A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 364



Episode 364

‘Stop the Draker family?’

Carly nodded looking into Zeke’s confused eyes.

“It wouldn’t be surprising if you were flustered when I suddenly brought up this topic.”

“No I just wondered what it meant to block the family line.”

Carly nodded at Zeke’s words.

“On the surface I was the most Drake-like of knights. And I was in fact until I was given the rank of Guardian Knight.”

“So did your thoughts change after you became a Guardian Knight?”

Carly took another sip of her tea paused for a moment then spoke again.

“The Draker family… was a lot more problematic than I thought.”

The power of Draker the ruler of Midland and the one who holds the Central Continent in his hands is beyond imagination.

Although Ishtar and Nirvana are classified as one of the three great transcendent families they are no match for each other in terms of actual influence.

There was no single nation or empire within the Central Continent that could be compared to the Drakers except that it did not have the form of an empire.

Zeke looked at Carly and asked.

“You already knew Sister that Draker did not get to this position in a clean manner.”

Kali shook her head at his words.

“I’m not talking about the cold cruel Drake way.”

“Then what is it?”

Carly hesitated and then slowly opened her mouth.

“The Draker family is trying to rule the Central Continent as they please.”

“There is no place in the Central Continent that can oppose the Draker family.”

Carly looked at Zeke and said.

“Why do you think that would be? Just because Drake had many strong knights?”

Only then did Zeke realize what Carly was talking about.

“Are you saying that Draker is interfering in other kingdoms as well?”

Carly nodded.

“Drake uses every means at his disposal to maintain power. He does not hesitate to use assassination blackmail bribery and even brainwashing.”

Zeke was surprised by Carly’s words which were much more radical than he had expected.

‘They’re no different from those Siemens guys.’

For a moment something crossed Zeke’s mind.

‘If they were interfering in various ways for a brief moment of power… Siemens’ many illegal experiments. Could it be that Draker didn’t know about that?’

Zeke then realized what he had been overlooking until now.

He clenched his molars.

‘Everything Siemens did was ultimately done with Drake’s approval.’

Zeke was convinced that Draker had been aware of both Siemens’ illegal experiments and the black magic rituals connected to the Abyss but had neglected them.

We will only bring the experimental results that came out in the name of Siemens and nip the bud of conflict before it grows any bigger.

It was a very Drake-like way.

Realizing that fact Zeke clenched his fists and tried to suppress his rising anger.

‘I’ve forgotten about this damn family ever since I returned.’

Zeke thought back to the miserable past he had suffered in his past life and pondered the truth about Draker.

Then Carly looked at Zeke and said.

“Guardian Knights are responsible for preventing the dark side of Drake from being exposed to the outside world. They are literally responsible for protecting the honor of their family.”

Zeke realized why Duke had judged Carly to be lacking in ability.

It wasn’t that he lacked ability but that his temperament was too upright to tolerate Drake’s dirty deeds.

For similar reasons Duke would not have become a Guardian Knight.

On the other hand Zeke was far from having such an upright disposition.

That must be why Arthur chose Zeke as his successor not Kali.

Zeke said looking at Carly.

“Do you want to reform your family Sister?”

Carly’s expression became complicated after hearing his words.

She opened her mouth with difficulty.

“…Actually I don’t know. What I want to do. I’m a knight. A knight is someone who trains with a sword is loyal to someone and carries out the missions assigned to them well. As a knight I and as a Draker I had to make such different choices. That’s why I’m still confused.”

Carly was troubled the whole time because she was proud to be a knight of Draker but could not tolerate Draker’s evil deeds.

Karl Lee who had been silent with a complicated expression looked at Zeke and said.

“I’m sorry Zeke. I’ve put a lot of pressure on you.”

At those words Zeke shook his head.

“No. I know exactly what you are thinking Sister.”

Zeke took Carly’s hand and said.

“As someone who has just become a Guardian Knight I think it is still too early to judge everything. However if a major crossroads arises for me as a Guardian Knight I will definitely tell you then.”

Carly smiled brightly after hearing Zeke’s words.

“Yeah that’s enough.”

Carly got up from her seat with her face looking much lighter.

“Zeke you don’t know how reassuring it is to have you by my side as my Guardian Knight.”

“Me too sister.”

Zeke saw Carly off and returned to his seat.

But when Zeke returned to his seat he had an unpleasant expression on his face.

‘It doesn’t seem like my sister made this decision simply because she couldn’t stand Drake’s evil deeds.’

Zeke with his dragon senses could sense that Kali wasn’t telling the whole truth.

‘Maybe I’ve found out something about Arthur Draker.’

Arthur Draker as the head of the Draker family was the one who held the most secrets.

As Kali carries out her duties as a guardian knight she may have come face to face with Arthur’s true nature and felt great resentment towards her position as head of the household.

Zig sat down and looked out at the view of the four seasons lost in thought.

‘I am different from my sister. I will survive this hell and swallow Draker whole.’

A bad relationship with Draker that has continued from a previous life.

Zeke vowed to himself that he would definitely cut off that bad relationship in this life.

* * *

“You have arrived at the Dorta Peninsula. Please disembark safely from the shuttle. Have a nice trip to Dorta.”

Zig opened his eyes to hear the announcement.

‘We arrived in Dorta.’

As I was getting off the portal shuttle Hades who was sitting next to me started grumbling.

“Hey I guess it’s faster if I just fly why do I have to go through all the hassle of taking this primitive portal?”

