A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 222



Episode 222

It was the stimulant that Boris had experimented with on mercenaries in Delphos when he was the Black Yaksha.

“Ugh!”

The fishmen brainwashed by stimulants rushed towards Zigg like crazy.

Zig turned his body and stepped on the ground unleashing a powerful resonance.

Boom!

A strong wave spread out sweeping through the fishermen’s bodies.

“Ugh!”

The fishermen lost their balance and fell over as their bodies shook due to the waves.

Zig immediately activated the healing factor as an area-wide buff.

Woohoo!

Surprisingly the range of the wide-area buff has expanded compared to before and the power of the buff applied has also increased.

The bodies of the fallen fishermen began to recover quickly due to the effects of the healing factor.

“Cough!”

The fishermen who came to their senses were vomiting and unable to control their bodies properly.

‘Is this a withdrawal symptom caused by stimulants?’

After thinking about it Zeke took out the jewel sword Roland.

‘If it’s recovery then recovery might be possible.’

Princess Arina had engraved the magic of light Recovery on Roland and returned it to Sieg through Cloone.

Although it was his first time using it Zeke trusted Arina and used Recovery while holding Roland.

Woohoo!

A silvery glow spread from the sword.

A dazzling light seeped into the bodies of the fallen fishmen.

Tsk tsk tsk―

As the halo of light subsided the fallen fishermen were finally able to come to their senses.

“Ughh …

“Oh my god I’m dying.”

“I have a headache and I’m thirsty…”

Zig took water out of his inventory and distributed it to the fishermen.

The fishermen barely managed to get up after moistening their throats with water without even checking who was giving it to them.

One of the men asked Zeke in a trembling voice.

“Hey where am I?”

Zig looked at the awakened fishermen and asked.

“Are you guys Peter Pan’s Fishman Pirates?”

At Zeke’s words Eoin blinked his eyes which looked more innocent than before and spoke.

“No I wouldn’t go so far as to call us pirates. We just go out on a boat sometimes and catch fish and bad guys. That’s it.”

‘What is this guy?’

It felt more like dealing with an innocent young man from a rural fishing village than a pirate.

At that moment other fishermen also came to their senses and approached.

“Are you okay bro? My head is going to split open.”

“Oh don’t be ridiculous. I’m dying. Mark how are you?”

The man named Mark was the largest in stature and he stood up still dizzy unsteadily before falling back to the floor.

He was the fisherman who first threw the net to Zeke.

“I’m so nervous my head hurts I’m dying. Where am I hyung?”

“I don’t know either. Sir where is this place?”

Seeing the appearance of the fishman pirates that was completely different from what he had expected Zeke forced himself to suppress his confused feelings.

Then he asked calmly.

“Who is the highest ranking… or rather the oldest person here?”

Then for the first time the skinny fisherman came to his senses and raised his hand.

Zeke gestured to him.

“Okay I’ll ask you one by one. What’s your name?”

“Bill you.”

“Bill. Aren’t you and the other fishermen here part of the Fishman Pirates?”

“That may or may not be true.”

“What are you talking about?”

“That’s because we… originally we were the youth group of our island village.”

“Youth Group?”

“Hey. When you get older you can form a youth group with other young people on the island. If there’s trouble in the village you can go and help them. If bad guys go out to get money and capture the villagers you can catch them by boat and bring them back. That’s what we do.”

“So that youth group is a pirate group?”

“They’re not pirates but they keep calling us that. The captain said it would be easier to work that way so they just assumed it was like that.”

“If you’re the captain then you’re Peter Pan.”

At those words Bill clapped his hands and laughed.

“Oh my really. Every time I hear the name of Director Ji-in-yu I laugh.”

“What do you mean it’s funny?”

“Peter Pan was originally the name of a whale raised on our island.”

“whale?”

