A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 204



Episode 204

‘Stage 1 restrictions lifted?’

The message window appeared again in front of my eyes.

[Bahamut’s second power is unlocked with the first stage restriction lifted.]

[Acquire the power ‘Shadow Domination’.]

[Under the influence of the power ‘Shadow Domination’ the ability of the Dragon Tribe skill ‘Dragon Tooth Soldier’ ​​is strengthened and the skill level increases.]

[Yongrin Gap Dragon’s Claw Dragon’s Sense skill level increases to Expert.]

[The title ‘Yongin’ combines the skills of Yong’s Eye Dragon’s Dignity Yong’s Ring Dragon’s Claw and Dragon’s Sense.]

[The title ‘Yongin’ changes to the title ‘Yongjok’.]

[The ability to control the dragon species is further strengthened due to the influence of the title ‘Dragon Tribe’.]

[The dragon creature feels an instinctive fear of the user and assumes a posture of submission.]

[Due to the influence of the title ‘Dragon Tribe’ the Karma amount required to unlock Dragon Tribe skills is reduced by 20%.]

[The amount of spirit power required to increase the level of Dragon Clan skills is reduced due to the influence of the title ‘Dragon Clan’.]

Zeke read the message window and looked at his newly acquired powers and enhanced abilities.

“Power Shadow Domination? Bahamut’s second power… Then if the seal level is lowered I can obtain other powers as well.”

Zeke confirmed the information on shadow domination and limit breakthrough.

―Passive Skill Information―

Breaking Through the Limits: When you reach your limit you gain the insight to awaken your potential and overcome the wall.

―Power Information―

Shadow Mastery: You have mastery over shadows. You can contact them to read information or bind them.

“what?”

Zigg was shocked when he saw the explanation of the limit breakthrough.

The skill of giving you enlightenment when you reach your limit was an unheard of ability.

‘What kind of skills are these?’

If this information were true it would mean that Zeke could overcome the barrier of realm much more easily than others.

Anything that pushes you to the limit can be done with effort and will.

In his previous life Zig always pushed himself beyond his limits.

But overcoming that wall of limitations through enlightenment was a separate matter.

“This is awesome.”

For Zig who pushed boundaries as easily as eating this skill was more valuable than any chance.

It was as if the foundation had been laid for him to ascend to the realm of the Black Knight that he had longed for.

“I think I’ll have to try Shadow Domination to know for sure but it’s too bad I can’t try it right now. Since it’s Bahamut’s power this should be a good ability too.”

I didn’t really get what dominion over shadows was just by reading the description.

It seemed to be an ability linked to the spirit body as it affected the ability of the dragon’s teeth.

As he checked all the abilities a new message appeared before Zeke’s eyes again.

[The structure of the testing center will change.]

[Move from the 91st floor to the hidden stage corresponding to the 98th floor test.]

[As the difficulty is adjusted randomly a corresponding reward is given when passing the hidden stage.]

A portal leading to the third hidden stage opened.

‘If I get through this I’ll be able to get through to the 98th floor.’

The tip of the inverted tower was almost visible.

Zeke took a deep breath and entered the portal.

The third hidden stage that Zeke encountered a while later was a completely different scene from the previous ones.

“what’s this?”

The sky was tinged with purple and there were two blazing black suns.

The land was a dry wasteland and the plants that grew there were all squirming with thorny stems and grotesque appearances.

Then Arataso exclaimed in admiration.

[No how did you come to the Demon World?]

I hadn’t even taken the Uncheolgeom out of my inventory when I heard Arataso’s voice.

“Arataso can you hear me?”

[Yes I can hear it.]

As my spiritual power grew stronger it seemed like I could communicate more freely with Aratasou.

At the same time Arataso also seemed to be able to see the outside situation without having to take out his Untetsuken.

Zeke asked Arataso again.

“This is the Demon World?”

[No wait a minute… To be exact it’s not the Demon World but an environment similar to the Demon World.]

