A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 308



Episode 308

The mood instantly darkened with the low sinister voice and ominous gaze of the Crouching Flame’s Song.

Zeke looked at him and said calmly.

“You can’t tell just by looking at it. I’m grilling meat diligently.”

Then the song of the crouching flame spoke its feathers standing upright.

“Don’t humans even have the basic common sense to not eat monster meat?”

Then Zeke shook his head.

“Originally of course you shouldn’t. But isn’t that because of the toxicity? If you remove the toxicity you can eat it so don’t worry and eat it.”

At those words the crouching flame song tried to strike the stone plate on which the meat was being grilled with the heavy iron bar it was holding.

Phew!

Then Helen who was behind him took out her Dragon Buster and hit the bar with it.

thud!

The song of the crouching flames receded.

Then the Black Wing warriors behind them raised their feathers and aimed at the iron bar.

The song of the crouching flame spoke glaring at Zeke and Helen.

“You foolish humans. The poison in monster meat cannot be removed like that! Even if you don’t notice it now those who eat the meat will soon collapse! Your wrong actions will kill all of our allies!”

Zigg was at a loss as to how to explain the rebuke given by the Crouching Flame’s song.

Zeke thought about it for a while and then said to the knight.

“Go and bring me a bowl of dirty water.”

The knight went straight to the well and fetched a bowl of water.

Although they discovered an old well the water was polluted so they had to let the sediment settle and drink only the clear water from the surface.

“Zeke said pointing to the dirty water.

“Everyone look carefully.”

He used his purification skill on the dirty water.

A golden aura seeped into the water turning the polluted water unbelievably clear.

The Suin tribe as well as the Blackwing tribe warriors behind them were astonished by the miracle that Zeke had created.

“Uh how?”

“Did a miracle happen? A human?”

The song of the crouching flame looked at the purified water and asked Zeke.

“…was a human wizard?”

“I think even a passing orc could tell I’m not a wizard.”

“How is it possible for a knight to do something like this?”

Zick thought for a moment and then spoke slowly.

“I recently went to the Fairy Lake. I met the Fairy King there and was blessed with these abilities.”

When they heard that they had received the Fairy King’s blessing the surrounding water people and birds as well as the knights opened their mouths in amazement.

Everyone looked like they couldn’t believe what Zeke was saying.

“The Fairy King…..”

“Isn’t that something out of a storybook?”

Since no one seemed to believe him Zeke decided to show them something that could serve as evidence.

Zigg was the type to hide his power but he had no choice because building trust was more important than anything else right now.

I was about to take it out thinking that it would be evidence since it was a blessed fairy stone I had received from the Fairy King.

The phoenix that had been hiding in the dimensional rift has revealed itself.

Woohoo―

As the phoenix spread its magnificent wings over Zig’s shoulder and shouted the Phoenix Star the Join tribe was taken aback and retreated.

“Oh my god! That thing…!”

“Look it’s the Phoenix the Phoenix!”

“The legendary beast has appeared!”

Zeke was rather confused as he watched the Blackwing tribe warriors shouting in the Join language.

‘Why are these guys suddenly acting like this?’

A spectacular sight unfolded as warriors of the infamous Blackwing tribe charged fearlessly towards the Imperial Knights shouting their commandments and causing chaos upon seeing the phoenix.

The song of the flames crouching there also had an obviously bewildered look on its face.

“…Are you the real Phoenix?”

Zig nodded in wonder as the song of the crouching flames responded in an unexpected way.

“Yes I was born in the lake of fairies. But why on earth do they react this way?”

The song of the crouching flame swallowed the silence and slowly opened its mouth.

“There was a prophecy.”

“What prophecy?”

He looked at Zeke and said with a displeased expression.

“It was a prophecy that when the divine Phoenix appears the Join tribe will regain their freedom.”

Zeke looked in disbelief as he saw the phoenix sitting on Helen’s shoulder fluttering its wings and singing.

‘Is there some power I don’t know about?’

