A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 295



Episode 295

A huge bear with golden fur was crouching under a tree.

‘It’s a huge bear. Is this what a god is like…?’

Zeke slowly approached the bear.

Grrrrrrr―

The crouching bear was breathing dryly.

When I got closer and looked at it it was much larger than it looked from a distance.

It felt as if there was a garden there.

As Zeke and Michelle approached the bear slowly opened its eyes.

His eyes looked back and forth between Zeke and Michelle.

Then Michelle started crying and ran towards the bear.

“Oh my! My lord!”

Michelle buried her face in the mountain man’s fur and began to sob.

“Turushino. It’s been a while.”

Michelle looked up at Sangun with her face a mess from crying.

“Ugh uh. I’m sorry Sangun. I definitely wanted to get you some medicine… but as usual I did something stupid again.”

Then the mountain man spoke in a warm voice.

“Turushino you are not stupid at all. You are just a little slower than others. But sometimes that slowness is important.”

It was a voice filled with endless kindness and love.

Zeke seemed to know what kind of being the mountain man was to Michelle.

‘So that’s why you were trying to get the elixir. To save this divine beast.’

Sangun turned his eyes and looked at Jik.

『I felt the power of a dragon for the first time in a long time and wondered what was going on and it turned out that someone with rare powers had come.』

Zig bowed his head toward Sangun and said.

“Greetings. My name is Zeke Draker. I have come here to reclaim the power of the Holy Relic.”

At the mention of the holy relic Sangun’s eyelids fluttered.

“A holy relic. A rare one. Do you know that? The reappearance of a holy relic is a sign that this world will fall into chaos. ”

“Your Majesty the world is already in chaos. High-level demons have revealed themselves and groups that seek to use this power to overthrow the continent are appearing.”

Sangun took a deep breath at Zig’s words.

“Are you trying to stop them with the power of the holy relic?”

Zeke’s original goal was to become the strongest on the continent.

In the process he became entangled in a bad relationship with Abel and the Siemens Empire which led to this situation.

‘If we just leave it alone the entire continent will turn into ashes so there’s no point in becoming the strongest in that situation.’

Zik nodded toward Sangun.

“Yes it just so happened that way… but that’s how it is for now.”

The mountain man’s eyes looked into Zig’s.

“Come here and put your hands on my body.”

Zik heard the mountain man’s words and approached him placing his hand on his golden fur.

I could feel the warm body temperature of the mountains through my hands.

The voice of the mountain men echoed in Zig’s head.

『A person who defied the law. However in his heart he has a strong mind and an unyielding will that no one can follow. What a pure and beautiful soul. It’s truly amazing.』

Zik was taken aback by Sangun’s words.

“…I appreciate your words but I cannot agree with the statement that my soul is pure and beautiful.”

“You are stronger and more beautiful than anyone else. You are more than capable of guiding the Holy Relic to the right path.”

Zig smiled at those words and asked.

“Then can you open the way to the Fairy Lake?”

Sangun nodded his head at Zig’s words.

“To open the path to the Lake of Fairies I must restore my divinity but as you can see I have lost almost all of my power.”

The new man Sangun was unable to control his body and continued to crouch.

Zig asked the system while keeping his hand on Sangun’s body.

‘What disease is the System Army suffering from now?’

The system then searched for relevant information and then displayed a message.

[A divine being is a being connected to the realm in which it resides. The divine being’s realm Sangun is connected to the Ogre Mountains and is currently suffering a blow to its soul as magic has invaded this mountain range.]

‘Magic has invaded? What should I do to recover?’

[You must purify the magic and restore the divine power of the divine beast.]

Agamemnon’s mask which had the power of purification was currently unusable due to low durability.

Zig wondered how to deal with the magic that had seeped into every part of Sangun’s body.

After much thought he spoke first to Michelle who was attached to Sangun’s body.

“I’m going to treat Lady Michelle. Stay back.”

At Zeke’s words Michelle wiped away her tears and immediately stepped back.

“Please my lord please save me!”

Zik took a deep breath and examined Sangun’s body first.

Woohoo!

As the wide-area buff occurred a healing factor was applied to Sangun’s body.

A halo of light settled into Sangun’s body but Sangun’s dry breathing did not improve.

‘This is a situation where magic has penetrated deep into the body.’

Zig said to Sangun.

“I will burn the demonic energy embedded in your body. It may hurt a little but please bear with it.”

“You are suffering because of me.”

Since it was a word of permission Zig immediately raised the torch.

With the healing factor on Sangun Zig inserted the Holy Fire into his body.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Although not as effective as the purification skill the Holy Fire skill also had the effect of burning magic.

The Holy Fire moved around inside Sangun’s body and burned his magic energy.

Cheeeeeeek―

At one point black smoke came out of Sangun’s mouth and nose.

Sangun trembled in the burning pain that tore through his body.

A cold sweat also formed on Zeke’s forehead.

‘The magic has completely hardened and is embedded throughout the body.’

Only a very small number of things could be burned with a torch.

Because it had hardened so much and stuck to Sangun’s body if it had continued to burn like that problems could have occurred to Sangun’s body.

『Eww!』

The mountain lord twisted his body in agony.

Zeke clenched his teeth.

‘This can’t go on. I need a purification skill.’

He carefully took out Agamemnon’s mask.

Since it only had 20% durability left if you were not careful the mask itself could break.

‘Finish it as quickly as possible.’

Zeke took a deep breath and put his mask on.

Woohoo!

A golden aura arose from Zeke’s body.

It felt like I was using a weapon I had lost after a long time using the purification skill.

