A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 199



Episode 199

Zeke was rather surprised to see the dark elf’s reaction.

‘Don’t you know that two thousand years have passed? Is the flow of time different here?’

Zeke asked the dark elf warrior again.

“I came to this ‘Upside-down Tower’ to undergo Tyr’s test. Why are you here?”

The dark elf warrior who stepped forward at Zeke’s words raised his deformed sword again.

[You were one of Tir’s servants! You are persistent and tenacious! I will cut off your head and send it to Tir’s camp!]

Although the system was interpreting the language it did not make any sense.

‘These guys are as aggressive as orcs.’

The dark elves again took up their deformed swords and slowly circled around Zeke.

They formed a formation and rushed towards Zig at once.

Sasa sasa sak!

From all directions strangely shaped swords that twisted like snakes flew in.

Zeke parried the deformed sword with his shield and charged towards the nearest one.

Boom!

One of them was hit by a shield and went flying crashing into a wall.

Zeke didn’t stop but stepped on the welcome step made a sharp turn and swung his sword at the others.

Boom!

The dark elf’s deformed sword was repelled by the power contained in Zeke’s sword.

Zeke just extended Bahamut’s length.

Choaaaak!

The dark elf who had never expected the sword to grow long had his heart pierced by Bahamut.

Ss …

Zeke calmly upset the balance of the passers-by and dealt with the dark elves.

‘As skilled in combined attacks as the green warriors who summoned Aratasso.’

The green warriors read each other’s thoughts and moved as if they were one body.

On the other hand the dark elves put pressure on Zeke by showing off their skills that had been honed through countless training sessions.

Zeke took his time calmly parrying their attacks and waiting for an opening.

Clang!

When repeated attacks failed to penetrate Zeke’s sturdy defenses one of the dark elf warriors sent a signal.

Beep!

Then something flew from the air.

‘Is that… a wyvern?’

It looked like a wyvern but it seemed a bit smaller than a typical wyvern.

Upon closer inspection I saw a dark elf sitting on top of a wyvern flying through the air.

The dark elf warrior rode a wyvern and hurled his spear at Zeke.

Wheeeeeek!

Zeke quickly ran raising his shield up to avoid the spears falling from the air.

A spear fell from the sky and landed squarely on the shield Zeke was holding.

Kwakwakwakwang!

As soon as the spear touched the shield a huge explosion occurred.

“Ugh!”

Zeke rolled on the floor from the unexpected explosion.

[The shield’s durability has dropped below 60%.]

Durability was reduced by more than 30% with one javelin throw.

‘shit!’

It took time to repair the shield. But there was no time to repair the shield in the midst of fierce battle.

Then another spear fell from the air towards Zeke.

Kwakwakwakwang!

A well-placed spear was more effective than a randomly dropped spell.

Kwakwakwakwang!

Eventually the shield broke after receiving repeated shocks.

Zig took out the scabbard he had been holding for a long time unfolded it formed the shape of a shield and consumed the potion he had placed in the slot.

There was a healing potion a stamina potion and a ‘sky potion’ that increased agility.

“Hoo!”

Zig took a deep breath then looked at the falling spear again and raised his sword.

Shoooooooo!

Zig leapt into the air towards the falling window.

“Haaaah!”

Riding the wind with his whirlwind Zigg deflected the incoming javelins with his sword and returned them to their original position.

Then the spear changed direction and flew towards where the wyvern was.

Kwakwakwakwa!

As the javelin flew towards him the wyvern made a sharp turn to evade it.

At that moment something flew next to the wyvern.

Crunch-

The crescent moon of the sword that Zeke had swung tore off the wyvern’s wing.

Kiiiiiiii!

The wyvern screamed lost its balance and fell to the ground.

Kwakwakwakwang!

The wyvern as well as the dark elf warrior above it fell to the ground.

[Ugh!]

A dark elf warrior crawled out from under the fallen wyvern dragging his broken leg across the ground.

But there was already someone standing in front of the dark elf warrior.

