A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 370



Episode 370

Kkwadduk!

Bahamut split Viper’s body vertically.

‘Did you harm me?’

Zeke had created another version of himself by absorbing the scythe of the Infinitely Greedy and using Belial’s power ‘Deception’ to deal with the monsters created by Viper.

Belial’s power of deception did not end with simply deceiving others but had a real impact on reality.

It was a terrifying power that made it impossible to distinguish between reality and fantasy as if the target was actually perceiving the heat and receiving a real burn if they were to deceive based on the attribute of being hot.

While Zeke’s materialized clone was fighting the monsters he used his spirit transformation skill to target Viper.

It wouldn’t have been strange if Viper had been killed with a single blow of the sword as he had used his Haeju skill and the golden skill ‘Will to Shatter’ to bring down the sword.

At that moment steam began to pour out from the viper’s split body.

Chwiiiiiik―

Soon the steam gathered and the original viper emerged.

Viper turned his neck scythe in his hand and glared at Zeke.

“What an insolent human being…”

Zeke charged straight at Viper without giving her a chance.

Woohoo!

Zeke put Bahamut away and took out his hammer again swinging the hammer with great force and striking Viper’s body.

Boom!

Viper’s body exploded and fell apart as the hammer struck her.

Zeke unleashed his power of freezing towards the scattered bodies of the Vipers.

Tsk tsk tsk!

The sub-zero temperatures froze Viper’s scattered bodies.

Zeke looked around cautiously and picked up a giant scythe that had fallen on the ground.

Woohoo!

The scythe vibrated and rejected Zig’s touch.

‘It’s no use rebelling.’

Zeke didn’t care and just tried to absorb the scythe through the shadow.

But then something flew from behind.

Boom!

A huge impact was felt on the back of the Helm of Hersion worn by Zeke.

When he looked back he was surprised to see Viper who had returned to his original state looking down at Zeke.

Viper was glaring at Zeke with an extremely heated expression instead of the playful smile he had before.

Before he knew it the scythe that Zeke had been holding had melted and disappeared and was once again in Viper’s hand.

“You damned punk! Your damn weapon! What the hell is that! How many times did it clone itself…?”

In that moment Viper realized he had made a mistake.

Zeke said looking at Viper as if he knew that would happen.

“I had my hopes up and it was as expected. You are not a high-level demon viper. You are the ‘Endless Greed’ who controls the clone body itself.”

When Aratasou heard that he was terrified and shouted.

[That guy is a constellation what does that mean! That guy is his subordinate Viper….]

Zeke shook his head.

“It was known that way. But I told you. Those who covet endlessly can experience division and multiplication of the soul.”

Zeke said aiming at the Viper.

“Viper known as the superior demon. That guy is a clone created by the soul of the one who is endlessly greedy splitting and multiplying.”

Arataso shook his head as if he couldn’t believe what Zeke said.

[No way! Why would you use your own soul to create a clone when you can just accept the clan?]

At those words Zeke looked at Viper and said.

“A person who is endlessly greedy only has greed and no ability to pass it on to his subordinates so that must be the case.”

[what?]

Arataso couldn’t believe what Zeke said.

The endlessly greedy one he knew was as Zeke had said very greedy. However it was a constellation with powers as strong as greed.

Sensing Arata’s confusion Zeke aimed his hammer at Viper and said.

“That bastard only has the ability to split and multiply souls to create fictitious currency. So when he needs something he takes the multiplied souls and pays for them. He must have packaged his abilities with what he got through trade and instilled fear in the demon race with his crazy clones. With terrible pranks and lies.”

Viper having heard everything Zeke had to say twirled his scythe.

All of the playful attitude from before was gone and he looked like he was going to tear Zeke to pieces at any moment.

He opened his mouth to speak to Zeke.

“That worm-like human is talking nonsense.”

“Zeke said tapping the hammer with his palm.

“Let’s see if this is nonsense or not. It looks like you put the most effort into Viper out of all the clones you have. I’m going to test how many more of these clones you can create.”

