A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 51



Episode 51

‘Constantine? And Siemens?’

Constantine was the surname of the Roman imperial family.

The fact that Siemens is included as a middle name signifies that it is a blood relative of that family.

It made no sense that the Siemens one of the Draker’s main bloodline families would be a blood relative of the Imperial family of the Rom Empire.

This is because among the noble families that have maintained the Roman Empire for a long time only the Electoral Counts who have the right to vote in the election of the Emperor can use their middle name.

Cain took a stance and looked at Zeke.

“It’s a shame to kill the knight here but I saw something I shouldn’t have seen so there’s nothing I can do.”

Woohoo!

An aura blade imbued with an eerie aura rose from Cain’s sword.

Kwakwakwakwa!

Unlike the Blue Knight who can only create Auror Blades the Red Knight can freely control them.

It could be lengthened and its shape could be changed at will.

Cain’s Auror Blade rose up and soon took the form of a giant lancer.

Seeing that the surface was steadily concretized it was clear that he had complete control of the aura by his own will.

As Cain raised his sword Hersion activated and a helmet automatically placed on his face.

Cain clad in great magic armor aimed at Zeke while wielding a giant lancer made of auror blades.

Then he slid towards Zig.

Kwakwakwakwa!

Due to the magical effect of Hersion he rushed straight towards Zigg at an incredibly fast speed.

At the same time the lancer-shaped aura blade began to rotate.

Kiiiiiing!

The surrounding atmosphere was sucked into Cain’s Lancer.

Zeke held Bahamut and took a deep breath.

‘It can’t be countered with ordinary techniques.’

Zeke took up the Elemental Sword’s gimmick.

The skill he had the hardest time learning.

A field of hydraulic power spread from Zig’s hand.

Elemental Sword

The hydraulic field

Wave Sword

As if a huge wave was crashing down Zeke’s sword created waves and collided with Cain’s lancer which was quickly rushing forward.

Kkieeeeing!

As Zeke faced the swirling Cain’s lancer head-on Kaiser’s voice rang in his ears.

‘You idiot! The power of water is all about softness! When strong collide with strong all that remains is simultaneous destruction!’

In that moment Zig relaxed his body while still holding the sword.

I gently pushed past Lancer who was trying to relax his body as much as possible recalling the strength I had learned from being hit by Caesar.

Phew!

As if a wave was crashing down Zeke’s sword passed over Lancer and struck Cain’s waist.

bang!

Even though Bahamut struck Cain’s Herzion was not damaged even a single time.

But Zeke didn’t care and stepped on the welcome mat and returned to Cain’s blind spot.

Then he swung his sword at Cain’s back again.

bang!

This time too the sword strike hit but it didn’t hit anywhere on him.

Before he knew it Cain had distanced himself again and was aiming his Lancer at Zeke.

Even though it was a short distance he used his elasticity to forcefully stab the lancer with his whole body.

Kwakwakwakwa!

It was so powerful that it felt like my entire body would be torn to pieces if I just brushed past it.

Zeke was able to withstand the pressure of the lancer by making his skin hard with the dragon clan skill Dragon’s Gap.

They fought each other at close range exchanging swords and lances.

Zig opened up some distance and used his dragon skill Dragon’s Claw to find an opening.

Chomp!

But Cain’s Hersion even stopped the dragon’s claws.

At this point I was wondering what on earth that armor was made of.

Zeke hovered around Cain trying to find an opening.

If they fought one-on-one he would have the advantage even if it was a long battle because he had infinite stamina but in the current situation as time passed knights from other empires would come and then he would be in a much more disadvantageous situation.

Then Cain slowly stepped back.

He said pointing his lance at Zeke.

“That’s really amazing. I never thought there would be a knight at that age who could argue with me to this extent.”

Cain raised his lance.

“But I think it’s time to end it now.”

Phage phage phage!

In an instant a red current shot out from Cain’s lance.

At the same time an even more eerie aura than before rose from his body.

