A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 288



Episode 288

Wheeeeeeing!

A sharp wind and a chill that seemed like it would freeze their entire bodies enveloped Zig and his group.

Zeros also felt something was wrong and grabbed his staff with tension.

“Jek said holding the giant hunter.

“Please prepare some earth attribute magic Lord Zeros.”

Zeros was taken aback by those words.

“Huh? It’s not fire attribute?”

“Fire is useless against him anyway. It’s more effective to build a barrier to block the wind when an attack comes.”

In his previous life Zeke was also an ice-attribute monster so he used a fire-attribute scroll but it was completely useless.

Kiriririk!

A monster slowly appeared between the ice bones.

Zeke raised his sword nervously.

‘Here you go Ice King.’

The Ice King a boss-level monster that controls the Ice Bones walks on two feet unlike regular Ice Bones and is covered in cold wind and air.

Kwajijijik!

The place where Ice King steps is frozen.

The face and body were bare of bones with dried flesh sticking to them giving the appearance of a frozen mummy.

In his withered hands he held a staff made of solid ice.

The Ice King raised his staff and opened his mouth wide.

Kkaaaaaaah!

A scream that shook eardrums rang out.

At the same time the Iceborn rushed towards Zeke’s group.

Zeke shouted at Zeros.

“now!”

The moment Zeros unleashed his magic a sharp pillar rose from the solid ground.

Kaaaak!

Ice bones flailed around on sharp poles.

Zeke ran between the pillars and towards the Ice King.

Phew!

He swung his auror-engulfed titan hunter towards the Ice King.

Kwakang!

The ice crystals created by the Ice King stopped the giant hunters.

Kkwadduk!

White frost began to rise up from the part of the giant hunter that touched the ice crystal.

Zeke injected his aura to shake off the frost and swung the giant hunter again.

Then the Ice King held out his staff and emitted a strong light.

Saaaaaaaah!

A strong gust of wind and cold air blew toward Zig.

Patchit-

The sharp wind cut through Zig’s body.

If he were a normal knight his hands and feet would have frozen here and he would not be able to move any more.

A huge gust of wind blew towards Zeros and Michelle.

Zeros like a genius built a defensive wall as Zeke had suggested and blocked the blast.

At the same time he used bind magic to keep the Iceborn from going towards Zeke and attacked them with energy balls.

After seeing Zeros’ ability to cope Zeke smiled with satisfaction and equipped Hersion.

Clang!

The cold wind no longer had any effect on Zigg who was wearing Hersion.

Inside the helmet Zeke’s eyes glowed golden.

He slowly approached the Ice King.

The panicked Ice King raised his staff and summoned a stronger ice storm.

Its power was comparable to that of ‘Blizzard’ a high-level ice magic.

However it was useless against Hersion who had great magic defense capabilities. Furthermore Zig’s response did not end there.

Zeke stretched out his hand and used a magic countercurrent technique using Luther’s technique.

Jiiiiiing―

As the magic countercurrent technique unfolded light flickered from the ice staff that the Ice King was holding.

The power of the ice storm gradually diminished.

The embarrassed Ice King shouted again.

Then dozens of Iceborns rushed in from behind.

Zeke swung his giant hunter towards the oncoming Iceborn.

Boom!

When he struck down the giant hunter with aura the Iceborns were unable to withstand the force and their entire bodies were shattered and fell to the ground.

Before he knew it Zeke had approached Ice King again.

Ice King tried to use another spell but Zeke’s attack was faster.

Phew!

The giant hunter he swung blew off the Ice King’s entire arm.

Kkaaaaaaah!

As the Ice King let out a creepy sound and tried to retreat from Zeke Zeke threw the giant hunter he was holding at the Ice King.

Kwakwakwakwa!

The giant hunter with great strength blew off the Ice King’s entire upper body.

Passs …

The Ice King who was scattered into ice crystals also vaporized and disappeared.

As the Ice King disappeared the rushing Ice Bones also turned into ice crystals and scattered and the swirling ice storm also disappeared without a trace.

Zeke released Hersion and approached behind the barrier.

Michelle her beard covered in icicles was crouching and shivering while Zeros was preparing to make a hand seal with a cautious expression.

“Now that we’ve eliminated the Ice King you can come out.”

At Zeke’s words Zeros finally relaxed and slumped.

It was their first time in a dungeon and since it was a high-level dungeon they seemed to be quite mentally exhausted.

Zeke who had been observing the two decided to light a fire on one side of the dungeon and take a short break before his stamina depleted further.

Zeros was surprised when Zeke took out camping gear from his inventory skillfully started a fire and prepared food.

“Is this a subspace bag? I’ve never seen one that holds so many items.”

“It was discovered at an ancient ruins site.”

Now the lies just came out so naturally.

Zeros and Michelle nodded and warmed themselves up by drinking the warm beverages Zeke had given them.

Zick who was drinking warm tea next to her said while looking at Michelle who was eating the dried food.

“Michelle what is the item you need to find in a high-level dungeon like this?”

Michelle flinched at Zeke’s words and rolled her eyes.

“That that…..”

“If you don’t tell me I’ll just go back. By the way you need at least one knight to clear a high-level dungeon like this. And even if you bring them and the clearing is successful all the items you get from here will belong to them.”

Michelle’s face turned pale at Zeke’s words.

He hesitated and then spoke in a trembling voice.

“I need an elixir.”

Zeros was impressed by Michelle’s words.

“Elixir? Isn’t that something that only happens in legends?”

A legendary elixir that cures all illnesses and grants immortality if consumed.

It was a unique item as rare as the Philosopher’s Stone.

‘It’s an elixir….’

