A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 152



Episode 152

The undead army followed Gurav to the trap area set by Zig.

Ziggy unsummoned Gurav.

‘Good job Guraub.’

And immediately sent a signal to Richmond.

‘Richmond now.’

Then Richmond took out the skeleton he had hidden underground.

Ki-ki-ki-ki-ki!

Skeletons empowered by the power of the Blood and Madness Riders rose from the ground and scattered the ranks of the Skeleton Knights.

Kaaaaaaah!

The skeletons summoned by Richmond attacked the skeleton knights while swinging their crimson bone swords wildly.

Then the fallen castle of Arkrich began to shine.

Kookookookookook!

Archrich cast a black curse upon the skeletons of Richmond.

Then the skeletons’ movements gradually slowed down. Meanwhile the skeleton knights regrouped.

Zeke who had been observing the situation sent a signal to Richmond again.

‘Richmond! Now.’

Richmond ordered the skeletons to detonate their magic bombs.

The skeletons pulled out magic bombs from their bone armor and detonated them simultaneously.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwak!

Forty horsepower bombs exploded with a tremendous noise.

Kkwaddudduk!

Not only Richmond’s skeletons but also the skeleton knights were shattered.

But even in the midst of the explosion several Death Knights and Arch Lichs continued to advance unharmed.

The light of Arkrich’s castle began to shine again and the bones of the fallen skeleton knights began to fuse together returning to their original form.

‘That won’t do.’

Zeke sent a signal to the waiting dragon soldiers.

Then the dragon soldiers threw the fire giant’s breath potions they were holding.

Clang!

Right now neither Archlich nor Death Knight can stop it.

The skeleton knights also had no way to stop the flying potions since their bones were not fully fused.

Soon the potion bottle broke and the flame giant’s breath engulfed the undead army.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The skeleton knights who tried to rise again with the power of Arkrich had their bones completely burned and could not be restored and instead turned to ash and disappeared.

Among them only a few skeleton knights regained their original form and stepped forward through the flames holding swords and shields.

At that moment the ghost horse that Death Knight was riding took a deep breath and exhaled blue breath toward the flames.

Kuu …

The flames died down with a strange sound and the ghost horse’s blue breath.

The number of skeleton knights had dwindled but the Death Knight and Arch Lich entered the Crystal Caverns completely unscathed.

Richmond received Zeke’s signal and summoned the skeletons again.

Ki-ki-ki-ki-ki!

Forty crimson reinforced skeletons holding bone swords charged towards the undead army.

Kagagagagagak!

Reinforced skeletons and skeleton knights clashed.

The movements of the skeleton knights holding shields were so agile that it was hard to believe they were skeletons.

Kkwadduk!

I blocked the swords of the reinforced skeletons with my shield and swung my sword breaking their bone armor and shattering their skulls.

The skeleton knights who survived the flames were Blue Knights in their lifetime so they displayed incredible power even after becoming undead.

At the command of Zeke who had been watching the dragon soldiers hiding in various places helped the strengthened skeletons attack the skeleton knights.

Kkwadduk!

As the Dragon Tooth Soldiers joined in the Skeleton Knights began to fall back.

Then the Arch Lich next to the Death Knight flew into the air and looked around. He soon identified Richmond who was commanding the skeletons and flew towards him.

Kkaaaaaaah!

Darkness flowed out from the fallen castle of Archlich which flew up with a terrible roar.

“How dare you a Demi-Lich oppose me an Arch-Lich! Kneel down and swear allegiance to me immediately!”

Although Richmond was a demi-lich he was already a summon of Zeke and was classified as a lowly dragon so he was not affected by the Archlich’s orders.

“Ahhh! It’s Ark Richie! It’s scary!”

Richmond panicked and shouted at Arch Rich swinging his staff to create a defensive wall.

Then Arch Rich fired a barrage of magic at Richmond.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

Black fireballs poured out from the fallen castle.

Richmond blocked Arkrich’s attacks while squealing and swinging his staff imbued with the power of the Blood and Madness Rider.

Then Gurav appeared behind Richmond.

Grrrrrrr!

Gurav opened his mouth wide towards Arkrich and poured out venom.

