A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 122



Episode 122

The system interpreted the language of the demon world and displayed it as text.

[How dare you bring up such a trivial human topic!]

At the same time the terrible being raised its staff and struck the ground.

puck!

Then black smoke seeped into the stone floor and the ground beneath shook.

Krrrr!

Four-legged demons with fierce teeth and horns appeared.

Terrible demons burst through the stone floor as if growing out of the ground.

Richmond hid behind Zeke in surprise.

“My lord! The demon demon has come out!”

Zeke looked at the terrible being with his sword pointed and his staff in hand.

Black smoke flowed from the staff wrapping itself around his body like clothing.

‘We have to catch that guy first.’

Ziggy activated the dragon tribe skill Dragon Tooth Disease.

Swish!

Five black-armored dragon soldiers rose from within Zeke’s shadow.

chuck!

As soon as the dragon soldiers took their full form they automatically aimed their spears and took a stand.

Zeke gave orders to his dragon soldiers.

“Take the devil! Richmond you cover from behind!”

As the dragon soldiers rushed at the demons Zeke used his whirlwind to rush straight at the horrifying monster behind him.

“Haaaah!”

Zeke used his light hammer on the monster.

Kwakwakwakwang!

The hammer of light struck the monster but the black energy emanating from the staff deflected the impact.

[bouncer!]

The monster held a staff and aimed it at Zeke.

Woohoo!

Black energy poured out from the staff.

A black wave flew towards Zig.

In the ominous atmosphere Zigg used his shield of light.

Phage support support –

The black energy was blocked by the shield of light.

Zeke swung Bahamut wrapped around his Aura Blade.

Quaching!

The Auror Blade collided with the black aura surrounding the monster’s body.

It seemed difficult to pierce that aura with a normal aura blade.

Zig used the Blade of Purification skill he had just obtained.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A golden aura of purifying power rose from his sword.

Then the terrible monster swung his staff and created a curtain of black energy.

Zeke swung his blade of purification toward the black curtain without stopping.

As soon as he was struck by the Blade of Purification the black energy surrounding the monster disappeared as if it was scattering.

Passs …

The monster rolled on the floor after being pushed back by Zeke’s sword strike.

He grabbed his staff and struck the ground again.

Quadddddddd—

This time a demon with a more terrifying appearance than before emerged.

Wow wow wow―

A giant undead made of red bones crawled out of the stone floor and opened its mouth towards Zeke.

At the same time black flames poured out from the undead’s mouth.

Whoosh whoosh!

The stone floor that the flames touched melted and boiled.

Zeke held Bahamut and blocked the black flames poured out by the undead.

Kwakwakwakwa!

Bahamut which had the indestructible property was not destroyed by the flames of the undead but only glowed red.

That’s when the message came to mind.

[Bahamut absorbs the flames of the Demon World.]

Zeke thought of Bahamut’s newly discovered unique ability ‘Magic Absorption’.

‘Can this kind of thing be absorbed too?’

As Zeke was surprised the message came back to him again as if all the flames the undead had released had been absorbed.

[Can re-emit absorbed flames.]

Zeke aimed his sword at the undead and spewed flames.

Then a crimson flame in the shape of a dragon burst out from Bahamut.

Kaaaa …

Black flames mixed with the dragon’s energy swallowed up the flames poured out by the undead and expanded their bodies.

Then it engulfed the entire giant undead and burst into flames.

Keeeeeeek―

The undead engulfed in Bahamut’s flames staggered in agony before soon turning to ash and disappearing.

Zeke couldn’t help but be amazed at Bahamut’s new abilities.

‘This much power. It’ll be no joke when it’s fully released.’

He glanced at Bahamut with pleased eyes and slowly approached the monster holding the staff.

‘Can you change the words in the system into Demonic Language?’

[Simultaneous interpretation of Demonic Language is provided.]

Zeke spoke to the monster.

“Who are you?”

The system converted what was said in the common language into the language of the demon world and transmitted it.

