A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 93



Episode 93

Kwakwakwakwa!

The spear of aura that Zeke had thrown pierced the demon’s heart straight through.

The demon whose head had almost completely regenerated let out a long cry in pain as the core was pierced the moment he regained consciousness.

Gooooooooooo!

There was a hole where my heart was.

The wings that had sprouted from the demon’s back melted and disappeared.

Kaaaaaaah!

The demon yelped and staggered then fell to the floor.

Zeke who had been watching the devil from behind Bucephalus slowly descended while remaining alert.

“Attacking the nuke was the right answer.”

At the same time a message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[The skill level of True Dragon Sword (S) increases from Beginner to Expert.]

The True Dragon Sword left behind by Shatton Drake was a vision created to persistently target the dragon’s vital points.

On the other hand the dragon killing method currently taught by Draker was modified to fit combat with people not dragons.

After the Terracan Drakers many families created their own visions and applications based on the Yongsal method but its original form remained as the basic Yongsal method.

Even in the bloodline families including Draker the basic Yongsal method was considered only an introductory swordsmanship as they focused only on improved applications and non-electric swordsmanship.

However as Zeke learned Shatton Draker’s True Dragon Sword he realized that the true essence of the Dragon Sword was contained within the basic Dragon Sword.

The sword’s initial form and format were important but how to combine and utilize the aura in that technique and how to link each initial form were the key points of the True Dragon Sword.

Zeke was able to learn the secrets of the True Dragon Sword through his battle with the swamp master.

‘I now know for sure what the meaning of the True Dragon Sword is which is to kill a dragon.’

As the demon fell the area that had completely turned into a swamp was slowly returning to its original appearance.

Zeke drove Bucephalus down to the ground.

Then he approached the fallen demon.

It wasn’t completely dead yet as the mud-like things on the surface of its skin were wriggling around in small motions.

That was when.

The mud-like skin flowed down revealing the eyes of the demon that had been covered within it.

The eyes were similar in shape to those of Bahamut that Zeke had seen in Shatton Draker’s past images.

‘Is this really acceptable?’

At that moment something clicked in Zeke’s mind.

『…Dragon Slayer… Thank you….』

Unlike earlier when the conversation was interrupted by a buzz the message was conveyed clearly.

Zeke was taken aback by the words of the demon thanking him.

“What do you mean thank you? Are you a dragon? Then why are you like this…?”

While Zeke was pouring out his words Masu closed his eyes which had barely opened as if he had lost his breath.

Again muddy organic matter covered the demon’s face and there was no trace of the dragon’s eyes.

Zeke looked at the dead master of the swamp.

It felt different from the other demons he had caught in his past or present life.

‘A dragon that says thank you to the dragon slayer. Bahamut known as the evil dragon was also the contract dragon of Terracan Draker. It seems like there is something unknown.’

Records of the Terracan Draker were also restricted by the Draker family.

The Draker family was a place of many secrets including the legend of the unknown dragon slayer.

‘If I take control of the family all these secrets will be revealed.’

Zeke wondered what to do with the dead demon or dragon’s body and decided to absorb it through gluttony.

Although I couldn’t tell exactly what it was I was certain it was a dragon so I figured I would gain a lot from binge eating.

‘But if I binge eat this won’t I get sick?’

I thought it would be okay since there had been no problems up until now but I couldn’t help but feel uneasy when I remembered that they had sprayed a lot of poison as well as acidic solution.

“It’ll be fine. Just show off some good skills.”

Zeke used gluttony on the swamp master.

Ssssssss!

Zeke’s shadow spread widely and enveloped the demon.

Soon the demon’s body was absorbed into Zig’s shadow.

Because it was so big it took quite some time to absorb it.

The shadow of gluttony barely managed to engulf all of the demons.

At the same time a message window popped up.

[I gorged on a fallen dragon that was completely consumed by magic.]

[The consumed stamina and mental power mana replenishes.]

[Binge-eating a designated creature increases the level of your Binge-eating skill as a reward.]

[As your Gluttony skill grows you can binge on items and gain abilities.]

[You have acquired the power of the gluttonous creature ‘Corruption’.]

[By absorbing the Dragon Heart of the Dragon King the seal on Bahamut’s heart is partially released. The current compression seal level is 80%.]

[Earn 1000 Karma Points.]

[You will receive 3 random boxes.]

In the Hydra era I only absorbed one head and gained the constitution of being invulnerable to poison but when I absorbed the entire ancient dragon species the reward was enormous.

Zig was startled when he saw a message that came to mind.

“You can binge eat items too?”

I wanted to try out what the feature was but given the circumstances I decided to do it later.

“I gained power a large amount of points the skill of the True Dragon Sword and even a random box. It was hard but I gained a lot.”

Zeke climbed onto Bucephalus’ back with a satisfied expression on his face.

Then he quickly ran towards Boris and Prince Karus.

* * *

“Your Majesty this way.”

Boris led the prince and hid inside the forest.

Perhaps because of the swamp’s master the other demons were not visible.

But at the same time the pursuers were able to chase them without being hindered by the demons.

“Ugh!”

Boris clenched his molars as the wound opened.

He tore his clothes to stop the bleeding from the wound and then tried to catch his breath.

The special agents have been pursuing Karus relentlessly.

‘Fuck. Where I was these guys are really vicious.’

The special forces who had split from Low’s side and were pursuing them had chased them deep into the Demon Forest.

Boris was also a special agent from the 13th Office of the Information Bureau and a Blue Knight but he was no match for the special agents while wearing Karus.

‘Can you hold out until the boss comes?’

His new boss Zeke was a real monster.

So I believed that if he came I would definitely be able to get out of here.

Then one of the special agents approached where Boris was hiding.

