A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 280



Episode 280

“Six spells at once?”

Zeros nodded at Zeke’s question and returned the stereoscopic image.

“Yes I’ll show you a little slowly. In fact what’s great about the magic of verbs is that it’s not only a non-lethal spell but also the combinations that can be made depending on the properties of the magic are incredible.”

Zeros explained each and every magic that unfolded in an instant.

“What you see is lightning freezing and flame magic but in fact the supporting magic was applied first.”

“What kind of auxiliary magic are you talking about?”

“At first a slow was applied to slow down the knight’s speed and then lightning magic was activated completely stopping his movements. Next grease was applied to reduce friction making him lose his balance then freezing was used to harden his body and if you look closely confusion was applied here. Since the mental magic worked and the fire magic was applied at the same time he was helpless.”

“So you didn’t use any major magic from the beginning but rather used auxiliary magic to create a gap and then increased the effectiveness of the magic.”

“That’s right. In fact battle magicians today also use this combination to cast spells but it’s difficult to cast spells without a spear and the magic circle that can be used like that is also low so it’s not very useful. Knights can dodge that level of magic or break through it and then cut it down with their swords.”

Zeke nodded to Zeros’ words.

On the battlefield battle mages were used to cast area-of-effect spells that could damage many enemies at once even if it took time.

The residual attack was more effective when the surrounding archers used bows or crossbows.

In addition since magic of 3 circles or higher was effective against ordinary soldiers or sieges magicians who could use high circle area-of-effect skills were much more preferred than combination-type attacks.

‘I can use the Muyeongchang so it would be much more advantageous for me to use not only wide-area skills but also auxiliary magic in combination.’

Since it was possible to acquire skills by absorbing artifacts through gluttony it was also possible to obtain auxiliary skills.

It’s just that I didn’t feel the need to use such low circle magic as a skill so I didn’t use it until now.

Zeke asked Zeros.

“Could you please show me some information on the linking skills and auxiliary skills that are mainly used in the magic of the Unmoving Spear?”

When Zeke showed interest in his research Zeros got excited and ran into his room to get all of his research materials.

“Huk huk here it is. Sir Zeke.”

Zeke calmly looked over the research materials Zeros had brought.

‘There’s a lot of theoretical content.’

Zig decided to save all the contents for now and search them slowly.

‘The system should save all of this content.’

The system linked to Zeke’s vision and stored all of Zeros’ research materials in a secure storage vault.

[Saving completed. Please specify a name.]

‘Theory of Magic Without a Window.’

After a while Zig who had roughly decided on a name for the message that came to his mind pretended to look through the information and then asked about the combination formulas that wizards mainly use.

I heard a lot of interesting things from Zeros about the basics of battle magic.

“Just like swordsmanship magic also has a basic style.”

“Yes if a wizard fights a wizard the most important thing is actually defensive skills.”

“Why don’t you just attack first?”

Zeros shook his head.

“In the case of magic it’s difficult because if the opponent defends against the magic I used and it comes back to me the damage is much greater.”

“The timing of the first strike is very important.”

“That’s right. The battle between wizards is similar to chess. You have to play without wasting a single move in order to exploit an opening.”

Hickson shook his head at Zeros’ words.

“Sir Zeke what Zeros said won’t be of much help. That guy is a top-level Warlock so it’s possible. It’s rare to find someone who can use combat magic with such precision. When he was out his nickname was ‘Artist.’”

“Artist?”

Zeros scratched his head at Zeke’s words and said.

“Because I am a battle mage I use my magic delicately.”

Zick intrigued by the nickname “Artist” asked with shining eyes.

“Is there a place like a training ground here?”

Zeros was surprised by Zeke’s words.

“Yes? There is a battle magic practice room but… No way?”

He nodded.

“Please give me a hand.”

Hickson clapped his hands in delight.

“Hey that sounds fun. Magical combat is your specialty. Show me what you’ve got.”

Zeros hesitated and nodded his head after thinking about it.

“Hmm that would be great! My skills are lacking but if I could work with Sir Zeke!”

