A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 297



Episode 297

A mysterious being he had never seen before was spreading its wings before him.

It looked at Zig with its elegantly upturned eyes waving its colorful beautiful feathers and long flowing tail.

When Zeke saw the mysterious being something came to mind.

‘chicken?’

At that moment the mysterious being pecked Zeke on the forehead.

“Ugh!”

The beak was so hard that even though he was a Zeke with immortal powers he thought his forehead was splitting for a moment.

After recovering from the wound on his forehead with the healing factor Zeke sat up and looked at the mysterious being through the dragon’s eyes.

– New information –

Description: A rare mysterious and beautiful fantasy species.

Unique Ability: Phoenix Star

Special Note: Since ancient times the phoenix has been considered an auspicious sign. If you are near it good luck will come.

‘Auspicious sign that brings good luck?’

Zeke put him down and watched the phoenix walk gracefully showing off its colorful feathers.

The phoenix spread its wings again and flew towards Zeke landing on his shoulder.

Woof woof!

It was a cry that seemed to be a strange mixture of five sounds.

Zeke felt his heart soften as he listened to the phoenix’s cry.

And at that moment the beautiful sights that had been unfolding dizzily before Zeke’s eyes slowly subsided.

Although there was still a mysterious aura it had transformed into the appearance of a normal forest and lake.

‘It says that the unique ability is the Phoenix Star so it seems that there is some kind of ability contained in the sound of crying.’

At that moment a statuesque beautiful being with water-colored hair appeared from the lake wearing lake water like a dress around its body.

Zeke saw the resemblance between Caesar and Cronus and realized that this being was a lake nymph.

The lake nymph looked at Zeke with her mystical eyes and said.

“Those with immortal powers are dangerous. Karma will not leave you alone.”

Zeke realized that the lake nymph would never resurrect the relic.

‘Damn if I can’t revive the holy relic I can’t proceed with the quest.’

He thought about it and then made up his mind.

‘Then why don’t you just call the person who created it?’

I don’t know if summoning the Fairy King will revive the relic but it seems better than persuading the Lake Fairy.

He took out the Fairy King’s Tears from his inventory and immediately opened the bottle’s cap.

The nymph of the lake shuddered at the power she felt inside the bottle.

“Hey you you bastard don’t tell me that’s…!”

A bright light emanated from the bottle that Zig had opened. Then suddenly the body of the lake fairy began to sway.

[The Fairy King’s Tears are activated.]

[Receives a correction effect from the power of the Fairy Lake.]

[Communication with the fairy world is possible.]

For a moment a light flashed in the lake fairy’s eyes.

Zeke felt a powerful presence from the lake nymph that was incomparable to anything he had ever felt before.

A message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[The Fairy King looks at the Immortal.]

Zeke felt his knees buckle under the pressure of the power of the Fairy King who had been enthralled by the Lake Fairy.

He barely opened his mouth to address the mighty Fairy King.

“Fairy King. Please revive the holy relic.”

At Zeke’s words a light burst out from the lake fairy’s eyes.

[The Fairy King says that the power of the immortals is so strong that if they were to possess the holy relics they would risk disrupting the phenomenal world.]

“The Demon King’s army is trying to revive. Can we stop them without the Holy Relics?”

[The Fairy King is troubled after hearing the Immortal’s words.]

[The King of Heroes expresses his intention.]

‘The King of Heroes? Could it be Master Kaiser?’

[The Hero King says that this immortal is stupid and clumsy but will not abuse the power of the Holy Relic.]

As Zeke watched the rising message he thought he could hear Caesar’s voice in his ears.

[The Fairy King is troubled after hearing the Hero King’s words.]

[The King of Heroes scolds the King of the Fairy asking how long he will continue to worry.]

[The Fairy King tells the Hero King to stay still.]

Zeke was confused as he continued to see the messages coming in.

‘Why are you two fighting?’

That was when.

As the lake fairy who contained the will of the Fairy King trembled a message was urgently sent up.

