Dragonslayer’s Class Regression 205

Chapter 205

“CHAHA!”

The Fisher Knight threw his net forcefully towards the demon beast.

SWOOSH!

The tightly woven net stretched towards the demon beast, moving as if alive while wrapping around their limbs.

GRRRR!

As the Minotaur-like demon beast fell caught in the net, the Fisher Knight leaped into the air and pierced its neck with his spear.

SLASH!

The demon beast hit by the spear turned to ashes and scattered.

The Fisher Knight gathered his net and slung it over his shoulder.

Then he aimed his spear again while glaring at the demon beasts.

“You demon beasts! The most honorable knight of Chronos! Do you think you can avoid my shining spear blade, I, Reyes!”

He raised his spear high and raised his voice further.

“Shining helmet and sturdy armor! The procession of sharp spear blades resembling scales! Behold! Wetting their throats with demon beast blood! The majesty of these brave knights who use their screams as lullabies!”

Hearing Reyes’ shout, Arataso spoke in a mocking voice.

[Such an amateur attempt at rhythm. If it were me, I would have matched the sonnet’s meter more elegantly…]

“Arataso, stop with the unnecessary comments.”

The Fisher Knight Reyes, one of the Clock Tower Knights, was famous as an excellent knight who mastered the spear and as a poet.

The epic poems and sonnets of the Hero King that he was said to have recited were still popular among the central nobles and knights.

Zeke observed him carefully, thinking he never expected to hear Reyes’ famous sonnets in person.

“Could that really be Reyes’ spirit? Just who created this tower for the spirits of the Clocktower Knights to linger here?”

If Reyes’ spirit body remained, there was a possibility that other Clock Tower Knights’ spirit bodies existed as well.

‘Hero Tyr’s spirit body might be here too. This might be fortunate. I can ask directly about the shield that’s presumed to be a holy relic.’

While organizing his thoughts and watching Reyes catch and kill demon beasts with his net, he felt an ominous energy approaching.

Arataso also seemed to sense that energy and spoke first.

[This is the energy of the Tuma clan.]

RUMBLE!

Something approached as the forest shook as if it would collapse.

GRRRRRR!

A giant demon beast resembling a yeti approached while roaring.

But what was surprising was that someone was riding on top of that demon beast.

A being holding chains wrapped around the demon beast’s neck.

A foreign being wearing solid black armor all over their body and glowing red eyes under their helmet looked down at Reyes.

[How dare a human enter this place. Are you seeking your own death?]

Because the system translated the demon realm language, Zeke could understand what the demon was saying.

But Reyes didn’t seem to understand what the demon was saying.

He shouted while swinging his net.

“Finally you show yourself, demon! Those eyes like they contain purgatory’s flames! How ominous! How blasphemous!”

At Reyes’ words, the demon jumped down from the demon beast’s head.

THUD!

Zeke silently gauged the Tuma clan member’s level.

“Strong. At least at the level of a Red Knight. Arataso, what level would this be among demons?”

Then Arataso replied as if it was nothing. As Zeke asked inwardly, he also responded inwardly.

[At that level, they’d be among the stronger lower-rank demons.]

Zeke frowned at Arataso’s answer.

Lower-rank demons could come to the physical realm without being restricted by karma. This meant that when gates opened, hundreds or thousands of strong beings at this level could pour out.

“Both during the Hero King’s time and the Liberation War, it’s amazing they fought these kinds of beings.”

The lower-rank demon stared at Reyes and quietly raised both hands towards their chest.

SHING!

Black blades protruded from their wrists.

They glared at Reyes and opened their mouth.

[Human, for the crime of defiling this domain with your presence. Pay with your death.]

In that moment, the demon’s form disappeared leaving only afterimages.

“HUH!”

Reyes exclaimed in surprise and spread the net that was hanging on his shoulder.

SWISH!

The net spread out low and wide.

WHOOSH!

The demon who was rushing in leaving afterimages jumped up after stepping on the net.

