A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 217



Episode 217

‘Is that the island of the sea god?’

The island that was confirmed after passing through the whirlpool was quite large but the entire surrounding area was covered in fog giving it a gloomy feeling.

Zeke spoke to the captain and had him pull the ship towards the shore.

The captain trembling with fear muttered a prayer and steered the boat closer to the island.

When the ship anchored off the coast Zeke ordered Nahuel to guard the ship.

“If you feel something strange while guarding you should run away immediately.”

Woof woof woof!

Zeke got out of the small boat and went to the island with his companions.

Choaaaak!

Even though it was right in front of the island the waves were rougher than expected.

When the boat finally reached the island Zeke got off on the sandy beach and looked around.

‘The atmosphere is as gloomy as it looks from outside.’

It wasn’t as bad as the demon realm I had seen from the Upside Down Tower but the fog that filled the area felt like it was weighing down my body.

At that time something caught my attention.

Gurruruk!

Black shadows suddenly appeared from the forest behind the sandy beach.

Zeke shouted to his companions.

“The enemy! Everyone prepare for battle!”

Zig and his companions drew their weapons.

After a while something jumped out of the forest.

Krrrr!

A spider monster approached moving its eight long huge legs.

“Eww what is that?”

Felix hesitated at the sight of the creepy spider monsters then took a hit from Clone and regained his composure.

Spider monsters quickly surrounded Zigg and his party.

Zeke held Bahamut and watched the spider monsters’ movements.

‘It’s a giant spider. It’s not a monster you see often… but this is the first time I’ve seen so many of them.’

It was a high-level monster that could only be seen occasionally when entering the deep waters of the Forest of the Forgotten.

They were clever creatures who had a tough epidermis covering their bodies like armor and could capture their targets with the silk they spewed out before taking them to their nests and using them as food for a long time.

‘Those guys were definitely weak to fire.’

Zeke recalled his memories from his past life and used a field of fire power to create flames.

Hurrrururuk

As flames rose around Zeke and his party the spiders retreated.

Keeeeek!

But that was only for a moment as the monsters got excited by the prey they had found after a long time and tried to pounce on it through the flames.

Jjajajak!

A large spider charged into the fire relying solely on its sturdy armor.

Then Zeke concentrated his elemental power and changed the quality of the flames.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The pure fire that burns everything white flame melted the hardened epidermis and instantly reduced the spider to ash.

Keeeeek!

The spider screamed and disappeared.

As one of their companions burst into flames and disappeared the other spiders suppressed their instincts and retreated.

They were smart guys so they had excellent learning abilities.

Still the spiders stood back and watched Zeke and his group waiting for the fire to go out.

‘They’re persistent.’

Since he couldn’t maintain pure fire forever Zeke also had to find a way.

He turned on the map and searched for a suitable place to set up base camp.

‘Is it some kind of special fog? The terrain features aren’t displayed properly on the map.’

I had no choice but to go and see it for myself.

Zig thought of a plan and told his companions.

“As you can see they are weak to fire. I will put a holy fire on each of your weapons so stick close to them as much as possible and aim for the lower part of their stomach. That is their weak point.”

Ziggy activated his special skill Holy Fire.

Then a holy fire rose from Zeke’s black and the weapons of his companions.

“What is this my lord?”

Zeke said looking at Felix.

“Think of it as a fire that can deal several times more damage to monsters and demons. While you guys deal with the spiders here I’ll go inside the forest and find a place to set up a base camp. This white flame will last for an hour so if more monsters come come inside and light a signal flare.”

After giving instructions to his group Zeke quickly came out of the white flame.

Krrrrrr!

The spiders swarmed over Zigg as he emerged from the white flame.

Zeke flew away from his companions and ran towards the forest using his flying technique.

Keeeeek!

The spiders shot webs at the running Zeke.

At that moment Zeke swung his sword with the power of the Holy Spirit.

A ball of light exploded through the swarm of spiders.

Kwakwakwakwang!

Kiiiiiiiiik!

The spiders caught in the flames screamed in agony.

Zeke was beginning to get a feel for what the Holy Spirit’s abilities were.

‘The Light’s Hammer and Shield are also combined here. So….’

Zeke used the Holy Fire imagining a shield of light.

Then Seonghwa’s body inflated and transformed into a shape resembling a shield of light.

“So this is how it’s written. Good.”

Zig hurled his Holy Fire Shield at the spider monsters that were swarming him again.

Kookookookookook!

A huge shield blocked the spider monsters like a wall.

Keeeeek!

The blocked spider monsters shot their webs at the Holy Fire’s shield but to no avail.

Then Zeke stretched out his hand towards the Holy Fire’s shield.

“Blow!”

Woohoo!

As the Holy Fire’s shield spread out into dozens of branches the fragments flew in all directions.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

The fragments transformed into spears of light decimating the spider swarm.

Keeeeek!

The spiders that were hit by the spear of light screamed and scattered.

But that wasn’t the end.

“Get out!”

Clone was waiting for them running towards them with mad eyes holding a mace imbued with the breath of light and the punishment of light.

puck!

Klon’s mace split the sturdy spider monster’s armor without a problem.

The other party members imbued with the power of the Holy Fire also calmly hunted the spider monsters.

Since I had hunted all the monsters in Troy under the pretext of training after some time I was able to deal with spider monsters skillfully.

“Die die!”

Clone’s maddening howl shook the beach.

The giant spiders the predators of this island trembled involuntarily in the madness.

* * *

Entering the forest Zig quickly walked around to get a feel for the overall size and geographic features of the island.

Then Zeke discovered a cave in the forest.

‘That cave seems like it could be a good base.’

