A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 363



Episode 363

‘uh?’

For a moment it felt like my whole body had been ripped off.

Zeke took another step back without realizing it.

Zigg was an immortal who could recover immediately even if he was killed.

But aside from that there was something different about Bernas’ sword.

‘What the heck? This is my first time seeing something like this…’

Zeke was reminded by Bernas of Nigel the forest hermit who had been his teacher in his previous life.

‘Could it be that Bernas is also a Grand Master?’

I’m not sure if he’s a grand master but I could feel that he was close to that level.

Zeke caught his breath and picked up his sword again.

“Phew.”

He decided not to hide his status as a black knight any longer.

His posture changed.

Zeke took the Infinite Sword stance.

Then the very energy flowing out of Zeke’s body changed.

Wooooow!

If Bernas’ sword was static Zig’s sword was dynamic.

Because he was an immortal who could not be broken no matter how many times he was hit Zeke was ready to burn and hit his body hard at any moment.

As Zeke’s momentum changed only then did Bernas change his stance from where he had been lowering his sword.

He too put his sword down and aimed it at Zeke.

This time Zeke ran forward first.

He quickly dug into Bernas’s square unfolding his welcome mat.

Shhhh!

His aura-filled sword flew towards Bernas’s side.

It was a fierce attack but Bernas swung his sword and easily parried Zigg’s sword strike.

But Zeke didn’t hesitate and continued to perform the Yongsal technique.

Phew!

The dragon head slash and the dragon heart stab followed almost simultaneously.

The trajectory of the sword swung by Bernas changed cleverly destroying and canceling out Zig’s sword strike.

This time Bernas swung his sword first and attacked Zeke.

Zeke dodged his attack with a welcome gesture and stabbed his sword into the square again.

In an instant dozens of hits collided.

The attack between the two people in the air was so fast that others could not even follow it with their eyes.

Then at one moment Bernas took a step back pulled his sword to his chest and gathered his energy.

Zeke expected that he would finally use the Auror Blade or the Astral Sword.

But Zeke’s prediction was wrong.

Instead of aura blades shooting out from Bernas’ sword a white haze rose from his entire body.

‘That’s?’

At that moment Bernas’ movements were different from before.

Wheeeeeek!

Bernas swung his sword and rushed towards Zeke moving several times faster than before.

Phew!

Zeke raised his sword and blocked Bernas’ attack.

Quaching!

The power of the sword strike felt in my hand was on a different level than before.

‘The speed and power are completely different.’

This was the first attack of this kind.

Bernas’ attacks continued.

Phew!

The static black sword that was shown at the beginning was nowhere to be seen and the strong attack continued to push Zig.

The problem was that the more the swords clashed the more powerful they became.

Quaching!

Zeke deflected Bernas’ attack and stepped back.

‘Phew….’

Even for Zigg who had infinite stamina the attack was so fierce that he could clearly feel the instantaneous drain of stamina and mental power.

Since he was unable to use his skills or other techniques such as the Elemental Sword as usual it was like fighting with his hands and feet tied together.

Then Bernas spoke to Zeke.

“Why aren’t you using the power you received through the blessing of the famous Fairy King?”

Zeke looked surprised when he heard Bernas’ words.

“I thought you wouldn’t like using it since it’s not your power as a knight.”

“Do you think you would make such a sound even if your neck was cut by the enemy’s sword?”

It was a remark that I quite liked.

In my past life I saw many knights die while fighting in real wars and trying to uphold the code of chivalry that was impossible.

Zeke nodded after hearing that.

“Then I will show you everything without hesitation.”

Zik immediately unfurled his Holy Light.

Pfft pfft pfft!

A white sphere appeared above his head.

At the same time Zeke also took out Tyr’s Colossus Hunter from his inventory.

As Zeke raised the giant hunter above his head the power of the Holy Light filled it.

He threw the giant hunter with all his might towards Bernas.

Phew!

The giant hunter flew towards Bernas emitting a bolt of light.

When Bernas saw this he instead ran forward with his sword in hand.

Whee!

He leapt over the giant hunter with light movements and ran straight towards Zeke.

But then it happened.

Clang! Clang!

Zeke pulled the chain that bound the giant hunter causing it to turn around.

The giant hunter returned and took aim at Bernas’ back.

Bernas sensed this and turned around swinging his sword downwards.

Boom!

The giant hunter hit by his sword fell to the ground.

Kkwadduk!

The floor of the smoke chamber made of solid black stone was completely destroyed by the impact and all the surrounding stones were broken into pieces.

But the giant hunter was the bait.

It was just a means to buy time before launching a real attack.

Bernas felt a tingling sensation on his skin as he felt the energy coming from behind him.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk―

A vortex of energy rose from Zeke’s sword and soon a whirlpool formed.

The Astral Sword a sword of will capable of cutting down the source itself was activated.

The audience watching this were startled by the strong energy coming from Zeke’s sword and stepped back in panic.

Zeke’s sword swung towards Bernas.

Sun and Moon Slaughter

Bernas raised his sword at the Astral Sword flying towards him.

Azaleas rose from his body.

In that instant Bernas’ body shot forward as if shot and collided head-on with Zeke’s sword strike.

Bernas had clashed his entire body against the Astral Sword that cut through the source.

At the same time Bernas’ sword cut through the sword strike.

Crunch-

And Zeke saw clearly the truth contained in that appearance.

‘That’s?’

It was not Bernas’s black sword that cut through the sword.

By pushing the sword into the gap in space the sword strike cut through the space itself.

‘Are you saying that kind of attack is possible?’

