A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 410



Episode 410

Choaaaak!

Shatton Draker’s sword swung down at Zeke with great force.

Jjeong!

Even though Bahamut blocked it the impact was so powerful that the ground beneath him sank.

Shaton turned around in the air and swung his sword repeatedly again.

Whirlirik!

Zeke stepped back and calmly blocked Shaton’s sword.

Boom!

The swords clashed creating waves and explosions.

Shatton exclaimed with a satisfied expression.

“Good hit! Excellent!”

But his sword still did not stop.

Woohoo!

Shaton’s sword howled for a long time.

At the same time an aura rippled from Shaton’s sword.

Zeke felt the power of the auror in Shaton’s sword and held Bahamut tightly.

‘What is that power?’

It clearly looked like an Aura Blade but it was different from a normal Aura Blade.

At that moment when his nerves were tense and he was on guard Shatton swung his sword at Zeke.

Quaching!

Zeke’s body which had blocked Shaton’s sword was lifted up and pushed back.

He quickly caught his breath concentrated his mind and unfurled his Astral Sword.

Wooooow!

As the realm of the Astral Sword unfolded space came under Zeke’s will.

Zeke immediately swung his Astral Sword at Shaton.

Kiiiiiing―

His sword tore through the space where Shaton was.

Then the aura in the sword instantly spread throughout Shaton’s body and a soft glow spread out like a protective shield.

Pachijijijik―

Zeke’s Astral Sword passed right past Shaton’s defense barrier.

Shaton took a deep breath again and aimed his sword at Zeke.

Zeke looked in disbelief as he watched Shaton deflect the Astral Sword without a hitch.

‘How on earth….’

Shaton looked at his bewildered face then quickly lowered his sword and approached where Zeke was.

“You’ve grown a lot since I last saw you Zeke Draker.”

Zeke also put away his sword and bowed his head to Shaton.

“When I saw you at the Upside Down Tower before I thought you were a recorded spirit and not a real entity but wasn’t I?”

Shatton shook his head at the urgent question asked right after the greeting.

“No the me that I saw on that tower was definitely the spirit that was recorded. And the me that is now here has materialized as a spirit.”

“Could it be that the records of the spirit body were transferred to the spirit?”

Shatton nodded at Zig’s words.

“I didn’t know it when I recorded the spirit form but I learned a lot when I went to the ‘other side’ in the form of a spirit. To put it simply I absorbed the karma data recorded in the spirit form as a spirit and transferred my memories with you Zeke Draker.”

Having become somewhat accustomed to the principles of the Kabbalah system Zik was able to understand Shatton Drake’s words.

“Then is Your Majesty the Sword in the same place as the King of Heroes?”

At those words Shatton laughed bitterly.

“Since Lord Kaisir resides in the fairy realm it can be said that it is a different dimension from where I am. It is not that he cannot move if he wants to but… it requires going through a complicated process in many ways and it seems that he is holding back because we do not know what kind of effect it will have on the phenomenal world.”

“Are you saying that there is a higher dimension for transcendent beings other than the fairy realm?”

“To put it simply yes. We call this place the Peach Blossom Land. It is a place that exists between the heavenly world where the constellations reside and the phenomenal world.”

“Peach Blossom….”

Hoshgar who was a colleague of Terracan Draker was also not entirely unfamiliar as he had moved beyond the phenomenal world to a higher dimension.

‘It was said that the strong ones who are transcendental can disrupt the phenomenal world so they are forced to move in the form of spirits through karma. Is that the place called Taoism?’

Shatton said looking at the thoughtful Zig.

“It is difficult to define the Taoist temple with human senses.”

He changed the subject and brought up another story.

“Anyway I’m glad you came here Zeke. I was wondering who would inherit the Drake legacy of course.”

“Was the person who created the Absolute Sword Master Draker a swordsman?”

Shatton nodded.

