A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 352

Episode 352
Kwajik!
The spear was stuck in the emperor’s heart.
At the same time a message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.
[The black snake in the mouth of the fallen constellation has its source damaged by the power of the gods.]
[The black snake in the mouth struggles to escape from the incarnate body.]
[The power of the God of Death anchors the source of the constellation to the incarnate body.]
Zeke grabbed the Holy Spear stuck in the Emperor’s body and summoned the power of purification.
Woohoo!
A golden aura permeated the Emperor’s body and immediately the Emperor screamed in pain.
“Kuaaaah!”
A black aura began to flow out of his body.
After Zeke summoned Solomon’s Ring he activated his power towards its energy.
[Solomon’s Ring’s unique power seal is activated.]
The black energy flowing from the emperor seeped into Solomon’s ring.
Tsk tsk tsk―
A black aura surrounded the ring and was soon sucked inside.
Zig held the Holy Spear and brought the ring close to the Emperor’s body.
“Krrrrrrr!”
The emperor shuddered as if he was out of breath.
At that moment several messages quickly appeared before Zeke’s eyes.
[The black snake within the mouth of the fallen constellation makes an urgent offer to the Immortal.]
[He offers to grant her any wish without any cost.]
[He says that if you just let go the deal can be made without any price.]
Zeke continued to absorb the black energy with his ring ignoring the rising message.
Soon all the black energy left the emperor’s body and a pattern was engraved on Solomon’s ring.

Unlike the faintly engraved blood and madness riders with a part of the source sealed the black snake symbol in the mouth was clearly engraved.
As soon as I checked it a message popped up.
[The constellation ‘Black Serpent in the Mouth’ that fell into Solomon’s ring was sealed.]
[The true name of the black snake in his mouth ‘Belial’ is engraved on Solomon’s ring.]
[It is possible to use the unique ability ‘Deception’ of the fallen constellation ‘Belial’ once a day.]
Unlike the regular demons the fallen constellations had their original names hidden.
However when the source was completely sealed in Solomon’s ring the true names of the constellations were revealed and his powers were made available.
‘The power of deception…’
Then a message came up.
[Achieve the amazing feat of sealing the Fallen Constellation.]
[Acquire the title Demon Hunter.]
[Due to the influence of the title the special skill Giant Hunting Technique changes to Demon Hunting Technique (S-rank).]
[When using the Demon Hunting skill a 1.5x additional hit effect is applied to the fallen constellation and its followers.]
[Active skill: Blade of Brilliant Light proficiency increases.]
[You will earn 10000 karma points based on your achievements.]
Zeke nodded seemingly satisfied with the results of his efforts to seal the fallen constellation.
Then he looked at the emperor from whom Belial’s power had been drained.
The emperor who had become a monster due to the corrupted power completely lost his power and was left barely breathing when the fallen constellation was sealed.
Zeke grabbed the spear stuck in the Emperor’s heart and spoke to him.
“Now that I think about it I didn’t say that.”
He looked at the emperor and said:
“The Elder Dragon relic you were looking for. I took it.”
For a moment Zeke felt the Emperor’s eyes waver.
He looked down at it quietly and pulled the spear out of his heart.
Tsk tsk tsk―
As soon as the Holy Spear was removed the Emperor’s body began to disintegrate at a rapid rate.
Zeke immediately raised his shadow and absorbed the Emperor’s body.
Ss …
Within moments the Emperor’s body was absorbed into Zeke’s shadow and a message soon emerged.
[Removed the corrupted incarnation that was completely eroded by magic.]
[1000 Karma Points will be awarded as compensation.]
[I have consumed a corrupted incarnation that has been completely consumed by magic.]
[The consumed stamina and mental power mana replenishes.]
[By absorbing the incarnation the proficiency of the Dragon Tribe skill ‘Absorption’ increases.]
[Absorbs the blood system ability ‘Regeneration (S-rank)’ of the gluttonous incarnation.]
