Chapter 125
I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 125
#When I returned, my family was ruined (126)
‘It’s too easy.’
Also starting a fire.
Also, establishing a base.
Also hunting monsters.
For the Kingdom’s First Sword, it was just too easy.
No, it would be more accurate to say that it has become so easy now.
When leaving the starting point.
For the first week, life was so difficult that it had to be called ‘survival’. I didn’t know how to start a fire, it was difficult to find a base in the blizzard, and I couldn’t even see where the many monsters and beasts were hiding.
I definitely had a hard time back then.
But those hardships had long since faded from Mileton’s mind. This was because he was already enjoying the heat inside the cave with a warm bonfire.
That too while chewing gently smoked rabbit meat.
‘At best, with this much training…’
You added grandiose words like survival?
Mileton smiled quietly as he thought of Duke Ethan, one of his greatest rivals.
‘Was the duke at best like this?’
The person who was so perfect that it seemed impossible to find a single flaw was the Duke. This survival training was too easy for someone like that to have designed it.
‘but.’
How can you easily guess the talent of someone like you?
An element that even rivals who were close to perfection could not have anticipated. That was his outstanding ‘potential’.
“Hehe.”
Mileton, nestled in the cave, smiled quietly.
If a person is too angular, the affection they had will fall away.
Now the duke seemed a little more human.
‘You’re revealing a gap in me.’
Perhaps this is a sign that the duke is slowly opening his heart to her.
‘He’s a duke.’
It seemed like a person with that level of rank and skill would be worthy of being his ‘friend’.
Of course, that would happen after Ysera’s heart was brought back this way.
He recalled the topography of the Great Mountain Range.
The ‘territory’ the duke had drawn.
The place where he was located was close to the end of the area.
“If the range expands, it will become more troublesome to protect them, and with your skills, it will be difficult for you to survive for a long time if you leave this area.”
The duke clearly used the expression ‘you’. What is your scope here?
It was obvious.
Dorothy. Zeros. Leon.
‘It’s probably a name that pinpoints these three people.’
It is difficult to survive for a long time if you leave the vicinity. What if you survive for a long time in such a situation?
‘Instead of being deducted, you can actually get an explosive score.’
After taking last place in the ranking competition.
The letter I received from my father was enough to chill my heart just by looking at the words.
Don’t tarnish your family’s name.
A letter with only one line.
However, hundreds of lines could not be enough to express the negative emotions felt toward Mileton.
‘You have to prove your skills in this ranking match.’
If I survived like this, of course I wouldn’t be able to get a high score.
‘I guess I’ll have to cross the territory.’
Enter the territory, survive as if you were trying to show off, get a high score, and then defeat the duke, who can be said to be your lifelong rival, to raise the name of your family.
Mileton’s eyes sparkled.
So he began to move beyond the area designated by the duke.
‘It’s quite cold.’
The weather was definitely different outside the area. I could clearly feel the bitter wind.
An icy road filled with snow.
An ordinary reviewer wouldn’t be able to survive here even for a day, but…
‘I’m different.’
It was the moment when Mileton, his eyes shining, was passing through an icy road.
Wow!
“…?”
In an instant, the ice collapsed.
“Aaaah!”
Soon his new model began to fall into the endless underground.
* * *
‘It’s much better than before.’
Ethan, who was chewing beef jerky on a tree and looking at the spearman and the glasses man, frowned.
‘…huh?’
Mana planted in Mileton.
This was because the mana was trembling like crazy. When I saw a faint feeling of mana…
‘I think I went outside the area.’
It must have gone beyond the detection range. As I concentrated, I could feel his heartbeat.
The boy’s heart was beating very violently, as if he had encountered a very scary sight.
Immediately afterwards, Mana shook violently, as if receiving a dull shock.
‘Did he fall down a cliff somewhere?’
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the current phenomenon. When I saw his heart continuing to beat, fortunately, it seemed like he wasn’t dead.
Ethan began to break through the mountain range at high speed.
It was after running for about an hour chasing the faint energy of mana.
A huge crack was visible in the distance.
‘There you are.’
It was a hole that Mileton supposedly fell into. Ethan approached the area and looked down.
The cracks were so deep that they seemed endless, as if a huge beast had its mouth wide open.
‘It’s brave that you didn’t die.’
Ethan laughed and jumped into the crack without hesitation.
The falling new model gradually began to accelerate, but there was not an ounce of fear in his eyes. Mana control beyond imagination created a blazing platform in the air.
He landed comfortably as if he was going down stairs, looked around, and immediately his eyes lit up.
‘Hoo.’
Of course, contrary to what I thought was a shipwrecked Mileton, I could feel other signs of life at the bottom of the cliff.
People wearing robes were seen blowing mana into metal piled on the floor. Ethan’s presence suddenly faded.
Soon a voice was heard.
“What is this month’s tribute? Are you ready?”
