A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 294
by Jessie@AFNCC
Episode 294
Zeke was puzzled when he saw the message that appeared.
‘The Fairy Forest rejects the Immortal?’
Michelle stepped beyond the stone tower and gestured toward Zeke.
“What’s wrong? Let’s go quickly.”
Zig looked at the message thought about it and then stepped into the area.
In that moment the stone towers around them began to shake.
Ddddddddd—
Dozens of stone towers collapsed scattering stones across the ground.
And the scattered stones began to come together on the ground and form a single shape.
“What is this?”
Michelle also rolled over and hid behind her bewildered by the sight she was seeing for the first time.
The clumped stones transformed into the shape of a huge giant.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A giant made of stone looked at Zeke and shouted.
“You who defy the law! Leave this sacred land immediately!”
After finishing speaking the giant’s body scattered into stones again and the stones flew towards Zig along with a strong gust of wind.
Doo doo doo doo!
Zeke lifted his cloak and blocked the flying rocks.
Boom!
As expected from a mantle that was impervious to swords it also deflected flying rocks.
Although he wasn’t hurt or anything Zeke looked embarrassed as he watched the strong gusts of wind.
‘Is there any way to stop this system?’
At Zeke’s words the system searched for information and then displayed a message.
[When you activate the dragon body while holding the sacred relic of the divine dragon Poseidon the area will recognize you as a dragon.]
‘You recognize me as a dragon?’

Although he was puzzled Zeke took out the sacred bead he had received from Poseidon from his inventory and activated his dragon body.
His eyes turned into dragon eyes and dragon scales sprouted from his body.
And then the wind began to die down.
[Re-recognizes the user in the area ‘Fairy Forest’.]
[The realm ‘Fairy Forest’ recognizes the dragon’s power.]
[The area ‘Fairy Forest’ suspends security measures.]
The stone wind retreated again and returned to its original stone tower shape.
As a strong gust of wind passed by Michelle who had been hiding came forward trembling.
“What what happened?”
Zeke paid no attention to Michelle and walked cautiously towards the stone tower.
Unlike before I was able to enter the fairy forest area.
‘Should the system remain in a state of slumber?’
[The dragon body will be converted to an inactive state but the dragon’s sacred relic must still be held.]
Zeke released his dragon body and put Poseidon’s sacred relic into his pocket.
He said to Michelle.
“Let’s keep going.”
Zeke and Michelle walked past the stone tower road and up the forest path.
As I climbed the hill I came across a peaceful village scene in a wide open space.
Druids wearing leather clothes and building houses out of wood and mud gathered in the town square.
What was surprising was that there was a phantom next to each of the druids.
Michelle saw the townspeople raised her hand and ran.
“I’m back!”
Compared to Michelle’s cheerful shouts the expressions of the other druids gathered in the square were indifferent.
When the druids showed no reaction Michelle made an embarrassed expression and approached the oldest-looking one.
Then he hit his chest and shouted.
“Chief! Look! I have brought someone to treat the mountain lord!”
An old man with his hair and beard braided with five-colored threads was sitting at the base of a tree leaning on a cane.
Beneath the long eyebrows were wise-looking eyes.
The man called the village chief stood up from his seat.
The other druids around including the village chief were all of good size although not as big as Michelle.
That was when.
Phew!
Suddenly the village chief swung his cane at Michelle.
Taaak!
“Ugh!”
The chief’s staff struck Michelle’s head and then began to skillfully beat her entire body.
At the same time a series of colorful curses came out of the village chief’s mouth.

“You XX! You XX little shit! You broke the village rules and went out on your own you XX little shit! And you brought an outsider into the village? Do you think the village rules are stupid?”
The village chief’s staff moved dazzlingly striking Michelle’s entire body.
“Ugh! Chief Cho! Hey Grandpa! Wait a minute!”
“잠깐은 이 XX 새끼야! 너 오늘 5년 치 몰아서 처맞자 이 망할 놈의 자식아!”
