A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 433



Episode 433

‘The power of the evil demon?’

Messages appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[Absorbed an external species imbued with the power of an evil spirit.]

[The consumed stamina and mental power mana replenishes.]

[By absorbing the abilities of the absorbed external species you gain some of the abilities of the power ‘Flesh’.]

[The power of the flesh is still unstable and does not activate properly. If you absorb more of the source of the evil spirit the power will be fully activated.]

[The ability of the absorbed external species is absorbed increasing the proficiency of the skill ‘Shadow Clone’.]

[The ability of the absorbed external species is absorbed increasing the proficiency of the skill ‘Acting’.]

[By absorbing the designated killing entity the absorption skill level increases as a reward.]

[4000 Karma Points will be awarded as compensation.]

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

Zeke read the floating letters and was surprised to see that he had gained some of the power of the flesh.

‘Are you calling Ajitahaka the Emperor of Meat a monster?’

Caligula the king of Shambhala and ruler of the White-faced Tribe the Dreaming Tribe and the Beast Tribe also held the title of king.

So it can be inferred that Ajitahaka who had the title of the evil spirit was of higher rank than Caligula.

‘According to Lopocale’s memories Azitahaka is not an ancient race but a human. How evil must he have been to earn the title of evil spirit….’

Given the circumstances it was clear that Ramon Siemens the head of the Siemens family was controlling the power of the evil spirit Ajitahaka.

Zig who had been thinking quietly took something out of his inventory.

It was the helmet of Azmun Barrios who had been brought into the stomach of the Meat Demon.

Azmoon’s body and armor were both melted away as if it were an artifact with powerful magic but this helmet remained inside his stomach.

‘If you bet the wisdom of the dragon on the helmet you may be able to access Azmun’s data and obtain information on Ramon and Azitahaka.’

Since Azmun received the sword of Ajitahaka directly from Ramon Siemens there may be information about him.

Zeke put his hand on his helmet and activated his dragon’s wisdom.

Wooooow!

As expected Zeke was able to access the relevant karma data through the helmet.

Zeke who was sorting through the karma data through the eyes of the wise man discovered something.

‘What is this?’

Just like when I saw Duke’s memories there was sealed data.

Zig used his skill to retrieve the sealed data.

[A powerful seal rejects the user’s attempts at harm.]

Even with Zeke’s Haeju skill the data seal was not broken.

‘Is it because the skill proficiency is still at the expert level?’

If the data was hidden behind such a strong seal it was certain that it was important information related to Ramon Siemens.

Zig asked the system.

‘Is it possible to increase the proficiency of skills with System Karma Points?’

The system answered his question.

[You need 15000 points to increase the proficiency of that skill.]

The current points I have are 19478 points.

Since the required points were not small Zig thought about it for a while and eventually decided to use the points to increase his proficiency.

[15000 points are used to increase skill proficiency.]

[The proficiency of the Haeju skill increases.]

The proficiency of Haeju skill has increased to expert level.

Zeke immediately tried to release the sealed data with his skill.

Wooooow!

The message came back again.

[The skill releases the sealed data.]

The unsealed data began to form a single shape.

A gigantic entity whose size was difficult to estimate appeared.

The giant being wore a mask shaped like a demon and on both shoulders were many hideous tentacles that were twisted and intertwined giving it the appearance of a giant snake.

Zeke felt a sense of awe as he gazed upon a being that transcended the realm of humanity.

‘Just looking at it makes me feel like my soul is going to disappear.’

A sense of oppression that was incomparable to the one he felt when he stood before Blood King Caligula weighed on Zeke’s mind.

The being looked at Zeke and opened its mouth.

[■■■ ◆◇□■■ ■■■■ ◆]

The being spoke something to Sieg in a completely unintelligible language much like the figure that remained within William Siemens’s gold.

‘Ugh….’

Just hearing the ‘true words’ of the giant being directly made Zeke feel like he was going to vomit blood.

It was clear that it would have been impossible to maintain my sanity if I hadn’t had the passive skill ‘Unbreakable Will’.

Then the ominous being slowly reached out its hand towards Zeke.

Just by the being’s reaching out Zeke felt as if his body was being split into countless small pieces.

That was when.

Woof woof!

At that moment Raven’s phoenix call was heard.

Wheeeeeek!

Along with the Phoenix someone quickly grabbed his body and pulled it away making the space itself feel longer and further away.

Kwakwakwakwa!

Zeke’s consciousness quickly escaped from the mental world and returned to the real world.

Cheeeeeeek―

White smoke rose from Zeke’s body as he returned to reality.

“Phew…..”

Zeke dropped the helmet he was holding onto the floor without realizing it.

The helmet he was holding had become completely blackened and was no longer able to maintain its original shape.

When Zeke regained consciousness he recalled the identity of the transcendent being that existed within the sealed Karma data.

‘The evil spirit Ajitahaka… Did you look into his soul that was trapped in the isolation world?’

Zeke felt himself breaking out in a cold sweat as he faced the legendary being who had reached a realm of transcendence so vast that it was difficult for him to handle.

Ajitahaka the only human to have earned the title of a monster while in a human body.

As he was thinking deeply about it a voice suddenly rang in Zeke’s head.

[…What the heck was that just now. For a moment I thought I was facing the devil.]

Arataso who had been sleeping inside the green sword woke up in surprise after feeling the power of the evil spirit.

Through Aratasso’s words Zeke realized that Ajitahaka was a being comparable to the six strongest demons among the fallen constellations.

‘If the power of the Demon King is this much then just how much is the Demon King?’

After facing Ajitahaka Zigg was finally able to gauge the true extent of the constellations’ power.

