A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 146



Episode 146

Zig read the demon language translated by the system.

[We are separate and yet one. We are separate and yet one.]

As the ominous spell continued branches and roots began to sprout from the green warriors’ bodies.

‘what?’

The branches and roots sprouting from the warriors’ bodies began to entangle themselves.

The trees that had gathered together in this way took the shape of a giant warrior.

The five warriors merged into one each forming the arms legs and torso of a tree warrior.

Kookookookookook!

A giant warrior made of wood rose up.

‘What is that?’

Then the branches of what looked like the head of a tree warrior moved and spoke to Zeke.

[I am the one who upholds the honorable ‘Wish of Clear Green’. My name is Aratasso.]

Zeke realized that the green warriors had summoned the clear green retinue of desire.

‘They were talking about honor and such but since it seemed like they were going to be pushed back they immediately summoned their followers.’

It was nonsense for devil worshippers to talk about honor in the first place.

Zeke spoke to Arataso.

“I was in a duel of honor with the five warriors who summoned you. But then someone else suddenly intervened and I am truly embarrassed. Will you allow me to finish the honorable duel with the five warriors?”

Then Aratasso shook his head.

[The clear green desire’s subordinates are separate but they are one. The five of them are like me so the honorable duel will continue with me.]

It was an absurd excuse but it wasn’t surprising when you consider that the opponent was a member of the demon tribe.

‘They say that sophistry and lies are the most useful weapons that humans can learn from the devil but it feels disgusting to experience them.’

Zeke aimed Bahamut at Aratasso because he felt like talking more would only make him angry.

I figured that if I just kept hitting them whether it was five green warriors or one demon something would come out.

Looking at such a jiggle Arataso stretched out his huge body.

Then he slammed the wooden sword he was holding into the floor.

Kwakwakwakwa!

Green aura-filled tree roots began to spread across the entire ground.

Zeke stepped back avoiding the tree roots.

‘What is this?’

Woohoo!

The vibrations resonated from where the tree roots spread.

At the same time sparks flew from Herzion.

A message window appeared before my eyes.

[Affected by the barrier magic used by the Demon Tribe.]

[System operation is restricted within the barrier.]

[Powers and skills cannot be activated within the barrier.]

[Due to the barrier’s effect stamina consumption increases.]

‘The Demon’s Barrier?’

It was a completely different fighting style from the demons that Zeke had encountered so far.

Arataso put down the sword he had stuck in the ground and got up.

A new sword grew from his hand.

He raised his sword towards Zeke in that state.

[Take up your sword mortal knight! Prove your valor with honor!]

Arataso was the one who suddenly set up a barrier without warning and spoke nonsense.

Because the system and power skills were not working properly not only Hersion but also Agamemnon’s mask and light magic could not be used.

‘What a disaster.’

Zeke aimed Bahamut at Aratasso.

“Fame is your shit. I’ll make you crawl on the floor.”

Woohoo!

Zeke’s sword was wrapped in aura.

At the same time Zeke who had assumed the stance of the Dragon Slayer ran straight towards Arataso.

Choaaaah!

Zeke’s sword strike flew towards Arataso.

Kwakwakwakwang!

The wooden shield made by Aratasou deflected Zigg’s sword strike.

Aratasso was not hit at all only pieces of wood were flying off.

All that was left was a tingling sensation in Zeke’s wrist as he struck the shield.

‘It’s like hitting a lump of iron.’

Aratasso ran forward towards Zeke holding his shield.

Kwakwakwakwa!

The shield swung by Aratasso’s gigantic body flew towards Zeke.

“Chahaaaat!”

Zeke unleashed a field of hydraulic power to gently block Arataso’s attack.

Phew!

Arataso whose attack was neutralized by the Wave Sword tilted to the side as if unable to support his own weight.

Zeke didn’t miss that opportunity.

“Absolute will!”

He cut down Aratasso’s shield with his whole body.

Choaaaak!

To his surprise Aratasso’s shield split in half and fell to the ground.

Aratasou’s eyes changed when he saw that sight.

[You’re not an ordinary human.]

Kookookookookook!

A green light bloomed in his eyes.

The tree sprouted again and formed a shield larger and stronger than before.

At the same time a green aura rose from Arataso’s sword. It felt subtly different from when he had created the barrier earlier.

At first glance it felt similar to an aura.

‘The Demon Tribe uses Aura?’

An aura blade also rose from Zeke’s sword.

“Haaaaaaah!”

Zeke’s sword and Aratasso’s sword clashed.

Phage phage phage!

Every time the blue aura blade and green aura collided sparks flew and the impact split the ground apart.

The two men’s swords clashed dozens of times.

Arataso shouted bursting into flames.

[Human knight! Swing your sword more! And howl! Your despair and fear will become my strength!]

Arataso’s sword strike was heavy and sharp.

‘Ugh!’

Zeke held Bahamut and swung it without stopping.

Although Zigg had infinite stamina his strength had its limits as the battle went on.

If you make a mistake the worst thing that could happen is you lose consciousness during the battle.

Zeke stepped back and blocked Arataso’s sword.

Kwakwakwakwang!

Aratasso’s sword continued to rain down on Zeke without stopping.

Zig used his fast-swinging swordsmanship to knock away Arataso’s sword.

But soon he was forced to give in to the pressure.

Kwakwakwakwang!

Zeke who was hit by Arataso’s sword strike was slammed into the wall.

“Hoo hoo.”

Zeke felt his strength draining faster than usual due to the barrier’s effects.

He managed to stand again holding his sword.

Aratasso holding a sword aimed at Zigg and said.

[For a human you have decent skills. However you are far from being able to lead thousands of demon warriors.]

Rather than refute Arataso’s outrageous words Zeke took a deep breath and calmly picked up his sword again.

