A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 536



Episode 536

Alicia said as she looked at Zeke standing in front of her.

“Friend of Zeke Draker Himonas! I will clean up those useless bastards for you.”

Although it was said with a bright smile the content was extremely gruesome.

Then Zeke looked at Alicia and spoke in the Northern Continental language.

“I know it may not be to your liking but their power is still an important force at present.”

At Zeke’s words Alicia made a discontented expression and lowered her sword.

Then he looked around at the audience and opened his mouth.

“Hey you Central Continent idiots. Listen carefully.”

thud!

The floor of the Great Hall shook as she put down the heavy Nang’a Sword.

Alicia shouted in a booming voice.

“Stop talking nonsense behind my back and if you want to get hurt go hurt yourself! Evidence? Why do you need that? It’s surprising that you can say such nonsense when you see tens of thousands of monsters flying out of the sky!”

She spoke pointing to the images still floating in the air then turned and glared at the chief wizard of Delphos.

“I have specially remembered your face. Don’t beg for help when the monsters come swarming you later.”

Alicia with a lively expression sat down on one side of the battlefield with the knights of Himonas as if she had finished talking.

Then he would clench his jaw and glare at others with sharp eyes creating an atmosphere of fear.

The nobles of the Central Continent who felt burdened by Alicia’s gaze coughed in vain and tried to avoid her gaze.

But thanks to Alicia the mood in Daejeon changed again.

“Well it doesn’t matter whether the Demon King descends or not. The monster wave itself is a big problem.”

“If we don’t form a coalition and build a defensive line the problem could get worse.”

In conclusion they judged that forming a coalition force would be more beneficial to them than trying to contain Drake.

In fact what moved their hearts was Nirvana and Ishtar’s decision to participate.

“And with this unprecedented situation where all the Transcendent Clans of the Continent have gathered together there’s bound to be something going on.”

“Even if Draker has some kind of plot Ishtar and Nirvana will keep it in check so it’ll be okay.”

Even those who had been suspicious of Drake and opposed him eventually changed their minds and decided to join the formation of the coalition.

When the situation was sorted out Carly created a petition and recorded the names of those who participated.

Delphos which had been the most opposed also expressed its intention to participate perhaps judging that it could not escape the situation.

With that the Continental Alliance was formed once again following the invasion of the Murkan Empire twenty-five years ago.

This time it was the largest coalition force ever with the participation of major kingdoms and families from across the continent including the Three Great Transcendent Clans.

The world made a big deal out of it saying that it was on a larger scale than the coalition forces formed a thousand years ago to fight the evil dragon Bahamut.

A few days after the Continental Congress ended new news arrived.

There was urgent news that a horde of death made up of demons monsters and undead was advancing north.

* * *

“Haa haa…..”

Daria Calvi the Knight of the Inmagong took a deep breath and put away her longbow.

No matter how many arrows were shot the enemies showed no signs of decreasing.

No rather as time passed the number of enemies only increased.

Grr …

The dead soldiers were transformed into undead by the power of darkness and returned as enemies.

Even the Imperial Legions of Rom who had been fighting fiercely gradually lost their will to fight upon seeing this sight.

Then Leo’s scream was heard from behind.

“Everyone! Wake up!”

Prince Leo himself went to the front lines and personally commanded.

But then the Liches appeared in the air.

A group of liches formed into groups of three or five and bombarded the walls with magic from the air.

Kwakwakwakwang!

“Kwaaaaak!”

Knights and soldiers struck by Lich’s magic fell down screaming.

The wounded were gasping for breath and dying.

Leo seeing this jumped into the air with his sword in hand enraged.

“Haaaah!”

Electricity shot out from Leo’s body and his sword flashed towards the Liches.

Choaaaak―

One of the Lich hordes was struck by Leo’s sword and turned to ash disappearing into thin air.

But these attacks were meaningless to Richie.

Because as long as the Life Vessel was alive it could be revived at any time by recharging its magic power.

Leo landed on the wall and was breathing heavily as if he was exhausted.

“Hoo! Hoo!”

Then the sound of a horn was heard from afar.

Phew!

The advancing legions of the dead began to retreat at the sound.

I looked up at the sky and saw that it was starting to light up as if dawn was just around the corner.

The Legion of Death has mostly advanced at night as it is barely able to exert its power during daylight hours.

That doesn’t mean you can stop fighting during the day.

During the day the Breaker mercenary group hired by Jupiter attacked with loud drums and gongs making it impossible to let down your guard.

As this situation continued for over a week most of the knights and soldiers currently guarding the fortress were half-asleep and had not been able to sleep properly.

Prince Leo was also suffering from extreme fatigue.

He gritted his teeth as he looked beyond the fortress walls.

‘If this place is breached they will advance straight to Rom.’

The fortress of Termo the final gateway to the capital city of Rome had to be defended at all costs.

At that moment Daria approached Prince Leo.

“Commander.”

Leo’s current position was commander as he was in overall command of the Termo fortress.

She spoke in a voice that clearly showed her exhaustion.

“If things continue like this it will be difficult to get through today.”

The fact that loyal Daria said this meant that the situation was desperate.

Prince Leo bit his lips at Daria’s words.

The legion of death that doesn’t die even if you kill them.

It was impossible to deal with the undead with just this force from the start.

Daria continued calmly.

“There is still time before the enemies arrive. Commander you can escape first during this gap.”

Prince Leo was destined to become the emperor of the empire.

