A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 442



Episode 442

‘The great sage?’

Zig quickly picked out one word that stood out in the broken message.

‘Could it be that the one who blocked the entrance to this place was a great sage…?’

Kookookookook!

Then there was a reaction at the door.

The door split in half and dimensional energy swirled inside.

At the same time a portal-like dimensional door opened in the middle of them.

‘Is that the place?’

Zeke quickly grabbed his sword and used Spirit Transformation.

Tsk tsk tsk―

Zig who had become a spirit entered the dimensional gate.

And at the same time a message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[Abnormal phenomenon occurred.]

[Detecting intrusion of unauthorized entity.]

[Implement emergency measures according to the manual.]

It seemed like the security system had detected Zigg attempting to enter the dimensional gate in a spiritized state.

Crunch!

The hidden wall around the door opened and a sharp iron spike popped out.

A strong plasma arose from the iron needle creating a net in front of the dimensional gate.

However as this plasma net continued to stretch it caught the spiritized Zigg who was in the dimensional gap.

‘Ugh!’

This was the first time he had been attacked while in a spirit state so Zeke couldn’t help but be flustered.

In addition I was unable to move because I was caught in the plasma net and to make matters worse the door started to close.

‘no!’

A surprised Zeke tried to escape from the plasma net but he couldn’t move no matter what he did.

Eventually he tried to release his spirit form and jump into the dimensional gate but he was unable to escape the dimensional rift due to the plasma net.

‘Damn things have gone wrong…’

If you spend too much time in the dimensional rift in a spirit state the path to the phenomenal world might be closed.

‘Eeeeeeek!’

Feeling a sense of crisis Zeke tried to escape somehow by wielding the Astral Sword and using his full power but it was difficult to properly exert his power within the dimensional rift.

It was at that moment when the door was almost closing.

Woof woof woof―

Raven’s phoenix resonated through the dimensional rift.

Raven who had grown larger than before spread his wings and flew towards Zeke. Then surprisingly he started to peck at the plasma net surrounding Zeke’s body with his beak and eat it.

Woorurururu―

Zeke who was flustered as he watched Raven eating the plasma net as if it was delicious quickly used his strength to free himself from the restraints.

He sent a telepathic message towards Raven.

‘Raven! Come here!’

Raven licked his lips as if he was sorry to see the remains of the plasma net go to waste then flew towards Zeke.

Zeke grabbed Raven and launched himself towards the dimensional gate that was almost closing.

‘Haaaah!’

Zeke who had been screaming and using all his might barely managed to pass through the dimensional gate as if he was being sucked in.

bang!

At the same time the stone gate closed again.

The door remained silent again as if nothing had happened its mouth tightly shut.

Phage support support –

“Ugh!”

With a strong spark Zeke burst out into the phenomenal world rolling on the floor with Raven in his arms.

“Phew…..”

Zeke took a deep breath and looked around first.

‘I’m sure I came to the right place right?’

I felt like I wasn’t lost in another dimension as I could breathe and feel the solid ground beneath my feet.

But when I looked around something seemed strange.

‘Is this the temple of the goddess Theia?’

Unlike other temples there were all kinds of bizarre busts lined up around it.

A body that looks like a combination of several horrific creatures with sharp teeth and a distorted face.

As Zeke looked at these busts one thing came to mind.

‘External species?’

There were shapes lined up that resembled alien species with bizarre bodies tentacles and teeth.

Zeke slowly approached the busts of the alien species touched them then stepped back in surprise.

“What is this… It’s alive?”

Although it was fixed like a stone statue I could feel that there was definitely an external source within it.

Zig looked at the alien stone statues that filled the huge cavity.

‘If all these guys are alive…’

For a moment Zig imagined all these monsters waking up and appearing in the ethereal world.

It was so horrible that just thinking about it for a moment made my body shiver.

‘Wait a minute did the great sage seal the temple to stop them and prevent anyone from entering?’

Zig could understand why the security code had not been lifted here unlike the other ruins.

If these foreign species were to spill out it was obvious that an irreversible disaster would occur.

‘Whew it looks like it’s a temple so let’s go inside.’

The size of the space where the temple was located was so enormous that it was difficult to estimate.

The top of the cave was so high that it looked like a pitch-black hole so it was impossible to tell how many statues of foreign species there might be inside.

As we passed the piles of stone statues a temple building built in the Central Continent style appeared in the middle of the hall.

Zeke approached the building.

There was a strange feeling of incongruity in the space where the horrifying alien statues were placed with only a building made of white marble standing there.

As we approached the temple we saw that the door leading inside was open.

As we entered we were greeted by the sight of a typical temple made entirely of white marble.

‘Is this really the temple of the goddess Theia?’

Zig entered the temple along the straight path.

As he headed inward Zig discovered a statue standing in the middle of the temple.

‘Statue of the Goddess Theia?’

At first glance it looked like that but when I got closer and looked closely it wasn’t a simple statue of a saint.

“What is this?”

Half of the body of the holy statue was attached to the tentacles of a horrific alien species.

The shape was so vivid that it looked as if it was carved by some alien monster trying to swallow the statue of the saint in one bite.

And when Zeke looked at the statue of the saint a little more closely he couldn’t help but be surprised.

‘It’s not that the outer paper is swallowing up the statue of the saint. This… This outer paper is popping out from inside the statue of the saint.’

It was the appearance of a terrible alien being emerging from the body of the holy virgin and taking on its shape.

At that moment Zeke heard something in his ear.

『□◆□■◀ ▶▷□…Come to Lee. Child….』

It was similar to what I had heard from the traces of the previous Ajita Haka.

Hearing the words coming from the statue of the saint Zeke slowly approached as if possessed.

