A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 617



Episode 617

Kwakwakwakwa!

Levatein imbued with the spirit of the gods broke through the shield surrounding the temple and charged towards Hercules.

Then Hercules knelt down on one knee and lowered the lion head helmet he was wearing.

Then a light flashed from the eye sockets of the lion head helmet he was wearing and in an instant a gate made of orichalcum was summoned right in front of Hercules.

Levatein flying towards Hercules crashed into the summoned Orichalcum Gate.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

A huge shock wave spread in all directions.

As the cloud of dust caused by the impact settled Hercules was revealed standing proudly on his own two feet.

The Levatein thrown by Zeke was stuck in the Orichalcum Gate summoned by Hercules.

Although the door was almost torn apart by the power of the spirit contained in the window the attack was blocked by Orichalcum’s strong physical power.

When Nabu saw this his mouth opened wide.

“What the… How can you stop something like that!”

Hercules who blocked Zeke’s attack with the Orichalcum Gate prepared to counterattack again.

He took up his longbow again and aimed it at Zig’s group.

But this time there was something different from before.

Crunch!

Hercules’ thigh opened and an arrow made of orichalcum emerged from it.

When the arrow was placed on the bowstring a bowstring made of light appeared.

Hercules aimed his bow into the air and pulled back with all his might.

Kookookookookook!

The drawn orichalcum arrow produced a faint vibration.

At the same time Hercules shot an arrow into the air.

Peeeeeeeeeing!

The arrows shot up at an invisible speed.

Then Nigel who was watching this sensed something unusual and shouted.

“Zeke! Nabu! Strike the barrier!”

Nabu reflexively recited a defensive command at Nigel’s words and Zeke also raised his Shadow Armor.

Nigel also raised his spirits and strengthened his defenses.

Soon something began to pour down from the sky.

Dududududu!

Very thin iron needles poured down like rain.

The orichalcum arrows shot by Hercules dispersed and rained down in all directions.

Nabu was terrified at the sight of the orichalcum rain falling from the sky and strengthened his defenses.

“Damn it! Hang in there!”

Kwakwakwakwa!

Orichalcum needles also poured down on the protective shield created by Zeke’s group.

Although it was thin it was falling from the sky and gaining speed so its power was no different from a natural disaster.

The Nabu’s defensive shield which had been installed at the very front was immediately destroyed when a few orichalcum needles struck it.

“Ugh!”

The orichalcum needles even pierced through the shadow armor that Zeke had placed.

The problem was that Hercules was preparing to shoot a second arrow.

When Zeke saw this he said to Nabu and Nigel.

“I don’t know how many orichalcum arrows there are so I can’t just stand here.”

He continued looking towards Hercules.

“You two get my attention. I’ll come in and hit him from behind.”

Nigel asked back at Zeke’s words.

“Are you okay alone?”

“I have a plan. If you give me an opening I can subdue him.”

Nigel nodded at Zeke’s words.

She said as she looked at Nabu.

“I’m going to take down the Naboo shield. You and I will split up and draw his attention to both sides.”

Nabu continued to scold Nigel’s words.

“Oh my goodness. Finish Zeke off as quickly as possible! I don’t want to perish in a place like this!”

Zeke nodded and slowly put on his Shadow Armor.

Meanwhile a second arrow was fired and orichalcum needles rained down from the sky towards them.

Then Naboo and Nigel jumped out on either side.

Nigel with his quick movements drew Hercules’ attention as he swung his sword and swatted away the flying orichalcum needles.

At the same time Nabu on the other side flew into the air on a carpet.

He opened the book and shouted.

“The arrows fired by the enemy are met with a backlash and return!”

At his command the wind blew in the opposite direction.

Normally the arrow should have been returned by the wind but unfortunately the wind did not have enough power to return the heavy orichalcum arrow.

Thanks to this it only ended up slightly slowing down the speed at which the arrows struck.