[This human!]

Zeke looked at the dark elf warrior crawling out with cold eyes.

The dark elf warrior pulled a dagger from his bosom and attempted to cut off Zeke’s ankle.

Phew!

But Zeke easily dodged the dagger and stabbed the dark elf warrior in the back.

Ss …

The dark elf warrior and even the wyvern were turned to ash and disappeared.

Zik picked up the spear that was left there.

It looked like an ordinary window on the outside but I was curious about how it caused an explosion.

Zig put the spear in his inventory and hid himself among the nearby cover watching the movements of the other dark elves.

But I couldn’t feel any movement.

‘Did he run away?’

Zeke hid away from the broken city and went to another hiding place he had found beforehand.

He had wounds all over his body from being caught in the blast of a javelin.

Zeke took out a potion applied it to his wounds and drank the rest to replenish his stamina.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve had a scar on my body.”

In my previous life this was a daily occurrence.

Healing was available but he didn’t have any abilities like healing factor so his face and body were covered in wounds until he had the luxury of using healing.

While reminiscing about the past and chewing on some beef jerky to replenish his stamina a message window suddenly appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[The realm of dedication was impressed by the target’s performance.]

[Freeing the souls of the remaining Dark Elf Warriors will grant additional rewards.]

[Number of Dark Elf Warriors Remaining: 13]

‘What is this?’

Zeke tilted his head as he checked the message that had appeared. It felt like the upside-down tower was urging Zeke to be more active.

‘Orcs too. This place was definitely created with the intention of training someone. Who on earth was this place created to train?’

It was clear that the purpose was training but the scale of the labyrinth was too large to be considered as being made solely for training purposes and the monsters were far too realistic.

Zig stopped thinking there and stood up holding his sword as he looked at the number of dark elf warriors that appeared in the message window.

‘Once you complete the quest you’ll know what this place is all about.’

He took up Golin’s shield and tried to find the remaining dark elf warriors while keeping a low profile.

But then I heard a sound from far away.

‘what?’

A mournful sound echoed throughout the empty city streets.

Zeke squinted his eyes to see where the sound was coming from.

Someone was standing on top of the building blowing a stick-like flute with his mouth. A mournful sound flowed out of the flute.

‘I don’t know what you’re doing but why are you exposing your location so blatantly? Is this a trap?’

Although he looked puzzled Zeke slowly approached Inyoung who was playing the instrument while holding a sword.

But strangely enough the strength gradually left Zeke’s body.

At the same time as his body relaxed Zeke began to follow the mournful sound with a blank look in his eyes.

Woof woof woof!

The strange energy emanating from the stick drew Zeke in.

Within moments Zeke’s eyes lost focus.

He walked slowly to where the sound was leading him to the place where the playing was taking place.

Then following the command given through the performance Zeke stopped in front of the building.

Then dark elves who had been hiding here and there appeared.

Among them one person jumped out and swung his sword straight at Zeke.

Pachin!

However the person who had been playing on top of the building suddenly appeared and stopped the attack.

The dark elf warrior whose attack was blocked threw off his mask and shouted.

[Captain! We must kill that human immediately!]

The dark elf warrior’s face was revealed to be missing one eye and covered in burns and scars all over his face.

Then the captain said to the one-eyed warrior.

[If that human is really someone sent by Tyr’s camp we should interrogate him and get information.]

The one-eyed warrior gritted his teeth as he glared at Zeke who was standing there blankly with a deep hatred for humans.

But in the end he listened to the captain’s words and stepped back. The captain also took off his mask and revealed his face.

She had a beautiful appearance similar to an elf but her skin was dark brown.

The captain asked Zeke.

[Is it really true that Tir sent you?]

Then Zig who had lost focus shook his head.

The captain asked again.

[Tell me what the current situation is going on outside.]

Zeke stood there silently. The captain approached Zeke and spoke again.

[Ordered to report the situation on the battlefield in detail.]

That was when.

Whoosh!

In an instant Zeke’s hand wrapped around the dark elf captain’s neck.

