A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 228



Episode 228

“You damn cheeky brat.”

Hook said holding a sword curved in the shape of a hook and glaring at Zeke.

Then he stepped back and stabbed the sword he was holding into his own shadow.

Peter Pan cried out when he saw this.

“Damn it! Stop that guy quickly!”

With a shout Peter Pan launched a sea serpent at Hook.

Kwakwakwakwa!

Then from Captain Hook’s shadow black chains rose up in a line.

Chorrrrrr!

A black chain suddenly appeared and bound Peter Pan’s sea serpent preventing him from moving.

‘That’s?’

Zik opened his eyes wide in surprise. It was similar to the soul sealing technique he was using.

And then something emerged from Captain Hook’s shadow.

Krrrrrr.

A black crocodile was slowly crawling out of the shadows.

A black chain was wrapped around the crocodile’s body connecting it to the hook’s shadow.

Hook shouted at the crocodile.

“Eat that bastard!”

The crocodile opened his mouth wide when he heard Hook’s words.

Tsk tsk tsk―

Then a black mist rose from the crocodile’s mouth. Peter Pan saw it and retreated towards Zeke.

“If you get hit by that fog your vision will be blocked! Get out of here!”

Peter Pan who had fought Captain Hook several times knew what a terrifying summoning ability that crocodile had.

But even after hearing Peter Pan’s warning Zeke did not back down but instead took a step forward.

Tsk tsk tsk―

As the fog touched Zeke’s body the skill Curse Reflection was activated.

Then the fog around Zeke’s body stopped coming any closer and instead started flowing in the opposite direction.

Hook shouted in anger at the sight.

“The fog doesn’t penetrate! Damn it! Crocodile! Swallow him whole!”

Chorrrrrr!

An alligator with a black chain wrapped around its body crawled quickly toward Zig.

The guy who came closer tried to hit Zeke with his thick tail.

Boom!

As Zeke dodged the welcome message the crocodile’s tail struck the deck.

The ship did not break but the entire hull shook.

Zeke activated his skill ‘Blood Eyes’ while looking at the black crocodile.

Wow!

As red eyes appeared on my forehead my vision of a world I had never seen before opened.

Zeke looked at the black crocodile chained to the chain with bloodshot eyes.

And he immediately realized what the crocodile was.

‘That’s just a fixed shape. The essence is a soul bound to that sword.’

The crocodile was merely a visualized figure the essence being the black chain that bound the soul and the sword together.

‘If I break that black chain the soul bound to the sword will be freed.’

Zeke closed his bloodshot eyes again and took out the jewel sword Roland instead of Bahamut and raised it.

Krrrrrr!

The crocodile looked at Zeke and made a threatening sound.

At that moment Zig who was wearing the Holy Flame on Roland waited for an opportunity and launched a strong resonance attack.

Wooooow!

The waves spread across the deck capturing the movements of the crocodile.

At the same time he approached the welcoming gate and swung his sword at the black chain that bound the crocodile.

visor!

The black chain did not break even with Zeke’s sword strike.

Captain Hook laughed at Zeke when he saw that.

“You idiot! That chain will never break!”

I considered striking Hook’s neck first but the black chain protected Hook from holding the sword.

‘A sword that protects its master. It doesn’t seem like an ordinary weapon.’

It felt like the black chain as well as the soul sealed within it held great power.

Zeke stepped back and asked Captain Hook.

“Where did you get that sword?”

Captain Hook smiled bitterly at Zeke’s question.

“You have a lot to be curious about for someone who will die soon. But I am a merciful sailor so I will tell you. It is a unique item obtained by raiding merchant ships in the East.”

I thought the shape was unique and as expected it was an Eastern Empire weapon.

And when Zeke found out about that his expression changed subtly.

‘The magical weapons of the Eastern Continent often have a bad ending.’

Many weapons from the Eastern Continent had powerful functions but they also ate away at the user’s soul ultimately leading to destruction.

To avoid such an ending special training is required to properly use the weapon and those who have completed this training are called ‘successors’.

Captain Hook happened to get his hands on one of the Heir’s weapons and was using it as he pleased.

Zeke grabbed the jewel sword Roland and aimed it at the black chain again.

