I Regressed to My Ruined Family – 12

 #I returned, and my family was ruined (12)

[Show me your talent.]

A massive amount of fire energy flowed out from the essence of fire on his wrist.

He was manipulating the fire energy with ease. The voice of the Lord of Fire was intrigued.

[You have quite a talent for a human. Your physical form is truly unimpressive, though…]

“Have you passed?”

If you were a member of the family, you could receive a blessing from an elemental spirit commensurate with your talent.

Ethan’s talent with fire was so great that even the highest-ranking elemental spirits were not worthy of blessing him.

Only someone of his rank as a lord would be worthy.

[Yes. You pass.]

A huge ball of fire gradually took shape. It was the figure of a girl engulfed in flames.

[I, Lorocia, the lord of fire, will bestow my blessing upon you myself.]

“Lorocia?”

For someone with such tremendous power, her name was surprisingly cute.

He almost laughed out loud. The girl of fire approached Ethan.

[Are those humans also gathered to receive blessings?]

“Yes.”

[Then let’s give them gifts as well. That would be better than the blessings of my subjects.] “As you wish.”

Lolotia was right.

A single breath from the Spirit Lord would be far better than the blessings of a high-ranking spirit giving their all.

It was a great fortune for Elena and Myers.

[You first.]

Lolothia, transformed into tens of thousands of sparks, dug into his entire body. From head to toe.

The sparks were sucked in as if drawn by a magnet.

“Ugh!”

He felt tremendous heat throughout his body. It was as if his insides were being cooked alive.

Even the blessing of Ignis, the highest-ranking spirit, did not produce this kind of heat.

“I guess being a spirit lord makes a difference.”

Every time the fiery energy circulated through his blood vessels, the waste products that had accumulated were completely eliminated.

The effects did not end there.

The intense heat purified his blood vessels, making them strong and clean.

It was an incredible coincidence.

Smoke rose from Ethan’s body. He closed his eyes and began to breathe deeply. Black flames began to control the heat inside him.

“This is difficult.”

The heat circulating inside his body was the very essence of the spirit lord. That was why it was so difficult to control.

It was at that moment.

[How dare a human try to control me?]

“I think there must be a more efficient way to do this.”

The spirit lord was simply circling around the large blood vessels, purifying the body.

The blessing of fire.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

It would be a shame to waste it like this.

‘If I combine the Spirit Lord’s power with my control…’

I would be able to improve my body much more efficiently.

As soon as Ethan finished speaking, a loud laugh echoed throughout the shrine.

[Hahahaha! Go ahead and try. If you can control even a single spark, I will acknowledge you. Of course, it’s impossible.]

“If you succeed, you must obey my control completely.”

[I will.]

Ethan smiled quietly.

Transcendent.

When he reached that level and faced the Dragon Lord, Ethan had such powerful control that he could move even intense flames like this at will.

His body was in poor condition, but his experience remained intact.

He concentrated his mind.

As the black flames continued to blow, the Spirit Lord’s flames began to flicker slightly. Lorocia was terrified when she felt her control wavering.

“How dare a human!”

Just a moment ago, the bet was just a joke.

But now, she felt like she might actually lose the bet.

If she lost a bet to a human…

She would be ridiculed by the other rulers for the rest of her life.

With a stern expression, Lorocia also began to concentrate intensely.

The battle of strength between the two continued.

At some point, Lorocia felt the spark return to her control and whispered quietly.

“You look tired, human.”

Ethan closed his eyes and didn’t move a muscle.

“Have you given up? How pathetic.”

His voice was triumphant.

Just then.

He focused all his attention on a tiny spark.

Now that his opponent had let his guard down, it was the perfect moment to seize control. In an instant, control of one of the sparks shifted.

Although it was only one of tens of thousands, he had taken control of the flames that the Lord of Fire had been controlling. [Huh?]

It was a panicked voice.

Lolotia couldn’t hide her confusion. It was the first time she had ever been defeated by a human, and the first time she had ever lost control of the flames she ruled over.

“I think I did it.”

[……]

“We shouldn’t have let our guard down.”

[Ee…

“Keep your promise, Spirit Lord.”

[I will!

Soon, tens of thousands of sparks began to move according to Ethan’s will.

“Good.”

In addition to the large blood vessels in the human body, there were also very small ones.

Their number was so great that even Ethan could not easily count them.

“I only realized this after becoming a transcendent being.”

It was important to train the blood vessels that could be seen, but it was also very important to train the microscopic blood vessels that were invisible to the naked eye.

The flames of a ruler would be able to completely purify even these minute blood vessels. Ethan began to control the flames at will.

* * *

[Is it finished?]

“Just a little more.”

[You’ve been saying that for two hours already! There’s not much time left before the descent!]

“Wait. It’ll be over soon.”

Using Lorocia, he purified even the finest blood vessels and got his money’s worth.

Soon, Ethan nodded.

“That’s enough.”

He purified more than 90% of the blood vessels in his body.

In his previous life, he had only been able to do this after achieving transcendence.

It was as if the continent’s greatest equipment had been given the continent’s greatest body.

It was an incredible achievement.

“It’s over.”

[Hoo. I can’t believe I’m under human control. It feels really strange. Anyway, I got my money’s worth.]

It was just as Lotorita had said.

Not only did he use the boy’s immense power to blow heat into the essence in his wrist, but he also planted a new essence of fire in his arm.

