A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 154



Episode 154

The wizard of the abyss sneered at those words.

“You damned squire of Draker. I will give you the most painful death… kekekeke!”

As the power of corruption was activated the wizard’s whole body twisted in necrotic pain.

Zeke threw the bastard away without hesitation and asked another wizard.

The wizard of the abyss trembled and tried to commit suicide by eating poison.

But he wasn’t the type to just leave it like that. He fed him an antidote before the poison could spread throughout his body and then he interrogated him again.

But as expected he didn’t say anything and Zeke foolishly used the power of corruption.

The two remaining wizards were terrified when they saw the two wizards melt and die.

One of them finally raised his hand.

“I will tell you! But we have a ban.”

Zeke recalled how one of the wizards of the Abyss had once said a word from the Book of the Dead and was eaten by worms that emerged from his body and died.

“I guess I’m destined to die the moment I say something important.”

The wizard nodded and said.

“Yes that’s right. The apostle gave us a golden offering…”

Then another wizard next to him ran towards him.

“You damn rascal! Are you planning to sacrifice our souls as well?”

A wizard rushed in and tried to strangle another wizard by force.

Then Zeke ran up and cut off the wizard’s head.

thud!

Zig cast a curse reflection skill as an area buff on the last remaining wizard while he was waiting.

“It’ll be okay now. Tell me about the apostle who put the gold standard on.”

The wizard of the abyss clutched his neck and groped in fear.

“The Apostle… Huh? Huh?”

For a moment veins bulged on the wizard’s face.

“Oh no!”

Phew!

Before he could even finish answering the wizard’s head suddenly exploded.

Zeke frowned as he looked at the traces of the wizard’s head sticking out in all directions.

Even the curse reflection could not stop the golden rule set by the Apostle of the Abyss.

“Those crazy guys. What kind of taboo is this….”

Zeke clenched his teeth as he looked at the debris flying around.

“Apostle…..”

The identity of the place called Narak was still a mystery.

Zeke finished clearing out the wizards of the Abyss and called Richmond.

Richmond despite being rich had a haggard look on his face and was thin.

“Ugh ugh. I’m going to die Master.”

Zeke looked at Richmond in bewilderment then took out the artifact he had obtained by eliminating Archlich and Death Knight and checked it.

-Crown Information-

Description: An old crown worn by Archlich.

Unique Ability: Summon Skeleton Knight

Special: Artifact exclusive to Warlocks

-Armor Information-

Description: Death Knight’s Cursed Armor

Unique Ability: Breath of Death

Special: Randomly applies a curse if the wearer is not undead.

‘What is this? I can’t use it.’

These were artifacts that could be used by undead or warlocks.

Richmond looked at Arkrich’s crown and his eyes sparkled.

“My lord that thing that thing….”

“Do you want it?”

Richmond nodded quickly.

Zig tossed the crown to Richmond. Richmond flew through the air and caught it.

“Thank you Master! I will be loyal to you!”

Richmond tried the old crown on his head with excitement.

Wooooow!

At that moment the crown on Richmond’s head began to vibrate.

“Oh my gosh!”

An aura similar to that of the rider of blood and madness emanated from the crown.

Zeke took out Bahamut and purified it by absorbing its energy like before.

[The power of the ‘nameless entity’ has been purified.]

[If you grant purified power to the summoned Richmond you can draw out the summoned creature’s potential.]

[Would you like to grant Richmond that power?]

‘A being whose name cannot be determined.’

The black magician who turned Cardinal Verdi into an arch-rich as Richmond said seemed to have made a contract directly with a demon with the name of a constellation not a demon.

‘Is that guy an apostle?’

Zeke felt the waves of power contained in the crown and was able to grasp the status of the unknown being called the Apostle to some extent.

He bestowed purified powers upon Richmond.

The power that emanated from Bahamut seeped into Richmond’s body.

Kkwaddudduk!

The appearance of Richmond who was once Demi Rich began to change.

[Richmond the summoned creature that received the power of the purified Archlich has evolved from Demi-Lich into Archlich.]

[Summoner Richmond can absorb the power of the crown to summon the undead ‘Skeleton Knight’.]

[Under the influence of the Black Sword Bahamut the power of the insignificant dragon that had been sleeping within Richmond’s body was strengthened.]

[Richmond a summoned creature mixed with the bones of a lowly dragon blooms some characteristics under the influence of the awakened dragon’s power.]