The endlessly greedy one was using the proliferated souls to deceive Karma and control the clones that had their powers.

If all the souls that had paid were to disappear they would be subject to karmic sanctions again.

Wheeeeeek!

Viper swung his scythe around and stuck the blade into the ground.

Tsk tsk tsk―

As the scythe’s blade plunged into the ground a strange energy seeped into it.

Kkwaddudduk!

The ground split open and giant demon-like warriors including red-armored knights and black-armored skeleton knights began crawling out.

Arataso was surprised to see the demon world’s followers crawling out from the ground.

[Oh my! That’s a Blood Knight from Bloodkeep a Knight from Abaddon’s Abyss… and a Demon Warrior who only follows the ‘Lord of the Lowest’?]

Arataso couldn’t help but be terrified when he saw the so-called Demon World’s servants crawling out from under the ground.

Dozens of his followers crawled out from under the ground and showed their killing intent towards Zig.

Viper was staring at Zeke with his scythe still embedded in the ground.

He said looking at the Viper.

“Looking at the strong faction it seems like they didn’t completely take the picture and traded the right to borrow it. It looks like the sickle is a token of the deal.”

The endlessly greedy one who controlled the Viper clone gnashed his teeth at Zeke’s words.

He knew all too well the principles and physiology of the deal between humans and demons. Every word he said felt as if his innermost thoughts were being dug up one by one.

He shouted at the servants he had borrowed.

“Tear that bastard to pieces right now!”

Wow!

First a three-headed werewolf-like demon warrior charged at Zeke.

The beast warriors who served the ‘Lord of the Lowest Place’ such as Gries Modal the master of the 999 beasts who had part of their souls absorbed by Zeke were as powerful as they were ferocious.

But the ferocity of the Demon Warrior was useless against Zeke’s hammer.

Boom!

With one blow of the hammer charged with gold the demon warrior was slammed deep into the ground.

Krrrrrrrr―

The other demon warriors bared their teeth and rushed at Zeke threateningly.

Zeke also went straight towards the demon warriors with his hammer and clashed with them.

Boom!

With each swing of the hammer the bones of the Demon Warriors shattered and their sharp teeth shattered and flew in all directions.

Zeke displayed his demon hunting skills without hesitation and destroyed the demon warriors’ skulls in one fell swoop.

If Tushin Tir had seen Zig’s movements just now he would have nodded in satisfaction.

Phew!

When Zeke’s hammer stopped only the corpses of the demon warriors bloodied and bruised were piled up around him.

Zeke took a moment to catch his breath and moved his shadow to absorb the corpses of the demon warriors.

Zig who had regained his strength again tapped the hammer that was soaked with the blood of the demon warriors and spoke to Viper behind him.

“I don’t know how much I paid to rent them but I don’t think I got my money’s worth.”

Viper gritted his teeth and shouted at Zeke’s whining.

“What are you doing! Kill that guy quickly!”

The playful tone of speech from earlier had long since disappeared.

This time the Blood Knights and Abyss Knights who had been lined up behind rushed towards Zeke.

Phew!

The Blood Knights expanded their territory by creating a red fog around them and the Abyss Knights similarly scattered black smoke.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk―

Red fog and black smoke began to surround Zig.

I remembered the trouble I had with this red fog when I was fighting Garin the royal vampire in the Upside Down Tower before.

Zeke spoke softly to Arataso while holding the green sword.

“I’ve faced Blood Knights before but who is this Abyss Knight?”

Arataso answered Zeke’s question.

[One of the six strongest demons among the fallen constellations is the ‘Abyssal Master’. They are the dark knights who protect Abaddon his realm. The darkness they emit is a barrier that reproduces the Abyss itself. Any attack is swallowed up by the darkness of the Abyss.]

After listening to it it seemed like the dark barrier emitted by the Abyss Knight was more of a headache.

‘The darkness of the abyss.’

Zeke stared into the darkness unable to see even an inch ahead trying to feel for signs.

