A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 570
by Hectopascal(헥토파스칼 )
Episode 570
Castro came to his senses as he felt the cold touch of the dagger against his neck.
‘If you do something wrong you will die here.’
In a normal battlefield situation you wouldn’t kill a commander without reason.
It was common courtesy to take them prisoner and then demand a ransom.
But now was not the time for that.
This was because Prince Leo had volunteered to become the successor and with the Roman Empire collapsing Castro’s original family the Pollock family did not have the capacity to exert much influence.
Moreover since it was clearly revealed that Castro had joined hands with a warlock to summon monsters and beasts the Allied Forces had ample justification to kill him.
In fact if this raider were to cut off his own head now the war itself would be over.
Castro whose heart was in a hurry said to Boris.
“Are you a member of Draker? Dark Stage? How about talking to me for a moment? I don’t know what Dark Stage’s conditions are but if you spare my life I promise to double your wealth and honor.”
Because it was an urgent situation sweet talk came out naturally.
Naturally Boris was not swayed by Castro’s words at all.
He held the dagger closer to his neck and opened his mouth.
“Where is the enemy king? We all know that you are a puppet.”
Castro’s face twisted for a moment at Boris’s words and he shouted.
“I am the commander of this castle!”
“Okay I understand. So where are the Red King and the Knights of Dracula Commander?”
The spy agency’s members were searching for the Knights of Dracula within the Castle of Jupiter but they had already disappeared.
Castro gritted his teeth at Boris’s words.
“…They were kicked out of Jupiter Castle a long time ago. They are country bumpkins who don’t know honor! They’re not even worthy of being knights…!”
As Boris watched Castro shouting excitedly he realized that he was not lying.
‘The Red King and the Knights of Dracula are somewhere else. Could it be that they are attacking the Allied Forces from behind…?’
Boris stopped thinking about it thinking it was just an unconfirmed guess. In any case since he had confirmed that the enemy king was not in Jupiter Castle he decided to open the main gate first.
If the Allied Forces took over the enemy’s main base Castle Jupiter the enemy king and the Knights of Dracula outside would be isolated. It was unclear what they were planning but Boris thought it was the best he could do.
He took out the crystal ball while holding Castro and gave orders to his men.

“We have secured Castro Pollock. Proceed with assassinating key personnel and securing the gates.”
Castro who was listening to Boris’ instructions from the side trembled in anger.
“These damn seeds…..”
But then it happened.
“Cough!”
Castro who was being held by Boris began to tremble and had a seizure.
‘what?’
At first Boris thought Castro was acting.
But soon I noticed that the energy emanating from him was unusual.
Boris stepped back releasing Castro and raised his Auror striking him straight in the neck.
Choaaaak!
Castro’s neck split and he fell to the floor.
But that wasn’t the end of it. Tentacle-like things began to protrude from the cut section of the neck.
Ss …
The protruding tentacle grew longer and stuck to the cross-section of the neck that had fallen to the floor.
Grr …
A scream came out of Castro’s severed neck.
Boris was shocked to see Castro suddenly turn into a monster but he tried to keep his wits about him and shouted to his group members.
“The Warlock is manipulating Castro! Find the one hiding there!”
After hearing Boris’s words Zion turned around and spread his telekinesis in all directions.
Then the wax-skinned warlock who had been lying on the floor pretending to be dead got up and pulled out a dagger with a strange pattern on it.
The evil energy flowing from the dagger was controlling Castro who had turned into a monster.
Krrrrrrrrrr―
Castro opened his mouth wide and grew tentacles all over his body.
Boris shouted as he drew his sword and cut the tentacles with his blade.
“Adol! Get out of here!”
Although it was as good as losing Castro it seemed better to step down since the intended purpose had been achieved.
Adol dug a hole in the floor of the stone chamber to create an escape route.
The black magician who saw this tried to manipulate Castro to catch the fleeing spies.
“Catch them!”
At that command Castro’s two arms stretched out and rushed to wrap themselves around Boris’s body.
Then Luther who had been fighting the warlocks flew forward and cut off Castro’s arm with his sword.
Choaaa …
Luther swung his sword with aura while creating flames with magic.
