A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 95
by Hectopascal(헥토파스칼 )
Episode 95
Kwakwakwakwakwang!
As the giant kraken struck the bridge a tidal wave surged forward.
It felt like the waves were going to swallow the boat.
Zik riding on Nahuel’s back aimed his sword at the waves.
Woohoo!
The sword vibrated violently.
Zig held his sword horizontally and performed the secret technique of the True Dragon Sword Strike.
True Dragon Sword Art
Three-knot system
The Great Plum Blossom
The three-way sword that split Helen’s sword strike was launched toward the tsunami.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!
Zeke’s sword split the giant wave horizontally.
Then the tsunami that had risen as high as a mountain shattered into pieces.
The smugglers watching this scene from the deck were astonished at Zeke’s performance in fighting the giant kraken and destroying the tidal wave.
“Oh my God! That person is the incarnation of the Sea God!”
Although most southerners were Sun Worshipers who had spread from the Central Continent many sailors still worshipped the ancient indigenous god the Sea God.
The sight of Zeke riding a sea dragon and defeating a giant monster was enough to make him look like a legendary sea god.
The giant kraken panicked as Zeke cut through the tidal wave it had created with his sword and began to swing its thick legs wildly.
Then a huge whirlpool appeared in the sea.
Nahuel carrying Zeke tried to escape the whirlpool by fighting against the current.
Woof woof woof!
At the same time Nahuel cried out and the rough sea gradually began to calm down.
It seemed like the unique ability of the spirit Nahuel was to control the flow of the sea.
Then a huge water droplet rose up around Nahuel’s body.

Wheeeeeek!
The water droplet which appeared to have been created by Nahuel flew towards the giant kraken and stuck to it.
The water droplet gradually grew larger after attaching itself to the Kraken causing the Kraken to be unable to move its leg that was attached to the water droplet.
Zeke said to Nahuel.
“Good job Nahuel! Hold on tight!”
Woof woof woof!
Nahuel lifted his head and cried out loud as if responding to Zeke’s words.
Zig leapt across the sea his body lifted by the power of the wind.
Choaaaak!
At the same time Zeke condensed the power of the wind into his sword.
Wooooow!
The power of the storm surged from the tip of Zig’s sword.
The force of the wind which could create huge gusts was compressed and compressed into a solid ball.
The giant kraken was still unable to move due to the water droplets created by Nahuel.
Zeke aimed the tip of his sword at the Kraken and shouted.
Elemental Sword
Wind power field
Storm circle
A storm ball formed at the tip of the sword and shot towards the Kraken.
Kwakwakwakwa!
The storm circle created a huge spray of water and shot towards the Kraken’s head.
The moment the bead touched the monster’s body it exploded with its compressed power.
Kwakwakwakwa!
A huge gust of wind burst out enveloping the Kraken’s entire body.
Pubber pubber pubber!
The giant kraken’s torso was torn to pieces.
Half of the Kraken’s body was blown away and torn apart by the explosion of the storm circle.
Wow! Wow!
The giant kraken must have realized that it couldn’t defeat Zeke so it screamed and tried to escape back into the sea.
However Zeke used the Dragon Slayer technique towards the Kraken which was trying to escape into the sea.
Dragon’s Sword Technique
Chapter 4 Section 2
Flying the full moon
Zeke’s sword drew a huge full moon.
A full moon made of aura floated over the ocean surface and severed the Kraken’s torso and legs.
Kwakwakwakwa!
The kraken with all its legs cut off during the full moon floated on the sea in a tattered state.

At that moment a message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.
[Defeat the threatening marine ancient species.]
[You earn 300 Karma Points.]
[Experience points are automatically distributed to the summoned Nahuel.]
[When a certain number of points are accumulated Youngsu Nahuel evolves into a divine beast.]
‘Nahuel evolves when he gets points? So summoned creatures can also get points?’
It was an unexpected fact.
I thought karma points were only for Zeke’s use.
‘If it works on Nahuel then it can be used on other summons as well. Maybe even on Bahamut which is a growth item…?’
