A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 463



Episode 463

“Knight of Salvation!”

The Highlanders raised their heads at Naboo’s shout.

They too had heard rumors about the Knight of Salvation Zeke Draker but this was their first time seeing him in person.

A glimmer of hope appeared in the Highlanders’ eyes that perhaps the situation could be turned around.

At that moment Zeke raised the Holy Sword Ascalon and unleashed the ‘Will of Light’.

The holy light that emanated from the sword formed a curtain and enveloped the entire battlefield.

Wooooow!

A curtain of light that extended over a wider area than Manna’s absolute barrier constantly trapped the oncoming monsters within it.

Keeeeeeek―

Just being exposed to the realm of the ‘Will of Light’ caused the monsters to writhe in agony.

The Highlanders cried out when they saw such monsters.

“They are afraid of that light!”

“Attack now!”

Even though they were completely exhausted the Highlanders did not give up and fought the beasts with their weapons until the very end.

And as if in response to their will something amazing happened.

When I swung my weapon within the realm of the ‘Will of Light’ even though it was a normal attack the thick hides of the monsters burst open in an instant and they fell bleeding purple.

The ‘Holy Spirit’ that Zeke activated with the will of light was embedded in the Highlanders’ weapons causing greater damage to the demons.

The Highlanders’ eyes changed as they realized that their attacks were much more effective now although they did not know the exact reason.

The flow of the battle began to change.

Zigg didn’t stop there but added healing factor and infinite stamina skills to his amplification power and launched them towards the central base.

Tsk tsk tsk―

A mysterious light seeped into the Highlanders’ bodies returning their strength and healing their wounds.

“oh my god….”

The Highlanders were speechless at the miracle brought about by Zeke.

But that was only for a moment as the Highlanders regained their strength grabbed their weapons jumped down from the retaining wall and charged at the rushing dogs.

“Haaaah!”

Highlander knights stood guard at the edge of Manna’s Absolute Barrier and cut down the monsters.

Adnan and Bodmir also swung their swords again and again.

However Zeke who was watching the battlefield from the air on Bucephalus had his expression hardened at the energy he felt from beyond the forest.

‘That’s….’

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The trees fell and the earth shook.

From beyond the forest giant boar-like demons were approaching the central camp.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Zeke discovered that the warlocks of the Abyss were riding on top of those boar-like creatures.

‘They’re launching an all-out offensive.’

Then the most advanced gangrene opened its mouth wide into the air.

Then a huge flame appeared inside the mouth.

Whoosh whoosh!

As the necrophiles began to pin themselves to the ground one by one the abyssal wizards gave the order to spit fireballs towards the central position.

Kuaaaang―

Soon there was the sound of a huge bomb exploding and a dozen fireballs flew towards the central position.

Kwakwakwakwang!

Fortunately the fireball was blocked by Manna’s absolute barrier and ended up exploding on the ground.

If there had been no absolute barrier it was clear that the central position would have been reduced to ashes in a single attack.

‘We need a defensive line to block their attacks.’

Zeke who was examining them activated defense mode on Bucephalos.

[Applies the battlefield area to defense mode.]

[Deploy guardians and summons on the battlefield. Please specify the location.]

[It is possible to summon a defense tower by consuming karma. Please specify the summoning location.]

Before doing what the system required Zeke summoned Richmond and Bane first.

“Did you call Master?”

“I have come at the master’s call.”

Zeke ordered the two Archliches to build a defensive line of bone and ice.

At Zeke’s command a wall of bone and ice rose in front of the Absolute Barrier.

Kkwadduk!

The triple-layered walls and narrow passageways through which the demons enter made it much easier for the Highlanders to deal with them.

Zeke didn’t stop there he placed his guardians on the very walls and released his shadow spirits and dragon warriors.

Horus and Idas Lynchaeus stationed on the defensive wall attacked the necrophiles stationed behind them.

