A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 290



Episode 290

Tsk tsk tsk!

The surface of Zeke’s Hersion froze as he flew through the ice storm but he did not stop.

Zeke’s sword imbued with the Astral Sword advanced forward tearing through the very realm created by the Snow Queen.

The Snow Queen who had one arm melted by the White Flame stepped back in confusion at the sight of Zeke’s sword imbued with extraordinary power.

[Kkaaaah!]

The Snow Queen spread her wings and waved them causing silver feathers to fly out and freeze everything around her.

Even the air was frozen making it difficult to breathe.

If I breathed that air it felt like my lungs would freeze.

Kwakwakwakwa!

But Zeke’s sword did not stop and he charged towards the Snow Queen tearing through the area created by the silver feathers.

As the Snow Queen raised her hand ice crystals gathered together to form a shield.

Kkwadduk!

Bahamut armed with the Astral Sword even pierced through the shield created by the Queen.

[Kaaaaaaah!]

The Snow Queen let out a terrible scream abandoning all pretense of dignity.

Zeke’s sword was stuck right in the center of the queen’s chest.

Tsk tsk tsk!

The Queen whose realm of origin was destroyed by the Astral Sword began to develop tiny cracks all over her body.

Zeke thrust his sword deeper into the queen’s body.

In an instant the queen removed the cloth that had been covering her eyes.

There were two blue gems where the eyes should be.

Light flashed from the jewel.

Kwakwakwakwa!

In an instant the place the jewel was pointed at was completely frozen.

It was literally ‘absolutely below zero’ territory.

Feeling threatened by the absolute zero zone created by the queen’s gaze Zeke hastily drew his sword retreated grabbed the scabbard and used his spirit transformation skill.

Tsk tsk tsk―

Zeke’s body crossed over to the border of the spirit world.

But the absolute zero zone has penetrated even into the cracks of the spiritual world.

‘Ugh!’

Zigg escaped the absolute zero realm while in a spirit state and returned to the phenomenal world.

Fortunately since I avoided it by crossing the dimensional boundary it only ended with frost forming on my armor.

If it had been even a little bit later Zeke’s body would have frozen along with Hersion.

Zeke floating in the air aimed his sword at the queen who had cracks all over her body.

The queen stroked her parted chest with both hands while cupping her eyes with the other two.

[How dare you! How dare you a lowly human!]

Ice crystals fell from the Queen’s body and then they transformed into small birds.

Before long countless birds were circling around the queen.

Zeke took up his sword again.

However because I used the Elemental Sword and Astral Sword consecutively my mana was almost depleted.

If it were a normal monster it would have been easy to use Gluttony but the monsters created by the Snow Queen quickly disintegrated into ice crystals so it was impossible to use Gluttony properly and mana recovery was slow.

Zeke held his sword and took a deep breath.

‘If we don’t catch the queen here she will surely grow stronger and more powerful later on.’

Just like the Four Evil Kings the Snow Queen seemed to absorb power and grow as she expanded her territory.

Zeke grabbed his sword and drew out the power of his spirit.

Woohoo!

If the Astral Sword was a sword that touched the source of existence then Honshinki was a technique that struck the soul.

The Queen was currently wounded at the source so if she could attack with all her might and strike her soul it was clear that her very existence would be shattered.

Then the Snow Queen shouted at the ice birds she had just created.

[Kill that guy!]

Thousands of ice birds with blade-like wings rushed toward Zeke.

The flock of ice birds rushing in shedding white light looked beautiful on the outside but the cold they contained was enough to freeze an entire city in an instant.

Zeke raised his spirit level and entered a state of spiritual power.

Kookookookook―

I felt my body strain as I drew up my soul’s power while my mana was almost depleted.

‘Ugh.’

Zeke clenched his teeth and focused all his strength into his sword.

He assumed the posture of the Infinite Sword and simultaneously recited the words of the Spiritual Mantra.

Honshinki

Double Spell

The will to break through

Zeke’s body holding a sword became one sword and collided with a flock of flying ice birds.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!

Zeke charged straight through the storm of ice blades created by the ice birds.

“Haaaaaaah!”

As a long spear cut through the storm the ice birds shattered and scattered in his wake.