Ethan smiled slightly.

“There are still two more left.”

[You’re really using them well, human.]

The lord of fire muttered as he approached Myers.

[Ardan family, know this as glory.]

Hot breath began to envelop Myers’ body.

[Girl, you come here too.]

“Yes.”

Elena cautiously approached Lorocia. Soon, she too was enveloped in the breath of fire like Myers.

[It’s just a simple breath, but even so, it’s better than Ignis’ blessing.]

The lord said triumphantly.

Even to Ethan, it was clear.

‘There is a huge gap between the lord and the highest-ranking spirit.’

Even if dozens of Ignis gathered, they would not be able to scratch the Fire Lord. That was how powerful Lorocia’s power was.

“Well done.”

[That was fun. See you again, child of fire.]

Lorocia was sucked into the passageway.

In an instant, the passageway closed.

Myers and Elena were still engulfed in flames.

Ugh!

Ugh!

Not only were their bones slowly changing, but all the impurities inside their bodies were being burned away.

“I’ll have to wait a little longer.”

Ethan quietly sat down cross-legged.

“Oh my god.”

Hans, who had watched the entire scene from beginning to end, opened his mouth wide in shock.

An elemental lord!

It was a name that appeared only occasionally in ancient texts.

It was said that such beings had not appeared in reality since hundreds of years ago.

Such a being was bestowing blessings upon the direct descendants of the duke?

Hans suddenly realized how important the Festival of Fire was. If the collateral branches had known about this, they would have turned the temple upside down.

Of course, it would have been useless anyway, as only the direct descendants of the family could receive the blessing.

From today on, even the word “monster” would not be enough to describe him.

Unlike his brothers, who had barely managed to catch a breath, the Grand Duke had held the Lord of Fire inside him for nearly two hours.

Gulp.

Hans swallowed hard.

“He brought me here to show me this.”

A being capable of summoning the Lord of Fire. There was no doubt that he was trying to reveal that power to draw Hans to his side.

“I’ll have to take this to my grave.”

From the memory modification to the Festival of Fire.

He decided that these two memories would remain only in his mind for the rest of his life.

If he uttered a single word, his throat would be the first to be cut.

* *

It was about an hour later when the two of them came to their senses.

“Myers?”

“Hey, sister?”

The two were surprised when they saw each other’s faces.

That was because so much of their appearances had changed.

Perhaps because their skin was softer, their expressions were brighter, and all the excess fat on their bodies had disappeared, making their skeletons look much better than before.

It was an amazing change.

Ethan had undergone the same transformation.

Not only had his body, which had been emaciated from a long period of bed rest and had an unattractive bone structure, changed dramatically, but his sharp features had also softened as if he had been blessed.

“Wow. You look so much better than before, brother. You look really pretty too, sister.”

“You too.”

“The Lord of Fire is really amazing.”

He was indeed an amazing being.

In his previous life, there was not a single member of his family who had summoned the Lord of Fire.

Even the heads of the family, who were considered to have the greatest talent in history, could only summon Ignis, the highest-ranking spirit.

Even Ethan would not have been able to summon the Lord of Fire if he had not returned to the past with the experience of a transcendent being.

It was an incredible coincidence.

Growl!

A loud sound echoed from inside Myers’ stomach.

He looked at Ethan.

“Is it normal to feel this hungry when you receive a blessing?”

“It’s like being reborn. It’s normal.”

“Then let’s eat. How about it?”

“Not here.”

“Is there somewhere else to eat?”

“Yes.”

Normally, after receiving the blessing of fire, one would suffer from tremendous hunger.

Since it was impossible to eat in the sacred temple, the members of the family had prepared a place to eat in case of emergencies.

It was called a shelter.

The shelter was located deep in the mountains.

It served as a place to eat and also as a warehouse for storing the byproducts obtained from monsters.

“If we’re lucky, we might be able to get some monster by-products.”

Pushikes Mountains.

The monsters and beasts that came out of this place were quite powerful. As such, their by-products were also very valuable.

If we were lucky, we might be able to get various items.

When I explained about the shelter, Myers’ face lit up.

“Wow. There was such a place? Then the butler can serve us better food. Let’s go!”

He stepped outside the shrine with high spirits. Ethan smiled wryly and followed him. They arrived at the shelter in no time.

“It’s just as I remembered.”

It was a small building made of logs. At first glance, it looked like a temporary shelter for hunters.

“Please wait a moment.”

Hans, who had entered first, opened the window and began to diligently air out the dust.

“Ahem! You can come in now!”

The three entered the temporary shelter. Although the building looked abandoned, it had everything they needed.

“I’ll prepare something to eat right away.”

The animal meat they had obtained during their journey spilled out of their travel bags.

After they had eaten their fill,

Ethan looked back and forth between Hans and Myers. He motioned quietly, and the two quickly ran over.

“Did you call, Prince?”

“Bring your bags and follow me. Myers, you come too.”

“Yes.”

“Got it.”

Ethan stepped outside the shelter and began to search every corner of the outskirts.

“Is this the place?”

The moment he stepped on a bulging part with his foot, there was a clicking sound.

Click!

With the sound of something unlocking, the floor door opened.

A staircase leading downward came into view.

“Found it.”

It was the storage room for miscellaneous items in the temporary residence.

His memory was fuzzy, but it matched, so he was relieved.

The three of them began descending the stairs.
