A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 215



Episode 215

Zick looked at the changed screen.

Surprisingly the screen was detailed as if it were the exact same room as Zigg.

All sorts of information came to mind including the structure of the room the furniture arrangement and even the material of the walls.

“So this is what it means to build a defense zone.”

In areas designated as defense zones it was possible to check area information in much more detail than on a regular map.

Zeke got up from his seat and moved some other objects around.

The movement was immediately reflected on the screen.

“If we could use this in siege warfare it would be incredibly advantageous.”

If you could link a fortress or defensive base like Agamemnon Castle to Defense Mode you would be able to quickly grasp the movements of your allies as well as enemies making battles much easier.

Zeke thought back to the wars he had fought in his past life.

The situation at the time where they were forced to fight the imperial army while trapped in the castle was extremely bleak.

‘If we had this ability back then we would all have lived.’

It was a bitter memory. But when he returned many things changed.

If something similar happened again I had no intention of being treated so easily this time.

Because his return could have changed the future and resulted in a different outcome other than the Third Continental War.

Zeke was determined to completely crush Abel’s ambitions so that the terrible war he remembered from his past life would not happen again.

‘If we stop Abel and the Narak guys the worst case scenario won’t happen. The best thing to do is to kill Abel first… but if we mess with him carelessly we might get a backlash so let’s put Sister Kali in the lead and keep him in check while I focus on becoming stronger.’

After a moment of reflection Zeke opened the settings window again. This time it was to distribute karma points.

“Let’s see. I have 6834 karma points. That’s quite a lot.”

Zig’s first priority was to increase the amount of inventory he had when he was promoted to Senior Manager.

Mid-level managers had a limit of 500 spaces while senior managers could have up to 1000 spaces which is double that.

Since you could expand four spaces for 1 point you could spend 125 points to expand 500 more spaces.

“Okay this should be enough. There are 6334 points left.”

Zik nodded after thinking about it.

“Let’s unlock the 4th level of Dragon Clan skills.”

To unlock the 4th level of the Dragon Clan skill 3000 points were required.

However when you obtain the title Ancient Dragon the points required to unlock Dragon skills are reduced by 20%.

“It’s 2400 points for opening. Okay let’s go.”

Zig unlocked level 4 of the Dragon Clan skill.

[Unlocks Dragon Clan Skill Level 4.]

[The title ‘Dragon Tribe’ has been detected.]

[The title ‘Dragon Tribe’ is changed to the constitution ‘Dragon Body’.]

[Active skill ‘Hydra’s Poison’ is absorbed into the constitution ‘Dragon Body’.]

[With the full release of the ‘Dragon Body’ ability it is possible to transform parts of the body into dragon limbs.]

[The opening of the ‘Dragon Body’ partially releases the seal on Bahamut’s heart. The current compression seal level is 47.5%.]

[Dragon’s Breath skill grows.]

[Dragon Tooth Soldier skill changes to Dragon Warrior skill.]

“The ability to transform one’s body into a dragon’s body.”

Zig who had acquired the dragon body could instinctively feel how to use this ability.

He raised his hand and concentrated his spiritual power.

Kkwaduk!

Surprisingly Zeke’s hand transformed into that of a dragon.

His fingernails grew long and his forearms grew scales like those of a dragon.

Zig swung his transformed hand around.

So there was a mark on the wall that looked like a dragon’s claw had scratched it.

“Is this a combination of the dragon ring armor and the dragon’s claw?”

Hydra’s venom was combined with physical abilities making it possible to freely create and use venom.

“As my constitution changed my bodily organs became more capable.”

This time he focused his spiritual power into his eyes and unlike before the dragon’s eyes appeared on both sides.

The range and amount of information that could be seen through the dragon’s eyes had increased compared to before and it was also much more natural to use the dragon’s sense to read the past.

It seemed useful in combat as it allowed for the ability to be used much more immediately than when using it as a skill.

Next Zeke checked the changed dragon skills.

Dragon Skills (4 levels unlocked): Gluttony (Expert) / Spirituality (Adept) / Dragon Breath (Adept) / Dragon Warrior (Beginner+)

Due to the influence of the dragon body the skill of dragon breath was high.

“I haven’t been able to use Dragon’s Breath properly because it consumes too much mana at once. Now that my proficiency has increased I think I can use it a bit more.”

As the skill of the Dragon Warrior changed the proficiency level changed back to beginner.

“A dragon warrior can summon up to 20 units…”

Zeke tried summoning a dragon warrior.

Swish!

The Dragon Warriors were larger and their armor seemed more solid than that of the previous Dragon Soldiers.

Moreover unlike the dragon soldiers who shot arrows the dragon warriors were equipped with spears and crossbows that seemed to be used for throwing weapons.

Zigg was able to summon a total of 25 units including the 5 Ghost Soldiers he received from Hoshigar in the 20th Dragon Warrior class.

“The number may be reduced but the range of tactical uses will be wider than before.”

Zig released the Dragon Warrior summons with a satisfied heart and checked the list of Dragon Tribe skills for Stage 4.

―Dragon Clan Skill Level 4―

Dragon Wings (locked) / Summon Dragon (locked)

8000 Karma Points required to unlock skill level 5

After checking the list Zeke read the description of the 4th level skill.

―Introducing Dragon Clan Skills―

Dragon Wings: Grants the ability to fly freely in the sky. (2000 points required to unlock)

Summon Dragon: It is possible to temporarily summon a dragon through a medium. (2500 points required to unlock)

“You can summon a dragon with the ability to fly?”

It required a huge amount of points but it was a very desirable ability.

