A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 108



Episode 108

‘this….’

While I was looking at the sculpture I let my guard down and it seemed like the monster had sensed my presence.

Zeke drew his sword and aimed it at the monster.

Kwaaaaah!

The monsters rushed towards Zeke.

Boom!

Zig swung his sword with golden power.

Sparks flew as Zeke’s sword clashed with the monster’s iron club.

It wasn’t like he was completely defenseless but he wasn’t properly prepared either so he was pushed back by the monster’s brute strength.

Zeke straightened his posture and picked up his sword.

I was thinking of using my full power against the monster.

‘Absolute’

As he raised his spirit with the magic of speech an auspicious energy formed on Zig’s sword.

Woohoo!

The will to sacrifice was contained in Zig’s sword.

Sensing an ominous aura the monsters all rushed at Zeke with iron clubs in hand.

Kaaaak!

Zeke swung his sword straight at the three monsters.

Crunch!

The power of the soul technique using the magic of speech was amazing.

With just one blow he cut the monsters’ iron clubs and their bodies in half.

Swish!

thud!

The upper bodies of the monsters with their waists cut off fell to the floor.

Zig who had been fully focused was momentarily dumbfounded when he saw the sight he had created.

‘Wow I didn’t know a single spell could have this much power. It’s definitely a different kind of power from Aura.’

If Caesar had seen the full power of the spirit he would not have been called a cultist like that.

The minions struck by Zeke’s sword died spewing out black blood.

And the moment he lost his life his body began to rot away at a rapid pace.

Cheeeeek!

The skin and flesh rotted and the bones crumbled.

Zeke frowned as he watched the mines decaying at an incredible rate.

He delved deeper into the dungeons in search of evidence that would expose the Empire’s atrocities.

I was using my stealth skill to hide myself and look around when I heard a sound from inside.

‘what?’

The sound of chains clashing was heard along with the sounds of people lifting and moving heavy objects.

Zeke took care once more to hide his presence and looked inside.

‘What is that?’

To their surprise inside the dungeon dozens of people were chained together digging the ground and moving piles of dirt.

“Move quickly!”

Zeke looked towards the person who had shouted.

‘They are hunting dogs.’

As he had expected the dungeon was being excavated by imperial hounds.

It was clear that the Zunin tribe was trying their best to get their hands on the ghetto in order to completely take over this underground dungeon.

The hounds spurred the slaves to dig by whipping them.

Then one of the slaves who was moving a pile of dirt stumbled and fell.

thud!

One of the hounds examined the fallen slave and then raised his hand toward someone.

So the robed men ran out and took the slave and disappeared somewhere.

‘Where are you taking me?’

Those wearing robes were usually likely to be wizards.

Besides considering the Southern Dungeon it seemed likely that there would be a secret laboratory here as well.

Zeke secretly chased them.

As I passed by I saw that this wasn’t the only excavation site.

Because it was a very large dungeon it seemed like they were dividing it into sections and using slaves to excavate it.

Zig followed them past the excavation site and into a cave located inside the dungeon.

“One more has arrived!”

As those who had brought the slaves shouted inward another person approached and examined the slaves’ condition.

I checked the eyeballs and checked the body skeleton.

“It’s in better condition than I thought. I’ll use it as a test subject. Put it away.”

Those dressed in robes lifted the slaves and carried them inside the cage.

Not only that there were other slaves rolling around on the floor inside us.

Zig who had been hiding realized that this place was also a human laboratory like the Southern Dungeon.

‘What the hell are those imperial bastards doing here?’

That was when.

“Eww!”

A terrible scream echoed from inside the cave.

The screaming continued for a while and then suddenly became quiet.

Soon the blood-covered corpses of wizards were seen being carried out from inside just like the bloodied bodies of wizards.

The eldest-looking wizard among them said throwing down his blood-stained robes.

“Damn the test subjects are so unsatisfactory these days. The numbers aren’t coming out right.”

