A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 214

Episode 214
“Zeke Draker.”
Seeing as Zeke came here right after he got out of the ordeal of struggle it seemed like they had been waiting for him to come out.
As he stepped forward Rex Turn opened his mouth.
“Have you seen the end of the ordeal?”
At those words Zeke nodded at him.
“Yes. I passed all the tests up to the 100th floor the lowest level of the trials.”
Rex Turn’s eyebrows twitched at Zeke’s words.
The administrators including Rex Tourn also held their breath and looked at Zeke.
Zeke couldn’t tell what the silent Rex Turner was thinking.
‘I don’t know if conquering the tower will bring good or bad luck… but let’s give it a try first.’
Zeke immediately got down on one knee and spoke respectfully to Rex Turn.
“I have something to say to Rex Turn the head of the Turn family.”
Zeke took a deep breath and continued.
“I have reached the lowest level of the Ordeal of Struggle and have come to realize the amazing secret of the House of Turin.”
Rex Turn’s thick eyebrows quirked at his words.
“What does that mean?”
Zig put his hand into his bosom and took out the ‘Secret Book of Giant Hunting Techniques’ from his inventory.
Zeke slowly opened his mouth as he handed Rex Tourn the secret book of the giant hunting technique.
“This is the secret book of the Tushin Tir.”
“A suicide? Who would use such a crazy name?”
This was Rex Turn’s first time hearing the name Tushin Tir so he reacted in this way.
Zeke took a breath and corrected his name again.
“The god Tir is the true name of the valiant knight ‘Tius’ one of the knights of the clock tower representing the Kingdom of Kronos and the king of the Kingdom of Crete on the northern continent.”
Those words shocked not only Rex Turner but also the managers present.
“Knight of Valor Tius!”

“He’s a legendary hero!”
Zeke looked at Rex Turn and drove the wedge in.
“The House of Thurn is the descendant of the blood of the hero and knight of valor Thursin Tyr.”
The managers murmured at Zeke’s words.
Then Rex Tourn stamped his foot hard.
thud!
As the powerful wave spread out to the surrounding area the managers who had been murmuring behind them fell silent and stood upright.
He pushed his face into Zeke’s and shouted loudly.
“The House of Turn is the descendant of Tius. Is that true Zeke Draker? Can you really be responsible for that?”
Then Zeke nodded.
“I stake my reputation as a knight on telling you the truth.”
Rex Turn looked at the vision book of Tyr that Sieg had handed him.
If what Zeke said was true it was a precious book of vision whose value could not be measured.
Zeke looked back at Rex Turner and said.
“I too have acquired that vision in order to pass the trials of struggle but if the Turun family does not permit it I will seal that technique forever.”
The family’s vision was to prohibit any leakage of blood even if they were of the same clan.
Of course Zeke had no intention of actually sealing the technology.
‘You can just use it without telling the Turn family.’
In any case in order to properly use the giant hunting technique Tyr’s weapon the ‘Giant Hunter’ was needed.
There was no risk of the Giant Hunter being discovered by the Turn family as it was stored in Zeke’s inventory.
To Zeke Tyr’s vision book was nothing more than a hollow shell so he handed it over to Rex Turn without any hesitation.
‘If I can strengthen my relationship with the Turun family with this it’ll be a good deal.’
Rex Turn said looking at Zeke.
“You must know the value of this vision book so why did you give it to me?”
“Zeke said catching his breath.
“The owner of that book of vision is the rightful descendant of the Turn family. I simply thought that returning lost items to their owners was the natural duty of a knight.”
Zick continued speaking.
“Also… I consider the Turun family as my true allies. How could I covet and steal what belongs to my friends?”
Then Rex Turn suddenly threw the giant hunting technique to the floor.
For a moment Zeke clenched his teeth inwardly at Rex’s actions.
‘The plan failed.’
If it was Arthur Draker I thought I might be able to figure out his intentions since he was good at such tricks.