Kugugugugugu―

Zeke who had passed through the ice storm raised his sword and rushed at the Snow Queen.

Then the Snow Queen made a hand sign with her five remaining hands and a round mirror appeared before her.

The light reflected from the mirror poured down towards the rushing Zig.

Cheeeeeeek!

The light produced by the mirror was not cold but extremely hot.

Bahamut who was hit directly by the light turned red.

If Bahamut had not possessed the property of indestructibility it would have clearly melted.

Bahamut charged through the blazing light shattering the mirror the queen had created.

“Ugh!”

The tip of Bahamut’s sword barely reached the queen.

The Queen looked down at Zeke and said.

[You insolent human beings. You will be our slaves forever.]

Before she knew it a sharp ice sword was in the Queen’s hand.

[Know that it is an honor to die by my hand!]

Just as the Queen was about to swing her ice sword at Zeke a green light flowed out from the green sword Arataso that Zeke was carrying on his back.

Woohoo!

In an instant light gathered and Aratasso was summoned.

Boom!

Aratasso swung his spear and blew off the queen’s sword-wielding arm.

He shouted at Zeke.

[Nephilim will regenerate if not completely destroyed!]

At Aratasso’s words Zeke put down the Bahamut he was holding and took out Roland.

Because I ran out of mana I couldn’t raise my aura and that’s when I remembered that Roland was a jewel sword.

Zeke activated the jewel magic engraved on Roland.

Wooooow!

[Skills are activated randomly.]

[The will of the Emerald is activated.]

Phage phage phage!

Roland unleashed a massive thunderbolt at the Snow Queen.

[Kkaaaah!]

The queen screamed after being struck by lightning.

Zeke took advantage of the gap and consumed a large amount of mana recovery potions that he had in his inventory.

However since it was Zigg who held the heart of a dragon it was impossible to restore the total amount with a potion.

Then Zeke discovered an item in his inventory.

A thought suddenly crossed his mind and he raised his aura with his recovered mana then grabbed Roland and ran towards the Snow Queen.

“Haaaah!”

He slammed Roland who was pouring out lightning into the spot where Bahamut had been earlier.

Phage phage phage!

The queen unable to move properly due to the lightning barely turned her head towards Zeke.

As she tried to remove the hand that was covering her eyes Zeke activated another skill of the Jewel Sword.

[Skills are activated randomly.]

[Alexandrite’s will is activated.]

A series of explosions occurred in the Snow Queen’s face.

[Kkaaaak!]

In the meantime Zeke took out what he had looked at earlier from his inventory.

Woohoo!

The spear of the God Slayer that stabbed the heart of the dragon Poseidon.

A spear made of adamantium a god-slaying metal appeared.

The Snow Queen was taken aback when she felt the power of the spear.

[Yeah yeah how did you do that!]

Zeke charged towards the Queen holding the Spear of the Godslayer.

The spear wrapped in aura was deeply embedded in the Queen’s side.

Kkwadduk!

As the Godslayer’s spear pierced her body the Queen let out a strange scream different from before.

Kkaaa …

The queen’s wings lost their light and fell to the ground.

Kookookookook!

Zeke slowly descended to where the fallen queen was.

The Queen’s subordinates on the ground had already made up their minds and were all scattered.

The queen with her wings broken and her remaining arms twisted in a bizarre manner had lost any of her original majesty.

White blood flowed from the queen’s mouth.

Zeke picked up Bahamut from the ground and slowly approached the queen.

Then the queen uttered a curse at Zeke.

[Damn seeds. I will not die like this. The wheel of reincarnation will bring me back to this world. As long as there is cold and winter on this earth I will return….]

Crunch-

Zeke did not listen any longer and swung Bahamut decapitating the queen.

White blood gushed out like a fountain from his severed neck.

Zeke conjured a shadow and devoured the Snow Queen.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk―

The Snow Queen the incarnation of the constellation and the creator of the legend of the White Witch disappeared into Sieg’s shadow.

As I binge-watched The Snow Queen messages kept coming to my mind.

[I gorged on the Nephilim created from the fallen blood.]

[The consumed stamina and mental power mana replenishes.]