[Active skill ‘Regeneration (S-rank)’ changes to constitution ‘Immortal’.]
[The mana cost of healing factor is reduced due to the immortal constitution.]

[The proficiency of the special skill Soul Sealing increases due to the immortal constitution.]
‘Immortal constitution?’
Originally a healer class Zeke awakened to the unique class of immortal after the awakening ritual.
Since becoming immortal my class has never changed and I have never heard of a constitution called immortal body.
Zeke confirmed the information on the ‘Immortal Body’.
―Immortal Body―
An immortal body that cannot be destroyed. It can quickly recover from injuries and can exert powerful soul powers.
Zeke was able to figure out why his proficiency in soul sealing had increased due to the effects of immortality.
‘The power of a strong soul.’
He looked at it and guessed that the real power of the immortals was not the ability to regenerate the body but the power of a powerful soul.
This is because I thought that the power of Shinsal which only immortals can use is also only exerted by the power of a strong soul.
Among the skills that Zeke possessed the ones that used the power of the soul were the Honshinki and the Dragon Skill Astral Sword.
‘If I am destined to stop the resurrected Demon King I must hone these skills.’
Among them Zeke paid attention to the Honshinki he had learned from Nigel his teacher in his previous life.
In fact the most powerful skill he possessed was the Elemental Sword.
However this technique was still too inefficient for Zigg to handle and since it used mana itself it was not suitable for use against constellations that had to be struck with the power of the soul.
The only thing that could directly hit the fallen constellations or demons was the Honshinki.
He felt that he had to pass on to his teacher Nigel the skills he had not yet fully learned.
‘Does this mean I have to go see the Master on my own two feet?’
Just thinking about it makes my stomach churn.
Even after becoming a black knight Zeke was still afraid of his master Nigel.
This was because he had suffered so much in his past life and even if he were to compete with his master now he still had no confidence that he could win.
He didn’t know it in his previous life but now that he had reached the level of a Black Knight he was guessing that Nigel might be at the level of a Grand Master.
‘If I can fully transfer my full power and use the Triple Spell I too can reach the level of Grand Master.’
The power of the Black Knight alone was not enough to deal with the fallen constellations that would come into contact with the Demon King.
Zeke decided that he had to go to the Forest of the Forgotten as soon as possible.
‘I have to go quickly to prevent the Empire from extracting the sealed ones in the forest and also find Shaton Draker’s secret.’
After organizing his plans for the future and making up his mind Zeke looked around thinking that he should slowly clean up his messy resting place and return to Badoka.
He first approached Gillian who was lying sprawled out next to him.
Fortunately his life was not in danger because Zeke had applied a healing buff but it seemed that he had not yet regained consciousness.
He went out the door and reached out to the golem knights who were slammed against the wall battered and battered by Gillian.
[Would you like to restore the summoned Golem Knights?]
Having inherited the power of the Holy King and gained the title of “He who inherits the brilliant light” Zeke became the master of the golem knights who guarded the sanctuary and was able to register them as summons.
After checking the message Zeke unsummoned the Golem Knights for restoration.
It seemed like it would take quite some time for the broken golem knights to be restored.
Later Zeke was looking around to see if there were any surviving Imperial troops when he found Carlito hiding in a corner with his head buried in the ground.
“Come forward.”
As Zeke’s powerful charisma was unleashed Carlito could not refuse his words and trembled as he ran forward.
Then he immediately knelt down in front of Zig.
“Please save me!”
Carlito hid and saw what Zeke did.
He single-handedly annihilated the Emperor’s powerful bodyguard defeated the brainwashed Gillian and defeated the Emperor who had become a monster before destroying his body with shadows.
In Calito’s eyes Zeke was more than just a terrifying monster.
Zeke used his power of shadow control to read Carlito’s memories and find out who he was.
‘Vice-captain of the Knights of the Heavenly Palace.’
