A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 548



Episode 548

Kugugugugugu―

Something burst out with a strong vibration.

Kwakwakwakwang!

As the tightly shut door broke apart a mass of flesh was seen writhing and squirming inside.

Grrrrrrrrrr!

The fleshy masses that made strange noises continued to swell some stretching like rubber bands and snatching the knights in front of them.

“Kkaaaaaaah!”

The knights who were sucked into the flesh screamed.

Because it was being snatched so quickly avoiding it was impossible.

The surviving knights behind raised their Auror Blades and swung them at the crawling fleshy masses.

Choaaaak―

However the part that touched the Aura Blade was only briefly cut and it quickly reattached itself and returned to its original form.

The knights shouted in despair.

“Wizards!

But despite the knights’ cries the magicians did not show themselves.

Eventually all the knights there were soon swallowed up by the flesh.

Grrrrrrr!

The fleshy creature began to writhe and search for more food making strange noises.

Boris and his group were hiding behind the scenes and watching all this happen.

Shadia said looking at Boris.

“Captain I wonder if it’s okay to wake up someone who looks so dangerous.”

At those words Boris gestured in the opposite direction of where the lump of flesh had gone.

“If all the buried bombs explode that one will be buried too. If not… the boss will take care of it.”

Boris had infinite trust in Zeke believing that he would take care of those who couldn’t handle it.

Shadia also nodded convinced by his words.

“Well if you are my lord….”

Before he knew it Zeke had gained the absolute trust of his subordinates.

Boris released the extremely dangerous Abyss test subjects into the labyrinth and moved on to continue his work elsewhere.

On the other side of where Boris had moved screams and screams echoed incessantly.

* * *

Kugugugugugu!

A golden aura swept through the space.

“Ugh!”

Asmodeus clenched his teeth against the waves of aura that contained powerful purifying power and ran towards the priest.

But then a bolt of light struck Asmodeus.

Pfft pfft pfft!

Asmodeus hurriedly raised his bone spear and blocked the lightning.

“Get out of my way!”

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

It was a hasty block but fortunately for Asmodee the powerful lightning that shot out from the bone spear countered the lightning.

Kookookookook!

The wave of light receded and the hidden stage came into view.

Zigg holding Ascalon and the priest floating in the air were glaring at each other.

Zeke glared at the priest with fierce eyes.

‘I definitely felt like I was being stabbed.’

While Asmodee and Arataso were engaged in a decisive battle Zeke was hiding with the power of spiritualization and waiting for an opportunity to strike the priest.

And at the crucial moment he appeared and struck the priest with a blow.

Although I couldn’t figure out all the powers the priest possessed I thought that if it was the power of purification it would be possible to neutralize the powers of magic and external species so it would be able to deal a great blow.

And his calculated blow had clearly struck the priest squarely. Yet he did not appear to have been hit particularly hard.

The priest floating in the air looked at Zeke and said.

“You’re foolish Zeke Draker. The more you struggle here not on your own stage the more your pain will deepen.”

At those words Zeke raised his sword and said.

“I’ll let you decide that for yourself.”

Then the priest’s eyes hidden behind the hood flashed red.

“Zeke Draker I already know that what you desire is the soul of an arrogant savior.”

At the same time an aura containing the power of the constellations emanated from his body.

“Perhaps you fell for the devil’s trick. Didn’t you know that the owner of the unbreakable contract is the one with the most dangerous tongue in the demon world?”

“The tongues of all demons are dangerous. Not only the demons but you too who made a contract with them to take over the world. It’s ridiculous for you to say something like that Harvey West.”

The priest lifted his spirits without saying anything in response to Zeke’s words.

Kookookookookook!

And in response to the power of the aura emanating from the priest’s body Asmodeus’s fighting spirit in front of him grew stronger.

A red light flowed from Asmodee’s eyes made of ruby.

“The protection of my lord has descended upon me! I will offer the glory of victory to my lord!”

As his power grew stronger the White Bone Corps that had been waiting also began to move properly with a light flowing from their eyes.

