A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 136



Episode 136

‘Could that be?’

Zeke recalled the retinue wielding the staff of the ‘Riders of Blood and Madness’ in the Hydra’s cave.

Woodduduk!

The blood and black smoke that had seeped into the ground clumped together and clung to the body of the dead wizard.

Krrrrrr!

The body of the already dead wizard began to twist strangely and slowly rise up.

Then with a cracking sound his waist turned 180 degrees.

The robe covering his face was torn revealing his bald head. The back of his head moved and a human face appeared.

Ugh!

Sharp bones were protruding from his turned elbows and fingernails and toenails were growing like those of a wild beast.

Grrrrrrrr!

The face on the back of my head began to scream.

Zeke realized that the demon’s vassal the Majok had appeared in the body of a dead wizard.

“The Hammer of Light!”

Zeke used his skill towards the screaming followers.

Pachin!

However the hammer of light was blocked by the black smoke that enveloped the bodies of the followers and was scattered.

‘He seems stronger than that guy last time?’

Grrrrr!

As the back of the wizard’s head split open a beast-faced demonic figure was revealed within.

[How dare you touch the servant of the ‘Master of the Lowest Place’….]

It seemed to be a different demon’s faction from the ‘Riders of Blood and Madness’.

Zeke took up the Orichalcum sword and aimed it at his followers.

“You demon. What are you planning to do with the Luverne bloodline?”

There was no way the guy would answer Zeke’s question.

The demon straightened his back as if he had finished preparing. Then a body that was so large that it was hard to believe it had taken up the body of a small wizard was revealed.

On the outside it looked like a giant werewolf with its skin peeled off but the aura and feeling it gave off were completely different.

[I smell a disgusting light seed from you.]

It seemed that light magic was definitely against the demons.

After a while the demon crouched down and rushed straight towards Zig.

Phew!

Sharp claws slid across the spot where Zeke had been.

The magic contained in each fingernail was as powerful as an auror blade.

‘It’s not easy.’

Zik equipped himself with the newly made Hersion and even wore the mask of Agamemnon.

A blade of purification rose from the Orichalcum sword.

Wooooow!

A golden aura emanated from the sword as if it were burning.

The demons were taken aback by the energy they felt from the Blade of Purification and stepped back.

[That’s…?]

The demon bared his teeth as he looked at Zig.

[You are the key to the holy relic!]

Then he opened his mouth wide and spit out black air.

Kwakwakwakwa!

Zig swung his blade of purification towards the black energy.

Dragon’s Sword Technique

Chapter 3 Section 1

Half Moon Begi

The crescent-shaped blade imbued with the energy of the Blade of Purification cut through the black energy poured out by the Demon Tribe.

Choaaaak!

Zigg ran towards the demon tribe with a golden aura covering his body and thrust out his dragon claws.

Choaaaak!

The powerful dragon claw skill was directly embedded in the demon’s body.

[Cough!]

As the demons retreated after being hit by an unexpected attack Zeke spun around in the air and swung his blade of purification.

Crunch-

Zeke’s sword sliced ​​through the demon’s shoulders and waist.

Kookung!

The severed body fell to the floor.

Zig used his soul sealing technique to pull out the chains and wrap them tightly around the demon’s upper body.

Cheeeeek!

The demon’s body scattered black ash as soon as the chain touched it.

[Kuaaaaak!]

The demon screamed in pain.

Zig asked thrusting the Blade of Purification into his mouth.

“What is the Holy Relic? Is that the reason you seek the bloodline of Luverne and not a miracle?”

Zeke remembered the word ‘holy relic’ from the newly appeared main quest.

‘It’s a quest that came after the Luverne quest so I think there might be some kind of connection.’

The chained demon looked at Zig and fired a lightning bolt.

[Krrrrr. I have remembered your soul. Now the ‘Lord of the Lowest Place’ will send his followers to tear my boy to pieces.]

Zeke pulled the chain harder.

[Kuaaaaak!]

