A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 393



Episode 393

Eeeeeeeeeeeing―

The hourglass floated into the air and a strange sound rang in Zeke’s ears.

After a while the hourglass turned over and the surrounding scenery began to change.

Zeke had seen this sight before.

‘Time goes back to the past.’

The power of reversal was linked to Kronos’ hourglass turning the surroundings back to the past.

The hourglass that had been spinning round and round suddenly stopped.

‘What era are we from?’

Since it was something he had experienced before Zeke looked around without panicking.

The number of stone statues had clearly decreased since I came in earlier.

That was when.

“Wow. I can’t believe it’s exactly as Kronos said.”

Zeke turned his gaze towards the altar and saw a mysterious woman with flowing silver hair approaching him.

Zeke knew at a glance that she was a Plimov dragon.

The silver-haired dragon looked at Zeke and asked.

“Are you Zeke Draker?”

Zeke was startled that the dragon from the past knew his name.

‘Have you heard about me from Kronos?’

Kronos was a time-controlling dragon who could know the future but due to karma’s restrictions he could not speak carelessly about it.

Still the fact that the silver-haired dragon knew Zeke’s name meant that Kronos had a message to convey through him even if it meant risking violating the timeline.

The silver-haired dragon spoke to Zeke.

“My name is Hyperion. I am the Lord of the Silver Clan and the Sentinel of the Dawn.”

Zeke remembered Hades talking about Hyperion and that his lair was on the Northern Continent.

Hyperion continued speaking as he approached Zeke.

“First let me give you what Kronos asked you to do.”

She reached out to Zeke.

Woohoo!

The light that extended from his hand seeped into Zig’s body.

At that moment a message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[You have obtained 3/4 of the Seal of the Kingdom of Kronos.]

[Once all remaining seals are found the reporting coordinates for the Kingdom of Kronos will be activated.]

―Main Quest Mission (Linked)―

[Take the relics containing the power of the primordial to the Forgotten Temple of the Primordial. (No time limit / When you obtain all three relics the coordinates of the temple are automatically activated.)]

[Find the scattered seals of the Kingdom of Kronos and restore them to their original state. (No time limit / 1 seal remaining)]

[Activate the reporting coordinates of the Kingdom of Kronos with the restored Kingdom Seal.]

[Main Quest Mission Reward: ???]

[Linked Quest Mission Reward: Title: Successor of the Kingdom of Kronos]

With Hyperion handing over the seal of the Kingdom of Kronos to Zeke only one seal remained.

‘The problem is that this is on the Roman Empire’s side.’

To be exact it was in the capital city of Rome.

And currently Abel was leading the demons with Siemens and occupying Rom so it was difficult to approach them rashly.

‘I’ll have to think a little more about how to find the last seal.’

Hyperion who had delivered the seal looked at Zeke and said.

“Cronus believed that you were the savior who would destroy the Demon King.”

Zeke nodded after hearing Hyperion’s words.

“Yes. Hermes also said that since I am immortal I am the only one who has the ability to kill a god.”

Hyperion said in surprise at Zeke’s words.

“You’re saying you met Hermes? His divine power is currently sealed. How could… Ah!”

Hyperion looked as if he had figured out the answer himself and Zeke nodded at her and said.

“That’s right. As you might expect I also possess the power of an immortal so I was able to pull out the spear that sealed the divine dragon’s seal.”

She nodded with a face that seemed to finally understand what Zeke said.

“So that’s why Kronos left me that message.”

“What message did Kronos leave behind?”

Hyperion said to Zeke.

“Cronus told me to tell you that I must release the seal of the Earth God.”

It was Zigg who broke the seals of Poseidon the god of the sea and Hermes the god of the forest.

If he had the power of an immortal it would be possible to break the seal of the god of the earth.

“Where is the god of the earth you spoke of sealed?”

Hyperion looked at Zeke and said.

“The god of the earth is sealed in the Forest of the Forgotten.”

