A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 372
by Hectopascal(헥토파스칼 )
Episode 372
“Damn it! Stop it!”
Zeros shouted casting spells at the monsters crawling up the walls.
The guards nearby stabbed the monsters with spears and shields sending them crashing down the wall.
At that moment a demon flew from the sky and threatened Zeros.
“Wizard!”
The guard shouted at Zeros.
However Zeros was unable to respond to the demon’s attack as he was busy blocking monsters coming from elsewhere.
Then a flash of light appeared in the distance and something pierced the demon’s neck.
Keeeeek―
Behind the fallen demon was Yellin wearing Hersion.
As she stretched out her hand the flying dagger turned around and came back to her.
It was an enchanted dagger that Hades had made for Yellin.
Then Luther and Omar came towards Yellin swinging their swords at the monster.
Zeros spoke to Yellin and Luther.
“There are too many enemies. If things continue this way the walls will soon be breached.”
Although Hades was helping with his magic in the air it had its limits.
If he revealed his true form he could wipe out as many monsters as he wanted but since he would be subject to karma’s sanctions the power he could use was limited.
Although Yellin the Black Sword Knights and Ishtar’s mystics were fighting off the monsters rushing in from all over the walls they were simply too numerous.
The corpses of the dead monsters were so numerous that they filled the moat and gradually piled up creating a path to climb up the walls.
But then it happened.
The situation was already hopeless and then something appeared in the air.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk―
A wizard wearing black robes appeared riding a ghost horse.
To his surprise the hooded wizard’s face was a skull and blue flowers were blooming in his empty eye sockets.
The skeleton wizard reached out and began reciting a spell towards the dead monsters.

Saaaa …
As the skeleton wizard’s spell took hold of the dead monsters the corpses soon began to rise.
Grrrrrr!
Monsters that were thought to be dead rose from their seats as undead.
The faces of Zeros and Yellin Luther turned pale at the sight.
“Oh my god. How can you raise so many corpses at once…”
It was an ability that would never have been possible for a human necromancer or an ordinary lich.
On the Narak and Siemens side two powerful upper-level demons were dispatched in order to wipe out Julius and Sieg together during this Dorta invasion.
Viper a member of the endless greedy one was very self-willed but had such great power that even other demons avoided him.
The skeleton wizard leading the monster army there was also a high-level demon with power comparable to Viper and in some ways even stronger than him.
Narak and Siemens had intended to accelerate the continental war starting with this Dorta invasion so they had invested considerable effort and resources in it with the determination to succeed.
The skeleton wizard who raised the monster’s corpse stretched out his hand and shouted to those inside the castle.
『Foolish mortals! Stop your pointless rebellion! Waging more time will only increase your suffering!』
Hades who was fighting the demons in the air also frowned at the sight of the skeleton wizard.
“Isn’t that a high-level demon? What is Karma doing! Letting that kind of guy wander around!”
Hades who saw that Yong-in could control his own power like a sword but was unable to stop the summoning of a higher-level demon became furious and gritted his teeth as he shouted.
“Damn it! I don’t know! Hey! Karma! Seriously please let this go!”
Hades reached out and created a summoning circle.
Then the guardians he had created appeared within several summoning circles floating in the air.
They were new guardians that had been improved and created together with the soul craftsman Gelion and the magical structure expert Fainan at the Agamemnon Castle.
Hades placed the summoned guardians throughout the walls.
Clank!
As soon as the guardians clad in various armors descended upon the walls they began to operate their eyes emitting light.
Phew!
The guardians pulled out the greatswords they were carrying on their backs and swung them at the undead monsters climbing up the walls.
Kkwadduk!
The bodies of the monsters hit by the greatsword exploded and fell down the castle wall.
The walls seemed to come alive for a moment thanks to the Guardians’ efforts but the monster invasion showed no signs of abating.
And then a little later a more grim situation unfolded.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Giant monsters resembling rhinoceroses approached and began to strike the gate with their horns.
Kookung!
The entire wall shook with the shock of their charge.
Zeros who was looking at this looked at Yellin and said.
“If things continue like this this place will be breached soon. While I buy time Yellin and Hades escape the city and return to the central continent. It will be possible to travel through the portal now.”
At those words Yellin shook her head with a firm expression.
“Ishtar’s warriors never flee from battle.”

Then Luther turned his head and pointed to the sky.
“That thing!”
Luther who was not yet familiar with the common language pointed his finger and shouted urgently.
The skeleton wizard floating in the air cast his spell again.
Kugugugugugugu―
A green fog began to spread out around his body.
Zeros saw it and screamed.
“Oh! Wind! Wind!”
He quickly used wind magic to try to drive the fog out of the castle.
But the green fog paid no attention to Zeros’ magic and slowly but surely dug into the castle.
One of the guards was caught in the fog that had come so close.
“Huh huh?”
Blisters quickly appeared on the skin of the guard who touched the ominous-looking thing.
“Kkaaaak!”
The guard screamed as blisters spread all over his body in an instant.
The blisters burst and pus poured out and other guards who came into contact with them also showed the same symptoms.
“Kwaaaaak!”
Among the guards more and more people began to suffer from blisters.
Zeros shouted at the knights.
“Never touch that fog! It’s a deadly magical poison!”
Zeros shouted at Hades.
“Lord Hades! We must burn that fog with fire!”
Hades who was watching this from the air also clearly realized how terrible the green poison created by the demons was.
He hesitated for a moment then snapped his fingers.
Exactly!
At that moment flames rose and enveloped the poisonous dance.
If it were a common poison it would be destroyed by fire.
But this poisonous fog was different.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk―
Rather as soon as the fire reached it its size began to grow even larger.
Hades who had started the fire opened his eyes wide in surprise.
“Huh? How did this happen….”
