A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 208



Episode 208

Pavabavabat!

The sword strikes that contained the full force of his spirit exploded in all directions ripping holes through the Blood Golem’s body.

The Blood Golem’s body shook as if the sword fragments had pierced its core and its body flowed out.

Wow!

The blood golem transformed into a sticky mass of gore melted and lost its shape.

The fragments of the sword strike that Zeke fired passed through the blood golem and flew all the way to Garin who was using blood magic.

Pavababak!

The will to bomb broke through the blood magic circle and entered Garin’s body.

[Ugh!]

Garin who was preparing a new magic spell by occasionally giving strength to the Blood Golem was unable to avoid the sword strike and had holes made in his arms and legs.

However Garin did not stop casting the spell and eventually completed the magic.

Zeke took a deep breath and turned his gaze to completely destroy the blood golem first.

However the Blood Golem had already been absorbed into Garin taking the form of a puddle of blood just like when Garin first summoned it.

Woohoo!

Just as Zeke was thinking about stopping it a mixture of blood flesh and bones rose out of the blood-red magic circle.

Soon a knight in red armor appeared on the spot riding a horse clad in similar armor emitting an ominous aura.

Aratasso let out a gasp.

‘Blood Knight! To see the cursed knights of Blood Keep again!’

The Blood Knight came forward carrying a long spear and shield.

His armor and shield were engraved with runes that radiated auras of evil.

‘There is a mountain beyond a mountain.’

Zig quickly absorbed the magic stone and restored his mana.

He aimed his sword at the Blood Knight and unleashed the power of purification.

A golden aura spread out into the distance.

Tsk tsk tsk―

At the same time a red aura rose up around the Blood Knight. Then the red aura blocked the power of purification and protected Garin behind him.

Seeing that sight Zig loaded the waves of the strong resonance into the aura of purification.

Woohoo!

The golden aura shook trying to disperse the Blood Knight’s energy.

Then Garin who was behind him started reciting the spell again.

Parts parts parts—

Then this time a red fog rose from Garin’s shadow.

Gradually the red fog spread thinly and small red bats emerged from within it.

Kirik!

Dozens of bats flew toward Zeke obscuring his vision.

“Cha-ha-ha!”

Zeke calmly expanded the range of his aura and annihilated the bats sent by Garin.

At that moment the Blood Knight who had been waiting for an opportunity charged towards Zeke on horseback.

Kwakwakwakwa!

The cursed runes embedded in the armor glowed with a strange light and resisted the aura created by Zigg.

Blood Knight who had overcome the aura of purification to some extent swung a spear covered in red energy towards Zeke.

Pachin!

Zeke swung Bahamut and blocked the Blood Knight’s spear.

Hoong! Hoong! Hoong!

The spear that the Blood Knight swung was quite heavy.

Moreover as the attack continued the speed of the spear flying towards Zigg increased and its weight increased.

Zeke counterattacked grabbing Bahamut with both hands and shedding the Blood Knight’s spear.

Phew!

Blood Knight’s spear penetrated Zeke’s counterattack first.

bang!

There was a huge clashing sound as the sword and spear clashed.

Zeke stepped back and caught his breath.

‘If you push through with force it will be the same as before. Become one with the sword and read the flow.’

Zeke decided to trust in the territory he had pioneered.

‘Release the mana-consuming Hersion and focus on the sword.’

Clang!

Zeke who returned naked took hold of Bahamut and aimed it at the Blood Knight.

His new body soon began to move shaking back and forth leaving an afterimage.

Shushu shuk!

Zig dodged the spear with a welcome gesture and then unleashed his infinite chain rotation attack again.

Papat!

Zeke’s sword struck the horse’s flank.

bang!

Even Blood Knight’s body staggered under Zeke’s attack.

He ran forward without missing the flow stepping on the ground and performing a strong wave resonance.

Woohoo!

A powerful wave passed through Blood Knight’s body.

