A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 236



Episode 236

“Is it really true that Bacchus’ mother is a vampire?”

Zeke was surprised by the completely unexpected news.

‘Aside from the fact that Bacchus is a vampire half-blood how did a vampire manage to enter the Four Seasons?’

Most vampires either lived in the Northern Continent or wandered around the Central Continent.

In addition vampires did not turn to ash and disappear when exposed to sunlight as depicted in the story but it was true that they moved around a lot at night due to their racial characteristics and lived by sucking the blood and vital energy of other creatures.

In the central continent similar races themselves were rare and the Draker family placed a particularly high value on bloodlines so they strictly prohibited mixing blood with similar races or beastmen.

But it was hard to believe that Arthur Draker had sex with a vampire maid and even had an illegitimate child.

Zeke asked Carly.

“So Bacchus asked you to protect his vampire mother?”

“That’s also because if it’s revealed that his mother is a vampire the safety of Bacchus who is a half-blood will also be in danger.”

Zeke nodded.

“If I had applied for protection on the Black Stage side it would have been immediately revealed that my mother was a vampire. It would also have been revealed that I was a mixed-blood.”

“If that happens Bacchus will also be brought up as an agenda item at the Great Council. There is a 100% chance that he will be expelled from the Draker family.”

It would be fortunate if he was politely expelled but the hardliners among the elders could have said that Bacchus should be killed immediately saying that he had defiled the blood of the Drakers.

Zeke understood why Carly believed Bacchus’s information.

‘It seems like you too are holding Bacchus’ leash Sister.’

Zeke felt that things were going strangely wrong.

I simply thought it was a trap set by Abel’s side but the situation became complicated when an unexpected person got involved.

Zeke looked at Carly and asked.

“Do you think Sister that Bacchus has betrayed you?”

Then Carly shook her head.

“It’s hard to believe that. After all his mother is in my territory so I wonder why he would betray me and take risks.”

Contrary to what Carly said betrayal happens when it seems like it won’t happen at all.

Of course looking at the situation alone it was true that it was difficult to betray her as she said but Zeke thought that it was difficult to completely trust her.

‘It is possible that Bacchus did not know that the information was fake but that is too optimistic. Bacchus may have abandoned his mother or Abel may have already secured her safety in Sister Kali’s territory.’

There were any number of ways.

It was not uncommon for the Cartel to abandon their blood relatives for power so it was difficult to be certain that Bacchus would not betray Kali for the sake of his mother.

‘I’ll have to find out about this when I return to the Central Continent.’

After Zeke sorted out the situation he spoke to Carly.

“First of all I think leaving this place is the most urgent task.”

Carly also nodded in agreement with Zeke’s words.

“There is a ship that we came on. I will tell my companions so you Sister leave this island with the knights of the Silver Knights.”

“Aren’t you going to leave together?”

“I plan to rescue the fish people who are being held captive by the empire.”

Carly frowned at those words.

“There is no need to take risks because of the Zeke fish people.”

Then Zeke shook his head.

“I don’t intend to risk my strength. I just thought it would be a worthwhile investment if I could save the fish-men who were being held hostage and I could end up in a big debt to Peter Pan.”

“Would it be worth that much to pirates?”

“He’s not just a simple pirate. Peter Pan is a descendant of the ancient deep-sea tribe and holds great legitimacy among the fish-people. He’s worth capturing.”

Carly nodded seeming to agree with Zeke’s words.

“I hear what you say and it sounds plausible. Okay. I’ll go first.”

“Thank you for understanding sis.”

The two finished their conversation and went out.

When Kali emerged from the hut in perfect health the Knights of the White Order were filled with tears of joy.

As he had previously discussed with Carly Zeke ordered his companions to leave the island first on Reinhart’s ship.

“I will take the hostages with the young men of Erin so please protect Lady Kali until Jason. Sir Farel please lead them well.”

Farrell nodded at Zeke’s command.

“Understood my lord. Don’t worry.”

Zeke told the group the location of the cave where Reinhart’s ship was and the group quickly left.

