A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 104
by Hectopascal(헥토파스칼 )
Episode 104
“Both are released.”
Points can be collected again.
However if you leave the skills you have unlocked it will only delay your ability to become stronger.
Zig unlocked both skills.
And then I opened the Dragon Clan skill window.
Dragon Skills (3 levels unlocked): Dragon’s Eye (Expert) / Dragon’s Majesty (Expert) / Gluttony (Expert) / Speech Art (Beginner) / Dragon’s Ring (Expert) / Dragon’s Claw (Expert) / Dragon’s Sense (Beginner) / Dragon’s Breath (Beginner)
Zeke first tested the dragon’s senses.
Tsk tsk tsk―
A light shone from Zeke’s face.
“huh?”
But nothing much happened.
“What? I don’t see anything different from usual.”
Zig freed from the side effects of the ecstasy slowly got up.
That was when.
Kukukukuku―
Suddenly the surroundings began to change.
“What what?”
The room in the tower where Zeke was was showing a full range of scenes from the past as if it were a magical record.
Then Zeke stopped the video at one point.
“Ahhhhhhhh!”
In this room Zeke was seen treating Angelina.
Zeke was able to watch as he treated Angelina with the Great Purification as if he were a third party.
Zeke approached Angelina who was being treated.
Then the surroundings changed again.
Zeke felt as if he was sinking into a deep swamp.

The surroundings changed and someone appeared before Zeke’s eyes.
“This curse will suffice. The more beautiful the target is the more painful it will be.”
A robed sorcerer was talking to someone.
Zeke recognized the sorcerer.
He was a sorcerer who used ancient magic techniques he had acquired in his previous life.
Zeke looked at the face of the man talking to the sorcerer.
It was as if I was in a dream the objects and faces around me appeared distorted.
Zeke concentrated and studied the man’s face carefully.
A man with a stern look with a beard growing from his sideburns to his chin.
The man said to the sorcerer.
“If it’s a jewel I can’t have then it’s better for it to disappear. I should express my gratitude to Naraku for introducing me to you.”
Zeke tilted his head as he listened to the man’s words.
‘Hell? What is that?’
It was just as Zeke was about to head towards the man.
Kukukukuku―
For a moment Zeke felt as if someone was grabbing his body.
Kwakwakwakwa―
It felt like I was quickly passing through a long dark narrow passage.
When he opened his eyes he was still sitting in his original spot.
“omg!”
Zeke’s whole body was drenched in cold sweat.
“Oh my god. Is this the sense of a dragon?”
In an instant I felt an overwhelming sense of fatigue.
It was a mental fatigue that could not be filled with infinite physical strength.
Zeke couldn’t bear it any longer and collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.
* * *
Zeke who usually slept no more than four hours woke up twelve hours later.
“You shouldn’t use the 3rd level skill carelessly.”
In the first place the idea that a human could use a dragon’s skills was absurd.
The Dragon’s Sense unlocked with 500 points was like this so I had no idea what the Dragon’s Breath unlocked with 800 points would be like.
Zeke who thought he would have to check that later slowly got up and looked for Duke Graham and Catherine.
He drew a picture of the man’s face he had seen through his dragon senses the night before and showed it to them.
“Do you know a man who looks like this?”
Duke Graham looked closely at the picture Zeke had drawn and nodded.
“Yes of course I know. He is a man of great wealth called Dario Totlino the so-called Steel King of the Roman Empire.”
Catherine frowned at Dario’s painting.
She spoke in a sharp voice unable to hide her anger.

“Just looking at this man’s picture makes me angry.”
“What happened between Lady Catherine and this man named Dario?”
Catherine hesitated and then slowly opened her mouth.
“Since Sir Zeke is our family’s benefactor I will tell you frankly. Dario Totlino is a pervert among perverts who loves young girls.”
Zeke was surprised by the unexpected words.
Catherine continued.
“Would you believe that my Angelina who was ten years old when I first saw her at a party sent me letters of love that I couldn’t stop sending her? At the time she was already older than me.”
Zeke nodded after hearing Catherine’s words.