I had heard that it was a precious omen but it had only recently hatched from its egg so it didn’t have any special abilities.

At that moment the phoenix spread its wings flapped its wings and quickly ate the meat placed on the stone slab.

The Jo In tribe was shocked when they saw that sight.

“Look the Phoenix ate that meat!”

“Are you sure it’s okay?”

The crouching flame song made a complicated expression then approached the stone slab picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

He chewed and swallowed the meat then looked at Zeke intently.

After a moment he turned his head and nodded to the other Blackwing tribe warriors.

Then the Blackwing tribe warriors suddenly rushed in front of the grill and stuffed meat into their mouths.

“Wow it’s been a while since we had meat!”

“It’s delicious. It’s delicious.”

Zig made a dumbfounded expression as he watched the Zun warriors eating meat more diligently than the Suin tribe who had been making a fuss as if they had been poisoned earlier.

The Jo-in tribe who had eaten all the meat cleanly stood up straight again with their eyebrows furrowed as before.

But there was still a greasy sheen around the beak.

As expected the crouching flame song that had eaten its fill of meat suddenly lifted the horizontal bar and shouted out a command.

“Arararararara!”

Then the other Join tribes behind them also started shouting their commandments.

“Ararararara!”

“Kiyooooooo!”

As the morning glory rang out the phoenix also became excited and shouted the phoenix star from Helen’s shoulder.

Woohoooooo―

The Phoenix Fortress had the power to drive away evil spirits and bring good luck.

The fortress which had been silent began to come to life at the sound of the phoenix’s song.

After shouting out the commandments the song of the crouching flames suddenly led the warriors out of the fortress.

Those who remained inside the fortress could not help but panic.

“Are those guys crazy?”

The Suin tribe clucked their tongues as they watched the Join tribe running out of the fortress patting their swollen bellies while lying on their sides.

And after a while the Joiners captured several Minotaurs and returned to the fortress.

thud!

The crouching flame song that had placed the Minotaur in front of Zigg spoke with sharp eyes.

“A warrior of the Blackwing tribe never eats for free.”

Then he looked at Zeke blankly along with the other Blackwing tribe warriors.

‘You’re saying you want it cooked more?’

Zeke read the hidden meaning in their actions and laughed inwardly but he had to eat well to regain his strength anyway.

Zeke dismembered and purified the minotaur captured by the Blackwing tribe then grilled its meat again.

Big Joe who had grasped the situation saw this and ordered his subordinates to catch monsters that looked tasty.

In the end thanks to Zeke’s efforts the people in the fortress were able to eat well and recover their stamina.

The tiger Suin who was guarding the door was hit by Zeke and knocked out but after eating the Minotaur meat he showed amazing resilience and was walking around normally.

Zig nodded at the sight. The unique resilience of the water people is very effective on the battlefield.

It wasn’t for nothing that Suin was considered the best among mercenaries.

However most of the beast-type creatures were hot-blooded and often caused accidents so there were quite a few mercenary groups that avoided them.

It was also because of this unique ferocity that the Suin were unable to integrate into the society of the Central Continent like the dwarves and other races.

With his hunger satisfied and his energy restored Zeke resumed his meeting with Big Joe the Crouching Flame Song.

“The Join tribe will abide by Kali’s conditions.”

Surprisingly the crouching flame song that had been coming out stiffly was the first to step forward and accept the offer.

‘Could it be that you really changed your mind because of the phoenix?’

The Join tribe was one of the most mysterious races along with the Nagas.

Their priests often received revelations and made prophecies that foresaw the future.

The priest’s prophecy was a very important revelation to the Zou tribe so the appearance of the phoenix seemed to have great significance to them.

Big Joe nodded as he listened to the words of the song of the crouching flame.

“The Phoenix is ​​certainly a good enough sign to serve as a justification for the alliance.”

Even Big Joe seemed to welcome the appearance of the phoenix.

The phoenix which had nothing but pretty fur had accomplished quite a feat.

Then Big Joe said to Zeke.

