A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 34



Episode 34

When I was promoted to mid-level manager it seemed like a lot of features were added.

Zig opened the status window for the first time in a long time.

The quest mission was completed by obtaining the Elemental Sword as soon as the blocking wall was opened.

Zeke could feel himself breaking through the wall and rising to the level of the Red Knight.

Seeing such a Zig Caesar nodded with his arms crossed.

“Yes to that extent you need to be a successor to my legacy. But it’s still far from enough.”

Zeke asked Caesar.

“Isn’t there a separate application for the Elemental Sword? If there’s something like a finishing move or ultimate move I’d like to learn that too.”

“You idiot. If you swing it properly you can create a storm and split the earth so why do you need an ultimate skill? Only people without skills look for things like finishing moves and ultimate skills.”

As expected Caesar was living in his own self-importance.

Still given Caesar’s abilities it was somewhat understandable for him to say something like that.

“What will happen to Your Majesty now?”

“Now that I have passed on the Elemental Sword I must return to the spirit world.”

“Is it impossible to return from the spiritual world to the phenomenal world?”

“If a powerful spirit like me descends indiscriminately the laws of the world will collapse. Karma will not allow it.”

Zeke was surprised by Caesar’s words.

“Did you say karma? What on earth does that mean…?”

In that moment Caesar’s body began to turn transparent.

“I’m going now. Don’t go around getting beaten up like that. Tell the world about my achievements.”

Whether he came or left Caesar only said what he wanted to say.

Soon Caesar became completely invisible and as he disappeared the sky-blue jewel on the stage completely lost its light.

“As for your personality I don’t know if you’ll be able to get along well with fairies.”

After Caesar left Zeke went into his room and filled his inventory with everything he could take with him.

Then after a few months I was able to open the gates of the ruins and come out.

I wanted to test out my new power and have a go at Hydra but the guy was nowhere to be seen.

After waiting for the next time Zigg turned on the minimap to leave the ruins and go down the mountain.

At that time a new feature of the map was activated.

[A new feature has been activated allowing portal movement.]

[Places that the administrator has moved to that can be accessed via portals are marked on the map.]

‘Is it possible to move through the portal?’

Zeke checked the map.

Among the areas he had been to places where portal movement was possible were marked with a flashing sign.

He checked the portal travel area in Argos.

[Points deducted when using the portal: 150]

When I clicked on the moving area here and there it seemed like the points deducted changed depending on the moving distance.

With hounds roaming the Giant Mountains and it being later than expected to reach Valhalla Zeke decided to spend his points to use the portal.

[Move to the specified area.]

[The portal is activated.]

For a moment my eyes started to blur and I felt dizzy.

The portal’s characteristic trembling passed through my whole body.

When Zeke raised his head he was already near the old ruins of Argos.

“oh my god.”

Although it costs points it seems like this feature would allow you to move freely anywhere on the continent.

Zeke returned to his resort and prepared to go to Atlas.

It had already been a month since the entrance period to Valhalla.

He hurried to Atlas the largest city in the Central Continent and the center of Midland.

* * *

“In the ten years I’ve been in Valhalla this is the first time I’ve seen anything like this.”

The old knight in a suit looked at Zeke with a stern expression.

He was Flaubert Borges the Grand Master of Valhalla a place where every knight aspires to enter.

Flaubert was elected as the Grand Master of Valhalla despite not being from the Draker family.

He was such a respected knight throughout the continent that when he became chancellor there was no noise.

This is because he was a man of great skill and popularity having served as the longest-serving knight commander of the Thebes Kingdom which had a long tradition.

That is why the anecdote that Arthur Draker came to him three times to ask him to become the headmaster of Valhalla is still told to this day.

Thanks to this Valhalla’s reputation grew even more after Flaubert became the president.

Flaubert who was famous as an excellent knight and a man of principle looked back and forth between the letter of recommendation placed before him and Sieg who was standing before him.

“So why are you late? Surely you didn’t know that the semester starts in March.”

Since it was impossible to say that he had been captured by the King of Heroes and trained at the ruins Zig changed the subject slightly.

“I went to Argos for closed-door training and got so absorbed in the training that I didn’t realize how quickly time had passed.”

Flaubert hearing those words glared at Zig with sharp eyes.

“Are you saying that the closed training was more valuable than a month in Valhalla?”

“That’s not what I meant. I was just so absorbed in finding the path of the sword I was looking for at the time that I forgot about the time.”

“Hmm….”

Although Flaubert was a man of principle he was not rigid or inflexible.

Since he was also an excellent knight there were some parts of what Zeke said that made sense.

Flaubert nodded and said.

“What you said makes sense to some extent but Valhalla has its own rules.”

He said looking at Zeke.

“I will judge you based on the results of your training in Argos. If I determine that your training is more valuable than a month in Valhalla I will grant you admission.”

“Are you asking me to show you the results of my training?”

“That’s right. Why aren’t you confident?”

Zeke shook his head.

“No. Can we start right now?”

Flaubert shook his head and rang the bell.

Then someone came into the room.

“Get one of the empty training rooms and take Zeke Draker there. Then contact the full professors in each department and tell them to gather in the training room immediately.”

Zeke followed the president’s secretary to the training room first.

Since I had never been to Valhalla in my previous life the unfamiliar buildings felt new and strange.

“This way.”

It was too large and equipped for an empty training room.

‘As expected Valhalla is Valhalla.’

As he was looking around the training room the president Flaubert came to the training room with other professors.

