A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 275

Episode 275
As Zeke hesitated Simon shouted again loudly.
“I said shoot! Now!”
Zig’s hand holding the crossbow trembled.
Then Simon kicked Zeke’s leg with his foot.
Zig fell down with a thud.
Simon picked up the crossbow from the floor and aimed it at Zeke.
“If you don’t shoot you die.”
Zeke slowly got up and took the crossbow from Simon.
Then he turned and aimed his crossbow at the man holding the child.
He shot his crossbow at the man.
Pick!
The crossbow landed on the ground next to him not on the man. His shaking hands had caused him to miss his aim.
Zeke reloaded his crossbow again.
His hands were trembling.
He tried again to aim precisely at the man’s head.
That was when.
“Please save me…”
The child in the man’s arms trembled and pleaded with Zeke in a pitiful voice.
The child was innocent.
The only Soma production plant was located in this town.
An arrow was fired from the crossbow Zeke was holding.
puck!
“Ugh!”
An arrow was deeply embedded in the shoulder of the man who was holding the child.
Then the child hugged the man and shouted.

“Don’t shoot! Please save me!”
Before he knew it tears were flowing from Zeke’s eyes.
A sight I never wanted to see again.
He gradually felt his ego wavering and his mind collapsing.
Then Simon cried out
“If you don’t kill me you die! Kill me quickly!”
Zeke aimed his gun at the crying child his hands shaking.
Whenever I had a nightmare this scene always came up.
There Zeke killed everyone to survive and burned the village to cover his tracks.
He faithfully carried out Don Juan’s orders and became his dog spilling the blood of countless innocent people on his hands.
As he clenched his molars blood flowed from his mouth.
Zig slowly opened his mouth looking at the shivering child.
“…I can do it.”
Simon shouted again from behind.
“What are you talking about! Shoot me!”
In an instant Zeke turned around and aimed his crossbow at Simon who was shouting.
“You can change it again!”
Zeke shot his crossbow at Simon.
Shushu shushuk!
The fired arrow lodged itself in Simon’s body.
“Ugh.”
Simon stumbled back.
Zig dropped the crossbow and took a dagger from his bosom.
Then he approached the crying child.
Zig holding a dagger said as he wrapped his arms around the child.
“I will change things so that such a tragedy never happens again.”
Simon who was hit by an arrow staggered and shouted to his men.
“Kill that guy!”
The unit surrounded Zig.
Each and every one of them was a major force in the McCain cartel.
Zeke spoke to the child holding the dagger.
“Stay by my side.”
The child cried and was held in Zeke’s arms.
“I want to live… I want to live.”
“Zeke said holding the child in his arms.
“Don’t worry. I will protect you.”
The men came closer and closer to Zeke.

They aimed their crossbows at Zeke. Then they started shooting at Zeke from all sides.
Shushu shushuk!
Zig wrapped his arms around the child and blocked the arrow with his back.
Pubber pubber!
An arrow was stuck in his back.
“Ugh!”
Zeke groaned and held the child tighter.
The child cried out in his arms.
“Oh no! No!”
Zeke smiled faintly as he looked at the child.
“I am fine.”
He quickly rolled to the side holding the child in his arms. Then he started running into the forest avoiding the soldiers.
If it had been a real situation I would never have been able to escape but I was able to escape because I acted differently than in my past life.
“Whew whoosh!”
Zig tried to get out of here by walking through the forest with the child in his arms.
As he ran the arrows embedded in his back pierced Zeke’s lungs.
Ugh!
Even as he vomited red blood from his mouth Zeke ran and ran.
After a while of running when McCain’s men were out of sight Zeke put the child down and knelt down.
“…good.”
The child cried clinging to Zeke’s arms.
“Let’s go together!”
“I’m already late. Go quickly.”
Zeke stroked the child’s head with his bloody hands.
The child looked at Zig with a crying face.
Zeke vomited blood again.
