A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 366



Episode 366

‘Kill Abel…’

As expected Julius was in an antagonistic relationship with Abel.

After thinking for a moment Zeke looked at Julius and said.

“In the first place all that’s needed is for the consul to obtain the bloodline of the Elector who is qualified to be an Imperial. Then we can mobilize the Imperial Army to attack him.”

Julius shook his head at those words.

“It’s no use since Rom has already fallen into their hands.”

Zeke frowned at Julius’s words.

“Falled into their hands? Are you talking about Abel and Siemens?”

Then Julius shook his head and slowly opened his mouth in fear.

“Evil demons… have taken over Rom.”

Zeke stroked his chin as he listened to Julius.

“The demons have taken over Rome… Is that a metaphor?”

At those words Julius jumped up from his seat and said.

“That’s not it! Literally the devil! I’m saying the devils have appeared!”

Julius’s eyes became bloodshot and red from excitement.

Zeke realized something in his violent reaction.

‘Have the demons appeared in Rom?’

Narak and Siemens were using artificial bloodstones to summon demons to the phenomenal world.

As the situation changed drastically it is possible that Abel was used to summon the demons and take over Rom.

Julius slumped down on his seat shivering.

He was so gripped by fear that it was hard to believe he was the general and consul who commanded the entire Roman Empire’s army.

Zeke asked Julius.

“Even so I don’t think he would harm the butler so why are you so afraid of Abel?”

Julius raised his head at Zeke’s words and held his head in his hands.

“The standard for not causing harm is completely different from that of humans like us… In Rom right now terrible things are happening that are unimaginable.”

Zeke clapped his hands as he saw Julius panicking again.

match!

Julius came to his senses at the loud sound of Zeke’s clapping and looked at him.

He said to Julius.

“I understand what the situation is. I have a few questions so I’d appreciate it if you could answer them.”

Julius nodded to Zeke’s words.

“I have 2nd Prince Leo and 4th Prince Karus as guests in my camp. Is it possible to oust Abel by making one of them the emperor?”

At Zeke’s words Julius bit his fingernails and trembled.

He tried to push away the fear of Abel from his mind and considered the possibilities.

Soon Julius nodded.

“If the 2nd and 4th princes come forward together we will be able to pull in even those who have declared neutrality.”

Originally the 4th Prince Karus was the 1st Prince in line for succession.

So Julius used Abel to brainwash the 4th prince Karus into joining his side and trying to bring the 1st prince’s forces to his side.

However Zeke intervened and succeeded in exiling the 4th Prince to Midland and imprisoning the 1st Prince but was unable to bring in his followers.

However if the 2nd Prince and the 4th Prince joined hands it would be possible to bring in not only Julius’ existing power but also the power of the former 1st Prince.

Zeke nodded after hearing that.

“I want to know which force among the 13th Legion has turned to Abel’s side.”

Julius grabbed his head and slowly opened his mouth.

“The Gemini the Bull the Cancer and the Magpie have turned around.”

Zeke frowned at those words.

‘Twins and the Ox and the Crab and the Goat. Not a good combination.’

Having fought in the Continental War against the Imperial Army in his previous life Zeke knew the characteristics of the 13th Legion and the abilities of its commanders.

The most troublesome group was the Knights of the Archduke led by Morgan Buffon but fortunately they had already died at the hands of Sieg.

But there was one more thing that was just as troublesome as the Sagyeon Palace.

‘Knight of the Magal Palace. Azmun Barrios.’

If Morgan Buffon was a strategist Azmoun was closer to a sinister schemer.

He was adept at manipulating people from behind the scenes and using unexpected tricks and schemes to achieve his goals.

Carlito who was the vice-captain of the Scorpio clan could be considered to be quite upright compared to Azmun.

There Azmun unlike Morgan had achieved the level of the Red Knight so he was also an outstanding figure as a knight.

The reason Morgan became the consul instead of Azmun in his previous life was because after the Continental War he started a civil war while opposing Julius and ended up dying at the hands of Abel.

But in this life with Zeke’s intervention the circumstances changed and it seemed like he was trying to side with Abel drive out Julius and take his place.

Zeke who was thinking looked at Julius and said.

“The black knights of the empire aren’t reacting at all?”

Julius shook his head at those words.

“There hasn’t been much talk yet. From the Black Knights’ perspective as long as they don’t get hurt they don’t care who becomes the emperor or if the empire is destroyed….”

“Even if the 2nd and 4th princes come out the black knights won’t move?”

Julius nodded and opened his mouth.

“If another kingdom or Draker were to lead an army and invade Rom then we would step forward. However right now strictly speaking it is a civil war so the Black Knights think that it is not the right situation for them to step forward.”

Siemens’ intervention was also treated as a civil war because of Julius’s assurance that Abel was of electoral blood.

But Zeke responded immediately as if he found it difficult to understand.

“The demons I mentioned earlier. It’s hard to understand why the Black Knights don’t intervene just because of the civil war even though those demonic seeds are trampling on Rom and committing massacres.”

Julius shook his head.

“I don’t know about Draker but most of the Black Knights of the Empire have a title higher than Marquess. Even though I am a Consul and a Grand General I am not in a position to conscript or command them at will. They have the authority to refuse orders from the Emperor and the Council.”

