A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 437



Episode 437

“Sir Zigg Draker and Duke Crevan are meeting? Why?”

The adjutant replied to Calito’s words with a cold sweat.

“I don’t know the reason either…”

Calito waved his hand as if he understood and pushed the adjutant away.

As the adjutant left Carus spoke to Carlito and Leo with a look on his face that suggested he had expected this.

“I told you Duke Crevan is also keeping an eye on it.”

Leo and Carlito were left speechless at Karus’ words.

After a long silence Leo spoke in a serious voice.

“Regardless of the reason I think it would be a good idea for us to go and meet Duke Crevan first.”

At Leo’s words Carlito looked tense.

“What if they want to capture me or Archon Julius under the pretext of Zeke Draker?”

At those words Carus clicked his tongue and said.

“I wonder if the Duke of Crevan will openly stab the Acting Consul with a spear through his heart? Don’t worry too much and let’s go quickly.”

Even after hearing Karus’s words Carlito still couldn’t hide his uneasy expression.

‘Why did it have to be the Duke of Crevan? If I had known this would happen I would have interacted with him more and become closer to him earlier.’

As the vice-captain of the Knights of the Scorpio during the Mad Emperor’s reign Carlito tried to gain favor by interacting with many famous people.

However he was afraid of the strict and upright Duke of Crevan and could not approach him.

It was natural that he had not dared to approach the Duke of Crevan in the past but now he could only regret his past actions.

‘Damn I guess I’ll have to face this head on no matter what.’

Carlito got up from his seat and followed Leo and Carus out of the office to meet the Duke of Crevan.

* * *

Daria Calvi standing next to Duke Crevan felt like she was dying from the awkwardness of the situation itself.

Duke Crevan who arrived at the palace revealed that the purpose of his visit was to compete with Sieg Drake.

Thanks to this the powerful men of the Black Sword Knights including Andrei Aul Cloone Farrell were gathered in the reception room waiting with nervous expressions while facing Duke Crevan.

Daria and the knights of the Black Sword Order were nervously watching Duke Crevan but he himself was calmly drinking tea with an indifferent expression.

“hmm.”

Duke Crevan put down his teacup raised his head and opened his mouth.

“What region are these tea leaves from?”

Daria rolled her eyes in confusion at his words.

“That that…..”

Daria who didn’t know much about cars turned her head towards the Black Sword Knights in confusion.

However even though they were the Black Sword Knights they didn’t really know anything about cars.

Felix who was standing behind noticed and whispered to Cloone.

“Shall we go quickly and find out where it is?”

At those words Kleene told Felix to shut up and struck him deep in the forehead with her elbow.

That was when.

“The tea leaves were sent directly from the Ishtar Palace.”

The door opened and someone came out to answer Crevan’s question.

None other than Zeke Draker appeared.

He sat down opposite the Duke of Crevan and opened his mouth.

“Does the tea suit your taste?”

Duke Crevan slowly nodded at Zeke’s words.

“I like the scent. It’s mysterious how it’s elegant yet subtle yet has a definite presence.”

The Duke of Crevan looked up and at the young knight sitting across from him.

‘I think I know why Daria said that.’

When I first heard about Zeke Draker I suspected that the Draker family had exaggerated his abilities to earn him the title of Knight of Salvation.

Each time he heard rumors of the coming of the Salvation Knight the Duke of Crevan became more and more convinced that his suspicions were correct.

However Duke Crevan who faced Zeke in person today had no choice but to admit that his thoughts were wrong.

‘Strong.’

It wasn’t just strong it was so strong that you couldn’t see the bottom of it.

He couldn’t even remember when he one of the strongest fighters on the continent had last withheld judgment like this when looking at an opponent.

Duke Crevan looked at Zig without saying a word.

Thanks to this not only Daria but also all of the Black Sword Knights were tense and waiting for Crevan’s reaction.

It was Zeke who spoke first.

