A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 371



Episode 371

Zeke asked Arataso after seeing the bizarre incarnation that had the power of two constellations.

“Arataso what the heck is that?”

Then Aratasso spoke in a voice that seemed to say he couldn’t believe it.

[The power of one constellation is accepted by another constellation… Well if Viper is the clone of the one who endlessly covets then it is possible.]

The fallen constellations traded souls for what they needed.

The endless greed for the division and multiplication of the soul has devised a scheme to take advantage of this transaction.

The transaction of borrowing the retinue of another constellation in exchange for a soul had already been carried out before.

And beyond borrowing vassals he tested whether it was possible for fallen constellations to trade powers with one another.

The infinitely greedy one offered a bargain to borrow power from the judge of the ceaseless struggle.

Any other demon would have rejected his offer outright but the Judge of the Constant Struggle was curious.

He accepted the deal and it allowed the clone of the Insatiable Greed to fully utilize its power.

The Judge of the Unceasing Struggle was the ruler of Balrog and the master of the Tuma tribe so he was able to strengthen his clones with his power and create incarnations with powerful fighting abilities.

The Viper now incarnate looked down at Zeke with its wings spread.

[The fallen constellation ‘The Insatiable Greed’ eyes the Immortal.]

As expected the endlessly greedy one seemed very angry at Zeke.

But then a new message occurred to me.

[The fallen constellation ‘Judge of the Ceaseless Struggle’ observes the Immortal with interest in the power’s reactions.]

It seemed that even the ‘Judge of the Ceaseless Struggle’ was able to see this situation thanks to the power lent to the incarnation of the ‘Endless Greeder’.

Black smoke rose in clumps from Viper’s mouth as he transformed into an incarnation.

Soon smoke gathered and small clown-shaped demons formed smaller than Viper’s body.

Krrrrrr!

The guys let out a creepy laugh and then rushed towards Zeke.

Zeke picked up his hammer and swung it at them.

Kwakwakwang!

But before the hammer could even touch them the little demons’ bodies exploded.

The explosion was so powerful that Zeke had to step back.

Then the Viper burst through the dust cloud and charged at Zeke.

Kwakwakwa!

Viper attacked Zeke swinging a giant scythe he had created with his fighting skills.

Pachin!

Zeke took out Bahamut and blocked Viper’s scythe.

He held his hammer in one hand and Bahamut in the other and glared at Viper with downcast eyes.

[The fallen constellation ‘Judge of the Ceaseless Struggle’ takes an interest in the Immortal’s fighting style.]

As a constellation crazy about fighting it seemed like he liked Zeke’s fierce battles.

Zeke swung his hammer with one hand while blocking Viper’s scythe with the other.

Boom!

The hammer slammed into Viper’s side.

But the shield created by the speculative technology blocked the hammer.

Viper smiled wickedly satisfied with the powerful power she had borrowed from the ‘Judge of the Endless Struggle’.

[The fallen constellation ‘The Insatiable Greed’ makes an offer to the Immortal.]

[He says that if you offer your soul now it will relieve some of your suffering.]

Zeke snickered at the endlessly greedy man’s offer.

“It’s saltier than the black snake in your mouth. I understand why you only have clones and no proper followers.”

At Zeke’s words Viper frowned and let out a roar then used his throwing technique to create twelve black scythes and hurled them at Zeke.

Saaaaah!

Each one of them held a power as strong as a condensed aura blade.

Zeke put the hammer down on the ground and grabbed Bahamut drawing energy from it.

Tsk tsk tsk―

The energy of the Astral Sword gathered around Zeke’s sword.

The Astral Sword that cuts the source was a powerful force that could even affect the constellations that resided in the incarnate body.

The endless greedy one was bewildered by the primal power he felt from Zeke’s sword and tried to step back.

But Zeke’s sword was faster.

Kwakwakwakwa!

He rushed towards Viper and swung his Astral Sword with a different swordplay than usual.

