Chapter 306

I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 306

#When I returned, my family was ruined (307)

I remembered the battle method of the demon dragon that I experienced in my previous life. Although he was a wizard, he had a fighting style that was close to that of a non-fighter. Strengthen your body with magic. With such a strengthened body, the enemy is crushed.

It could be said to be a fighting style befitting a dragon wizard in that it utilized its superior body to the limit.

The method is still the same.

The Demon Dragon’s body was harder than a tyrant, more secretive than a shadow, and sharper than a disaster.

Even the divine sword filled with mana was difficult to penetrate.

[As expected, it is strong.]

Lorotia stuck out her tongue.

I don’t know if it’s the Land of Fire, but it would have been impossible for even her to deal with a demon dragon here in Middle-earth.

At least this is because he joined forces with the Duke. If he had fought alone, he would not have been able to hold out for long and would have been forced to return to the spirit world.

The battle between the two continued.

On the surface, it seemed like a tense battle with no one being pushed back, but the reality was a little different.

This was because, while the Demon Dragon had fully preserved its power, Ethan had consumed a significant amount of mana due to the battle a while ago.

Although he cut off the head like cutting fruit on a cutting board, all of the ministers Ethan hunted were strong enough to deal with even transcendentalists to some extent. Therefore, consumption of mana was inevitable.

‘If we had dragged on too long, we would have been completely annihilated.’

I looked at the imperial army.

The number, which was close to 30,000, had been drastically reduced to around 25,000 due to the battle a while ago. Considering that it had only been a short time since the battle with high-ranking dragons, the number had decreased incredibly quickly.

The representative reason is that although he wore an armor bearing the mark of Ardan, the contents itself did not indicate a strong soldier who had constantly trained.

They were not the elite of the imperial army.

If you look at the level, it can be said that it is a military force that can be dispatched to a local area.

The loss of negative emotions such as fear had an advantage in combat, but the loss of emotions did not help effective cooperation. Because something like that can only shine through constant training.

If there had been a real conflict between Ardan’s army and the dragons, at most around 2,000 people would have been sacrificed.

The speed at which a battle line carrying a shield was penetrated would have been significantly different.

Since they were completely outmatched in terms of quality and quantity, it was natural for a massacre to occur. This was the reason why the high-ranking dragons were dealt with as quickly as possible, even while pouring in mana.

‘It’s about 3 minutes now.’

The time for the monarch to descend was not very long. I looked at the demon dragon. The guy’s pupils narrowed as if he was expressing his intention. I agreed to the signal to end it quickly.

Red energy began to flow over the demon dragon’s hand. It was the same with Shingeom. It gave off a much hotter and stronger flame than it had ever shown before.

The audience watching the battle between the two swallowed their saliva. The atmosphere was unusual. To the point where anyone would think that the next clash would be the battle.

The demon dragon rushed forward.

Before I knew it, the dragon’s hands were overlapped. Ethan didn’t avoid it either.

I swung my sword with all my might.

The moment the collision erupted, there was a huge flash of light and the surrounding area shook violently as if there had been an earthquake. The dragon soldiers who did not keep their distance were swept away by the shock wave. The soldiers who were watching the two from afar lost their balance and fell over.

When the halo of light gradually subsided.

Everyone was shocked by the sight before their eyes.

As if a very powerful explosive had been detonated, the ground had caved in for nearly 100 meters at the point of impact.

An elongated sword was drawn on the upper body of the demonic dragon floating in the sky. Green blood was seen flowing out from the wound.

Is it because of excessive bleeding?

The demon dragon’s face had long since become gaunt. Soon everyone looked around.

It was to find the duke’s whereabouts. After looking around for a while, the dragons were able to find the duke. Before he knew it, he had retreated among the human soldiers.

That too.

“Cough!”

With dead blood pouring out of the corner of his mouth. The shape of a fist was hollowed out in the chest, which had turned into black metal, like the skin of a metal dragon.

It was so large that it could be seen from afar. A red energy was still blooming above the figure.

Who won in the end?

The dragon soldiers swallowed their saliva. On the surface, both were seriously injured, but considering their physical structure, it could be said that the demon dragon had the advantage. Because the resilience of the dragon race was nothing compared to that of humans.

At that moment…

the demon dragon floating in the sky shouted loudly.

[…The duke was mortally wounded! Now is the perfect opportunity! Advance with the entire army!]

The Demon Dragon’s words were full of confidence. The soldiers’ feet began to move spontaneously at the command that sounded like thunder.

The reason the duke was afraid was because there was no expert who could deal with him. But it was different now. The ruler, the Demon Dragon, single-handedly blocked an operation that even dozens of high-ranking dragons could not stop.

