A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 230



Episode 230

‘The Guardian of the South Sea?’

Zeke was able to realize the warrior’s identity after hearing his words.

‘Is the forgotten sea god a dragon?’

At first glance it didn’t seem much different from Yongin but the vibe it gave off was different.

It felt like the dragon’s majesty skill was naturally flowing out of my body.

Although it was a spirit form it was the first time that Zigg had encountered a real dragon.

Poseidon looked at Zeke and said.

“The soul of the Elder Dragon the heart and fangs of Bahamut…”

Perhaps because they were the same dragon he immediately realized that Zeke held Bahamut’s heart.

Zeke flinched at those words but Poseidon opened his mouth calmly.

“Are you a descendant of Terracan?”

Surprisingly Poseidon also knew about Terracan.

Zeke nodded and answered.

“Yes. Outside a thousand years have passed since Terracan Draker ended his war of liberation. Did you become a spirit after meeting Terracan Draker?”

Poseidon shook his head at those words.

“When I met Terracan Draker before my clone was in a spiritual state just like now. I only have memories of that time because the karma data is stored there.”

“How did Terracan Draker come here?”

He continued looking at Zeke.

“Bahamut came here with Terrakan.”

Zig was surprised by those words and asked.

“Is Bahamut personally bringing Terracan Draker with him?”

“Yes. I came here to learn the true dragon sword technique.”

Zeke’s eyes widened at Poseidon’s words.

‘Could it be that he sought help from Poseidon to make the True Dragon Sword into a dragon killing technique?’

Even in Zeke’s eyes Poseidon’s spearmanship skills were extraordinary.

At least the Black Knight’s skills seemed to be far superior.

Poseidon swung his trident and looked at Zeke.

“Zeke Draker why have you come here?”

I felt a little embarrassed to say that I had come to retrieve the treasure of the Sea God because of the quest that came to me from his warrior-like appearance.

Zeke thought for a moment then made a serious expression and spoke to Poseidon.

“I want to overcome my limits.”

At those words Poseidon’s expression changed.

He said to Zeke.

“It’s better than Terracan. He said he was more interested in the treasure of the Sea God than in the transmission of the True Dragon Sword.”

Zeke was momentarily stabbed by Poseidon’s words.

‘Terracan. I’ve seen it in past videos but it’s quite worldly.’

In legend he was the knight of knights the dragon slayer and a symbol of bravery and altruism but it seems that reality was not like that.

Poseidon swung his spear again and looked at Zeke.

“I want to go beyond the limits. That means I want to break down the wall that is blocking you.”

“That’s right. I can’t quite reach beyond the Black Knight. I want to go beyond this wall and become the strongest on the continent.”

Then Poseidon looked at Zeke and said.

“Terracan said the same thing. He wanted to become the strongest being in the world.”

Zeke also saw Terrakan fight a dragon that had been eroded by magic.

I don’t know much about his personality but there was no doubt that he was a strong knight.

Then Poseidon opened his mouth again.

“What advice do you think I would have given him?”

“Did you tell me to swing my sword harder?”

Poseidon shook his head.

“No I recommended the book to him.”

“Are you talking about a book?”

Zeke was taken aback by Poseidon’s completely unexpected answer and asked back in a bewildered tone.

Instead of answering Poseidon waved his hand in the air and at his gesture several books appeared in midair.

Zeke read the title of the book that fell in front of him.

[Collection of proverbs to help you grow]

‘Where have I seen this title before?’

Zeke thought for a moment then realized that it was the title in Terracan Draker’s secure vault.

I thought it might be helpful since it was in the security vault so I read it but it was a book that was just boring and I was annoyed.

“Terracan was so moved by this book that he shed tears.”

“yes?”

Zeke couldn’t believe Poseidon’s words.

Who would believe that the Terracan Draker was moved to tears by this collection of childish sayings?

But Poseidon said with a serious expression.

“Do you understand what I mean?”

“…read a book?”

Poseidon shook his head at Zeke’s words.

