A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 369

Episode 369
Woohoo!
A brilliant light emitted from the Roland embedded in Nightgon’s body.
But at some point Nightgon’s body disappeared like smoke.
‘how?’
Soul sealing captures the soul itself.
That is why no enemy has ever been able to escape the chains of soul sealing.
But as if to mock Zeke’s thoughts Nightgon reappeared at the altar where he had originally been.
Nightgon took out his scythe and began to recite a spell.
A red portal appeared to be opening up ahead.
‘The bastard is trying to run away!’
Ziggy swung his holy light down where Nightgon was.
Kwakwakwakwang!
A blast of light rained down on Nightgon’s head.
But this time Nightgon turned into smoke and dispersed then appeared on the other side.
Zeke took a deep breath and glared at Nightgon who was holding a scythe.
‘There’s something wrong with escaping from the soul sealing spell.’
When the rolling ball split I thought it was a tactic using illusions.
But when the ball exploded I realized that all this was not an illusion but reality.
It was clear that Nightgon who had received the power of the One Who Infinitely Greeds was also using some strange method.
‘Arataso don’t you know anything?’
Arataso hesitated in response to Zeke’s question and then opened his mouth.
‘Little is known about the power of the One Who Infinitely Greeds. His followers are also strange people so I have not approached them.’
Then as if something had occurred to him Arataso added:
‘Come to think of it… The followers of the endlessly greedy ones never hesitated to pay any price to obtain what they wanted.’
‘Pay the price?’

‘That’s right in the Demon World human souls are used as currency. They don’t feel sorry for them and easily pay for what they want.’
When Zeke heard Aratasso’s words something suddenly came to mind.
‘no way….’
Arataso was more surprised by Zeke’s reaction.
‘Did you figure something out?’
Zeke held his sword and glared at Nightgon then rushed at him again and unleashed a barrage of light.
This time too Nightgon’s body was enveloped in light and disappeared then appeared somewhere else.
Zeke captured the moment when Nightgon reappeared with his eyes wide open.
‘It didn’t disappear. It… split up in an instant.’
The original body has clearly disappeared.
But in an instant a clone identical to the original was created.
Zeke saw the sight and realized the power of the one who was endlessly greedy.
‘The bastard’s ability is to multiply through division.’
Realizing Nightgon’s abilities Zeke grabbed his sword and charged straight at the guy again.
Clang!
Chains wrapped around Nightgon’s body.
Zeke quickly stabbed Roland into Nightgon’s body.
And this time he summoned a different power not the power of purification.
Wooooow!
Zeke injected his will to break the spirit into Nightgon’s body.
Then Nightgon showed a look of confusion unlike before.
“Threat detected. Target eliminated.”
Nightgon’s eyes flashed and black energy emanated from his body.
In that moment another arm shot out from Night Gon’s body grabbed another scythe and swung it at Zeke.
Just like Viper a strange energy flowed from the scythe that Nightgon swung.
Wheeeeeek!
In that moment Zig’s body disappeared without a trace.
It was the power of the spirit transformation contained in the scabbard.
Choaaaak!
As the scythe passed over the space where Zeke had been a long line was drawn there.
Nightgon turned his head to find where Zeke was as he disappeared without a trace.
But there was no sign of Zeke anywhere.
“Initiate target detection.”
While Nightgon was scanning the surroundings and tracking Zeke he entered the boundary of the dimension and watched the situation.
He approached the crack in space that Nightgon had created earlier.
Surprisingly the cracks were visible even at the dimensional boundary.
‘I was right.’

Arataso who was watching this asked Zeke curiously.
‘What exactly is true? Does it have to do with the ability of the endlessly greedy?’
Zeke nodded at Aratasso’s words.
‘Yes their abilities are division and multiplication. If my guess is correct it seems that those who are endlessly greedy have the ability to divide and multiply anything.’
Arataso was surprised by Zeke’s words.