[You can grant the characteristics of a dragon monster to all undead you summon.]

[More affected by the ability of the Unique Power Dragon Species Domination.]

Richmond evolved from Demi-Lich to Arch-Lich and both of its eyes turned into purple gems and the old crown it wore on its head turned into a shining crown set with colorful gems.

What made Richmond different from his arch-rival Verdi was that he had two large horns growing from his head.

Richmond was very pleased to see the horns and crown sprouting from his head.

“Master! Look at this! It’s a horn! It’s so cool!”

It seemed that the dragon’s characteristics had come to life and even horns had grown.

Zeke said to Richmond who was delighted.

“Can Richmond get these guys back on their feet?”

Archlich disappeared as Zeke ate too much but the bodies of the skeleton knights he had created by awakening the corpses of the Paladins were still lying on the ground.

“I’ll try.”

As Richmond stretched out his hand and recited the spell the fallen skeleton knights began to glow again.

Ki-ki-ki-ki-ki!

The skeleton knights rose and lined up and at the same time their appearance began to change.

Its appearance changed into purple bone armor bone sword and bone shield and its head changed into that of a dragon like a reptilian skeleton.

[Skeleton Knight has evolved into Skeleton Dragoon with the power of Summon Richmond.]

[Skeleton Dragoons are limited to 10 summons.]

‘Skeleton Dragon.’

It felt noticeably strong perhaps because it was an undead that emerged from the corpse of a paladin.

Zeke calmed down Richmond who was flying around in joy and immediately lifted the summons.

When Richmond was de-summoned the skeletons disappeared along with him.

After blocking the undead army Zeke slowly approached the ark.

He put his hand on the ark and poured mana into it.

In an instant a white light burst forth from the surface of the ark.

[Administrator System Access]

[Check Code]

[Check the title of the heir of Terracan Draker]

[Authentication of ???’s Ark Entry Permission]

A message appeared and a black hole appeared on the surface of the ark centered around the spot where Zeke had touched.

‘what?’

I looked into the hole but I couldn’t see inside.

This time Zeke tried putting his hand in. His hand went inward.

It seemed like an entrance but I couldn’t see inside so I didn’t feel like going in.

‘…It’ll be okay.’

Zeke hesitated for a moment then carefully entered the hole in the ark.

As soon as Zeke entered the hole in the ark disappeared.

* * *

“Wow what is this place?”

The scenery inside the ark felt surprisingly familiar to Zeke.

Because the dragon slayer’s resting place was similar to Caesar’s resting place.

A white clean-looking hallway stretched out on both sides.

Zeke turned on the map to check the path but surprisingly there was no path marked on the inside of the ark.

‘This is the first time something like this has happened.’

Zeke looked puzzled and decided to turn off the map and go around himself.

Still I thought there wouldn’t be a problem since I was granted entry through the system.

As I was walking down the hallway at some point a door appeared.

Zeke was surprised when he saw the door.

“Huh? That sentence….”

As expected it was the sun’s emblem.

From the signs seen in the underground catacombs of Fab Valencia to the murals at the site of the Mask of Agamemnon to the emblems carved on the ark.

‘It’s clear that they are somehow connected to each other.’

Zig put his hand on the door and poured mana into it.

[Check the title of the heir of Terracan Draker]

[Entry into the wheelhouse is permitted.]

The firmly closed door opened in four directions.

Zeke slowly went inside.

The space didn’t appear right away and as I passed through the hallway a new place appeared.

“Here…?”

The wheelhouse that the system spoke of seemed to be a literal wheelhouse.

It was a large hall with a control stick to steer the ship seats for several people and crystals of unknown purpose.

Zeke looked around the wheelhouse.

‘Are you steering the ship from here?’

It was definitely the wheelhouse but it looked very different from the warships Zeke had seen.

So it was hard to even imagine how it could be controlled.

The control panel with its fixes scattered here and there looked like something only a wizard would be able to handle.

“A wizard pilots a ship? Does that make sense?”

Filled with questions Zeke headed toward the joystick in the center of the hall.

The control stick had a traditional rudder attached to it to steer the ship.

Zik stood in front of the wheel.

“I know what this is.”

Then he grabbed the wheel with both hands.

That was when.

[Check the title of the heir of Terracan Draker]

[Inheritance Procedure Progress]

Wooooow!

The wheel tilted back and a cylinder began to rise from within it.

‘what?’

