I Regressed to My Ruined Family Chapter 314

＃When I returned, my family was ruined (315)

―Poor child, have you ever thought like this? It’s not that I was silent, I had no choice but to be silent.

[You had no choice but to remain silent?]

―Yes.

[….]

The demon dragon’s mouth, which was about to say something, was shut tightly. It was because I couldn’t think of anything to refute. There was no reason to deliberately expect the fall of Dragonia with that much power.

If his temperament was closer to pessimism, he might have noticed that the monarch he had seen was actually a more passionate individual than anyone else.

Since I had assisted him before establishing Dragonia, I had a deeper understanding of his nature than anyone else.

That’s why he was thinking of attacking the monarch.

If you continue to remain silent even after entering the absolute state, it must be because something is wrong.

I was confident that during the battle, his weaknesses would be revealed and that if I attacked him like an awl, I could defeat him even if he was a monarch.

Even though I thought so, the reason I was confused was because the monarch had much more overwhelming power than expected.

Regardless of whether you have weaknesses or not.

If they hit each other like this, their heads would be blown off before they could even compete. The monarch’s appearance was so gigantic and perfect that even after washing his eyes and looking at him, not even a single problem was revealed.

‘I’m saying there was definitely a problem…’

A monarch who moved more passionately than any other dragon race in the past. The reason why he had no choice but to neglect state affairs for a long time. The demon dragon’s head spun to come up with an answer.

I prayed that the issue was related to Ilshin’s safety. If it were a third external factor, you would have to pay the price for the rebellion without even being able to do anything.

―You look like you’re being unfairly treated, Lucreon.

[….]

The demon dragon was silent. It would be a lie if it wasn’t unfair. How long have you waited? An opportunity that seemed like a gift from heaven had arrived. It wasn’t that I was neglecting my training. He developed the power of Ilshin by extracting the potential of the West Continent to its limit.

The preparation was perfect. No, I thought it was perfect. But what does this result mean?

There was an irreducible difference between himself and the monarch.

I thought it was an old man in the back room, but there was a monster there.

A monster so massive and secretive that even he himself couldn’t read it. Immediately, a mysterious aura flowed from the monarch’s eyes. He said, looking at the demon dragon with eyes dripping with greed.

―There is nothing to be upset about, Lucreon. I’ve been waiting for my time for a very long time. In the end, all of this was just part of the flow.

[…That damn power was still there? Bullshit!]

The demon dragon shouted as if he was screaming.

The monarch was clearly a special being.

It started with him acting as if he knew the future. The rulers who assisted him most closely before unifying Dragonia were aware of this fact. At least they knew that the monarch had special powers.

But it has long been thought that that power was gone. This was because as time passed, the act of moving as if predicting the future decreased.

Moreover, crucially…

future time.

If that kind of power remained, there would have been no reason for him to be fatally injured by the head of the Ardan family. know the future When it comes to one’s own level, one is ahead of humans and never behind.

What reason would there be to be fatally injured in such a situation?

-There is a misunderstanding.

[Misunderstanding?]

―Just as you thought, that power was gradually fading. Then, at some point, it disappeared completely. okay. From the time they invaded the western continent. Then…

the monarch glanced at Lucreon and continued speaking.

-My power has been reborn.

The power came back?

That terrible power that allows you to glimpse the future?

The demon dragon couldn’t believe it.

Seeing the future itself was a power that made no sense in the first place. No other dragon possessed such ridiculous power. It was assumed that only monarchs had such power.

[You disappeared so badly and then reappeared? If you’re going to lie, do it believably.]

The demon dragon growled. It was quite an intentional pressure. A question aimed at extracting even one more piece of information from the monarch. Drakisis said, laughing as if it was cute at that sight.

-What can you do about something that really happened like that? When I got hit by that peacock’s sword. I thought I would never see the future again. Even when his life was at risk, his powers were not exercised. But…

-That wasn’t the case. When I was on the brink of death, I saw something. As before, the future began to come into view. Of course, it was not completely recovered. Only very fragmentary fragments of the future began to be injected into my head. Fortunately, I… was able to find myself surviving in a future that was divided countless times. And that too, as if he had entered the realm of absolute perfection…

Draksis smiled earnestly. The memories of that time still remained vivid.

When he was on the verge of death, having been fatally injured by a single human being.