Then Captain Hook laughed at such a Zeke and shouted again.

“You idiot! That damn crocodile! Hurry up and finish him off! Today is the day that Captain Hook becomes the King of Pirates Captain Hook!”

Zeke focused his mind on the tip of his sword.

At the same time the power of the spirit was raised.

Woohoo!

If the black chain was a symbol of a spiritual seal binding the soul then it was clear that a soul-striking technique using spiritual power would work.

According to Zeke’s will the power of the Holy Spirit and the Honshinki were both infused into the sword.

Zik’s new model has moved forward.

Honshinki

Double Spell

The will to shatter

Zeke’s sword filled with his will collided with the black chains that bound the crocodile.

Oh my!

It sounded completely different from before.

Captain Hook’s expression changed as the vibrations spread to the sword he was holding.

‘That guy?’

He tugged at the chain hastily.

Clang!

The chain that bound the crocodile was pulled taut.

Zeke swung his sword once more.

The will to shred exploded once again.

Wow!

The waves created by the clash of chains and swords spread across the entire deck.

A crack began to appear in one of the chains where Zeke had struck the sword.

At that moment the crocodile’s body began to tremble and its form gradually began to collapse.

Hook’s face turned pale when he saw that sight.

“That’s ridiculous. How could the chain break…?”

Zeke struck the chain with his sword again.

“Haaaah!”

With a scream the black chain finally broke apart.

Pachin!

Chorrrrrr!

As the chain broke the crocodile was freed.

Krrrrrr.

The crocodile freed from its restraints began to tremble and gradually changed its appearance.

Grrr! Grrr!

Before long the crocodile’s limbs had grown longer and its shadowy body was covered in thick armor.

The crocodile which had transformed into a giant lizardman-like form reared up emitting a breathtaking aura of intimidation.

‘That’s… a genie right?’

At first I thought it was just a magical weapon but it seemed like it had more magic powers than that.

The crocodile glanced at Zeke then turned his head to glare at Captain Hook who was holding his sword.

Captain Hook slowly stepped back sword in hand.

“You damn crocodile! I am the master of this sword! Follow my orders!”

At those words the crocodile warrior stomped towards Captain Hook.

Even the giant Captain Hook looked like a child in front of the Crocodile Warrior.

The crocodile warrior who approached was engulfed in smoke and entered Captain Hook’s body.

“Whew!”

Soon Captain Hook’s body began to swell greatly.

Support!

The clothes couldn’t support the muscles and burst open.

Peter Pan who was watching this from behind frowned and said.

“What the hell is that? Is it an ancient ghost?”

“Similar. To be exact it is a being called a ‘genie’ in the Eastern Continent.”

Genies were something between spirits and ghosts.

In the Eastern Continent there was a magic that allowed one to bind genies to weapons and grant their powers to excellent warriors.

In my previous life when I was a Highlander I had seen the warriors and sorcerers of the Eastern Continent who were called Successors so I could guess their true identity.

It was a unique power that was different from the aura of the Central Continent.

Krrrrrr.

Captain Hook possessed by Genie turned his head and looked at Zeke and Peter Pan.

Then he started saying something to them.

“A woman who controls the spirit of water. This would be a good idea for a banquet to commemorate her release from the seal.”

Captain Hook possessed by Genie was speaking in an ancient Eastern language.

Then he turned his gaze towards Zeke met his eyes and activated a strange magic spell.

“Catch that woman and I’ll grant you your wish.”

There was an undeniable magic in Genie’s eyes.

If he had been an ordinary person he would certainly have fallen for Genie’s temptation.

But unfortunately Zeke was no ordinary being.

“You use some really messy techniques.”

Genie flinched when Zeke spoke in the ancient Eastern language.

“What the heck how do you know our language?”

“That’s none of your business. Seeing as you took over the body I think you’re more of a ghost than a spirit.”

The genie who had been possessed by Captain Hook said with a bitter smile at Zeke’s words.

“You insolent human. I will devour your soul and turn you into a meat doll to serve me.”

Captain Hook’s new form holding a sword suddenly disappeared. Then the guy who appeared behind Peter Pan shouted.

“I will swallow your soul together with the spirit!”

