A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 113



Episode 113

‘Hersion of the Four Palaces.’

There are no more than a hundred knights in the empire who have been granted Hersion.

Among them the Hersion possessed by the Knights of the Thirteen Zodiac Signs was special.

Three hundred years ago the Holy Empire that had united the entire Central Continent was divided and each regional lord and kingdom claimed their own autonomy.

Among them the Kingdom of Rome claimed that they were the successors to the tradition of the Holy Empire.

The Holy Empire was a religious state that worshipped the sun god the only god centered around the Pope but the Kingdom of Rome worshipped the moon goddess Theia who was paired with the sun god and the thirteen constellations that protected her.

The Kingdom of Rome gave the Hersion which contained the power of the Ten Sagittarius constellations to the best knights of the kingdom and fought against the Papal faction.

With that power the Papal faction was pushed east of the continent and established itself as the Holy Kingdom while the Kingdom of Rome expanded its sphere of influence taking over the southern part of the central continent and growing into an empire.

As the activities of the Knights of the Thirteen Signs played a major role in the growth of the Roman Empire the Hersion given to them was a rare artifact with tremendous abilities.

Morgan Buffon approached Sieg armed to the teeth with the Hersion of the Archer.

“I’ll admit that you’re no ordinary guy activating Hersion.”

Woohoo!

A crimson aura emanated from Hersion of the Sagyong Palace.

At the same time the sword Morgan was holding was also enveloped in that energy.

An aura blade rose with an ominous yet powerful force.

Although Morgan was a blue knight when equipped with Hersion he was able to display power comparable to that of a red knight.

Zeke was wary of the power he felt from Morgan’s sword.

‘I sense a foreign power in the Auror Blade.’

It wasn’t a normal aura nor was it a polluted energy like magic.

Morgan shouted swinging his sword.

“I’ll catch him and make him confess who’s behind this!”

Morgan lunged at Zeke emitting an aura of snake-like ferocity.

Kwakwakwa!

Morgan showed even more powerful leaping power with the power of Hersion.

In the air an aura blade imbued with the power of the Four Guardians rained down on Zigg.

Clang! Clang!

To his surprise the auror blade that shot out from Morgan’s sword curved like a whip and flew towards Zeke.

‘What is this?’

Zeke rolled over in an instant to avoid the Auror Blade.

But Morgan’s Auror Blade pursued Zeke tenaciously like a living snake chasing its prey.

Choaaaak!

In an instant the tip of the Auror Blade split into four piercing through the shield and wrapping around Zeke’s arms and legs.

The Aura Blade whip dug into the iron armor.

Boom boom!

Because it was a whip made of an aura blade I felt the cloud armor which was impervious to most impacts being dented.

‘Is this the power of Sagye Palace?’

The Hersion of the Simsap Palace which is said to contain the power of the constellations was an artifact that was much scarier than I had heard.

Zeke also had an ancient Hersion but if he wore it in a situation where the Imperial Knights were gathered his activities in the south could have been revealed.

Zeke concentrated his mana to use his full power.

Kookookookookook!

Bahamut’s heart inside Zeke’s body beat violently.

Zigg who had gathered the powerful mana surging from Bahamut’s heart before the break then used his eloquence to summon the strong will.

Woohoo!

The will to teach strengthens the body into a ‘strong body’.

In the state of a strong body any technique you use can be displayed with much greater power.

Because the side effects were as strong as the excellent effects I couldn’t properly use the will of the teacher in my previous life but now that there are no side effects thanks to the magic of speech I can use it freely.

Zig who had become a spirit felt that his body had become much lighter.

He yanked Morgan’s auror blade that wrapped around his limbs.

Morgan was drawn to Zeke’s power.

“Ugh! What are you doing! Attack that guy right now!”

The other knights except those dealing with the rampaging Gurav from behind rushed towards Zig.

Zeke swung his sword at the knights while his limbs were bound.

Pachin!

The sword of Zeke whose body was strengthened by a strong spirit was no different from the sword of a knight infused with a black aura.

Zeke used his rough northern swordsmanship to strike the knights’ swords.

Kkwadduk!

Morgan tried to block Zeke’s movements by putting more power into his Auror Blade as he watched the knights who clashed swords with him being thrown back instead.

But Zeke didn’t stop and kept moving.

“Haaaah!”