After Carly and her group left Zeke called Peter Pan aside and gave her the conch shell that Poseidon had given her.

“what’s this?”

“It’s called the Book of the Deep Sea.”

“The Book of the Deep Sea? What is that?”

“I received it from the Sea God. He asked me to pass it on to you his descendant.”

“What? God? Where the hell have you been?”

“It’s a long way to explain. Anyway I heard that it contains an ancient power that the Deep Sea Tribe has lost.”

Peter Pan looked around the conch shell in admiration at Zeke’s words.

“But what do you do with this? Are you supposed to eat it?”

“…I doubt that’s true. Try putting some strength into it.”

“How do you give it strength?”

“It means to concentrate your power as if you were summoning a spirit.”

At Zeke’s words Peter Pan grabbed the conch shell and slowly concentrated his strength.

But there was no reaction from the conch shell.

“It doesn’t work?”

“Then try to shed some blood.”

Peter Pan was terrified at those words.

“It’s scary to bleed!”

“…Sometimes I wonder if you’re really a pirate.”

Zeke took out Annex’s dagger and took hold of Peter Pan’s hand cutting off his fingers.

“Oh it’s hot!”

A drop of blood fell from Peter Pan’s hand onto the conch shell.

Then the conch shell began to react to Peter Pan’s blood.

Wooooow!

A blue light emerged from the shell and enveloped Peter Pan soon seeping into his body.

“Oh?”

As the blue light fully took hold within Peter Pan’s body blue light began to radiate from her eyes.

In that moment letters I had never seen before began to glow and flow out from the conch shell.

This time the letters wrapped around Peter Pan’s body and as the letters were carved into his entire body he began to shine even brighter.

‘This power… seems to be sorcery. Is spirit magic related to sorcery?’

Considering that the Northern sorcerers used ancient magic to deal with ghosts it seemed that spirits were also beings with spiritual powers so it seemed that they could be viewed in a similar context.

After a while the blue light that was in Peter Pan’s body completely absorbed into her body.

Suddenly her eyes opened wide. But the color of her eyes had changed from before to a mysterious color that was a mixture of green blue and yellow.

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

[You have successfully completed the achievement quest mission.]

[You have obtained the ‘Deep Sea Medal’ as a reward.]

Zeke immediately checked the medal information.

―Medal Information―

Description: A medal containing the power of the Deep Sea Tribe.

Unique Ability: Telepathy

Special feature: Can convey one’s thoughts to others.

‘Telepathy? What a strange ability.’

Zeke immediately ate the Deep Sea Tribe’s medals.

[Eat the Deep Sea Tribe’s medals.]

[Acquire the active skill Telepathy.]

[Active skill Telepathy combines with skill Bloodshot.]

[Active skill Bloodshot Eyes proficiency increases.]

[The application range of the skill Bloodshot Eyes is expanded.]

When I checked the skill window it was marked as ‘Bloodshot [S-rank (Expert+)]’.

‘Is telepathy also a type of sorcery? I guess I should check this ability as well.’

As Zeke was thinking about his new powers Peter Pan who had absorbed all of the powers of the Book of the Deep Sea approached Zeke.

Zeke said to Peter Pan.

“Have you absorbed all of the Book of the Deep Sea?”

Peter Pan nodded and said.

“This… is the lost ancient sorcery of the Deep Sea Tribe. If we have this the fish-tribe will no longer be discriminated against!”

Zeke nodded at Peter Pan.

“That’s a good thing.”

Peter Pan hesitated for a moment at Zeke’s answer then bowed his head to Zeke.

“Thank you so much…”

Looking at Peter Pan like that Zeke said in a dry voice.

“I just did what I was asked to do. You don’t have to thank me.”

At Zeke’s words Peter Pan raised his head flinched and shouted.

“I just said hello! Not much but a little thank you!”

Peter Pan continued speaking turning his head to Zeke.

“My real name is… Nerisha! That’s what I know!”

Then Peter Pan ran off to another place.

Zeke tilted his head towards Peter Pan.