“No what each person needs to grow is different. Terracan was a person who lived a very realistic life so there was no one who had ever told him about growth. That’s why even just this collection of proverbs could be of great help to his growth.”

Zeke nodded at Poseidon’s words.

‘Well I heard he was beaten to a pulp by the Draker family and then thrown in the crematorium.’

I couldn’t tell for sure but I’m sure he had a childhood just as miserable as Zeke’s in his previous life.

At the same time Zeke reflected deeply on his life.

‘But my life is not that easy either. Should I read the collection of proverbs again?’

Then Poseidon opened his mouth holding his spear and aiming it at the troubled Zeke.

“Blue dragons are smaller and less powerful than other dragon species. That’s why we have a long tradition of training ourselves to find what we are best at. I chose this spear as my target.”

He spoke to Zeke as he swung the window around.

“And if you practice for that long you will gain an ability. Do you know what it is?”

“I don’t know.”

“It is the ability to know what is lacking.”

Woohoo!

Poseidon’s trident shook.

He flashed his eyes and looked at Zeke.

“What Terracan lacked was ‘culture.’ What do you think you lack Zeke Draker?”

Zeke unconsciously stepped back at the aura emanating from Poseidon’s body.

Poseidon ran towards Zeke and shouted.

“That is the ‘stimulus’ that will awaken your survival instinct.”

Phew!

Poseidon’s trident fell towards Zeke with a loud noise.

Kwakwakwang!

Unlike before a trident with surprising power collided with Bahamut.

“Ugh!”

Zeke was pushed back by the shockwave. Then Poseidon looked at Zeke and said.

“It seems like he was talking about unifying the two swords something that didn’t suit his personality saying that he would break new ground.”

Zeke’s mouth fell open at Poseidon’s words who had seen through his condition in an instant.

Although I had clearly gained some insight as the days went by I began to feel that it was not a good fit for me.

“How did you know?”

“Your tenacity to survive like a cockroach is your strong point but I see you keep trying to swing your sword in a noble way. You must have seen the sword of a great swordsman and tried to imitate it.”

Zeke was impressed by Poseidon’s wisdom.

After meeting the Black Sword Shaton Draker he continued to try to imitate the Black Sword without even realizing it.

Every single word Poseidon said stabbed Zeke in the heart.

‘This is the first time anyone knows my condition so accurately.’

Zeke asked Poseidon with sincerity.

“Lord Poseidon how can I jump over this wall?”

Then Poseidon nodded and said.

“It has to be right.”

“yes?”

Poseidon continued with a fierce expression.

“I told you before. Your strong point is your survival instinct like a tenacious cockroach.”

“No matter what cockroaches are a bit….”

“Your vitality seems to be no less than that of a cockroach if not more.”

“….”

It wasn’t a wrong statement but for some reason it made Zig feel uneasy.

Poseidon touched the trident then turned the blade and took it out.

So only the shaft of the trident remained in his hand.

“Lord Poseidon? Why is that….”

“Today I will reawaken the fierce survival instinct that is still dormant in your body. If there is a blade there is a chance that you will die. I removed the blade to lower the chance of death so don’t worry too much about it.”

“Well doesn’t that mean I could die anyway?”

“If I had to say so yes.”

At that moment a cold sweat ran down Zeke’s back. He remembered a similar experience from his past life.

‘Let’s do it. If we do it it will work out somehow.’

‘Yes Master. Does that make sense?’

‘What if it doesn’t work? What are you going to do? Just shut up and take it.’

After being beaten up by the master I was semi-forcibly awakened as a healer and after being beaten up even more I was eventually able to open up the mid-game.

‘Come to think of it it seems like I was beaten to death every time I climbed over a wall.’

Kookookookookook!

At that moment a tremendous amount of energy poured out from Poseidon’s body while he was holding the spear.

Zeke hurriedly lifted Bahamut and aimed it at Poseidon.

‘Ugh.’

Zeke felt like a small insect under the overwhelming force of Poseidon pouring down like a storm.

‘We need to change the flow.’

He rushed towards Poseidon first.

“Haaaah!”

But Poseidon’s spear deflected Zeke’s sword and struck him straight in the eye.

