A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 298



Episode 298

Wooooow!

A message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[You have successfully completed the main quest mission.]

[Obtaining all three relics will automatically activate the coordinates for the Temple of the Beginning.]

[You will receive the title of Archmage’s Protection as a reward for completing the linked quest mission.]

[Obtain the title Fairy’s Blessing as a reward for completing the linked quest mission.]

[You will receive 1000 Karma Points as a reward.]

[Upper level administrator system features are unlocked.]

[The portal movement system has been strengthened allowing one person other than the user to move together. (When moving together double the Karma Points are required)]

[You will receive one special random skill card as a reward.]

Zeke carefully read the messages that came to mind.

‘The portal system has been strengthened. You can now move with a companion.’

Although the portal movement system was useful it also consumed a lot of Karma Points so it was not used much these days.

As of now the portal system was Zeke’s last resort.

‘If I get more karma points as a reward I can use them more actively.’

This time Zeke checked the coordinates of the Temple of the Beginning that he had acquired.

You had to bring the three relics to the Temple of the Beginning to complete the main quest.

But when I tried to check the coordinates of the Temple of the Beginning the message appeared again.

[Check the coordinates of the Temple of the Beginning.]

[Your user permissions do not allow you to activate the Temple Coordinates.]

[Title: Successor to the Kingdom of Kronos is required.]

[Main Quest Mission Reward: ???]

[Linked Quest Mission Reward: Title: Successor of the Kingdom of Kronos]

Zig looked serious as he saw the quest linked to the main.

“To enter the Temple of the Beginning you need to be the successor to the Kingdom of Kronos?”

The only seal of the Kingdom of Kronos that Zeke found was the one found in Uranus’ Lair.

The remaining ones were one in the Central Continent one in the Southern Continent and one in the Northern Continent.

According to Uranus Shatton Draker had entrusted the seals to the lords of each race so it was highly likely that other seals would also exist in the hidden Dragon Lair.

‘If it’s Hades he might know the exact location of the lair.’

Zig cleared his mind and put the relics back into his inventory.

Then I checked the special random box I received from the Spirit King and the special random skill I received as a reward.

The special skill card was shining gold unlike the skill cards I had received so far.

“Since it has the word ‘special’ in it something good will come out of it.”

First when I opened the random box a golden light rose up.

Inside it was a jewel shining with a five-colored light.

“What is this?”

―Gem Information―

Description: A fairy stone with the blessing of the Fairy King.

Unique ability: Undecided

Special Features: Since it contains the spirit of the Fairy King just holding it will make your body healthy and your mind clear. It has the function of driving away evil spirits.

“A fairy stone with the blessing of the Fairy King. It’s a rare item.”

Judging from the fact that its unique ability is undetermined it seems to be an item crafting material.

‘There must be a use for it as a sacred relic of the Sea God.’

Zig put the blessed fairy stone into his inventory.

And opened the special skill card.

[Opens a special random skill card.]

[Active skill ‘Lion’s Back (A-Class)’ is registered.]

[Active skill ‘Lion’s Roar’ combines with battle cry.]

[Your skill level after death increases.]

“After death? What skill is it?”

Zeke tilted his head and read the skill description.

– Lion’s Roar: Lets out a roar causing enemies to panic and fall into confusion and restores allies in abnormal status to normal and boosts their morale. Has the effect of driving away evil spirits.

Zig read the skill description and looked satisfied.

“It’ll be quite advantageous when dealing with the Abyss guys.”

Finally Zeke opened the special random box given to him by the King of Heroes.

―Necklace Information―

Description: A necklace imbued with the blessings of the King of Heroes.

Unique Ability: Summon Spirit (One-time use)

Special: A necklace imbued with the blessing of the King of Heroes which allows you to summon the spirit of the King of Heroes in the Fairy World for 10 minutes.

Zeke was surprised to see the necklace information.

‘You can summon Master Kaisir for 10 minutes?’