At those words Hickson became excited and went to the wall picked up the receiver hanging on the wall and shouted.

“Hey! You damn losers! Zeros is going to battle Sir Zeke Draker!”

Hickson put the receiver back on and grabbed the door next to him.

“Come this way. The practice room is downstairs.”

Zick chuckled at Hickson’s reaction got up and followed him. As soon as he opened the door an elevator appeared.

Zeke went down in the elevator with Hickson and Zeros.

After getting off the elevator passing through a narrow hallway and opening the door a wide open space appeared.

‘Is this the magic practice room?’

It was a space that looked like an indoor gymnasium with magic stones embedded in the ceiling and a control device in operation in the center.

There were several circles of different sizes drawn on the floor.

Hickson pointed to the largest of the circles.

“Okay stand over there. Then I’ll turn it on.”

As Hickson approached the center and touched the control device a translucent wall slowly appeared from the circle forming a dome.

Zeke looked at the translucent dome with curiosity.

“That’s strange. Is this a protective shield?”

Zeros nodded.

“Yes. After all you never know where magic will go.”

Hickson said to Zeke.

“I’ll explain the rules to you Sir Zeke. First of all you can’t take off your gloves. You can use your Aura but you can’t use your Aura Blade. However Zeros can only use magic up to the 4th circle.”

This was my first formal duel with a wizard so I didn’t know much about it but it seemed like there were rules to the duel.

It was when Zeke nodded and drew Bahamut and stood facing Zeros.

Suddenly the practice room door opened and people rushed in.

They were wizards but they all had dark circles under their eyes and haggard faces.

A horde of zombie-like wizards appeared and swarmed about.

“Oh. Zeros is really fighting.”

“Wow that’s precious. That’s precious.”

Then Hickson raised his hand.

“Come on you damn losers the market is open. Let’s get started.”

The wizards raised their hands at Hickson’s words.

“I bet 10 pesos to Zeros!”

“I give 20 pesos to Zeros!”

Zeke tilted his head as he listened to the wizards’ story.

“What is a peso? I’ve never heard of it before.”

At those words Zeros scratched his cheek and said.

“It’s like a virtual currency that only works within Nirvana.”

“I understand currency but what is virtual currency?”

“Hmm. I guess it’s a currency that has monetary value but doesn’t actually exist.”

Zeke didn’t ask any further questions and just nodded.

The one thing that bothered me the most was Zigg who didn’t like being a headache.

“Anyway it’s currency. Can it be converted into gold?”

“Yes. The current price is about 10 pesos to 1 gold.”

“Zeke said looking at Hickson.

“Is there anyone who can give it to me?”

Then Hickson shook his head.

“Zeke said with a smile.

“I’ll bet you ten thousand pesos.”

Hickson’s mouth opened wide at Zeke’s words.

The wizards nearby heard Zeke’s words and bet more pesos without exception.

But surprisingly everyone bet on Zeros not Zeke.

That meant that the wizards of Nirvana had faith in Zeros’ abilities.

Zeros looked slightly embarrassed as Hickson raised his hand and shouted.

“Okay then! Let the battle begin!”

As soon as the fight began Zeke charged at Zeros with his sword drawn.

Phew!

Zeke lightly slashed at Zeros with his sword.

Then Zeros’ body disappeared leaving behind only an afterimage and appeared behind Zeke.

At the same time Zeros stretched out his hands and a magic circle appeared in each of his hands.

Woohoo!

A Greek spell was activated to remove friction from under Zeke’s feet and a confusion spell was aimed at Zeke to increase his confusion.

If it had been a normal article I would have panicked lost my balance and fallen over.

But Zeke was different.

Pot!

He stuck his sword into the floor and turned sideways leaving the area where Greece was caught.

At the same time he quickly closed the distance with a welcoming attack and struck.

Whee!

Then Zeros’ body quickly slid back as if he was gliding and he waved his hand to cast a spell.

Pavababak!

Small explosions occurred next to Zeke’s legs arms and ears.

At the same time Zeros flicked his hand.

Eeeeeing!

