A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 564



Episode 564

Only when she started to scream and curse did the nobles start to stagger and retreat at a faster pace.

But then it happened.

Krrrrrrrr―

The cries of demons could be heard from ahead.

The black magicians of the Abyss fired shells and took advantage of the confusion to secretly release their evil spirits into the Allied camp.

A demonic creature with the skin of a crocodile and the skin of a tiger was slowly approaching revealing its sharp teeth and claws.

Knights of the Steel Knights and the Silver Knights that Kali had attached to them rushed beside Helen.

“Commander-in-Chief!”

“We’ll block this place! Go to the rear!”

The knights of the Steel Knights and the knights of the Silver Knights swung their swords at the charging demons.

Since they were all knights of the Draker family they were skilled enough to surpass the Purple Knights.

Choaaaak!

The sword loaded with aura flew towards the demons.

However simply using a sword imbued with aura was not enough to pierce through the strong outer shell of the demons.

Krrrr!

The demons swung their sharp claws ferociously deflecting the knights’ sword strikes with their outer shells.

First the knights of the Steel Knights equipped with strong defensive equipment blocked the attacks of the demons from the front.

And this time the blue-class knights among Draker’s knights created Auror Blades and swung their swords.

Choaaa …

Only when it touched the Aura Blade could the demon’s outer shell tear and strike.

Kwaaaaah!

The demon struck by the Aura Blade let out a roar and released strong magical energy.

At the same time many sharp thorns sprouted from the backs of the demons.

Kaaaaaaah!

As the knights flinched the thorns on the backs of the demons shot out in all directions.

Pavababababak!

Thorns sharper and more powerful than arrows were embedded in the knights’ bodies.

“Ugh!”

I avoided the critical points by striking the thorns with my sword but the thorns penetrated deep into the Drake uniform all over my arms and legs.

The tip of the thorn was poisoned so the wounded area turned black.

Helen who was about to retreat to the rear turned around again when she saw that the knights were unable to move due to being hit by thorns.

“Commander-in-Chief!”

Helen raised her Dragon Buster again leaving behind the voices of the other knights.

Wooooow!

Helen clad in steel armor raised her Dragon Buster high and swung her sword at the demons.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!

A powerful sword strike filled with the will of steel flew towards the demons attacking the knights.

Kkwadduk!

The demons that were hit by Helen’s steel sword were crushed to pieces with their hard outer shells and fell to the floor.

During that time Helen shouted to the knights.

“Get up and step back!”

The knights were able to fall back thanks to Helen’s opening.

But the poison contained in the devil’s thorns was not an ordinary poison.

Soon one of the knights collapsed bleeding black blood from his nose and mouth apparently severely poisoned.

Helen realized that the knights were in critical condition and gripped the Dragon Buster tightly again.

‘We must hold out until they fall back.’

But then it happened.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A demon several times larger than the ones that had rushed toward the main camp appeared.

The demon which looked like a combination of a tiger and a crocodile was threatening enough to overwhelm Drake’s knights.

But Helen did not back down an inch even when faced with a giant demon.

Krrrrrrrrrr―

The demon moved its heavy body and rushed straight towards Helen.

Kwakwakwang!

A huge tail fell down on Helen’s head.

Helen swung her Dragon Buster at the tail of the beast.

Kwakwakwang!

Helen’s sword strike imbued with steel energy deflected the demon’s tail.

At the same time she moved forward and swung her sword repeatedly at the demon.

Quadddddddd—

Helen’s steel blade which struck like a giant sledgehammer landed squarely on the demon’s side.

Kwakwakwakwang!

The demon was unable to overcome the shock and rolled to the side causing a cloud of dust to rise up everywhere obscuring the view.

It was when Helen picked up her sword again and prepared for the demon’s attack.

Srrrrrrrrrr—

Surprisingly the giant demon moved very stealthily hiding in a cloud of dust that did not match its size.

Helen who had missed the movement of the demon for a moment realized the fact and was startled.

‘Aiming at the knights?’

The devil who had passed by Helen was targeting the knights who had been hit by thorns.

Kaaaaaaah!

The knights moving to the rear were startled by the sudden appearance of a giant demon.

‘this!’

But then a ray of light fell.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

A bolt of light struck the head of the demon who was rushing toward the knights.

Kwaaaaah!

The loud noise that the demon made echoed throughout the battlefield.

At the same time a warm golden glow enveloped the bodies of the injured knights.

“What is this?”

Not only was the poison being purified but the wounds were also healing quickly.

The knights of the Silver Knights and the knights of the Steel Knights knew very well who was the protagonist who had created this miracle.

“Knight of Salvation!”

“Sir Zeke!”

Kookookookookook!

A shadowy figure emerged piercing through the dust.

Kiiiiiing―

A sound like space was splitting and cracking came from the sword Zeke was holding.

He swung his sword at them glaring not only at the giant demon but also at the demons behind it.

Suu …

Although it was just a single blow the demons’ bodies were cut horizontally as if a piece of paper was being cut and the severed parts fell to the floor.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk―

As everyone gaped at the incredible sight Zeke’s shadow rose and engulfed all the dead demons swallowing them up.

The other group of demons that had been advancing from behind suddenly stopped in confusion when the leader suddenly disappeared then slowly stepped back.

It was impossible for the demons who had only the instinct for destruction left to retreat of their own accord.

The demons also felt that Zig’s energy was unusual.

Before he knew it Zeke was holding his sword and walking towards Helen who was panting for breath and he put his hand on her shoulder.

“Sister Helen.”

At that moment golden waves seeped into her body healing her wounds and completely restoring her lost stamina and aura.

Only then was Helen able to catch her breath.

Zeke said to Helen.

“I will take care of this place. You Sister go to the rear with the knights and command the Allied Forces.”