Cheeeeek!

The venom-soaked robe melted away.

At that sight Arkrich’s jewel eyes sparkled.

『How dare you the lowly and filthy chimera…』

While Guraub and Richmond were dealing with Arkrich Sieg drew his Orichalcum sword and approached the Death Knight.

Having learned how to deal with demons during his fight with Aratasso Zeke first equipped himself with the Hersion and Agamemnon masks and took out the Holy Fire.

Then he swung a hammer of light at the Death Knight.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

A huge hammer of light struck the Death Knight.

But it was no use.

Kookookookook!

A black haze rose around Death Knight’s body blocking the hammer of light.

‘Is it like a shield?’

Soon the Death Knight came charging towards Zeke on his ghostly horse.

Doo doo doo doo doo!

As the distance closed the Death Knight swung his sword at Zeke from his ghostly horse.

Kkwaduk!

Zeke managed to block the strike with his sword but was pushed back by the impact.

At the same time the Death Knight leapt down from his ghostly horse and swung his sword downwards towards Zeke.

Shhhhh!

Zeke straightened his posture and performed the Agamemnon style golden sword technique.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

Even though it was just swords clashing the impact spread out to the surrounding area as if it was an explosion.

As Zeke stepped back the Death Knight charged straight ahead through the cloud of dust.

Phew!

The Death Knight freely wielded his huge black sword and shield and pressed forward against Zeke.

Zeke realized that the Death Knight’s swordsmanship was familiar to him.

‘A Death Knight uses Paladin swordsmanship?’

Death Knights are undead created from the souls of fallen knights.

As a result the knight ends up using the technology he had while alive.

Death Knight let out an ominous voice as he pushed Zeke away who was looking puzzled.

“You damned man who killed me. Remember my name. Luis Marchisio. I will kill you and cut off your head and offer it on the altar.”

Zeke was surprised to hear Death Knight’s words.

‘Is that the Paladin who almost killed the girl of Luverne?’

Zeke realized that the souls of Paladin Luis and Cardinal Verdi had been corrupted and became Death Knight and Arch Lich.

Then Richmond’s urgent voice was heard.

‘Kyaaak! Master please save me!’

Zeke turned his head and looked at Richmond who was dealing with Ark Rich.

‘Ark Lich on Death Knight….’

If this undead army had appeared in the kingdom it would have been classified as a national emergency disaster.

‘Kyaaaaah! Master I’m dying!’

Upon hearing Richmond’s call for help again Zeke hurled his torch at the Death Knight.

Whoosh whoosh!

The Holy Spirit created a wall of white flames.

In the meantime Zeke turned towards Archlich who was wielding the Orichalcum Sword and attacking Richmond.

Zigg aimed at Arkrich and swung his hammer of light.

Kwakwakwakwang!

Arkrich who was hit by the light’s hammer while unprepared fell from the air to the ground.

A black aura flowed out from the fallen Arkrich’s castle.

Zeke approached Archlich slowly sword in hand warily.

Archer opened his mouth as he looked at Zeke.

“The cursed one who led me to my death Zeke Draker I offer your soul as a sacrifice of loyalty to my master.”

“If you can try it.”

Cardinal Verdi who had become Archibald also seemed to have a deep grudge against Sieg.

Zeke raised the Blade of Purification.

A golden aura rose from his sword.

Arkrich flinched at the aura rising from Zeke’s sword.

Even though he was of a high level he was still an undead so he instinctively showed a negative reaction to the purifying power that Zeke displayed.

Arkrich muttered something as he reached out his hand flinching for a moment.

Soon a black aura flowed out from the fallen castle and seeped into the floor.

Kkwadduk!

Skeleton soldiers wearing old armor emerged from the ground.

The skeletons rushed towards Zeke.

Zeke swung the Blade of Purification without panicking.

Kkwaddudduk!

All the skeletons hit by the Blade of Purification were turned to ash and scattered.

But that wasn’t the end of it. Skeletons continued to emerge from the ground.

Zeke who was swinging his sword spoke to Richmond who was floating in the air thinking that there would be no end to this.

‘Richmond can’t you take those undead away?’

Richmond responded in bewilderment at those words.