At that moment Hades felt a great shock in his heart and stepped back clutching his chest.
“Ugh! Shit… Is Karma really going to do this!”
Hades’ actions were restricted.
The flames of poison spread out in a clump and enveloped the entire castle wall.
Although Zeros scattered some of them with wind magic it wasn’t enough.
There monsters continued to climb up the walls.
Zeros felt despair.
‘Is this the end?’
In Nirvana Zeros was a genius who rarely felt despair.
But from the moment I followed Zeke into battle it was a series of despairs.
When I was in the lab I never imagined that my magic would be this helpless.
‘Damn it! What the hell is a genius wizard! What the hell is a warlock and a sorcerer!’
But I couldn’t give up here.
Zeros clenched his teeth and took a deep breath pushing away his helplessness.
“Please cover me!”
At his shout Yellin and Omar came to cover him from both sides and Luther jumped out and cut down the approaching monsters first to prevent them from approaching.
Zeros closed his eyes and recited the spell.
Then a huge wind rose from his body.
Kugugugugugu―
A huge gust of wind rose from Zeros’ body squeezing out all the magical power he had.
Soon the gust of wind took the shape of a huge giant.
Kwakwakwakwa―
Zeros controlled the Gust Titan and swirled the fog around in one motion sending it far outside the walls.
At the same time he unleashed a gust of wind towards the skeleton wizard floating in the air.
Hooooooooooo!
A huge gust of wind swept over the skeleton wizard but he remained motionless on his ghost horse.
The skeleton wizard reached out again.
“Foolish human. Cry out in the face of true fear.”
Kkaaaaaaah!
A terrible haunting sound emanated from the skeleton wizard’s body.
Countless phantoms were summoned through the gusts of wind and flew over the walls.
Kkaaaaaaah!
The guards and knights exposed to the ghost’s shrieking screams trembled with fear their faces turned pale.
“No… we’ll all die.”
“God has forsaken us! Aaaah!”
The ghost’s haunting nature arouses human fear and brings about despair.
Those who panicked because of them felt completely out of control.
Even guards began to appear throwing down their weapons and jumping down the wall.
The knights who attacked the monsters under the castle walls were also quickly destroyed.
Zeros who had summoned the gust of wind was also gradually losing strength.
‘Has God really abandoned us…?’
Kookung! Boom! Boom!
It was at that very moment that giant monsters were about to break through the walls.
Kkwaddudduk!
The giant monster in front of the castle wall froze in an instant.
A giant monster that was frozen solid blocked the gate creating a large wall that other monsters could not pass through.
At the same time a huge light fell from the sky.
Pfft pfft pfft!
Hundreds of beams of light swept away all the monsters and even ghosts on the walls.
As the ghost’s haunting noises disappeared the knights came to their senses first.
Zeros and Yellin Luther also raised their heads and looked up at the sky.
Hades pointed and shouted.
“You’re here! You’re finally here! You rascal!”
A knight of light riding a horned horse that gallops through the sky equipped with Hersion and carrying a wind-blown cloak and shining sword.
Zeke showed up.
Bucephalus ran towards the skeleton wizard riding on his ghost horse.
Phew!
Meanwhile Zeke took out a hammer with a chain attached turned it around and hurled it at the skeleton wizard.
The hammer flew towards the skeleton wizard at high speed.
The skeleton wizard saw this and stretched out his hand and shouted.
“You insolent human! I will give you the most painful death!”
With a shout the skeleton wizard unleashed his magic.
A spectre of black energy burst out of his hand and rushed towards the hammer.
The spectre imbued with poison was lethal to humans.
However before the Poison Phantom could even reach Zeke it was hit by a flying hammer and was destroyed.
“hmm?!”
It was only then that the skeleton wizard realized that the hammer that had instantly destroyed the poisonous wraith was no ordinary artifact.
The skeleton wizard who had been standing tall quickly dodged the hammer flying towards him while riding his ghost horse.
Hooooooooooo!
But it was no use.
Zeke controlled the chain and pursued the fleeing wizard to the end.
Wheeeeeek!
The skeleton wizard couldn’t help but be taken aback for a moment as the hammer chased him as if it had eyes.
But he quickly came to his senses and changed his target targeting Zeke who was controlling the hammer.
Saaaa …
A vicious poisonous fog flowed out from his body and a thick green fog covered Zeke.
Even if you wear Hersion it is possible for minute amounts of poison to seep into it.
The skeleton wizard thought that Zeke would have died instantly if he had encountered the poison fog.
But that was a big mistake.
Choaaaak!
A blade of brilliant light flew towards the skeleton wizard through the smoky poisonous fog.
Crunch-
“Kiaaaaak!”
A brilliant blade of light condensed with the power of purification cut through the body of the skeleton wizard.
『Ugh!』
When the area hit by the Blade of Light did not heal the skeleton wizard stepped back for a moment.
Then a bright golden aura began to flow through the poisonous fog.
Woohoo!
Before long the poisonous fog cleared and a powerful wave of golden aura spread out in all directions.
The great purification skill that Zeke used spread towards the castle walls and the knights fighting the monsters.
Woof woof woof!
A huge wave of gold dyed the entire battlefield.
Saaaa …
The knights and guards who were enveloped in the golden waves that Zeke emitted felt the blisters caused by the poisonous fog instantly recover.
At the same time those who had been frightened by the ghost were able to regain their senses.
“What a miracle!”
The knights and guards rose from their seats and looked up at Zeke in the sky shouting.
“The Knight of Salvation! He saved us!”
The shout spread throughout the battlefield and completely changed the flow of the battle.
That was when.
Those who saw something appear in the sky cried out in surprise.
“That’s it!”
A giant phoenix appeared in the battlefield sky piercing through the clouds.