“I don’t know who you are but you’re really skilled. It was quite difficult for us as well.”

The special agents began to persuade him.

“You won’t be able to get out of here with the prince anyway. I have a proposal for you. Hand over the prince and I will guarantee your life.”

Boris knew better than anyone that the special agent’s words were a lie.

There was no way I could leave them alone knowing the empire’s corruption.

He held his sword and looked around cautiously.

‘I’m sure he’d say something like that and hit me in the back of the head.’

Boris drank the potion Zeke had given him and took out a scroll from his bosom.

I used it so many times to avoid pursuit that I only had a few left.

‘I don’t know how long I can last with this.’

Then the special agent shouted again.

“I’m not lying! I will really guarantee your life!”

Boris threw the smoke scroll and prepared to run away.

But then it happened.

“I’m going out! Let this guy go!”

Unexpectedly Karus was the first to get up and head towards the special forces.

Boris was surprised.

“Your Majesty! What are you doing now?”

Karus said with a bitter expression.

“You’ve done enough. I’ll surrender and you get out of here alive.”

It was Karus who innocently fell for the special forces’ persuasion.

That was when.

Whoosh!

Special forces rushed in from behind and immediately subdued Boris and Karus.

“Prince Karus has been secured.”

The special agent who had been trying to persuade her with those words chuckled.

puck!

In an instant a dagger was thrust into the special agent’s temple.

He collapsed without even being able to scream.

The special agents who subdued Karus and Boris were surprised.

“The enemy is hiding! Be on guard!”

puck!

Before he could finish his sentence two special agents had daggers stuck into their necks.

Boris got up and picked up Karus.

“Get up! We have to get out of here!”

Karus followed Boris with a bewildered expression.

The special forces followed behind them again.

But something jumped out of the forest and blocked the special forces.

Whee!

Zeke confronted the special forces that rushed at him with swords.

Woohoo!

All of the special forces’ attacks were deflected as the shield automatically unfolded from the armor.

“Oh no…”

The special agent’s neck fell off before he could even say ‘No!’

After dealing with all the special agents Zeke went after Boris.

Boris and Karus looked relieved as Zeke followed.

“boss!”

“How long does it take to get to where the Boris smuggling ship is?”

“We have to get over that mountain and go to the coast.”

“The pursuers may have bypassed the forest. It may take more time but I can’t guarantee it. Let’s hurry.”

* * *

It took another full day for Zeke and his party to pass through the Demon Forest and head towards the southern coast.

Fortunately the pursuit force sent by the special forces was no longer visible.

As I came out over the mountain I saw the sea.

“Boss this way.”

Zeke’s group moved to the southern coast where smuggling ships were stationed.

The southern part of the Republic of Dorta is close to the Sea of ​​Death and is a place with rough waves and basalt rock so it is not a place that people often approach.

Because of these geographical conditions it was used as a base by smugglers from the southern continent when entering the Republic of Dorta.

The safe route was the northern route of the kingdom but given the circumstances the southern route was the only option.

Zeke said to Boris.

“Are there always smuggling ships anchored there?”

“Most smugglers using the southern route are drug smugglers. Small smuggling ships are constantly coming in and out as the demand for soma is high in Casino City.”

“I see. But will you just take us to the Southern Continent?”

“If you say you’re from the syndicate I can’t refuse you.”

The syndicate that controlled the southern cartels was not a scale that small-time smugglers could deal with. Zeke nodded in understanding at Boris’s words.

Zeke’s party passed through the basalt zone and headed toward the cave where the smugglers had made their camp.

As we were almost there we heard the sound of fighting coming from inside the cave.

Pachin!

Kwakwakwang!

Zeke raised his hand and signaled for them to step back.

“I think they’ll find the smuggling ship anchorage.”

Boris ground his teeth at the persistence of his enemies.

If we couldn’t get on a smuggling ship here it would be difficult to find a route out.

“Boris. Keep watch over His Majesty. I will check on you.”

After using his stealth skill Zeke slowly approached the basalt cave where the battle took place.

When I looked inside I was surprised to see Drake’s knights and smugglers fighting.

‘Those guys are the Knights of the Red Lion.’

It seemed like the pursuers had taken a detour to the coast and chased them just as Zeke had expected.

Fortunately there was no sign of Abel or William.

Then someone from the Red Lion Knights shouted.

“Catch all those bastards!”

As the knights charged into the cave the smugglers fired crossbows at the knights from behind cover they had set up inside the cave while also throwing military-grade magic bombs.

Kwakwakwang!

Although they were a Draker Knight Order with skills higher than that of a Purple Knight the power of the magic bomb was so great that they could suffer serious injuries if they let their guard down.

The knights who had taken it lightly thinking he was just a simple smuggler hesitated at the unexpected counterattack.

The smugglers’ defenses armed with military-grade magic weapons leaked from the southern cartels were surprisingly strong.

‘I need to divert the attention of the Red Lions and create an opening.’

Zeke who was observing the situation took out the explosion magic scroll he had purchased from the store from his inventory and began to move stealthily and quickly.

Donner Lapelt one of the captains of the Knights of the Red Lion who led those visual knights looked annoyed.

“Fuck. Can’t you handle one of those guys?”

The Knights of the Red Lion were made up of young knights who followed Abel.

Since most of their work was spent hunting down outlaws or massacring poorly armed rebels in the Central Continent they had little combat experience in the tight confines of such rough terrain.

Donner was getting annoyed that his men were not able to sweep away the enemies as coolly as usual.

He raised his sword and shouted.

“Get out of the way! I’ll come in and sweep everything away.”

But then something flew from behind.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

It was the sound of real magic exploding not the military magic bombs thrown by smugglers.
