A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 569



Episode 569

Kugugugugugugu!

There was an explosion so huge that it sent up a column of water.

The spies who quickly dealt with the demons and went up the waterway returned to the surface.

They had already sneaked through Jupiter Castle’s sewer treatment facility.

The spies who had taken off their diving suits moved in unison and checked to see if there were any guards around.

Dmitry looked at them moving as if they were accustomed to it without any separate orders his mouth wide open and a bewildered expression on his face.

‘What kind of organization did the Knights of Salvation create?’

Boris picked up the magic signal from behind the sewage treatment plant and attempted to secure communication with the crystal ball.

He nodded immediately after hearing the signal coming from the crystal ball.

Then he conveyed his message to the members all at once using magic.

[The infiltration order has been approved from above. Move to your positions.]

At his instructions the members scattered to various places.

Boris watched the movements of the members and then called Dmitry.

“Where is Castro?”

Dmitry came to his senses and looked at Boris.

“I’d probably be holed up in my office right now. The secret weapon and the assault failed so it would be best to stay holed up in the castle for now.”

Boris nodded after hearing Dmitry’s words.

“Good. Group 1 including Sion Adol follow me. Serina and Ayran will guard this place and secure the escape route.”

Dmitry who had been watching the situation said to Boris.

“Should I follow you too?”

Boris shook his head at those words.

“We haven’t built up that level of trust yet so let’s consider it after this mission is over.”

With those words Boris nodded to Serena.

Serena who had the ability to manipulate metal immediately understood the meaning and created metal handcuffs for Dmitry’s arms.

Dmitry who opened his eyes wide in confusion for a moment soon sat down in a corner as if he was used to being treated as a prisoner and spoke.

“I hope you succeed in your mission. My head is on the line. You better be careful Castro and his black magicians have been stealing Nero’s legacy from Rom. You never know what kind of crazy weapon they might unleash.”

Boris nodded after hearing Dmitry’s words and gave a short order to his men.

“Move.”

* * *

bang!

Castro was found in his office banging his head on the desk.

There were broken liquor bottles strewn all around.

“Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!”

Castro losing his senses threw the objects on his desk with bloodshot eyes.

He took a deep breath and slumped back into his chair.

“Those damn Allied bastards…..”

Even though they brought out Emperor Nero’s secret weapon to pressure the Allied Forces they ended up not being able to inflict much damage.

The Red King and the Knights of Dracula were nowhere to be seen.

The mercenary corps and legion riders who had lost their minds and were sent out were blocked by a solid defensive wall and were counterattacked before they could properly charge only increasing the number of casualties.

He picked up the bottle of alcohol in front of him again with an expression that clearly showed his impatience.

He roughly opened the bottle of alcohol downed it in one gulp and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.

“Hoo hoo.”

As he was trying to force his head to roll not knowing what to do a wax doll-like warlock appeared behind Castro.

He approached Castro and said.

“The atmosphere in the castle is not good. Discontent is erupting among the mercenaries and the Breaker mercenary leader is requesting a meeting with the legion commander.”

There were even rumors going around that Castro had used his warlocks to cast a spell on his mercenaries turning them into berserkers.

If we were not careful the mercenaries could have rebelled internally.

Castro slammed the table and shouted.

“You lowly bastards dare! The leader of the mercenary corps wants to meet me the commander of the legion? Ha! You should just do your job properly after receiving the money. You lowly bastards….”

Castro’s eyes were dripping with life and he was acting fierce.

It felt like I was going to go out and cut off the head of the mercenary captain at any moment.

But even Castro who had lost his mind knew that if he did something like that the castle of Jupiter would collapse from within.

The black magician said looking at Castro like that.

“I have something to say to the commander.”

At the warlock’s words Castro took a deep breath and slowly raised his head.

“What do you have to say?”

“There is one way to turn this situation around in one fell swoop.”

Castro’s eyes lit up at the warlock’s words.

He jumped up from his seat and approached the warlock shouting.

“A way to turn things around in one breath! What is that!”

The warlock looked at Castro and said.

“I discovered a sealed forbidden mystery among the relics of Emperor Nero that were moved to the Castle of Jupiter.”

Castro’s eyes widened at the warlock’s words.

“What is the forbidden mystery!”

“I don’t know for sure. But if it was sealed by the Mad Emperor then it must mean something fatally dangerous.”

Castro wiggled his eyebrows at the warlock’s words.

He sat back down in his chair resting his hand on his temple lost in thought.

Then he turned his head towards the warlock.

“If you don’t know what’s in it you don’t know if you can control it.”

“If we release it on the Allied Forces there is no need for us to control it.”

Castro’s eyes widened slightly at the warlock’s words then he slowly nodded.

Besides there really wasn’t any other way at this point anyway.

I was worried that the disgruntled mercenaries would be too much to just sit here and wait for the Allied forces to collapse.

It wasn’t hard to have the knights cut off the head of the mercenary captain but there was no telling what the enraged mercenaries might do. They could set fire to the castle open the gates wide and escape or they could even join the Allied Forces.

He pressed his temples and then spoke to the warlock.

“Good. It’s the forbidden mystery or something. Let’s use that to attack the Allied forces from behind.”

After making his decision Castro went down to the basement of Jupiter Castle with the black magician.

The castle’s underground storage areas contained various materials as well as the heirlooms of Emperor Nero brought from the Roman palace.

In particular among the Emperor’s legacies there were many artifacts related to black magic that he was obsessed with but most of them were just stored away for now because it was not known what they were used for.

Castro who had come down to the underground storage went with the black magician to the innermost part where the relics of Emperor Nero were kept.

Inside other warlocks were already examining the artifacts.