No matter how big a fire you draw on paper if you destroy the paper itself the fire will disappear.

Bernas’s sword had just pierced through the paper effectively obliterating space itself in the higher dimensions.

That was when.

Pachin!

The sword Bernas was holding broke and fell to the ground.

Bernath’s interdimensional attack was too strong for an ordinary sword to withstand.

He threw the hilt of the sword he was holding onto the floor glanced at Zig and slowly opened his mouth.

“Well it was okay for a kid.”

Then he turned around and left the training ground.

Those who were watching the match had puzzled expressions on their faces as they watched Bernas like that.

‘What what?’

‘I think I saw something amazing but I don’t know what I saw.’

Because the level of competition was so high those who attended the appointment ceremony did not even realize what they were seeing.

That was when.

Carly who had been sitting stood up.

“Zeg Draker the Knight of Salvation has received the approval of Sword King Bernas.”

She who had caught people’s attention looked at Zeke and continued speaking.

“The King of Swords himself has proven that Zeke Draker has ascended to the realm of the Black Knight!”

Participants gaped at the mention of the Black Knight.

“The knight of salvation is a black knight?”

“Wait a minute… Sir Zeke is twenty now?”

“Oh my god a black knight at the age of twenty? Does that make sense?”

It wasn’t long before Abel Draker set a record as the youngest Black Knight to achieve the title but that record has now been broken.

Zeke turned his head and looked at Carly. She smiled at him.

Zeke looked at it and realized Carly’s decision.

‘My older sister has decided to give up the position of successor to me.’

Kali Draker decided to give up her competition with Zeke and help him.

That is why I deliberately asked my master Sword King Bernas to have a showdown with him.

The elders other Guardian Knights and members of the Cross had seen with their own eyes the skill of Zeke as he exchanged swords with Bernas.

A knight with the highest reputation on the continent who has reached the level of Black Knight and has received the approval of the Sword King.

At this point even the stalwart Draker elders could not help but admit it.

Zeke felt grateful for Carly’s consideration.

‘I guess that’s a good thing. I don’t have to fight with Sister Carly.’

Given the nature of the Draker family there was no way of knowing when Carly would use her sword again but it was considered to have passed without a hitch.

Arthur Draker who had been sitting the whole time stood up.

He said looking at Zeke.

“You the youngest have surpassed your brothers and reached the level of Black Knight the fastest.”

Zeke bowed his head to Arthur politely feeling a subtle sense of guilt at the words that seemed to erase Abel.

“This would not have been possible without the consideration of my family and the assistance of Lord Kali Draker.”

Arthur said to Zeke with a satisfied expression.

“I hereby grant to Ser Zeke Draker Black Knight and Guardian Knight of the Drakers the lands of Abel Draker and all his possessions.”

Arthur’s bombshell statement shocked Carly and everyone present.

Arthur continued speaking not paying attention to such reactions.

“Furthermore Abel Draker is excommunicated as a traitor to his family. He can no longer use the Draker name. In addition Draker’s blood ally Siemens is also stripped of its blood ally status.”

The idea was to expel Siemens and Abel from the Drake family.

The key figures of the Central Continent could not help but be bewildered by Arthur’s sudden declaration.

Zeke bowed his head after hearing Arthur’s words.

“I will follow your orders my lord.”

Arthur said to Zeke.

“I hereby assign the first task to Sir Zeke Draker who has been given the title of Guardian Knight. Capture the traitor Abel of his family execute him immediately and stabilize the Empire of Rom.”

Arthur’s words made the atmosphere even more subdued than before.

Currently Abel has taken control of Rom and is preparing to ascend to the throne as Emperor of the Empire.

Arthur’s words were tantamount to a declaration of war against Rom.

There was only one thing on the minds of the attendees.

‘A continental war breaks out.’

Since the Eastern Empire’s expeditionary invasion there had been no large-scale wars in the Central Continent for several hundred years.

If Draker and Rom were to clash the aftershocks of that battle would surely spread across the entire continent.

Attendees with pale faces began to leave the ceremony hall one by one.

This was because they had to inform their home country of this fact as soon as possible.

Arthur chuckled at the sight.

Then he came close to Zeke and whispered in his ear.

“I’m looking forward to it. Please make me happier.”

And so the ceremony to appoint Zeke as his guardian knight ended.

* * *

After the appointment ceremony Zeke went up to his newly assigned office in the Four Seasons Building.

It was the place where Abel had written but there was no trace of him anymore.

Somehow he knew the office itself was decorated to Zeke’s taste.

‘I became Drake’s guardian knight.’

If it was a past life it would have been a place I couldn’t even dream of.

Who would believe that Zeke who was kicked out as a failure at the academy would become the guardian knight symbolizing Draker?

As I was looking out the window at the view of the Four Seasons Castle someone came into my office.

“Sister.”

It was none other than Carly Draker.

“Zeke.”

The two looked at each other and were silent for a long time.

“I have a lot to share with you sister.”

Zeke guided Carly to her seat and quickly brought out the tea.

Carly’s expression as she sat drinking tea looked much more relaxed than before.

Zeke looked at Carly and asked her directly.

“Sister why did you give up the position of successor to me?”

At his question Carly put down the teacup she was drinking.

And then he looked at Zeke and slowly opened his mouth.

“I just thought you would be better at it than me.”

“Are you talking about your job as a successor?”

Carly shook her head at Zeke’s words.

“then…?”

Then Kali unleashed her aura to block out any surrounding noise.

She looked at Zeke and said with a serious face.

“Zeke only you can stop the Draker family.”
