A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 373



Episode 373

Zeke watched the reactions of the knights and soldiers who were shouting at the sight of the giant phoenix floating in the sky.

‘Okay it seems like the effect of boosting morale has been really effective.’

The giant phoenix was actually none other than a tyrant.

Zeke used his powers of illusion to give the tyrant the appearance of the phoenix Raven.

Woof woof woof―

The sound of Raven’s Phoenix Star riding on the Tyrant’s head echoed throughout the battlefield.

The mysterious Phoenix Star boosted the morale of the allies and slowed the advance of the monsters.

At the same time flames rose up where the monsters were.

Whoosh whoosh!

To others it seemed as if flames were spontaneously rising where the phoenix was flying but in reality they were flames spewed out by the tyrant.

As flames rose from the rear the advancing monsters panicked and fled collapsing in their ranks.

The Knights of the Republic of Dorta did not miss that opportunity.

“Let’s wipe out the monsters!”

The knights who had been pushed back by a large number of monsters reorganized their formation and charged forward.

The atmosphere of the battlefield changed in an instant.

The skeleton wizard who was watching this took out a staff with a skull attached to it from his bosom unlike before.

『Behold the power of the great ‘Abyss Ruler’! And tremble in fear!』

Wooooow!

A red light flashed from the eyes of the skull on the staff and poured down towards the undead monsters.

Krrrrrr!

Undead monsters that were simply corpses rising and moving began to change powerfully by receiving the power of the Abyss’ Ruler.

Kkwadduk!

As they transformed undead monsters wearing bone armor charged up the walls with glowing red eyes.

Kwaaaaah!

The power of the monsters that received the power of the constellations was on a different level than before.

Seeing this Zeke spoke to the system.

‘System! Can I set up defense mode here now?’

A message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[The current defense mode area scope is the fortress. Defense mode settings are only possible in that area.]

The casino city was a metropolis comparable to Atlas.

It seemed impossible to handle the whole thing in defense mode.

Zig swallowing his regret gave an order to the system.

‘Execute the area only to the given range. Deploy Guardians and Golem Knights.’

[Establish a defense mode in a randomly designated area according to the administrator’s command.]

[Place Guardian Horus Idas Linkeus in the appropriate area.]

[You can deploy a Golem Knight that has been restored. Would you like to designate one?]

‘The Golem Knights have recovered too? That’s great. Please auto-designate them too.’

[Automatic designation completed. Defense mode will be activated in the designated area.]

An area designated as defense mode appeared before Zeke’s eyes and then guardians were automatically summoned to the designated location.

Wooooow!

The largest Horus was placed above the gate flanked by Idas and Lynceus.

Golem Knights were stationed in key areas where monsters were crawling holding shields to block their movements and assisting the knights and soldiers.

Hades who was watching this also called his guardians to help the Golem Knights.

After a while Horus who had fully established himself on the wall opened his mouth wide and emitted a huge beam of light towards the monsters.

Kwakwakwakwa!

The light emitted by Horus swept away the monsters in an instant.

When the knights saw this they raised their swords and shouted.

“The Knight of Salvation is with us!”

“In the name of the great Zeke Draker I will punish my enemies!”

The knights who shouted felt as if they were holy knights fighting a holy war alongside legendary heroes.

And that was when it happened.

Doo doo doo doo doo!

Additional troops from the Republic of Dorta are arriving on the battlefield one after another.

Although the number of monsters was still large the flow of the battlefield began to change again as troops poured in from all directions.

Ziggy shouted at his troops his voice cracking.

“The evil enemies are terrified by our swords and spears! The divine light will protect us! We will defeat them with valor!”

As soon as he finished speaking Zig released the light of the Holy Light into the sky.

Those guarding the castle were energized by the sight of the light from the holy light created by Zeke and they shouted even louder.

The skeleton wizard who was watching this felt that the situation was gradually becoming unfavorable.

The pride of the upper-level demon race would not allow them to occupy even one human city with this number of troops.