Whoosh whoosh!
The warlocks’ vision was obscured by a sudden surge of flames.
During that time the spy group entered the escape route.

Luther helped the men escape but then shouted at Boris who was still guarding them.
“Chief Boris! Welcome!”
But Boris was looking at something with a surprised expression on his face.
‘That’s?’
Castro’s severed tentacles began to writhe and crawl towards the black box lying on the floor.
The power flowing from the sinister legacy of Emperor Nero was calling out to the tentacles.
At the call the tentacles dug into the cracks in the chest.
Ddddddddddd—
After a while the box started shaking like crazy.
Then suddenly something exploded inside him and Boris had to strain his senses to grasp the situation without even trying to run away.
Kugugugugugugu―
The black magician who was controlling Castro from behind was also bewildered when the entity inside the box that had absorbed the tentacles broke the seal and emerged without taking any action.
As both the warlock and Boris watched tensely the thing inside the chest formed a cocoon shape and stretched out tentacles in all directions.
Boris’s face hardened when he saw this.
‘It looks similar to the piece of flesh I saw in Siemens’ Labyrinth.’
It wasn’t exactly the same but it was equally ominous.
The tentacles that stretched out from the black cocoon engulfed not only the monster Castro but also the warlocks.
“What the hell!”
The black magician also seemed to have not thought that there was something like this inside the chest and was flustered so he used magic to try to control it somehow.
But the black goch did not listen at all and simply stretched out its tentacles to pull the corpses of the dead warlocks into its body and swallow them.
Then he swallowed Castro who had become a tentacle monster in one bite.
Kururururuk!
A strange reaction occurred in the black gourd that swallowed Castro.
Kookookookookook!
In Kochi a vibration began to resonate as if a giant heart was beating.
The warlock reached out to Boris who was watching from his tentacles.
“Save me!”
Boris suddenly came to his senses and shouted at the warlock.
“What is that monster’s identity! Why has Castro suddenly changed?”
Then the warlock shivered and cried out at the creepy sensation of the tentacles digging into his body.
“Oh the seed of chaos! What you planted in Castro was the seed of chaos! But this monster… the legacy of Emperor Nero… I never expected it…!”
In an instant the warlock’s face shrank like a mummy. The tentacles wrapped around his body rippled as if they were absorbing the sap.
Kugugugugugu―
Kochi extended his tentacles towards Boris again.
Boris saw this clenched his teeth took out a magic bomb from his bosom and threw it at Kochi.
“You fucking monster!”
He threw the bomb and jumped into the escape route on the floor.
As soon as Adol closed the entrance to the escape route a huge explosion was heard from above.
Kwakwakwakwakwang!
Boris who came down last took out his crystal ball and spoke to his subordinates in an urgent voice.
“Notice to all members! Get out of the castle immediately! Quickly!”

Zeke said as he looked at the enemy king.
“Enemy King why do I sense the aura of a dragon from you?”
At his words the enemy king remained motionless still holding his axe.
Seeing the enemy king who was just glaring at him without moving Zeke took a step closer.
“Are you not planning on saying anything?”
Zeke’s eyes turned into dragon’s eyes and dragon’s energy emanated from his body.
As the dragon’s power surged the valley known as the Dragon’s Grave began to react.
Kookookookookook!
A gust of wind rose from the canyon causing fog to envelop Zeke and the Red King.
The knights of the Order of Dracula rushed to protect the enemy king but the fog separated them from the enemy king and the Knights of Dracula.
Kookookookookook!
In the midst of the swirling gust of fog Zeke and the Red King faced each other.
Zeke said as he looked at the enemy king.
“The weapons you are wearing are all made from dragon bones.”
Even one common Hersion was a precious artifact that could buy a castle in a small fiefdom.
But if Hersion itself was made from dragon bones its price would be unacceptable.
After hearing Zeke’s words the enemy king raised his axe again.
Woohoo!
The Red King’s axe was once again covered in red energy.
Phage phage phage!
A threatening red lightning spread out in all directions but Zeke shook his head when he saw it.
“No matter how I look at it I don’t feel like you have the stature of a black knight.”
