A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 431

Episode 431
Kwakwakwakwakwang!
Azmun frowned as he heard a huge explosion.
He spoke to the adjutant next to him.
“Find out what’s going on.”
The adjutant immediately led the knights and ran towards the place where the explosion was heard.
Azmun’s expression as he watched those running away was not good.
‘Something feels strange.’
Azmun had a good sense.
For some unknown reason his whole body had been sending out warning signals since a while ago.
Even though Azmun himself was in a situation where he was not at a disadvantage his instincts kept sending him signals that he should leave the palace now.
Azmun who tried hard to suppress his warning signals caught his breath.
‘It’s okay. If anything we have test subjects provided by Siemens…’
Then from where the explosion had been heard another strange sound was heard.
Shh …
A sharp sound started from the epicenter of the explosion and resonated from all directions.
Azmun stepped back and shouted at the knights.
“Something’s happening! Everyone be on high alert!”
The knights of Magal Palace stood in formation holding their shields and began to watch in all directions.
At that moment something approached from across the palace corridor.
Shh …
Giant Komodo dragons were rushing towards the knights.
“Stop it!”
When dozens of giant lizards suddenly appeared in the palace the knights couldn’t help but be confused for a moment.
As they were panicking the dragon warriors who had been right behind the lizards appeared.
Wheeeeeek!

Dragon warriors riding Komodo dragons hurled javelins and shot arrows at the knights of Magallanes.
Pachin!
Although they were confused the knights of Magal Palace calmly raised their shields and blocked the dragon warriors’ attacks.
But soon the lizards began to push the knights back with their heavy bodies.
Kookookookook!
The knights of Magal Palace tried to stop the lizards’ charge somehow but it was virtually impossible.
As they were unable to respond properly the dragon warriors riding on the lizards leaped into the air and rushed into the knights of Magal Palace.
Choaaaak!
The dragon warriors drew their twin swords and cut down the knights of Magal Palace.
“Kwaaaaak!”
As the knights of Magal Palace were attacked by the dragon warriors while holding back the lizards their formation quickly collapsed.
Azmun’s face distorted as he saw this from behind.
‘Where on earth did those monsters come from…? Could they be Lopocale’s summons?’
Azmun who did not know the true identity of the shadow spirits was confused.
But it didn’t end there.
Choaaaak!
The Dark Spirits appeared at some point drawing their swords and sweeping away the knights of Magal Palace as they approached Azmun.
These were the people who were brought in and held in a mobile prison together with Zeke.
But then they broke free from their bonds escaped from prison and attacked Azmun from behind.
Azmun who discovered the Dark Spirit members felt as if he had been hit in the head.
‘Could it be Zeke Draker…?’
Kwakwakwang!
Then the wall collapsed with a huge noise.
Someone walked out accompanied by a thick cloud of dust.
A knight with a giant hammer.
Zeke Draker showed up looking fine.
Azmun was momentarily taken aback by Zig’s sudden appearance but soon instinctively screamed.
“Catch that guy right now!”
The knights of Magal Palace responded immediately to his command and ran towards Zeke.
Then Zeke raised his hammer and unleashed a field of golden power.
Kookookookook!
Then he swung his golden hammer at the knights who were running towards him.
Kkwadduk!
The knight of Magal Palace who was at the very front of the room was blown away with his shield and armor broken and crashed into the wall.
The other knights of Magal Palace stood still losing their will to fight at the force that was as if a giant had swung a hammer.
Azmun seeing this shouted at the knights.
“What are you doing! Hit him right now!”

Azmun shouted but none of the knights of Magal Palace who had been rushing at Zeke just a moment ago rushed at him again.
They themselves felt the overwhelming difference in inaction.
‘He is not human he is a monster.’
‘Even if you rush in you’ll just die.’
Kookookookook!
And then the power of charisma naturally flowed out from Zeke’s body.
As the power of Blood King Caligula and the authority of charisma combined the status of a lofty ruler naturally emanated from Zeke.
The knights of Magal Palace who had lost their will to fight unknowingly put down their weapons and knelt before Zigg.