“Those bug-like humans are annoying.”

He raised his skull staff skyward again.

Then black smoke began to rise from the skeleton’s eyes.

The black smoke that flowed out gathered together and created a huge hole in the sky.

Zeke saw the black hole created by the skeleton wizard took out his green sword and called out to Arataso.

‘Arataso what is that guy doing now?’

Arataso who was exhausted from being summoned after a long time fell asleep inside the sword and woke up from his light sleep at Zeke’s call.

‘Uhm what is it again… Huh?’

Only then did Arataso come to his senses startled by the ominous energy he felt around him.

‘What is that? Isn’t that Neville Ross?’

Nevilleros was one of the most trusted of the Abyss Masters serving as an inspector among Abaddon’s superior demons.

Aratasso screamed in horror at the sight of the black hole Neviloth had created.

‘Crazy! That’s the entrance to the abyss!’

As soon as Aratasso spoke something began to crawl out of the black hole.

Krrrrrr!

The demons of the abyss with their hideous tentacles and grotesque wings appeared.

The demons of the Abyss who lived off the magic of the deep abyss had an extremely horrifying appearance like creatures from the deep sea.

But despite their horrifying appearance these demons were actually the lowest of the low being prey to other predators within the abyss.

But even so it possessed power that was incomparable to that of the monsters of the phenomenal world.

Nevilleos swung his skeletal staff and gave orders to the demons of the Abyss.

『Destroy everything created by insect-like humans! Show the power of the great ‘Master of the Abyss’!』

Kaaaaaaah!

The demons of the abyss that burst out from the entrance flapped their wings and flew into the air writhing with their hideous tentacles and oozing black venom.

The demons waved their tentacles wildly spraying acidic venom in all directions which fell on the battlefield like rain.

Cheeeeeeek―

The poison sprayed by the devil of the bottomless pit also fell on the monsters rushing towards the castle gate.

Grrrrrr!

The vicious venom melted everything regardless of whether it was enemy or ally.

Zeke looked at this and then grabbed the hammer attached to the chain and shook it.

“You guys are annoying. It’s time to just give up now…”

The differences between humans and demons are revealed in this part.

In battles of the phenomenal world it was common to surrender once the flow of the battle changed to a certain degree.

But the battle of the Demon Tribe was nothing like that.

The fierce fighting did not stop until one side was completely destroyed.

Zig muttered annoyedly and then threw a hammer imbued with the power of the Holy Light towards the demons of the Abyss.

Hooooooooooo!

A hammer loaded with heavy power flew towards the demons of the bottomless pit at high speed.

The demon stretched out its tentacles to try to block Zeke’s hammer.

However the tentacle that touched the hammer turned to ash and disappeared and the demon of the bottomless pit was left in confusion and had no choice but to retreat.

I instinctively felt the immense power contained in the hammer.

But the hammer followed the retreating demon as if it had eyes.

Kkwaddudduk!

The hammer passed through the demons’ bodies in one go.

Zeke didn’t stop there he charged the chain with lightning force.

Pfft pfft pfft!

The remains of the demons fell to the ground as the lightning containing the power of light burned the demons’ bodies.

It wasn’t as hard to deal with as I thought but the problem was that it wasn’t the end.

Kkuddddddd!

Through the entrance that Neville had opened other demons from the Abyss were fighting each other to get out pulling out their bodies.

As Zeke thought for a moment about what to do with them the demons he had been fighting suddenly screamed and appeared to be dragged backwards.

After a while a monster resembling a giant crocodile stuck out its long snout and shoved itself into the hole in the bottomless pit.

Grrrrrrrr!

As the crocodile-like demon let out a roar the vibrations spread throughout the battlefield.

Zeke clenched his teeth at the sight of the giant abyssal monster.

‘If something like that pops out the castle will fall in no time.’

I had to close that door as soon as possible.

The wider the gate of the abyss opened the more powerful the demons could be able to emerge.

That was when.

Hades flew next to Zeke and spoke to Zeke with a look of disgust on his face.

