A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 174



Episode 174

Zick who came up from prison was lost in thought.

‘Coffee.’

Zeek didn’t really drink coffee because he mostly drank tea.

Although not as popular as tea drinking coffee has been trendy in cities recently.

However it was not something that everyone could enjoy. Since the coffee growing areas were limited the supply was insufficient compared to the demand so it was treated as a luxury item.

Proper coffee could only be enjoyed at famous hotels or restaurants.

‘There are limited places where coffee is produced.’

The place Dario saw in his memory must have been a coffee production area. It was not the kind of smell you would find in a city so it was hard to believe it was just a place that sold coffee.

Narrowing down the scope by a few criteria such as climate building style and coffee production area might allow us to pinpoint the location where Dario came into contact with the abyss.

It seems that we have found a clue to the true nature of the abyss that was hidden behind a veil.

“If it’s a coffee producing area it’s likely to be in the southern part of the empire or on the outskirts of the Holy Kingdom.”

I heard that they grow coffee in the Republic of Dorta these days but it didn’t feel like the atmosphere of the Republic of Dorta that Zig remembered seeing.

“Near the southwestern part of the Central Continent. The Abyss’ base will be there.”

Just as I was gathering my thoughts Boris and Visko came back from training.

Zeke called Boris.

“Boris right now towards the southwest of the continent….”

As he was giving instructions Zeke noticed something strange.

The dragonflies placed around the area sent out warning signals.

“The enemies are coming.”

At Zeke’s words Boris gestured to Bisko.

It was an unexpected situation but it wasn’t unexpected. I had to get out of here with Dario as I had planned.

Bisko and Boris brought Dario out of prison.

Zeke said drawing his sword.

“Stay in the bunker on the mountain while I lure you and when it’s quiet come out and go to Mycenae.”

“Okay boss.”

Boris and Visko didn’t hesitate and headed straight for the bunker with Dario.

Ziggy equipped Hersion and summoned Richmond.

“The enemies of Richmond are coming. Prepare.”

“Understood master.”

As Richmond swung his cane dark clouds suddenly gathered in the clear sky.

Kururururung!

It started to rain steadily with dark clouds and thunder and lightning.

Richmond summoned enhanced Reptilian Skeletons and Skeleton Dragoons.

While Richmond was preparing Zeke donned his transformation cloak and transformed into a death knight.

With Death Knights in Arkrich a perfect undead army was created.

Doo doo doo doo doo!

At that moment hundreds of knights were seen coming from afar on horseback.

Looking at the flags I saw that they were from Siemens.

Zeke who had transformed into a Death Knight spoke to Richmond.

“Impress Richmond’s enemies.”

Richmond floated into the air.

Kaaaaaaah!

He swung his staff with a monstrous roar.

Kwakwakwakwang!

A crimson lightning strike struck the center of the unit.

Heeeeeeeeeing!

The horses were startled and ran wild and the knights fell from their horses and rolled around in the mud.

The captain shouted.

“All hands! Form up! It’s the undead!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The reinforced skeletons and skeleton knights summoned by Richmond advanced towards the knights of Siemens with their eyes glowing ominously.

Siemens’ knights charged towards the undead army with their shields raised.

“Haaaah!”

Even well-trained soldiers could easily deal with a normal skeleton.

However the skeletons summoned by Richmond were strengthened by the power of the ‘Riders of Blood and Madness’ and the power of the dragon.

bang!

When they collided with each other contrary to expectations the knights not the skeletons were pushed back.

The knights stepped back in confusion.

“Chief something is strange!”

The captain shouted as he cut down the skeletons with his Aura Blade.

“You idiots! They’re just skeletons! Don’t back down and smash their heads with your sword!”

Although he said that the captain himself was barely able to deal with it with just his Aura Blade.

Although there were many Siemens knights their individual skills were relatively poor so they were having a hard time even with just the skeleton.

However the force was quickly disintegrated as Richmond rained down fireballs from the air and skeleton dragoons swept across the battlefield.