Zeke caught his breath and picked up his sword again.

Then a message appeared before his eyes.

[Magic detected.]

[You can earn bonus points by defeating enemies with magic.]

‘Magic?’

Before Zeke could properly understand the content of the message Cain with his whole body wrapped in red electricity charged towards Zeke with his lance drawn.

Kwakwakwakwa!

Zeke also took a charging stance with his sword extended forward towards Cain who was rushing towards him like a red meteor.

It was the True Dragon Sword left behind by Shatton Drake.

Dragon’s Sword Technique

Chapter 8 Section 2

Yonglin stabbing

It was a fatal technique that subdued the dragon by striking its vital point in one go.

With his legs firmly planted on the floor Zeke twisted only his upper body to deliver a powerful spin.

The aura on his sword spun around and collided head-on with Cain’s Lancer.

Kwakwakwakwa!

The stabs clashed with each other sending huge waves shaking the entire dungeon.

“Ugh!”

Zeke clenched his teeth as he saw Cain’s aura flying towards him pushing away his own thrusts.

Bahamut’s heart which had been in the middle of the battle began to beat violently and continued to spurt out mana.

Kwakwakwakwa!

But in the end Zeke was pushed back by the power of Cain’s aura and ended up flying towards the burning camp and crashing.

Kookookookook!

The camp which was burning with the power of a powerful aura was completely destroyed.

Thud thud!

As Cain released Hersion’s helmet and waved his hand towards the remains of the camp the ashes split apart on both sides.

And inside there was Zig bleeding and lying on the wreckage his stomach gaping with a hole in it.

“Ugh!”

He tried to get up somehow but his body was so weak that he couldn’t move.

Cain slowly approached Zeke.

He said looking at Zeke.

“I see you are a blood relative of the Draker family.”

Zeke looked up at Cain who was frowning and said.

“How… did you know….”

“It’s the same with repelling magic. The swordsmanship you use is also similar to the Yongsal method.”

Most of the swords used in the Dragon Sword Technique the Dragon Sword Technique written by Zig were from the latter half of the Dragon Sword Technique.

This meant that Cain knew the latter half of the Dragon Slaughter method which was forbidden to be leaked to the outside.

‘Those damn Siemens guys…’

I don’t know exactly what Siemens’ plot was but it was clear that he had deep connections to the Empire.

Zeke asked Cain spitting out black blood.

“You guys… are you a red knight of the empire?”

Then Cain looked at the nearly dying Zeke and said:

“It’s not like I’ve been officially promoted but I guess I should consider it that way. But that kind of rank doesn’t mean much to me.”

“…What do you mean by it being meaningless?”

“It is true. The old outdated Auror training methods are no longer meaningful. With new powers I will rise above the level of the Black Knight.”

Cain slowly raised his sword.

“I think I’ve said too much. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a decent opponent. I salute you for your fight and give you an honorable death.”

He approached Zeke held the sword upside down and aimed it at his heart.

“Rest in peace.”

Phew!

Cain’s sword pierced Zeke’s heart.

After a while when he saw that Zeke had completely stopped moving Cain drew his sword.

Then he turned around after taking the sword and muttered.

“It’ll take some time to move everything to the lab.”

That was when.

Squeak!

A blade of wind passed across Cain’s neck.

Cain instinctively turned his body but was unable to completely avoid the blade.

He looked back in disbelief stopping the blood flowing from his neck with his palm.

“how!”

Zeke who had barely healed his broken heart and wounds to his stomach ran towards Cain holding Bahamut.

Then he thrust his sword into the gap in Hersion’s sword that he had barely managed to create by continuously striking him.

Phew!

Bahamut covered in aura was pinned to Cain’s side.

Cain glared at Zeke with bloodshot eyes.

“Yes! Yes yes!”

Zeke tripped and knocked Cain to the floor. He then climbed on top of him blocking his arm to keep him from drawing his sword and held the dagger from his inventory with his free hand.

