A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 596
by Hectopascal(헥토파스칼 )
Episode 596
“Long time no see Captain of the Right Wing.”
Zeke spoke in a low voice toward the crystal ball.
Souma’s voice flowed out from the crystal ball.
―“Why did Sir Zik come all this way?”
He reacted sharply to Souma’s sly voice.
“Let’s stop this useless exploration of each other.”
“Zeke continued in a thorny voice.
“Arthur Draker where is he?”
When Zeke struck first Souma paused for a moment and then responded.
―“The previous owner would have already passed away…”
Dismissed!
Zeke did not listen to Souma any longer and destroyed the crystal ball.
Since there was no need to use the crystal ball any more right away anyway he acted decisively as a sort of warning.
Moreover Souma the leader of the right-wing unit in charge of intelligence on the Black Stage was by no means an easy target.
At this point without knowing what Arthur Draker’s purpose was Zeke could also be swayed by his words if he made a mistake.
‘The best way in that case is to block it in advance.’
It was also an instant method that Zeke had learned in his previous life.
A man with a three-inch tongue will have his head cut off before he can roll his tongue.
He looked at the ships on the black stage in front of him his sharp eyes shining and gave orders to his summoned creatures.
“Prepare for battle. We will destroy them all.”
Richmond and Bain nodded nervously at Zeke’s words.
After he summoned Nahuel he took something out of his inventory.
Saaaa …
An ice elemental stone that emits powerful cold air has appeared.
He looked towards the black stage and smiled coolly.

“Soma I will make you regret opposing me.”
Zeke took the stone and immediately performed a polymorph.
Tsk tsk tsk―
Zeke transformed into an elf summoned a water spirit while holding an elemental stone.
Kwakwakwakwa!
Zig floated the stone towards the water spirit.
Kugugugugugu!
The coldness of the elemental stone combined with the power of the water spirit and began to emit a stronger coldness in all directions.
Zig applied his unique power Infinite Breakthrough to this power.
At that moment the cold air amplified and spread throughout the sea.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!
The sea touched by the cold froze over just like the waves were crashing.
The strong cold air expanded its range and surprisingly reached the place where the Black Stage’s ship was.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk―
Bane and Richmond gaped at the sight of the sea frozen solid from the ship Zeke was on to the entrance of the stormy island.
In particular Bane who used ice magic was unable to come to his senses due to Zig’s power that froze the entire sea.
“No how could this be…”
Bane who barely managed to omit the words ‘stupid power’ realized anew just how ridiculously powerful Zeke was.
While the two Richies were shocked Zeke smiled with satisfaction at the sight of the frozen sea.
Then he said to Richmond and Bain.
“What are you doing? There is a new battleground and the enemy is there.”
The two Arch Lichs who had been dumbfounded by the absurd sight only then came to their senses.
They created summoned creatures from the thick ice lands that lay over the sea.
Krrrrrrrr!
Hit! Hit! Hit!
A horde of ice beasts and armored skeletons advanced forward in formation.
At the same time Zeke summoned shadow spirits.
The Guraub unit and the Cayman unit rose up and charged towards the Black Stage’s ships.
Doo doo doo doo doo!
As the summoned creatures were dashing through the ice land with great momentum something began crawling out of the ship of the black stage that had been trapped in the ice.
Kiiiiiiiiiii―
An alien beast that looked like a cross between a tiger and a scorpion emerged from the icy ground roaring.
Kaaaah!
Starting with him a number of other strange creatures disembarked from the Black Stage’s ship ranging from something resembling a giant locust to something that looked like a mix between a giant snake and a spider.
The external demons lined up in a wide line as if they were moving on command waiting for the summoned creatures on Zeke’s side to pounce.
Kugugugugugugu!
First skeletons and ice beasts rushed towards them.

Kaaaah!
The external demons were as powerful as they were terrifying.
With one swing of the scorpion’s tail all the skeletons were turned to bone dust and scattered like corn and the ice beasts were also instantly turned to ice dust and scattered.
