I Regressed to My Ruined Family

I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 155

＃After returning, the family was ruined (156)

Earl Wallington, who saw the people of Agiles leaving, looked at Ethan. I saw a face that had turned as white as wax.

He looked gaunt.

‘…Amazing.’

The duke was not a transcendental person.

However, the blow shown just now contained such a distant power that it reminded me of a transcendental being.

‘It was definitely over the wall.’

Such cases were not unheard of.

As you risk your life in life-or-death situations, there are times when you reach a state of trance and have to overcome a wall. But the Duke’s case was completely different. The duke’s eyes at the time of sparring were too cool to be considered a state of trance. Reason was clearly alive.

‘Is it possible… to forcefully cross the wall, even for a moment?’

Forcefully climbing over a wall.

This is impossible in general for any profession. If it were easy, the superhumans existing in this world would have revealed their transcendent power during battle. This was a first for Wallington, who handled a lot of information. That wasn’t the only strange thing.

‘He handled his power very skillfully.’

A sword struck at the last moment.

What was contained in that sword strike was not heat, but pure purifying power. It meant that the properties of the white flame containing the power of transcendence were changed to suit one’s own taste. It was a very skillful distribution and use of power.

It’s like…

‘Don’t you feel like you’ve experienced the state of transcendence?’

What would it have been like if it were you, the same superhuman? The moment he drew on and utilized the power of transcendence, he would not have been able to control it.

It was beyond surprising and even astounding. Of course, the duke did not use such power for free.

Blood flowing out from the hole.

Even his face turned as white as wax. There was no doubt that he had suffered internal injuries.

However, the price for using the power of transcendence was very light. Usually, the price was paid with one’s life.

“…Are you okay?”

“okay.”

His voice seemed calm on the outside, but deep fatigue was evident inside. He then looked at the later indices and said.

“Let’s do self-training today. Oh, and…”

“I’ll take the third brother with me. “Brother, get some rest.”

Myers said astutely.

Soon he put Theron on his back.

Ethan nodded and headed toward his room. He lay down on the bed and laughed bitterly.

‘I’m dying.’

I put my dizzy head back and looked at my body. Most blood vessels were damaged. It was not unusual as the vibration method was used and a sudden huge amount of heat was encountered.

It seemed like I would need some medical treatment for a while.

‘Well, anyway…’

I had no regrets because I saved the third child.

In her past life, didn’t Theron risk her life for herself? He controlled his inner self using breathing techniques and closed his eyes. It was an instant for me to fall into the flood.

* * *

“…Duke?”

Ysera, who had been lingering in front of Ethan’s room, carefully knocked on the door.

But there was no answer.

Ysera’s face turned white. An image of the Duke coughing up blood appeared in her mind.

“I’m going in!”

Ysera urgently grabbed the doorknob and entered the duke’s room. The first thing I felt was the intense heat. Even though the weather was winter, a hazy haze was created in the room. The place where the heat was coming from was right on the bed where the peacock was.

“Duke?”

His stomach was whiter than usual, and his face was full of sweat.

She rushed over and grabbed Ethan’s hand. I felt a burning heat as if I had touched a lump of hot charcoal. Even the pulse was faint.

Ysera closed her eyes and carefully breathed mana into his body. It was to observe the state of the body. Her face turned white as she examined the duke’s veins.

The blood vessels spread throughout the body were cracked, as if a drought had occurred. My physical condition was much more serious than I thought.

It was not something that could be resolved by calling a doctor.

‘How to!’

Ysera’s pupils fluttered.

She was confused and thought of a solution. In order to heal blood vessels damaged by the heat, powerful vitality was needed.

‘…Water spirit.’

A water spirit was needed.

She urgently summoned Aqua.

Kuu.

“Aqua. “I’ll ask for treatment.”

The spirit that was tilting its head nodded vigorously. Soon, a lesser spirit burrowed into the duke’s body.

Cheeeee!