The commander-in-chief of the Central Continent Allied Forces was Helen not Zeke.

So it was Helen who had to play a role in calming down this confusing situation.

Helen also knew this fact so she hesitated for a moment at Zeke’s words but soon nodded.

“…I’ll come right away as soon as I finish arranging the display.”

“Don’t worry about this place Sister.”

In an instant golem knights and shadow spirits emerged from Zig’s shadow along with the words.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk―

In that instant a large army following Zeke was created.

Helen opened her eyes wide when she saw this.

It was Zeke who was younger than her but had already gone so far away that he was beyond her reach. Helen who had been looking at him strangely soon nodded.

“Then please.”

She led the recovered knights and ran to the rear.

After making sure Helen was safely out of the way Zeke spoke to his summons with his golden dragon eyes glowing.

“Clean everything up.”

* * *

As the demons attacked the Allied forces’ positions the Knights of Dracula were waiting hidden from view not far from them.

Among the Knights of Dracul the Red King wearing a red herzion sat cross-legged on a rock.

Soon a message from the warlocks reached his ears.

[Zeke Draker appears.]

After the Abyss headquarters collapsed and the priest went missing the black magicians were left to figure out how to survive.

And since there was no room for other forces at the moment it was reasonable to stick with Jupiter for now.

However Jupiter’s commander was Castro Pollock and the survival-conscious warlocks had great concerns about whether the racist man would be able to fully accept them.

So what they chose was not Castro Polok but Count Vlad the Red.

Although he was synonymous with fear Count Vlad was also a thoroughgoing practical man and rationalist.

When the black magicians of the Abyss approached the Red King the first thing he asked was what they could do.

Warlocks could perform dirty but effective magic that regular wizards could not.

The Red King confirmed this and decided to gather the black magicians of the Abyss.

Because I thought it might be necessary for my plans.

From that day on the black magicians stayed by Castro Pollock’s side and reported his every move to Count Vlad.

With that information Count Vlad was able to figure out who Castro was and devise the most effective plan.

In his opinion the most dangerous element in a siege was none other than an incompetent commander.

In fact Castro Pollock was also in charge of one of the thirteen zodiac signs so he would not normally be a person who would receive such harsh criticism.

However the problem was that because of the limitations of living only as a noble person he was worse off than usual in this fierce battlefield.

If the Count himself had been a full-fledged commander there would have been no need to go through all this trouble but since Castro had taken possession of Jupiter anyway he had no choice but to go through the troublesome process.

There was a way to openly attack Castro Pollock and take his place but Jupiter Castle was already in a state of lack of justification. Attacking Castro Pollock in this state would have been a bad move so Count Vlad chose a method that would provide more justification.

The siege was ultimately a battle of wits.

He carefully maneuvered through the battlefield embroidering numbers as each and every tiny element could add up to a major outcome.

Count Vlad had one goal in this war.

‘Knight of Salvation. Zeke Draker.’

If we couldn’t catch him it would be useless to defend the castle.

Count Vlad also knew that Zeke Drake’s abilities far surpassed those of an ordinary knight.

The count who had been sitting cross-legged and gathering his thoughts slowly got up.

He gestured towards the Knights of Dracula.

Now that we had crouched down and set a trap to catch Zeke Draker it was time to start hunting in earnest.

* * *

Kkwadduk!

Zeke used his shadow to snap the necks of the approaching demons and absorb them.

‘I think it’s been sorted out to some extent.’

Zeke continued to spread his wings to find where the enemy king would come from.

Castro Pollock who pretended to be a gentleman but was actually a small-minded man was not the man to lead a siege of this scale.

In the end it was clear that Castro would be eaten by the enemy king.

In the first place it was a huge mistake to accept something that was beyond one’s capacity into the Jupiter Castle.

In the meantime Zeke’s summoned creatures hunted down all the demons and recaptured the Allied Forces’ main base.

He spoke with courage as he looked at the broken fences.

“Build a wall.”

Kookookookookook!

As the verb worked the ground rose where the fence had been.

Massive earthen walls created a thicker and more solid defensive wall than the previous wooden palisades.

A moat had been dug underneath making it difficult even for swift soldiers to approach.

Zeke turned his head and looked at the castle of Jupiter in the distance.

‘We must conquer that castle to end this war.’

The current Zeke who had attained divinity was able to destroy the walls of Jupiter Castle with just one sword strike.

But the reason Zeke couldn’t move rashly was because of Karma’s sanctions.

As a rebel against fate Zeke was free from the sanctions of karma but the repulsion against him still existed.

Unlike other high tables it is not like you will be dragged to the Peach Blossom Land by going beyond the sanctions but there is a possibility that the law of causality will be distorted allowing beings from the demon world or the heavenly world to descend into the phenomenal world.

‘Things get more complicated when they actually descend into the phenomenal world.’

Since he had not yet fully developed his divinity to the point where he could deal with them Zeke had to be careful when exerting his full power.

As the shattered Allied positions were almost rebuilt something caught Zeke’s spirit.

‘What is this?’

The reason he was surprised was because the energy he felt from afar was none other than the energy of a ‘dragon.’

Zeke who had never seen a living dragon except for Hades was surprised when he suddenly felt the dragon’s aura.

He ordered his summoned creatures to stand guard then lifted himself up and flew towards the place where the dragon’s aura was emanating.

Kwakwakwakwa!

The place where the dragon’s energy was felt was a valley not far from the Allied forces’ camp.

The very fact that the dragon’s energy was flowing out from within the narrow and deep valley gave the feeling that it was a blatant trap.

‘Even if it’s a trap if there’s a living dragon we have to find it.’

As the regulator of the phenomenal world the dragon was a being of great significance in itself.

Zig followed the dragon’s energy flowing out with shining eyes into the valley.
