A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 420



Episode 420

Wooooow!

The totem was completely engulfed in a halo of light and rose into the air.

And a strong light emanated from the totem.

Zeke turned his head towards the intense light.

‘Has the seal been broken?’

As the light died down a bit I turned my head again to look at the halo of light and saw that the totems that looked like small clay dolls were multiplying.

Kugugugugugu―

The mound of dirt was growing in size like an upside-down tower.

Aratasso who was watching from behind stepped back in bewilderment at the growing presence of the Earth God.

[What the heck is that….]

Arataso who had been groping and repeatedly retreating was surprised by the power of the divine dragon and eventually returned to the green sword on his own.

Zeke took the Damascus sword and the green sword and put them in his inventory then looked at the pile of dirt gradually taking shape.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!

Before we knew it the huge mound of dirt had almost taken shape.

Zeke realized what it was.

‘It’s the same statue I saw in the Forest of the Forgotten.’

A figure with the body of a deer and the hooves of a cow.

The statue was re-formed several times larger than the one seen in the forest.

Kookookookookook!

As the mound of dirt formed its body the dragon’s face was finally formed with horns and eyes appearing.

Light began to shine in the eyes made of clay and clouds filled with auspicious energy began to float around the dragon’s body.

That’s when the message came to me.

[The sealed earth god’s divine power is released.]

[Gaia the goddess of the earth regains her divinity.]

[With the liberation of Gaia the goddess of the earth the land of the continent is stabilized.]

[The earth regains its strength and the spirits and fantasy creatures return to their homes.]

Zeke was surprised to see the message.

‘The spirits and fantasy species that had disappeared had lost their treasure trove because the god of the earth had been sealed.’

The continent lost many things while the sea god the forest god and even the earth god were forgotten and sealed away.

What was even more surprising was that many races including humans in the phenomenal world were completely unaware of these facts.

‘The abyss that has been manipulating the history of the continent and inciting conflict for a long time. They have tried to prevent the phenomenal world from regaining its power so that we cannot remember the gods.’

Only after the gods whose divine powers had been sealed returned could the phenomenal world realize what it had lost.

Then the god of the earth descended from the sky and slowly approached where Zig was.

He looked at Zeke with kind and graceful eyes.

[Gaia the goddess of the earth looks upon the immortals.]

[Gaia the goddess of the earth expresses her deep gratitude to the Immortal.]

The dragon’s figure bowed its head toward Zig.

When the dragon bowed its head to him Zeke was embarrassed and bowed his head back to greet him.

‘I thought the Earth God would be very strict because of Ishtar’s strict laws but he actually feels more relaxed than the other dragons.’

[Gaia the Earth God is attempting to access the Kabbalah system of the Immortals. Do you wish to authorize this access?]

Zeke was startled by the message that suddenly appeared.

I was taken aback because I had never seen this kind of approach from any of the other dragons but I soon approved the connection.

[Access from Gaia the Earth Goddess has been approved.]

[Some of the memory data of Gaia the goddess of the Earth will be shared. Would you like to check the data?]

‘Memory data?’

Although he couldn’t tell what it was Zeke felt that Gaia was trying to convey something to him.

He replied that he would check the data.

[Play the memory data of Gaia the goddess of the earth.]

In an instant the scenery before Zeke’s eyes changed to a different one.

‘Huh? This is.’

I’ve experienced this a few times before.

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

Zig who had the heart of a dragon could feel himself becoming one with the god of the earth even though it was only a memory.

He slowly closed his eyes as he felt a deep gentle and comfortable energy spread throughout his body.

‘This is the power of the god of the earth. It is a power that seems capable of embracing everything.’

Zeke could feel the stillness yet the powerful force contained within it.

But then I felt a strange energy breaking the peace.

It was a loud and noisy energy that moved as if it was going to shatter like a discord that had broken into a harmonious world.

When he opened his eyes again a new view unfolded before him.