The power of purification seeped into Sangun’s body.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk―

As soon as the golden aura touched it the hardened magic energy shattered into pieces.

Unlike the Holy Fire the power of purification gently extinguished the demonic energy without putting any strain on Sangun’s body.

Cheeeeeeek―

Thicker black smoke than before came out of Sangun’s body.

The mountain man’s expression became much softer than when he was wearing the Holy Spirit.

At that moment a warning message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[???’s mask durability has dropped below 15%.]

[If you continue to use the purification skill its durability will decrease.]

[When durability reaches 0% recovery is not possible.]

Zig clenched his teeth and tried to remove the magic embedded in Sangun’s body as quickly as possible.

‘Hurry up hurry up!’

Woohoo!

The power of purification quickly dissipated the magic embedded in Sangun’s body but the problem came next.

The magic energy was stuck and hardened throughout the lungs.

Even if I fully concentrated my purifying power it didn’t move at all.

As the durability of Agamemnon’s mask gradually decreased Zeke became anxious.

Damn it!

Before I knew it a noticeable crack had appeared on the mask.

If I had used any more force the mask might have been completely ruined.

As the anxious Zeke lowered the output of his purifying power the magical energy attached to his lungs began to stir and stretch out again.

Then it started to slowly wrap around the area that Zeke had treated.

‘Fuck.’

[???’s mask durability has dropped below 10%.]

[If you continue to use the purification skill its durability will decrease.]

[When durability reaches 0% recovery is not possible.]

As the power of purification gradually weakened San-gun looked at Zig and said.

“You don’t have to push yourself too hard. This is also my fate.”

At those words Zeke clenched his teeth.

‘If things continue like this the path to the Fairy Lake will be closed anyway.’

Without the power of the Divine Beast it would be impossible to reach the Lake of the Fairies and so it would be impossible to restore Agamemnon’s mask.

Zig decided to use all of his remaining purification power to eliminate the magic embedded in Sangun’s body at once.

Woohoo!

Zeke concentrated his strength.

[The function of purification is combined with the talent of the immortal and changes into ‘Great Purification’.]

[The function of ‘Great Purification’ is linked to the user’s wide-range skill buff.]

Zig focused his purification skill on Sangun’s body.

Woohoo!

A brilliant golden aura permeated Sangun’s body.

A message appeared before Zeke’s eyes indicating that the mask’s durability was rapidly decreasing.

‘Eeeeek!’

The magical energy embedded in Sangun’s body was almost completely destroyed by the power of the great purification.

That was when.

Kkwadduk!

The source of magic that had been buried deep within the mountain army’s lungs stirred.

Zig focused the power of the Great Purification on the source.

However the source of magic was not dispersed even by the power of the great purification.

‘Why isn’t the Great Purification working?’

Zeke even used the Holy Fire to try to burn out the source of magic.

But the more it happened the more the magic seemed to cling to him.

Grrrrrr!

The mountain man twisted his body as if in pain and let out a long cry.

At that moment a message notifying Zeke of the mask’s durability appeared before his eyes.

[???’s mask durability has dropped below 2%.]

[???’s mask durability has dropped below 1%.]

‘Oh no!’

The golden aura was gradually diminishing.

Kkwadduk!

Magi took advantage of the gap and shook Sangun’s body again with fierce force.

The power of the Great Purification was being pushed back by the power of Magic.

[???’s mask durability has dropped below 0%.]

Jeez jeez!

Eventually Agamemnon’s mask began to crumble. The magic within the mountain man’s body stirred and shook Zig’s body.

Zeke looked at the fading golden aura and fell into despair.

That was when.

[Power Luck is activated.]

The elixir that I had put in my pocket earlier burst open due to the impact spilling onto the sacred relic of the sea god that was with me.

A five-colored light rose from the sacred relic of the sea god where the elixir had fallen.

[Elixir and the Holy Relic of the Sea God react.]

[The Sea God’s sacred relic ‘Dragon’s Pearl’ unlocks its abilities.]

[‘Dragon’s Pearl’ is linked with the power ‘Return’.]

‘what?’

For a moment time stopped except for Zig.

The clock of Kronos appeared before his eyes.

[The power ‘Revert’ is activated.]

As the clock hands turned back Zig’s time moved backwards.

At the same time Agamemnon’s mask which had been falling apart came back together and settled on Zeke’s face.

Zeke was surprised to see Agamemnon’s mask returned to its original state.

‘Was this the ability to revert?’

[The power of ‘Dragon’s Pearl’ has been used to activate the ability ‘Return’ without penalty.]

Time which had stopped returned to its original state.

[???’s mask durability has dropped below 20%.]

The mask’s durability was back to 20%.

Zig immediately summoned the power of purification.

Woohoo!

A golden aura enveloped Sangun’s body again.

The source of magic embedded in his body started to struggle trying to spread its energy here and there.

Zeke focused the power of the Great Purification on its source.

Wooooow!

The power of the Great Purification surrounded the source of magic from all sides preventing it from escaping.

The source of magic writhed as if screaming.

At the same time the power of purification exploded and spread out annihilating the source of magic.

Woof woof woof woof!

A golden ring spread out from Sangun’s body and spread throughout the entire area.

The golden aura spread beyond the mountain range’s territory reaching the druid village and the entire Ogre Mountains.

Tsk tsk tsk―

Soon the black smoke completely disappeared from the mountain man’s body. The mountain man’s breathing which had been filled with pain gradually became stable.

Zeke checked the message in front of him with his body exhausted.

[???’s mask durability has dropped below 1%.]

The purification was successful just before the mask broke.

Without realizing it Zeke’s eyes slowly closed and he lost consciousness.