Acrid smoke rose from the duke’s body, as if water had been sprinkled on hot iron. Isera’s face, which had been sparkling with eyes, hardened.

This was because the spirit was summoned back before it could last even a minute in the duke’s body.

She summoned the water spirit once again. A huge amount of mana was needed to summon the reverse summoned spirit, but it didn’t matter to Ysera.

The spirit entered and disappeared…

and the process was repeated.

Every time, her face became stiff.

‘It’s not possible with a low-level spirit.’

No matter how much mana was infused into the spirit, it was only a low-level spirit. It was impossible to exert a power that surpassed the ‘level’ of existence.

A higher spirit was needed.

‘…Can I do it?’

I hadn’t been playing until now. Because I have been trying to summon spirits of intermediate level or higher. However, water-attribute spirits could only summon low-class spirits.

‘No, you must do it.’

If he was not careful, he could have lost the duke forever. It was so terrible that I couldn’t even imagine it. Who in this world can ‘dominate’ oneself so completely?

This would not have been possible without my husband.

She took a deep breath.

If you rush to work because you are desperate, you will end up with neither porridge nor rice. In order to summon the water spirit, he had to control his high affinity for fire.

water and fire.

Because the two had extreme compatibility.

‘how?’

Immediately, Ysera’s eyes lit up.

This was because a clue was found inside the duke’s body.

Unlike a normal knight collecting mana in the mana hole in his Danjeon, his mana was concentrated in two places: the mana hole and the heart.

‘Collect the familiar nature of fire in your heart…’

What if you could gather the nature of water into a mana hole? Normally, he would be able to store his energy in one place and spread the mana appropriate for his attribute throughout his body whenever he wanted.

It was a complete correction of the body. It wasn’t going to be easy, but there was no option not to try.

I felt fire spreading through my body. Unlike in the past, the heightened control over mana was helping to unite the attributes.

Exciting!

Fiery mana began to flow into my heart. The heat spreading from the fires gathered in one place was almost reaching my head. Even though I was sweating profusely, I continued to build up my attributes.

‘Grow up. Grow bigger…’

Like a snowball gradually growing in size, the central point of the fire began to increase in size. All the surrounding heat rushed in due to the powerful heat generated by the heart. A desperation and earnestness that had never occurred before in her life was pushing her concentration to its peak.

When a long time has passed.

‘…done!’

Ysera’s eyes lit up.

The fiery mana was tightly packed in her heart.

It was so large that it could completely envelop the heart. Perhaps because of the fire concentrated in one place, the fiery mana flowing within the body had long since completely disappeared. Now it was time to gather water attribute mana.

The second attempt was easier. Water mana slowly began to fill her mana hole.

The moment when the mana of water gathered in one place and formed a round shape.

[I, Ysera, call upon the waters.]

She spat out the elemental language.

The water mana spread throughout my body like waves.

When calling a spirit, only water mana was used, so firearms did not interfere with the summoning. Soon, a distortion was created in the room.

A spirit that appeared to be female peeked out from within the surface, which resembled a gentle wave.

Ysera’s eyes lit up. I had seen a spirit with that appearance in a family book. It was definitely a high-level spirit. Immediately afterwards, the spirit spoke with its eyes wide open.

[Monarch’s contractor? How did the fire spirit summon me…]

[Let’s make a contract. Quick!]

[Uh… Huh?]

[Name!]

[It’s Lindaia…]

[Lindaia, do you want to make a contract?]

The spirit trembled.

This was because the spirit master was glaring at him as if he was trying to eat him.

[I’ll do it.]

The power of a high-level spirit was engraved into the mana of the water. Without even having time to feel the refreshing mana, Ysera made her first request.

“Treat the Duke.”

[good. But I can’t do it perfectly.]

I didn’t even want that.

Even if the highest water spirit comes, it won’t be able to completely capture the duke’s fire.

The priority now was to put out the fire urgently. Soon, a superior spirit began circling the duke’s body.

