A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 121



Episode 121

Jiiiiiiiiing―

As soon as I used the double spell I felt a pain as if my soul was being torn away.

“Euuuuuu!”

I felt like I was going to lose consciousness at any moment.

[You have acquired the special skill ‘All-out Attack (S-rank)’.]

A message suddenly came to Zig’s attention.

‘Skill registration?… Was the double spell the real power?’

Zeke barely managed to maintain consciousness with his mental strength.

Sieg holding a sword imbued with the will to cut jumped down from Bucephalus’ back.

Kwakwakwakwa!

As Zeke leapt into the air the Hydra’s nine heads opened their mouths at him.

Kaaaaaaah!

Nine streams of breath poured out toward Zeke.

Phage phage phage!

Zeke swung his sword at the breath pouring down towards him.

Crunch-

The breath itself was cut off by Zeke’s sword strike.

‘Ugh!’

The power of the soul was a completely different type of energy from the aura or elemental magic created from mana.

It was the ability to draw upon the power of existence and change the essence behind the phenomenal world.

Honshinki was a technique that brought this abstract concept into the phenomenal world through the cessation of war.

Because he was taught a technique that was originally unusable by humans Zigg’s use of Double Spell caused a huge strain on his body.

“Haaaaaap!”

His eyes were bloodshot and the tendons all over his body were bulging.

Sieg swung his sword breaking through Hydra’s breath.

Honshinki

Double Spell

The will to cut

A wave of will surged from the sword and passed through Hydra’s body.

thud!

Zeke swung his sword and fell to the ground.

Bucephalus ran straight from the air next to Zig.

Zeke barely managed to get up holding his sword.

“Ugh!”

The price for forcibly drawing out the soul’s power was harsh.

Even though Zikra had a healing factor he couldn’t move his body.

Zig clenched his teeth in excruciating pain as his muscles snapped.

He barely managed to get up and aimed his sword at the Hydra.

But the Hydra did not move at all and just stood there.

‘What happened? Did the double spell not work?’

At that moment as he was feeling anxious Hydra’s body split apart.

Parts parts parts—

Black smoke poured out from where Zeke’s sword cut.

Krrrrrr!

The Hydra’s nine heads made a strange noise.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Hydra staggered back.

Kaaaaaaaaa!

The Hydra which had been roaring for a long time suddenly opened its mouth wide and glared at Zeke.

Kookookookookook!

Nine heads tried to breathe out their breath.

Zeke gripped his sword and clenched his teeth.

‘Damn. It looks like the full-strength technique worked since there aren’t any more strange changes but maybe the double spell wasn’t perfect…’

Bucephalus sensing an ominous aura immediately took Zig and rose into the air.

Kaaaaah!

The Hydra breathed breath from its mouth.

Heeeeeeeeeing!

Bucephalus circled through the air to avoid the breath attacks coming from all directions.

Zigg riding on Bucephalus’ back barely managed to keep his body still.

‘I need a little more time to recover.’

But Hydra didn’t seem to care about giving it time and swung its head even more violently as it rushed at Zeke.

Kaaaak!

That was when.

Purbuck!

A huge stone spear was lodged in the Hydra’s neck.

Krrrr!

Hydra turned his head.

The barbarians who had dealt with the demons threw stone spears smeared with horsetail oil at the Hydra.

Pubber pubber!

Dozens of stone spears flew towards the Hydra.

Kookookookook!

Hydra who was hit with the full force of the sword was unable to dodge the stone spears thrown by the barbarians.

Then Wang Jumuk picked up the largest stone spear and threw it at the Hydra.

Phew!

The spear flew past Hydra making a sound that split the air.

puck!

The stone spear thrown by Wang Jumuk struck Hydra’s eyeball.

Keeeeeeek―

The Hydra with spears embedded in its eyes howled and twisted its body.

From the wound black smoke flowed out even thicker.

The barbarians who had thrown all their spears quickly retreated.