Idas and Lycaeus shot arrows of light and Horus opened his mouth and spewed out magic cannons.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

As the gangrenes fell without being able to properly fight against the Guardians’ attacks the Abyss wizards immediately retreated to a place out of their attack range.

And again they tried to break down the wall with the help of their dogs.

At that time Zeke summoned and placed the Golem Knights in front of the Guardians.

The Golem Knights holding huge shields and taking up positions blocked the oncoming monsters from the front.

Kkwadduk!

The monsters fell to the ground slammed into the Golem Knights’ shields.

Kaaa …

As the dogs’ roars echoed throughout the battlefield Zeke was checking the situation through defense mode and was slightly surprised to see his karma points increasing without stopping.

‘You’ve already surpassed 30000 points.’

Ziggy looked satisfied with the points that were quickly accumulating then raised a shadow to absorb the demonic spirits and continue to replenish the lacking mana maintaining the guardians and summoned creatures.

The number of strange dogs that had been endlessly coming has clearly decreased.

Zeke who finally thought the time had come started to move.

Zeke aimed his holy sword Ascalon at the abyss wizards who had retreated while riding the gangrene.

Woohoo!

Zeke then drew up the power of the Elemental Sword.

Kookookookookung!

Zig who had unleashed the field of gold power swung his sword down and shook the ground where the demons were.

Kwarrrrrrung!

The ground beneath the demons’ feet shook and split sending the monsters tumbling down.

Wow! Wow!

The roar of the ghoul echoed from the cracks in the earth.

The bewildered wizards of the Abyss tried to somehow pull up the necrophilia but their power was not enough to stop the overturning earth.

Zig slowly withdrew the field of gold power while controlling the elemental power.

‘Still I feel like I have more control than before.’

Since the level of the Elemental Sword went up it had been difficult for Zigg to control it.

However as the level increased the control over the elemental sword also gradually became stronger.

Thanks to this it was possible to use elemental swords in battle although not to a completely satisfactory degree.

As the gangrene sank into the ground the flow of the battle changed completely.

The dogs that had been swarming began to retreat.

Krrrrrr—

Adnan shouted as he watched the fleeing dogs.

“They are going away!”

Highlanders with a lot of combat experience knew that if they let their guard down in this situation they could face a backlash.

Rather they strengthened their guard watching to see if other enemies might attack from behind.

At the same time those who still had strength formed a group and followed the retreating dogs.

Kkwadduk!

Bodmir swung his bastard sword wildly at the fleeing monsters as if trying to vent his anger.

“Hoo!”

After a while all the remaining monsters fled into the forest and the battlefield was littered with the corpses of fallen demons.

When things were almost settled Zeke landed on the ground riding Bucephalus got off Bucephalus and approached Adnan and Bodmir.

“Everyone has had a hard time.”

Adnan smiled bitterly at Zeke’s words and Bodmir rushed towards him.

“Wow Zigg Draker! No the Knight of Salvation! Thanks to you I survived. Should I give you a kiss?”

Zeke shook his head as he looked at Bodmir’s face stained with the blood of the demon.

“I politely decline Bodmir.”

Zeke pushed aside the delighted Bodmir and together with the other Highlanders skillfully cleared the battlefield and collected casualties before moving up to the central position.

As expected there was Nabu there tending to the wounded.

“Zeke Draker!”

Zeke greeted Nabu.

“It feels a bit awkward to see you in reality and not in a dream.”

He said with a smile took out a large quantity of potions from his inventory and handed them to Nabu.

“This is a new potion made by the Naga family. Use it on your patients.”

Fortunately there were no critically ill patients because Zeke had cast a healing factor all around during the battle.

The Highlanders began to skillfully heal their own wounds with the potions provided.

For the Highlanders who had to be self-sufficient at all times and carry out their missions first aid and healing skills were essential.

When the situation was somewhat resolved Nabu took Zeke into the central barracks.

But then he met me on the floor of the barracks and collapsed unconscious.

“Ouch! Meet me!”

It seemed like he had used up all his strength while maintaining the absolute barrier and then passed out.