Zig’s body strengthened by a spirit body was a weapon in itself.

He swung his sword at the charging knights then kicked them then swung his fists.

bang!

The knight who was hit by Zeke’s fist was thrown backwards.

The knights of the empire were terrified when they saw such a zeal.

“Rain is a fucking monster!”

The Imperial Army completely lost their will to fight as they watched Zeke fight dozens of Imperial knights while still bound by the power of the Sagyeon Palace.

There was also the influence of the dragon’s majesty secretly flowing from Zeke who had been given the title of Yongin.

As the knights hesitated and retreated Morgan gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

“You fucking idiots! Get out of the way!”

He unbuckled the belt around Herzion’s waist.

As Morgan injected aura into the belt the belt gradually became stiff and transformed into a long spear.

Morgan held the spear and pulled at the whip-like auror blade that held Zeke in place.

Choaaaah!

The aura blade surrounding Zigg quickly shrank.

At the same time Zeke whose power had weakened was pulled towards Morgan.

Morgan aimed his spear at Zeke.

“I didn’t know I would end up writing this much.”

The spear imbued with the power of the Four Guardian Kings had the power to pierce through anything.

They hadn’t been using it to capture Zeke and find out who was behind it but when the situation became urgent they pulled out a desperate measure.

Woohoo!

From the window of the palace where Morgan was standing a strange aura rose as before.

He thrust his spear at Zig as he was being dragged away.

The power of the four-legged palace

A piercing that doesn’t deflect

That was when.

Ziggy unleashed his hydraulic field.

Elemental Sword

The hydraulic field

Reverse Wave Sword

After Zeke let go of all his strength and went with the flow he used Morgan’s strength to unleash his reverse wave sword.

Kwakwakwakwa!

Zig gently took the force of the spear.

At the same time a huge wave rolled over and engulfed Morgan.

“Ugh!”

The power of the four-legged palace that had been surrounding Zig actually restrained Morgan.

His body was lifted into the air and swept away by the power of the reverse wave sword.

Zeke’s sword brought about a bigger tidal wave.

Woof woof woof!

A wave containing the energy of a tidal wave swept through the entire valley. As Morgan’s power was great the power displayed by the reverse wave sword was tremendous.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

The knights swept by the energy were blown away their limbs broken and they were slammed into the canyon walls losing consciousness.

It seemed that the snipers on the canyon were also affected as there were shadows falling from above.

Morgan also was hit by the powerful tidal wave and couldn’t come to his senses.

Morgan who was launched into the air and then thrown to the ground by the force of the tsunami barely managed to get up.

‘The spear of the Sagye Palace misses the mark?’

The power of the Sagye Palace was different from that of ordinary secret weapons.

I saved it because the number of times I could use it per day was limited but when the power of the Sagye Palace was unleashed it was sure to pierce through the enemy.

It was the first time that the power of the constellation had failed.

He shuddered as he remembered the reverse wave sword that Zeke had brandished.

‘It was a technique I’d never seen before. Could it be the ancient magic contained in the artifact?’

If he hadn’t been wearing Hersion he too might have died with his whole body broken.

Zeke slowly looked around and approached Morgan.

“They carried out terrible experiments at the Joinjok ruins.”

Morgan’s eyes wavered at those words.

Zeke looked into Morgan’s eyes and realized that he too had been involved in human experiments that involved injecting demon blood into humans.

‘It would be better to kill this guy here.’

In his previous life Morgan Buffon killed countless people in the Third Continental War.

Morgan was a man who demonstrated greater ability as a commander than as a knight.

Later his expertise was recognized and he was promoted to the position of consul.

If Morgan were killed here it would have dealt a huge blow to the Empire’s power in many ways.

Zeke slowly approached Buffon.

Then he took his sword and cut off Buffon’s neck.

Kagakak!

Perhaps because Hersion was imbued with the power of the constellation his neck was not cut off by Zig’s sword strike.

Zeke used the magic reflection skill.

Support support support!

Sparks flew from Hersion but the armor did not disintegrate.

‘It was nice when I wore Hersion but it was really annoying when I was the enemy.’

Even though Zeke tried to thrust his sword into Hersion’s gap it did not reach the vital spot.

“Hmm.”

If we stalled here more garrison troops could invade.

