A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 419



Episode 419

Zeke turned his head and looked at the stone statue that Arataso was pointing at.

At first glance Siemens Apollyon wearing full-body armor and holding a sword looked like Sieg wearing Hersion.

At that moment something crossed Zeke’s mind.

‘The fisherman knight Reyes said that Siemens Apollyon loved Hersion of the goddess Theia.’

The hero-king Caesar gave the Hersion of the goddess Theia as a gift to his adopted son Siemens Apollyon and Siemens said that this armor was the most treasured of all the treasures he had given him.

So it is highly likely that the armor worn by the statue of Siemens Apollyon is also that of the goddess Theia’s Hersion.

‘The appearance is different but the overall composition seems similar.’

There was a reason why Reyes the fisherman’s knight immediately recognized Zeke as Hersion the goddess of Theia.

According to Shatton the Draker family is ultimately the descendants of Siemens Apollyon so it’s not impossible that Sieg a distant descendant could be similar to him.

But there was no need to tell Arataso this so Zeke nodded once and turned around to approach the altar.

I climbed the stairs and went up to the altar. There was a huge box on the platform.

‘It’s faint but I can feel the dragon’s energy inside me.’

Zeke slowly examined the box on the stage.

Knock knock!

Zeke tapped the surface of the box and it felt different from regular metal.

‘It feels similar to that door from before.’

Moreover unlike regular boxes there were no visible seams that could open it.

Strictly speaking it was difficult to call it a box.

‘It seems like the god of the earth is sealed here.’

Zeke looked through the box but he couldn’t even see a hole for the key.

“I can’t do it.”

He decided to use the same method as before.

The moment Zeke took out his hammer and was about to strike the box Arataso shouted.

[Wait a minute!]

Arataso who had climbed up onto the altar stopped Zig.

“What is it Arataso?”

[Wow you’re such an ignorant person. Do you try to destroy everything you see by striking it down? Aren’t you actually a demon and not a human?]

Even the warlike demons of the Demon World wouldn’t cover it up and destroy something like this.

Arataso stopped Zigg who was about to swing his hammer and examined the box closely.

After a while he looked at Zeke and said.

[This is different from the door before. It has a powerful spell on it.]

“It’s magic. Then I guess I can just burn out all the circuits with the magic power reversal technique.”

When he tried to open the countercurrent Arataso waved his hand in fright.

[Calm down! The security magic of the Demon Realm isn’t that simple! If you do it wrong the contents sealed inside could be damaged.]

Arataso who did not know what was inside the box seemed to think of its contents as some kind of precious artifact.

Even if the contents were different from what Arataso had thought it was still important that they not be damaged so Zeke put down the hammer and spoke to Arataso.

“Then Arata can you break this seal?”

Arataso shook his head at those words.

[You must have forgotten but I am an honorable knight with a title from the Demon World. Of course I can’t do something like that.]

After hearing Aratasso’s words Zeke raised his hammer again.

Then Arataso waved his hand and shouted.

[I can’t do it but there’s someone who can!]

Zeke tilted his head at Aratasso’s words.

“Who can break the seal of the demon world?”

Arataso shook his head as if in disbelief.

[You didn’t forget the Neville Ross you caught earlier did you?]

“ah.”

It was only then that Zeke remembered that he had sealed Nevilleth a high-ranking demon and Abaddon’s inspector inside the Damascus Sword.

He took out the Damascus sword from his inventory after a long time.

Wooooow!

I didn’t realize it because I had it in my inventory but the Damascus sword was making a buzzing noise.

It seemed that the sealed Neville was still sending signals.

Zeke stabbed the Damascus sword which Nevilleos had sealed into the floor.

Then he breathed life into it and summoned Nevilleros.

Woohoo!

The summoning circle floated to the ground and black chains rose upward.

Clang!

Neviloth a high-level demon with black chains appeared jumping out of the magic circle.

Blue irises bloomed in the empty eyes of the skeleton visible beneath the old hood.

Neville’s limbs were bound with black chains.

Zeke said as he looked at the summoned Nevilleros.

“It’s been a while Neville Ross.”

Then Neville looked at Zeke and spoke in a sinister voice.

[Zeg Draker… I’ve heard rumors that he tortured countless demons and even destroyed their souls but I didn’t know he was this vicious.]

When I was first locked in the sword I thought that after some time they would take me out and interrogate me.

But Zeke Draker the Inspector of Abaddon and a high-ranking demon did nothing as if he did not care at all about me.

Having been sealed in the sword for so long Neville felt that he was being subjected to intense psychological torture.

He was confident that he could overcome psychological torture with his strong will.

But Zeke Draker just left him alone as if he had forgotten his existence and laughed at him.

In the midst of this long drawn-out mental battle Neville finally ran out of patience and started screaming to be taken out of there.

But the vicious Zeke Draker ignored even his cries and continued to stand by and watch putting psychological pressure on him.

Nevilleos glared at Zeke and ground his teeth.

[To shake the steely mind and frozen heart of me Nevilleoth Inspector of Abaddon with just psychological pressure… You are worse than rumors Sieg Draker.]

It was just that he had sealed it and forgotten about it but it was Zeke who had defeated Neville Ross.

‘I think I made a big mistake but I guess it doesn’t matter.’

Zeke who had decided to just ignore it approached Neville Ross and said.

“Good I guess you’ve learned a little about me. As expected from Abaddon’s Inspector I’ve held my ground but that’s not enough. I have a hundred ways to break your hearts.”

Neville Ross’s gaze shook violently and fear filled him.

‘As expected… my prediction was right. Zeke Draker is truly a fearsome man.’

