A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 407



Episode 407

“Hey shit seriously. This little bastard!”

puck!

The club Nigel was holding dug into Zeke’s stomach.

“Cough!”

He immediately grabbed his stomach and fell to the floor.

She ground her teeth as she looked at Zeke.

“This human bastard still can’t shake off his old habits from when he was an assassin… Who told you to put your will into the sword not your will to live?”

Zeke crawled grabbed his sword and glared at Nigel with a grin.

“Will… this is my will.”

Then Nigel frowned and put his hand on his forehead.

“Hey you piece of trash all you do is talk.”

She struck his palm with the club she was holding and approached Zig who had fallen to the floor.

“It seems like it will take a lot of effort to pull out the murderous intent that has dug deep into your body.”

Zeke flinched as he saw Nigel approaching him with a menacing aura.

As the McCain Cartel’s top hitman he had nothing to fear. No I thought he had nothing to fear.

But now it exists.

“…Master. Upon thinking about it again I think it wasn’t my intention. Can we try again?”

“It’s too late kid!”

Nigel’s beating has begun.

The club imbued with the spirit of the spirit struck Zeke’s entire body evenly.

“Ugh! Master! Save me…!”

“Shut up! You damn bastard! Today I’m going to crush the murderous intent embedded in your body!”

Zeke was able to erase the murderous spirit of his days as a hitman by getting beaten to death by Nigel.

Moreover after being hit again and again by the club that was soaked with so much spirit my body eventually adapted and surprisingly I was able to open up my mid-fight and control my mana.

Her belief that if you try hard enough something will work out was proven.

And when he stood before her again transcending time and space he found himself sweating profusely without realizing it.

Nigel looked at Zeke with a strange look.

“What? Why are you looking at me like that?”

“No. I was just thinking about the old days…”

“If I think about it I’ll really die. Is the end of the world really approaching when the day comes that I teach humans the art of divination?”

She shook her head once and looked at Zeke.

“Try casting the solo spell again.”

Zeke took a deep breath and regained his will to teach.

Kookookookook!

Although a powerful energy was present in his body it felt different from Nigel’s spirit energy.

Nigel tilted his head as he looked at such a jig.

“Hmm what is it? This isn’t the feeling. Why is it like this?”

She could tell that Zeke’s way of casting solo spells was not much different from her own.

But strangely Zeke’s soul song felt empty.

Nigel nodded and said.

“In times like this there is only one answer.”

She walked sideways and cut a thick wooden stick.

Then with all his will and determination he quickly cut the tree branches with his sword.

Before she knew it she had created a sleek club that fit her hand perfectly.

For a moment Zigg saw the club and broke out in a cold sweat.

‘That thing…’

It looked almost identical to the club that had beaten Zeke so badly in his previous life.

Nigel turned to Zeke holding the finished club and said.

“That’s right. If we try it will happen someday.”

A club full of the will to teach flew towards Zig.

* * *

For a whole week Zeke had to relearn the basics of martial arts while being beaten by Nigel.

“Again! You little bastard!”

The clubs flew without fail accompanied by harsh curses.

Nigel’s ecstasy caused terrible pain even to the immortal Zeke.

Phew!

“Ugh!”

Zeke stood up straight away enduring the pain that seeped into his bones.

Nigel was feeling more comfortable with Zeke’s beatings after learning that his wounds would automatically heal quickly thanks to his healing factor.

And at some point Nigel started to focus on the defeat itself and wondered where and how to defeat it to make it hurt more.

And the club that was imbued with her will certainly felt even more painful.

What was unfair was that as I kept getting hit my spirits really started to return to normal.

But this was not because of Nigel’s beating but because Zeke was struggling and struggling again to avoid her merciless violence.

But the gap of just the size of the last nail was never narrowed.

‘Why is the Master’s spirit and mine different?’

After much thought Zeke was finally able to guess the reason.

When Zeke first met Caesar he had previously used his full powers and was told that it was a ‘pseudo-technique imitating psychic magic’.

Since then Zeke had sealed his soul energy and used it again after he acquired the eloquence skill.

“I think the difference is due to the dragon skill I use Spirituality.”

Nigel frowned after hearing Zeke’s words.

“What is eloquence?”

“I am human so I cannot draw out the true power of the Honshingi. So I used the Dragon Clan skill Eonryul to draw out the power of words and add it to my will to unleash the Honshingi.”

Nigel nodded as if he finally understood what Zeke had said.

“Hmm so that’s why it felt strange.”

Nigel thought for a moment and then looked at Zeke.

“Take a look at that magic spell or whatever it is.”

At her words Zeke displayed pure magic not a conspiracy.

“Burn.”

As Zeke spoke the branches that had fallen to the ground burst into flames.

Nigel looked at Zeke in disbelief after seeing that.

“What is this? Isn’t this verb magic?”

“I heard that what is needed to perform the magic of eloquence is eloquence.”

Nigel nodded.

“I see what the problem is. The art of eloquence is to express your will through words and make it come true. However in the spirit world the words don’t really have much meaning. What’s more important is to concretize the images contained within them.”

“You say the image needs to be concretized?”

“That’s the basics of a full-time job. Are you saying you didn’t know that?”

Nigel assumed that Zeke had already taught him the first part since he was so good at using his full powers. That was why he had not taught him the most basic parts.

She took up her sword and showed her will to teach.

“How does my energy look right now?”

I felt a strong will of steel as I had seen before.

“I feel a steel-like energy.”

“Okay. So what now?”

In an instant Nigel’s mood changed.

‘uh?’

Zeke felt the aura of a huge rock that had been silently sitting on Nigel’s sword for a long time.

“Is it a rock?”

Nigel nodded and relaxed.

