A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 71



Episode 71

‘Ancient dragon?’

Zeke turned around abruptly.

Kwaaaaah!

The giant demon opened its mouth wide and swallowed the person Zeke was facing.

Kkwadduk!

Zeke quickly dodged and took out Bahamut.

Then he aimed his sword at the giant demon.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!

A huge whirlpool began to form from Zeke’s sword.

Elemental Sword

The hydraulic field

Wave Sword

A huge tsunami occurred on the calm lake shore.

Kwakwakwakwa!

The energy of the wave sword swirled and flew towards the giant demon.

Kaaaaaaah!

Even though it was underwater the demon’s roar echoed.

Zeke adjusted his grip on his sword and charged at the demon.

Woohoo!

The rising aura blade cut through the demon’s hard scales.

Choaack!

Zeke didn’t know it but Masu had never encountered an enemy that could pierce his scales before.

Masu opened his eyes bloodshot from the pain he felt for the first time and gaped at Zig.

Then a huge spray of water came out of his mouth.

Kwakwakwakwa!

The enormous water pressure crushed Zeke’s body as if it were going to tear him apart.

‘Ugh!’

Zigg gritted his teeth to withstand the tremendous water pressure.

If things continued like this it would be very disadvantageous to fight.

Then something occurred to me.

‘Hersion!’

As soon as he came to his senses Zeke activated the Herzion he had taken from Cain.

Clang!

The Hersion which was in the form of a back plate unfolded and transformed into a full plate armor that covered Zeke’s entire body.

Equipped with his armor Zeke could feel the effects of water pressure being reduced compared to before.

Zeke who was now able to move more freely raised his spirits by holding Bahamut while keeping his feet planted on the riverbed.

Woohoo!

Strangely enough when I put on Hersion and drew energy a much stronger force was formed at the tip of the sword.

A powerful aura raged like a storm.

Zeke aimed his sword at the demon.

Dragon’s Sword Technique

Chapter 8 Section 1

Yongrin Begi

A huge aura rose from Zeke’s sword.

The aura blade which had risen over ten meters high struck the rushing demon with a flash of light.

Cheeeeeeeing!

The demon that was hit directly by Zig’s dragon’s blade stopped moving for a moment.

And then the sword fight broke out belatedly.

Kwakwakwakwa!

The demon screamed and howled in pain as his entire body was torn apart.

Zeke didn’t miss this opportunity.

He took up his position again.

Woohoo!

Energy flowed into the sword again.

A huge whirlpool formed around Bahamut.

Zeke aimed the tip of his sword at the back of the demon’s neck.

He concentrated all his body’s strength on the tip of the sword.

Chapter 8 Section 3

Yonglin stabbing

A huge energy enveloped Zig’s sword which then turned into a powerful spear and shot towards the demon.

Kwakwakwakwa!

A huge spear made of auror blades passed right through the demon’s body.

Pufferpuck!

The demon barely managed to turn his body to avoid the vital spot but the powerful energy split his scales and tore through his flesh.

The demon eventually retreated slowly.

Zeke followed after the demon thinking that he had to end it here.

And then he used the Dragon’s Claw skill behind the demon who was trying to escape.

Choaack!

The fierce dragon’s claws cut through the demon’s back.

The demon writhed and screamed but did not stop running away.

Zeke used his whirlwind to quickly chase after the demon.

Then as soon as he got close he immediately raised his sword and plunged it into the demon’s neck.

Kkwadduk!

Zig who had stuck his sword into the Demon’s neck with the power of gold exerted his strength and sank to the bottom of the lake.

Kukookung!

As the giant demon sank to the ground the dirt rose upward blurring the surrounding vision.

Zig secured vision with his dragon eye skill and threatened the demon with his dragon majesty.

At that moment a message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[Elicited fear from an ancient dragon eroded by polluted energy.]

[Unique power Dragon Species Domination is activated.]

[Do you want to subjugate the target species?]

Zeke had previously subjugated a chimera created by the warlock Gurav and turned it into a summoned creature.

‘Is it possible to subdue such a large demon?’

The demon lord I caught a while ago wasn’t a dragon he just ate too much and gained skills.

Zeke debated whether it would be better to absorb the demon’s beast through gluttony or to subjugate it.

