A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 604
by Hectopascal(헥토파스칼 )
Episode 604
With their eyes shining with madness the Dark Stage members took a step forward at Baron’s command.
And at that moment black energy began to flow out of their hands.
Kkudd …
Soon their entire hands were enveloped in black energy and they turned black like the hands of a demon with sharp claws sticking out.
It wasn’t aura or magic. The black nails made of something completely different than magic felt strangely foreign.
Nigel saw this and took a stance with his sword in hand.
At the same time a dozen or so Black Stage members quickly jumped out and attacked Nigel.
Wheeeeeek―
The black stagehands occupying all directions swung their claws imbued with black energy at Nigel.
Nigel swung his sword and struck them with his sword.
Kwajijijik!
But surprisingly the claws of the black stage crew were tearing through Nigel’s sword strike itself.
‘Tearing the formless energy?’
It was a phenomenon that even Nigel who had lived for over a thousand years had never heard of or seen.
While she was feeling embarrassed other members of the Black Stage took advantage of the gap.
Wheeeeeek―
Sharp claws flew towards her empty side.
Although he was momentarily taken aback Nigel quickly dodged the attack.
Nigel’s clothes were torn near his side with just a slight brush with the black stage crew’s nails.
WHEEK!
Nigel furrowed his brows as he quickly retreated using his magic and saw the three scars left on his clothes.
Her clothing was made of a special fabric from the Forest of the Forgotten making it tougher and more durable than armor made of iron.
‘My clothes were torn even though I just brushed past them.’
It meant that the energy flowing from those nails had at least as much power as the Aura Blade.
Nabu who was behind him shouted at Ivan as he watched the black stage actors gradually approaching him with their black claws raised.

“Ivan! You idiot! This is not the time for us to fight amongst ourselves! You help me quickly!”
At Nabu’s words Ivan slightly wiggled his eyebrows but he still did not move and just stood guard at the door with his summoned creatures in front.
When Nabu saw this he ground his teeth and became angry.
“Damn it! What the hell is that guy thinking!”
At that moment the black stage crew rushed towards Nigel and Naboo.
Nigel held his sword and blocked the attacks of the Dark Stage troopers but Nabu was left in confusion and had no choice but to step back.
“You kids! I’m a non-combatant! Can’t you tell just by looking at me?”
Nabu read a passage from the book and summoned a flying carpet.
Then he got on the carpet and flew straight to where Ivan was.
The black stage crew followed behind Nabu.
Then the half-human half-beast and the grim reaper standing in front of Ivan began to move with shining eyes.
Hooooooooooo!
The scythe of the Grim Reaper and the half-human half-beast hook flew towards the charging Black Stage members and collided with their claws.
Oh my god!
There was a huge impact sound and the summoned creatures retreated instead.
The man on the carpet saw this and shouted at Ivan.
“Ivan! Did you see that? I told you not to leave those bastards alone!”
Ivan calmly aimed his crossbow at the Dark Knights not caring at all about the Nabu floating above his head on a carpet.
As the Dark Knights charged at the summoned beings again he fired the cursed arrow without hesitation.
Oh my god!
The arrows struck the ground where the Black Stage players were standing not the ones on the stage.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk―
The cursed aura that flowed from the floor enveloped the members of the Black Stage.
As it was a curse infused by Ivan a High Table it was so powerful that only high-ranking priests could resist it.
But surprisingly the curse that had covered the members of the Dark Stage did not activate properly and instead flowed into the black arm that had a suspicious aura.
Tsk tsk tsk―
The black arms of the Dark Stage members absorbed Ivan’s curse and the energy rose even stronger.
When Nabu saw this he was shocked and shouted.
“You idiot! Their power has actually gotten stronger!”
The Dark Stage members charged towards the summoned creatures Ivan had summoned emitting a stronger aura than before.
The half-human and half-beast reaper tried to block the Black Stage members by swinging their sickles and hooks but they could not block all the claws flying from all directions.
What was even more surprising was that the black arms of the Black Stage members were tearing apart and eating the bodies of reapers and half-human half-beasts.
Kkwadduk!
The black arms of the Dark Stage members bit and swallowed the summoned creatures’ energy like the mouths of beasts.
And soon the range of black energy surrounding their arms widened as if they had absorbed Ivan’s curse.
And the black energy that had previously only reached up to the forearm now covered the entire arm.
Nabu was terrified when he saw this and furrowed his brows.

“What the hell!”
He took out a book in a hurry and read the text towards the Dark Stage members who were eating Ivan’s summons.
“Rise bright light that illuminates the vast plains! Illuminate my enemies!”
As Nabu read the shortest phrase that called for the power of light in haste a light rose above his head and in an instant the light spread throughout the stone chamber.
Choaaa …
The light that Nabu brought also illuminated the dark stage members who were far away.
But surprisingly the black arm that received the light had grown even more than before.
“I’m crazy!”
It was normal for him to reject the power of light having grown up eating Ivan’s curse and spirits. However he absorbed that power and grew stronger something he couldn’t believe even when he saw it with his own eyes.
Swinging their arms even more hideously than before the Dark Stage members struck down Ivan’s summoned creatures and then caught and ate them all.
They approached Ivan and Nabu swinging black energy around their arms and shoulders.
When Nabu saw this he shouted at Ivan.
“What the hell is that? What power do I need to use to stop them?”
Even within High Table the person with the most knowledge about monsters was Ivan.
Even Ivan who was like that didn’t know anything about the power that was in the arms of the Black Stage members so he couldn’t easily open his mouth.
But then it happened.
Boom!
A huge impact sound rang out from behind the approaching black stage members.
Looking at the black energy billowing it seemed like something had hit him.
As Nabu rose into the air on his carpet he saw that it was the sound of the prayer beads that Manna had thrown at them exploding.