At first glance it may seem like nothing special but being able to summon the King of Heroes a being more powerful than a dragon for 10 minutes was an incredible ability.

Zeke placed the necklace carefully in his inventory.

‘I think I might find some use for it someday.’

* * *

The next day Zeke said goodbye to the druids and left the village.

The simple druids packed Zeke lots of food to eat as he went down.

The mountain army also came down from the territory and saw off Jik.

“Take care and have a safe trip.”

“Your Majesty you should also take care of your health.”

Michelle held onto Zeke’s leg and cried and snotted her eyes.

“Huh! Sir please come back to play! The Druids will always welcome you!”

Zeke left the village shaking off Michelle’s persistence until the end.

Zig who waved goodbye and said goodbye for the last time went down the mountain while eating the dried meat the Druids had given him.

Zig looked at the phoenix dozing off on his shoulder and thought about it.

‘Come to think of it what should I name this guy?’

But even though it was a new city I was concerned about building it carelessly like Richmond or Bain.

But then the ogres appeared in front of Zeke again.

The sleeping phoenix suddenly woke up sensed danger and immediately hid itself.

Zeke was surprised when he saw that.

‘They say that since you are a divine being you can travel between the world of phenomena and the spiritual world.’

Phoenix was able to use the spirit transformation skill which could be used three times a day with the scabbard a holy relic naturally.

As the phoenix hid itself well Zeke used his stealth skill to erase his presence and looked out for the ogres that appeared.

But when he took a step back and looked at the situation he saw that the ogres were not trying to attack Zeke but were being chased by something else.

‘An ogre being hunted? Something seems off.’

Perhaps it had something to do with the stakes in the mountain range that had affected the ogres’ bodies but Zigg remained hidden and pursued the fleeing ogres.

* * *

“Whew! Whoosh!”

A dozen or so ogres fled deep into the forest.

Grrr!

The leader of the ogre group gestured and urged his men to come quickly.

That was when.

Shhhh!

An arrow flew with terrifying force and pierced the thick thigh of the ogre at the very back.

Wow!

The smallest ogre fell clutching his leg.

Then the other ogres grabbed the fallen ogre’s arms and dragged him away.

The chief ogre stepped forward carrying a massive battle axe.

Then someone appeared in the forest.

thud!

Those wearing thick iron armor all over their bodies approached the ogre.

The one at the front pointed to the leader of the ogres and spoke.

“That guy is the one who instigated it. Kill him first.”

The warrior behind him held a huge longbow.

The iron longbow was so large that its arrows looked like javelins.

The ogre leader looked at them bared his teeth and raised his axe.

Kwaaaaah!

As soon as the leader ogre charged arrows flew.

puck!

The arrow was deeply embedded in the ogre’s belly.

The one at the front of the armored group charged straight at the ogre with a heavy halberd in his hand.

Kkwaduk!

He struck the Ogre Captain’s head with his halberd and the Ogre Captain fell to the ground with his head blown off.

The remaining ogres trembled as they looked at their dead leader.

It was hard to believe that they were the ogres who were known as the rulers of the Ogre Mountains.

He wiped the ogre blood from his halberd and spoke to his men.

“I’m so busy you’re bothering me. Take those guys away.”

Those behind him nodded their heads at his words.

“I see.”

The armored hordes were about to take away the fallen ogres.

Crunch!

One of the group at the very back had his head cut off.

In an instant the armored crowd panicked and drew their weapons.

“The enemy!”

Then a breeze blew between them.

Wheeeeeek!

An unidentified being swung its sword as it moved between them like a whirlwind.

Every time the wind blew one person’s neck fell off.

“Keuh-uh-uh!”

A warrior his armor pierced by a black sword fell with a thud.

The last to appear was Zeke holding Bahamut.

Zeke said looking at the armored warrior holding the halberd.

“An orc in this day and age? It’s hard to believe.”

At Zeke’s words the armored warrior holding the halberd opened the lid of his helmet.