Zeke said as he looked at Hades like that.

“If you were to transform into your true form these days people would be terrified. They believe that dragons enslaved humans. What would you do if they all became dragon slayers and chased after you to catch Hades?”

Hades grumbled with his mouth sticking out at Zeke’s words.

Then Yellin who was next to him looked embarrassed and tried to comfort Hades.

“Lord Hades. You must be bored so why don’t you have some of this?”

Yellin took out the sweet cookies she had prepared in advance.

Hades frowned at the sight of the sweets.

“Do you think I’m a little kid? Hey these guys are really toying with me.”

Even as he said that Hades snatched the snacks Yellin had given him and stuffed them into his mouth.

As soon as the warm cookies entered my mouth my dissatisfaction was clearly reduced.

Zeke smiled with satisfaction at Yellin’s wit.

As he went out of the terminal Muhammad was waiting for Zeke again.

“Sir Zeke!”

Muhammad whom he had not seen in a long time greeted Zik with a moved expression.

“I am honored to serve the most renowned Knight of Salvation on the continent!”

It was already known throughout the continent that Zeke had been given the title of Guardian Knight.

Because Zig’s reputation was so great even if he didn’t really step forward to announce it the news outlets would try their best to report on him.

Zeke shook hands with Muhammad whom he hadn’t seen in a long time and smiled.

“It’s been a while. But….”

When he turned his head he saw Muhammad preparing to welcome Zik in a magnificent golden chariot decorated with flowers and even had a band and dancers present.

I didn’t really like this kind of hassle but I couldn’t refuse because of Muhammad’s sincerity.

“What a nice carriage.”

Muhammad smiled broadly at Zeke’s words.

Eventually Zeke and his party had to travel to the hotel in a fancy golden carriage.

As expected of a Zayed family member Muhammad was very neat in his dealings.

The hotel’s most secure upper floor was reserved for Zeke and no one other than Zeke and his party was allowed to enter.

The top floor was given to Zeke and Hades Yellin while separate rooms were provided for Luther the guide and Omar the messenger of the Murk Empire.

After finishing my meeting with Julius here I planned to go straight to meet the Sultan.

Hades sitting on the mat in Zeke’s room opened his third bag of snacks and spoke.

“The Eastern Continent. I went there once before following Hyperion.”

Hades added that Lord Hyperion of the Silver Clan was a craftsman who created the most elaborate and excellent magical weapons among the Dragon Clan.

Zeke nodded as if he understood fully because just by looking at the Holy King’s Golem Knight he could tell how excellent Hyperion’s skills were.

Hades recalled the time he had gone to the Eastern Continent with eyes filled with nostalgia.

“I remember meeting with Hyperion and the dragons of the East and having in-depth discussions about their weapon-making methods. It was really fun. But that’s all in the past now.”

Hyperion was never seen again as he had fallen asleep during the War of Liberation while he was imprisoned in Blanca.

Zeke asked Hades out of curiosity where Hyperion’s lair was and he replied that it was on the Northern Continent.

Since one of the places where the Seal of Kronos was located was the Northern Continent Zeke thought that one of the pieces of the Seal would be in Hyperion’s Lair.

Zeke gathered his thoughts and asked Hades who was lying down.

“So have you made any progress in your research while I was away?”

Zeke first sent the orichalcum he had obtained by raiding the cardinals and bishops in the Holy Kingdom of Baadoka to Hades.

It was to keep the promise with Hades.

Then Hades became angry at Zeke.

“Human! Who would put something like that in their nose? If you found the holy relic I’d make a ton of orichalcum!”

Zeke clicked his tongue as he looked at Hades like that.

“You said that would require at least a week of effort on the relics. Am I the kind of person who likes to play? I’ll make more when I have time so just try using what you have first.”

Hades grumbled at Zeke’s words saying that his mind was different when he went in and when he came out and then waved his hand in the air. Then two armors appeared out of thin air.

Zeke tilted his head at the sight of the armor.

“Is this also Hersion? Wait doesn’t this armor look similar to the one I brought from the Dragon Slayer’s Rest and the Heavenly Rest?”

Hades nodded.

“Yeah I took what Paynon and Gellion had and studied it some more.”

He turned the armor around and pointed to the slot on the back.

“You don’t know what this is?”

Zeke nodded.

“Yes when I looked at it then the high-compression magic stone fit perfectly into that slot.”

Zig replied recalling the first time he had found the dragon slayer’s haven.

These armors were placed in the Dragon Slayer’s Resting Place which I happened to find while searching for high-pressure magic stones to make Gelion’s Furnace.

At that time I tried inserting a high-compression magic stone into the armor’s groove but the equipment was old and did not work.

Hades chuckled and waved his hand again pulling out a high-compression magic stone.

“Where did you get that? It’s hard to find these days.”

“I saw a fairy stone rolling around so I made one.”

Zeke was surprised by Hades’ words.

“Do you also know how to make high-pressure magic stones?”

“Why are you surprised by something like that? You can make a compressor put a magic stone in it and compress it. But if you only put in a magic stone the quality will drop so you have to put it in with a fairy stone to get good output.”

Hades responded nonchalantly and placed the magic stone he was holding into the slot in his armor.

Then the eye area of ​​the armor helmet began to glow.

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

[Recognizes Dragon Slayer-exclusive equipment.]

[A magic battery has been installed on the Dragon Slayer’s exclusive equipment.]

[Operate the equipment.]