“Even after I created the True Dragon Sword and taught the method of cultivation to humans I continued to wander around the continent pondering over things.”

“What are you worried about?”

“About the complete annihilation of the Demon King.”

Zeke listened to Shatton’s words and made a face that seemed like he didn’t quite understand.

“I heard that the Demon King was sealed in the Book of the Dead by the power of the great sage at the time. Even in that state were you still looking for a way to destroy the Demon King?”

Shatton nodded.

“After the Demon King was sealed I wandered the continent and dealt with the remnants of the Demon King’s army. However even then there were already followers plotting for the Demon King’s resurrection.”

Zeke knew that they had been a horde of the Abyss for thousands of years.

Shatton continued with a dark expression.

“I thought they would somehow find a way to revive the Demon King. That’s why I had to find a way to completely destroy the sealed Demon King.”

Zeke looked as if he had realized something after hearing Shatton’s words.

“Only an immortal can completely destroy the Demon King… Are you trying to find the power of immortality?”

Shatton nodded.

“So ironically the immortal is the Demon King’s most ideal body and is also the only being that can destroy him. Finding the immortal is not only creating an opportunity to destroy the Demon King but also preparing a vessel to resurrect the Demon King.”

Hearing that Zeke also frowned.

Shatton continued speaking slowly.

“I eventually decided to take that risk and find the power of immortality. And I eventually found the clue to the power of immortality.”

“What is that?”

Although Zeke himself possessed the power of an immortal he didn’t really know much about it because it was only by chance that he became an immortal.

Shatton opened his mouth slowly.

“What caught my attention was the commonality that could be found between the two immortals who appeared in the world.”

“Are you talking about the Godkiller and Siemens Apollyon?”

“Yes and surprisingly we were able to find out that Siemens Apollyon was of the bloodline of the Godslayer.”

Zeke was surprised to hear Shatton’s words.

“Are you saying that the bloodline of the God Slayer is connected to Siemens Apollyon?”

“I don’t know if Kaiser who first adopted Siemens knew this or not but from what I’ve researched it seems that Siemens’ bloodline is descended from the Godslayer.”

Zeke never thought that two immortals could be of the same bloodline.

Zig who was gathering his thoughts in surprise asked Shatton.

“Then Master Shaton do you know the identity of the God Slayer?”

Shatton nodded at those words.

“Yes after the war the Knights of the Clock Tower were disbanded but some of my friends agreed with my cause and helped me. In particular with the help of the Knight of Wise Jerome I was able to eventually find out the truth.”

Zig took a step closer to Shatton and asked.

“What exactly is the identity of the God Slayer? The one who first fell and became the Demon King.”

Shatton hesitated for a moment and then slowly opened his mouth.

“The identity of the God Slayer is… Solomon the king of Carcosa.”

“yes?”

Zig’s head went blank after hearing Shatton’s words.

“Are you saying that King Solomon was a murderer and the first to fall and become the devil?”

Shatton nodded.

“Yes. According to Jerome’s research Solomon lost Carcosa which he ruled to the constellations and entered the path of a godslayer. He killed the constellations with his immortal power and absorbed their power gradually becoming stronger. Then he was swayed by that power and became corrupted and eventually became the Demon King.”

“oh my god….”

Zeke who had been continuously tracking the identity of the assassin never expected that it would be King Solomon.

‘A ring that can seal demons and devils… King Solomon used that ring to seal demons and use that ability to deal with other constellations.’

Although he couldn’t be sure of the exact details he had a feeling that it wasn’t a coincidence that Solomon’s ring had come into his hands.

Then Shatton continued speaking.

“I traced Siemens Apollyon’s lineage back to Solomon the king of Carcosa. And surprisingly I discovered that Siemens Apollyon still had blood left over from his time as a human.”

Zeke was startled when he heard that.

“Wait a minute… Master Shatton. Are you sure what I thought was right?”

Shatton nodded.

