A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 235
by Hectopascal(헥토파스칼 )
Episode 235
Zeke planned to use his bloodshot eyes to drain the dead blood that was pooling inside Kali’s body.
If Zeke could control Kali’s blood with his bloodshot eyes it would be possible to move the blood itself.
‘Whew if we fail here Sister Kali might become a complete wreck.’
Zeke took a deep breath and concentrated.
He first subdued Kali’s shadow with his shadow dominion.
Tsk tsk tsk―
With the shadow subdued Kali was completely under Zeke’s control.
Zig opened his eyes wide in that state.
Woohoo!
Through the bloodshot eyes I could clearly see the state of Kali’s body that I had not seen before.
The blood clots were blocking the circuits here and there and necrosis was also occurring in various places.
The lower abdomen was also becoming increasingly hardened due to the clump of blood.
‘It was a more serious situation than I thought.’
Zeke looked inside Kali’s body and pulled out Annexy’s dagger.
He placed his dagger against the bruise on Kali’s back slightly cutting her.
Black blood gushed out from there.
Zeke put the blood on his dagger and summoned spiritual powers.
Wooooow!
Kali’s blood reacted to Zeke’s spiritual power.
Kugugugugugu―
Through Kali’s blood he expanded his influence over blood.
Then the bloodthirsty creatures began to move little by little according to Zig’s will.
As the tightly packed blood clots began to slowly release the pressure on Kali’s auric circuits that had been blocked also began to ease.
‘This is how the blood is released and excreted from the body.’
It was when Zeke was releasing the blood clots and gathering them in one place to drive them out of his body.

Suddenly the magical energy hidden inside the blood clot surged up.
Kkwadduk!
Magi was running wild and crushing Kali’s internal organs.
Carly’s body flinched.
If Zeke hadn’t been holding her body with his shadow control she would have collapsed spitting out blood at any moment.
Zig calmly prepared the holy fire while simultaneously releasing the clumps of blood that had gathered.
Tsk tsk tsk―
The flames of the Holy Spirit traveled up Kali’s auror circuits to capture the magic.
Magi knew that the Holy Spirit was chasing her and ran towards Kali’s heart.
But Zeke had already prepared another torch for his heart.
This was because we had already learned that when dealing with parasites the heart and brain must be protected first.
Whoosh whoosh!
The holy fire that was on the heart side blocked the path of magic.
Then Magi could not go anywhere and had no choice but to stop in one place.
Zeke had been waiting for this very moment.
He placed his palm on Kali’s back and let out a powerful resonance sound.
Phew!
With a loud noise all traces of the waves that had shaken Kali’s insides as well as the magic within her body disappeared.
Zig immediately pulled up the bloodletting inside him with bloodshot eyes.
Then he struck Kali’s back with a strong resonance again.
Ppaang!
Zeke quickly released the shadow control and at the same time Kali’s consciousness returned.
“Coolook!”
Carly spat out a clump of black blood.
“Haaah.”
She spat out the blood clot and took a deep breath.
Before she knew it all the black bruises on her back had disappeared and her complexion had returned to normal.
Carly felt as if the stuffy air that had been clogging up her body had disappeared and her whole body had become empty.
Zeke said to Carly.
“It’s not over yet. Just follow me as I guide the aurors.”
He applied the Auror techniques he had learned from Shatton Draker to burn away the remaining blood dregs in Kali’s body.
Carly sat up straight closed her eyes and felt the flow of aura that Zeke was directing.
By breathing in mana he circulated the mana through the circuit and then flowed it to the lower abdomen.
Kali remembered this natural breathing and flow.
After a while Kali started to raise her aura on her own without Zeke’s guidance and started to do somersaults on her lower abdomen.
Woohoo!
And at some point Carly restored her auror circuits and started auroring again.

Feeling Kali recover she exhaled softly and opened her eyes.
“Phew.”
Carly stood up from her seat.
She muttered in disbelief moving her body around.
“I can’t believe it… You’ve really recovered from your injuries.”
Zeke couldn’t bring himself to tell Carly that he had cured her by controlling her psyche and manipulating her blood so he just smiled quietly.
‘What’s good is good.’
He took a few healing potions from his inventory and handed them to Kali.
“Since your body is not fully recovered yet take this divided into breakfast lunch and dinner every day. It will help you recover.”
Carly nodded at Zeke’s words.
“I understand. Zeke I owe you a favor I can never repay.”
“I am satisfied that my sister is safe.”
Then Carly knelt down on one knee before Zeke.
She looked up at Zeke and said.
“Zeke I don’t know how I can repay you for saving my life and my knights.”
Zeke said looking at Carly.
“I just did what I had to do.”
“Anyone can easily talk about the honor of a knight but no one can act like you Zick.”
As Carly got up she spoke to Zeke.
“I will give you whatever you want. If you ask for territory I will give you territory. If you ask for weapons I will give you weapons.”
Zeke felt sincerity in Carly’s eyes.
He opened his mouth slowly.
“If you say so I have two requests.”
He continued.
“I heard that among the territories that your sister possesses are the archipelago in the South Sea.”
Carly nodded.
“Yes these are the things we obtained while sweeping away pirates in the South Sea. They are large islands but they are located in the Sea of Death making them difficult to access and impossible to develop.”
“I would like to take ownership of that island.”
Zig knew that with the return of the Sea God the Dead Sea would gradually become quieter and the potential value of the archipelago would increase based on its geographic location.
Carly unaware of this fact was surprised by Zeke’s words.