They are in a situation where they have an absolute expert who can turn the tide of the war at once. There was no need to be afraid anymore. A slightly injured wild animal would run wild, but a mortally wounded wild animal would soon die.

Dragon soldiers began to flock like a tidal wave.

‘It hurts so bad.’

This was all planned, but the faint pain rising from my chest was real.

Of course, the demon dragon’s wounds were also real.

To some extent. S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

By inflicting injuries of this magnitude on both sides, he could naturally convince the demon dragon that he could not pursue him and that he would retreat.

It was for that reason that the defense was intentionally relaxed.

Of course, there is no 100% chance in anything in this world, so there was some suspicion that they didn’t have different minds until the last moment.

‘It’s a little disappointing.’

One of the conditions of the oath that the Demon Dragon made was not to intentionally harm Ethan. However, on the contrary, there was no oath stating that one should not intentionally harm the demon dragon.

The story was that the demon dragon suffered a loss if he killed himself, but on the contrary, he would not lose anything if he killed the demon dragon.

At least until the two months designated as the conquest period.

When he collided with the demon dragon, it was natural that he saw an opportunity to kill it. However, the reason I didn’t really try was simple.

This was because the demon dragon was also wary of himself.

Even if he attacked with all his might, he would not have been able to inflict fatal wounds. Because the demon dragon had prepared in his own way just like himself. A group of dragons could be seen flocking in.

‘I was almost out of mana…’

Around that time.

[I’ll leave quickly.]

Lorotia said. Ethan nodded. I could no longer maintain the descending state with the mana in my body. The color had long since disappeared from the face of Ysera, who had been watching her from afar.

‘It’s time to slowly retreat.’

The demon dragon could not harm itself, and this did not apply to other dragons as well. If high-ranking dragons flock to you in droves, you will become very tired.

Even if he was a transcendental person who could fly and crawl, he couldn’t show his full potential even in a state close to exhaustion. He said while looking at the imperial knights lined up nearby.

“Beat the soldiers in the order I mentioned last time.”

“All right. Full army! “Retreat!”

The archers and spearmen rushed back without hesitation. The only thing left were the shield soldiers in the front lines. Soldiers wearing the strongest armor to stand on the front lines.

The Balaur soldiers who were running wild rammed their weapons into the tower shield.

However, it was not difficult to break through the shield soldiers who were gathered in a circle and blocking the front line. This was especially true because these soldiers had no emotions. Because only the blindness of following orders remained clearly. It’s a cruel thing to say, but they were actually victims.

‘I should throw away what I have to throw away.’

The goal was to save as many as possible, not to save everyone. Because that was impossible in the first place. It would have been possible if he were stronger than the demon dragon, but at least that wasn’t the case right now.

Ethan didn’t have the personality to cling to things that didn’t work.

Moreover, in order for the conflict between the monarch and the demon dragon to gradually ignite, the demon dragon side had to win this battle. And that too, with a criminal record that can be proudly told to anyone. To do that, of course, a scapegoat was needed.

The demon dragon’s whisper was heard.

[Are you going to save those soldiers?]

―….

[Hmm, that’s surprising. They are not the duke’s soldiers, or at least Heidern’s soldiers, so why bother doing that?]

―Isn’t the record of devouring the entire enemy line enough to save face?

[I wonder if killing an entire army of 30,000 men, not just the enemy commander, would bring much greater fame. Do you feel any pity? At best, like dolls?]

The guy’s voice became sharp.

-It’s not a doll, it’s a human being.

[Haha, isn’t that what it is? Besides, I own the ownership of those soldiers. This is a little perplexing. I never thought he would be such a warm-hearted person.]

There was a bit of mockery in his voice. Their eyes met for a while. The silent Demon Dragon spoke with a sigh.

[Well, that’s good. Please take me with you.]

The record of wiping out an entire army may be more impressive, but this wasn’t bad at all. The most important thing was that the Duke’s army, which had been winning, was defeated. And that too with considerable damage.

To be honest, I was wondering why he would act like that when he was not one of his soldiers, but it was not a good option to cause conflict with the Duke for such a trivial reason. Isn’t there still a lot of work to do?

Several quick-footed dragons tried to chase the fleeing duke army, but stopped after being stopped by the demon dragon.

Even though he showed a questioning look in his eyes, he didn’t dare to be dissatisfied. He was a hero who caused even the highest level dragon clan over 20 to retreat while seriously injuring the Duke.

No one dared to express a different opinion.

Just a moment of doubt.

The dragons’ thoughts began to become paralyzed by the scent of blood spreading around them. There was still plenty of prey. The news of victory rang louder than ever. Now it was time to receive reward for that victory.

The number of shield soldiers surrounded by an army of 100,000 began to rapidly decrease.