The village chief who had been beating Michelle for a long time was barely stopped by the other druids behind him.
The village chief continued to grumble still angry.
Zeke clicked his tongue inwardly as he watched Michelle crouching and clutching the area where she had been hit.
‘I guess you didn’t get permission to come out.’
The Druids had not been seen in public for hundreds of years.
To do so it would have been important to completely block the village from the outside world and maintain security to prevent its location from being leaked.
It is said that people often come to this village from outside but it was something they found on their own after much effort.
But this time Michelle had brought an outsider she had never seen before without permission so it was natural for the village chief to get angry.
The village chief hit Michelle’s head with his cane again and looked at Zeke.
“As you can see we are not in a position to welcome outsiders right now.”
Zeke soon realized that the druids gathered in the square were in a battle stance and were on guard against Zeke.
He approached the village chief.
“I apologize for suddenly coming into town like this. My name is Zeke Draker.”
The druids behind him were startled at the word Draker.
“Dr. Draker?”
“Those drakes have horns on their heads and sharp teeth.”
“Oh that’s right. I heard that you always laugh like an evil devil there.”
Zeke swallowed hard as he listened to the druids whispering.
‘Why did such a strange rumor spread even to the Druids?’
Unlike the other druids who were babbling the village chief looked at Zeke with sharp eyes and opened his mouth.
“Why did Draker come here? Did he come here to lure that idiot to trample on our village?”
Then Zeke shook his head.
“I have no such intention. I didn’t come here as a Draker in the first place. The reason I came here is to find the Fairy Lake.”
The druids were even more surprised by Zeke’s words.
“You’re looking for the fairy lake?”
“I think Drake is trying to destroy the Fairy Lake.”
“What a scary Drake!”
Once the misunderstanding started it couldn’t be stopped.
‘What a headache.’
Zeke had no choice but to take out the mask of Agamemnon from his inventory.
The village chief was startled when he saw the mask of Agamemnon that Zeke had taken out.
“that….”
“It seems that the village chief knows it too. It is one of the three holy relics that the Fairy King gave to the world of the living. I came here to restore the power of this holy relic.”
At Zeke’s words the village chief looked at Zeke with a different look than before.
“Were you a member of the Clan of Light?”
“If the Clan of Light refers to the bloodline of Luverne then yes.”
The druids stirred again at Zeke’s words.
“Drake is of the light clan.”
“Could the Clan of the Holy Light be such fearsome Drakers?”
“I don’t know I’m scared.”
They were just druids who were afraid of Zeke.
The village chief glanced at Michelle who was lying on the ground and clicked his tongue.
He said swinging his cane.
“Come inside first.”
Zik followed the village chief into the mud house.
The inside of the house was decorated more cutely than I had expected. There were flowers in clay vases on the windowsill and beautifully patterned woven fabrics and traditional crafts were hanging all over the walls.
“Sit over here.”
Zik sat on a cushion on the floor and faced the village chief.
The village chief sat down looked at Zig and opened his mouth.
“How did you meet that guy Trusino?”
“Turushino? Are you talking about Michelle?”
I wondered why he was using a woman’s name and it turns out Michelle was a pseudonym.
The village chief said clicking his tongue.
“It’s been five years since that bastard Trusino went out without permission to find some kind of elixir of life. We hadn’t heard from him in so long that we thought he had died on the street but we were surprised when he brought an outsider with him out of the blue.”
Before he knew it the village chief had taken the pipe next to him put it in his mouth lit it and began smoking it.
Zig said to the village chief.
“Michelle was trying to get the elixir to cure someone.”
He took the elixir out of his inventory and showed it to the village chief.
“But unfortunately the elixir is not a cure so it cannot cure the disease.”
The village chief shook his head at those words.
“I never thought he would be able to save them properly in the first place. He is the best at sociability with the beasts but he is incredibly stupid in other ways.”