In an instant he held the dagger to her neck and took the dark elf captain hostage.

The other dark elves aimed their arrows at Zeke.

The one-eyed warrior shouted at Zeke.

[You damned human! How can you be in your right mind?]

When he first encountered the dark elf Zigg suffered a mental attack and had prepared a potion that was effective against curses.

Zeke did not answer but grabbed the dark elf captain’s leash and spoke.

“Hey Dark Elf. Do you think this is the era of the King of Heroes?”

At those words the dark elf captain slowly opened his mouth.

[What does the era of the King of Heroes mean?]

“King Hero Caesar.”

The dark elf captain answered Zeke’s words.

[Kaisir what do you mean by that cursed war machine being the King of Heroes?]

Zeke was also confused by the dark elf captain’s words.

‘Master Kaisir is a weapon of war?’

The Caesar he saw was eccentric and had a bad temper but he did not display a cruel nature that could be called a weapon of war.

Moreover if you listen to his life story you will see that he mostly tried to hold back from using force as much as possible and only used force when he had no choice.

Zeke spoke to the dark elves.

“It is now two thousand years since the time when the heroic king Kaisir and the valiant knight Tyr were active.”

The captain and the other warriors were startled by Zeke’s words.

Only the one-eyed dark elf glared at Zeke gnashing his teeth.

[You fools! Wake up! That wicked human is wagging his tongue to pollute our minds right now!]

It seemed as if he was filled with hatred towards humanity to the core.

That was when.

Wheeeeeek!

At the sound of the captain’s whistle Zig felt his body paralyzed for a moment.

‘Is the potion’s effect already fading away?’

At that moment the dark elf captain spun around and struck Zeke in the temple with his elbow.

Crunch!

Zig barely managed to come to his senses and block the attack. As soon as the captain stepped aside the one-eyed warrior screamed.

[Shoot!]

Dozens of arrows flew towards Zig.

Shushu shushuk!

Zeke ducked and rolled on the floor his vision obscured by a cloud of dust.

The dark elves poured more arrows into the dust cloud.

Zigg’s figure was not visible because of the thick cloud of dust that had risen.

[Cease fire!]

As the cross-eyed warrior gestured one of the warriors slowly stepped forward holding a deformed sword.

It was to confirm Zeke’s death.

That was when.

[Cough!]

A hand wrapped in solid armor grabbed the warrior’s neck.

Zigg quickly activated Hersion and deflected all the arrows.

The dark elf warrior swung his sword at Zeke even though his throat was still grabbed.

Pachin!

The deformed sword bounced off Hersion without piercing him.

Zeke tightened his grip on the warrior’s neck.

Wood crunch!

The dark elf warrior died with his neck broken.

Bam!

The body of the dark elf warrior whose neck was broken and who died was reduced to ash.

Zeke’s eyes flashed inside the helmet.

“There are twelve left now.”

There was now a limit to the amount of time that the Hersion could be worn.

Zeke held Bahamut and ran straight towards the captain.

Pachin!

Zeke’s sword was blocked by a cross-eyed warrior who appeared in the middle instead of the captain.

[Human! I’ll skin you and use you as a flag!]

Zeke swung his sword at the one-eyed warrior.

Quaching!

Since the Auror Blade consumed a lot of stamina and mana he had to refrain from using it as much as possible so he fought the dark elves mainly with swordsmanship.

Zig stepped forward and performed the True Dragon Sword Technique.

bang!

The cross-eyed warrior stepped back his face turning white for a moment.

She said trembling.

[That damn thing…!]

Surprisingly she knew Shatton Draker’s swordsmanship.

She shouted at Zeke.

[You! What does that have to do with the Black Star?]

Zeke didn’t answer but ran straight towards the cross-eyed warrior and used his dragon killing technique.

Dragon’s Sword Technique

Chapter 6 Section 1

Dragon Heart Slash

Bahamut imbued with the power of the true dragon charged fiercely toward the heart of the one-eyed warrior.