Each and every one of the professors were knights of renowned fame on the continent.

As Zeke stood in the middle of the training ground the president sitting in the audience seat spoke to Zeke with shining eyes.

“Show us the results of your training. The professors of each department will evaluate the content and make the final decision.”

Zigg who was standing blankly in the training ground was troubled by the president’s words.

I had no idea what I had to show to satisfy that picky principal.

‘I can’t show you the Elemental Sword here. I’m worried.’

Zig decided to safely use the Whirlwind and Dragon Slaughter techniques.

He took out Bahamut and took up a stance.

The president and the professors of each department looked at Zig with sharp eyes.

It was a look in his eyes that said “If you want to try go ahead and try.”

As Zeke focused his energy on Bahamut the aura blades shot up.

It was just as he was about to unleash his whirlwind technique.

“Oh my God!”

Someone exclaimed even though I hadn’t done anything.

When Zeke looked around wondering what was going on he saw the professors all looking at Zeke’s Auror Blade with astonished expressions.

‘Oops.’

When he was with King of Heroes Kaiser the Auror Blade was his only skill and he was considered a slow learner.

But when he returned to reality he had become a peerless genius who had created the Auror Blade at the age of fifteen.

Zeke shut his eyes tightly and blamed his mistake.

What’s already been spilled can’t be helped.

He put away his Auror Blade and greeted her politely.

“It is an embarrassing skill to show to the president and other distinguished professors.”

The professors were once again impressed by the character of the pureblood Awakened Draker who had become a Blue Knight at the age of fifteen as he displayed such politeness.

The president spoke in a much more subdued voice.

“It was a month of precious enlightenment.”

“I was so dull that I was struggling to catch a clue that seemed so elusive and I ended up losing track of time. I apologize again.”

Then the president smiled and said as if his mood had completely lifted.

“Haha if you are stupid what will become of us?”

The other professors also laughed loudly at the president’s words.

The evaluation was completed safely in a friendly atmosphere and Zeke was able to receive permission to enter Valhalla.

After the work was finished he went to Atlas’s quarters which Decker had prepared in advance.

With the black card I received from the head of the household I was able to purchase a luxurious mansion not far from Valhalla.

“welcome.”

As he entered the mansion the servants greeted Zeke.

Decker who was more of a knight than a knight also bowed his head towards Zeke.

“How was Valhalla my lord?”

“It’s okay. I’ll start coming next week. I’ll send you the necessary documents for admission so please take care of them.”

“Understood my lord.”

Zeke went straight up to his room.

As soon as I arrived I went to Valhalla in a hurry so there were still random boxes and random skill cards left that I hadn’t opened yet.

‘There are three random boxes and three random skill cards.’

I had already opened the random box before.

But this was the first time I had seen a random skill card.

Zeke opened the random box first.

One pair of boots one pair of lower body armor and one pair of earrings came out.

―Boots Information―

Description: Boots made from strong yet lightweight tungsten carbide.

Unique Ability: None

Special feature: When you complete the full set of Yuncheol its unique ability is activated.

-Lower Body Armor Information-

Description: Lower body armor made of strong yet light meteorite.

Unique Ability: None

Special feature: When you complete the full set of Yuncheol a unique ability is activated.

―Earrings Information―

Description: Earrings with delicately crafted crystals.

Special Features: Looks great with a red dress.

They were somewhat decent items.

Following the gauntlets even the lower body armor of the boots was made of iron.

It occurred to me that one day a full set might be created.

This time he decided to open a random skill card. Since it was his first time he felt a bit cautious.

Within seconds the card began to glow and a message appeared.

[Opens a random skill card.]

[Active skill ‘Static Electricity (C-rank)’ is registered.]

[Active skill ‘Flashbang (C-class)’ is registered.]

[Active skill ‘Dissonance (C-rank)’ is registered.]

A total of three active skills have been registered.

Zeke read the skill description.

-Static: Gives the weapon an electric shock.

-Flashbang: Fires an incredibly bright light blinding enemies.

-Dissonance: You can confuse enemies by making unpleasant sounds.

Zig tried out the newly opened skill shortcut slot feature this time.

Three blank spaces appeared before his eyes.

When you press the slot you can choose one of the active skills to put into it.

Zig put the flashbang dissonance static into the slot one by one.

[The skills you put in the slot can be used just by thinking about it.]

As he checked the message he grabbed the dagger and remembered to use static electricity and immediately an electric current flowed from the blade.

“Oh. That’s interesting.”

Once a skill has been used it can be used again only after waiting a certain amount of time.

Zeke similarly activated the potion slot.

It was a feature that allowed you to consume potions just by thinking about them by putting the desired potion in the three slots.

It seemed like it would be useful in urgent situations during battle.

While looking through the potions he had to fill the slots Zeke found a bottle containing the Fairy King’s Tears that he had received as a surprise mission reward.

‘Now that I think about it what is this?’

Zeke read the description of the Fairy King’s Tears.

-Tears of the Fairy King: You can summon the Fairy King once from the spirit world.

“Summoning the Fairy King?”

In legend the Fairy King appears as a being who grants humans’ wishes.

‘So can I use this to summon the Fairy King and make a wish?’

After thinking about it for a while Zeke carefully put the Fairy King’s Tears back into his inventory.

I don’t know if it will ever come to fruition but I thought it might come in handy.

dripping!

There was a knock on the door and with Zeke’s permission Decker entered the room.

“what’s the matter.”

He approached Zeke and said.

“Your Majesty a guest has arrived.”
