Dragonslayer’s Class Regression 231

Chapter 231

Dragon Slaying Technique: Adapted Form

Black Sword Technique

Black Wind

A black wind swirled from Zeke’s sword.

Poseidon, who had offset the dragon’s breath, immediately thrust his spear towards the black wind.

KWAKWAKWAKWAKWA!

The intangible force erupting from the spear offset the black wind.

Poseidon exclaimed in admiration, looking at Zeke, who had broken through the wall and reached a new realm.

‘He really broke through the wall.’

It took Terakan Draker over a thousand days to break through the wall.

Yet Zeke had surpassed the wall with just a moment of realization.

‘Indeed. Survival instinct can sometimes display a more terrifying power than any talent.’

Poseidon himself was one of those.

Among dragons wielding absolute power, he had silently wielded only a spear for thousands of years.

However, he ultimately transcended the dragon’s limits, and even Shadow Dragon Bahamut, who was praised as the strongest among dragons, could not withstand his spear.

Poseidon, who received the title of Divine Dragon, could only be properly matched by the Hero King.

Poseidon tried to retrieve his spear after offsetting Zeke’s black sword technique.

Then something surprising happened.

The black wind, which he thought was completely offset, came back to life and wrapped around Poseidon’s body.

‘What is this?’

KWAKWAKWAKWAKWA!

Like a small spark rekindling, Zeke’s black sword technique stubbornly came back to life.

Poseidon was genuinely amazed by the intangible energy creating a black storm around his body.

‘Not just the power of survival, but the force of immortality itself.’

Power always reflected the spirit of its wielder.

Poseidon smiled and raised his spear high before striking the ground.

JJEONG!

The intangible force he unleashed instantly erased the black storm.

Poseidon, who was floating in the air, slowly descended to the ground.

Landing with composure, he looked at Zeke.

Zeke stood holding his sword, unconscious.

He had literally exhausted all his power and exceeded his own limits.

Poseidon approached Zeke.

He was amazed by his pure yet intense aspiration.

Poseidon, looking at Zeke, struck his spear on the ground.

Then a brilliant light flashed from the spirit regeneration device and enveloped the entire space.

* * *

“Huh?”

Zeke, who regained consciousness, raised his body and jumped up from his seat.

‘What’s going on?’

Zeke was surprised because the surroundings were completely different from where he had been before losing consciousness.

Instead of a clean artificial facility, he was now in a natural space with a mystical atmosphere, blending grass, trees, and a small lake.

It seemed that during his unconsciousness, the Sea God’s trial had ended, and he had been moved to another space.

‘Have I returned to the island?’

But the atmosphere was too different to be the Sea God’s island.

It was like a utopian world from mythology.

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

[You have an unconfirmed message.]

‘What’s this?’

Zeke immediately checked the message.

[You have overcome the Sea God’s trial.]

[You have received recognition from Divine Dragon Poseidon.]

[Your passive skill ‘Sturdy Mental Defense’ has evolved to ‘Indomitable Will’.]

[You have invented a new special technique ‘Black Sword Technique’.]

[You have pioneered a new realm by transcending your limits.]

[Your soul’s level has increased.]

[Proficiency of special skill ‘Soul Technique’ has increased.]

[Proficiency of special skill ‘Sacred Flame Technique’ has increased.]

[Proficiency of special skill ‘Infinite Chain technique’ has increased.]

[Proficiency of active skill ‘Purification Blade’ has increased.]

“Pioneered a new realm?”

Zeke finally realized that his senses were different from usual.

He stood up and raised his hand.

He felt he could now use Aura even without Bahamut.

Zeke concentrated energy on the edge of his hand.

WOOWOOONG!

Surprisingly, an Aura Blade truly sprouted from his hand.

“This is possible. I’ve really broken through the wall…!”

Zeke had finally reached the black knight realm he had long awaited.

With a somewhat bewildered mind, he raised Aura Blades on both hands and moved his body.

CHAAAAK!

Aura Blades extended from both hands, unfolding the Infinite Chain technique.

Only after reaching the black knight realm did Zeke fully understand what Fab’s insight meant.