“Ugh! This isn’t it. Then let’s try something else…”

But then it happened.

Phew!

Nigel who was on the ground caught the slowly falling orichalcum arrow with his sword and hurled it towards Hercules.

The orichalcum needle charged with the power of the Holy Spirit flew through the shield surrounding the temple and reached Hercules’ feet.

Nabu seeing this chuckled.

“Oh so it wasn’t completely ineffective! Alright! Then let’s try something similar again!”

While Nigel and Nabu distracted Hercules Zeke stealthily returned to the back of the cast.

He had entered the area after reconstructing and disabling the barrier with the power of the arrogant savior.

Hercules still had his eyes on Nabu and Nigel and was busy shooting arrows.

Zig who was hiding in the shadows looked at Hercules like that and spoke to the system.

‘System connect to that golem.’

If we could access Hercules’ management system and gain control of it we could even turn that fearsome golem into an ally.

But contrary to Zeke’s expectations the system displayed a warning message.

[Connection is not possible because no access point for the object was found.]

[It is assumed to be an entity that operates separately from the management system.]

[To access an independent entity you must make direct contact with the drive core.]

It seemed that for security reasons it was separated from the city’s management system and made to move voluntarily.

‘Then I guess I’ll have to strike directly and connect to the drive core.’

Zeke took out Ascalon.

A sword made of the same orichalcum would have been enough to strike Hercules’ body.

“Kiyooooooo!”

Outside the shield Nabu was noisily drawing Hercules’ attention while Nigel continued to return the orichalcum needle and strike back.

Zeke approached Hercules stealthily.

And then in one breath he tried to contact the driving core and seize control.

But then I felt something strange from the side.

‘That’s?’

Kiririririk!

I could see a swarm of black insects swarming in the air.

Zeke squinted his eyes to get a closer look at the flying insects.

‘That’s?’

The appearance of the insects in their various shapes was quite bizarre even for a demon.

It was as if bugs were attached to the backs of the demons scattered throughout the area and were controlling them as hosts.

Kirrrrrr!

These terrible beings were monsters created by combining the insects summoned by the Baron with the demons from Atlantis.

Soon monsters with both demonic and insect characteristics arrived screaming and descending towards where Nigel and Nabu were.

Keeeeek!

Then he opened his mouth wide and started spitting poisonous darts at them.

Nabu was startled by the sight of the monster suddenly flying towards him and turned sharply in the direction of the carpet.

Although he dodged quickly the poisonous stingers the monsters spat out grazed Naboo’s carpet.

Cheeeeeeek―

Even though I only put a little bit on the end the carpet started burning rapidly.

“Kwaaah! What is this!”

The carpet one corner of which was almost melted lost its strength and fell to the ground.

Nabu quickly opened the book and summoned clouds with his words.

Gooooooo!

Nabu landed safely on the rising clouds and as he rose safely the clouds soon dispersed like fog.

“Oh my it’s so ugly.”

Nabu who had been patting his waist raised his head to determine the identity of the being that had attacked him. Then he saw hundreds of black monsters swarming from the air.

“shit!”

Nabu summoned arrows of light again and fired them at the incoming monsters.

On the other side Nigel was swinging his sword at the oncoming monsters.

Cheeeeeeek!

The acidic fluids spewed out by the monsters with their bodies spurted out green smoke.

Soon the area was filled with smoke and Nigel felt dizzy for a moment.

‘It’s a terrible poison.’

As I swung my sword while restricting my breathing to avoid the poison the power was noticeably reduced.

Zeke who was watching from behind clenched his molars.

‘Baron… knew we’d strike here first and took advantage of the opportunity.’

Zeke widened his scope to find Baron hiding somewhere nearby.

At that moment Hercules who was holding the longbow began to move differently.

Zeke looked at Hercules like that and wondered what to do.

