A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 348



Episode 348

Hooooooooooo!

As a strong cold air emanated from Bane’s body frost formed on the walls of the room and the floor was covered in a layer of ice.

The powerful cold storm caused the magicians of the cult and even the knights of Scorpio to retreat.

Bane recited his lines as Zeke had told him to.

『This is the resting place of the great holy king! I will punish those who disturb the holy king’s rest!』

Then the cult wizard pointed at Bane and shouted.

“He’s the guardian guarding the ruins! If you hit him the door will open!”

Calito observed and then gave orders to the knights of Scorpio.

“Kill him!”

The knights followed the order and charged at Bane with their swords drawn.

Kugugugugugu―

Then a strong cold energy flowed out from Bane’s body and enveloped the knights of the Scorpio Palace.

At that time the magicians of the cult recited ominous spells and cast a spell on the knights of Scorpio.

Tsk tsk tsk―

As the black energy seeped into the knights they began to move their shrunken bodies again as if they no longer felt the cold.

The knights whose senses were numb due to magic charged forward heedless of the cold air from Bane freezing their armor and bodies.

Bane was perplexed when he saw such articles.

‘What kind of people are these!’

He had been ordered by Zeke to tie their feet. To carry out this order Bane used another magic.

Tsk tsk tsk!

As Bane swung his staff a wall of ice rose up blocking the approaching knights of the Scorpio Palace.

At the same time he created several ice picks and fired them at the Knights of Scorpio.

Kwakwakwakwa!

The knights of the Scorpio Palace trapped in the ice wall swung their swords and struck down countless falling ice picks.

But then one of the ice picks flew towards Gillian who was behind him.

Kkwadduk!

As the ice pick struck Gillian the magical chains that bound him weakened.

Kuuuuuuu!

Gillian screamed and sat up.

He exerted his strength and tried to break the chains that bound his body.

When Calito saw that he was embarrassed.

“Hey wait a minute!”

Wood crunch!

In a moment Gillian broke the chain.

Wow! Wow!

Gillian who roared like a barbarian ran around without being able to break free from his restraints.

Because the leather restraints with stronger magic were ancient artifacts that could not be broken by force alone.

Gillian began to lunge forward when the restraints wouldn’t come off no matter how hard she struggled.

He leapt forward and dashed straight towards the ice wall.

Kwakwakwakwang!

Gillian’s head hit the ice wall.

Gillian slammed his head against the solid ice wall and hit his torso.

Wow! Wow!

As if trying to break free from the pain of being bound I started to hit my body hard and before I knew it cracks began to appear in the solid ice wall and soon it shattered.

Kwarrrrrr!

As one side of the ice wall broke away Bane couldn’t help but panic.

‘How could a human do something like that? Could that guy be a barbarian?’

Wow! Wow!

Gillian struggled with her bound body howling like an animal.

Calito who had been watching the scene shouted during the gap.

“Now! Kill that Guardian!”

The knights of Scorpio rushed through the broken ice wall towards Bane who was floating in the air.

Phew!

Dozens of knights attacked Bane swinging their aura-infused swords.

Kwakwakwakwa!

Bane leapt into the air and hurled an ice pick at the knights.

But the knights empowered by the cultists struck down all the awls and advanced swinging their swords at Bane.

Bane was bewildered as he watched the Knights of Scorpio lose their senses under a spell.

‘How can living knights not undead do something like that?’

The cold air that Bane summoned had an ice property so strong that it would kill an average person within a few dozen seconds.

The pain of being hit directly by that cold air must have been immense but the knights paid no attention and continued to advance forward and swing their swords.

Among the knights there were some who could not overcome the cold and had frozen legs and arms broken.

However the knights of Scorpio who could not feel pain did not care if their limbs fell off and only attacked.

They looked more undead than the Richie Bane.

The cultists who were watching from behind began to chant ominous spells holding staffs with statues of the constellations hanging from them.

