A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 347



Episode 347

‘There’s a continent beyond the Dark Sea?’

When I first heard Duke talk about the Dark Sea I vaguely thought there might be something there but I never thought there would be a continent.

‘Cronus said ‘The truth is hidden beyond the Dark Sea.’

Terrakan Draker said that the way to revive the dead Bahamut lies beyond the Dark Sea.

Zeke’s expression hardened as he thought about Terracan Draker’s words.

‘Could it be that the way to save Bahamut was to use the Book of the Dead?’

He recalled the maddening expression on Terracan Draker’s face that remained in the footage.

The image of a weary hero who has lost his soulmate and has lost the meaning of living.

He disappeared without even revealing that he was the father to his son Geo Lubern.

‘A forsaken continent beyond the Dark Sea. I need to find out more about it.’

Zig raised his head and looked at the King.

“If as Your Majesty says the Book of the Dead is beyond the Dark Sea then there is no way to break the Demon King’s seal. So isn’t this arrangement really unnecessary…?”

Then the king shook his head.

“Although the great sages and dragons sealed it as with all things nothing is perfect. The Demon King’s powerful soul continues to emit evil energy and create its own seeds even while sealed.”

When Zeke heard the King’s words he felt something was off.

“Could it be the demons…?”

The Highlanders believed that the demons emerged from beyond the Giant Mountains which bordered the Dark Sea.

If these evil spirits were caused by the power of the sealed Demon King in the abandoned continent beyond the Dark Sea then it would be understandable why they kept appearing.

The King looked at Zig and said.

“The people of the Abyss believe that one day the spirit of the Demon King will break the seal and lead them. They are preparing the vessel while waiting for that time.”

Zeke realized what Narak and Siemens were doing to resurrect the Demon King.

‘So then is this mean that Narak has been preparing Abel’s body as a vessel to bring down the Demon King?’

Cain died at the hands of Zeke and Abel took his place as a vessel and was given the Dragon Heart.

He wondered who had planned all this.

‘Ramon Siemens.’

By now it was clear that he was the focal point of the effort to revive the Demon King.

Now that Abel has died at the hands of Zeke he must be desperate to find a new vessel.

‘There is only one way. Erase Siemens.’

Without Siemens Narak would be without its power source.

Zig’s eyes sparkled and he set his sights on a new goal.

But then the King’s body began to gradually fade away.

“your majesty?”

The King said as he watched his body gradually becoming transparent.

“It’s almost time now.”

He said looking at Zeke.

“Successor. I am sorry to have placed such a difficult task upon you. Please use the Holy Spear to stop the Demon King and bring peace and tranquility to the world.”

The King approached Zig.

Then he placed his hand on the chest where the dragon’s heart was sleeping.

Although the heart of his mother Bahamut was sleeping inside Zeke’s body the Holy King was unaware of this fact.

The King looked at Zig and said.

“It was nice to meet you my distant descendant. May your journey be blessed with light.”

Wooooow!

A huge light emanated from the hand the Holy King placed on it and that light entered Zig’s body.

The body of the Holy King transformed into light and dispersed filling the entire space with bright light.

At the same time a message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[The power of brilliant light is released.]

[The title Knight of the Brilliant Light is changed to the title Heir of the Brilliant Light.]

[The proficiency of the special skill Holy Light increases due to the influence of the title.]

[The title’s influence increases the proficiency of the active skill Lightning. At the same time the attribute of light is added.]

[The proficiency of the Blade of Purification increases due to the influence of the title.]

[The Blade of Purification transforms into the S-rank skill Blade of Brilliant Light.]

[You acquire the special skill ‘Holy King’s Spear (S-rank)’.]

[The special skill Seongwang Spear Technique can be linked with the special skill Seonggwanggi.]

Woohoo!

Zeke could feel the power of the Holy King filling his body.

At the same time his eyes were filled with light.

* * *

After the light faded Zeke slowly opened his eyes.