“Would you like another cup of tea?”

Duke Crevan slowly nodded at Zeke’s words.

He took the tea and teapot out of his inventory and brewed the tea.

Crevan watched Zigg’s appearance as he drank tea very naturally without saying a word.

He brought the car he had personally prepared and placed it in front of the Duke of Crevan.

The peacock drank his tea slowly savoring the fragrance.

Zeke also poured some of the tea he had brewed into a teacup and enjoyed it with the peacock.

The two concentrated on drinking tea in silence for a long time.

And when the teacups were all emptied Duke Crevan stood up first and Zeke also stood up following him.

The two of them went out in silence toward the central garden in front of the palace.

Daria and the Black Sword Knights who were watching this all had bewildered expressions.

Felix spoke first.

“Shall we follow along for now?”

As if responding to those words Daria and the Black Sword Knights finally came to their senses and headed towards the central garden where Zeke and Crevan had gone.

Zig and Crevan arrived at the central garden and stood facing each other without holding anything.

And then he just sat there still without saying anything.

Leo and Carus Carlito who came out to the garden late also looked nervous as they looked at Zeke and Crevan who were standing facing each other in silence.

Calito approached Daria and asked her.

“Old Commander. What’s going on now?”

At his words Prince Leo who was standing next to him shook his head with a serious expression.

“I think it would be best for you to keep quiet Acting Butler. It seems that… a showdown that only the Black Knights can understand is unfolding.”

At Prince Leo’s words Carlito shut his mouth.

In reality Zeke and Crevan were not moving or speaking but a fierce confrontation was unfolding between them.

Zeke and Crevan had already reached the level of Black Knight and were looking forward to the level of Grand Master.

Direct attacks were not important to them.

‘Dominion of the realm.’

It was more important who could first seize the territory where they could exert their will.

Break!

A single fallen leaf got stuck between Zeke and Crevan’s territory and then turned to dust and flew away.

It was evidence that a fierce battle for invisible territorial rights was taking place.

At that moment someone appeared towards the Black Sword Knights.

“The King of Hell. For such a big shot to come in person. How surprising.”

He was none other than Duke Draker.

After finding the sealed memories with Zeke’s power he recovered his body and came to the Rom Palace from Heli.

Duke who had regained his memories was gradually recovering from his trauma and regaining the power of the Black Knight just as Zeke had expected.

The Duke said to Aul and Andrei.

“Open your eyes wide and open your senses completely feel it clearly with your whole body. One day you too will have to reach this place.”

Aul and Andrei followed the Duke’s advice and looked at Zig and Duke Crevan with their spirits raised as high as possible.

Then at some point a rift began to appear between Zeke and Duke Crevan.

Kugugugugugugu―

The marbles that had been laid on the garden floor eventually cracked and burst open little by little unable to withstand the momentum of the two people.

Kkwaddudduk!

The broken marbles turned to dust and scattered in the wind.

Suddenly the area around Zig and Duke Crevan was swept by a strong gust of wind.

“Ugh!”

Those who were watching the two people had no choice but to step back due to the sudden gust of wind.

Kwakwakwakwa!

Soon a huge cloud of dust engulfed Zigg and Duke Crevan making it impossible to see inside from the outside.

Kugugugugugu―

Within the cloud of dust Zigg and Duke Crevan were taking different stances than before.

Zig held his blade in front of his chest and Duke Crevan aimed his right index finger at Zig.

Duke Crevan looked at Zeke and said.

“Thanks to you I’ve been surprised many times today.”

It was surprising that Zeke was a true black knight but he was even at the same level as himself.

I really never imagined it would be at this level.

‘This is the first time I’ve faced an opponent of this level since Sword King Bernas.’

King Bernas.

He was the strongest sword-wielding knight except for Arthur Draker who was called the Overlord.

Duke Crevan looked at Zeke and recalled the time when he had faced the Sword King Bernas in his youth.