The child cried louder and was held in Zeek’s arms.
Zeke moved slowly to hug the child one last time.
But then it happened.
Phew!
Zeke felt a terrible pain in his stomach.
“Cough…..”
The child grabbed the dagger from Zeke’s arms and stabbed him in the stomach.
Zeke looked at the child in disbelief.
“Oh why….”
The child who had been crying sadly glared at him resentfully and said.
“Why did you kill my father! Why! Why! You killed him!”
The child’s sharp voice pierced Zeke’s ears. Zeke reached out to the child trembling.
“I I will change… I will try to change….”
Then the child said slowly thrusting the dagger into Zeke’s heart.
“You can’t change anything.”
In an instant the child’s expression changed completely.
Zeke’s eyes fluttered and then sagged losing focus.
The boy who stabbed the heart confirmed Zeke’s end shook his bloody hands and stood up.
“What a tenacious guy. This is the first time I’ve seen someone with such strong willpower.”
Usually when you draw people into your fantasy they quickly forget who they were because they are so immersed in the fantasy that it seems so real.
But this guy named Zigg had such strong mental defenses that no matter how strong the illusions were instead of losing his sense of self he resisted even more strongly.
Because of that he had to set the stage for amplifying the trauma more quickly in case the illusion was shattered in the middle.
The demon in the form of a child snickered as he looked at the fallen Zeke.
“Anyway that’s great. If someone this strong is in your possession I can take over their body and use them for good. I can come out to the phenomenal world in my original body. The apostles have discovered something very interesting…”
Phew!
“Cough!”
At that moment Annex’s dagger was thrust into the child’s back.
At the same time the chain connected to the dagger wrapped around the child’s entire body.
Charararak!
Black smoke rose from where the chain touched.
Cheeeeek!
“Kwaaah!”
The demons who were caught in the soul sealing technique returned to their original form not as children.
The identity of the beautiful demon was revealed to be that of a man or woman but rather because of that she had a beautiful and neutral face.
“Kwaaah!”
The demon barely managed to raise his head and look ahead in pain.
Zeke who was clearly thought to be completely mentally dead was slowly getting up with a dagger stuck in his heart.
The demon looked at Zeke with an expression of disbelief and said:
“Uh how?”
Zeke pulled out the dagger stuck in his heart without a second thought.
Soon the cheap dagger he was holding was transformed into Bahamut.
He spoke as he slowly approached the chained demon.
“You’ve really messed with my head. A high-level dream demon version.”
Pan was surprised that Zeke knew his name.
“How could you say my name…!”
Zigg slowly approached the board and said.
“That’s none of your business. That’s important.”
Zeke stabbed the tip of Bahamut’s sword which he had heated with a holy flame into Pan’s stomach.
Cheeeeek!
“Kuaaaah!”
Pan screamed in excruciating pain. He looked at Zeke with an expression of disbelief even in the midst of it all.
“Hey this is an illusion I created. There’s no way I can feel pain…”
“It was based on my dreams. So strictly speaking this is my territory.”
At Zeke’s words Pan’s pupils shook greatly.
The Dreamers follow one of the fallen constellations the ‘Endless Dreamer’.
Among the numerous demons Pan held the position of a high-level demon as a direct subordinate of the constellation.
Even among the same high-level demons most of them were unable to escape the illusion of the board and lost their sense of self.
But it was a mere human being who broke the illusion of the labyrinthine world and subdued him mentally.
Zig asked slowly injecting the flame of the Holy Spirit into Pan’s body.
“What did they discover that allowed a high-level demon like you to appear in the real world?”
Pan laughed at Zig.
“Do you think I would tell you that! You lowly human being….”
Zick nodded while looking at the board.
“Well to put it simply it’s not fun. After all what you did to me.”
In an instant a holy fire rose up around the body of the plate.
Pan’s face turned pale as he watched the holy fire filled with the power of light burn fiercely.
“Hey hey what are you planning to do!”