‘At this point I guess I don’t need to step forward.’

Zeke who was standing behind in the form of a Death Knight tried to sort out the situation and join Boris’ side.

That was when.

Doo doo doo doo doo!

Others were seen running from the side.

‘Was Siemens the advance team?’

Zeke sharpened his eyesight and scanned the approaching people.

The unit’s flag had an insignia I had never seen before on it.

‘A badge with a star on a scorpion. Could it be…?’

A cavalry unit carrying kite shields and spears. A typical appearance of the Imperial Knights.

Zeke realized that they were the Knights of Scorpio led by the Knight of Scorpio.

‘They say the Knights of the Scorpio Palace have a blood alliance with the Nostra Family. Who would have thought they would send reinforcements this quickly?’

The Siemens Knights were a bunch of savages so they could easily deal with the undead legions but the Imperial Knights were different.

In particular the knights belonging to the thirteen constellations were the elite of the imperial army.

The Scorpio Knights charged towards the undead army with spears in hand.

Kkwaddudduk!

Unlike the Siemens Knights the Scorpio Knights easily destroyed the reinforced skeletons with their spears and advanced.

Kieeeek!

Even when skeletons clung to them and pulled the knights off their horses they quickly regained their balance and drew their swords in response.

In the Imperial Army’s unique way he covered his body with a kite shield and calmly fought the undead with his sword.

As soon as the Scorpio Knights joined the flow of the battlefield completely changed.

‘What a headache.’

If I had gotten caught here I could have lost Dario.

We had to stop them somehow.

Zeke drew Bahamut and stepped forward.

thud!

As Zeke disguised as a Death Knight appeared the knights of the Scorpio Order put up shields and built a wall.

A knight who appeared to be the vice-captain slowly approached leading other knights from behind.

Zeke drew his sword and unleashed the Elemental Sword.

Hooooooooooooo!

A huge blast of wind burst out from Zig’s sword.

Kwakwakwakwa!

The knights of the Empire held their shields and withstood the storm swords. Meanwhile Zig leapt straight forward.

Kwakwakwang!

The sword imbued with golden power blew away all the shields of the imperial army.

The vice-captain shouted when he saw that sight.

“Everyone stay in line!”

The knights of the Empire stood in line their broken shields thrown away and their swords raised.

Soon auror blades shot out from their swords.

“charge!”

Choaaaah!

A dozen or so auror blades fell towards Zeke.

Surprisingly all the knights running towards Zeke were blue knights.

‘I guess it’s the thirteen zodiac signs.’

Zeke raised his sword and struck the flying Aura Blade.

Kkwadduk!

The knights who swung their swords were unable to overcome the force of the blow and rolled on the ground.

The knights of the empire who had not fallen slowly closed the distance while aiming their swords at Zeke.

‘You’re surprisingly well trained.’

They were much stronger than the knights of Morgan Buffon the Knights of the Four Armies.

Zig grabbed his sword and drew his spirits up.

Woof woof woof!

Blue flames flew from Zig’s body as he raised his firepower field.

He shouted his voice distorted and filled with energy.

“You arrogant humans. I will burn your souls with the fires of hell.”

It was Zeke imitating the voice and speech of a real Death Knight.

The vice-captain shouted as he sensed an ominous atmosphere.

“Get out of here!”

As Zeke thrust his sword into the ground blue flames spread out around it.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!

The Siemens knights who were unable to dodge in time were engulfed in the blue flames unleashed by Sieg and fell down reduced to ashes.

“Ugh!”

The Knights of Scorpio were able to escape the Blue Flame but they could not completely avoid injury.

The vice-captain who had grasped the situation shouted.

“Retreat! Retreat!”

As soon as the order to retreat was given the knights of the Scorpio Palace fell back.

Then the Siemens team leader who had been watching the situation from behind shouted in confusion.

“Hey you! What if you back off now?!”

As the Knights of Scorpio quickly retreated the skeletons charged at the Knights of Siemens again.

“Kwaaaaak!”

