A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 314
by Jessie@AFNCC
Episode 314
The Colossus soldier emitted light from the front towards the flying Zeke holding the Colossus Hunter.
Kwakwakwakwa!
The giant hunter with the zeppelin charged straight into the giant’s chest cutting through the giant’s light.
Kkwadduk!
Zeke’s body became a solid bullet and passed through the giant’s chest.
Gooooooooooo―
The giant with his chest pierced staggered back swinging his arms in an attempt to grab Zeke.
“Where!”
Zig turned and swung his dragon claw straight at the giant.
Choaaaak―
Clear claw marks scratched the mask covering the giant’s face.
Card grab!
The giant stepped back holding his face with his hand as if trying to protect the mask covering his face.
‘Is that a weak point?’
Zig swung the Colossus Hunter hard aiming for the Colossus’ mask.
Boom!
A powerful blow struck the giant’s face.
Grrrrrrrrrrrr―
The giant swung his hands wildly to catch Zig.
Zeke continued to swing his hammer charging it with spiritual power while avoiding the giant’s attacks.
Damn it!
The sturdy mask gradually began to crack.
‘It’s now.’
Zeke took advantage of the gap and jumped into the air attacking the colossus’ mask that had been cracked by the dragon’s roar.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!

A pattern emerged from the chest where the middle sword was located and a powerful light poured out from within it.
The dragon’s roar pierced through the giant’s hand and hit his mask.
Tsk tsk tsk―
The compressed mana shattered the mask covering the giant’s face.
thud!
At the same time the giant fell to the ground.
The giant’s face was revealed as the broken mask fell away.
Zeke looked at the giant’s face and realized what Aratasso meant.
‘You said they were close to the Nephilim. They gave me a similar feeling to the Snow Queen.’
The giant’s face hidden behind a mask had no nose or mouth and only had eyes filled with a mysterious light.
Zeke looked into the giant’s eyes and realized that as Aratasso had said he was closer to a spirit than a normal creature of the phenomenal world.
Unlike the aura he had previously displayed the giant looked at Zeke with calm eyes.
―Thank you for freeing me from my long-standing bondage….
The voice was transmitted straight into my head.
Zeke thought back to the swamp master who had said something similar before.
‘The original soul was sealed and bound inside a body that had been modified into a weapon of war.’
Woof woof woof!
A white light emerged from the giant’s body.
The light scattered and spread throughout the land.
At the same time the light disappeared from the giant’s eyes.
‘A guardian created by the god of the earth. Has he returned to the embrace of the god?’
Zeke looked at the giant whose soul had left him.
‘I’d rather just leave it and absorb it because I don’t know what the Empire bastards might do next.’
Zeke made sure there was no one around and used his absorption skill towards the giant’s body.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk―
The giant’s body disappeared into Zeke’s shadow and a message window appeared.
[Absorbed the Guardian of the Contaminated Land a target for slaughter.]
[Binge-eating creatures designated for slaughter increases the level of the Absorb skill as a reward.]
[The consumed stamina and mental power mana replenishes.]
[The Dragon Warrior’s skill level increases from Beginner to Expert.]
[The skill level of the Giant Hunting skill increases from Adept to Expert.]
[Earn 2000 Karma Points.]
[You will receive 1 special random box.]
Having absorbed the giant’s body Zeke was able to receive considerable compensation.
After checking the message Zeke spread his dragon wings and returned to the canyon.
At that moment the barbarians who were hiding to avoid the giants’ attack ran towards Zeke.
“Brother Zeke!”

The barbarians gave a thumbs up to Zeke who had defeated not only the dragon but also the giant.
As Zeke looked at them he suddenly remembered the giant’s guardian tower in the rock tribe village.
‘What is the relationship between barbarians and giants?’
At that moment Adnan and Bodmir appeared towards Zeke.
Bodmir said as he looked at the collapsed ravine here and there.
“Whew. The cliff collapsed and I really thought I was going to die. What the hell happened?”
It seemed that he was inside the cave and did not see the giant soldiers running wild.
Zeke said looking at Adnan.
“Have you found the cause of the dimensional gap?”
Then Adnan nodded and took something out of his bosom.
It was a strangely shaped table covered in rust.
It was engraved with images of monsters suffering humans and all sorts of unclean things mixed together and screaming.
“What is this?”
Adnan took out a cigarette lit it and said blowing out smoke.
“It’s a mark of the devil. Using its power he opened a dimensional rift and drew power from there to control monsters.”
Zeke remembered what the dead wizard of the Abyss had said earlier.
‘You said it was the divine water’s correction effect. Then this must be the divine water of the rider of blood and madness.’
Adnan said putting the cigarette he had smoked into his pocket.
“This is giving me a headache. If there’s evidence like this then they can create dimensional rifts anywhere.”
“Are you going to take this to Hightable now?”
Adnan nodded.
“That’s right. After confirming this from above they will take appropriate action and give a mission. We will just follow that.”
He took the badge of the Rider of Blood and Madness and looked at Zeke and said.
“Drake’s Knight. This time we owe you a favor. Next time we’ll repay this debt.”
Bodmir waved at Sieg.
“See you next time!”
Adnan and Bodmir left without a second thought. After watching them for a while Zeke crossed the canyon with the barbarians to join Helen and her party.
The canyon collapsed here and there due to the light of destruction fired by the giant soldier and most of the monsters were buried under the debris.
‘The fallen constellation’s sacred waters have disappeared and all those controlling them have died so the monsters must have scattered here and there.’
Monsters originally rarely formed groups except for certain individuals.
If it spread throughout the ghetto area it could be a threat but the area would not be completely isolated as it is now.