This was because if I moved rashly in a situation where I didn’t know when the Baron would attack I might end up being ambushed. If I had been alone I would have made a quick decision but as long as Nabu and Nigel were there I had to consider their safety as well.

While Zeke was pondering Hercules put down his longbow and put his lion helmet back on his face. Then he stood firm and brought his hands together in a triangle shape toward his chest.

Woof woof woof!

Vibrations began to occur throughout Hercules’ entire body made of orichalcum and then they were concentrated in his triangular hands that he held toward his chest.

He immediately fired the vibration waves he had gathered in his hand straight ahead.

Kiiiiiiiiiiiing―

The vibration waves that Hercules unleashed struck the monsters rushing toward Nabu and Nigel.

Surprisingly the demons combined with the bugs summoned by Baron were unable to keep up with that one blow and began to fall to the ground.

Kieeeeeek!

The demons were in agony pouring out all their bodily fluids and the insects that had joined them began to separate from each other.

Then the insects that had fallen from the bodies of the dead demons spewing out bodily fluids spread their wings and flew into the air.

This time the lion’s mouth on Hercules’ helmet gaped open.

Whoosh whoosh!

A white flame rose from the lion’s mouth and began to pour out a storm of fire toward the flying insects.

Kwakwakwakwa!

The insects caught in the firestorm were all turned to ash and scattered in an instant.

Nabu and Nigel’s eyes grew as big as lanterns when they saw Hercules kill hundreds of monsters in an instant.

“Wow… This is crazy. If I had one golem like that I wouldn’t need a Highlander.”

Even Nigel who usually didn’t respond to Nabu’s words couldn’t help but nod this time.

Hercules who had swept away all the demons in an instant picked up his longbow again.

Then Nabu and Nigel who had been watching the performance absentmindedly stepped back in bewilderment.

“Damn it! It’s not over yet!”

It was when Hercules was about to place the orichalcum arrow on the bow again and draw it back.

Oh my god!

Hercules’ massive body was thrown sideways by the powerful impact from the side.

Zeke holding Ascalon unleashed the Elemental Sword’s Gravity Field and struck Hercules.

‘Finish it as quickly as possible.’

Since we didn’t know when or where the Baron would launch a surprise attack we had to quickly contact Hercules’ drive core.

Ziggy rushed towards the curled up Hercules.

He lifted Ascalon and mounted Heracles who was still unable to raise himself and struck him on the breastplate.

Zzz! Zzz! Zzz!

Each time the bodies of Ascalon and Hercules collided shockwaves strong enough to shake the atmosphere spread out in all directions.

As Zeke’s attacks continued the light in Hercules’ eyes changed again.

Jiing!

In an instant Hercules let go of the longbow he was holding and picked up the club he was carrying at his side.

Woohoo!

A faint vibration came from the huge orichalcum club that Hercules was holding.

Hercules immediately swung his club at Zeke.

Kwakwakwakwa!

Zig who was striking the breastplate felt the flying club and immediately turned around to swing his sword.

Kwakwakwang!

The sword and the club clashed and a loud noise rang out like an explosion.

Zeke was impressed by the shock that resonated from the palm holding the sword.

‘Is this simply the power of a golem?’

The power contained in the club was the kind that could only be felt from a trained knight. It was not simply a swing but the charm of swordsmanship was infused into it.

As Zeke was wondering Hercules’ entire body began to vibrate.

Wooooow!

Zeke felt the vibrational force seeping into his body and wondered what a similar force might be.

‘This is… a strong resonance?’

The golem Hercules was using a power similar to the Demon World’s martial art Gangpa Gongjin which Aratasso had taught him.

Hercules tried to swing his club at Zigg again this time with the power of the vibrations.

Zeke noticed this and jumped back bouncing off the golem.

Kookung!

Hercules rose again glared at Zeke and raised his club.

Zeke also held Ascalon and glared at Hercules catching his breath.

Then he looked at Hercules and said:

“You’re not a golem.”