The proud knights of Magal Palace surrendered before they could even fight.
Although there was a sense of distance Azmun also felt that the energy emanating from Zeke’s body was unusual.
‘Everything went according to Zeke Draker’s plan.’
He and Lofocale realized that they were no match for the clowns moving around on the stage set up by Zig Drake.
Azmun clenched his teeth and drew the sword on his back.
As if responding to that Zeke looked at the sword Azmoon was holding and said:
“A sword imbued with the power of the flesh-eating emperor Aztahaka. Azmun Barrios. It is too much for you to handle.”
Azmun bit his lips hard at Zeke’s words and then slammed his sword into the floor.
Tsk tsk tsk―
The sword quickly absorbed the blood spilled by the dead knights of Magal Palace.
Quaddudduk—
Ajitahaka’s sword which had absorbed blood changed into a similar shape as before.
Azmun raised his sword and glared at Zeke shouting.
“Zeke Draker! Where are you coming from…!”
Crunch-
But before he could finish his words Azmun’s arm which was holding the sword was cut off with an eerie sound.
‘uh?’
Azmun didn’t understand what had just happened.
I stopped talking and looked up to see Zeke standing there holding Azmun’s severed arm.
He pulled out the sword of Ajitahaka that was being held in Azmun’s hand.
Then he melted Azmoon’s arm with the power of corruption.
Cheeeeeeek―
Azmun who had been blankly watching his arm disappear in an instant was only then able to realize the situation.
“Zeke Draker neee …
Zik held Aztahaka’s sword and shook it back and forth.
“The power of the Meat Emperor. It’s a dirty sticky and unpleasant aura.”
The sword was imbued with an aura that was even more gloomy and sinister than that of the fallen constellation.
It was impossible to estimate how many people’s spirits and despair were contained within it.
‘They say he’s worse than Caligula. I think I can tell just by looking at this sword.’
By looking into Lopocale’s memories Zeke was able to access information about the flesh-eating emperor Ajitahaka.
A human who gave up being human to become a constellation.
It was Ramon Siemens who awakened such a being.
Zeke said as he looked at Azmoon.
“Did Ramon Siemens give this sword to you personally?”
Azmoon did not answer his question.
He just stared at Zeke for a while then said something else instead of answering Zeke’s question.
“Zeke Draker you cannot escape this ROM.”
“That’s something I’ll take care of. Azmun you’re the one who’s going to die here today.”
At that moment Azmun took a deep breath and stepped back.
“I wonder if that’s true.”
In an instant a black portal appeared in front of Azmun.
Woohoo!
Something suddenly popped out of the black portal.
Zeke reflexively swung his hammer at Inyoung who had suddenly appeared.
Hooooooooooo!
A hammer imbued with golden power flew towards Inyoung but the attack only passed by cutting through the air in vain.
Zeke looked at the figure emerging from the black portal.
‘That’s…?’
Reptilian-like pupils.
Skin covered with scales thicker than steel.
’employee?’
At that moment a powerful spirit flowed out from Yong-in’s body as he glared at Zigg with doubt.
Kwakwakwakwa!
However the dragon energy that was previously felt from Abel when he transformed into a dragon man could not be felt at all.
‘Is this a chimera that only has the outer appearance of a dragon without its heart?’
Seeing that it was contaminated with fraud it seemed like an experimental body created by mixing the corrupted blood of the Four Evil Ones with the blood of the Demon Dragon.
Even if it was simply a chimera with an external appearance it had a tough outer shell made of dragon scales so it seemed like normal attacks would be completely impervious to it.
As he was pondering what to do with the guy sharp claws shot out from the hand of the chimera that was glaring at Zeke.
At the same time the guy quickly ran towards Zeke.
Choaaaak!
He swung his claws fiercely but Zeke dodged them and where he had been a deep scar was carved from the dragon’s claws.
Zeke stepped back put away his hammer and pulled out Bahamut.
He immediately took up his sword stepped forward and slashed at the chimera in the form of a dragon.
Quaching!
Bahamut made of dragon bones collided with the guy’s scales.