It was not an infinite sword but an elemental sword that unleashed a field of water power.

‘Completely release your strength.’

When learning swordsmanship from Caesar Zigg found this hydraulic field the most difficult.

But the one who covets endlessly was a constellation capable of division and multiplication of the soul.

To strike properly it was necessary to dig into the source and cut off the flow itself.

Zig concentrated his mind and imagined the clear flow of water releasing all the strength from his body and reaching a state of exhaustion.

[The power of the passive skill Limit Break is in effect.]

Viper sensing an ominous aura from Zeke went into a frenzy and unleashed a barrage of attacks.

Kaaaaaaah!

Dozens of black scythes erupted from his body and Zeke saw a stream of scythes flying towards him.

‘Break the flow.’

Zeke’s sword moved like waves.

Elemental Sword

The hydraulic field

Short-cut sword

Choaaaah!

Just as water flows and falls Zig’s sword moves with the flow.

The black scythe was interrupted and scattered by Zeke’s sword.

Viper cried out in disbelief at seeing this.

“Ahhhh! Judge of the ceaseless struggle! This is different from the contract! Add more strength quickly!”

Zeke’s sword continued to advance towards Viper without stopping.

The power of the Astral Sword flew towards the source of the endless greed that resided in Viper’s body.

At the same time the flow of the sword changed.

Elemental Sword

The hydraulic field

Countercurrent Sword

The flow of water changed and wrapped around the source of the viper cutting it down.

Kwakwakwakwa!

The reverse flow of water swallowed up even the power of the endlessly greedy one who tried to divide and multiply.

Viper the incarnate couldn’t come to his senses as if he was underwater.

Zeke continued his attack calmly.

Chorrrrrr!

He grabbed the chain and grabbed the hammer. He swung it with all his might towards Viper combining the power of Haeju the power of the gold field and the power of his soul.

Honshinki

Double Spell

The will to crush

The hammer filled with the power of the spirit struck Viper’s body.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

Viper who was hit by a hammer with the will to crush had his entire body blown to pieces even though he was an incarnation.

Since the source had already been damaged by the countercurrent sword it could not properly exert its ability to divide and multiply so its entire body was just twitching.

Zeke took out Solomon’s ring and approached Viper.

Then an urgent message came to mind.

[The ‘Insatiable Greed’ makes an offer to the Immortal.]

[He says that if the fight ends like this he will grant the immortal any wish he wants.]

Zig looked dumbfounded when he saw the message.

‘The black snake in the mouth or the endless greedy person this is what happens when things get to their disadvantage.’

One only has to look at the dead Emperor Nero to see how the fallen constellation’s proposed wish would come true.

Without further ado Zeke approached the scythe Viper was holding.

Then he took out Solomon’s ring.

As I held the ring towards the scythe I felt the energy of the endless greed seep into the ring.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk―

A black mist flowed out and was absorbed into Solomon’s ring.

After a while a coin-shaped pattern was engraved inside the ring and a message appeared.

[The fallen constellation ‘The Infinitely Coveting’ has been sealed in Solomon’s ring.]

[The true name of the endlessly greedy one ‘Mamon’ is engraved on Solomon’s ring.]

[It is possible to use the unique ability ‘Proliferation’ of the fallen constellation ‘Mammon’ once a day.]

As the seal was placed on Solomon’s ring it was also revealed that the true name of the one who covets endlessly is Mamon.

At that time a message related to the ‘Judge of the Unceasing Struggle’ came to mind.

[The ‘Judge of the Unending Struggle’ admires the struggles of the Immortals.]

[The ‘Judge of the Unending Struggle’ says he will keep a close eye on the Immortals’ struggles in the future.]

True to its name the Judge of the Constant Struggle seemed to be interested purely in the struggle itself.

‘The devil’s attention.’

As Zeke made a displeased face messages about compensation came to mind.

[Achieve the amazing feat of sealing the Fallen Constellation.]