But the surrounding darkness obstructed my senses and I couldn’t feel anything.

Then something occurred to Zeke.

“Raven come out and pay for the meal.”

As Zeke spoke looking over his shoulder Raven suddenly appeared crossing the dimensional boundary.

Kurururururu―

Raven ate well and slept well and had grown significantly since she first hatched from the egg.

Raven turned her head this way and that looking into the darkness of the abyss then spread her wings and flew up.

Then he let out a long cry and shouted out the Phoenix Star.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeing―

The sound of the phoenix inaudible to human hearing spread out shaking the darkness of the abyss.

And after a while surprisingly the darkness of the abyss began to clear away around where Raven was.

‘her?’

Zeke who had summoned Raven with the hope that it would work was surprised when the abyss barrier was broken by the real Phoenix Castle.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk―

As the Abyssal Barrier broke the surrounding area was filled with a red fog that seemed to have been spread by the Blood Knight.

Zeke chuckled and took out Roland.

“I can handle this much.”

He lifted Roland up into the sky and immediately poured out the Holy Ray.

Pfft pfft pfft!

A powerful bolt of light struck the Blood Knights approaching Zeke including the red fog.

Kwakwakwang!

The Blood Knights who were hit by the Holy Light lost their strength and fell to the ground.

Then the remaining Blood Knights and Abyss Knights behind him approached Zeke.

As Zeke prepared to face them again Raven circled the sky stopped in her phoenix form and sat on Zeke’s helmet.

Zeke took out some jerky from his inventory and tossed it towards Raven.

Raven took the jerky and ate it as usual.

“Thank you for your hard work Raven. Go inside and rest for now.”

Raven hid in a dimensional rift while eating jerky.

Zeke attached the chain to the hammer handle as he watched the approaching knights of the Demon World.

“Let’s see how strong your bodies are.”

Hoong hooong hooong!

A bloodcurdling sound split the air as Zeke grabbed the chain and turned the hammer.

At one point he threw his hammer at the knights of the demon world.

Phew!

A hammer loaded with powerful force flew at high speed.

Kwakwakwakwa!

One of the Blood Knights at the very front was hit by a hammer and fell down with his torso pierced.

Zeke pulled the chain changing the direction of the flying hammer.

Then the hammer drew a long circle and the chain wrapped around the subordinates and Zig who was watching this cast a holy light on the chain.

Pfft pfft pfft!

The thunderbolt was activated and dozens of lightning bolts of light struck the followers wrapped in chains.

The chains surrounding him formed a sort of barrier reflecting the lightning strikes of the heavenly thunderbolts and striking his subordinates.

Kieeeek!

Because of this the followers summoned by Viper were annihilated and disappeared without even being able to fully demonstrate their power.

Viper’s expression hardened as he watched this.

Zeke said looking at the viper.

“Looking at your expression it seems like there’s a penalty for harming the borrowed servants. If I do it right I think I can bankrupt you today.”

Viper gritted his teeth at the sight of Zeke’s knowledge of the devil’s bargain to the point of being annoying.

Viper pulled a dagger out of his bosom.

It was a divine being that made one feel the power of another constellation not one of endless greed.

Aratasou felt the power and shouted at Zeke.

[I can feel the power of the ‘Judge of the Endless Struggle’ within that dagger!]

‘The Judge of the Unending Struggle’ was a powerful demon who was the ruler of the Tuma tribe and the master of the Balrogs.

Viper stabbed himself in the heart with the dagger.

Tsk tsk tsk―

As the dagger plunged into his heart surprisingly Viper’s appearance began to change.

While the clown’s mask remained the same horns grew on his head his hands and feet grew longer and wings sprouted from his back.

It looked like a combination of a clown and a balrog.

Zeke suddenly saw Viper’s changed appearance and realized that something different had happened than before.

The combined power of the fallen constellations the Judge of the Ceaseless Strife and the Endless Greed was the awakening of Viper as an incarnation.