Then a black aura flowed out from the water.

Tsk tsk tsk―

The black energy that flowed out seeped into the noses and mouths of the knights of the Scorpio Palace.

After a while the knights’ lips turned black and their tongues dried and turned black.

Thanks to the power of the black snake in their mouths the knights were able to gain unbreakable flesh in exchange for losing their tongues.

Perhaps because of that the knights’ eyes changed into those of snakes.

Shh …

The knights who had lost their tongues made snake-like sounds and new limbs grew from their fallen limbs which were scaled like those of snakes.

The Knights of Scorpio who had been granted new limbs by the power of the constellations had appearances so bizarre that it was difficult to believe they were human.

The knights of Scorpio transformed into snake knights by the magic of the cult rushed at Bane while making strange noises.

『Ugh!』

Bane jumped back in horror as he saw the knights jumping down from the wall to catch him.

Then a signal came from Zeke.

‘Bane just get back out.’

‘Understood master!’

At Zeke’s command Bane shook off the snake knights and fell back rising into the air.

“You bastards! The punishment of the Holy King will be upon you!”

At the same time as the shout Bane’s body began to glow brightly and soon a strong cold wind enveloped them.

Hooooooooooo!

A strong wind pushed the snake knights away covering the surrounding area with white cold air and then Bane’s figure disappeared without a trace.

Tsk tsk tsk―

As Bane disappeared the cold air that had filled the space also disappeared and the air returned to its original state.

The knights of Scorpio who had become snake knights still searched for Bane who had disappeared while making a hissing sound.

And soon enough the snake knights began to fall to the ground.

Then black smoke rose from their bodies and the snake knights turned into dried-up mummies.

The body could no longer endure it because the life force drawn out by the magic of the cult had run out.

Calito clenched his teeth as he looked at the knights who had been turned into mummies and whose bodies were completely broken.

‘Fuck. If I stay here any longer I’ll end up like that soon.’

He planned to get out of here with his leader Gillian.

As he was rolling his eyes here and there the door behind him suddenly began to open.

Kugugugugugu―

When the door opened without any special ceremony the cult members bowed deeply toward the sacred water and shouted.

“The Holy Spirit has opened the door for me!”

The black snake in the mouth was a constellation that placed importance on trade.

There was no reward without a price.

The cultists were not unaware of this but they could not make the impatient emperor wait any longer so they quickly took action.

The hunting dogs went inside the door first and looked around.

Unlike the catacombs outside the inside was well preserved in its original form.

The hounds were convinced that this was the tomb of the Holy King seeing the architectural style that still retained the culture of the old Luverne dynasty.

The cult wizards who received the report from the hounds went straight to the emperor and reported that the gate of the ruins had opened.

When the emperor heard those words he spoke from beyond the curtain.

“We must take the remains of the Holy King right now. Let’s go.”

The imperial guards carried the emperor’s palanquin into the ruins.

The emperor was impatient.

Because he knew that his soul could leave this wretched body at any time.

The emperor’s palanquin soon arrived at the gate of the historic site.

Having missed his chance to escape Carlito had no choice but to kneel before the Emperor and bow his head.

“Your Majesty! I Calito will devote my body and soul to protecting Your Majesty!”

The emperor did not respond to Calito’s words and led his guards into the ruins.

The remaining Knights of Scorpio followed along with the wizards and hounds of the Cult.

As the Emperor’s side was entering the King’s resting place a loud noise was suddenly heard.

Kugugugugugu―

The door that had been open was starting to close again.

When he saw this Carlito was surprised and tried to use an artifact to escape but surprisingly the magic flowed backwards and did not activate.

Phage support support –

When the expensive artifact stopped working at all Calito panicked and ran quickly trying to escape through the crack in the door.

But it was too late.

thud!

The door was completely closed and the imperial army was trapped inside the sanctuary.

Carlito quickly changed his attitude and shouted at the cult wizards.