“Meet! What did you do? What was it that made you hit those guys?”
Instead of responding he continued to throw prayer beads at the black stage members.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Black Stage members tried to block the flying prayer beads by swinging their black claws but the damage continued.
Unlike Ivan and Nabu’s attack it certainly seemed to have had a knock-out effect.
The moment Nabu was about to ask Manna again Nigel appeared from the side brandishing his sword.
Kwakwakwakwa!
The sword strikes she swung were also hitting the Black Stage members.
Nigel landed sharply and shouted to Nabu and Ivan.
“Only soul-filled attacks will work against them!”
Nabu shouted in confusion at Nigel’s words.
“An attack with your soul! What do you mean by that! I can’t use something like that!”
Unlike Naboo Ivan had a way so he put away his crossbow and took another weapon from his pocket.
Then he took out several segmented sticks and assembled them into one to make a long pole.
He took up his stance grabbed the staff and approached the black stage performers in front of him.
Wheeeeeek!
The staff that Ivan had stabbed flew towards the Black Stage at high speed.
The black stage crew raised their arms to block Ivan’s blow.
But the moment the arm of the Black Stage member and Ivan’s staff collided a huge vibration occurred.
Oh my god!
The black stage crew was shocked and had to step back.
The part of the black arm that collided with the pole was rippling and not maintaining its original shape.
Nabu who saw this nodded as if he realized something.
“Oh my. In short it seems that an attack targeting the essence itself is necessary.”
As expected of a wise man Nabu soon figured out the solution.
Pararararak!
He immediately levitated a dozen books into the air and searched for passages containing applicable content.
And I found a passage.
“My sword is me. I am the sword. The moment the sword rises and aims at the enemy the sword is already embedded in the enemy’s body!”
As he read the passage with his tongue a sword rose up and flew straight towards the Black Stage.
Shh …
The black stage member as expected swung his black claws and tried to knock away the sword that Nabu had thrown.
The sword and the black claws clashed.
Oh my god!
A loud noise rang out and the black stage crew retreated.
“Ugh!”
The Black Stage member looked bewildered as the sword’s power was stronger than expected.
Nabu who had caught the feeling smiled slyly.
“Okay good. Let’s go somewhere!”
The scary thing about Nabu was that any attack could be repeated as many times as needed as long as the right inscription was present.
“Sword that contains my heart. Rise up. The sword will become hundreds and cut through those enemies who threaten me!”
In an instant hundreds of swords appeared in front of Nabu.
The swords began to pour down all at once toward the Black Stage members.
Shushu shu shu shush!
If we look at each one individually their power was weak compared to Nigel’s all-out attack.
However the mere sight of hundreds of soul-infused swords falling from the air at the same time was enough to dampen the spirits of the Black Stage members.
Let’s go let’s go let’s go!
Swords rained down not only on the Dark Stage members rushing towards them but also on the Dark Stage members waiting with Baron.
Oh my god!
Ding! Ding!
The sound of swords and black claws clashing as Nabu summoned them echoed from all directions.
There were also members of the Black Stage who were unable to withstand the shock of the pouring swords and fell down.
Nigel and Ivan met and launched an attack on those who had opened up a gap.
Choaaaak!
“Ugh!”
The black stage member who was hit by Nigel’s sword fell down groaning.
More than half of the Dark Stage members who had stepped forward had fallen to the attack of the swords summoned by Nabu.
But even then Nigel’s expression did not soften at all.
‘The sword Nabu summoned had no effect on them at all.’
The dark stagehands standing with Baron were all annihilated before Nabu’s sword even touched them.
The vanguard sent ahead must have been the weakest of them all.
At that moment Baron who had been watching this slowly opened his mouth.
“Take care of Ingel.”
Ingel the left wing captain bowed his head toward Baron.
As she gestured the black stage crew that had been waiting moved.
chuck!
Ingel stepped forward and reached out to the fallen Black Stage members.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk―
The black energy flowing from her hand flowed towards the fallen ones.
Then surprisingly the wounds of the fallen Black Stage members began to heal and they regained consciousness and stood up again.
When Nabu saw this he couldn’t help but be astonished while lying on the carpet.
“This is crazy…..”
Summoning a sword with a soul required the consumption of considerable karma.
I was so discouraged by the way they revived them so casually after barely reducing their numbers.
Nigel also looked impressed at this.
She said to Ivan who was next to her.
“Call Chief Ivan. We can’t stop them with our own strength. We must awaken the power of this tower.”
Ivan shook his head after hearing Nigel’s words.
“Contact with the leader has been lost.”
Nigel’s eyes widened at his words.
“What do you mean we lost contact…”
Before they could hear Ivan’s words the Black Stage members rose again and rushed towards them.
Wheeeeeek―
They swung their claws with sharper movements than before.
Choaaaak!
Nigel swung his sword to block the attack but it didn’t end there.
This time black energy surged from his feet instead of his hands and he began to swing his hands and feet in the air in strange movements just like a martial artist.
Choaaaak!
Sharp claws flew from all directions and blade-like claws aimed for their vital points.
Choaack!
Ivan who was guarding Nigel’s back got his shoulder grazed by the attack of the Black Stage members.
“Ivan!”
As the man behind him shouted Ivan indifferently tore off the piece of clothing he had brushed against.
The injured area was already black and necrotic and the area was gradually expanding.
Ivan seeing this without any hesitation took out a dagger from his bosom and cut off his own arm.
Choaack!
Ivan’s arm fell to the floor.
Even though he cut off his own arm Ivan’s expression did not change at all.
Soon Manna approached Ivan and cast a healing spell on his arm.
Ingel who was behind smiled faintly as he watched the high tables gradually retreating and shouted.
“Hit! Kill those ghosts of the old days!”
