A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 145
by Hectopascal(헥토파스칼 )
Episode 145
Zeke woke Boris up right away.
“Are you the enemy?”
“okay.”
Zeke and Boris came out of the cave stealthily and moved towards the direction where the dragonfly had sent the signal.
Zeke and Boris moved cautiously over the canyon.
When they had moved a certain distance Zeke signaled to Boris to stop.
Then he looked ahead with his eyes wide open.
There were shadows in his field of vision.
The sun was rising dimly allowing me to make out the strangers’ figures in detail.
Zeke noticed their unique costumes.
‘Green coat.’
All five men were wearing dark green coats that would have been fashionable 300 years ago and green triangular hats that old soldiers might have worn.
Zeke recalled what he had heard while interrogating the wizard of the Scorpion Clan.
‘They said that the guys sent from the Abyss always wear green clothes.’
Even from afar I could feel an ominous energy coming from them.
Zeke said to Boris.
“Boris wait here and when I get into trouble detonate the magic bombs you’ve set up. When you see the Sacred Kingdom guys shoot a signal flare.”
“Okay boss.”
Zeke followed the men in green leaving Boris behind.
The people in green clothes moved like soldiers just like their uniforms.
They dug into the canyons of Death Valley taking precise angles without any disruption.
Zeke checked the map and saw that there was a suitable ambush location inside the canyon.
He immediately pulled back and quickly went into the valley.
Zig who had learned all the surrounding terrain through the map planned to lure them to a place where he could fight advantageously.
Zeke entered the valley he had previously inspected and took a higher position.

Then he summoned the dragon soldiers.
“Everyone in position.”
Twenty dragon soldiers spread out throughout the valley each taking up a position and aiming their bows.
Ziggy was equipped with Hersion in advance.
Thorough preparation was necessary because we didn’t know what abilities the people in green had.
He sent a platoon of dragon soldiers to lure the green-clad men.
Shushu shuk!
From above the valley a dragon’s man shot an arrow drawing the attention of the green men.
ping!
The green men deflected all of the dragon soldiers’ arrows with their shields.
The green men began to track the dragon’s movements and chase after him.
Zeke observed the movements of the green men through the eyes of the dragon soldier.
The people in green followed at a rapid pace.
But surprisingly it wasn’t magic but running directly to chase after the dragon’s teeth.
‘Aren’t they wizards?’
It was different from the abyss wizards I had seen so far.
Soon people dressed in green entered the canyon that Zeke had lured them into.
It was a terrain that was unfavorable for magicians as it was surrounded by cliffs on all sides and had an open space inside.
Zig hid behind a rock and checked the figures in green.
‘Why are you coming in so confidently and head on?’
If it were Zeke he would have separated half of them and made them go back to the back of the canyon but these two confidently stepped forward.
Their behavior was more like that of a knight than a wizard.
Then the people in green reached out and created something with their hands.
‘That’s?’
Wooden swords sprouted from their hands.
Then one of them turned his head and looked exactly where Zeke was.
‘Could it be that I was caught in a trap on purpose?’
As Zeke was thinking that the person in the middle stepped forward.
“Zeke Draker I am a loyal servant of the ‘Green Wish of Clearness’ and a warrior of green.”
Surprisingly they did not hesitate to tell us the constellation name of the demon they worshipped.
‘What kind of guys are they? They’re strange.’
He shouted at Zeke.
“I have heard that Draker is a knight among knights. As a warrior of green I challenge you to a fair fight.”
It was a completely unexpected proposal.
Zeke looked around through the dragon soldiers.
Because I was suspicious that there might be a trap.
However even though he looked around with his eyes and eyes there was no such sign.

‘If it’s not a trap then you’re saying you’re going to confront it head on.’
It was clearly different from the abyss wizards I had seen so far.
Zeke slowly got up from his seat and shouted at the green figures.
“Green Warrior! I wish to accept your honorable offer. But the servants of the ‘Riders of Blood and Madness’ and the ‘Master of the Lowliest’ I have ever faced have never shown me honor. Can you swear that you are different?”
Zik threw out a topic imitating his opponent’s archaic speech.
Then the green warrior captain nodded and said.
“As you said those servants are men of no honor. But we green warriors are different. We swear that we will fight as honorable warriors.”
Zeke chuckled.
As he expected they were closer to knights or warriors than magicians.
‘Good. Those kind of diehards are the easiest to deal with.’
It was Zeke who tried to deceive the devil’s subordinates.
He jumped down from the top of the canyon.
The green warriors seen up close had a strange appearance.
Not only did he hold a sword that looked like a tree branch with tree bark still attached to it but he also had tree bark attached to his face making him look like he was wearing a mask.
Zeke spoke to them.
“Green warriors. What is this fight for?”
Then one of those behind him opened his mouth.
“If you lose tell me the location of the holy relic and die with honor.”
“What if I win?”
“I will give you whatever you want.”
“What I want is…..”
Zeke slowly raised his sword.
Then the green warriors also aimed their swords at Zeke.
Zig said to them seeing them like that.
“Didn’t you say it was a fair fight? It doesn’t seem honorable for five warriors to fight one knight.”
Then suddenly the green warriors opened their mouths simultaneously.
“We are separate and yet one being.”
Zeke chuckled to himself.
Although they talked about honor in the end they too were servants of the devil.
It was a great mistake to even think of the honor of a common knight.
The five green warriors rushed towards Zeke as if they had nothing more to say.
Clang! Clang!
Their movements were not much different from those of the Blue Knights.