The Siemens Knights who had lost their will to resist were unilaterally slaughtered by the skeletons.

The knight commander who had been swearing from behind was also killed by the skeleton dragoon’s sword.

‘I think this is enough.’

After confirming that the Knights of the Scorpio had completely disappeared Zeke cleared the battlefield and tried to join Boris’ side. It was strange that they had retreated to that extent but now was the opportunity.

At that time the dragonflies placed around the area sent out a strong warning signal.

‘what?’

The summoning of the dragon soldiers was being canceled at an incredibly fast rate.

It was clear that someone was taking down the dragonfly in one fell swoop.

Zeke conveyed his will to Richmond.

‘Richmond! Something’s coming! Get your units ready!’

‘Understood master!’

As Richmond gave the order the scattered skeletons raised their shields and formed a battle line.

Zeke also held his sword and looked around cautiously.

Something was approaching quickly from beyond the forest.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!

Something appeared to be floating slightly above the ground almost as if gliding towards me.

Zig checked the silhouette of the person flying towards Yong-an.

‘child?’

A boy who looked to be in his teens at best flew towards the undead army with a strange smile.

The boy who came closer stretched out his hand.

“Blow it out!”

Kkwaddudduk!

In that moment the skeletons in that space were crushed and disintegrated as if they had been squeezed.

The boy who had approached the legion floated in the air and waved his hands here and there as if he was having fun.

At the boy’s gesture the skeletons floated into the air. Then they began to compress into a ball.

Kkwaddudduk!

The skeletons clumped together into a ball of bones.

The boy stood lightly on the ball he had made.

A boy wearing a suit and shorts.

At first glance he looked like a student from an upper-class aristocratic school.

Zeke realized that he was a person sent by the Nostra Family.

‘Are you a bloodline ability user?’

It was an extraordinary ability different from magic or swordsmanship.

The boy looked down at Zeke who had transformed into a Death Knight with a devilish smile.

“This is my first time with a Death Knight. I wonder if it’ll be fun to play with.”

At that moment the boy stretched out his finger.

bang!

There was a pop of air and then a blow to Zeke’s shoulder.

The boy pursed his lips and exclaimed in admiration at the sight.

“Oh so that’s a Death Knight? That’s interesting.”

The boy’s body rose again.

Then he started rolling the bone ball quickly as if he was playing ball rolling.

“Come on! Let’s go play somewhere!”

Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!

The bone ball began to spin furiously and race.

Kkwaddudduk!

The dead Siemens knights as well as other skeletons were sucked into the bone ball.

As the ball spun more and more corpses and skeletons were sucked in growing in size.

Before he knew it the ball had rolled all the way to Zeke.

Zig took up his sword and unleashed a field of golden power.

Kugugugugugugugu!

A sword strike imbued with powerful force struck the fiercely spinning ball.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

Unable to overcome the sword strike the ball exploded sending sharp bones flying in all directions.

The area around the boy’s body seemed to be covered with a protective shield with the bones not touching and all bouncing off.

The smiling boy’s face suddenly distorted as the bone ball disappeared due to Zeke’s attack.

He glared at Zeke while floating in the air.

“How dare you little monster break my toy?”

Kookookookookook!

A powerful energy arose around the boy’s body.

Ddddddddd!

The ground around them split open and a whirlpool swept through.

Richmond who was floating in the air panicked as he sensed an ominous energy.

‘My lord! There’s something strange about that guy.’

Richmond too seemed to sense that the power the boy was using was foreign.

‘Is it possible to exert this kind of power with just bloodline abilities?’

I don’t know what kind of experiment the Nostra Family used to enhance the boy but it certainly didn’t seem like a normal method.

The longer a battle dragged on against an enemy using unknown powers the more disadvantageous it became.

Zeke stepped forward in front of the boy holding his sword.

“Those who stand before the legions of death will be given only eternal suffering.”

At those words the boy shouted with a crooked smile and a frown.

“You fucking monster! Stop talking nonsense and come here! I’ll completely smash your skull!”
