A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 264
by Jessie@AFNCC
Episode 264
“Gasp gasp.”
Jason took a deep ragged breath as he held the wall together with his magic.
The other comrades were also exhausted and injured from the relentless attacks of the demons.
Alice and the other children of Luverne were trembling in fear behind Zion.
Aaron said to the children.
“Don’t worry. You’ll get out of here safely.”
Airen turned his head and looked at Arina who was meditating with her eyes closed.
Arina had used up all her magical power to maintain the shield for several days.
The demons attempted to attack several times but after each failure they waited until her magical power ran out and then launched an all-out attack the moment the shield’s power weakened.
At that time the dwarves who had gone to inspect the back of the dungeon returned.
Rick approached the dwarves and asked.
“Is there a path inside?”
Then the dwarf leader shook his head and said.
“The path is too complicated and instead of going out it goes further inward. If you go in the wrong way more demons may come.”
Rick nodded after hearing the foreman’s words and approached Jason.
“How long can Jason last?”
Thanks to Arina’s training Jason’s magical power increased and its duration became longer.
He said wiping away the cold sweat.
“No matter how long it is… 30 minutes is the limit.”
Rick swallowed hard at Jason’s words.
During that time Arina had to regain her strength before she could leave this place.
Then Kay and the Syndicate men returned from another direction.
Kay approached Rick and whispered to him in a small voice.
“Rick over there… there are more traces of the demons.”
Rick’s face turned pale at her words.

If more demons came in under the same circumstances I wouldn’t be able to hold out.
Kay turned her head and looked at the frightened children of Luverne.
I couldn’t let the children who had just been released from the Holy Kingdom and found freedom die here.
At that moment Arina who had been meditating opened her eyes.
“Everyone listen carefully to what I have to say.”
When Arina spoke everyone focused.
She said in a calm voice.
“I’ve recovered some strength. While I hold off the demons try to avoid any trace of them. Sir Zeke will be here soon with a rescue team so just hold out until then.”
All the children behind Zion shed tears at Arina’s words.
“Hehe Arina… No. Let’s go together!”
She smiled fondly at the children of Luverne.
“It was my fault for bringing the children to such a dangerous place. Please take good care of the children Kay.”
Then Alice who had been listening to the story ran into Arina’s arms and hugged her.
“Sob I’m sorry Arina. I insisted on coming with you… sob.”
Arina said gently stroking Alice’s head.
“Don’t worry Alice. I’ll protect you so just listen to Kay and stay out of the way. Okay?”
Arina winked at Louis the oldest of the Luverne children.
Louis also barely held back his tears as he led Alice towards him.
Kay nodded after hearing Arina’s words.
Rick and his party gritted their teeth and prepared to find their way with the dwarves.
That was when.
Krrrrrr—
The cries of demons could be heard from the direction Kay had come from.
Rick drew his sword.
“Everyone prepare for battle!”
The worst situation has occurred with demons rushing in from both sides.
And then out of the darkness a leopard-like demon emerged.
Rick ran forward and swung his sword.
“Haaaah!”
Pachin!
Rick’s sword clashed with the demon’s claws. The dwarves holding the hammers followed Rick and rushed toward the demon.
“Chahaaaat!”
Boom!
As the dwarves swung their hammers the demon moved quickly and climbed up the wall.
The demon moved quickly and targeted the weakest looking children.
Kaaaak!
At that time Zion who was protecting the children raised her hand and used her bloodline ability.

Kkieeeeing!
Zion’s power caused the demon to stop moving in the air.
Although he was able to stop the demon Zion’s telekinesis output was lower than before as he recovered his body.
Black blood flowed from Zion’s nose as he tried too hard to protect the children.
“You damn devil! With my original power I can’t beat the likes of you!”
During that gap Eiren climbed up the wall. Then he swung his twin swords and cut off the beast’s vital point.
Choaack!
