A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 149



Episode 149

“Your Majesty we can’t break through with full force right now!”

The captain holding the shield at the front gave advice to Lewis.

A wise commander would have ordered a retreat taking into account the difference in strength but neither the Cardinal nor Louis had any such intention.

“You should be ashamed! How can you still call yourself a warrior of God?”

It was Louis who talked about his faith while hiding his greed.

It was an unfair order but there was nothing I could do about it.

The Paladin unit stood before the warrior statue again holding their shields.

Kookookookook!

The warrior statue also changed its stance from before holding its weapon.

It contained the will to pass the warning stage and truly destroy the enemy.

The cardinal gritted his teeth and glared at the statues.

“May the miracle of the sun god bring us light!”

His robes glowed again.

Whoosh whoosh!

A much larger fireball than before appeared.

The flames of the Sun Cult were more powerful than the flame magic of any other magical sect.

The power of solar magic which had been developed since the days of the Holy Empire was something that could not be ignored.

“Burnt under the fire of the sacred sun you heretical monsters!”

The fireball flew towards the statues at high speed.

Kwakwakwakwang!

The stone statues held shields.

Then a magic circle rose from the shield and blocked the fireball.

At the same time the fireball split into several pieces and began flying towards the Paladin unit.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

Reflected fireballs flew in causing explosions here and there.

“Kwaaah!”

The Paladins engulfed in flames screamed.

The display of shield walls quickly collapsed.

Taking advantage of the gap the statues brandished their weapons and attacked the Paladins who had broken away from the display.

“Eww!”

The screams of the Paladins engulfed in flames and the screams of the Paladins crushed by the stone statues’ attacks filled the cave.

The cardinal opened his mouth trembling as he looked at the battlefield that had become a mess.

“Damn it! Lou Louis! Protect me! Quickly!”

That was when.

The cardinal felt the sharp dagger against his neck.

“What what!”

Someone spoke while holding a dagger to the cardinal’s neck.

“Shut your mouth you piece of trash of the Holy Kingdom. If you use magic you’ll get a hole in your throat the moment you do.”

The one holding the sword was none other than Zigg.

Zeke kicked the Cardinal in the knee.

Wood crunch!

The cardinal’s knees were shattered and he collapsed.

“Cough!”

The cardinal grunted in shock and clenched his teeth.

Zeke stabbed the dagger he was holding into the cardinal’s shoulder.

“Kwaaaaak!”

Zeke had just watched how the Cardinal and Louis treated the Luverne clans.

He was extremely angry at the inhumane treatment of children who were not yet fully grown.

It was only when the Cardinal screamed that Louis became aware of Zeke’s presence.

“Zeke said grabbing the screaming cardinal by the scruff of his neck and throwing him backwards.

“Boris hold that piece of trash tight. If he tries to use magic cut his balls off.”

He approached Louis who noticed him with a cold gaze while pulling out Bahamut.

Kookung!

Louis watched Zeke walk out of the darkness and immediately sensed that there was something unusual about him.

He took a deep breath and spoke to Zeke.

“Zeke Draker. Are you an enemy of the Church of the Sun as a heretic?”

Zeke also spoke while aiming at Bahamut.

“If it were known to the outside world that the Sun Cult was imprisoning the Luverne clan and exploiting them like slaves would people still say that they were heretics?”

Louis’ face hardened at Zeke’s words.

An aura blade rose from his sword.

“All in the name of the sun god…”

“You only seek God’s name when you have nothing to say.”

Louis ran towards Zeke as if there was no need to respond.

“Haat!”

Even though Zeke was the youngest blue ascendant on the continent he believed that he was no match for the red knight he was.

But that thought immediately changed when he faced Zeke and the sword.

bang!

Bahamut roughly struck Louis’ sword.

Louis stepped back in surprise.

“How can this be…?”

My wrist started tingling.

The power felt from Zeke’s sword was by no means that of the Blue Knight.

“Hey you are you the Red Knight?”

An aura blade shot out fiercely from Zeke’s sword.

Louis hesitated and stepped back as he saw Zeke’s Auror Blade which was larger and more powerful than his own.

If he stepped back any further the warrior statue would move again so Louis caught his breath and gripped his sword tightly.

‘Even though we are both red knights I have the advantage because I have more experience.’

Louis prepared for the secret of Paladin swordsmanship with his mind calmed down like that.

A visionary swordsmanship that the sun god incarnated as a human warrior and performed for the sake of humanity.

The auror blade blazed like flames from Louis’ body as he took up the Sun Sword Technique.

Wooooow!

Louis’ sword vibrated ringing with its name.

The auror blade was focused on his sword.

As soon as the preparations were finished Louis ran towards Zeke.

“Haaaaaaah!”

Paladin Sun Sword

Non-electric

Fiery Sword

Zeke took the form of the Dragon’s Rider as he watched Louis rushing towards him.

Dragon’s Sword Technique

Chapter 2 Section 2

Stabbing the ground

Zeke’s sword spun creating a powerful aura blade.

Wooooow!

Louis and Zeke collided at the same time.

As the swords clashed powerful waves of aura spread out in all directions.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!

Zeke and Louis’ Auror Blades clashed entangling each other.

Kookookookookook!

A strong pressure was pressing down on each other.

The solid ground that Zeke and Louis had stepped on cracked and burst under the pressure.

“Ugh!”

At that moment Zeke’s Aura Blade spun around and dug into Louis’s burning Aura Blade.

Louis was astonished at how dense Zeke’s aura was compared to his own.

‘That’s ridiculous! To a kid who isn’t even twenty years old yet…!’

