A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 247



Episode 247

Hmph!

As Zeke swung his fist at the rushing golem a powerful wave came out.

Kwakwakwang!

The golem made of a solid body broke into pieces and scattered in all directions.

Zeke frowned as he picked through the remains of the broken golem.

‘This time the golem doesn’t have a core.’

A normal golem would need a core to operate.

However the golems encountered upon entering the labyrinth did not have that driving core.

Zeke thought back to the golem he had encountered on the Deep Sea Tribe’s island. That golem also had no core as it was a magical object created through sorcery.

‘It’s strange. I even binge ate just in case but I didn’t feel full.’

Not only were the karma points not replenished but even the mental and physical strength were not replenished. This led Zeke to one conclusion.

“Mr. Yellin this doesn’t seem to be real.”

Yellin was surprised by Zeke’s words.

“What do you mean? It doesn’t exist?”

“The strange creatures and golems I see for the first time are all illusions without substance.”

There was reason for Zeke’s suspicions.

Even though it doesn’t have any nukes or gluttony effects it’s possible to think that artifacts like golems have a separate reason for being able to change in a variety of ways depending on the creator’s ability.

However the situation was different with monsters. It was an incomprehensible situation that the system did not respond at all no matter how much I killed and ate.

If they were incarnated beings like the inverted tower they should have at least accumulated experience points but they didn’t even have that.

Still the monsters that rushed at them seemed as if they were actually alive.

Even when attacked by a monster he actually got hurt.

‘Such a vivid illusion. Is this the power of the dragon?’

While Zeke was examining the principle of the illusion a sound was heard.

thud!

Yellin who was standing behind her had fallen asleep without realizing it and hit the back of her head against the wall. Yellin came to her senses with an embarrassed expression.

It had already been three days since I had come down to the labyrinth.

Zig who had infinite stamina was fine even after not sleeping for three days but Yellin was not like that. Normally she would have had no problem enduring this much.

But now I had to be on my toes fending off attacks from monsters and golems. My stamina was bound to wear out faster than usual.

Zick said rising from his seat.

“I think it would be a good idea to set up a temporary camp and rest for a while.”

Then Yellin shook his head and said.

“No need to do that! I’m fine!”

“In order to continue conquering the labyrinth it is important to get some proper rest. There is a place I have checked over there so let’s go.”

Yellin pretended not to be able to resist Zeke’s words and followed him.

The structure of the labyrinth was similar to an upside-down tower. There were endless paths with walls on all sides and rooms appeared in the middle.

Zeke laid down in the corner of the room where the golem had emerged.

After summoning the ghost soldiers and placing them in front of us in a spirit form to guard us we began preparing for camping.

As Zeke prepared his field equipment one by one Yellin looked at him with curious eyes.

“Where does all this come from?”

“It’s an artifact found at an ancient ruins site. The subspace is large so quite a few things can fit in it.”

I’ve lied so much that it’s come out naturally now.

Zeke laid out the cot and told Yellin to close her eyes first.

Yellin who had refused several times lay down as if she had no other choice and fell asleep as soon as she put her head down.

Looking at Yellin who was sleeping oblivious to the world Zeke smiled as he recalled the Ishtar warrior he knew.

‘I guess not all Ishtar families are that strict.’

The Highlander Ishtar warriors that Zeke knew from his past life were similar to assassins or southern hitmen.

The attacks of the mystics who were masters of poison and martial arts and could carry out ambush attacks were threatening enough.

The reason Ishtar’s warriors were called mystics was because they trained their bodies from a young age using special drugs.

It was a method of training the body by consistently taking specially processed herbs in a traditional way rather than through illegal drugs such as imperial stimulants or human experiments.

The Ishtar warrior who taught Zeke about poison and the ancient Eastern language said that this training method opens the ‘chakras’ in the body.

At the time I didn’t quite understand what it meant but now that I’ve become a Black Knight I think I have a rough idea of ​​what it means.

‘I wonder if it means making the body like a mortal body through special training to increase the adaptability and reaction speed of mana.’