Seeing this Zeke spoke to Asmodee.

“Asmodee Captain of the 2nd Morning Star Battalion. The soul of the master you served is held captive by that warlock. Can you still call yourself a loyal knight?”

However Asmodeus intoxicated by the power of the constellation did not hear Zeke’s words.

He shouted in an excited mad voice.

“I will cut off the enemy’s head! I will tear out his heart and offer it to my lord!”

Along with his shout the knights of the White Bone Corps also shouted.

They began to move forward carrying bone swords and shields.

Seeing this Zeke activated offense mode and summoned the Golem Knights.

Chuck! Chuck! Chuck!

Golem knights appeared before Aratasso and Neviloth holding shields and swords.

Zeke said to Aratasso and Neviloth.

“Hold on tight so they don’t come this way.”

At his command Aratasso raised his lance again and Neviloth summoned his magic.

The belligerent Skeletons charged towards the Golem Knights first.

Kwakwakwakwa!

The White Bone Corps swinging their bone swords with great force clearly demonstrated the Morning Star’s power.

However the Golem Knights were also summoned creatures that boasted tremendous defensive power.

The Golem Knights were not defeated by the Morning Star and raised their shields to block their attacks.

“Chahaaaaat!”

Arataso who had recovered some of his strength swung his lancer and attacked the White Bone Corps.

Nevilleos summoned the undead again firing magic from behind.

Asmodee grew even more enraged and aroused his spirit as he watched Baekgoldae and Zeke’s summoned creatures clash.

Then he looked at Zig standing in front of him and raised his bone spear while shouting.

“You insignificant human! You have committed an unforgivable sin against the great Morning Star. This sin cannot be repaid even with the destruction of your soul!”

Zig raised Ascalon and responded to Asmodee’s words.

“For a demon your tongue is long. Is that what the arrogant savior taught you?”

Asmodeus grew more enraged by Zeke’s provocation and stepped forward with his bone spear in hand.

“You insolent human. I will cut off your limbs and then annihilate your soul in one breath!”

He stepped forward swinging his bone spear over his head along with his words.

Then Zeke raised his sword and spoke to Asmodee.

“You have quite a lack of imagination. That won’t be enough to destroy me.”

Zeke continued to provoke Asmodee and infused Ascalon with power.

A brilliant light of power flowed from his sword.

At that moment Asmodeus charged forward with a bone spear in hand.

Kwakwakwakwa!

As if he had become one with the bone spear Asmodee ran towards Zeke at an invisible speed.

Phew!

The bone spear charged through the air with such force that it seemed as if it was going to tear Zeke’s body apart in one fell swoop.

Zeke swung Ascalon unleashing a field of golden power towards the calmly charging bone spear.

Boom!

Asmodeus could feel the powerful force contained in Zeke’s sword through the bone spear.

Asmodeus was taken aback by the power that shook his entire body and took a step back.

‘How can a human have this kind of power?’

Asmodeus was not pushed back even when fighting against the Touma tribe who tore apart the giant demons of the demon world with their bare hands.

It was hard to believe that a human could naturally repel an attack that contained his own power.

However it was not something that could be pushed back just because it had unexpected power. Asmodeus concentrated his strength again and swung his spear.

“Die die!”

Kwaaaaang!

The spear fell on Zig’s head with a sound like a bomb exploding.

This time Zeke unleashed his golden field and charged his sword with gravity to strike upward.

Kkwadduk!

I heard bones cracking.

Asmodeus was pushed back in the head-on collision. He almost lost his spear due to the strong blow he received in the moment.

‘Ugh!’

Zeke didn’t miss that opportunity.

He charged straight forward and unleashed his Dragon Slash technique at Asmodeus.

Kookookookookook!

The simple yet powerful swordsmanship of the Dragon Slaughter technique struck Asmodeus in the side.

Kkwadduk!

Asmodeus’ bone armor shattered in one blow.

“Kaaaah!”

Asmodeus screamed and turned to the side as a huge shock pierced through his entire body.

“Whew whoosh!”