Zion pushed away the demon’s vital point which had been cut by Eiren’s attack and slammed it into the wall.
Kwakwakwang!
As Zion began to sweat Alice approached him with a worried look and used healing on him.
“Is Zion okay?”
Zion said to Alice as if nothing had happened.
“Rat trap. This is nothing to this Sion.”
It was Zion who was showing off for nothing.
But inside my body I was on the verge of becoming a mess.
That was when.
Krrrrrr—
The cries of other demons could be heard from inside.
Kaaa …
Fierce demons began to emerge from the darkness.
Just as Rick and his party and the dwarves were about to charge at the demons a huge light flashed behind them.
Phage phage phage!
The lightning bolt of light emitted by Arina struck the demons.
Kaaaak!
While the demons who were hit by the lightning of light were twisting their bodies in pain Arina who was behind them shouted.
“Go quickly! Please protect the Kay children!”
Woohoo!
A huge beam of light emanated from Arina’s body.
She tried to blast the path again.
But then at that moment the dungeon shook with a thumping sound.
Wow! Wow!
A cry completely different from that of any demon that had appeared so far was heard.
Everyone in the group was tense and on guard.
After a while a new demon slowly appeared in the darkness.
‘What’s that?’
A demonic creature that looked like a cross between a cyclops and a werewolf stood before them.
The path was completely blocked by a huge mass that filled the walls of the dungeon.
The group fell into despair and their morale was instantly broken. Arina who saw this came to her senses and said.
“Jason break down the wall. I’ll lure the other demons away so lead your party to the other side.”
Jason was startled by those words.
“That can’t be!”
But white electricity was already jumping out of Arina’s body.
“I can stop them somehow if I do it alone. So please… protect them.”
Jason clenched his teeth at Arina’s words.
At that moment the giant demon roared.
Grrrrrr!
Arina fired a bolt of light at the giant demon.
Pfft pfft pfft!
The giant demon that was struck by the lightning retreated but did not appear to have suffered as much damage as the other demons.
Kaaaaaaah!
Arina shouted.
“Jason come on!”
It was when Jason closed his eyes tightly and was about to break down the wall.
Kikkik!
In an instant a monkey-like creature suddenly appeared from the ceiling.
Kak!
Because the body of the demon was small she didn’t notice it. The demon was rushing towards Arina.
Kaaaak!
Zion quickly reached out his hand towards the demon but was unable to completely catch it.
Choaack!
Arina who was maintaining her lightning strike was attacked by the demon.
“Arina!”
Arina fell to the demon’s attack and Claire shot arrows continuously at the demon.
Kiik!
As the demon ran away to avoid the arrows Zion used his power to grab the demon and immediately Eiren swung his sword and killed the demon.
Jason ran towards Arena where she had collapsed.
“Arina!”
Thanks to Zion the demon’s attack passed by but the wounded area was dyed black.
Grrrrrr!
As Arina’s lightning disappeared the demon charged forward again.
Rick and the dwarves clenched their teeth and took up their weapons.
“An honorable dwarf never backs down!”
“Power of pure fire give us strength!”
He ran forward with great momentum but several dwarves were knocked out by the kicks the demon swung at them.
Boom!
“Cough!”
The fallen dwarves trembled and vomited blood.
Rick and Arin who had avoided the attack jumped in front of the fallen dwarves and stood before the giant demon.
“Cha-ha-ha!”
Rick charged at the demon with his sword. The Solma family’s secret technique the Five Light Sword Technique was unleashed.
Clang!
A swift sword aimed at the demon’s vital point.
But Masoo swung his arms at Rick as if swatting away a fly.
Oh my!
While Rick was dealing with the demon Arin created flames.
“Fire Lance!”
Advanced flame magic flew towards the demon in succession.
Kwakwakwang!
However even a fire lance could not deal damage to the demon who had withstood Arina’s lightning strike.
Kay who was behind also used magic to block the attack.
“Dig bound!”
