A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 205



Episode 205

“Chaha!”

The fisherman’s knight threw his net with all his might toward the demon.

Choaaaak!

The tightly woven net stretched out towards the demons and wrapped around their limbs moving as if it were alive.

Grrrrrr!

As the Minotaur-like creature fell into the net the Fisherman’s Knight leapt into the air and pierced the creature’s neck with his spear.

Phew!

The demon that was hit by the window turned to ash and scattered.

The fisherman’s knight collected the net and slung it over his shoulder.

Then he aimed his spear again glaring at the demon.

“You demonic bastards! Most honorable knight of Kronos! Do you think you can dodge the shining blade of Reyes!”

He raised his spear and raised his voice higher.

“Shining helmets and solid armor! A procession of sharp spears resembling scales! Behold! Moistening their throats with the blood of demons! The majesty of these brave knights who take their screams as a lullaby!”

Aratasso hearing Reyes’s scream spoke in a mocking voice.

[You don’t know much about rhyme but you’re just imitating. If it were me I’d match the rhyme of that sonnet a bit more and make it more sophisticated…]

‘Arataso stop talking nonsense.’

One of the knights of the clock tower the fisherman knight Reyes was a renowned minstrel and knight who formed a family with a spear.

The epics and sonnets of the heroic king which he is said to have recited were still popular among the middle nobility and knights.

Zeke studied him closely thinking that he had never thought he would ever hear the famous Reyes sonnets in person.

‘But is this really Reyes’ spirit? Who on earth built this tower that even the spirit of the clock tower knight remains there?’

If Reyes’ spirit remained it was possible that the spirits of the other clock tower knights also existed.

‘There might be the spirit of the hero Tyr. It’s a good thing. We can ask him directly about the shield which is presumed to be a holy relic.’

As I was organizing my thoughts and watching Reyes catch and kill the demons with a net I felt an ominous energy approaching me.

Arataso also felt the energy and opened his mouth first.

[This is the energy of the Touma tribe.]

Kookookookookung!

Something approached as if the forest was going to crumble.

Grrrrrrrr!

A giant demon resembling a snowman approached with a roar.

But what was surprising was that someone was riding on that horse.

A being holding a chain around the neck of a demon.

A strange being clad in solid black armor and with glowing red eyes beneath a helmet looked down at Reyes.

[How dare a human enter here? Are you looking for a place to die?]

Because the system translated the language of the demon world Zeke was able to understand what the demons were saying.

But Reyes didn’t seem to understand what the demon was saying.

He shouted swinging his net.

“You finally reveal yourself devil! Those eyes that seem to contain the flames of purgatory! How ominous! How blasphemous!”

At Reyes’ words the demon jumped down from above the demon’s head.

Kookung!

Zik held his breath and tried to gauge the level of the Touma tribe.

‘He’s strong. At least at the level of the Red Knight. If Arata is at that level what level is he among the demons?’

Then Arataso said as if it was nothing. When Zeke asked himself he answered in his mind as well.

‘That would make them relatively strong among the lower-level demons.’

Zeke frowned at Aratasso’s answer.

It was said that lower-level demons could come to the phenomenal world without being subject to karmic sanctions. This meant that when the gate opened hundreds and thousands of strong people of that level could pour out.

‘It’s surprising that they stopped those kinds of guys during the time of the King of Heroes and during the War of Liberation.’

The lower-level demon glared at Reyes and then quietly raised both hands to his chest.

Pachin!

A black blade protruded from his wrist.

He opened his mouth and glared at Reyes.

[Human subject you dare to defile this realm. Pay the price with death.]

In that moment the new form of the Demon Tribe disappeared leaving behind only an afterimage.

“Huh!”

Reyes opened the net he was carrying on his shoulder in surprise.

Clang! Clang!

The net was lowered and spread out wide.

Shhh!

The demon that was rushing forward leaving behind an afterimage stepped on the net and jumped upward.

Then he swung his sword in the air towards Reyes as if he was pressing down on him.

Boom!

The Demon’s sword and Reyes’ spear clashed sending out strong waves in all directions.

The armored demon stepped back with an extremely light movement.

Reyes’ expression as he held the spear was unusual.

Zeke noticed that Reyes was injured.

‘Is Arataso using that Demon Race’s strong wave resonance?’

Arataso snickered at Zeke’s question.

‘How could such a low-level demon use a strong wave resonance? It’s just imitating a throwing technique. Of course it’s of a higher level than something like an aura used by humans.’

I didn’t like the arrogant Arataso’s voice but since I couldn’t use the Holy Fire skill I had no choice but to leave it alone for now.

‘Is that level strong among the lower-level demons?’

‘Hmm well they’re the Tuma tribe. I guess that’s how it is. Among the demon tribe there are those who only use magic or sorcery depending on their race and as you go to higher levels there are many who use extraordinary techniques depending on their master’s power so it’s hard to categorize them as this or that.’

While Zeke was talking to Aratasso the demons were launching attacks on Reyes.

“Ugh!”

When Reyes tried to retreat Masu stood firm and blocked his movements.

Grrrrrr!

Zeke who had been watching Reyes being attacked from both sides stood up from his seat.

‘I’ll have to get a bodyguard but I guess I’ll have to get one first. It might help.’

Zeke pulled out Bahamut and charged at the demon beast the demon had brought.

Whee!

The sword imbued with aura passed through the demon’s leg.

Kwaaaaah!

The demon screamed in pain.

Zeke pulled the chain from his left arm and wrapped it around the demon’s other leg.

Kkwadduk!

The blocked demon struggled to break free from the chains but was unable to escape the soul sealing technique.

Kwaaaaak!

Zeke pulled the chain and pulled the demon’s body down.

“Chahaaaat!”