“Yes, Dark Lord. The metal is already prepared. The investigation into the article that was dropped earlier has also been completed. “I think it’s the best sword in the kingdom.”
“The kingdom’s best sword? “Are you talking about milestones?”
“yes.”
“The rumors were true.”
“Rumors?”
“I heard that the duke and the later leaders visited the Great Mountains for training.”
“Ah, so that’s why the kingdom’s greatest sword came here!”
“I guess so. “Have you investigated the top of the cliff where he fell?”
“yes. As a result of the investigation, there were no significant traces. I guess he was wandering around alone and lost his footing…”
“What an unlucky guy.”
“Lord of Darkness, what do you plan to do with the kingdom’s greatest sword? Do you plan to release it or…”
“I will offer it as a tribute.”
“…Are you going to be okay?”
“No one will know that this guy fell here anyway. If he is declared dead, there will be great friction between Duke Lacian and Duke Ethan.
“ah! “I’m sure His Excellency Duke Himos will welcome this.”
“okay. “I’m sure Your Excellency will agree.”
“Then we will organize it as a special tribute and offer it separately.”
“So be it. I think Illas will be quite satisfied this month.”
“What the Dark Lord said is correct. Since you have a lot of mana, you will definitely be satisfied. If we do well, he might give us a ‘blessing’…”
“Hehe… I’m already looking forward to it.”
‘Drink the dark horse.’
It was a person I had previously seen at the enlightenment ceremony that Theron had invaded.
‘It was a facility related to the Duke of Agiles.’
The situation was quite interesting.
In their conversations, stories of a ‘special tribute’, presumed to be Mileton, were occasionally coming out.
Ethan quietly broke inside and looked around.
From the magic lights lit up here and there to the papers that appear to be research materials placed here and there.
‘It looks closer to some kind of research facility.’
Mileton.
Thanks to that guy, I found an unexpected place.
‘I guess I should give it extra points.’
Deducted 200 points for going out of bounds.
Deduction of two hundred points due to death.
It seemed like twenty points could be raised here at the instructor’s discretion.
Of course, that doesn’t change the fact that last place has been decided. Ethan began to move into the laboratory, following the mana energy planted inside Mileton.
* * *
“You crazy bastards! How many times haven’t I told you who I am… ugh!”
“noisy.”
Mileton immediately covered his mouth and gritted his teeth.
After falling down a crack with no end in sight.
Although he managed to absorb the huge impact, he was soon overpowered by the magicians who began to flock in.
‘shit! ‘If only my mana was fine!’
The cause of defeat was the use of a large amount of mana to reduce the falling speed. With the remaining mana, I couldn’t fight off the wizards who flocked to me like a pack of dogs.
Even though I revealed my identity, their reaction was extremely cold.
“Is the special tribute ready?”
“yes. All you have to do is take him.”
“Uuuuup!”
Mileton, wearing mana restraints all over his body, began to be dragged away.
‘A tribute!’
Just looking at it, it definitely didn’t have a good tone. Moreover, the likelihood that the wizards who set up a secret space deep underground like this were normal people was extremely low.
‘Crazy guys!’
It was the moment when Mileton shook his body violently. A wizard clicked his tongue in annoyance and spoke.
“Do not resist. Your fate has already been decided. Illas is a merciful person. “You will chew every part of your body delicately so that you can fully enjoy the end of your life.”
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu (you crazy guy)!”
“okay. It looks like you feel so good that your whole body is shaking. Don’t worry. “You will see him soon.”
The place where the grinning wizard arrived was right in front of a door made of dark red metal.
In front of a door full of magic circles.
The wizard who knocked politely on the door opened his mouth.
[Le Tao Shi Kan]
After saying strange words, he infused mana into the door.
Kkeikkeek….
The huge door slowly opened.
Deep inside.
Mileton’s eyes fluttered as he faced the gigantic figure.
‘What…what is it?’
The owner in the room was not human.
Almost 4m tall.
Where in the world is there a human with bright yellow eyes?
Crash!
The huge monster was chewing the dark red metal as if it were candy.
The wizard who saw Ilas bowed his head politely and whispered the dragon language.
[Today’s special tribute. Please enjoy it to your heart’s content…]
Right then.
Illas’ gaze was directed at the ceiling, not at the wizard. Soon Yongin began to show his teeth.
The metal dragon Illas growled for a while and spoke to the wizard.
[Are there two special tributes to offer today?]
[…Yes?]
[I guess not.]
Pow!
The wizard’s head exploded in an instant.
“You saw me as a human.”
The moment the dragon who was looking upward spoke, a seal fell from the ceiling.
“You’re quick to notice a dragon bastard.”
It was a voice mixed with light anger and laughter.
Mileton widened his eyes.
Because it was a very familiar voice.
“Uuuuuup (Duke Ethan)?”
It was the appearance of an unexpected savior.
“Uuuuuup (help me)!”
Soon after, Mileton started screaming.
