A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 53



Episode 53

Squeak! Squeak!

The ferry made an eerie noise.

Zeke Simon and twelve of his men held their breath as they approached the port in the favela area.

Perhaps in preparation for an all-out war with the McCain Cartel members of the organization were patrolling the city with weapons.

Zeke peered around through the darkness with his dragon’s eyes.

Then he brought up the map and docked the ship in an area where there were no patrol personnel.

‘This way.’

At Zeke’s signal Simon and his men scattered and hid in the darkness.

Soon a member of the favela gang patrolling the beach came strolling over.

The man put down the crossbow he was holding pulled down his pants and started to urinate.

“Ugh… Peeing feels so good!”

Then Zeke approached him from behind drew his dagger and quickly slit the neck of the member of the organization.

When the bodies of the dead members of the organization were thrown under the breakwater Simon’s men caught them stuffed rocks into their clothes and carefully threw them into the sea so as not to make a sound.

It felt natural as if we had been breathing together for a long time.

After checking the surroundings Zeke sent a signal for Simon and his men to come up to the shore.

Simon asked Zeke hiding behind the piles of cargo on the harbor side.

“How do you plan on approaching the Favela Cartel’s stronghold? Their troops are stationed all over the city.”

Then Zeke said while putting on his mask.

“The area that the favela occupies was under the influence of the Holy Empire for a long time in the past. That means that the underground waterway that the Holy Empire considers most important is built there.”

“You’re going to go to the base through the underground waterways? That doesn’t make sense. How are you going to find your way through the intricately intertwined waterways like a maze?”

Zeke chuckled.

“There is a way to do everything.”

The map’s route guidance function made it possible to move along even the most complex paths in the shortest possible distance.

I didn’t intend to explain it to him though.

Since Simon didn’t have a way anyway he didn’t say anything.

Zeke found a sewer on the harbor side and led his men into it.

The favelas still use sewer systems built during the Holy Empire.

The sewers which were no different from ancient relics were filled with sewage everywhere and smelled terrible.

However Simon and his men were veterans who had been around the border for a long time so no one was upset or distressed to this extent.

Zeke followed the map’s instructions to the Favela Cartel’s stronghold.

After walking along the canal for a few hours we arrived at the sewer system connected to our base.

‘They’ve put a lot of people in front.’

During the showdown with Cain I realized that no knights above the red knight level were marked on the map so I had to be even more cautious of my surroundings.

Zeke gave orders to Simon and his men by signal to plant explosives in various locations in the favela cartel strongholds.

Zeke decides to split up with Simon and his men to assassinate key figures in the Favela Cartel and deliver a warning to the McCain Cartel.

He came up out of the sewer and into the garbage disposal area.

‘This reminds me of the old days.’

The assassin had to infiltrate through the places most people hated to go.

As a result sewers and garbage dumps were among Zig’s favorite infiltration sites.

He took off the thin robe he was wearing and took out a purification scroll to wipe away the stench.

Zeke drawing his dagger slowly entered the mansion.

His target was Mateo the number two man in the favela cartel.

Bastian the boss of the favela cartel was currently staying on an island in the South Sea.

If we caught Mateo and gave him a warning instead of catching him Bastian would be poisoned and would definitely go into all-out war with the McCain Cartel.

‘Don Juan must have thought that this mission would fail.’

Don Juan may have viewed Zeke’s raid as a suicide mission and a warning to the favela cartels.

But Zeke really planned to infiltrate the base assassinate the number two man plant a bomb and bring the base down.

If that happened it was clear that the situation would escalate into something that even Don Juan could not control.

Zeke tried to take advantage of that gap.

WHEEK!

Zeke made his way up to Mateo stealthily killing the members of the organization wandering the hallways with his dagger.

‘There are fewer people inside than I thought.’

Now that we know that the favela cartel and the empire are joining forces it cannot be ruled out that the knights are deployed.

But the cartel’s hitmen and the knights of the empire were nowhere to be seen only armed patrols were roaming around.

Zeke felt something strange.

‘Something is strange.’

He turned on the map and looked inside.

The number of people listed was not visible.

He walked through the corridor opened the door and entered the mansion guarded against any interference.

In the center was a large banquet hall and a long staircase leading upward.

That was when.

Suddenly the lights turned on and the people who had been hiding came rushing out.

‘how?’

Zeke looked around at the people surrounding him.

It included not only the cartel’s hitmen but also the knights and wizards of the Empire.

‘Did you use hiding?’

If you use a stealth spell your presence will disappear.

But I didn’t know that erasing a presence with magic wouldn’t cause it to be marked on the map.

Then one of the knights of the empire stepped forward and gave orders to the others.

“Don’t kill them capture them alive.”

With those words the knights of the empire rushed towards Zeke.

Zeke grabbed the knight running in front and stabbed him in the neck with his dagger.

“Cough!”

Then he snatched the sword the knight was holding.

Zeke retreated as if he was retreating and slashed the cartel members guarding him with his sword.

Crunch!

“Shoot! Shoot!”

Cartel members fired arrows at Zeke.

But since Zeke was moving much faster the arrows ended up stuck in the wall and floor.

Zeke took out his dagger and swung it at the hitmen positioned everywhere.

Using the power of the Elemental Sword the dagger imbued with the power of the wind was stabbed into the hitmen’s vital points at incredible speed.

“Kwaaak!”

Cartel members were panicked and fired their crossbows indiscriminately some of the bullets flying randomly hit others by mistake.

The knight of the empire shouted.

“Wizard! Tie that guy’s feet up quickly!”

Only then did the wizards cast their spells in a fluster.

In an instant the floor of the banquet hall began to ripple and turn into a swamp.