“Where did this kid get his threats from? He’s trying to get away with it.”

If you thought that Zeke would be scared by the threat of the Demons you were very mistaken.

Zig snickered and decided to clear the quest mission and test out his newly acquired skills.

“Holy fire.”

When Zeke used his Holy Fire skill a white flame appeared in front of him.

The flames circled around Zeke’s body.

‘Is this a holy fire? It’s just a warm flame but why is it an S-class skill?’

But then the demon trapped under Zeke’s feet screamed.

[Ahh! Get that out of the way! Get that out of the way!]

Surprisingly the body of the demon exposed to the light from the Holy Fire turned to ash and scattered.

Zeke was surprised to see it.

‘Is it true that the magical effects of light unfold wherever the light of the Holy Spirit touches?’

In that case if there was a holy fire even knights who couldn’t use light magic would be able to fight against demons and beasts.

Zig said thrusting the Holy Fire at the demon.

“What is the holy relic? Tell me quickly.”

Cheeeeeeek―

[Kkaaaah!]

It was Zigg who tortured the demons with the Holy Fire.

The demon wanted to abandon his body and return to the demon world but he was unable to move due to the soul sealing technique.

The demon was filled with fear as he watched Zigg burn only the painful parts with the holy fire.

“You’re holding up better than I thought.”

Zeke held the Orichalcum sword and used the Light’s Punishment skill.

Then he placed it against the demon’s side.

Tsk tsk tsk―

[Kkaaaah!]

The Blade of Purification disperses and dispels magical energy the moment it is applied while the magic of light does not dispel magical energy but seems to cause pain to the demons.

The light of the Holy Fire made the suffering even worse.

The demon finally couldn’t bear the pain and opened his mouth.

[Kwaaak! There was a fierce competition among the Guo clan!]

“What do you mean by competition?”

[Kreuk. The group that brings the holy relic will be given a chance to increase their rank. If you are a blood relative of Lu Luverne you can find the holy relic!]

“What are you talking about? To put it simply what does it mean to be promoted?”

The demon trembled in pain and barely opened his mouth.

[Whew. Whoa. That means… even people like us can have constellation names.]

Zig tilted his head at the demon’s words.

“Constellations? What the hell are you talking about? What are those demons talking about constellations?”

Just then a loud noise was heard from behind.

‘Those are the hunting dogs. Tsk.’

I couldn’t waste any more time.

Zig used Gluttony on the Demons.

Ss …

Zeke’s shadow slowly absorbed the demons.

[What the heck! What are you doing!]

The demon’s body was completely absorbed into Zig’s shadow.

A message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[I gorged on a corrupted mine that was completely consumed by magic.]

[The consumed stamina and mental power mana replenishes.]

[I have devoured some of the corrupted souls of Griesmodal a subordinate of the ‘Lord of the Lowest Place’ who resided in the eroded body.]

[By absorbing the bloodline abilities of the gluttonous clan the passive skill battle sense changes to that of a beast.]

[500 Karma Points will be awarded as a bonus reward.]

Zig looked satisfied as he saw the reward for devouring the demons.

‘Even the reinforced Hydra was worth 1500 points but I got 500 points from a relatively easy opponent.’

It seemed like catching a demon gave you a lot more karma points as bonus points.

‘The sense of the beast.’

Before leaving Zeke tested his enhanced sense skills.

‘Huh?’

It felt like all the movement information around him was being transmitted to Zig in three dimensions beyond his five senses.

Zeke felt the movement of the hounds approaching him and used stealth to hide himself.

After safely escaping from the hounds’ net he wandered through the forest for several days luring the paladins and hounds using the dragons to fight each other and shaking up the world.

In the meantime the princess and her entourage were able to safely escape Tempel and arrive at Mycenae.

* * *

Zig arrived in Mycenae a few days after the princess and her entourage.

The family of Agamemnon welcomed Zigg warmly.

“It’s been a long time my lord.”

Rufus Agamemnon the head of the Agamemnon clan who had been notified in advance embraced Zeke.