Tyr the Knight of Valor was also able to reach a level higher than that of the Black Knight without any specific aura training method.

I also thought that Ishtar had found a way to build up her realm through physical training and constitution improvement in a way that was different from the Aura training method.

Yellin who had been sleeping while thinking about this and that woke up.

“Hmm. How long have I been sleeping?”

“I think it’s been about two hours.”

Yellin stood up from her seat with a much more refreshed expression on her face.

Zeke handed Yellin the makeshift rations he had prepared.

The two faced each other and filled their bellies with makeshift rations.

Then Yellin looked at Zeke and said.

“There is one thing I would like to ask you Sir Zeke.”

Zeke raised his head and looked at Yellin.

Yellin said looking at Zeke with a serious expression.

“Sir Zeke what are your goals as a knight?”

It was a question that was difficult to answer easily considering it was asked suddenly.

Zick opened his mouth after thinking about it.

“I am content to diligently carry out my duties as a knight of the family.”

Then Yellin shook his head and said.

“I am asking about Sir Zeke’s personal goals not those of his family.”

Zeke opened his mouth after thinking deeply about Yellin’s words.

“The strongest on the continent.”

He said looking into Yellin’s eyes.

“That’s all I’ve been aiming for for a long time.”

At Zeke’s words Yellin unconsciously clenched his fists.

She nodded.

“As expected… my eyes were not wrong.”

Yellin said looking at Zeke.

“I am glad to have met someone who shares my goals. If only I could truly break the shackles of the oath… I too would like to train as a warrior and dream of becoming the strongest on the continent like Sir Zeke.”

“What is the practice of warriorship?”

“It means to travel the continent broaden your horizons meet famous strongmen test your skills and discover new paths through interactions.”

“I didn’t know Ishtar had such a tradition.”

“I heard that our ancestors migrated from the Eastern Continent a long time ago and settled in the Northern Continent. At that time they interacted with other tribes in this way.”

“It may be that in the past it was difficult to move around as freely as it is now so exchanges themselves were not easy.”

“Right now it’s difficult to even go outside because of the shackles of the oath but if only this could be lifted… I definitely want to try training as a warrior. And… someday I want to compete with Sir Zeke for the title of the strongest on the continent.”

Zeke looked into Yellin’s eyes sparkling purely and felt inwardly amazed.

For him becoming stronger was a matter of survival.

The reason I dreamed of becoming the strongest on the continent was to survive and gain the freedom of not being bound by anyone.

But Yellin was someone who had a pure desire to become stronger through martial arts.

‘A high elf who dreams of becoming the strongest on the continent. Something seems strange.’

At that moment the ghost soldier sent a signal that he had detected something strange.

Instead of answering Zeke quickly got up from his seat.

“I think there’s something Yellin.”

At his words Yellin also quickly drew his weapon and became alert.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Zeke and Yellin approached the entrance to the room and hid themselves to the side.

-I’ll go first and take a look.

Yellin was startled when Zeke spoke telepathically but soon pulled himself together and nodded.

He stepped forward bending down.

I focused on the sound coming from the dragon’s mouth.

But it was different from the other monsters and golems I had seen until just now.

‘Black Knight?’

A black knight wearing black armor covering his entire body and a helmet that obscured his face was walking forward holding a huge greatsword.

For a moment a light flashed inside the black knight’s helmet.

He swung his sword at Zeke who was hiding his presence.

Boom!

Zeke who avoided the greatsword with the Welcome Technique confirmed that the place he had been in was completely scorched.

It felt like a heavy force like when Zeke used his golden power.

Kagagagang!

The Black Knight ran towards Zeke dragging his sword on the ground.

The greatsword struck the hard floor causing sparks to fly.

Within seconds the Black Knight’s greatsword rose upward from below.

Phew!

Zeke dodged the powerful sword and looked around for gaps.

‘Is this also welcome?’

However the movement and the power of the sword were not ordinary enough to be called a welcome.

That was when.

“Haaaah!”