‘I don’t know why he’s suddenly acting like that.’

It was a reaction that was typical of Zeke even in front of Angelina the most beautiful woman on the continent.

He left Peter Pan alone and called Bill over to ask him.

“Where did you put Bill Triangle?”

“That ship was hidden behind that island.”

“Go and gather the young men. Let’s ride the triangle and go save the villagers.”

Bill smiled and replied to Zeke’s words.

“Okay! I’ll call you right away!”

* * *

The Neverland a symbol of Peter Pan’s fishman pirate crew is currently housing fishmen captured by the Imperial Army.

And the Imperial Army and the wizards of the Abyss were protecting the brainwashed fishmen on the Neverland.

Suddenly mist began to roll in across the calm sea.

A soldier on patrol on the deck suddenly saw the fog thick enough to make it impossible to see even an inch ahead and waved his hand.

“The weather has been nice for a few days but what is this all of a sudden?”

The soldier grumbled and then spotted something beyond the mist.

“Huh? What is that?”

In the foggy darkness something was running quickly towards the ship.

It was none other than a giant whale.

“Huh huh?”

The whale approached quickly and flicked its fin toward the Neverland.

Choaaaak!

The Neverland ship rocked violently as it was swept by the waves.

Because of this the soldiers on the ship lost their balance and fell over causing a commotion.

At the same time figures appeared on the deck.

The Aeoin Youth Corps caught the fallen soldiers with hooks and threw them into the sea.

“Kkaaaah!”

The young fishermen who had secured the deck in an instant sent a signal.

Then Zeke and Peter Pan also came up onto the deck.

Zeke was secretly impressed by the skill of the young fishermen who had instantly subdued the ship guarded by the Imperial Army.

‘It wasn’t for nothing that they were known as the great pirate group in the South Sea.’

Thanks to their racial characteristics as fish-people the youth group demonstrated outstanding skills in naval battles.

Moreover this water fog was summoned by Peter Pan using his newly learned deep-sea sorcery and served to block the sight of other empires’ warships.

Thanks to this Zeke and his group were able to climb up to Neverland without being detected.

Zeke realized that his decision to help the fishermen and bring them to his side was the right one.

Zeke slowly descended down to the boat where the hostages were being held.

The soldiers there had already been dealt with by the youth group.

As we descended to the very bottom of the ship the brainwashed fishermen sat chained and with glassy eyes.

Zig took out his jewel sword Roland and used Recovery with the wide-area buff.

Wooooow!

The light of recovery spread to the brainwashed fishmen.

After a while the brainwashed fishermen’s eyes came into focus again.

“Hey where am I?”

Several of the townspeople soon came to their senses.

Then Peter Pan approached the villagers.

“Aren’t you Lisa!”

“Shh everyone be quiet. Are you all awake?”

The townspeople nodded at Peter Pan’s words.

Thankfully Zeke seemed to have regained consciousness after his recovery.

“What is this price for the villagers?”

“That’s right. After we attacked them we gathered them in one place and held them captive.”

“Okay. Then let’s clean everything up and take the boat out.”

While the youth group freed the villagers Zig climbed up.

Then something popped out of the darkness.

Choaaaak!

A wizard in black robes sprayed a suspicious potion at Zeke.

Cheeeeek!

Zeke stepped back and dodged the poison but the wizard smiled wickedly and spoke to Zeke.

“It’s no use taking damage. The moment you inhale the smoke of the reagent your mind will be captured by me…”

The wizard who had been mumbling could not continue speaking after seeing the bloodshot eyes on Zeke’s forehead.

The wizard whose mind had been subdued could not refuse Zeke’s words.

Zeke slowly approached the wizard.

“I was waiting for you to show up anyway. I have a lot to ask you about the brainwashing of the Empire so let’s talk calmly.”

A few hours later as the sun rose and the fog slowly cleared chaos broke out in the Imperial camp. The Neverland which had clearly been intact had disappeared without a trace.

The imperial warships rushed to find the Neverland and the fishermen there but they had already disappeared without a trace.
