    Episode 111

    “What is this?”

    It was a bundle of chains seen in the video left behind by Terracan Draker.

    Zeke reached out toward the chain.

    [‘Chain of ???’ detected.]

    [The title Terracan Draker’s Heir is activated.]

    [You are registered as the heir of the ‘Chain of ???’]

    Like the ancient Hersion obtained from Cain the chain left behind by the Terracan Draker also had no text with the name obscured by question marks.

    Woohoo!

    For a moment a vibration echoed through the chain.

    At the same time the chain began to glow.

    ‘What what?’

    The bundle of chains rose up on its own like a snake.

    Then he wrapped his gauntleted arm around Zeke’s arm.

    “Ugh!”

    In a sudden situation Zeke grabbed the chain and tried to shake it off his arm but in that moment the chain turned into a halo of light.

    Woohoo!

    The chains that had turned to light passed through the gauntlet and wrapped around Zeke’s arms digging into his skin.

    Zeke felt a burning pain in his arm.

    “Eww!”

    The pain in my chained arms couldn’t be cured even with healing factors.

    Zig fell to the ground clutching his arm and shaking in pain.

    Then at one moment the chain seemed to wrap around Zig’s arm.

    “Euuuuuu!”

    Zeke hastily threw off his gauntlets.

    Cheeeeeeek!

    When Zeke checked right away he saw that there was a chain-like pattern carved into his arm.

    The pattern emitted a red light as if it was on fire but then the light faded and only a faint pattern remained.

    Only then did the burning pain in my arm finally stop.

    “Hoooo.”

    Zeke wiped the cold sweat away and looked at the chain-shaped pattern carved from his left wrist to his shoulder.

    “What the hell is this?”

    A message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

    [The ‘Chain of ???’ has been registered to the user’s soul.]

    [By registering the ‘Chain of ???’ you will acquire the skill ‘Soul Sealing Technique (A-Rank)’.]

    [Documents related to soul sealing will be registered in the ‘Anything’ folder in Terracan Draker’s security vault.]

    “Soul sealing?”

    After Zeke read the message he opened the security vault.

    ―Terracan Draker’s Security Vault―

    1. Organization Operation Manual

    2. Dragon Slayer Manual Ver. 5.21 (Final)

    3. References

    4. A collection of proverbs that will help you grow

    5. Anything

    “Anything? Oh so this is the folder the system said it would create?”

    When I clicked on the word ‘Anything’ I saw a list of lab photos and videos that Zig had saved.

    And there was a new item added to the very bottom list.

    ―Soul Sealing Technique_Final Edition

    Zeke pressed the soul sealing button and examined the contents.

    As seen in the 3D image the technique of using chains to block enemy movements was described in detail.

    “Is this as detailed as the Dragon Slaughter Method?”

    Most knights today use swordsmanship.

    Only the Empire and the Holy Kingdom use swordsmanship with shields and it is extremely rare to see people using spears or bows.

    So there was no way that something like a blockade using chains would remain.

    However it was strange that the fact that the Dragon Slayer Terracan Draker the knight among knights was not only a master of swordsmanship but also a master of this blockade technique was not known at all.

    Zeke held out his left arm as he looked at the contents of the soul sealing technique.

    “Let’s see. If I do this a chain will appear?”

    Zeke struck a pose as if he were throwing a chain.

    Then the inscription on his arm began to glow and a chain suddenly popped out.

    “Wow it really works?”

    Zeke grabbed the chain protruding from his arm and swung it around.

    Phew!

    The chain moved according to Zig’s will extending and contracting.

    Zeke who was trying out the blockade technique left behind by Terracan returned the chains to the pattern.

    “If I learn this properly I’ll be able to catch the demons easily.”

    If you catch a demon you can get a large amount of karma points.

    Since points are useful in many ways it was necessary to hunt demons and collect them whenever I had time.

    Zeke looked satisfied with his unexpected new recruit.

    “I’m glad I got it before the Imperials found it.”

    Since he was already at this point he decided to look for other legacies besides those left by Terracan Draker.

    “Systems: Are there any other places where relics are located besides the defensive base facility here?”