Then the monster opened his mouth in surprise.

[You know the language of the demon world? Are you really one of those who have sacrificed your soul?]

“I don’t know what you’re talking about but I’ve never given up my soul.”

The monster looked confused at Zeke’s words and spoke again.

[I can’t believe you’re still sane in the realm of power even though you’re not a member of the clan.]

“What is your subordinate and what is your power? Are you a black magician who has mastered the forbidden arts? Or are you a test subject sent by the Empire of Rom?”

Zeke threw out words here and there to test his opponent’s feelings.

But the monster showed no reaction to Zeke’s words.

Zeke opened his mouth again.

“Did the hell bastards send this?”

Then at that moment a subtle reaction appeared in the monster’s body.

Zeke saw the monster’s reaction and realized that he had some kind of connection to the Abyss.

‘Those damned bastards. They’re not just a bunch of warlocks are they?’

Zeke opened his mouth again.

“Are you a demon?”

The monster realized that Zeke was getting information by observing his reactions.

[What a clever guy.]

He spoke angrily then struck his own chest with his cane.

puck!

In that moment his body began to flow like liquid again.

Cheeeeeeek―

A terrible stench rose from the black liquid.

The liquid flowing out of the monster’s body flowed into the stone chamber creating black smoke.

Kururururung!

Before we knew it the entrance to the stone chamber was closed and this place became a completely sealed space.

The completely disoriented monster spoke to Zeke.

[The power of the ‘Rider of Blood and Madness’ is limitless. It is foolish for a lowly human to oppose me a member of the great being. Die in agony and despair!]

Just like when he was in the stone chamber at first only the cane stood upright on the floor and the monster had completely turned into liquid and disappeared.

At the same time black smoke filled the stone chamber.

Cheeeeeeek―

The black smoke burned Zeke’s flesh as if it was melting.

Even with the healing factor it didn’t recover properly.

‘Fuck.’

Realizing the seriousness of the situation Zeke ran towards Yong-a-byeong and Richmond.

“Summon Dragon Tooth Soldiers! Richmond you go in too!”

Yong-A-Byeong and Richmond disappeared into Zeke’s shadow.

He tried to quickly open a portal to escape from here.

But then a warning message appeared in red letters.

[Portal is not available in this area.]

“shit!”

Black smoke gradually filled the stone chamber and approached Zeke.

Ziggy first equipped the Hersion.

[Protects the user from magic imbued with the power of the Rider of Blood and Madness.]

The runes on Hersion’s surface glowed and rose.

Zeke then put on the mask of Agamemnon.

Then I took a deep breath.

‘Can we get rid of that with the Great Purification?’

Great Purification was a wide-ranging skill that purified the magic that had long plagued the Agamemnon family.

Zeke held Bahamut and focused his mind.

And I linked the great purification skill with the wide-range buff skill.

Wooooow!

Golden waves flowed from Zeke’s body.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk―

The movement of the black smoke that touched the golden waves slowed down.

Zeke confirmed that the power of the Great Purification was effective against the Black Smoke and released more of its power.

Woof woof woof!

Vibrations arose from Zeke’s body sending out waves like ripples.

Parts parts parts parts—

The black smoke scattered and turned to ash as it collided with a stronger wave than before.

Zeke concentrated his strength and drew out more of the power of purification.

“Haaaaaahhhhhh!”

In an instant a huge golden ring formed around Zig’s body.

The golden ring gradually expanded and spread out around Zig’s body.

It was as if the entire territory of Agamemnon had been purified.

Fishy fish …

The golden ring that Zeke exhaled collided with the black smoke and completely turned to ash.

The golden ring did not stop there but spread widely beyond the cave where the Hydra was towards the Giant Mountains.

A message window appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[Determine the scope of the purification.]

[We are carrying out the work of purifying the magic that has eroded the land.]

Srrrrrrrrrr—

Although Zeke could not tell the land and trees throughout the mountain range that had been eroded and corrupted by magic returned to their original forms as they were touched by golden waves.

