A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 305
by Jessie@AFNCC
Episode 305
Shortly after the Intelligence agents escaped the response Zeke had been waiting for came.
The imperial army began to take action directly.
Instead of returning to the autonomous region Zeke was using his ghost soldiers and summoned creatures to monitor the movements of the Imperial Army.
At some point the ghost soldiers deployed deep inside discovered an abnormal sign.
He looked at those approaching with the eyes of a ghost soldier.
Although they were covered in black cloaks and hoods it was clear that they were Imperial Knights leading their troops.
‘You’ve been caught.’
It seemed that Zig had sent his knights to deal with the situation himself having received intelligence that both the Black Sword Knights and the Join Tribe had fallen to the Hongwha Disease and that he was injured.
As he was examining the Knights a little more closely through the Ghost Soldier’s Sayaya Zeke was suddenly startled.
‘Morgan Buffon?’
Morgan Buffon the commander of the legion personally led the knights of the privateer’s palace.
‘I didn’t think he’d come out in person.’
Zeke had expected that he would send a few knights or some guys from the information bureau but the guy brought the knights himself.
‘If I kill them all and release the monsters the corpses will be disposed of automatically so should I just leave?’
Thinking about it the other way around this meant that Zeke could also secretly kill them and leave the monsters to clean up the mess.
Zeke stood up from his seat with a cool smile.
‘Fall into the trap you guys made yourself.’
His figure slowly disappeared melting into the darkness.
* * *
Doo doo doo doo!
Morgan Buffon ran through the darkness leading the knights of the private palace.
He clenched his teeth and trembled with rising anger.
‘Damn it the Second Prince of all people came here for inspection.’
The second prince Leonard Crowley Constantine seemed oblivious to the fact that he was first in line for succession and he kept bothering him by visiting dangerous battlefields to inspect them.
As a monarch his stance of wanting to gain experience by participating in battles himself was admirable but he did not get along well with Morgan Buffon.

He was mainly responsible for matters related to the dark side of the empire.
This mission in the ghetto area was also carried out in order to gain an excuse to invade the territory by deliberately releasing monsters so many parts had to be carried out secretly.
However the second prince who was ignorant of the ways of the world and believed that nothing could be wrong if everything was done according to principles had always been displeased with Morgan’s actions.
In addition as the Director of the Information Agency changed the 13th Office was reorganized and the situation there became more complicated many tasks were transferred to the Private Intelligence Service and as a result there were too many things that Morgan had to handle himself.
If it were like before this incident would have been resolved by sending a few agents from the Information Agency to cut off the heads of the Join and Suin tribes and then waiting for them to collapse on their own.
But since the Director of the Information Agency was hiding and would not give permission to send an assassin Morgan had no choice but to take action himself.
‘Anyway I have to finish this urgent matter before the Second Prince arrives.’
According to intelligence Zeke Draker was injured by Six and the Joiners and the Black Sword Knights within the autonomous region were all struck down by the Crimson Blight.
For Morgan who had had many of his plans ruined by Zeke Draker’s interference this was a golden opportunity.
He planned to quickly enter the autonomous region kill the guys release the monsters to clean up the mess and then immediately return to the garrison camp.
‘If we take out Zeke Draker Kali Draker will inevitably suffer a blow. Helen Draker is also isolated so this will allow us to take out those troublesome guys all at once.’
As Morgan was organizing his plans Abel Draker suddenly came to mind.
I’ve always felt something eerie about Abel Draker.
However Abel Draker who had become the Black Knight and whom I had not met for a long time had a more ominous aura than before.
‘I guess it’s madness. Anyway he’s a guy I don’t want to get close to.’
From the Empire’s perspective they had a plan to absorb Draker through Abel Draker so Morgan had no choice but to maintain a good relationship with him.
Morgan quickly shook off the thought of Abel as he felt uneasy for no reason and ran towards the autonomous district leading the knights of the private palace.
But then at some point something appeared out of the darkness.
Choaaaak!