However Rex Tourn who values loyalty thought that his plan would work but he showed an unexpected reaction.
Rex Turn looked down at Zeke and said.
“Zeke Draker did you think that would make me happy?”
After hearing Rex Turn’s words Zeke thought that his plan was definitely off.
‘That’s unexpected. I underestimated the Turun family…’

But something felt strange.
Rex Turn who had been looking down at Zeke raised his head and shouted at the ceiling.
“Did you think that Rex Tourn would be impressed by that?”
‘huh?’
Zeke felt something strange and looked up at Rex Turn.
Rex Turn’s eyes were red as he looked up at the ceiling and he seemed to be struggling to hold back his hot tears.
Rather Zeke was taken aback by Rex Turn’s reaction.
‘What what?’
Rex Turn came over in an instant grabbed Zeke by the shoulder and lifted him up.
Then he shouted in a resentful tone.
“Zeke Draker! The warm friendship you have shown towards House Thurn! The spirit! Well seen!”
A look of extreme heat poured out from the eyes of the managers including Rex Tourn.
‘uh?’
Zeke’s plan worked better than expected.
Rex Tourn patted Zeke on the shoulder and said.
“You are the first to pass the Ordeal of Struggle and you have personally learned the roots of the House of Turn! And you have brought proof of it! Sieg Draker! You are already a member of the House of Turn!”
Rex Tourn hugged Zig tightly with his firm broad chest.
The managers who were watching this from the side could not hold it in any longer and began to applaud shedding hot tears.
“Sir Zeke Draker! I am impressed!”
“Turn’s eternal ally!”
“Zeke Draker! The epitome of a true fighter! I fell in love with his heat!”
The reaction from the Turun family was so heated that Zeke couldn’t help but be flustered.
‘This is driving me crazy.’
I actually felt sorry when Rex Turner came out like this.
But since it has come to this anyway I decided to drive the wedge in.
He broke free from Rex Turn’s embrace and spoke with the most impressed expression he could muster.
“I don’t know what to do with myself when my lord and the members of the Turn family think of me that way. On the contrary I have learned a lot through the trials of struggle.”
At those words Rex Turn asked Zeke with a serious expression.
“What did you get inside?”
Zeke took a deep breath and opened his mouth thinking about what to say as he read Rex Turn’s gaze.
“I have acquired the mindset of a true fighter.”
At Zeke’s words Rex Turn closed his eyes tightly and felt a deep emotion.
After feeling the afterglow of the emotion he opened his eyes again and patted Zeke on the shoulder.
“Zeke Draker. Never forget the precious warrior’s heart you have earned.”
Zeke nodded meeting Rex Turn’s gaze.
The emotional heat that filled the space slowly subsided.
Zeke wiped away the cold sweat and sighed in relief.
‘Phew if I had been careful the whole plan could have gone awry.’
Fortunately I had experience in the North in my previous life so I was able to adjust to the rhythm. Otherwise I would have been flustered and not been able to respond properly.
Thus Zeke’s return ended with a warm welcome.
* * *
Rex Turn decided to throw a grand banquet for Zeke and took him to the main house of the Turn family.
Rex Turn promised to tell Zeke the story about his mother as promised.
‘Arthur forbid me to mention Laura but who knows? Come and see me whenever you want to hear.’
Zig first went into the VIP room of the Tourn family home and barely managed to catch his breath.
‘It seems like it’s been a while since you’ve had a break.’
Zeke was about to lie down on the bed when he got up as if remembering something.
“This is not the time. I need to clear out my karma points when I have time.”
There was quite a bit to be gained from the inverted tower.
After breaking through the wall that had been blocking him and finding a way to advance to the rank of Black Knight he was also able to gain new powers and abilities.
“First let’s try using the newly acquired power ‘Shadow Control.’”
As Zeke unleashed his ‘Shadow Domination’ his shadow suddenly rose up and rippled.
To his surprise Zeke’s shadow broke away from him and began to move freely.
“The shadow is moving?”