The Forest of the Forgotten a forbidden area also had a deep connection with Zigg.

‘The Forest of the Forgotten. It wouldn’t be strange if something were there though.’

It was at that moment that Zeke’s face became serious as he tried to put it off as long as possible but he intuitively felt that it was impossible.

Woohoo!

The hourglass floating in the air began to vibrate.

It meant that time to dwell on the past was almost over.

Hyperion approached Zeke and took his hand.

“There is no time. Synchronize with me and Mana.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“Don’t you know something as basic as mana synchronicity? This… There’s no time to explain. I’ll guide you so relax and don’t resist the flow.”

Hyperion put strength into the hand he held.

Woohoo!

Mana began to flow into Zig’s body through his hand accompanied by a vibrating sound.

‘Hmm….’

The foreign feeling of mana entering his body was uncomfortable at first but Zeke endured it and tried to relax and accept the power naturally as Hyperion had said.

Then at some point a sentence began to appear in Zeke’s heart.

Woohoo!

As more of Hyperion’s mana poured in the emblem on his chest became darker and glowed more intensely.

A message appeared before Zeke’s eyes wondering how much mana he had accepted.

[Pure mana rises into the dragon’s heart.]

[Pure mana neutralizes the curse in the heart of the cursed dragon Bahamut.]

[The heart of the cursed dragon Bahamut is restored to the heart of Bahamut the ruler of the sunset.]

‘Has the curse on Bahamut’s heart been lifted?’

I felt that the colors of the sentences that came to mind were clearer and brighter than before.

The message continued to come to mind.

[Acquire the title ‘Ruler of Sunset’.]

[Under the influence of the title ‘Ruler of Sunset’ the power of Bahamut’s power increases by 1.5 times after sunset.]

[The seal rate of the Heart of Bahamut the Ruler of Sunset has been lowered to 35%.]

[Removes the two-step restriction placed on the user.]

[Due to the effect of the restriction being lifted the Karma amount required to open Dragon Clan skills is reduced by 30%.]

[The amount of Spirit Power required to increase the level of Dragon Clan skills is reduced due to the effect of the restriction being lifted.]

‘The sealing level of the heart has been lowered and the 2nd stage restriction has been lifted.’

There he was able to obtain the title ‘Lord of Sunset’ which Bahamut previously held.

The title had the effect of making Bahamut’s powers of Dragon Rule and Shadow Rule stronger at night.

‘It wasn’t called the Shadow Dragon for nothing.’

Tsk tsk tsk―

Only when all the pure mana flowed into Zeke’s body did Hyperion let go of Zeke’s hand.

As she opened her closed eyes mysterious silver pupils were revealed.

“With this the curse on Bahamut’s heart has been lifted.”

“Yes thanks to you I have regained my title as Ruler of the Sunset.”

Hyperion’s expression darkened at Zeke’s words.

“Yes… In the end Bahamut ended up like that according to his fate.”

Through Hyperion’s words he realized that the current time zone was before the war of liberation broke out.

Zeke asked Hyperion before time completely ran out.

“Lord Hyperion I actually came here to find Caligula’s tomb. Do you know anything about it?”

When Zeke brought up Caligula’s name Hyperion looked surprised but then nodded.

“I know. I am none other than the caretaker of that tomb.”

Hyperion continued.

“Caligula’s power was so dangerous that the Elder Dragon himself sealed it away. I have continued to guard the tomb at the Elder Dragon’s request.”

“Hyperion was the caretaker of Caligula’s tomb.”

Zeke realized why the compass was pointing here.

“Find Caligula’s tomb…”

Hyperion thought for a moment then looked at Zeke and said.

“An immortal blessed by the Elder Dragon. Perhaps it would be a better choice to leave Caligula’s power to you.”

As she held out her hand light gathered and a key appeared.

Hyperion said handing over the key.

“This is the key to the sealed tomb. This key will lead you to the tomb.”

Zeke nodded accepting it.