Zig who was feeling a little relieved hurried his movements and found Helen and her group across the canyon and the wasteland.
But then Helen and her group were seen fighting the demons.
Zeke shouted at the barbarians.
“let’s go!”
The barbarians charged towards the demons shouting battle cries.
Kwakwakwang!
Zeke and the barbarians pushed their way through the demons and approached Helen.
“Sister!”
Helen swung her sword at the rushing demon and knocked it down.
She smiled when she heard Zeke’s voice.
“Zeke! You’re safe!”
Zeke was relieved to see that Helen and her group were safe.
Fortunately he was able to escape the canyon before the giant woke up and avoid being buried in the dirt.
With the help of Zeke and the Barbarians the group made their way through the wasteland and arrived near the autonomous region.
But then a problem arose.
“The autonomous district is under attack by monsters.”
The autonomous district was structured so that it would be difficult to withstand if many monsters pushed forward with brute force as it only had barbed wire to protect the area outside of the earthen walls.
The Crouching Flame’s Song lifted the iron bar with an angry expression as it looked at the monsters surrounding the autonomous district.
“I will defeat them and save my comrades.”
At those words Zeke stopped the song of the crouching flame.
“If you just go in without thinking the damage could be even greater.”
Even from a distance the number of monsters attacking the autonomous district seemed to exceed several hundred.
Zeke was more concerned about Big Joe’s health than anything else.
He was old and had not eaten properly in the fortress for several weeks so his energy was greatly diminished.
Although Zeke occasionally treated the wound with potions and healing this alone had its limits.
Zeek called Richmond which was on the autonomous district side.
‘Richmond.’
Richmond answered Zeke’s call.
‘Master!’
‘How’s the situation inside?’
‘Oh my those damn monsters keep rushing at us without stopping. We’ve currently built a bone wall to block the demons coming from the outskirts but it doesn’t look like we’ll be able to hold out for long. The monsters have all been herded toward the west gate.’
‘Towards the west gate.’
‘Bane and I are blocking the big guys but there are some weird guys standing behind us…’
‘What do you mean they’re strange guys?’
‘You know those guys that used those strange weapons that you caught? They’re knights but they don’t seem like knights…’
Zeke frowned at Richmond’s words.
‘Are you talking about the night killers?’
‘Oh yes! That’s right. They’re shooting at me and Bane too but it doesn’t matter to us but if they hit the knights it’ll be fatal. That’s why they can’t go out of the area.’
The fact that even the Night Killer was deployed meant that Abel’s side had made a move.
‘If Abel had moved himself he would have revealed himself. So… did William Siemens move it?’
Zeke organized in his head what he had heard from Richmond and planned to use the situation to his advantage.
He called his companions together.
“The autonomous region is currently surrounded by three layers of enemies.”
Zig explained drawing on the floor.
The innermost part of the autonomous district was surrounded by monsters and the outer part was occupied by demons.
And finally from a distance Siemens’ Night Killers were targeting enemies coming out.
Zeke said to Helen and Big Joe the song of the crouching flame.
“I will hold off the demons and snipers so you should quickly attack inside while they are still there.”
Zig added specifically referring to the song of the crouching flames.
“The Join tribe should take the lead and lead the troops to the main gate then send a signal to the inside with Gyeomyeongseong to open the west gate.”
The song of the crouching flame nodded at Zig’s words.
“i get it.”
After that with simple instructions the troops prepared and Zig unleashed his Holy Light and gave the weapons of the Suin and Zoid tribes the power of light.
The Join and Suin tribes imbued with the power of light had shining eyes as they recalled Zigg’s words about receiving the Fairy King’s blessing.
“This light will block some of the magic poison so charge straight towards the main gate.”
Everyone nodded at Zeke’s words.
The song of the crouching flame and Helen took the lead and ran forward.
“Let’s go!”
Helen swung her Dragon Buster and cleared a path for the oncoming demons.
At the same time Zeke swung a hammer of light at the demons disrupting their formation.
She felt Zeke’s limitless abilities for real as she watched the lightning bolts of light falling from the sky.
That was when.
Phew!
A bullet fired by the Night Killer flew towards Helen.
In that moment Helen’s bloodline ability ‘magnetism’ kicked in and the bullet bounced off.
‘Is this the sniping Zeke was talking about?’
Zeke warned Helen about the Night Killer’s sniping attack and showed her how to defend herself using her bloodline abilities.
Helen ran close to the crouching flame song Big Joe and blocked the incoming bullets.
Before they knew it Helen and her group were able to break through the barrier and reach where the monsters were.
As the barbed wire fence of the autonomous region came into view the song of the crouching flames shouted out its warning towards it.
Kiyooooooooooooooooooo!
The Join tribe guards inside recognized the signal from the Gyeomyeongseong.
However it was difficult to open the door carelessly because the monsters still remained.
Then something rushed towards the monsters.
Krrrrrrrr―
The Gurav and Shark Dragons appeared.
Kaaa …
As the Gurav unit blocked it the monsters could no longer approach the main gate.
The Join border guards who were observing the situation from inside were startled.
“What is that?”
At that time Boris who was looking at the situation with them recognized Gurav and the Shark Dragons.
‘The boss is back!’
He said to the Joiners.
“That’s our summoner so don’t worry and open the door!”
The Join tribe nodded at Boris’s words and immediately opened the door.
The triple-layered iron gate slid upward.
Helen shouted to her companions as she saw the door open.
“Get in quickly while I block it!”
She held the Dragon Buster and unleashed her bloodline powers.
Clang!
The armor attached to Helen’s body began to change shape.