The mysterious knight swung his huge sword and cut down the knight in the front line along with his horse.
The knights of the Sagyong Palace drew their swords in confusion.
“The enemy!”
Even in the midst of their confusion they spread out to both sides and surrounded the knight holding the True Sword.
Then he raised his Auror Blade and swung it straight at the enemy.
But surprisingly the knight holding the True Sword seemed to have no intention of avoiding the sword that was rushing at him.
He crouched down for a moment holding his sword in both hands then swung his sword with all his might at the charging knights.
Kwakwakwakwa!
A storm arose in the Chammagum.
Kkwadduk!
All the knights caught in the storm of swords were slaughtered their limbs scattered everywhere.
With just one swing of his sword the entire formation collapsed.
The knights who had barely regained their balance at the rear led their horses again and charged at the mysterious knight.
Phew!
The moment a dozen or so Aura Blades flew in the figure of the knight holding the True Sword disappeared in an instant.
Then after a while he appeared in the air and swung his sword at the knights.
Phew!
Kkwaduk!

He wielded the giant demon sword as if it were his own body and slaughtered the knights of Sagyen Palace.
Morgan Buffon’s face turned pale when he saw that sight.
‘Oh the black knight… The black knight has appeared.’
It was unclear where the black knight who was of national power suddenly appeared.
In order to survive I had to get out of here first.
Morgan ran away without looking back.
“Old Commander!”
The knights of the other palaces were confused and panicked as Morgan ran away in a hurry.
Knight Zeke who was slaughtering the knights also discovered Morgan running away.
‘You can’t miss it.’
He picked up the spear lying nearby and threw it straight at Morgan who was running away.
Shaeeeeek!
The spear pierced through the air and struck Morgan’s back with incredible force.
Phew!
Because he was wearing the Hersion of the Four Views Palace the spear itself could not pass through.
But because the spear had been loaded with a shockwave the shockwave pierced through the armor and penetrated deep into his body.
“Cough!”
Morgan’s body hit by the waves of resonance fell to the floor like a frozen lump of meat.
The knights around them saw the sight and rushed towards Zeke.
“Kill that bastard!”
Zig took up the True Sword again and swung it at the rushing knights of the Sagyeng Palace.
Phew!
As the storm rose again the swords of the knights of the Four Knights were all broken and even the armor protecting their bodies was shattered by the sword strikes.
Soon after Zeke’s magic sword cut off all their heads.
thud!
There was a dull sound and dozens of knights all fell to the ground.
Zeke walked slowly between the knights who had fallen miserably.
Morgan who had fallen to the floor trembled and tried to get up somehow.
But I couldn’t move at all as if my spine had been shattered by the shock wave.
‘Fucking rain…’
He took out the potion he had hidden in his bosom and tried to drink it somehow but his hands were shaking so much that he couldn’t even properly take out the potion bottle.
The sound of footsteps approaching him was getting louder.
Morgan’s hands moved a little faster.
It was at that very moment that he opened the cap of the potion bottle and stuck his tongue out to drink the potion.
puck!
Zeke kicked the potion out of Morgan’s hand breaking it.
Then he stamped on Morgan’s hand with his foot.
Wood crunch!
“Kwaaaaak!”
Morgan screamed in pain as his hand was shattered.
Zeke reached out and grabbed a lock of hair on the back of Morgan’s head.
“It’s been a while Morgan Buffon.”
Morgan was surprised to find the knight’s voice familiar.
Morgan looked up and looked at the knight. Morgan’s face turned pale as he finally saw the knight revealing his face.
“You you… are Zigg Draker!”
He never imagined that the identity of the Black Knight was Zeke Draker.
Zeke said looking at Morgan in astonishment.
“I didn’t think you’d crawl out on your own so that’s good.”
Morgan Buffon was a man who did not hesitate to commit massacre alongside Abel in the Continental War using cruel tactics.
It was better in many ways to get rid of it as quickly as possible.
Morgan looked at Zeke and said.
“Your Majesty Sir! Give me just a moment. Let’s talk things through and resolve this situation.”