Keeeeeeek!
The insectoid demons spat out sticky venom and clashed with the shark dragon force led by Gurav.
Surprisingly despite Gurav’s powerful force the external demons were not pushed back but rather stood their ground and attacked the other Shark Dragons behind them.
At that time Cayman who was running at the very back led the knight unit and attacked the external beasts facing off against the Gurav unit from the side.
Quaddudduk—
The outer shells of the external demons were destroyed by the attack of the Cayman Unit making a loud noise.
But as if that wasn’t the end tentacles with sharp teeth crawled out from within the broken outer shell.
Kiaaaaah!
As the tentacles wrapped around the shadow spirits to absorb their power a red aura poured out from the air.
Woooo …
Caligula who had been summoned without realizing it stopped the tentacles’ movements with the power of his bloodshot eyes.
Next to him Ashvin stood with his four wings spread out holding a black spear.
Ashwin hurled a black spear at the external demons.
Kwakwakwakwa!
The external demons with their bodies impaled on black spears screamed and oozed sticky fluid.
The wound healed on its own and tentacles grew from the severed area but its movements were much slower than before.
While the summoned creatures were blocking the external demons Zeke secretly headed towards the Black Stage ship.
The ships on the Black Stage were trapped in the ice and couldn’t move even if they wanted to so Zeke infiltrated them.
Tsk tsk tsk―
Emerging on the deck of the flagship Zeke realized that there was no sign of life on board.
‘It’s not here?’
It was clear that he was here since Souma had sent him a direct message so he must have been hiding somewhere.
Zeke first wanted to catch the hidden Souma and find out information about Arthur Draker.
He slowly went below deck.
Squeak-
The stairs creaked and the wood twisted with every step he took.
The narrow corridor of the cabin was filled with darkness and as expected there was no sign of life.
Zeke looked around with his eyes wide open trying to find traces of Souma.
Just then I felt something approaching from the end of the hallway.
Krrrrrr!
It was staggering and making strange groans.
‘There was clearly no sign of life…’
Zik looked at the one approaching him with a grin.
Surprisingly one of the black stage members was staggering towards me and his condition was not good.
“Krrrrrrr!”
Half of the Black Stage member’s face was transformed into a hideous figure and soon tentacles like sea cucumbers began to sprout from his mouth.
The dark stage crew who had been moving continuously suddenly discovered Zeke and reached out his hand.
At the same time tentacles shot out from his hands and tried to wrap themselves around Zig.
Kwakwakwakwa!
Zeke raised his shadow and blocked the tentacles of the Black Stage Agent.
Then he unleashed a bolt of lightning filled with the energy of light.
Pfft pfft pfft!
The black stage member who was directly hit by the lightning of light trembled and then fell to the floor.
Zig frowned as he looked at the black stage member who was imbued with the aura of an outsider.
‘Could it be that they transplanted external demons into the members of the Black Stage?’
The external demons were beings that were different from the normal demons.
Even the Akashic Code did not properly contain information about this alien species.
Krrrrrr!
The black stage member who was hit by Zeke’s lightning slowly got up.
Then tentacles even more hideous than before stretched out from all over its body.
As the Black Stage member stretched out both arms thick tree-trunk-like tentacles flew towards Zigg like snakes revealing sharp teeth.
Since the cabin was narrow Zeke did not take out his sword but instead created a dagger in the shape of a shadow.
Choaaaak!
Zeke held a dagger made of shadows and cut down all the approaching tentacles.
But no matter how much you cut them off the tentacles keep growing and regenerating endlessly.
‘This won’t work.’
Zeke held the dagger in one hand cut the tentacle then reached out towards the cut and emitted a ray of purifying light.
Woohoo!
A golden glow extended from Zeke’s hand and touched the cross-section of the tentacle.
Then the tentacles began to melt away.
Keeeeeeek!
Unlike when he simply cut off the tentacles the black stage member who had become a demon screamed in pain.
Zeke put his shadow in and created a golden glow in both hands.
Woohoo!