[Crrrrr!]

For the first time there was a reaction from the Blood Knight.

With momentum Zeke unleashed a whirlwind towards the Blood Knight.

Application of the dragon killing method

The wind chime

Teaching the atmosphere

Zeke’s sword cut through the air along with the aura emitted by the Blood Knight.

Break!

Even without using his Auror Blade Zeke’s sword strike split the Blood Knight’s armor.

Zeke realized that he was reaching a new level of swordsmanship.

‘The Aura Blade is merely a manifestation of the energy within the body. What is truly important is the will of the sword itself.’

Woohoo!

Zeke’s sword cried out its name.

He stepped forward again.

Garin who was behind shouted at Blood Knight.

[Kill that bastard quickly!]

At his command a stream of blood-red energy poured out from the Blood Knight’s armor.

Kwakwakwakwa!

The energy wrapped around the Blood Knight’s spear.

The Death Cavalry charged towards Zigg carrying bloody aura.

A red spear filled with compressed energy was swung towards Zigg.

At that moment in Zeke’s eyes the Blood Knight’s spear appeared to be flying very slowly.

‘what?’

Everything in the world seemed slow.

Zeke could feel everything including the Blood Knight’s spear his breathing the movement of his horse and even the flow of air.

Zeke moved his sword in accordance with the flow.

Crunch-

The Blood Knight’s spear was cut down by Zeke’s sword so easily.

Blood Knight roared and charged nonstop toward Zeke.

Zeke jumped up spun around and slashed the Blood Knight’s head vertically.

Choaack!

The head of the Blood Knight wearing a helmet was split in half.

Bam!

Blood Knight dropped the spear he was holding.

Then soon his body turned into red liquid and chunks of flesh and bones and fell apart.

Zeke unleashed his power of purification towards the broken Blood Knight.

Cheeeeek!

Blood Knights exposed to the power of purification turned to black ash and disappeared.

Where the Blood Knight had been only an ominous aura emanating from the armor remained.

Zig turned around and approached Garin. Garin raised a red fog again.

Phew!

This time Zeke swung his sword and cut through the red fog.

It was cut down with only the will to cut through the fog that had no substance.

[How dare you me a noble royal vampire race approach a human subject….]

Zik ran forward without listening to Garin any longer.

A red light appeared in Garin’s eyes as if he was about to make a final desperate attempt.

Kookookookookook!

The red mists that spewed out from his body swirled and gathered in one direction.

They took one form and transformed into a giant spear.

Garin threw a red spear at Zig.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!

The red spear rotated and flew towards Zig.

Zeke calmly took the form of the Dragon’s Slaughter Technique.

Then he put his will into his sword and unleashed the True Dragon Sword.

True Dragon Sword Art

One-stop service

Sun and Moon Slaughter

Zeke’s sword cut down the red spear flying towards him.

Crunch-

Even though it was virtually formless the red spear was split in half.

Garin shouted in disbelief.

[Tongue blood magic! That’s ridiculous….]

And at that moment Garin noticed something strange.

[Ugh.]

Small cracks began to appear on his body.

Garin reached out his hand towards Zig.

[Oh no!]

The Sun and Moon Slash not only cut down the Red Spear but also the Garin that held it up.

Thud thud thud!

Garin’s body cracked and collapsed.

Tsk tsk tsk―

Garin’s collapsed body gave off red smoke and then scattered into ash.

But Zeke didn’t stop there.

He swung Bahamut without stopping.

As Zeke swung his sword in a state of trance something like a mist rose from his sword.

Zeke was able to see a new side of the world he had never seen before.

‘This is what I didn’t see.’

At some point Zeke stopped swinging his sword.

The feeling of holding and swinging a sword was different than before.

‘A realm where you can wield a sword with will alone surpassing the realm of the Aura Blade. You have grasped the clue to the Astral Sword.’

At the end of the Red Knight era Zeke was now on the verge of becoming a true Black Knight.