‘Is that what they meant when they said that if it’s a jewel that you can’t keep it’s better for it to disappear? I wondered why they’d put such a curse on it…’
Zeke spoke slowly to Duke Graham and Catherine.
“Your Majesty Lady Catherine. I believe it was Dario Totlino who put the curse on Lady Angelina.”
Those words startled both the Duke of Graham and Catherine.
“Is that true?”
“We’ll have to look into it further but as of now it looks like it’s likely.”
Catherine was so shocked that she was speechless.
Zeke told the Duke where the dungeon was where he had captured the ancient sorcerer in his previous life.
“After you capture the sorcerer who placed the curse contact me. Then I will find out that Dario Totlino made the request.”
“I understand Sir Zeke. How can I repay this favor….”
“You saved me this time. That’s enough.”
Zeke got up from his seat and prepared to leave for Atlas.
Since the Knights of the Red Lion were still around Panstars they planned to take the carriage of the Graham Duke family and sneak out of the border.
Zig who had packed his bags and boarded the carriage was surprised to find that there was another person inside.
“Lady Angelina?”
Angelina was in the carriage.
It was clear that no one would touch the carriage the Duke’s daughter was riding in.
Angelina smiled and said to Zeke.
“I’m so happy to be able to help Sir Zeke.”
Zeke felt the consideration of the Graham family and boarded the carriage and headed to Atlas.
While talking to Angelina in the carriage the word ‘Abyss’ which Dario Totlino had said to the ancient sorcerer kept lingering in his mind.
‘I don’t know what it is but I have a bad feeling.’
The reason Zeke told Duke Graham the location of the ancient sorcerer was to capture Dario Totlino and find out what the ‘Abyss’ was.
After gaining the sense of the dragon Zeke felt that his senses had become more acute.
‘Those guys called Narak. There’s definitely something there.’
* * *
After arriving at Atlas Zeke secretly returned to the mansion.
Lady Angelina decided to stay in Atlas for a few days and then return to Panstars.
“Sir Zeke you must come and see me while I am here.”
“Understood Lady Angelina.”
Even though the most beautiful woman on the continent was desperately clinging to him Zigg was completely unmoved.
As Zeke entered the mansion Felix and Liam who were training were the first to run over.
“Master!”
“My lord!”
Since Zeke had been away for over a month without any contact both of them and his family were worried.
Zick asked looking at the piles of crates in the mansion garden.
“What is this?”
Then Felix said excitedly.
“Silver Knight! Sent by Kali Draker!”
Zik opened the box.
‘oh my god.’
The chest was full of gold bars.
They said they would compensate me sufficiently but they sent me several boxes of gold bars.
When I opened the other boxes they were full of precious weapons.
Liam and Felix who were next to them opened their mouths wide at the gift of such an unimaginable scale.
“Zeke said closing the box.
“You guys put this in the warehouse.”
At Zeke’s words Felix and Liam who were born with poor families trembled as they carefully moved the chest containing the treasure.
As Zeke entered the mansion everyone including Duke and Farrell Decker welcomed him with cheers.
After barely finishing reporting his survival to his family Zeke went up to his room with Duke.
“You crazy disciple. I heard the story roughly from Kali. I still can’t decide whether to praise you for doing a good job or scold you for being crazy.”
“If you’re going to do it please praise me.”
“No! Do you think you have ten times more lives than others? The mission is good but in the end your life is more important you stupid disciple!”
Zeke felt the affection in Duke’s rough words and chuckled.
“I will be careful next time Master.”
Duke scratched under his nose and made an awkward expression at the sudden voice from his teacher.
“Hey you son of a bitch. Okay. Well done. Thanks to you the Four Seasons are in chaos right now.”
“It looks like there has been a change in the vote for Abel’s Guardian Knights.”
“Yes Abel must have thought that voting would be difficult in this state so he cancelled the agenda itself.”
Zeke was surprised by Duke’s words.
I never thought Abel would cancel the vote itself.
‘Does that mean that the mission to eliminate Karus failed and that relations with the Empire have also deteriorated?’