‘Here….’

The surrounding scenery had changed again.

A chapel decorated in the style of the Luverne dynasty unfolded before his eyes.

In the center of the chapel stood a stone statue of Gio Luverne standing in armor with a sarcophagus beneath it.

Zeke slowly approached the sarcophagus.

The surface of the sarcophagus was painted with a symbol of the sun that had been seen in several historical sites including the ark.

Zeke looked at the symbol and suddenly realized something.

‘Ah this is not the sun but a symbol of light itself.’

The Holy Empire founded by Geo Lubern initially worshipped the god of light who symbolized the creator god.

However with the collapse of the Luverne Dynasty and the division of the Holy Empire its nature has now changed to that of the Cult of the Sun.

In the process the shape of the badge also seemed to have changed.

Zig slowly opened the lid of the sarcophagus feeling the insignia engraved on its surface.

If the emperor was after the remains of the Holy King he had to collect them first.

Zeke opened the lid of the sarcophagus and looked inside.

But what was inside were not the remains of the king.

“What is this?”

Surprisingly what was inside was an old window.

And that old spear was none other than the Holy Spear Longomiant which held the power of the Godslayer.

‘Was it not the remains of the Holy King that the Emperor was after but this Holy Spear?’

He slowly reached out his hand towards the Holy Spear.

At that moment light burst out from Zeke’s chest.

‘What is this?’

A veil of light rose from Zeke’s chest just like the one carved into the surface of the sarcophagus.

He recalled how the Holy King had transmitted the power of light to him at the last moment.

And at that moment a message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[The Holy Spear Longomiant detects one who inherits the title Brilliant Light.]

[I confirm that I am the rightful successor to the Holy See.]

[The Seongchang Longomiant regains its original form.]

Woohoo!

The sacred spear that had been quietly placed inside the coffin slowly rose into the air.

As the light flowing out of Zeke’s body enveloped the Holy Spear the appearance of the Holy Spear that absorbed the light began to change.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk―

The surface of the old shabby window rippled.

‘It looks different from the one in the glass case before?’

[The Holy Spear Longomiant has completed its transformation into a form that fits the soul of the successor.]

Surprisingly the changed appearance of the Holy Spear had a similar shape to the black sword Bahamut that Zeke was holding.

The previous form of the Holy Spear that Zeke had seen was shaped like a spear to fit the soul of Terracan Draker.

Geo Lubern the next successor to Terracan could not become the full owner of the spear so he kept the spear in its original form at the time of Terracan but Sieg who possessed the power of immortality was able to draw out the true power of the spear.

Zig reached out to the newly transformed Holy Spear.

Woohoo!

The castle vibrated slightly as if accepting its new owner.

Zig took hold of the Holy Spear.

Then surprisingly the Holy Spear disappeared like smoke and seeped into Zeke’s right arm.

Tsk tsk tsk―

When Zeke lifted his clothes he saw a tattoo-like pattern on his right arm.

“Like chains the Holy Spear is engraved on the body.”

I summoned my will and summoned the spear just like when Zeke used the soul sealing technique.

The pattern responded immediately and the Holy Spear appeared in front of Zig.

Zeke looked closely at the adamantium spear of the god of death.

“A spear that has the power to kill a constellation. With this it should be possible to destroy even the fallen constellations.”

The group of the Abyss was using the Bloodstone to bring not only the Demon King but also the Demon Tribe into the world of the living.

In order to stop the demons who had escaped the power of the phenomenal world the power of this god was needed.

Zig put the spear back in and raised his head to examine the statue of Geo Lubern.

He bowed his head toward the statue of the Holy King and then turned around.

That was when.

Kookookookook!

The moment he caught sight of the vibrations occurring outside the shelter Zeke’s eyes lit up.

‘Now it is time to hunt the emperor.’

* * *

The Knights of Calito and the Scorpio followed the Knights of the Order of the Guard to where the Emperor was.