In particular being able to fly could be a great advantage in surprising enemies on the battlefield.

“If you save 20% you get 1600 plus 2000 points. You need 3600 points.”

The remaining points after unlocking Stage 4 were 3934.

Although it felt like all the points he had worked so hard to collect were gone in an instant since the Dragon Clan skills were always useful Zig decided to invest 3600 points.

“Okay both are open.”

Zig boldly unleashed his dragon wings and dragon species summoning.

[Unlocks the Dragon Tribe skill ‘Dragon’s Wings’.]

[Unlocks the Dragon Tribe skill ‘Summon Dragon’.]

Zik opened the dragon tribe skill window again.

Dragon Skills (4 levels unlocked): Gluttony (Expert) / Spirituality (Expert) / Dragon Breath (Expert) / Dragon Warrior (Beginner+) / Dragon Wings (Beginner) / Dragon Summon (Beginner)

“Let’s try it out.”

Zeke used the Dragon Wing skill without hesitation.

He felt his body rise into the air at his will.

“Huh?”

It was possible to move around in the air as easily as moving one’s hands and feet.

It seemed like there were a lot of things to test such as how high it could fly what its maximum speed was and how long it could last.

Zig who had released his skill settled back down on the floor.

He smiled with satisfaction.

“Okay. This is worth the points.”

Summoning the Dragon King Zeke later decided to try it out by getting the Dragon King’s accessories from Richmond and this time he decided to organize the items he had obtained from the tower.

“Let’s see.”

Zeke took out and sorted out only the items that could absorb his power through binge eating.

I took out the flute of Annexi with the ability to subdue psychics the medal of the Orc race the medal of the Dark Elf race the necklace of Shambhala and the medal of the Royal Vampire.

“Is this the extent of binge eating?”

It seemed like it would be better to first have the legendary artifacts Solomon’s Ring and the horn flute imbued with the power of the ‘Judge of the Ceaseless Strife’.

Without hesitation Zeke used Gluttony on the sorted items.

Tsk tsk tsk―

Zeke’s shadow rose and swallowed all the items.

Then a message suddenly appeared.

[Active skill ‘Dissonance’ combines with ‘Battle Cry’ to transform into ‘Battle Cry [B-Rank (Beginner)]’.]

[Acquire the active skill ‘Taming [Grade B (Beginner)]’.]

[The skill Psychic Suppression and the skill Blood Fog and the skill Eye of Truth combine to transform into a new skill.]

[Acquire the active skill ‘Bloodshot [S-rank (Beginner)]’]

Zeke checked the information on his newly acquired skill.

―Skill Information―

Battle Cry: Instills fear in enemies within range and boosts the morale of allies. May also cure status ailments of allies.

―Skill Information―

Blood Eyes: A powerful ancient spell that has been lost allowing you to see through and subdue souls. Blood can be used as a medium to exert even stronger binding power.

Zeke looked puzzled at the sight of Bloody Eye’s ability.

“Ancient sorcery? At this level shouldn’t we consider it a forbidden technique that only a black magician would use?”

Since the skill level was S-class its ability would be amazing but it was also true that it was a bit burdensome to use.

Feeling a little uneasy Zeke decided to test out his bloodshot eyes ability first.

When I activated the skill a pattern was engraved on my forehead just like when I used the Eye of Truth before.

But unlike that time the shape of an eye as if drawn with blood was engraved on his forehead.

Wooooow!

The eye carved into his forehead began to turn blood red and his third eye opened. As a result Zig could see the mortal world and the spiritual world at the same time.

“Ugh.”

Although Zeke had strong mental powers seeing two worlds at the same time was quite a burden for him.

Zig had to use his healing factor furiously as the pain felt like his brain was going to burn out.

With his brain recovering and his eyes finally adjusted to the bloodshot eyes Zigg was able to see the previously unseen dimension of the spirit world.

Unlike the phenomenal world the spiritual world filled with energy displaying colorful colors seemed like a completely different world.

‘So this is how you can see through the world of the soul and subdue the soul.’

Zeke remembered the trouble he had had capturing the shaman who dealt with ghosts before. It seemed that dealing with such ancient ghosts would be easier if he had bloodshot eyes.

When Zeke stopped using the Blood Eye skill the blood-red pattern engraved on his forehead disappeared.

Zeke took a deep breath feeling quite tired.

“I think this is the most burdensome skill among all the skills I have.”

As it had great power it had to be used with caution.

Finally Zeke took out a random box from his inventory.

It was another random box outside of the rank I received as a final reward after conquering the tower.

In the previous random box the legendary artifact ‘Solomon’s Ring’ came out so I was excited to see what would come out this time.

“I hope another item with power comes out.”

Zeke slowly opened the random box muttering to himself.

That’s when the message came to mind.

[Power Luck is activated.]

[The result of the random box changes depending on the influence of luck.]

‘You say luck has struck?’

As before the rainbow burst out in a dazzling display inside the box.

After the light died down Zeke slowly checked what was inside the box.

“What is this?”

What came out of the box was none other than a compass.

“compass?”

Zeke was slightly taken aback when he saw that the compass looked ordinary despite the influence of the Power of Luck.

He quickly checked the compass information.

-Compass Information-

Description: Points the user in the direction of finding what they are looking for.

Unique Power: Absolute Exploration

Special feature: It detects holistic causality and gives directions so that the user can find what he is looking for but he cannot find anything else until he finds what he decided to find.

“You detect causality and specify direction?”

It didn’t seem like an extraordinary item in itself to be a compass and have unique powers.

Zeke suddenly remembered something.

‘With this compass maybe I can find the Fairy Lake…?’

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