Moreover the separated shadow could move freely according to Zeke’s will. He sent the shadow to move secretly.
Then he saw a servant walking down the hallway. Zeke moved his shadow and merged into the servant’s shadow.
Bam!
As Zeke’s shadow permeated all of them surprisingly Zeke was able to move the watch.
In addition information about the siege although fragmentary was passed on to Zig.
‘You were just bringing me a quick meal.’
Zeke broke free from the shadow’s dominion.
Then the attendant who had been paused for a moment under Zeke’s control began to move again as if nothing had happened.
dripping!
The servant came to Zig’s door knocked and served food on the table.
“If there’s anything else you need please let me know Sir Zeke.”
As the attendant stepped aside Zeke retrieved his shadow again.
“This is shadow control. It could be useful in espionage or assassination.”
As one’s power grew stronger the range of shadows one could control would expand and the information one could extract would also increase.
Next Zigg looked into the newly opened functions of the Senior Manager.
“By the way you said you disabled the defense mode setting. What is this?”
Zig went into the admin system and opened the defense mode settings.
[Loads a list of ‘Base Areas’ that can be linked with Defense Mode.]
―List of areas―
1. Fortress of ???
2. The Tomb of the Dragon Slayer
3. The Resting Place of the Hero King
4. Heavenly Tribe’s Resting Place
5. Giant’s Guardian Tower (access denied)
6. Ark
“what’s this?”
A list of ancient ruins that had been accessible to the administrator system appeared.
“The haven of the Sky Tribe… Now that I think about it Terracan Draker called that place the 4th Defense Base.”
I remembered seeing in the past footage how Terrakan Draker led his Dragon Slayer force and fought against the Demon Legion.
Zeke was able to get a little feel for what Defense Mode was.
“Is it possible to control a defensive base like the Sky Tribe’s resting place with a system?”
In past footage when the gate opened a huge army of monsters and demons rushed in.
It would have been difficult to stop them with a normal wall.
‘There were large demons and even a dragon possessed by magic flying around…’
Zik thought of the solid rock wall that protected the village of the Rock Tribe.
On the outside it looked like a simple pile of rocks but inside it held a mysterious ancient power.
The reason why the Hydra consumed by magic could not enter the village of the Rock Tribe was also likely due to the rock wall.
‘What is the fortress of ????’
Zigg pressed number 1 on the area list.
Then the screen changed and a map appeared.
“Huh? This is…..”
Surprisingly what appeared on the map was the Castle of Agamemnon located in Mycenae.
Only then did Zeke remember the message that had come to him while he had previously destroyed the magic of Agamemnon Castle during the Great Purification.
“I said I was going to disable emergency defense mode.”
At the time I saw that Agamemnon Castle was linked to the system and tested whether the settings could be converted to those of the Tomb of the Dragon Slayer or the Resting Place of the Hero King but since there were no other changes I forgot about it.
“Aha so this can’t be done with the general management system and it has to be linked with the defense mode to be set up.”
Zigg had adapted to the Kabbalah system to some extent.
Zeke looked at the view of Mycenae and the Castle of Agamemnon floating on the screen.
“Wow the terrain features are much more detailed than on a regular map.”
When I clicked on the map to see if Zig had any other functions a warning window popped up.
[You do not have access to the Karma Data List so you cannot update to the latest data]
[Defense mode features are limited.]
[Only bunker-sized defense functions can be used.]
[It is possible to build a defense zone in a randomly designated limited area.]
Zig frowned at the message.
“What are you talking about? It’s only capable of defense functions on the scale of a bunker?”
As Zeke pressed the screen the map changed again.
As the room he was in was marked on the map relevant information came to mind.
[A random area has been specified.]
[Would you like to build a defense zone?]
“Building a defense zone?”
I don’t know what it is but I decided to build it anyway.
Woohoo!
As soon as the decision was made light spread out in all directions centered around Zig.
The light reached the place marked on the map and then the screen changed.
[Determine the defense area.]
[Refresh the area information.]
