I Regressed to My Ruined Family Chapter 267

＃After returning, the family was ruined (268)

War clouds hovered over the entire duchy. It started when people from nearby outlying villages began to evacuate.

Soon a watertight defense line was established. There was usually no shortage of defense personnel, but now even reserve forces had been deployed.

The reason was simple.

This was because they had received a message from the head of the family that there would be an attack. Among them, the knight commander Nerian himself was sitting on the largest road leading to Londinium.

‘He said dragons might come flocking in.’

Shadow worshiper.

In fact, I heard that there would be an attack by people who were close to assassins.

I was already aware of that ability.

They say they can penetrate into the shadows of living things. It was an ability so bizarre that it would make you frown just hearing about it.

However, it was not the case that there was no law of destruction at all. I heard that the speed of penetrating into the shadows varies depending on the strength of the worshipers.

A low-ranking worshiper said that not only does it take an entire year to move a single shadow, but the slow speed gives them ample time to prepare.

This fact was already fully known to the troops in charge of defense.

Londinium, the capital of the duchy. If their goal was to completely destroy the duchy, this was the place where they had to launch their offensive first.

‘The largest number will definitely flock towards this place.’

As the duchy grew, the number of knights increased incomparably compared to before, and the armament of the soldiers had long since become more advanced to the point where it was on a different level from that of other fiefdoms.

The power of the dragon race may not be easy, but it is not so much that the duchy’s troops cannot deal with it.

Nerian was confident.

Is it because they kept their spirits up and were completely on guard? I could immediately feel the air starting to flow heavily. There was no doubt that the dragons were approaching.

“Ready for battle!”

At his powerful shout, the soldiers began to aim their crossbows at the front. Crossbows were strategic items. It was also an item that anyone other than a fairly noble family could not even dare to produce.

But Ardan was different. This was because it was one of the few families permitted by the royal family to manufacture crossbows.

A crossbow that is already more powerful than a bow. Moreover, the crossbows carried by soldiers were not common items.

Each crossbow had a mana circuit engraved on it. It was not a high-ranking technique. However, it was enough to contain magical power in each crossbow shot.

Even if the worshipers were in a semi-corporeal state and tried to burrow into the shadows, a weapon imbued with magic would be able to inflict sufficient damage.

Nerian raised his hand.

Immediately, he thrust his hands forward with a powerful shout.

“Shoot everything at the front!”

A sharp crossbow was fired straight ahead.

puck! puck! puck!

Wow!

Screams erupted from all directions. The power of the crossbow was certainly incredible. Even the hard shell, which was difficult to pierce with an ordinary arrow, was practically useless in front of a crossbow. At least for low-level dragons, crossbows were a disaster.

It was an attack loaded with mana due to the effect of the circuit. It was an attack that even dragons, who were much stronger than humans, could not easily withstand.

The corpses of worshipers piled up everywhere. The dragons began to relentlessly approach the defense line. The attack on the duchy was an order given directly by the ruler.

There could be no refusal. Before long, worshipers began to rise behind the troops.

Phew!

Phew!

Cheaeng!

Because they had heard the notice in advance, the members of the Knights were able to block their attack, but the soldiers, who were much slower to respond, could not.

The necks of several soldiers instantly rose into the sky.

“Assemble your battle lines! Don’t panic and load up your protests! “Deputy Commander, kill the dragon attached to the soldiers!”

“yes!”

Nerian’s voice, which had been loudly commanding the knights and soldiers, including Myers, suddenly quieted down. The sensation of every single hair on your skin standing on end.

It was a surprise attack.

Blue mana flowed over his body, which immediately turned around. Mana took shape in an instant. With a strong body with the durability and strength of a dragon. I felt a sense of power, as if I could tear apart anything in front of me. It was a skill taught directly by the head of the family. It would only hurt to talk about its power.

As time slowed down, a new figure was seen rising from behind the shadows. The five sharp, saw-toothed claws got closer every moment. Nerian’s sword blocked the path. Before I knew it, the Dragon Clan, who had risen more than halfway, had a strange look in his eyes.

It was a look of surprise. The reason was simple. Despite the deaths of his subordinates, he was looking for an opportunity until the end to kill the commander.

Because I finally made the move when I decided it was perfect.

So far, no human has ever been the victim of his assassination.

However, this was the first time in my life that I encountered such an opponent. A unique knight whose entire body resembles that of a dragon race through mana.

The incredible speed that suddenly burst out blocked his claws. It was a defense in a completely unexpected way.

Kaang!

Sparks exploded with a metallic sound. The knight’s sword, overflowing with mana, was not chipped at all by even his sharp claws. Rather, he was pushing himself with all his might through the overwhelming power flowing through his grasp. This situation was not limited to Nerian.