“Do you know the difference? The aura of solid steel and the aura of rock are both manifestations of the will of the river. However depending on how you visualize it the power of your spirit that you can unleash will vary.”

Zeke understood Nigel immediately.

“The manifestation of a concrete image… Double Spelling is about imagining it more deeply and expressing it with will.”

Watching Zeke quickly absorb the essence of the Honshinki Nigel was able to understand a little bit about why he had accepted humans as disciples in his previous life.

Nigel shouted swinging his club wildly around for no reason.

“Okay if you know do it quickly! If you don’t you’ll get beaten up again!”

Zeke held Bahamut and drew his energy.

Unlike usual he moved his power by using the power of the soul rather than the power of the magic spell.

Tsk tsk tsk―

The power of the spirit wavered through Zeke’s body.

It was rough compared to when he had summoned power through magic but it was still controllable through Zig’s will itself.

Zik breathed concrete images into the power he had created.

‘A wall that no one can break through.’

He envisioned a solid wall and gave the lecture his will.

Kookookookook―

Nigel who was looking at Zeke was startled for a moment when he felt as if a huge wall had spread out where Zeke was standing.

‘I never thought a human could truly show his all.’

In fact until just now she didn’t believe that Zeke would be able to fully unleash his true power.

Because I thought it was just an imperfect imitation of the spirit energy with the magic of the dragon’s heart embedded in the middle of the battle.

But now seeing Zeke’s aura I couldn’t help but admit it.

“Phew.”

Zig who had withdrawn his will to teach could feel that although his current method consumed much more mental energy than the full-body technique he had used with eloquence he was properly motivated.

‘This is a true spirit machine.’

In addition there were side effects to using the Honshinki itself in the past but since it had become incomparably stronger than in his previous life there were no side effects like headaches at all.

Zeke walked towards Nigel who was staring blankly at him.

“What do you think Master? Did I unfold it correctly?”

Nigel who came to his senses at Zeke’s words shouted in panic.

“Don’t be complacent because you’ve only accomplished one basic thing!”

Zeke was momentarily surprised by Nigel’s words.

‘I was praised for the first time by my teacher.’

In my previous life I never did anything properly so I just got yelled at and beaten but this time I was able to show something properly.

Zeke felt as if the trauma from his past life was slowly being recovered.

Nigel felt his insides boil as he looked at Zeke who seemed to be in a good mood for some reason.

She threw down the club she was holding and drew her sword again.

The power of the spirit was infused into the ordinary-looking Arming Sword and then the aura of a giant sword rose up.

Nigel said looking at Zeke.

“I will completely engrave today’s memories into your body.”

“Yes? Master. Let me rest for a moment…”

“Shut up! There is no such thing as rest in my dictionary!”

Zeke was pushed to his limit as he was forced into an endless duel with Nigel.

However thanks to his Limit Break skill Zeke was able to overcome the wall that was blocking him and learn the true power of his spirit.

After a week like that Zeke was able to acquire the remaining parts of the Honshinki that he had not learned in his previous life.

* * *

Kookookookookook!

As Nigel took Zeke’s sword which was charged with the power of his sanity a huge wave was released around him.

Nigel who had blocked Zeke’s sword strike displayed his silver will and completely hid his presence moving stealthily to the blind spot.

Zeke also spread his will to the room and created a defensive area to defend against Nigel’s attack.

Quaching!

After the two people clashed once they took their distance from each other raised their swords and took a deep breath.

Within moments Nigel was the first to lower his sword.

“Okay. Adding them up would be pointless.”

With Solo Spell it was possible for Zeke to display the same level of dedication as Nigel.

Zeke smiled without realizing it glad to be acknowledged by Nigel.

Nigel clicked his tongue at the sight of such a zebra.

“The true power of the idiot’s full-power attack starts with the double spell! You who have just finally figured out how to solo don’t forget that you still have a long way to go before you can catch up to me!”

Zeke snickered as he watched Nigel nagging him for no reason.

After overcoming some of the trauma from my previous life’s teacher I was able to approach her without fear little by little.

“Thank you for teaching me Master.”

At Zeke’s thanks Nigel turned his head and sat down at a table set up on one side of the tree house.

Zeke immediately took out various tools from his inventory and started preparing a meal.

Even in his previous life Zeke always prepared meals for his teacher Nigel.

When she was alone it was hard to tell what she ate because she never took the time to eat first.

As Zeke placed various foods on the table Nigel began to eat them with an excited expression.

Zeke handed Nigel some water as he ate his bowl full of food in a hurry.

“Eat slowly Master.”

Nigel was once a fearsome teacher but he was the one who saved him in his previous life and taught him many things to survive.

Zeke was always bothered by the fact that he had not been able to ask Nigel for forgiveness in his past life.

Nigel said tearing into his bread as if he had read Zeke’s mind.

“There’s no need to make that face.”

“yes?”

“At first I had no idea what my past life was thinking when I accepted you and sent you back… Well I think I understand a little bit now.”

She said looking at Zeke.

“It was ultimately my will to accept you and to release you from the covenant. So there is no need to feel sorry for your past life or to think that you owe me anything.”

It was Nigel who seemed to have seen into Zeke’s mind and told him exactly what he wanted.

Zeke scratched his head in embarrassment after hearing Nigel say that.

“…I really can’t handle it Master.”

“It will take hundreds of years for a wretch like you to catch up with a great master like me.”

As they were laughing and eating happily again Zeke looked at Nigel and said.

“I have something to ask you Master.”

Nigel frowned as he watched Zeke’s mood suddenly change but then opened his mouth in a cheerful manner.

“What is it? Suddenly huh? I don’t know what it is but ask. The food was delicious today so I’ll answer.”

Zeke looked at Nigel and slowly opened his mouth.

“Master are you by any chance… a dragon?”
