A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 345



Episode 345

Zig was embarrassed when he saw the King’s Herzion.

‘Why is the Holy King wearing the Hersion of the goddess Theia?’

Although it was different in form from the Hersion he had received from Cain he could feel that what the Holy King was wearing was the same Hersion he had of the goddess Theia.

The Holy King wearing Herzion looked down at Zig from his throne.

“Your successor.”

The voice of the Holy King echoed in Zeke’s head.

As he stretched out his hand a surprising light gathered and a silver spear was grasped.

‘window?’

Of all the stories told about King Seongwang I have never heard of him using a spear.

Woof woof woof!

But the King naturally grabbed the spear and the silver spear in his hand began to vibrate.

The King looked down at Zig and said.

“I will personally test the qualifications of the successor.”

As soon as he finished speaking a flash of light appeared from the Holy King’s spear.

Kookookookook!

A powerful light flew in as if trying to pierce through Zig’s body.

Wheeeeeek!

Zeke immediately drew Bahamut and blocked the flash.

Phage phage phage!

Surprisingly a flash of light from the window transformed into lightning and enveloped Zeke’s body.

‘Ugh!’

Zeke tried to block the lightning by using his magic blocking technique.

However even though I activated the magic sealing technique the light lightning did not disappear.

‘It’s not magic?’

Zeke stepped back aura forming all over his body.

Tsk tsk tsk―

Only then did the flash of light finally disappear.

However the figure of the Holy King in front of the throne was not visible.

‘no way?’

Before he knew it the King had moved to Zeke’s blind spot and was swinging his spear at him.

Kwakwakwakwa!

A loud bang sounded from Zeke’s side.

Phew!

Zig immediately deployed his Welcome Technique turned around and then used his Dragon Slaughter Technique.

Quaching!

Zeke’s sword clashed with the King’s spear.

‘The attack is heavy.’

Zeke’s wrist started to tingle after being attacked.

It felt similar to when I faced Poseidon.

The King did not hesitate and continued to swing his spear at Zig.

Phew!

A sharp spear flew towards Zigg spinning.

He swung his sword and tried to strike the King’s spear but the rotational force of the spear pushed Zig’s sword strike back.

‘this!’

Pachin!

The Holy King’s spear struck Zeke’s body.

Kkwadduk!

As the spear struck his body Zeke also opened his Hersion.

In an instant Teia’s Hersion wrapped itself around Zig’s body.

Although he was able to block the spear strike with Hersion the shock was not completely relieved so Zeke’s body was pushed backwards.

‘Phew.’

Only after his body stopped moving did Zeke look up at the King who was holding his sword and pointing the tip of his spear at him.

The King swung his spear around and spoke to Zigg.

“Is this all there is to it Successor?”

Zeke straightened his posture as he watched the King provoking him.

Then he spoke to the king.

“If I defeat you will I be recognized as your successor?”

At those words the king struck the floor of the audience room with his spear.

Kkwadduk!

The solid floor split and cracked into several pieces.

“If possible try to do so.”

At the words of the Holy King Zeke grabbed Bahamut and drew out his energy.

Kugugugugugu―

As the power of the Black Knight was fully released the entire audience room instantly became Zeke’s domain.

The astral sword’s energy rose from Zeke’s sword.

Shhh!

As he swung his sword the Holy King’s spear bounced upward.

At the same time Zeke used both magic blocking and strong wave resonance.

Pfft pfft pfft!

The two techniques that Zeke used disrupted not only the flow of magic power but also the flow of aura and electricity jumped out of Theia’s Hersion that the Holy King was wearing.

The King retreated at Zig’s sudden attack.

Zeke didn’t miss the gap and used his welcome technique to penetrate the King’s blind spot.

Wheeeeeek!

Zig who had spread out his golden field swung his sword towards the Holy King while wearing a strong body.

Kkwadduk!

Zig’s sword imbued with the power of gold was imbued with the power of ten thousand pounds.