‘Anything that divides and multiplies?’
‘Yes I said earlier that those guys easily give away their souls for trade. Those souls are probably ones that have increased in number through repeated division and multiplication.’
Arataso responded as if he had a feeling about something in response to Zeke’s words.
‘Now that I think about it I remember what the guy who dealt with them said. He said that it was definitely a soul but that there was something strange about it.’
‘They consider the soul itself as currency so they think that if they just get the numbers right they’ve paid the right price.’
Zeke said pointing to the rift in space that Viper had created with her scythe.
‘It was not the power of the endless greedy one that created this rift. Perhaps it was the power of another constellation borrowed at a price.’
At Zeke’s words Arataso also observed the energy he felt from the crack.
‘Huh? It’s true. The energy is different. I can feel the energy of the ‘unbridgeable gap.’
‘The bastard has two abilities. The first is regeneration through division and the second is an ability borrowed from a fake master.’
As he was organizing his thoughts Zeke felt that his time in the dimensional rift was almost over.
Zeke took a deep breath and spoke to Arataso.
‘Arataso. You need to help me.’
* * *
“Hmm where did you go?”
Viper was hovering in the air perched on a long scythe handle searching for the missing Zeke’s location.
The wizards of the Abyss quickly located Zigg’s location and informed him.
Viper who had planned to take Zeke out to play right away decided to watch for a while as he was interested in how Zeke dealt with Nightgon.
Thanks to this the wizards had no choice but to quietly watch the battle between Zeke and Nightgon.
Viper was confident that Zeke would not run away.
“There’s absolutely no way I’m just going to leave.”
But then it happened.
Boom!
Aratasso half-human and half-horse emerged from the dimensional rift swinging a green spear.
Viper who had been watching this in a listless posture was startled.
“Who is that? Isn’t that the miser Arataso?”
Since they were both high-level demons Viper immediately recognized Arataso.
Aratasso summoned by Zeke stabbed the spear he was holding into the ground.
Woohoo!
Then green power spread out and a barrier was created.
Tsk tsk tsk―
The green barrier created by Arataso had a power much stronger than the resonance barrier that Sieg had deployed.
Nightgon seemed flustered and tried to escape the green barrier that Arataso had created.
But then it happened.
Zeke appeared from behind and raised his hammer towards Nightgon.
After the battle with the Emperor the technique changed from hunting giants to hunting demons so it was possible to strike directly at the souls of the demons more than before.
Zig swung his hammer at Nikegon while unfurling his golden field.
Boom!
In that one room Nightgon’s body was shattered into pieces.
The parts that made up the body were scattered and flying around.
In an instant Nightgon’s body was about to disappear again producing black smoke.
Ziggy applied a wide-area buff to his curse reflection expanding the skill to the entire area.
Tsk tsk tsk―
After dividing and trying to multiply again Nightgon was hit by Zeke’s curse reflection and was unable to return to his original state.
Zeke found the head and the hand holding the scythe among the scattered parts of the Nightgon.
He split the mask of the Nightgon and saw the natural blood stone inside then immediately reached out and pulled it out.
At the same time Nightgon stopped operating.
Then Zeke picked up the scythe that Nightgon was holding.
‘What incredible magic. Just holding it makes me dizzy.’
As with the Riders of Blood and Madness the Nightgon’s divine waters were imbued with the power of the fallen constellations.
Zeke immediately threw Nightgon’s scythe into the shadow and absorbed it.
[Absorbs the divine water imbued with the power of the ‘Endless Greeder’.]
[The consumed stamina and mental power mana replenishes.]
[You acquire the skill ‘Clone (A-Class)’ derived from the power of the ‘Endless Greeder’.]
[The skill ‘Curse Reflection (A-rank)’ proficiency increases and changes to the skill ‘Haeju (S-rank)’.]
[The skill ‘Demon Hunting (S-rank)’ proficiency increases.]