At that moment a bright flash of light appeared behind Hydra.

Nine heads looked back.

A huge hammer of light fell on his head.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!

Keeeeek!

Hydra hit by the hammer of light was unable to control its body properly.

Zeke who had recovered while the barbarians bought him time put on the mask of Agamemnon and drew Bahamut.

‘It’s my first time using it on a demon but it worked on Richmond so I have a chance!’

After he used the purification skill he focused his aura on the sword.

Wooooow!

His sword was imbued with the power of purification.

The formless power of purification slowly seeped into Bahamut’s blade.

At that moment a golden aura rose up from Zeke’s sword.

[You have acquired the skill ‘Blade of Purification (A-Grade)’.]

As the power of purification took shape like an aura blade a new skill was created.

‘With this you can use the Dragon Slayer technique with the power of purification.’

Zeke raised his blade of purification and drove Bucephalus straight towards the Hydra.

Then he took the stance of the Dragon Slayer.

Woohoo!

The final secret of the True Dragon Sword was revealed through Zig’s sword.

True Dragon Sword Art

Three-knot method

Giant Dragon Slash

Kwakwakwakwa!

The huge golden blade swung by Zeke cut off the Hydra’s nine heads.

Kukukukung!

The Hydra’s head cut by the Blade of Purification fell to the ground.

Black smoke rose from the wounded area.

Boom! Boom!

The decapitated body could no longer regenerate and fell backwards before collapsing.

Zeke jumped down from Bucephalus’ back and immediately climbed onto Hydra’s body.

Then he stabbed the Hydra’s heart with his sword.

Kkwadduk!

As its heart was destroyed foul-smelling black fluids began to spurt out from Hydra’s body.

Zeke began to binge eat quickly as he watched the Hydra’s body gradually turn into black dust.

Ss …

Zeke’s shadow sucked in the hydra’s massive lifeless body like a swamp.

Fortunately Zeke was able to completely devour Hydra’s body before its physical body collapsed.

Suddenly a message window appeared before my eyes.

[I ate a completely corrupted dragon that was engulfed in magic.]

[The consumed stamina and mental power mana replenishes.]

[Completely absorb the bloodline power of the gluttonous dragon and gain the constitution of invincibility.]

[Absorb the bloodline ability of the gluttonous dragon and acquire the skill ‘Hydra’s Poison’.]

[Hydra’s poison skill also links to the lowly dragon summoner Gurav and the very lowly dragon summoner Richmond.]

[The soul level increases by acquiring the special skill Honshinki.]

[The skill level of the Dragon Clan skill Spirituality increases.]

[The seal on Bahamut’s heart is partially released by absorbing the heart of the ancient dragon Hydra. The current compression seal level is 70%.]

[As Black Sword Bahamut grows some of its sealed functions are released. (Transformation Magic Absorption)]

[1500 Karma Points will be awarded as compensation.]

[Three random boxes will be awarded as a reward.]

Zeke looked satisfied as he watched the messages floating by.

‘It was worth the effort to catch it.’

Zeke first looked into Bahamut’s information.

-Black Sword Bahamut Information-

Description: A sword forged with blue flame by a master craftsman with the spiritual eye using the strongest fang of the cursed dragon Bahamut.

Unique Ability: Indestructible Mana Conversion Form Change Magic Absorption

Special: Partial release of seals (70% sealing)

Zig tilted his head at the part about shape-shifting among his unique abilities.

“If it’s a transformation does that mean the shape changes?”

He imagined himself holding Bahamut and growing longer.

Then Bahamut’s blade really grew longer.

“What is this?”

Zeke held Bahamut in his hands and imagined a completely different sword.

Then after a while Bahamut really transformed into that sword.

Zeke who had reverted to his original Bahamut form let out a gasp.

“Oh my god. This is possible. This is an unbelievable ability.”

Whenever I had to hide my identity I had to use the Cloud Sword which limited my ability to use Aura but now I can use Bahamut without any problems by changing my form.

