A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 443



Episode 443

‘The tears of the goddess Theia are adamantium?’

It has not been revealed how the adamantium containing the power of Shinsal is created.

This may have been natural since the existence of such metal was not even properly known in the first place.

It was quite surprising that such adamantium was the tears of the goddess Theia.

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

[The restored Theia Goddess Statue detects the Hersion worn on the user’s body.]

[Check the status of the disabled Hersion.]

[The Goddess Teia statue sends the user an authentication code.]

Woohoo!

Zeke felt karma data being transmitted from the goddess statue.

[You have obtained the authentication code from the Goddess Teia Statue.]

[The acquired authentication code activates the inactive item.]

The goddess Teia’s Hersion that Zeke was wearing began to react with the authentication code.

Woooo …

[Activates an inactive item.]

[The sealed great magic circle is activated.]

[All 29 spells engraved on Hersion are activated.]

As the great magic circles engraved on Hersion were activated a bright light with a mysterious pattern emitted from the surface.

Zeke looked surprised as he saw the fully activated Hersion of the Goddess Theia.

‘Is this the true Hersion of the goddess Theia?’

As he was exclaiming in admiration a message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[The authentication code detects the power of the Shadow Dragon sleeping in the user’s heart.]

[Those who have received the title Blessing of the Dragon will respond to the corresponding authentication code.]

[Hidden codes hidden in activated items will be activated.]

[The hidden code is activated revealing the true form of the goddess Teia’s legacy.]

Ddddddddddd—

A vibration occurred in the Hersion of the goddess Theia which was emitting a mysterious light.

At the same time Hersion’s appearance began to change.

Kkwadduk!

Soon Hersion was forcibly released and Zig was thrown out of the armor.

‘what?’

As Zeke looked at it with a puzzled face the great magic circle on the surface of Hersion began to glow and the message appeared again.

[The true legacy of the sealed goddess Theia is passed down to the user.]

With that message a black aura began to emanate from the opened armor.

Tsk tsk tsk―

The black energy enveloped Zig’s body and naturally took hold of him.

At the same time the dragon’s heart moved and a sentence appeared over Zeke’s chest.

Tsk tsk tsk―

The black energy that had permeated his body Bahamut’s heart and Zeke’s shadow all reacted with each other.

After a while surprisingly Zeke’s shadow took shape and wrapped itself around his body.

[The true legacy of the Goddess Theia the ‘Shadow Armor’ is infused into the user’s body.]

[The seal rate of Bahamut the Ruler of Sunset has been lowered to 25% due to the influence of Shadow Armor.]

[When using Bahamut’s power while wearing Shadow Armor its power is doubled.]

Zeke couldn’t close his gaping mouth as he looked at the message that came to mind.

“The true legacy of the goddess Theia? Shadow Armor?”

This meant that Hersion who was made of Orichalcum was merely sealing this Shadow Armor.

Zeke looked at the shadow armor that wrapped around his body.

The shadows were undulating as if they had a form.

As Zeke looked down at it a thought occurred to him and the shadow immediately began to move according to its will.

‘Then is this also possible?’

Zeke imagined the shape of a shield in his head.

Ching!

A shadow enveloped Zeke’s hand and immediately took the form of the shield he had envisioned.

“Isn’t that really true?”

Zeke tapped the shield he had created in his hand.

It felt like a metal so solid it was hard to believe it was made of shadows.

Wanting to experiment a little more Zeke took out Roland and slammed his shield down.

Kagan!

Even though Roland was made of orichalcum his shield wasn’t even scratched.

“It’s so hard. Then will this work too?”

This time Zeke conjured a shadow and imagined the shape of armor covering his body.

Kwakwakwakwa―

In an instant the shadow enveloped Zeke’s body like Hersion creating full plate armor.

It was much more body-hugging than the Hersion and felt almost weightless.

“Oh my god what on earth is the principle behind this?”

Shadow Armor could create anything at will and control it at will.

After experimenting with it a few times Zeke began to understand why it was the true legacy of the goddess Theia.

