Regressor of the Fallen Family Chapter 416

Episode 416 – Never enter the barracks. Not just you, but anyone else. If you make a mistake again, not even your family name can save you. So, come to your senses.

Jerome remembered the face of his great-uncle, who had just passed by and patted his shoulder in encouragement.

‘How did I end up like this?’

The mage, who looked like he was his own age just by looking at his face, only cared about his family name over information about his bloodline.

When he was called the divinity of the empire, the person who patted him on the back and said, ‘As expected, he’s my nephew, hahaha’ is now treating him as a disgrace to the family.

‘Do you think this is also thanks to the family?’

He stopped the emperor from killing his own child.

And he could not prevent his teacher from being defeated by the enemy.

The current situation was created by the combination of those two reasons.

The guard of the barracks where the emperor resides.

It seemed like the situation on the battlefield wasn’t going as well as expected, but even so, I didn’t think that the imperial army would lose.

So how can you make a mistake?

I just felt sorry for my situation as an auror user, unable to escape the role of a guard during this time when the country’s great changes were unfolding.

Was his choice really wrong?

‘Your Highness Baros…’

The person who had pledged loyalty had no idea where he was or what he was doing, and he was paying the price for it.

Of course, I didn’t regret it. Regardless of the duty of a knight, if a father had known and tolerated the immorality of killing his child, he would not have been able to forgive himself.

But I couldn’t help but feel regret.

‘Wasn’t there a way to satisfy both sides?’

Even though I know there is no such way, I think about it every time. Jerome let out a long sigh and turned his attention to the battlefield.

– Wow!

Kwaaaaang.

– Argh!

Boom!

A battlefield filled with screaming, shouting, and heavy drinking.

On the battlefield where the golden dragon’s emblem had been erased, the only thing that stood out was the flame symbol.

‘Macline…’

Funnily enough, it was Macline that pledged allegiance to Prince Baros. However, seeing myself like this during the McLane expedition brought about a strange, indescribable feeling.

‘Where on earth did it go wrong?’

That vague question naturally led to a memory from the imperial family a few years ago.

Throbbing.

The wound on my right eye, which had already healed, felt sore.

‘Logan McLane.’

Just thinking about it made my teeth chatter.

A fatal wound inflicted by a kid who wasn’t even a superhuman at the time.

The wounds at that time and the defeat at that time took away the name of the empire’s divinity.

Instead, the new name that came to mind was the star of Grandia and now the king of a small country called the greatest sword of the continent, beyond the sun of McLane.

Where did the difference come from?

or not.

‘…Was there a big difference from the beginning?’

A time when I was overflowing with pride after attaining Aura at the age of just 30.

The top-level Force user, who was not even an Auror user but was only in his early twenties, was considered nothing more than an object of admonition. This was because he thought it was not a big difference as he had already reached that level in his mid-20s.

But now…

‘If I hadn’t let my guard down back then… no, no. You’re still making excuses for yourself, Jerome.’

I let my guard down at the start of the sparring, but not since I got hurt on my face.

Nevertheless, he lost and lost his right eye.

On the other hand, what was he like?

Thinking back to that time in the past, I couldn’t help but still feel passionate. The pain of losing one eye was that vivid.

As I closed my one remaining eye, the scene from that moment came back to me clearly.

The man’s sword attacks rained down like a storm.

Based on that, he was realizing the true use of his trait, Absolute sight.

Then, at some point, as soon as he realized that his moves were blocked, he used a move to block his vision and struck a decisive blow with his sword…

Ooooooooo!

‘what?!’

Suddenly, I felt a dull shock to my chin and my body felt like it was being lifted into the air.

Jerome’s consciousness faded away, along with the illusion that his imagination seemed strangely real.

Even though she had done it herself, Victoria could not help but open her mouth.

‘Is it this easy? Superhuman?’

I was so surprised that my concentration was momentarily broken.

‘Wake!’

‘Yes old!’

It was a moment when, if it weren’t for the shouts of the master who was connected by magical power, the entire strategy would have been aborted.

As I managed to come to my senses, the sight of Jerome Decade squirming with his jaw broken came into view.

‘The end…’

‘The guy is not important. Hurry!’

As he looked around, he saw knights running towards him (the golem) and soldiers pointing their fingers in this direction. There was no sound, but it was clear that everyone looked surprised.

I had to hurry.

‘Tch!’

Although it is his golem that can deal with superhumans, it is difficult to maintain it for a long time or to exert 100% power in this situation.

Victoria concentrated her senses as much as possible and increased her synchronization with the golem. Just a few seconds were enough to destroy the three charging knights.

‘Don’t waste time!’

‘I know!’

Fortunately, all the other superhumans are now on the battlefield. Even if the emperor has a guard, he cannot stop this golem.

Victoria entered the barracks with such confidence.

In the center of the vast barracks, a middle-aged man wearing golden armor was seen standing blankly alone.

Black hair, yellow skin.

As soon as she confirmed this, Victoria raised her synchronization rate with the golem to the maximum.

Then the emperor’s eyes widened as he looked at him, and he seemed to hear the surrounding sounds little by little. Among them, I was able to recognize the emperor’s deep, low-pitched voice.

however.

The content was a bit strange.

Eat.

“That’s fun.”

Sounds fun?

The emperor with a cruel smile clearly said that.

Victoria, who had an uneasy feeling about him, pauses without realizing it.

‘hurry!’