A waxy-faced warlock entered with Castro and gestured to the others.

Then the black magicians had giant monsters carry something and bring it in front of Castro.

thud!

What lay before Castro was a sizable black chest.

There was a pattern engraved on the outer surface that I had never seen before and for some reason it gave off an eerie feeling.

Castro said looking at the black box in front of him.

“Is this the forbidden mystery left behind by the Emperor?”

He slowly reached out towards the box.

Then the warlock grabbed Castro’s wrist with his ice-cold hands.

Then he shook his head and said.

“There is no need to approach a mystery whose identity cannot be known.”

Only then did Castro step back in surprise.

I didn’t know what was inside but it could be an important key that would change the course of this battlefield. The amount of power contained in it must have been enormous. I almost got swept away by that power.

He calmed his startled heart and spoke to the warlock.

“How do you plan on taking this to the Allied Forces?”

“Pretend to send a messenger and load the box with it and send it into the Allied camp. If you awaken the mystery inside it from within the barrier great chaos will occur so then you can lead the legions and launch a full-scale attack.”

Castro nodded after hearing the warlock’s words.

If everything went according to plan it seemed like it would be enough to shake up the Allied forces.

‘If we succeed we can turn the attention of the mercenary corps to them. We can quell the discontent that is brewing within them.’

Castro said to the warlock.

“I will prepare the messenger. We don’t have much time so let’s proceed as quickly as possible. Bring the coffin up.”

The warlocks ordered the monsters to carry the chest back.

Castro went up the stairs to the basement with his warlocks.

It was at that time that things had gone up to a certain extent.

Srrrrrrrrrr—

The solid stairs suddenly turned into sand and my ankles sank underneath.

“What is this?”

The warlocks sensed something ominous and tried to summon their magic.

But for a moment the flow of magical power was disrupted and the magic they had prepared was not formed properly.

“Ugh!”

As he was bewildered by the unexpected situation a sword imbued with aura suddenly emerged from the shadows and stabbed the warlock in the back.

Phew!

The one who defeated the black magician in an instant was none other than the swordsman Luther Gemben.

Luther Gemben who was known by the nickname Mage Slayer in his previous life was the secret weapon prepared by Boris.

Luther swung his auror-charged sword with one hand and adjusted his magical power with the other neutralizing the warlocks’ spells.

The warlocks were flustered and unable to respond properly to the sudden situation and the warlock with waxy skin who was watching them suddenly opened his mouth.

Kaaaah!

Black worms poured out of his mouth.

Pavababababak!

Black bugs rushed towards Luther and at that moment Zion appeared from the darkness and created a defensive barrier with her telekinesis.

Doo doo doo doo doo!

The bugs were blocked by Zion’s shield and couldn’t move so Zion adjusted the shield and gathered the bugs in one place as if wrapping them in a blanket.

Then he closed the barrier and wrapped the bugs in it as if they were inside a transparent ball.

The bugs inside were struggling to escape but they were unable to overcome Zion’s psychic powers.

As Zion clenched his hands the ball shrank in size and crushed the bugs.

Doo doo doo doo doo!

The completely crushed bugs fell to the floor.

While Zion was blocking the bugs Luther leapt forward and instantly decapitated the warlocks behind him.

Contrary to his unattractive appearance he clearly demonstrated his formidable skills.

Choaaaah!

The black magicians were unable to properly fight against the Seven-Segment Magic Sutra he created and they were beheaded and killed.

Castro who was behind him shouted in confusion at the wax-skinned warlock next to him.

“Come on! Come on stop them!”

However because of Luther’s Seven-Segment Magic Sutra the flow of magical power was not smooth so even he an apostle had difficulty performing magic properly.

Finally the warlock took out a dagger from his bosom and cut his own palm.

Black blood dripped and pooled on the floor.

And after a while the pool of blood the warlock had created began to ripple and something crawled out from inside.

Something that looked like a black snake or tentacles moved slowly and climbed up the bodies of the monsters holding the chests.

Then its long body went straight into my ear hole.

Soon an unusual reaction occurred in the two monsters holding the box.

Krrrrrrrrrr―

As the monsters’ bodies began to swell greatly their skin color began to change to a dark gray.

Kwaaaaah!

Suddenly the monsters let out a scream threw down the chest they were holding and ran towards Luther who was attacking the warlock.

Adol tried to grab onto the sandy floor and hold on but before he could the monsters kicked off the floor at a terrifying speed and jumped up onto the stairs.

Kwaaaaah!

A fist full of momentum and strength attempted to crush Luther.

At that moment Zion who was behind unleashed his psychic powers on the monsters.

Kiiiiiing―

Although Zion succeeded in stopping the monsters’ movements with his supernatural powers it was only for a moment and soon the monsters forcibly removed their telekinesis with physical force.

Quaddudduk—

Luther immediately stepped back but the monsters who had been freed from their psychic powers were unable to overcome their inertia and continued to swing their fists toward the ground.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

The monsters were unable to overcome their own strength and fell down as the stairs themselves collapsed.

As they tried to get up again dozens of sandy hands rose up and grabbed their limbs dragging them into the quicksand.

Kaaaak!

The monsters tried to shake their bodies and escape from the sand swamp but they couldn’t get out easily.

While avoiding the monsters Luther’s Seven-Segment Magic Sutra stopped and thanks to that the black magicians were barely able to use their magic but in that short period of time most of the magicians died.

Castro who was watching from below clenched his teeth.

‘Fuck. I have to get out of here somehow…’

But then it happened.

“If you move you die.”

Suddenly someone was pointing a dagger at Castro’s neck.

Boris took advantage of his confusion to catch up with him.