“If the Western Alliance is formed I would like to hear specific details about what kind of help Kali Kyung will provide.”

Zeke definitely felt that Big Joe was no pushover.

‘From the perspective of forming an alliance it’s good to be certain like this.’

Zig handed over to Big Joe the list he had prepared separately. It contained items of support that he intended to show to him when the alliance was going in a positive direction.

Big Joe looked over the list and smiled with satisfaction.

“Are you really okay with these conditions? They are definitely favorable to us.”

“Kali Kyung does not want to ask anything of you. She only wants to support the alliance of the Suin tribes so that the Ghetto region can stand as an independent region.”

Of course it wasn’t just a matter of supporting the alliance between the Suin and the Join tribes out of good will. This would serve as a breakwater for the Western Alliance to prevent the Imperial Army from advancing which would be a great help to Kali and Zik in keeping the Abel faction in check.

Big Joe nodded at those words.

“Well Crosstel also agrees to Lord Kali’s offer. But there is one condition.”

Zeke said looking at Big Joe.

“What is it?”

Big Joe said with a smirk.

“I would like to have Sir Zeke Draker continue to participate as a messenger and mediator of the alliance. How about that?”

The crouching flame song next to him also nodded in agreement.

“Does that mean you will trust me and make a treaty?”

Big Joe responded with a smile.

“Of course. If he’s a human who carries around a divine being wouldn’t he be trustworthy enough?”

The song of the crouching flame also silently agreed while looking at Zig.

Thanks to the absolute faith of the Jo-in and Su-in in Shin-su the treaty was eventually resolved.

After finalizing the details of the treaty Zick set about making the next plan.

“We can’t survive here eating monsters any longer so we’ll have to move to the autonomous district.”

The leaders of both groups agreed with Zeke’s words.

However it was impossible to go there on horseback because all the horses that had come here had been eaten.

Zig asked the song of the crouching flame.

“Is there a faster way besides through that canyon?”

The song of the crouching flame shook its head.

“The only way to get there quickly is from here.”

There was no choice but to go through the canyon that Zeke had passed through and head towards the autonomous district.

Zeke decided to first move to the autonomous region to secure safety and then deliver the details of the alliance treaty to the Cali side.

If there was an alliance treaty there would be no problem for Kali’s army to enter the ghetto area and subdue the monsters.

‘No matter what happens we must protect the Crouching Flame Song and Big Joe create the Western Alliance and announce it.’

They had to hold out in the west to pressure the Empire and take advantage of its weaknesses.

The next day Zeke and his men left the fortress packed tightly with minotaur meat jerky and drinking water.

As they all came out a swarm of monsters came running towards them after smelling the scent.

Zigg held the sword of the devil from the side and shouted the lion’s mantra.

Grr …

After Zeke’s death the monsters retreated slowly.

Immediately Zeke threw a sun bullet at the monsters.

The sunshot exploded blinding the monsters with its flash of light.

“Move quickly during this gap!”

The song of the crouching flame and Helen took the lead and broke through the monsters blocking their way.

The warriors of the Join tribe and the warriors of the Suin tribe followed suit.

Several of the Suin warriors ran quickly carrying Bigjo who had a bad leg on a palanquin.

Krrrrrr!

Then at one moment a group of berserk monsters blocked the flanks and rushed at Zeke.

Hersion swung Bahamut which had been transformed into a true magic sword by Zigg at the monsters.

Choaaaak!

As he swung his magic sword a dozen monsters fell with a single strike.

Zigg immediately used his absorption skill causing shadows to ripple and engulf the dead monsters swallowing them up.

Since I was able to replenish my strength while fighting I was able to continue swinging my sword without getting tired.

But then suddenly the monsters were seen slowly retreating.

‘Why are they acting like that?’

And after a while a sound was heard that shook the entire wasteland.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

When Zeke looked towards where the sound was coming from he saw something huge running towards him.

‘That’s?’

Kwaaaaah!

From across the wasteland three barbarians ran toward Zeke shouting.