‘The sword is merely an extension of the hand.’

His body began moving automatically, and all the techniques he had learned started to merge.

Dragon Slaying Technique Flowed into Golden Swordsmanship, transitioned into the Infinite Chain Technique, and then became the Sun Sword Technique.

Zeke finally understood the meaning of Sethon Draker’s ‘All Flows Returning to the Origin’.

While swinging both hands, the forms of the sword techniques he had learned gradually disappeared and merged into one.

And at one moment, a message appeared.

[You have comprehended the essence of All Flows Returning to the Origin.]

[Special Techniques Dragon sashaying Technique, Infinite Chain technique, Strong Wave Resonance, and Black Sword Technique combine into one.]

[Special Technique Infinite Sword Technique (SS-grade) has been created.]

BOOM!

Zeke’s foot stomped on the ground.

He felt completely different sensations compared to before.

“Infinite Sword Technique. I’ve transcended the form of the Participating Dragon Slaying Technique.”

For him, who had become a black knight, the form of swordsmanship was already meaningless.

Because he himself was no different from the will of the sword.

Just as Zeke was savoring the newly created Infinite Sword Technique.

CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!

Applause was heard from somewhere.

When he turned his head towards the sound, someone was clapping while looking at Zeke from a tree.

‘I couldn’t sense their presence?’

Despite clearly existing on the tree, their presence was difficult to detect.

They wore an unfamiliar style of clothing, and their hair, eyebrows, and even face were glowing pure white.

With deer antlers on their head, their appearance made it impossible to determine whether they were a boy or a girl.

The mysterious being looked at Zeke with a pure, childlike smile.

[The Forgotten Sea God curiously observes the Immortal.]

‘Forgotten Sea God?’

Zeke recalled Poseidon, who had been beating him up just moments ago. He had called himself a manifestation of the Sea God.

‘Is this the real body of the Sea God?’

The Sea God, who had now descended to the ground beneath the tree, stared intently at Zeke, tilting his head.

Then he poked Zeke’s arm and, seemingly pleased, let out a giggling laugh and clapped.

[The Forgotten Sea God feels fond of the Immortal.]

[The Forgotten Sea God tells the Immortal to follow.]

The Forgotten Sea God had already run far away.

Zeke used flight to pursue, but strangely, the distance between them did not narrow.

Maintaining a consistent interval, the Forgotten Sea God led Zeke somewhere into the forest.

He followed the Forgotten Sea God deeper into the woods.

And at one moment, the Forgotten Sea God stopped somewhere.

It was quite a steep cliff.

An old, large tree extended along the cliff.

[The Forgotten Sea God gestures for the Immortal to look where he is pointing.]

‘What does he want me to see?’

Zeke looked at what the Forgotten Sea God was pointing at with his finger.

At first, he thought it was pointing to the cliff.

But looking again, that wasn’t the case.

‘A tree? Wait, it’s not a tree.’

Zeke moved closer to the cliff. Upon careful examination, it was not a tree.

It was the massive form of a dragon, collapsed and leaning against the cliff.

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

[Found the trace of the Forgotten Sea God.]

[Achievement mission completed.]

[Reward: 1,000 Karma Points granted.]

[Reward: Acquired the title ‘Blessing of the Sea God’.]

[Reward: Acquired the Sea God’s Treasure.]

‘What is this?’

Surprisingly, the dragon-shaped form, hardened like wood, was the trace of the Forgotten Sea God.

The Forgotten Sea God beside him pointed to the dragon’s form and then pointed to himself.

Zeke asked the Forgotten Sea God:

“Is that Poseidon himself?”

[The Forgotten Sea God nods, confirming the Immortal’s words.]

[The Forgotten Sea God gestures to follow.]

The Forgotten Sea God’s body floated in the air and then directly entered the dragon’s form.

‘Most people wouldn’t be able to follow even if they discovered this…’

Zeke shook his head and used the dragon’s wing to fly towards where the Sea God had entered.

The Sea God entered through a hole in the side of the massive body.

WHOOSH!