The King who blocked Zeke’s sword had his feet sink into the floor from the unexpectedly strong sword strike.

Zeke didn’t stop there and continued to thrust his sword.

“Haaaah!”

He swung the sword imbued with golden power repeatedly.

Infinite Sword

Continuous attack

Eight-legged

Kwakwakwakwa!

Without giving the King a chance to counterattack Zig quickly swung his sword.

Quaching! Quaching! Quaching!

The King also quickly moved his spear to block Zig’s sword strike but once Zig’s sword got into the swing of things it showed no signs of stopping.

Before he knew it the king was cornered against the wall.

He set up his spear and blocked Zig’s sword slamming it into the ground.

Kwakwakwakwa!

The floor cracked from the force of the impact sending shards of stone flying out.

The Holy King tried to throw fragments at Zeke to give him a chance to catch his breath but it was completely useless on Zeke who had opened up his Astral Sword and was ruling the realm itself.

Pavabavabat!

The fragments that had been flying towards Zigg had all turned to dust and scattered.

At the same time azaleas rose from Bahamut and formed a single shape.

Zeke swung the Astral Sword towards the Holy King destroying the source itself.

Then at that moment a golden aura burst out from the Holy King’s body.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk―

The aura created by the Holy King was something that was familiar to Zeke as well.

‘The Mask of Agamemnon.’

The aura of purification took hold of the Holy King’s spear and a brilliant light burst out.

The brilliant light created by the Holy King and the Astral Sword clashed.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwang!

As different forces collided and canceled each other out the entire surrounding area was filled with a halo of light.

Phew!

The shock wave pushed Zig back.

The Holy King slowly got up leaning against the wall holding the spear with a faint ripple of aura.

Zigg regained his composure and aimed at Bahamut speaking to the Holy King.

“Do you still need more testing?”

At Zeke’s words the King waved his hand and the spear turned into light again and disappeared.

“The test is over. You have proven yourself worthy of being the successor.”

Zig released Herzion at the King’s words.

“That’s great. But I have a question.”

He took a step closer to the King and said:

“What does the successor that the Holy King speaks of mean?”

At Zeke’s words the King looked at him silently and then raised his hand.

“I have something to show you.”

He snapped his fingers.

Then the scenery that had been the audience room began to ripple and soon changed into a different appearance.

It felt similar to the heroes who remained in spirit form in the Upside Down Tower.

‘Did the Holy King leave behind his spirit body to pass something down to future generations? Wait a minute but what about here…?’

The completely changed space looked similar to the previous dragon slayer’s resting place.

On one wall of the large circular hall were several doors leading to other rooms.

And in the middle of the room there was a high platform with stairs leading up to it and on top of it was something made of glass.

The King gestured to Zeke.

He slowly followed the King up onto the platform.

What was inside the glass case placed on the stage was none other than a window.

Zeke looked at the window inside the glass case and suddenly realized something.

‘This window… is made of adamantium.’

The only metal that can kill a god.

It was a spear made of adamantium the metal of the gods.

Zeke had previously pulled out the adamantium spear that had been sealing the body of the dragon Poseidon.

The spear of divine slaughter used by Siemens Apollyon to seal the divine dragon who attempted to bring down the Demon King into his body.

The spears of that time were simply made by sharpening a blade from crude adamantium and then attaching it to a spearhead.

But the window now inside the glass case was made entirely of adamantium from the blade to the shaft.

The King said to Zeke.

“The reason I call you the successor is because you are the next owner of this spear.”

Zeke was surprised by the King’s words.

“You are the master of the Adamantium Spear. Are you telling me to become a god slayer?”

The King nodded.

『As the new master of the Holy Spear Longomiant you must inherit the destiny to kill the resurrected Demon King.』

Zeke was surprised by the King’s words.

“Holy Spear? What does it mean to be destined to kill the resurrected Demon King?”