At Aratasso’s words Zeke was reminded of the castle of Agamemnon that he had purified.

The Agamemnon Castle and its surroundings which had been eroded by magic for a long time and had changed its environment had a similar atmosphere.

‘If it had been left as is Mycenae might have ended up like this.’

Zig looked distraught at the fact that Mycenae was about to turn into the gloomy landscape that unfolded before his eyes.

“By the way what should I do here?”

Zeke muttered and entered the oddly shaped bushes to explore the terrain.

Then the bushes with their thorny stems leapt forward to wrap themselves around Zig.

Zeke took out Bahamut and cut off the stem of the bush that was rushing towards him.

Kieek!

Black blood-like sap dripped from the cut stem.

Zeke began swinging his sword and cutting down the bush itself.

Krrrrrr!

The bush which was a plant but not a plant bled and died.

As the black sap on Bahamut fell to the ground a hissing sound was heard and black smoke rose up.

“Is it because the land has been eroded by magic? It’s terrible.”

At that moment the tower’s message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[The hidden stage begins.]

[Go to the castle and defeat the boss demon.]

[If you successfully clear a stage you will receive a corresponding reward.]

[You can unlock one of the skill restrictions by adjusting the difficulty. Choose the skill you want to unlock.]

“You can unlock one skill? How hard is it? Hmm….”

After much thought Zig decided to lift the limit on the infinite stamina skill.

[Removes the limit on the Infinite Stamina skill.]

As soon as the skill restriction was lifted Zeke felt his whole body become lighter.

“Whew it feels like I put down a lump of iron.”

Zigg felt once again how powerful the infinite stamina skill was.

With his infinite stamina restored Zeke was able to use Hersion and Soul Sealing techniques more easily.

“It’s important to become stronger with your own strength without skills but for now clearing the stage comes first.”

Zeke quickly climbed up the tree using his flying skills.

Clang!

The trees engulfed in magic stretched out their trunks to try and catch Zig.

Zeke leaped into the air faster than the pursuing tree trunks.

Wheeeeeek!

Zig jumped into the air and focused his eyes as much as possible to quickly scan the terrain.

Beyond the dense forest a castle covered with thorns was visible.

‘Is that where the boss is?’

Zeke descended from the air picked up Bahamut and struck down all the branches that tried to engulf him.

Kieek!

As expected the tree screamed dripping black sap.

Zeke slid down with his sword still planted in the tree.

Wood crunch!

The tree split with a loud noise.

Zeke ignored it and headed towards the castle he saw from the air entering the forest.

On the way into the forest tree trunks and bushes chased Zig from all sides trying to entangle him.

“You annoying guys.”

Zeke swung Bahamut around like he was chasing bugs knocking the stems down.

As we went deeper into the forest we felt suspicious signs here and there.

‘what?’

At one point black shadows began to move between the trees and then suddenly rushed towards Zig.

Kieeeek!

The demons that resembled monkeys attacked Zeke.

Whoosh!

Zeke stepped back and swung his sword at the demons.

Crunch!

Zeke swung Bahamut with minimal aura and instantly cut down the demons rushing in from all directions.

Kieeeek!

The demon that struck Bahamut screamed and retreated.

Zig calmly stepped forward and unleashed a powerful resonance.

Woohoo!

The demon who was running away from the strong resonance wave collapsed spitting out blood.

Zeke was able to subdue the demons with much less force than before.

“It definitely feels like there are a lot less useless actions.”

It was proof that he had reached the realm of true union of the divine and divine swords.

Zeke went deeper into the forest defeating the demons.

As you enter the forest the types of demons that attack you change.

This time a lion-like demon lunged at Zeke revealing its huge fangs.

Khuu …

A giant demon attacked but since it was already a battle with Balrog this demon looked like a cute cat.

Whirl!

After dodging the attack with a welcoming technique Zeke swung his sword at the demon’s side.

Boom!

Khuuuh!