‘Huh? Are you going to take it?’

‘I thought it might work since we’re both undead anyway.’

It was an idea he had never thought of before but Richmond thought about it carefully and then took a pocket out of his robe.

In the meantime Zeke and Archlich continued to kill and create skeletons.

Richmond took out small pieces of bone from his pocket raised his staff and chanted a spell. Then the pieces of bone turned a dark red color.

Richmond shouted as he threw the discolored bones at the skeletons.

“Take this you bastards!”

Then something strange happened. Crimson bone fragments scattered here and there and one by one they attached themselves to the body of the skeleton approaching Zeke.

Then suddenly the skeletons stopped in place making a strange noise.

Ki-ki-ki-ki!

Archlich breathed stronger magic into the skeletons he had summoned when they began to move strangely.

Yet the skeletons were not controlled.

“You lowly rich bastard! What have you done!”

The skeletons stood motionless for a moment then suddenly changed direction and turned backwards.

At the same time Richmond swung his cane.

“Cute bones! Follow me and I’ll turn you into a cooler bone!”

The crimson energy flowing from the staff seeped into the skeletons’ bodies.

Kkwadduk!

Then the skeletons which were just ordinary bones turned a dark red color and began to grow bone armor and bone swords.

There the skeleton had changed into bones that looked like reptiles.

Richmond shouted excitedly.

“Reptilian Skeleton Success!”

The reptilian skeletons that Richmond had transformed turned their weapons on the other skeletons that Ark Reach had created.

Archer shouted in anger.

“You lowly Lich! How dare you intercept my authority!”

Richmond ignored the Archlich’s anger and ordered the Reptilian skeletons to attack.

Doo doo doo doo!

Reptilian skeletons charged at each other with ferocity.

Crap!

The reptilian skeletons reinforced by Richmond were noticeably stronger than normal skeletons.

Zig asked Richmond who had brought up the subject but was surprised at the bigger harvest than he had expected.

‘I was hoping it would work out I’m surprised. How did you do it Richmond?’

‘That’s it. Since I became your summoned servant thanks to the dragon’s bones I thought it would be okay to attach the bones of dragon monsters to other skeletons so I tried it.’

Richmond who had spent his entire life dealing with monsters was showing off his talents in strange areas.

Zeke looked curiously at the reptilian skeleton which had an agility and great durability that was unusual for a skeleton.

‘A skeleton soldier that is much stronger than a normal skeleton. It may not be used openly but it seems like it would be very useful when used for a surprise attack.’

Anything that could be used to fight the enemy was a great weapon for him.

The Archlich retreated as its strength was pushed back by the appearance of the Reptilian Skeletons.

“Damn it! What are you guys doing! Kill that guy quickly!”

The skeleton knights who had been fighting against the dragons and Richmond’s reinforced skeletons ignored them and headed towards Zeke their eyes shining at Archlich’s command.

Kookookookookook!

The fallen castle of Arkrich glowed empowering the skeleton knights and skeletons.

Zeke ordered Richmond to deploy the skeleton unit forward and the dragon teeth unit at the rear and ordered Gurav to attack from a distance by shooting poison darts.

Grrrrr!

Gurav raised his huge body and spat poisonous darts at Arkrich.

Arkrich shouted stepping back into the air fearing his integrity would melt away.

He had managed to stay high and out of the Gurav’s venom but he couldn’t stay too far away to effectively control both the Skeleton Knights and the Skeletons.

『Kaaaaaaah! Louis! Where are you! Hurry up and stop these guys!』

The gurav spewing hydra venom was no joke.

Zeke smiled with satisfaction as he watched the battle between the skeleton army and the dragontooth soldier Gurav.

‘At this level we may be able to exert power greater than that of the Knights Templar.’

If we combined the power of the restored Guardians here it would be possible to unleash a force on the level of a legion.

Zeke alone was capable of assembling the strength of a one-man army.

That was when.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Death Knight bound by the flames of the Holy Fire has reappeared.

The ash-robed wizards who appeared late blocked the flames of the Holy Fire with magic and took out the Death Knights.

Kookookookook!

The eyes of the Death Knight freed from the flames of the Holy Fire burned red.