Asmodeus readjusted his grip on the spear and took a deep breath.

Now his body was overflowing with the power of the constellations.

Despite being able to demonstrate the power of his prime when he had brought the mighty men of the Demon World to their knees and struck fear into the Bone Corps he was unable to land a proper blow on Zeke.

As if to prove it Zeke who was confronting him was standing in that position with his sword in hand.

Asmodeus was confused as he watched Zeke whose breathing had not changed at all.

‘Is that guy really human?’

Numerous questions appeared and disappeared in his head.

Then the priest behind him spoke to Asmodeus.

“Do not doubt the power that lies within you Asmodee. The power of the great and proud Savior is with you.”

At the priest’s words Asmodeus’s eyes became hazy for a moment before returning to normal.

He muttered holding the bone spear again.

“Glory to the lord. Victory to the lord.”

Seeing Asmodee like that Zeke realized that the priest had played some trick on him.

‘Did you brainwash them? How could you summon a demon… No it’s strange in itself to summon a being that was already extinct.’

The priest had strengthened Asmodeus with the power of the arrogant savior.

If Zeke were to defeat Asmodeus and break his power manifestation the priest would also suffer a strong blow in return.

Zeke planned to capture and kill the priest during that gap.

‘First catch the bastard.’

As soon as Zeke figured out his plan he raised his sword and used his whirlwind to move. In an instant the distance between them narrowed.

As soon as he got closer Zeke swung his sword upward from below.

Hooooooooooo!

Asmodeus muttered and unconsciously swung his spear to block Zeke’s sword.

Kkwadduk!

But Zeke’s black sword which he had planned and decided to execute was powerful. In one blow the bone spear shattered into pieces.

Even though his own bone spear which was stronger than any metal in the demon world was shattered Asmodeus did not react much and reached out again to create a bone spear.

“Victory to the lord. Victory.”

Asmodeus still not in his right mind instinctively took up the jockeying stance while holding the bone spear.

And when Asmodeus faced the powerful enemy called Zikra his body naturally brought out the spear technique he had learned long ago.

He took a rather defensive stance unlike before and carefully raised his spear.

Then suddenly he used all his strength to extend his spear towards Zig.

Kwaaaaang!

The spear split the air with a crackling sound and hurtled towards Zigg.

Zeke calmly defended himself until the very end watching Asmodee’s attack which had become much more powerful than before end.

Quaching!

As the sword and spear clashed shockwaves flew in all directions.

Zeke blocked Asmodee’s spear and immediately counterattacked.

Phew!

Then Asmodeus’ bone armor grew in an instant and created a shield made of bone.

He used the shield he had made to block Zeke’s sword but it was unable to withstand the power contained in the sword and shattered into pieces.

“Ugh!”

The shield blocked the sword strike but the shockwave permeated my entire body.

Zeke continued to attack Asmodee without stopping.

Asmodee’s movements unable to keep up with the counterattack began to gradually slow down.

Pachin!

Then Asmodeus who had retreated from Zeke’s attack lowered his spear for a moment perhaps out of exhaustion.

He glared at Zeke with glowing red eyes.

“Victory to my lord to my lord…”

That was when.

The priest’s voice dug into Asmodeus’s exhausted mind.

[Asmodee.]

But in Asmodeus’s ears the voice of the priest overlapped with the voice of the arrogant savior.

He shouted with hazy eyes.

“My lord! My lord!”

The priest’s voice echoed in Asmodeus’ mind.

[If you wish to give me victory accept new power.]

Asmodeus’s eyes wavered at the priest’s words.

“A new power… is this something that my lord has bestowed upon me?”

[Yes my most loyal knight. I grant you new strength so make sure you bring victory.]

Asmodeus nodded to the priest’s words and said.

“I will accept it! And I will surely bring victory!”

The moment he declared that he would accept the power a different energy rose from Asmodee’s body than before.

Kookookookookook!

Zeke frowned as he saw the energy flowing out of Asmodee’s body.

‘That power…’

The power that the priest gave him was none other than the power of an external servant.