Then they swung their sword down towards Reyes from mid-air.

CLASH!

A strong shockwave spread in all directions as the demon’s sword and Reyes’ spear collided.

The armored demon retreated back with incredibly light movements.

Reyes’ expression while holding his spear was concerning.

Zeke noticed that Reyes had received internal injuries.

“Arataso, is that demon using Strong wave resonance?”

To Zeke’s question, Arataso replied with a snicker.

[How could a lower-rank demon like that use Strong wave resonance? They’re just imitating aura techniques. Though it’s probably better than the aura that humans use.]

Though Arataso’s arrogant voice was unpleasant, Zeke had no choice but to let it go since he couldn’t use the holy fire skill.

“So that level is considered strong among lower-rank demons.?”

[Hmm, first of all they’re Two-Demon tribe. That’s how we should look at it. Among demons, depending on the tribe, some only use magic or sorcery, and when you get to the higher ranks, there are plenty who use extraordinary techniques depending on their master’s power, so it’s hard to standardize them as this or that.]

While Zeke was talking with Arataso, the demon was unleashing attacks toward Reyes.

“URGH!”

When Reyes tried to retreat, the demon beast stood firm and blocked his movement.

GRRRRRR!

Watching Reyes being attacked from both sides, Zeke rose from his seat.

“He must have spirit techniques, but I should save him first. He could be helpful.”

Zeke drew Bahamut and charged toward the demon beast brought by the demon.

WHOOSH!

The sword imbued with aura sliced through the demon beast’s leg as it passed.

KRAAAAAAH!

The demon beast let out an agonized scream.

Zeke pulled out chains from his left arm and wrapped them around the demon beast’s other leg.

CRUNCH!

The demon beast, with its movement sealed, thrashed about in panic trying to break free from the chains, but it couldn’t escape the soul sealing technique.

KRAAAH!

Zeke pulled the chain, dragging the demon beast’s body downward.

“HYAAAAH!”

He took the dragon slaying technique’s basic stance and swung his sword toward the demon beast’s head.

Dragon Slaying Technique Dragon Sword Form

Chapter 7 Section 2

Dragon Head Pierce

The powerful sword strike pierced through the demon beast’s head.

BOOM!

The demon beast, receiving an unexpected attack, collapsed right there.

Reyes was startled seeing Zeke’s sudden appearance.

“Good heavens! Sethon, Knight of Nobility! I knew you would come to help me!”

Hearing Reyes’s words, Zeke was taken aback.

‘Sethon? Did he mistake me for the Sword Saint?’

Reyes approached Zeke’s direction and took a stance.

“Demons with blue blood! Behold the swords and spears of the shining knights! Let nobility drive away the darkness that has fallen upon this land!”

Reyes took a stance to throw his net while spinning it.

Seeing this, the demon looked at the fallen demon beast and then gazed down at the two with cold eyes.

He took a step forward.

Then, suddenly something burst out from behind the demon’s armor.

CHING!

Four black blades moved like insect legs.

RUMBLE!

An ominous energy rose from the demon’s body after extending the blades.

It was an energy that seemed to mix demon energy and martial techniques..

That’s when Arataso spoke in surprise.

[‘Huh? Six Demon martial technique? This was a lost technique in the demon realm, I can’t believe it remained in the mortal realm.’]

Zeke asked Arataso about his comment.

“Is this a technique you know, Arataso?”

[It’s quite a tricky fighting technique for a low-rank demon to use.]

Before Arataso could finish speaking, the demon moved first.

WHOOSH!

The demon began circling around Zeke and Reyes faster than before, leaving afterimages.

WHOOSH!

The demon’s speed increased the more it ran. At one point, Arataso shouted.

[Six Demon martial arts is a speed fighting technique! If you don’t block it now, it’ll get faster!]

Hearing Arataso’s words, Zeke stepped forward holding Bahamut.

SWISH!

Simultaneously, chains extended from Zeke’s left hand.

WHOOSH!

Not just being simply fast, the demon avoided the chain Zeke threw and charged toward him.

