A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 356



Episode 356

Only after seeing Abel speak in precise sentences did Ramon’s stiff expression soften.

He looked at the priest and said

“If a creature from the demon world takes up residence in your head is communication possible?”

『It is possible because I will imitate based on the memories of the host’s life. However this guy currently has memories from before Abel was baptized. In addition the current body was forcibly revived through consciousness so there may be unexpected side effects.』

After hearing the priest’s words Ramon nodded while watching Abel slowly transform from a dragon to a human.

“This is enough. You just need to minimize your exposure to the outside world and only show your face when necessary.”

The problem was Arthur Draker.

It was questionable whether Arthur Draker would notice Abel’s condition.

Ramon frowned then raised his head.

Then he said to the priest

“I guess we’ll have to adjust our plans.”

The priest looked at Ramon and said

『Surely you are not going to bring forward the second baptism. No matter how much you insist on it it is impossible.』

Ramon shook his head at those words.

“I know that too. What I was talking about was the Empire.”

The priest was silent for a moment at Ramon’s words.

After a while he opened his mouth again.

“The Empire. Are you trying to take the Emperor’s place?”

Ramon nodded.

“Well in this state it seems impossible to leave Draker’s work to Abel.”

The Drake side still had many enemies.

Considering the newly emerging Zeke Draker as well as Kali who had consistently been Abel’s opponent and Arthur Draker who still had the most influence in the family it was only a matter of time before Abel’s secret was discovered.

But the Empire was different from the Drakes.

Ramon’s eyes flashed.

“Abel… will be crowned emperor of the empire.”

At those words the priest looked down at Abel who was tied to the stone altar and then said to Ramon.

“It takes more time to adjust the details.”

Ramon said with a sharp look in his eyes.

“The later it gets the more that fox-like Julius will seek to take the Emperor’s place. He will find a way whether it be finding the Second Prince or finding another member of the Imperial family and then making him the Regent.”

Ramon said to the priest.

“I’ll give you three days. During that time make sure Abel is able to communicate normally. That way there won’t be any problems with our future plans.”

Their original plan was to take over the Draker family with Abel at the forefront then merge it with the Empire and have him naturally inherit the throne.

In the process the plan was to start a war and have all the arrows of invasion of the continent be pointed at the Mad Emperor and then have Abel naturally attack the Emperor and Julius’ forces and take control of not only the Empire but also the entire continent.

However in the current situation attacking the Draker family first was rather unreasonable.

Ramon decided to push Draker back and take control of the empire first.

He looked down at Abel who was tied to the stone steps and said:

“Abel through you the continent will experience a new history.”

Zeke followed Arthur into the Draker family’s hidden secret space.

‘Here….’

The first thing that appeared before his eyes was none other than the sword statue.

An awakening ritual that Draker’s children must undergo when they turn twelve.

And through that awakening ritual the bloodline of Draker can receive the blessing of the Auror and become stronger much faster than other knights.

However Zeke actually knew through the system that the sword was acting as a kind of class determiner.

However since the swordsmanship could only determine classes related to inspection Zeke who was a healer class was unable to awaken and had to endure many hardships in his previous life.

And now before Zeke’s eyes a sword statue appeared that was the same but different. It was the same shape but it was twice as large as the sword statue used during Draker’s awakening ritual and it stood in the middle of a wide space.

Arthur Draker opened his mouth pointing to the sword statue.

“You know what this is right?”

Zeke nodded and answered.

“Yes isn’t that the sword used in the awakening ritual? It’s bigger than that.”

Arthur smiled at those words.

“Who do you think this swordsman is?”

Zeke thought deeply about Arthur’s sudden question and then opened his mouth.

“Could it be a sword god or something that has been passed down from ancient times?”

Then Arthur shook his head.

“It’s similar but it’s wrong. This sword is modeled after Drake’s ancestor.”

“yes?”

Arthur chuckled at Zeke’s words.

“This is the appearance of the sword master Shatton Draker the founder of the Absolute Sword Draker family.”

“…!”

Zeke was surprised by Arthur’s words.

It was not surprising that Arthur knew about the Absolute Sword and Shatton Draker.

What surprised him was the identity of the swordsman.

That would be the case since Zeke had seen Shatton Draker in his living form albeit in spirit form.

The Shatton Draker that Zeke saw in person had a slender body like that of a young boy and the sword he was holding was thin unlike the typical arming sword.

But no matter how I looked at the swordsman there was nothing in the least bit similar to Shatton Drake.

The statue of the swordsman with his broad shoulders sturdy physique and holding a huge sword like a bastard sword was clearly the image of a knight and there was no trace of Shatton Draker at all.

‘Where does that look like Shatton Draker?’

I began to wonder how much of what had been passed down through the Draker family starting with the legend of the Dragon Slayer was actually true.

Arthur looked at Zeke who was speechless in surprise when he heard that the swordsman was Shatton Draker and said to him in a surprised tone.

“You’re much more surprising than I expected. You’re the type of person who doesn’t get surprised easily.”

Zeke slowly opened his mouth pondering how to respond to Arthur’s words.

“Until now I only knew that the progenitor of the Draker family was the dragon slayer Terrakan Draker… but Shaton Draker is the progenitor? Are you by any chance the noble knight Shaton that I know?”

Arthur nodded to Zeke’s words.