Zeke continued speaking while looking at the red lightning that the Red King had created.
“If my guess is correct… you are not the real enemy king.”
As if resisting Zeke’s words the enemy king kicked the ground and jumped into the air.
Pah pah pah pah!
A red lightning bolt pierced through the fog gusts and struck Zigg.
Zeke swung Levatein deflecting the lightning that was flying towards him.
Kwaaaaang!
Zeke’s sword pressure not only knocked the enemy king back but also pushed him back while he was floating in the air.
The enemy king picked up his axe again and tried to attack Zeke fiercely but Zeke was no longer visible on the ground.
“Are you looking for me?”
Zeke appeared behind the enemy king and swung his sword at him.
Kwakwakwakwa!
A powerful sword strike landed squarely on the enemy king’s back.
Kwakwakwang!
The enemy king was unable to withstand the strong impact and fell to the ground.
Kookookookook!
In the midst of the gust of fog the enemy king barely managed to raise himself and reached out for his far-off axe.
The axe moved of its own accord and returned into the enemy king’s grasp.
He took up his weapon again and gathered his strength.
Then this time a red light flowed out from the Herzion that the enemy king was wearing.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk―
Geometric patterns appeared on the surface of Hersion and energy flowed into the axe held by the enemy king.
Wooooow!
The enemy king swung his axe and struck a powerful blow at Zigg who was floating in the air.
Kwakwakwakwa!
The red energy transformed into the shape of a dragon and rushed at Zigg as if it was going to devour him.
Seeing this Zeke took up Levatein and assumed the stance of the Dragon Slayer.
Woohoo!
As he activated the Black Sword Skill Black Dragon Expulsion a black dragon burst out of the sword and rushed towards the red dragon created by the enemy king.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!
The red dragon and the black dragon met in the air and bit each other.
However the clash was only for a moment as the red dragon created by the enemy king was wrapped around Zeke’s black dragon and was eaten in vain.
Kaaaaaaah!
The black dragon which had swallowed the red dragon and grown bigger charged at the enemy king with an axe.
The red energy rose more strongly from the enemy king’s Hersion.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk―
As the red energies gathered to form a defensive barrier the black dragon charged towards the enemy king’s defensive barrier.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!
The black dragon and the shield collided sending out a powerful shockwave that spread in all directions.
The power of the canyon that controlled the dragon’s power was also unable to overcome the black dragon’s energy and was counteracted to the point where the gust of wind died down.
Tsk tsk tsk―
The red shield that had been blocking the black dragon from its tremendous power began to crack.
The enemy king tried to hold out with an axe but it was no use.
After a while the shield was completely broken.
Kkwuddudduk!
The black dragon wrapped itself around the enemy king’s body and bit him viciously.
Kwakwakwakwa!
Soon the place where the enemy king was was completely scorched and engulfed in a black gust of wind.
Zeke looked up into the air at the black gust of wind that enveloped the enemy king.
And when the gust of wind died down Zig slowly descended and stood upright on the ground.
In the meantime the fog that had gathered around had also cleared away.
As the fog blocking the way cleared the Knights of Dracula came into view.
They tried to rush straight at Zeke with their shields raised.
Zeke who had confirmed them unleashed his words of bravery on the Knights of Dracula.
“Park (搏).”
The power of the spirit mixed with the dragon’s words caught the bodies of the knights of the Order of Dracula.
The Dracula knights were as if their feet were glued to the ground and they could not move.
As the gust of wind completely died down Zeke approached the enemy king who lay collapsed in the middle of the scorched canyon.
The enemy king was barely holding on holding an axe.
Hersion who had been protecting his body was torn to pieces and its parts were lying on the floor.
“Ugh.”
The moment the enemy king tried to get up the helmet covering his face broke and fell to the floor.
At the same time the red hair tied inside the helmet came loose and flowed down.
A woman with an intelligent appearance raised her head through her red hair and glared at Zeke.
Zeke nodded at her.
“I was right. You are not the enemy king.”
He continued speaking slowly looking at the fake enemy king.
“Why did you get involved in this war? Vlad II. Bathory Basarab.”