It was a pure time when he simply aimed his sword as a knight without any affiliation with the Roman Empire or the Draker family.

Duke Crevan felt as if he had gone back in time as he faced Zeke.

Zig slowly approached Duke Crevan with his hand raised.

Zeke’s domain moved with him.

Like a ferocious beast that is still but has eyes that shine brightly to bite the nape of the neck in an instant Zeke’s domain was sharp and aimed for Duke Crevan’s weakness.

thud!

Duke Crevan took another step forward his finger raised.

Looking at the Duke of Crevan like that Zeke was reminded of a sturdy fortress standing tall.

As he moved Duke Crevan’s fingers slowly followed him and aimed at Zeke.

Before he knew it Duke Crevan’s fingers had turned into spears.

The sharp tip of the spear was watching Zeke’s movements ready to pierce his heart at any moment.

During the standoff it was Zeke who broke the balance first.

Choaaaak!

Zeke unleashed his whirlwind and advanced toward Duke Crevan.

Phew!

He flew into the air and aimed for the peacock’s crown with the Astral Sword’s powerful blade.

Duke Crevan watched as Zeke swung his blade feeling as if a greatsword was being swung down upon him.

He twisted his waist while keeping his feet planted on the ground and stretched his fingers into the air.

Kugugugugugu―

A sharp spear-like shape extended from the finger aimed at Zig.

A greatsword and a sharp spear clashed in the air.

Quachiing!

Even though the sword and spear were not real they clashed and a sound like iron clashing with iron rang out.

The intangible shapes created by the Astral Sword canceled out each other and the waves created between them spread out into the surrounding area.

Kkwaddudduk!

The gust of wind created by the wave swept even stronger around the two people.

If things continued like this the entire central garden of the palace would be turned upside down.

But the two had no time to worry about such things.

Zig rode the wave that spread out straight ahead and rushed back towards Duke Crevan.

This time I charged at him with energy in both hands.

Fab’s Infinite Chain the foundation of the Infinite Sword unfolded in Sieg’s hands.

As the infinite chain of rotation attacks poured out Astral Swords flew towards Duke Crevan from all directions.

Kwakwakwakwa!

Duke Crevan made a gesture this time using his palm instead of his fingers to face the whirlwind that was raging like a storm.

His entire arm turned into a spear.

Duke Crevan swung his arm which had turned into a spear and deflected the spinning attack to the side.

It was as if he had used his power to dodge Zigg’s attack just like the hydraulic field from the Elemental Sword.

Phew!

Duke Crevan sent a spinning attack then turned the direction of his energy back and attacked Zeke again.

Kwakwakwakwa!

The attack that was aimed at the Duke of Crevan flew towards Zeke with even stronger force.

Zeke saw the powerful sword strike flying towards him and instead lunged further towards it.

“Haaaah!”

Zeke extended his arm and swung his blade toward the sword.

Damn it!

It wasn’t just sword strikes that Zeke struck with his hand.

It was like cutting down the space where the sword fight existed.

A higher-dimensional attack that pushes the sword into a gap in space and cuts down the space in which the sword strike exists.

It was a technique that Zeke had previously demonstrated that was previously demonstrated by King Bernas.

Moreover it wasn’t just the space where there was a sword fight that Zeke had to endure.

The attack even affected the Duke of Crevan’s space beyond.

Damn it―

The space where Duke Crevan was was torn apart by Zeke’s blade and Duke Crevan was torn apart along with the split space.

But then it happened.

Tsk tsk tsk―

The new Duke of Crevan who had split apart with space disappeared like a mirage.

And immediately after that the Duke appeared right in front of Zeke.

The movement was so swift that it outpaced Zig’s attack that even cut through space.

Duke Crevan who appeared in front of Zeke gathered the capital tightly and took another step forward.

A spear piercing through his essence exploded from his arm.

The King of Hell’s Spear (眞)

The final scene

One flash of mortal destruction
