Dragonslayer’s Class Regression 289

Chapter 289

‘A divine body of the constellation?’

At that moment, cracks began to form on the ice statue in front of Zeke’s eyes.

KWAJIJIK!

Ice crystals fell, causing Zeke to step back.

KUGUGUGU!

Turning around at the sudden sound, he saw the opened door closing.

KUNG!

“Oh no…”

The ice statue had completely shattered, and a divine body with a light blue skin began to rise.

The divine body stretched out two pairs of wings.

Wings that looked like they were carved from crystal shimmered with a beautiful light.

Zeke felt an unusual energy from the divine body.

‘Neither human nor demon, what exactly is this?’

The divine body raised its head and slowly moved its six hands.

Simultaneously, it pursed its lips and looked at the ceiling.

UUUUUU!

A sound beyond human hearing spread throughout the hall.

“KKEUUK!”

At that moment, cracks began to form on the ice statues standing from the entrance.

Richmond looked shocked, staring at the ice statues.

“M-Master! Those ice statues are coming to life!”

KWAJIK!

The ice statues shattered, and warriors in armor rose from within.

KUGUNG!

Warriors with thick armor and face-covering helmets exuded a menacing aura as they raised their weapons.

The weapons varied from greatswords to battle axes, spears, and iron clubs.

Zeke shouted towards the bewildered Richmond.

“Richmond! Summon a wall!”

Following Zeke’s command, Richmond quickly summoned a bone wall.

KWADEUDEUK!

In an instant, a bone wall appeared, blocking Zeke and the warriors.

Zeke raised a sacred weapon outside the bone wall.

As the sacred weapon, imbued with the power of light, arose, the warriors hesitated to approach with their weapons.

At that moment, the divine body, the Queen of Ice, floated in the air and slowly approached Zeke.

After equipping Hersion, Zeke turned towards the Queen of Ice.

He approached the Queen of Ice floating in the air.

The Queen of Ice stopped mid-air.

Suddenly, a voice rang in Zeke’s head.

[????????????????]

The system could not interpret the words.

It was similar to what Hades had said before.

‘Back then, the system said it was an extinct language.’

As Zeke seemed unable to understand, the voice in his head changed.

[You’re just a lowly human who can’t understand the divine language.]

The Queen of Ice spoke in ancient Chronos language, which the system translated.

Zeke spoke to the Queen of Ice.

“You’re said to be a sealed divine body. You don’t seem to be a demon. What exactly are you?”

At Zeke’s words, a slight vibration occurred on the Queen of Ice’ body.

She finally turned her head and looked down at Zeke.

[How presumptuous for a human. To you, we are no different from insects crawling on the ground. How dare you ask such an impertinent question?.]

The Queen of Ice stretched out all six of her hands and wings and continued.

[Although you are but an insect, I will show mercy for breaking my seal and not kill you. Kneel down and worship me immediately. Otherwise, I will withdraw my mercy, and your lowly red blood will freeze entirely.]

The Queen of Ice descended from the air and stood in front of Zeke.

Lifting her chin and standing upright, her posture seemed to demand immediate worship.

Zeke called out to Arataso while looking at the Queen of Ice.

‘’Arataso.’’

Arataso, now completely settled in the green sword, responded to Zeke’s call.

[‘What? I was sleeping well’]

‘The being in front of me. It doesn’t seem to be a demon, but what is it?’

[‘I can’t see well from inside. Take me out.’]

Zeke took out the green sword from his inventory.

Arataso vibrated and shouted loudly.

[W-what is that?]

‘I asked you, so how will you answer?’

[No, that’s not it… That’s a Nephilim! How are they still around?]

‘Nephilim?’

It was a term Zeke had never heard before.

[That is a being born from the ‘sacred blood’ of the constellation!]

At that moment, the Queen of Ice looked down at Zeke and spoke.

[Lowly human, you do not appreciate the mercy I’ve shown.]

She spread her wings and flew into the air.

[I will start by killing you and then exterminate all these lowly humans. Then that damn Kaisir will surely raise his filthy face and come looking for me.]

‘Kaisir?’

Zeke suddenly recalled something in his mind.

It was one of the most famous episodes from the Hero King Kaisir’s legends about the ‘White Witch’ – a story of how the witch who brought winter froze the land and water, causing people to suffer, until Hero King Kaisir and the Clock Tower knights went to the witch’s castle, defeated the evil White Witch, and brought back spring.

‘Could this divine body be the White Witch?’

The Chronicles of Kaisir also mentioned the White Witch.

‘His master had been a bit annoyed about catching her because of the cold.’

The Queen of Ice’ body floating in the air turned white, and simultaneously a snowstorm began to rage.

JJEOJEOJUNG!

Everything swept by the snowstorm transformed into ice crystals.

Zeke raised his sacred weapon to protect himself.

Even with the sacred weapon and Hersion activated, he could feel the Queen of Ice’ cold energy seeping into his body.

‘This is an incredible cold.’

Zeke turned to run towards the bone wall where Richmond was.

However, the bone wall had already frozen, losing its defensive capabilities.

Fortunately, the undead weren’t at risk of dying, but their movement speed had visibly slowed down.

Richmond shouted towards Zeke.

“Master! I can’t see anything!”

At that moment, warriors who had awakened from the ice statues charged towards Richmond and the undead.

GEOEOEOEO!

Emitting grotesque screams, the warriors attacked the dragon warriors.

One of them also charged at Zeke.

A heavy iron club flew towards Zeke.