    [Check the facility as per the manager’s order.]

    [Search completed.]

    [An old dragon lair created before the construction of the defense base is detected underground.]

    Zigg was startled by the system’s words.

    “What? Dragon Lair?”

    In response to Zeke’s reaction the system automatically brought up a map indicating the path to Dragon Lair.

    [The current defense base’s movement system is not working. It is possible to move underground through the emergency exit.]

    Zeke looked at the map and found the entrance to the emergency exit in one corner of the defensive base.

    Zig went down the dark emergency exit stairs endlessly.

    “This is my first time seeing a dungeon like this.”

    It seemed that the Join tribe had built a temple on top of Dragon Lair and that the Terracan Draker had built a defensive base there to block the dragons and demons.

    As he went down the stairs and pictured the dungeon’s layout in his head one question occurred to him.

    ‘Come to think of it the dragon known as the coordinator of the world attacked humans with the devil. Does that make sense?’

    In his past memories Bahamut had said that if humans became more powerful through Aura he would kill all humans to restore balance to the world.

    Perhaps Bahamut feeling threatened by a world filled with humans led other dragons and demons to destroy the human world.

    ‘But Bahamut made a contract with Terracan. Something doesn’t add up.’

    I heard from Caesar that when humans and dragons make a contract it is like sharing each other’s souls.

    He called the relationship between a dragon and its contractor an ‘eternal pair’.

    That meant that Terracan Draker and Bahamut were also eternal mates who shared souls.

    However in his past memories Terrakan personally destroyed his contracted dragon Bahamut.

    In Caesar’s words it was ‘absolutely impossible’.

    Zeke was lost in thought as he recalled the scene he had seen in his past memories.

    ‘There’s so little known about Bahamut and even the Terracan Draker that I can’t figure out what’s going on. There’s information but it’s hard to connect the dots.’

    While thinking about this and that Zeke soon came down the stairs to the basement and stood in front of a huge door.

    “Is this the dragon’s lair?”

    It was a gate so large and thick that it could not be compared to any other castle gate.

    Shaking off the immense pressure Zeke slowly extended his hand toward the door.

    [The title ‘Blessed by the Dragon’ has been confirmed.]

    [Unlocks Rare.]

    The door to the lair which had been tightly shut without a single seam slowly opened.

    Zeke looked puzzled as he saw the door open on its own.

    ‘At this point I think there’s no historic site I can’t enter.’

    Zigg was once again surprised by the power of the ‘title’ which he had no idea where to use unlike powers or skills.

    As he walked into the lair Zigg’s mouth dropped open at its scale. It was even more astonishing than when he had seen the temple of the Join tribe.

    Not only was the size of the dragons seen in the 3D images surprising but the lair where those dragons resided boasted a majesty that surpassed imagination.

    Despite being a rare that had been sealed for a long time the floor and pillar walls remained almost intact.

    As we passed through the long and wide corridor admiring its enormous size a large cavity appeared inside.

    “Here?”

    The center of the cavity was hollow and surprisingly refined magic stones were laid out like gravel on the floor.

    “oh my god.”

    The sight of a circular hollow floor covered with magic stones the size of about twenty Valhalla’s great armors attached together was truly spectacular.

    At that moment a letter appeared before my eyes.

    [Connecting to the Rare Control System.]

    [The previous administrator closed Rare so all functions are suspended.]

    [Search for other connection routes.]

    Soon another system character came to mind.

    [The title ‘Sword Master’ has been confirmed.]

    [The message left for the winner is played.]

    Zig was startled when he saw the message that appeared.

    “The successor of the Black Sword? Why all of a sudden?”

    Woohoo!

    In an instant a giant dragon appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

    A blue-eyed gold dragon with two pairs of wings and scales that shine like gold.

    Zeke took a step back as he saw the gold dragon appearing in a three-dimensional image.

    Although it was a 3D image the sense of intimidation was clearly conveyed to Zeke.

    The gold dragon that appeared in 3D looked at Zeke with shining blue eyes.

    The dragon’s voice rang in Zeke’s head.

    “You who have followed in the footsteps of the Black Sword Shaton Drake.”