By absorbing the scythe you can gain a new skill called ‘Clone’ through the abilities contained within it and increase the proficiency of other skills.
‘Is the power of the endlessly greedy a curse-type power? It’s hard to raise the proficiency of curse-related skills so this is good. It will be helpful in dealing with sorcery in the future.’
As Zeke defeated the Nightgon the gate floating above the altar began to slowly close.
When the Nightgon that had been maintaining the power of the fallen constellation disappeared the gate that had been opened by that power closed.
‘The gate is gone so no more monsters will come out.’
Even though there were still a lot of monsters if we held out on the walls we could easily deal with them when reinforcements arrived.
Zeke summoned a tyrant to confuse the monsters from behind.
But then Arataso shouted at Zeke.
[Damn the viper is here!]
Immediately after Arataso’s warning applause and laughter were heard in the air.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Krrrrrr!
A viper came down riding a scythe.
He said looking at Zeke.
“I’m surprised! I never thought you’d be able to handle that doll!”
Viper waved his hand as he watched Arataso unfolding a barrier.
“Hello Arata Sodo! I wondered where you went after leaving the castle empty but I had no idea that you would become a pet of a dirty human. Now that you’re here it suits you well. When I become its master you will become my pet’s pet! Okay?”
Zeke could feel the power of the upper-level demon as he watched Viper move without hesitation even in the barrier area of Arataso.
Arataso shook his head as he looked at Viper.
[I would rather choose to disappear than be under a crazy demon like you.]
Viper heard Aratasso’s words and held his stomach in laughter wondering what was so funny.
Then suddenly he stopped laughing straightened his posture and looked at Zeke.
“Hmm I can sense the aura of a dragon from you so I guess you have some kind of connection to the dragon currently shielding the wall.”
As soon as he said those words Viper suddenly flew into the air.
Then he swung his scythe sharply toward the castle wall.
Then a shadow of a giant scythe appeared in the air and fell straight into the shield created by Hades.
Kwajijijik!
The shadow of the giant scythe created a crack in Hades’ shield.
The demons in the air took advantage of the gap and rushed toward the crack in the shield.
Kwakwakwakwang!
As the demons self-destructed just like before more cracks began to appear in the shield.
Zeke watched the whole situation and felt that Viper’s abilities were more powerful than he had expected.
‘It still takes some time for the troops to arrive.’
Viper who had descended from the air towards Zeke laughed as if he found it amusing.
“How is it? Is it more fun now?”
Zeke drew Bahamut and aimed it at Viper.
“There’s no time. Come quickly.”
Viper laughed and held his stomach at the sight.
“Humans are so funny! It’s so funny to see insect-like creatures wriggling around like that!”
The giggling Viper snapped his fingers.
Then something popped out of the forest.
Surprisingly it was a bizarre creature made by assembling the bodies of monsters and wizards here and there.
The wizard’s head attached to the monster’s body continued to chant spells while shedding tears of blood.
Tsk tsk tsk―
Keuuuuuuuu!
The monsters screamed and rushed towards Zig.
Zig took up the hammer and unfurled the Holy Grail.
Pfft pfft pfft!
A strong bolt of light shot out from the hammer and Zig jumped into the air and swung the hammer at the monster.
Boom!
In one room the monster’s body was scattered and sprayed in all directions.
Wow! Wow!
Zeke swung his hammer ceaselessly towards the rushing monsters striking them with iron clubs of light.
Before he knew it the monsters were scattered into a mess in Zig’s hands.
Viper who was sitting on the scythe while floating in the air looked at Zeke with interest.
“It’s still fun!”
It was when Viper was absentmindedly watching the fight between Zeke and the monsters.
Suddenly something appeared behind Viper without any warning.
It was none other than Zeke who was holding up Bahamut.
Viper flinched and tried to dodge but Zeke’s attack was faster.
Choaaaak!
Bahamut slammed down like lightning towards Viper.