“Yes I adopted the bloodline left by Siemens Apollyon as my own and gave it my surname. However I did not have much time left to remain in the mortal world. So I asked my colleagues to train the bloodline of the immortal and raise it as a savior who would destroy the demon lord who would appear again. And that was the beginning of the Absolute Sword Family Draker.”

Zeke’s mind seemed to stop spinning.

‘The Draker family began with King Solomon of Carcosa and his lineage extended beyond Siemens Apollyon… to Terracan Draker and then to me.’

It was no accident that Zeke was able to unlock his powers as an immortal.

This was possible because the power of immortality was embedded in Draker’s blood.

Looking at the shocked Zeke Shatton grabbed his shoulder with a pitiful expression.

“Zeg Draker you must be strong. The power of the immortals has been connected to you for a long time. That means you are the only one who can destroy the Demon King.”

Zig said looking at Shatun.

“What would happen if I became the Demon King’s vessel?”

At those words Shatton fell silent and then slowly opened his mouth.

“The phenomenal world will fall into the hands of the Demon King. Because there is no one in the phenomenal world who can stop the Demon King who possesses complete immortal power.”

Before Siemens Apollyon became a full-fledged Demon King he was able to be stopped by the combined efforts of numerous heroes and the great sage a homunculus modeled after the King of Heroes.

The Liberation War also ended with the Demon King’s soul trapped in Bahamut’s body being sealed in the Book of the Dead by Terracan Draker thanks to Bahamut’s sacrifice.

The Demon King has never before taken possession of the body of a completely immortal.

If the Demon King were to descend upon the body of Zeke who was immortal and possessed the power of the Elder Dragon it would be nearly impossible to stop him.

Shatton said looking at Zeke.

“I wish to prevent the Demon King from descending upon you by conveying to you my final insight and the Draker legacy.”

“Is it possible to prevent the advent of the Demon King?”

“I hope it helps but I can’t promise anything. Ultimately I guess I have to say it’s up to you.”

No matter how strong Shaton was it was ultimately Zeke who possessed the power of immortality.

Zeke thought about something with a serious face then nodded.

“Nothing has changed from before anyway. I won’t overcomplicate things since it will be resolved once I become stronger and destroy the Demon King.”

Shatton nodded with a satisfied face seeming satisfied with Zeke’s answer.

“Excellent. Then let me first pass on the Draker family legacy to you.”

Tsk tsk tsk―

The energy flowing out of Saturn’s body began to be absorbed by Zeke.

At the same time a message appeared before his eyes.

[A large amount of karma data is transmitted from the Black Sword Shaton Draker.]

[Karma data is stored in a secure vault. Would you like to create a separate folder?]

Instead of just calling it ‘Anything’ like last time Zeke created a folder called ‘Drake’s Legacy’.

[Data regarding a large number of swordsmanship and weapon skills magic books are stored in this folder.]

[Contains a lot of lost ancient knowledge that no longer exists.]

Zig quickly scanned the contents stored in the folder.

‘What the hell is this? Secretaries of ancient kingdoms that have been destroyed including the era of Kronos and even magic books…’

Precious materials of inestimable value were delivered to Zig through Shatton.

After the large amount of data was completely transferred to Zeke’s secure storage the light flowing from Shaton’s body died down.

“Whew. The transmission is finally finished. There are some updates that I made while in the spirit state so I put them together.”

“Are you saying that all of this is the Draker family’s legacy?”

“To be exact it would be more correct to call it a legacy from the old days. It is the restoration of numerous records that were lost during the long war.”

Even if all of the current Drakes Nirvana and Ishtars were combined they would not have this much ancient knowledge and secret books.

The current Ziggy could be said to be a living moving museum and history itself.

As the transfer ended Shatton took up his sword.

“All the inheritance has been transferred so what remains is the final insight I have gained.”

He said looking at Zeke.

“Look carefully Zeke. This is the secret weapon I acquired in my later years. It is the Heart Sword.”