“Haaaah!”

Zeke stabbed Cain’s neck with his dagger which was open to Hersion.

“Kwaaak!”

Cain tried to activate Hersion but the armor did not work as he intended because Zeke had already deployed his magic reflection.

Zeke stabbed Cain in the back of the neck repeatedly with his dagger.

“Ku kuluk!”

Blood gushed from Cain’s mouth.

Soon he died with both eyes open.

[Eliminated enemies eroded by magic.]

[300 Karma Points will be awarded as compensation.]

Only then did Zeke finally get down from Cain’s body.

“Haa. Haa.”

The heart that was stabbed by the sword had been somewhat repaired but the wound on his stomach from the aura was only superficially patched up and the inside was still a mess.

If I hadn’t put the potion in the shortcut slot I might have died the moment I was hit by Cain’s skill.

Zeke tried to get up unsteadily but his body wouldn’t listen.

And at that moment.

[Excessive skill use has caused fatigue to exceed a dangerous level.]

[For safety the administrator’s consciousness is blocked.]

Zig was startled when he saw the warning message window.

‘Oh no!’

I couldn’t lose consciousness in the middle of enemy territory.

I tried to open the portal in a hurry but my consciousness was already hazy so I couldn’t even properly check the opened window.

At that moment Cain appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

Immediately he shouted the skill name with all his might.

“voracity!”

Before his consciousness was cut off a shadow stretched out from his body and absorbed Cain’s body.

[I gorged on the corrupted mines that had been eroded by magic.]

[The consumed stamina and mental power mana replenishes.]

[By absorbing the bloodline ability of the gluttonous mine the active skill Static Electricity (C-grade) changes into Lightning (A-grade).]

Consciousness which had almost been lost slowly returned.

Zeke took a deep breath and sat up.

“Damn I thought I was going to die.”

When I hastily absorbed Cain’s body not only did I regain consciousness but my skills also changed.

‘The skill level went up?’

Zig tried using the lightning skill that changed from static electricity.

Phage phage phage!

Although it wasn’t as strong as what Cain had used earlier a lightning strike occurred that was strong enough to envelop the entire weapon.

‘If I absorb not only the demons but also the demons that have been eroded by magic through gluttony can I obtain the bloodline ability?’

After taking the sword Zeke quickly tried to get out of here.

But then I noticed something lying on the spot where Cain died.

“What is this?”

It seemed to be a belly plate covering the chest and stomach.

As Zeke picked up the armor the message window popped up again.

[Acquired ???’s armor.]

[Would you like to register as a user of the armor?]

‘???’s armor? Why isn’t the name showing up?’

Zig chose to register first.

Then a strange pattern appeared on the armor.

At the same time the armor disintegrated with a cracking sound and attached itself to Zig’s body.

[You have been registered as a user of the armor.]

[You can decide the open form of the armor according to the user’s will.]

[Of the 28 great magic circles engraved on the armor only 3 magics are currently active.]

As Zeke opened his armor the back plate transformed into a full-plate armor that covered his entire body just like Cain had been wearing earlier.

“Wow this is no joke.”

Even though it was full body armor it wasn’t heavy at all and so there was no inconvenience in moving around.

Zeke changed his armor back into its original pectoral form.

“If I write it as is I think the Empire will catch on so I’ll have to fix it and write it. For now let’s escape first…”

Right now the priority was to get out of here before the other knights arrived.

Zeke turned on the map and found a way out of the dungeon.

He quickly left the cave where the camp was and tried to escape Pamela Cartel’s territory.

But then I felt something strange coming from the front.

‘This smell….’

It smelled like dried blood and sewage.

Zeke hesitated for a moment then approached cautiously thinking that there must be something important there.

Then I inspected the scene secretly hidden inside the dungeon.

‘These fucking kids.’

Seeing the scene Zeke bit his molars and clenched his fists.

This was not an ancient site.

It was the site of the Roman Empire’s human experimentation.