I heard through Kronos that the Demon King would be resurrected but I never thought it would come out of the mouth of the Holy King.

The King looked at Zig and said.

『Originally it was the previous successor Terracan Draker who should have completed it but he did not use this Spear of the Godslayer and ended up sealing the Demon King’s soul.』

He continued speaking.

『I the next successor tried to complete the mission of destroying the Demon King that Terracan Draker could not but it was impossible. It was because I was unable to fully use the Spear of the Godslayer.』

Zig heard the King’s words and guessed something.

‘Siemens Apollyon Terracan and I. All possessed the power of immortality.’

In order to properly use the divine power contained in adamantium it may have been necessary to have an immortal class.

And if the Holy King only had the power of the healer class and not the immortal class it would be understandable that he would be able to use the purifying power contained in Agamemnon’s mask but not the power of the godslayer.

Zig looked at the King and said.

“Why didn’t Terracan Draker completely destroy the Demon King with this spear?”

The king remained silent for a while and then slowly opened his mouth.

『Terracan Draker refused to destroy Bahamut which contained the Demon King’s soul. That’s why he destroyed Bahamut’s body with his sword Zahak instead of the Spear of Godslayer and sealed only the Demon King’s soul back into the Book of the Dead.』

Zeke was startled by the name ‘Zahhak’ that the King had mentioned.

‘If it’s Zahak is that the magic sword that Abel used?’

Abel attacked Zeke with a sword called Zahhak and a form of Hersion that he had never seen before.

The identity of the Hersion Abel was wearing was still unknown but the identity of the sword he was holding had been revealed.

‘I never thought that sword would be Terracan Draker’s sword.’

The sword that destroyed Bahamut the shadow dragon possessed by the Demon King.

An indescribable evil power was felt from the Zahhak that Abel was holding.

Among the many legends I once read a story about a holy sword that cut down a demon and drank its blood countless times turning into a powerful magic sword that controlled the mind of its owner.

Zahhak may have also been transformed into a demon sword.

At that moment the Holy King clenched his fist and looked at the Holy Spear inside the glass case and said.

『…If only Terracan Draker had properly destroyed the Demon King’s soul back then the world would have found peace and tranquility again. I can’t help but feel regret.』

Terracan Draker could not possibly kill Bahamut his contract partner and soulmate.

But as he listened to the King’s words Zeke felt something strange.

‘Doesn’t the Holy King know that he is the child of Bahamut and Terracan Draker?’

No matter how I looked at it it didn’t seem like he thought of Terracan Draker as his father.

Zig asked the King.

“Your Majesty do you know… how my mother Claudia Luverne died?”

The king was silent for a moment at the sudden question.

Then he continued speaking slowly.

“I believe he died in battle shortly after giving birth to me.”

Zeke realized that his prediction was correct.

‘The Holy King did not know that Bahamut was Claudia Luverne.’

Zeke also found out the truth through the story he heard from the hermit and the memories of the past that remained in the ruins.

If Terracan Draker had intentionally hidden this the Holy King might not have known who his parents were.

Zig looked at the King again and asked.

“Then do you know who the king’s biological father is?”

At those words the King looked at Zig while wearing his helmet.

It might have been a rather rude question but the person in front of me was not the actual Holy King but a spirit.

It was more important to obtain the necessary information than to be polite to the spirit.

He looked at Zeke and then shook his head.

“…I don’t know. Not only the nanny who raised me but also my mother’s colleagues didn’t tell me about it. ”

It was clear that Terrakan had entrusted the raising of King Geo Lubern to someone else hiding the fact that he was his biological father.

‘I guess I understand why you followed the name of Luverne and not Drake.’

That was when.

The king removed Herzion’s helmet.

Then the face of the Holy King hidden inside the helmet was revealed.

And only then did Zeke see the real face of the Holy King and he was taken aback.

‘uh?’

The revealed face of the Holy King was exactly like Zeke’s.