He recalled Ajitahaka’s true form and realized that his strength was still lacking. However it was not enough to discourage him.

‘Elemental Sword Honshinki and Mind Sword. If I can properly handle these powers dormant within my body I can deal with any evil spirit or demon.’

After pulling himself together Zeke returned to reality and decided to move on to the next plan.

‘Richmond report the situation now.’

I sent a message to Richmond who was with his spies to proceed with the next task but there was no reply.

‘Did something happen?’

Thinking that he should go and see for himself Zeke left the Rom Palace to the Black Spirits and went outside to summon Bucephalus.

Heeeeeeling!

Zigg riding on Bucephalus’s back quickly flew over Rom and headed towards the royal tomb where Abel was.

* * *

Whoosh whoosh!

Boris clicked his tongue as he looked at the burning shrine of Rom.

‘I knew he was crazy but I didn’t think it would be this crazy…’

He heard of Abel’s hiding location through Richmond and came to the Imperial Tomb of Rom with his spies.

The royal tomb has been a sacred site since the days of the Roman Empire and is a place where the mortuary tablets of past kings and emperors are enshrined.

Hero King Kaisir raised by the hands of the divine Wolf King.

The emperors of Rome have always claimed that they are descendants of this heroic king who liberated humans and founded a nation for them.

And the royal tomb was a sacred site that demonstrated the legitimacy of the Roman Empire which claimed to be descendants of the Hero King and it was never destroyed for a long time.

But now the holy land was engulfed in black flames and was falling apart.

Kookookookookung!

A man stood among the black flames engulfing the royal tomb.

A being with red long hair fluttering around black scales growing all over its body and a maddening dragon’s eyes flashing.

It was Abel who had awakened as a dragon.

“Zeke! Zeke Drakeeeeeee!”

Boris who had placed his spies in various places in the rubble of the burning royal tomb and was hiding on one side watched Abel howling in madness.

Next to him was Zion his face pale and Zeke’s shadow clone who was on the verge of disappearing after being attacked by Abel.

‘If I send my shadow clone to Abel he will definitely go berserk and destroy the royal tomb.’

As Zeke had expected Abel who had been hiding in the royal tomb went berserk as soon as he saw Zeke’s shadow clone and started destroying the royal tomb like crazy.

Because of this the imperial tomb that symbolized the splendid Roman Empire was on the verge of being reduced to ashes.

Zion spoke to Boris watching the black flames grow bigger and bigger.

“It was good that you provoked the captain but how are we going to get out of here now?”

Boris did not respond to Zion’s words but instead racked his brain to figure out how to escape.

But then something rose from the ground.

Kkwaddudduk!

A huge wall of ice rose up blocking the black flames.

Boris realized that Bane who had been waiting had summoned a wall of ice.

At the same time the shadow clone of Zigg that had been swaying rose up and caught Abel’s attention as it breathed flames.

Boris shouted to Zion.

“Go inside that ice wall and escape!”

Boris and Zion tried to escape the labyrinthine tomb by entering the ice wall.

However the black flames that Abel created quickly melted Bane’s ice wall and penetrated inside.

“Haaaah!”

Zion used his telekinesis to block the black flames pouring down from above.

At that moment Adol and Serina were seen running from the opposite ice wall.

“Captain! This way!”

Serena whose external form had changed into metal gestured towards Boris and Zion.

She sensed the direction of escape by receiving signals from Aeren and Bisco from afar and guided them in that direction.

As we went a little further the ice wall shattered with a huge noise.

Kwakwakwakwang!

Adol hurriedly raised a sand wall to barely block the shattered ice wall.

Abel appeared on top of the collapsed ice wall holding Zeke’s shadow clone in his hand.

He looked down at the spy group his mad eyes flashing.

“Zeke Draker… Hand me back the real Zeke Draker!”

Abel emitted strong magical energy from his body.

Then Boris raised his sword and raised his aura to fight against Abel’s magic.

Other members of the spy agency also tried to counter Abel’s power by activating their own bloodline abilities.

But the power of the Dragon King was too much for them to handle on their own.

Kookookookookook!

As the powerful pressure pressed down from above Boris and his party found it difficult to even breathe.

‘Crazy… How did the boss deal with such a monster?’

Then Abel stretched out his hand and the ominous sword Zahhak appeared.

Boris’s face turned despairing as black flames rose from Zahhak.

‘I didn’t know it would turn out like this.’

I had thought that I might die while performing my mission one day but I never thought that I would turn to ashes and disappear in the tomb of Rom.

Boris took up his sword and spoke to his spies.

“Adol when I run forward get out of here quickly.”

The members realized what Boris was trying to do.

Before they could utter a word Boris ran towards Abel with his sword in hand.

Zion cried out in surprise.

“colon!”

At the same time Adol caused the sand to rise and pull all of the party into the ground.

Abel breathed black flames towards Adol and his party as they tried to escape underground.

Whoosh whoosh!

Black flames flew towards them like a wild beast baring its teeth.

Then Boris leapt forward faster and blocked Abel’s black flames with his body.

“no!”

As he sank into the ground Zion saw this and shouted at Boris who was engulfed in flames.

As black flames enveloped Boris the other spies were sucked into the ground.

Boris whose whole body was melted by the flames smiled faintly as he watched his subordinates disappear.

‘That’s good. I really hate melodrama.’

I felt my body being torn apart by black flames.

Boris could no longer see or hear anything as if his corneas and eardrums had been burned.

But then it happened.

Wooooow!

Suddenly a warm feeling came back to my body.

‘uh?’

When he opened his eyes someone was standing in front of him.

A man wearing the familiar Draker uniform and holding a black sword.

Suddenly Zeke Draker appeared and stood in front of him.
