I Regressed to My Ruined Family Chapter 291

#When I returned, my family was ruined (292)

“Now do you understand why I need you?”

“…yes.”

Under such conditions, it would have been more helpful to summon the monarch himself. Only then was Ysera able to completely come to her senses. The attitude towards sparring has also completely changed. If I had felt envy and jealousy toward Lorotia just a little while ago, it was different now.

This was because he clearly realized that he, too, could be of help to the duke. When the sympathies that had been coloring her heart for a long time disappeared, she was able to look directly at the monarch called Yse.

‘I need to improve my skills.’

Even if the monarch possessed the duke, the time the monarch could be active was bound to be proportional to his or her mana amount and communication power. Even though Manaya cannot be rapidly increased in a short period of time, the level of sympathy was different.

Depending on how much importance was placed on communication with spirits and how much trust they had in each other, the ability to communicate varied greatly.

‘To do that… I’ll have to open my mind too.’

I looked at Lorotia. One thing was clear. He said that the monarch had helped him in a situation a while ago.

If Lorotia had not spoken on behalf of his feelings, he would have suffered as she said. It was thanks to her full help that we were able to communicate honestly.

Obviously, the contract did not start off in a good direction.

‘We can’t just stand back and be tied down by the past forever.’

This was a fact that both Isera and the monarch were aware of. In the end, we also knew that collaboration with each other was most important in order to achieve our individual goals.

―…I’ll try harder from now on.

[Okay.]

The monarch nodded and looked at the duke.

[Let’s spar again.]

“Sure.”

The sparring continued as it had just before. Ysera did not turn away from Lorotia this time.

Rather, with a fire in his eyes, he was trying to capture and remember her every action in his mind.

It was like when she first summoned the spirit. I was learning her fighting style with pure joy and enthusiasm, just as I had continued my training by receiving step-by-step instructions from my father.

The fact that I started actively asking questions was a bonus.

Even Lorotia was surprised by the 180-degree change in attitude.

[I wish it had been like this a long time ago.]

―…I’m sorry.

[Okay, the most important thing when swinging a whip is…]

―So, you’re saying that you have to use mana elaborately when snapping your wrist?

[Yes, in this way. You have to use your entire arm properly, starting with your wrist. Do you know that salmon fish?]

―Yes, I’ve seen it before.

[It’s very active, right? The same goes for whips. Imagine a salmon moving through the river. And swing it. The moment you rotate it like this, the mana…]

At that moment, the inside of the body, which had become transparent, began to become clearly visible in Ysera’s field of vision. Lorothia’s gaze began to be reflected on her as well.

‘…my empathy has improved.’

If I had the same level of communication as before, I would not have been able to assimilate the gaze in this way. This also meant that the monarch was teaching himself sincerely. If I had only opened my heart on my own, my empathy would not have increased so quickly.

The results were amazing when we started having in-depth conversations and teaching each other about the same topic.

In just a short period of time, about 30 minutes at most, Ysera was able to understand a lot about how to handle Auroica.

This was possible because I felt firsthand how to handle the whip not only in theory but also in practice.

[Like this!]

Although Lorotia was controlling the body, the mind still belonged to Ysera. Because the level of communication was low so far, the degree to which sensations were shared was very low.

But it was different now.

The sharing of sensations became increasingly clear as the class continued. By the time an hour had passed, Ysera was experiencing such detailed sensations that she could feel every single strand of downy hair on her entire body.

Only then did Ysera realize.

How great is Lorotia’s whipping skill. At least in terms of whip-handling skills, there was not a single person on the continent as skilled as Lorotia.

It was a fact that I fully realized because the connection became so detailed that I could feel every inch of my skin.

At least in this field, the monarch was the continent’s best teacher. It was an incredible opportunity. Ysera was no longer jealous of Lorotia. Instead, he just decided to fully embrace her and make that strength his own.

Moment by moment.

Ysera was growing dazzlingly fast.

* * *

Training continued for nearly four weeks.

In the first week of training, I actively accepted all classes as if I was fully tutored by Lorotia.

In the second week, instead of Lorotia moving her body directly, Ysera began to take her place.

Is it because of increased empathy?

There was no trace of the past, when he lost half of his emotions and ran wild while being engulfed in the heat of the monarchy.

Rather, instead of being consumed by that power, all that remains is that he begins to utilize the given power properly and begins to show off his skills in sparring with the Duke.

Classes to improve Sera Lee’s skills continued in the third week. The advice of the two teachers, the monarch and the duke, was all intuitive and sharp. Before she knew it, she was being groomed to be worthy of a transcendental, not only physically but also mentally.