Bahamut a growth weapon currently had most of its power sealed away.
I didn’t know how to grow it so I just left it alone but if I could grow items with Karma Points it seemed like it wouldn’t take as long to release Bahamut’s sealed power.
‘I found out a good fact.’
Zeke returned Nahuel back to his original lake and climbed onto the boat.
But then the smugglers who saw him suddenly started bowing down to Zeke.
“What are you doing all of a sudden?”
Boris who came out of the cabin answered instead.
“They considered the boss who defeated the Kraken to be the descended sea god.”
Zeke chuckled at those words.
“If he was a real sea god such a monster wouldn’t have appeared.”
No matter what Zeke thought the smugglers worshipped him and revered him as a god.
Since there was nothing particularly uncomfortable Zig decided to just leave it alone.
As we were sailing through the calm sea again we noticed that the smugglers had tied one of the floating Kraken’s legs to a rope and were attaching it to the ship.
“What are you packing it for?”
The smugglers responded with the aforementioned expressions to Zeke’s question.
“The meat of large ones is sold at a very high price and is a source of pride. It also tastes good.”
Since the giant kraken wasn’t a demonic beast eroded by magic it seemed like it was okay to just eat it.
I tried the grilled kraken brought by the smugglers and it was much more chewy and flavorful than regular squid.
Just in case I ate the Kraken’s other leg while binge eating but unlike the demons and other ancient species I didn’t acquire any bloodline abilities.
‘I guess I’ll just have to be satisfied with something delicious.’
So the smuggling ship crossed over to the center of the Dead Sea with the Kraken Bridge hanging on.
The smuggling captain said to Zeke.
“I think we should stay on the island tonight replenish our water and food supplies and leave tomorrow.”
As Zeke nodded the captain turned the ship towards the island.
The ship reached the island in the evening and Zeke and his party were able to land on land after a few days.
The smugglers skillfully docked their boats and unloaded crates carrying water and food.
Zeke asked the captain.
“It looks like a deserted island. Is there a place to replenish supplies?”
“Yes. It’s an island that ships traveling through the Sea of Death commonly stop by. Even pirates cannot plunder here and only quietly exchange food and water.”
It seemed like there was a code of conduct unique to sailors.
After finishing his explanation the captain took a few smugglers with him and went to get some more supplies.
Zeke was pulling out camping gear from his inventory and preparing to set up camp for the night.
That was when.
The smugglers who remained on the ship shouted.
“Hey pirates! They’re pirates!”
A dozen pirate ships appeared in the distance.
Zeke who was pondering how to apply karma points to Bahamut got up from his seat at the sound of the smugglers’ shouts.
Boris approached Zeke and said.
“Boss we have a problem.”
“Are you talking about pirates? The captain said that this island is a neutral area with no conflict.”
“That’s how it was originally… Those pirates are known for being rough. The ship in the middle is the captain’s ship.”
“Are you the leader of the pirate force?”
“Yes. The captain leading them is a pirate named Hook and he is currently called the man closest to being the Pirate King.”
Zeke’s expression hardened at the mention of the Pirate King.
‘The Pirate King.’
Hook’s pirate ship soon reached the shore.
Then dozens of pirates boarded small boats and approached the shore.
All of the pirates who showed up had a ferocious appearance and were covered in rough scars and tattoos all over their bodies.
Even among these pirates with such a strong impression there was one man who stood out in particular.
“It feels so fucking good to finally be back on the ground.”
He was a man with a large build looking to be about two meters tall and a distinctive hook-shaped beard.
He was none other than Captain Hook the infamous pirate of the Dead Sea.
Hook and other pirates discovered the smuggling ship and Zeke’s party on the coast.
Hook smirked stroking his beard.
“What the hell are these guys? They’re smugglers they’re kids and they’re also lawbreakers from the mainland.”
Boris stepped forward first as Captain Hook spoke in a threatening voice.
“Captain Hook. I’ve heard of your reputation. We’re on a mission for the Syndicate. I’d like you to just do your own thing and leave.”
