A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 496



Episode 496

“Zeke Drakeoooooo!”

Kookookookookook!

Hearing Ramon’s angry roar Zeke aimed Ascalon at them.

‘If I had been any later I would have been in big trouble.’

After searching Edward’s head and finding out that Ramon Siemens was trying to create a passageway connecting to Ajitahaka with his power he quickly moved.

Besides if he waited for other troops to move it would be difficult to get here before the red moon rose. So he just gave the order and moved here alone.

Zeke who arrived at the extinction site using the coordinates he got from Edward went straight to the place where the ritual was being held and interrupted Ramon’s baptism.

Zeke who possessed the same power of Ajita Haka was able to disarm Ramon’s power and prevent him from opening the passage.

If Ramon hadn’t noticed anything strange and had continued to use his power he could have stalled for more time but he quickly changed his method and unleashed a stronger power that was unstoppable.

So since leaving it alone could have opened up a passage leading to Ajitahaka Zigg showed up himself and tried to stop the baptism in earnest.

When Ramon realized that it was Zeke Draker who had interfered with him he became extremely angry and shouted at the priest.

“Priest! As expected Zeke Draker has come to interfere! You too keep your promise!”

The priest nodded slowly after hearing Ramon’s words.

If I continued to be interrupted here and missed the red moon I could lose the chance to fully summon Ajita Haka.

With a snap of his fingers a black portal appeared in the air.

Wooooow!

Something came through the black portal with an ominous aura.

It was over two meters tall had a black horn on its forehead and had a body as hard as a rock with gray skin. Its hands were wrapped with leather straps with spikes.

Zeke furrowed his brows at the ominous aura he felt from the demon coming out of the portal.

‘This is not an ordinary demon. That’s… a top-tier demon.’

Anastasia was also a top-tier demon but her power and unique abilities were outstanding and her fighting ability was not that high.

However the demon that the priest called out was clearly the Tuma tribe.

Even though he was standing still the aura that was gushing out was so strong that even Zig who was far away could feel it.

At that moment Arataso’s voice was heard.

‘Oh my god isn’t that Tantalus?’

Nevilleros was surprised by Aratasso’s words and let out a gasp.

‘I can’t believe that Tantalus the executioner of the Abyss has appeared in the mortal world.’

Seeing Aratasso and Nevillos causing such a ruckus it seemed like they weren’t ordinary demons.

‘If you say Abyss does that mean the area east of the Demon World?’

Neville answered Zeke’s words.

‘Yes. The Abyss is a region in the Demon World where many of the Touma tribe gather. Furthermore the Abyss is a region where the two most aggressive demons of the six great demons are fighting so it is also where the most battles take place.’

‘Could it be that <Judge of the Endless Struggle> is also a demon in the Abyss?’

‘He is the right hand of the <Merciless Ruler> one of the rulers of the Abyss. And Tantalus is one of the executioners favored by the <Ruler of Unwavering Strictness> one of the six horses on the other side.’

If he was a subordinate directly controlled by the ruler of the demon world he probably wasn’t an ordinary strong demon.

‘I don’t understand why such a demon would come to the world of the living and listen to the words of those from the Abyss.’

After hearing the explanation of the opponent from Aratasso and Nevillos Tantalus who had been summoned at that time with questions raised his head and looked at Sieg.

Then he raised his hand and held out his palm.

thud!

He simply pushed the air with his palm and a tremendous storm of fighting spirit swept towards Zig.

Kwakwakwakwa!

‘Ugh!’

Zeke quickly escaped the storm of speculation by driving Bucephalus.

That was when.

Ss …

Without any noise Tantalus appeared right in front of Zeke.

He threw his fist straight at Zeke.

Boooooooooo!

He just swung his fist and the air tore apart making a terrible sound.

Zeke quickly turned his body and avoided Tantalus’s blow.

Hoooow—

The air was heated by friction showing how strong the force of the blow was.

Zeke kept his mouth shut and glared at Tantalus who was about to strike again.

He quickly swung his sword at Tantalus.

Phew!

Ascalon flew towards Tantalus glowing with light.