Zig looked at the sealed box inside the cylinder and remembered what he had seen at the Join tribe ruins before.

It was similar to when I inherited the chain left by Terracan Draker.

Zeke opened the sealed box without hesitation.

As expected his prediction was correct.

“This is the Holy Grail?”

When he heard that it was a holy relic containing the power of the Fairy King Zig thought of a very ornate treasure-like cup.

But the cup in the sealed box was a crude wooden cup that looked like something you would find at a market.

The surface was uneven and scratched here and there as if it had been carved by a poorly skilled worker.

Zeke picked up the Holy Grail from the box.

“A miraculous cup that grants immortality.”

That was when.

Suddenly light burst out from the Holy Grail.

‘what?’

Messages suddenly appeared before my eyes.

[The ‘Grail of the Fairy King Filled with Brilliant Light’ detects the heir to the title Terracan Draker.]

[Grants class skills according to inheritance procedures.]

Zeke was confused by the message that suddenly came to his mind.

‘Grant class skills?’

[‘The Fairy King’s Cup Filled with Brilliant Light’ detects the unique class ‘Immortal’.]

[The ‘Fairy King’s Cup Filled with Brilliant Light’ grants the exclusive skill ‘Healing Factor’ to the unique class ‘Immortal’.]

[An error occurred while granting the skill.]

[It has been confirmed that you already have the skill.]

[The ‘Fairy King’s Cup with Brilliant Light’ grants other exclusive skills.]

[The ‘Fairy King’s Cup Filled with Brilliant Light’ grants the exclusive skill ‘Infinite Stamina’ to the unique class ‘Immortal’.]

[An error occurred while granting the skill.]

[It has been confirmed that you already have the skill.]

‘Immortal-only skill?’

The healing factor and infinite stamina skills exclusive to immortals that the Holy Grail was intended to grant were skills that the healer class had when the class changed to immortal.

The message came back again.

[The ‘Fairy King’s Cup Filled with Brilliant Light’ creates skills exclusive to other immortal classes.]

[A new skill that never existed before has been created.]

[‘The Fairy King’s Cup Filled with Brilliant Light’ grants the unique class ‘Immortal’ exclusive skill ‘Limit Break’.]

‘Breaking through the limits?’

It was a skill with an unfamiliar name.

The Holy Grail that had been granted the skill gradually began to lose its light and then disappeared completely returning to its original ordinary shape.

“What happened?”

It happened so quickly that Zeke tried to inject mana into the Holy Grail but there was no reaction.

Besides that I looked at the Holy Grail here and there but I couldn’t find any significant changes.

Zeke eventually checked the information on the skills granted by the Holy Grail thinking that there would be nothing more.

[This skill is currently locked.]

[It is difficult to understand skill information.]

[Your soul level must be raised to unlock it.]

“what?”

Zig checked the skill description and couldn’t hide his bewilderment.

The skill was granted but it was locked so it was impossible to check.

“Hmm is this similar to the previous spellcasting?”

I didn’t quite understand what was meant by saying that one must have a high level of soul to be able to write.

In the case of dragon skills it was awkward because you could see the information even if it was locked and you could unlock it with karma points.

‘Anyway since it’s a skill exclusive to immortals it’ll probably be useful once it’s unlocked.’

Zeke put aside his thoughts about skills and looked at the seemingly insignificant Holy Grail before becoming lost in another question.

“It grants class skills according to the inheritance procedure. Is it that Terracan Draker placed the Holy Grail here as some kind of arrangement for the heir?”

Zeke has grown in power by inheriting the legacy left by Terracan Draker.

In addition to the Heart of Bahamut and the Fangs Security Vault now the Soul Sealing Technique. It seemed like the Holy Grail had to be added to this.

‘What did Terracan Draker do to make this arrangement?’

Zeke looked at the Holy Grail he was holding and suddenly remembered the information Arataso had told him.

“That’s right the Demon Lord said he was looking for this holy relic. What if there is a being other than a dragon targeting the phenomenal world…?”

But the story that the Demon King was trying to invade the world seemed too far-fetched.

Zeke shook his head.

“It’s no use worrying about it alone. If you show it to the hermit of the story he might know something.”

Zeke took the Holy Grail and prepared to leave the ark.

It was when he was about to put the Holy Grail into his inventory.

Suddenly a message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[Power Luck is activated.]

[The Dragon Tribe skill ‘Dragon’s Sense’ is activated in conjunction with the power.]