She had been willing to hand it over even if he asked for something more valuable so she nodded quietly when Zeke only asked for the South Sea Archipelago.
“I can easily give you that much. What about the other one?”
“I would like to request a permanent exemption from paying Jason’s port fees.”
Carly laughed at Zeke’s words.
“That’s a pretty good request. I’ll grant it. I’ll exempt your ship from port fees and even build you a dedicated dock.”
“That’s enough.”
Zeke planned to develop the island he received from Kali to settle the fish-people and make it a point of contact to the Kingdom of Cusco on the southern continent.
With Zig’s financial power and human resources developing the Namhae Archipelago was not that difficult.
Zeke had told Carly all his demands so he changed the subject to Bacchus Draker.
“Is it true that you came to this island after receiving information from Bacchus as Runo said?”
Carly nodded at Zeke’s words.
“Yes Bacchus and I have a symbiotic relationship. He gives me information and I give him what he needs.”
“Are you saying that you will provide Bacchus with what he needs?”
At Zeke’s words Carly looked slightly embarrassed and slowly opened her mouth.
“What can I hide from you Zeke? I am protecting Bacchus’ mother.”
Something completely unexpected came out of Carly’s mouth.
“What does it mean to protect Bacchus’ mother?”
“It is true. I am protecting Bacchus’ mother in my domain.”
“Why? You must have a maternal family too.”
Then Carly shook her head.
‘There is no matrilineal line?’
The maternal line played a very important role in the Draker’s direct line.
This is because the direct descendants could only wield the power of the true ‘Drake Family’ after going through fierce competition and earning the right to be the successor to the family head.
Until then they had to rely solely on the power of their matrilineal or allied clans.
Zeke too was subject to all kinds of discrimination and contempt because his maternal family the House of Agamemnon was sealed off for 50 years due to a curse.
But he didn’t know that his older brother Bacchus was in the same situation.
“Does the absence of a maternal lineage mean that Bacchus is an illegitimate child?”
Carly nodded.
“Yes. She was none other than my father’s maid.”
Zeke was quite surprised to hear Carly’s words.
The Drakes are a family of dragonslayers and their direct lineage is given great legitimacy.
Therefore for the head of the Draker family leaving behind a successor was also a matter that required extremely meticulous calculation.
Kali’s maternal line House Prana was not a very influential family as a bloodline of the Drakers but was a traditional noble and knightly family that had been around since the days of the Holy Empire.
Not to mention the Siemens Helen’s maternal family the Milaris were also a long-standing knightly family from Thebes.
It would have been unthinkable that Arthur Drake who had both talent as a knight and political acumen would have fathered an illegitimate child without such calculations.
‘If you think about it he married his mother who was the successor to the cursed family of Agamemnon… so maybe the head of the family is surprisingly a debaucher?’
The word debaucher did not seem quite right for Arthur Draker’s cold face but at the moment it was inevitable that he would think so.
Carly continued her explanation.
“Her name was Carmilla. One day Carmilla became pregnant and gave birth to a boy. His father named him Bacchus and sent him to the mansion in the Duchy of Troy where all of us brothers had grown up. And Bacchus too was sent to the cradle when he was seven years old.”
Arthur Draker’s naming of the child meant that he recognized the child from the maid as a direct descendant of him.
The elders may have been displeased with Arthur’s decision but it was clear that they could not go against the words of one of the most powerful men on the continent and the most powerful of all the Draker lords.
‘Even so Bacchus’ mother must have been a complete bed of thorns.’
The direct descendants of Draker that Zeke remembers were not ordinary people.
It would not have been easy for an ordinary maid to survive among such hostesses.
Then Zeke asked something that suddenly occurred to him.
“Did Bacchus have a pure-blood awakening?”
Carly shook her head.
“No Bacchus wasn’t a pure-blooded Awakened. That’s why he volunteered for the Dark Stage right after graduating from the Academy.”
Zeke thought that Bacchus’ choice was reasonable.
He too had considered applying to the Black Stage in his previous life if he could graduate from the academy normally.
‘Of course I didn’t have the chance to do that before because I was forced out.’
Zeke was able to get an outline of what was going on.
“I understand how Bacchus relayed information to you from the Dark Stage. But how is it that you are protecting his mother?”
“The situation is a bit complicated. Originally Bacchus’ mother remained in the Four Seasons Castle as her father’s maid even after giving birth to Bacchus. However she grew old and was no longer able to perform her duties as a maid so she had to leave the Four Seasons Castle.”
“Are you saying that the lord did not keep him by his side?”
“So since they weren’t officially married in the first place she couldn’t enjoy any of the benefits that a spouse of the head of the household should have.”
Zeke didn’t quite understand Arthur Draker’s actions.
‘If that’s the case then why did you acknowledge Bacchus as your direct descendant? There’s something twisted about Arthur Draker’s actions.’
Carly continued her explanation.
“One day Bacchus contacted me secretly. He said that if I protected his mother who was coming out of the Four Seasons he would give me information.”
“Is it really necessary to entrust my mother’s safety to my older sister? If it’s a black stage her identity would be hidden anyway and if her family applies for protection it would be possible to live under a different identity than before.”
Carly paused for a moment then opened her mouth.
“Zeke what I’m about to tell you is a secret. You must swear to keep this a secret.”
Seeing Carly’s serious expression Zeke realized that there was some important secret hidden and answered with a serious expression.
“I swear.”
Carly opened her mouth slowly.
“In fact Bacchus’ mother Carmilla is a vampire.”
