A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 272



Episode 272

‘This is crazy….’

As soon as he entered the place of consciousness the first thing Zeke felt was a terrible stench and the smell of blood among it.

The space I looked around while calming my anger was a wide cavity carved out of a rock salt cave. Inside a stone altar had been built and on top of the altar dark red byproducts were strewn about.

Robed figures hurriedly ran towards the wizard who had come in with the mines.

“Are you here Master?”

Then out of the blue the wizard slapped the faces of those in front of him.

Crash! Crash! Crash!

The sound of cheeks being slapped echoed through the salt caves.

The wizards had to stand still and endure all the wizard’s strikes until their cheeks turned red.

The wizard who had slapped the cheek looked down at the men with contemptuous eyes and spoke.

“You idiots.”

“I’m sorry Master.”

The wizard took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands saying:

“Where did he go?”

“It is presumed that they have not yet left the mine.”

At those words the wizard kicked the robed man who had just spoken in the stomach with his foot causing him to fall backwards.

“You idiots don’t even know that your test subject is going wild! Are your heads full of shit?”

Despite the wizard’s harsh words the men could not say anything and had to listen in silence.

The wizard spoke with a frown on his face as he looked at those men.

“You damn bastards. Go get a few demons to chase the test subjects. Have the others clean up the place. The higher-ups will be here soon. Come to your senses you idiots!”

“Understood Master!”

At the wizard’s command the robed men ran hurriedly.

A few people brought buckets and began to clear away the debris on the altar.

The wizard watched this with an annoyed expression.

Zeke hid and thought about what the wizard had said earlier.

‘The higher-ups are coming? Are the higher-ups from the abyss coming here?’

I needed more information from the wizard.

‘The test subject ran wild and escaped. I think I can use this to my advantage.’

Zeke’s body became more blurred and completely melted into the darkness.

At that moment the sound of demons crying could be heard from afar.

Krrrrrrrr―

After a while robed men arrived leading several dog-like creatures by leashes.

The demons drooled and tried to struggle out of instinct but the leashes that bound them forced them to obey their commands obediently.

The wizard said annoyed.

“Release the restraints.”

The wizard’s disciples released the leashes of the demons with trembling hands.

As the restraints were released the demons reacted fiercely.

At that moment the wizard raised his hand and controlled the demons.

As he muttered and recited the spell the demons became calm for a moment and came towards the wizard.

Then he ran up to the altar and sniffed around.

The wizard spoke to the demons.

“Remember that smell. And find the escaped test subject.”

Krrrrrr!

The dog-like demons immediately turned around and started running towards some cave.

Kaaaak!

The wizard shouted to his disciples.

“What are you standing there stupidly for? Get those filthy things out of here!”

The disciples began to run around in panic at the wizard’s shout.

“Those kind of people are called disciples… Damn it.”

He grumbled and led the minions after his disciples.

The wizard who entered the salt cave felt something strange.

“Something is strange…..”

As a warlock he was quite suspicious.

That was when.

Break it!

A strange sound was heard and the spirits of the demons sent to catch the runaway were no longer felt.

“What the hell!”

The wizard ran quickly.

Traces of the demons were found inside the tunnel from which one of the disciples crawled out bleeding.

“Master Ma save me…”

Clang!

At that moment when the wizard was unable to respond something wrapped around the disciple and pulled him inward.

Kkwadduk!

A loud noise was heard inside the tunnel.

The wizard frowned.

“This is becoming a nuisance.”

He gave orders to the minions behind him.

Buck! Buck! Buck!

As the mines entered the tunnel first the wizard led them ahead and followed carefully behind.

Then something shot out from the ground and wrapped itself around the minions’ legs.

thud!

Half of the mines’ bodies were dug into the ground.

Immediately the wizard raised his staff and struck the floor.

“Die!”

Kururururung!

As the wizard cast his spell the entire earth shook.

Kieeeek!

Then somewhere else the ground shook and a monster with tentacles growing out of its body staggered forward.

It was the runaway test subject the wizard was looking for.

The mines that had been stuck in the ground rose again and rushed at the outraged test subject.

Woohoo!

Magic energy rose from the swords drawn by the mines.

The minions swung their magic-charged swords at the test subject.

Kwakwakwang!

In an instant the tentacles growing on the subject’s body stretched out like whips and struck the mines’ bodies.

Keeeeeeek!

As the subject shouted at the mines tentacles suddenly shot out and wrapped around them.

Clang!

As the minions tried to cut off the tentacles with their swords the test subject began to absorb the magical energy in the minions’ bodies with his tentacles.

Gulp gulp gulp―

When the magic was absorbed by the test subject the mines were unable to move and could only tremble.

The wizard who was watching this from behind made a surprised expression.

“Absorbs magic? That’s an amazing ability.”

He watched the situation unfold without helping wondering how the subject would react after absorbing the magic.

Soon the tentacles fell off the minions’ bodies and the minions who had all their magic sucked out fell powerlessly to the ground.

The helmet rolled away and the faces of the minions were revealed all of them transformed into mummies.

The wizard also observed this phenomenon with interest.

Kkuddddddd!

The body of the test subject who absorbed magic was seen gradually changing.

Kaaaaaaah!

The tentacles that had been writhing around unpleasantly became entangled inside the body and a hard shell grew on the surface of the body.

Then the subject’s body began to change as if he was wearing armor.

The wizard laughed heartily at the sight.