But then it happened.

Woorurururu―

Raven who was sitting on Zeke’s shoulder raised his head and shouted “Bong Hwang Sung!”

Zeke who was momentarily entranced by the voice coming from the statue of the saint suddenly woke up in Raven’s Phoenix Castle.

‘what?’

Zig who had regained consciousness for a moment looked at the statue of the saint.

At the same time a voice came out from the statue of the saint again.

“You who have the traces I left behind… Come here. Contain my will….”

For some reason Zeke found it difficult to reject the voice coming from the statue of the saint.

Before I knew it he was slowly moving forward again.

At that moment a message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[The title ‘Blessed by the Dragon’ detects traces of ‘Unspeakable Darkness’.]

[The title ‘Glory of the Sea God’ stands against the traces of ‘Indescribable Darkness’.]

[The title ‘Companion of the Forest’ stands against the traces of ‘Unspeakable Darkness’.]

[The title ‘Guardian of the Earth’ stands against the traces of ‘Unspeakable Darkness’.]

[The title ‘Fairy’s Blessing’ helps counter the traces of ‘Unspeakable Darkness’.]

[The title ‘Blessing of the Divine Blessing’ helps to counter the traces of ‘Unspeakable Darkness’.]

[The title ‘Protection of the Great Mage’ helps to counter the traces of ‘Unspeakable Darkness’.]

The titles that Zeke had accumulated combined their power to oppose the voice flowing from the statue of the saint.

Then the statue of the saint began to vibrate.

Ddddddddddd—

And the stone statue of an external species that was trying to pop out from inside the statue of the saint was moving very slightly but little by little.

Woorururu―

Then Raven flapped her wings and flew into the air.

Then he opened his mouth and poured out flames towards the external species that was about to jump out of the statue of the saint.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh―

Orange flames enveloped the stone statue of an outsider.

The movement that had been crawling out while causing vibrations slowed down and the outside species appeared to be trying to go back into the statue.

Kookookookook―

But as the flames that Raven had been pouring out weakened the horrifying tentacles of the alien species began crawling out again.

Seeing this Zeke put on the mask of Theia’s Hersion and Agamemnon and took out Roland.

Then he raised a flag above his head.

Woohoo!

As the light sphere of the Holy Spirit rose into the air Zig blasted a bolt of light at the outer species trying to leap out of the statue of the Holy Virgin.

Phage support support –

As the lightning of light and Raven’s flames surged in at the same time the tentacles of the outsider stopped moving again.

Meanwhile Zeke held his sword and summoned the power of purification.

Woooo …

A golden aura rippled from his body.

And immediately after golden waves spread out in all directions from his body and the power of great purification enveloped the statue of the saint.

Kugugugugugu―

The outer paper that was about to pop out of the statue of the saint hid itself inward when exposed to the power of the great purification.

At that moment a message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

-Sudden Quest-

[Restore the broken statue of Theia the goddess of the moon.]

[Quest Mission Reward: ???]

A sudden surprise quest occurred.

Zeke read the message and pondered how he could restore the broken statue while maintaining the power of the Great Purification.

He asked the system recalling when he freed Hades from his bonds with Blanca.

‘The system needs a way to restore that identity.’

At Zeke’s command the system began to find a way.

[One method was found in the search results. Would you like to run it?]

“Just do it!”

As Zeke spoke a system message appeared before his eyes.

[The holy relic obtained from Hermes the god of the forest is activated as an elixir.]

[The activated Hermes Relic reveals its true form.]

Tsk tsk tsk―

The relic of Hermes appeared along with a message.

The goat statue met the catalyst the elixir and began to spread tree trunks in all directions.

The growing tree trunk slowly stretched towards the broken statue of the saint.

The tree trunk wrapped around the statue of the saint and began to fill in the broken part where the outer paper had been hidden.

‘Huh?’

With the power of the Great Purification still in his possession Zeke watched as the relic of Hermes filled the broken parts of the statue of the saint.

Kuddudduk―

It was as if a tree had grown on half the face and body of the statue of the saint.

Then the message came back to me again.

[The power of the purest elements must inhabit the tree that grows from the sacred relic of Hermes.]

‘The power of the purest elements?’

Zig immediately remembered what elemental power the system was talking about.

He withdrew the power of the great purification and approached the statue of the saint.

Then he placed his hand on the tree covering the statue of the saint and summoned the power of the Elemental Sword.

Wooooowoong―

The pure power of fire wind water and gold.

Four colored lights emerged from Zig’s body as he unleashed his elemental power.

Wooooow!

The four elemental powers that surged from Zeke’s body enveloped the statue of the saint.

Then surprisingly the Tree of Hermes began to absorb the power.

Tsk tsk tsk―

The branches of the tree that had absorbed the four elemental powers slowly burned at some point and then scattered as ash.

At the same time the color of the tree gradually changed to white and before long the surface became smooth and the texture changed from that of wood to that of stone.

‘The surface of the tree is becoming harder than before.’

Zeke breathed more pure elemental power into the Tree of Hermes.

The tree filled with pure power had now turned completely white.

Woooo …

There was a strong vibration from the statue of the saint.

Only then did Zeke withdraw his elemental power and step back.

As the broken statue of the saint was restored to its perfect white form light spread out in all directions.

And at that moment a message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[Restored the broken statue of the Goddess Teia.]

[You have successfully completed the surprise mission.]

[Tears of the Goddess Teia will be given as a reward.]

‘Tears of the Goddess Theia?’

A quest reward appeared in front of the puzzled Zig.

When Zeke saw this he was so surprised that he shouted without realizing it.

“Is this adamantium?”