Zeke hastily raised one of the fallen horses and loaded Morgan onto it.

As time passed and Hersion was released I planned to kill him.

Zeke took a chain from his left arm and bound Morgan with a soul sealing technique.

“Ugh!”

As soon as he was chained Morgan couldn’t move and clenched his teeth in pain.

‘Huh? That works well.’

I haven’t used it in combat yet because I haven’t mastered it properly but it seems like it would be a useful weapon if I could use it.

Zig carrying Morgan on his horse leisurely rode out of the canyon.

Once Hersion was released he planned to kill Morgan and return to the Alencia border headquarters.

After exiting the canyon Zig entered a wasteland of red sand.

Then Morgan who was held behind shouted.

“You rascal! How dare you touch the commander of the Empire’s legions! Aren’t you afraid of the consequences?”

Zeke turned around and elbowed Morgan’s helmet.

“Cough!”

Morgan was momentarily quietened by the shock of the goal.

But soon he started screaming again.

‘What a pain in the ass.’

As soon as Hersion was released I was running through the wasteland determined to kill him again when a cloud of dust rose up behind me.

Zeke looked back with a look of resignation.

‘Those guys…?’

They were knights in familiar attire.

It was none other than Abel’s Knights of the Red Lion.

Zeke discovered Abel and William among the knights.

‘shit.’

I never thought Abel would show up in person.

He heard that the entire ruins had collapsed so he went out to investigate but it seemed as if he had been chased.

Morgan shouted when he realized that the pursuers were coming.

“Hey the Lion Sword is here! You idiot! Put me down right now and tell me who’s behind you! Then I’ll kill you without any pain!”

Zeke tightened the chains that bound Morgan.

“Kkaaaak!”

Perhaps because it was a soul sealing technique it seemed to cause pain even beyond Hersion.

As it happened the horse that Zeke was riding gradually slowed down as if it was getting tired.

‘Healing.’

Zeke healed his horse with a healing buff.

Again the distance between us and the Knights grew.

At that time Abel who had been behind stepped forward alone.

Doo doo doo doo doo!

It was Abel who was chasing after Zeke at an incredible speed.

He took out the red sword he was carrying.

As Abel breathed his aura into the sword flames rose up.

Whoosh whoosh!

A huge flame flew towards Zeke.

Phew!

A shield unfolded from the armor.

But Abel’s flames dug into the shield.

Heeeeeeling!

A huge flame burned the steed that Zeke was riding.

In an instant a horse was reduced to ashes and disappeared.

Zeke grabbed Morgan and landed on the floor.

Abel looked down at Zeke from his horse.

“That’s him. The one who stole Karus.”

Abel recognized Zeke immediately having encountered him at the Panstars terminal.

He dismounted and aimed his sword at Zeke.

“This time you will never get away. I will definitely find out who is behind you.”

Whoosh whoosh!

Flames rose from the red sword held by Abel.

Zeke ground his teeth at the sight of Abel’s flame.

‘Red Dragon Sword. A unique artifact that Abel received when he became the Blue Knight.’

The Red Dragon Sword said to have been forged from the teeth of a red dragon was a unique artifact that held great power but it was difficult to handle so it was kept in the family treasury for a long time.

After Abel was promoted to Blue Knight he requested this Red Dragon Sword from Arthur Draker.

Abel proudly made the magic sword his own which would engulf him in flames the moment he held it even if he was not qualified to wield it.

Abel who wields a flame-spitting Red Dragon Sword displays outstanding fighting prowess even among the active Draker knights.

A powerful flame emitted by Abel flew towards Zeke.

Kwakwakwakwang!

Zeke used his will to defend himself and blocked Abel’s attack.

Phew!

Zeke blocked the attack and swung his sword at Abel.

Abel hid his body in the exploding flames.

‘Damn.’

There were a lot of enemies and I couldn’t use Bahamut so there were a lot of limitations.

Zeke tried to find a way to escape this place by creating an opening.

If I wasted any more time I might get caught by Abel.

Zeke took a deep breath and grabbed his sword.

Abel smiled bitterly as he looked at such a Zeke.

“Abandon your vain hopes. You will never escape from here.”

Abel was about to swing his flame again.

Doo doo doo doo doo!

Kkiyoyoyoyoyo clothes!

From a distance a strange shout echoed along with a huge cloud of dust.