As the teacher’s urging brought me back to reality, I felt the commotion around the barracks.

Victoria controlled the golem and rushed towards the emperor.

okay. There is no need to sleep in a stuffy atmosphere.

‘If only I could kill the emperor here…’

The golem, following that will, rushed at the maximum speed it could.

‘It’s over!’

The moment the golem’s fist, filled with dark brown, powerful magic, was about to hit the emperor.

The golem’s movements went against her will and came to a standstill.

“A golem… Moreover, from such a long distance. I heard they’re from the golem school, so they’re pretty cool.”

Contrary to the content, the tone is clearly mocking.

He was the emperor who stopped the golem with a small gesture.

And only then did Victoria realize the identity of the discomfort she had felt at first.

The emperor stood alone in the center of the vast barracks.

It was only then that her senses recognized the immeasurable magical power of the traces of a huge magic circle spreading like a spider web beneath his feet.

Huge-sized magic stones embedded in every corner of a large magic circle and unusual-looking artifacts that emit intense light.

It was only then that I could clearly see them all slowly melting into the magic circle.

‘How much on earth did you pour into this magic circle!?’

Only then did my senses, which had become dull due to tuning in to the golem’s senses, come into play.

And what was most surprising was the magic power that controlled the magic circle.

‘Grand mage?!’

If the golem had eyes, they would have grown several times larger at this moment. There is literally no information about the emperor’s inaction.

But no one expected the emperor to be a superhuman.

As expected, the current emperor has shown the same process of aging as an ordinary person, having passed the age of 50.

Not only that, but most of the previous emperors grew old like ordinary people and died at the end of their lives. Contrary to popular rumors, it was almost considered an established fact that the imperial family had no special vision for Aurora magic.

‘Nonsense! The emperor!?’

The teacher must have been embarrassed as well, as his synchronization was broken and he felt the surrounding terrain becoming blurred for a moment.

“You can’t do that. Concentrate.”

Wow.

The moment the emperor said that, the consciousness that had been trying to move away from the golem became forcibly clearer and expanded.

“Let’s see… Ah, there were not one, but two. Somehow…”

It felt like a sticky magical power was pulling their souls.

‘This is possible!?’

‘How on earth?’

The priest was embarrassed at the same time, and the emperor seemed to have read his emotions and continued speaking with a chuckle.

“Understanding the soul is essential to reach class 7. Remember it, juniors. Of course, if you can get it out of my hands.”

Just right.

The moment the emperor snapped his fingers, the golem’s body spontaneously rose into the air.

“Thanks to the souls and magic power of the two mages coming into my hands, I can shorten the time considerably. Thank you.”

What does it mean?

At the moment of puzzlement, Victoria was able to force her eyes to see the entire huge magic circle inside the barracks. Although she couldn’t interpret it, she instinctively realized the horror of that magic.

‘Destructive magic on a very large scale. Do this alone…!?’

‘what?’

The emperor, who was keeping the golem floating in the air, asked in a calm tone, as if he was monologue.

“Do you know why the golden dragon is the symbol of the empire?”

Ugh.

‘Ugh!?’

‘This!?’

Parts of the golem broke apart and slowly melted into the magic circle.

The problem was that Clayton and Victoria were also feeling the pain as the golem was destroyed.

“The ancient gold dragon is depicted as the wisest of all dragons and a being who mastered all magic. And it is said that the best dragon among the gold dragons was the ruler of dragons called the divine dragon.”

Contrary to the emperor’s calm expression, Victoria and Clayton’s feelings became more urgent.

‘no!’

‘Holy shit!’

I could feel the spirit and magic possessed by the golem melting into the magic circle.

And only then did Victoria understand what the emperor meant when he thanked her for being able to shorten the time.

sacrifice.

This was a ritual of offering a sacrifice.

It was also a sacrifice of great destruction magic to destroy Kyle Castle.

The giant magic stones and artifacts that had already been placed were also melting at a rapid rate.

“And the ancient great mage Taron Ares was a great mage who mastered all magic to the extent that he was called the incarnation of dragons in an era when dragons disappeared. He even developed a way to pass on some of that power from generation to generation.”

The emperor’s words were no longer heard.

Their souls were captured by the emperor’s magic and they were struggling to escape.

Ugh.

Although that struggle only slightly delayed the destruction of the golem.

“He was also a hero who defeated those who tried to summon the ‘Great Evil’ by sacrificing humanity and led to the true liberation of humanity. In other words, we, the Ares royal family who inherited that bloodline and power, and I, who am at the pinnacle of it, are the human race. He is the rightful ruler of. So….”

Pajizik.

The bluish magic power surrounding the golem’s entire body began to forcibly crush the golem.

“Can you imagine how angry I was at your foolish struggles! You foolish things!”

I could feel the extreme anger of the emperor, who was shouting with a distorted face. A

man who invaded on his own and was angry at the justified resistance.

But his expression contained sincerity.

“Now disappear. And repent for your sins in soul-crushing pain.”

Grrrr.

‘Ahh, damn it!’

‘Leah! Come to your senses!’

They scream in the terrible pain of their souls being torn apart.

“Your screams will be the signal for the destruction of McLane. I will stop you, especially the McLane clan and its leaders, who have distorted the rightful order.” The

emperor declares. With those words, the golem completely melted into the magic circle,

and at that moment, a blue ray of light shot up from the magic circle that filled the barracks, breaking through the roof of the barracks and piercing the sky.