Since he had risen to his position through political power Calito had a wide network of connections and thus knew quite a bit about the empire.
Zeke hesitated and then opened his mouth to Carlito.
“Do you want to live?”
Calito pleading earnestly hitting the floor with his forehead.
“I want to live! I’ll do anything if you just let me live!”
Although Carlito was a small man he was also a capable person.
Zeke thought about it for a while and then looked at Carlito and said.
“Raise your head.”
As Carlito carefully raised his head Zeke met his eyes and activated his bloodshot eyes.
Tsk tsk tsk―
Zeke used the power of his bloodshot eyes and the power of his shadow domination to subdue Kalito’s soul.
“Ugh!”
Carlito felt his heart being squeezed by something and shuddered in pain.
Zeke said looking at Carlito.
“Carlito Luciano. Wherever you are the moment you betray me your heart will burst and you will die. If you have any doubts you may test it.”
At Zeke’s words Carlito shook his head and said.
“Doubts of my lord! How could I do such a thing to my master! I will serve him with loyalty for the rest of my life!”
It was Carlito who immediately declared himself Zeke’s slave.
Zeke thought that since it had come to this he should get information about the Empire through Kalito and take advantage of their weaknesses.
After he had neatly disposed of all the dead imperial troops by corruption he closed the door to the resting place and went out again.
Carlito followed Zeke carrying the fallen Gillian.
Zeke came out and said to Carlito.
“Go and inform the main force of the destruction of the advance party and the death of the Emperor but do not return to the Empire. Instead bide your time and surrender when I return with the knights.”
There was no way for Carlito whose soul was captured by Zeke to resist.
He returned to the main force of the Imperial Army which was waiting helplessly behind the roadblock blocked by Richmond as ordered by Zeke.
Calito brought out the Emperor’s bloody banner as evidence and reported the Emperor’s death.
The military commanders were confused and at a loss as to what to do after hearing that the emperor was dead.
The commanders were also already intoxicated by the magic and stimulants of the cult so they were unable to make sound judgments and continued to discuss meaningless things.
Under Zeke’s orders Carlito cleverly distracted the commanders and held them in place to prevent them from returning to their home country.
And a few days later the Black Sword Knights showed up with Zeke and as planned Carlito scared the commanders and made them hesitate to act.
However the conflict of opinions was quite fierce and there was no small amount of momentum among the commanders who insisted that they should immediately wipe out Zeke Draker’s Knights and return to the Empire with some merits.
In the midst of all this internal turmoil Zigg led his knights and attacked the confused imperial army.
“Among the knights of the empire whoever wants to compete with me come forward.”
In response to Zeke’s provocation several of the commanders sent out their knights to raise morale.
But none of the knights of the empire could withstand more than three strikes from Zeke’s sword.
The commanders were intimidated by Zeke’s reputation as a knight of salvation and his exceptional skills and the argument that they should fight against him gradually lost its force.
Carlito constantly made them feel uneasy reminding them that the Emperor was dead and that if they fought here and were defeated and returned to the Empire they would be held responsible for the Emperor’s death and defeat.
Since they had come running without any supplies and only pillaging they had no food or basic necessities to last longer.
Of course even if he decided to return the path would be blocked.
In the end the commanders agreed with Calito’s words that surrender was the only way to guarantee food and necessities in the worst possible situation and surrendered to the Black Sword Knights.
With less than a thousand knights Zeke accepted the surrender of an army of over 20000 men.
The Imperial soldiers exhausted from long hours of hunger and fatigue seemed to welcome surrender even more.
Zeke led 20000 surrendered imperial troops and headed to the Holy Land of Badoka.
Zeke was able to once again establish his reputation as a knight of salvation throughout the continent by successfully saving the Holy Kingdom following the Ghetto region.
And after safely returning to the Holy Kingdom of Baadoca Zeke had to immediately receive a message from Arthur Draker from Atlas.