As the green warriors charged the wooden swords they were holding began to extend forward.
Chomp chomp chomp!
Five long wooden spears extended toward Zig.
Zeke struck Bahamut with a wooden spear.
Kwajik!
Even though Bahamut’s strong power not only cut through the wooden spears but also cut them down Zeke’s expression was not good. The heavy feeling was by no means like that of a normal tree.
‘It feels like cutting a lump of iron.’
The wooden window was cut off but it was okay.
The green warriors created another weapon in their other hand.
Some people made axes others made curved weapons.
Then as if they were one body they simultaneously rushed towards Zeke.
Shushu shushuk!
Zeke dodged the spears swords and axes flying from all directions.
Crunch!
The wooden spear that he couldn’t dodge in time was stuck in Zig’s body.
However Hersion blocked the wooden spear and activated his shield at the same time bouncing the warrior back with the force of the blow.
“Ugh!”
The thrown warrior took up his stance again and produced a wooden spear.
As the warrior in front swung his spear the warrior holding the axe moved behind Zeke and aimed for his blind spot.
The attacks poured out without pause organically connected like flowing water as if they could read each other’s thoughts.
Pachin!
Zeke swung his sword striking the spear and axe at the same time and stepped back.
There a warrior with a thorned wooden sword was waiting for the retreating Zigg.
Choaack!
As he dodged the thorn on the wooden sword lightly grazed his cheek which was not wearing a helmet.
[The vicious poison of the thorn vines that inhabit the Demon Realm has been detected.]
[The constitution is impervious to poison and neutralizes poison.]
The constitution that made him invulnerable to poison after binge-eating Hydra even neutralized the poison of the demon world.
‘They’re a difficult bunch to deal with.’
Zeke dodged the attacks here and there and observed the movements of the green warriors.
The green warriors gathered together and aimed their weapons at Zeke.
It takes tremendous training to get the five of them to move as if they were truly one body.
Forming a passing formation and attacking was much more difficult than I thought.
That’s why Zeke couldn’t help but wonder about their passing now. Zeke said while looking at the green warriors.
“Hey how can you guys make moves like this?”
In his previous life when Zeke was in the North he had trained relatively weak Northern mercenaries and attempted to use this pass line to deal with the knights.
In the end it was a half success.
The qualifications alone were not enough for a mercenary to take on a knight.
But the advanced training helped increase their survival rate.
And the movements that the green warriors were now showing were the ideal form of passing that Zeke had been hoping for.
The green warriors opened their mouths.
“We are many.”
“One.”
“By the power of the great ‘clear green wish’.”
“It surpassed human limitations.”
“Fear the power of the master.”
Several people spoke as if they were one.
Zeke realized that their passing power was the power of the clan.
‘It’s not black magic but this is how you can use the power of the demons.’
The fact that the power of the Demon Race could be used in this way meant that knights could also receive unholy powers at any time.
Zeke thought of Cain who had overeaten.
‘Did Cain also make a contract with the Demons?’
If they could borrow the power of the Demons to become stronger it was clear that many knights would have a hard time shaking off that temptation.
Zeke held Bahamut tightly and glared at the green warriors.
‘If we catch those guys we might be able to learn more about the true nature of the Abyss.’
As soon as he finished his thought Zeke leapt forward.
Choaaaah!
Even if they had a perfect lineup they couldn’t completely fill the gap in power.
Since each of them had the power of a blue knight considering the power of the passing faction they were able to easily subdue the red knights.
But Zeke was no ordinary red knight.
“Strong will.”
Equipped with a helmet and wrapped in Hersion all over his body Zigg strengthened his body with all his might and boldly ran forward.
Quaching!
Hersion who was filled with the will to teach deflected all the weapons swung by the green warriors.
The green warriors panicked when their attacks failed.
Zeke didn’t miss that opportunity.
Zig who had figured out the flow of the passers-by to some extent began to seriously fight the green warriors.
Phew!
As Zeke swung Bahamut with great force the green warriors’ balance was shaken by the wind pressure.
Zigg created a field of gold power adding weight to his sword.
Kookookookookook!
Zeke swung his sword at the warrior in front.
Kwajik!
The wooden weapon was shattered into pieces.
“Cough!”
Not only was the weapon shattered but the warrior himself was struck by the sword strike and fell back.
“Haaaah!”
The weight of the Golden Force increased as the sword strikes increased. That’s why Zigg continued to strike with stronger sword strikes without stopping.
Kwakwakwa!
The warrior who took the brunt of the weighted sword strike also had his axe shattered into pieces.
Kookookookookook!
One warrior was completely blown away and crashed into the canyon wall.
The green warriors’ eyes changed as they were pushed back by Zeke’s attack.
Unlike before when he was calm and controlled his green eyes flashed.
“We are many.”
“It is also one.”
They muttered their incantations like fanatics and then the five of them rushed towards Zeke at the same time.
“Come.”
Zeke transformed Bahamut’s form increasing the length of the blade.
Choaaaah!
Zeke waited for the right moment and swung Bahamut which had grown to over 3 meters long horizontally.
Hooooooooooo!
As the blade became longer the power of the gold contained within it also became stronger.
Kwakwakwakwang!
All the warriors who were hit by Bahamut were blown to the canyon wall.
Zig shouted as he looked at them pinned against the wall.
“Honorable warriors of the green. Is this all there is to it?”
Then the green warriors who had been pinned to the wall slowly crawled out.
Their eyes visible through their wooden masks flashed green.
At the same time ominous spells flowed from their mouths.
[??????????????????????????????????….]