She was no longer a half-transcendent whose body was strengthened by a lucky contract with a monarch. In the 3rd week, Ysera’s skills have grown to the point where she is not easily defeated even when facing a considerable transcendental person.

This was especially true when it came to handling Auroica.

-The technique has finally matured to suit the body.

Ysera had a critical weakness. That is, compared to the growth of the physical body, the technical aspect of handling spirits or special weapons has not yet caught up with the physical body. This training was aimed at narrowing that gap as much as possible.

And three weeks of intensive training produced amazing results.

‘It has become worthy of the state of transcendence.’

Of course, Ysera’s skills were bound to be inferior to the whipping skills shown by a monarch who had reached absolute perfection by directly manipulating her body.

This gap was difficult to narrow even if it were 3 years rather than 3 weeks.

However, from the perspective of bridging the gap between body and mind, which was the initial goal, it was safe to say that the current Ise has exceeded her goal.

Because I have been trained as a transcendent person who displays skills that I would not be embarrassed to display anywhere.

‘It’s fast. ‘Is this the power of active communication?’

The spirits and the spirit masters were in an absolute cooperative relationship in which they could not grow unless they cooperated with each other.

After covering up the feud between Lorotia and Ysera. A lot of time has passed since then. Nevertheless, during that period, Ysera’s development was virtually non-existent.

‘It must have been because there was no rapport at all.’

Since there was no trust in each other, there was no communication, and since there was no communication, there was no reason for the rapport to increase. That’s why Ysera was a half-transcendent. But it was different now.

Considering that when I first started sparring, I didn’t even know how to use a whip, the growth rate was astounding.

Wasn’t he able to create a technique that could rival even a transcendentalist in just three weeks from scratch? Even if it was Ethan, he had no confidence in growing at such a fast pace.

A body that has grown to another level.

A monarch-level spirit that has reached peak prowess. In addition, Lee Sera’s sincere attitude of actively accepting the class without any worries.

This is a result that can be shown because everything is in place. Week 4, the last training week.

The person who trained intensively here was Kangrim.

[What do you think?]

“…It’s definitely amazing.”

To have Lorotia descend on oneself. This was one of the development directions Ethan was thinking about. The result of being empowered by a monarch-level entity was beyond imagination.

The heat of the white flames has changed. The fire, which I wondered if it could burn any hotter, was burning at a higher temperature than ever before.

It has also become extremely efficient in terms of mana consumption. This was because the monarch’s could be used together with the white flame.

The burden is halved and the power is doubled. It was a surprising effect.

“Are other people usually like this?”

[No way. This is a result that can be shown because your and my wavelengths match to a large extent.]

Lorotia continued speaking immediately.

[You started with my blessing from the beginning of accumulating mana. The blessing would have changed the body, and as the changed body continued to grow, the power of the blessing would have steadily accumulated. Fundamentally, my power and your power are not that different.]

Ethan nodded.

‘If you think about it, we’ve had that conversation before.’

White salt, not black salt. Lorotia once said words of praise while looking at the flame. It is a pure flame that has not been corrupted.

In a broad sense, the flames handled by the monarch were no different from white flames. It was just a flame that was a little more refined and contained a little more purifying power.

[There is probably no one on the continent who matches my wavelength as much as the Duke.]

“Isn’t there Ysera?”

[No, not yet. Because we are in the process of matching each other’s wavelength. In the future, we may be on better terms than you, but not now. There is still a long way to go.]

“I see.”

[Yes. I guess I’ll have to go back now. [It is still a state that cannot be maintained for a long time.]

Soon after, Lorotia returned to Ysera’s body. Ysera, who was maintaining the summons while sweating profusely, slumped down in her seat.

“Good job.”

“No. “I should have focused a little more…”

“This is enough.”

Currently, the time that Ysera was able to descend on Lorotia was approximately 10 minutes. That was also assuming that the situation was normal and not a fierce fight.

This was also a long time compared to when sympathy was low.

If the monarch had descended on his body in the first week, he would not have been able to last even a minute.

Originally, it was more difficult to control the ship while putting it in someone else’s body than to control one’s own power within one’s own body.

That was the same even if Ethan and Lorothia’s wavelength was high. In the end, the mana consumed by Lorotia belonged to Ysera.

‘But if he could grow to this level with just four weeks of training.’

It was not a meaningless time.

Especially in a situation where the period that the demon dragon spoke of is just around the corner.

Ethan looked at the crystal ball in his arms. Coincidentally, at that moment the crystal ball began to glow.

A call has arrived.
