A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 232



Episode 232

A beautiful island landscape unfolded before Zeke’s eyes.

He looked around the island’s scenery with admiration.

“The island has changed hasn’t it?”

The island I first saw when I arrived was covered in thick fog and it was a scary place where you never knew when or where monsters would appear.

But now the fog had cleared away and the trees were shining green and colorful halos of light were flying around.

That was when.

“I can’t remember how long it’s been since I last looked at the blue sea with my own eyes.”

Zeke looked around in surprise and saw Poseidon standing there holding a trident.

Zeke looked at him in surprise and said.

“Lord Poseidon! Can you come out?”

Poseidon said with a smile.

“Thanks to you finding the Sea God’s tablet I was able to come out to this island.”

“That’s fortunate. But how did you create a clone when the divine power was sealed? It must have been a situation where you couldn’t use your power.”

At first I thought he had created a clone of himself in the phenomenal world like Hosgar and left.

But I was curious as to how they prepared a clone in the security zone while the main body’s power was sealed.

Poseidon looked at Zeke and answered.

“When the spear was stuck in my heart and my spirit was sealed Cronus gathered the remaining pieces of my soul and created me as a clone and then he created a sealed area to protect my main body. He was to protect it until he found a way to pull out this spear.”

Surprisingly it was Cronus’ intervention that saved the sealed sea god’s throne.

Zeke looked at Poseidon and asked.

“What on earth happened that the spear of the god of death was stuck in the heart of Poseidon the god of the sea?”

Poseidon listened to Zeke’s words pondered and then opened his mouth.

“It was a long time ago. After the King of Heroes left for the Fairy Land many dragons gradually lost interest in the human world and disappeared.”

Poseidon continued speaking slowly.

“At that time I had already attained the status of a dragon and became a sea god and was staying in the South Sea. But then a war broke out outside.”

Zeke realized what war Poseidon was talking about.

“Are you talking about the invasion of the Demon King’s army?”

Poseidon nodded.

“Yes in the absence of the King of Heroes the Allied Forces were in a very difficult situation. As a sea god I and other dragons were originally not allowed to interfere with the affairs of the phenomenal world but the intervention of the Demon Tribe was an exception.”

“So did the divine dragons stop the Demon King’s army’s invasion?”

“Although it was an exceptional case we could only provide indirect assistance. It was nothing more than accepting the great sage’s request.”

“What kind of request do you have?”

Poseidon paused for a moment and then answered.

“He helped create the Hero King’s homunculus.”

Zeke tilted his head at Poseidon’s words.

“The Homunculus of the King of Heroes… What is that?”

“You can think of it as a golem modeled after the King of Heroes.”

“Is that possible?”

“Although the King of Heroes could not unleash all of his power the power of the divine dragons and the Philosopher’s Stone created by the great sage combined to create a miracle.”

Only then did Zeke understand the traces of the Hero King that remained even after he left for the Fairy Land.

‘The hero king that the dark elves trembled at was a homunculus.’

Poseidon continued speaking.

“And when the Demon King’s army found out that the divine dragons including me had intervened in the war they launched a direct attack on us.”

“no way?”

“Yes. We sealed our divine power by stabbing the Dragon Heart with the Shinsalseok.”

“Oh my God. Who the hell could have done such a thing?”

“He who possesses immortal power.”

Poseidon continued.

“Siemens Apollyon. It was his doing.”

Zeke was startled by his words.

‘Siemens Apollyon who summoned the Demon King was immortal?’

Zeke remembered that he had pulled out the Spear of Shinsal from Dragon Heart.

‘Could it be because we’re both immortal classes?’

In the midst of the confusion of learning this new fact a huge explosion suddenly rang out from the sea.

Kwakwakwakwang!

Because of that the surrounding lights scattered and hid as if they were scared.

Zeke turned his head to see where the explosion had come from and saw dozens of warships chasing a single ship in the distance.

‘That ship belongs to Reinhart Trading Company.’

The imperial warships were firing their magic cannons at Reinhart’s ship that Zeke was on.