“How rude! How dare you close the door in His Majesty’s presence! Open the door now!”

The magicians of the cult were confused when the arrows suddenly turned towards them.

“Oh no that’s….”

There was nothing the cult wizards could do since they had not done anything to open the door.

At that moment the angry emperor’s roar erupted from the palanquin hidden behind a curtain.

“Do not delay and lead us to where the remains of the Holy King are!”

Calito ran straight up to the guards and shouted at the cultists.

“What are you doing! Didn’t you hear what His Majesty said? Hurry up and show us the way!”

The cultists felt something strange about Calito’s attitude but they couldn’t believe that the brainwashing had worn off so they headed forward with the water in their hands.

As they walked along the corridor that preserved the style of the Luverne Dynasty a large door appeared before them.

The magicians of the cult spoke to the Emperor seeing a veil of light drawn on it just like the one they had seen on the door they had to open to enter this place.

“Your Majesty! This time there is no doubt that the remains of the Holy King are there.”

The socialites went straight to the door to make up for their previous mistake.

Then he placed the water near the door.

At that moment the skull on the staff began to shake madly. It was a subtly different trembling than before.

“What what?”

At the same time the door that had been closed slowly opened.

The sorcerers of the cult looked towards the Emperor and shouted.

“Look! Your Majesty! We have finally found the place where the remains of the Holy King are….”

Crunch-

The magicians of the cult were unable to continue speaking properly and were beheaded and their heads rolled off.

thud!

As the wizards of the cult fell to the ground with their necks cut off Calito who was watching was horrified.

‘What what?’

Immediately afterwards the door opened completely and twelve armored knights came out in a line swords drawn.

Knights wearing shining white full plate armor stood guard at the door leading to the resting place.

They were golem knights who guarded the Holy King’s resting place.

Even when the door opened it was impossible to get in because the golem knights whose physiques rivaled those of barbarians were standing guard.

The Emperor shouted at the Golem Knights who were standing in line without moving an inch.

“What are you guys doing! Get rid of them now!”

At the Emperor’s shout the hunting dogs and the knights of Scorpio rushed forward.

“Haaaah!”

The knights of the Scorpio and their hounds swung their swords at the golem knights almost shouting in a frenzy.

But the golem knights stood motionless with their swords raised.

Phew!

The hounds and the knights of the Scorpio felt a sense of discomfort but they struck the armor of the golem knights lined up.

Kkakang!

Amazingly not a single scratch was left on their black armor.

The hounds’ faces turned ashen as they realized the material of the armor.

“Mithril?”

They were all wearing armor made entirely of mithril.

For a moment the eyes of the knights lined up flashed inside their helmets.

Soon the knights who had been standing still began to move.

Choaaaak!

The twelve Golem Knights took out the shields they had on their backs put them in their hands and swung them at the hounds and the Knights of the Scorpion.

Boom!

The hounds and the knights of Scorpio were swept away by the mighty force like fallen leaves in the wind.

“Ugh!”

As those hit by the shield staggered a huge sword flew in.

Choaaaak!

In one stroke the sword split their waists in two.

The survivors were terrified when they saw this and stepped back.

Then the magicians of the cult immediately cast a spell on them again.

“Krrrrrrr!”

In an instant all the surviving knights of Scorpio lost their tongues and turned into snake knights.

Shhhhh!

The Scorpio knights who had become snake knights rushed at the golem knights holding shields.

But the result did not change.

Boom!

All the snake knights who were hit by the shield were crushed into blood clots.

Carlito who was watching from behind clacked his teeth.

‘What the hell are those crazy guys!’

That was when.

The Emperor’s personal guard which had been waiting behind began to move.

Srrrrrr!

Auror blades shot out from the swords drawn by the knights of the guard.

It was at that moment that they were about to charge forward.

Pfft pfft pfft!

Dozens of lightning strikes struck the emperor’s palanquin.
