Chapter 281

I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 281

＃After returning, the family was ruined (282)

Ethan diligently completed his preparations. Unlike my usual outings, the outfit this time was extremely simple.

Plain leather armor and a moderately sharp iron sword. The color of the hair had also changed from black to brown.

This was because one of the dyes produced by Ilya was used.

[master! “You’re not planning on leaving me, are you?”

Bbangi asked, startled at the sight of him being thrown on the bed and grabbing an unknown dung sword.

Moreover, the sword he wore at his waist instead of himself was an ordinary steel sword whose name and origin were unknown.

At first, I thought it was a master swordsman so excellent that even I couldn’t feel its energy, so my heart began to beat like crazy.

No matter how much I checked, it was a shit sword. From Bbangi’s point of view, it was a weapon of such low quality that it would be a shame to even call it a ‘sword’.

So I felt even more strange.

This was because Ethan had never once removed himself from his belt. I’m sure he didn’t separate himself just to use that sword.

Ethan answered Bbangi’s question with a smile.

“I have no intention of leaving you behind.”

[Then what on earth is that sword?]

“It’s just a trick.”

He answered briefly and opened the pocket on his waist. It was a subspace pocket filled with Ilia’s magical power.

“Stay in here for now.”

[For how long?]

“About two months?”

[Hi!]

“I can’t help it. Because it is important to handle this matter quietly. Or are you just going to stay here?”

[Oh no. I’ll just go in there and go with you. But still, two months is too long, master! Please take it out at least once every fifteen days!]

“I’ll try my best.”

[…I understand.]

After putting the divine sword in my pocket.

He quietly left the palace.

‘They don’t know how to fall.’

A faint yet familiar energy could be felt from various places in the huge tree a little away from the inner castle.

They were Yongin people. They were also the ones that started to stick after hunting the shadows. I processed it once, but I saw the empty space being filled in an instant, as if it had disappeared at some point.

After that I just left it alone.

It seemed like they had come to observe their movements, but their level wasn’t that high and they rarely got close to them in the first place.

In fact, getting close to observing the transcendent is practically the same as dying. They probably knew this too, so they didn’t approach beyond a certain distance.

He was just surrounding the castle and checking when he was moving.

That was precisely why they disguised themselves as ordinary mercenaries.

Although he may have moved secretly, he had never disguised himself under a different guise.

Even a cunning cult leader would not have thought of this method. It would be difficult to imagine that Ethan, who is an Ardanian to his core, would even change the color of his unique hair.

Moreover, he never once left the territory disguised as a different person.

‘It’s been a long time since I’ve been on a journey like this.’

Traveling alone without a carriage and disguised as an ordinary weapon was something I had only experienced in my past life.

I ran for two days. Before long, we reached the border checkpoint in Heidern.

It was a place where knights and soldiers stood on strict guard with their eyes wide open. However, no one noticed him passing over the castle wall. The difference in level was too great for that to happen.

Soon I crossed the border at Limedell and within a few days I was able to arrive at the capital, Imrahil.

It was several times faster than a carriage. Even though he had been traveling for several days without a wink of sleep, Ethan’s complexion was as normal as usual. The reason was simple.

Food, clothing and shelter.

This was because these three things were perfectly resolved during the journey. For food, I used honey almond balls and beef jerky that my older sister made recently, and for drinks, I was able to use the canteen I kept in my sub-space pocket.

Washing up was actually an unnecessary activity for Ethan. This was because I didn’t have to worry about dust getting on my body just by covering my entire body with a thin mana mask.

Lastly, as for sleep….

Instead of sleeping with my eyes closed, I decided to relax through a short meditation.

Unlike the bodies of ordinary people, the body of a transcendental person was a body that went beyond its limits, so even if it didn’t sleep for a whole month, there would be no problems.

If you focus on meditation for just 20 minutes a day, you can enjoy the effect of getting some sleep.

Of course, I had no choice but to maintain a slightly more relaxed state than if I slept regularly, but when I had to move in a hurry, there was no other way.

There was no need to stop by the capital city of Limedell to go to the Elfernrys Mountains. This was because it was the way back. Nevertheless, the reason I stopped by was because there was something I wanted to check. King Bjorn.

About whether this person is really being manipulated by the church. Previously, since he had just achieved transcendence, it would have been difficult to feel uncomfortable even if Anna was manipulating the king.

‘It’s different now.’

Now he was a skilled transcendent. The objective state itself is higher than Anna. If she had done something to Bjorn, he would at least feel a sense of discomfort. Shouldn’t we at least check the status of the king of a neighboring country?