High-ranking knights, starting with Myers, the vice-chief of the Dragon Slayer Corps, were blocking the assassins rising from behind the shadows. And that too, while embodying Yongin’s body.

The number of knights who died in the first attack of the most dangerous assassin…

was less than 10% of what the worshipers had expected.

“…”

―….

The knights and assassins locked arms and looked at each other’s pupils.

If you don’t kill it, you die. Is there any situation more clear than this? No more words were needed. Dragons and knights who had reached a high level began to clash with each other.

Soon, blood spatters poured down like a torrential rain from all directions.

It was war.

* * *

The raids were not only taking place on the highway towards Londinium. Assassins tend to prefer hitting someone in the back rather than confronting them head-on.

The compatriots brought by the shadow were quite numerous and were able to spread their power in all directions. However, their surprise attack was not successful.

‘Where did such a monster come from…!’

The earth is cracked and burning.

The pure heat of the fire was melting even the tough exterior.

Phew!

A very small act of blowing at best. However, despair was welling up in the eyes of the worshipers looking at the scene. Before I could close my eyes, a huge wave of flames soared. More than a dozen worshipers were swept away by the waves of fire.

It was a flame with a temperature so high that there was no answer once it touched the body. It wasn’t easy to get access either. The flames surrounding his entire body were enough to melt even the fingernails of high-ranking worshipers before they could even approach him.

The woman in front of me was a monster.

I remembered when that woman first appeared. A woman who suddenly found her way into the midst of admirers.

The assassins’ presence was completely deceived. It was easy to guess that he was an expert.

That’s why everyone rushed in with all their might. Starting with the commander, all the high-ranking worshipers aimed their claws at the heart.

That was the last appearance of the elite unit. Just one moment. Flames soared over the human woman’s body.

A whip divided into hundreds of branches struck in all directions.

The commander and other high-ranking worshipers melted like mushy candy.

It was a terrible sight.

Then everyone was trapped in that crazy woman’s territory and a massacre ensued. No one could come close. However, hiding itself was impossible.

Because the heat was so intense that it was shrinking my lungs in real time. A hearty smile appeared on the crazy woman’s lips.

[haha! Are you completely scared already? If you don’t come, I’m coming!]

The whip was lashed. The complexions of the worshipers turned pale as they saw the tip of the whip split into hundreds of pieces. How on earth did you find out?

Even though they used ‘hibernation’ to reduce their metabolism to the limit, the cracked whip was flying exactly in the direction where they were hiding. Before they could react, the worshipers’ bodies were split in two.

Is it because of the blazing high fever? Not even a fountain of blood flowed from the body that was split in half. Only a few quick-footed worshipers were able to avoid the whip.

But the offensive did not end there. When they lightly waved their wrists, the whip started chasing them as if it were a chaser.

It was an incredible speed. Feeling that there was no escape, some worshipers began to charge at the mad woman with whips or sledgehammers.

But the results were disastrous. The whip made of Ardenheite had a strength that even a ruler could not easily handle. There was no way that a mere subordinate, not even the ruler, could have accepted that.

Meanwhile, the results for the family members who attacked the spiritist were just as terrible.

As soon as I got within ten steps, my skin started to melt away, and after five steps, even my solid bones started to become brittle.

By the time we reached three steps, seven out of ten had turned into liquid and wet the ground.

The most subordinate. He was the only one who approached the distance by one step, but was unable to put his fingernails in. This was because even the muscles to move his arms had already disappeared. When the spiritist’s hand touched the forehead of the servant, the body of the servant scattered like powder.

[It looks like everything has been sorted out.]

Lorotia, which had descended on Ysera, came out of her body. Immediately, Ysera groped her body. Lorotia, who was staring at the scene, said.

[Are you going to keep doubting me like that? Aren’t you tired?]

“Ha. Do you have the memory of a goldfish? Think about what they did. “I guess you can trust me.”

[I told you I wouldn’t take it away. [I also made a pact with the duke.]

“But isn’t it strange that they completely trust me? And don’t keep talking to me. “Because I feel bad.”

-under! Yes! Who said they wanted to talk to you?

A cold chill passed between the two. The two agreed to continue the spirit contract under the duke’s presiding, but they could not immediately repair the broken relationship. I just endured it. For each other’s goals.

“This place has been taken care of.”

Ysera, who was looking at the map, got her bearings.

“I’ll call you when the time comes, so I’m going in.”

[Either that or not.]

Lorotia’s new form became blurred.

He returned to the spirit world to reduce mana consumption. Ysera, looking at that scene, sighed.

The overwhelming sense of elation I felt during Advent.

The feeling of joy consumed all of her reason. The change may have occurred because there are still many shortcomings in accepting the monarch.

She let out a complicated sigh and took a step forward. The night was long and there were still a lot of guys to deal with.