At the same time the lands of the Barbarians that the hounds had touched also regained their original strength.

The mystical sight of the golden mountain range brought the Bavarian tribes out to watch.

Bigfoot the chieftain was also momentarily lost in the wonder of the sight.

The golden waves slowly disappeared after restoring all the destroyed Barbarian realms.

The golden waves flowing from Zeke’s body also subsided.

“Phew.”

Zig confirmed that the black smoke had completely disappeared and released Hersion.

He walked towards the cane that had fallen on the floor.

There were cracks here and there probably due to the power of the Great Purification.

“What the heck is this?”

Zeke examined the cane with his eyes closed.

-???????? information-

Description: A staff imbued with the powers bestowed upon his followers by the Riders of Blood and Madness.

Unique Ability: Summon Area Erosion Berserker

Special: Broken by the power of the Great Purification it lost its original power and only some of its power remained.

“Rider of Blood and Madness?”

Zeke remembered what the monster who had disappeared earlier had said was the power of the ‘Rider of Blood and Madness’.

No matter how much I thought about it it didn’t seem like a typical warlock.

Zeke summoned Richmond again.

“Gasp! Master.”

Richmond who was a rich man but also a timid man looked at Zeke with a pale face and said.

“Oh what happened?”

Zeke said giving Richmond his cane.

“Do you know what Richmond ‘Rider of Blood and Madness’ means?”

Richmond was startled by those words.

“Oh where did you hear that?”

“That staff contained the power of the ‘Rider of Blood and Madness.’”

“yes!?”

Richmond dropped his cane in surprise.

Zeke shook his head as he looked at Richmond.

“What happened to you Richie?”

“That’s because you just have to perform a ritual…”

“Anyway so you know what a ‘Rider of Blood and Madness’ is?”

Richmond nodded and said.

“That refers to the devil.”

“Devil? Demon?”

Richmond shook his head.

“Devils and demons are different. There are 666 demons in the demon world and each of those demons has their own followers. Those who are usually called demons are the demons’ followers.”

Zeke was startled by those words.

“So that guy from earlier was a demon?”

Richmond was even more surprised by Zeke’s words.

“Huh? Are you a demon?”

“You said you were a member of the devil’s clan. That guy said earlier that he was a member of the ‘Rider of Blood and Madness’.”

“omg!”

Richmond was more surprised and scared than Zeke.

Richmond wiped away the cold sweat and explained again.

“That that… Not only demons but also demons cannot enter the world of the living without permission. Rather than the demon I mentioned earlier you could think of it as a clone of the demon.”

“A clone. So does that mean the real thing is in the demon world?”

“In theory yes. But I’ve only learned it that way and I’ve never seen a real devil or demon so it’s hard to be sure.”

“Don’t black magicians worship demons and devils and stuff? Why don’t you know?”

“They say that such social groups were prevalent before the Holy Empire era but they are almost non-existent these days. It was hard to find one when I was active. It doesn’t make sense to sell your soul to a demon to learn forbidden techniques.”

Zeke nodded at Richmond’s words.

As far as he knew the black magic clans had never caused problems with social acts such as summoning demons or ogres which were considered crimes such as illegal chimera synthesis or human experimentation.

Zeke asked Richmond.

“Then is the ‘Rider of Blood and Madness’ also one of the 666 demons of the underworld?”

“Yes I understand it is recorded as a fairly strong demon.”

“It’s not a good sign that such a demonic vassal has revealed himself whether in the form of a clone or something.”

It seemed that Hydra’s sudden rampage was also due to the influence of the Demons.

At that moment something crossed Zeke’s mind.

‘Could it be that the Empire’s experiments are related to that Demon?’

Human experiments using demon blood or chimera experiments mixing humans and monsters were by no means the result of normal thinking.

Maybe Abel and Siemens were connected to this incident.

‘Things are getting more and more suspicious.’

That was when.

“Huh!?”

There was a strong vibration from the cane Richmond was holding.