He tried to change Zeke’s mind somehow.
But Zeke had no intention of doing that.
Tsk tsk tsk―
Zeke didn’t answer but instead began to search Morgan’s memories using his Shadow Mastery and Blood-Eyed Dragon Sense.
“Krrrrrrr!”
Morgan rolled his eyes and foamed at the mouth in agony as his brain flipped over.
Still Zeke did not stop and searched through the important information of the Empire that remained in his memory.
‘There really is something wrong with the Emperor’s health. I’ll see you tomorrow. Aha the Director of the Information Bureau changed from someone on the Emperor’s side to someone on Consul Julius’s side. Haha you put the 13th room in charge of a retired general instead of someone from the intelligence side? I thought something was off.’
Julius planned to make his second son Leo emperor and then act as regent.
Zeke recognized the face of the Second Prince Leonard Crowley Constantine in Morgan’s memories.
‘The young knight of the empire wearing Hersion whom I saw for the first time while on the island of the sea god.’
I remembered him because he was a knight with quite outstanding skills.
Zeke figured out Leo’s personality through Morgan’s memories.
‘Hmm in this situation there’s plenty of room for them to infiltrate the Empire.’
That was when.
Zeke found someone familiar in Morgan’s memories.
‘Abel….’
Abel Draker was right here.
Surprisingly Abel did not bring his knights with him but stayed at the garrison camp alone with William Siemens.
‘Abel is here alone? Maybe this is the perfect opportunity to deal with him.’
If it were the current ghetto area they could have easily buried the situation even if they had killed Abel here.
“Krrrrrrr!”
Morgan Buffon began to cough up bloody foam and soon his heart stopped and he died.
Zig threw Morgan Buffon to the floor and took Hersion of the Archer from him.
“It was a waste for someone like Morgan to carry around.”
Zig put Hersion into his inventory and summoned Richmond.
“Did you call master?”
“So what’s the situation on your side?”
“There are only monsters that come here occasionally so there aren’t any major problems. Oh as the master said the Empire guys do come to spy on the area around the camp.”
“I see. Make sure they never find out I’m not there.”
“Okay I understand.”
After assessing the situation on the Jinji side Zeke ordered Richmond to bring the monsters over to him.
Richmond was a necromancer who had studied monsters his entire life so even if he had been brainwashed by the Empire it wouldn’t have been difficult at all.
“You guys! Come here! This is a total buffet!”
Richmond waved his staff around and soon nocturnal monsters with ominous eyes appeared.
Krrrr!
Nocturnal monsters rushed in and devoured the corpses of dead knights scattered here and there.
Morgan Buffon’s body also disappeared entirely.
It was a rather tragic end for one of the commanders of the Imperial 13th Legion.
After completely dealing with the Knights of the Sagyeong Palace Zeke returned to the camp.
* * *
“Yes? Are you saying that you will go to the isolated castle alone?”
Decker shook his head at Zeke’s words.
“No sir. It is dangerous for you to go there alone.”
“I spread the rumor that I was injured and couldn’t go anywhere so they’ll probably let their guard down. The longer it takes the worse it’ll be for us.”
In the isolated fortress were Helen and Big Joe the song of the crouching flame.
After rescuing them Zeke planned to set a trap to catch Abel.
Decker eventually nodded knowing that Zeke had already made up his mind.
“I will follow your orders my lord.”
Clone who was standing next to him said tapping the mace with his palm.
“We will break all the monsters’ heads.”
Then Zeke shook his head.
“No you shouldn’t sweep everything away. If you show them that you’re isolated and struggling against the monsters Abel who’s hiding behind the Imperial Army will show up.”
At Zeke’s words Clone smacked his lips as if he felt regret.
Zeke shook his head as he looked at Clone then called the Black Sword Knights together and explained the situation. Before leaving the autonomous district he summoned Richmond and Bane to prepare for any eventuality.
After completing his work within the autonomous district he secretly entered the ghetto area filled with rampant monsters.
