run away, it was too late. Because the monarch is already making his move.

“is it.”

It was an overly calm answer. Even if he is a monarch, is he even sure that he can’t harm himself?

‘No, there is no way among humans there is someone with that level of skill.’

It is obvious that this is just a bluff.

Cruma immediately suppressed the blasphemous thoughts that had begun to bloom in a corner of his mind.

Before long, the temperature of the earth began to heat up. Flames exploded in the spirits’ eyes at the sudden abnormal phenomenon. Soon joy filled their eyes. A tremendous presence was felt from afar.

There was only one being that could cause such a miracle.

Great Fire Lord!

Before I could even blink, a small figure closed the distance in an instant. Although he was similar in size to an ordinary soldier, the heat that covered his body was so hot that it could not even be compared.

―The former monarch has arrived!

―Wow!

The spirits burst into cheers as joy rose uncontrollably. Before we knew it, the Lord of Fire was positioned right in front of humans.

Clear hostility began to surround my entire body like sharp fangs. Despite this, Ethan’s expression remained calm without the slightest change.

It was Lorotia who broke the uncomfortable silence first.

[Why did you visit here?]

“It’s you, not me, who hasn’t contacted me.”

Lorothia was silent for a moment. Numerous thoughts were swirling in her head.

[…It’s really difficult to understand. I’m sure my hobby isn’t suicide. Why did you look for me?]

“I have something to tell you.”

[Were we close enough to have a leisurely conversation?]

“It was you who broke down the relationship first, not me. “Lorotia.”
