A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 405



Episode 405

‘Doctor West crazy Harvey is the priest of the Abyss?’

Harvey West who studied the forbidden magic of collecting corpses and transmuting human bodies.

He did not end up as a simple madman but became a priest of the Abyss and dabbled in even more terrible taboos.

After a moment of thought Zeke looked at the chief and said.

“You want me to catch Harvey West the priest of the Abyss?”

The leader nodded.

“If we fail to stop him the large-scale invasions currently occurring in the phenomenal world will continue to occur in the future.”

As he snapped his fingers several images showing different scenes appeared in the air.

Zeke was shocked when he saw the footage.

‘Monster legions?’

In addition to the places he had blocked gates were appearing all over the continent and large groups of monsters were appearing.

And the footage showed the High Table and Highlanders holding back this army of monsters.

“We are somehow preventing them from invading areas where people live but we are gradually reaching our limits.”

Although each Highlander agent was elite their numbers were absolutely small.

Since each high table had its own area to be in charge of it was difficult to move around carelessly.

Zick’s face hardened as he watched the videos.

‘The Highlanders were blocking the monster army’s attack without me knowing.’

If those legions had simultaneously rushed in and struck Zeke from behind or if the Highlanders had failed to defend things would have been very different from what they were now.

Zeke said looking at the chief.

“Very well. I will strike the Priest of the Abyss. But in the meantime will it be possible for the Highlanders to block the invasion of the monster army as they are doing now?”

The leader slowly opened his mouth.

“It is our duty to maintain the balance of the world so we will do our best. However as their forces continue to increase it is becoming increasingly difficult for us to rely on our own strength. However since you have said that you will strike the Priest of the Abyss we must do something about it.”

“Then how about we form a united front? For now stopping the monsters is more important than attacking the Abyss Priest. If the Highlanders contact us we will send troops to fight the monsters together.”

From the beginning as a knight of salvation this was something that Zeke had also been doing.

As his fame grows the influence Zeke can exert within the Draker family increases.

Ultimately since Zeke had the goal of taking control of the Draker family he planned to deploy the Black Sword Knights more actively to defeat monsters and gain practical experience.

The chief nodded in agreement with Zeke’s words.

“I would be grateful if you could help me. I will use Adnan and Bodmir who have been in sync with you as your contacts. Nabu the High Table will also continue to help you within the limits of what Karma allows. And…..”

He was silent for a moment then spoke again.

“There’s a place you must go to beat Harvey West.”

“Where are you talking about?”

“The Forest of the Forgotten. There meet Nigel the hermit of the forest.”

For a moment Zigg was silent.

‘The Forest of the Forgotten.’

It was a place I had to visit at least once but I couldn’t quite make up my mind to go.

Nigel his teacher in his previous life had allowed Zeke who was unable to open his lower abdomen to control mana through his middle abdomen and had taught him his Honshin technique. So he was his benefactor but he was also the most feared being.

Zeke asked the chief.

“Why should I meet the hermit of the forest?”

The chief smiled at those words and said:

“Well… it’s hard to say exactly but I have a feeling that it has to be that way.”

The leader gave vague reasons as if he were a prophet.

‘I have to go to the Forest of the Forgotten anyway. Is this an unavoidable fate?’

Zik quickly made up his mind and nodded.

“All right.”

The chief stood up after hearing Zeke’s answer.

“That’s great. To save you some valuable time let me help you out a bit.”

“yes?”

Wooooow!

A bright light shone from the leader’s body and immediately extended out wrapping itself around Zig’s body.

A message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[The movement portal is forced to operate.]

[Coordinates are set.]

The mobile portal system has been forced into operation.

‘Oh how?’

Wooooowoong―

The moment the portal began to emit light and transport Zeke the Highlander leader spoke to Zeke.

“May your journey be illuminated.”

Zeke’s body was sucked into the portal along with a huge light.

* * *

Wooooow!

A ship appeared in the air accompanied by a huge light.

Zeke opened his eyes on the deck of a ship that was plummeting from the air to the ground.

‘her?’