Kuung!

Tantalus raised his arm wrapped in a studded leather strap and blocked Zig’s sword strike.

The Holy Sword Ascalon had a special effect that inflicted great damage on the Demon Race.

But the special effect didn’t work.

‘What happened?’

Tantalus who had blocked Zeke’s sword strike took control again and assumed a stance.

Then he took a deep breath and quickly swung his fist.

Pavabavabat!

Fists rained down on Zeke at a speed so fast he couldn’t even see them.

Kwakwakwakwang!

Zeke blocked Tantalus’s fist by creating a shadow.

The power was so strong that the shadow shape scattered and could not return to its original state.

‘Is this the real power of the Touma tribe?’

While blocking Tantalus’ attack Zeke looked towards Ramon Siemens and the priest at the altar.

Ramon Siemens regained his power and tried to connect the passage.

When Zeke looked up he saw that the full moon was almost covered by shadow.

‘We must stop that ritual!’

To do this Tantalus had to be solved first.

After he unsummoned Bucephalus he also unsummoned Hersion of Theia.

The idea was to make my body as light as possible in order to deal with Tantalus.

Then Zeke took out Levatein instead of Ascalon.

Tsk tsk tsk―

Shadow Armor rose and a dark shadow appeared around Zeke’s body.

“Come out Caligula.”

Kugugugugugu!

Shadows gathered together to form a shape and Caligula the shadow guardian spirit wearing a rosary appeared next to Zeke.

Caligula created from the soul of the Blood King radiated an intimidating aura that surpassed that of the highest-level demons.

Tantalus also looked at Caligula with an interesting expression perhaps feeling a sense of triumph.

“Caligula stop that demon.”

[Okay master.]

Caligula answered in a deep voice and slowly approached Tantalus.

Then out of the blue he opened his mouth wide and breathed fire at Tantalus.

Kwakwakwakwa!

A fierce flame burst out of Caligula’s mouth.

Tantalus struck with his fist the flames shooting out of Caligula’s mouth.

Phew!

A strong gale forced Caligula’s fire back into the flames.

Kookookookookook!

Because of this Caligula ended up being engulfed in his own fire.

After a while the flames died down and Caligula who had been caught in them was no longer visible.

Tantalus turned his head again and was about to go towards Zeke when surprisingly Caligula appeared behind him.

Phew!

Caligula took off his rosary and wrapped it around Tantalus’ neck.

Caligula who had thus caught Tantalus with his rosary held his shoulder with his other hand.

His forehead split open and a third eye popped out from within.

Jiiiiiiiiing―

The third eye made a strange noise and dug into Tantalus’ mind.

But Tantalus a top-class warrior who had been honing his fighting skills for thousands of years had an incredibly strong mental defense system.

Kookookookook!

His mind reacted to the attack and instead Caligula suffered a mental blow.

Tantalus whose strength had been weakened by the mental shock immediately took up his position and thrust his spear at Caligula’s side.

Paaaaang!

Caligula’s side exploded with a loud crack and scattered.

Kookookookook!

Caligula who had scattered like fog took shape again a little distance away.

Caligula now in his physical form unfurled his robe this time towards Tantalus. Within it shadows rippled without end.

And then something emerged from the shadows.

Huge red eyes.

The red eyes created by Caligula flashed light towards Tantalus.

Tsk tsk tsk―

Tantalus met Caligula’s eyes and closed them for a moment then opened them again.

And the moment he opened his eyes Tantalus stopped in his tracks when he saw the famous warriors of the Demon World glaring at him.

And at that very moment they rushed at Tantalus.

Kwakwakwang!

Tantalus did not hesitate and swung his fist at them.

The demons disappeared their bodies crushed by his fists.

But soon other demons appeared.

These were not real beings but illusions created by Caligula.

The moment his eyes met with hers Tantalus fell under Caligula’s spell.

Tantalus fell for Caligula’s trick and had to fight a fierce battle with the illusory demons.

Meanwhile Zeke had left Tantalus in the care of Caligula and had flown straight to the altar.

He held Levatein and unfurled his elemental sword towards the altar.