“Hahaha! Oh my goodness the experiment was successful! We revived the demons!”

The transformed face of the test subject looked like a cross between an ant and a grasshopper.

Krrrrrr—

The completely transformed test subject looked at the wizard moving the antennae on its head.

Condensed magic energy poured out from the subject’s body.

The wizard smiled and aimed his wand at the subject.

“I will tear you apart and experiment on you. Consider it an honor for it will be the cornerstone of a great undertaking.”

Black smoke poured out of the wizard’s wand. The smoke slowly enveloped the test subject.

Krrrrrr!

The subject sensed something strange and tried to step back but the smoke had already bound the subject’s body.

Kaaaaaaah!

The restrained subject screamed.

The wizard who saw that sight smiled and spoke to the subject.

“Idiot. Do you think a test subject can escape these restraints?”

Smoke rose all over the subject’s body and the subject fell to the floor.

You rolled around on the floor unable to move.

The wizard looked down at the test subject and said:

“There’s no use resisting. Just obey my orders…”

The wizard who had been speaking with a sneer suddenly began to tremble.

“Euuuuuu.”

Someone slowly walked towards the wizard whose body had frozen.

Zeke approached the wizard who was bound by the shadow domination.

The wizard glared at Zeke his eyes wide in disbelief.

Zeke said looking at the wizard.

“I’ll take back what you said. I’m telling you to just quietly hand over the information because resisting is useless.”

The wizard trembled and tried to free himself from the shadow’s control but it was no use.

Meanwhile Zeke took out a chain and wrapped it around the wizard’s body performing a soul sealing technique.

He said as he dragged the wizard deeper into the tunnel.

“Now let’s have a deeper conversation.”

* * *

Kookung!

The door to the salt mine opened and a black carriage entered.

Purrrrrrr―

The horse took a deep breath and muttered.

After a while people in black robes got out of the carriage one by one.

They all had bald heads and no eyebrows but one of them had a strange pattern branded on his forehead.

As they got off and lined up to the side someone got off last.

Phew! Phew!

A tall man wearing a beak-shaped leather mask like those worn by doctors during the Holy Empire under his black robes stepped out of the carriage with a dignified posture.

Others bowed their heads solemnly toward him.

At that moment a black magician hurriedly ran out from inside.

He approached the man wearing a mask shivering.

“Your Majesty! I am truly sorry. There was an accident at the baptismal hall a few days ago…”

Then the wizard with the brand on his forehead interrupted him and spoke in a low voice.

“Where is the manager?”

“That’s it. He was injured while controlling the test subject and is recovering. Most of the others were injured as well…”

The branded wizard looked down at him with disgust and said:

“The apostle has arrived. Tell him to come down immediately and welcome him.”

At that moment a masked man called the Apostle whispered something in a small voice that was barely audible.

The wizard nodded after hearing the apostle’s words.

“The Apostle wants to see the experimental subject reported first so please guide him.”

“Oh I understand.”

Those who were preparing carefully took the apostles and magicians to the place where the test subjects were restrained.

Everywhere we went we saw broken walls and destroyed prison cells.

The magician who had been relaying the apostle’s words earlier opened his mouth while looking at the broken facilities.

“Was this all destroyed by the test subject?”

“Yes yes. That’s right. The subject broke into the prison and ate all the sacrifices inside.”

At those words the wizard furrowed his brow and spoke in a low voice.

“The manager will be held strictly accountable for this matter.”

It was a time when one sacrifice was lacking for a greater baptism.

In particular among the offerings the children who were not yet tainted by dirt were the best.

It was a great shame to waste such a precious offering.

The apostles and the bald wizards said nothing more and went to where the test subject was being restrained.

Those standing in front of the thick iron door nodded as if to tell them to open it.

The warlock who had been guiding us opened the iron door trembling with fear.

Kookookookook!

The iron door opened and the apostles and bald wizards entered.

Krrrrrr—

The chained subject looked at the wizards and made threatening sounds.

Then the bald wizards took out their wands and aimed them at the test subjects.

Kookookookook!

The subject was unable to control his body due to the invisible pressure and fell to the floor.

Krrrrrrrr―

Then the apostle behind him slowly approached the subject stretched out his hand and read the subject’s aura.

The apostle who had been standing still for a while slowly lowered his hand.

Then he called the branded wizard with a gesture.

When he muttered something in a low voice into the wizard’s ear the wizard was startled to hear his words.

“Is that true? Apostle! If the restoration experiment is successful we can hasten the great undertaking. We must report this to Him immediately…”

thud!

In an instant the thick iron door closed.

The branded wizard shouted.

“How dare you! The apostle is here! Open the door right now!”

That was when.

Something slowly walked out of the darkness.

For a moment the apostle flinched and stepped back.

Inside his mask his eyes rolled and glowed with red light.

The wizard who had been branded with the apostle’s strange reaction asked in surprise.

“Oh my dear Apostle. Why are you doing this?”

As the apostle muttered again the branded wizard moved closer to him.

“I can’t hear you very well Apostle.”

That was when.

Kkieeeeeeeeing―

A sharp sound echoed throughout the space.

At that moment a terrible screeching sound like scraping an iron wall came out from the apostle.

[Zeke Draker! That’s Zeke Draker!]

In response to the apostle’s reaction Zeke took a step closer holding Annexy’s dagger.

“I finally caught you. You damn apostle of the abyss.”
