A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 451



Episode 451

‘It was the great sage’s arrangement that brought me back.’

Until now he believed that it was the Elder Dragon and the Dragon of Time Kronos who had caused him to regress.

But the person who prepared that arrangement was none other than a great wise man.

Zeke opened his mouth as he looked at the great sage.

“Did the wise man know that I would take the Elder Dragon’s legacy and make such arrangements?”

At those words the great sage smiled and shook his head.

“That is not true. Even I cannot know everything that will happen in the future which is an uncertain continuum. Just like Chronos.”

Zeke asked the question again as if he did not quite understand the great sage’s answer.

“The Elder Dragon said that he had placed the ‘power of the irreversible promise’ in the statue but he did not believe that this power would truly be activated. If even the Sage could not be sure then why….”

The great sage nodded at Zeke’s words.

“I the Elder Dragon and Kronos all had hopes for a very small possibility. And it was Sir Zeke who seized that possibility with his own power.”

“It all sounds like a coincidence.”

“No. There is no such thing as coincidence in this universe. Even the smallest thing is the result of countless gears turning.”

Zeke said looking at the great sage.

“The Elder Dragon said that I wanted to return on my own and that I was given the chance to defy fate by my own will. But… I wonder. Is this really what I wanted?”

The great sage heard this and said to Zeke.

“Does Your Majesty regret coming back in time?”

Zeke hesitated and could not answer the great sage’s question right away.

My previous life was so miserable and desperate that it cannot be compared to my current life.

At that moment as he floundered in the pool of blood he regretted his past life and as death approached Zeke showed a strong will to live by reaching out to the legacy of the Elder Dragon.

That’s why the ‘Irreversible Power of Promise’ was activated and I was able to live my current life again.

The great sage looked at Zeke and said:

“I can see the seeds of anxiety sprouting in Sir Zeke’s mind.”

At those words Zeke raised his head and spoke with a slightly bitter expression.

“The seed of anxiety? This is a problem that does not apply to me an immortal.”

It wasn’t simply because of his belief that he wouldn’t die. Zeke’s passive skill ‘Unbreakable Will’ had the ability to block even mental and emotional damage.

Then the great sage shook his head.

“The anxiety that arises from uncertainty about one’s own existence is difficult to suppress even with the power of an immortal. What I mean is that Sir Zeke is increasingly anxious that all the new things he has acquired in his current life will disappear.”

Zeke bit his lips hard at the great sage’s words.

I wanted to deny it but my mouth wouldn’t open.

In his previous life Zig had nothing.

Those he loved also died in the war and so he himself lost the meaning of living.

But since I survived I struggled more and thought that if I became stronger something would change.

But that was a wrong idea.

‘Even if I had become a black knight in my previous life I probably wouldn’t have found a purpose in life.’

Nothingness and emptiness.

It was an emotion that had filled the void of my previous life.

But now it was different.

In this life there were more and more things he had to protect.

On the surface his goal was to become stronger than anyone else and be free from anyone’s control but as time passed Zeke’s thoughts began to change.

He found a home where he could stay and his people gradually began to fill it.

To protect them Zeke ran to become stronger.

But as the things he wanted to protect increased he became anxious.

I was afraid that everything would just disappear like a dream and leave me with the same emptiness as before.

That’s why Zeke kept asking questions.

It was to shake off his anxiety about why he had been regressed whether the new life he had been given was true and not a lie and whether he was worthy of living this life.

The great sage looked at Zeke and said:

“The life that Sir Jik stands on now is a history that Sir Jik has created. No one can destroy it.”

At the great sage’s firm words Zeke felt the anxiety that had long been weighing on his mind disappear.

I was barely able to put an end to my anxiety that everything after the regression created by a force I couldn’t understand might disappear like a bubble.

Zeke said looking at the great sage.

“Is it true that my being here now is not a coincidence but a necessity as the gears of the universe are moving?”

“It was none other than the will of Sir Zeke that set those gears in motion. The Elder Dragon and Kronos believed that this will would change the future of the apocalypse and save the phenomenal world.”

He said this while looking at the three sacred symbols floating in the air.

“Do you know when the last time these three gods were all gathered together?”

Zeke shook his head.

The great sage answered with a sly smile.

“That is when the ‘Irreversible Promised Power’ was placed within the Kabbalah system.”

As soon as he finished speaking a golden aura poured out from the Three Sacred Stones.

Woooo …

The great sage reached out to Zeke.

Then surprisingly the Jewel Sword Roland and the Hammer of the Fallen Tyr were automatically summoned from the inventory and floated into the air.

Seeing this Zeke felt once again that the great sage was also a master manager.

The great sage looked at Roland floating in the air and said:

“The Orichalcum sword imbued with the noble will of a knight and the hammer imbued with the power of a brave warrior. They are the perfect frame for a new divine weapon.”

As he stretched his hand into the air the light emanating from the three sacred symbols became even more dazzling.

Then a golden aura flowed into Roland and the hammer.

Woooo …

Zeke couldn’t help but be amazed as he watched the power of the three holy relics infuse Roland and the hammer.

‘The power of the three gods is combined into one?’

Woooo …

As Zeke stared at the sight with astonished eyes the golden aura flowing from the relic gradually diminished and Roland and Tyr’s hammers were bathed in a splendid light.

As the auspicious light seeped in the sword and hammer began to vibrate.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk―

At the same time Roland and Hammer began to merge into one.

Zeke was surprised when he saw this.

‘The power of the Three Sacred Spirits and Roland Tyr’s hammer combined into one.’

A sword merged into a radiance was revealed.

Woooo …

The overall size of Roland which was in the form of an arming sword has increased and the pommel has been lengthened on both sides to form a cross sword.

The face of the sword is engraved with ancient letters in golden relief.