“Come in Zeke.”

Zeke could feel a sense of kinship with Rufus who welcomed him.

“It’s been a while my lord.”

“Oh I told you to call me Grandpa.”

Zeke looked at Rufus and smirked.

“Yes Grandfather. Did Princess Arina arrive safely?”

“Yes. I already received your call and prepared in advance. I’ve brought you inside so let’s go together.”

Zeke and Rufus headed to where Princess Arina was.

The princess was with Clone who was dressed in a nun’s habit.

She saw Zeke and ran out in one stride.

“Sir Zeke! Are you safe?”

Princess Arina took Zeke’s hand and looked genuinely relieved.

“Didn’t I tell you that it was okay? I’m glad that Your Highness arrived safely.”

Rufus looked at Zig and Princess Arina with a strange expression.

Zeke sat on the sofa opposite Princess Cloone along with Rufus.

“Are you experiencing any inconvenience in your stay?”

The princess answered with a smile.

“Your Majesty you are so kind to me. I was able to sleep peacefully for the first time in a long time.”

When I was in Tempel I always had to live in fear of an attack coming at any moment.

However if it was Agamemnon’s castle it would not be possible for anyone not only the Holy Kingdom but also the empire to barge in without permission.

Rufus spoke to Princess Arina in a polite manner.

“Please think of this as the princess’s castle and make yourself at home.”

The princess smiled at Rufus.

Zeke asked Clone.

“Did the Rose Knights arrive safely?”

“They’re not all here yet but they’ll be here soon… Yeah. No they will be here.”

Sister Cloone was talking comfortably with Zeke but then she looked at the princess and the head of the household Rufus and started talking.

Zeke said as he looked at Clone like that.

“Don’t do anything that doesn’t suit you and just speak comfortably.”

“I wonder?”

It was Clone who spoke right away while observing the situation.

After hearing the whole story Zeke asked Rufus and Clone to step aside for a moment.

Rufus got up and whispered to Zeke.

“Grandpa Zeke is in favor.”

“…?”

Rufus gave Zeke a thumbs up and walked out.

Seeing Rufus like that Zeke shook his head in confusion.

‘Grandpa don’t you know the princess’s age?’

Zig came to his senses and told Princess Arina about his encounter with the demons.

“I thought things like demons only happened in stories.”

“Your Highness. Have you ever heard of the Holy Relic?”

The Demons said that they could find the Holy Relic through Luverne’s bloodline.

But Princess Arina tilted her head.

“A holy relic. This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”

If Princess Arina the successor to Luverne’s magic didn’t know then no one in Luverne’s bloodline would know.

At that moment Princess Arina slapped her palm.

“Oh maybe that’s what you mean by holy relic.”

“What do you mean?”

“There’s a story my mother told me when I was little. It’s about the Fairy King.”

“The Fairy King?”

“Yes. The Fairy King is a being born from the first tears shed by the primordial light that created this world. That is why unlike other constellations the Fairy King retains the power of the primordial.”

“Wait a minute. The light of the beginning? Are you referring to the sun god?”

“No. All the constellations including the sun god and the moon goddess are those who branched off from the primordial light.”

“I know that both the Holy Empire and the Holy Kingdom worshipped the sun god. This is the first time I’ve heard of the primordial light.”

“The magic of light in Luverne was created by following the light of the beginning. The god originally worshipped by the Holy Empire was not the sun god but the light of the beginning.”

“I see.”

The princess continued her explanation.

“It is said that the Fairy King the only being who retained the power of the primordial light gave three gifts to humans who were weaker than other races. It is a legend that thanks to those gifts humans were able to prosper as they are today.”

“Three gifts containing the power of the Fairy King. Those could be the Holy Relics.”

“I think that would be the closest.”

“Then do you know where that relic is?”

The princess shook her head.

“I also heard this story from my mother so I thought it was just a legend and never thought it was real. But….”

She said looking at Zeke.

“If you are the hermit of the story you might know about the holy relic.”