Louis’s body was gradually pushed back.

He gritted his teeth and tried to hold on but he couldn’t handle the weight of Zeke’s Auror Blade.

“Kuaaaah!”

Eventually Zeke’s Auror Blade broke through Louis’ Sun Sword and pierced his shoulder.

Kkwuddudduk!

Louis’ left shoulder and forearm were roughly torn apart as if bitten by a huge beast.

Louis rolled backwards as if he was being kicked.

“Ugh. Ugh.”

His face turned pale as he realized that his arm was gone.

Zeke slowly approached Louis.

Cold sweat ran down Louis’ face.

He said to Zeke.

“Hoo. Hoo. Young Draker. I am the next Arch Paladin candidate. Do you think you will be safe after harming me?”

Then Zeke approached Louis grabbed his neck and said.

“Arc Paladin…”

Zeke said glaring at him with sharp eyes.

“The Arch Paladin I know was one who gave up everything and sacrificed his life for those in pain.”

“Cough!”

Louis groaned as Zeke’s grip on his neck tightened.

Louis grabbed Zeke’s wrist with his free hand.

“Save me…”

“This is the price you pay for treating the young Luvernes carelessly.”

The power of corruption was unleashed from Zeke’s hands.

“Ah ah ah ah!”

It was the first time that the power of corruption had been used on a living person.

Blisters began to appear on Louis’ body.

He was in agony unable to breathe properly and his whole body writhing.

“Kwaaah! Please save me…!”

Zeke looked down at Louis with cold eyes.

Louis’s breath did not stop until his entire body was necrotic rotting and decaying.

Lewis who was struggling in pain barely managed to catch his breath and his body completely melted away.

Zeke took Bahamut and turned around to head towards the Cardinal.

The cardinal looked at Zeke turned pale and trembled.

I was so scared that I didn’t even feel the pain of my knees breaking or the dagger stabbing into my shoulder.

Zeke sat on the rock in front of the cardinal.

“Cardinal Verdi.”

Zig already knew about Cardinal Verdi.

In his previous life Cardinal Verdi was one of the main culprits who joined hands with Abel and Howard Drake the current president of the Academy to start the Third Continental War.

His betrayal ultimately caused the Holy Kingdom to kneel under the banner of the Empire of Rom and many of its subjects suffered innocent sacrifices.

Cardinal Verdi came dragging his broken leg grabbed Sieg’s leg kissed his shoe and spoke desperately.

“Zeke Draker! God look upon you. Please have mercy on me. Please.”

Zeke glared at the cardinal with cold eyes.

“Have you shown such mercy to the children of Luverne?”

The cardinal’s lips were chapped.

He begged Zeke for mercy his hands trembling.

“Father please spare me. If you do the sect will pay an unimaginable price.”

“Where are the other Luverne blood relatives?”

At Zeke’s words the Cardinal trembled in fear and looked around.

Without hesitation Zeke pulled out his dagger and threw it.

The dagger was stuck in Cardinal Verdi’s thigh.

“Kkaaaak!”

Zeke stomped on the dagger with his foot thrusting the blade deeper.

Then the cardinal shouted in anger.

“I’ll tell you! Please! Stop it!”

Cardinal Verdi told of the location of the monastery where the Order of the Sun had held the Luverne clansmen.

Zeke remembered the place and asked the Cardinal again.

“What are you planning to do with the relics in the Holy Kingdom?”

Verdi tried to roll his eyes again.

Only when Zeke stabbed the dagger into his other leg did Verdi’s mouth open again.

“There is a legend that whoever holds the Holy Grail will gain the power of immortality! Just like the Dragon Slayer Terracan Draker!”

“This is the first time I’ve heard that Terracan Draker possesses immortal powers.”

The cardinal barely opened his mouth sweating profusely.

“There is another version of the Dragon Slayer legend that has been secretly passed down in the religious community. I saw it there.”

“Hmm. The legend of the dragon slayer that even Draker doesn’t know about.”

Zik remembered that the hermit in the story had said something similar.

The story of how Siegfried a free knight met Claudia Luverne and became an immortal knight through the power of the Holy Grail.

With that power Siegfried became the protagonist of the legend of the Dragon Slayer with a new name Terracan.

Zeke asked the Cardinal.

“What do you plan to do with the Holy Grail that grants immortality? Does the Pope want to become immortal?”

Then the cardinal shook his head.

“The Emperor of Rom wanted the Holy Grail.”

As Zig had expected Cardinal Verdi had betrayed the Holy Kingdom and was secretly forming relations with the Empire.

‘The Third Continental War didn’t just happen.’

Zeke looked down at the cardinal and said.

“The cardinal of the Holy Kingdom offers a holy relic to the Emperor of the Roman Empire. What an interesting scandal.”

The cardinal grabbed Zeke’s foot again and pleaded.

“Please… If you keep quiet about this Zeke Draker I will support you wholeheartedly. You will have a powerful patron in the Holy Kingdom!”

Zeke clicked his tongue as he looked at the cardinal.

“A corrupt priest is truly an ugly thing.”

Zeke grabbed his face and made him look back.

The children of Luverne freed from their chains and the girl of Luverne who was almost sacrificed to open the door looked at the cardinal with frightened expressions.

Zeke whispered to the cardinal.

“The moment you showed no mercy to those children your fate was sealed.”

With the power of corruption Zeke inflicted terrible pain and a humiliating death on the Cardinal.

“Keuh-uh-uh!”

The cardinal screamed as his entire body rotted away under the power of corruption.

It was the miserable end of a priest who greedily dreamed of power.

At that moment a girl from Luverne walked next to Zeke.