Zeke raised his Aura Blade again and lunged at Arataso.

Kwakwakwakwa!

He swung his sword and struck with his sword but it soon hit his shield and bounced away in vain.

“Phew. Phew.”

Zeke was holding his sword with his body as low as possible as if his body was heavy.

That was when.

Phage crackle!

Suddenly sparks started flying from the floor.

Aratasou was embarrassed.

[What is it?]

The roots on the ground were dug up by Zeke’s Aura Blade.

Aratasso shouted at Zeke.

[You! Are you trying to break my barrier?]

By the time I noticed it was already too late.

He swung his dragon claw at Arataso’s wooden sword that Zeke had planted in the ground.

Kkwaddudduk!

The already weak sword broke and the barrier disappeared.

[Restores system functionality.]

Clang! Clang!

Ziggy again equipped Hersion and also equipped the Mask of Agamemnon.

“The Hammer of Light!”

Zeke cast light magic straight at Aratasso.

Kwakwakwakwang!

There was no way to give Arataso another chance to create a barrier.

Zig used his Holy Fire skill in advance to prepare himself so that even if a barrier was created he would be able to escape its influence.

The fight with Aratasso made me keenly aware of the things I need to be careful of when fighting the demons.

Kookookookookook!

The dust cloud cleared revealing Arataso its bark peeling off here and there after being struck by the hammer of light.

He spoke to Zeke with his green eyes shining.

[Human! I admire your courage. I Arataso will do my best to protect my master’s honor!]

In an instant Arataso’s body which had been standing on two feet began to change.

Aratasso whose lower body had been transformed into that of a horse resembled a centaur with one arm serving as a shield and the other as a spear.

As if it were a real story Arataso scratched the ground with his hoof.

Zeke raised the Blade of Purification.

Aratasso raised his forelegs in surprise and shouted as a golden aura filled with the power of purification enveloped Bahamut.

[How terrible! I fear that my clear green soul given to me by my master will be tainted by that dirty light! Isn’t this also a test for me as a warrior given to me by my master! Cry! Howl! Today I Aratasso will create a warrior’s feat with a new rhythm!]

Watching Arataso spouting out awkward lines Zeke quietly took the Dragon Slaughter Technique.

Wooooow!

A golden aura extended from Zeke’s entire body.

At the same time a dark green light emanated from Aratasso’s body.

Kugugugugugu!

A green light like an aura blade seeped into Arataso’s spear.

The already long spear felt even larger as it was permeated with green energy.

Aratasso jumped towards Zeke first.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo!

With a sound that shook the earth’s axis Aratasso thrust his spear forward.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!

A vortex of green light flew towards Zig.

Zeke also used the Dragon Slayer technique with Bahamut which was imbued with the Blade of Purification.

Dragon’s Sword Technique

Chapter 4 Section 2

Flying the full moon

A huge full moon cut through the green vortex and struck Aratasso’s body.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwang!

A full moon with a golden aura passed over Arataso’s body.

[Kekekekeke!]

Arataso stepped back after being hit directly by an unexpectedly strong sword strike.

Because it was an attack imbued with the power of purification even he a demon could not recover from his injuries.

His wooden body was broken in half lengthwise from his shoulder to his side.

Green smoke rose from the wound.

[That cheeky human…]

After being hit Arataso’s relaxed appearance from before was nowhere to be found and he was spouting harsh words.

Zeke didn’t stop there and hurled a hammer of light at Arataso.

Kwakwakwakwang!

A powerful lightning strike fell on Aratasso’s head.

thud!

Aratasso blocked the hammer of light with his shield.

During that gap Zeke created a field of flames and spread a blue flame dance on Aratasso’s body.

Whoosh whoosh!

A huge spear of fire struck Aratasso’s body.

[Ugh!]

Since it was pure fire made of elemental power Arataso’s body which was made of magic also burned.

Arataso hurriedly cut off the burned part and regenerated a new body.

In the detached body lay a dead green warrior his life force completely sucked out and reduced to a mummified state.

Aratasou shouted in a voice full of anger unlike before.

[For the honor of my master! I will cut off your head and offer it on the altar!]

Doo doo doo doo doo!

Arataso charged straight at Zigg with his spear in hand.

Phew!

It was Arataso who attacked Zeke while handling a giant spear in a miraculous way.

Phew!

Aratasso’s spear technique was incredibly strange.

It felt like he was stabbing me then he cut me to the side then he cut me to the side then he stabbed me.

It seemed to pass by but the spear grew longer and thrust forward.

‘What a difficult spear technique to grasp.’

It felt completely different from human creativity.

Zeke could feel firsthand that when dealing with demons or devils he had to consider attacks that were beyond human common sense.

bang!

The spear struck Zig’s back from an unexpected angle.

“Ugh!”

If Hersion had not been there this attack might have resulted in fatal injuries.

Zeke tried to learn the spear technique of the Demon Tribe by striking down Aratasso’s spear that flew at him irregularly.

At that moment a green mist rose from Aratasso’s body.

‘It looks like the patients’ vitality is almost gone.’

Zeke looked for an opening while striking Aratasso’s spear.

Then he pulled the chain out of his left hand and swung his leg.

Kookung!

Aratasso lost his balance and fell over as his legs were chained shut.

Then Arataso discarded the horse-like body and separated only the upper body to create a new body.

His body size has shrunk significantly since its beginning and he is now as big as a barbarian.

[I’m surprised that you’re pushing me a member of the ‘Clear Green Wish’ faction into this.]

It was Arataso who suddenly gained weight again.

He produced a shield and a sword and aimed them at Zigg shouting.

[Before I return to the Demon World I will devour your soul and inflict eternal suffering on you!]
