A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 473



Episode 473

‘How? There was no trace of movement?’

Anastasia looked urgently at the fortress that Zeke had captured.

Woohoo!

Surprisingly the portal transporter was moving troops directly from the citadel to the stronghold.

She gaped at the sight of the human race’s portal transporter.

“Did the human race have something like that?”

Because I thought the human race was weak I never really figured out what abilities and equipment they had.

While she was panicking the troops who had moved through the dozen or so portals created in the citadel set up camp right in front of Anastasia’s citadel and lined up in a line.

In the siege the important high ground had already been taken by Zig’s side.

Anastasia was impressed by Zeke’s way of running the game but at the same time she was confused by the situation that she could not understand.

‘A person who is new to proxy wars can run a game like this? I can’t believe it.’

But that wasn’t important right now.

If Zeke’s forces attacked the castle with siege weapons it was obvious that they would soon break through the castle gate.

Anastasia returned straight to the citadel and inspected her camp.

The loss of major forces on the plains left holes in the defensive line.

Anastasia bit her thumbnail as she watched the unfavorable situation unfold.

If things continued like this defeat was certain.

Ugh!

She clenched her teeth and glared at Zeke’s camp with murderous eyes.

‘There is only one way.’

She took off the bracelet on her arm with a displeased expression.

“I never thought I would use this on a human being.”

Anastasia muttered and poured magic into the bracelet causing it to glow and float into the air.

A light flashed from the jewels on the bracelet and the words “Devil’s World” appeared before my eyes.

Anastasia began typing complex code into the configuration code input window.

Then changes began to occur in her camp.

Horses moved faster on ships production buildings were built in an instant and production rates increased.

She swallowed her pride to win.

* * *

‘Hmm?’

Zig checked the message that appeared in the system window.

[Abnormal setup code was found.]

[The contents of the corresponding setting code are as follows.]

[Increased production speed increased construction speed increased resource reserves….]

Zeke realized that Anastasia had been cheating during the match.

‘I didn’t think you’d do it the right way… but it’s too much for a beginner.’

Of course Zigg was also using the system to run the game in a way that was close to fraud.

However I realized that as things stand the longer I delay the worse it will be for me.

Zig gave orders to the commanders leading the troops in the camp.

“Everyone is participating.”

Woohoo!

There were three heroes that Zeke summoned from the summoning place.

The other two heroes aside from the first one summoned Sir St. George were a wizard and an archer.

The commander-in-chief Sir St. George and his knights took the lead followed by siege engines infantry and archers on mobile towers.

Kugugugugugu―

The wizards made a familiar and launched a falcon to secure a view of the sky giving them a clear view of the situation inside the castle on Anastasia’s side.

As they were examining it and planning their strategy something appeared in the air.

Kaaa …

One of the horses that appears in the latter half of the monster camp the wyvern swallowed its familiar the falcon in one breath.

When Zeke saw the wyvern appear he realized the power of the illicit setting code that Anastasia had entered.

‘It gets more and more disadvantageous as time goes by. I have to see it end quickly.’

Zig ordered the attack after setting up siege weapons in front of the castle.

Immediately the soldiers loaded rocks onto the siege engines and hurled them.

Phew!

A huge rock struck the orc fortress on Anastasia’s side.

Boom!

The castle shook as it hit the rock but it was built so sturdily that it did not budge at all.

Zig looked at the castle defenses through the system and thought about it.

‘It’ll take a while to conquer it with just a simple siege.’

If it had been a normal situation I could have taken my time and attacked but since Anastasia’s camp’s movements were unusual I couldn’t waste any more time.

Zeke gave orders to the commander-level wizard he had summoned.

“Summon the Golem!”

The wizard nodded and created a huge magic circle in front of the castle.

Kookookookookook!

A giant golem with its entire body made of rock rose from the magic circle.

Ggg …

A giant golem walked towards Anastasia’s citadel.

The earth shook with every step the golem took.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The golem summoned by the wizard arrived in front of the castle and extended its hand to destroy Anastasia’s keep.

But then something suddenly rose from the castle.

Kookung!

It was a wooden giant about the same size as a golem.

A tree giant towering over the citadel grabbed the golem’s arm as it reached out toward the citadel.

At the same time countless branches grew from the tree giant’s arms and wrapped around the golem’s body.

Ggg …

The golem tried to pull back to free itself from the tree trunk but it was already firmly held and could not move.

Trying to destroy the castle with a golem ended up creating another tower that blocks the view.

Zeke who watched the golem being captured while floating in the air had no choice but to pull back the siege weapon.

There was no way Anastasia would miss that opportunity.

Suddenly the ground in front of the castle began to split open and arachnes and giant spiders began crawling out of it.

Clang-

The Arachnes led by the Giant Spiders focused their attacks on the siege weapons.

Choaaaak―

The webs spewed by the giant spiders enveloped the siege engines causing them to harden and the wheels to stop moving.

In the meantime the Arachnes threw the siege engines backwards and brought them down.

Archers on mobile watchtowers fired arrows at the giant spiders and arachnes but they were fast-moving and numerous making it difficult to respond with a direct shot.

As Zeke’s army faltered perhaps judging that they had to seize this momentum the castle gates opened and a unit of orcs riding dire wolves burst out from within.

Grrrrrrrr!

A contingent of Orcs shouting battle cries charged towards the panicked knights.

Sir St. George took up his sword and led his knights into battle against the Orc hordes.

Kwakwakwakwang!