There was a loud crash but the scales were only scratched and not cut.
Zeke stepped back and glared at the chimera this time displaying his power of dragon control.
[The power does not apply if the target is not a dragon.]
Just as Rahim’s chimera was not recognized as a mine it seemed that the chimera dragon man was not recognized as a dragon either.
Azmun who was hiding behind a chimera in the form of a dragon was glaring at Zeke and waiting for an opportunity to escape.
When Zeke noticed this and made a gesture the Dark Spirits blocked all escape routes and stood behind Azmun to prevent him from escaping.
Azmun seeing this clenched his teeth and shouted at the chimera.
“Destroy those guys immediately and open an escape route!”
At that command Chimera immediately turned around and ran towards where the Dark Spirit members were.
It must have been a judgment call that it would be better to defeat this guy and quickly escape rather than deal with Zeke but it was a big mistake.
There wasn’t a single easygoing person among the Black Spirits.
Kookookookook!
Zeros instantly unleashed his magic and bound the body of the rushing Chimera.
As expected of a knight of lightning Reina did not miss the opportunity and ran forward swinging her sword to strike the chimera’s neck.
Quaching!
However because of the hard scales that formed as it took on the appearance of a dragon Reina’s sword could not penetrate inside.
Then she immediately stepped back and shouted at the others.
“Its shell is as tough as Hersion! Attack from a distance and keep it at bay!”
The Black Spirit members followed Reina’s words and kept their distance to keep the Chimera in check.
Azmun was taken aback when contrary to his expectations the test subject dispatched by Ramon Siemens struggled.
‘I didn’t know that not only Zeke Draker but even the Black Sword Knights would be this strong.’
It was a big mistake to set a trap by assuming that Zeke Draker was just a black knight from the beginning.
‘He is no ordinary knight. He must be seen to possess not only magic but also numerous bloodline abilities and unidentified abilities.’
Azmun who had only just come to grips with the unknown power of Zeke regretted his mistake but there was no turning back now.
While he was regretting Zeke led the shadow spirits behind him and slowly approached Azmun.
“Azmun Barrios give up now.”
Then Azmun opened his mouth and looked at Zeke.
“Sir Zeke Draker I would like to make a suggestion.”
Azmun a sinister schemer tried to use his cunning to find a way out of this situation.
He continued speaking to Zeke.
“Don’t you want to catch the real Abel Siemens? I can help you achieve your goal.”
Zig nodded at Azmun’s words and said.
“I see. Do you know where Abel is?”
“Yes. Lopocale has kept him hidden so well that without me Abel would never be found…”
“It was hidden in the royal tomb.”
Azmoon’s face hardened at Zeke’s words.
He continued speaking while looking at Azmun.
“If you’re being bold then you’re being bold. Hiding Abel in the holy land where the remains of past emperors are kept. That place is basically forbidden.”
Azmun never thought that Zeke would know where the real Abel was.
‘Are you saying that his abilities have no limits?’
Then Zeke said to Azmun.
“Azmun. What if Abel were to destroy the Imperial Mausoleum the holy place? I wonder what the reactions of the black knights would be.”
At Zeke’s words the worst-case scenario was drawn in the mind of the trickster Azmoon.
‘no way…?’
Zeke looked at Azmoon and smiled.
“We needed a reason to move the Empire’s black knights and Lopocale was the one who brought Abel there.”
It was clear that if the rampant Abel destroyed the holy land of Hwangneung the other nobles and families who had claimed to be neutral would no longer be able to just sit by and watch.
Zeke was trying to provoke Abel into destroying the Holy Land and find an excuse to move the neutral nobles.
Only then did Azmoon realize why Zeke had walked into his trap.
“Zeke Drakeoooooo!”
Azmun shouted at Zigg a sense of defeat engulfing his entire body.
Seeing this Zeke picked up his sword and spoke to Azmun.
“If you surrender now I will spare your life. I think it is a very generous offer.”
Even at this moment Azmun’s head was spinning quickly.
He had no choice but to make the last worst choice.
Azmun spoke a word of promise to Chimera.
“All power restrictions are lifted.”