Zeke approached the original Hersion whose Shadow Armor had been removed.

Hersion still had the great magic circle floating on the surface emitting a mysterious light.

“I guess I’ll use Shadow Armor in emergencies and use this as normal in normal times. It’ll be even more useful now that all the great magic circles are activated.”

After changing the Hersion into its armor form Zeke put it back on and this time took out the sword of Siemens Apollyon from his inventory.

‘It’s time to find out what this sword is.’

Zeke applied the authentication code he received from the statue of the goddess Theia to his sword.

[Activates an inactive item.]

[The ‘true name’ of the sealed sword is revealed.]

[A section of the promised sword of liberation the solid shadow sword ‘Kaladbolg’ releases its power along with its true name.]

Woof woof woof!

As the message appeared the sword in Zeke’s hand began to vibrate violently.

‘Kaladbolg?’

It was a name I was hearing for the first time.

At that moment the Shadow Armor inhabiting the bodies of Caladbolg and Zeke whose power had been released began to react.

[Shadow Armor is connected to Caladbolg which has the same source of power.]

[Kaladbolg combines with Shadow Armor.]

Tsk tsk tsk tsk―

Caladbolg took the form of a shadow and seeped into the Shadow Armor.

‘Kaladbolg has the same source of power as Shadow Armor?’

Zeke raised his head and looked at the statue of the goddess Theia.

It wouldn’t be strange if they were closely related since the code from the Statue of the Goddess Teia was used to activate two items that had been inactive.

Zeke recalled that the Shadow Armor imbued with the power of the goddess Theia was also connected to the heart of the shadow dragon Bahamut.

This allowed Zeke to draw one conclusion.

‘Is the main power of the goddess Theia related to shadows?’

The common denominator between Bahamut and Shadow Armor Caladbolg was ‘shadow’.

Zeke realized that the source of the power of the constellation the goddess Theia was connected to shadows.

Zeke thought of the sword that had been buried in the Draker family’s secret location.

‘Wait a minute the message just now said ‘A section of the Sword of Promised Liberation’. Does that mean that the swords imbued with the power of shadows including Caladbolg are divided into several pieces…?’

As he thought about the sword another message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[Activated an inactive item.]

[Achievement quest successful.]

[You will receive the title Theia’s Blessing as a reward.]

[You will obtain the power ‘Shadow Domination’ as a reward for completing the linked quest mission.]

[The same power exists so the two powers combine to transform into a new power.]

[You have acquired the power ‘Shadow King’.]

[The skill ‘Shadow Clone’ is absorbed into the power ‘Shadow King’.]

[The skill ‘Acting’ is absorbed into the power ‘Shadow King’.]

[The Dragon Tribe skill ‘Absorption’ is absorbed into the power ‘Shadow King’.]

[Bahamut’s power grows stronger with the power of the ‘Shadow King’.]

[The power of the Shadow Spirits becomes stronger with the power of the ‘Shadow King’.]

[Shadow Armor and Caladbolg’s powers become stronger with the power of the ‘Shadow King’.]

Zeke was startled as he looked at the messages that appeared.

“The mighty Shadow King.”

After gaining unexpected powers Zeke tried raising shadows as a test.

Tsk tsk tsk―

Zeke’s shadow rose and moved freely.

There we could see the Shadow Armor completely merged with Zeke’s shadow moving freely according to his will.

“Kaladbolg.”

This time when Sieg decided to check the sword and called out its true name Caladbolg appeared from the shadows and was placed in Sieg’s hand.

When Zeke swung the Caladbolg it felt as if the sword and his body were connected.

“It’s not just words that say the sword is united with the divine it really feels like the sword has become my body.”

It hadn’t been easy getting here but Zig felt quite satisfied because he had been appropriately rewarded.

However since what he had obtained was far beyond common sense Zeke decided to hide the Caladbolg just like the Shadow Armor and use it in times of emergency.

He put his sword back into the shadows and looked up at the statue of the goddess Theia and suddenly an idea occurred to him.