Zeke added looking at his wavering eyes.

“Actually this isn’t even considered torture. We have real experts on our side.”

[Are you saying there is a torture expert better than you?]

“Yes her name is Arina Luverne. Anyone who enters the room she is in and comes out sheds tears of repentance and reflects on their entire life.”

Neville was shocked by Zeke’s words.

‘There’s such a torturer… I’ve never heard of it even in the Demon World.’

Zeke took a step closer to the frightened Neville Ross and continued speaking.

“Nevillos I have a proposition for you. If you cooperate with me I will provide you with a comfortable sealed space like Aratasso. However if you refuse my offer… you will meet Arina Luverne and shed tears of repentance.”

Neville trembled after hearing Zeke’s words.

Neville whose heart was already broken gave in to Zeke’s words.

[…What do you want me to cooperate with?]

He pointed to a box on the stage.

“Open that and take a look.”

Nevilleos approached the box his body floating in the air.

Then he looked closely at the box and was startled.

[This is…?]

Zeke asked looking at the surprised Neville Ross.

“You’re not saying you can’t solve it are you?”

At those words Neville’s teeth clicked and he spoke to Zeke.

[What do you know about me Neviloth who dares to be called the Abyss Wizard in the Demon World!]

He said pointing to the box.

[It is possible to solve this. But….]

Neville hesitated for a moment then turned his head towards Zeke and continued speaking.

[The problem is that the seal that sealed this box is anything but ordinary.]

“What do you mean it’s not ordinary?”

Neville thought for a while and then answered slowly.

[It seems like the seal sealing this box is the Demon King’s seal.]

Zeke frowned when he heard that and asked.

“Does that mean the one who sealed this box was the Demon King?”

Then Neville said after thinking about it.

[Hmm there are some subtle parts to it. It seems like it’s the Demon King’s seal but in some parts it doesn’t seem like it.]

Zeke frowned at Neville’s ambiguous words.

“So you can’t open this box? I guess a comfortable sealed space doesn’t suit you. Look forward to meeting Arina Luverne.”

Neville Ross waved his hands in confusion at Zeke’s threat.

[Now wait a minute! I said the seal was unusual I didn’t say it couldn’t be undone.]

Zeke said with a look of disbelief at Neville’s answer.

“Then let it go quickly. There’s no time.”

Zeke pushed forward in a needless hurry to prevent this stubborn demon from having other thoughts.

Neville’s plan worked as he raised his bony hand toward the box.

In terms of appearance alone Neville a demon looked more like a lich than Richmond or Bane who were arch liches.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk―

A blue flower spurted out from Neville’s hand and seeped into the box.

After a while the blue naturalization rose again on the surface of the box and began to move around unraveling the intricately intertwined magical circuits.

Zeke asked Neville Ross.

“How long does it take?”

[It’s locked in the old way and the formula is complicated so it’ll probably take about 30 minutes. It’s easy for me but it would have taken several times longer for another wizard.]

During this time Neville Ross showed off his outstanding magical skills.

While Nevilleos unsealed the box Zeke looked around the altar and thought about Siemens Apollyon.

‘The Demon King’s Seal.’

It is the Demon King’s seal but it is not the Demon King’s seal.

Siemens Apollyon attempted to bring down the Demon King’s spirit that was sealed in his body after transplanting the dragon’s heart.

If the Earth God had been sealed here when the Demon King’s soul had not yet completely settled into his body such an ambiguous mark could have remained.

‘It seems that the Demon King’s soul cannot descend into the body all at once.’

The source of darkness first took over Solomon’s body and became the first to fall and then descended into the body of Siemens Apollyon a second time and led the first invasion of the Demon King’s army before being sealed by the sacrifice of the great sage.

After that he descended into Bahamut’s body during the War of Liberation but was defeated by Terracan Draker and sealed in the Book of the Dead.

And now the Demon King was trying to resurrect again under the name of the King in Yellow.

‘Why did this happen when I was there…’

In his previous life he was dragged along by the flow of a great war so after returning Logik wanted to live a free life.

That was all but fate led him to the path of savior.

Zeke still felt that the name Savior did not suit him.

‘Ha. After I destroy the soul of the Savior Nabal and the Demon King nothing will bother me anymore.’

Zeke didn’t like to think complicatedly.

Because if you think about it for too long you often end up shaking hands.

‘I will push forward as I feel and as I think is right.’

The greatest weapon that Zeke possessed was his unwavering strong will.

As I was gathering my thoughts a huge light burst out from behind me.

Crunch!

When I looked back I saw that the seamless box had spread out in all directions and was lying disassembled on the platform.

Neville who had unsealed the box tilted his head at what was inside.

[What is this?]

As Zeke snapped his fingers the chain pulled Nevilleros back.

Clang!

[Ugh!]

Neville was dragged back towards the sword.

“Thank you for your hard work Neville. I will strengthen the sword when I have time and make it more comfortable for you. For now stay inside.”

[Hey! Evil human! Kkaaaak!]

He was sealed back into the sword leaving behind a scream.

Zeke checked the contents of the box Neville had opened.

What was inside was none other than a totem made of clay.

‘Is this the seal of the god of the earth?’

It looked like a crudely shaped totem with an uneven proportion between its head waist and legs but I could faintly feel the power of a dragon within it.

That was when.

Woohoo!

The spirit of the earth god that had been dwelling in Zig’s body reacted with the totem. A sentence appeared on Zig’s forehead.

Woohoo!

A white halo appeared within the sentence and circled around the totem.

Then after the divination a halo of light seeped into the totem.

A message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[The spirit of the Earth God combines with the seal.]