Although he was the one who insisted on going to the front lines of battle he was actually the one who needed to be protected the most.

Leo shook his head at Daria’s words.

“No I will continue to conduct here.”

“Commander… If you stay here only death awaits you.”

Leo didn’t respond to those words either.

Daria then realized.

‘The prince has already prepared himself for death.’

Leo had already promised that if he were to die in battle he would leave the Rom Empire to Karus who was guarding Rom.

After the death of the Mad Emperor he took care of the affairs of Rome with Karus and realized one thing.

‘It is not me but Karus who is fit to be the emperor.’

He may have been a great knight or general but he was not the type to become an emperor.

Rather contrary to expectations Karus showed a sense for running the country and was able to overcome difficult situations wisely.

When Leo saw this and heard the news that the Legion of Death was advancing on the fortress of Termo he volunteered to lead the army himself.

The purpose was to boost the morale of the soldiers but more than anything he had a strong desire to do something he was good at.

Karus would protect him from behind so he wanted to give it his all on the battlefield like he always wanted to.

Daria who understood Leo’s determination knelt on one knee toward him.

“Legion Commander Daria Calvi. I will share your fate Commander.”

At this moment she too was prepared to die once again.

No matter what happened we had to hold this gate and buy time for Rome to come up with countermeasures against them.

Then a huge drum sound was heard from outside the castle walls.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A sound that has been heard every day for several days.

As the Legion of Death retreats the Mercenary Corps appears beating their drums noisily.

Every time they hear that sound the soldiers on the wall become frustrated.

Because I had to go back to battle without even being able to rest properly.

Leo slowly got up from his seat.

“Commander Daria pull the wounded soldiers back and divide those who can move into three groups to block the enemy in sequence. Make sure each group gets at least an hour of sleep.”

“Understood Commander.”

Prince Leo who had actually said that was the one who had not slept a wink for several days.

But he had no time to relax.

The mercenary band arrived with a huge siege weapon accompanied by the loud sound of drums.

Phew!

The catapult hurled black chunks of iron at the walls.

Leo jumped into the air and slashed at the lump of metal with his sword.

“Haaaah!”

His sword strike collided with the flying chunk of metal causing an explosion.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

It was not an ordinary shell but a bomb with gunpowder filled inside.

“Ugh!”

Leo caught in the explosion spins in the air and lands on the wall.

An unbelievable sight unfolded before Leo’s eyes as he barely managed to open his body.

‘That’s…?’

A huge army of monsters swarming in black.

This was because monsters were advancing in formation behind the mercenary group towards the Termo fortress.

Leo’s eyes were filled with despair.

Even if the mercenary group alone was enough to stop them there was no way they could stop a large army of monsters like that.

The expressions of the other knights and soldiers looking at this were similar.

Despair and frustration.

They could not help but sense their death here.

“Euuuuu! Euaaaak!”

Some soldiers driven mad by extreme fatigue and fear cried out and threw themselves down the wall.

Kuuuung!

The soldier’s head was blown off and his body was shattered after being hit by a boulder lying beneath the wall lying on the dirt floor.

From this point on soldiers began to climb up the wall one by one.

Then like a doll whose strings had snapped she began to fall through the air.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of soldiers falling to their deaths one after another resonated eerily.

Daria shouted when she saw this.

“Everyone stand back from the walls! Knights reorganize your ranks so that your men do not fall!”

Her voice dispersed without meaning.

Among those climbing the walls were not only soldiers but also knights.

They too had lost all hope of surviving and chose death.

thud!

In an instant hundreds of knights and soldiers gave their lives.

Leo had a vision of countless spirits crawling up to his feet and grabbing him.

‘You killed me.’

‘You led us all to death.’

Leo clenched his teeth amid the whispers of the terrible spirits.

‘Yes I will gladly go down to hell with you. But not yet.’

The will to kill as many enemies as possible before dying moved Leo’s tired body.

He took out the potion he had been saving from his bosom drank it in one gulp and drew his sword.

Wooooow!

He summoned all the strength he had left in his body and raised his Auror Blade.

This was done to raise the morale of the soldiers even a little.

“Haaaaaah!”

He shouted at the army of monsters rushing towards him.

Then he jumped straight into the air and slashed at them with his sword.

A sword strike with all one’s might.

But then it happened.

Kwakwakwakwang!

A huge explosion occurred where Leo’s sword strike landed.

Keeeeeeek!

The monsters that were running at the front were engulfed in the explosion and turned to pieces disappearing without a trace.

Leo was even more surprised when he slashed with his sword at the unexpected destructive power.

‘what?’

Then something flew up from the air.

Hooooooooooo!

Something of unknown origin clad in black armor flew into the air and hurled a blunt-tipped spear at the monsters.

Kwakwakwakwang!

An explosion occurred where the window touched.

The formation of the advancing monster army began to fall apart due to a sudden explosion.

Daria shouted at the surprised Leo.

“Commander! Our troops have arrived!”

Leo was surprised by Daria’s words.

‘Allies? Could it be that Karus sent them?’

However Leo couldn’t help but look perplexed because the allies sent by Karus were equipped with armor and weapons he had never seen before.

Meanwhile one of the flock that was flying in the air landed on Prince Leo.

thud!

A man wearing heavy armor slowly approached him.

He took off his helmet revealing his true identity. He was a black-feathered warrior of the Zan tribe.

The leader of the Join tribe and the commander of the Western Alliance.

The song of the crouching flames appeared in the fortress of Termo.