[The proficiency of the Dragon Clan skill Spirituality increases.]

[The proficiency of the special skill Soul Sealing increases.]

[Active skill Bloodshot Eyes proficiency increases.]

[Active skill Stealth proficiency increases.]

[Active Skill Clone’s proficiency increases.]

[You will receive a special random box as a reward.]

[You will earn 10000 Karma Points based on your achievements.]

Mammon was a constellation with the ability to split souls and multiply through them.

That’s why it seemed like the proficiency of skills related to the soul had increased.

‘It’s been a while since I received a special random box.’

All the artifacts that came out of the special random boxes so far were unique items so I was looking forward to it.

Zig took out a special random box from his inventory.

A happy smile came to my face when I saw the golden color unique to the special random box.

‘I wonder what will come out this time.’

At this time Arataso who was holding a spear and approached next to Zig looked surprised when he saw the random box.

[The box of the constellation again…! It’s a precious thing that even the servants have a hard time receiving. The world is truly unfair.]

In today’s world only Zigg could directly receive an artifact containing the power of the constellations.

This would never have been possible without the power of the system.

Seeing Aratasso’s reaction Zeke felt anew what kind of power he was using.

‘The Kabbalah system is engraved into my soul by the blessing of the Elder Dragon. Hades said that only the Elder Dragon knows the true identity of this system…’

However the Elder Dragon had already disappeared long before the Liberation War.

‘If we collect all the Seals of Kronos and reach the Temple of the Beginning we may be able to find information about the Kabbalah System.’

Zig left his thoughts on the Kabbalah system aside and opened the random box first.

Hooooooooooo!

A colorful light flashed and an artifact appeared from a random box.

Zeke tilted his head as he looked at the artifact inside the box.

“What is this?”

This time what came out of the special random box was none other than a small book.

Zick picked up the book and checked the information.

―North Information―

Description: A drum imbued with the power of the ‘Judge of the Endless Struggle’ the ruler of the Tuma tribe.

Unique Abilities: Summon Earthquake and Magma

Special Note: Can only be used on a battlefield filled with the spirit of heated struggle.

“Summoning Earthquakes and Magma?”

Zig read the information from the North with a look of absurdity.

It seemed like something related to defeating the ‘Judge of the Unending Struggle’ had come out.

There was an artifact that contained the power of the ‘Judge of the Endless Struggle’ before and that was a hornpipe.

The horn’s ability was to summon meteors while this drum had the ability to summon earthquakes and magma.

Arataso nodded after hearing the North’s abilities.

[A drum that summons earthquakes and magma. What a precious artifact. If they were demons they would go crazy and run towards it.]

Zick shook his head looking at the book with a serious expression.

“If I use this on the battlefield it seems like everyone both friendly and enemy will get swept away and die. How am I supposed to use it?”

[Such things happen every day in battles in the Demon World.]

Arataso made a face as if to ask why that was a problem.

Zeke who didn’t really want to know what was going on in the Demon World didn’t respond to Aratasso’s words and put the artifact imbued with the power of the Judge of the Endless Struggle into his inventory.

Anyway Zeke succeeded in blocking the gate and summoned the power of chlorine to sweep away all traces in the surrounding area. Then he rode Bucephalus and ascended into the air to check on the situation of the monsters that had advanced into the city.

Zeke asked Arataso who had returned to the green sword.

“I caught the Viper a high-level demon but why do the monsters keep advancing?”

Then Aratasso answered in an embarrassed voice.

[It seems like there’s someone else controlling that army of monsters.]

Arataso added that there was no way that the foul-tempered Viper would have obediently led the monsters according to human words.

Zeke frowned at those words.

“Then that means there might be other high-level demons over there too.”

[Considering the current situation that seems highly likely.]

‘I should have looked more thoroughly earlier. I was too focused on the gate.’

Zeke hardened his expression and without delay he quickly grabbed Bucephalus’ reins and dashed through the air towards the army of monsters.
