A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 94



Episode 94

“It’s my fucking magic! Get out of here!”

Kwakwakwakwang!

In reality it was the explosion magic scroll that Zeke had that had been activated but Donner was mistaken because its power was no different from real magic.

“It’s a wizard! Find the wizard!”

Suddenly magic flew from behind and the knights also became nervous and retreated then looked for the magician who had attacked.

But that was a wrong choice.

This was because Zeke had already installed explosive scrolls in places where they could avoid.

Kwakwakwakwang!

An explosion occurred as the hidden scroll was activated.

“Ugh!”

Any other knight would have been annihilated by this explosion but these were still the Knights of Draker.

In that situation I quickly covered my body with an aura and rolled to a place where the explosion wouldn’t reach.

The Drake Knights’ uniform which effectively blocks magic also played a part in protecting them.

Donner drew his sword and shouted.

“What the hell kind of guy are you!”

A huge gust of wind blew towards the knights who were still unconscious from the continuous explosions.

Donner shouted as he saw the gust of wind.

“Get out of here!”

Some knights jumped into the sea while others rolled over and hid behind rocks.

The gust of wind that Zeke had created swept through the surrounding area obscuring the view.

Meanwhile Zeke hid behind a rock and cut off the heads of the knights.

“Cough!”

Even the Drake Knight was useless because he covered his mouth and stabbed the vital point in one go.

As the gust of wind died down the unit leader Donner finally came to his senses and tried to gather his men together.

But when I looked around all the soldiers were already dead and lying on the ground.

“How is this….”

Then someone stood behind Donner.

He felt the sharp dagger stabbing his neck.

“Where is Abel?”

Donner watched intently looking for an opportunity to swing his sword.

Crunch!

Zeke cut off Donner’s arm with the sword he was holding in his other hand.

“Kwaaah!”

Zeke held up Donner’s severed arm and asked again.

“If you answer now I’ll give you a potion. The sooner you answer the higher your chances of getting back together.”

Donner held his severed arm and breathed heavily.

A knight with an arm cut off was worthless.

He opened his mouth his lips trembling.

“Chief Da the terminal….”

Crunch!

Before Donner could finish his sentence Zeke cut off his head with his sword.

There was no intention of keeping him alive in the first place.

Zeke sent a signal to Boris who was hiding.

While Zeke guarded Karus Boris decided to go into the cave and negotiate with the smugglers.

After a while Boris arrived with several smugglers carrying weapons.

The smugglers who had been on guard came out of the cave with weapons in hand.

Zig asked the smuggler who seemed to be the leader in the group in Southern dialect.

“Do you have a ship? We must go to the Southern Continent immediately. We will pay the price.”

Then the smuggler said to Zeke.

“You saved our lives so we don’t need anything in return. But right now it’s difficult to sail the ship.”

“Is a storm coming?”

The smuggler shook his head.

“Because the big ones come out when the weather is like this.”

Boris who was standing next to him added:

“It means a monster comes out of the sea.”

Zeke said to the smuggler.

“Don’t worry and just set sail I’ll catch the monster if it comes out.”

At his words the smugglers began to whisper among themselves.

Then he quickly nodded.

“A southern woman will repay a favor even if it costs her life. I will set the ship afloat but I cannot guarantee its arrival.”

“i get it.”

The smugglers entered the cave again.

Then surprisingly they laid rails all the way to the shore and pulled the boat inside the cave.

The ship soon rose into the sea and Zeke climbed on board with Karus.

I checked the ship with my eyes to see if there were any other traps on board and fortunately there were no hidden assassins or explosive devices.

“Please take a rest here for a moment.”

Surprisingly Karus followed Zeke and Boris’ forced march well.

Although he did give me potions whenever my stamina dropped he was better than most soldiers.

Zeke asked Karus.

“Your Majesty have you ever received military training before?”

Karus nodded at those words.

“Yeah. I had field training. How did you know?”

“Those who only received knight training found it difficult to endure marching or field combat situations.”

Karus nodded at those words.

“There are some noble knights who are just show-offs. But I served my entire three-year term and was discharged from active duty.”

Zeke was even more surprised by Karus’ words.

“You are a member of the royal family so you are saying that you have volunteered for military service?”

The Roman Empire was the one that adopted conscription.

Both young men and women were required to serve in the military for three years.

However most nobles avoided their military service with various excuses.

The same was true for the royal family.

As a result it became quite natural for the royal family and nobles not to join the military.

In such a situation it was naturally surprising that Prince Karus who had the right of succession completed his military service on active duty.

“Is it strange that I am a reservist?”

“It’s surprising. I thought you only liked drinking and gambling.”

“It was a rather rude remark but since you saved my life I will let it slide. Sir Zeke I am an artist. An artist should know how to enjoy the world of pleasure but he must also have many other experiences. Paris the famous bard of the Holy Empire was a legendary bard a great soldier and a swordsman representing his time.”

Zeke was a little impressed when he saw the unexpected side of Karus.

I had been in charge of several rescue missions in my previous life and each time dealing with reckless nobles was more difficult than dealing with ten knights.

While I was chatting with Karus about this and that preparations were completed.

“Boss says we are leaving now.”

“Okay Boris. Now you get some rest too.”

Soon the ship set sail and the Republic of Dorta began to move further away.

At that moment the captain of the smuggler’s ship approached Zeke.

“If the wind is this strong it will take about ten days. However as I said I can’t guarantee that we will be able to arrive safely at the Southern Continent.”