Yellin who had suddenly popped out grabbed the twin swords spun his body around and swung his swords at the Black Knight.

Kagagagang!

Yellin’s sword quickly slashed at the Black Knight’s back.

But the Black Knight stood still completely untouched.

After a moment the Black Knight turned around and swung his greatsword at Yellin again.

Boom!

Yellin dodged the attack by swiftly dodging backwards.

At that moment the Black Knight reached out towards Yellin with his greatsword in hand.

Woof!

Suddenly Yellin’s body was pulled towards the Black Knight.

Yellin who was momentarily flustered quickly came to his senses and tried to escape but he was already within the range of the great sword.

Quaching!

However Zeke who had come closer blocked the Black Knight’s greatsword with Bahamut.

He unleashed his golden field and deflected the Black Knight’s greatsword upwards.

Hmph!

Zeke leapt straight forward and unleashed an infinite swordsmanship towards the Black Knight.

The swords that had been piercing all around slashed and stabbed the Black Knight’s vital points.

Kookung!

A magic circle rose from the surface of the black knight’s armor that had been hit by Zeke’s sword emitting light.

Woohoo!

The armor was intact even after being hit repeatedly by the sword perhaps because it was a magic that absorbed all of Zeke’s sword strikes.

At the same time a magic circle appeared on the Black Knight’s greatsword and soon light began to emanate from the sword.

The Black Knight swung his greatsword engulfed in light at Zeke.

Zeke also raised his Aura Blade and swung his sword.

Kwakwakwakwang!

The light of the greatsword and the aura blade clashed and canceled each other out.

Zeke took advantage of the gap and leapt straight forward.

Before he knew it he too was wearing Herzion.

He held Bahamut and charged it directly onto the Black Knight’s body.

Boom!

The black knight was hit by a charge that applied the power of gold and was slammed into the wall.

Ki-ki-ki-ki!

The surface of the Black Knight’s armor began to glow again.

Zeke swung his infinite sword towards the black knight who was pinned against the wall.

Infinite Sword

Continuous attack

Eight-legged

Phew!

Zeke’s sword continued to attack the Black Knight’s body which was stuck in the wall.

The magic circle on the armor glowed and tried to absorb the sword strikes but the attacks continued to come in stronger.

Before he knew it the once sturdy black knight’s armor began to gradually become dented.

Kikkik!

The Black Knight tried to avoid Zeke’s attacks somehow but there was no opening to the Infinite Sword’s continuous eight-shot attack.

There Zigg took full advantage of his infinite stamina to complete an attack with no gaps.

Quaching!

It was around the time when the black knight’s armor was gradually becoming dented.

Kookookookookook!

The entire labyrinth began to vibrate and shake.

The sudden change in the labyrinth caused Zeke to take a step back.

At that moment Yellin who was nearby approached Zeke.

“Why did the labyrinth suddenly… There was no record of such a reaction.”

Suddenly the walls of the labyrinth that had been blocking the way on all sides disappeared as if they were scattering.

Then the walls came together as if fitting pieces together on their own creating a different sight.

Before they knew it a huge cave had opened up in front of Zeke and Yellin.

Yellin muttered to herself in confusion as the labyrinth suddenly turned into a hollow space.

“How did this happen?”

Meanwhile Zeke calmly looked around.

And he remembered a place similar to this one.

‘The lair of the gold dragon Uranus located beneath the haven of the Celestial Tribe.’

Zeke realized that it was a structure similar to the lair of the dragon Uranus where he had found the seal of the kingdom of Kronos.

The black knight who had been lying limp on the floor like a broken doll suddenly began to rise into the air.

Zeke and Yellin gradually raised their heads as they watched the black knight rise into the air.

And then where I thought there was a black wall two purple eyes appeared.

Krrrrrrrr―

The two eyes looked at the crumpled black knight and let out a rough breath.

And then slowly it revealed itself.

‘That’s…?’

A giant black dragon stood before Zeke and Yellin.

At the same time the dragon’s voice echoed in both people’s heads.