Orcs a race thought to have disappeared long ago have appeared in the Ogre Mountains.

The Orc warrior spoke to Zeke holding a halberd.

“How dare you touch the great warriors of humanity. I will tear you to pieces.”

Ziggy understood the Orc language through the system and fought back.

“Nothing has changed since two thousand years ago. Is there no word for development in the language of the Orcs?”

The Orc warrior roared in anger not even realizing that Zeke was speaking Orcish.

“I’ll kill you! Aaaah!”

The excited orc warrior ran towards Zeke with a shout.

Zeke easily dodged the halberd turned sideways and tripped the orc warrior’s foot.

The orc warrior rolled on the ground unable to support his own weight.

At that moment a chain shot out from Zeke’s hand and wrapped around the body of the fallen Orc warrior.

“Ugh!”

Ziggy sent out a lightning skill at the chain.

Phage phage phage!

“Eeeeeeeeeee!”

The Orc warrior who was hit by the lightning skill gritted his teeth and glared at Zeke.

“You damn human! Do you think a great Orc warrior can suffer this much?”

Zeke nodded at the sight of such an orc warrior.

“I know you guys are tough. Then try to endure this too.”

Zig activated the Holy Light which was developed from the Holy Fire.

Woohoo!

The Holy Fire which was in the form of a flame rose in the form of a halo.

A halo of light snaked through the chains and wrapped around the orc’s body.

“Cough!”

An orc engulfed in madness spewed out black smoke.

“Keuh-euh-euh!”

The sturdy orc trembled and changed his stance in an instant beginning to plead.

“That’s enough!”

“This is just the beginning so hold on tight.”

Tsk tsk tsk―

The holy light that Zeke had unleashed seeped more into the orc’s body.

An hour later Zeke was able to learn their identities from the Orc warrior.

“You came from the Forest of the Forgotten?”

As a former Highlander who had been in the Forest of the Forgotten with his master Nigel Zeke could not help but be surprised.

The Forest of the Forgotten was a cursed place where endless floods spread.

And deep in the forest there were demons hiding everywhere unknown even to Master Nigel.

So it was not impossible that a group of Orcs an ancient race were hiding in that vast sea.

The problem was something else.

‘How did you get out of the Forest of the Forgotten?’

Those trapped there can never leave the forest due to the effects of the curse.

Nigel a Highlander was responsible for controlling the population of demons in the forest so that they would not become too numerous.

In the first place the demons could not go outside the forest.

But the fact that the group of orcs in the Forest of the Forgotten had come out of the forest meant that the restriction had been broken.

‘What on earth is going on?’

As he was thinking deeply Zeke remembered what the hermit had said when he had met him before that he had dealt with many demons.

‘Could it be that we were dealing with the demons that poured out from the Forest of the Forgotten back then?’

I tried to ask when he came out of the forest but the orc was already dead.

Zeke absorbed dead orcs and used his shadow mastery and dragon senses to read the memories of other orcs.

‘The orcs raided and took over the ogre village inside the forest.’

The orcs were taking over the ogre villages and enslaving them.

Zeke was convinced that the emergence of the Orcs an ancient race was connected to the Abyss.

‘Orcs are also a race that worships the Riders of Blood and Madness. It is possible that the Abyss resurrected them along with the Demons.’

To get a better look at the situation Zeke flew his new model to the ogre settlement where the orcs were staying.

* * *

thud!

Taugar a great orc warrior defeated the Ogre King the ruler of the Ogre village with his bare hands.

This caused the Ogre King to collapse on the ground bleeding.

Taugar placed his foot on the dead Ogre King’s head and struck a victor’s pose.

“Kueuuuuuuuu!”

As the Taugar let out their characteristic battle cry the Orcs watching them also cheered and praised them.

Taugar now ruled over three ogre tribes.

He celebrated his victory by tearing off the arm of the Ogre King he had killed and chewing it with his strong teeth.

But then a wizard in black robes approached Tau.

“Tauga. We have a problem.”