[The Fairy King decides to restore the Holy Relic after thinking it over.]

[The King of Heroes criticizes him saying that if it was going to happen anyway he should have restored it a long time ago so why is he doing it now?]

Zig looked relieved at the message that had appeared.

‘Thank goodness. I didn’t know the fairies would be this wary of the power of the immortal… Is it because of Siemens Apollyon who summoned the Demon King?’

At that time Caesar attacked Zigg through a message.

[The King of Heroes tells the Immortal to stop learning useless techniques and focus on learning the Elemental Sword and making his achievements known to the world.]

‘This gentleman hasn’t changed at all even though he’s in the fairy world.’

Even Zeke knew the power of the Elemental Sword but the mana consumption was too high for him a human to use freely and it was difficult to control so he couldn’t deal with his enemies with it alone.

Without knowing Zig’s circumstances Caesar continued to nag him through messages.

And then the lake fairy’s eyes lit up and the light flew towards the holy relic that Zig had placed on the ground.

Woohoo!

The Holy Grail the scabbard and the Mask of Agamemnon were connected to each other and the broken mask began to regain its original form.

Thud thud!

At that moment the sun emblem attached to the mask’s head fell off revealing another pattern underneath.

‘What’s that pattern…?’

A design of a snake biting its own tail.

Zeke felt like he had seen that pattern somewhere before.

And then the moment I realized what the feeling of deja vu was I got goosebumps.

‘The Siemens emblem!’

The Siemens family crest depicted two snakes biting each other’s tails.

Zig couldn’t figure out why the mask which was a relic had a pattern similar to the Siemens family crest engraved on it.

[The name of the mask of ??? has been confirmed.]

[The mask of the great sage Atrahasis has been restored.]

The mask floated up with the other relics glowing brilliantly.

Zeke could now see the true identity of this mask.

‘A mask made by a great sage. The sage’s name is Atrahasis.’

Even in the story of the heroic king the name of the great sage does not appear.

Everyone in the phenomenal world including Zeke only knew him as the ‘great sage.’

The message came back again.

[The Fairy King advises the Immortal not to be swallowed by the monster in the abyss.]

[The King of Heroes scolds the King of the Fairy to not say anything and just give him one more good item.]

[The Fairy King ponders after hearing the Hero King’s words and then gives a gift to the Immortal.]

[Obtain a special random box containing a gift from the Fairy King.]

[Obtain a special random box containing the Hero King’s gift.]

Before Zeke could thank the King of Heroes and the King of Fairies the energy that had been in the lake fairy disappeared.

『Huh!』

The fairy of the lake where the spirit of the Fairy King had lingered looked at Zigg her body trembling.

『How could the Fairy King give the Holy Relic to the Immortal….』

Zig quickly put the relic and the random box into his inventory and spoke to the lake fairy.

“Hey I’m done with my work can you tell me the way out?”

The water of the lake surrounding the body of the lake nymph rippled violently.

The fairy trembled and manipulated the lake water creating a mirror-shaped portal.

He shouted as he looked at Zeke.

“Immortal take heed to my words! Those who break the law will surely be punished….”

Zeke jumped straight into the portal without even listening to what the lake nymph said.

The forest spirits who were watching this burst into laughter.

The lake nymph made a huge splash and then shivered as she returned to the lake.

* * *

Woohoo!

As Zeke exited the portal water filled his eyes.

‘Huh!’

As soon as he realized the situation Zeke quickly activated his amphibious skill allowing him to breathe underwater.

Looking to the side the phoenix was sitting on my shoulder in an elegant pose as if it had no problem breathing underwater.

‘It looks like a pretty chicken but it’s actually a Shinsoo.’

As if reading Zeke’s thoughts the phoenix pecked Zeke on the head with its beak once again.

‘It hurts you kid!’

Zig climbed up blocking the phoenix’s beak.

“Phuhu!”

I looked around and surprisingly it was a lakeside.