The Emperor was staying in a hollow where his hounds had set up a camp that had been prepared in advance.

The hounds and the cultists were exploring the remains of the Holy King.

As they reached the Emperor’s place the cult wizard approached Calito.

“His Majesty has ordered you to lead your knights and explore this place.”

Calito realized that the Emperor had called them to help him explore the ruins.

‘Fuck.’

Because he had to continue to pretend to be brainwashed Carlito silently participated in the dungeon exploration shouting praises to the Emperor.

The hounds and the knights of Scorpio followed the cult’s wizards into the ruins.

After walking for a while into the underground space we came across an underground catacombs with traces of the Louvre Dynasty.

Although the path was as intricate as a maze the wizards of the leading cult found their way without much difficulty thanks to the power of the fallen constellation.

This was because the staff they held contained a skull with snakes coiled around it and by the shaking of the statue the meaning of the constellations could be read.

After wandering through the underground passages for a while a giant door appeared before them.

The door was engraved with a badge of light different from the one currently used by the Order of the Sun.

It was a symbol representing the original form of the Church of Light before the division of the Holy Empire.

The socialites slowly approached and placed their staff in front of the door.

Then the skull began to shake violently.

The wizard shouted in joy.

“This is the ruins of the Holy King! I found the tomb of Geo Lubern!”

The wizard who found the remains of the Holy King returned straight to the camp and reported this to the Emperor.

“Your Majesty! We have found the remains of the Holy King!”

The emperor beyond the curtain spoke to the wizard breathing heavily.

“Open the door. I must retrieve the remains of the Holy King as soon as possible and regain my original form.”

The wizard bowed his head and said.

“I understand. Soon the black snake in my mouth will grant Your Majesty the glory of youth and eternal life.”

The magicians of the cult were busy preparing a ritual to open the gate leading to the Holy King’s ruins.

The black serpent in their mouth which they worshipped was the constellation of contracts and deception.

If you pay the price by offering a proper sacrifice the black snake in your mouth will give you a proper reward.

In this way he was able to intervene in the phenomenal world in a number of ways compared to other fallen constellations.

As part of his ritual the wizards took one of the wounded knights and sat him on a blood-painted magic circle and began to recite a spell.

The knight trembled in fear and begged the wizards to spare his life.

But the wizards didn’t pay any attention and just chanted a spell and poured a suspicious liquid from a bowl onto the knight’s head.

As the orders gradually increased the knight began to show strange reactions.

“Euuuuuuu…..”

The knight twisted his body as if in pain.

Then one of the wizards took a dagger out of his bosom.

“Please open this gate for I offer sacrifices to the great constellation!”

It was at that very moment as the wizard chanted the spell that he swung his dagger intending to stab the knight in the heart.

Kookookookook―

The entire catacombs began to shake as if an earthquake had occurred.

Phage crackle-

An unusual reaction occurred in the magic circle drawn by the wizards.

The social wizard shouted sensing an ominous aura.

“There is someone here who interferes with the consciousness!”

At the wizard’s shout the hounds and even the knights of the Scorpios stepped forward with their swords drawn.

Calito looked around gritting his teeth.

‘What the hell is going on?’

It was highly unlikely that Carlito freed from the spell of the cult would have any loyalty to the Emperor left.

He of course and the other knights of Scorpio were also extremely exhausted their eyes were bloodshot and red and the bags under their eyes were hollow.

Calito prepared himself to flee at any moment if it seemed like other enemies were coming.

And then something appeared before those who were watching the surroundings.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk―

White smoke began to settle on the floor and frost began to form on the walls.

The sudden cold caused white steam to burst out of his mouth.

Calito stepped back in confusion.

‘What is this all of a sudden….’

Within moments a masked Elemental Lich Bane emerged from the white cold air shouting at the Imperial forces.

“Who dares to defile this place where the Holy One sleeps!”