‘By the way how do I get out of here?’

What came in was somehow entered by using the power of deception but what actually went out was not thought about.

After thinking about it Zeke opened the system portal.

[Portal is disabled in this area.]

But as expected the portal did not work.

‘I’m starting to have a headache.’

As Zeke looked at the restored Theia Goddess Statue he thought of a way out and remembered the title he had received as a reward earlier ‘Theia’s Blessing’.

“With this I guess I can now access the admin system.”

As Zeke excitedly gave the command to the system to connect to the administrator system a message soon appeared.

[Connect to the admin system using the code extracted from the title Theia’s Blessing.]

[Unlock the security area with the code.]

[The system has found a message stored for users of that code.]

[Do you want to confirm this message?]

“You have saved messages?”

Zeke decided to check the message with a puzzled look on his face.

[Check the message.]

[Karma data stored in the message is sent to the user.]

Tsk tsk tsk―

At that moment something appeared before Zig’s eyes.

‘That’s?’

Surprisingly the figure that appeared in front of Zeke was the spirit of a person he knew.

[Zeke Draker.]

A woman with snow-white hair and eyebrows who resembles the heroic king Caesar.

It was none other than Chronos the dragon of time.

“Lord Kronos?”

I never thought I would meet Chronos again like this after meeting him in the past across the timeline.

The spirit of Kronos whose form was translucent and not in perfect condition smiled at Zeke.

[I got here just as I expected.]

Zeke looked surprised when he heard Kronos’ words.

“Did you know I was coming here?”

[I am a time-manipulating dragon. I see countless futures and determine which of them will come to us. I saw the possibility of a future where you would come here but… honestly I didn’t have high expectations. It was such a difficult path.]

Chijijijijijik―

Kronos’ spirit body shook and seemed ready to disintegrate at any moment.

She said looking at Zeke.

[We don’t have much time so let me start with something important. The time of destiny is drawing near.]

“Are you saying… that the Demon King’s resurrection is just around the corner?”

Kronos nodded.

[There are several signs regarding the destruction of this world and the resurrection of the Demon King. And one of those signs is about to happen.]

“Signs of Destruction… What is the first sign you spoke of?”

Cronus took a deep breath and continued.

[Lunar Eclipse. On the day the moon turns red an evil spirit will arrive in the world of phenomena. When that happens it should be considered the first signal of destruction.]

When Zeke heard the words lunar eclipse and ominous star one thing came to mind.

“The evil spirit… The power of the flesh-eating emperor Ajitahaka… Could it be?”

Something clicked in Zeke’s head.

Ramon Siemens was able to use the powers of the Meat Emperor Ajitahaka.

He didn’t show himself at all when Abel occupied Rom as if he was waiting for something.

‘He must be preparing a new baptism. What if it is to bring the evil spirit Ajitahaka to the world of phenomena?’

Seeing the true body of Ajitahaka trapped in the isolation zone Zeke recalled its terrifying power.

If Ramon Siemens were to be baptized by the lunar eclipse and imbue his body with the power of Ajitahaka it was clear that the landscape of the continent would be completely turned upside down.

Even if he were Grand Master Arthur Draker it was uncertain whether he would be able to deal with the power of Ajitahaka.

At that moment Abel who was only a shell came to Zeke’s mind.

At that moment Zeke’s body trembled.

Because I could sense what Ramon Siemens’ intentions were.

He looked at Kronos and said:

“If Ramon Siemens gains the power of flesh he will be able to eat Abel and absorb Draker’s blood.”

The power of flesh can absorb the abilities of what it eats.

If Ramon Siemens were to eat Abel’s flesh after gaining the full power of the flesh-eating power he would be able to absorb all of his flesh-eating power.

Abel’s body had Draker’s blood flowing through it and his blood contained the same immortal powers as Siemens Apollyon and Terracan Draker passed down from King Solomon.

Zeke said looking at Kronos with a heavy expression.

“Does Ramon Siemens want to become the Demon King himself?”
