I Regressed to My Ruined Family Chapter 292

＃When I returned, my family was ruined (293)

Mana was infused into the crystal ball.

Before long, a familiar robe began to come into view. The smile underneath the robe was still the same.

―Have you been this busy?

“Not really.”

-This is my first time seeing you sweat. I thought this was something big. I’m glad that doesn’t seem to be the case. You probably already know what’s going on…

A subtle silence continued.

Ethan had a hunch.

Will you act as a sword to stab Dragonia, or will you oppose it? Now he was hoping for a clear answer. It would be a lie to say that I am not at all concerned about this topic.

‘…It’s difficult.’

Through the past four weeks of training, Ysera has grown to become a transcendental and has also been able to endure for quite a long time with the monarch descending on her body. However, even if all of these things were taken into consideration, the odds of winning in a battle with the Demon Dragon were at best 50%.

Absolute.

No matter how high I set this level, there was something lacking. It was a level that even I couldn’t reach. Moreover, although the spirit lord was in the same absolute state, it was a story that was common only in the spirit world. As long as the summoner was a transcendental person, there was a limit to the power that could be shown.

What if we set the tone to attack Dragonia?

It is a nation of dragons in name and name.

Moreover, in order for public opinion to completely turn against the dragonlord, it would be more effective to move a large army than to move alone.

‘That guy will definitely ask for this too.’

No matter how minimal it was, all of Ardan’s private soldiers would have to be used, and if a lot were captured, all of Heidern’s troops might have to move. What if he hits you in the back while you’re away?

Heidern will collapse in an instant. Of course, the possibility that the guy who has been quiet until now will come and stab him in the back is not very high.

‘There is no such thing as absolute in this world.’

You can’t say there’s no possibility.

Moreover, there was another risk.

Its ultimate goal is to bring down the dragonlord. Wouldn’t it be possible to wipe out the kingdom and then head to Dragonia in the name of punishing Heidern for sending the troops?

‘Then we could be attacked in both directions.’

What if you enter Dragonia after annihilating the invaders?

If he moved like this, the demon dragon would be able to blow his two noses without even touching his hand. Not only will you be able to easily defeat Heidern, who was suffering from both sides, but you will also gain Dragonia’s trust and tremendous reputation.

His position will rise incomparably compared to before.

‘Monarch, then you can slowly bring him down.’

It would not be that difficult to dethrone a powerless monarch after gaining power and fame. If you think about it that way, accepting that offer was very dangerous.

‘Even if they don’t stab you in the back like this, it’s still a problem.’

The idea of bringing down the dragonlord may be true. Humans who invaded Dragonia. What if you get justification there and then move directly to dethrone the monarch?

‘It would be best if I failed, but what if I succeed?’

If he succeeds, he will have both the human world and the dragon nation in his hands. It was a very dangerous thing.

It was clear that Dragonia’s power alone would easily surpass that of three or four kingdoms.

‘It has to be that way.’

The six rulers were virtually the vanguard. Of course, even for Dragonia, there are no other ruler-level individuals with this level of skill.

It was clear that the number of private soldiers would be much greater than the number of dragons who had now advanced. Considering that a typical dragon soldier had the strength to handle more than ten infantry, giving him military power was a very risky decision.

‘In that sense, the dragonlord is better.’

Dragonlord Draksis.

I don’t know if he is truly mortally wounded and is hiding out, or if he is not showing up for some reason.

But one thing is certain.

The fact is that it has been very quiet for at least the past ten years. I don’t know if it will continue or not, but at least something was clear. The truth was that if left alone, it would at least move less aggressively than the demon dragon.

‘If you promise to cooperate just to buy time.’

War does not start overnight. Considering that, if we promise to attack Dragonia, we will be able to buy at least a couple of months.

‘War.’

No matter what you chose, it was an inevitable result. The moment he looked at the demon dragon with his decision made. The demon dragon spoke one step ahead of him.

-It must be a difficult choice. I completely understand. Looking at those eyes, I can understand which option you will choose.

“….”

―I think I know roughly what you’re worried about. How about this?

“…What are you talking about?”

-I will personally go to the duke and make an oath.

“…You want to make an oath?”

Ethan tilted his head.

This was because the conditions were so incomprehensible. An oath was not something to be taken lightly, even by an absolute person. This was a fact that could be clearly seen just by looking at Lorotia.

Isn’t the monarch who stole Ysera’s body just a few weeks ago and is now very actively cooperating with her?