Zeke cautiously approached the cave to see if it was a safe place for him to use.

That was when.

Krrrr!

A hint of a monster was detected from inside.

‘A spider again?’

What appeared in front of Zeke who was preparing to raise the Holy Fire was not a Giant Spider but another monster.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A powerful monster with a huge body strong jaws and a sturdy tail.

“Huh? That’s a shark dragon right?”

It was much larger than the ones Don Juan had raised on his farm but it still had the unmistakable appearance of a shark dragon.

Krrrrrr!

The Shark Dragon was an extremely aggressive and belligerent monster.

But surprisingly the guy who found Zeke showed signs of fear.

“You are a dragon species monster so you sense dragon energy from me.”

Zeke approached the Shark Dragon to confirm his guess.

[Elicited fear from the dragon monster.]

[Unique power Dragon Species Domination is activated.]

[Do you want to subjugate the target?]

Zeke didn’t feel the need to make the monster into a summoned creature so instead of subduing it he used the skill ‘Taming’.

Krrrrrr.

When he used taming the Shark Dragon approached Zeke and rubbed its cheek against his.

“You can tame a shark dragon. Don Juan would be so upset if he saw that.”

Zeke chuckled and went into the cave with his tamed shark dragon.

The inside of the cave was wider than I thought and it seemed to be the habitat of shark dragons.

The other shark dragons also took an attitude of submission to Zeke as if the one Zeke had tamed was the leader of this group.

“Good. If it’s here other monsters won’t come either.”

Zeke decided to make his base camp here. He quickly moved and made a campsite on one side of the cave summoning Richmond.

Tsk tsk tsk―

Richmond emerged from Zeke’s shadow.

“omg!”

Richmond looked around in confusion at the sudden summons.

“My lord! Where am I?”

“It is an island in the South Sea.”

“I’m an island in the South Sea… How many months have you been here?”

“That’s not it. It’s a bit complicated to explain so let’s talk about the past later. First let’s make this place our base camp so let the kids go and clean up the area.”

“Oh I see. But is that a shark dragon?”

“Yeah that’s right.”

Richmond’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the shark dragons and then he muttered softly.

“The color of the scales and the shape of the tail seem a bit different from the regular Shark Dragon. Is it a different species from the ones in the Southern Continent? Let’s take a closer look and investigate…”

“Want to taste some purification after a long time?”

“Oh no!”

Richmond then came to his senses and quickly summoned his skeletons to make a camp and had them search around the cave.

While waiting for the campsite to be built Zeke took the items he had obtained from the tower out of his inventory and handed them over to Richmond.

“What is this master?”

“These are the things I obtained this time. They were obtained from the Royal Vampire and the Balrog so study them.”

“Yes? The Royal Vampire and the Balrog?”

It was a Jik who brought things that could not be found even if one wanted them from somewhere and left them there.

It was when Richmond’s eyes sparkled as he carefully examined the items Zeke had brought.

“huh?”

He felt a signal from one of the skeletons and called out to Zeke.

“Master it looks like there’s something inside that cave.”

Zeke took Richmond and went towards the skeleton that had sent the signal.

Upon entering I found that the cave was divided into several branches.

Zeke found a skeleton sending a signal quite a distance away from where the Shark Dragon was.

Before he could get any closer Zeke felt something ahead with his projection senses.

‘This breath is human. More than five people two of them seriously injured.’

Zeke went in alone leaving Richmond and the skeleton behind.

The further inward I went the stronger the smell of blood became and the louder the sound of my heavy breathing became.

Zig used his stealth skill to blend in with the darkness and hid his presence as he slowly approached.

In his hand he held Annexy’s dagger.

As he approached closer Zeke saw people inside the cave.

‘What about them?’

Surprisingly those hiding in the cave were members of the Silver Knights led by Kali.

Zeke emerged from his hiding place and approached them revealing himself.

The knights were startled when Zeke suddenly appeared.

“Sir Jig Drake?”

Among them the one who looked the best recognized Zeke and sat up in surprise.

Zeek said after seeing the article.

“Where is Sister Carly?”

The knight shook his head at Zeke’s question.

“We don’t know where you are Captain. Your ship was wrecked by a whirlpool and we were all scattered. We finally made it to the shore but we suddenly encountered a monster and fled here.”

“How long have you been here?”

“It’s been almost a week.”

Looking at the condition of the knights it seemed that they were not eating or drinking properly and their condition was not good.

First Zeke took out some water from his inventory and handed it to the knights. Then he checked the condition of the wounded knights.

The wounded area had turned blue and had become poisoned as if it had been bitten by a spider. The flesh was rotting away and necrotic in various places.

Zeke took out the antidote and potion from his inventory.

“It’ll hurt a little.”

He poured the antidote and potion together into the wound.

Cheeeeek

“Ugh!”

Bubbles bubbled up from the wound.

I poured antidotes and potions on the wounds of other injured people but they were so seriously injured and their stamina was so low that it was impossible to heal even the necrotic parts.

‘I don’t think I can take you to a campsite where skeletons and monsters are wandering around so I guess I’ll have to take you by boat.’

Zeke said to the knight.

“It would be better to transfer to a ship since treatment here will be limited.”

Even though their stamina was low the Baek Eun Knights were elite knights who had joined the Order with top-tier performances among the Drake Knights.

Agreeing to Zeke’s proposal they carried their injured comrades out of the cave despite their poor physical condition.

Zeke headed towards the shore where the ship was anchored with the White Knights. Fortunately they didn’t encounter any monsters along the way so they were able to reach the shore without much trouble.

And when they reached the shore an incredible sight awaited them.