Then another wizard standing nearby said:

“That’s right Master. The test subjects have been reduced because of the damned safflower treatment so the tests themselves won’t be running.”

The old wizard said gnashing his teeth.

“How on earth did those Alencia guys come up with a cure? Damn it. This whole project is going to be scrapped.”

“You’re sending in lesser modifications to block the transport of the cure itself so the test subjects will start increasing again soon.”

“It’s annoying that that damn Lion Sword guy keeps coming around and waving around but nothing is getting done properly.”

Hearing the conversation between the two wizards Zeke clenched his fists.

‘It was the Empire that spread the Crimson Blight. And what’s worse they kidnapped people infected with the Crimson Blight and used them as test subjects. Does the modified body mean that monster from before? And the Lion Sword… Looks like Abel has some kind of connection.’

If it could be proven that Abel was involved in these inhumane experiments of the Empire it would be possible to expel him from Draker.

‘Can the system save this too?’

[Open access and functions can be linked to store video records in a secure storage.]

I’m not sure if I can transfer the footage stored in the system to a video recording device but I decided to save it for now.

As the dragon’s eyes were activated every scene Zeke saw was recorded.

After recording the experimental site Zeke decided to sneak inside and look for evidence.

Zig who had been gathering a few documents was able to figure out the identity of the modified entity through them.

‘A test subject whose body was strengthened by transplanting demon blood into a human?’

It was just crazy nonsense.

The blood of demons as well as of regular monsters was like poison to humans.

The only things that could be used as raw materials for making recovery potions were troll blood and various processing processes. So it was natural that the blood of demons eroded by magic was not acceptable to humans in the first place.

Zeke could understand why the monsters’ bodies were rotting away so quickly.

‘What a crazy experiment. I knew the Emperor was crazy but I didn’t know it was to this extent.’

Zig put all the materials in his inventory and explored the surroundings further.

Then in one corner of the laboratory they discovered ancient relics that seemed to have been excavated here.

There were many relics with bird-head decorations attached which were relics of the ancient Zhao people.

I examined it closely to see what kind of relic it was but it didn’t have any special functions attached to it.

‘The relics don’t seem like much so what on earth are they trying to find here?’

Zeke turned to the other side and began to look around further. Then he noticed a painting on one wall of the lab and looked at it.

It depicted a large-bodied warrior of the Zan tribe wearing thick armor but it looked very different from the traditional attire of the Zan tribe that Zig knew.

‘Is this the attire of an ancient warrior from the Zhao tribe?’

Even so something felt strange.

This was because the painting looked like a bronze statue of the Join tribe. Since the painting itself was nothing special even in terms of the dragon’s eyes Zig took his eyes off the painting and looked elsewhere.

After gathering all the materials and being sure that there was nothing special left Zeke decided to leave the place for now.

Just as I was about to use my stealth skill to escape the lab I heard a strange sound.

Kkieeeeing!

It sounded like space was being torn apart.

Then the empty space split open and a person wearing a black robe walked out with someone wearing black armor.

Then he raised his finger at Zeke who was disguised with a stealth skill and shouted.

“Intruder! Catch him quickly!”

At the wizard’s shout a knight in black armor rushed towards Zeke.

Phew!

He swung his sword aiming precisely at Zigg who had hidden himself with his stealth skill.

Kagan!

Zig blocked the Black Knight’s sword with his sword of iron.

The black-robed wizard who was watching this spoke in an ominous voice.

“We have to find out where he came from. Cut off his limbs and save his life.”

Then the black knight’s eyes glowed red.

Zeke felt a similar aura to that of the knight in black armor who had been guarding the dungeon door earlier.

Phew!

The Black Knight quickly swung his sword towards Zeke.

Unlike the monster who swings his club around indiscriminately the Black Knight’s movements were restrained and powerful like those of a trained knight.

Pachin!

Even though I used my golden power to take the black knight’s sword my wrist still felt numb.

His strength was as strong as that of a monster but his skills and movements were comparable to those of a trained knight.