Reinhart’s ship was successfully avoiding the magical cannons fired by dozens of warships but it seemed as if it would collapse at any moment due to its numbers and firepower.

‘Those stubborn Imperial bastards. If Sister Kali is on that ship it’s dangerous.’

Poseidon turned his head and looked at the firing fleet.

“Which of them is your enemy?”

“We have more numbers. But there are hostages on that ship that need to be rescued.”

Poseidon nodded.

“I know I can’t be of much help because of karma but I hope I could be of some help.”

Poseidon waved his hand.

Then the giant turtle put its neck back in and began to sink.

Kookookookookook!

As the turtle sank to the bottom of the sea rough waves crashed and pushed the warships away from the island.

Thanks to that Reinhart’s ship was able to escape far away during that gap.

Poseidon looked at Zeke and said.

“Are there any deep-sea people among your colleagues?”

“Yes. The blood of the one called the descendant of the Sea God fell into the sea and the Sea God’s Island revealed its true form.”

At those words Poseidon took something out of his bosom and handed it to Zeke.

It was a conch shell the size of a fist.

“What is this?”

“Please pass this on to your fellow Deep Sea Tribe. If you are a true descendant of the Sea God you will be able to read the ‘Book of the Deep Sea’ contained within.”

At the same time a quest appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

―Achievement Quest (Lower Mission)―

[Give the ‘Book of the Deep Sea’ to the descendants of Poseidon. (No restrictions)]

[Quest Mission Reward: Deep Sea Medal]

Zeke took good care of the conch shell he received from Poseidon.

“I will make sure to tell you.”

Poseidon smiled at Zeke. Soon his body began to slowly become transparent.

“The seal on the main body has been released so I the clone will soon disappear.”

He smiled at Zeke.

“Zeke Draker I wish you peace and prosperity on your future path.”

After a while Poseidon completely disappeared.

Zeke bowed his head towards where Poseidon had disappeared.

It was a heartfelt tribute to a warrior who had achieved great heights.

Zik raised his head and turned it back towards the sea.

Soon his new form disappeared.

* * *

“Ugh I thought I was going to die.”

Clone wiped away the cold sweat as he watched the warship moving away.

Dozens of imperial warships were firing their magical cannons but at that moment there was no way to stop them and in the distance something that was either an island or a giant turtle the size of the island sank completely changing the ocean currents.

Thanks to this they were able to escape to the other side of the island avoiding the warships.

Then Felix who was next to Clone shouted.

“Instructor! That thing! Isn’t that a pirate ship?”

When we returned to the other side of the island we were surprised to see Captain Hook’s pirate ships lined up in a long line blocking the ship from leaving.

Clone ground his teeth.

“These bastards! They’re not going to let us get out of here!”

She clenched her fists and took up a fighting stance holding her mace.

“Felix! Bite down hard! I’m forcing my way through!”

At Clone’s words Felix also drew his sword and nodded.

At this moment he too took on a serious expression ready to face death.

The captain also gritted his teeth and steered the ship.

Everyone faced the pirate ship in front with tension.

Clone and Felix were the first to jump towards the pirate ship and try to take the initiative.

But something was strange.

“huh?”

There was not a single pirate visible inside the pirate ship.

But suddenly the pirate ship’s cabin door opened and someone walked out.

Cloone and Felix were surprised when they saw him.

“My lord!”

“Oh my God! Captain Zeke!”

Two men ran towards Zeke.

Zeke smirked at Cloone and Felix.

“I’m glad you’re both okay.”

Felix approached Zeke and asked.

“My lord! Where have you been? How did you suddenly appear here?”

“I’ll take your questions later. First let’s figure out the situation. What happened?”

Then Clone put down his mace and said.

“Things are a bit messed up.”

“What does that mean?”

“The fish-people led by Peter Pan safely joined the camp. And just as the captain said they tried to rescue the fish-people captured by the imperial army. But… something unexpected happened.”

“Could it be that the hostage fishmen attacked?”

Clone nodded in surprise at Zeke’s words.