Unlike Zeros who did not believe in the existence of the elixir itself Zeke knew that this elixir existed.

‘Because it’s on the list of items that can be produced through the system.’

The problem was that many of the materials needed to make it were impossible to obtain so I couldn’t even think of making it and it also required 50000 karma points.

Zeke looked at Michelle and asked.

“What are you going to do with the elixir?”

At his words Michelle looked at Zeke with a trembling voice and said.

“There is someone I absolutely must save.”

“Are you sick?”

“It’s not rice disease… It’s something like rain.”

Zigg who has a dragon body can discern the truth hidden in words through his keen senses.

Surprisingly it was the most truthful thing Michelle had ever said.

Then Zeke said to Michelle.

“I’m sorry but the elixir won’t cure your illness.”

Michelle was taken aback by those words.

“What does that mean? How can I….”

“Elixir is not a panacea as the legends say. It is a type of alchemical ingredient.”

“That can’t be…”

“An elixir is a miraculous drug that allows substances that should not react to react with each other to react something that goes beyond the laws of the phenomenal world. It may be an age-old reagent for alchemists and magicians but taking it will not make you immortal or restore your body.”

This was the information on the elixir that Zeke had confirmed through the system.

I knew it was a precious reagent but I didn’t feel the need to spend 50000 karma points to make it so I didn’t even think about gathering the ingredients.

Michelle slumped at Zeke’s words.

Then Zeke sent a telepathic message to Michelle.

-Is there anyone in the Druid Village who needs treatment?

At Zeke’s words Michelle looked up and looked at him.

-I can read thoughts so speak to me in your mind.

Then Michelle thought of something in her mind.

-That’s right. It’s in the village.

-Okay I’ll cure him. In return take me to the lake of fairies.

Michelle’s eyes fluttered at Zeke’s words.

-How do you know about this fairy lake?

-I don’t think there’s any reason for me to tell you that.

Then Michelle rolled her eyes and thought of something.

-But how does Mr. Ki treat it?

-I am of the bloodline of Luverne. I can use healing.

-Hey healer! The power of miracles!

Michelle a Druid knew the Healer class.

Although her eyes were rolling back and forth Michelle had no choice.

What Zeke said about the elixir might not have been true but even if it was a lie there was no way to get the elixir without him.

– Oh I understand. If you go to the village with me and treat me I will guide you to the Fairy Lake.

-good night.

The deal with Michelle was done and since I had confirmed Zeros’ abilities there was no need to take the risk and bring them along.

Zeke said looking at Zeros.

“Lord Zero it seems like stronger monsters will appear in the future. If that happens it will be difficult for me to protect you two any longer.”

Zeros realized what Zeke meant.

“Are you planning to clear the dungeon alone?”

“The attack itself may be difficult but exploration seems possible. However if the two of you are together it will be difficult for me to escape in an emergency.”

Zeros’ shoulders slumped at the thought that he was of no help.

But even if I thought about it myself I thought it would be more helpful for Zeke to take Michelle out of here rather than being a bother by staying by his side.

Zeros nodded and said.

“Understood Sir Zeke. We will go up to the ground first.”

Michelle who would normally be stubborn seemed to have no more strength to fight back and obediently followed Zeros.

Zeke checked that Zeros and Michelle were leaving the dungeon and took out Roland.

“I think the Holy Fire will be more effective against the monsters that will come out in the future.”

Up until now he has not been using the Holy Fire because he could not show Zeros who is part of Nirvana using his skills.

However this dungeon was quite difficult to the point where you could sustain serious injuries if you continued to not use your abilities.

Zeke had planned to finish exploring this place before the other wizards arrived assuming that Zeros might report on the dungeon to Nirvana.

He summoned Richmond first.

Woohoo!

Richmond appeared before Zeke from the shadows.

“Ugh. Where is it that it’s so cold?”

“It is Aten.”

“Hmm Aten doesn’t seem like a place I have any good memories of.”

“Stop talking nonsense and get ready for battle. This is where most ice-attribute monsters come out so it’ll be more advantageous for the undead.”

Richmond grumbled and summoned the Dullahan and the Dragoons.

Zeke summoned a ghost soldier to scout out the area then led Richmond and the undead forces forward.

A few ice golems appeared here and there but they were broken by the Dullahan line.

‘It’s comfortable because I don’t have to run.’

It was quite frustrating for Zigg who had to move while hiding his power and protecting his party.

As Zig was moving forward while calmly defeating small monsters a giant door appeared in front of him.

‘It doesn’t look like the door to the 9th Circle Magician’s laboratory.’

It seemed that the magician’s laboratory that Zeke had seen in his past life was on the other side.

‘I guess I’ll take care of this first and then go to the lab to collect the artifacts.’

Zig used the system to manually change the door.

Durahan opened the door with all his might.

Kookookookookook!

A blast of cold air blasted out as the huge door opened.

The inside of the door was a world covered in frozen ice.

Richmond looked around as if he was curious.

“Wow master. There are so many ice statues here.”

There were ice statues of all shapes scattered around but in the middle stood one ice statue that gave off a mysterious aura.

Zeke was surprised when he saw the statue.

‘angel?’

When I first saw it it reminded me of an angel but when I looked closely it was completely different from the usual angel statues found in churches.

It had two pairs of wings six arms and its eyes were covered with cloth.

Zig slowly approached the giant angel statue.

The intricately carved angel statue looked ready to move at any moment.

‘Why did you bring this ice sculpture here?’

That was when.

A message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[The Sealed Constellation’s Incarnation has been discovered.]

[The security system is activated and the seal on the incarnation is released.]

[The Snow Queen the incarnation of the constellation ‘The One Who Promises Eternity’ awakens from her seal.]