‘If it doesn’t work I’ll just swallow it whole.’

Zig responded to the message that came to mind saying he would do so.

Woohoo!

Unlike the Chimera incident a magic circle-like pattern appeared on Zeke’s mid-range.

A magic circle with the same shape as that pattern spread around the demon’s body.

Phage crackle!

Sparks flew from the magic circle and the demon cried out in pain.

Kieeeek!

But surprisingly the demon’s appearance was changing little by little.

‘what?’

Kkwadduk!

The black aura covering the demon’s body fell away as if hardened clay was being peeled away.

Purrrrr!

The demon that had shed its black aura was not a demon but a dragon that held a mysterious aura.

Soon the black aura completely disappeared and the magic circle began to glow.

Kookookookook!

Then the light of the magic circle penetrated into the dragon.

Then a message suddenly appeared.

[The magic that eroded the ancient dragon has been purified and its past divinity has been restored.]

[The ancient dragon species has been subdued.]

[Would you like to give a name to the subordinate dragon? A dragon that has been given a name can be summoned at any time by the call of the power holder.]

Zeke looked at the ancient dragon whose magic had been purified.

It was a monster before but after it was freed from the magic it had a mysterious appearance with blue scales that shone in five colors.

After much thought Zeke decided to name the ancient dragon.

‘Nahuel.’

Zeek named it after the lake there Nahuel.

Nahuel lifted his long neck and cried as if he liked his name.

Woof woof!

It was a clear and mysterious cry unlike when he was a demon.

[You have obtained the spirit Nahuel.]

[Youngsu Nahuel can only be summoned in places with water.]

At the same time information about Nahuel came to mind.

– Nahuel Information –

Description: A water well that contains the auspicious energy of water.

Unique Ability: Can manipulate water

Special: It is consumed by magic just before it grows into a divine being. If certain conditions are met it can grow into a divine being.

‘Is it possible to grow into a god?’

However information regarding the conditions was not provided.

Nahuel nodded gracefully towards Zeke.

Although he didn’t act cute as openly as Gourav he seemed quite dignified.

‘Are you telling me to ride behind you?’

Zeke thought to himself but Nahuel nodded as if he had read his thoughts.

Summoned creatures subservient to the master of power were connected by soul so they could communicate with each other with just their minds.

Zeke climbed on behind Nahuel.

Then Nahuel rose quickly to the surface of the lake.

Choaaaak!

Nahuel appeared above the lake parting the water.

Woof woof woof!

Before we knew it the sun had risen and the clear sunlight was warmly illuminating the lake.

Zeke rode Nahuel towards the lakeshore.

When they reached the lakeshore he brushed the scales off Nahuel’s neck.

“I look forward to working with you in the future Nahuel.”

Purrrrr!

After a long cry Nahuel returned to the lake.

Unlike the chimera Gurav Nahuel seemed to stay in this lake and then be summoned.

As Zeke climbed up onto the shore Felix stared at him with his mouth wide open.

“Master Ma. What was that just now?”

Zig said with a nonchalant expression.

“It was a demon in the lake. It changed like this after the curse was lifted.”

“Huh? The curse is lifted?”

“I don’t know exactly. I’m hungry so prepare something to eat Felix.”

Felix was still dazed but he followed Zeke’s instructions and started a fire and prepared food.

Zeke sat at the campsite examining the golden mask he had retrieved from the bottom of the lake.

“Hmm. The thing engraved on the forehead looks similar to the insignia of the Holy Kingdom.”

The insignia of the Holy Kingdom that Felix had was different in shape and form but the basic format was the same.

Zeke fiddled with his mask remembering how the Terracan Draker’s relic had previously reacted to mana.

He tried to pour some mana into the mask.

Woohoo!

Surprisingly this time it reacted to Mana again.

He tried putting more mana into the mask.

At the same time a message came to mind.

[I acquired the mask of ???]

[Would you like to register as a mask user?]

A similar window came to mind when I acquired Cain’s Herzion.

‘This is also marked with a question mark.’

According to Gelion the Herzion that Cain had was made before the Golden Age.

This mask could also have been made around the same time.

With many questions in his mind Zeke registered himself as a user of the mask.

So the message window popped up again.