The knights and orc warriors clashed head-on and neither side backed down.

Anastasia who was watching the battle scene had a satisfied expression on her face.

‘Okay we’ve put out the urgent fire. If we block the path with Arachnes to prevent the follow-up siege weapons from arriving we can isolate the advance force.’

If the vanguard was wiped out Anastasia would have a much greater advantage in the follow-up attacks as she had used the code to increase her production speed.

It was at that moment that she was about to send the newly created monsters towards Zeke’s fortress.

A strange reaction was observed from the golem that was tied to the tree giant.

At first I thought it was because the summoning time had passed and it was disappearing.

But the reaction was completely different from what Anastasia had expected.

Wooooow!

As the commanding wizard who had summoned the golem swung his staff the golem which had been made of rock began to change shape.

The wizard was wearing a different colored robe than before perhaps because his level had increased in the meantime.

Whoosh whoosh!

Soon flames rose from the golem’s body.

It evolved from a normal golem into a flame golem.

Anastasia was terrified when she saw this.

“Oh no!”

The wooden giant holding the golem screamed and burned as it was engulfed in the flames of the fire golem.

In that state the flame golem pushed forward spitting fire in all directions.

The orc fortress which had been built so solidly collapsed as it could not withstand their power.

Urrrrrrrrrr―

As the outer walls collapsed Anastasia became anxious.

She tried to stop the flame golem by summoning other monsters.

“Stop it quickly! Don’t let it reach my castle!”

All remaining troops in the castle rushed towards the golem.

But then the golem suddenly changed direction.

Then it moved towards the production facility where the workers were not the combat facility and started spewing flames.

Whoosh whoosh!

In an instant the production facility burned down and the workers were burned to death.

The wizard who was moving the golem realized that there was not much time left for the summoning and recited the spell one last time.

Wooooow!

Then this time the flame golem curled up into a ball and crouched.

At the sight of the golem other monsters including wyverns rushed in and fired spears and magic cannons indiscriminately.

And after a while the crouching golem’s body began to glow white and caused a huge vibration.

Anastasia sensed something ominous and screamed.

“Back back! Back back!”

The moment she gave the order the flame golem’s body exploded in a huge burst of flames.

Kwakwakwakwa!

Flaming rocks flew in all directions burning the inside of Anastasia’s citadel.

Anastasia’s camp was devastated to the point of near-disaster with more than half of it blown away by a single flame golem.

No matter how much code was used to increase speed if the infrastructure was damaged the speed could not be maintained.

The remaining troops that had been gathered to stop the golem were evaporated in the explosion.

Anastasia gritted her teeth at Zeke’s surprising attack.

“That son of a bitch!”

Anastasia turned her head and tried to call the troops that had been attacking the knights back into the castle.

But in the meantime not only the Orc force but also the Arachne force were completely annihilated.

‘Oh how?’

While he was busy moving the tree giant to block the flame golem and not paying attention to controlling his troops Sir St. George quickly led the knights and eliminated all the monsters.

But that wasn’t the biggest problem right now.

Kugugugugugu―

A huge ship appeared in the air in front of Anastasia’s citadel.

Knights riding Pegasus appeared from flying ships and covered the entire Anastasia’s citadel.

Anastasia had no idea that the human race had such abilities.

In the Demon Realm no one would choose the human race in a proxy war and no one would last until the late game like that.

Valkyries riding Pegasus swept away all the wyverns in the air and swept into the inner castle walls.

Sir St. George led his knights through the breach in the fallen citadel created by the fire giant.

Anastasia tried to stop them somehow but it wasn’t enough.

Soon one of the Valkyries brought the blue flag and handed it to Sir St. George.

Sir Saint George holding the Holy Sword of Ascalon and the Blue Banner stood in a victorious pose atop a mountain of monster corpses.

Papabababam!

With the sound of a trumpet the word ‘Defeat!’ appeared in the Demon World language before Anastasia’s eyes.

As Anastasia stared blankly at it the match ended completely the virtual screen disappeared and the original arena was returned.

The demons who were watching the match in the arena were so shocked by Anastasia’s defeat that they were unable to make a sound.

The same was true for Anastasia who was sitting on the stage.

He never thought that he would lose to a human in a game of demon chess.

Before he knew it Zeke had walked up to Anastasia on stage and opened his mouth.

“I won.”

Anastasia couldn’t quite control her frozen face.

“You you… How dare you deceive me!”

“You lied? What do you mean? You were the one who suggested deciding the outcome with Demon World Chess.”

Strictly speaking it was Anastasia who deceived.

Zeke was merely a proxy for her in the Demon World chess game according to her wishes.

The thought that she had been deceived dominated her mind but no matter how much she tried to find fault with it there was nothing to find so Anastasia could not continue speaking properly.

Zeke said as he looked at Nigel who was sleeping in his dress.

“Unlike humans demons are good at keeping promises. Return your master and leave this place.”

Anastasia bit her lip and then got up from her seat.

Then suddenly he started laughing.

He wasn’t just laughing he was laughing like crazy.

She laughed for a while then came to her senses and looked at Zeke and said.

“Oh that was fun Zeke Draker. Did you have fun trying new things too?”

“Stop talking nonsense and just give me back my teacher quickly.”

Anastasia smiled at the words Zeke said with a blank face.

“I’ll give it to you. I’m a princess of the Demon World so I keep my promises well. If you said you’d give it to me then you should give it to me. But you know.”

She looked at Zeke and smirked.

“When did I ever say I would give it to you?”