Black smoke burst out of Captain Hook’s mouth and enveloped Peter Pan’s body.

“profit!”

Peter Pan oppressed by the power of the evil spirit was unable to summon the water spirit.

However since she was not completely in control of her body and mind she took out her dagger and swung it at Genie.

“It’s no use struggling!”

Genie threw Peter Pan who was wrapped in smoke.

bang!

Peter Pan hit his head against the wall of the ship and fell down.

Genie slowly approached the fallen Peter Pan.

At that moment Annexi’s dagger bound in a chain flew towards Genie.

Hmph!

Genie sensed something ominous coming from the chain and stepped back.

He glared at Zeke as if he was annoyed and shouted.

“I’ll eat you first!”

Captain Hook’s massive body quickly rushed towards Zeke.

He took up the sword of the Eastern Continent and swung it at Zeke.

Pachin!

Zig’s sword strike filled with golden power deflected the sword swung by Genie.

“This is ridiculous. How can a human have this much power!”

Genie surprised by Zeke’s sword strike opened his mouth wide and spit out black smoke perhaps thinking that it would be difficult to defeat him with a sword.

Black smoke was trying to penetrate Zeke’s body.

That was when.

Phage crackle!

The curse reflection was activated and Zeke’s body bounced off black smoke.

“What is it?”

Genie looked confused and went back into Captain Hook’s body.

At that moment the chain that had been lying on the floor moved.

Clang!

Annexy’s dagger was thrust into Hook’s shoulder and the chain that moved with it instantly wrapped around Hook’s body.

Cheeeeek!

The chains glowed red and restrained the genie preventing her from moving.

Genie screamed inside Hook’s body.

『This is it! Chain of Souls! How can this be!』

Instead of answering Zeke poured the Holy Spirit into the chain that wrapped around Hook.

Whoosh whoosh!

The Holy Spirit flowed through the chain to the genie possessing Hook’s body.

『Kkaaaaaaah!』

The flames of the Holy Fire which even the spirits of the Demon Tribe could not withstand also worked on Genie.

Genie who was caught by Zeke immediately changed her attitude and spoke in a pitiful voice.

“Please my lord spare me. If you have any wish I will grant it. Please just spare me!”

“I don’t have any particular wish. Even if I did I don’t think you’d be able to grant it.”

『That can’t be true… Every human has a wish. Please believe me just this once!』

Zeke gripped the chain tighter and continued to blow into the torch.

Eventually Hook’s body controlled by Genie dropped the sword it was holding.

Zeke picked up the sword and examined it slowly.

“It’s a Damascus sword. It’s quite precious. How could such a precious sword be possessed by such an evil spirit….”

Zeke looked at the hook that Genie had possessed.

It was quite a sight to see him trying to escape from the chains while rolling his blackened pupils.

Zeke made up his mind after seeing the sight.

‘It doesn’t seem like it’s worth fixing. I’ll just binge eat.’

As Zeke blew harder into the Holy Flame Genie burst out of Hook’s body in agony.

『Kkaaaaaaah!』

Zeke didn’t miss the moment and wrote a book about binge eating.

Tsk tsk tsk―

Immediately Zeke’s shadow rose and swallowed up the black smoke.

『Oh no! This power! This is ridiculous! This can’t be happening!』

It was Genie who was dragged into Zeke’s shadow while screaming.

[Guzzled the ghost of an evil crocodile.]

[The evil crocodile’s ghost overeating due to the influence of Shadow Domination transforms into a shadow spirit.]

Tsk tsk tsk―

A warrior’s figure appeared from Zeke’s shadow.

The warrior wearing a crocodile-shaped helmet and Eastern continental armor stood before Zig with his back straight.

[You can register a Shadow Spirit as a summon.]

[Would you like to register as a summoner and give it a name?]

Zeke was troubled by the shadow spirit that looked quite strong.

‘Well there’s no harm in having a summoner.’

Zeke was wondering what to call his summoner and decided on one of the names of Don Juan’s beloved Shark Dragons.

“Let’s call it Cayman.”

[You have acquired the Summoned Cayman.]

Cayman the newly summoned creature knelt before Zeke.

[My name is Cayman. I am a newly born shadow spirit and I will be loyal to my master.]