Thud!

Zig who was stabbed in the chin flew to the wall.

“Cough!”

Zigg who was hit with a spear vomited blood from his mouth.

In just one room my insides were completely shattered.

‘crazy….’

Hoong hooong hooong!

Poseidon was swinging his spear again and was coming towards Zeke.

Zig who had recovered his health quickly got up from his seat.

Before I knew it his eyes were full of life as he moved nimbly.

His survival instinct more vicious than a cockroach was coming alive.

* * *

‘How many times have I died?’

Zig spat out the blood clot that was rising up in his throat and took a potion out of his inventory and swallowed it.

No attack worked on Poseidon.

Neither the sword power nor the skills nor the dragon’s abilities were of any use.

Poseidon on the other hand did not use any magic or powers but only swung his spear.

However the attacks coming from Poseidon’s spear were on a different level.

If I got hit just once my whole body would be shattered and I would almost die barely managing to survive.

If the day had been right Zeke would have died hundreds of times over.

Hoong hooong hooong!

Poseidon approached Zeke swinging his spear.

Zig whose insides had burst and whose bones were crushed all over his body got up again and grabbed his sword.

At that sight Poseidon took hold of his spear and took a stance.

“Honestly I didn’t know I could endure this much.”

“Is this what you mean when you turn a person into a rag?”

Poseidon nodded at those words.

“Yeah so this time I decided to be a little more sincere.”

Kookookookookook!

A stronger energy than before was concentrated on Poseidon’s spear.

To Zeke’s eyes Poseidon’s spear looked like a huge lump of iron that could cover the entire world.

Still Zeke held Bahamut and took a deep breath.

“Phew. Phew.”

His posture was completely different from before.

It was not a standard swordsmanship style like the True Dragon Sword or Infinite Chain Strike but a posture where one stood awkwardly spread one’s legs and held the sword.

This was the stance Zeke used to take before fighting in his previous life as a savage.

At that time the whole world was his enemy.

That’s why he was always on his toes and honed his survival instinct.

After his regression Zeke was able to fully recall the feelings he had back then for the first time in a long time.

As he took up his stance Poseidon’s spear flew towards Zeke.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!

The spear was filled with the will to crush Zeke’s entire body.

Zik clenched his teeth and rushed towards the window instead.

“Haaaaaaah!”

The one moment we’ve waited for after hundreds of deaths.

Zig grabbed his sword sheath and used his Spirit Transformation skill just before the spear hit his head.

Phew!

As Zeke’s body became a spirit he entered the gap between the phenomenal world and the spiritual world.

Zeke activated the dragon skill ‘Dragon’s Breath’ from between the dimensions.

A pattern emerged from Zeke’s chest and mana condensed there.

Wooooow!

It took 30 seconds just to compress the mana.

As time passed Zeke felt a strong temptation to stay here forever.

‘I have to go out!’

With a strong will Zeke emerged from the dimensional rift back into the phenomenal world.

Phew!

Zeke who escaped from Poseidon’s blind spot immediately let out the ‘Dragon’s Breath’ he had been saving.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

High-pressure mana cannons poured out toward Poseidon.

Zik didn’t stop there and took up his sword.

Even though he had already reached his limit having exhausted all his mana with the dragon’s breath he did not stop.

‘Just a little more!’

Then a message appeared before his eyes.

[Skill limit breakthrough is in progress.]

Poseidon wrapped the dragon’s breath that Zeke had shot around his spear and directed it to the side.

Zeke took advantage of that moment.

‘One chance!’

He stepped forward with his sword in hand.

At the same time Zeke’s vision changed completely.

‘What is this…?’

A ray of light rose from Zeke’s sword.

A power completely different from Mana or Aura.

Zeke caught the azalea and dragged it to his will.

The azure creatures gathered and wrapped themselves around Zig’s sword.

His body moved of its own accord.

Only through a completely different perspective could the flow of the sword be fully seen.

The sword that Zeke was holding moved on its own.

Phew!

A new swordsmanship that had never been seen before unfolded in Zig’s hands.