That was a technique that Zeke also knew.

‘Is it dissonance?’

The combination of dissonance and flashbang was a technique that Zeke often used during his Blue Knight days.

Zeros also seemed to like that combination as he floated a ball of light in his hand and threw it at Zeke causing it to explode.

Woohoo!

A powerful light burst before Zeke’s eyes and the entire surrounding area was engulfed in a flash.

Zeros didn’t stop there but formed a seal and prepared his magic.

Four magic circles appeared on his body.

The wizards including Hickson were amazed at the sight.

“Wow I’m tired. Launching four Yeonseongjin at the same time.”

“This is crazy. Seriously.”

“That can’t be stopped.”

The four magic circles floating in the air gradually grew larger and flew in all directions toward where the flash occurred.

As the location was fixed Zeros’ magic was activated.

Phage phage phage!

Lightning magic was activated simultaneously from four fixed magic circles.

Each one was a 4-circle Raiden magic but when all four were activated at the same time their power was comparable to that of the 5-circle magic Mega Raiden.

“This is crazy. Quadruple stack magic.”

“As expected he is an artist. Art.”

However Zeros’ expression while he was casting his magic was completely frozen.

‘Why is there no response?’

As much as he respected Zeke Zeros unleashed the strongest magic he could without holding back. He believed that he could not be defeated to this extent.

But since there was no response from Zeke I started to get a little worried.

Then the flash cleared and the sight within was revealed.

Phage phage phage!

Surprisingly Bahamut which had been stuck in the ground was absorbing Zeros’ lightning magic and sending it downwards.

But Zeke was nowhere to be seen.

At that moment Zeros sensed something unusual behind him.

Phew!

Zeke was pushing the regime towards Zeros.

Zeros twisted his body and moved towards Blink.

Pavat!

His face appearing from the other side of the stadium was pale.

Even though Zeke’s regime only brushed against my side my lungs felt like they were being stabbed every time I breathed.

‘Is this the power of a knight?’

It was certainly unfolding in a completely different way from the battle between wizards.

Zeros withdrew his lightning magic and took up his stance again.

Zeke walked over slowly and picked up Bahamut again which he had placed in the center.

The wizards who were watching the two swallowed dry saliva.

Surprisingly it was Zero who moved first.

He instantly levitated dozens of magic missiles into the air and fired them at Zeke.

Pavabababak!

Magic missiles flew towards Zeke from all directions timed to coincide.

Zeke raised his sword and deflected the magic missile while Zeros stepped back and made a hand gesture to put some distance between himself and Zeke.

Woohoo!

A magic circle was engraved on the floor and something started to pop out from within it.

Oh my!

A summoned creature made of wood leaped out and blocked Zeke’s path.

‘Is that a stump? It’s not easy to see.’

Rather than a monster it was closer to a spirit created from an old tree.

Grrrrrr!

Stump reached out and grabbed Zeke.

He dashed forward striking the trunk of the stump with Bahamut and then suddenly unleashed a dragon-slaying technique at the stump.

Choaaaah!

Zeke’s sword split Stump’s torso in half.

Grrrrr!

As Stump’s summoning was lifted the tree trunks disappeared sinking into the ground.

The onlookers were amazed when the stump disappeared in one blow.

“Wow that’s crazy. Stumps in one hit…”

“I guess that’s the Dragon Slayer technique. It’s insanely powerful.”

“At that level even defensive magic won’t be of any use.”

After defeating Stump Zeke turned around and ran towards Zero.

In the meantime Zeros formed a bond with Suin and completed his magic.

Wooooow!

Six magic circles appeared behind Zeros’ back.

The wizards who saw this opened their mouths wide.

“Crazy sextuplet?”

“That’s a real dog.”

Wooooow!

The magic circle began to vibrate and a whip of flame shot out from within it.

Clang! Clang!

A lash of flame flew towards Zeke grabbing his limbs.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

As Zeke’s body was restrained Zeros’ true magic was activated.

Kookookookookook!

A fire giant appeared from his magic circle and rushed towards Zeke.