[Registered as a user of the mask.]

[Do you want to activate the mask function?]

The mask’s function wasn’t explained so it’s not known what it does but Zig suggested activating it for now.

‘What is it? Is it something like Hersion?’

As soon as Zeke chose to activate light suddenly began to shine from the mask.

“What what?”

The mask emitted a powerful light just like when I first discovered it under the lake.

At the same time the mask unfolded and wrapped itself around Zeke’s face.

‘What the heck is this!’

Then the message window popped up again.

[The function of the mask of ??? is activated.]

[Interconnected with intermediate management systems and functions.]

[Check the class Immortal.]

[Skill ‘Purification’ is activated.]

[The skill ‘Purification’ combines with the Immortal class to become the unique class-exclusive skill ‘Great Purification’.]

[The function of ‘Great Purification’ is linked to the user’s wide-range skill buff.]

[Determine the scope of the purification.]

[We are carrying out the work of purifying the magic that has eroded the land.]

Zeke was startled when he saw the message that appeared.

‘Unique class exclusive skill?’

Wooooow!

A tremendous golden light burst out from Zeke’s masked body.

“omg!”

Felix who was preparing food was surprised to see Zeke wearing a golden mask and bathed in golden light.

And at that moment the golden light that was emanating from Zeke’s body began to spread out in all directions like waves.

Srrrrrr!

The first thing that touched the golden light coming from Zeke’s body was the thorny vines that had grown luxuriantly.

The black dust that had been stuck all over the place began to fall off and the thorny vines began to transform into beautiful rose vines.

“oh my god.”

Felix and Zeke also stared blankly at the sight.

As the golden waves slowly spread the place where the thorny vines had been turned into a rose garden and the strangely twisted trees also turned into beautiful garden trees.

Passssssss!

The black lake water became clear and the dry land became full of life with green sprouts sprouting.

The spreading golden waves reached the castle.

At the same time a new message window popped up.

[Connect to the management system of ???]

[Changes the mode of ???]

[Disables emergency defense mode.]

Kookookookookook!

The surname was literally changing.

The walls moved the towers that made up the castle changed positions and the hunched castle completely unfolded transforming into a magnificent and ancient sight unlike before.

“Master Ma… That guy over there….”

Felix was speechless as he looked at the gloomy ghost castle transformed into a castle with a beautiful rose garden.

The golden waves did not stop there but stretched out further transforming the entire hill where the castle was located.

The barren hill was transformed into a garden full of roses and beautiful trees.

[Purification work completed.]

Clang!

The golden mask was removed from Zeke’s face and returned to its original state.

Zeke looked at the golden mask again.

‘What the heck is this?’

That was when.

Doo doo doo doo!

Something was running at incredible speed.

Horsemen were riding towards Zig.

Felix panicked drew his sword and took a stand.

Then Zeke stopped Felix.

“Felix calm down. You are not the enemy.”

Purrrrr!

Those sitting on the giant horses dismounted and walked towards Zeke and Felix.

They were large in stature and had sturdy bones and they were all wearing the clothing of old nobles.

What was surprising was that they were all old men with white hair which did not match their large physiques.

One of them came towards Zeke and shouted.

“The prophecy has come true! The black-eyed child has restored the family to its original state!”

At the old man’s words the other old people also shouted along.

“The child with the black eyes!”

“Savior of the family!”

Felix looked at the old people who suddenly appeared and said to Zeke.

“Master Ma. What are these people?”

Then Zeke said to Felix.

“Didn’t I just greet you when I saw you earlier?”

Felix asked back in surprise.

“Huh? Are you sure it’s not the ghosts from earlier?”

“It wasn’t a ghost but a curse that had worsened his condition. When the curse was lifted he returned to his original form.”

The old man at the very front approached Zeke and knelt on one knee.

At the same time other old people also knelt down.

“To the savior of the family Rufus Agamemnon head of the House of Agamemnon sends his thanks!”

“I would like to express my gratitude!”

Other elderly people also expressed their gratitude in loud voices.

After a while Rufus Agamemnon rose from his seat and approached Zeke.

Then he put his hand like a pot lid on Zig’s shoulder and said.

“Zeke Draker! My grandson with black eyes! You have lifted the curse of our family and saved us!”