WHOOSH!

In an instant, four blades swept toward Zeke.

BANG!

Zeke stepped back and used Strong wave resonance while holding his sword.

WOONG!

The wave that rose from Zeke’s body shook the space and deflected the demon’s attack.

CRUNCH!

At the same time, the demon’s black blades scraped against Bahamut’s blade surface and passed by sideways.

Then it changed direction and charged toward Reyes who was behind.

SLASH!

Four blades carrying even faster speed than before swooped down on Reyes.

Zeke watched this and leaped forward with a frustrated look.

“Damn, too late.”

At that moment, Reyes took a stance toward the demon charging at him. Simultaneously, his armor flashed brightly.

RATTLE!

The surface of Reyes’s armor instantly rose like scales.

SWOOSH!

Countless scales flew toward the charging demon.

The demon, running at tremendous speed, couldn’t block the scale pieces shot from close range and had to collide with them head-on.

PAPAPAK!

It tried to block the scales using the four blades protruding from its back and the blades that emerged from its arms, but there were too many to block them all.

The sharp scales embedded themselves in the demon’s limbs.

[KRAAH!]

The demon let out a painful cry before staggering and falling in place.

Right after, Reyes immediately rushed in and threw the net toward the fallen demon.

SWOOSH!

When the net wrapped around its body, the demon’s movement was restrained.

Reyes smiled with satisfaction.

“Got you, you beast!”

That’s when it happened.

The demon’s eyes glowed as if burning red.

WOONG!

Zeke felt an ominous wave gathering in the demon’s body.

“It’s going to self-destruct.”

Zeke hurriedly imbued Strong wave resonance and threw his sword toward the fallen demon.

WHOOSH!

Bahamut pierced the heart of the demon that was trying to self-destruct by overloading its demon energy.

STAB!

[KUHAK!]

The demon’s body slumped while bleeding blue blood. The surging waves also gradually subsided.

Soon, the dead demon’s body turned to ash.

“PHEW.”

Thanks to the infinite stamina skill, the fatigue was much less.

Zeke exhaled once and approached where Reyes was.

“Fisher Knight. Reyes.”

Then Reyes took off his helmet.

A man with long hair and a beard.

Surprisingly, Reyes looked very similar to his traditionally described appearance.

Reyes spread his arms and embraced Zeke.

“Sethon Draker! Knight of Nobility! I knew you were a knight who understood honor.”

For some reason, Reyes seemed to recognize Zeke as Sethon Draker.

‘Is he mistaking me for the Sword Saint because I used the True Dragon Sword Technique.’

Reyes patted Zeke’s shoulder, smiled, and retrieved his net.

“After Kaisir left, it felt like everyone lost something. Even Tyr went back to Kreta.”

Hearing Reyes’s words, Zeke realized the current situation was after Hero King Kaisir had departed for the fairy realm.

Zeke decided to play along with Reyes.

“Reyes, I came here because I was worried about you, but why did you come here specifically?”

Reyes looked at Zeke and said.

“Someone had to come, didn’t they? Even if we crossed swords with them before.”

“What do you mean?”

“The Dark Elves. They were certainly our enemies. But that doesn’t mean it’s okay for them to become sacrifices for demon summoning.”

Hearing Reyes’s words, Zeke was shocked by the completely unexpected information.

“Dark Elves are sacrifices for demon summoning?”

Zeke pretended not to know and asked Reyes again.

“You’re not wrong… So, who was summoning demons using them as sacrifices?”

At those words, Reyes made a strange expression and said to Zeke.

“Are you alright today? You were the one who discovered that the Dark Elves were being offered as sacrifices.”

As the real Sethon, this was news to Zeke.

That’s when Reyes spoke through gritted teeth.

“It’s hard to believe. To think Jiemens would dabble in forbidden magic and eventually join hands with orcs to summon demons.”

Reyes continued with a heavy expression.

“To think this would be the price of ignoring Bahamut’s warning.”