I told people around me before I left. Tell them that the head of the household has entered into training at the closed house. Recently, we have been conducting frequent closed-tube training sessions, so not many people will feel strange. Of course, if you are gone for a long time, you will start to have doubts about your whereabouts. It was important to be able to buy time in the meantime.

‘The cult leader still doesn’t know my whereabouts.’

It was obvious that he didn’t know that he was in Imrahil and that he had come to check on the king disguised as a mercenary. In the end, secrecy was the key in this case.

Even if we do get a call from the religious leader, by then the verification process will have been completed and we will have moved to the vicinity of Elfernrys. By then, it would be enough to talk about it. They said they came here to hunt a tyrant.

‘There must be a transcendental person in the palace.’

The leader of Limedell’s Guard Knights was a man who had entered the state of transcendence. Even so, Ethan was confident that his actions would not be discovered. I wasn’t sure that the reason was simply because they were the same transcendent.

‘hibernation.’

A skill obtained after killing the shadow. It was the power to lower the body’s metabolism to the limit and erase one’s own momentum to the limit. Ethan was able to take advantage of hibernation.

Still, he had better mana control than anyone else. If you could completely erase the body’s reactions, even if you were a transcendental person, it would be nearly impossible to discover yourself.

We quickly found an inn and slept for about four hours. I used Yonginhwa when I could see the royal palace in the distance.

His limbs became elongated. It was the body of an absolute worshiper. It is also the body of shadow, the leader of all worshipers.

My heart is pounding.

Starting with my heartbeat, all of my body’s reactions began to change slowly. As a moment passed, his presence became more blurred than ever. I passed the royal palace.

Countless knights of the royal guard and wizards stood guard, but not a single one noticed the new form climbing over the roofs of the entire palace. How many buildings did we pass?

I felt a powerful energy from afar. It had to be something from a transcendental person.

We quietly narrowed the distance. The Commander of the Knights of the Guard and King Bjorn were sitting together under a flower garden full of colorful flower buds.

Marquis Nocturne, commander of the Guard Knights.

He was one of the transcendents whose name was very well known in the world. The old man’s face exuded stubbornness and hardness. I could definitely feel his sharpness, enough to be called the leader of a nation’s knights.

But even the seasoned transcendent did not notice Ethan. Ethan glanced at Bjorn with a furtive glance.

A face and wrinkles that are too old for one’s age. After looking at it for a while, I felt something strange. It was such a small sense of discomfort that even Ethan, who had a better sense of spirit than anyone else, would have had a hard time feeling it if he had not been watching with suspicion.

‘…I see. The reason I didn’t feel this sense of discomfort when I first saw it was…’

Ethan’s eyes lit up. To him, a very familiar, yet hateful scent was wafting out.

After the finals of the Continental Swordsmanship Tournament.

I once had a sparring match with a demonic dragon.

The smell of mana that he gave off at that time was exactly this. It is fishy like the scent of blood, nauseating like filth, and fuels anger like an endlessly burning flame.

Such an energy completely enveloped a small energy. I only noticed it after looking at it for a while. That was definitely Anna’s energy.

‘Mixed.’

After Anna dominates Bjorn.

It was clear that the demon dragon had used his power to not reveal that fact to the public. So, even the elderly transcendental person would not be able to notice anything strange even though he was observing the king from a close range.

I found out one thing for sure.

Bjorn is already a puppet of the church.

However, I had no intention of letting go of that control now. If that happens, I don’t know how the religious leader will react. There was no need to take risks when we had not yet fully grown.

Isn’t it true that the most delicious food should be eaten last to maximize its flavor?

Slurp….

Ethan stepped back very slowly.

“…huh?”

“Why… do you… do that?”

Food! Sёarᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Is it because of the Marquis’ sharp gaze?

I saw several small birds flying into the sky from the trees.

Nocturne shook his head and lowered his head while looking at Bjorn.

“…It’s nothing, Your Majesty. I’m on edge these days… so I’m starting to pay attention to even simple animals. “We apologize for any inconvenience caused.”

“…hehe…I’m fine….”

While the two people were chatting like that. Ethan was already running out of the palace.

Towards the next destination, the desert kingdom of Deacon. Crossed the border of Limedell and crossed the border of Deacon. It felt like the weather was getting hotter as we moved.

No, it wasn’t a feeling, it was a fact. The desert kingdom, as its reputation suggests, was a country with particularly extreme heat during the day.

‘I guess I should check with the king here as well.’

Soon he arrived at the capital of the Deacon Kingdom and approached the royal castle.

The verification process was no different from Limedell.