A startled Zeke was able to deploy a field of wind power to catch the falling ship and land it safely.

Kookung!

The ship landed in the middle of the forest accompanied by a huge cloud of dust.

Zeke looked at the scenery that had changed in an instant and realized that he had moved through the portal with the ship.

He woke up Richmond and Vane who were lying on the deck.

“Richmond Vane. Come to your senses.”

As Zeke woke them up Richmond and Bane slowly came to their senses.

“Uh… Master. What happened?”

Richmond who had barely managed to get up clutching his head was startled when he saw his surroundings.

“Oh my goodness! Weren’t we just in the sea? Why is there a forest all of a sudden…!”

Zeke looked at Richmond and asked.

“Don’t you remember entering the underwater city earlier?”

“Huh? What is that? How can there be a city under the sea?”

“…It’s nothing.”

Zig who didn’t want to bother explaining just passed it over.

‘Did Richmond and Bain lose their minds at that point? It’s also unclear whether the space where the chief was was actually real.’

I thought that it might be a dream space like when I met the hermit in the story.

Anyway since the current situation was more important Zeke jumped off the boat and looked around the forest.

‘Have we moved into the forest of the forgotten?’

The reason the Forest of the Forgotten was forbidden was because of the endless flood damage.

Even Nigel the forest manager couldn’t see the end of the flood damage.

Zig looked around the vast forest and was lost in thought.

‘I think I need to find where the teacher is first.’

If I took the wrong path and got lost in the flood I might have to waste some time here.

Bane and Richmond disembarked and stood next to Zeke.

“Master where is this place?”

“I feel a scary aura everywhere.”

Bane the elemental lich seemed to sense the aura of the cursed waters.

“This is the forest of the forgotten.”

Richmond and Vane were startled by Zeke’s words.

“If it’s the Forest of the Forgotten isn’t that forbidden?”

“That cursed forest where once you enter you can never come out… Why have you come to this forbidden area again after the stormy seas my master?”

Even Bane who was usually very polite seemed surprised and spoke to Zeke in a resentful tone.

Zeke shook his head at the noisy Richies.

thud!

And then a dull sound was heard from across the forest.

Richmond and Bain stepped back startled.

“My lord! It must be a monster!”

Zeke clicked his tongue as he watched the Richies hide behind his back.

“You need to remind yourself of your role as a summoner…”

Kukuku Palace!

The dull sound of a tree collapsing grew louder.

‘What is this feeling?’

Zeke took out Bahamut at the sound of something familiar and aimed his sword at the direction of the sound.

That was when.

Kwaaaaaaaah!

As the trees fell a giant demon appeared between them.

The bear-like creature was several times larger than a bear and had sharp horns growing out of its back.

Zeke realized that he had returned to the Forest of the Forgotten at the sight of the familiar demon.

‘A masoo bear. I often see it in the forest. It’s nice to see you again after such a long time.’

A demon who could not possibly know such feelings rushed towards Zeke.

He immediately raised his Auror Blade and swung it at the demon.

Kwakwakwang!

The Aura Blade struck the demon’s body.

Wow! Wow!

The demon who was hit by the Aura Blade that Zeke had thrown screamed in pain.

Zeke shook his head when he saw this.

‘Its durability can even withstand an Aura Blade. It feels like coming home.’

Zeke ran forward and swung his golden sword with all his might towards the demon.

Kkwadduk!

The sword dug into the demon’s body as if crushing it with powerful physical force.

Wow! Wow!

The Masugom who had been hit hard howled in pain but opened its mouth wide and bent down as if to swallow Zig in one bite.

At that moment Zeke lifted his sword and breathed all his strength into it.

Tsk tsk tsk―

The energy of Tong (通) was contained in Zig’s sword.

Wow! Wow!

Bahamut let out a roar and pierced the neck of the demon bear that was trying to swallow Zeke.

Kkwadduk!

The bear whose throat had been ripped open with a loud noise finally fell to the ground with its tongue sticking out.

thud!

Only after Zeke defeated the bear did Richmond and Bane approach.

Richmond who was interested in monsters looked around the bear with a slightly more excited look than before.