“Is it because of the monster I mentioned earlier?”

“It’s hard to predict how the pirates will act let alone the monsters unless it’s a set day and time.”

“Pirates. I thought the Pamela Cartel was disbanded and scattered.”

Then he shook his head.

“You have abandoned your honor as a pirate and gone to land so I will no longer treat you as a pirate.”

“So there are other pirates besides them?”

“Yes. There are scary guys who operate around the Death Sea. We usually pay the toll and come and go but if we’re unlucky we end up becoming fish food.”

In short it was saying that the pirates were free to do as they pleased.

Zeke nodded.

“Understood. If we come across pirates I’ll take care of them.”

The captain bowed his head and went back toward the deck.

I was worried that Abel might chase us with a boat but fortunately no boats were seen chasing us.

‘I hope Paynen has arrived safely. I hope Muhammad has done well.’

Zig sat in the cabin turned on the status window for the first time in a long while and checked his current abilities.

‘You’ve grown a lot since I first saw you.’

Zeke checked the information about the newly created power ‘Corruption’.

―Power Information―

Corruption: It is possible to corrupt anything you touch.

‘Anything can be corrupted.’

Since it was an ability that I didn’t quite understand I decided to slowly learn about the power of corruption.

Zeke looked satisfied as he looked at his karma points which were over two thousand.

Next Zeke opened the three random boxes that had been given to him.

―Upper body armor information―

Description: Upper body armor made of strong yet light meteorite.

Unique Abilities: None

Special feature: When you complete the full set of Yuncheol a unique ability is activated.

Special feature: When you complete the full set of Yuncheol a unique ability is activated.

All three pieces of equipment were made of iron.

‘The gauntlets and boots lower body armor that came out last time were also made of iron.’

Then a message window popped up.

[The full set of Yuncheol has been matched.]

[When equipped with the full set of Uncheol the unique ability ‘Magic Shiel’ is automatically activated.]

“Magic Shield? So it’s a shield that forms on its own? I’m lucky to get a full set right away.”

Zig immediately put on a full set of the Uncheol armor.

Because the iron armor itself was tightly woven like clothing rather than plate metal it was very easy to move around.

“Okay. I’ll have to use it when I need to move around while hiding my identity.”

Zeke taught Karus basic survival skills on board the ship during the voyage.

Still perhaps because of his knightly training and military training he followed along better than expected.

Among other things Zeke taught Karus how to use a crossbow and shield.

“Other knights only trained themselves with swords but Sir Zeke is different.”

“Those idiots usually get shot by arrows and die.”

Karus nodded at Zeke’s firm words.

In reality the most threatening thing to knights in a battle situation was the arrows that suddenly flew in.

If you could always maintain your aura state arrows wouldn’t be a threat at all but if you were exhausted even a single arrow could be fatal.

This was the reason why important vital points were always covered even though the armor gradually became lighter after being promoted to a purple knight.

Karus studied survival techniques diligently because his life depended on it.

This was possible because the imperial warships were not pursuing them and they were sailing quite leisurely. However problems soon arose.

On the third day the sea suddenly began to become rough.

“What’s going on?”

The smugglers shouted in confusion.

“Hey big guy… the big guy is coming!”

The monster I was worried about before leaving seemed to be approaching.

Zeke pulled out Bahamut and looked out at the sea.

But the waves were rough and I couldn’t see anything.

In my previous life I had encountered several monsters in the sea.

But back then they lured the monsters onto land and hunted them using various equipment.

Even though the situation was more difficult than before Zeke calmly took out the ‘Whale’s Breath’ he had purchased in advance from his inventory and drank it.

Thanks to that I can now breathe even if I fall into the sea.

That was when.

Kookookookookook!

A huge sound echoed from the bottom of the sea.

The sailors were terrified and began to pray.

Then something approached from under the sea.

Iron Man!

A powerful wave hit the side of the ship.

The smuggling ship was rocking so hard it almost capsized.

Zeke shouted at Boris.

“Take the prince inside!”

Boris took Karus straight to the inner cabin and after confirming this Zeke drew his sword and swung it towards the waves.

Kwakwakwakwa!

The waves crashed against Zig’s sword.

But again the waves came crashing in.

At the same time a giant monster appeared within the waves.

Kugugugugugu!

A giant kraken stretched out its legs and tried to wrap itself around the ship.

It was so big that its suction cups were as big as a person.

As the terrified sailors froze in place and prayed Zeke shouted:

“Get into the cabin now!”

At the same time Zeke swung his sword at the giant kraken’s leg.

Crunch!

As I cut off its legs with the Dragon Slaughter method the giant kraken howled and retreated.

Wow! Wow!

More legs came crashing down on the ship accompanied by a long howl.

Zeke thought he had no chance of winning on board.

He hesitated for a moment then shouted toward the sea.

“Nahuel!”

The dragon that was subordinate to Zeke’s call responded.

A huge magic circle appeared in the sea and Nahuel was summoned within it.

Woof woof woof!

It was Nahuel making a mysterious cry just like when I saw him at the lake.

Zeke jumped up right behind Nahuel.

He grabbed Nahuel by the neck and lifted Bahamut.

“Nahuel let’s go catch that damn squid.”

Woof woof woof!

As the mysterious spirit’s cries echoed Zeke felt his heart relax.

The Kraken’s legs shot up towards Zigg who was riding the water.

A huge bridge resembling a tower loomed over Zig.