As soon as Zeke’s blow hit him the demon writhed in pain and couldn’t move properly.

He took advantage of the gap and swung his sword cutting off the demon’s head.

Crunch-

The severed head of the demon turned into black ash and scattered.

In the place where the demons had disappeared magic stones had fallen like Balrogs. Zeke picked them up and put them in his inventory.

‘I can use it when I’m in a hurry.’

As we approached the castle larger and stronger demons appeared.

And then at some point a three-headed hellhound the size of a basilisk lunged at Zeke baring its teeth.

Krrrrrr!

Then Arataso who was sealed inside the Uncheolgeom was surprised.

[Wow it’s Cerberus. It’s hard to see it in the Demon World these days.]

“Do you know that demon?”

[A demon squirrel that was once raised by many high-ranking demons. It has the habit of following its owner well making it perfect for guarding its territory.]

Krrrrrr!

Cerberus lunged at Zeke baring his serrated teeth.

Kaaaak!

Zeke raised his sword and struck Cerberus’s teeth.

Kkwadduk!

The teeth on the left side of Cerberus’ head were shattered into pieces.

Wake up!

The bewildered demon stepped back.

After a while the guy’s broken tooth started growing back.

Cerberus opened his mouth wide as he sensed that Zeke’s sword was not ordinary.

Black flames rose from three mouths.

Kwakwakwakwa!

Cerberus poured black flames towards Zeke.

Whoosh whoosh!

Although it was not as powerful as the fire unleashed by the Tyrant the champion of Balrog the fire of magic was dangerous enough to burn one’s entire body if one let their guard down even for a moment.

Knowing that Zeke quickly retreated with a welcoming gesture and avoided Cerberus’ flames.

Then he stepped on the ground hard causing a strong resonance.

Wooooow!

As the area of ​​the wave expanded the blazing black flames died down.

Zeke leapt straight through the flames and swung his sword at Cerberus.

Infinite Chain was activated and a series of attacks using the Sun Sword and Golden Sword were launched.

Krrrr!

Cerberus stepped back trying to avoid Zeke’s sword strike.

But Zeke didn’t miss the moment.

Woohoo!

As the sword’s name rang out strongly Zig took the form of the Dragon’s Sword.

An aura blade rose from his sword sharper than before.

Dragon’s Sword Technique

Chapter 3 Section 2

Half moon flying

Bahamut unleashed a shower of crescent moons at Cerberus.

Papapapapat!

A bright crescent moon flew towards Cerberus.

Cerberus responded by pouring black flames towards the swordsman.

Kwakwakwakwa!

However the crescent sword created by Zeke cut through the flames and advanced towards Cerberus.

Crunch-

The crescent moon traced an orbit and cut off all three of Cerberus’ heads.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Cerberus’ head fell to the ground.

Kugu palace!

Cerberus whose body had fallen to the ground slowly turned into black ash and scattered.

In that place Cerberus’ magic stone and teeth remained.

“The tooth of Cerberus. Richmond would love it.”

After carefully collecting the by-products and preparing to move forward again Zig felt that the castle was getting closer.

Then Zeke heard someone fighting on the other side of the forest.

‘The sound of fighting? Are the demons fighting each other?’

Zig who summoned the will of ‘Eun’ with all his might hid his body and looked in the direction of the sound.

Surprisingly there was another human there besides Zeke.

“Come and look at this guy!”

The knight wearing armor of a type I had never seen before was surprisingly fighting the beasts with a net and a spear that looked like a harpoon.

The knight spread a net caught the demon and stabbed him with a spear immediately killing him.

The Minotaur-like demons were afraid of being caught in the knight’s net and were unable to approach any further only hesitating and increasing the distance between them.

As Zeke watched the article using a unique technique something suddenly occurred to him.

‘Could that be the article?’

As far as Zeke knew there was only one knight who fought in such a unique way.

‘Reyes the Fisherman’s Knight one of the Knights of the Clock Tower?’