Zeke remembered the way Michelle looked at the Dragon King.
Youngsoo who are naturally sensitive tend to be wary around other people.
But for some reason I remembered that Bucephalus had not been wary of Michelle.
‘Was it because you were so friendly with the young people?’
The village chief looked at Zig and said.
“I understand why you came here. But you can’t go to the Fairy Lake so go back.”
“That can’t be. To revive this relic we must go to the Lake of the Fairies.”
The village chief was impressed by Zig’s words.
“This isn’t something that can be resolved by being stubborn so just get down from the mountain.”
Then Zeke looked at the village chief and said.
“Is this something related to the person Michelle mentioned who needs to be treated? Michelle mentioned Sangun earlier.”
At Zig’s words the village chief took a deep drag on his gombangdae and blew out a puff of smoke.
Zig looked at the village chief through the smoky smoke and said.
“I am a member of the Luverne bloodline and am of the healer class. As I told Michelle I believe I can heal the man named Sangun.”
The village chief chuckled at Zeke’s words.
“It is impossible to cure a mountain man.”
“Why do you say it is impossible?”
The village chief frowned put down his pipe and snapped.
“Well that’s because San-gun isn’t human.”
Zig frowned at the village chief’s words.
Then he slowly opened his mouth.
“Is the mountain commander the leader?”
The village chief nodded.
“He is not a spirit but a god. He has lived here for thousands of years. He is far beyond the realm of humans. How can humans cure his illness?”
After hearing the village chief’s words Zeke realized something.
“It seems that without the power of the mountain army we cannot go to the lake of fairies.”
The village chief shut his mouth at his words.
Zick said rising from his seat.
“If there is no other way then it doesn’t matter if I take a look. Since it is a loss please bring me to the mountain lord.”
The village chief’s eyebrows twitched at Zeke’s words.
I was wondering if I should expose the mountain range to outsiders.
Then after thinking for a moment Zeke said to the village chief.
“I am the one with the spirit of the Elder Dragon engraved in my soul and the successor of the King of Heroes. So please trust me and take me to the mountain lord.”
The village chief’s eyes widened at the mention of the elder dragon.
He looked Zeke over carefully and then held out his hand to him.
“Put your right hand here.”
Zeke followed the village chief’s words and placed his right hand on his hand.
The village chief held Zig’s palm and looked at it closely.
The village chief who was looking back and forth between his palm and his eyes swallowed.
“Ugh… This doesn’t make sense.”
The village chief who had been looking at Zeke’s palm for a while nodded and stood up from his seat.
“Follow me.”
Zig followed the village chief out of the mud house. As he went outside he saw the druids and beasts gathered around him poking their heads out.
The village chief waved his stick and shouted.
“What the heck! Everyone go back quickly!”
At the village chief’s shout the druids and beasts quickly scattered.
Then the village chief shouted at Michelle who was running away.
“Turushino! You follow me!”
Then Michelle said in confusion.
“Why why? Are you going to hit me again?”
The village chief shouted in a furious voice.
“This kid! Shut up and come here quickly! Oh my you call that guy your grandson. Hey…..”
Surprisingly Michelle was the village chief’s grandson.
Zeke nodded belatedly remembering Michelle calling him “Grandpa” earlier.
Zeke and Michelle followed the village chief up the path behind the village.
As I went up the path there was a cave inside.
In front of the cave the village chief and Michelle bowed their heads respectfully clasped their hands together and prayed.
Zeke saw what they were doing and did the same.
After a while the village chief led Zeke and Michelle into the cave.
As we walked a little further into the cave the surroundings became brighter again and a space filled with beautiful grass and flowers appeared.
Zeke realized that the atmosphere here was different from outside.
‘This place… feels similar to when I entered Poseidon’s space.’
Zeke followed the village chief into the flower field.
There was a tree standing in the middle of a flower garden.
“The mountain lord is over there.”
Zeke slowly approached the tree.
He was startled to find a being leaning against a tree.