Although the striking splendor was gone the detailed workmanship was much more refined and the overall atmosphere was grandiose.

The great sage nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the cross sword with a golden aura rippling over it.

“The power of the Three Gods has been well established.”

He gestured again and the cross sword moved with a swivel and stopped in front of Zig.

“Try to catch it Sir Zeke.”

Zeke slowly reached out his hand as he looked at the changed Roland.

The moment he picked up the sword a message appeared before his eyes.

[The Jewel Sword Roland and Tyr’s Hammer are combined.]

[The combined weapons have been strengthened by the power of the holy relic.]

[Evolves into a legendary item granting the sword its true name.]

[The sword is named ‘Holy Sword Ascalon’ which holds the light of the beginning.]

‘A rare item? It evolved into a holy sword?’

Zeke checked the information on the newly transformed sword Ascalon.

-Information on the Holy Sword Ascalon-

Description: A sacred sword that evolved into the power of the Three Gods which contains the light of the beginning after combining a jewel sword and a weapon imbued with the power of the demon.

Unique Ability: Grants the will of light purification spirit transformation and awakening.

Special: Deals 5x damage when used on a magical being. / When the Will of Light is activated it changes to 10x damage.

Zeke could not help but be amazed at the powers granted to Ascalon.

In addition to the power of the Three Gods a new power called the ‘Will of Light’ was created.

‘If you activate the Will of Light you can inflict ten times the damage on a magical being…’

For Zikro who was about to have a decisive battle with the Demon King’s army this power was absolutely necessary.

At the same time a message came to mind.

[You acquire the title ‘Master of the Holy Sword’.]

[Depending on the title ‘Master of the Holy Sword’ the special skills Holy Light and Demon Hunting are combined to transform into a new skill.]

[Special skill Holy Spirit (SS-grade) is registered.]

[Active skill: Blade of Brilliant Light is absorbed into the Holy Spirit.]

Due to the influence of the Holy Sword Ascalon the Holy Light skill evolved and a new skill called Holy Spirit skill was created.

The great sage looked with satisfaction at the holy sword named Ascalon.

“The Holy Sword of Ascalon. The power of this sword will be of great help to you on your journey ahead Sir Zeke.”

At those words Zeke took his gaze away from the sword and asked the great sage.

“Sir I have a question for you.”

“Please speak.”

“The sword in front of me now with the true name of Ascalon is it a sword that originally existed or is it a sword newly created at this point in time?”

For some reason the sword whose true name was revealed to be ‘Kaladbolg’ came to mind and I began to have doubts.

The great sage pondered over Zeke’s words and then slowly opened his mouth.

“To be precise the sword called the Holy Sword Ascalon does not exist at the present time.”

Zeke looked surprised at his words then said in a puzzled tone.

“It doesn’t exist at the present… So does that mean it existed in the past?”

“The numerous civilizations that existed on this continent have had their traces erased by the constellations and their entire history has disappeared. No one remembers them but their traces still exist on the Cetropy Dimension Server in the form of karma data.”

At the words of the great sage Zigg looked at the Holy Sword Ascalon and asked.

“So are you saying that this sword was made in a previous civilization not the current one?”

The great sage nodded.

“It seems right to see that traces that disappeared long ago and cannot be remembered have been manifested here through karma transcending causality.”

An item that had remained in a civilization that was even further back in time than the constellation era before the current civilization had been resurrected and revealed itself once again in Zig’s hands.

Zeke lifted the holy sword Ascalon towards the sky.

Then he tried to invoke the power of the Holy Spirit.

Wooooow!

A golden aura spread from the sword creating a dome-shaped barrier around it.

It seemed that the range was enough to inflict ten times the damage to a being with magic.

‘As the great sage said this sword will be of great help in the coming fight.’

Zeke looked at his newly acquired holy sword with a satisfied expression.

Then the great sage looked at Zeke and said:

“Do you have the Sir Zeke Longomiant?”

Zeke nodded to the great sage’s words.

“That’s right. How did you know that?”

“As a Master Administrator I too can use the Akashic Codes to trace events that occur in the phenomenal world. I call this power ‘Clairvoyance.’”

As he said that and reached out his hand again the Longomiant and Bahamut from Zeke’s inventory appeared in the air.

Currently Bahamut was in a state of cracks due to an attack by Harvey West a priest of the Abyss.

The great sage nodded when he saw this.

“The priest of the Abyss is also one who is outside the laws of this world. That is why even items with indestructible properties can be destroyed.”

“If it deviates from the laws of the world… are you saying that the priest is also an irregular?”

The great sage shook his head.

“Although similar I don’t think it’s appropriate to call him an Irregular since he is not outside the law by the power of the God of Chaos.”

“Is it possible to escape the laws of the world by any power other than that of the God of Chaos?”

“Yes. That is…..”

Chijijijijijik―

For a moment the great sage’s body flickered and his spirit became confused then returned to its original state.

He said with a frown.

“It seems that you don’t have enough karma left to bear the causality of telling me that story.”

The great sage raised his head and looked at the Holy Spear Longomiant and Bahamut.

Then he stretched out both hands and slowly brought his palms together.

“To stand against the Abyssal Priest who has transcended the law you will need to have the strength to stand up to him.”

Woooo …

Longomiant and Bahamut both of similar appearance began to get closer and closer eventually merging into one.

Tsk tsk tsk―

Longomiant burrowed into the cracks of the broken Bahamut spewing out black mist.

Zeke’s eyes widened at this sight.

‘Rongomiant and Bahamut are merging into one?’

Before I knew it Longomiant had completely disappeared into thin air and black dust could be seen swirling around Bahamut.

Kkwadduk-

Bahamut now completely imbued with Longomiant began to transform into a new form.