After swimming out of the lake Zeke turned on the map to check his location. He saw that he was on a lakeside not far from the Druid Village.

Zeke came down from the lakeside and entered the druid village.

When he appeared the townspeople cheered.

“The knight has come down!”

It was a completely different attitude from when he first looked wary of Zeke.

The druids all flocked to Zigg.

‘what?’

The druids gathered around Zeke held out their hands palms facing Zeke then closed their eyes and bowed their heads.

Zig watched the druids’ actions which seemed quite serious.

However there was no further action after that so Zeke slowly walked forward and all the druids who encountered him took the same stance.

As I walked along thinking that it was some kind of sign exclusive to Druids I saw the village chief waiting for Zeke at the square holding a staff.

When they faced each other he also lowered his head toward Zeke and showed him his palm.

The village chief immediately raised his head and spoke to Zeke.

“Thank you so much for saving my lord.”

When I first saw him I couldn’t imagine the village chief beating up Michelle while swearing at her because his attitude was so polite.

“Zeke said shaking his head.

“It’s something I should have done as a knight.”

It was Zeke who made an exemplary knightly remark after a long time.

The village chief smiled happily and pointed to the druids who were paying homage to Zeke.

“It is a ritual that expresses the meaning of sharing one’s blessings with you expressing gratitude.”

That was when.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

I saw Sangun and Michelle coming down towards the village carrying a large barrel.

The druids and the beasts ran towards the mountain army laughing.

“The honey wine of the mountain lord!”

“It’s been a while since we had a festival!”

The mountain men came to the square and put down several large barrels.

As soon as the lid of the cask was opened an incredibly sweet aroma spread throughout the village.

Michelle poured a large glass of mead into a tall glass and brought it over to Zeke.

“Sir! Try it. The mountain lord’s honey wine is really the best!”

All the druids in the village looked at Zeke.

Zeke accepted the glass from Michelle without refusing.

A dark amber liquid was visible inside the glass.

The fragrance was sweet and the color was beautiful.

Just as Zeke was about to drink his clothes suddenly bulged and a phoenix popped its head out and dipped its head into the glass.

Woof woof!

Bonghang drank all the honey wine in the cup while crying mysteriously.

Then as if in awe it came out and flew up into the sky spreading out all its colorful feathers.

Woooooooooooooooooo!

The phoenix flew over the entire village singing joyfully.

Sangun who was sitting on one side spoke in a surprised voice as he looked at the phoenix flying in the sky.

“Wow a phoenix. I’m seeing a truly precious divine beast.”

The druids were startled by Sangun’s words.

“Isn’t the phoenix the auspicious sign from the legend?”

“Oh my god there really is a phoenix.”

The druids’ reaction was enthusiastic. Among them Michelle was so happy to see the phoenix flying in the sky that she almost fainted.

Zik asked looking at the mountain range.

“I fell into the lake of fairies and the spirit’s egg absorbed the power and that divine beast emerged.”

At those words Sangun drank the honey wine and made an expression of interest.

『The egg of the spirit is also precious. It is true that the lake of fairies hatched the egg but it was your power that determined the divine beast born from that egg.』

“Are you saying that the phoenix was born by my own power?”

『It is said that a spirit befitting the soul of the one who holds it will be born from the spirit egg. That phoenix Jig is like your soulmate so treat it with care.』

Zig looked at the drunken excited and crying Phoenix with a puzzled expression.

‘No matter how I look at it it’s like a pretty chicken….’

Then like a ghost the phoenix read Zeke’s thoughts and swooped down from the air and pecked him with its beak.

The druids were able to burst into uncontrollable laughter for the first time in a long while at the sight of such a phoenix and a zeke.

Zeke also enjoyed the village banquet at ease mingling with the villagers.

After the banquet was over and everyone was asleep Zeke covered the sleeping Phoenix with his cloak and opened his inventory.

Three holy relics were placed before him.

Zig looked at them and then with a determined expression he directed his strength towards the relic. At that moment a white light burst out.