Even if it wasn’t a Blue Knight it was at least above the Purple Knight level.

Zeke breathed all his might into his sword.

Woohoo!

The sword that contained the will of the sword clashed with the sword of the black knight.

Quaching!

His brute strength meant nothing in the face of a sword sharper than Aura.

Zeke’s sword cut through the Black Knight’s sword.

Kagan!

The severed sword fell to the floor.

The black-robed wizard who had been watching from behind spoke again in an ominous voice.

“He’s no ordinary guy.”

Then he swung the cane he was holding.

Kkieeeeee!

The space was torn apart with a terrible sound.

Three black knights emerged from the torn space.

A total of four black knights began to approach surrounding Zeke.

Zeke aimed his sword at the Black Knights without being intimidated.

‘Even if it’s a bit difficult I have to defeat these guys and capture that wizard.’

It seemed like the black-robed wizard was the key to this experiment.

Zeke swung his sword with the will to cut.

Kkwadduk!

Anything that touched Zeke’s sword whether it was a sword or armor was cut down.

The black knights who were cut by Zeke’s sword fell down bleeding black blood as if they were dead.

They too had been transformed by the blood of the devil and their wounds began to rot quickly.

The wizard who was watching from behind looked at Zeke’s sword with surprise.

“You have a magic sword. You can cut down those creatures with skin stronger than an ogre so easily. I’m surprised.”

After defeating the black knights in one breath Zeke ran straight towards the wizard.

Whee!

Then the wizard tore the space again and this time hid himself inside.

Zeke swung his sword but the wizard had already disappeared.

‘Damn it. I should’ve caught him before he ran away.’

The magic used by the black-robed wizard felt different from the magic used by ordinary wizards.

Above all I couldn’t feel the wave of magical power that should be felt before using magic at all.

‘What on earth is that guy?’

Zeke felt that it was somehow similar to the mysterious necromancer he had previously seen at Don Juan’s mansion.

Having lost the wizard Zeke thought that he had to get out of here first.

Beep!

It was a familiar sound.

It was the sound of the hunting dogs’ whistle. The moment it rang it was impossible to escape easily.

‘It took too long.’

Zeke tried to hide and find an opening to escape.

But when the hunting dogs stormed into the laboratory the wizard who had disappeared reappeared.

Then he pointed exactly to where Zig was hiding.

“There it is! Grab it!”

I couldn’t figure out how to detect the presence hidden by the stealth skill I gained after binge eating the country.

The hunting dogs rushed in the direction the wizard had indicated.

Zig focused his firepower on his sword.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

And he fired at the rushing hunting dogs.

“Kwaaak!”

The hounds caught off guard by the fast approaching flames rolled on the ground screaming in pain.

Zeke took advantage of the gap and used his magic reflection skill to rush towards the wizard.

Kkieeee!

Perhaps because of Zeke’s magical reflection the wizard was unable to tear through space as quickly as before.

Zeke swung his sword at the wizard.

Crunch!

The wizard’s arm was cut off by Zeke’s sword.

“Ugh!”

The wizard grabbed the severed shoulder and stepped back.

Then he glared at Zeke and spoke in a sinister voice.

“How dare you touch the abyss…..”

The word ‘Hell’ that the wizard had spoken rang in Zeke’s ears.

‘The Abyss? Is that the place that Dario Totlino spoke of back then?’

The wizard brought his staff to his severed shoulder.

Then a red organism suddenly burst out from his shoulder writhing.

The organisms clumped together and grew into the shape of an arm.

It was an arm that was regenerated in an instant.

He said glaring at Zeke.

“I will create you in a state that is neither dead nor alive and stuff you in my laboratory.”

A dark aura gathered around the wizard’s staff.

[Condensed magic detected.]

Kwakwakwakwa!

A black aura poured out toward Zeke.

At the same time Zeke used his flash grenade skill towards the wizard.

Flash!

The laboratory was filled with white light.