“This is my first time seeing a monster like this master.”

“This is more like a demon than a monster. There are all sorts of things in the Forest of the Forgotten so don’t let your guard down.”

Zig slowly approached to absorb the dead bear while also regaining his strength.

But then it happened.

Phew—

The tense tension that seemed to pull at the air sent shivers down my spine for a moment.

It feels like a sharp sword is placed right under your chin.

If I moved it felt like the sword would come straight into my neck.

A sharp murderous intent that even the black knight Zeke cannot move rashly.

He felt this life reaching out from beyond the forest.

Zeke swallowed dryly.

‘This feeling….’

It was that feeling that I couldn’t forget even in my dreams.

Nigel who was my teacher in my previous life.

She was beyond the forest.

‘I thought that if I put in all my effort the Master would come to me first but I didn’t expect a response this quickly.’

Before I could even feel his presence the sword had reached my chin.

When Zeke didn’t move from the bear’s face Richmond and Bane noticed something odd.

“Master?”

That was when.

Chomp!

A sharp sword strike flew towards Richmond and Vane.

In that moment Zeke blasted the new form with his whirlwind and struck back with Bahamut’s sword.

Pachin!

It was a single blow but it was so heavy and powerful that it made my wrists tingle.

Richmond and Vane fell back in shock preparing for battle.

Then Zeke shouted urgently.

“Don’t move hastily!”

I tried to dispel Richmond and Bane’s summons but before I could do so another sword strike came flying at me.

Shhhh!

Zeke swung his sword again and blocked the strike.

Quaching!

Heavier sword strikes than before continued to pour down towards Zig.

He clenched his teeth and swung his sword trying to locate Nigel.

But her presence was not easily detected.

But then it happened.

Woohoo!

I could feel the energy of the spirit coming from behind.

Zeke looked surprised and only then shouted at Richmond and Bane.

“Summoned!”

Nigel’s sword which contained the spirit of the spirit was barely able to release the summons just before it cut down Richmond and Vane.

Cheeeeeeek―

The marks of the sword of the Holy Spirit were left where Richmond and Bain had been.

Nigel’s sword which contained the true power of the spirit could even destroy the souls of the summoned beasts Richmond and Bane.

Nigel who had been swinging his sword suddenly disappeared again.

‘Where?’

Zeke raised his sword and created the Astral Sword expanding the realm.

He stretched his will to try to catch Nigel’s presence.

But there was no trace of Nigel anywhere.

‘Even the Astral Sword’s realm can’t detect any trace of it.’

That was when.

At that moment Nigel appeared behind Zeke.

Her sword was imbued with the power of a powerful spirit.

Zeke used his scabbard’s spirit transformation skill to avoid Nigel’s sudden attack.

Tsk tsk tsk―

Entering the dimensional boundary Zeke did the opposite this time going behind Nigel and taking advantage of the opening.

Zeke swung his sword imbued with the power of the Astral Sword as he emerged from the dimensional rift through his scabbard.

Hooooooooooo!

Nigel turned his body flexibly and countered Zeke’s sword that was coming down on him with his sword filled with all his might.

Kkwadduk!

The space around them was distorted as the Honshinki and Astral Sword collided.

Both of them were thrown back unable to withstand the powerful wave of force.

Kwakwakwakwa―

Zig eased the impact by pinning his body to the floor with his golden power.

He looked up and saw Nigel across from him.

Her appearance wearing a hooded cloak was identical to that of her previous life.

Zeke tried to suppress his fear and gripped his sword.

Then Nigel put down his sword and slowly removed his hood.

A distinctive rounded shape of blue-gray hair.

Cold amber-colored eyes that show no trace of emotion.

He had a young-looking face and small body that didn’t match his cruel personality at all.

At first glance she looked like a noble young lady who had never held a sword before.

But Zeke knew the true nature hidden behind his master’s appearance.

Zig facing his master from his previous life calmly took a deep breath.

Nigel said pointing his sword at Zeke.

“What are you?”

She added with a frown her sharp fangs bared between her lips.

“What the heck how can a human put all his effort into it?”