It felt completely different from what I saw with my human eyes.

Not only could I see all around I could understand everything that existed in that area.

And before him stood a discordant alien presence.

[Gaia now you are the only one left.]

The alien being was wearing pitch-black armor.

Zig who had become one with the god of the earth realized the true nature of the being.

‘Siemens Apollyon.’

Although the appearance of Hersion covering her entire body was different than before it was clear that it was Hersion of the goddess Theia.

At the same time to his surprise Zig could sense a familiar aura from Siemens Apollyon.

‘Abel?’

It was very similar to the energy that flowed out of his body when he fought Abel previously.

Zeke realized that the energy was that of a dragon.

‘Could it be… that the dragon heart transplanted into Abel is the same as the dragon heart that Siemens Apollyon transplanted into himself?’

Siemens Apollyon transcended the human body by stealing the contract heart and inserting it into his own body.

It was the first time that Yongin had been granted permission.

And Abel also awakened as a demon dragon by putting the cursed dragon’s heart into his body through the baptism of the abyss.

‘Those damn bastards. Did they keep the dragon heart that was transplanted into Siemens Apollyon’s body to create the Demon King’s vessel?’

I could feel their terrifying obsession with resurrecting the Demon King.

And then Siemens Apollyon took up his sword.

[Gaia Goddess of the Earth. If you seal your divine power I will be reborn as a true king.]

Zeke recognized the sword Siemens had raised.

‘The secret space of the Draker family that I went to with my family before. It’s the sword that was stuck there and wasn’t pulled out.’

Arthur Draker claimed that the sword was that of his ancestor Shatton Draker but the truth was different.

‘That was the black Siemens Apollyon sword.’

Whoosh whoosh!

Black flames shot out from the sword Siemens Apollyon held.

Zig who was inside Gaia’s body felt an ominous aura from the black fire rising from the window.

‘What is that? It doesn’t seem to be the power of a dragon. Is it some kind of authority?’

Siemens Apollyon blasted an ominous black flame towards Gaia.

Kwakwakwakwa!

Black flames swirled around and the entire area turned black.

Gaia tried to quell the black flames by raising a cloud that enveloped her body.

But that wasn’t enough to stop the black flames of Siemens Apollyon.

Gaia twisted her body to avoid the black flames but Siemens Apollyon’s flames clung tenaciously.

The black flames attached to its body sunk their teeth into Gaia’s form like a ferocious beast biting into her body.

Zig who was inside Gaia’s body felt pain as if his soul was being ripped out.

‘Ugh!’

Helpless and unable to do anything Zeke had no choice but to clench his teeth and endure the pain.

Gaia tried to avoid the flames somehow but it was no use.

Gaia’s form gradually hardened due to the black flames.

And at some point the Siemens Apollyon rose into the air.

He said this while looking at Gaia whose body had frozen.

[Gaia you are definitely different from the other dragons. But that doesn’t matter. My power cannot be opposed even by the god of the earth.]

A black box appeared in front of Siemens Apollyon as he finished speaking.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk―

And Gaia’s hardened form began to be sucked into the black box.

Kwakwakwakwa!

The broken pieces of dirt clumped together inside the box and soon took the shape of a totem made of dirt.

As Siemens Apollyon reached out to the box a lid appeared on its own and Gaia’s divine power was sealed inside.

Siemens Apollyon turned his head and looked at the halo of light floating before him.

[Although I cannot destroy your soul now once I obtain the power of the king I will annihilate the souls of you and the other dragons and return them to nothingness.]

Woohoo!

Gaia’s soul which had lost its divine power was unable to move under the pressure exerted by Siemens.

And after a while Siemens Apollyon came closer and stretched out his hand towards Gaia’s soul and said:

[Go to sleep Earth God. The best I can do for you is to not cause you any pain.]

With those words Zeke’s vision went dark and he couldn’t see anything.

“uh?”