KWAJIK!

Zeke blocked the iron club with Roland.

“HAAAH!”

With the sacred weapon raised, Zeke bisected the warrior along with the iron club.

KUNG!

Interestingly, no blood flowed from the warrior’s upper body when it fell.

Ice crystals gathered and attached to the warrior’s upper and lower body, causing the warrior to multiply into two.

‘What the hell…?!’

The two warriors who had risen again charged at Zeke.

Zeke struck them with a light mace.

KWAKKWAKKWAKKWANG!

The powerful light mace shattered the warriors’ bodies.

But soon, ice crystals gathered again, creating even more warriors than before.

‘I need to take out the divine body, not these warriors.’

As Zeke tried to turn towards the Queen of Ice, dozens of ice golems and several ice kings appeared.

KKEAAAAAAAA!

The ice kings approached Zeke with spine-chilling screams.

Zeke retreated while swinging the light mace.

KWAGWAGWANG!

After the light mace devastated the surroundings, Zeke could barely escape.

Looking around, he saw Richmond and the undead struggling to hold back the charging warriors.

“My lord! We’re about to be overwhelmed!”

Zeke immediately summoned the Cayman and Gurab squads.

KAAAA!

Gurab swung his massive tail, smashing the charging warriors against the wall.

The continuous cold was the real problem.

He gradually felt his body becoming sluggish.

Then a thought crossed Zeke’s mind.

‘What if I apply Defense Mode here?’

Zeke quickly shouted.

“Richmond! Create the wall again!”

Richmond gathered his magic and created a bone wall.

Zeke activated Defense Mode through the system and established the area.

[Confirming Defense Area.]

[Updating area information.]

[Detecting abnormal temperature within the area.]

[Adjusting abnormal temperature in conjunction with user’s sacred weapon skill and magic reflection.]

UUUUNG!

A spherical sacred weapon formed within the bone wall defense area, preventing the cold from invading.

As the cold disappeared, Zeke felt his body rapidly recovering.

KUNG! KUNG!

The system screen displayed the Defense Area information.

The wall’s durability was gradually decreasing.

‘System, is there a way to defend in this situation?’

[By utilizing the Guardian among the user’s summons, defense power can be increased.]

Zeke had Guardians Horus from the Celestial Sanctuary, and Idas and Lynceus from Death Valley.

‘Can I use the Guardians now?’

[Operation is possible within limited range.]

Following the system’s guidance, Zeke summoned the Guardians.

UUUUNG!

Guardians Horus of the Sky Tribe and twin Guardians Idas and Lynceus revealed themselves.

[Synchronizing Guardians with Defense Mode.]

Horus moved first, positioning himself near the bone wall. As he fixed his position, his pupils began to shimmer with a red light.

JIIIIIING!

Suddenly, a red light beam burst from Horus’s eyes.

Simultaneously, the ice golems and ice bones attacking the wall instantly melted and disappeared.

The twin Guardians Idas and Lynceus climbed onto the bone wall, fixed themselves, created bows, and began shooting arrows of light.

KWAKKWAKKWANG!

The light arrows exploded, sweeping away all the surrounding monsters.

Zeke was stunned by the Guardians’ defensive power.

‘So this is how Defense Mode works.’

Using Defense Mode in a proper fortress would be incredibly powerful.

The problem was the massive mana consumption required to maintain the Guardians and Defense Mode.

‘No time. I’ll handle this quickly.’

Zeke told Richmond,

“Keep the monsters contained while I attack the divine body.”

“Understood, my lord!”

Zeke reactivated Hersion and flew out of the Defense Area with dragon wings.

Cold energy wrapped around him again.

Zeke extended his hand, using magic sealing technique to deflect the cold.

Something flew towards him from the air.

KKEAAAAK!

An Ice King riding an ice bird pointed his staff at Zeke.

HUUUUNG!

A cold wind mixed with ice blades flew towards him.

Zeke controlled his firepower and created blue flames.

HWAREUREURUCK!

He sent a sword strike containing the firepower field.

KWAKKWAKKWAKKWAK!

Blue flames engulfed the cold wind, melting the Ice King.

The Queen of Ice appeared in the ice storm.

[Those flames… Could they be Kaisir’s cursed flames?!]

Zeke charged with his sword, shouting,

“This time, I’ll erase your entire existence, not just seal you!”

HWAREUREURUCK!

Blue flames flew towards the Queen of Ice.

She waved her two pairs of wings.

[Ridiculous! I’ll crush you like an insect!]

Six ice spears materialized in her hands, simultaneously flying at Zeke.

JJEOJEOJUNG!

The air froze, making the ice spears sharper and larger as they flew.

Zeke raised the output of his firepower field, consuming massive mana while maintaining the Defense Area and summoned creatures.

The flame around Roland changed, becoming pure white flame.

HWAREUREURUCK!

A blinding flash erupted as white flame wrapped Roland.

He struck the incoming ice spears with a sword strike infused with white flame.

HWAREUREURUCK!

The white flame, like a bird, instantly melted the six ice spears and flew towards the Queen of Ice.

HWAREUREURUCK!

The white flame bird attached to and burned one of her arms.

[AAAAAAAK!]

Zeke didn’t miss the opportunity.

He switched from Roland to Bahamut, generating energy.

UUUUNG!

Astral Sword’s energy gathered on his sword.

Zeke took the infinite sword technique stance.

Astral Sword—the sword of origin that cuts essence—embedded its power in Bahamut.

Zeke lunged towards the Queen of Ice.