At Boris’ words Hook and the other pirates burst out laughing.
“Hahahaha! I wish you would just quietly do your business and leave. Where the hell did you sit down and speak in Southern dialect with that damn ticklish Central Continent accent? What about the Syndicate? Did you think we’d just say “Oh my what’s wrong?” and move on?”
Boris’ expression hardened at Captain Hook’s words.
It seemed like the rough pirates had no intention of letting this go quietly.
Then Zeke who had been watching this stepped forward.
He spoke in a low voice.
“We don’t want to see blood.”
Hook’s expression which had been smiling at Zeke’s sharp voice changed in an instant.
This is because I felt an unusual energy emanating from the body of Zeke who I thought was just a young child.
One of the other pirates next to Hook stepped forward weapon raised.
“What an impertinent brat. Where the hell are you talking about being so cocky? Where did you get any knight training?”
Then he swung the huge axe he was holding at Zeke.
Zeke didn’t dodge the axe that fell on his head but caught it with his bare hands.
Kwajik!
Not only did he catch it he also broke the iron axe’s blade.
“Huh?”
The axe-wielding pirate jumped back in surprise.
All the pirates who saw this drew their weapons and took up a fighting stance.
Captain Hook raised his hand to stop his men.
He opened his mouth to speak to Zeke.
“This is no ordinary knight. Are you really from the syndicate?”
“If you want I can show you my affiliation card.”
“How would we know that if we saw the damn syndicate card? Yeah little brother. What if you refuse to see blood?”
Then Zeke looked at Hook and said.
“You will have the opportunity to treat the famous Captain Hook to some fine drinks.”
Hook looked dumbfounded at those words.
And then he burst into hearty laughter.
“What the hell! Put your weapons down you bastards. I’m going to have a big drink with that reckless little brother today!”
At Captain Hook’s words the pirates lowered their weapons.
The atmosphere changed in an instant.
Hook approached Zeke.
“Brother let me introduce myself formally. My name is James Hook. As you know I am more commonly called Hook.”
“Hello James. This is Zeke Murray.”
“Murray. It’s the first time I’ve heard that name but it looks like it’s going to shake things up soon.”
“Thank you for your kind words. If you don’t mind would you like a drink over here? I have some roasted Kraken and some whiskey hidden away.”
At those words Hook laughed heartily and moved to Zeke’s camp without hesitation.
Boris lit a fire and roasted the kraken’s legs and Zeke served Hook some of the smugglers’ whiskey.
“Whew! This is some pretty good whiskey. It’s definitely something the Central Continent guys make well.”
Zeke asked pouring more whiskey into Hook’s glass.
“Why did the great pirate who stirs up the seas of death come here? I heard that this area is mainly used by smugglers.”
Hook drank his whiskey in one gulp and said:
“It’s all because of those damn guys.”
“What kind of people are they?”
“Yeah. A while ago some guys started acting like pirates in groups. And before I knew it they had grown quite large. I was wondering why the guys who were just digging clams on the island were acting like that and then one of them started a commotion. Damn it.”
“Are you saying that there is a person who has gathered the fishermen into pirates?”
Hook nodded taking another sip of whiskey.
“Yeah. Hey little brother. Have you ever heard the story about Treasure Island?”
“This is my first time hearing about Treasure Island.”
“It’s a famous story among our pirates. It’s said that Captain Kidd the legendary pirate hid all the treasure he had collected throughout his life on an island and that island is somewhere in the Sea of Death.”
“I didn’t know there was such a legend.”
“Brother that’s not the end. There’s a legend that whoever finds Captain Kidd’s treasure island will become the Pirate King.”
At the mention of the Pirate King Zeke’s eyebrows twitched again.
‘The Pirate King. If I remember correctly the name of the Pirate King who drove Sister Carly to her death wasn’t Hook. That guy….’
Hook roared as he chewed on the roasted kraken leg.
“That damn Peter Pan is after that treasure island! How dare he do that while I Captain Hook the great pirate have my eyes wide open!”