“Hey at first we were wondering what to name our youth group and then our Peter Pan popped up on the surface. That’s great! We were going to name our youth group Peter Pan and the fishermen but then this guy called Hook or something suddenly told the leader “Peter Pan?” After that everyone kept saying Peter Pan Peter Pan to the leader and that’s how it ended up like that.”

For Zeke hearing Bill’s words was absolutely absurd.

‘What the heck? Are these guys really the strongest pirate group among the South Sea pirates?’

The body movements I saw when we faced each other earlier were definitely outstanding.

Their breathing was good and judging from their skills in throwing nets and hooks and their posture when stabbing the harpoon it was clear that they were not skilled workers who had practiced for a day or two.

Zeke calmed down again and asked Bill.

“By any chance have you ever heard of Carly Draker?”

Then Bill clapped his hands and said

“Oh my you’re a knight of Baek Eun. Even country bumpkins like us should know you. You’re so pretty and so strong right?”

“So pretty…? Anyway let’s move on from that. So you’re saying that you didn’t come here with Peter Pan to eliminate Carly Draker under the orders of the Empire or Siemens?”

Bill waved his hand at those words.

“They don’t know that! They’re just helping because it’s something the captain is doing for our island.”

Zeke looked closely into Bill’s eyes.

Because my spiritual power had grown stronger I was able to judge the truth of such simple words.

‘I don’t think he’s lying.’

Zeke thought about it for a while and then said to Bill.

“The dizziness you felt earlier was due to the stimulant made from soma by the Empire.”

Bill was startled by those words and asked

“So-so-ma-yu? Isn’t that a bad medicine?”

“Most of them use it as a drug. Anyway it seems like the Empire gave you stimulants and brainwashed you. Do you remember anything?”

Bill wrapped his head in thought.

“Hmm. Now that I think about it someone came to the island where our youth group is a few months ago.”

“Who is that?”

“I don’t know who it was but it was a scary-looking person. His hair was red and all.”

Just from that description Zeke knew who it was.

‘Abel Draker. So that’s the guy who approached the pirate group.’

Zeke asked Bill again.

“Did Peter Pan join hands with that guy?”

Then Bill shook his head.

“Oh my don’t talk nonsense. Our leader isn’t the kind of person to do that. When the leader flatly refused he just got on the boat and went back.”

“Hmm Abel just went back?”

“I don’t know if it was Abel or Mercy but anyway he went. But then… Huh?”

That was when.

“Ugh!”

Bill suddenly fell to the ground clutching his head.

Zeke hurriedly lifted Bill’s head up to examine his condition.

Bill rolled his eyes and shivered.

“Ugh! The knights! The knights are coming! All of them Commander! We got caught because of you…!”

Bill trembled and then fainted. Then the other fishermen came over and checked on Bill.

“Sir! Is Bill all right? Oh my what is this!”

After much thought Zeke decided to move Bill towards the seawater.

Because the most comfortable place for a fisherman is in the sea.

After putting Bill in the seawater Zeke displayed a strong mental defense with an area-of-effect buff.

Woohoo!

As the light seeped into his body Bill’s face became more relaxed than before.

‘What on earth happened?’

Zeke decided to find out what happened to the fishermen through Bill who was asleep.

He grabbed Bill and pulled him up.

As his dragon senses kicked in memories of Bill flooded into Zeke’s head.

* * *

When Zeke opened his eyes the surrounding scenery had completely changed.

“Here?”

Zeke was standing on an island he had never seen before.

There were several large and small islands centered around a crescent-shaped rock island.

At that moment a long horn sound echoed throughout the island.

Booooooo!

At the same time a huge whirlpool appeared in front of the path leading to the crescent-shaped island.

Kwakwakwakwa!

Ships heading towards the island were blocked by the whirlpool and unable to move.

Zeke recognized the ships as imperial vessels.

‘Did the Imperial Army attack the pirate group?’

Then something was seen rising from the ship.

Squeak!