Zeke also looked into the information on other newly acquired skills.

Blade of Purification: The power of purification has been condensed to have properties similar to the Aura Blade. When cast on undead and demons the attack effect is doubled. (Can be activated when wearing Agamemnon’s Mask)

Hydra’s Venom: A colorless odorless tasteless poison. It can be made into a venom or poison mist. The strength of the poison can be adjusted.

Both of these skills were useful in battle.

The points collected this time alone exceeded 4000 points.

‘I guess I’ll have to go to town and rest and look at the random boxes and points.’

Then Richmond who had been hiding in the forest with the barbarians appeared.

“Brother Zeke!”

Wang Ju-fuk ran towards Zig.

He hugged Zeke tightly.

“I saw you caught a shoe dragon! Zeke hyung is the best!”

Not only Wangjumuk but also young warriors from other tribes approached Zeke and hugged him tightly.

I didn’t like the hugs from the giant men but I left it alone because it seemed to be part of the Barbarian culture.

After receiving hugs from everyone and barely escaping from the arms of the Barbarian warriors Zeke asked Wang Jumuk.

“Guduryong’s body is gone. I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. What’s important is what you catch.”

Unless the purpose was to pass a test or hunt monsters for sale the corpses of demons were of little use to the Barbarians.

Even the Barbarians who eat monster meat as their staple food could not eat the meat of demons possessed by magic.

Now that there was nothing to block his way Zigg and Wangjumuk attempted to go up to the village where Golin was.

Then Richmode who was standing next to him spoke to Zeke.

“Master I get a strange feeling from over there.”

The place Richmond pointed to was the cave where Hydra had been crouching earlier.

“Are you saying you can feel the magic?”

“Hmm it’s similar but a little different.”

As Zeke was heading towards the cave he suddenly noticed something strange on the ground so he stopped and looked at the floor.

When I killed the Hydra earlier I saw traces of black fluid flowing from its body towards the cave.

Zeke said to Wang Jumeok.

“Wait a minute. I’ll go check and come back.”

“Need help?”

“No. I’ll just take a look around.”

“Okay.”

Zeke dragged Richmond towards the cave.

Despite the absence of the Hydra the inside of the cave was still filled with a foul odor.

Zeke and Richmond entered the cave where the Hydra was.

Zeke looked through the dragon’s eyes and discovered something.

There was an entrance leading deeper into the cavity which wasn’t visible when Hydra was covering it with its body earlier.

Richmond said to Zeke.

“Master it’s over there.”

Zeke pulled out Bahamut and entered the entrance.

There were traces of black fluid flowing out.

After passing through a narrow long passage a wide space surrounded by stones appeared.

What was surprising was that it was not a natural space but an artificial space created by someone piling up stones.

Then Zeke noticed something in the middle of the space.

‘That’s?’

It was a staff that gave off an ominous aura.

Black fluids were flowing in from all directions towards where the cane was stuck.

The black fluid that had pooled around the staff like a giant puddle soon began to boil.

Then it gradually began to swell and form a shape.

Zeke spoke to Richmond holding Bahamut and aiming it at the mysterious figure.

“Richmond. What the hell is that?”

Then Richmond also stuttered in embarrassment.

“Well that’s the first time I’ve seen anything like that!”

The shape created by the swelling black fluid was horrifying like a human with peeling skin.

Muscles were exposed where skin should have been and a sticky mucus oozed across the surface.

The abomination formed from black fluid reached out and grabbed the staff.

Ss …

Then a powerful magical energy began to emanate from the staff.

Ziggy unleashed his Shield of Light skill.

Pachin!

The shield of light repelled the magic.

Then the terrible being holding the staff looked at the shield of light and began to speak moving its mouth around.

“????????????????????????????!”

Zig pointed his sword wary of the unintelligible language.

That’s when the message came to mind.

[Detects the language of the demon world.]