“I came to see the Eastern Continent and what the hell is this?”

“I’m sorry but dealing with that is the first priority.”

“I know too. Hmm that hole seems to have been summoned by the devil’s power… If that’s the case I think I can do something about it.”

Zeke was surprised by Hades’ words.

“How do you say that?”

“If we apply the formula we studied while we were trapped in Blanca we should be able to close the hole by reversing the summoning formula.”

Zeke nodded to Hades’ words and said.

“Okay. So what should I do?”

“Hold the damn bone in check so it doesn’t widen the door any further while I analyze it and apply the formulas.”

At Hades’ words Zeke grabbed the hammer and Roland and ran towards Nevilleros shouting.

“Understood. Please! Lord Hades!”

Hades grumbled and raised his control panel into the air beginning to analyze the hole in the abyss through which the demons were trying to escape.

Zeke quickly ran towards Neville Ross to buy time.

Phew!

The hammer that Zeke threw with all his might flew away engulfed in lightning of light.

Kwakwakwakwang!

A powerful explosion of light occurred but Neville quickly moved away and appeared leisurely somewhere else.

Then he pointed his cane at Zeke.

“You cheeky bastard.”

He muttered in a disgruntled voice and cursed Zeke.

The aura of the curse enveloped Zeke’s body but it had no effect at all.

This was because the curse was nullified when the Haeju skill was activated.

When his own curse failed Neville’s blue naturalization grew even bigger.

“You’re not an ordinary human being.”

Zeke said pointing his sword at Nevilleros.

“If you’re going to be rich then just quietly return to being a corpse like a rich person. Don’t cause trouble by being distracted.”

Neville’s naturalization shook violently at Zeke’s provocation.

Arataso who had been watching the situation since waking up spoke to Zeke.

‘How did you know Neville didn’t like being called a lich? You’re quite the provocateur.’

‘Anyone who sees that appearance would think he’s rich.’

Zeke replied with a smirk.

However Nevilleros was a true demon although he only appeared as a skeleton.

Neville a noble noble of the demon world who had even received a title from Abaddon felt that his honor had been tarnished by hearing Zeke’s provocation and was unable to control his anger.

“I will give you the most horrible death!”

He held the skull staff and aimed it at Zeke.

Then the skeleton opened its mouth wide and blue smoke poured out from inside.

Zeke sensed an ominous aura from the blue smoke so he released Bucephalus and quickly raised a blade of brilliant light.

Then blue smoke gathered and a giant blue skull appeared in the air.

‘What is that Arataso?’

Then Aratasso said in a voice that said it was hard to believe.

‘That’s… the <Blue Skull No. 11> a weapon that is banned from use even in the Demon Realm. Oh my god I can’t believe I got to see that in person.’

Zeke was terrified by Aratasso’s words.

‘A weapon that is forbidden even in the Demon World? What is that?’

As soon as he asked the blue skull’s mouth opened wide and it shouted at Zeke.

Kkaaaaaaaaaah!

A powerful sound wave too strong for human ears to hear shook Zeke’s insides.

‘Ugh.’

If Zeke didn’t have a healing factor that allows him to instantly recover he would have collapsed from bleeding during the Chilgong.

Aratasso said to Zeke.

‘We agreed not to use it because if we started using it the surrounding areas would be severely damaged. It’s really horrible to experience it firsthand.’

I recovered quickly thanks to the healing factor but I still felt dizzy.

Zeke calmly took one step at a time toward the blue skull that continued to emit sound waves toward him.

Neville Ross could not help but be surprised at seeing such a Zeke.

“Humans can withstand this attack? I can’t believe it!”

He held a skull staff and poured magic on Zeke.

A black spear popped out and flew towards Zeke.

Zeke swung Roland around knocking away all the black spears and then threw Roland who he was holding with great force.

“Cha-ha-ha!”

Roland holding a blade of brilliant light flew like a meteor pierced the blue skull and pierced the center of Neville’s chest behind it.