‘You can’t catch me like this.’

Zeke threw the daggers he was holding onto the swampy ground stepped on them and ran towards the knights of the Empire.

It was a trick that used a whirlwind.

As Zeke ran towards them the panicked knights hurriedly took up a defensive stance.

But it was already too late.

puck!

As Zeke fell backwards and pushed the knights away they lost their balance and fell falling into the swampy ground.

“Eww!”

The wizards quickly canceled their spells as they saw the knights struggling in the swamp.

Zeke clicked his tongue as he looked at the imperial knights and wizards who were barely breathing.

‘After sending the punks away you’re just trying to impress the cartel.’

Then the imperial knight who had been giving orders stepped forward.

Woohoo!

Still there was one decent guy who managed to create a pale aura blade.

Zeke charged at the Imperial Knight with his sword drawn.

bang!

The sword of Zeke imbued with golden power struck the sword of the Imperial Knight with its tremendous weight.

“Ugh!”

Even if you made an Auror Blade it was useless if you couldn’t wield it properly.

Zeke struck the knight’s sword with his sword filled with golden power.

Before he knew it the knight was pushed back his hand holding his sword trembling.

“Gasp! Gasp!”

Zeke didn’t stop and just cut off the knight’s leg through his armor.

Crunch!

“Eww!”

The knight with his thigh cut off rolled on the floor screaming.

Zeke immediately raised his sword and cut off the knight’s head.

The Hitmen and Imperial Knights surrounding him retreated hesitantly as they saw the Blue Knight die in vain.

Zeke used the majesty of the dragon to instill even greater fear in them.

Among the weak-willed knights and members of the organization there were some who wet their pants under the pressure of Zeke.

“Those who want to die come those who want to live get out now!”

At Zeke’s rebuke about half of the men threw down their weapons and fled.

Meanwhile the remaining men approached Zeke slowly holding their weapons.

It was heartbreaking to see him approaching with his body completely frozen.

At that moment Zig leapt into the air with his sword in hand.

Whoosh!

He climbed up to the railing on this floor and killed the wizards above first.

“Kwaaak!”

If you neglect it and use magic at a good time even the most powerful Zikra could be hit unexpectedly.

If someone like Cain were to appear again he too could be in danger.

After slaughtering the wizards first the knights soon came up to the second floor on their own.

‘What idiots.’

The Zeeks were grateful that they had come to the narrow terrain that was disadvantageous to them.

He stabbed each and every one of them in the heart with a sword like skewering a stick.

“Eww!”

Zeke pushed the knight who was groaning while stabbed with a sword off the second floor railing.

Before long the banquet hall was filled with the corpses of dozens of knights and wizard hitmen.

Zeke wiped the blood off his sword and took it out.

“What the hell are those Imperial bastards doing in the South? I can’t figure it out.”

That was when.

Someone in a black robe was standing on the veranda opposite Zeke.

‘Who is it?’

The map didn’t even register with his senses.

A suspicious figure with her face covered by a robe opened her mouth to Zeke.

“A single loach is interfering with a great undertaking.”

Zeke stood guard his sword pointed at the suspicious wizard.

“What are you?”

Then the black figure held out the black gem ring on his finger.

At that moment black smoke poured out from the ring.

Shushu shushush!

Black smoke dispersed into the bodies of the dead people who filled the banquet hall.

At the same time those who had died rose again.

‘A black magician?’

Zeke quickly examined his opponent’s robe.

However the Scorpion Clan’s emblem or rings were not visible.

Meanwhile dozens of knights and hitman wizards screamed.

‘Not even the Scorpion Clan? Even the Scorpion Clan there aren’t many who can create this many zombies at once.’

Not all necromancers were members of the Scorpion Clan but most high-ranking warlocks were.

As Zeke questioned the identity of his opponent the black figure that had raised the lion shouted at the zombies.

“Catch him. I will personally pluck out the soul of the author who interfered with the great undertaking and make him tell the truth.”

From the moment I saw him casually spouting out language that seemed like it would only be used in classical plays I knew something was wrong.

“Kuaaaah!”

The knights who had become zombies charged at Zeke with their swords drawn.

“Get out you zombie bastards!”

Zeke swung Bahamut.

puck!

The heads of the zombies hit by the sword exploded and shattered.

[You have killed a zombie knight infected with magic.]

[You earn 10 Karma Points.]

‘Huh?’

I unexpectedly earned karma points.

Zeke looked around with shining eyes.

All the zombies screaming at him seemed like points.

“Good!”

He jumped from the second floor in excitement and swung his sword.

Zombies hit by the Auror Blade were torn to pieces and scattered everywhere.

“Kwaaah!”

But soon as black smoke enveloped the fallen zombie knights their limbs began to reattach themselves and the zombies rose again and attacked.

Zeke was so excited that he kept killing zombies.

Even if he died and came back to life Zeke would immediately create flesh and bones so at some point there were no more corpses to revive.

The black figure was just watching Zigg’s appearance from the railing.

After killing all the zombies Zeke shouted at the suspicious robe.

“Is this the end? Is there nothing more?”

He looked at Zeke as he had always done then slowly stepped back.

The wizard said nothing more and disappeared into the black fog.

Zeke flinched but there was nothing he could do.

It was a shame that we couldn’t catch the suspicious wizard.

‘If I see you again I’ll catch you and make you a point.’

Zeke quickly shook off his regret put away his sword and went up the central staircase.

And then we arrived at Mateo’s office.

At that moment a dagger emerged from the darkness and was aimed at Zeke’s neck.

As if he had expected it Zeke opened his mouth with a calm expression and looked to the side.

“Simon.”