A change of heart certainly played a part, but the most decisive reason was the oath. This was because the oath, which imposed restrictions using the mana contained within the body, imposed a huge penalty if broken.

If Lorotia breaks the oath right now, half of the mana in her body will be lost.

Therefore, an oath was not something that could be said easily, no matter what hierarchy one belonged to. Even Ethan could count on one finger the number of times he made a pact. Because once you make a promise, you have to keep it unconditionally.

“…What are you going to make an oath with?”

―What is the Duke’s biggest worry? I think the church’s forces, including me, are trying to turn Heidern around.

“….”

It wasn’t wrong. As long as the Demon Dragon didn’t hit Dragonia in the back, hitting Dragonia itself wasn’t such a bad condition. This was so in terms of buying time and in the sense that the Demon Dragon’s power would increase due to the invasion.

The only remaining ruler, the Demon Dragon.

What if this guy’s power grows?

It was clear that the monarch would not be pleased. What would be the reason for demoting a war hero, or worse, beheading him? In the end, isn’t it because its reputation and military power have grown to the point where it threatens its own power? If that happens, Dragonia will definitely start to squeak.

-I completely understand that anxiety. Even if it were me, I would have no choice but to worry about that. There is no such thing as a good person who would do good things for others without thinking about it. So, I will make a pledge. If so, wouldn’t it be worth accepting my offer?

Does this guy not think that he is exhibiting such behavior?

It was surprising.

‘…No, it’s better to think about important things first.’

Is it right or wrong to accept that offer? It was time to think about this fact.

“If you make an oath with a few more conditions, I’ll accept it.”

-Tell me.

“We will not touch the army heading to Dragonia.”

-Hmm, I guess I’ll still have to pretend.

“You can figure that out on your own, right?”

-Well, that’s good. Instead, please lend me some of Ardan’s pieces.

“What if it’s a piece of equipment?”

―Isn’t there something like armor or weapons with markings on them? If you can prepare them, I will accept your offer.

It would not be difficult to manipulate the traces. So, it would be easy to accept this offer.

‘…Not bad.’

Ethan made an immediate decision. The reason we included a clause not to touch the army heading towards Dragonia was to prepare for the enemy attacking in both directions.

This is a monarch who has been in seclusion for a whopping ten years. Even if the human army invaded, there was no way they would show up right away.

In that case, the most dangerous being was the demon dragon. As long as I could limit his movements, the rest was no problem.

If the safety of Heidern and his army could be guaranteed in this way, the advantage was clear. Demon Dragon will definitely gain fame during this process.

That the conflict with the monarch ignites.

Even if a war breaks out in the future, he will have no choice but to worry about it. Of course, there was instability in this premise as well.

‘The worst kind of family is…’ One

that uses that reputation to usurp the position of monarch in one fell swoop. If he succeeds, a more difficult fight awaits him than now.

Even so, it was something that could not be done right now. Isn’t it a situation where we can’t even properly know whether the demon dragon is stronger than the monarch or not?

If I compare the monarch of my past life with the current demon dragon, I can be sure that the demon dragon in front of me is stronger.

‘However… the rulers of this life are not likely to have been idle until now…’

Unlike their previous lives, most of the rulers possessed greater power. Is it any different as a monarch?

I wonder if he was truly in a coma. Otherwise, there was a high possibility that he would have grown differently from the past.

If we take that into consideration, the fight would be closer to the Middle Ages.

‘Well, if it’s really a coma, it will end easily.’

done.

There were too many variables to consider them all one by one.

There was no rule that simply predicting things would work out in that direction.

“Only if you make the pledge yourself. “Let me accept it.”

-Okay, let’s go there. See you in an hour.

Contact with the crystal sphere has been lost.

Ysera, who was quietly listening to the conversation between the two, asked.

“…Are you saying that the demon dragon is coming here in person?”

“I think so.”

gulp.

Ysera swallowed.

“If he tries to harm me….”

“He won’t be defeated easily. “If we work together, we can at least save our lives.”

The odds of winning are about 50%.

Even if you set it low, it is 40%.

That meant that it was quite possible to inflict fatal wounds on the guy even if he went.

“Calling the knights…”

“You know, right? “For the Absolute, such things are virtually meaningless.”

However, there was no point in gathering transcendents. He said he would come in an hour. Even for the closest transcendental person, it would take at least two days to get here.

Anyway, if he made up his mind to come, the only thing I could do right away was prepare my mind.

“I’ll wake you up, so just meditate.”

“…yes.”

After about an hour, the space began to tremble. Soon, a demonic dragon wearing a robe appeared.