Before he knew it Zeke had come to his senses again.

The image of Gaia who had regained her divine power was looking at him.

Zeke felt dizzy as he looked into the dragon’s memories.

Then Gaia breathed out a puff of air.

Woohoo!

The clouds that had been wrapping around Gaia’s body gently enveloped Zig.

Zeke smelled a mysterious soft scent from the clouds.

And I felt like the scent cleared my head and relieved my dizziness.

Zeke bowed his head as he looked at Gaia.

“Thank you Gaia. I’m okay now.”

As soon as he finished speaking a cloud of five-colored light gathered and seeped into Zig’s body.

[Gaia the goddess of the earth gives a reward to the immortal.]

[Gaia the goddess of the earth grants the immortal the title ‘Guardian of the Earth’.]

[All fantasy species and spirits consider the immortal friendly and try to help him.]

[Under the influence of the title Guardian of the Earth the active skills ‘Lightning (A-Class+)’ and ‘Lion’s Roar (A-Class)’ combine to transform into ‘Thunderbolt (S-Class)’.]

[You have successfully completed the achievement quest mission.]

[You have obtained the relic of Gaia the goddess of the earth as a quest mission reward.]

[As a quest mission reward you will receive the blessing of the Earth God and your Powerful Luck will change into Powerful Fortune.]

[One special random box will be given as a reward.]

Woohoo!

Gaia slowly bowed her head as she looked at Zeke.

[Gaia the goddess of the earth wishes for the safe and sound journey of the immortal.]

As the message rose Gaia’s body transformed into light and seeped into the earth.

Unlike other dragons Gaia did not remain in the realm of the gods but resided within the earth and seemed to exist everywhere.

Zeke looked at the rewards he received from Gaia.

‘Two A-class skills combined to become an S-class skill. And the power of luck turned into good fortune….’

Zig looked at the information on the power luck.

―Power Information―

Luck: Helps to make it come true when the user has strong will and desire.

Zig tilted his head at the lucky piece of information.

‘I don’t really understand what kind of power it is.’

In the case of the power of luck it was activated at a crucial moment regardless of Zeke’s will so it was not easy to use it with any intention.

In the case of luck it seemed to have become more advanced but its use was still not clearly understood.

Zeke took out the Gaia’s relic he had received as a mission reward.

“That’s the totem that was in the box.”

Zig felt the auspicious energy within the totem.

The holy relic Yeouiju from Poseidon the statue from Hermes and lastly the totem from Gaia.

It was as if he had received holy relics from all three dragons.

‘I know how to use the Yeouiju but where and how should I use the statue and totem?’

Zeke who was worried decided to ask Hades later and put the relics in his inventory first.

And he checked the last message once more.

“A special random box. This contains all five.”

If you have five special random boxes it is possible to upgrade them to non-ranked random boxes.

The random boxes outside of the rank were a great help in strengthening my power because they contained legendary items.

Zig opened the crafting window and put in five special random boxes and other materials.

“Phew.”

When Zeke pressed the craft button a message saying that it was being crafted appeared and a few minutes later the special random boxes had changed into non-ranked random boxes.

“It worked!”

Zig took out an out-of-grade random box from his inventory.

“Okay let’s open it.”

Zeke took a deep breath and slowly opened the box.

That’s when the message came to me.

[The user’s strong will triggers the power of luck.]

[The result value of the random box changes depending on the influence of luck.]

[Provides optimal results for each user.]

With the activation of the Power of Luck dazzling five-colored lights and pink smoke flowed out from within the box.

‘I wonder what kind of legendary artifact will come out.’

Zeke who was becoming anxious tried to check what was inside the box by waving the smoke with his hand.

After a while a sword appeared from the random box.

Zeke’s eyes shook greatly as he checked the sword.

“What is this…?”

The sword that Siemens Apollyon was holding in Gaia’s memories appeared before Sieg’s eyes.