[Binge-eating a being that contains the origin of the constellation increases your Gluttony skill level as a reward.]

[Skill ‘Gluttony’ changes to ‘Absorption’.]

[You have acquired the power of the gluttonous being ‘Freeze’.]

[By absorbing the Dragon Heart of the Dragon King the seal on Bahamut’s heart is partially released. The current compression seal level is 45%.]

[Elemental Sword (SS) skill level increases from Beginner to Expert.]

[Defense Mode proficiency increases.]

[Earn 1500 Karma Points.]

[You will receive 1 special random box.]

By gorging on the Snow Queen you can replenish your lost strength.

Only then did Zeke relax and he slumped down on his seat.

‘Why didn’t Master Kaisir kill such a dangerous being and instead just seal it away?’

There is no detailed information about him in the remaining chronicles.

I could only guess that the Nephilim were sealed away because they were so rare.

Zeke put his doubts aside and checked the information remembering that the skill ‘Gluttony’ had changed to ‘Absorption’.

-Absorption information-

It is possible to absorb anything without limitation using shadows and convert it into energy. You can gain abilities by absorbing beings or items with bloodline abilities. At this time you can transfer the absorbed abilities to shadow spirits.

“You can absorb anything without limitation through the shadow?”

In the case of gluttony it was only possible to absorb artifacts that contained demonic or magical powers.

Zeke activated his skill by throwing the ice crystals that had fallen around him into the shadows.

Tsk tsk tsk―

The ice crystals disappeared into the shadows.

“With this ability you could recover some strength even if you absorb trees or rocks while fighting.”

It was a very necessary ability for Zigg whose skills consumed a lot of mana.

In addition it was said that it was possible to transfer the absorbed abilities to shadow spirits.

“I guess I can give the skills I absorb and don’t use often to the shadow spirits. Sounds good huh?”

As his summons including the Cayman and Gurav units become stronger Zeke’s power also grows stronger so it was an excellent ability.

He was pleased with his new-found absorption powers.

At that moment Arataso approached Zeke.

[It’s surprising that you killed the Nephilim. They’re not the kind of people who die when you kill them.]

He looked at Zik Arataso and asked.

“Arataso why did you save me? If I had died you would have been freed too.”

At those words Arataso flinched for a moment then turned his head and said.

[Don’t get me wrong I didn’t save you I helped you kill the Nephilim. It’s so annoying how those who aren’t even constellations act so arrogantly and unluckily as if they are.]

Even after saying that Arataso continued to avoid Zeke’s gaze as if he was embarrassed.

Zeke said while looking at Arataso.

“Thank you Arataso. Thanks to you I survived.”

Arataso was surprised by his sincere greeting and stepped back.

[It’s creepy to hear you who is more demonic than the demons say such things. It doesn’t suit you at all so throw it away!]

“Really? Then after so long should I show you the taste of the Holy Spirit?”

[Ugh. Should I have just left him to die? I regret my actions earlier.]

While Zeke and Arataso were bickering Richmond approached Zeke in a dying state.

“Eeeeeeeee! Master!”

Richmond collapsed in front of Zeke.

“Why are you doing that again?”

Richmond said barely able to sit up.

“This time I really thought I was going to die.”

“You won’t die anyway since you’re a summoned creature of Richie.”

“If my master dies won’t I die too?”

Zeke nodded at Richmond’s words.

“Well that’s true.”

At that moment Arataso’s body next to him became blurry and returned to the sword.

[It is impossible to stay in the phenomenal world for too long.]

“It will get longer and longer.”

Arataso snickered and was released from his summons. Immediately afterwards Zeke released the other summons except for Richmond and opened his dragon’s eyes to look around the hall.

Richmond looked at Zeke and asked.

“What are you doing master?”

“Based on my long experience in dungeon exploration wherever there is a seal of this level there are bound to be hidden items.”

Zeke who was looking around with his eyes wide open first noticed the platform where the Snow Queen was standing.

He tapped the platform with Bahamut then struck down with all his might the field of gold power.

Boom!

As your proficiency with the Elemental Sword increases it becomes much easier to control its power than before.

The platform split apart and a chest emerged from it.

‘As expected there was something.’

Zeke approached and opened the box.