If his power had not returned at all, he would have died a painful death with his internal organs burned by black flames.

However, in the seemingly fragmented future, Draksis was able to witness himself entering a new realm. Although he only saw and felt it for a moment, the experience greatly helped Draksis survive.

There was a very big difference between experiencing the above even for a moment and not experiencing it. The half-collapsed body slowly began to take shape, and soon it would be possible to overcome the danger of death.

When one tasted the absolute state, all the fragments surrounding oneself were shattered, and one was able to look around the world with a deeper and broader perspective. It was around that time that I realized a shocking fact.

I could feel it through imagery. The fact that I have numerous past lives.

Newly born and dead.

Next time, hold on a little longer and die.

As countless deaths were repeated, Draksis gradually became stronger.

The reason was simple.

This was because I vividly remembered the memories from my previous life until my death in my next life.

The memory became an experience and resided in his body. In the end, it was not enough to unite this vast southern continent into one nation, and they were able to survive until they advanced into the western continent.

The memories of my ‘past life’ continued like that and faded away after the last scene.

Blood gushing from a cut arm.

Even the human figure drenched in blood.

Draksis, who saw that scene, felt it instinctively. The fact that the power to turn back time was transferred, albeit imperfectly, to a single human being.

As a result, I even forgot most of the memories I had from my past life.

Only then did Draksis realize what exactly the meaning of ‘future vision’, which he had thought was his power in this life, was.

‘That…’

That wasn’t the ability to see the future.

It’s just a phenomenon where fragmented memories from numerous past lives remain like afterimages and pass through the mind.

As if a creature that had lost its sight was recalling scenes it had witnessed in the past. It was the last word uttered by the imperfect power.

The truth that was only revealed made Draksis more angry than ever.

I felt like tearing apart the limbs of the human who had taken away his power. But the anger did not last long. To be precise, the problem came without even a moment to get angry.

The price that brought back memories of the past and stole him to sustain his life came to him. The only thing that remained was that the memories of my past life had completely faded. The most critical problem was the fact that the absolute amount of mana in the body continued to decrease.

Mana was essential for the maintenance of life. Even the worms on the street basically had mana in their bodies.

The amount of mana consumed and received by a dragon’s body was so much that it could not be compared to that of a human. In such a situation, mana was limited.

Mana, which I never once felt was lacking as I entered the state of transcendence.

Ironically, from the moment the absolute state was achieved, the mana no longer accumulated in the body.

No matter what means I used, it was of no use. Even if you just take one step.

Even if I uttered just one word, my mana disappeared little by little.

It was a very scary thing even for a monarch who had experienced all kinds of hardships.

No matter how absolute he was, there was a limit to the skills he could display without mana support.

You must have at least a handful of mana to display a dance worthy of your absolute power. That meant Draksis had no choice but to be permanently weakened.

Therefore, he had no choice but to go into seclusion in the royal palace. Because each step was directly related to his life.

And as time passed without anyone seeing his face, Draksis began to think of numerous ways to solve this problem. It was around that time that I began to somehow recall memories of my past life with my mana gradually decreasing. Before my memory completely disappears.

I had to somehow find useful memories and hold on to that possibility.

Was it thanks to desperate efforts?

Draksis was able to find a way out. He stared at the demon dragon. The demon dragon was the solution the monarch found. The demon dragon, trembling with snake-like eyes, asked.

[Could it be… that you were waiting for me?]

If I could really see the future, even if only fragmentarily, it was no different from knowing what would happen in the future.

If so, he must have realized that he would cause a rebellion.

And yet you stayed still?

That was no different from the fact that the monarch had already completed preparations. That was why the question was mixed with fear. The answer to that question was a cheerful nod.

-Yes, I was waiting. The future whispered to me. I need a sacrifice to restore my power. A victim with useful skills. Lucreon, you were perfect.

The monarch cleverly mixed lies. The future wasn’t what it whispered. It’s just that I’m persistently recalling memories from the past that are now completely dead.

However, in order to effectively suppress the demon dragon with a small amount of mana, the opponent’s fear had to be amplified as much as possible. It was for that very reason that the conversation with the demon dragon continued. Because you need to relieve the prey as much as possible. I saw eyes filled with fear. Yes, that was the look he deserved.

Then, with a satisfied smile, Draksis lifted up a huge bone sword made of his own spine.

It was time to devour the helpless prey.