As the field of gold power spread out pressure was applied to the entire altar.

Kookookookook!

Cracks began to appear in the demon statues that were supporting the stage under strong pressure.

At that moment the four horsemen of the Apocalypse appeared in the sky to stop the flying Zeke.

Each of the four riders’ swords displayed their own unique abilities.

From the white rider’s sword came a thunderbolt from the blue rider a gust of cold from the black rider a poisonous mist and from the red rider a torrent of flames.

Kwakwakwakwa!

Different unique abilities poured out towards Zeke but it was useless.

This was because Zeke had summoned Shadow Armor and blocked all of their attacks.

It was Zig who not only blocked them but also raised shadows to attack them instead.

Choaaaak―

Shadows that had become sharp blades faced the four horsemen of the Apocalypse.

As the power of Zeke’s force grew stronger it threatened to destroy the platform itself.

But then it happened.

Boooooooooo!

Tantalus who had subdued Caligula blew a whirlwind toward Zeke.

Kwaaaaang!

A blast of wind blasted towards Zeke’s face.

Kookookookook!

Zeke quickly turned around to avoid the attack.

As soon as I raised my head after dodging the attack I saw that Tantalus’ appearance had changed.

His muscles were more bulgy and his elongated horns were sending out black lightning.

I felt not only the power of speculation but also the authority of the constellations.

‘Did you strengthen your body with power?’

Tantalus took a stance toward Zeke and bumped his fists together.

The huge shockwave created by the clash of fists surged towards Zig.

Kwaaaaang!

Zig raised his sword to block the attack and then unleashed his golden field again.

Kkwaddudduk!

As Tantalus was restrained and pressure was applied to the altar the platform began to tilt.

Kookookookook!

Since the ritual could not be performed if the altar collapsed Zeke applied more pressure.

But then all of a sudden the altar that had been tilting and collapsing returned to its original state.

‘what?’

As I looked closely I saw the Maras that had been avoiding the will of light springing out from the evil spirit statues and holding on to the collapsing platform.

Zig clenched his teeth and raised his golden force field even stronger.

Tantalus who was watching this raised his fist again.

Then he slowly opened his mouth.

“Human warrior. Strong.”

As he met his fist again with his words a strong black energy rose from his horn.

Pfft pfft pfft!

A black current enveloped Tantalus’ fist.

Kookookookookook!

Immediately Tantalus swung his fist with great force with black electricity flowing through it.

Kwarrrrrrrr!

A fist filled with black electricity flew towards Zig.

Zeke who was holding the Elemental Sword tried to block Tantalus’ attack by raising his Shadow Armor.

However Shadow Armor alone was not enough to block all of Tantalus’ attacks.

Kiiiiiing―

The fist and black electricity passed through the Shadow Armor and struck Zeke’s body.

“Cough!”

Even with blood gushing from his mouth Zig held on without collapsing.

The healing factor didn’t work as well as usual.

It was difficult to grasp the principle by which he had inflicted such a blow on himself an immortal being.

Zeke stared at the altar enduring the pain.

‘We have to tear that place down at once.’

He endured the pain and prepared the dragon tribe skill ‘Dragon’s Breath’.

It was a technique that had to be used cautiously because it consumed a lot of mana when exhaled all at once.

Zeke’s eyes turned into dragon’s eyes and a sentence appeared over his chest.

“Haaaaaah!”

Light gathered in the sentence and soon compressed mana poured down toward the altar.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!

The dragon’s breath destroying everything flew towards the stage.

As the halo of light reached the stage the lights swelled up in an instant enveloping everything.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

A powerful explosion spread across the landscape and a blinding light engulfed everything.

But then it happened.

Kkieeeeeeing―

As if time was turning back the bursts of light began to gather into one place.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk―

And then looking at the dragon’s breath that soon dispersed into nothingness Zeke made an expression of disbelief.

The platform and altar which had been engulfed in light and looked like they would explode at any moment also revealed their original appearance.

Zig looked up at the sky trying to push away the fatigue he felt all over his body.

The full moon in the sky was completely covered by shadow and an ominous red moon was shining above it.