“That’s right as the captain said I went to the place where the fish people were being held but they were completely brainwashed by the stimulant.”

The Imperial Army planned to use the fishmen to explore the ruins.

Even though they were hostages there was no way they could have just left the fishermen who could roam the ocean freely.

It was certain that they had brainwashed him with stimulants and then tried to manipulate him as they pleased.

“In the end the fishermen were unable to be rescued and split up to escape. Felix and I pulled the boat out and lured the warships away.”

After hearing Clone’s words Zeke opened his mouth after understanding the situation.

“Where are the others?”

“They all scattered but they must have gathered at the camp.”

“What about Sister Carly?”

“Farel and Baek are being protected by the Knights at the camp. We confirmed that they regained consciousness before we left.”

It was good news that Kali’s consciousness had returned.

Since she would recover faster than the average person it seemed like as long as she took care of her internal injuries she wouldn’t get into a more dangerous situation.

‘Even so it would be best to get to a safe place as quickly as possible.’

Just then someone walked out of the cabin.

He was a pirate belonging to the Hook Pirates.

Cloone and Felix raised their weapons in surprise.

Then Zeke raised his hand and reassured them.

“It’s okay. You’re listening to me right now.”

Zeke used his bloodshot eyes to subdue the pirates’ minds.

The pirate whose spirit had been subdued had a red eye mark engraved on his forehead.

Zeke said to Cloone and Felix.

“First we need to sail the boat back to camp.”

Then Felix shook his head as if to say no.

“My lord if you keep doing that the imperial warships will keep chasing you and if we’re not careful the location of the camp could be discovered.”

Zeke looked satisfied at Felix’s sharp opinion which was unusual for him.

He looked at the pirate next to him and smirked.

“Let’s give back to those imperial bastards what they did to us.”

Cloone and Felix tilted their heads as if they did not understand what Zeke said.

* * *

The imperial warships that had been pushed by the ocean current found their place again and approached the island.

Atop the largest of the Empire’s warships stood a young knight clad in luxurious full plate armor the Hersion.

He was looking out across the sea from the bow.

The captain came up next to him bowed his head and assumed the most polite posture possible.

The knight said to the captain.

“Did you find the boat?”

“Yes. They are running away to the back of the island.”

The young knight nodded.

“Arrest them right away. I will catch them and interrogate them myself.”

As the captain stepped aside another knight approached the young knight.

It was none other than Morgan Buffon the Knight of the Royal Palace.

Morgan Buffon bowed his head to the knight with the utmost respect.

“Leo it’s windy. Please go inside the cabin.”

The knight spoke with a stern expression at Morgan’s words.

“If the commander steps down from battle which soldier would risk his life to fight?”

Morgan Buffon could not refute the knight’s words and could only grit his teeth inwardly.

‘Damn… If the Second Prince gets hurt I’ll be the only one who gets hurt.’

The young knight’s true identity was none other than Leonard Crowley Constantine the second prince and first in line for the throne.

After the 4th Prince Carus defected to the Draker side Consul Julius promoted the 2nd Prince Leo to first in line for succession and consolidated his power.

And then he started to secretly eliminate the First Prince’s forces.

As a result the capital of the empire Rome was engulfed in a silent war due to the infighting among the rulers.

Eventually as the First Prince’s power was weakened even the Council of Elders that supported him collapsed.

Thanks to this Rom came under the control of the Second Prince.

And Leo the second prince wanted to win the emperor’s favor regardless of the situation.

That is why Morgan Buffon volunteered for this mission.

The problem was that although he may have great talent as a knight he was still inexperienced as a commander.

Morgan had a very hard time whether he was commanding the scene or taking care of the prince.

‘Damn it’s already a headache and then these weird guys suddenly show up….’

As he was gritting his teeth the adjutant approached and reported to Morgan.

“Commander. A pirate ship from the Hook side has appeared at the rear.”

Morgan frowned.

‘I told you to keep your shit together these damn pirates why are you suddenly here again…?’

That was when.

Kwakwakwakwang!

With a loud roar Hook’s pirate ship began firing its magic cannons at the warship.