Following the Sea God into the hole, he could now examine the interior in detail. The dragon’s form was hardened like a solid fossil, seemingly having been there for an incredibly long time.

‘What on earth happened here?.’

Looking at the child-like Poseidon gesturing to him, Zeke wondered if he had lost his original body and divine powers, leaving only his spirit able to move.

The Forgotten Sea God continued to gesture to Zeke, pointing somewhere.

Zeke broke from his thoughts and turned his head, examining the area according to the Sea God’s gestures.

Upon careful observation, a giant, lusterless crystal was on the wall.

Unfamiliar characters and diagrams were densely written around the crystal, with something embedded in its center.

‘What is this?’

Pushing aside the branches, he discovered a spear deeply embedded in the wall.

The Forgotten Sea God pointed to the spear embedded in the wall.

Then he clutched near his heart, showing a pained expression.

“Did this harm you?”

[The Forgotten Sea God nods in confirmation.]

Seeing the spear that harmed the Sea God, a thought flashed through Zeke’s mind.

‘God Slayer?’

The king who killed constellation beings and became corrupted, falling to become the king of fallen constellations.

The power of the God Killer seemed to have been embedded in the Sea God’s dragon heart, sealing him.

Zeke slowly approached the wall and grasped the spear.

‘Did he bring me here to show me this?’

As if confirming Zeke’s thoughts, the Forgotten Sea God stared intently at Zeke holding the spear.

Then he made various hand gestures and shook his head.

[The Forgotten Sea God says that the spear absolutely cannot be removed.]

It was the spear of God Killer directly stabbed into the dragon heart.

Zeke nodded after hearing the Sea God’s words.

“Indeed, the God Slayer’s spear wouldn’t come out easily…”

Swoosh!

“Huh?”

When Zeke applied force while speaking, the God Killer’s spear embedded in the dragon heart easily came out.

The Forgotten Sea God beside him jumped in surprise, bouncing in the air.

Simultaneously, a message appeared.

[The Forgotten Sea God is surprised by an unbelievable event.]

[The God Slayer’s spear piercing the Forgotten Sea God’s heart has been removed.]

[The Forgotten Sea God has regained his divine status.]

Rumble rumble rumble!

As Zeke completely pulled out the spear, the dragon heart began to shake dramatically.

WOOOONG!

Light gradually returned to the dragon heart that had lost its radiance.

Then the Forgotten Sea God’s body began to glow brightly.

The child-like body grew, gradually becoming larger until it reached a familiar physique.

It resembled the Poseidon Zeke had seen before, with the only difference being the antlers on his head.

[The Forgotten Sea God’s divine status is liberated.]

[Sea God Poseidon partially recovers his divinity.]

[Due to Sea God Poseidon’s influence, the unstable sea areas of the South Sea gradually stabilize.]

[Monsters existing in the sea areas have their actions restricted.]

Zeke was bewildered by the emerging messages. He had inadvertently released the sealed Sea God’s divine status.

Poseidon, who had recovered his divinity, approached Zeke.

WOOOONG!

Poseidon smiled at Zeke, sparkling with an even more brilliant light than before.

[Sea God Poseidon expresses gratitude to the Immortal.]

[Sea God Poseidon delivers a reward to the Immortal.]

Poseidon broke off one of the antlers from his head and placed it in Zeke’s hand.

[Sea God Poseidon says he will pray for the Immortal’s safety and peace on the path he wishes to travel.]

[Acquired Sea God Poseidon’s body part.]

[Title ‘Blessing of the Sea God’ changes to ‘Glory of the Sea God’.]

[Due to the title ‘Glory of the Sea God’, active skill ‘Underwater Breathing (C-grade)’ transforms to ‘Amphibious (B-grade)’.]

[Sea God’s Treasure transforms into Sea God’s Sacred Artifact.]

‘Not a treasure, but a sacred artifact?’

Simultaneously, Zeke felt the Sea God’s power settling into his body and wrapping around him.

‘What an incredible power. Is this the power of a Sea God?’

At that surprising moment, suddenly Zeke’s vision flashed.

When Zeke blinked and regained his senses, an entirely different scene was unfolding.