    Zeke felt Bahamut’s heart beat faster at the sound of the dragon’s voice.

    The voice of the gold dragon continued.

    “My name is Uranus. I am the leader of the Gold Clan. I have been waiting for the Sword Saint’s descendant according to the prophecy of Cronus.”

    ‘The Prophecy of Kronos?’

    Uranus looked at Zeke with deep eyes and said.

    “Shatton Draker entrusted some of the seals left by Kronos to each clan representative including me.”

    After hearing Uranus’ words Zeke then had an idea come to his mind.

    ‘A seal? Could it be the seal of the Kingdom of Kronos?’

    Uranus continued speaking.

    “In order to prevent the fulfillment of the prophecy that Kronos spoke of I leave here a part of the seal and an arrangement for the successor. The successor of the Sword Saint must find the remaining seal and find the truth that Kronos left behind.”

    Woohoo!

    As the video ended Uranus’ body became blurry and then disappeared.

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

    [You have obtained 1/4 of the Seal of the Kingdom of Kronos.]

    [Once all remaining seals are found the reporting coordinates for the Kingdom of Kronos will be activated.]

    Zeke thought deeply recalling the image left behind by Uranus the leader of the gold dragons.

    “The truth that Kronos left behind. Wasn’t the treasury of the Kingdom of Kronos simply a treasure trove?”

    It was unclear what Kronos’ prophecy meant but it seemed like something out of the ordinary given that Black Swordsman Shaton Draker had prepared the arrangements with the leaders of the dragon clans.

    “It’s so far removed from the future I experienced that it feels unrealistic.”

    At that moment another message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

    [The arrangement prepared by Uranus the Guardian of the Sky is paid out.]

    [Arrangement is made according to the user’s ability.]

    [Confirm the title ‘Yongin’.]

    [Acquire the Dragon Tribe skill ‘Dragon Tooth Soldier’.]

    “Dragon disease?”

    Zig checked his skills immediately at the word he heard for the first time.

    -Dragon Clan Skill Information-

    Dragon Tooth Soldier: You can summon soldiers using the dragon’s teeth.

    “You can summon beasts?”

    Zeke took out Bahamut made from dragon teeth.

    Then I tried using the Dragon Tooth Disease skill.

    [Summon Dragon Tooth Soldiers through Black Sword Bahamut.]

    [The maximum number of Dragon Tooth Soldiers that can be summoned at level 3 of the Dragon Tribe skill is 15.]

    [The ability is adjusted with the Heart of Bahamut so it can be summoned up to 20 times.]

    Woohoo!

    Zeke’s shadow spread wide and soldiers in black armor rose from within it.

    Chuck! Chuck! Chuck!

    He had a sword tucked into his side a bow strapped to his back and a spear in his hand.

    Twenty dragon soldiers wearing uniforms that I had never seen before came forward in unison and stood in front of Zig.

    Zig was impressed by the dragon soldiers who each radiated a strong aura even though they were called soldiers.

    “At least to this extent it seems like it’s at least at the level of a yellow inspector?”

    The 20th Yellow Inspector was more than enough to produce the strength of a decent mercenary unit.

    Zeke looked at the dragon soldiers and thought about how he should give orders then gave instructions in his head.

    ‘Everyone turn left.’

    Then all the dragon soldiers turned to the left as if they were one body.

    Zeke nodded with a satisfied expression.

    “It could be useful in a melee. There’s no need to waste other soldiers on exploration or reconnaissance.”

    For Zik who often had to hide his identity and sneak in having the Dragon’s Teeth was a great way to confuse the enemy.

    As soon as the dragon teeth were released they dispersed like black smoke and seeped into Zig’s shadow.

    Zig looked at the magic stones embedded in the floor of the rare and was lost in thought.

    “Hmm I guess I can dig them all up and take them with me.”

    At that moment a message appeared in red letters before Zeke’s eyes.

    [The lair is now completely closed by order of the previous administrator.]

    [The lair will soon self-destruct so open the emergency escape portal and get outside.]

    [Start counting.]

    “What? Automatic detonation?”