When Zeke heard that he looked at Julius and said.

“In other words this means that even if the Black Knight intervenes in the civil war Abel’s side has no reason to stop it.”

Julius frowned at those words.

“That’s true but… the Black Knights will never move. Unless they are threatened….”

Julius who was speaking looked at Zeke in surprise.

“Are you planning to drag Abel into a civil war by threatening them?”

Julius was definitely quick to assess the situation.

Zeke opened his mouth and looked at him.

“Abel in his madness is committing massacres without regard for consequences. There is no guarantee that he will not be touched just because he is the Black Knight.”

At Zeke’s words Julius’ face became a little more lively than before.

“As the Lord said if Abel touches just one of the Black Knights… the situation will be completely reversed.”

Zeke leaned back and crossed his legs as he looked at Julius.

“Will you join hands with us and drive Abel and the Siemens out of Rom? Or will you continue to live in fear and enjoy power under Abel as you do now?”

Julius pictured Abel in madness.

Emperor Nero was also crazy but he did not act as crazy as Abel.

‘If I leave Abel like this one day I too will become their prey.’

Julius thought briefly and nodded.

“Help me. Save the Empire from his clutches.”

Zeke nodded to Julius’ words.

“Good. Let’s work together for the peace and well-being of the empire.”

Zeke extended his hand towards Julius.

Julius hesitated for a moment then quickly grabbed Zeke’s hand.

The two men were shaking hands and about to conclude their meeting.

“Ugh…..”

At that moment Julius’s body began to tremble violently.

Black smoke rose from his mouth and nose and his grasping hand held onto Zeke’s tightly refusing to let go.

“Ugh ugh ugh!”

Julius writhe in pain.

I felt something moving under the skin of the arm that was holding Zeke’s hand.

“Eww!”

In that moment something burst out of Julius’s arm piercing his skin.

Choaaaak!

A disgusting tentacle made of bright red blood burst out and lunged at Zeke.

The moment the sharp teeth sprouting from the tentacles were about to pierce Zeke’s eyes a bright light burst out from his body.

Keeeeeeek―

The tentacles retreated in confusion at the light of the holy light emitted by Zeke.

At that moment Zeke snatched the tentacle and immediately injected the power of the Holy Light into it.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk―

The tentacles that touched the light of the Holy Light disappeared emitting black smoke.

Zeke immediately put Agamemnon’s mask on his face.

Then tentacles burst out from Julius’s skin all over his body.

“Cough!”

Julius came to his senses gasping for breath.

Zeke took Julius’ hand and unleashed the power of purification.

Woooo …

A golden aura filled the room.

The tentacles that were rushing towards Zeke were instantly destroyed and scattered into dust.

The problem was Julius.

The internal organs inside my body where the tentacles had been hiding were all shaking and I felt like I would suffocate at any moment.

Zeke immediately cast a healing buff on Julius.

Woooo …

Thanks to the healing that Zeke gave Julius was able to regain consciousness as his damaged organs recovered.

“Keuh-uh-uh!”

But soon the seeds of the tentacles hidden inside his body began to become active again.

Zeke grabbed Julius’ body before the tentacles could emerge again and blew a strong force of purification into him.

Whew Whew Whew Whew―

A golden aura flowed into Julius’s body.

Inside his body the power of purification and the parasites from the demon world began to fight.

“Ugh!”

The parasites ate away at Julius’s internal organs trying to somehow escape the power of purification.

However Zeke continued to apply healing buffs to Julius and heal him.

Thousands of parasitic seeds tried to ignite eating away at Julius’ body but the power of purification was stronger.

The seeds that had been struggling to torment Julius’ body were eventually touched by the power of purification and gradually disappeared.

“Kueeek!”

Julius fell black blood pouring out from his mouth.

The blood he spat out contained many white eggs that appeared to be the seeds of parasites.

The eggs that had not yet died were wriggling like larvae.

Julius who had been spitting out blood stepped back in horror at the sight of the eggs.

“Ugh ugh… What the heck is this….”

Zeke destroyed all the surviving eggs with the power of purification and approached Julius who was leaning against the wall.

Then she grabbed his shoulder and spoke calmly.

“Even if it hurts bear it. It’ll be a headache if even one of them survives.”

He kindly tore off the sleeve of Julius’s clothes and put it in his mouth.

Zeke unleashed a stronger force of purification than before completely eradicating the last parasites remaining in his body.

Julius writhe in agony and soon loses consciousness.

Zeke released him only after he was sure that the parasites inside his body were completely gone.

‘Those damn bastards. I never thought they’d actually plant something like this in Julius’ body.’

Siemens and Narak were enough of these guys.

Zeke’s eyes sharpened as he thought of them.

‘If Julius knew he was here for a secret meeting he would never let it go.’

At that moment Muhammad came rushing into the security room.

“Sir Ji Ji-k!”

He was so shocked that he covered his mouth when he saw Julius collapsed against the wall.

Zeke shook his head at Muhammad.

“Julius is fine so don’t worry. But what’s going on?”

Muhammad wiped away the cold sweat and barely managed to calm down before opening his mouth.

“Monsters are pouring out of the portal that suddenly appeared!”