He took the form of the Dragon’s Slaughter Technique and swung his sword at the demon’s head.

Dragon’s Sword Technique

Chapter 7 Section 2

Stabbing the dragon’s head

A powerful sword strike pierced the demon’s head.

Kookung!

The demon fell down after being attacked unexpectedly.

Reyes was surprised to see Zeke suddenly appear.

“My goodness! Knight of Shatton! I knew you would come to my aid!”

Zeke was taken aback when he heard Reyes’ words.

‘Shatun? Did you mistake me for a blacksmith?’

Reyes approached Zeke and took a stance.

“Demons with blue blood! Behold the swords and spears of the shining knights! May nobility drive away the darkness that has fallen upon this land!”

Reyes circled the net and got into position to throw.

The demon who saw that sight looked at the fallen demon beast and then looked down at the two with cold eyes.

He took a step forward.

Then suddenly something popped out from behind the demon’s armor.

Pachin!

The four black blades moved like the legs of an insect.

Kookookookookook!

An ominous aura rose from the body of the demon who had drawn his blade.

It was an energy that seemed to be a mixture of magic and waves of magic.

At that moment Arataso said in surprise.

‘Huh? A six-horse fighting technique? It’s a technique that was used in the demon world but it still remains in the mortal world.’

Zig asked Aratasso’s words.

‘Do you know the technique Arataso?’

‘You could say that it’s a very difficult fighting technique for a low-level demon to use.’

Even before Arataso could finish speaking the demons moved first.

Phew!

The demons began to circle around Zeke and Reyes leaving afterimages even faster than before.

Phew!

The more the demons ran the faster their speed became. At one point Arataso shouted.

‘The Six-Way Fighting is a fast-paced fighting technique! If you don’t stop it now it will get even faster!’

After hearing Aratasso’s words Zeke stepped forward holding Bahamut.

Chorrrrrrrrrr!

At the same time a chain stretched out from Zeke’s left hand.

Whee!

Not only was he fast but the demon dodged the chains Zeke threw and ran towards him.

Phew!

In an instant four blades swung toward Zeke.

bang!

Zig stepped back raised his sword and used the strong wave resonance.

Wooooow!

The waves that arose from Zeke’s body shook the space and repelled the demon’s attacks.

Kkwaduk!

At the same time the demon’s black blade swiped past Bahamut’s sword face scraping it.

Then he turned and ran towards Reyes behind him.

Choaaaah!

Four blades faster than before struck Reyes.

Zeke saw the sight and jumped forward with a defeated expression on his face.

‘Damn it’s too late.’

Reyes then took a stance towards the demon that was rushing towards him. At the same time his armor began to flash with light.

Charrrrrr!

The surface of Reyes’ armor suddenly became like scales.

Shushu shushush!

Countless scales flew towards the approaching demon.

The demon who was running at incredible speed was unable to block the scale fragments shot from close range and was hit head-on.

Pavabababak!

He tried to block the scales with the four blades sprouting from his back and the blades sprouting from his arms but there were so many of them that he couldn’t block them all.

Sharp scales were embedded in the demon’s limbs.

[Kuaaah!]

The demon made a painful sound and staggered to the ground.

Immediately after Reyes ran straight in and threw a net towards the fallen demon.

Choaaaak!

The demon’s movements were restricted as the net wrapped around his body.

Reyes smiled with conversion.

“Got you!”

That was when.

The demon’s eyes glowed red.

Woohoo!

Zig felt an ominous wave rushing from the demon’s body.

‘It’s suicide.’

Zig hurriedly threw his sword at the fallen demon with the power of the strong wave resonance.

Wheeeeeek!

Bahamut was stabbed in the heart of the demon who was trying to blow himself up by causing his magic to go berserk.

Phew-

[Cough!]

The demon’s body sagged as blue blood flowed out. The rippling waves also gradually subsided.

Within moments the dead demon’s body turned to ashes.

“Phew.”

Thanks to the infinite stamina skill fatigue was much less.

Zeke exhaled once and walked towards Reyes.

“The Fisherman’s Knight. Reyes.”

Then Reyes took off his helmet.

A man with long hair and a beard.

Surprisingly Reyes looked very similar to the legend.

Reyes opened his arms and hugged Zeke.

“Shatton Draker! A noble knight! I thought you were a knight who knew honor.”

For some reason Reyes seemed to recognize Zeke as Shatton Draker.

‘Are you mistaking me for a swordsman because I use the True Dragon Sword?’

Reyes tapped Zeke on the shoulder smiled and took the net.

“Everyone felt like they had lost something after Caesar left. Even Tyr went back to Crete.”

After hearing Reyes’ words Zeke realized that the current situation was after the Hero King Kaisir left for the Fairy World.

Zeke decided to try to match Reyes’ rhythm.

“Reyes I came here because I was worried about you but why did you come here?”

Reyes said looking at Zeke.

“Someone has to come even if we’ve crossed swords with them.”

“What does that mean?”

“Dark elves. They were clearly our enemies. But that doesn’t mean it’s okay for them to become victims of the Demon Summoning.”

When Zeke heard Reyes’ words he was startled by the completely unexpected sound.

‘The dark elves are victims of the demon summoning?’

Zeke pretended not to know and asked Reyes again.

“That’s not wrong but… who summoned the demons by sacrificing them?”

At those words Reyes looked at Zeke with a strange expression on his face.

“Are you feeling okay today? You were the one who discovered that the dark elves were being sacrificed.”

It was something I had no idea about as a real Shatton.

Then Reyes gritted his teeth and said

“It’s something I don’t want to believe. Siemens even dabbled in forbidden magic and in the end he joined hands with the orcs to summon the demons.”

Reyes continued with a heavy expression.

“This is the price you will pay for ignoring Bahamut’s warning.”