Zeke put down Bahamut and took out Annexy’s dagger.
Then he wrapped a chain around the plate’s mouth and blocked it.
“Eeeeek!”
The plate which had its mouth blocked shook its body and tried to escape somehow but it was no use.
Zigg holding the Dangun dagger in the flames of the Holy Fire looked at the board.
“Don’t worry there’s no danger of death. I’ll take my time and put my heart and soul into making you suffer.”
“Eeeeek!”
* * *
Several hours passed as Zeke stood blankly before the altar.
Richmond paced back and forth nervously looking at Zeke.
“Ugh why are you just standing there without any reaction? Should I really take you out?”
Richmond was helpless without Zeke’s orders.
At that moment white light burst out from Zeke’s body.
“Huh?”
Richmond stepped back in horror avoiding the light.
Zig who had been unresponsive the whole time opened his eyes wide.
Tsk tsk tsk―
Then soon black smoke began to pour out from Zeke’s body.
At the same time Solomon’s ring on Zeke’s finger began to glow golden.
As Zeke came to his senses a message appeared before his eyes.
[Sealed the high-level demon dream horse ‘Pan’ in Solomon’s ring.]
[It is possible to use the unique ability ‘Illusion’ of the dream horse ‘Pan’ once a day.]
After interrogating Pan in the spirit world Zeke sealed him within Solomon’s Ring.
After testing Solomon’s Ring it seems that it is possible to seal even the highest level demons.
When Zeke examined the Solomon ring on his finger he saw small unfamiliar letters engraved on the surface of the cardboard.
[It is a seal symbolizing the board.]
Aratasso said to Zeke.
‘Do all high-level demons have seals like this?’
[Yes most of the higher-level demons are incarnations of the constellations. They can directly use the power of the constellations so they are granted these individual seals.]
Zeke nodded at Aratasso’s words.
Then Richmond who had been avoiding the light ran towards Zeke.
“Master!”
Richmond clung to Zeke with a tearful face.
“What happened? I was worried because you were just standing there for so long!”
“The apostle brought the upper-level demon into the world of phenomena.”
Richmond was surprised by Zeke’s words.
“The incarnation of a higher-level demon. Is that possible?”
Zeke nodded at Richmond’s words.
“Yeah it looks like the Abyss guys have found a way.”
I was able to find out quite a bit by interrogating the board.
The fact that such baptismal sites existed all over the continent and how they were able to manifest the upper-level demons into the phenomenal world.
“Have you ever heard of something called the Richmond Bloodstone?”
Richmond’s eyes widened at his words.
“Are you talking about tongue hemorrhage?”
“Yes. They said they found a way to use the bloodstone to manifest a higher-level demon.”
Richmond’s eyes fluttered at Zeke’s words.
He muttered asking himself the question.
“Did the blood stone have such a function?”
Zeke noticed something and asked Richmond.
“Do you know anything about blood stones?”
Richmond nodded.
“Oh I know that but… Bloodstones only occur naturally under very specific conditions so it’s nearly impossible to obtain them.”
Richmond continued his explanation slowly.
“The blood of those who died with deep resentment seeps into the fairy stone and after a long time it turns red like blood. This is called a blood stone.”
“The fairy stone is filled with resentment.”
“Yes the bloodstones found in nature are mostly wounded monsters that die in places where there are fairy stones and their blood seeps into them and transforms them but the probability of this happening is very low.”
“If it’s to that extent it won’t be enough to summon….”
Then Richmond rolled his eyes and said quietly.
“That’s right master. Actually… there is a way to artificially create a blood stone.”
“You can make a blood stone? Is this a method that all warlocks can do?”
Then Richmond shook his head and said
“Of course not! The method of making it is so complicated that not only is there no one who can do it but the method of making it itself has not been made public to begin with.”
Zeke tilted his head at those words.
“But how do you know that method?”
Richmond said scratching his cheek.
“Actually I created that recipe. Hehe.”