“Yes that’s right. The noble knight Shaton the first knight of King Hero Caesar and one of the knights of the Clock Tower. Well it’s surprising since not much is known about him.”

The progenitor of the Draker family was known as the Dragonslayer Terrakan Draker.

In fact Drake has never officially stated this fact.

Because the legend of the dragon slayer was so famous everyone believed it.

Even within the Draker family few knew anything about the family’s history before the Terracan Drakers.

Arthur looked up at the sword statue and said.

“One of the most important things not known about Shatton Draker is that he was the first person to create the Auror training method.”

Zeke pretended not to know and looked surprised but it was something he already knew.

Shatton Draker created the Aura Method in the hopes that humans would become independent and independent of dragons.

He was also the one who created the True Dragon Sword the origin of the Yongsal method and led to the era of knights today.

Arthur Draker calmly explained Shatton Draker’s achievements.

As Zeke listened to his explanation quietly he realized one thing.

‘You don’t seem to know that Shatton Drake created the True Dragon Sword. Or do you know and are deliberately not telling?’

Zeke who had a certain understanding of Arthur’s methods noticed that he often used the method of limiting information depending on the situation to manipulate the opponent according to his intentions. So it was obvious that there was some intention in this explanation as well.

While Zeke was thinking these thoughts to himself Arthur explained that Shatton Draker had succeeded to the throne of the Kingdom of Kronos after the departure of the King of Heroes but had left the kingdom due to certain events.

In the meantime seeing that the events that occurred with Siemens Apollyon were omitted it seemed that they either did not know the related content or had limited information.

“Shatton Draker left the Kingdom of Kronos and wandered the continent. He traveled everywhere from the Central Continent to the Northern Continent the Southern Continent and even the Eastern Continent.”

Zeke looked at Arthur curious to see how far he would go with this story.

“Why is that? I don’t think it’s just a wanderlust thing.”

“As I said before Shatton Draker was the first to create the Auror training method. At the time no one knew what the power of Auror was. Shatton Draker created a method for humans to train their Aurors and become stronger so that they could protect themselves.”

Zeke nodded in admiration at Arthur’s words.

Arthur smiled with satisfaction at seeing such a Zeke and continued speaking.

“Shaton Draker who had finally completed the Auror training method returned to the Central Continent to spread it and teach other knights the relevant knowledge. However the knights at the time were already accustomed to artifacts and refused the arduous Auror training. Shaton who had been thinking about it made a decision.”

He paused for a moment and then opened his mouth again.

“I decided to establish my own family.”

Zeke was unaware of the process by which Shatton Draker established the Draker family so he focused more on Arthur’s words even if he was not sure if they were true.

Arthur gestured to Zeke.

“Come this way.”

He moved to the back of the swordsman’s office and entered through an arched door in one wall.

There surprisingly were numerous swords stuck in the floor.

Arthur said looking at the swords stuck in the floor.

“Zeke these are the swords used by the heads of the Draker clans through the ages.”

Only then did Zeke understand why there were so many old swords.

Looking at the countless swords of various forms that were commonly used at the time stuck in the floor it felt like this place was a sword graveyard.

Arthur walked towards the innermost part past the numerous swords stuck in the floor.

And he pointed to the sword that was stuck deep inside.

“This sword is the sword of the progenitor Shatton Draker.”

The sword Arthur pointed to was surprisingly a claymore-shaped weapon very similar to the Bahamut Zeke was using.

Since Zeke already knew what kind of sword Shatton Draker used he couldn’t help but be curious about the shape of the sword Arthur pointed at.

‘It’s so different from what I saw?’

Shatton Draker’s swordsmanship which he had experienced while clashing swords himself did not suit this type of claymore.

For Shaton who displayed fast and versatile swordsmanship the thin and slender single-handed sword he was holding was more suitable.

Arthur said looking at Zeke.

“Zeke pull out this sword.”

Zeke was taken aback by Arthur’s sudden words.

“Are you talking about this sword?”

“Yes I heard the same thing a long time ago when I came here with the previous lord. What do you think happened?”

“I don’t know.”

“I tried with all my might to pull out the sword. But it was impossible. The sword was as if it was glued to the floor without moving at all.”

Arthur paused for a moment and then looked at Zeke.

“Zeke take hold of this sword and pull it out.”

Zeke felt the hidden anticipation in Arthur’s words.

‘Why are you telling me to pull out this sword?’

He slowly reached out to the sword amidst many questions.

And he wrapped his arms around the handle.

‘uh?’

The moment he grabbed the handle Zeke realized immediately.

‘This sword. It’s made of adamantium.’

A sword made of god-slaying stone that can kill gods.

It was a sword that contained the power of the godsal just like the holy spear that Zeke had found at the ruins of the Holy King.

Adamantium also known as the God Stone could only be handled by those with the power of immortality.

Zeke an immortal class member felt intuitively that he could pull out this sword.

At that moment she felt Arthur’s gaze focused on her to an eerie degree.

‘this….’

Arthur was the Grand Master. It was impossible to fake it and pretend not to be able to draw the sword while standing right in front of him.

Zeke felt a sense of fear yet he could not understand why Arthur had asked him to pull out this divine sword.

‘If I back out here it will only arouse more suspicion.’

Zeke had no choice but to apply strength to the hand holding the sword and slowly raise it.

But then something amazing happened.

‘Not being picked.’