In an instant the ground beneath the demon’s feet sank and vines shot out and caught the demon.
After confirming the effect of the magic Kay cast the magic again by overlapping it.
“Slow!”
In an instant Kay unleashed three spells without warning.
Kuuuuuu!
Fortunately Kay’s overlapping magic caught the demon’s movements.
Rick rushed at the slowed creature and stabbed it in the heart with his sword.
Phew!
His sword loaded with aura plunged deep into the demon’s heart.
Rick tried to pull out the sword from his heart but the strong muscles of the demon held Rick’s sword tightly.
“Ugh!”
Arin shouted at Rick.
“Rick! Get back!”
The demon that had been unable to move due to overlapping magic began to move again.
The guy swung his arm at Rick who was attached to his body.
Choaaaak!
Quaching!
In an instant the vines summoned by Kay grabbed Rick and dragged him along.
Grrrrrrrr!
Masoo slowly resumed his movements seemingly unharmed by Rick’s sword piercing his heart.
Everyone including Rick fell into despair.
At that time the wall that Jason had built was also slowly crumbling.
A giant demon roared and charged toward the group.
Grrrrrrrr!
pop!
In an instant the entire upper body of the roaring demon was blown away.
“uh?”
Rick who was right in front looked at the demon with only the lower half of his body remaining and made a blank expression.
The same goes for Kayna Arin.
They blinked and slowly turned their heads.
As the wall crumbled a familiar face appeared.
Black hair black eyes.
Zeke Draker had arrived.
Ughh …
Behind the dead demon’s body similarly sized demons were seen running.
Zeke picked up the giant hammer that he had used to blow away the dead demon’s body with his flying body.
It was the ‘Giant Hunter’ that I received from Tusin Tir.
Zig swung his giant hunter towards the oncoming demon.
Kkwadduk!
As the giant hunting technique imbued with gold was unleashed the beasts that were rushing towards him had their bodies blown away with a single blow just like before.
Zeke swung his giant hunter sword like a spirit moving between the demons.
Kwaaaaak!
The demons thrust their teeth and rushed at Zig more violently but with one blow of the hammer their teeth shattered their bones broke and their bodies burst.
Soon the dungeon corridors were filled with the corpses of demons.
thud!
After dealing with all the demons Zeke placed the giant hunter on the ground.
Then he took out healing potions from his inventory and distributed them to those who had fallen.
The injured dwarves quickly recovered thanks to Zeke’s healing potion.
After checking on the dwarves’ situation Zeke headed towards Arina who had been attacked by the demon and collapsed.
After checking the condition he quickly used healing and recovery on Arina.
Arina slowly opened her eyes as warm light seeped into her.
“Sir Zeke you’re here.”
“I’m really sorry I’m late Arina.”
Alice who had been sobbing behind him ran to Zeke and hung on to his back.
“Mr. Zeke! Oh my that was so scary!”
Zion and Ayran also seemed to take a breath and leaned against the wall catching their breath.
Zik said helping Arina up.
“This place is dangerous so let’s go to the camp. We’ve built a new base there so it’ll be safer than before.”
Zeke called the Cayman and Gurav units to escort them and safely transport them to the camp.
Those who safely arrived at the camp with Zeke’s help were left speechless when they saw the camp with walls made of bones.
Those who returned to camp after being surprised for a moment fell asleep as soon as they laid their heads down having not slept properly for several days.
Zig who had left them to rest called the group to a meeting the next day.
When everyone gathered he spoke to his companions.
“What is here is not Medusa.”
At that Rick asked Zeke.
“In legend Medusa is the only one known to have the ability to petrify. Are there any other monsters that have the ability to petrify?”
“There is something more dangerous.”
Zeke furrowed his brows and slowly opened his mouth.
“The four demons who are said to be the pinnacle of all demons. The Four Evils.”
He said with a sharp glint in his eyes.
“One of them Gung-gi is here.”