A black knight of which there are only eight in the entire continent.

At only nineteen years old Zeke had almost reached the realm of the Black Knight.

Zig calmly collected his thoughts and took a deep breath. After taking off his sword he looked at the spot where Garin had disappeared.

Among the scattered ashes was the ornate dagger he had been carrying.

Zeke took Garin’s dagger and the Blood Knight’s armor.

‘If I hadn’t come to my senses during the battle I might have been defeated.’

At that moment a message appeared before my eyes.

[You have perfectly cleared the third hidden stage.]

[The realm of dedication is amazed by the subject’s incredible abilities.]

[Rewards are given based on successful stage clearing.]

[Reward is being determined.]

[The reward will be delivered to the recipient.]

The message disappeared and three random boxes were placed in front of Zig.

Two of them were glowing golden while the other one was glowing a strange color.

‘What is this? It’s multi-colored like a rainbow?’

The message came back again.

[10000 experience points will be awarded as a reward for surviving the third hidden stage.]

[As a reward for clearing the hidden stage with incredible skills you will be given two special random boxes and a non-ranked random box.]

“Out of grade?”

Zeke slowly approached the box.

First I opened two special random boxes.

This time too when I opened the box golden light poured out.

Zeke checked the artifact inside the box.

“A medal and… is this a book?”

Zeke checked the information on the medal and book from the special random box as well as the Garin’s dagger and Blood Knight’s armor that he had collected earlier.

-Armor Information-

Special: If worn by a living person it will cause a curse.

-Dagger Information-

―Medal Information―

―Book Information―

Description: Ancient Bloodline Magic Book

Unique Ability: Blood Magic Inheritance

Special: An ancient book of blood magic that is secretly passed down only to royal vampires and cast through blood. (Only vampires can learn it)

Zig let out a gasp when he saw the artifact information.

“It’s an artifact that contains the power of the Royal Vampire. It’s incredible.”

The value of these artifacts was felt even more deeply when Zeke himself faced Garin and personally felt how strong the Royal Vampires were.

Zeke who had been exclaiming in admiration looked back at the items to organize them and then made a regretful expression when he saw the Blood Magic Book.

“Blood magic. It must be incredibly powerful but it’s a shame that only vampires can learn it. I’ll have to store it away for now and use it later.”

It seemed like the Blood Knight’s armor could be given to Richmond to study later.

Zeke examined the Royal Vampire’s medallion and dagger.

“The dagger can summon a blood golem… and the medal can cast the blood realm so does that mean it can summon the red fog that guy used earlier?”

The red fog which allowed for both defense and attack at the same time was quite useful.

Zeke put on the medal and tried casting a skill.

Tsk tsk tsk―

Red fog rose from Zeke’s body.

Zeke looked at it and gave various instructions in his head. The fog moved naturally according to his will.

Zeke looked satisfied.

“It consumes quite a lot of mana but it can be useful in battle.”

After putting all the other artifacts into his inventory Zeke stood in front of the last box.

Zig looked nervous as he looked at the random box with its surface shimmering in rainbow colors.

There were some amazing artifacts that came out of the special random boxes but since they were labeled as ‘out of grade’ I couldn’t imagine what they would be.

Zeke opened the box carefully.

A rainbow of colors emanated from inside the box.

“Ugh.”

The light was so bright that Zig could hardly open his eyes.

[Opened a random box outside of the rank.]

[You will receive 500 Karma Points as an achievement reward.]

You could earn karma points just by opening random boxes outside of the rank.

As the light faded Zig could see the artifact inside the box.

What was inside the box was surprisingly ordinary.

“ring?”

Inside the random box outside of the grade was none other than a crude brass ring.

Zeke picked up the ring and examined its shape.

The ring was engraved with a unique seal: a star-shaped seal with overlapping triangles.

At that moment a message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[You have acquired the legendary item ‘Solomon’s Ring’.]