To their surprise flying demons were emerging from the ship and flying towards the island.

Phew!

The demons flew over Zeke’s head. On their backs rode the minions and warlocks.

Kwakwakwang!

The warlocks hurled magic bombs from the air towards the island village.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

As the magic bomb exploded the fishermen in the village rushed out with harpoons and nets.

At the same time the demons riding on the demon’s back jumped down towards the fishermen.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The minions attacked the fishmen swinging swords wrapped in magic.

The fishermen fought against the miners by throwing nets and stabbing them with harpoons but to no avail.

Soon most of the fishermen were killed or taken prisoner.

Eventually the whirlpool blocking the path to the island was lifted and the imperial ships safely entered the island.

Those who entered the island of fishermen together with the knights of the empire.

It was none other than Abel Draker the Knight of Slaughter.

He looked around the island his red hair flying.

‘So it was something that was related to Abel.’

Then a knight discovered Zeke grabbed him and dragged him towards Abel.

Zeke realized that he was seeing the scene through Bill’s eyes and sharing his feelings.

Bill knelt before Abel gripped with fear.

A familiar man’s face appeared in Bill’s gaze.

“Whew these guys are giving me a hard time. Captain Abel is having a hard time too.”

A slightly balding man.

It was Morgan Buffon a knight of the Order of the Four Guardians.

Abel looked down at Bill with cold eyes and said.

“Would Peter Pan be willing to take these dirty bastards hostage?”

Morgan Buffon nodded and answered.

“It seems that Peter Pan has quite an attachment to the fishermen of this town. Don’t worry he will definitely accept the chief’s suggestion.”

Abel nodded slowly at Morgan’s words.

Then Morgan grabbed Bill’s chin and snickered.

“If you pickle these guys in medicine and brainwash them they will become docile. If they are like this they will be able to penetrate the ruins well so Your Majesty has high expectations.”

Abel turned his head away without responding as he watched Morgan Buffon’s mean laugh.

As he left Morgan also wiped the smile from his face and gestured to the knights.

“Get organized. I’m going to meet that Peter Pan guy right away.”

The once peaceful village was set ablaze and the fishermen were handcuffed and chained and dragged off like slaves to the empire’s ships.

Bill cried at the sight and tried to get away somehow.

Then the knights beat Bill with their spears. A suspicious-looking wizard approached Bill who was badly beaten and injected something into him with a syringe.

“Euuuuu.”

The world started spinning.

Bill called the captain and then lost consciousness.

* * *

“Phew.”

Zeke came to his senses after reading Bill’s memories.

He roughly figured out what had happened.

‘It was the Empire that captured the fishermen and threatened Peter Pan.’

Their goal was not only to lure Kali into a trap but also to attack their island using the fishermen’s abilities to explore the ancient ruins hidden on the island.

Zeke clenched his fists as he looked at the fishermen looking at him with innocent expressions.

In his previous life this kind of thing happened all over the continent.

But in fact Peter Pan and the Fishman Pirates were also used so there must have been many more victims than he knew.

Zeke remembered Abel’s cold gaze and Morgan’s mean look.

‘Those damn bastards.’

Zeke carried Bill out of the sea water.

Then he asked other fishermen.

“Does anyone remember what happened to the captain?”

The fishermen held their heads and looked confused at Zeke’s question.

It seemed like he was so drunk that he didn’t remember anything.

That was when.

Bill who had lost consciousness regained consciousness.

“Ugh.”

Zeke approached Bill.

“Are you coming to your senses?”

Bill opened his mouth and looked at Zeke.

“I remember. I remembered.”

At those words Zeke approached Bill.

“Do you remember anything about the captain?”

Bill barely managed to sit up and spoke to Zeke.

“The captain fought that guy for us!”

Zeke’s eyebrows quirked at Bill’s words.

“Who are you talking about that person?”

Bill said under his breath.

“Kali Draker… the knight of Baek Baek!”