Abel’s close relationship with the empire was the greatest force supporting his political power.
However if the Empire had backed down from this incident it was highly likely that many of the elders who supported Abel would have withdrawn their support.
“After canceling the agenda Abel left the Four Seasons. It’s not certain but it seems he moved toward Alencia. The movements of the Join Ghetto are unusual and the conflict between Alencia and the Empire is on the brink of war. However he doesn’t seem to be intervening in the conflict. What are he planning to do…?”
It seemed that the situation on Alencia’s side had become more urgent than expected.
‘I guess I’ll have to contact Melissa’s side.’
After finishing his conversation with Duke Zeke immediately contacted Melissa.
And then just a few days later I got a reply.
The message said that Princess Melissa had come to Atlas herself and Zeke headed towards the hotel listed in the contact to meet her.
When he entered the hotel Princess Melissa was waiting for him in the VIP room.
“Welcome Sir Zeke.”
Princess Melissa whom I had not seen in a long time was still elegant and beautiful but her face had a shadow somewhere.
“It looks like the situation at the border is not good.”
Melissa nodded.
“We have a problem Sir Zeke.”
She handed the report to Zeke.
Zick tilted his head at what was written in the report.
“Are you saying that the number of red flowers has increased more than before? Even though you took medicine?”
Then Melissa said in a deep voice.
“We haven’t yet completed the facilities to mass-produce the medicine. And what’s worse… unidentified monsters are constantly intercepting the medicine.”
“What do you mean intercepting the medicine?”
“They literally destroyed or stole the wagons transporting the medicine. If they were normal thieves they would have known it was medicine and demanded passage fees or something but they didn’t even negotiate.”
Zeke frowned after hearing Melissa’s words.
“You think it’s a trick on the part of the Empire.”
“I think that’s most likely.”
“Is it no use sending knights?”
“I didn’t call him a monster for nothing. He comes from nowhere and takes the carriage away and even the knights are helpless.”
“Hmm… A monster that even knights can’t handle.”
Zeke wondered if Abel’s trip to the Alencia conflict zone had something to do with it.
He got up from his seat.
“Let’s go.”
Melissa asked back in surprise.
“Where are you talking about?”
“I mean Alencia.”
Melissa was taken aback by Zeke’s words.
“Are you saying that Sir Zeke will go in person?”
“Yes. Abel Draker’s movements are also a bit unusual so I think it would be better to check it out myself.”
The fact that he gave up on the Guardian Knight he had been clinging to and went straight to Alencia meant that there was something there.
Zeke wanted to find out what Abel was trying to do there.
He called Felix and Liam to help them pack their bags then headed straight to Alencia with Melissa.
Because of this Angelina who had been waiting for Zeke’s contact stayed in Atlas but was unable to meet him and had to return to Panstars.
However during the week she stayed rumors of Angelina’s beauty spread throughout Atlas and she became the undisputed beauty of the Central Continent.
Her rise to fame was a bonus for Graham Banks.
* * *
“Wow Master this is really….”
Felix trailed off lost for words at the sight outside the carriage.
The situation at the border was much worse than expected.
The surrounding area was in ruins with people infected with the disease as well as those who had fallen victim to the mercenaries who had turned into bandits and the town being almost ruined by a group of outlaws.
Then Princess Melissa who was next to Zeke said.
“The situation is worse in the Choin ghetto. As the conflict between Choin and the Imperial Army intensifies casualties are also increasing.”
The Join Ghetto was a demilitarized zone between Alencia and the Roman Empire.
The Join people who originally lived throughout the western part of the Central Continent which was an undeveloped territory were forced to settle in the current ghetto due to the power of the Roman Empire and the Central Kingdoms.
However due to the empire’s ambition to continuously expand its territory it was invading the border areas of the Zouin Ghetto and Alencia.
Zeke and his party arrived at the border headquarters in Alencia and got off the carriage.
At that moment the commander of the Alencia garrison guarding the border area ran towards Melissa.
“Oh Princess. We’re in trouble!”
“What’s going on?”
“The water transport unit has been annihilated!”