It was only after hearing the verse ‘Wake up warrior’ recited by the man I met that I finally came to my senses.

“Umm I entered nirvana for a moment and then woke up.”

“You’re talking about something like Nirvana. I guess you’re okay because you’re talking nonsense. Drink this and come to your senses.”

I drank the potion that the man I met handed me.

Then he opened his blurry eyes.

“No this is…..”

“Why? What’s strange?”

“It’s so tasteless. It tastes like home.”

The biggest drawback of the Naga Family Potion was that it was tasteless.

Existing potions made by processing troll blood had various scents added to them to create a variety of flavors but since the Naga people’s potions were made by fermenting herbs it was important to preserve the original scent so adding other scents was impossible.

Because of this the twin alchemists were harassing Kay and Payne by spending astronomical amounts of money on research to create delicious Naga potions.

He took out a peppermint candy from his pocket took a bite and put his hands together in prayer toward Zeke.

“Jik Siju. The little monk says to meet. It’s nice to meet you.”

In fact Zeke had once seen Manna a high table in his past life.

He came as an assistant to strike the barrier when I was on a mission with Nigel.

‘The teacher was strange but the ambassador I met was also strange so I thought the High Table was full of strange people.’

Zig smiled to himself as he recalled his past life and greeted Ambassador Manna as if it was the first time they were meeting.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Zeke Draker.”

While the two greeted each other Nabu sat down in the armchair looking tired.

“Ugh I want to go back to Mount Ouroboros. I’m sick of dealing with those damn demons.”

At those words Manna recited a prayer and said:

“Why are you saying that when you’re going to the mountain and there’s nothing to do anyway?”

“I’m busy. I have to go fix the roof water the field and take a nap.”

“Om Aranam Aradha Sabha. Please Lord Nabu find your conscience so that you can be reborn in paradise.”

Zig looked at the drooping Nabu and changed the subject.

“Where is Master Nigel being held now?”

At his words Nabu suddenly rose from his seat.

“Oh yeah Nigel. I forgot about the old lady.”

He waved his hand and a map appeared in the air.

Nabu said pointing to the map.

“See where I marked? This is where their gate is. And the three places marked around it are where the gate’s energy source is. The place where Nigel’s signal was cut off is to the left of here.”

Zeke scanned the map Nabu had spread out and saved the information.

Then he asked Nabu.

“I heard that the highest-level demons took you away so I’m worried if Master is okay.”

“I think Nigel will be okay.”

“Did you receive any separate contact?”

At those words Manna who was standing next to him shook her head.

“Because if the demons touch Nigel she will go berserk even if it means risking her ascension to the Peach Blossom Land.”

Zig nodded swallowing a laugh after hearing Manna’s words.

‘You’re saying that you’re going to cause trouble before leaving this world.’

For the demons who had captured Nigel it must have felt like they were holding a huge bomb that could explode at any moment.

Zeke said as he looked at Nabu.

“Then closing the gate would be a higher priority than saving the Master.”

Nabu nodded at those words.

“That makes sense. As I said through the mirror we can’t go there. Only you Zeke can defeat them.”

Nabu felt this clearly while watching Zeke fight firsthand.

A strength that is different from that of ordinary knights.

However Zigg who was not limited by the laws of karma was definitely an alien being. I found that strange but I decided not to think too deeply about it since I needed that power for now.

Zeke who had been thinking about Nabu’s words for a moment raised his head and looked at Nabu.

“There’s one thing I’d like to ask you.”

“I wonder what.”

“What on earth are the Abyss bastards trying to take from the Forest of the Forgotten?”

Nabu met Zeke’s question and fell silent for a moment.

When Manna tried to say something Nabu raised his hand and stopped him.

Then he looked at Zeke and slowly opened his mouth.

“What they are trying to take from here is the ‘Black Star’.”

“A black star? What is that?”

Nabu hesitated for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“The Broken Heart of the Elder Dragon.”

He continued looking at Zeke.

“That is the identity of the black star.”