‘There was a separate key. If I hadn’t met Hyperion here it wouldn’t have been easy to get in even if I had tried to find the tomb.’

Zeke put the key in his inventory and spoke to Hyperion.

“Hyperion I have another question.”

He continued speaking quickly.

“The identity of the Demon King… Is it true that he is the first God Slayer who became corrupted and became the king of all the fallen constellations?”

Hyperion nodded at Zeke’s words.

“Yes the one who killed the most gods. And in the end he fell himself and became the king of the fallen constellations.”

“I heard that from Tushin Tir too. But if that’s true then doesn’t that mean that the God Slayer has become the Demon King?”

Hyperion shook his head at those words.

“Strictly speaking it should be seen that the Demon King was born from the combination of the God Slayer and something possessed by his immortal body.”

“What is it that resides in the body of the God Slayer…?”

“No one knows exactly what it is. The Elder Dragon suspects that it is something on the other side of the Primordial Light the Creator God.”

“The opposite of the Creator?”

“Yes the primordial light created this world. But naturally because of that its opposite was also created. That’s why it can be said to be a fragment of the Creator. As a fragment it is on the opposite side of the light and seeks to destroy what the Creator created. That’s why that being constantly tempts the Creator’s creations and tries to drag them down and cause them to fall.”

“Temptation and corruption. That must be the source of its existence.”

Hyperion nodded.

“The first immortal and god-slayer was eventually eaten by it and became ‘the first to fall.’”

“And so the first immortal became the vessel of the Demon King.”

“The power of immortality itself destroys the balance of the world. The Fairy King was wary of immortals appearing in the material world.”

The Immortal was a being that had the power to destroy the Demon King but was also a being that could make him more perfect.

This was also the reason why the Fairy King and other fairies rejected and were wary of the power of immortality.

‘The fragment of the Creator God combined with the power of immortality is the true identity of the Demon King. So in the end it means that only by destroying the fragment of the Creator God can the Demon King be truly destroyed.’

The Holy Spear was the only divine substance that could destroy the fragments.

It was at that moment that Zeke was about to ask Hyperion something more.

Tsk tsk tsk―

Hyperion’s body was seen gradually fading away.

As time passed the spirit that made up her began to disappear.

She looked down at her own transparent body and nodded as if she had expected this outcome.

“I can finally rest in peace for the long awaited rest.”

Zeke looked at her with a surprised face at her unexpected words and asked her.

“Have you been waiting for me all this time?”

“It was a promise with Kronos. I would pass on the key to saving the future to the savior who would appear one day.”

She said looking at Zeke.

“Zeke Draker I am truly sorry to have entrusted the fate of this world to you.”

Wooooow!

The hourglass began to vibrate again.

Now it was time to return to the original time zone.

Zeke spoke quickly to Hyperion one last time.

“Hades has missed you Hyperion. I will tell you about our meeting today.”

She looked momentarily surprised when the name Hades was mentioned.

Then after thinking for a moment he reached out produced a book and handed it to Zeke.

“Tell Hades about it. It contains information that the boy will enjoy. It was a great pleasure for me to teach him as well.”

Soon Hyperion’s body dissipated into a silver halo completely dissipating and the hourglass spun again.

Woohoo!

Once again the surrounding environment changed rapidly.

The stone statues that had disappeared began to appear one by one.

And when the statue was filled to its original number the changing surroundings became fixed and the hourglass disappeared.

When Zeke returned to his original time zone he felt as dizzy as before.

“Hoo!”

He staggered and stood against the wall near the altar.

Still I was able to quickly come to my senses as I had adapted to the current situation much faster than before.

‘But I can’t help but feel like I still can’t adapt.’

Zeke slowly emerged from the underground memorial space and ascended the castle.

It was already daylight as quite some time had passed.

But for some reason the castle was in an uproar.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

At that moment the warning bell rang loudly in the castle.

Zeke quickly ran and looked outside.

‘this….’

A huge army of monsters and hordes of demons were rushing towards Himonas Castle.