Zig who had assumed the infinite chain pose ran straight towards the black stage member.
Kwakwakwakwa!
The flying tentacles melted and subsided as they reached Zeke’s capital.
Zig threw his fist straight into the air and put all his strength into the punch.
Kwakwakwang!
A fist filled with the energy of destruction struck the body of the Black Stage member creating a huge hole in one blow.
At the same time the power of purification was embedded throughout the Black Stage member’s body preventing regeneration and causing his body to completely melt away.
Kkaaaaaaah!
When the Dark Stage Agent imbued with the power of an external species was no longer able to attack Zeke tried to read his memories but surprisingly no traces remained.
‘Did someone intentionally erase the data?’
But then it happened.
Zeke’s intuition sensed something unusual.
He raised his head momentarily and looked at the ceiling.
Zeke’s eyes grew wide.
‘That’s?’
I discovered that there were many hanging nets densely on the ceiling.
And then one of the hooks tore open and something spilled out along with some sticky fluid falling into the hallway.
Cheodeok!
The black stage member who was combined with none other than an external demon slowly raised his body and approached Zeke.
All of the cocoons hanging from the ceiling were demons imbued with the power of an outsider.
In fact from the beginning this ship was a trap designed to attract Zeke.
Crackle crackle crackle―
Soon the same tearing sound as before was heard from the ceiling and the mines inside the cocoon began to fall one by one.
Kkaaaaaaah!
The mines let out a terrible roar raised their bodies and approached Zeke.
Zeke took the Infinite Chain Rider’s form with an indifferent attitude while looking at the bizarre sights.
“Come and let me deal with you.”
At that moment the mines rushed towards Zeke with their tentacles extended and the dark hallway was bathed in golden light.
* * *
Kugugugugugu―
Deep in the stormy sea a giant kraken lay dead being eaten by something.
It was an alien beast in the form of a sea serpent that attacked the Kraken who had been guarding the Storm Castle on the Storm Coast for thousands of years.
The sea serpent that suddenly swooped in wrapped itself around the Kraken’s body inserted its tentacles inside injected venom and gradually succeeded in subduing it.
During this gap the invaders were able to force their way into the castle and enter the island.
In the end the Kraken was killed by an outsider and the guardian of the Storm Castle met his end.
The one who controlled this sea serpent demon was none other than Souma the captain of the Black Stage’s right wing.
Souma was watching the situation above the water through a crystal ball inside a translucent bead attached to the forehead of the demon.
‘Even you Zeke Draker cannot stop hundreds of mutant baptists.’
Those currently working for Arthur Draker are called Baptists the minions who have received power from outsiders.
But not everyone could be baptized.
Only the chosen ones could receive perfect baptism and be reborn as a new ‘race’.
Souma was one of those chosen people.
He set a trap on a ship full of mutants who had failed to be baptized and dragged Zeke in.
Even if he was a black knight it was impossible for him to stop hundreds of mutant baptists who were constantly regenerating and dividing on his own.
So Souma thought that he would be able to deal with Sieg Draker perfectly here.
As he was waiting for Zeke Draker’s death the crystal ball he was looking at suddenly turned golden.
“Ugh!”
Souma who had tightly shut his eyes turned his head again to check and the crystal ball was no longer reflecting the screen above the water.
He frowned at the sudden burst of golden light from the trap he had set.
‘Could it be Zeke Draker?’
Harvey Draker a new member of the faction said that Zeke should be considered as more than a black knight.
Souma and the other Baptists did not take Harvey Draker’s words at face value.
However it could not be ignored so this trap was set up with such considerations in mind but an unexpected reaction occurred.
Souma felt a moment of anxiety.
‘I guess I’ll have to go up and see what’s going on.’
He considered moving as it was but then out of a desire to control it he moved the connected magic hand so that he could abandon the tattered kraken and rise to the surface.
Bam!
Souma was adjusting his demonic hand but it didn’t move as if it was caught in something.
‘what?’
But then it happened.
Kwakwakwakwang!
I felt a huge impact as the devil struck me.