[Oh my… his physical condition is terrible.]

Unlike the lower-level spirit that disappeared without a trace, the upper-level spirit was in fairly good shape even as it moved around the duke’s entire body. It was the result of combining the status of a spirit and the enormous mana of a spiritist. After wandering around diligently for about twenty minutes, the spirit came out of my body.

[I looked at everything I could fix. The fire was quickly put out, so you can rest assured.]

“It’s okay, right? huh?”

[…maybe. If I get treatment from time to time, I’ll get better soon, right?]

“Whew… thank you.”

It was worth pouring all the water’s mana into. Only then did Ysera sigh. The water spirit saw that and smiled.

The spirit looked at the human man lying quietly on the bed.

‘He’s an interesting human being.’

That human was not asleep.

I was simply recovering from the depths of my body by conserving my breathing strength.

Given his surprisingly delicate control, he would have recovered his body on its own if given time, even without his help. I was able to roughly guess why the man deceived the contractor.

The contractor, who had only summoned low-level spirits, summoned himself at once, so it was a blessing.

So this much….

‘I guess I can keep it a secret from the contractor.’

[See you again.]

The water spirit smiled and kissed Ysera’s forehead.

After the spirit disappeared.

Ysera, who had been caring for the duke for a while, quietly left the room.

‘You’re gone.’

Ethan opened his eyes.

He knew that Ysera had a crush on him.

It was for that reason that his poor physical condition was revealed. Because desperation was one of the special elixirs for transcending the realm.

It’s good if it works, but if it doesn’t, it’s not.

Unlike my light-hearted attempt, the result easily exceeded my expectations. I thought I had to be really good at it to be able to summon a mid-level spirit. I thought that alone was great enough.

However, what she summoned was a high-level spirit. Even though I only acted for a short time, I got a huge benefit.

As he examined the inside of the body, he quietly admired it. The vibration method was a technology that could provide enormous power but also brought about significant aftereffects. Since they used white salt rather than black salt, the internal injuries were quite serious.

‘I thought I would need treatment for about three months at least.’

It was different now.

This was because the enormous vitality revealed by the upper water spirit sealed the torn blood vessels and greatly shortened the time required for recovery. If I only get one or two more treatments here…

‘A week will be enough.’

Goddess of water.

It was a title that Ysera had in her previous life. Considering that a high-level spirit was summoned at once, it could be said that the potential contained in that title was still present here. Ethan, sitting cross-legged, began to recover.

* * *

Four moderate families held a meeting. It was because of a piece of news delivered today. Duke said, looking at the three family heads.

“I’m sure everyone has heard the story.”

Everyone nodded.

There is even a story about the Three Dukes exercising their right to challenge, showing amazing strength, and Ethan destroying it in one fell swoop.

I had already heard the news from the later exponents.

“I think this is an opportunity.”

―What if it’s an opportunity…?

“Isn’t it clear that we were not deeply involved in the affairs of the Three Dukes, but we just stood by?”

―…It’s not wrong.

“So, how about actively supporting the dukedom at this time and empowering the duke along with the recovery of the three princes?”

Everyone nodded.

It was right to address Theron’s problem at least once. This was especially true when it was decided to support Duke Ethan.

-I will do that. Coincidentally, our family has medicinal herbs that are good for internal injuries…

-If it is an elixir, we will also support it.

―Shouldn’t we provide support not only materially but also politically? As the Kingdom’s Council of Ministers is scheduled to be held soon, I would like to speak to His Majesty…

“It’s not a bad proposal. “I will send a letter to your Majesty.”

Kingdom Council of Ministers.

It was a meeting held once at the end of the year where heads of famous families gathered in one place.

What if the King sent an invitation to Duke Ethan here? We will be able to clearly spread throughout the kingdom the fact that he is recognized as an official duke rather than a ‘temporary’ duke. If so, he will be able to gain considerable political power.

The Duke, who synthesized the opinions of the householders, wrote a letter to be sent to the King.
